- 0:45Speaker 1: I've never liked going out really, but it used to
- 0:48Speaker 1: be way more tolerable when I was single, because that's
- 0:51Speaker 1: when you're like, what could happen? I could meet the
- 0:53Speaker 1: love of my life tonight, right, And then when since
- 0:58Speaker 1: we've been coupled up, I've just been like, there's absolutely
- 1:01Speaker 1: no point to going out. I'd like to have dinners
- 1:03Speaker 1: with my friends. I like to hang out in the
- 1:05Speaker 1: green room with you guys and talk, but I don't
- 1:08Speaker 1: need to drink. No, I get it. No, And I
- 1:12Speaker 1: actually Actually I felt old this trip also because um,
- 1:17Speaker 1: Jason and Blake came with us, and I was I bet,
- 1:20Speaker 1: I was in bed three hours before them every night,

- 2:58Speaker 1: How are you good? I'm glad to be back on
- 3:01Speaker 1: in this ball Well, last time you're on, we were
- 3:03Speaker 1: talking about Eric and then we saw your entire story
- 3:07Speaker 1: with him unfold. Were you secretly talking to Clay back
- 3:11Speaker 1: when you were recording that podcast about two months ago? Um?
- 3:15Speaker 1: I actually was not at that point. I definitely, I
- 3:19Speaker 1: know right, I actually was not talking to Clay at
- 3:22Speaker 1: that point. All still, like man, Paradise didn't work out
- 3:26Speaker 1: for me. Now I'm kind of back at Twitter one.
- 3:29Speaker 1: This speaks so yeah. Um so how we met? So basically,
- 3:36Speaker 1: Chris rand Down, Um, was, you know, my best guy
- 3:40Speaker 1: friend from the show besides John. They were kind of
- 3:43Speaker 1: my two closest guy friends from Paradise and very very
- 3:48Speaker 1: very early in Paradise, Chris and Kenny and I were
- 3:53Speaker 1: all in the pool and we're all kind of going over, um,
- 3:56Speaker 1: you know, our list, that's who we were hoping to
- 3:59Speaker 1: show up, and I was you know, they asked me
- 4:02Speaker 1: about mine and I said, you know who. I really
- 4:04Speaker 1: thought I would maybe hit it off with with Clay,
- 4:06Speaker 1: and literally before the worst even came out of my mouth,
- 4:09Speaker 1: Chris was like, oh my god, stop it. You guys
- 4:13Speaker 1: would be perfect together. He's my boy, blah blah blah.
- 4:17Speaker 1: And like he Chris was just all about it. He
- 4:20Speaker 1: was like this, you guys, like you know how Chris
- 4:22Speaker 1: gets all conpected and um, I was like really and
- 4:25Speaker 1: he was like listen, He's like, if nothing works out
- 4:28Speaker 1: for you here after the show, like this is happening,
- 4:33Speaker 1: I'm gonna hook it up. And I was like, yeah, yeah, whatever,
- 4:36Speaker 1: And you know, I didn't think anything of it. They
- 4:38Speaker 1: said he wasn't coming, probably because he was focusing on football,
- 4:42Speaker 1: and so you know, that was kind of the last
- 4:43Speaker 1: that I thought about. I was like, I'm going to
- 4:45Speaker 1: focus on who's here. I really want a relationship out
- 4:48Speaker 1: of Paradise, and so I kind of put it in
- 4:50Speaker 1: the back of my mind and uh and then low
- 4:53Speaker 1: and behold. Uh oh, well later I actually it's so funny.
- 4:57Speaker 1: I was speaking a nap and I don't for take naps,
- 5:01Speaker 1: and I woke up from the snaps and the text
- 5:05Speaker 1: from Chris and he was like, Hey, what's your like
- 5:08Speaker 1: situation right now? Ask you for a friend dot dot Okay,
- 5:15Speaker 1: And it's kind of like the rest of history, it's
- 5:17Speaker 1: the same. So then when did you actually meet? So
- 5:21Speaker 1: we actually met. Um. I went out to seenix um
- 5:26Speaker 1: and we met up and we spent um a couple
- 5:30Speaker 1: of days in Phoenix, and then we were in l
- 5:31Speaker 1: A for a while and honestly, like we've been together
- 5:36Speaker 1: so much like ever since then, Like, yes, we're long distance,
- 5:40Speaker 1: but it doesn't feel like it, just because we're constantly together. UM.
