- 1:40Speaker 1: a tobacco pipe. It's an old school pipe. It's like
- 1:42Speaker 1: a grandfather's pipe. Do I have to worry about your lungs?
- 1:45Speaker 1: There's a bad no. No, no, I don't inhale this.
- 1:48Speaker 1: Actually I still run marathons. Like I'm good. I just
- 1:52Speaker 1: like this is my way of calming down at the
- 1:53Speaker 1: end of a big day. It's been a big couple
- 1:56Speaker 1: of days for me. I think it's important that I
- 1:58Speaker 1: relaxed and I'm excited to be with you. I mean,
- 2:00Speaker 1: we have a huge I mean, I don't think people
- 2:02Speaker 1: realize when they listen to this podcast exactly the gifts
- 2:05Speaker 1: at which we're giving them. We have a massive podcast.
- 2:08Speaker 1: Full of incredible guests. We have Eric and Kenny. I mean,
- 2:13Speaker 1: we have Antalice and Kindall. We have Angela, who's Angela? Well,
- 2:17Speaker 1: we're asking the same question, who the heck are you Angela?
- 2:20Speaker 1: And we have Kindall. I mean, Kendall is a Hotamoni
- 2:23Speaker 1: in Paradise. We guessed it, we believe it. You better
- 2:27Speaker 1: see it. Watch Paradise Tuesday nights on ABC. Okay with that, Ashley, Yeah,
- 2:32Speaker 1: we love Paradise right. We haven't seen an episode like
- 2:35Speaker 1: that since season three because season four was as snow
- 2:38Speaker 1: as fast. You know, there's drama around that. I mean,
- 2:42Speaker 1: I'm not kidding, Patril, and Paradise is one of my
- 2:44Speaker 1: favorite times of the year. I watch it even though
- 2:45Speaker 1: it's summertime and it's beautiful, said all, go inside to
- 2:47Speaker 1: watch Paradise. But you you have a unique storyline still
- 2:53Speaker 1: in Paradise, even though you're happy and in love and
- 2:55Speaker 1: moving on and getting ready to get married with to
- 2:58Speaker 1: a beautiful man. Get she's beautiful, Ashley during this episode,
- 3:06Speaker 1: nodding at me like yes, um, Ashley, I'll be honest.
- 3:11Speaker 1: I love you. You know that I get very protective
- 3:13Speaker 1: of you because you and I do something very special
- 3:16Speaker 1: to both of our hearts together. The podcast is the
- 3:18Speaker 1: reason that I can still work for Generous for free
- 3:20Speaker 1: and volunteer my time. So the podcast is a big
- 3:22Speaker 1: deal to both of us. We enjoy our listeners, we
- 3:24Speaker 1: enjoy talking, and you're my co host, and we get
- 3:27Speaker 1: along really well, and I want to continue that. So
- 3:30Speaker 1: I get protective in your name got brought up in
- 3:32Speaker 1: the first episode, and I like Kevin too. I'll throw
- 3:34Speaker 1: that out there. Kevin's a good friend of mine, but
- 3:39Speaker 1: he brought you up, and and my skin started to crawl,
- 3:43Speaker 1: my hands starting to tighten. Even Kevin beat the crap
- 3:46Speaker 1: out of me. Ashley, what is going on here? Tell
- 3:51Speaker 1: us all about it? Catch us up? Well, I mean,
- 3:55Speaker 1: I was like, I wanted him to do Paradise. Um.
- 3:58Speaker 1: I remember when I called him in May before Jared
- 4:02Speaker 1: and I came out as in public. Um, And I
- 4:06Speaker 1: just kind of warned him and was like, Hey, I
- 4:07Speaker 1: just wanted to let you know that I'm dating Jared
- 4:09Speaker 1: and we're kind of like coming out about it tomorrow.
- 4:13Speaker 1: And I said, are you going to do Paradise? You
- 4:16Speaker 1: should totally do Paradise, because I know that he loves
- 4:18Speaker 1: his experience. He has such a good time with it, UM,
- 4:22Speaker 1: And I really think that he believes it's a great
- 4:24Speaker 1: process for him to find love. I was just actually
- 4:27Speaker 1: pause you right there? Can I stop you right there?
- 4:30Speaker 1: This is the first moment that needs some clarity on UM.
- 4:34Speaker 1: During this episode, the statement was made through the Bachelor grapevines.
- 4:38Speaker 1: I heard that Ashley and Jared were dating. So you're
- 4:42Speaker 1: claim that you told Kevin directly that you were dating Jared. Yeah,
- 4:46Speaker 1: that was a weird way of saying it when I
- 4:48Speaker 1: did call him directly before the world knew about it. Yeah.
- 4:53Speaker 1: And also I just thought that it was I was
- 4:56Speaker 1: confused by the way that he said that he imagined
- 4:58Speaker 1: marrying me because we never exchanged I love yous. We
- 5:03Speaker 1: never really thought beyond a couple of months. So and
- 5:08Speaker 1: I think that when he was here talking about our breakup,
- 5:12Speaker 1: you kind of got the same vibe from him that
- 5:14Speaker 1: it wasn't necessarily like a lifelong partner thing. And he
- 5:18Speaker 1: also went on Caitlin Bristow's podcast and said similar things
- 5:20Speaker 1: this month. So I don't know. I just think it
- 5:22Speaker 1: was weird that he brought up the marriage term because
- 5:24Speaker 1: I don't think either of us really saw that. But
- 5:27Speaker 1: but anyway, I do. I really am excited to see
- 5:31Speaker 1: how he fares in Paradise. I think he might do well.
- 5:34Speaker 1: He's definitely, like always a hot commodity on any of
- 5:36Speaker 1: these Bachelor shows that he does, and I mean, obviously
- 5:40Speaker 1: it's it's clear why he would be liked him. Last night,
- 5:44Speaker 1: Crystal and him made out. He was really into Crystal,
- 5:47Speaker 1: and then that swung his way. I did, because they
- 5:53Speaker 1: definitely share that fitness thing. Yeah, he's definitely a guy
- 5:57Speaker 1: who puts working out at well, it's priorities of his life,
- 6:01Speaker 1: and Crystal does too, so I thought that they made sense. Actually,
- 6:06Speaker 1: how did you feel when he talked about you? I
- 6:09Speaker 1: just you know, I've I figured it would happen, because
- 6:14Speaker 1: you know, this is the Bachelor, and storylines tend to
- 6:17Speaker 1: bleed into different seasons. I just don't want it to
- 6:22Speaker 1: seem as if it's this is hard, finish your words,
- 6:30Speaker 1: that you're good. I don't want it to just come
- 6:35Speaker 1: across like it was a bigger deal. I just I
- 6:43Speaker 1: hope that he concentrates most on being with somebody on
- 6:48Speaker 1: the series, on the season, and less about getting over me,
- 6:50Speaker 1: because in all honesty, I don't think that he was
- 6:54Speaker 1: reeling from our breakup come June, so so and so
- 7:00Speaker 1: I hope he really like he finds someone to be
- 7:03Speaker 1: with because he so deserves it and all he wants
- 7:07Speaker 1: to do is be a dad and a in a husband,
- 7:11Speaker 1: and I know that he's at that point in life
- 7:13Speaker 1: where he's ready for it now actually looking back, because
- 7:17Speaker 1: this is a storyline, it has been brought up looking back. Now,
- 7:21Speaker 1: you're engaged, You're planning a wedding with a great guy,
- 7:25Speaker 1: a wonderful man, one of my favorite men. Literally on
- 7:27Speaker 1: the face of there. When I had my bachelor party,
- 7:30Speaker 1: you gotta remember this. When I had my bachelor party
- 7:33Speaker 1: on the season that Lauren I had, Jared was invited
- 7:36Speaker 1: because I love that man. He's a good dude. And
- 7:39Speaker 1: so you're moving on, You're happy, You're you're you're planning
- 7:41Speaker 1: these stuff, the stuff. What does it feel like to
- 7:44Speaker 1: be pulled back a little bit into this world again? Well,
- 7:49Speaker 1: I just you know, Jared and I are engaged and
- 7:52Speaker 1: I'm gonna be with him forever. So it's kind of
- 7:55Speaker 1: hard to watch for for me to be in in
- 7:58Speaker 1: the storyline of another man in right now. And I
- 8:02Speaker 1: really really hope that he finds someone. I really want
- 8:05Speaker 1: him to be happy. He's going to be He's going
- 8:09Speaker 1: to be a great dad and a great father. And
- 8:12Speaker 1: I think that he believes in this process so much
- 8:15Speaker 1: it might actually turn out this time. Yeah, that's cool,
- 8:20Speaker 1: And you're being so nice and I think, and Ben,
- 8:22Speaker 1: you can say what you think. I think without Kevin,
- 8:26Speaker 1: you wouldn't be where you are. Oh my goodness, Oh
- 8:28Speaker 1: my god, that's so true. Like he helped me grow
- 8:32Speaker 1: so much and he gave me so much relationship experience.
- 8:36Speaker 1: I definitely needed to be with him in order to
- 8:38Speaker 1: get to the place where I am now. And I
- 8:42Speaker 1: I don't know where my life would be if if
- 8:44Speaker 1: he didn't come into the picture. So I'm just I'm
- 8:46Speaker 1: forever thankful. Sarios. You know, as a friend, Ashley and
- 8:50Speaker 1: listeners out there, you're friends of ours, You've been with us.
- 8:54Speaker 1: I mean, it's kind of crazy. I thought about this
- 8:56Speaker 1: the other day. The listeners of this podcast have heard
- 8:59Speaker 1: are ups and downs for a while now. We went
- 9:01Speaker 1: on when our games together. You you've seen both of
- 9:04Speaker 1: our storylines play out, and and they were dramatic story line, mean,
- 9:07Speaker 1: they were really powerful store lines for both of us
- 9:10Speaker 1: that really affected our real life for you, Ashley. Um,
- 9:14Speaker 1: the listeners out there have walked with you through this
- 9:16Speaker 1: up leading up until the day to you know, where
- 9:19Speaker 1: you've met Jared again kind of rekindled this romance and
- 9:22Speaker 1: they were engaged in moving forward. Um are there hard
- 9:27Speaker 1: feelings towards Kevin at all? I mean, like, like Amy
- 9:29Speaker 1: just asked, he's helped you get to this place, and
- 9:32Speaker 1: this place that you're at now is one that you mean.
- 9:35Speaker 1: I'm going to speak for you for a second, but
- 9:38Speaker 1: I couldn't imagine you looking back and thinking life would
- 9:41Speaker 1: end up any place different than where you're at right now.
- 9:45Speaker 1: I mean I always did. I are you saying that
- 9:47Speaker 1: I always thought that I would end up with Jared.
- 9:50Speaker 1: I'm just saying now, not not saying you always thought it.
- 9:53Speaker 1: But now, the place that you're at right now, you
- 9:55Speaker 1: seem content, you seem happy, you seem fulfilled. I would
- 9:59Speaker 1: imagine some of the conversations with you and the way
- 10:02Speaker 1: that your relationship has progressed that if you sat there
- 10:04Speaker 1: in this seat right now and you said where life
- 10:06Speaker 1: is currently, I can't imagine it being any place different.
- 10:10Speaker 1: And Kevin has a piece of that story. Oh totally yeah.
