  Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: It's almost famous podcast. Ashley and I are here today
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: with you. We've been asking all of Bachelor nation about
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: what are the moments that are iconic to them from
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: the show and that they'll never forget. Well, we've asked
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: so many other people, it's time for us to answer this, Ashley,
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: what moments? Yeah? Will you never forget? As a viewer?
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: So I'm talking you're not on the show, you're viewing it.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Or I would actually say this, you could have been
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: on this season and just been an a spectator in
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: the house, yes, or in paradise while this was happening.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: Okay, sounds good. I will keep that in mind going
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: through these picks.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: No, that's my first question.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Oh okay, all right, your first question is the one
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: that stands out in my mind that you were not
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: a part of, but that you were I were not
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: a part of. That would be I think, because so
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: many people have named this as one of their most memorable,
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: it has to be Hannah Brown moving the podium away
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: from what's his name? And then I also really think
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: about her saying that we left in a windmill four
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: times like that may be the I think that is
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: the quote of the franchise, Like that is the one
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: that stands out to.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: Me the most.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: Maybe I'm being self obsessed and thinking that the second
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: most memorable line in the franchise. Maybe when Kelsey looked
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: at me and said, I know what you did. Do
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: you have any memorable lines that are coming to you
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: besides those two?
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: I think it's Chris Harrison yelling he jumped.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, that's funny. See that's more of a
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: scene than like a statement. In my head, that been
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: that as a viewer was one of the.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: Most memorable moments.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Also one that I think abso freakinglutely lived up to
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: the Tea's. Everybody was concerned that that wasn't gonna live up,
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: but it certainly did, if not even better than it
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: was because he wasn't running after a girl. He was
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: running from production, which made it so good.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: So good.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: Let's see other memorable moments.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: No, you just have to have one.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: We're just doing one.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Okay, well I kind of yeah, but if I have
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: to choose one, the fence jump. Yeah, yeah, I'll go
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: with the fence jump. That's my favorite. That was one
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: of my favorable shock moments of all time.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: What about you.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: As a viewer, I'll never forget sitting in the Bachelor
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Mansion on Night one, watching and I forget his name
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: at this point, call Chris Harrison Chris Hansen because he
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: was so intoxicated and.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Sitting next to your husband.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I was sitting next to Jared on the couch, and
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: I remember that, I'll never forget that feeling of what
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: in the world and are we watching? And like this
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: is gonna be on television one day and we get
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: a front row seat and it kind of was like us.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: It was in the back of my mind the whole time,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: was I have a front row seat at some of
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: this like madness and nobody's gonna believe it. Nobody's gonna
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: believe it.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: So I would also, but that's your most as a viewer.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: That seems to be like the one that you're involved in.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Okay, as a viewer of a television show, then I would.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: I had the most emotional reaction to Rachel Lindsay and
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Peter Krause sitting down having their last conversation.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: That is a really really good one. Uh what about switcheroos?
