• 0:59
  Speaker 1: I talked a lot last week. I was gonna say,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: that's not all my fault. You were in Tahoe just
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: pumping out episodes like crazy. Well, I also was gonna say,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: you're gonna do three without me? At minimum because of
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: the honeymoon. Yeah, you can, but it's all good. We're
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: a team here. We've got to kind of be flexible.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I was in Switzerland, you were in Tahoe. Um, I
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: just think sometimes life gets in the way. How else,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: what's your land? You know? I asked? It was awesome,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: So Jessica, uh, and I went to play in, uh
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: the Ryder Cup Foundations golf tournament. And so what happens is, um,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Prince Albert of Monica every year, and my goodness, how cool.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Prison he's Grace Kelly's son. Yeah, right, is that wild? Um?
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: He invites twelve American celebrities and in twelve European celebrities.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: So the question to playing this golf tournament against each
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: other for a week, and this time it was in Switzerland.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: So here's the funny part about the whole thing, because
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: every time I say this, the follow up question is, then,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: how in the world did you get celebrities? Twelve American
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: celebrities invited by Prince Albert and you're one of them.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: It's pretty dark cool or it's really embarrassing. And let
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: me tell you why. Um, so obviously, Uh, anybody can
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: tell me. Oh wow, I'm really surprised that if twelve
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: celebrities you were invited, I would say, I agree with you.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty shocked myself, and I don't view myself in
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: any way as relevant. Um, but I will take any affternion.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Get Here's what happened. Most of the time, it's football
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: players to get invited to this and this year, um soccer, soccer,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: football like American football, like American football. But it's the
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: dates of this tournament got pushed back two weeks because
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: of some things happening in Switzerland, and so all of
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: the football players had to back out last minute. What
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: happens when yeah, training camp, So guess what happens when
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: a bunch of them back out. I get the phone
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: calls like your D team, Hey, it's that D team,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: it's B team. And that still means that you were
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: one of twenty four people last Okay, that's really cool. Yeah,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: it was awesome. It was so fun. Jess and I
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: had the coolest time. I mean we were in St. Marit, Switzerland,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: which is one of the most beautiful places in the world,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: at the Bedroots Resort. Anyway, it was great. Got to
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: meet some really cool people. Actually listen to this. I
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: got to meet somebody who owned a forty five thousand
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: acre vineyard in Chile. How cool would that be? Thousand acres?
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: How many miles is that? Yeah? His vineyard is the
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: VIC Vineyards. It was just a cool trip. A lot
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: of cool things happened. Um, but it's not as important
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: as as the stuff that's going on in your life.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: You've got a wedding coming up. Well, I was say,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: the next trip you guys make as a couple might
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: be to my wedding and Jared and I. Yeah, Jared
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: and I have been getting gifts from our Crateton Barrel
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Registry all the time and it's really filling up our
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: new home together. So let me tell you a little
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: about crate and Barrel. I think everybody knows that amazing
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: feeling that it is coming home after a long day,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: washing your face, brushing your teeth and getting yourself in bed.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: And to enhance the feeling, it's the best when you
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: have the freshest, fluffiest duvet sheets, pillows, comforters. Jared and
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I have gotten all of ours from our Crete and
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Barrel Registry. They help us relax and it makes our
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: time alone together in bed even better. Sleep is better, right,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Just that that feeling that you get to look forward
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: to is better. Adding these products to our wedding registry
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: with Creating Barrel was super easy and fun to pick
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: out because you know you're in the store and you
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: just scan it right on your phone. Or if you'd
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: forget to register for betting, or you want to figure
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: out which kind, you need extra time to think about
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: what you want to choose. Jared, I just got our flannels,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: which you know we're going to say for colder season.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: But you get to go back and add those things
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: on the app as well, so you don't have to
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: register for everything in the store. You can think about
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: some things. I really like that about the Cretan Barrel
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: app and registering with Crate and Barrel. So if you
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: want a bed like ours and it's a good one,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you that's a really, really good one. It's
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: so comfy with all of our new sheets and pillows
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: and comforters, and it looks so good. It looks adult
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: and it's timeless. Like everything at Creating Barrel, it's classic.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: It's going to be stylish and look great for so
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: many years to come start your creating Barrel Registry at
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Creating Barrel dot com slash Wedding Dash Registry. Hey, Ashley,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I didn't get to talk about it too much because
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: I was away, and we've been getting a ton of
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: questions and emails and Twitter responses about this new Bachelor
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Live deal. A lot of them are worried that this
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: podcast is gonna end when Bachelor Live begins. Actually, is
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: that true? No way, I can't even believe people thought
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: that was a legitimate concern. Of course it's not. You
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: do this remotely almost every year, every day, every week,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: So you're just gonna be doing it remotely from a
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: tour bus wherever you are in America exactly. Yeah, we're
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: gonna be fine. Like, honestly, it's gonna be fun because
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: I think on the podcast I could see us breaking
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: down like some of the stories that are happening at
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: some of these live events. Oh yeah, that'll be really
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: really fun, And I will come and visit you on
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: the road for sure. Yeah. You know, I've also got
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: some questions about what Bachelor Live is. And let me
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: explain it for a second, because last week there was
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: just a lot going on and I couldn't dive in
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: but Bachelor Life is this. So the Bachelor Nation has
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: been so great to all of us. I mean, as
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: you know, I've had done this podcast for two years
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: with Bachelor Nation listeners listening, and we get asked all
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: the times kind of the behind the scenes stuff. You know,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: there's this like fantasy world that's displayed on TV and
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: it's super romantic and there's it's drama filled and ultimately
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: at the end, we hope love exists and it comes
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: from it. Well that's a Bachelor lives is uh. You know,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Warner Brothers got together and they said, hey, what if
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: we just gave a thank you to Bachelor Nation and
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: made a tour that goes to a ton of different
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: cities across the US. We show up and we do
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: the Bachelor's show live in front of a live audience
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: where you have a live bachelor and the suitors they're dating.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Bachelor Nation gets to come and vote on who gets
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: a rose and who doesn't. And you know, if you
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: want to come for drama, you can. If you want
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: to come for love that may exist from it as well,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: and if you want to just come to see Ben
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Higgins in real life, that's great too. Yeah, that's something special.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Let me tell you, um so, but yeah, the it's
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: that's what it is. I'm gonna be hosting. I'm super
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: jacked about it. It's gonna be really great. There's gonna
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: be other people from Vatchination showing up on the road
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: as well. But long story short, we're just hitting the road.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: The Bachelor is coming to a city, New you. You've
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: got to check it out. I want to see you.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: But this podcast is not ending in the process. We
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: do have other Bachelor news to discuss, so we're gonna
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: go down this rundown real quick before we get Luke
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Pell on the line, Who's going to talk about his
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: feelings about Jed pursuing his music so hard on The Bachelorette.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: It has been such a storyline for him, unlike we've
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: ever seen before. But there have been other musicians on
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: the show, and Luke is one of them, so we
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: can't get to get his opinion on Jed and if
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: he's ever really run into him around Nashville, because I
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: feel like they maybe they don't run in a similar circle.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: But I do know that I don't know if you
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: know this, Ben, that Jed is good friends with James
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Taylor of Jojo season. Oh wow, so I had no clue.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I'm no clue. Yeah, no, they are. So I wonder
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: what that says. Like, I wonder if we could ask
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Luke a little bit about like, you know, typically who
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: you associate with friends is, you know, points to who
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: you are as a person. And we never got to
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: know James very well. He was never really I mean,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: he was around for a while, but I can't really
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: remember much about him. Ums on social media, Yeah, he
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: has gotten himself in the triple fat And I don't think,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: I mean from what I've seen or No, I don't
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: think James's career was necessarily benefited from the show. And
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: I don't think he's like has like a recording deal. Yeah,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't know what to anyways. Hey, um,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Rachel is having her Bachelorrette party right now. She's obviously
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: planning a wedding. She went down to Costa Rica to
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: the plane of Hollywood with Asterid, Alexis, Christina Whitney friends. Way,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: they're hanging out, they're enjoying themselves. I mean, it's just
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: moost thing. They're having a good time. Is there anything
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: special going on here? Is it just a big celebration.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: I think this is a big celebration. That's pretty When
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: is the wedding? Do I know this? Their weddings in
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: August as well? Is it on the same weekend as
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: you know? It is not? Is it? Is it anything like?