- 10:13Speaker 1: I mean I am in such a great point in
- 10:16Speaker 1: my life that sometimes I'm even like I freak out
- 10:18Speaker 1: because I'm like, it really couldn't get better, so it's
- 10:20Speaker 1: all going to be down here from here, Like I'm like,
- 10:23Speaker 1: I really everything is in its place and I'm so
- 10:25Speaker 1: so happy, But I couldn't. I could not have been
- 10:28Speaker 1: here if it weren't for meeting Kevin. I don't know
- 10:31Speaker 1: what would have unfolded or how much like even this relationship,
- 10:36Speaker 1: you know, my engagement with Jared, who knows how long
- 10:39Speaker 1: it would have taken if he didn't have to push
- 10:41Speaker 1: from Kevin. Everybody kind of needs to thank Kevin in
- 10:45Speaker 1: a weird way. Yeah, Jared even says all the time,
- 10:50Speaker 1: he's like, hey, if it weren't for him, who knows
- 10:52Speaker 1: how long it would have taken me to not realize
- 10:54Speaker 1: his feelings, like said a zillion times, like he realizes feelings,
- 10:57Speaker 1: but he just needed that push the fire under his
- 11:00Speaker 1: but in order to say something, and that made him
- 11:02Speaker 1: say something. So yeah, no, I'm forever grateful. Comes the
- 11:05Speaker 1: elephant in the room. Kevin said, you kissed Jared while
- 11:09Speaker 1: you were still dating Kevin, and I don't even remember,
- 11:12Speaker 1: And I'm like very tight friends with you. What is
- 11:15Speaker 1: the story so, Um, Jared and I. You know, I've
- 11:18Speaker 1: always been like so open with everyone about like all this,
- 11:22Speaker 1: you know, my whole love life for the past three
- 11:24Speaker 1: and a half years. Um, and I was. We were
- 11:27Speaker 1: open about it because I thought it was such a
- 11:29Speaker 1: big part of Jared in my story. That when Jared
- 11:33Speaker 1: did come out about his feelings, it was about exactly
- 11:36Speaker 1: a month from the start of Bachelor Winter Games. So
- 11:40Speaker 1: I had been dating Kevin like out in the real
- 11:42Speaker 1: world for like two or two weeks, and Jared came
- 11:47Speaker 1: out about his feelings and he kissed me in the airport,
- 11:50Speaker 1: and we had mentioned about We had mentioned this before,
- 11:53Speaker 1: like I admitted that I was dating Kevin and Jared
- 11:56Speaker 1: kissed me, And that is true. And whether you call
- 11:59Speaker 1: that you to that is up to you. You know,
- 12:02Speaker 1: by most definitions, it is, um. But it was just
- 12:05Speaker 1: one of those moments of passion, one of those actions,
- 12:07Speaker 1: like he pulled me in and I kissed him back. Yes,
- 12:10Speaker 1: but I never kissed him again until Kevin and I
- 12:15Speaker 1: broke up the day after my birthday. So I think
- 12:20Speaker 1: I think it's fine, fine too, But time out, Ashley.
- 12:24Speaker 1: You gotta dig into this because we haven't talked about
- 12:27Speaker 1: it yet. What did it feel like, I mean, let
- 12:30Speaker 1: our listeners in a little bit, what did it feel
- 12:32Speaker 1: like when Jared pulled you in at that moment? I mean,
- 12:34Speaker 1: you had Kevin, but yet you you remember this car
- 12:39Speaker 1: and I'm sorry, I want to explain this is our
- 12:40Speaker 1: private time as friends that was between us, but we
- 12:44Speaker 1: had a car, I do you and I actually and
- 12:46Speaker 1: you were telling me all this stuff about how you
- 12:49Speaker 1: cared about Kevin, how you he really really want to
- 12:52Speaker 1: invest it into your relationship with Kevin, but you were
- 12:54Speaker 1: confused because it just wasn't there, but you knew it
- 12:57Speaker 1: was something good and Kevin was a great guy, and
- 12:59Speaker 1: that you didn't know what else was out there, but
- 13:01Speaker 1: you knew that you still, like I could see yourself
- 13:04Speaker 1: with Jared, yet at the same time, you didn't want
- 13:06Speaker 1: to admit it, and you were like conflicted, And I
- 13:08Speaker 1: was trying to get you to say, like exactly how
- 13:10Speaker 1: you felt, and sometimes you just can't do it and
- 13:12Speaker 1: you're like, I just don't know. And I could tell
- 13:14Speaker 1: that you were conflicted. Well, the hardest breakups always are
- 13:18Speaker 1: the people who are wonderful, because those are like, I'm sorry,
- 13:22Speaker 1: it's not any You're doing everything right and you're a
- 13:26Speaker 1: wonderful person who takes care of me and obviously cares
- 13:29Speaker 1: deeply about me. But it's just like not there those
- 13:34Speaker 1: a hard breakups, not the ones where they mistreat you
- 13:37Speaker 1: and you're just like, you know, screw you. So I
- 13:39Speaker 1: had like a lot of guilt festering over what I
- 13:43Speaker 1: was going to do with the Kevin thing. Um but yeah, yeah,
- 13:50Speaker 1: but when he pulled me in, to go back to
- 13:52Speaker 1: that question, when he pulled me in the second the
- 13:54Speaker 1: second thing I said, he kissed me, and then I said, um,
- 14:00Speaker 1: I shouldn't have done that. And then I of course
- 14:02Speaker 1: was like overwhelmed with the thoughts of like, well that
- 14:06Speaker 1: felt right. That definitely felt right, but like that was
- 14:10Speaker 1: kind of like cheating and I can't can't believe that
- 14:13Speaker 1: I would ever cheat, and you know, so it was
- 14:17Speaker 1: just it was one kiss a month into know and
- 14:21Speaker 1: Kevin with somebody that I've been really in love with
- 14:24Speaker 1: for two and a half years, and like people will say, oh,
- 14:27Speaker 1: that's cheating and sure, but don't tell me you wouldn't
- 14:30Speaker 1: have gone through it. I mean, come on, guys, Ashley,
- 14:33Speaker 1: I think Amy and Eastern Erica and Ashley Finn the scenes.
- 14:38Speaker 1: All of us can agree and as your as your
- 14:40Speaker 1: friend who cares about you. And I think all of
- 14:44Speaker 1: the listeners out there, I think you're crazy if you
- 14:47Speaker 1: watch this franchise and I think you're crazy. I mean,
- 14:49Speaker 1: the one thing that Ashley has done for all of us,
- 14:51Speaker 1: and some of you have watched and think it's entertainment,
- 14:54Speaker 1: but this is a crazy part about the show is
- 14:56Speaker 1: Ashley's allowed us to get an up close personal look
- 14:59Speaker 1: at her love life. And she's been honest and authentic
- 15:02Speaker 1: and genuine and and very transparent. And it's the whole way.
- 15:06Speaker 1: We've literally seen Ashley stop me if I'm wrong, don't
- 15:09Speaker 1: stop me if I'm right. We've literally seen Ashley's love
- 15:12Speaker 1: story play out now for the last three or four
- 15:14Speaker 1: years in an authentic way. We've seen her growth, We've
- 15:18Speaker 1: seen these relationships start and stop, and the whole time
- 15:22Speaker 1: there's been this guy sitting there, this beautiful piece of
- 15:26Speaker 1: the show that is her, her mate, her person, her
- 15:30Speaker 1: so many and and being somebody's person means a lot
- 15:32Speaker 1: to me. When you say I am your person that
- 15:35Speaker 1: carries a ton of weight, and Ashley has that person
- 15:38Speaker 1: and Jared, and he was there, and it needed that spark,
- 15:41Speaker 1: It needed that push, It needed that that little moment
- 15:44Speaker 1: of saying, I'm gonna lose her and I can't do
- 15:46Speaker 1: it because she's it. That's the person I'm gonna go old. Yeah.
- 15:49Speaker 1: If you go and listen to Jared's podcast help Us
- 15:52Speaker 1: Like a Dating, you'll hear all the times that Jared
- 15:55Speaker 1: says like he was so thankful for the kick in
- 15:58Speaker 1: his butt and like what was going through his head
- 16:00Speaker 1: and why it took him so long to to make
- 16:03Speaker 1: a move. I've been trying to think of like the
- 16:05Speaker 1: right words, but sometimes you you have to do what's
- 16:07Speaker 1: right for you, even if other people don't think it's
- 16:11Speaker 1: quote right right because it took you where you were going. Yeah,
- 16:16Speaker 1: and it's not like it was some frivolous kiss. It
- 16:20Speaker 1: was a very dramatic moment of like passion that happened
- 16:25Speaker 1: once and with my now fiance. So it's like, so
- 16:32Speaker 1: all listeners out there, these are the cool moments for
- 16:35Speaker 1: me um and and Ashley. I know that this is
- 16:39Speaker 1: the moments that transcend the show. We've talked about it
- 16:41Speaker 1: many times before, and the show is super fun to watch.
- 16:44Speaker 1: It's super fun to make fun of the people, and
- 16:46Speaker 1: it's super fun to to live life a curiously through them,
- 16:49Speaker 1: and it's super fun to get to know them personally
- 16:52Speaker 1: and then laugh with them about their crazy antics and
- 16:54Speaker 1: their failures at dating. It's it's the beauty of the show.
- 16:58Speaker 1: But there's moments that transcend the show and become reality.
- 17:01Speaker 1: And Ashley has engaged to the man that she loves
- 17:03Speaker 1: and she cares about and then she'll spend a life
- 17:05Speaker 1: with and I feel similar sentiments, and so the show
- 17:09Speaker 1: becomes very personal at times. Not all the time, but
- 17:11Speaker 1: at times it becomes very personal to me because it
- 17:14Speaker 1: has has defined and marked a huge moment and and
- 17:17Speaker 1: a huge part of my story. And so for anybody
- 17:20Speaker 1: out there listening, I want to close this first segment
- 17:23Speaker 1: with simply this. You watch the show with a lightheart.
- 17:27Speaker 1: Watch it for fun, watch it for entertainment, watch it
- 17:29Speaker 1: because you want to watch these crazy people do crazy
- 17:32Speaker 1: things and date tons of people at once and see
- 17:34Speaker 1: how they do it. But also along the way realized
- 17:38Speaker 1: that true love can exist through and true love can
- 17:41Speaker 1: exist for you out there listening, and it doesn't have
- 17:45Speaker 1: to come through crazy avenues like The Bachelor. But if
- 17:47Speaker 1: it does then know that it's real and Ashley's love
- 17:51Speaker 1: story is real, and she's allowed us to watch it
- 17:53Speaker 1: and listen to it and feel it. And nowadays Ashley
- 17:57Speaker 1: is preparing for a wedding and that is an incredibly beautiful,
- 18:02Speaker 1: beautiful thing. And I want to transition in the most
- 18:04Speaker 1: serious way because I do take this personally. I love
- 18:08Speaker 1: Ashley and Jared at time, um, and Kevin is a
- 18:11Speaker 1: great guy, but they're about to start their lives together
- 18:13Speaker 1: and relationships are hard and marriages are hard, and they're difficult,
- 18:17Speaker 1: and they need our support. And so I take this
- 18:19Speaker 1: personally and saying, let's support Ashley and Jared as a couple.
- 18:23Speaker 1: Let's let's lift them up as saying a success story
- 18:26Speaker 1: and Bachelor Nation, let's thank them for allowing us to
- 18:28Speaker 1: watch the story along the way, and let's wish Kevin
- 18:32Speaker 1: the best and say, Kevin, I hope you find the
- 18:35Speaker 1: most love possible. And Bachelor in Paradise, and with that
- 18:38Speaker 1: we got a transition. Actually, I'm dying over here because
- 18:42Speaker 1: Bachelor in Paradise. The first episode of Bachelor in Paradise
- 18:45Speaker 1: is one of the craziest things I've ever seen. I mean,
- 18:47Speaker 1: it was pure entertainment. There is a stat cast. It's
- 18:52Speaker 1: like an a list Bachelor cast. Anybody waita why, who's
- 18:56Speaker 1: the listeners? Well, we got we got Calton Antia. We
- 19:01Speaker 1: got grocery Store Joe, who was such a big deal
- 19:03Speaker 1: for somebody who only had a Night one appearance. But
- 19:06Speaker 1: he's so adorable and everybody likes him. Everybody in this
- 19:11Speaker 1: cast would probably every girl in this cast would probably
- 19:14Speaker 1: make out with grocery store Joe. He's just adorable. And
- 19:18Speaker 1: then we have Kendall of course run third place in
- 19:22Speaker 1: our season. We have Chris Are the drama queen of
- 19:26Speaker 1: Becca season. We have Kenny King, the most lovable warm
- 19:33Speaker 1: dad that we know from Rachel's season. And um, then
- 19:37Speaker 1: we have of course Chicken and former Chicken and David.
