- 0:52Speaker 1: how how are you doing? This is like the first
- 0:54Speaker 1: host shot segment that like, I feel like we have
- 0:58Speaker 1: nothing to talk about? What do you mean? My life
- 1:00Speaker 1: super exciting? Actually, actually I have been going to bed
- 1:04Speaker 1: with my wife at about seven forty five and the
- 1:08Speaker 1: PM because it gets dark, we've been turning on a
- 1:11Speaker 1: Christmas movie and for the last three nights. So one
- 1:15Speaker 1: of my favorite things, I'll tell you this, my favorite
- 1:18Speaker 1: things now in the world is when Jessica lays her
- 1:21Speaker 1: head on my chest as we watch a movie. So
- 1:24Speaker 1: like we'll be laying there and she'll she'll just cuttle
- 1:27Speaker 1: up real close, put her head on my chest. The
- 1:29Speaker 1: only problem with that is it takes about twenty five
- 1:32Speaker 1: minutes at most for her to be doing the whole
- 1:35Speaker 1: like sleep wiggles, you know I'm talking about when they
- 1:37Speaker 1: like you fall asleep and you start like running in
- 1:39Speaker 1: your sleep. She does that. So about eight thirty she
- 1:43Speaker 1: falls asleep and about five ten she's wide away downstairs
- 1:48Speaker 1: making coffee. God, that's horrible. Yeah, I'm not up at
- 1:53Speaker 1: that point. My my alarm doesn't go off for another
- 1:55Speaker 1: hour after that. But still, um, that's been our week.
- 2:00Speaker 1: Been a lot of Christmas movies, a lot of a
- 2:04Speaker 1: lot of great time with my wife back here in Denver. Uh.
- 2:08Speaker 1: We are back in the swing of things. She is
- 2:10Speaker 1: giving as many facials and derma plains as she can,
- 2:13Speaker 1: and I am catching up on everything missed the last
- 2:16Speaker 1: few weeks. But Ashley big opening night for Audrey's Coffee Shop.
- 2:22Speaker 1: We did have a big week. I lied before when
- 2:25Speaker 1: I said we had nothing to talk about. Ben's even
- 2:27Speaker 1: been involved heavily this week in the opening of Audrey's
- 2:32Speaker 1: Coffeehouse and Lounge. Our opening night. I didn't been do
- 2:36Speaker 1: a head count, but I would assume there have been
- 2:39Speaker 1: close to four people there. It was massive. It was
- 2:43Speaker 1: so thank you Bachelor Nation for coming out and droves.
- 2:47Speaker 1: That's amazing in the very support of Rhode Island community.
- 2:50Speaker 1: That was awesome. Ben said that he thought we had
- 2:53Speaker 1: enough coffee for a while, but said that we flew
- 2:57Speaker 1: out of it given that we were only open for
- 3:00Speaker 1: like seven days and needed at a rush order. We
- 3:04Speaker 1: have been roasting an overnighting coffee now for the last
- 3:07Speaker 1: three days to this coffee shop, because you've sold out
- 3:10Speaker 1: about as much coffee as I expected to last few
- 3:13Speaker 1: three weeks and so way, oh yeah, so you have
- 3:17Speaker 1: like really really started out on a good foot. I
- 3:21Speaker 1: mean I estimated this based on our Golden Coffee Shop,
- 3:24Speaker 1: which is a very great coffee shop here in Golden
- 3:26Speaker 1: that does really well. Uh, and you guys just dominated it.
- 3:30Speaker 1: So congrats in the opening. It has been a big week. Um,
- 3:35Speaker 1: things will get smoother, uh and easier. But I know
- 3:38Speaker 1: from everything that I've read and heard that place is
- 3:41Speaker 1: really really cool. Thank you so much. You talk about
- 3:46Speaker 1: all your cozy Christmas Eve moments with your wife and
- 3:49Speaker 1: I'm jealous because I feel like where's my husband. I
- 3:53Speaker 1: feel like to stay at home wife right now because
- 3:58Speaker 1: Jared is at the coffee shop a sixteen hours a day. Yeah,
- 4:01Speaker 1: and uh, we haven't had a lot of quality time lately,
- 4:05Speaker 1: which sucks, especially around this time of year where we
- 4:07Speaker 1: would definitely be doing the Christmas movie watching. But it's okay.
- 4:11Speaker 1: All will settle into place eventually. I'm thinking probably like
- 4:16Speaker 1: March or April. Yeah, yeah, hey, celebrate then. Well, everybody,
- 4:21Speaker 1: this is mentel all week uh for the Bachelorette, and
- 4:25Speaker 1: this is Michelle's season of the Bachelorette. It was a
- 4:29Speaker 1: unique mentel all. There was a lot of drama, a
- 4:32Speaker 1: lot of fighting, a lot of just unexpected fan cameos
- 4:38Speaker 1: and things happening to spice up the mentel all. Uh.
- 4:44Speaker 1: This is Caitlin and Tatia's second um hosting of am
- 4:49Speaker 1: I right, yeah, the second hosting of the Mental all
- 4:53Speaker 1: I thought they did great. Uh. Some of the big
- 4:55Speaker 1: storylines in this mentel all that will dive into is
- 4:58Speaker 1: is Tasia has to walk out of Mental all um
- 5:01Speaker 1: due to the conversation she was having about her breakup.
- 5:05Speaker 1: We'll talk about that. We're also going to talk about
- 5:07Speaker 1: the drama amongst the men and then tease and talk
- 5:11Speaker 1: about what we think of the next season of The Bachelor,
- 5:14Speaker 1: which they confirmed I guess during this episode or I
- 5:18Speaker 1: don't know, but I think they confirmed it last week. Okay,
- 5:20Speaker 1: well they confirmed it last week. Clayton is the Bachelor
- 5:24Speaker 1: and uh, and they showed a sneak peek of his season,
- 5:27Speaker 1: which was full of drama, as we had to expect.
- 5:32Speaker 1: It looks better than the teaser for this season and
- 5:37Speaker 1: looked it does. Um. I think I think that poor
- 5:40Speaker 1: Clayton guy is a nice guy. I think this thing
- 5:43Speaker 1: was probably very hard for him to navigate, which is
- 5:48Speaker 1: not a criticism on Clayton as a human. I just
- 5:51Speaker 1: think that he's a nice guy who cared a lot
- 5:53Speaker 1: um and uh and probably walked into something that he
- 5:56Speaker 1: did not expect. You mean he he accidentally said I
- 6:01Speaker 1: love you to three people. Yeah. What a mistakes? What
- 6:04Speaker 1: a mistake, That's what I said. I I posted it
- 6:07Speaker 1: last night. I was like, you know what, I hope
- 6:10Speaker 1: at some point everybody has during this holiday season a
- 6:14Speaker 1: moment to reflect on my season of the Bachelor and go,
- 6:18Speaker 1: you know what, we gave that bing guy a hard
- 6:20Speaker 1: time and he deserves an apology. I know. Oh the
- 6:27Speaker 1: things that have happened since to think that that was dramatic, right,
- 6:30Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. Well, time moves on. Well, hey, let's
- 6:33Speaker 1: take a break here. Actually, when we come back, we
- 6:35Speaker 1: are going to do the mente All breakdown and also
- 6:39Speaker 1: hot topics of this week within Bachelor Nation, Caitlyn and
- 6:53Speaker 1: Tatious start out Mental All. They are still the host
- 6:57Speaker 1: and mentors. Live shows are all ease A big deal.
- 7:02Speaker 1: I think for me to watch them as host because
- 7:04Speaker 1: I can be easy and it's totally different than you know,
- 7:09Speaker 1: hosting the show where it's like little cameos and conversations.