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Are they doing their own wedding? Is the Bachelor? Like?
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Is it on TV? Is there anything like that going on? Nope,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: it's exact same as ours. No TV involved. And I
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: don't know if you remember, but a couple of months
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: ago I was I talked about how Rachel actually came
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: to me to ask our date so that our weddings
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: wouldn't fall in the same weekend, which is very sweet
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: of her. That is getting married. I think it's in
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: the Caribbean. That sounds fun. I think that's what I think.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: One day, you know you're doing a great thing. You
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: poured is awesome. I think I'm into the destination wedding
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: idea because the people that can't come won't come, But
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: then you're kind of away from fit friends and family
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: in your own home, so everybody's kind kind of feel
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: like they're on vacation. Do you like the idea that? Yeah,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: I really like that. I think ours is like a
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: perfect medium, like you don't feel like you're going too
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: far because it's you know, in the country, but it's
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: still definitely a destination for a lot of people who
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: haven't been there before, and it's a very lovely summer spot.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Everybody I talked to you, um and I know you.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: We've talked about your wedding a ton, which we should.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: It's your big special day, Ashley. But anyway, everybody talked
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: to say that your wedding is going to be magnificent,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: like just based on location and the time put in.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: But hey, super pumped for Rachel, big for her. I
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: hope they're celebrating. Well, uh, we are gonna be following
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: that wedding as it comes up as well. Hey, h
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Demmian Barnett one of our favorite people and one of
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Bacchelin nations here people came on on Twitter and called
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: herself what I imagine is the queer queen. Correct. Oh yes,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: because we see that we've seen the Bachelor Paradise premiere.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: It seems like she has a same sex relationship or
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: is pursuing one. So she she loves us all can
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: She confirmed that basically on Twitter? Yeah, so I mean
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: kind of all right, like gay, but I'm assuming based
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: on the the Paradise review and promo she is she's
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: in a same sex relationship in Paradise. So the big
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: question that we don't know is, you know, was it
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: happening before? Doesn't last and it's you know, ultimately, like
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: everybody on the show, is she happy? So she came
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: on Twitter. This promo, by the way, has so many
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: different storylines. I'm so pumped to watch this season. Are
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: you worried about your friend Blake. I'm really worried about him.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm worried about him because Blake's a good dude,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: and he's a good dude that probably has made some
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: really bad decisions. Uh, and ultimately we all have, right
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: and so the hope is that we learned from those
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: decisions as life goes. The problem though, is kind of,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: you know, like we talked about with Luke p. Luke
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: P when he's made bad decision in the show, he's
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: just kind of doubled down and not admitted fault and
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: just said like, yeah, I'm above it all. I think,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: knowing Blake, this is really going to wreck him, and
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: I bet he comes out of this the better and
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: because he's realized the mistakes he's made, and I think
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: he'll try to become a better man for it. So
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: that's my hope. But I am worried. It looks it
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: looks bad. Yeah, it does look does look bad. And
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: when we were down in Paradise for Crystal and Chris's wedding,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: it didn't sound that great either. After storyline to watch, obviously,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: we see a fight, like a legitimate fight. I'm I'm
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: wondering who that is. I don't think we ever got
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: any clue of who it was. Our buddies, our buddy
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Dean's down there. This is a lot happened on Paradise.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be a wild season. I expect huge ratings
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: for Paradise this year. Speaking of ratings, U Jojo and
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Jordan's Cash pad Uh premiered this week. Did you watch
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: I dv R dint. I haven't watched it yet, but
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: it's all am I to do. Listen. I know the
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: second episode I think comes out tomorrow, so maybe I'll
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: just watch two in a row. It looks awesome. I
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: heard great things about it. My mom was like, oh
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: my god, Jojo and Jordan's are so amazing the next
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Chip and Joanna. So I know the show is good.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: So do we have any insight in have a ratings? Like?
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Did it was a massive success? Was it? How to
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: it do? I don't know. I don't either. Um I
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: tried to find out before this podcast and I couldn't
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: find anything. Did you watch it? I did not. I
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: was totally away in Switzerland. So turning them back in
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: the state, I mean, they're gonna be great. I have
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: zero doubt that Joe, Joe and Jordan together doing this show,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: they're going to be good. But even the best the
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: shows sometimes don't get viewers for whatever reason. And so
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: the real mark is like, hey, can are they able
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: to convert how good they are to viewership? But let's
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: be let's let's tell people what the show is about.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: So it's not just like a home flipping show. What
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: it is is they go in they renovate houses like
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: guest houses and stuff like that, or not even guest houses.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: They renovate places so they can become something like an airbnb.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: So now people can make money off their spaces, hence
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: cash pad m. It is not as jokes it would.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Jordan's have a stake in the Airbnb as well, or
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: they just kind of flip it or clean it up
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: and leave, or they like investing into the Airbnb. Also, No,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: I don't think so Okay, hey what I mean. I
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: think it's a good idea. Yeah, they're a fun couple
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: to watch. Good on them. Either way, we hope the
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: best success, uh, for everything they're doing. Hey, this is
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Chris Harrison's birthday week. We love our good old host.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Everybody's celebrating him. I mean everybody from vast nation is
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: posting a picture with Chris Harrison. I was going to
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: and chose not to just because I felt like I
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: was following a crowd. Sometimes I don't like to follow
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: the crowd. Last piece of news I have is that
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Jade still has the baby in her belly, which means
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: that we have very few days left for her to
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: be able to make the wedding. Uh. We brought her
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: a salad that apparently has put many people into labor.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: The place that I got this salad from is in
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: studios to I forget how to say. The name is
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: like see Chow Pizza or something. Hilary Duff was spotted
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: going there to get a salad while she was pregnant.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Even Carson Daily had his wife eat the salad for
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: the first kid. It worked, and then she ordered a
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: bottle of the salad dressing to New York and chugged
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: the entire thing. And I do believe she went to
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: labor again that time. So it's a it's a it's
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: a famous salad to get people's delivery going. It doesn't
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: seem to have worked for jade Um produced. One of
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: our producer friends actually told me that his wife did it.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: And it's the castor oil and it that gets things moving.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: But sometimes it doesn't get the baby moving, it gets
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: your bowels moving. WHOA, that's always fun time. Yeah, speaking
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: of good time, Actually, we have so much to talk
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: about this podcast. Hit a Bat season is coming to
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: an end very soon, but it doesn't mean that the
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: drama and the storyline are finished. Hey, Pels gonna come
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: on and talk to us about what his thoughts are
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: on Jed. We're gonna dig into Jed and Luke Kelsy
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: to be an expert on that. But before we do, actually,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: you love third love, and so do I. I sure
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: do because and I know you do because your girlfriend,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Now where's her third love? Bro? And jess my love it,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: but does she know why she loves it? I'll let
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: her in right now. It uses data points generated by
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: millions of women who have taken the fit finder quiz
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: on Third Love's website, and they design bras with a
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: breast size and shape in mind for a perfect fit
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: in a premium feel. Third Love offers more than seventy sizes,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: including their half cup sizes. A lot of women, when
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: using the fit finder quiz decide, I mean decide, they
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: don't decide. They find that they our half cup side.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: I am a half cup size, my sisters a half
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: cup size, but we didn't know this until we found
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: out on the Third Love fit finder quiz. What I
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: also love about Their love is it it avoids those
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: awkward fitting room experiences where every lady that works in
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: the bra area wants to measure you and you're like,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: I think of my my breast says kind of a
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: private thing. I'd rather you not look in the mall.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: You know, So that that third leve eliminates that every
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: customer also has sixty days to wear it, wash it,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: and put it to the test, and if you don't
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: love it, you can return it. In Third level wash
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: and donate to a woman in need. And I love
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: this because oddly a lot of other donation places do
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: not accept bras and I think that is just ridiculous,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: because women in need need bras. There are fit stylists
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: that are available every day to help you via text,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: chat or phone. And when I love the most about
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: their love is While other brands charge more based on sizing,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Third Love bras cost the same no matter what your sizes.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: I can't believe that other companies do that. That's insane.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Returns and exchanges are free and easy. Hands down, the
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: most comfortable bra you'll ever wear. Third Love bras don't
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: have straps that slip, and they have tagless labels so
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: there's no itching, and returns and exchanges are free and easy.