- 19:42Speaker 1: I mean former Chicken is David and his arch nemesis
- 19:46Speaker 1: or so he was back in Becca season, which is
- 19:51Speaker 1: Jordan's who showed up in golden underpants and uh, your
- 19:57Speaker 1: spot on, Ashley. And this is the crazy part about
- 19:59Speaker 1: Bachelor parrot Ice. And so I'm watching this episode and
- 20:02Speaker 1: I have I come in, come in with my judgments, right.
- 20:06Speaker 1: I remember Crystal as being Crystal from our season, the
- 20:09Speaker 1: crazy one, the one that we talked about week over
- 20:11Speaker 1: a week over a week for being crazy. The thing
- 20:14Speaker 1: I love about Paradise, it's kind of like a clean slate, right.
- 20:17Speaker 1: She comes in and people are like bonding of her.
- 20:20Speaker 1: They're they're literally chasing after it because she is beautiful. Chris, Chris,
- 20:24Speaker 1: the crazy one from beccat season comes in the Paradise
- 20:27Speaker 1: and he's a hot commodity. The cool but about Paradise,
- 20:30Speaker 1: I don't know how that happened. I'll say that, well,
- 20:33Speaker 1: it happened, and so you know this from experience. What
- 20:38Speaker 1: is it about Paradise that allows that clean slate? Well,
- 20:41Speaker 1: you know what helps the guys with a clean slate
- 20:44Speaker 1: like Chris are It's that the girls have only seen
- 20:47Speaker 1: two episodes tops going into the filming of Paradise. So
- 20:52Speaker 1: the guys from the previous season they get away with
- 20:55Speaker 1: not having any preconceived notions about them. But then every
- 20:59Speaker 1: guy has the hot girl that he's going for from
- 21:03Speaker 1: the previous Bachelor season? Is that correct? Eric Bigger and
- 21:07Speaker 1: Kenny King who just joined us in studio? What's up? Ben?
- 21:14Speaker 1: He's smoking his pipe? Is his pipe time? He apparently
- 21:17Speaker 1: doesn't inhale. It's late over here. Man, I'm just I'm
- 21:21Speaker 1: plugging away here because you guys keep me up lade
- 21:23Speaker 1: on this Paradise stuff. Um, Eric and Kenny, welcome to
- 21:27Speaker 1: the almost famous podcast. We're just talking and we're gonna
- 21:30Speaker 1: I want to get to know you too a little
- 21:31Speaker 1: bit here and introduce yourselves the podcast. But before we
- 21:34Speaker 1: do that, let's kind of intro it in here by
- 21:36Speaker 1: asking is Bachelor in Paradise a clean slate for the
- 21:40Speaker 1: contestants that come on? Well, uh kind of. I mean,
- 21:46Speaker 1: I think I agree with what Ashley said as far
- 21:48Speaker 1: as like for the the guys or the girls, they
- 21:50Speaker 1: don't get to see uh so much of what the
- 21:53Speaker 1: dudes are really doing and how deep uh they it
- 21:57Speaker 1: gets character wise, it gets to just kind of see, oh,
- 22:00Speaker 1: these guys, they were on the show, and then they
- 22:01Speaker 1: get to kind of just uh pick them apart as
- 22:05Speaker 1: they come. Me personally, I didn't watch uh any of
- 22:08Speaker 1: the shows, so I didn't really have any kind of
- 22:11Speaker 1: preconceived notions about any of the girls or any of
- 22:13Speaker 1: the guys for that matter. I just kinda wanted to
- 22:14Speaker 1: come in and meet them and uh and get to
- 22:16Speaker 1: know them for them outside of you know, how what
- 22:19Speaker 1: their edits were or how they kind of were perceived
- 22:21Speaker 1: on the show. Yeah, I think, Uh, Kenny, I agree.
- 22:25Speaker 1: I think it's a clean slate in general. I mean,
- 22:28Speaker 1: because everybody's coming into Paradise a new person looking for
- 22:31Speaker 1: a new opportunity to find love with a new expirit.
- 22:34Speaker 1: So you can't really go off what you saw on
- 22:36Speaker 1: TV because people grow, people evolve, people become more and
- 22:40Speaker 1: better because you know the stuff they went through on
- 22:43Speaker 1: the Batchelor the BA. Can I be honest with you
- 22:47Speaker 1: guys for a second, Um, I'm asking. That's kind of
- 22:50Speaker 1: a stupid question, like, Hey, can I be honest my
- 22:52Speaker 1: own podcast for a second? Um? Sorry, guys, that's stupid. Anyways,
- 22:57Speaker 1: I have I'm watching this and and Eric, I've met
- 23:01Speaker 1: you in person, Kenny, We've ran into each other once.
- 23:04Speaker 1: But Eric, I got to spend some good time with you,
- 23:05Speaker 1: and I've got to talk to you, and I appreciate
- 23:07Speaker 1: you as a person a ton And this isn't just
- 23:10Speaker 1: going to you, Eric, This isn't to pump you up solely.
- 23:12Speaker 1: But the one thing I appreciate and the one thing
- 23:14Speaker 1: I feel guilty and a little conflicted of watching Bachelor
- 23:18Speaker 1: in Paradise is I watched this, and you guys are
- 23:20Speaker 1: so open to get to know these new contestants. And
- 23:24Speaker 1: I know from my own experience in life that if
- 23:27Speaker 1: I was in Paradise, I would have a hard time,
- 23:31Speaker 1: let's just say, with the Kindles and the Jordan's of
- 23:33Speaker 1: the world, allowing them into my life, because I would
- 23:36Speaker 1: have known who they were on the show. And that's
- 23:38Speaker 1: my own issue. I know that, And it's funny. I
- 23:41Speaker 1: just did a Bible study tonight and I brought this
- 23:44Speaker 1: up that I was convicted watching Paradise of my judgment
- 23:49Speaker 1: and my inability to move forward based on what my
- 23:51Speaker 1: preconceived notions were on people watching Paradise? Am I wrong
- 23:56Speaker 1: in this? Are you guys just that good of dudes
- 23:57Speaker 1: where you can just be like whatever, like you're I'm
- 24:00Speaker 1: just gonna get to know you now, and I could
- 24:01Speaker 1: fall in love with you, become my wife. And even
- 24:04Speaker 1: though I thought you're absolutely crazy during the season, I
- 24:07Speaker 1: watched a p Well, I think for me, I love
- 24:11Speaker 1: people and I'm so curious to know people, um through
- 24:14Speaker 1: good and bad. And I think my whole time in
- 24:16Speaker 1: Paradise was like I don't know everybody here, so let
- 24:19Speaker 1: me just see who they are from my perspective, not
- 24:21Speaker 1: from TV's perspective of the way social media or people
- 24:24Speaker 1: outside looking in sees them. But also it's a chance
- 24:28Speaker 1: for me to connect so they can get to see
- 24:30Speaker 1: who I am. So I think, like I said, it's
- 24:31Speaker 1: a new opportunity to meet some people that like what
- 24:34Speaker 1: we did then when we met each other in the
- 24:35Speaker 1: Winter Games, it was like, this guy is amazing, he's dope. Like,
- 24:38Speaker 1: but I didn't know you. But I heard like, oh,
- 24:40Speaker 1: he's the Bachelor, he's dope, he's a good person. But
- 24:42Speaker 1: I haven't met you, So I wouldn't even know how
- 24:45Speaker 1: to view that unless I was, you know, in your
- 24:47Speaker 1: energy prior to that. So for me, I just see
- 24:49Speaker 1: it as every opportunity to meet someone new and not
- 24:53Speaker 1: going it with your you know, judgment or preconceived notions.
- 24:57Speaker 1: Just let it be what it's supposed to be and
- 24:59Speaker 1: go from there. I think we can all agree that, uh,
- 25:02Speaker 1: the show The Bachelor of the Bachelor, it's a pressure cooker,
- 25:05Speaker 1: and uh it puts people under a lot of pressure,
- 25:08Speaker 1: and I think that for some people it may cause
- 25:12Speaker 1: them to act at a character or or or some
- 25:15Speaker 1: people cause them just to act more like how they
- 25:17Speaker 1: really are. So I kind of feel like for me,
- 25:19Speaker 1: it was just better for me to not really get
- 25:24Speaker 1: caught up in any of that. If I if I
- 25:25Speaker 1: met a Kindle or an Angela or an asteroid to
- 25:28Speaker 1: kind of get an idea of who they are, because
- 25:31Speaker 1: Paradise is is so much more laid back, and you
- 25:34Speaker 1: get to kind of have an idea of this small
- 25:37Speaker 1: talk can can tell you a whole lot about somebody,
- 25:39Speaker 1: so you don't. It's not like the Bachelorette, where man,
- 25:41Speaker 1: I gotta have I got these ten minutes and I
- 25:43Speaker 1: gotta come up with my best game, and I got
- 25:44Speaker 1: me sure she remembers me next week. Every every conversation
- 25:48Speaker 1: could be a dead end or could be, you know,
- 25:51Speaker 1: a new way forward. So I kind of feel like
- 25:53Speaker 1: that's the best way to go about it with no
- 25:55Speaker 1: preconceived notions. You know what, Ben, It's kind of natural
- 25:58Speaker 1: when you get to Paradise, you start seeing like a
- 26:00Speaker 1: whole bunch of people that were almost kind of like
- 26:02Speaker 1: celebrities to you because you only watch them on TV
- 26:05Speaker 1: and you have those preconceived notions. But then give them
- 26:07Speaker 1: a day and you'll realize how much like you were
- 26:11Speaker 1: seeing only one dimension of them and not the full
- 26:15Speaker 1: range like with j J. I was like, there's no
- 26:20Speaker 1: way I'm going to do like j J. He's so repulsive.
- 26:24Speaker 1: And then within a day I was like, j J
- 26:26Speaker 1: kind of like that dude and JJ from Caitlyn season
- 26:29Speaker 1: in the Best. You're right, no, I get it. It's
- 26:32Speaker 1: crazy though. I literally was convicted watching Batchel in Paradise
- 26:35Speaker 1: of my inability to move forward past judgment. So, guys,
- 26:38Speaker 1: thank you for that. And the girls are all looking
- 26:40Speaker 1: at best And one of the reasons they're looking at
- 26:43Speaker 1: best is because of mod Cloth. That's true. I mean, Ashley,
- 26:46Speaker 1: you gotta agree, MyD Cloth is an incredible, incredible sponsor
- 26:51Speaker 1: for this podcast. Autumn has arrived at mod Cloth. Ashley,
- 26:54Speaker 1: you're pumped about it. Tell us why I am because
- 26:57Speaker 1: Modcloth is well. First off, when it comes to para, guys,
- 27:00Speaker 1: Modercloth is the place that I would go if I
- 27:03Speaker 1: wanted some cute, flirty sun dresses. They have like the
- 27:07Speaker 1: most like old school like fifties and forties style dresses,
- 27:10Speaker 1: like you'll feel like Ali in the Notebook. But I
- 27:13Speaker 1: am really excited about their fall season, which has stuff
- 27:16Speaker 1: like tweed blazers and Corter right jumpers, also bold stilettos,
- 27:21Speaker 1: those rich textures you know, like a boot, a nice
- 27:23Speaker 1: leather patent leather texture. And then what's so great about

- 27:58Speaker 1: It pleats out, it's hugs me right here at the
- 28:01Speaker 1: waist to where I always feel like my strong spot
- 28:04Speaker 1: of my body is my waist, and then it covers
- 28:07Speaker 1: the thunder thighs. I'm gonna say I agree, but then
- 28:10Speaker 1: you have to no. It's so cute. They have the
- 28:15Speaker 1: cutest prince like like they'll have little birds or dinosaurs

- 28:52Speaker 1: back to the guys here in the studio. They are
- 28:54Speaker 1: looking DApp or speaking of clothes books. They just came
- 28:58Speaker 1: straight from after the final row. Us. Yeah, can you
- 29:01Speaker 1: tell us how did you see Blake behind the scenes
- 29:04Speaker 1: at all? No, not behind the scenes, but just uh,
- 29:08Speaker 1: I mean getting watching him and kind of watching it
- 29:11Speaker 1: as it was happening and watching him watch himself as
- 29:15Speaker 1: as all I was going on. I really felt for him. Um,
- 29:18Speaker 1: you know you could really kind of tell that. I mean,
- 29:21Speaker 1: Blake was completely head over heels Rebecca and uh and
- 29:25Speaker 1: it it fell for him because he was really sure,
- 29:28Speaker 1: you know, he had that that surety and he was
- 29:30Speaker 1: he didn't even think there was for a minute that
- 29:33Speaker 1: it wasn't going to be him, and that added him
- 29:36Speaker 1: Mart It was. It was definitely an emotional moment. Yeah,
- 29:39Speaker 1: I think up from watching this general from women choosing man,
- 29:44Speaker 1: I feel like most women want to challenge, and I
- 29:47Speaker 1: feel like Blake there was no challenges for her. It
- 29:52Speaker 1: was like, oh, he's there, he's safe. I know he's there.