- 7:13Speaker 1: I thought they did great. Yeah, I thought they did
- 7:16Speaker 1: really well. It's so much harder than doing the little
- 7:19Speaker 1: like hi guys. So today Michelle wanted you to know,
- 7:25Speaker 1: you know, conducting a live show in front of a
- 7:28Speaker 1: studio audience is pretty it is pretty crazy. They did.
- 7:31Speaker 1: They did do a great job, just reiterating how we
- 7:33Speaker 1: feel about those ladies. I will say, though, different than
- 7:38Speaker 1: mental Alls of the past where they really let these
- 7:41Speaker 1: guys go at it. And in fact, if you noticed
- 7:45Speaker 1: watching it, there was moments where Calin and Tasia rolled
- 7:49Speaker 1: their eyes and said oh geez, when somebody would speak
- 7:52Speaker 1: up too often or they kind of like let these
- 7:56Speaker 1: things go on longer than we've seen in the past. Okay,
- 8:01Speaker 1: I can I vibe you on that, not that not
- 8:03Speaker 1: that that's bad. It's just like it's just what it
- 8:06Speaker 1: is kind of their style. And I mean as a viewer, ash,
- 8:10Speaker 1: I don't fully dislike it because I want to see
- 8:13Speaker 1: what's going on. Yeah, yeah, I want them to be
- 8:16Speaker 1: kind of like fans. So I actually thought the first
- 8:21Speaker 1: half of Mental All was a lot stronger than the
- 8:23Speaker 1: second half when I think about the memorable moments. Oddly, um,
- 8:29Speaker 1: it was between characters that probably weren't there very long
- 8:34Speaker 1: for me, my standout moments and maybe like because it's
- 8:38Speaker 1: it's Mental All and there there's like a lot of
- 8:40Speaker 1: filler content in it. Do you want to just kind
- 8:42Speaker 1: of go through the episode like with what stood out
- 8:46Speaker 1: to you and we stood out to me? Yeah, well,
- 8:49Speaker 1: I do agree with you. I thought Romeo stood out
- 8:52Speaker 1: to me. Uh, and Romeo I've always been a fan of.
- 8:55Speaker 1: I thought he, you know, he's very intelligent obviously with
- 8:58Speaker 1: his pedigree and education in and kind of what he
- 9:00Speaker 1: does for a living. I also just thought he seemed
- 9:03Speaker 1: very comfortable during his time in the Bachelor. I thought
- 9:05Speaker 1: he was released very early. I don't know why. Um.
- 9:08Speaker 1: He kind of reminds me of the John Hersey's I
- 9:11Speaker 1: think that's his name. Where who's with? Whoever's with? Um? Katie? Now? Uh,
- 9:17Speaker 1: you know, I was a big fan of John and
- 9:19Speaker 1: then he got let go and I still have the Instagram.
- 9:22Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Ben, it's all coming back to me now.
- 9:27Speaker 1: Remember it's all coming back. You were a huge fan
- 9:31Speaker 1: of John. It was like your dark hor Yeah, he
- 9:34Speaker 1: was my dark horse. I knew it. I do. People
- 9:38Speaker 1: just need to listen to me more, Ashley. That's the thing,
- 9:40Speaker 1: is I just I I predicted it. I still have
- 9:43Speaker 1: the Instagram message where he said, hey, I heard you
- 9:45Speaker 1: spoke nicely of me, thanks for that. Like I did,
- 9:48Speaker 1: I thought he I thought he had a lot going
- 9:50Speaker 1: for him. And then look at it now, so and
- 9:52Speaker 1: I thought they looked good together. Yeah, I know, how funny. Okay.
- 9:57Speaker 1: So Romeo was a stand out to you. His hair
- 9:59Speaker 1: was a stand out to me. I did not like
- 10:01Speaker 1: the new do. Maybe that's going to be a trend.
- 10:03Speaker 1: I mean maybe just maybe that comes like we'll see
- 10:06Speaker 1: it spread across the country because of this year's you know,
- 10:10Speaker 1: season of The Bachelor at But anyways, okay, so back
- 10:14Speaker 1: to a big moment that first stood out to me.
- 10:16Speaker 1: Uh was obviously the Will in Peter drama Will call
- 10:19Speaker 1: him Peter a narcissa wild That was the best part
- 10:23Speaker 1: of the whole episode. I mean, so contentious and so dramatic. So, Ashley,
- 10:29Speaker 1: I want to hear from you as you watch this
- 10:32Speaker 1: on television, what is going through your mind as these
- 10:37Speaker 1: two people two seats from each other, are just going
- 10:40Speaker 1: back and forth. Well, okay, so Will says that Peter
- 10:45Speaker 1: should have gone on to Shark Tank if he was
- 10:47Speaker 1: wanting to promote a business, and it all stems from
- 10:51Speaker 1: that drama they had about it was Will calling Peter
- 10:57Speaker 1: a narcissist, right, yeah, and then remember Peter ended up
- 11:01Speaker 1: throwing the top gun jacket into the pool. It was
- 11:05Speaker 1: all crazy and overdone. But now we see that Will,
- 11:10Speaker 1: it's so obviously writing horrible reviews about Peter's pizza place
- 11:16Speaker 1: online and now, as like a cafe owner, I know
- 11:21Speaker 1: how absolutely detrimental that is and I have so much
- 11:25Speaker 1: and like, this is so not cool, dude, you can't
- 11:28Speaker 1: do this. Um, so I was definitely team Peter and
- 11:32Speaker 1: all of it, and uh, yeah, I don't. I don't know,
- 11:37Speaker 1: well it is it's it's super detrimental to a business.
- 11:42Speaker 1: I you just really have to dislike somebody and want
- 11:45Speaker 1: to see somebody like fail to do like that. Like
- 11:50Speaker 1: there there have been people in my life that I
- 11:52Speaker 1: am not fans of that. I I just don't get
- 11:56Speaker 1: along with it. I don't see eye to eye with that.
- 11:58Speaker 1: Maybe we've had to that well, just when it come
- 12:00Speaker 1: to mind, like like the idea that you would take
- 12:03Speaker 1: action to then go out and hurt that person is
- 12:08Speaker 1: is very odd to me. Now, I don't think Peter
- 12:10Speaker 1: handles himself well on the show or even on mente all.
- 12:14Speaker 1: I thought, Uh, he was very confrontational. I felt like
- 12:18Speaker 1: the men there still don't really like him. Uh that
- 12:21Speaker 1: he was probably pretty annoying, But it doesn't take away
- 12:25Speaker 1: from the fact that Will went out of his way
- 12:27Speaker 1: to leave the leave these reviews. And I just can't
- 12:31Speaker 1: get behind that. Like I can't say that was a
- 12:34Speaker 1: funny thing or a good thing. It was. It was
- 12:36Speaker 1: honestly a little disturbing. Yeah, yeah, it was like evil. Yeah,
- 12:41Speaker 1: the bad sould So that starts out there drama. It
- 12:46Speaker 1: moves into that just a note before we get too
- 12:48Speaker 1: far along to where some guy, which I thought was
- 12:53Speaker 1: one of the weird parts of this show, comes out
- 12:57Speaker 1: and and serves will Um for defamation. UM. But I'm like, dude,
- 13:06Speaker 1: do you know that you have now put yourself in
- 13:08Speaker 1: the public figure realm you cannot sue for defamation at
- 13:11Speaker 1: this point. Oh no, it's just like it's it's pretty
- 13:13Speaker 1: much impossible. You're never gonna win it. Um. And but
- 13:17Speaker 1: it was odd to me. So this happens, right, and
- 13:20Speaker 1: I'm like, is this real? Is this not real? Probably
- 13:22Speaker 1: not real? But then Peter goes, this is just a
- 13:26Speaker 1: taste that will what will happen on in real life,
- 13:28Speaker 1: and I was like, Okay, this isn't real. Like Peter
- 13:30Speaker 1: said that line, I was like, oh, this is all fake,
- 13:32Speaker 1: Like super odd, super weird to have happened, but like
- 13:35Speaker 1: still spice things up, and that heightened the drama a
- 13:38Speaker 1: little bit more. UM. So okay, moving into the next
- 13:43Speaker 1: big dramatic thing for me, you might have something different,
- 13:46Speaker 1: But I'll stop here and say Ryan's little segment, uh,
- 13:51Speaker 1: for his very short time on this show, um mental
- 13:56Speaker 1: all really highlighted Ryan and his his moment of celebrity
- 14:02Speaker 1: by pretty much tanking himself with a playbook for how
- 14:08Speaker 1: to be on The Bachelor at this This segment went
- 14:11Speaker 1: on for a long time. I was surprised by it.