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Not to like add more in there. But our switcheroo,
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: I feel like was teased too much for me that
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: I knew it was coming. And then Jason Mesnix I
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: didn't really watch. I will always say that I was
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: flabberg acid by Devin's behavior with Jen anything any other
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: like endings that were just absolutely mind blowing.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Devin and Jin gave me the most like visceral, like
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: I hate every second of this exactly.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Other ones.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: The other ones were like shocking out of love right,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: but like no love. Yeah, I would also, I mean
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: you have to throw in the like Rachel Rekia and
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Tino when she showed it to the house. Yeah, and
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: he couldn't explain himself and it backfired badly. You know
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: some of those moments, what moments will you never forget
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: from your time on the show. So any season that
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: you were a part of, what moment when you think
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: of this represents my time on the show.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Well, I think definitely me in the bad Lands with Kelsey,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: and then secondly, I think the one that most people
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: would think of besides that was probably Nick telling me
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: that I would never be with Jared. People remind me
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: of that all the time. Why why did he say
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: that to you, Well, he was trying to be a
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: good friend, and he was treating me in a way
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: that like he wanted me to know that I wasn't
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: going to be the exception to the rule. If we're
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: playing by you know, the rom Com standard, and for
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: pretty much most of people out there, you know, like
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: I would say ninety percent, it's probably best to lead
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: your friend in that direction to avoid them getting further hurt. Obviously,
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: like this was just I was the exception to the
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: rule and it just didn't apply. As you were cool
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: that the story ended up that way, but I know
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: that he was like trying to get me to let
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: go m I don't think he was being malicious, but
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: you know, with most friends, they would be a little
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: bit more gentle about it. But it was definitely the
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: tough love approach, which oftentimes I don't respond to the
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: best and I obviously didn't listen.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: So you are the exception, Ashley. From my time on
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: the show, I kind of mentioned it. I have a
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: lot more memories that stand out to me when I
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: was on The Bachelorette that I do the Bachelor. The
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Bachelor was kind of a mode of like survival and
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: I felt like it was trying to like solve the
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: problems one step at a time, And so these huge
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: like moments never felt big to me because I always
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: tried to like take a deep breath and walk through them.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Viewers might have a different perspective. I do remember Jojo
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: locking herself in the bathroom, and I'll never forget the
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: feeling of my goodness. This went from like a nice,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: easy process to now this is the kind of was like,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: this is no longer a TV show. Like somebody's very
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: hurt and I don't know what to say, and I
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: feel like I'm losing my wits and I'm losing any
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: ability to like converse or to navigate because there was
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: no solution. It was going to end in some type
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: of hurt and I didn't know how to I was
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: not good at handling that. So that was a big moment.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: But on the Bachelorette, there was just so many moments
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: that people were doing ridiculous thing like things like Josh
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Alberts getting his haircut by Caitlin and they gave her
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: dull clippers. I'll never forget him. Come up, Oh my god,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: I remember that now, Yeah, coming he came back from
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: like their little one on one session and his head
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: was just chunked out with hair because the clippers were
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: dull and it was just yanking his hair out. I'll
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: never forget all of us, like standing in the middle
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: of Metz Stadium for a rose ceremony when it was
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: like five degrees outside and we were freezing cold, and
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: they didn't seem to want to hurry it along.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're bringing up cute moments that you remember from
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: being on the show that.
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: Aren't memorable necessarily to the whole.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: Bang, So I want to go through with mine, but
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: go ahead, finish yours. No, that's it, you go ahead. Yeah. No,
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: I just wanted to say when we went camping with Crystals,
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: I have to add that is to one of the
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: most memorable experiences. I had never gotten camping in my life.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Then there I am doing on TV trying to impress
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: a guy. It was hilarious.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: And then just.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Like I think about being in South Dakota with the
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: girls a lot. It is funny that you and I
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: both think more about the show that we just had
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: fun on and the less serious because obviously The Bachelor
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: was a serious time for you and Paradise was a
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: serious time for me too, Ashley.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: When fans see you, what moment do they bring up
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: the most to you?
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: They bring up the Nick moment, and then they bring.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: Up the the Kelsey and the Batlands moment, and then
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: they just say in general, I'm so glad he came around.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: I'm so glad he was, you know, so slow to
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: do it. And I was like, come on, dude, Jared
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: loves that. He loves hearing that every single time.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: I'm sure he does. I'm sure he does.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: Some people aren't fun, fine and nice about it, and
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: some people are kind of dicky about it.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well they were mad at Jared for a long time.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: I haven't gotten over that yet, even though you have
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: two kids in a marriage.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: He's like, you guys have been married for six years now. Yeah,
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: he came around. I didn't even think about it anymore.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: But I appreciate that you guys do give it so
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: much thought. For sure, thank you.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: I mean again, for me, it's a lot of bachelorette moments.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: It's usually my sex ed date. People will still talk
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: about that.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: That as I do all the time.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it was a fun day for me. I
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: remember being so nervous and having that feeling of okay,
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: I did okay. And then a lot of people bring
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: up the Green Hall date that Caitlin and I had.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: I think it was my first one on one and
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: I think the reason that they relate to that so
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: much is because it was a day and there was
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: very few out of you know, seventy plus days of
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: filming between The Bachelor and the time I was on
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: the Bachelorette that I felt like I could just be myself,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: like where there was no like regard for the cameras
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: or how things would come off. It was just the
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: perfectly fun date for me.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: What was it.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: We went to the dance hall and like outside of
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: San Antonio, and it was we like had a big day,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: a dancing day. We learned a line dance, and then
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: there was an old veteran there who kind of gave
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: us some wisdom and advice. Oh yeah, it was really
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: it was just like a fun day. And so they'll
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: bring that up a lot every once in a while
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: when like my buddies though, bring up the boxing date
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: with when I got knocked out by Jared. Quite often
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: in my life they bring that up, which is good
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: and healthy for me. I remember it because the my
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: contact flew out and I really didn't have any extra
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: payers and so as soon as I got off The Bachelor,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: I got Lasik surgery, so I didn't have to deal
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: with that again.