- 5:44Speaker 1: I was just with him this morning. UM. We were
- 5:47Speaker 1: in Miami with Kristal and Chris for a couple of
- 5:51Speaker 1: weekends and UM, I just went up to Boston from
- 5:54Speaker 1: the Boston right now, UM, and then I'm flying back
- 5:58Speaker 1: to Chicago on Friday to see him. So it's like
- 6:01Speaker 1: really new a couple of days at a time. That's
- 6:03Speaker 1: so great. I don't know, I like my heart is
- 6:07Speaker 1: so happy, y'all. It's the same. What was it about
- 6:11Speaker 1: him initially that attracted you to him? Like, what was
- 6:14Speaker 1: it that kind of drew you in? Yeah. So it's
- 6:17Speaker 1: really funny because you know, I only got to see
- 6:20Speaker 1: one episode before we left the film for Paradise because
- 6:23Speaker 1: I was there. It's like part of the original cast,
- 6:25Speaker 1: and everybody from the original cast only got to see
- 6:28Speaker 1: the one episode. It was very more stepisodes. And um,
- 6:31Speaker 1: I just remember that they did like a package on him,
- 6:35Speaker 1: like an intro package video, and it's you know, they
- 6:38Speaker 1: showed him like with his family and helping his man,
- 6:41Speaker 1: and you know, he was with dogs. I mean it's
- 6:44Speaker 1: just and like football of course, and my dad's a
- 6:45Speaker 1: football coach. You guys saw on the show. I was
- 6:48Speaker 1: out there throwing football with the guys. It's always been
- 6:50Speaker 1: a big part of my life. Um. So it's like
- 6:53Speaker 1: the family value. He just seems you know, he likes football,
- 6:56Speaker 1: he like sports. And then he just seemed like a
- 6:59Speaker 1: genuine do who was you know, ready to settle down.
- 7:02Speaker 1: It didn't seem like the same was important to him.
- 7:05Speaker 1: Um and so it just seems like, you know, maybe
- 7:07Speaker 1: we would be on the same level of like what
- 7:10Speaker 1: we were looking for, and um, I was right. So
- 7:15Speaker 1: it's really great because you know, he's thirty one and
- 7:19Speaker 1: he's kind of looking for that next step in his life,
- 7:21Speaker 1: so you know, wanting to settle down and that's what
- 7:23Speaker 1: I'm looking for. Um So so far, so good. Yeah.
- 7:27Speaker 1: So he is living in Chicago and you are living
- 7:29Speaker 1: where I'm still in South Carolina, and so I've kind
- 7:35Speaker 1: of fat before Paradise, I was going to maybe Rick
- 7:37Speaker 1: in Nashville. That's still kind of the plan, but I
- 7:41Speaker 1: know there's been you know, we we're talking, there's been
- 7:44Speaker 1: some things that we're talking about, so you know, I'm
- 7:46Speaker 1: kind of it's great because our schedules are super flexible
- 7:49Speaker 1: right now, so you know, it's kind of like anything
- 7:52Speaker 1: that's possibility at this point. So so he's not picked
- 7:55Speaker 1: up by an NFL team right now, so he kind
- 7:57Speaker 1: of has freedom to move anywhere. Correct. Yeah, Yeah, he is,
- 8:01Speaker 1: um still a free agent, so he's just kind of
- 8:03Speaker 1: like waiting for the call um but like you know,
- 8:05Speaker 1: he still works out and drains every day and he's
- 8:07Speaker 1: staying ready. So you know, he gets picked up, then
- 8:10Speaker 1: you know, I can kind of go wherever. You know,
- 8:13Speaker 1: he gets picked up or whatever. So it's kind of
- 8:16Speaker 1: a perfect time. Like I feel like timing is always
- 8:19Speaker 1: very important in a relationship, and I feel like time
- 8:22Speaker 1: to timing is right for us. Like, like, what kind
- 8:25Speaker 1: of reaction did you guys get when you posted that
- 8:28Speaker 1: picture which I think you posted the day after Eric
- 8:33Speaker 1: and you had the big following out? Okay, y'all, I
- 8:36Speaker 1: honestly mind blown. Okay for Clay, Clay went wrote on
- 8:42Speaker 1: me and he was driving to his brother's house. But
- 8:46Speaker 1: so he sent saying he was driving to his brother's
- 8:48Speaker 1: house to live in Denver and he was bored, I guess,
- 8:51Speaker 1: driving and he starts doing one of those little Q
- 8:53Speaker 1: and A things on Instagram and I'm just you know whatever,
- 8:56Speaker 1: And then somebody asked him. I think, like, oh, would
- 8:59Speaker 1: you be the bachelor if they asked you? And he
- 9:01Speaker 1: was like, well if I was cool with this no
- 9:03Speaker 1: love and everyone's like wait, wait, it's not single. It
- 9:07Speaker 1: was just like a job and no effect. And then
- 9:09Speaker 1: he started I had no idea what was going on.