- 14:14Speaker 1: I still don't think it was the biggest deal ever.
- 14:16Speaker 1: And they also were trying to villainize him by saying
- 14:18Speaker 1: that his dream girls didn't look like Michelle and insinuating that, like,
- 14:24Speaker 1: he wouldn't be into a girl like Michelle. But like,
- 14:26Speaker 1: just because your celebrity crushes don't look like the person
- 14:30Speaker 1: you're dating doesn't mean that you're not attracted to them. Again,
- 14:33Speaker 1: he did a terrible job of explaining himself. He definitely
- 14:37Speaker 1: went with the whole like I'm just gonna throw apologies
- 14:40Speaker 1: out here to see if it sticks. Uh it didn't.
- 14:43Speaker 1: I don't you know. I don't think he was meant
- 14:46Speaker 1: to be with Michelle. I don't think his exit on
- 14:47Speaker 1: night one was a loss to the show or a
- 14:49Speaker 1: loss for Michelle. But but but they really highlighted it,
- 14:54Speaker 1: and uh, and they really made it a thing. Part
- 14:57Speaker 1: Deep even goes at Ryan during this whole thing, like
- 15:00Speaker 1: Part Deep steps up and just pretty much says that
- 15:05Speaker 1: Ryan has no integrity. Uh, I don't know if that's you,
- 15:08Speaker 1: and I don't know Ryan at all, but I was
- 15:10Speaker 1: shocked to see that coming from part deep. That's like
- 15:14Speaker 1: a bold thing to say for somebody who's only known
- 15:17Speaker 1: a person for a matter of hours on Night one.
- 15:20Speaker 1: Very bold. Yeah, what sit out to you? Then there's
- 15:24Speaker 1: so many guys that I did not know their names
- 15:27Speaker 1: sitting up there. Yeah. I mean, have you ever like
- 15:30Speaker 1: seen to tell all where you forgot so many of
- 15:33Speaker 1: the men? No, and I wonder why. I wonder if
- 15:35Speaker 1: that's just because of the But I can't even blame
- 15:38Speaker 1: it on that, because like tastious season, we knew a
- 15:40Speaker 1: lot of the guys sitting out there, right, we had
- 15:41Speaker 1: memories of them. Um. I wonder if it wasn't ademic
- 15:44Speaker 1: thing it wasn't. Yeah, I don't know why the cast
- 15:50Speaker 1: that was not like the final three or four really
- 15:53Speaker 1: five did not stand out to us. Yeah, it's very weird.
- 15:58Speaker 1: I will say that watching Clayton's preview, seeing them back
- 16:02Speaker 1: at the mansion and seeing them traveling to places again
- 16:07Speaker 1: was refreshing. I didn't realize how much I missed it
- 16:11Speaker 1: and maybe how much it contributes to the show. No,
- 16:13Speaker 1: I agree with that now, and I miss the mansion.
- 16:16Speaker 1: I miss having the familiarity of seeing them in the
- 16:19Speaker 1: hot tub or in the pool or you know, and
- 16:21Speaker 1: in the sitting areas, even the rose ceremony room. Uh,
- 16:26Speaker 1: that's gonna be fun to go back to and to
- 16:28Speaker 1: see them within it. It's gonna be uh kind of flat.
- 16:31Speaker 1: I mean, for as many changes that have happened in
- 16:33Speaker 1: the last year and a half to this show, it's
- 16:36Speaker 1: gonna be a little bit of familiarity that I think
- 16:38Speaker 1: many viewers are wanting and probably needing if they're going
- 16:42Speaker 1: to continue to be huge supporters of the show, and
- 16:45Speaker 1: you know, we hope they are. But I'll move us
- 16:48Speaker 1: through this then. Actually, the next big standout moment is Martin.
- 16:53Speaker 1: We see Martin again. Martin had a terrible exit. I'll
- 16:55Speaker 1: awful exit. Yeah, really bad he does. He does nothing
- 17:00Speaker 1: to redeem himself here for me. I know, he apologizes,
- 17:04Speaker 1: but he just he's appologized and just what he's got
- 17:09Speaker 1: to do, and I just get like weird vibes from him.
- 17:12Speaker 1: It does feel like this season had a lot of
- 17:14Speaker 1: people that we had like odd encounters with, like more
- 17:17Speaker 1: villains per se, maybe not standout villains. Like, I don't
- 17:21Speaker 1: know if any of these people are going to be
- 17:23Speaker 1: like guys that made you feel weird, like you did
- 17:25Speaker 1: not want to be friends with them, You didn't want
- 17:27Speaker 1: to be around them, Like Jamie, like I like resent
- 17:30Speaker 1: him through the TV, Like I don't want to be
- 17:33Speaker 1: near him. He makes me nervous. Yeah, he had you
- 17:36Speaker 1: had like a reaction to him. Well, it doesn't stop
- 17:38Speaker 1: thing because right after Martin, uh, we have Chris. So
- 17:42Speaker 1: like right away we have a bunch of confrontations. Now again,
- 17:44Speaker 1: I want to highlight this. This doesn't always happen on
- 17:46Speaker 1: the mental but we had a confrontation again amongst Peter
- 17:49Speaker 1: and Will. Then we move into Ryan and everybody confronts Ryan,
- 17:52Speaker 1: and then everybody moves into Martin and confronting my Martin,
- 17:56Speaker 1: and then we get to Chris, which felt like Alice
- 17:58Speaker 1: side of Jamie. We'll get to Jamie a second. Chris
- 18:00Speaker 1: had the most angst within the house. People were very
- 18:04Speaker 1: upset with Chris, and he definitely didn't do anything to
- 18:07Speaker 1: redeem himself here. This was a complete even backtracked here
- 18:11Speaker 1: calling a lou out um, I mean highlighting the fact
- 18:14Speaker 1: that he had a low I q uh a Lou
- 18:17Speaker 1: stands up and says, hey, I'm black excellence. I've got
- 18:19Speaker 1: a master's degree. Like really puts Chris in his place.
- 18:22Speaker 1: But another confrontation. We're starting up with five confrontations during
- 18:26Speaker 1: mental all and Rick, who probably is the guy who,
- 18:30Speaker 1: like we trust most in the house that was up
- 18:32Speaker 1: there on that stage, besides maybe Rodney. He said that
- 18:36Speaker 1: he was roommates with him and still doesn't believe him.
- 18:39Speaker 1: He said that outrageous thing. Remember he was like, I've
- 18:42Speaker 1: been some sexual induenda with hotter girls, and I'm like, okay,
- 18:49Speaker 1: first off, I don't even know that there are hotter
- 18:51Speaker 1: girls in existence the Michelle, So I really don't like you. Now,
- 18:56Speaker 1: what a weird thing to say to like even you know,
- 18:59Speaker 1: people can blame it on locker room talk or whatever,
- 19:02Speaker 1: but like, at any point if any guys like I
- 19:05Speaker 1: hooked up with hot a girls and the girl I'm
- 19:07Speaker 1: with reight, like, that's just a weird thing to say,
- 19:10Speaker 1: like and have your mindset around and a weird place
- 19:12Speaker 1: to put yourself within. Um, if that's true, again, it's
- 19:18Speaker 1: good that Chris went home. Now I'm you know, this
- 19:22Speaker 1: is the whole thing got weird to me because you're right.