- 29:56Speaker 1: But Garrett over here is different. I like him in
- 30:00Speaker 1: to him, but there's like a cloud over here. So
- 30:03Speaker 1: this is more compelling because Blake is for sure like
- 30:07Speaker 1: he's there. Yeah, I think that's what I learned, you know,
- 30:10Speaker 1: just in general, like you know, being nice all the
- 30:12Speaker 1: time and being a good person to women, like it's great,
- 30:14Speaker 1: but sometimes a little bit of edge, a little bit
- 30:16Speaker 1: of challenge goes goes goes along because they need that
- 30:20Speaker 1: resistance or challenge to make it better than just oh
- 30:23Speaker 1: we're constant, we're consistent, this is fixed. This is nice
- 30:26Speaker 1: because maybe they'll get bored. But I just think she
- 30:29Speaker 1: picked the right person. You know you do so, so
- 30:32Speaker 1: do you guys feel stronger chemistry just in person watching
- 30:35Speaker 1: she and Garrett interact, if it feels uh, it feels
- 30:40Speaker 1: like a like a TV love story, you know what
- 30:42Speaker 1: I mean? And you watched them when you watch him
- 30:45Speaker 1: talk about her, when you when you just look at
- 30:46Speaker 1: the way that I was just looking at the little
- 30:48Speaker 1: things when she's sitting next to him, she's grabbing his
- 30:50Speaker 1: arm and and just a little intangibles to touching that
- 30:53Speaker 1: you can feel when people are really really into and
- 30:55Speaker 1: really really love with one another. So you could I
- 30:58Speaker 1: was watching Eric just in the two, just in the
- 31:01Speaker 1: differences between her date with Garrett and the date with Blake.
- 31:05Speaker 1: There was some some serious body language tells that you
- 31:09Speaker 1: could see. You could see she was all it was
- 31:12Speaker 1: completely night and day with Garrett and Blake, especially those
- 31:15Speaker 1: last two weeks. She brought up the dad thing with Garrett.
- 31:18Speaker 1: And I also think with Blake had with Becca, was
- 31:21Speaker 1: there like best friends, you know, and I feel like
- 31:24Speaker 1: they was so good with each other. It's like yes, yes, yes,
- 31:27Speaker 1: but it's like she might need more and not saying
- 31:30Speaker 1: he couldn't get it at the time, but just Garrett
- 31:32Speaker 1: was there, and I felt like that's what happened, was
- 31:36Speaker 1: he was more of best friends. They loved each other,
- 31:39Speaker 1: but it was like, you know, Garrett is my guy,
- 31:41Speaker 1: but I still love you, you know, let's talk about
- 31:46Speaker 1: your guys love stories. Uh yeah, I was gonna say,
- 31:51Speaker 1: are there am I hearing crickets? Or does something maybe
- 31:54Speaker 1: happen with one of you on Bachelor in Paradise. We
- 31:57Speaker 1: didn't see much action from either one of you episode one, Like,
- 32:01Speaker 1: we have no idea who you may be hooking up
- 32:04Speaker 1: with or maybe crushing on at the moment. Can you
- 32:06Speaker 1: give us a little insight, man, you gotta watch. Paradise
- 32:09Speaker 1: was nice. I mean, it's a miracle season people. One
- 32:12Speaker 1: thing that Eric and I laugh about in Paradise is
- 32:15Speaker 1: that anything can change in Paradise. Everything changes so fast,
- 32:19Speaker 1: and what a difference to day makes and you get
- 32:22Speaker 1: to see how people are when things are different. But
- 32:24Speaker 1: you must move with the cheese, moving with the cheese.
- 32:27Speaker 1: Who moved my cheese? That old books with the cheese?
- 32:31Speaker 1: That became a very paramount statement in Paradise because it's like,
- 32:35Speaker 1: it's it's very true. You know, things change so quickly
- 32:38Speaker 1: in Paradise and if you just if you're not able
- 32:41Speaker 1: to adapt and flow, and then you find yourself on
- 32:43Speaker 1: the outside looking in. Give us a little bit of
- 32:46Speaker 1: a teaser about what happens with Colton and this army
- 32:49Speaker 1: that is just coming after him once he comes home.
- 32:53Speaker 1: Great guy, Uh, he has a lot on his plate
- 32:56Speaker 1: and things happen, but you must watch it. It's so
- 33:01Speaker 1: so good. I can say this. Uh. Coming in and
- 33:04Speaker 1: just hearing about Colton and hearing the Colton story, uh,
- 33:10Speaker 1: and then actually meeting Colton and talking to Colton changed
- 33:13Speaker 1: my whole mind and changing my whole perspective on the
- 33:15Speaker 1: whole story and gave me a little bit more, give
- 33:19Speaker 1: me a little more compassion for the Colton thing. Because
- 33:22Speaker 1: coming in from one way, it's all like, oh, this
- 33:24Speaker 1: dude and dada da da dada. But you know, there's
- 33:26Speaker 1: always two sides of the story. So hearing hearing it
- 33:28Speaker 1: from Colton, uh, and getting from his perspective, it might
- 33:31Speaker 1: change a lot of your opinions about it too. Can
- 33:33Speaker 1: you tell us a little bit? Uh, it's changed your
- 33:36Speaker 1: perspective because it's just especially what happened with like Tia.
- 33:41Speaker 1: And and I'll make it easier on you because I
- 33:45Speaker 1: felt a lot of sympathy for Tia. I know a
- 33:48Speaker 1: lot of people are gonna be like, oh my god, girl,
- 33:50Speaker 1: move on. Um, he's probably just not that into you.
- 33:55Speaker 1: And you can you know you're going to paradise. You're
- 33:57Speaker 1: supposed to data on in paradise. Isn't that the point?
- 33:59Speaker 1: I as the girl who had blinders on in Paradise,
- 34:03Speaker 1: and I see no problem with that. If you know
- 34:06Speaker 1: you're into somebody, then pursue that there's no need to
- 34:10Speaker 1: like go around and like try to find a connection
- 34:13Speaker 1: if you already feel in your heart you have one.
- 34:16Speaker 1: I mean, I think, I mean, I support you, ah Ash,
- 34:19Speaker 1: you know that you went into it knowing that you
- 34:21Speaker 1: like Jared. I think it's a little different. I'm a
- 34:26Speaker 1: little bit confused at how I mean, because of TIA's
- 34:30Speaker 1: involvement until into this last season. To the Bechel, she
- 34:33Speaker 1: stepped into the season asked Becca to kind of break
- 34:37Speaker 1: up with Colden. He comes on Paradise and here here's
- 34:41Speaker 1: the difference. That's one difference. The second that is a difference.
- 34:45Speaker 1: She's really yeah, actually did do that. And I think
- 34:49Speaker 1: as a fan of the show watching her move on
- 34:53Speaker 1: with um, shoot Chris and saying, hey, I've moved Dawn.
- 35:00Speaker 1: This is great, this is awesome, and all of a
- 35:03Speaker 1: sudden cooling comes on and it's all over again for me.
- 35:07Speaker 1: Now you have to take in Chris's feelings into consideration
- 35:10Speaker 1: and you go, now, somebody else's her. I feel like
- 35:13Speaker 1: that was drunk Tia like on a date being like,
- 35:16Speaker 1: you know what I'm trying to Yeah, I think you know,
- 35:19Speaker 1: I know. It was a mental state that she was in.
- 35:22Speaker 1: She was like, everybody, just forget everybody's making My thing
- 35:26Speaker 1: was this When she went to Becca and said, look,
- 35:30Speaker 1: I'm cool on the situation. Uh, you know, you have
- 35:34Speaker 1: my blessing. We all and then you know, and then
- 35:38Speaker 1: to then come back you know that to me, Um,
- 35:43Speaker 1: that wasn't cool. I mean that that's just right now.
- 35:47Speaker 1: Let's just be honest. We know so much intrigue. I
- 35:50Speaker 1: gotta ask these questions. I'm dying to ask these. I'm
- 35:53Speaker 1: a huge fan of Bachelor in Paradise. You guys all
- 35:55Speaker 1: know this. Actually, I would literally spend a whole podcast
- 35:58Speaker 1: asking you like questions about Bachelor in Paradise, Um, Eric
- 36:03Speaker 1: and Kenny. When something like this happens when you're in Paradise,
- 36:08Speaker 1: how do you handle it? Because what we see it's
- 36:11Speaker 1: kind of the the attack on Colton, Um. But this
- 36:16Speaker 1: isn't like, this isn't normal. This world isn't normal. You
- 36:20Speaker 1: have to kind of navigate it and feel, you know,
- 36:21Speaker 1: kind of I guess, choose what battles you want to fight?
- 36:25Speaker 1: TA like you're saying, Kenny, actions on the Bachelorette um
- 36:31Speaker 1: crossed over to Paradise, so you see this happening, then
- 36:35Speaker 1: you're in paradise with them. How do you handle or
- 36:38Speaker 1: just stay away? I mean me, I'm just so curious
- 36:41Speaker 1: because everybody had these stories and personas of who Colton
- 36:45Speaker 1: was and who he is, and I was like, I
- 36:46Speaker 1: want to talk to the guy. I want to know
- 36:48Speaker 1: what he has to say, what he's going through, what
- 36:50Speaker 1: is he feeling. And so hearing his side of the
- 36:52Speaker 1: story and talking to Tea getting to know her, and
- 36:53Speaker 1: I said, Okay, I see what's going on here. And honestly,
- 36:57Speaker 1: they both put this off in the foot because I said,
- 37:00Speaker 1: gets Culton's calmer, like before the show. He reached out
- 37:04Speaker 1: some way, somehow him and she says that she slid
- 37:07Speaker 1: into his m evil or they were in the wrong
- 37:10Speaker 1: based on everything that went down, and I think it
- 37:13Speaker 1: backfired and that's what really happened. I think it was
- 37:16Speaker 1: weird that Colton came down the stairs and didn't go
- 37:20Speaker 1: right to Tea. That is the only thing I did.
- 37:23Speaker 1: He wait so long to say hey, and then he
- 37:25Speaker 1: just literally doesn't even say hi. It's just like here's
- 37:29Speaker 1: a day card, like what really happened you guys? You guys,
- 37:34Speaker 1: did he really you know? In the episode, he just
- 37:37Speaker 1: says he doesn't even talk to Tia, he doesn't make
- 37:39Speaker 1: eye contact or anything, and she's like really upset that
- 37:42Speaker 1: he didn't make eye time attact. And then all of
- 37:43Speaker 1: a sudden he talks to multiple girls and then he
- 37:45Speaker 1: comes by t and he goes, hey, do you want
- 37:47Speaker 1: to go on the state with me? Without even having
- 37:48Speaker 1: a one on one chat? So is that how it
- 37:50Speaker 1: really went down? So what I'll say was the truth.
- 38:00Speaker 1: I pay attention to detail, and I pay attention to
- 38:02Speaker 1: body language. So in that moment, I was confused as
- 38:06Speaker 1: well because I was trying to figure out how real
- 38:09Speaker 1: was it? How real is it? What's going on? But
- 38:12Speaker 1: I still don't have information to really know. You weren't
- 38:15Speaker 1: there watching everything? Well, I'm just saying prior to him
- 38:18Speaker 1: coming in, I don't know. Okay, but did he not
- 38:20Speaker 1: have one on one time with her? Did he have
- 38:22Speaker 1: one of these? Alright? So it was you have nothing
- 38:29Speaker 1: to lose. People listen to this podcast, all of which
- 38:33Speaker 1: love and care about you guys. Deeply, I think nothing.