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: Great.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: Great, those are great memories, except for, you know, getting
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: punched up by don't Bill Jared end up going to
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: to the hospital. So hey, Jared, what's your most memorable
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: moment from the show. It goes proposing to you to
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: which that should be my most memorable moment, right it
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: wasn't in your top five, Jared. The only reason that
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: I don't think about that moment a lot is because, well, one,
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: I feel like they ruined it in the actual episode.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: In the context of the episode, I really really was
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: mad about that. And then it's like such a blur.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: It's just such a blur.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Proposing is a blur.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: No proposing, I know, is a blur. Being proposed to
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: is also a blur. So when I think about it,
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: I don't even think about me being in the moment.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: I actually think about what it looked like from a
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: third party's perspective, because it was on TV.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: I don't remember proposing to Jessica at all. I mean,
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: I remember like a little bit of it leading up
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: and like the walk that we did, but I don't
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: remember anything about like the actual moment. It was such
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: a nerve wracking experience. Yeah.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: Actually, I think so much more about the moment that
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: I saw Jared for the first time and that first
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: day in Paradise that is far.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: More of an It had far more of an impact
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: on me.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: Jared just said from behind the scenes, he said that
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Night one stands out to him as a big memory.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: I would also agree that my night one too, And then.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: Ben already said his Night one on Bachelorette, Yeah, because
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: he was terrified.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: But I think for me, when I think of Jared,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: I think there's some iconic moments in the franchise, and
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: it could have just been me as an experiencer of this.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: But I always like liked Jared as a human, nice guy.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: He is very intelligent, He was funny, He was a
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: calming presence for me during the show. But he was
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: never this like threatening quite honestly, this threat when it
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: came to who was going to end up with Caitlyn
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: at the end. Yeah, until New York City when he
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: had his glam makeover and he walked in and I
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: was like, goodness, dude, like what happened? And I think
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: that's a very memorable moment for me because he went
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: from like, hey, he's a buddy, he's a friend. Don't
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: know if he's gonna be with Caitlyn too. This dude
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: is like a GQ model walking back into our house.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: What just happened?
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: We were just making fun of him.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: We got a whole bunch of friends down in Orlando
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: and we were talking about the way that he looked
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: on the first season with that haircut, and I was like, Babe,
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: if you didn't have that haircut and you like had
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: the barber that you have today, you like.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: May have won.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: So thank goodness for the haircut you had.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: You won.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: It just no well things, you know, I mean, he
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: would have won then before you remember me.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Well, hey, God has big plans, and he had a
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: big plan for you and.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: You and me. And I will say that, like you,
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: you're always so complimentary of Jared and how he comes
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: across and how he did early on and how he
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: was very comforting to you.
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: And I have to say that.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: Between you and Jared, like you guys are the only
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: people I really know that just nobody dislikes you, like
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: I've never met somebody that was like, oh, that Jared
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: doesn't rob me the right way.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Jared's impossible to dislike. I mean, he showed up tonight
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: one in a Superman T shirt. How can you hate
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: a guy that literally wears a comic book on his
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: chest to a mansion on TV?