- 19:25Speaker 1: Maybe that's why this episode felt so heavy at times,
- 19:27Speaker 1: because there were so many interactions with people and so
- 19:31Speaker 1: little um even desire, and they don't even ask for forgiveness.
- 19:36Speaker 1: They just apologize, like, hey, I'm sorry that I hurt
- 19:39Speaker 1: everybody in this room. It's like, well, okay, but like
- 19:43Speaker 1: you're not still taking accountability. And that moses into Jamie
- 19:46Speaker 1: because Jamie, in my opinion, took no accountability in fact.
- 19:49Speaker 1: And I know people on here are gonna get upset
- 19:51Speaker 1: with me and know they're gonna get fired up. And
- 19:53Speaker 1: I've been very good about this for a long time.
- 19:56Speaker 1: But Jamie described himself multiple time during this episode saying,
- 20:02Speaker 1: you know, I'm the type of guy that likes to
- 20:03Speaker 1: be a coach too and an encourage your too. I'm
- 20:06Speaker 1: the type of guy that that wants honesty. I'm telling you.
- 20:09Speaker 1: That is so Jamie. Though, like Jamie radiate self describing
- 20:15Speaker 1: in that way, Oh, it's so repulsive, and so I
- 20:19Speaker 1: hope people hear it and go, hey, when somebody does this,
- 20:22Speaker 1: when they tell you they're a nice person, it should
- 20:24Speaker 1: raise a little red flag. I'm not saying the biggest
- 20:26Speaker 1: red flag, but when somebody says I don't. I'm the
- 20:29Speaker 1: type of person that likes to encourage others. Okay, cool, Like,
- 20:34Speaker 1: good for you show me because I haven't seen it yet, like,
- 20:38Speaker 1: and Michelle calls him Adam. I thought Michelle did a
- 20:41Speaker 1: great job as saying, Jamie, it's nice that you're sitting
- 20:44Speaker 1: up there apologizing. It's nicier up there telling me how
- 20:47Speaker 1: great I am. But you did none of that actionably
- 20:51Speaker 1: when it mattered. You're just doing it now because you
- 20:53Speaker 1: feel forced to. That was her exact words. I'm not
- 20:56Speaker 1: saying that any of these people should be punished. I'm
- 20:58Speaker 1: just saying they should be called out. You. You should
- 21:01Speaker 1: be called out when your actions don't meet your words,
- 21:04Speaker 1: and you should try to adjust a little bit to
- 21:08Speaker 1: helping your actions match your words. If you're gonna say
- 21:11Speaker 1: you're a nice guy who likes to be an encourage her,
- 21:13Speaker 1: you better do it. Yeah, And he was like, you know,
- 21:18Speaker 1: I know I didn't say that I was the one
- 21:22Speaker 1: that brought it up, but you know, I thought I
- 21:25Speaker 1: might do that. I may face up to it, but
- 21:28Speaker 1: then it just like, I guess I just didn't it.
- 21:32Speaker 1: So the first part of this whole episode is confrontations.
- 21:36Speaker 1: It's drama, probably more confrontations and drama than we've seen
- 21:41Speaker 1: in a long time. I can't remember the last time
- 21:44Speaker 1: this type of thing happened on a live show. But
- 21:48Speaker 1: you know what that being said, did we really care
- 21:52Speaker 1: about seeing all of this? Because I remember when the
- 21:57Speaker 1: tell all what happened, and I would be like, Oh
- 22:00Speaker 1: my god, so and so is gonna have to sit
- 22:04Speaker 1: close to so into and they're going to have to
- 22:07Speaker 1: face that. Like you know, people made a big deal
- 22:11Speaker 1: when I was going to have to confront Kelsey or
- 22:14Speaker 1: like when on your season the Twins and Olivia, like
- 22:18Speaker 1: there were things that felt like so unresolved. There was
- 22:23Speaker 1: there was nothing about this tell all what I was like,
- 22:25Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I'm scared for I'm scared for so
- 22:28Speaker 1: and so. No, maybe, I mean I wonderfully I would say, maybe, Jamie,
- 22:34Speaker 1: I would wonder if a little bit that comes to
- 22:36Speaker 1: Ashley from your investment and our investment into Michelle and
- 22:43Speaker 1: her love story, because so much of this season has
- 22:45Speaker 1: been us talking about, you know, the guys at the
- 22:47Speaker 1: end and the guys that she matches with that the
- 22:50Speaker 1: drama just feels like it a little bit takes away
- 22:53Speaker 1: from that, and so it hasn't been something we've gotten
- 22:55Speaker 1: super into. There hasn't been cliffhanger storylines necessarily on an
- 22:59Speaker 1: episode that we're like, oh, I can't wait till next
- 23:02Speaker 1: week to see how this plays out. They're mostly just
- 23:04Speaker 1: stupid arguments for people being stupid. You know what that's
- 23:08Speaker 1: that raises a good point normally, you know, for the
- 23:10Speaker 1: past i'd say like five years, there's been non complete
- 23:15Speaker 1: episodes where like, we don't end after a roast, but
- 23:18Speaker 1: almost all of these episodes have ended after a ROAs ceremony.
- 23:22Speaker 1: And now I missed the other way. No, I don't
- 23:25Speaker 1: like you don't you like the conclusion? Yeah, I don't
- 23:28Speaker 1: like to be thinking about it all week. I want
- 23:29Speaker 1: to just close. I want to close close the laptop
- 23:32Speaker 1: after I get sent the screener and say I'm done. Um,
- 23:35Speaker 1: but that's just me. Well, next big moment after the
- 23:39Speaker 1: commercial break, we come into Caitlin asking Tasia while why
- 23:43Speaker 1: she's not wearing her engagement ring. It's a big moment
- 23:47Speaker 1: in the episode, especially for a host to kind of
- 23:51Speaker 1: have to be put on the hot seat as so,
- 23:53Speaker 1: what do you think? I thought it was really awkward?
- 23:56Speaker 1: Yeah I didn't. I didn't like I did not like
- 23:58Speaker 1: the way it was done. I know that they wanted
- 24:02Speaker 1: it to be addressed, and that's totally I mean, I
- 24:06Speaker 1: don't know if that's cool. I mean, if it was
- 24:08Speaker 1: cool with Tasha, then it's cool with me. But I
- 24:12Speaker 1: just thought it was weird to just be like, oh, hey, friends,
- 24:16Speaker 1: I noticed your rings that on. Maybe we should address
- 24:19Speaker 1: this now in the middle of the episode. I felt
- 24:22Speaker 1: like it could have been placed somewhere else. Uh, I
- 24:27Speaker 1: don't know, how how did you feel about it? I
- 24:28Speaker 1: just thought was awkward. I mean not that it's going
- 24:31Speaker 1: to be like not awkward, but well, just from a
- 24:33Speaker 1: flow standpoint, it was weird because all the drama was done.
- 24:36Speaker 1: You know, they're getting ready to bring Rodney on the stage,
- 24:39Speaker 1: and so you know, best case scenario is Tashia gets
- 24:42Speaker 1: confronted on this, she explains herself, and then she puts
- 24:45Speaker 1: a smile on her face. In her views Rodney, that's impossible.
- 24:48Speaker 1: She just got of a relationship probably, I mean a
- 24:51Speaker 1: week or two before this episode, and so had it
- 24:56Speaker 1: was just hard. She apparently filmed this at episode the
- 25:01Speaker 1: day of or the day after the breakup was announced,
- 25:05Speaker 1: so it's been within the past two weeks. Yes, so,
- 25:08Speaker 1: I mean, just from a flow perspective, it felt oddly placed.