- 9:12Speaker 1: Then he starts being like, well it's somebody frond, Like
- 9:15Speaker 1: he just started playing, like throwing these clues out, and
- 9:17Speaker 1: I'm like, what are you doing? Because like we hadn't
- 9:19Speaker 1: really we talked about like, oh, maybe we should post
- 9:21Speaker 1: something like soon, just you know, because we didn't want
- 9:24Speaker 1: to wait anymore. You know, you're you know, semi knew,
- 9:28Speaker 1: and you're just excited, you know, you want to share it,
- 9:31Speaker 1: and um, you know, we've been having a kind of
- 9:33Speaker 1: hide a little bit. So he kind of went wrote
- 9:37Speaker 1: and just the story and all of these clues and
- 9:39Speaker 1: was all right, I'm gonna post my women crushed Twinnes today,
- 9:41Speaker 1: first one ever tomorrow at Dune. Literally, people were like
- 9:46Speaker 1: counting down, like messaging him like it's new, and he
- 9:49Speaker 1: was like, I'm on West, I can't, I can't. I'm like,
- 9:52Speaker 1: it's just us, like we're just norm Like we were
- 9:55Speaker 1: blown away that everyone cared so much, and it was
- 9:58Speaker 1: a really positive bump, which obviously made me really happy
- 10:02Speaker 1: and him really happy, and you know we I think
- 10:05Speaker 1: we just didn't anticipate any of that happening, so it
- 10:10Speaker 1: was a little it wasn't cool. People are so excited
- 10:16Speaker 1: for you guys. I know, it's it really makes me
- 10:19Speaker 1: so happy to have the support from everybody because you
- 10:22Speaker 1: just never know, you know, people something that can be
- 10:24Speaker 1: really neat. I'm like everything, how anybody's gonna attack, and
- 10:30Speaker 1: you know, it was just a positive like I really
- 10:33Speaker 1: don't think I saw like blood it is comment. That's
- 10:37Speaker 1: how general I felt. When we came out about it too,
- 10:39Speaker 1: we were like, oh, it'll be a mixed bag, but
- 10:41Speaker 1: it was positive. Everybody was so happy and I was
- 10:46Speaker 1: like a baby, but like, I just didn't anticipate people
- 10:50Speaker 1: pay me that much. I mean, like us Weekly we
- 10:52Speaker 1: posted it, there was articles being written, and I'm just like, wow,
- 10:55Speaker 1: like this is weird because I'm not I'm not used
- 10:58Speaker 1: to that. People love love that's where they love this show. Yeah,
- 11:03Speaker 1: and then you get a couple coming off of it,

- 11:30Speaker 1: you know, I'm glad that I never settled. It's Uh,
- 11:34Speaker 1: it's crazy, actually, and I were just talking about it,
- 11:36Speaker 1: and then I've talked about it a lot this last
- 11:38Speaker 1: couple weeks. The small little decisions in your life can
- 11:41Speaker 1: lead to something so big and so macro like this.
- 11:44Speaker 1: And so all these little things like going on Paradise
- 11:46Speaker 1: and Paradise not working and being mistreated or past relationships
- 11:50Speaker 1: or whatever it was, Uh Chris knowing Clay who Clay
- 11:54Speaker 1: set up for the same See, all this stuff led
- 11:55Speaker 1: to this point now where your life will, no matter
- 11:57Speaker 1: what if this works out or not, be changed forever.
- 12:00Speaker 1: And and that's awesome and it's something to celebrate. So
- 12:03Speaker 1: so we're really happy for you. We we both actually
- 12:07Speaker 1: I both really engaged in your storyline on Paradise. We
- 12:09Speaker 1: didn't love it. Uh, we liked you know, we love her,
- 12:14Speaker 1: We love her. We just didn't what I said, Yeah,
- 12:17Speaker 1: we didn't love it. We love you. Um, but it
- 12:21Speaker 1: was it was tough to watch because you kind of
- 12:23Speaker 1: put yourself out there. You had some great dates and
- 12:27Speaker 1: and it just didn't work out the way that you
- 12:29Speaker 1: wanted it to. Were you hurt by that? Was that
- 12:32Speaker 1: a very real time for you or were you ready
- 12:34Speaker 1: to move on and get out of there. No, I
- 12:37Speaker 1: was honestly like super blindsided. I was very hurt, and
- 12:41Speaker 1: it was it was hard for me to watch back,
- 12:43Speaker 1: especially me crying all the time, you know, because I
- 12:50Speaker 1: it was I got emotional watching it back because I
- 12:53Speaker 1: I just didn't expect that, um from Eric, you know,
- 12:57Speaker 1: and I don't think Eric about christ and him and
- 12:59Speaker 1: I are totally fine, Like we've talked, we've seen each other,
- 13:03Speaker 1: everything passed out. I don't think he's a bad person
- 13:06Speaker 1: at all. Like people you know, are allowed to feel
- 13:08Speaker 1: as I feel they're allowed to, you know, make mistakes.