  Speaker 1: Al Right, guys, we have one of our good friends
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: from Bachelor Winner Games, Luke Pell on the line if
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: you guys don't remember him and you're a new watcher
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Bachelor Nation and Luke Pal served in Afghanistan during his
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: first five years with the U. S. Army. He grew
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: up in Texas. He moved to Nashville chasing his dream
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: of music. He has some amazing music out there on iTunes.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: You should totally check it out. And um he appeared
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: on Joe Joe the twelfth season of the Bachelorette. Luke,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: what's up, guys, thanks for having me on. Good Luke
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: you guys, how horrible is it to also be a
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Luke Pe these days? Yeah, that's that's exciting. I've uh,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: I've gotten a few misdirected tweets and d ms in Instagram,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: um that were meant that were meant for somebody else,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: and then twenty four hours later they're like, oh my god,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: I apologize that's the wrong Luke P. It's so funny. Yeah,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: I have seen what they intended to said, though, and
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: I feel bad for the kid, honestly. I mean there's
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: some rough dms out there. You know. What's interesting is
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: I feel that Bachelor nation alum have had more sympathy
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: empathy for Luke than anyone else out there. Whenever I'm
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: with a group of Bachelor peeps and we're like, you know,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: off the mic, we're actually talking about how we feel
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: bad for him, not that he didn't screw up immensely,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: but I guess there's just like a certain component of
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: the process and the scrutiny that comes with it that
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: we understand that a lot of people don't. Like we
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: were with Kendall and Joe this weekend and they were like,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: I don't you know this is it's pretty crazy, and
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: then same with Jade and Tanner, and the same with
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Tahoe crew Less last week. Sure, yeah, it's uh, it's
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: it's kind of funny. You know, everybody comes on the
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: show from different backgrounds, and everybody has a different level
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: of self awareness. Some people are very self aware when
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: they come on to the show and start filming, and others,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: you know, they they don't see themselves to the same
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: lens as the rest of the world might in a
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: certain situation. And then of course, you know, the job
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: of the producers is to take that one direction or
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: the other, and uh, you know, help build some these
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: narrative if you will. So um that being said, I
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: don't condone anything that he did exactly you were up
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: front is like, you know, there is intention versus execution,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: and he had poor execution of how I handled himself.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: And I think, you know, a kid like that, he
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: can look back at his time during that filming and
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: probably although he has had a couple of chances to us,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: you know, apologize to say I could have done things better,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: but I think one day he'll look at it and say, hey,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: I could have done something a little bit better and
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: had a little bit better positive attitude about how I
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: went through this and been more empathetic to other people
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: and more respectful of other people and their their opinions, uh,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: and their outlook on life, even if it is different
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: than mine, you know, those type of things. I think
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: eventually surely he'll he'll he'll see it through those those lenses.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: So well, we hope. So right now we're moving on
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: to like another formed villain kind of Jed. So Jed
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: was a front runner in the very beginning, ever, but
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: I loved him, and then this information about him having
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: a girlfriend, leaving the show with a girlfriend and saying
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: I Love you and going on vacation her beting. The
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: family like and all of us now can't stand Jet
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: and he's a musician, and it's gotten the whole show.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure if you saw this past episode this
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: this episode, Luke, but this episode, the family concentrates a
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: lot on Jed's music career and how he can provide
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: for Hannah financially in the future. What do you think
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: about Jed right now? Yeah, well, I mean, first of all,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: I'll preface with this. It's the interesting thing about this is,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: you know we've kind of before the show has exposed
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Jet uh you know, activity before he filmed, and all
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: this about the girlfriend back home that's not been out
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: yet in public. That's all been um in tabloids on
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: you know bloggers, reality see those types of people. And
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: it's been this whole Bachelor Nation underground type of borrow
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: narrative that hasn't even happened on the show yet. So um,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: that's just gonna get start to unfold here at the
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: very end of of the episodes. But um, you know,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: I think that these days, people they call it quote
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: unquote receipts and you know, a kid like him, I don't.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know Jed. I've met Jed, I don't know
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: him personally other than just meeting briefly, and it's tough
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: to see, you know. I always want to give people
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: to benefit of doubts, say maybe they you know, they're
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: not inherently a bad person. Maybe they had good intentions,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: because most of us do have good intentions. I mean,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: who wants to go on to a TV show in
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: front of the nation and be a bad person and
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: be hated Like nobody goes on there knowingly says, well
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: just hate me, world, I'm completely good with it. Bringing on.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: They go on there with intentions of thinking that what
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: they've done in the past, or who they've been up
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: to that point is okay, is morally and ethically okay
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: a or that if they have made mistakes, which a
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: lot of us have in different levels. You may all
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: of it's some kind of mistake you hope that you know,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: maybe that's in your past. But as you know, in
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: vastelardation in the nation of social media and Twitter and
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: people pulling up old screenshots, if you have made mistakes
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: and you come into this type of environment, they will
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: come back to haunt you. You know, we've seen that
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: too many times. It happens every season now, and it's
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: it's like the big reveal of reality Steve and those
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: types of people is to say, oh, let's dig up
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: the dirt on these people's past. So you know, um,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe there are people out there that have
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: a very clean past, they've never done or said anything
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: that they shouldn't have said, or or you know, um
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: come onto the show with with bad intentions and they're
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: trying to hide something and then they get found out.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: So I just I feel bad um in a way.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, when you see what somebody
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: like that actually did, you're like, man, even if you
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: had good intentions, what like, what were you thinking? Like?