- 25:13Speaker 1: I thought it could be done. It's very end at
- 25:16Speaker 1: the very beginning, but right in the middle, like right
- 25:20Speaker 1: before they bring good old Rodney up to talk see exactly. Actually,
- 25:24Speaker 1: I think it would have been okay at the end
- 25:26Speaker 1: because it was like, okay, well, we're going to continue
- 25:29Speaker 1: to watch Michelle's love story. Um, but Tassia, we have
- 25:32Speaker 1: a little bit of an update on what has happened,
- 25:36Speaker 1: um with yours. So that happens, Roddy comes up on stage.
- 25:42Speaker 1: Tassia then walks off this stage. I'm sure to take
- 25:45Speaker 1: a breather, um, just to refocus. Uh you know, I
- 25:50Speaker 1: mean I think it was it was just probably needed.
- 25:54Speaker 1: But Rodney comes up. It looks a little bit like
- 25:58Speaker 1: almost stagey, but sure it wasn't. Um. I bet you
- 26:03Speaker 1: she was sitting there for a second and trying to
- 26:06Speaker 1: compose herself, blink back the tears, you know, try to
- 26:09Speaker 1: console that lump in her throat, and she probably was like,
- 26:13Speaker 1: I can't do it, and it's going to be really
- 26:14Speaker 1: awkward if I'm sitting here and I start crying in
- 26:17Speaker 1: front of him about what's going through my brain in
- 26:19Speaker 1: my heart, so you know that I think that she
- 26:22Speaker 1: probably just said okay in her head, like let me
- 26:25Speaker 1: just walk off for a second. Yeah, it makes sense.
- 26:27Speaker 1: I agree, it did, look and I mean probably because
- 26:31Speaker 1: so much of this episode, like they had the streaker, uh,
- 26:35Speaker 1: they had the guy um serving will um. They there
- 26:40Speaker 1: is something else that happened during this episode I forget
- 26:43Speaker 1: at this point. So much of it kind of felt
- 26:45Speaker 1: like these are weird things that happen on a mentel
- 26:48Speaker 1: all that's supposed to be live that this was like
- 26:52Speaker 1: it kind of fell into that category of the one
- 26:54Speaker 1: off weird thing. But I'm sure it was just Tasha
- 26:58Speaker 1: needing a break and saying, but yeah, it's just with
- 27:01Speaker 1: this and within this episode of Fellow Weird. But anyways,
- 27:04Speaker 1: Rodney gets on stage. Uh, nothing made you here, in
- 27:07Speaker 1: my opinion, other than just finding out that Rodney is
- 27:09Speaker 1: still a good dude and their relationship move really slow,
- 27:13Speaker 1: and that it didn't make sense long term for them
- 27:16Speaker 1: to stay together. Caitlin does say that maybe she'll find
- 27:20Speaker 1: love on the beaches of Mexico, and I have to say,
- 27:23Speaker 1: if there's one guy in this group that I feel
- 27:25Speaker 1: like we're definitely going to see as a routable, more
- 27:30Speaker 1: romantic character in Paradise. It would be Rodney. Another shoeing
- 27:35Speaker 1: for Paradise, I would say would be Peter. Yeah, yeah,
- 27:39Speaker 1: I would say that too. Rodney. Rodney is a routable character.
- 27:42Speaker 1: I'm excited to see him in Paris. I think he'll
- 27:44Speaker 1: do great in Paradise. He's he reminds me of a
- 27:46Speaker 1: lot of the guys who have done really well there
- 27:48Speaker 1: and met the loves of their lives. They're just a
- 27:50Speaker 1: nice guy looking for love, honest, um and uh, and
- 27:55Speaker 1: just a kind human that you feel like you want
- 27:57Speaker 1: to be around. Well, this brings us into a little
- 28:00Speaker 1: break where we officially get to dive into Clayton's season
- 28:04Speaker 1: of the Bachelor. The guys start talking about Clayton because
- 28:08Speaker 1: he is not there. Um, we get to find out
- 28:11Speaker 1: a little bit more about how they feel about Clayton.
- 28:12Speaker 1: Feels like they all really like him, that they think
- 28:14Speaker 1: he's going to do great. Um, let's just go then
- 28:18Speaker 1: and talk. Since we're talking about Clayton, talk about his
- 28:21Speaker 1: preview Ashley. The preview that was aired seems dramatic, seems intense. Um,
- 28:29Speaker 1: not what I expected, but I want to hear your
- 28:31Speaker 1: thoughts before I share mine. I don't know whether I
- 28:36Speaker 1: should say this or not, but there was a girl,
- 28:39Speaker 1: but I'm gonna say it anyway. At the opening of
- 28:43Speaker 1: Audrey Is, there was a girl that in attendance who
- 28:47Speaker 1: was on Clayton's season, and she texted me yesterday during
- 28:52Speaker 1: the the airing of this preview and she was like,
- 28:55Speaker 1: oh my gosh, preview just aired. It feels really intense. Uh.
- 29:01Speaker 1: One of my friends is heavily involved in the preview
- 29:04Speaker 1: and she's like, it's just it's just so crazy. And
- 29:08Speaker 1: I'm like watching this and I'm like, actually, it looks good. Um,
- 29:12Speaker 1: does it look like inten more intense than another Bachelor season?
- 29:16Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I think there's so much focus though
- 29:19Speaker 1: on that top three. We don't we don't have any
- 29:24Speaker 1: other vibes as like how it's going to be throughout
- 29:29Speaker 1: as you weep through the girls. I was surprised that
- 29:33Speaker 1: he admits openly that he was intimate with more than
- 29:36Speaker 1: one person. Okay, okay, so that's been You're really on
- 29:41Speaker 1: top of things today. I have pregnancy brain. Wow. That
- 29:46Speaker 1: was interesting because the only reasoning as to why I
- 29:53Speaker 1: would think he would say that in that moment would
- 29:56Speaker 1: be if he lied to one of them or lied
- 29:59Speaker 1: to both. I'm previously and said I didn't with the
- 30:04Speaker 1: other person, because isn't it usually kind of assumed that
- 30:11Speaker 1: it that that there's a strong possibility at the top
- 30:15Speaker 1: two or whatever that might be that after fantasy suites
- 30:19Speaker 1: that has been done. Do you do you know what
- 30:23Speaker 1: I mean? I thinks I think that's the assumption, and
- 30:26Speaker 1: I think, like, usually it's not. I think that usually
- 30:30Speaker 1: the lead doesn't end up sleeping with like all three
- 30:33Speaker 1: in the fantasy suite, but those are things that are
- 30:35Speaker 1: addressed later on in private or it's like, oh, by
- 30:38Speaker 1: the way, I didn't. Why does he feel the need
- 30:42Speaker 1: to tell both of them at that moment. Well, I
- 30:44Speaker 1: think it's the assumption. I also think people don't talk
- 30:47Speaker 1: about it because it brings up something. I mean, if
- 30:51Speaker 1: you're the lead, you signed up for everything to be
- 30:53Speaker 1: aired out on the table, everything to be seen and
- 30:56Speaker 1: known about you. If you're contestant, you've SIMI done that.
- 31:00Speaker 1: You don't expect uh, I mean Nick Vile was famous
- 31:04Speaker 1: for this back in the day with Andy, But like,
- 31:05Speaker 1: you just don't expect it to be talked about unless
- 31:09Speaker 1: you both agree upon it because maybe you don't want
- 31:11Speaker 1: the whole world knowing what happened in the fantasy suite,
- 31:14Speaker 1: so it's assumed by the audience, it's probably assumed by
- 31:17Speaker 1: the cast members. But I agree with you that the
- 31:20Speaker 1: conversation typically happens in private if you did, because it's
- 31:25Speaker 1: just healthier and you've probably not had the opportunity to
- 31:29Speaker 1: go up to that person be like, hey, are you
- 31:31Speaker 1: okay if I talk about the fact that we were
- 31:33Speaker 1: intimate in the fantasy suite? Like, I just feel like,
- 31:36Speaker 1: if you haven't had that conversation, it's not exactly wise
- 31:38Speaker 1: to just throw it out there. But there has to
- 31:41Speaker 1: be a reason why he's throwing out there. Either he
- 31:42Speaker 1: feels like he has to, he feels he feels guilty,
- 31:45Speaker 1: like something happens that though I'm not saying it's definitely
- 31:50Speaker 1: not excuse what would be. You only can say that
- 31:54Speaker 1: kind of stuff publicly if you believe it's wise and
- 31:58Speaker 1: healthy for every party involved, And unless like guilt or
- 32:03Speaker 1: whatever is not the reason to do that, you have
- 32:06Speaker 1: to say no, I'm I'll wait and have this conversation afterwards. Um.