- 13:10Speaker 1: He admitted, it's you know, it backfired, like you know everything.
- 13:14Speaker 1: But I feel like it's just all goes back to
- 13:16Speaker 1: Everything happens for a reason, and I had to go
- 13:20Speaker 1: through that and grow somehow forward this to happen, like
- 13:23Speaker 1: if you know, if I would have stuck around, or
- 13:26Speaker 1: if you know he wouldn't have gone on that date,
- 13:28Speaker 1: you know, if you always go back and think which
- 13:30Speaker 1: path would have been this, which you know, which path
- 13:32Speaker 1: would have led you here? And I feel like I'm
- 13:34Speaker 1: so happy, Like yes, I was so hurt, so upset. Um,
- 13:39Speaker 1: I basically had a little bit of a breakdown and um,
- 13:43Speaker 1: I you know, it was not embarrassing, but you know,
- 13:46Speaker 1: it shows like it was raw, like when you're I
- 13:48Speaker 1: don't think people realize when you're in it. You know,
- 13:52Speaker 1: it's it's real. It's a real thing that you're going through.
- 13:56Speaker 1: But I'm very happy that, you know, I went through
- 13:59Speaker 1: those loads to now get to the highs of where
- 14:02Speaker 1: I am because you know, I'm I'm just so happy.
- 14:06Speaker 1: I'm so happy. You sound so happy, alright. I literally
- 14:11Speaker 1: like go up to people and they're like, You're glory,
- 14:15Speaker 1: They're so cute. Oh my gosh, I can't wait to
- 14:18Speaker 1: see how this unfolds. Everything is meant to be. Isn't
- 14:20Speaker 1: it cool that you had to take these steps in
- 14:22Speaker 1: order to find him? Yeah? I know. And it's just like,
- 14:25Speaker 1: you know, I really went in Paradise want to find
- 14:28Speaker 1: my husband to find you know, I know the show worked,
- 14:32Speaker 1: and I felt like that process would be a great
- 14:35Speaker 1: thing for me and I you know, I really truly
- 14:38Speaker 1: went in there like, man, like, I really hope I
- 14:40Speaker 1: find my husband. And I was, you know, very let
- 14:43Speaker 1: down and disappointed and hurt and you know things like
- 14:46Speaker 1: that after I left. But you know, like I said,
- 14:49Speaker 1: I was just I'm so glad that I went through it,
- 14:51Speaker 1: because you know, if I didn't end up going on
- 14:54Speaker 1: Paradise this time or whatever, I would have met Chris.
- 14:56Speaker 1: And then I was like, it's just crazy, Like still
- 15:00Speaker 1: everything is all connected, It really is. Angela, You're doing awesome.

- 20:14Speaker 1: I never danced before, so that was the first dance

- 21:01Speaker 1: to dance. So have you have you been rehearsing with
- 21:05Speaker 1: Kendall at all? Yeah? Kendall, Kendall, He'll say, practice. She's
- 21:10Speaker 1: she's not bad either. She uh, she picked it up
- 21:13Speaker 1: a lot warterer than me. Like when she went to
- 21:15Speaker 1: my practice, what it took me seven days and screw up.
- 21:20Speaker 1: She picked it up in like two minutes. So I
- 21:23Speaker 1: this is okay. Just let's uh, this is pretty cool
- 21:26Speaker 1: for us. We could talk to Joe right before he
- 21:28Speaker 1: goes on to Dancing with the Stars. I mean, you're
- 21:31Speaker 1: dancing tonight. I'm always intrigued. And a couple of the
- 21:34Speaker 1: bachelors in the past have done this, and Bachelor contestants
- 21:37Speaker 1: and people that we know. I mean, you have to
- 21:40Speaker 1: be and I know you've said it, but how nervous
- 21:42Speaker 1: are you preparing for this? Like how nervous are all
- 21:45Speaker 1: the celebrities and stars getting ready to go out there
- 21:48Speaker 1: and dance? This isn't this is you know I did
- 21:50Speaker 1: Millionaire Actually, you know I talked about this millionaire with
- 21:53Speaker 1: Chris Harrison, and I was as nervous as I've ever
- 21:55Speaker 1: been for anything on television because I thought I was
- 21:57Speaker 1: gonna be done right away. I would imagine every week
- 22:00Speaker 1: I'm Dancing with the Stars, is that times a bajillion? Yeah,
- 22:05Speaker 1: it's like so even when I'm out, I get a
- 22:08Speaker 1: bar met and she starts dancing. I get anxiety just
- 22:13Speaker 1: doing that. So mean here being on television. You know
- 22:18Speaker 1: there's seven hundred people in the sands and millions watching.