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: It didn't it doesn't make sense. It's not it's not
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: right to the girl that you were dating before. However,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: whatever the details are on that, we only see it
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: through certain lands, but there are receipts, as they say,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: out there, so you're like, gosh, that was just it
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: just kind of makes you it's cringeworthy. I guess you
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: would say to see that kind of stuff, and so, um,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: I guess now that that jet is going to come
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: out of contracts he'll be able to speak about it.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's going to happen now, so maybe
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: you guys, you guys know what's gonna happen from here.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Have you heard anything? Well, we have an inside scoop
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: that says that no one knows what's going to happen. Yeah,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: well it's gonna be interesting to say the least. Um, Yeah, Chris,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Chris Harrison's uh, definitely right on this one as far
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: as one up being the most dramatic ending ever. So
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: I feel like it's gearing up to be one of
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: those kind of kind of nights I have to ask. So,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, we have to be aware. And I was
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: just thinking about this this week. He isn't the first,
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: nor will he be the last person to come on
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: this show man or or man or woman that have
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: a significant other when they come onto the show that
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: they break up right before the show starts, once they
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: find out they're going to be a part of the cast.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: That's happened many times before. And so I was thinking,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: tell me if you think I'm wrong, and listeners, please
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: email us at Ben and Ashley I hired media dot Com. Um,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: I was thinking, what did Jed do? So wrong here,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: like why was his the storyline that really upset us?
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: And I think there's two things he did wrong. One,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: you know, we found out too well before that we
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: found out that Peter had a girlfriend going onto the
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: show as well, or they broke up five months before.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: The thing that Jed did wrong was he sit text
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: as he was getting the plane saying, all, this is
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: gonna work out in the end, right, I'm gonna come
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: back to you. This is just to heighten my career.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: He's not the first and he won't be the last
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: person to come on the show to heighten their career.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: That happens too. We've all seen it, we know it,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: and some of us have done in ourselves, Like I
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: think I have eight friends who came on the show
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: going it's gonna be really good for my life and
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: my lifestyle, and then all of a sudden they find
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: themselves falling in love and they go, oh crap, things
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: have changed. Um. The second, and to this, this is
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: what I think Jed did wrong, is while he was
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: falling in love with Hannah. If he really did fall
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: in love with Hannah, which I would assume he did,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: he should have brought his ex onto the show or
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: called her or something and said, hey, I know I
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: went into this with the intention of coming back to you.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: I know I went into this and I've already admitted
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: on the show to get famous, Like I know that
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: was my intention. But please know I'm now in love
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: with this Hannah, and I'm here for a whole different
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: reason than I ever expected. I think if he would
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: have done that, or if he still does that on
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: this last episode that we haven't seen yet, I don't
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: think we do, because, like Astley said, we have some
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: inside information that nobody, producers, nobody knows how this is
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: gonna end, which is gonna make the last episode so wild. Um,
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: I think we forgive him, and I think we say
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: it all makes sense. Let me clarify, we don't know
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: what's going to happen during the live show. The producers
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: don't happen. The producers have no idea what is going
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: to unfold the live show. That's like because of course
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: we know how, like the producers know how the last
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: recorded episode unfaults, but it's the live show where it's
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: like anything can happen. And to talk about what you
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: have mentioned, Ben, I think it was the combination of
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: having a girlfriend and then obviously being there for his career. Right, Yeah,
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: I think I definitely I agree. I mean, you hit
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: the nail on the head. That's the difference in in
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: the Twitter world, you know, Jury is out there saying
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: that that. You know, Peter's girlfriend came out and everybody's like, yeah,
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: well that's kind of a moot point. He broke up
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: with you at Christmas, and you admitted that yourself by
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: sex messages, and he said, hey, I don't want to
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: be in this relationship with you anymore. And he completely
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: has that right, and that's completely forthcoming and truthful and
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: of you months before they even start filming the next show.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: So you know, herst was kind of an ill advised uh,
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: you know, alarm that she sounded. But then Jazz, on
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: the other hand, Yes, the intention was, Hey, i'm gonna
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: go on this show. I'm gonna be um, I guess
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: kind of I'm gonna be faithful to you one, which
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: was a lie. Uh, and then too, I'm going to
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: come I'm going to bambooz all the whole world and
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: kind of mislead the world and say I'm on this
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: show to be in love and and find love with Hannah,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: but I'm gonna I'm gonna come back to my real
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: girlfriend after and he had that intention the entire way through,
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: and so that's what is is just tough to look past.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: You know, you're like, gosh, just you know, we've what
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: we've seen and what we have to judge that from
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: as far as evidence, so far as saying that is
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: just not the right way to go about it in
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: any sense. But there's more information to still come, and
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: there is like, like then said a couple of long
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: shots of scenarios, that this could work out in a
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: way where you would be like, okay, A that makes
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: a little bit more sense. It's sad, but you know,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: I mean think of it like this. It's like we
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: look just at what Ari did on his season, right,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: I mean Ari got engaged you know, uh the Sebecca
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: and then um and then completely and tells her I
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: want to spend the rest of my life with you
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: on Nashville TV. And then you know, a few weeks
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: later says wait a minute, Uh, there was this other
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: girl and her name is Lauren. I want to go
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: back to her. And so you know, so I mean
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: there is um in love. You know, it's kind of
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: all spair in love and war. It's kind of like
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: he he changed his mind, had to change his heart.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: Now here he is. Um, they've had you know, they
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: started their family, They've got a happy life together, they're married,
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: and that was the right decision for him. Although it
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: looks very brutal to see what happened to Becca having
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: to break up with her um in the finale of
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: that of that season. So it's it's there's some predicaments
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: out there for sure, but um, yeah, oh that's what
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about now. The other thing with that's
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: just in the relationship world. UM, I will say this. Um,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: you know, you guys know that I've I've um delved
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: into the music world. Song that's always been kind of
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: although it wasn't what I was on the show. I
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: didn't talk about it on the show at all. Um,
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: I was in the military, and that I was an
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Army veteran was like my career when I was on
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: The Bachelor at with Jojo the first time, and so
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: you know after that, Um, you know, I've been living
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: in nashvill when it came out that oh he's he's
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: a songwriter, he's whatever. Uh and The thing is with
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: with with having to go on there. I don't think
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: you should go on there trying to boost your career,
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: you know. I think people should try to go in
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: there with an open mind. And I think that every
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: every person that applies to the show, they realized now
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: in the in the world of social media, that yes,
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: it can't whatever you're doing. If you're doing music and
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: you've been doing that for ten years or you decided
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: to do it tomorrow, it can boost it possibly can
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: boot that career. If you're you know, selling widgets on Instagram,
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: it can boost your career. You know, if you're in
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: a career that you don't like in the cubicle, some
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: type of career, you're selling insurance or something, and you
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: go on The Bachelor, then when you come off, most
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: people don't go back to selling insurance or whatever they've
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: been before. They leave that and then they'll do another
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: reality show or they'll you know, continue uh to start
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: another business in different things. And so I don't think that, um,
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: there's anything wrong with making those kind of parlays and
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: those segues into other parts of people's lives and what
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: they're passionate about. But I don't think they should come
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: on there with that sole intention, you know. And so
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: do you think it was weird that the producers concentrated
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: so much on the musicians storyline the entire season? Yeah,
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: I do. I just I think a lot of people
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: notice that, you know, every every time Jets on the screen,
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: he's like playing the piano, they're playing the guitar. And
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: then they went to this studio and then I think
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: his dad apparently was like a career musician as well,
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: or something to that effect. And I mean it was
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: completely his storyline, and so I think that, you know,
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: it's tough to see that that career. I'm trying to
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: think if there's any other ones, I mean, that career
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: of anything, because it acting, Yes, those coincidentally crossover in
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: terms of, Wow, your business is not just selling products,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: but it's about how many fans and people you have
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: following you. And so if that's what it is before
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: the show, and then you come on the show and
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: then you increase your followers and YadA, YadA, YadA. The
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: the the part that people believe in is if then
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: if that's true, then they must be getting those followers
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: to increase their career. What else would they be on
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: there for. And so that's kind of the logic that's there,
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: and for some it is sadly true. But for others,
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: I don't think it should be an automatic indictment on
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: their intentions, you know what I'm saying. Am I mean?