- 32:11Speaker 1: But I'm so bizarre that he wouldn't even pull them
- 32:13Speaker 1: each aside and been like, Hey, I have to tell
- 32:16Speaker 1: you something. It's so weird there in front of the
- 32:19Speaker 1: two of them, so they could just look at each
- 32:21Speaker 1: other and be like, uh, this is weird. Well, hey,
- 32:24Speaker 1: we don't know a lot about Clayton. We don't know
- 32:26Speaker 1: about a lot about his season, but we do know
- 32:28Speaker 1: somebody who It's been a while since she came on
- 32:31Speaker 1: the podcast. She is the founder of this podcast, the
- 32:33Speaker 1: executive producer of the podcast. She has met Clayton very
- 32:37Speaker 1: recently at a Nightheart event. She's been able to spend
- 32:41Speaker 1: time with him, and she's coming on the podcast right
- 32:42Speaker 1: now to tell us her thoughts on our new bachelor, Clayton. Okay,
- 32:56Speaker 1: we have Amy Sugarman, our producer, on the line, and
- 33:00Speaker 1: she hung out with Clayton for apparently an extended period
- 33:04Speaker 1: of time at l A's Kiss FM jingle Ball. Amy. Hi, guys,
- 33:09Speaker 1: welcome back to the podcast. It's been way too long.
- 33:13Speaker 1: I'm always watching and listening, but welcome back to your podcast.
- 33:18Speaker 1: First of all, I have to tell you Ashley, Oh
- 33:20Speaker 1: my god. So last night I was in the bathtub,
- 33:22Speaker 1: which is like you know what I do. So I
- 33:26Speaker 1: had my phone and I'm going through my Instagram. Oh
- 33:28Speaker 1: my god. First of all, I feel horrible for you
- 33:31Speaker 1: because I knew it was bad. But your Instagram where
- 33:35Speaker 1: you showed all the pictures and video of you, Oh
- 33:40Speaker 1: my god, I mean I love the Instagram. So for
- 33:43Speaker 1: everyone listening, so Ashley showed all these like beautiful models pregnant,
- 33:47Speaker 1: like just living their best lives, like pregnancy is just
- 33:52Speaker 1: a joy, and like they had blowouts and makeup and
- 33:56Speaker 1: perfect outfit, and then it's just Ashley barking looking horrendous,
- 34:04Speaker 1: like in pain, doubled over, laughing like laughing, going okay,
- 34:15Speaker 1: which I don't know if that's a good or bad thing,
- 34:17Speaker 1: ash But I'm sorry. I did bring me joy. Know
- 34:19Speaker 1: it brought me joy too. Honestly, I watched it. I
- 34:22Speaker 1: watched it, of course, and many times when I was
- 34:25Speaker 1: creating it, But then even yesterday, well reading comments, I
- 34:30Speaker 1: would find myself going back to rewatch it because like
- 34:33Speaker 1: people liked it. I was like, you see, I think,
- 34:37Speaker 1: why do they love it? I watched it eight times.
- 34:41Speaker 1: I was again, oh my gosh, there really was more
- 34:47Speaker 1: gnarly things that I could have included. But like I
- 34:50Speaker 1: texted you, guys, I had a more extended like throw
- 34:54Speaker 1: up clip. I did not ever show any vomit, like
- 34:57Speaker 1: you don't see anything combing out of my mouth, but
- 35:00Speaker 1: like you can see you can see like I'm actually
- 35:03Speaker 1: like you looked heathen. You know what I mean? Yes,
- 35:09Speaker 1: thank you for your honestly see A mean, this is
- 35:11Speaker 1: what I wanted to hear you like I want to.
- 35:14Speaker 1: I want to hear people say you look you're worse,
- 35:17Speaker 1: because like that is honesty, and that is what I
- 35:20Speaker 1: say about myself. I don't need pleasant tries. It does
- 35:24Speaker 1: not make me feel better. It makes me feel like
- 35:25Speaker 1: you're lying to by first about you're very pretty actually
- 35:29Speaker 1: but you look beyond and number two like I've had
- 35:34Speaker 1: sleepovers with you, so I know that even when you
- 35:36Speaker 1: wake up you look pretty. So like you look so bad,
- 35:40Speaker 1: like i'd say, you're still glowing. I'm just gonna keep
- 35:44Speaker 1: on that she's still glowing in my opinion, because you're
- 35:47Speaker 1: so funny, Amy Ben, you are very funny as well
- 35:51Speaker 1: for saying that. So anyway, yeah, okay, So what I
- 35:55Speaker 1: was saying was on TikTok when I had just a
- 35:58Speaker 1: tiny bit more of the barf bag scene, they flagged
- 36:03Speaker 1: it for graphic slash violent content. So when I put
- 36:08Speaker 1: it on Instagram, I was like, Okay, um, I guess
- 36:12Speaker 1: I will just edit a little bit. There's like fudget
- 36:15Speaker 1: a bit so that nobody has to actually see the
- 36:19Speaker 1: hurl anyway. Anyway, so sorry we got distracted, Yes we did.
- 36:25Speaker 1: I'll tell you guys what happened. And it was pretty rad.
- 36:27Speaker 1: So Michelle Young, who I really liked when I met
- 36:31Speaker 1: her in person, that was my first time meeting her
- 36:33Speaker 1: in person, was coming into jingle Ball. So at the
- 36:36Speaker 1: last second they emailed us and said, hey, would you
- 36:40Speaker 1: guys want Clayton to cup And obviously my response was like, um,
- 36:45Speaker 1: hell yes. So he wasn't allowed to do any interviews,
- 36:49Speaker 1: but he could come and like take photos because I think,
- 36:52Speaker 1: you know it's too early, He's not The show doesn't
- 36:55Speaker 1: from me until January three. Are you sure that they're
- 36:58Speaker 1: just not scared that we're going to be further convinced
- 37:00Speaker 1: he has no person? Because here's what I'll tell you.
- 37:03Speaker 1: So I was a full masayer, like I was like,
- 37:07Speaker 1: I don't know about this. I met him. So he
- 37:10Speaker 1: walked up and like he was so charming, and first
- 37:14Speaker 1: of all, he still had to have a mask on
- 37:16Speaker 1: and like so I couldn't even see his face yet,
- 37:19Speaker 1: and he was so charming, charming in the eyes. Here's
- 37:23Speaker 1: what he reminds me of Chris Souls meets Ben Higgins.
- 37:28Speaker 1: So he sort of has like the body type of Chris.