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Well, that wasn't exactly his idea. I think that's a
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: great idea, though it was great. Forget it was love Man.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Not so oh love Man. That's right, I forget. That's
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: so cheesy.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, so cheesy. Oh that's what I mean. Yeah, Ashley.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: In closing up this episode, obviously we asked a lot
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: of Bachelor Nation. Make sure you listen to that because
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: it's really fun to hear what moments stand out to
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: everybody else. Is there any I'm gonna switch this question
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: a little bit from what we asked everybody else? Is
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: there any like memes videos scenes from the show that
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: people send you online that make you squirm like you
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: don't like to see them?
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: All of Bachelor in Paradise season three? Yeah, any any
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: nobody sends me these videos? But if I were like, look,
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: myself up that I would see them and it would
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: probably be like me, like just attacking crystals physically. Yeah,
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: that's what I just can't can't deal with seeing No,
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: what about you there?
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: There isn't a ton from the Bachelor Bachelorette. I'd see
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: the one that rex me is Winter Games when Chris
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Harrison sat me down and like, yeah, I sobbed. There
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: was just a lot behind the scenes of that that
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: I was frustrated with when it came to why I
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: was actually there at Winter Games and what the agreement
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: was for me to be there and how I kind
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: of felt stuck. And then I also enjoyed many pieces
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: of that because of you and Dean and some others
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: getting to know Courtney through that. But that was just
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: a really like I hate watching that because I was
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: at one of my lowest points and the show took
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: advantage of it, and I felt like that was the
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: first time they had really produced me in a way
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: that made my own emotions kind of they used my
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: own emotions against me and they knew it and it
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: was clear from the very beginning, and I was really frustrated.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: So that just is raw for me still.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: Okay, So now that you bring that up. I feel
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: like I haven't even included that chapter in any of
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: this consideration, and I think that's because I almost disassociate
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: that season for us. It's funny because it was only
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: ten days, so it's like the shortest thing.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: Ever.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: I feel like with Paradise season three, my frustration comes
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: about it because of a lot of like the editing choices,
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: which you know how we feel about. Sometimes I can
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: understand people can plain about editing and sometimes I can't,
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: depends on what it is.
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: But to me, that was still me. I was still me.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: Winter Games was just a weird chapter of life. It
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: was definitely like a stepping stone, and I'm appreciative of
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: the stepping stone, but I never think about it.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think about it often because it was
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: It was something that should have been really fun. You
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: were there, which I was super excited to do it
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: with you. I just I didn't know I was going in.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: I didn't agree to go in as a contestant. I
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: went in and to be there as a support system
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: for my friends, and it quickly turned against me, and
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: as a result, I was like I was an outsider
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: by fault because I didn't want to date. I didn't
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: want to be stuck in a house. I was just
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: not in a good place. And so I remember it
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: because it was kind of my moment of wake up Ben,
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: like you need to heal.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: A little bit.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: And then also there was some brilliance to it too,
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: where I got to meet Yuki and I had.
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: The relationship with the Yuki.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: It was so fun. It was like she was like
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: my safe space because there was no like romantic connection,
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: so we could just kick it and hang out and
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: have a lot of fun together. And I had no
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: issue with that. But it got weird. That whole show
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: got a little weird. Anyways, this is our reminiscing breakdown.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: I just I really do appreciate what he games for
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: what it was. It is just very strange of me
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: to look back on pictures of that. That's to answer
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: your question. You and I both feel very weird about that,
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: but like not in a bad way. I'm so glad
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: I did it.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: So glad I did it.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: I did it so glad you were there.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, Yeah, I'm not mad I did it.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: I just I thought Ben and I thought Dian and
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: I were going to give each other friendship roses the
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: entire time cuckood friendship roses.
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: At the time, I did not just want to be
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: friends with.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: What are you talking off your bunch of rose?
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, Ashley, see us, we do have great memories in
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: great moments.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: It's fun to look back on some of this.