- 22:23Speaker 1: I think I have many part attacks throughout the day,
- 22:25Speaker 1: and I think that's what's going on. You shorten years
- 22:29Speaker 1: off my life. I remember you told me that when
- 22:35Speaker 1: Chris Harrison sat on that couch with you and said
- 22:37Speaker 1: Joe Dancing with the Stars would like to have you
- 22:40Speaker 1: as one of their contestants, you truly felt like you
- 22:44Speaker 1: wanted to say now, I almost yeah, I really did.
- 22:48Speaker 1: Like my My initial reaction was no, bax that um,
- 22:57Speaker 1: But you know, I'm happy, I said, it's It's been
- 23:00Speaker 1: a lot of fun, even with all the nerves and
- 23:03Speaker 1: anxiety and still, uh, I'm still finding way until myself,
- 23:09Speaker 1: I don't I don't know if I believe you, buddy,
- 23:11Speaker 1: I really don't. But anyways, I was talking about it's
- 23:17Speaker 1: really I mean it's shore really, I mean, they really
- 23:20Speaker 1: take care of you, and it's it's I mean, it's nice,
- 23:22Speaker 1: it really is. It's just that the hard parts are
- 23:26Speaker 1: our show days will never racking, a little nerve racked.
- 23:29Speaker 1: What was more nerve racking coming out of the limo
- 23:32Speaker 1: or your first dance? Oh, I knew that. I knew
- 23:35Speaker 1: that question was Tommy, Um, the limo. The limo was
- 23:40Speaker 1: only because I never who's ever in front of a
- 23:43Speaker 1: camera really before that, so I didn't know what to expect.
- 23:46Speaker 1: I feel like now if I got out of Litmo,
- 23:48Speaker 1: I'd be like a prom But um, the Litto the
- 23:52Speaker 1: limo was more nerve racked than Yeah, that was really
- 23:58Speaker 1: hard for me. I don't know why, but it's really difficult. Well,
- 24:01Speaker 1: we know because you've got eliminated night one. Yeah, well, UM,
- 24:05Speaker 1: give us a little teaser of what we're expecting tonight.
- 24:08Speaker 1: I know we gotta let you go. I know you're busy,
- 24:10Speaker 1: but tonight, how confident do you feel in this dance? Ben? Honestly,
- 24:18Speaker 1: I think I'm in the nail of this dance tonight. Okay, Yes,
- 24:23Speaker 1: Joe and I'll be wearing. So there you go. That's
- 24:27Speaker 1: your teaser. Joe, Jared and I will be in the
- 24:31Speaker 1: audience reading you on tomorrow night. Awesome that I appreciate
- 24:35Speaker 1: you guys coming. It's great. I can't wait. I need
- 24:39Speaker 1: people to cheer for me. Well, vote twelve times. Thanks,
- 24:45Speaker 1: all right, Thank that poor guy. He's so nervous. It's
- 24:51Speaker 1: great though, it really is. I can't imagine doing it.
- 24:54Speaker 1: I think you'd probably pretty good at it, but like
- 24:57Speaker 1: you have to be really nervous going on stage there. Yeah,
- 25:00Speaker 1: but Ben, you know that I hate dancing like I
- 25:02Speaker 1: don't dance in the club. I'm the snaughtiest looking person
- 25:05Speaker 1: in the club. Resting bitch face doesn't do it justice.
