• 2:24
  Speaker 1: was so good, so good, I'm presidented. It's it's a
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: lot of process. Here's how we're gonna do this thought.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Pete is going to be coming into studio here in
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: a little bit. Before he gets in, actually, I'm going
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: to break down this episode and what we feel and
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: what we think about it. But before we do, there's
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: some massive things going on in Bachelor Nation that we
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: have to talk about. Yeah, and we haven't been here
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: for two weeks, so we have to catch up on that.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: It's been too long. So actually, before we break down
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: the Bachelor news that is happening in the last two weeks,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: let's take a break here from our sponsors and come
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: back ready to go. Alright, guys itan Bachelor news. About
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: a week or so ago, Courtney Robertson came out an
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: announced on Instagram that she's engaged in expecting her first
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: child with fiance Humberto Prissa Precidio. I really like his name.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm pronouncing it a beautiful, but
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: its beautiful. I'm so happy for her. We've had her
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: on the show before. She's the sweetest she I know.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: People who just saw her on bed for next season.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: It's like, she's the sweetest. No, She's truly a very
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: kind woman, and I know how badly she wanted to
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: have a family of her own, and I'm really happy
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: it's coming together for her now. Then we also had
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Dean's skiing accident, which happened over the Christmas break. I
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: know that Dean did an episode of Help by Second
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Dating where he kind of broke down exactly what happened
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: and his recovery that he has to go through in Europe.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: It's this is a wild one. Actually, these two news
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: stories are not small, right. I mean, as we talked about,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Corty Robertson came on our podcast during our season because
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: she was friends with Ari and so she talked a
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: lot about kind of their relationship. And then Dean, Dean,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: this is a major accident. And I don't know about you,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: but I was home in Indiana for the holidays. My
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: mom and I were on Instagram like scrolling through together,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: and this Dean's story that pops up, and it's excruciating,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Like it's hard to watch because he's laying in this story. Yeah,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: it's he's laying in the snow looking up at the
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: sky and at the time you're like, ha ha, Dean
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: kind of felt like he's not that hurt to come
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: to find out that his whole hip was dislocated as
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: a leg was broken. Can you believe how calm he was.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: He's just like, oh, look, there are some birds that
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: are going to feast on my dead body. When when somebody,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: you know, when I'm not gonna get I he's choking
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: and like he wasn't crying. He's just laying in snow
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: in what I imagine is just utter pain. I can't believe.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I think, like what he said on his Instagram story
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: was that he called for help and then they didn't
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: really make it seem like it was that urgent. And
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: then after an hour of lying there, somebody skied right
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: by him, and then he went to go get help
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: and he finally got somebody. But I don't think he
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: was attended to for like an hour and a half
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: after he fell. It's I mean, like now it really
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: does make sense of why he thought maybe he was
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: going to die. Things are bad, I mean matter Dean
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: is a daredevil m He pushes me to my limits
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: anytime we hang out. The guy really has um just
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: a massive adrenaline. I don't know what you call it.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: He's adournaline junkie and the guy just loves kind of
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: risking it. Here's a sad part about this story, and
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: then we can move on. I think Dean's days of
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: being a daredevil might be coming to an end. He's
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: not getting younger, and this doesn't help. I don't think
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: he's going to be able to write. I mean, doesn't
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: A dislocated hip and a broken famer like kind of
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: stay with you forever, like you may never be again.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I don't. I doubt you'll ever be again. We feel free.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Dam we loved Dean, UM, love Courtney somebody we don't
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: know well. I don't think he's ever been on the podcast. Um.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: He's kind of gone off and done a couple of
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: these other shows. He pops up in the news every
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: once in a while in some controversy. Ashley Robbie Hayes
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: is now on cs Q. Yeah, so I haven't watched
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: cs A key, I'll be honest. I know that he
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: is dating the scool name Juliet on it, and that
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: his sex tape with one of the a it was
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: a surveillance camera. It wasn't a real sex tape. It
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: becomes part of the drama on cst Q, I believe. Anyway,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Robbie is on CSQ on MTV. Do you guys wat
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: check that out? Listeners. I gotta get your perspective here,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: because shows a show. We get it. The Bachelor feels, um,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: it feels fine to do like I would recommend my
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: friends doing it and my loved ones doing because it
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: can work or there's a lot of self growth through it.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: What do you all think about a Bachelor contestant or
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: any of these continuing to go on these reality shows?
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Is it something that we just should celebrate? Is it
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: something we go ad this? This feels weird? Um? Either way,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Robbie Hayes is on cs T key if you want
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: to watch him, tune in. If not, I'm not going
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: to be doing it. Yeah this next story. Actually have
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: a lot of questions for you on so please, uh
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: let the listeners know what's going on. But I have
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: a lot of questions for you. I don't think I
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: have many answers, but I have further speculation. Go for it. So,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Caitlin Bristow says publicly and I quote, so why I
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: have bitter feelings towards one person from the Bachelor out
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: of hundreds, I will choose to love the hundreds of
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: others who changed my life, she wrote on Monday. I
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: will try to remember the positive experiences. Ashley. Two things
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: for you. Where is this coming from? And who is
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: that one person? Is it Sean or is it somebody else?
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: I gotta think that it's Sean. And if it's not Sean,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: then I feel like it might be a producer, somebody
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: behind the scenes. But I think it has to be Sean, right.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: I just think it's where that she even like brought
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: it up, because I think we're actually at the point
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: where people are associating Caitlin more with Jason than Caitlin
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: with Sean, and she still meant him through the Bachelor process.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: So I don't know why she would even bring it up.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: But is this in an interview with with the Entertainment?