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: I feel like, I mean, what what should we do?
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: I think there's some people in bashing the world will
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: be like, yeah, well, the casting the producer should never
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: cast another anybody who's doing a musician or an actor
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: or anybody that is any type of career that might
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: possibly boost their quote unquote, you know, entertainment career or
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: whatever it is. They should never cast another one because
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: that's they're They're they're obviously there for their wrong attentions.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: How could they be there for anything else, you know
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: what I mean? And so I feel like that's tough, um.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: But also I do feel like the producers know that,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: and that's a storyline that you know, a guy like
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: Jed can come on there and I think his intentions
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: were probably realized during the casting process, and you can
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: you can you know, borderline. I'm not saying they did
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: or they didn't, but you could exploit that if you
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: wanted to and you could say, yeah, look, this guy
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: always always just out here just trying to like to
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: his own horn. He's you know, uh, he hasn't had
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: any legitimate music industry success. He's not signed a record label,
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: any of those things. Uh, he's not on the radio, YadA, YadA, YadA.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: So it's gonna look kind of like he's just clinging
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: for some success because of this TV show. Uh. And so,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: I mean it's sad to see that. And so, I
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: mean I think at this point, if there was somebody
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: who was getting castine for this show right now and
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: they were saying and they told me what their career was,
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: you know, I would say, look, if you're in the
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: music industry or whatever, you should probably you know, think
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: twice about doing this, because, um, you know what, first
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: of all, be true to yourself. What are your intentions
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: on going on the show. Are you open to a
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: relationship and being fully vulnerable in that way? And secondly,
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: even if your intentions are good, what's the world gonna
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: think about you, um, because of your career? And that's
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: just I think the truth, the kind of the truth
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: of the matter in the situation as it is now. So, Luke,
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: if so you're you're telling us honestly that you didn't
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: go on for any sort of music career, and I
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: know you fell in love with Jojo. Are you that
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: instance though that you were just talking about where it's like,
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: maybe you went on to gain a following for your
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: music career, but then you did end up falling in
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: love with Jojo and making you know at the end
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: of the day, it was the right reasons. Yeah, I
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: think you know. For me, I try to be as
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: honest with myself as possible and I'm not gonna say
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: it went on. They're unaware that, you know, it could
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: maybe help. But at the same time, here's the reality
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: of it. I canna say this three years later is
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: what I didn't know it was. It was much uncertainty
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: because that was a conversation I had with myself and
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: even some people that um, you know and we're mentors
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: in my life and stuff outside of that world before
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: it's like, well, if I did go on this show, uh,
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: who knows, Like it may hurt my music career because
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: because now I've got a bunch of reality TV fans
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: that see my image in this in this certain way,
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: and they'll never be able to see me again as
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: a legitimate like, oh, he's an all authentic guy from
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: Texas who just drinks beer in the quintessential country music image.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Because then it will be burned in their mind or
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: in you know, millions of people's mind that he's the
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: he's the Bachelor TV guy, you know what I mean.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: And so it could be the nail in your coffin
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: of a music career too, And so that was a
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: thought that I had. I was like, I don't know
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: what it what it's going to be for a career wise,
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: for a career implication. But I went on there thinking, well,
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: it's kind of like why not. At the end of
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: the day, I was like, well, this is like the
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: most exciting thing that's come up in my life in
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: a long time. I haven't dated anybody literally, and like
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: it had been two or three years at that at
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: that point before I've been in a relations serious relationship
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: of any time. UM, And I was like, well, it
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: won't surely it won't hurt. We'll just try it. We'll
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: see maybe I don't know, but you know, there was
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: no um I thought that. And and obviously when you
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: come off of it, you see that that hey, when
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: you come off the show. I'm not I'm not getting
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: a Grammy or anything. You know, you're not surrounded by
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: multi million dollar music producers, and all of a sudden
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: things are just like popping for you. You know, you can. Yes,
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: there are a lot of people. There are a lot
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: of fans from the TV show that crossed over for
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: a little while, and like, some of them will like
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: your music. Other ones will hate it and say you
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: suck and I'm not into I hate country music. And like,
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: you've got this whole, this conglomerate of fans and they're
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: not necessarily like music fans. So to go on there
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: and I think that your career is going to be
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: just help and and and and you know, propelled forward.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: Um it's it didn't and it and it wasn't It
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: wasn't really about that. It was just I mean it
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: was I was passionate about music. And maybe it helps
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: my career, maybe it hurts my career. I don't know.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: But it's an opportunity to just kind of go do
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: something different, meet two new friends, see the world, maybe
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: fall in love. You know one and thirty chances of
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: falling in love and let's go try it and That's
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: kind of what it was to me at the end
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: of the day. If you if you're a musician and
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: you want to go on a reality show to get fans,
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: why wouldn't you just go on The Voice or American Idol.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: You know, well, there's that, yes, But now that these
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: days from what I hear and Nashville and people that
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: have been on it, it's it's that's a very watered
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: down place to make your music career work now because
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: you've got you know, there's so many of those shows,
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: so many seasons have happened. It's oversaturated, I guess, and
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: so you know, Terry Underwood made it, maybe Miranda Lambert
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: made it, do another show. There's a couple here and there,
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: But for the most part, those people have very mediocre careers. Now,
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: you know, the the other ninety percent of the people
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: that come off those shows, their actual music careers don't
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: segue at all. So um, it's it's it's a tough world.
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: Entertainment business is about art, it's about it's very subjective.
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: It's about what people like at the time. It's about
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: how much hype and how much of a team that
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: you have around you. In the industry, how much money
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: has pumped into the name and image as a as
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: a whole. It's a very complex industry to to have
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: quote unquote you know success or radio success or hundreds
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: of millions of streams, or to be the aspiring edge
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: shearing of the world or you know what what what
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: is success in the music industry is very subjective, you know,
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: so um anyway, for me, music is a passion. It's
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: something that I loved, I wanted to do it, and
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: I'll continue being involved in it with my entire life.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: But like my pedigree or like my my background is
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: in like was was leading soldiers in the military for
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: ten years, was I was in business and and you know,
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: being a small business owner. And that's that's what I've
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: gone back to now as well. And that's that's started
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: a couple of businesses back here in Nashville, one in Kentucky.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: And those are the things that despite you know, how
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: many followers I have or how many TV shows I
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: was on, that won't matter. That's just like of life stuff.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: And and you continue moving forward with your life and
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: the people that are around you, and and and eventually
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: you have to come to terms with the fact that hey,
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: whatever intentions or however much type came from being on
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: one season The Bachelor at or six seasons of the
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: Bachelor spin off or whatever it is, that will eventually
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: kind of fade, you know what I mean, you have
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: to figure out recenting yourself and say what's important in
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: my life? What's my purpose in my life as a person.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: And I think that that would be my advice to
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: these young guys that are just doing their first their
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: first season and maybe they've got to you know, been
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: the villain, or maybe they're going to be the next Bachelor,
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: whatever it is. Like, You've got to just be true
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: to yourself at the end of the day and decide
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: however good or bad this turns out for you. You
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: have to always stay centered and know this is me.