- 25:09Speaker 1: I look miserable because you know, I don't know if
- 25:13Speaker 1: you saw this into story that Jared put up a
- 25:15Speaker 1: couple days ago. He played Hairspray. I was dancing all
- 25:18Speaker 1: around the apartment. That's the only kind of dancing I
- 25:20Speaker 1: feel natural with. You play Broadway music in the club,
- 25:23Speaker 1: all get up. But any other type of music my
- 25:26Speaker 1: body cannot move to. It refuses to. I'm with you
- 25:32Speaker 1: this interesting now, all these kids in the club in Vegas,
- 25:36Speaker 1: Um I I didn't know if people still grinded like
- 25:40Speaker 1: how people dance in the club these days. But we
- 25:42Speaker 1: were just out there, like we said, And I sit
- 25:44Speaker 1: on the side, and and it really does make me
- 25:47Speaker 1: a worse person to be in the club for no
- 25:49Speaker 1: other reason other than I just complain. And I don't
- 25:52Speaker 1: mean to complain. That's why I don't go because I feel, Oh,
- 25:56Speaker 1: the music is too loud, my drinks are too expensive. Uh,
- 26:00Speaker 1: there's too many flashing lights. Oh this you know the
- 26:04Speaker 1: my buddy next to me has some girl making out
- 26:07Speaker 1: with him and Seal Awkwards. I shouldn't be here for this,
- 26:10Speaker 1: Like none of it makes sense to me. And here's
- 26:13Speaker 1: a crazy part is you just want to have okay, ash,
- 26:16Speaker 1: What if I just want to have a nice tequila
- 26:18Speaker 1: and soda or an old fashioned and that sounds fun
- 26:21Speaker 1: to me, I'm gonna get crazy. It's like, yeah, I know, Um,
- 26:28Speaker 1: I feel like I'm the worst version of myself in
- 26:30Speaker 1: the club. But if you give me like two glasses
- 26:34Speaker 1: of like cranberry vodka and then I go and play
- 26:37Speaker 1: Broadway music in my hotel room, that is a party
- 26:40Speaker 1: to me. Yeah, and then there shirtless um hey, uh,
- 26:47Speaker 1: you know what else? Makes me the best version of myself?
- 26:50Speaker 1: Could it be Litote? It really could be. Littote definitely
- 26:56Speaker 1: makes me ash the absolute best version of myself, and
- 27:01Speaker 1: I think it makes you the best version of yourself.
- 27:05Speaker 1: About I was gonna say, Lotto is probably more for me.
- 27:09Speaker 1: You can the main the amazing thing about Litoe is
- 27:14Speaker 1: that it makes everything about shopping easier than going into
- 27:19Speaker 1: the store because you can rent unlimited fashion. You just
- 27:23Speaker 1: wear it, you return it, and then you get more
- 27:25Speaker 1: fashion that fits you great because everything there's like fitters.
- 27:31Speaker 1: They take your measurements and ratings and they learn not
- 27:35Speaker 1: just about what your size is, like your numbers, but
- 27:37Speaker 1: the nuances about how you like your clothes to fit.
- 27:40Speaker 1: Like I like my tops to be fitted, but I
- 27:43Speaker 1: kind of like my pants to be a little bit
- 27:45Speaker 1: looser just because of my body shape. And with Littoe
- 27:47Speaker 1: you can do that. Women normally return forty of the
- 27:52Speaker 1: clothing that they buy. That's like outrageous. I can't believe that.
- 27:55Speaker 1: And Litoe created their universal sizing system to fit across
- 28:00Speaker 1: all different brands, because sometimes you'll go to Gap and
- 28:02Speaker 1: you'll be one size and you go to Express in
- 28:04Speaker 1: your different size Welletote eliminates that hassle. So the seamstress
- 28:08Speaker 1: teams they work to match to universal and specific sizing
- 28:13Speaker 1: and you get to rent pieces that fit and then
- 28:15Speaker 1: you get to send in the backs. You're never an
- 28:17Speaker 1: outfit repeater. I've noticed that sometimes I've been I've been
- 28:21Speaker 1: like wanting to repeat outfits and then I just have
- 28:23Speaker 1: to remind myself to go to littote because with littsote,
- 28:27Speaker 1: I can rent unlimited fashion. I just wear it, return it,
- 28:29Speaker 1: and discover more. It'll take the stress out of getting dressed.

- 28:52Speaker 1: like the last couple of podcasts we have had massive
- 28:55Speaker 1: Bachelor news. I mean it really feels like we could
- 28:57Speaker 1: talk about the Bachelor forever and ever and never talk
- 29:00Speaker 1: about ourselves, which is what the offseason is all about.
- 29:03Speaker 1: Um So today we have to talk about Bachelor news.