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: What was interesting was that this was on her Instagram story.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: That was on her Instagram was her Instagram caption, So
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: like she brought it up on her own, unless like
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: something that we don't know spurred it on. Here's the
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: here's the part about this that I kind of was
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: shook by because my mind immediately and I'm sure to
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: listeners out there as well. When I read this, my
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: mind immediately went to Nick, like, oh, she's talking about Nick.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: She has bitter feelings towards Nick. Nick was but now
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: they've healed things. She came onto the podcast, he came
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: on her as they did a little switcherru thing they're
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: good now. So it's not Nick, it's not me. I
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: don't think, Um, you know, it must it has to
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: be Sean or maybe there's a few that we just
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: don't know about. Either way, Um. She did make a
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: public statement on her Instagram and that yes, uh is
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: news hey one. A couple of other things here bats
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Our Nation's Blake Hortsman's manage sword surgery after a crazy
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: person randomly punches him. Crazy person in quotes because that's
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: what Blake said. He said he was standing in New
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: York City. Somebody randomly punched him in the face. For people.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Here's my thoughts here, How in the world does one
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: person get four good punches in on four different people? Um,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know, that's really weird, but I thought the
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: same thing like boom boom boom, and then runs away.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: If my buddy is getting pounded in the face. You
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: better boom leave that. I'm not letting him pound myself,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: my buddy, and another buddy before we let him go. Yeah,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: this would be a strong rock type person, crazy person
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: quote quote. The last piece of Bachelor news we have
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: until we dig into the episode, because I know that's
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: what you guys want the most, is that he recently
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: did a tally of sorts of the Bachelor alums favorite
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Bachelor and our winner was ours truly, Ben, Ben, you
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: are the favorite Bachelor of all time when when tallied
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: up amongst the participating bachelor alone. Yeah, well it's sweet,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: it is. I mean, there's been some awesome ones. I
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: was thinking about that. Here's a funny part Ashley about this.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Um I tipped. I mean I was asked for my
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: favorite Bachelor. I I love Nick Vile, Um, I love souls.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: I love these recent guys, and I'm buddies with their
• 10:55

  Speaker 1: love Andrew Fireston and Bob getting did for me personally

  Speaker 1: as they gave me like kind of mentored me along
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: the way. And now guys come to you to be mentor.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: I actually, yeah, I just saw Peter at the NBC
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: building before he's coming in here, and he was talking
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: about you for a second, and I was like, oh, yeah,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: nobody does the Bachelor anymore without talking to mentor Bend first. Well,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: and here's what's cool about it. Actually, I really do
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: believe this. I don't these things don't typically kind of
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: like shrug off my shoulders or I get a little
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: like embarrassed. You know, you just feel like this is whatever.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: I read these and I read what people are saying
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: about me, and I'm sitting in Nashville at Jessica's house,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: and I start to tear up because here's some things
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: that people said, Like they said, Hey, when he looks
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: at you, you like, I know he cares. And if
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: I can do that in my life and if that's
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: how people are seeing me, like it's almost as a
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: sense of like like wow, Ben, like you are doing this,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: like you are like people like you do love people. Well,
• 11:59

• 12:51
  Speaker 1: down this episode and then we'll bring the man himself
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: right onto the episode. And I'm pumped for it. So
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: before we bring Pilot Pete on, because it's gonna be happening, listeners,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: hold tight, buckle up, you're gonna all this ridiculous. Hey,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Pilot Pete's coming on the episode, but before he does,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Ashley and I want to give our thoughts on last
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: night's opening night. I'll start Okay, I think the women
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: are going to be terrific this season. They're beautiful. I
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: think Pilot Pete today a great job. I thought he
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: was goofy, I thought he was awkward, I thought he
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: was weird. I thought he was smiley, And I think
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: that's all we want and a bachelor, because really you
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: could tell he wasn't trying to be impressive. He was
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: just trying to be the best version of himself possible.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: The second, UM, thing I just talked about was the women.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: The women were awesome last night, like engaged, they were passionate. Uh,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: they tried hard, they were bold, and they were beautiful.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: The bold and the beautiful. It's how I describe Peter's
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: women actually from there. What were your takeaways initially? Um,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: I have four girls that stood out to me, one
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: being Hannah Brown. How did you feel about her coming
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: back and doing it in this moment, like in this
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: way she's she's telling Peter about how she's feeling. And
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: I I am always going to be a fan of
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: just like getting it off your chest and even even
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: if like the ideal time to do it has passed.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: So I know a lot of people are on the
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: internet being like, Hannah, you had chance after chance, get
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: off my TV screen, blah blah blah. And I can
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: understand where they're coming from, but in this moment, I
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: feel like you just have to get it out there.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: You have to get out there. Do you think it
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: was selfish of her to come back right now? No?
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's selfish. So my thought is, I
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: don't There's so much to this. I don't want to know,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: and we can only really talk to Hannah about it.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: I two theories about what happened the show, and the
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: producers knew that Hannah still probably had strong feelings for Peter,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: and they knew that if she showed up and saw
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: him face to face, she might be interested in pursuing
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: something more. So here's my thought, and it's always been
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: this towards the show, is if you're in love, and
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: if we're trying to pursue a life, lifetime lasting love,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: like there is no boundaries to that. There there is
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: no like easy, straightforward way. If she feels like she
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: loves him and that there's a chance that he could
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: love her back and that they could be happy together forever,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: no matter what the history was, then come on to
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: the season, because ultimately, if this ends with him picking
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: his second choice and Hannah was his first, that's gonna
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: be a sad moment for him and the woman he chooses.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: So no, not selfish, but I want to know. Listeners
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: please emails at Ben and Ashley at I heart media
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: dot com or on Twitter hashtag almost from his podcast.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: I think Hannah had no clue why or what she
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: was showing up for until she saw Peter face to face,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: and at that moment she realized that she was in
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: deep I think the first time she came out of
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: the limo, she thought, who uh, I feel jealous, right,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: And then I think the second time she was like,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna be here, I'm gonna exert my dominance,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Like I bet you he still wants me more than
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: anyone else here, which is probably true because he knows
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: her the most there. And then um when it was
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: time to leave, and I think she was like, oh, wow,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: this is really it. This is this is gonna be
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: the end of us. That's this. If I don't say
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: something now, then I may never have my chance with
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Peter and it may be the biggest regret of my life.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: And You guys know I've said at a zillion times
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: on this show, but I'm a big fan of not
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: leaving any what ifs. I think that everybody should eliminate
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: as many ways to never look back and think, I
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: wonder what would have happened if And I think that
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: was her eliminating that. We don't even know how the
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: conversation concludes, but well, we'll see next week. Do I
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: think it's great that she came back on. I don't
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: know if I can define it as great. Do I
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: think it's a problem. I think it will cause a
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: massive problem in the house, and I think the women
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: will feel really really confused at why Peter, after meeting
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: all of them, still decides to go back with somebody
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: that he's already given it a shot with. I think
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: the biggest problem here is not Hannah coming on and
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: not her problem, and not that she's selfish. I don't
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: think it's Peter for saying, hey, come into the house again.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: I think it will be the problem that Peter then
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: has to navigate with the other women now involved. Very
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: very good thoughts, Ben. My other girls that stood out
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: was Hannah Anne, who I didn't like from her very
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: first package seemed a little conceited. She's the model. She's
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: also the one that got the first impression Rose and
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: the one that um interrupted girls even after she got
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: her first night number one kiss. And I'm like, okay,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: you're You're definitely caught his eye. Let's not be obnoxious now.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: And not only did I find it obnoxious how many
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: times she interrupted, so I also found it really cold
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: of her when she sat down with that girl who
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: she interrupted. She just seemed fake. She seemed like she
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: didn't think she did anything wrong, and it was condescending
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: she acted to me, and how I viewed it, it
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: seemed like she was really looking down on the girl
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: who she hurt. I was just getting a general vibe
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: of coldness. I think I try to put myself in
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Peter situation. Here's the biggest difference between Peter and I'm
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: sure there's a lot. He likes boldness and I hesitant.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Like if somebody came up to me three nights and
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: three times a night one my guard would go up
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: and go, what is exactly happening here? Like why is there?