- 38:38Speaker 1: I think Colton was put in a bad spot. Um
- 38:40Speaker 1: initially because, like I said, we're all coming in having
- 38:45Speaker 1: one view of this whole situation. We're getting from you know,
- 38:48Speaker 1: Tia and the girls and and this, and it's just
- 38:50Speaker 1: kind of like all right. So then he comes down
- 38:52Speaker 1: and he doesn't do those sorts of things, So everybody's
- 38:54Speaker 1: red flags. Why wouldn't you do this? Why wouldn't do that? Um?
- 38:59Speaker 1: I can't speak to why he did what he did, UM,
- 39:03Speaker 1: but I think that it was just too I mean, ultimately,
- 39:07Speaker 1: I don't think Colton had any intentions of talking to
- 39:10Speaker 1: anybody or really focusing on anybody but Tia. But I
- 39:13Speaker 1: think yeah, for you Angela, Angela, he was all over
- 39:20Speaker 1: Why you know, I don't see all of that, but
- 39:22Speaker 1: I see that very pretty. Hey, what do you guys
- 39:28Speaker 1: think of Angela? Real quick? Angela's she's she's an undercover hottie, Like,
- 39:33Speaker 1: we don't know who she is? Are you with her?
- 39:36Speaker 1: We're going to find out who the heck? She's silent
- 39:38Speaker 1: assassin Angela. I love it. I just had to say
- 39:41Speaker 1: one thing more. If it really went down the way
- 39:45Speaker 1: it looked on TV, Colton is showing interest in multiple
- 39:48Speaker 1: girls like Kendall, Angela, and then all of a sudden
- 39:51Speaker 1: hands Tia the day card without anyone on one time.
- 39:53Speaker 1: My theory is that he went in with the intention
- 39:57Speaker 1: of ignoring Tia completely, and then somebody whispered an you're
- 40:00Speaker 1: you're gonna look real bad if you don't take care
- 40:02Speaker 1: on the date car take her on this day seemed
- 40:07Speaker 1: to be a one. As a viewer, if I had
- 40:10Speaker 1: to judge between who is looking worse right now, I'm
- 40:15Speaker 1: going to she look my heart I like to, but
- 40:20Speaker 1: as a viewer, she looks cuckoo right. Relate. We haven't
- 40:28Speaker 1: got chat for a second. Can we can we crowd
- 40:32Speaker 1: this in for a second and talk with men. I
- 40:35Speaker 1: don't know how you guys do it. I mean, I'm
- 40:37Speaker 1: watching the show and there's so many beautiful people there.
- 40:40Speaker 1: There's a reason I don't go on the show, because
- 40:42Speaker 1: I get there and I'd start spinning in circles on
- 40:44Speaker 1: that beach, looking around, going I don't know how to
- 40:46Speaker 1: make a step forward any in any direction, because there's
- 40:48Speaker 1: beautiful people everywhere. I don't get it. You two are
- 40:52Speaker 1: great men because you went into it focused, um, considered
- 40:57Speaker 1: your options, and invested your time for me. I did
- 41:00Speaker 1: my job. My jaw would have hit the ground or
- 41:02Speaker 1: hit the beach. I guess I should say from the
- 41:04Speaker 1: very beginning, I don't know if I could have picked
- 41:06Speaker 1: it up. Since there's some beautiful people in this season,
- 41:08Speaker 1: you guys are lucky man. Good for you. Um. You
- 41:11Speaker 1: know what else would be really lucky for you is
- 41:14Speaker 1: if you could take one of these girls on a
- 41:16Speaker 1: trip around the world. Could you do that? Why you
- 41:19Speaker 1: want to do maybe the Vegas a turn the backyard,
- 41:25Speaker 1: But I mean, I think you that's that's the best
- 41:28Speaker 1: way that you can figure out your potential with the
- 41:31Speaker 1: mate is to travel with them to see the new things,
- 41:33Speaker 1: and to experience new new things, eat new foods, and
- 41:36Speaker 1: just kind of see how they how they handle that.
- 41:39Speaker 1: So if you travel with somebody and you're going around
- 41:42Speaker 1: the world and in four or five days, you're like,
- 41:44Speaker 1: just get back home. I think, Jenny, what if I
- 41:48Speaker 1: told you I had the option for you to do that.
- 41:50Speaker 1: I mean, it's right there in front of you. It's

- 44:01Speaker 1: I'm in Um, gentlemen, I know we have some of
- 44:06Speaker 1: your friends coming on the podcast here in a little bit. Uh.
- 44:08Speaker 1: This is a stacked podcast full of Bachelor in Paradise contestants.
- 44:12Speaker 1: What differed from in your opinion, from Paradise to your
- 44:18Speaker 1: experience on the Bachelorette. I just thought, Uh, Bachelor in
- 44:24Speaker 1: Paradise was just so much more relaxed, and the pace
- 44:28Speaker 1: of it was just kind of at your own pace.
- 44:30Speaker 1: You know, you can get up, run on the beach, equacamole,
- 44:34Speaker 1: you know you do. You can kind of do it
- 44:36Speaker 1: as you wanted to do it. And with the Bachelorette,
- 44:39Speaker 1: it was just like, Okay, Uh, if you're not on
- 44:42Speaker 1: a date, you're at home. But if you're on a date,
- 44:43Speaker 1: you're on you gotta do this, you gotta find out, Okay,
- 44:45Speaker 1: how how can I make myself stand out? How can
- 44:46Speaker 1: I do this? How can I you know, maximize my daytime?
- 44:50Speaker 1: With Paradise, it's just about finding those easy conversations and
- 44:53Speaker 1: and and where is it? Where's your best connection at?
- 44:56Speaker 1: And that's that's kind of what going back to the
- 44:57Speaker 1: Colton thing, I think that's that's the name of Paradise, right,
- 45:00Speaker 1: that's the name of the game. You have to talk
- 45:01Speaker 1: to everybody. You have to kind of explore your connections
- 45:04Speaker 1: and see who makes you laugh and where the easy
- 45:06Speaker 1: connections are. Otherwise, uh, if you come in with tunnel vision,
- 45:10Speaker 1: I mean, not everybody gets me. It's like Actuley, But uh,
- 45:13Speaker 1: you know it can it can severely hamper you. I
- 45:16Speaker 1: think in your Paradise gaming strategy. Ye, well there's not
- 45:21Speaker 1: a strategy means, you know, the Batchelorette, like the time
- 45:25Speaker 1: is limited, right, So on Paradise, you gets so much
- 45:29Speaker 1: time with the person, like I'm getting to so much
- 45:31Speaker 1: deep information, like right away because I have so much time.
- 45:34Speaker 1: One thing I realize is that Parade it's more real
- 45:38Speaker 1: than real life because here's the thing. In real life,
- 45:40Speaker 1: you're texting. No one really talks on the phone. Everyone,
- 45:43Speaker 1: let's go get a drink. No one is like really
- 45:45Speaker 1: having deep intimate conversations. And you're spending that much time together.
- 45:49Speaker 1: So it's like it's more in your face, it's more real.
- 45:52Speaker 1: It's more like, yes, we don't do this back home, right.
- 45:57Speaker 1: And that's what people who might be watched they don't
- 46:00Speaker 1: know is that we spent so much time together. I
- 46:02Speaker 1: mean you probably spent I probably spent the total of
- 46:05Speaker 1: three hours or six I don't know, three hours, six
- 46:08Speaker 1: hours with Rachel. I don't know that. But buddy, you
- 46:12Speaker 1: are nice. Spent like hours days from working out to
- 46:16Speaker 1: having man chats to moving with Jeez, talking about Mackenzie
- 46:20Speaker 1: and life. I mean, just you grow. It's just in
- 46:24Speaker 1: a different way because you have time. That's the difference.
- 46:28Speaker 1: And it's a great place. And I'm going to have
- 46:30Speaker 1: I have a fast round of questions for you guys.
- 46:33Speaker 1: Are you ready? No, no explanations, just boom answer. Okay,
- 46:39Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna Kenny's gonna go first, and then

- 48:11Speaker 1: biggest nerd? Sunscreen everything? Lemons? I was just like, what
- 48:16Speaker 1: Jordan is? I mean, Jordan was a guy that I
- 48:18Speaker 1: remember packing for Paradise and watching an episode of the
- 48:21Speaker 1: Bacherette and like having to stop what I was doing
- 48:24Speaker 1: and look at the TV, like is this a real person? Um?
- 48:27Speaker 1: But he's just such a nerd. He's I love him.
- 48:30Speaker 1: He's just he says what he means. He's a he's
- 48:32Speaker 1: an upfront fund dude, and he just can't this craziest
- 48:35Speaker 1: stuff comes out of his mouth. I was gonna say,
- 48:39Speaker 1: who surprised you the most? That sounds like Jordan's. I
- 48:42Speaker 1: didn't know him before, but I will say he is
- 48:46Speaker 1: like that. Like it's like this guy is so confident
- 48:51Speaker 1: and leaves in what he's saying to a fault sometimes,
- 48:55Speaker 1: but he's so cool. He's such a good person. He's
- 48:59Speaker 1: not a bad guy. I did not think that I
- 49:00Speaker 1: was going to get down with Jordan's but just talking
- 49:03Speaker 1: to him and just Jordan's a cool cat. He sounds
- 49:05Speaker 1: like the J J. Bachelor in Paradise. To last question,
- 49:09Speaker 1: other than each other, who was your best friend in Paradise? Boy? Uh,
- 49:15Speaker 1: we had a lot of best friends. Yeah, yeah, I
- 49:17Speaker 1: mean the Rose Boys always hang tough like Rose Boys.

- 51:53Speaker 1: And Kue, thank you. Well, you guys just came, you know,
- 51:58Speaker 1: straight from after the final rows and I'm here just
- 52:00Speaker 1: like you know, slapped on some mascara. But anyway, both
- 52:05Speaker 1: of you had quite a storyline in episode one, analyse
- 52:10Speaker 1: Jordan was coming hard for you. He got coming hot,
- 52:14Speaker 1: not hard it. Did you watch Jordan's the first couple
- 52:24Speaker 1: of episodes of Becca season No, So I actually had
- 52:27Speaker 1: only seen him on the first episode and that was it.
- 52:30Speaker 1: That was it, and then I left for Paradis. So
- 52:32Speaker 1: I didn't know anything about him except for that first
- 52:35Speaker 1: that first impression, that first night. So I was definitely
- 52:39Speaker 1: a skeptical because the first night he was a little coogo.
- 52:42Speaker 1: The first night. Yeah, I mean, there's like a lot
- 52:44Speaker 1: of socks talk and that's like it was like a
- 52:46Speaker 1: big fashion I mean, there was like a lot of
- 52:48Speaker 1: fashion that went on throughout with the model and stuff,
- 52:51Speaker 1: but like it was a heavy fashion night. So come out,
- 52:54Speaker 1: come out before we continue. I'm not gonna step in
- 52:57Speaker 1: here too often because actually loves Paradise. I love Paradise,
- 53:00Speaker 1: but I'm just like a big fan and watch it
- 53:03Speaker 1: as like contestant or either. If you engaged to Jordan before,
- 53:07Speaker 1: you don't have to watch right, this is ridiculous. I'm
- 53:13Speaker 1: gonna sorry. I asked him to pose some angles or something.
- 53:18Speaker 1: They're like, show me some angles or show me some
- 53:20Speaker 1: modeling somebody in the episode, so they don't even know
- 53:23Speaker 1: they haven't seen it, only we've seen it. Yeah, well,
- 53:27Speaker 1: how so how did you deal with the whole like
- 53:30Speaker 1: Jordan coming on so strong? Um so, I actually I
- 53:33Speaker 1: just took it very flattering. Um. I was just trying
- 53:36Speaker 1: to I was just trying to take it all in.