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: What will my life be in ten years when all
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: this fades away, good or bad? You know? So So, Luke,
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: what is your purpose today? Yeah? You know, my purpose
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: today is um working on building a life for my
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: family that I don't have yet. Um, but that is
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: that's in the back of my mind. I mean, I
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: want to build a life for uh. You know, I'm
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: preparing kind of um myself to to raise a family
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: to build the college fund, to build a house, have
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: a farm with kids, can run around on um you know,
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: And and I'm giving back to my military charities, which
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: you know, for a time I kind of got away
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: from that. I was kind of glad to get out
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: of the military for a few years. And then now
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: I'm at a point where I was like, well, that
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: was like a very formidable time in my life. And
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: I'm at some of the best people and and really
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: had some of the best learning experiences and some of
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: the best relationships in my entire life were in the military.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: And and so now you know, I work with five
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: or six military charities very closely every day to find
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: ways to give back, raising awareness for what they do,
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: use whatever platform that has come from this TV time
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: time and and and give back to those military charities
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: from Wounded Warrior Projects, Homes for Heroes UM to Creative Vets,
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: which is the music related charity we work with here
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: in Nashville, UM uh to the Comfort Crew down in Austin, Texas.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: And there's just the list goes on and on. And
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: that's that's the passion of mine. And uh I just
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: I just want to love people and and just and
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: just be a good friend, to stay centered and and
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: be a value of value added to whoever is life
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: that I'm in. I want to say that I'm value
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: to them as a friend, as a as a boss,
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: as a husband, as a father, or whatever. I want
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: to add value to people's lives. So that's that's that's
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: what I'm living for now. We love you, I love you,
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: got Luke. We really started for you guys. Actually, the wedding,

• 47:05
  Speaker 1: cannot wait to talk about you once again. Nothing says

• 48:47
  Speaker 1: you know, Actuley, Let's I want to dive into the episode.
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: Like you said, there isn't a lot to dive into.
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: You know, I think we've we've covered a bunch of topics.
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: But you had a lot of strong opinions early on
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: this season about Peter Key's now obviously gone, and I
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: want to hear from you. Are you surprised, are you saddened?
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: Or was this expected? I think it was pretty darn expected.
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: Like I said, I think last week, I feel like,
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: of all the moments in each episode, the last moment
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: I would think of would be Peter's date or Peter's time.
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I know that they they obviously got along
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: really well. They had some immense physical chemistry, but it
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: seemed like every time I went to recap the episode,
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: Peter was the last thing I thought of. Yeah, you know,
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: it's true. I thought about that last week or I
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: think it was two weeks ago when I was last
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: podcast with you, you had mentioned that theory. I agree,
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: he's now gone. So we moved into the family dates,
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: which I remember this week for me when my parents
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: showed up, This was the most stressful week of the
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: whole season for me, So I was like, really confused.
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: She kept saying my parents, my parents. She didn't say
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: anything about her brother, and then we show up and
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: there's her brother, and then like another couple which her
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: aunt uncle who knows, but we were never introduced, but
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: to anyone other than her two parents, who's kind of weird.
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: It feels weird, right, They're just like, why would you
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: bring people down? Why would they come if they're not
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: gonna be a part of it? And I mean, I
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: know from my parents experience, it's a big commitment, right,
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: You're nervous. You're meeting these people who will potentially be
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: engaged to your son or daughter, and you're meeting them.
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: It takes all day. Like it's not like it's like
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: a fifteen twenty minute talk. It's four hours of conversation.
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: It's a long time. And so like, why would you
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: ask a brother or sister and uncle to come down
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: if they're not even gonna be introduced. I know they
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: took the trip from grit to Greece, super super weird
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: that they just didn't introduce them, because I felt like
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: we were sitting in a room with a couple of
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: strangers there. How long is the conversations with like each
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: each one on one conversation. I mean, so this is
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: how it typically works. It was a little different with me, right,
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: because there's only three of us, Like it's my parents,
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: and I I was nervous because your parents don't sign
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: up this whole thing, and so they're gonna get thrown
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: into this world. All of a sudden, they're meeting these
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: two women who, for me like they're like, well, he's
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: obviously in love. This seems to be a good thing.
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: I have no clue about any of them, and now
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be on national television trying to, like,
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: in you know, a short amount of time, figure out
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: what's best for my son. It's a lot, and I'm
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: sure everybody stressed out. Every family stresses out about this.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: But the mom or dad or both probably have like
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: an hour conversation. So if you have four people to
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: talk to you, you're there four hours. And then then
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: the bachelor bachelorrette talks to their parents for a good hour.
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, again, it's an all day adventure. Do you
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: think that they legitimately preferred Tyler over Jed that much
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: or that was a lot of just what we saw
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: I think. Oh, I mean here's another thing, and we've
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: seen it season over season over season. This is one
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: of those consistent storylines that you know, it just happens.
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know why, but it feels like the family
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: is never in favor of the person that is kind
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: of her the favorite in her heart. And I think
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: it's like the front runner, and like, as Hannah said,
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: you know, Jed the nissance beginning, and Tyler is kind
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: of this new thing for her. Who knows if at
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: the end, you know, she ends up continuing this thing
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: with Tyler or not. But we've all known Jed for
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: a while now, and if we didn't have this information
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: about his ex girlfriend released, I bet we're all pretty
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: big Jed fans at this point. And and when this
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: was being filmed, you know, Jed was the front runner
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: and like and kind of, like the dad said to Hannah,
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: Jed was answering these questions well, like he was kind
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: of dancing around the answers, and his answers kind of
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: pointed to like what is your dream, you know, support
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: a family? And he's like, well, I want to support
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: my family one day, have multiple ways of income. It's like,
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: well everybody wants multiple ways of income. Like how how
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: are you going to get there? Jaed? Like, be a man,
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: how are you going to get there? How? What are
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: you what are you doing now to further your career?
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: In your foundation for the future. And his response was,
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: you know, he got this gig with a dog food company.
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know anything about jingles, Like, I don't know
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: how like it was portrayed as if it was they
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: were kind of demeaning him, like the dog food jingle.
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: But honestly, a dog food jingle like for arms, could
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: be like a really big deal blue Buffalo. I mean
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: like it could be like a big deal, so it's
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: something to be little. However, it definitely came across that way.
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: You know what it reminds me of. I mean, Charlie
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: sheen On to DApp men made a really good living
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: doing jingles the best. He had a house on the
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: Pacific Coast Highway or something exactly. So I can't hate
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: on a man for doing jingles. But the family was
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: definitely concerned because I think they saw, well a lot
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: of us have seen this season, that Jed doesn't necessarily
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: have a foundation that he's building on right now, and
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: he's throwing a lot of his eggs in the music basket. Right.
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: Can we talk about how it was seemed super obvious
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: that Jed was the front runner in Hannah's heart when
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: she got angry at her mom being like, I knew
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: you guys were going to do this. I knew you
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: were going to say this about him. Yeah. She she
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: definitely showed her true colors, right, like we know who
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: her favorite is. She was very protective of Jed, and
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean good for her in a sense.