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Why why are you being this person? Because you know
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: it's going to rub people the wrong way, and I
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: don't want to be with somebody that is intentionally or
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: maybe even non intentially running people the wrong way. But
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Peter chose her with his first impression Rose, which makes
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: me think he's into that. Like he wants somebody that's forward,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: he wants somebody that kisses him right away, he wants
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: somebody that will will fight and grab for him, and like,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: that is a difference with Peter and I. You wouldn't
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: have seen that with me. Yeah, she seemed like she
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: would be the kind of like a confrontational girl, right.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: I would have been on I would have been on
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: edge and gone, why why do you? Like? At some
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: point I would say hey, Hannah, and like you're great.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: I think you're beautiful. You're gonna be here next year,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: in weeks after this. But here's what we have to remember.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of other people involved, so and I
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: would come up with a better way to say. But really,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: what Peter needs to tell her is like, make my
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: job easier by not doing this anymore. Please, totally, totally um.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: And then Madison was such a standout. I thought Madison
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: came across confident, but not with any sense of ego,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: very comfortable with her self. She wasn't she wasn't trying
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: to charge. She didn't look over eager. She just was like,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: I am me, and we're we're having good conversation and
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: I'm fitting in with your family so well. I just like,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: I don't think there was one little thing to nippick
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: at Madison. I think that was a perfect date. She
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: set the standard so high for one on ones. I
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: got a lot of tweets. I mean a lot. I
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: don't know. Again, I don't know how you quantify a lot.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: I got multiple tweets comparing Madison to Jessica, my girlfriend,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: and so she's bringing off Jessica vibe. I felt the
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: exact same way. I thought that which is a great thing, Yes,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: a terrific thing, UM, because like I would say, Jessica
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: is the most loyal, sweet, caring, like attentive person I've
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: ever met, and so to have Madison like compared to her,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: I think it's a huge compliment to Madison, especially if
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: people are tweeting me about it. You know, Ashley, I
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: think I take this away. I I I'm a Hannah
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: and fan because of the way, because of the way
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: her family was during UM, the dinner and the way
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: she communicated about Peter. The thing is this Hannah An
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: might have the Peter syndrome. Meeting Hannah And could do
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of wrong. And because of like just how
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: like cute she is, we're gonna be like, that's okay,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Tanna just being Hannah. You know, Peter can make out
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: with a bunch of people a night wanted it's Peter
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: being She's cute, for sure, she's stunning, But I just
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: find I found her not a girl's girl. I think
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: that's the part that might throw me off the most,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: and I need to see more of her. Is because
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: when you come up three times in one evening and
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: you know people are gonna be upset about it, like
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: that makes me go this, there's more to this, Like
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: I'm not willing because if you remember, right, Hannah And
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: was one of my favorites going into this night one,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: so I'm a little bit biased. But I have to
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: see a little bit more from her because right away
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: I was going, wait, this feels weird, like you're too
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: like you're confident yet this you know this is causing controversy,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: and I don't want anybody that's going to cause controversy.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: So I get what you're saying. I just am not
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: willing to go away from Hannah and quite yet, there
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: have been multiple people that have been Villain's Night one,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, a couple of weeks in,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: we're like, oh my god, can you believe that she
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: was a Villa Night one and that could happen with her?
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I just really didn't like the way
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: that she sat, how she sat down with the other girl,
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: and how cold she came across. That was the most telling.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: The interrupting itself is like, okay, so you want to
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: store something up, but it was the way she handled
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: that conversation that really like wave my red flag. M
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: that's interesting, Okay, I get it. I'm not I'm not
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: against it. Um. I just she was like my favorite
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: I think, and I'm not willing to put it down,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: but I will say Madison was my biggest surprise at
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Fantastic So good. And so then we have talked about
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Kelly because Kelly was the other big, per big, other
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: role player in this episode. She met Peter a couple
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: of months ago while she was at a wedding and
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: he was at a reunion at the same hotel. And
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: the girls don't like her because well, one, she's already
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: had time with Peter, and too, she cheated on the
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: relay race during the first group date. She went straight
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: when she was supposed to go like a swiggle pattern
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: on the twice ago, and then she ends up with
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: extra time on a sunset flight with Peter, and of
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: course the girls are sensing how much of a heads
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: up she has in this competition. I understand how they
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: could be a little bit jealous, but I also don't
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: think it's been anything that she's done. She couldn't help it.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: She ran into him, that she had a connection with him.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: What do you think about that? I like her. I
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: like this date. Yeah, first off, I love the date.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: I thought the flight school thing was like super creative
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: and fun and enjoyable. I think she cheated, Yes, very
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: clearly she cheated. However, um, it's just kind of like
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: one of those things where was it intentional cheating or
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: was she just in the moment and like peddling as
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: fast she could and ended up going straight instead of
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: around the curves And then she's done, and then nobody
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: said anything, so she just went onto the flight. Either way.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Here's how we have to look at this and hear
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: how the girls in the house have to look at
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: it is you're still like there's other women out there,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: You're you're not competing as much as you're pursuing time
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: and time is your biggest resource, and so she has
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: more time than other women. Instead of complaining and using
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: your time to complain and get distraught about it, say hey,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: I'm still in this. Peter is still interested in me
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: now tonight, I'm gonna make sure to sit him down
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: and tell him Kelly did her thing whatever she was
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: one out of the twenty of us or whatever that
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: that got to do that. But right now with you, Peter,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: I want you to know how I feel and what
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: I want out of this, like take advantage of your
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: time and not spend it getting distraught and upset because
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of time left. And the earliest the
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: earlier you get start getting like emotionally attached and upset,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: the earlier it's gonna get harder and harder, which we saw.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, actually, I don't remember a group date, a
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: first group date like this where any more tears were shed,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Like there were so many tears shed on this date.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: And it makes me think that these women need need
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: to know, like this isn't over yet by no means
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: is it over? Yeah? Did you? I liked her personally
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: and as somebody who wasn't victimized by the time that
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: she had. I didn't find myself reading against her at all.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: I wasn't on the other women's side. I was like, hey,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: other women, just yeah, like what you said, deal with it,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: move on, use your time for you. Yeah, now I'm
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: with you. I mean. The part that kind of was
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: sad in a sense is like they kind of put
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Kelly into a corner where it felt like she had
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: no good explanation. Hey, you cheated and you took time
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: with Peter what she supposed to do say, sorry, hey cheated,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna bow out. I'm not gonna go on this
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: plane ride like I don't need to because I no, like,
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: don't force her into being um the villain here. She
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: took time with the man that she's pursuing, and at
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: that we have to leave it there. And I think
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: that's where, you know, contestants, the show gets so sucked
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: up in the immediate and they don't look at the long,
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: long term and the long play here and The truth is, Hey,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: they had just as good a shot with with Peter
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Um as Kelly did. The next part I really want
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: to talk about, So Madison is one on one was terrific.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: H Kelly's time with Peter seemed like a spark flu.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Hannah came into um at a limo and surprised us all.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Was there any other limo kind of entrances that shook
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: you before we end this breakdown with talking about what
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: happened with Hannah Brown backstage? There wasn't no one who