- 29:06Speaker 1: So in this segment, we're going to run everybody through
- 29:08Speaker 1: as quick as possible, ash I'll read the headline, you
- 29:12Speaker 1: comment as much as you know or as much as
- 29:14Speaker 1: you want to. We're gonna scroll through some of the
- 29:16Speaker 1: biggest Bachelor news and Bachelor Nation this week. Angela and
- 29:21Speaker 1: Clay was definitely one of those. Congratulations them on on
- 29:24Speaker 1: their new love. Jojo and Jordan's one America's favorite couples,
- 29:30Speaker 1: have a new web series. It's called Engaged with Jojo
- 29:33Speaker 1: and Jordan. I don't even know about this. I saw
- 29:35Speaker 1: it on Instagram, Ashley. What is it? So? It's this
- 29:38Speaker 1: new once a week series where Jordan and Jojo get
- 29:41Speaker 1: together on a couch and they just make it seem
- 29:44Speaker 1: like they are talking to you straight from their living
- 29:46Speaker 1: room about different kind of relationship issues, what they did
- 29:49Speaker 1: during the week, I think, but also just like fan
- 29:52Speaker 1: questions or stuff that is of fan interest about how
- 29:55Speaker 1: they navigate their relationship because they are all over the
- 29:59Speaker 1: place all the time time. It seems like they have
- 30:00Speaker 1: a zillion shows either in the works or then he
- 30:03Speaker 1: has the ESPN thing. So it's all going to be
- 30:07Speaker 1: about how you have a young, engaged couple and how
- 30:11Speaker 1: how they work together and how they can help other
- 30:14Speaker 1: people get through their relationship struggles. I mean, I'm I'm
- 30:17Speaker 1: a little envious, I'll be honest, um, because I thought
- 30:21Speaker 1: that's what Happily ever After it was going to be.
- 30:23Speaker 1: It's like a really good feeling show where highlights are
- 30:26Speaker 1: really healthy couple. It shows us the struggles, but it
- 30:29Speaker 1: also shows the successes. And it never became that. It
- 30:32Speaker 1: felt a lot more I guess dark and just it
- 30:35Speaker 1: always felt like it just felt like it was there
- 30:38Speaker 1: was things being pulled out of us that mean, okay,
- 30:43Speaker 1: so if you have a sensitive spot in your relationship,
- 30:45Speaker 1: felt like the show was trying to pull that out
- 30:47Speaker 1: always instead of highlighting the ways that we could get,
- 30:50Speaker 1: you know, over it. So I'm envious. I think this
- 30:53Speaker 1: is gonna be good for him, especially if it feels
- 30:55Speaker 1: good and and and it feels like a healthy show. Yeah,
- 30:59Speaker 1: that you're right, Um, Happily ever after it was kind
- 31:01Speaker 1: of like marriage boot Camp where I feel like it
- 31:04Speaker 1: wasn't an issue in your relationship until then it was
- 31:08Speaker 1: a storyline, and then once it was a storyline, it
- 31:11Speaker 1: was an actual problem in your relationship. Like topics that
- 31:15Speaker 1: that that that were just like a little blip in
- 31:18Speaker 1: the radar became huge problems after the show kind of
- 31:23Speaker 1: exploited it. Yeah, I mean it's small things like Lauren
- 31:28Speaker 1: doesn't know that I have an allergy to a certain food, Laura,
- 31:31Speaker 1: does that make you sad that Lauren doesn't know you've been?
- 31:33Speaker 1: And Lauren, is it weird that you don't know? And
- 31:35Speaker 1: once you start imflamtrating yourself with those kind of thoughts
- 31:38Speaker 1: and allowing me, it really messages with you. So uh.
- 31:41Speaker 1: You know, if Jojo and Jordan would ask me should
- 31:43Speaker 1: they do a show about their relationship, I would have
- 31:45Speaker 1: said no. But it sounds like this show is one
- 31:48Speaker 1: that could be good for everybody to watch. So hey,
- 31:50Speaker 1: check out Jojo and Jordan's on Engaged with Jojo and Jordan.
- 31:55Speaker 1: That could have came up with a better name. Not
- 31:57Speaker 1: very creative. It is not very great. Oh. I think
- 32:02Speaker 1: it's engaged, like being like engaged in conversation and also
- 32:06Speaker 1: being engaged with a ring on your finger, perhaps stretching. Ashley,
- 32:11Speaker 1: you're really giving these people a lot of credit. Um, alright,
- 32:16Speaker 1: next headline, Luke pell tweets and elite support for Kavanaugh
- 32:19Speaker 1: got serious backlash, is what we're told. Interesting, Um, you
- 32:25Speaker 1: know that if you haven't heard the name Kavanaugh here
- 32:27Speaker 1: in the last two weeks, you're hiding under the rock.
- 32:31Speaker 1: His trial is going on right now, he's sitting in
- 32:32Speaker 1: front of Senate and Luke decides to show support. And
- 32:37Speaker 1: I mean, like you always hate to question anybody's political
- 32:41Speaker 1: beliefs or religious beliefs. This isn't a podcast to do that,
- 32:45Speaker 1: and this isn't the platform to do that. But I
- 32:47Speaker 1: think anytime you're in the spotlight, I think the lesson
- 32:50Speaker 1: learned here is when you do speak up in support
- 32:53Speaker 1: of either way either thing, you know, I mean things
- 32:56Speaker 1: as far as even gun control or the environment or
- 33:00Speaker 1: individuals like this, you have to walk. You have to
- 33:03Speaker 1: be careful, and you have to be ready for backlash.