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: But also, you know, when when I do with my family,
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: they know a lot, and you should listen to their
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: opinion because they can see things that you don't see
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: because you've been so entranced in this world for so long.
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: And I think it's easy to get defensive because you
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: can say, you know it's your parents. Oh, you just
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: don't know the full story. But that could be to
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: their benefit. And I think Hannah's parents are pretty spot
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: on so far on what they're seeing. Do you agree, Yeah? Yeah,
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: And I think that Tyler is obviously going to be
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: the guy who's like more warm and masculine and seems
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: like more of a protector. I think he's definitely going
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: to be like most parents favorite based on the first impression. Ben,
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: don't mean to get awkward here, but didn't your parents
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: quote prefer Jojo? Yeah? I mean that's how Yeah, And
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: so I talked to him afterwards, and this was the
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: response I got from them, right, because it's obviously going
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: to be shown like you support one side or together.
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: And my mom is very opinionated and she loves her
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: son very much, and so she had very strong opinions
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: about who I was going to propose to. Hey, call
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: her crazy, but I think every parents should have an
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: opinion on who, you know, who their kids falling love with.
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: And as she explained it to me, because I didn't
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: get to see the whole thing, she said, yeah, I
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: voiced opinions positive and negative about both, and obviously I
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: couldn't like saying who my favorite was because I didn't
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: know these girls. So like it came off as like
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: she was super you know, supportive of Jojo, and she's like,
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: at the time, all I knew is that Joejo and
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: I had a great conversation. It seemed fun, She seemed fun,
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: and she seemed to really care about you because I
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: didn't have a lot of negative to say about either
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: of them because I didn't know either of them. So like,
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: you're gonna sit there and go, you know, who's your
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: favorite at this point, and it's kind of like throwing
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: darts with a you know, a blindfold on. It's like, well,
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know which one, like both of them they
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: seem fine, like this is this is whatever. So the show,
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: this is the one part of the show that I
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: get pretty sensitive about because they did, you know, show
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: my mother supporting Joejoe more and after talking to her,
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: she's like, I didn't support either of them more. And
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: then you watch it backseason or season and I just
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: know how much it affects the family and the relationship afterwards. Yeah,
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: so what do you think that Hannah is going to
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: feel with her family after this is awesome? I think
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: she's gonna I mean, we'll have to wait once again.
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, actually, this is one of the craziest seasons
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: because we don't know how this is gonna end. We
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: know that there's this episode, we know that there's like
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: this ends obviously somehow. But if Hannah is like super
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: relieved that this information about Jed came out so that
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: she sees the truth, then she's probably gonna be appreciative
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: of her parents for carry now. If they're together and
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: they're trying to make this thing work, this episode is
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: gonna be pretty hard for them. The watch. Yeah, that's
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: so true. Well, let's talk a little bit about how
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: we have no we have no idea what's going to
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: happen tomorrow. So this episode was like, it wasn't bland.
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: It was a good episode, But the most dramatic parts
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: of it were Hannah's issue with Hannah's family's issue with Jed,
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: and then seeing her with Jed by the water and
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: talking about how she she just kind of straight up
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: told Jed she was like they like Tyler Moore. You know,
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: that was the most dramatic part. But I also have
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: to say that, based on watching this episode, I think
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: that there's a connection with Jed that she doesn't have
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: with Tyler. I think she wants to be connected with
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: Tyler the way she's with Jed. I think she wants
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: to pick Tyler, but she knows that she has something
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: more unspoken and unspoken connection with Jed. Can we also
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: comment that Jed and Hannah's hometown dates and family meeting
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: dates have just gone really I mean, like really bad.
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: They've both been pretty awful. But do you feel me
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: when you say when I say that I think the
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: connection was stronger with Jed. They like have real conversations.
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: It's not just fluff. I do feel like with Tyler
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: it's a lot of fluff. Yeah, I mean I do,
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: because Tyler has that like one liner communication style where
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: he comes in he goes, I'm in love with Hannah
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: Brown and you know, he you see and you like it.
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: It works, but like, I don't think it like cultivates
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: the deepest like back and forth conversation. And I think,
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think she's a little bit at ease
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: with Jed too. I mean she I think she's into
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: him both, but Jed, I don't know how this is
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: going to come up. Jed doesn't really intimidate her, meaning
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: like not in like a good way. Like I think
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: when she's around Tyler, she's like a little anxious and
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: nervous still, But I think Jed brings her to ease,
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: like makes her just like be yourself. And I don't
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: know if Tyler is like because how much she just
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: is like blown away by who he is as a human.
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: She's still a little nervous and so she's not fully relaxed. Oh,
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I can interpret it like that.
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: I just feel like Tyler doesn't challenge her, and she
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: feels more challenged by Jed. I have a perfect analogy here.
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: For all of you guys who have seen the movie Enchanted?
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: Do you remember Enchanted? Do you remember? Don't say? Are
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: you kidding me? It's a fantastic movie. Are you king
• 1:00:04

• 1:00:10

• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: who've seen it, um, what's his what's his name? What? James? Okay?
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: So in the movie Amy Adams is like a princess.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: I don't need to give you the synopsis. This is
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: really only for people who have seen the movie and Chanted. Um,
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: Jed is Patrick Dempsey. He's like that flawed, real human character.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: He's kind of cynical. That's Jed. She never thought she
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: would end up with anyone like that. She thought she
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: was going to end up with like this charming prince
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: who said the most wonderful pleasant things. And that was
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: James Marson's character. And I think James Marsin's character is Tyler.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: And she's like, oh, I want to like him, but
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: why am I so drawn to this like grouchier version.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: This is more guy. She ends up like finding herself
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: more drawn to the rougher conversations that she has with
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: Patrick Dempsey ak Jed than she does with the fluffy
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: fairy tale convos that she has with James Marriston. I mean,
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: I'm going to assume that was a good analogy. I
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: have zero idea, But hey, Ashley, we gotta take a
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: second and take a break and talk about one of
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: our favorite sponsors. Before the break, Ashley was giving us
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: an amazing analogy on a movie I've never seen about
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: how Hannah's in the Jed over Tyler. I'm sure it
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: was great. Please email us once again if you thought
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: she was right or wrong. Actually, um, I I cut
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: you off to talk about some of our sponsors. Um,
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: but what are your final thoughts on this episode? It
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: wasn't super exciting in my opinion, and it just is
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: leading up to something that I think will blow our minds.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: I agree. So I think in conclusion, she wants to
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: like Tyler. She does like Tyler, but I don't think
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: she loves him. I don't think she sees a future
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: with him. Um. I think that even when she says
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: certain things about him in her in her interview like
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: I could see being in his arms forever. It's almost
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: a little forced, and I have Tori here in the
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: studio nodding in a grants. It's almost like the producers
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: were like, well, can you see being with him forever?