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: came out of the limo that I was like, Oh man,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: she like she got him from the first impression. Was
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: there anyone for you? No? I agree. I thought I
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: thought were all high quality. I thought they were all
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: really good. I thought they were some funny ones. The
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: condoms kind of made me giggle. Um, there was like
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: I have one dry the girl, the Victoria. The Victoria
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: was like that took some like that took some guts.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: It reminded me of like a Caitlin Bristow entrance. UM,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: like there were some ones that stood out, But no,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: I'm with you, there wasn't one that I go, that's it, Like,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: That's why I think this season will be fun because
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: there isn't necessarily a front runner except for the girl
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: that we're gonna talk about next, and when Peter comes
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: on in a bit, we're gonna ask him about it
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: as well. Before we talk about Hannah Brown, let's take
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: a break, talk about our sponsors, and we'll get back
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: to break down Hannah Brown before Peter comes on. Okay,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: actually I have to hear thoughts. Peter is on his way.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: He'll be here in a few minutes. Um, Hannah Brown
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: is sitting backstage now with Peter. Um, we've talked about
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: is it an issue or not? Here really we can
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: summarize everything we've talked about in this. Do you think
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Peter and Hannah Brown are together today? I think there's
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: a fifty fifty chance that they are. Holy count But wait,
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: what do you think? Yeah? Actually, uh, Jessica last night
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Um texted me and she goes, I have a theory.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: And she doesn't watch She hasn't watched the show until
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: we started dating, and so she's like a two year
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: well two and a half year or two and a
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: half two season vet now at this and she goes,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: I have a theory that Hannah and Peter are together,
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: and I think kind of the people that haven't watched
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: it longest will be the ones that could tell us
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: the most accurate truth, so that because they're not biased,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: and I think Jessica might be onto something. I really
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: think that Hannah Brown and Peter could be together, which, again,
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: as we talked about, not a bad thing, shocking though
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: for the world. What it's crazy is that we would
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: have one season Hannah's that didn't end with like a
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: normal outcome, that we would have another season Peters that
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: also didn't end with the normal outcome, but all could
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: have just been solved. Had Hannah picked Peter, it wouldn't
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: be half as much fun and Warner Brothers would have
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: made half as much money. They would have been so
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: much less of a time commitment on our part. Um Ashley,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: to summarize this whole breakdown, what are some things that
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: you don't know that you're most looked like, some storylines
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: that you're most looking forward to going into the rest
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: of the season. Well, I do have a theory that
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: I want to express once Peter comes, but it also
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: has to do with him ending up with Hannah. I
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: think the mystery that they have given us to solve
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: is what is the news that Chris Harrison comes to
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: Peter with on that finale day? And I hope that
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: we get a clue every week. I wonder if it'll
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: just be like the fence Jump, where they're going to
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: tease a teez a tease it and we're not going
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: to get like a lot of context, or are we
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: going to get a clue each week to help solve it.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: I think you're spot on. I think this season is
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: gonna be very intriguing. I think this season will be
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: unlike anything we've seen. I do imagine that it will
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: be twists and turns and untraditional until the very end.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: And when Peter comes on, I want to break down
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: kind of his thought process on on being the Bachelor
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: and seeing not if we can get the ending out
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: of him as much of it is as he sits
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: here today, is he glad he did it? Hey, I'd
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: say a great night one for Peter. I'm excited to
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: bring him in the studio. He's on his way, he
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: just arrived, he's walking in right now. So as we
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: get him settled, let's take another break and come back
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: with the man himself, Pilot Pete New Year new decade,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: New chances for love. For the first time ever ever,
• 30:55

• 32:09
  Speaker 1: day f ash and as we mentioned earlier in the podcast,
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: one of our favorite episodes of the season is when
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: we bring the lead on to talk about Opening Night.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: The rest of the season just picked their brains a
• 32:18

  Speaker 1: man himself in Student, the man himself who brought the
• 32:25

• 32:30
  Speaker 1: past so crazy. This show keeps getting bigger and bigger
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: does it's a beautiful show. Well, thank you for being here, Peter. Um.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: We only have you for about a half an hour,
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: so I'm not going to like do pleasantries. I'm going
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: to get into the question. Okay, straight to the point,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: and we'll talk about something that you've talked about a
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: lot of places over the past couple of days. A
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: spoiler free finale, so kind of up. Yeah. So my
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: only deduction when hearing that is that you haven't picked
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: anyone yet. That's uh yeah, that's a reasonable guess. Um.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: I guess the main reason why I said that was
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: just the so that last week for me was was
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: just an insane week. It was definitely the hardest week
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: in my life, and um, I definitely couldn't have predicted
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: what ended up happening. There's just no way I could
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: have and that's kind of what made me say that. Um, Literally,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: up until the very last second, that's happening, that which
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: we see when Chris Harrison comes to you with possibly
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: life changing news. Yeah, that's that's no bs Um. Literally
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: until the very last day, the last second, I'm going
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: through stuff. And again, it was the most beautiful experience
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: in my life, but the hardest, and that last week
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: was definitely the hardest, the entire thing. Now, we normally
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: don't utter the words reality seve, especially when they're Bachelor
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: producers in the room, but I like, he hasn't figured
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: it out. And when I was typing my Cosmo article yesterday,
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: I started like puting all these little puzzle pieces together,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: and while I was writing, I was like, oh my god,
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: I think I just spoiled the season. Yeah, I'm gonna
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you my theory right now briefly, and
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: if you guys want more detail, you can go rent.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: I don't even want you to respond to it. I
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: want to tell the audience what your face looks like
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: when I say the theory. Okay, I'm very exciting, and
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry you guys that there's no video attached to this,
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: so um, I realized that your finale, when you're supposed
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: to hand out your final rows, seemed to have coincided
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: with Hannah Brown's Dancing with Stars win. And my theory
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: is that Chris Harrison comes to you saying, we just
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: found out that Hannah won Dancing with the Stars and
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: that she felt like it was great, but you weren't
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: there to celebrate with her, so like she's still wanting
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: you back, like you're still a huge missing part of
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: her life. And Peter has a huge smile on his
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: face and he's laughing, and the mirror ball it wasn't
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: enough for her. And then, um, you find this out
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: and you were about to give out your final rows,
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: but then you realize that you couldn't give out that
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: rose yet until you dated Hannah in real life. So
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: right now or in the past month or so, you've
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: dated two girls in real life, and now on the
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: after the final rows, which there was no final rows,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: you will decide who you're going to be with. This
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: is what I tell you. Well, I don't put this
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: podcast on the universe, we'll see it. I'm excited for
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: I want to fall along and um, I keep going
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: back to as well, like I kind of related to football.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: If you know, you know the Super Bowl, you know
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: the outcome, it's a little bit different. One would you
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: watch the whole season the same way? Probably not. So
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: It's just it's just cool. I think it's a unique
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: thing and it's something fun if if no one figures
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: it out. And again, now I didn't go into it,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: expect you all. I'm going to have this be unspoiled.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: That was never again, You're gonna see I couldn't have
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: predicted what happened. Um P. I gotta ask you though,
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: because I'm trying to go back in my mind of
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: what it was like and I can't really remember. But
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: after last night, right, this story starts for you and
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: for the next you know, ten plus weeks, this will
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: be the story that people are watching and unfolding alongside
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: of your life. But this has already happened in your life.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: This is a huge moment probably no matter how this
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: ends up, the biggest, one of the biggest, if not