- 37:33Speaker 1: It's awesome. Like I'm telling you, guys, I was not
- 37:37Speaker 1: sold and now I'm like DVR set so yes, second
- 37:43Speaker 1: of all, he was We had all these protocols where
- 37:46Speaker 1: you have to be like tested and vaccinated all these things,
- 37:48Speaker 1: so he was allowed to take his mask off. So
- 37:51Speaker 1: then I saw the dreamy a smile, excellent teeth, Like
- 37:56Speaker 1: I'm telling you guys, the teeth and the smile was
- 38:01Speaker 1: it was just like sparkling, good personality. Like I only
- 38:04Speaker 1: got to talk to him for maybe, like I don't know,
- 38:06Speaker 1: it's probably ten minutes. But here's what I thought was
- 38:08Speaker 1: super interesting. And I was not being flirty because I'm
- 38:11Speaker 1: a hundred years older than him, but I remember touching him,
- 38:15Speaker 1: like I gave him like the pat on the arm
- 38:18Speaker 1: and like touched his like upper arm and lower arm,
- 38:21Speaker 1: which I'm like, why am I doing that? And it's
- 38:23Speaker 1: because he's so cool and charming. M hm, You've never
- 38:29Speaker 1: touched my arm yes, I'm sure I have. But he
- 38:34Speaker 1: has the personality of Ben Higgins the body type that's
- 38:37Speaker 1: that's very strong statement. No, he has the body type
- 38:42Speaker 1: of crystal thinner, but like very tall, like very good
- 38:47Speaker 1: west Burly, carries trees, strong like yes, like that guy
- 38:52Speaker 1: is gonna be on the lift up every single one
- 38:53Speaker 1: of those girls with one strong like Lumberjack, strong like
- 38:59Speaker 1: Mark Wahlberg, but tall. So so we should get behind
- 39:04Speaker 1: this now. I mean, we've never been a Clayton Hayter.
- 39:06Speaker 1: We just have been confused or like a little bit
- 39:10Speaker 1: off on how this was such an easy choice. I'm
- 39:13Speaker 1: telling you, guys, I was not. I was like, I
- 39:16Speaker 1: don't know, so like I'm not saying I was, Yeah,
- 39:20Speaker 1: this is the guy I was very I don't know,
- 39:23Speaker 1: And now I have totally done a one eight. I'm like,
- 39:28Speaker 1: this guy is the old school Bachelor that I loved,
- 39:32Speaker 1: Like reminds me of the ones like Bradwallmac Yes, but
- 39:39Speaker 1: better crystals like crystals meets Ben Higgins. Not as funny
- 39:45Speaker 1: as well, So I'm not gonna say well like not
- 39:47Speaker 1: ha ha, hilarious, charming like Ben kind there for the
- 39:53Speaker 1: right reasons. Dare I say so? Then I said, so,
- 39:56Speaker 1: I have heard that the season is very good, but
- 39:59Speaker 1: some as I hear that and I don't know if
- 40:01Speaker 1: it's actually true or if somebody's trying to trick me.
- 40:04Speaker 1: So we get excited. So I said, I heard the
- 40:07Speaker 1: season's really good, and he goes for me or for television,
- 40:11Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, that's that's promising for all
- 40:14Speaker 1: of them. So I felt, so here's what I'll say.
- 40:18Speaker 1: I'm going to watch, and i'd oh, my goodness, well
- 40:24Speaker 1: this changes things. We can usually trust Amy Sugarman on
- 40:28Speaker 1: her opinion because she gets a lot of inside scoop.
- 40:32Speaker 1: She gets to meet a lot of these people, so
- 40:33Speaker 1: we can usually trust her. There's never been a bachelor
- 40:36Speaker 1: I haven't met. Really, I've met every single bachelor from
- 40:41Speaker 1: the seventeen hundreds till now. And this guy definitely has
- 40:46Speaker 1: that thing. When he walks in the room, You're like, oh,
- 40:50Speaker 1: like very celebrity like star. You know they say like
- 40:53Speaker 1: they suck the air out of the room. Well, of
- 40:55Speaker 1: course I was outside with like eighteen mass on, but
- 40:58Speaker 1: at the same time, I was like, yeah, this guy's
- 41:01Speaker 1: got it. He had a twinkle in his eye and
- 41:03Speaker 1: his smile was so dreamy. Great smile. Well, here's what
- 41:07Speaker 1: I'm concerned about, because if you've met every bachelor since
- 41:13Speaker 1: and I'm the only one you've ever given a job,
- 41:16Speaker 1: I'm nervous that my job maybe up as of next year,
- 41:20Speaker 1: never never been. You can just like, actually have some babies, puppies,
- 41:29Speaker 1: please have kids at the same time. Well, actually, don't
- 41:34Speaker 1: do that. I don't know how we expedite this process. Amy,
- 41:36Speaker 1: thanks for coming on the almost famous podcast U which
- 41:42Speaker 1: really missing or texture. Okay, all right, well let's wrap
- 41:48Speaker 1: up in the last part of the tell All, which
- 41:51Speaker 1: is when Michelle arrives. She does her pleasantries with Rodney
- 41:56Speaker 1: and with Wreck and you know, just you guys are great,
- 42:01Speaker 1: like hope the best for you. The one she really
- 42:05Speaker 1: couldn't get behind was Jamie. She like she was like, no,
- 42:11Speaker 1: not letting Jamie get away with this. Um, it's just yeah.
- 42:17Speaker 1: She put her foot down. She said, no, this isn't okay.
- 42:19Speaker 1: Like you know, as we're talked about earlier that the
- 42:21Speaker 1: explaining part was really what shid, No, this is this
- 42:24Speaker 1: is not happening. We do have to because I know
- 42:27Speaker 1: we're closing up this segment. We do have a couple
- 42:29Speaker 1: just final notes here. Um, one. We do see the
- 42:32Speaker 1: sneak peak for the rest of the season. Uh, nothing
- 42:35Speaker 1: shocking there. The shocking part of the episode, the weird
- 42:38Speaker 1: maybe the weirdest part of the episode when I'm happy
- 42:41Speaker 1: about is Peter brings out pizza for everybody in the
- 42:44Speaker 1: cast and for the host and Michelle, who you know,
- 42:48Speaker 1: just as you said, Michelle was absolutely awesome during this
- 42:50Speaker 1: whole episode. She was just their first short period of time,
- 42:53Speaker 1: but she looked beautiful. She handled herself well as she
- 42:55Speaker 1: has the whole season. But the pizza comes out, they
- 42:57Speaker 1: have a body to pizza and then all of a sudden,
- 42:59Speaker 1: Will and Peter are good friends friends. They hugged. What happened?
- 43:05Speaker 1: You know, look at what the power of pizza can do. Yes,
- 43:09Speaker 1: I mean that was sweet. It was sweet and and
- 43:13Speaker 1: and what I mean, come on, Peter just got a
- 43:16Speaker 1: commercial pretty much on ABC Prime Time for his pizza restaurant.
- 43:20Speaker 1: I mean, who really won in this process? Oh, Peter
- 43:25Speaker 1: definitely one. Michelle said that it was. She said it
- 43:30Speaker 1: was good pizza too, So I mean I was wondering
- 43:32Speaker 1: how it lasted a cross country I was like, is
- 43:34Speaker 1: it really good? Right now? Does the dry eyes can
- 43:37Speaker 1: do ash well? Hey, um, we're gonna take a break here.
- 43:40Speaker 1: When we come back, we are going to do bachelor headlines. Yes,
- 43:54Speaker 1: it is time for bachelor headlines with our resident expert,
- 43:57Speaker 1: Ashley I connedtie well. A lot of these headlines are
- 43:59Speaker 1: around holding underwood, so we're gonna highlight a few of them.
- 44:01Speaker 1: The first one is this, um, well, before we get
- 44:04Speaker 1: into it, actually, have you seen Colton's documentary? I did.
- 44:08Speaker 1: I watched it all. I watched it all pretty fast.
- 44:10Speaker 1: It's only three hours. Um, I really I enjoyed it.