- 53:38Speaker 1: I kept thinking myself, like I'm single for a reason,
- 53:40Speaker 1: so I need to just be open to like anyone
- 53:42Speaker 1: and everyone. And Jordan was that anyone or everyone, And
- 53:46Speaker 1: I was being very open. But I was also like
- 53:49Speaker 1: I thought it was I thought the whole time, like
- 53:51Speaker 1: I thought it was one big joke and it might
- 53:53Speaker 1: still be. I'm not totally shut, but he's just that
- 53:55Speaker 1: kind of guy you can't ever know. Yeah, I just
- 53:57Speaker 1: didn't know what was genuine and what wasn't. But I
- 54:00Speaker 1: will say, like, I do think he is a good guy,
- 54:04Speaker 1: but I definitely was like skeptical of of what where
- 54:08Speaker 1: these feelings were coming from and why he was coming
- 54:10Speaker 1: on so strong. Who did you come in with being
- 54:13Speaker 1: on your would like to be their list? Yes, I
- 54:22Speaker 1: mean there was a couple of people that I was
- 54:23Speaker 1: hoping to see and drop them all. I feel like
- 54:27Speaker 1: there was like three guys really from Becca season that
- 54:29Speaker 1: I was hopeful to see, and that was Joe Joe.
- 54:32Speaker 1: I was going to say grocery store Joe, but apparently
- 54:34Speaker 1: I slurned out. And then also especially the Um and
- 54:41Speaker 1: Camille and Leo. Those were like the three They all
- 54:45Speaker 1: show up, don't they? Who knows? Um? Yeah, so those
- 54:51Speaker 1: are the three that I was hopeful to see. Okay
- 54:53Speaker 1: and Angela, who are you hoping to see? Everybody was
- 54:56Speaker 1: hoping to see you. Everybody was Maybe actually people weren't
- 55:00Speaker 1: hoping to see you, but they were pleasantly surprised when
- 55:02Speaker 1: they did see don't you feel like you were so
- 55:06Speaker 1: sought after? I feel okay, awesome, Yeah. I feel like
- 55:09Speaker 1: my kind of advantage going in was, you know, nobody
- 55:12Speaker 1: really did know who I was. I couldn't have any
- 55:14Speaker 1: like preconceived, like expectations from anybody. I didn't go in
- 55:18Speaker 1: there with like a reputation, you know what I mean.
- 55:20Speaker 1: So I feel like that was probably an advantage for me.
- 55:23Speaker 1: I was just like the new girl almost and everybody
- 55:25Speaker 1: kind of had to get to know me. Are you
- 55:27Speaker 1: who the heck am I? How are you when you're
- 55:30Speaker 1: from Nick season? From nixt season? I went home night one,
- 55:34Speaker 1: I'm home night I was a bachelor at one point, Angela,
- 55:41Speaker 1: what are you going home on night one? I mean,
- 55:44Speaker 1: I don't know, we need to get some answers. I
- 55:46Speaker 1: feel like, you know, when Nick and I had a conversation,
- 55:48Speaker 1: it was very very short, you know, it was maybe
- 55:50Speaker 1: a minute long, and it just we didn't really like connect.
- 55:54Speaker 1: It was kind of hard to have a conversation, and
- 55:56Speaker 1: it was a little bit later in the night, and
- 55:58Speaker 1: I don't know, I mean, I feel like a lot
- 55:59Speaker 1: of people were shocked. I was too, but going in,
- 56:01Speaker 1: I kind of had this feeling that I was either
- 56:03Speaker 1: gonna go home night one or I was going to
- 56:05Speaker 1: make it to the end. I just had this weird,
- 56:07Speaker 1: weird feeling. So obviously I all know, we all know
- 56:11Speaker 1: what happened. I went home night one, and yeah, I
- 56:13Speaker 1: was a little bit bummed because I was, you know,
- 56:14Speaker 1: going in there, I really really, really am open to
- 56:17Speaker 1: this process. You know, I want a relationship. That was
- 56:21Speaker 1: my goal going in. So you know, as I was disappointed,
- 56:23Speaker 1: of course, were shocked when they that was my question.
- 56:27Speaker 1: You and I did we know what to things? But
- 56:30Speaker 1: holy moly, you must have been like, why do you
- 56:32Speaker 1: want you know, let's get some answers from me. Huh.
- 56:39Speaker 1: How was surprised for you when you got the phone call?
- 56:41Speaker 1: It they wanted you for not last season to paradise,
- 56:43Speaker 1: but this season. Well, interestingly enough, last season, you know
- 56:48Speaker 1: it was in the talk um for me to go,
- 56:50Speaker 1: and then you know, some things went down and maybe
- 56:54Speaker 1: you were supposed to go. Yeah yeah, but I'm actually
- 56:58Speaker 1: so so so happy that that did don't work out
- 57:00Speaker 1: last season because this season I felt like it was
- 57:03Speaker 1: sent to be. This season is a good one. This season, right,
- 57:07Speaker 1: I have no idea what you're talking about them? All right,
- 57:15Speaker 1: tell us a little bit more. Who the heck are you? Like?
- 57:17Speaker 1: Where are you from? We don't know anything about. Okay, well,
- 57:19Speaker 1: I'm originally from Maryland, but I live in South Carolina
- 57:22Speaker 1: now part of Maryland, Western Maryland. Okay, I'm from northern Virginia.
- 57:26Speaker 1: Are you right? Okay, Cumberland? Have you heard? Okay? Yeah,
- 57:28Speaker 1: I actually went out there for a concert years. Yeah.
- 57:33Speaker 1: It was like randomly at the car all right, wait, wait,
- 57:36Speaker 1: who listened Josh Grayson concert? He was on the generating
- 57:48Speaker 1: stuck in the middle of this podcast actually gets listening
- 57:54Speaker 1: sorority girls. Listening girls wait for people listening that are like,
- 57:59Speaker 1: who the heck is this person? How do they like? Look,
- 58:02Speaker 1: what's your last name? How they google you? Like, that's
- 58:04Speaker 1: your Instagram? My last name is a mask? That's harder
- 58:08Speaker 1: than let me help you, angela. How do you spell
- 58:12Speaker 1: your last name? A? M E Z C you A.
- 58:17Speaker 1: But to make things easier, all of my social media
- 58:20Speaker 1: is at and K seven and it's K A Y.
- 58:26Speaker 1: That's much easier and K seven look it up there. Alright, alright, alright,
- 58:31Speaker 1: how old are you? And who is your Who is
- 58:34Speaker 1: your celebrity crush, my celebrity crush. Um. I would have
- 58:39Speaker 1: to say, it's this guy that nobody really knows. Probably
- 58:47Speaker 1: he is Um. He's on a new show now called
- 58:50Speaker 1: The Resident, but his name. I'm sorry, just something about
- 58:57Speaker 1: him that you're like, nobody knows who don't mean it,
- 58:59Speaker 1: like um, I know every episode like Gilmore Girls, I
- 59:02Speaker 1: know every episode of Good Wife or he is Yeah,
- 59:12Speaker 1: when he was young, very ung. He did hate boss
- 59:15Speaker 1: work at him. Okay, he makes voice like mad Zukree
- 59:22Speaker 1: is everything. And I have been saying this since the
- 59:25Speaker 1: like my friend, my friend Leslie has worked with mad
- 59:31Speaker 1: Zukrie for a while and I literally email her constantly.
- 59:34Speaker 1: That's degrees everything, Mads degrees everything that degrees. I mean,
- 59:38Speaker 1: it's it's random, but a good Okay. So we had
- 59:43Speaker 1: Kenny and Eric in here and we were debating the
- 59:45Speaker 1: whole Tea and Culton thing. I have a lot of
- 59:47Speaker 1: sympathy for Tia because I always went into Paradise with
- 59:51Speaker 1: blinders on, knowing who I wanted to be there and
- 59:53Speaker 1: not caring about anyone else and wanting to say screw
- 59:58Speaker 1: you to everybody who said, actually, just open your eyes
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: to other options. Maybe somebody else will walk in, and
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: I'm like, anyway, from a girl's point of view, I
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: want to see what you guys thought of her, kind
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: of like clinging onto the idea of Colton. Hey, guys,
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: before you answer this real quick, I gotta pause. I
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: don't want to step in. I don't get involved in
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: pop culture very often, but you know who I'm seeing this.
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: I'm googling pictures of Zack Z Gray, which has taken
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: me into some weird, weird places. You know who I
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: see in this, and then we can end it. I
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: don't even want any follow upon. This guy looks like
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: the next dude that should be on that fifty Shades
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: a Gray show, Like, he looks like a fifty Shades
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: a Great character. Maybe that's why I like, he looks
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: like a dude that would want to like leather you
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: up and from the well, that's just weird that you
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: said that, because I said it look like Charlie Huntman.
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: Charlie hunt was Christian Gray. Yeah, anyway, sorry, sorry for
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: derailing the podcast. My intention here, but all I could
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: see in this dude was like, hey, I look into
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: sit when I cleaned, when I shaved my ace. I
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: looked twelve, but I'm not twelve, and so deep down
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: I want to hang you from my ceiling anyways, so
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: you can go ahead and say it. Whenever they were like, oh,
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: what's your type, and whenever, I was like, I need
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: a mix of Christian Gray and Noah from the notebook,
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: Like I need somebody who was like confident, like the personality,
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: but also like love letters. That's a good makes sense, right, Yeah, okay, Well,
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: speaking of that combo, what was the question? Yeah, I
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: mean I think I personally feel like they had unresolved stuff,
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: so like for her to go in and want to
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: talk to other guys, it would have been it would
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: have been smart if Colton would have come in later,
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: like for her to have done that. But I think
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: I could see where she's like, I need to just
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: figure this out, and so I don't know. It was
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: just a really bad situation, I think in terms of
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: like going on a show and being that into into
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: somebody that you're not looking at anyone else, but like
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: having all a past with that person, like they should
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: just resolve it in the real world. Was it blatantly
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: obvious that he just wasn't that into her when he
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: walked in. Um. I think for me, I felt like
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: there was moments where they were equally into each other,
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: and then there was moments where I was like, oh God,
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: this is not going to look good for Tea. Like
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: I could tell, I could really tell that he was
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: not fully engaged. It just seem like there was just
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: like a lot of like pressure coming into it, like
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: a lot of build up. And so I think all
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: that pressure was kind of like what's going to happen?
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: And I feel like they both felt it, and you know,
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: trying to like figure that out immediately it's tough. So
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: I feel like it was a weird situation. I heard
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: a rumor that there's one cast member that you guys
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: didn't like, but he was he or she was well
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: liked on their former season. Is this true? Yes? Oh
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: this is Colden. No, it's not cold No. Yeah, I
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: did give us a teaser. Um, will we find out?
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's very girl or a guy? Um? I
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: mean I think I think there's definitely a guy. I
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: don't know if there's does he have big muscles? Does
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: he look like me with his shirt off? Is his name? Okay?
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: And you guys, um, well, I know your season Analyst,
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: you guys just hated Crystal, but now you guys seem
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: to kind of get along with Crystal. Yeah. I mean
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: for me personally, it was like I was going I
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: was going to be open to guys to date, but
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: I was also like, I'm going to be open to
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: friendships as well, like guys and girls, and so I
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: feel like Crystal sort of fell in that category for
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: me that I was like, this is her sort of
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: redemption also for people to see a different side of her.
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: So I didn't want to just go in and be like,
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: she's this person and I'm going to immediately hate her.
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: So I wanted to give her a second chance as well.
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: And she like totally surprised to me, and we're friends now.
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: To me, I you know, watched our season, so I
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: wasn't on that season, so like going in, I kind
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: of had like, oh, I wonder how she's going to be,
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: and she's great. I love Cristal. Her and I got
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: like very close. And actually it's so funny because whenever
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: I walked down and we met, she knew who I
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: was shocked, Wow, I know, but she was so sweet.
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: Like I went in there thinking one thing and I
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: left like being completely wrong. Well, when I've interviewed her
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: at Women Tell All and here on the podcast, I
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: was like, this girl, I could hang out with her. Yeah, um,
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: is there somebody okay? So based on rumors, it seems
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: as if this season maybe okay. According to my investigations,
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: this season seems to be the most fluid of casts,
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: as in, like, you guys switch partners a lot. Is
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: this true? I think I feel like the theme for
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: the first couple of weeks like everyone just didn't want
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: to come to anyway. It felt like everyone was very
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: like everyone just wanted to stay open, stay open, stay open.