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: the biggest moment in that you've ever had in your
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: story as a human. What is it like now sitting
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: here today, going all this has happened. There's been a
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: ton of tears a ton of emotion, a ton of love, whatever,
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: and I'm sitting here going I have this all kind
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: of like inside of me build up and I just
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: can't talk about it. Yeah, I mean, I mean, I'm
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: sure you know exactly what I'm feeling right now. It's
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: it was, It is the craziest feeling I you know,
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: I kind of had the hiatus from when we finished
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: filming and you know, you're processing everything, all the good,
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: all the bad, and it's a little bit of a lull.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: And now after last night, I'm reliving it again. And
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: I knew, I mean, I remember from Hannah season and
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: the actually it was kind of crazy to do it,
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: have a little break and then relive it. And this
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: whole season obviously it's a lot bigger for me specifically.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: And um, it's a beautiful season. It's a tough season,
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: and I know that it's gonna be there's me a
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: lot of highs, but I know it's gonna be a
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: lot of loads and I don't have to re experience
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: and um, yeah, it's a very unique, surreal experience. Well
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: it's a spoiler free ending. Supposedly, you did say on
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: your Instagram yesterday, where's the quote, I'm thankful for the
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: most amazing opportunity to find my girl. And he's smiling, guys,
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: and he's just lit up a little bit. Oh yeah, Okay,
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: so I'm gonna run with it a little bit. And
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking that even though, like you may have not
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: been able to make a final decision on that finale,
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: it still ended up being a happy ending for you. Yeah.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: I I can say I'm happy, and I can say that,
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: but is it an ending. I don't know. I want
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: to say it's it's funny how everyone like reads into
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: every little word. And I'm not gonna lie because I'm
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: in this position. I don't know if you did this, Ben,
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: It's just maybe I'm kind of weird. Since i have
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: to be in secret about it, I'm kind of having
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: fune then maybe throwing people off, you're a little bit.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: They're a little bit. They're the saying things that you know,
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: just to throw them off. Just have fun with it
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: because you know this, I'll never be in this kind
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: of situation ever again. So um, it's cool. Yeah, it's
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: this is a funny time because you have all this
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: that you know, you're one of a few people that
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: do know. Now you're doing press outlets. Everybody's trying to
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: get something out of you. They're treating you almost like
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: an object. They're just like drilling you questions, and you
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: do have fun with it. It is fine. I mean,
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: I guess until like one day you just snap and
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: you're like, this is ridiculous, Like can we not just
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: let this thing play out? Because I'm tired of like
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: always being on guard in public. I need buddy that
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: I talked. I know, I hate now like to go
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: to like you gotta tune in and find out. Like
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: I literally find myself saying that every single day to everyone.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: And I mean, I know everyone's curious and they're excited,
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: and I appreciate that, but I know what you mean.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: But I'm trying to have as so much fun with
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: it as I can. Before we talk about Hannah, I
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: have to say I've been thinking that you look like that,
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: Like I feel like you look like a lighter colored Ben.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: I've heard that before, okay, and then like you guys
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: have similar voices, but now that I'm actually next to
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: you in person, I'm thinking that you are the actual
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: child of Ben Against and Nick File. It's actually weird.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: It's so weird. It's so crazy because honestly, Ben, I
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: told you, I'm such a huge fan of Ben. I
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: remember his season, like that guy did it right, and
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: I just you know, I think she's the film all
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: the guys. You know, you certainly feel the most reminiscent
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: of Ben watching last night's episode than anyone we've seen
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: since little a little corny trying her hardest to be
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: like semi cool. It works right, Okay, Now for Handah questions,
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: you said that when Hannah came out of the limo
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: that you didn't want to stop looking at her, and like,
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: I feel like your heart probably sunk. It was that huge,
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: and I think you probably got a little excited that
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: she was there to join the house. Yeah. I so
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: when that when that door, that door first opened, At
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: first I didn't realize it was actually hurt. I just
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: saw this beautiful girl, and then as she kind of
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: stepped out, John dropped, I realized that's Hannah, and just
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: I mean all the motions just hit me at once,
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: obviously really excited, really nervous, just not knowing why she's there,
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: and a little bit of me definitely kind of I
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: really loved the gesture and her giving me back the wings,
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: but a little bit of me did. It was curious
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: if she was gonna like ask to come in, you know,
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: coming in the mansion. I'm not gonna lie in that
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: moment um. You know, she didn't, and she left, and
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: you guys saw what happened later on with that group
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: day in that conversation, and that was that was pretty
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: deep for sure. So that must have just thrown you off.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: Like you're excited about meeting new women, but then you're
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: reminded of all the feelings that you have her hand,
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: and then when you walked into the room where you
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: just kind of like, I hope somebody here can compare
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: in my heart absolutely absolutely remember, Yeah, the first kind
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: of toasts I gate with all the women after all
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: the entrances, and I needed obviously address why she was there,
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: and I did, and all the women didn't. They were
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: really understanding, which was awesome because they could have gone
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: off on me, you know the first night, and um,
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: you know, they all knew how much you know, she
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: means to me. And I remember telling him like it
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: just it made me even more hopeful that this was
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: going to work because it kind of brought back some
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: feelings of what I was feeling with her on that season,
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, this is gonna work. I have all
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: the hope in the world. I'm going to find my
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: girl that she's in this room right now, And um,
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: I really just I really appreciated that gesture by Hannah.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: So you were in on it though. A couple of
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: days later, when she was one of the like leaders
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: of the date, Um, what made you think, like, I'm
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: cool to have her make another appearance. Maybe it wasn't
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: the best best I remember the date card said, I
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: hope this isn't awkward. Was awkward, but I, um, it
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: was fun. We're everyone knows about our passes than secrets.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: Were kind of owning it, and it was really supposed
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: to be like a fun date. It was gonna be
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: awkward for sure, and uncomfortable kind of getting the girls
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: out of the comfort zone and and me as well,
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: And um, what ended up happening like that? The date
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: just not happening. That wasn't planned. Obviously, we were supposed
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: to to go forward with it, and that conversation kind
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: of took over and we had to with it, and
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: it was a very honest conversation that for sure had
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: happened in that moment, and you know it is what
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: it is. I felt like when Hannah was up telling
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: her sex story on the stage, she was come across
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a little cocky. She was like
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: exerting some dominance. I think she was kind of like, ladies,
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: this is my man, this is what happened between us,
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: and you won't be able to compare. I think there
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: was a lot of jealousy coming out. Yeah, and I
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: get it. I totally get it, and part of me
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: felt bad about it, kind of putting the woman through that. Again,
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that was going to be the date.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: So maybe if I did, maybe I would have, I
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: thought twice. But um, so you didn't know that was
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: gonna be the topic of the date. I had no
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: idea what the date was. All I knew that Hannah
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: was hosting it. I had no idea what we were doing.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: And then yeah, I didn't tell the girls obviously that
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: Hannah was hosting it until I saw her. But that's
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: the only part that I knew. Let's talk about the
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: date in general. Um, just like sex stories, do you
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: feel like that's like something that's okay to do on
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: the first date with women, Like, it's a thing I
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: took my for is one on ones my parents about renewal.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: So I was like, just like going out of the
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: gates fast. Um, you know again. Yeah, it obviously is
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: a theme of you know, our the last season with Hannah.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: The last couple of seasons, sex has been a big thing.