- 44:14Speaker 1: I think it was really good storytelling. There's a lot
- 44:18Speaker 1: of depth, there's some good messages in there. Um. The
- 44:22Speaker 1: one about the episode about Faith was very interesting and
- 44:26Speaker 1: how he has navigated being a Christian while also admitting
- 44:31Speaker 1: to himself that he's gay. And then I also found
- 44:35Speaker 1: the episode where these guys were trying to like kind
- 44:39Speaker 1: of integrate him into the gay community and he just
- 44:43Speaker 1: was like uncomfortable with jumping in like that. So I
- 44:49Speaker 1: would I would definitely say give it a chance, to
- 44:52Speaker 1: definitely say, like, you know, watch it if it's not
- 44:55Speaker 1: your cup of tea whatever, But like I if I
- 44:58Speaker 1: was good. I haven't watched it, but but there are.
- 45:00Speaker 1: There's a few things I understand people having issues with. Okay,
- 45:04Speaker 1: first off, like we have to say, like I want
- 45:06Speaker 1: to say every time, nothing excuses what he did with
- 45:10Speaker 1: this treatment of Cassie, and he acknowledges this in the docuseries.
- 45:16Speaker 1: He also brings up Cassie a lot, and that kind
- 45:19Speaker 1: of brings us to our first headline, Cassie doesn't really
- 45:23Speaker 1: like this very much. No, it doesn't. Well, I haven't
- 45:25Speaker 1: seen it. Um. You know, Colton came out this week
- 45:29Speaker 1: and said that nobody from Batch Nation reached out to
- 45:31Speaker 1: him kind of after coming out, and that's just not true.
- 45:34Speaker 1: So look kind of erupted my gut a little bit
- 45:37Speaker 1: because I know you're kind of like, oh, well, I
- 45:39Speaker 1: don't want to watch it now, Yeah kind of. I
- 45:41Speaker 1: mean maybe that's pride, maybe that's I need to get
- 45:43Speaker 1: over that, and maybe I will. But you know, I
- 45:45Speaker 1: know of multiple people that did, including myself, um, including
- 45:49Speaker 1: friends of mine that reached out to him. So I
- 45:51Speaker 1: don't know why he's saying that, Like, I just don't
- 45:53Speaker 1: get it, and I don't know if that's a good headline.
- 45:56Speaker 1: I don't know if it makes the rest of us
- 45:57Speaker 1: look unsupportive or what said. He said, Chris Harrison was
- 46:01Speaker 1: the only one who reached out, and I knew that
- 46:03Speaker 1: you had, and I had a couple other names in
- 46:06Speaker 1: mind that probably did as well. I mean I sent
- 46:09Speaker 1: him a book about like how you navigate, like from
- 46:11Speaker 1: buddy of mine, about how you navigate being a Christian
- 46:15Speaker 1: and coming out. So, like, I just don't understand this
- 46:18Speaker 1: stuff sometimes, Like it's like, are you just trying to
- 46:20Speaker 1: make everybody else look bad and for people to feel bad?
- 46:23Speaker 1: Because like COOLM I know people who did, including myself,
- 46:27Speaker 1: and so that's just a lie, Like it is you
- 46:29Speaker 1: live so close together too. Yeah, I mean, so I
- 46:32Speaker 1: don't understand that. But I haven't watched it yet. Here's
- 46:35Speaker 1: the first headline. Cassie Randolph thinks it's inappropriate for Cool
- 46:38Speaker 1: and Underwood to speak out about their relationship. This according
- 46:41Speaker 1: to Eat. Before I read the headline, I do want
- 46:44Speaker 1: to say there was one lingering question I left the
- 46:46Speaker 1: series questioning after I was done watching the series, and
- 46:52Speaker 1: that is why didn't he reach out to Cassie and
- 46:58Speaker 1: say I'm gay for before coming out publicly? Because there's
- 47:03Speaker 1: this scene in it where they like, he and his
- 47:06Speaker 1: friend and his dad debate whether or not Cassie is
- 47:09Speaker 1: going to reach out the day of the g m
- 47:12Speaker 1: A the g m A interview, and Colton and his
- 47:16Speaker 1: dad don't think so. But I'm just like, why didn't
- 47:22Speaker 1: you reach out to her before this? That's crazy? He
- 47:26Speaker 1: does allude to him not being able to speak about
- 47:29Speaker 1: certain things publicly and maybe because of legal issues he
- 47:34Speaker 1: can't even reach out to Cassie herself. But I don't know,
- 47:38Speaker 1: but this is what Cassie says. Um Or sources say
- 47:42Speaker 1: that Cassie feels um. She doesn't love that her name
- 47:47Speaker 1: keeps being brought up. This is a source exclusively told
- 47:51Speaker 1: E this. She has definitely moved on from that time
- 47:54Speaker 1: of her life. She thinks that it's inappropriate that Colton
- 47:57Speaker 1: has continued continuously spoken about there were ship, but understands
- 48:01Speaker 1: it's part of his journey. She um, she went through
- 48:06Speaker 1: a lot, They went through a lot together, and she
- 48:08Speaker 1: prefers not to talk about that chapter and to keep
- 48:11Speaker 1: moving forward in her life. She's really happy right now
- 48:14Speaker 1: and is in a healthy relationship with Cassie. Has not
- 48:16Speaker 1: spoken to Coltman in a very long time and they
- 48:18Speaker 1: do not have a friendship. Yeah. Well, um, you know,
- 48:22Speaker 1: there's there's Obviously Cassie is affected by all this and
- 48:26Speaker 1: she is definitely entitled to that opinion. Well. Uh, next
- 48:30Speaker 1: simeline is Colton Underwood goes Instagram official with boyfriend Jordan's
- 48:33Speaker 1: c Brown to celebrate his birthday. Disaccined to e yes.
- 48:38Speaker 1: So he is, um a political consultant. We've talked about
- 48:41Speaker 1: this before when they were spotted in Hawaii a couple
- 48:43Speaker 1: of months ago. Um, this is his boyfriend Jordan, who
- 48:47Speaker 1: seems that he's been with for at least a couple
- 48:50Speaker 1: of months now. They say that they're in love and
- 48:52Speaker 1: they're very happy. And on his birthday Colton did on
- 48:57Speaker 1: his story he said this happy birthday to my dog
- 49:00Speaker 1: loving family man cornfed love in another photo and then
- 49:07Speaker 1: um the two of them with the dogs another photo
- 49:11Speaker 1: and um, recently Colton has said that they're very happy
- 49:16Speaker 1: and very in love and uh yeah again have been
- 49:19Speaker 1: together for several months now. Well, moving on from Colton,
- 49:23Speaker 1: we do have a headline that hurts all of us here.
- 49:27Speaker 1: It's the sad thing Dean Angler and Klin Moren their
- 49:32Speaker 1: dog Pappy, hardest day of their lives. We know Pappy, well,
- 49:36Speaker 1: we loved Pappy. A Ton happy, was the sweetest. We
- 49:41Speaker 1: got to hang out with him on multiple um like
- 49:44Speaker 1: sleepover occasions. Uh. Caitlin was talking to me at your
- 49:48Speaker 1: wedding about how she felt like she didn't that she
- 49:50Speaker 1: felt like she didn't have much more time with Pappy.
- 49:54Speaker 1: They did. They were told when they first adopted him
- 49:58Speaker 1: two and two over two years ago that he probably
- 50:02Speaker 1: only had a year at best, but he got two
- 50:06Speaker 1: years with them, And they wrote on Instagram today our
- 50:09Speaker 1: sweet little man left our earth. He took his final
- 50:11Speaker 1: breaths in the arms of his loving mother. Um. We
- 50:16Speaker 1: weren't there for the beginning or the middle of his life,
- 50:18Speaker 1: but we were there for what we believe to be
- 50:21Speaker 1: the most important part, the end. And he was just
- 50:24Speaker 1: treated so amazingly. They were the best dog parents that
- 50:28Speaker 1: that boy was showered with love and adventure. We love
- 50:33Speaker 1: pa care. Yeah. Well, um, that's tough, that's really hard. Well,
- 50:39Speaker 1: um onto then switching gears is a hard transition, but
- 50:43Speaker 1: it's onto something really exciting. Somebody that was on our