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: And that was like I thought I was the only
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: one doing that. And then anytime we have like a
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: girl chat, it felt like everyone was doing the same thing.
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: Because that means that people weren't forming strong connections that
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: you guys were just kind of like so in love
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: with everyone, know. I think it was that we were
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: forming strong connections. It was it was a little bit
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: of like a brow out at the beginning, a little
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: bit like we were just I don't know. But it's
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: so funny. Also because before the first um Rows ceremony,
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: all of the girls were like having girl chat, We're like, oh,
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: you know, well, I'll probably give my roast of this person.
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: We literally were like going down the list and it's
- 1:05:36Speaker 1: just so funny how like a cocktail party changes everything
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: really clacktail parties like six hours. I gotta figure this out.
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: Are you guys like making out with everybody to like
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like it was like very friendly.
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: There's a couple of weeks like people definitely put people
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: in the friend zone, and then I think the changeover
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: was when people would say, Okay, we're in the friend zone,
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: but the only way we're going to actually maybe try
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: to have like a successful relationship and maybe like your
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: best friend becomes your significant other, Like maybe we need
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: to step out of the friend zone and like see
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: if there could be a relationship here. So that's sort
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: of like for yeah, I think that was like the
- 1:06:15Speaker 1: shift for a couple of people is like moving out
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: of the friend zone. But that's like it's actually think
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: about it. That's absolutely incredible. Zone and paradise go hand
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: in hand. Me and Jack, Carly and Evan. It's true
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: Panner and Jade. Tanner and Jade were not friends. They
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: were lovers right off the bat. Lovers and friends. They
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: had many sleepovers together, some of those as friends, some
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: of those as lovers, and so we can consider them
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: both friends and lovers. All right, it's time for our
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: speed round of questions. My favorite part girls and one word,
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: Well not that this one. This one doesn't get one word.
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: Remember this is a PG three team. I feel like
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: I'm gonna be really bad. No, no, no, no, I'm like,
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: oh lord, all right. Who what was your number one
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: beauty struggle in Paradise? Oh? The heat, Like I don't
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: sweat normally, and I just sweat. I had like a
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: permanent like just sweat on me, and I was just
- 1:07:18Speaker 1: I couldn't. I never wanted to do my makeup again
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: ever again. After I left, I did it so I
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: had to do it every hour. You have to do
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: makeup every hour. I mean, people don't realize, like I
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: hope whenever we all get roasted for looking tragic on television,
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: that they just take into account like it was hot
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: and there was no air conditioning. I'm also still now
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: dealing with like the acne that I got while I
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: was there, were constantly putting on Yeah, it's the worst.
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: Who is your favorite bartender yuki or wells well, but
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: you are saying, but she didn't really make drinks. Shed
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: there be lime though, the sweetest. She's a good water port.
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: Was there any gross out bathroom or bedroom stories? I
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: think just the oh p I mean there was one
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: sights like randomly just turned on and it was like
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: a swarm of the beetles. And I'm telling you, it
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: was like freaking the plague. Oh my god, it was
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: it was Wait, wasn't there only a certain bathroom? Wasn't
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: there a certain bathroom actually that you would go? Yeah? Yeah,
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: there was one. The other one the tree has. The
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: one the treehouse has an actual door and locked the
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: air conditioning and air condition There was an air conditioning room,
- 1:08:48Speaker 1: like I think in the whole place that had air
- 1:08:50Speaker 1: conditioning was a boom boom room. Oh I remember they
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: added air conditioning to that room. They didn't have air
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: conditioning back when I was out. That room one room?
- 1:09:01Speaker 1: So what kind of room is it that everybody's just
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: going in there? Blown it? I didn't know he can
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: go in that bathroom though, Oh my gosh, of course
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: you have to go in that bathroom is the only
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: one privacy. The other one beans imagine she had to
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: find her favorite bathroom sometimes, and this is disgusting to say,
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: I would just go to the kitchen bathroom because that
- 1:09:28Speaker 1: one nobody heard anything in because you yeah, but it's
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: so close to the kitchen. Oh gosh, thanks for sorry.
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: Can't wait to talk to you all over here alright,
- 1:09:44Speaker 1: last class speed round question. It's not really much of
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: a speed round, is it. Um the guy who really
- 1:09:50Speaker 1: caught your eye when you walked down the stairs. I
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: was sec I say, I was second to last walk down,
- 1:09:58Speaker 1: so nobody listened to this podcast. I was a second
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: with the last, so I walked down the stairs. So
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: I the only person that I a physically saw walk
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: down the stairs was David Um and it was favorite
- 1:10:11Speaker 1: David Chicken Chicken. This is a special question for me
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: because that was when I had loved at first sight
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: with Jerry, when well, I walked down the stairs and
- 1:10:24Speaker 1: I saw him at the bar. No, no, no, no, no,
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: not all. I think you're running a great comic really,
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: but like that was a big deal. So like there
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: was nobody who came down the stairs and you saw
- 1:10:34Speaker 1: at the bar. That was like wham, I like him.
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: There was but it just wasn't. It wasn't coughing up.
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: It wasn't for a while, so I can't say coming
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: first sight, he's coming. It was totally love it first
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: sight for both of us. I saw that. Well, I
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: don't know. I can't say that, but I think it
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: was definitely like Angela, yes, and Elsa's covering this up.
- 1:10:55Speaker 1: We were gonna watch this carefully from here and now, um,
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: I would love. I mean, I gotta tell you, if
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: any of you said David was your love at first sight,
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: I would, I would actually right now. And you don't
- 1:11:08Speaker 1: want that because it's really hot in here, and like
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: I said, there's a lot going on at my shirt
- 1:11:12Speaker 1: off and stuff, so like no pants then yeah. But anyways,
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: if it's not David and the chickens, which we assume
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: is your love at first sight, who else is it?
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: I don't have to pay see, Like this is what
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: I'm saying, my I I would say somebody that caught
- 1:11:32Speaker 1: my eye immediately. I can't believe you guys have to
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: think about this so long? Well, do you not? We
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: just said like the beginning of Paradise met a little
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: bit slow. To Matt Zukri was so ear literally he
- 1:11:45Speaker 1: was you know who kind of looks like Matt Zukri
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: is nick Yeah, Nikki slig that tasted in this episode.
- 1:11:57Speaker 1: I cannot handle it. You can't. Oh my god, we
- 1:12:01Speaker 1: forgot to talk about that. He was flirting with somebody.
- 1:12:05Speaker 1: Oh my god, it was so painful. Oh no, he's
- 1:12:08Speaker 1: painful to He's like doing with his fingers that looks
- 1:12:11Speaker 1: like he's like penetrated, like trying to like subconsciously penetrate her.
- 1:12:17Speaker 1: The vulcan. It was the Star Trek Bulcan handshake or something,
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: because you know that I can't do it, but if
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: you watch Star Trek, he would do that and the
- 1:12:27Speaker 1: intersect them. It was like and he was so wasted
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: and she's just like, I have a headache. And he well,
- 1:12:36Speaker 1: he's like he's a lawyer. He comes across like a

- 1:13:54Speaker 1: blue eye beauty next to me, we have a question
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: from one of our listeners, Andrea. She goes, how come no,
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: but he is talking about Ben in the Paradise promo?
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: What are you doing in there? Oh? Yeah, love? What
- 1:14:07Speaker 1: are you doing in the like? Um? Was that called suit? Yeah?
- 1:14:15Speaker 1: The second time you've done that a mariachi thing. Yeah.
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: The thing is you have to really put all cards
- 1:14:21Speaker 1: at the table to find love. And I was willing
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: to do with it, and so I put on a
- 1:14:24Speaker 1: mariachi suit, I went down to Paradise. I flew myself
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: down there. I showed up on the island and I
- 1:14:30Speaker 1: saw who would take me and the I mean not
- 1:14:33Speaker 1: to give a spoiler, but nobody took me, and so
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: I came back home and I'm back here on the
- 1:14:38Speaker 1: parad on the podcast, the love story is sad. You're
- 1:14:41Speaker 1: gonna to see a play out. It's tough. It's hard
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: for me. I should have legitimately walked down those stairs
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: in Paradise. I mean, we have some incredible women that
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: came there on night one, and our next guest is
- 1:14:52Speaker 1: definitely one of them. Kindle, you you've been on this
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: podcast before. I had been on this podcast before. Hello
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: again everyone, Hello Kendle. I've got Ashley really really needs
- 1:15:03Speaker 1: to take this away, but I got some questions for goods.
- 1:15:09Speaker 1: When when when uh uh Paradise first uh started? Somebody
- 1:15:15Speaker 1: came back from Paradise a few weeks in and they said,
- 1:15:18Speaker 1: Kendall is literally the most beautiful person I've ever seen
- 1:15:21Speaker 1: with my own eyes. Oh that's so sweet. On Paradise, Um,
- 1:15:25Speaker 1: they were not on Paradise, so that somebody you've met
- 1:15:28Speaker 1: outside of Paradise. But anyways, we're not going to give
- 1:15:30Speaker 1: that up. But my question for you, all of us
- 1:15:33Speaker 1: know you're beautiful. Everybody in americanos you're beautiful. Here's the
- 1:15:37Speaker 1: question I have for you, Kendle. You're intriguing. That word, yeah,
- 1:15:43Speaker 1: let's call you intriguing because you are. You're interesting. You
- 1:15:46Speaker 1: you suck us all in. Before Ashley kind of goes
- 1:15:50Speaker 1: off on her questions, I want to ask you. I
- 1:15:54Speaker 1: find it. I find I sit down and I watch
- 1:15:57Speaker 1: you on TV and I'm like, Okay, this girl's got
- 1:15:59Speaker 1: so much to her. And then you started talking about
- 1:16:01Speaker 1: picnics and cemeteries and all these things that are like
- 1:16:05Speaker 1: super weird and dark, and I lose, like and I
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: can get pretty dark. Like I'm a man who definitely
- 1:16:12Speaker 1: believes in the mystic. I definitely believe that Jesus Christ
- 1:16:16Speaker 1: died and rose again, like I believe in some stuff
- 1:16:19Speaker 1: that like most people will be like, let's explain her something.
- 1:16:23Speaker 1: You see beauty and death too, right, You're saying, oh, yeah,
- 1:16:26Speaker 1: for life to happen, death needs to exist. But the
- 1:16:29Speaker 1: problem is when you talk about it, there's like this
- 1:16:33Speaker 1: element where all I know you as is somebody like
- 1:16:36Speaker 1: likes taxidermy and has picnics and cemeteries, And for that
- 1:16:40Speaker 1: I go like, I could see relationship with Kindle. I
- 1:16:44Speaker 1: would supership with Kindle. But I stop at these so
- 1:16:48Speaker 1: the reasons I can explain why I love I'm setting
- 1:16:52Speaker 1: you up to say it's just you if it is great,
- 1:16:58Speaker 1: But let's I think, Um, I think maybe I just
- 1:17:01Speaker 1: have a different perception of things. I guess the reason
- 1:17:04Speaker 1: why I love having picnics and cemeteries is because they
- 1:17:07Speaker 1: are one of the only areas you can go to
- 1:17:10Speaker 1: that are just incredibly beautiful. They're like parks, and there's
- 1:17:13Speaker 1: not really many people that are there, and um, if
- 1:17:15Speaker 1: you go to the Hollywood Cemetery, there's like a beautiful
- 1:17:17Speaker 1: lake and there's um geese and there's swans and there's peacocks.
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: Is it allowed to just picnic in any old cemetery?
- 1:17:25Speaker 1: Thank you for that question, because when I was playing
- 1:17:27Speaker 1: Taylor Swift for Halloween this year, I was trying to
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: recreate her music video in the cemetery, and then I
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: got to the cemetery to recreate it and I was like,
- 1:17:34Speaker 1: this feels wrong and turned around, Well, no, it's actually, well,
- 1:17:37Speaker 1: the one thing that I find is like the one
- 1:17:39Speaker 1: thing like Martos is a beautiful holiday because in a
- 1:17:43Speaker 1: way it's um, you can go with the dead and
- 1:17:46Speaker 1: you can, yeah, and it's a beautiful memory. And I
- 1:17:49Speaker 1: feel like a lot of people are afraid of death
- 1:17:51Speaker 1: and they're afraid of facing their own mortal or their mortality.