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: It is, Um, I for one, listen, I people don't
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: believe it, but I am very usually private about my
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: intimate life. It's kind of gotten blown up. I understand.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: I'm just owning it. Good thing is I'm comfortable talking
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: about it. And I know there was a big theme
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: of Hannah talking about women empowerment with sex and not
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: letting it, you know, be something that they can't talk
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: about or feel ashamed about it. So I think that
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: was the what she was trying to get through to them.
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: But do you mind if I go with a couple
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: more questions before I know I'm loving this. Man was
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: laughing over here. I like the comment that Pete just
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: made he typically private with his private life, and I
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: was like, there's no shot. I know nobody believes that,
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: but I swear it to you, and you can look.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: I never said anything about the woman. I was never me. No,
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: you know you never did. Um, okay, So what I
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: did love was that Hannah was what we oh Hannah
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: to be. She didn't change at all when you saw
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: her backstage, and she was like not going to hold
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: back what she was thinking, what her heart was telling her.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: And I think you were frustrated that she waited till
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: that moment to tell you about all these lingering feelings
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: and frustrations that she had. What were you thinking, I
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: need to I mean, we know what you were thinking.
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: You were thinking. You're asking me to be like third
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: place again. You've already like tried it with Jed and
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: that didn't work out. Then you already asked Tyler and
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: that didn't work out, and so now here you are
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: placing me third again. I don't know if like I was,
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: that was how the conversation started. It was more, you know,
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: I saw she was emotional and we went in and
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: we talked, and um, you know she I was just
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: trying to pick her mind because I had genuine questions
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: that I had wondered about for a long time, specifically
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: going back to Afar and if anything was ever going
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: to possibly happen with us and so it was kind
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: of more me asking her the question. I don't think
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: it was. It wasn't necessarily her like part of me, oh,
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: you're in my third place, And it wasn't like that. Um.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to get some answers to stuff that
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: I want to get answers to and try to get
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: that closure. And in that moment, I remember kind of bad.
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: I'm like, is this appropriate to be talking to her
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: about this with? You know, I have the rest of
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: these girls outside waiting for me to come back for
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: this group date, and I just came to the realization Listen,
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: I it was so early on, and that it was
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: a couple of days from when I met them. I
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: didn't really have any real feelings or emotions with any
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: of those women yet I knew they were amazing, but
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: I had feelings for Hannah, and those all resurfaced, and
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: so I was treated myself and I told the girls
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: that from the very first night I would do that
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: the entire entire time, and I didn't. I couldn't have
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: predicted it like that coming off. But yeah, I don't
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: think it was ever handed trying to put me like
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: in a third place thing. It was more me kind
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: of questioning her. Do you think it was coming from
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: a place of jealousy fomo for her, or do you
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: think it was coming from like, oh, crap, I really
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: miss out on this opportunity and I I need to
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: get it off my chest. A mix with like her
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: explaining everything happened, like yeah, why she was coming back, now,
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: why she was telling you this? Now? Yeah, listen, we're
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: all human. We you know, if you want to call
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: mistakes or whatnot. I mean, we learned from him and
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: you go through these experiences, and no one's perfect. She
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: preached that from the very beginning of her season. I
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: remember the first thing, and that's one thing I took
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: with me kind of into my first speech to kind
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: of set the tone of my my season with the girls,
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: like we're not perfect, m raw and be vulnerable. And
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: she was displaying that again like she is always done
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: and something I love about her, and um, you know
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: again it was an honest talk that had happened. Those
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: were all real feelings. And you guys, I'll see what
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: happens next week. You talk about you know, I mean,
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: I've just been talking about how Hannah comes and tells
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: you this. Now, what if she had come and told
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: you that a couple of weeks prior, what would you
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: what would you have said? Would you have dropped out
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: of the Bachelor root? Ben's laughing. You're gonna think I'm
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: crazy for that when you hear what I'm about to say. Um, oh,
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: he would have? I told you? I told her that.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: I'll be straight up, I don't have no reason I
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: had anything I told Hannah, and whether it's shown or
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: not in that moment that Ah, if if we would
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: have had that conversation earlier before obviously I decided to
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: do this, I probably wouldn't be the Bachelor. Wow. So
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: that must have frustrated her even more and probably made
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: her want to stay in that house even more. But
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: we know that she doesn't stay in the house because
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: she goes on twin Dancing with the Stars. Ben, do
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: you have any questions to go? I could keep going here.
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: I have so many questions, but any more questions about
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: Hannah because I'm like, I'm gonna dick I can. I
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: gotta dig that doesn't believe me that. Here's the thing.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: Can of course, here's my honest feedback, And I could
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: be wrong you. I've heard um from the team at
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: the Bachelor that you are a tremendous fellow, um, and
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: I've got to talk to you quite a bit, and
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: I know that to be true. I think it would
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: be so hard to be prepping my life to become
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: the Bachelor, to be out there in public as the
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: next Bachelor, to know that a relationship just this is
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: me talking. I'm not you agree or disagree to know
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: that this relationship just ended. Somebody told me that they
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: didn't want to be with me, meaning you and Hannah.
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: They call you once you're already announced the Bachelor, and
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: you would say, yeah, you know what, I'm gonna quit
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: this thing with a whole new opportunity and tons of
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: new women to meet, to go back to somebody that's
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: just dumped me. I think that would be really hard
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: to process. Yeah, that's totally fair, and I'm not saying
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: it was the smart decision if I would have done that,
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: but I'm just I'm deciding to be a percent transparent
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: with you guys and honest, and that's speaking from my heart.
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: In that moment, I remember all that stuff and I
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: was processing then that's where my mind was that so here,
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: just to close this thought, it means a lot that
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: you say this, Pete, because the last night, as I'm watching,
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: to be honest, I'm watching and going, ah, this is
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: kind of just like in the moment, right, he's trying
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: not to hurt her feelings. Um, he's trying to fill
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: conversation with saying what if? What if? What if? And
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't I get it as a as
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: a man, or somebody doesn't love controversy or confrontation, Like
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: this would be what I would do, Like you ask
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: a bunch of questions and you say the what ifs
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: of everything until it ends and then you both move
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: onto your separate ways. But to know that I'm sitting
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: there last night and seeing you actually saying, hey, I
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: really care about you or I cared about you like
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: this is hard for me to see you sitting here crying.
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: It makes me go. While that moment was so much
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: more real than what I assumed. Oh I assumed it
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: was so real. Yeah, that was That was an extremely
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: real moment for me, and no one saw it coming.
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: I didnt see it coming, Um, but I was really
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: thankful that I did have the opportunity to have that
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: conversation with hand in that moment because we definitely needed that.
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: I could kind of tell it was so real because
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: I saw her like panicky with the producers and the
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: little bit that we got to see that fourth wall broken,
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: and I knew that like it. It was probably something
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: she was like, I don't want to do this, I
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: don't want to do this, but nless, she just couldn't
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: hold it back, and it was just like, I'm just
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: gonna be here and he's gonna find me and it's
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: gonna be really really awkward, but I have to get
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: this off my chest. Actually, I'm giving you one minute
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: in thirty seconds to continue to drill this poor fellow
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: before I started talking about because I have to. I
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: have two really big questions, Um, if you loved her
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: that much that you would have denied the bachelor role,
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: why didn't you reach out to her like she mentioned?