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: And then she's like, I can see being in his
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: arms forever. Like I've been able. I've said I haven't
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: really like lied or anything in the I T M Room,
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: but there are certain things that you end up like
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: trying to act, to say with certainty when you definitely
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: don't feel certain about them. But you're like, I'm gonna
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: get through this line because I know I want to
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: get out of here, and I just feel like that's
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: how she's been talking about Tyler, which I know is
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: shocking to all of America. He has one point one
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: million followers, and that is unprecedented for a male UH contestant.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: I don't think any contestant has ever gotten that from
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: one season, one point one million followers. He has Gigi
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: Hadid following him on Instagram. This man is wanted, but
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: I don't know how much he's wanted by Hannah Uh. Conversely,
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: the Jed Day was messy, not just the family component,
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: but also the boat component in which Hannah was super
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: ce sick or just sick in general over the decision
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: that she had to make. But it's the one that
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: she connects. He's the guy that she connects with the most.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: And I just feel like, I don't know, it's it's
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: there between the two of them, And even though it's there,
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: I still don't think that's her husband. I don't even
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: think Hannah thinks that either of these guys are her husband.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: The more that I watch her, like the all the
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: little nuances in these episodes, I didn't even know that
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: she's like referring to husband, She's referring to an engagement,
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: but she's not saying like this is my forever guy.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: So if this, if she ends up picking Jed, and
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: the whole girlfriend thing, uh continues to just make this
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: whole situation even sloppier. I feel like I see her
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: being like, you know what, at the end of the day,
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: I didn't even see myself marrying him and being single.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: That's my prediction for what could happen tomorrow if she
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: ends up picking Jed. But like I said, like we
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: have inside sources saying looks as if even the producers
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: don't know what's going to go down tomorrow's live episode,
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: so that is pretty juicy. It is definitely, it's funny,
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: and this is one of those seasons. Actually, I've got
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: to admit, we went into it and I was critical
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: of Hannah. You weren't. You're super supportive of her, like
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: this is a great choice, and then it hit me like, yeah, Okay,
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: this is gonna be fun she's gonna be awkward, she's
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: gonna be funny. But how are they really going to
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: do anything different with her season as they have in
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: the past, And somehow, some way they pulled off once
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: again where this season will have an ending unlike anything
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: we've seen before. I'm telling you, we're gonna be here
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: talking about it though. The almost famous podcast is going
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: no meat where. No matter what we do, we're gonna
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: be here talking. So we're gonna have an episode after
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: the final finale as well. It's gonna be great, it's
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: gonna be wild, We're gonna have fun with it. Uh,
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: and just holding onto your seats. We're gonna have a
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: special guest who who's that? We can't even say. I
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: don't even know if it's confirmed for us. I don't
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: even know if they're giving us a name yet, but
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: we are give being given a special guest. They're not
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: telling us who it is, but we know it's special
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: and it's a man, and it's even more special than
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: Ashley and I can bind. Speaking of things special to us,
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: we got to talk about one of our favorite sponsors,
• 1:06:07

  Speaker 1: favorite time in the podcast. Yeah, we've got to. I mean,
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: that's the coolest thing is when we have time in
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: a podcast to do a few emails. Um, and I
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: think there's a few on here that we should definitely highlight.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: Here's here's the here's the question. Okay, from Tallia, We've
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: just been talking about Paradise a lot. The question she
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: has is can Luke P redeem himself? Something said on
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: this week's pod really stood out to me. It was
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: a disgusting discussion on whether Luke P could ever redeem
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: himself or going batchel on Paradise. From what I understood
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: the group consists was that he could not redeem himself.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: This made me think of Chris ran Done, who was
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: somewhat of villain on Becca season. However, Chris ended up
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: finding love with Crystal, who was the villain on our season.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: Maybe if Luke went on Paradise and found love not engage,
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: everyone's perception of him would shift. What do you both
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: think of this? Would a good love story? Undo or
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: rewrite the narrative of a villain's nightmare? Wow? Great email?
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: Tell you you really make me consider I think it would.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: I think if Luke P went on to Paradise and
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: kind of humbled, humbled himself and didn't take such a
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: stance like he was always right and that everybody else
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: in the world had to be wrong because he had
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: you know, got on his side then, and and maybe
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: he opened his heart up to actually falling in love
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: and being vulnerable. I think we would all say good
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: on you. I think Talia, what we were talking about
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: as the group in Tahoe was that we're concerned that,
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: based on mental all, that he is at the point
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: yet where he could redeem himself. I think we're still
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: like a little bit worried that he hasn't learned enough yet,
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: especially back when UM filming started for Paradise, which was
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: in early June. That would have meant that he only
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: got off Hannah season about a month earlier. But I'm
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: not saying that it's impossible and that he can't. I
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: think that we don't see him in previous or Paradise,
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: and I think he's The likelihood of him being there
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: is UM not high. But I do think it'd be
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: a great thing for him to do to try to
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: redeem himself next summer for Paradise, and then it'll give
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: people the audience some time to cool down on their
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: feelings about Luke anyway. Yeah, yeah, I mean know, I
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: think honestly he's going to kind of fade out and
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: and it will no longer be a thing. He and
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: I got into it on Twitter last week. Pretty good brother,
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: I guess his brother. Yeah, I heard about the thing. Yeah,
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: It's just frustrating to me, and I'm done with it.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: You know. Sometimes it's it's like a clinging gong. It
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: just can't get anything to like, you can't even converse
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: and when you know, the one thing that I just
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: really upsets me about people is when they dismiss other
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: people completely and they don't even want to have a conversation.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: And and this thing there's this like idea Ashley and
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: and it's happened for years, and it's one of the
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: biggest problems with with Christianity and the church is once
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: you have a topic that your stand firm on and
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: you have and anybody disagrees with you, you just go
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: to this thing of like, well, of course the world
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: is gonna do agree with me because I'm not of
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: the world. And that's always a comment that you hear,
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: is like, I'm not of the world, so the world
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: is going to disagree with me. They won't be on
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: my side. And it's such a b S way to
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: just dismiss any type of like good debate or conversation
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: into seed to come to truth and that was what's happening.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: So I'm done with it. I'm not good. I'm I'm
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: no longer participating in the loop P story. All right,
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: then let's move on to another email. This one is
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: from Bailey. It's about my sister's speech at the wedding.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: Instead of doing the super nerve racking speeches in front
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: of everyone, we had the maid of honor best man's
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: siblings pre record of video speeches and then we had
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: them all compiled onto one DVD and had it played
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: on a projector at the reception. And doing this, we
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: now have copies of the speeches and it's fun to
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: go back and watch some time to time. Uh, I
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: don't know how I feel. I mean, like, this is
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: great for you guys. I'm glad that you did this
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: because you you like the way it turned out. I
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: think we're going to have the speeches on tape from
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: the videographers anyway. I like uh an in person speech,
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: but I did tell my sister that I would prefer
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: her to record her speech on video like you guys did,
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: then have her not do a speech at all, or
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: have her speech done at the rehearsal dinner. So thank
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: you for this suggestion. It's definitely something I've considered. I
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: wouldn't do it for everyone. I like the in person speeches,
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: but if my sister is truly that nervous, then I'm
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: fine with her doing a video. I told I was
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: joking on my I don't get a podcast, that the
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: best case scenario for her would be if we had
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: um what are they called a hologram, A hologram of
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: Lauren just all of a sudden, she goes for and
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: she pops up it as a twin version next to herself,
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: and she gives the space that way. Yeah, you're just
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: a few you're just a few years too early getting
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: married in I know. I was like, Lauren, you could
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: lip sync it. I was like, well, the DJ play it,
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: you just have to memorize it so you can lip
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: sync it. Uh, that's awesome. Hey, Ashley, you're the best.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: So pumped for you and Jerry coming up soon. We're
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: gonna keep talking about your wedding, even though you feel
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: like we're over talked it. I know that the world
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: is so I don't know. Pretty sure they're tired of it.