- 1:17:55Speaker 1: So um, when you go to cemeteries, you feel afraid
- 1:17:58Speaker 1: because you you face your own right, it's like you're
- 1:18:00Speaker 1: staring at your future and that aside. Are you allowed
- 1:18:04Speaker 1: to just go to Bristol Farms, get a basket and
- 1:18:07Speaker 1: take it to any cemetery? I'm sure? Well, yeah, I
- 1:18:10Speaker 1: know I called. I've called cemeteries before and I've told
- 1:18:12Speaker 1: them that I want to go and have a picnic
- 1:18:13Speaker 1: and they're cool with it. But I went to Yeah,
- 1:18:16Speaker 1: I went to this one, uh cemetery in Los Angeles.
- 1:18:20Speaker 1: I love going to Um it's on your rady to
- 1:18:21Speaker 1: brimping actual on your ready here um And I love
- 1:18:24Speaker 1: going there because I like sitting there on excuse very famous.
- 1:18:30Speaker 1: I love going to forest Lawn um. Um. So I
- 1:18:32Speaker 1: like going there and actually the deer will come down
- 1:18:34Speaker 1: from the hills and they'll eat all the roses and
- 1:18:36Speaker 1: all the flowers on the on the graves, and I
- 1:18:38Speaker 1: just think it's really cool to go and to watch
- 1:18:40Speaker 1: them because there's like so much life around so much death,
- 1:18:43Speaker 1: and um, it's not so much that I like being you.
- 1:18:47Speaker 1: There isn't that where Michael Jack is. Yeah, And and
- 1:18:49Speaker 1: there's parking, guys, there's so much parking in cemetery. I
- 1:18:52Speaker 1: wanted to force Lawn to get this Instagram and then
- 1:18:55Speaker 1: I said, I can't ever do that because I saw
- 1:18:57Speaker 1: people mourning around me and visiting their loved ones, and
- 1:19:01Speaker 1: I was like, I feel so not to honor it
- 1:19:05Speaker 1: rather than make a music video. Yeah, okay, so that's
- 1:19:08Speaker 1: what it was. Yeah, I got there. I got I mean,
- 1:19:10Speaker 1: I like going what it was. What I mean, they
- 1:19:13Speaker 1: let you watch movies at the Hollywood Cemetery. You watch
- 1:19:16Speaker 1: movies there. I like going there and bringing a book
- 1:19:17Speaker 1: and maybe bring an apple or something and just like
- 1:19:19Speaker 1: hang out And is this real? It is an apple
- 1:19:25Speaker 1: and an apple? She's a Disney protest right now. I
- 1:19:28Speaker 1: get it. Like she made a statement, there's so much
- 1:19:32Speaker 1: life around so much death. I understand it, Like it
- 1:19:36Speaker 1: is a unique place to hang out. It's different it
- 1:19:38Speaker 1: stretches you. It pushes you to contemplate, It pushes you
- 1:19:44Speaker 1: to contemplate death, it puts you as also contemplate life.
- 1:19:48Speaker 1: So I get it, Kindle. I just think that The
- 1:19:51Speaker 1: Bachelor in Paradise is not the place to bring this up.
- 1:19:56Speaker 1: But Ben can weakly talk about the even crazier thing. Okay, Ben,
- 1:20:05Speaker 1: the grocer had never been on a picnic. That possible. Anyways, Kendall,
- 1:20:11Speaker 1: we close this conversation I gave you. I was just
- 1:20:14Speaker 1: trying to feel you a little bit, relate with you.
- 1:20:16Speaker 1: I understand you a little bit more now. Thank you
- 1:20:18Speaker 1: for sharing this. I appreciate your curiosity. You've got a
- 1:20:21Speaker 1: depth at which we've never seen on this show, and
- 1:20:24Speaker 1: so at some level it's hard to understand, but at
- 1:20:28Speaker 1: another level it's amazing to witness. We just got to
- 1:20:31Speaker 1: get to know you better. So anyways, question, you're hanging
- 1:20:35Speaker 1: out and getting to know a guy who's never been
- 1:20:37Speaker 1: on a picnic and it can't even talk to you
- 1:20:39Speaker 1: about picnics, and you're into him. And he's a grocer,
- 1:20:43Speaker 1: he works with food. I you know, Joe is just
- 1:20:47Speaker 1: somebody that he's just I think he just makes me laugh.
- 1:20:51Speaker 1: He's just hilarious and um, he's just so honest and
- 1:20:55Speaker 1: genuine and um, you just can't help but to get Joe.
- 1:20:59Speaker 1: When you out with Joe, you know you feel tingly
- 1:21:02Speaker 1: for Joe. I definitely, I definitely felt something for Joe
- 1:21:07Speaker 1: the first the first okay, the first episode. Who else
- 1:21:12Speaker 1: was really interested in you? I feel like there was
- 1:21:13Speaker 1: another guy we really trying to move on in cod Okay,
- 1:21:19Speaker 1: Colvid did try to talk to you before, and you
- 1:21:23Speaker 1: felt weird about it? Um, Yeah, I mean I think
- 1:21:26Speaker 1: Colton is a great guy. He has the same name
- 1:21:28Speaker 1: name as my brother, so that automatically was kind of like,
- 1:21:31Speaker 1: I don't want to like you know, Um, but yeah,
- 1:21:34Speaker 1: I really like cold think. Yeah, I know it does,
- 1:21:41Speaker 1: but I think no, I think he's a great guy.
- 1:21:45Speaker 1: He's just not He's not He's not really my type.
- 1:21:46Speaker 1: But I he also dated two of my friends, so um,
- 1:21:51Speaker 1: to me, I feel like I don't want to get
- 1:21:53Speaker 1: involved in that. There's already so much going on. Um,
- 1:21:56Speaker 1: but yeah, I think he just wanted to talk with
- 1:21:58Speaker 1: me because he wanted to get some feedback because I
- 1:22:00Speaker 1: was friends with both Becca and Tia, So I think
- 1:22:02Speaker 1: he just wanted to get more clarity younger than you.
- 1:22:07Speaker 1: I don't think you guys at the same age, like
- 1:22:09Speaker 1: maybe I'm a little more young. Yeah, yeah, he's I
- 1:22:14Speaker 1: think he he has so much to experience, you know,
- 1:22:18Speaker 1: and I see so much like curiosity and excitement in him,
- 1:22:20Speaker 1: and I feel like that's something that he was probably
- 1:22:23Speaker 1: hoping to go to Paradise to discover. Okay, okay, um,
- 1:22:28Speaker 1: are we going to see you date someone that will
- 1:22:30Speaker 1: surprise us? Um? I'm not sure. Okay, yeah, I mean
- 1:22:37Speaker 1: I feel like going into it, I just wanted to
- 1:22:39Speaker 1: have a very open mind and I wanted to surprise
- 1:22:42Speaker 1: myself with who um I ended up talking to, and
- 1:22:45Speaker 1: so I guess initially, I mean, as you can see
- 1:22:49Speaker 1: in the first episode, I wanted to just talk to everybody,
- 1:22:53Speaker 1: and Joe actually surprised me a lot. Pet Paradise question.
- 1:23:01Speaker 1: I did not make out with everybody, That's what I'll
- 1:23:02Speaker 1: tell you. Come on the number, being like so good
- 1:23:08Speaker 1: to there there. You know their producers guys, kissing is
- 1:23:11Speaker 1: a way to really get to know somebody. So we
- 1:23:14Speaker 1: saw Tia kind of rip on Crystal. She wasn't really
- 1:23:17Speaker 1: holding back. She kind of yeah, she made fun of
- 1:23:20Speaker 1: her a little bit. The beginning, How are you and Crystal? Um?
- 1:23:26Speaker 1: I have no animosity towards Crystal. I think Crystal is
- 1:23:28Speaker 1: a cool girl. She's a very powerful woman, and um,
- 1:23:32Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I personally don't feel like
- 1:23:35Speaker 1: I have anything that I have to like hash out
- 1:23:37Speaker 1: with her. I mean, we had her whole thing in
- 1:23:38Speaker 1: ARI season, but I don't think that came from a
- 1:23:40Speaker 1: place of disliking each other. I think that came from
- 1:23:42Speaker 1: a place of just being backed into a corner. And
- 1:23:45Speaker 1: then you know, we all kind of act differently, and
- 1:23:47Speaker 1: she seems knew and improved or sort of the same
- 1:23:50Speaker 1: old Crystal. Um. I think I definitely feel like she
- 1:23:53Speaker 1: learned a lot from R season and I think she's
- 1:23:54Speaker 1: bringing that into Paradise and um, yeah, I mean she's
- 1:23:59Speaker 1: she's a very powerful Which process made you more emotional? Um?
- 1:24:03Speaker 1: The Bachelor Paradise for sure, That's what I always say.
- 1:24:07Speaker 1: It's a whole different beast, so different if you're constantly
- 1:24:11Speaker 1: with the other person. I think I've laughed harder than
- 1:24:13Speaker 1: I've ever laughed there, and I've probably cried harder than
- 1:24:16Speaker 1: I've ever cried there totally. So there's a lot of
- 1:24:18Speaker 1: different extremes which is actually really fun. Yeah, because I
- 1:24:22Speaker 1: saw in the preview it looked like we saw cry
- 1:24:24Speaker 1: fest from you that we didn't see with Ari. Yeah.
- 1:24:28Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like it's interesting because you can
- 1:24:31Speaker 1: kind of you're kind of just like so much more
- 1:24:35Speaker 1: choices in a way, and there's more elements to it,
- 1:24:38Speaker 1: and it's so unpredictable. And also to think about it
- 1:24:41Speaker 1: this way, you're with the person that you're dating seven there,
- 1:24:45Speaker 1: you have so much time with them, and so I
- 1:24:47Speaker 1: feel like everything is so expedited. I was able to
- 1:24:51Speaker 1: really get to know the people that I was dating,
- 1:24:53Speaker 1: and um, you know, I see beauty and so many
- 1:24:56Speaker 1: different kinds of people. So it's yeah, it's it's hard.
- 1:24:59Speaker 1: It gets very difficult. Yeah. Yeah, and um, it's not
- 1:25:03Speaker 1: the kind of person we need on the show. Thanks.
- 1:25:07Speaker 1: You like transcend the show a little bit, and that's
- 1:25:10Speaker 1: not easy to We have a lot of respect for
- 1:25:12Speaker 1: the show, but you like you look past the craziness
- 1:25:16Speaker 1: and look towards the actual meaning of the show and
- 1:25:19Speaker 1: then actual meaning of the person. I think you're the
- 1:25:22Speaker 1: exact type of person we need. I'm excited to watch
- 1:25:25Speaker 1: this play out. I think you make out with two
- 1:25:28Speaker 1: people too. A guest, I think too, maybe three. Do

- 1:26:07Speaker 1: really I was just closing my eyes or like writing

- 1:26:29Speaker 1: almost like I lay down to sort of and I
- 1:26:32Speaker 1: don't know if I pass out or like if I
- 1:26:34Speaker 1: fall asleep. But like, when I get emotionally, it's more
- 1:26:38Speaker 1: than anything because it releases certain chemicals into your body
- 1:26:41Speaker 1: and it causes you it actually reduced it actually releases
- 1:26:44Speaker 1: like endorphins, so you feel happier when you cry when
- 1:26:47Speaker 1: you sob I don't feel happy when I'm bawling. But
- 1:26:52Speaker 1: don't you feel like you feel better after you have
- 1:26:54Speaker 1: a good I mean I usually have to take it.
- 1:26:57Speaker 1: It's actually pain. It takes it takes away pain, and
- 1:27:00Speaker 1: you cry as well. It's like a release. But then
- 1:27:02Speaker 1: I literally almost as past out, like I had a thing.

- 1:27:54Speaker 1: land as the Bachelor is, because that's either a sorority

- 1:28:10Speaker 1: you hang out with the person that you're interested in