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: Because I I truly wanted it to be a very
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: authentic conversation when we met a far and when we
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: saw each other and being again complete eyes, I was
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: told not to, so I didn't. I was told not
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: to reach out, like to talk to them, and um,
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: talk to Hannah until until then, and you know I
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: was told you know by producer too, Like there's a reason,
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: like you want that to be authentic and that's a
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: big moment. So, uh, that's the reason I didn't do it.
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: She kept saying that it was going to be between
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: you and Jed, but then it wasn't. What in the
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: world that threw me off? Yeah, so what what? What
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: did you interpret that as? I if she said that,
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: I don't remember ever seeing that to me, that it
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: was me and Jed. I never ever recall that that
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: she kept picturing you and Jed, but then it just
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: wasn't that. Yeah, and she, I guess almost like kind
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: of swears that she did. Maybe she I don't know,
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: I don't remember that. Um, that didn't necessarily feel good.
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: I didn't like enjoy it. That didn't make me feel better.
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: I guess hearing that, But it's crazy. There's a mess.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: It was uh real. And I would say, like, now
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: that you have said that you didn't reach out to
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: her because you weren't supposed to, which is true. Um,
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: I would say that it wasn't in her It was
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: her right to reach out to you, Like if she
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: wanted to go out with you, she should have reached
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: out to you because she was the one that dumped you,
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Absolutely, yeah, just like the
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: way that she asked Tyler out. Was your friendship with
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: Tyler in any way a reason that you didn't go
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: near Hannah after a f r uh? No, The main
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: reason was just that, I remember. So I saw her
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: that that the day that I was on the finale,
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: and then I went to New York that night and
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: I watched We had talked a little bit about possibly,
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: you know, catching up and meeting up again, and and
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: then she asked Tyler out the next night. And then
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, I'm done because you had two
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: separate nights of a far last week. Yes, And so
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: once I saw that, then I just kind of gave
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: up on the on the hand, on pursuing hand, I
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: was like, Okay, well they're obviously going at it now,
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: so um giving it a shot. So that was kind
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: of it for me. And get it all right, Benjamin, Oh,
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: these are my favorite days. I'm telling you. Actually get
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: so excited. There's so much going through that that girl's
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: mind right now about this season, Peter. You just she's
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: going to sleep so much easier night because of you,
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: And I just have to say that I have to
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: ask Kelly questions when you're done, but you go first,
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: All right, Actual, I'll give you your time. But before
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: I do, uh, Peter, I want to sit down for
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: a second and just chat with you a little bit.
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: I want to tell you how, um, what I think
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: of you so far. UM. Like that matters to anybody,
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: but it does to our listeners. They listen because they
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: want to know what I think. UM. I've really enjoyed
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: getting to know you. UM. We've talked a few times.
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: Your mind going into this and kind of your attitude
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: going into this was something that I admired and was
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: learning from. And UM, I think what I saw last
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: night was that same guy that we you know, before
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: we talked and you started your season, the same guy
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: stood up there And I think that that for me
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: is refreshing, um, and it's exciting. So that's how I
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: want to start this. And then I also want to say,
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: uh that one of the things that I take, uh
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: that really breaks me is is when I when people
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: get off this season and I hear that they weren't
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: nice to the staff or to the team that works
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: on the show. Because there's you know, two d plus
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: people that this is their full time job, so they
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: feed their families and it every year we bring up,
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: um things that have happened during the show, and how
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: hard that must have been for the employees involved, the
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: people that that do this for a living. And I
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: heard nothing but amazing compliments about you and how you
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: treated people. Why why was that something that you made
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: um important in your experience and it wasn't just about
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: you that it was about the others. Yeah, I mean,
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think for me, it just it comes
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: down to just gratitude and I felt like the most
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: grateful person and are just the luckiest person in the
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: entire world. Um that everybody involved, and you guys know
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: the huge team that's involved with everything just that people
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: never see with all you know, prepping the next day
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: and the next week in advance and getting everything set up.
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: There's so much work that goes into it. And it's
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: literally all for me to hopefully find my person and
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: that just I I don't understand, like what I did
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: to be able to have this amazing opportunity and have
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: the time of my life doing and just the most
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: fun dates ever. Like it's freaking awesome, man, And how
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: could you not just be so thankful for everyone that
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: and I could tell it to you like I got.
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: I had an amazing relationship with a lot of people
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: you know, on on the crew, and it's just it
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: so great that they actually, like I could just see
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: how much they truly wanted me to find what I
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: was after and they were so invested. And I saw
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: that from night one until the very end. There were
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: so many tears and laughter and just it literally family,
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: and I just I'm so lucky. Where did that great
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: gratefulness lead you then? So? I mean obviously at night uh,
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: in the first episode, we saw you involve your family, um,
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: and it we saw you be really appreciate to the women.
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: We obviously now know behind the scenes you were great
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: to the staff. How did your gratefulness going into it,
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: and your consistent gratefulness throughout where? How did that guide
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: you and lead you? And what kind of things stood
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: out because you were so grateful? I think, Um, you know,
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: I like the entire journey. I I knew what I
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: wanted to happen in the end. And I'm a very
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: obviously optimistic, positive person. I don't think anyone there's no
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: doubt about that. Um. But something that I just always
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: focused on because there was a lot of tough times,
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: you know, being the badge, like in the same time
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: the hardest times in my life. But I know that
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: I always go back to it's impossible to feel two
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: things at once, and if you always have that feeling
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: of gratefulness and gratitude, you can't feeling negative feeling. And
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: through all those hard tough moments, or even when I
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: was like messing up and I felt horrible that I
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: was letting the girls down and I wasn't doing the
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: best job that maybe I could have done, I just
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: tried to bring in ground and center myself back to
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: just being grateful for this opportunity, not knowing I didn't
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: need to be perfect, and just grateful that they were
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: there and they were giving me a chance, and um
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: it literally just like that's how I lived my life,
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: and even beyond the batchelor like that just that's me,
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: and um, you know it's worked for me up to
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: this point and keep saying it broken record, but it's
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: grateful for this entire journey. I heard that when you've
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: got your Harry Potter's car, you know, you're like gushing
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: blood and you're apologizing to the crew for like delaying
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: the day because I wasn't feeling any pain at that point.
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: I had so many endorphins going like they adrenaline. Have
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: felt no pain, so I'm thinking, like, shoot, it's done,
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: Like it's over, Like it's I don't know if we're
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: going to continue this. I literally my sporehead was split
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: like this day like three. It was insane. It was
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: a murder scene. It was crazy, so much blood um.
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: But luckily, you know, we got to do the date
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: the next day, didn't flown it down the I remember
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: this moment for me, P and I want to see
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: if you had one like it, And again, don't I'm
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: not asking you to spoil anything. I don't. I don't
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: really care about that. I want to watch it along
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: with you. But now people know how my season kind
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: of went through. And then I had a really tough
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: decision at the end, and I was having really strong
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: feelings for two women, and I knew I was going
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: to have to break up with one of them. And
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: then I was also at this point a little peeved
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: at the whole experience because I was tired and we
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: had been traveling, and I knew this was leading up
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: to the probably the biggest moment in the life and
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: also one of the saddest moments of my life. And
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: I was just like being the victim. I had a
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: victim mentality. And I remember this moment. I was sitting
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: on the edge of my bed and I don't know
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: if you're a man of faith, but I was sitting
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: on the edge of my bed and I'm looking out
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: in Jamaica at the ocean um from this insane house.
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: And then I look out and there's this team to
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: the right of me in the in like the the
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: grass building the stage for what was going to be
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: the proposal. And then I looked to the left of
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: me and there was my team of Bachelor producers sitting
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: down below me, having food together. And I just started
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: praying this like overwhelming prayer of like I can't believe
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: I get to do this, Like I cannot believe that
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: this is my story, that for the rest of my life,
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: this will be a piece of what I talk about,
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: and that I get to stand here in this moment
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: as a dude who was not even a year ago
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: working in an office and today like people care about
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: me in ways that I've never felt before and I
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: just started praying this like prayer and it changed my
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: perspective from that moment on until today on what I
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: viewed this thing is. It's beautiful. As you had that moment,
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: I mean I had that from the very first night.
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: I have a very similar moment. I remember standing there
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: outside with the first limo coming up and you look
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: to the left and we can't see, you know, from
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: behind the scenes, but all the crew there and all
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: the cameras and everyone just there for me to get
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: this going, and just throughout the entire entire journey, like
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: every day, I mean up to the very end, and
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to give away like the end,
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: but like there's you know, obviously some big moments there
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: and a lot of work is put into it um
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: for me and how life changing that is and how
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: beautiful a moment, and I'll never forget it. And uh,
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: I know what you mean. Man, It's like it's just
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: it's crazy, it's very surreal, and it's just knowing that
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: there's so many people that truly are invested in you
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: and care about you finding what you're after. It's I
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: get as I when I'm on airplanes and I'm saying
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: by the passengers and they come up to me like
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: we hope you find what you're looking for and just
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: like like just so supportive, like that means so much
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: and people don't really realize how much that means to me,
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: and um, it's this is the support has been unreal.
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: I know we don't have a lot of time left
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: with you, Pete. I just want to go through a
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: few things with you and get some get some info
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: from it. Uh, A couple of things fears before the
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: show um started and now fears now as you walk
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: to this world as the Bachelor. The biggest one for
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: going into it was was for sure just somehow having
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: someone in some type of way kind of fool me
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: and have me just fault for them, um, you know,
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: without possibly letting me see the full the full side
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: of them or um some type of issue in that regard,
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: because I knew I was, and I asked all the
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: women that that first night, I said, you know, please
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: show me the respect that I'm going to show everyone
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: of you. And you know, I know I'm not naive.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: I get what this amazing franchise and opportunity can do
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: for you outside of this, but please, because I'm taking
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: this so seriously. Please show me the respect back of
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: you know, only being here as much as you can
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: just to see if there's something with me, and if
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: it's not, like please please don't stay. And that was
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: the biggest fear that maybe they wouldn't take me seriously
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: in that regard. Um after the show, now, um, you
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: know it's tough. This is weird now being in this
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: situation of you know, you got the secret that you're
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: keeping and no one really knows it, and um, I
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: don't know, maybe maybe I like I put too much
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: pressure on myself. I remember going and I was asked,
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: you know, you have Colton with the fence and and
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: and Han out with the windmill and all this stuff,
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: and what do you want to be remembered for? And
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: I remember, like, I don't want to be remember for
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: any of that stuff. I just wanted to truly get
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: because I love this show so much and what it
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: stands where I wanted to give everyone that opportunity to
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: follow a love story and kind of live like curiously
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: through it. And I guess my biggest series, you know,
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: lighting people down in some way, I don't know, Well
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: that's what Everybody wants from the show is just a
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: really good love story at the end of it, and
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: I hope you got it. But did you also hook
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: up with Kelly before the show? I promise you. I didn't,
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: and I was very I didn't even get her phone number.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: I was like, listening, kiss no kiss you guys, how
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: to dance you? How too? We had a great time.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: We met. We met in the lobby. We went in,
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: we got because I was leaving, I'm like, we want
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: to get a drink, So we went to get a
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: drink and then we went out. We went back. It
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: was it was a close so when we did some
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: dancing outside, her friends had like a boom box. We
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: started dancing. We did a little swing dancing that was
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: really fun. And then the night was over. We're gonna
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: head out and my friends are going to Denny's. Remember,
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: and um, I was like, all right, well, I guess
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: you know, we'll see what happens. I didn't get her number.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: I was like, if it's meant to be, it'll be
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: serendipity exactly. I remember. I just like, and that was
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: the smartest move you've ever made existed? I did. It
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: was hard because like there was a connection that I'm
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: not gonna lie. It's palpable. We can feel it. And yeah,
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: I remember watching her. She left, then she turned, I
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: gave her hug, she walked away with her friend in
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: the elevator. I was like, that could have been the
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: last time I ever saw that girl. Something amazing could
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: have happened with that girl if I would have pursued it. There,
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. Oh my god, that's amazing. Yeah,
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: I know she has a target on our back right now,
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: but I really like her. And my last fun question
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: is when that What was the last time you flew
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: a plane commercially? Um, like a week and half ago. Wait,
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: Bill Bachelor is actually out there still flying plans? Hell yeah, money. Actually,
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: I know this job. That is awesome. I went back
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: to work like like a week after we finished film
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: and but that's like my happy place. People have to
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: understanding I love what I do, and I know it's obvious,
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: but I really do. That's so cool. All right, Well,
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: thank you so much. I have one really interesting thing,
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: and you just talk through with you before we let
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: you go. It's gonna take two minutes, so I know
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: your producers over there are probably going, we gotta go,
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: we gotta go. Well, so night one, you you kissed.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, i'd say a lot of people, here's what
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: happened during my season. Chris sol did the same thing.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: So I went to the night one in the big
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: contint fracy that I wanted that everybody asked me going
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: in The Bachelor from all the networks was how many
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: girls are you gonna kiss on night one? So I
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: went into it going, I'm gonna be really cautious of this,
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: like super cautious to not kiss anybody on night one.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: You did the opposite. But here's the thing, and we've
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: talked about on this show before about you and I
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: think you're good dude, I think you you respect people. Well,
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: I don't think any of those things. I'm not saying
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: that here. But if like, for whatever reason it is,
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: you can make out and have sex in a wind
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: mill and everybody goes, oh sweet Peter, I like, I
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: don't know, man, I honestly, I guess because I never
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: brought it up. I don't know she did it. Yeah,
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: so she kind of set me up. But that was
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: still going, oh sweet, Peter, I'm going this dude, I'm
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: a passionate man. No, but it's funny. I actually I
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: remember going to the first night I promised you I
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: was gonna I had that same approach and then it
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: was and I loved it. Savannah was very bold. She
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: came up with with the blindfold and got it going
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: and kind of like broke the ice there, and I
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: was like, all right, let's go. How do you feel
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: about that? You were okay with that? I was, Yeah,
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: I thought it was bold. It was cool as different
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: and um, and then when I was dealing with anyone
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: else at night, like that's why I wasn't afraid to
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: go and for a kiss. Yeah, you're like, hey, somebody
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: already started me actually before we let you loose again,