- 33:05Speaker 1: I think is the big, big key thing. If you're
- 33:06Speaker 1: gonna talk up and share your opinion, you're gonna have
- 33:09Speaker 1: to be ready for backlash. Well that's what I'm confused.
- 33:11Speaker 1: Like he tweeted it, he had to have known that
- 33:14Speaker 1: he was going to abandon at least fift of his
- 33:17Speaker 1: audience with the comments, and then he deletes it as
- 33:22Speaker 1: if he didn't know he was going to have that
- 33:24Speaker 1: kind of backlash. Like I thought that you know, if
- 33:26Speaker 1: you put it out there, you know, it's not gonna die.
- 33:29Speaker 1: Once it's out there and you're a public figure, people
- 33:31Speaker 1: can find it. Definitely. I wonder what the repercussions are
- 33:35Speaker 1: from this. We talked about this at I Heartfest kind
- 33:37Speaker 1: of how some people in Bachelor Nation, and it seems
- 33:39Speaker 1: like more and more over the last couple of years
- 33:41Speaker 1: have been uh, you know, accused of some really terrible
- 33:46Speaker 1: things and not saying that, you know, Luke tweeting is
- 33:48Speaker 1: a terrible thing, but bachel Nation has had some some
- 33:52Speaker 1: you know, scars and some bruises here recently. I'm thinking
- 33:55Speaker 1: of the guy from this season, Becca season that was
- 33:59Speaker 1: that found out that he you know, had um I
- 34:04Speaker 1: was accused of abusing somebody. Lincoln, Yeah, there's it. And Leo,
- 34:09Speaker 1: you know Leo doing the crazy stuff. And what are
- 34:12Speaker 1: the repercussions for somebody that's franchise or just a celebrity
- 34:16Speaker 1: in general when they make a really bad decision, Well,
- 34:19Speaker 1: they lose followers, they lose fans, they lose support, you think.
- 34:24Speaker 1: I mean, so all this kind of circles around over
- 34:27Speaker 1: and over like it puts them more in the spotlight
- 34:29Speaker 1: than they would have been. Right, We would never be
- 34:32Speaker 1: talking about Leo or Lincoln unless they made a really
- 34:35Speaker 1: bad decision. Okay, So it kind of goes back to
- 34:37Speaker 1: like all press is good press, All press is good press.
- 34:40Speaker 1: If all your goal is is to gain fame and notoriety,
- 34:44Speaker 1: you have your name thrown around, right, But if you
- 34:47Speaker 1: want to be looked at in a certain light, you
- 34:49Speaker 1: probably don't think that all press is good press. I agree,
- 34:53Speaker 1: you just you know, we we need to be aware
- 34:57Speaker 1: that that even though people are known and their celebrity,
- 35:00Speaker 1: they're not always making the best decisions. They don't know
- 35:02Speaker 1: anything more than anybody else. Um. So this is a unique,
- 35:06Speaker 1: a very unique situation for Luke. Uh. You know what.
- 35:09Speaker 1: I don't think it is a huge you know, Bruce
- 35:13Speaker 1: or wound to his image, but I do think he
- 35:15Speaker 1: will be criticized. And if you're going to talk politics,
- 35:19Speaker 1: if you're gonna talk religion, you have to be open
- 35:22Speaker 1: to debate, and so Luke will be the center of debate,
- 35:25Speaker 1: um for a while. Now. Well, actually then I have
- 35:28Speaker 1: a question about this, um Luke, he already wasn't in
- 35:35Speaker 1: a very good light, especially with women. After the whole
- 35:40Speaker 1: thing with Stacy on Batchelor, Winner Games, so just interesting
- 35:43Speaker 1: that he would even vocalize and opinion on all this. Yeah,
- 35:48Speaker 1: or maybe he just doesn't Maybe he just doesn't mind.
- 35:50Speaker 1: I mean he deleted it, so he obviously minds a
- 35:52Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah, and then yeah, I agree. Yeah, and
- 35:56Speaker 1: then I have another question for you. Um, I was
- 35:58Speaker 1: always like raising a fan only who kind of thought
- 36:01Speaker 1: you talk politics and religion just with your kind of
- 36:04Speaker 1: close circle, your family and your friends, and it's not
- 36:07Speaker 1: something that you have to put out there because your opinion,
- 36:10Speaker 1: like my personal opinion on these matters shouldn't really I
- 36:14Speaker 1: I shouldn't be able to sway anybody else. I don't know.
- 36:17Speaker 1: It's just kind of how I was right is just
- 36:20Speaker 1: to like not really infringe my own opinion on other people.
- 36:23Speaker 1: How are you? Uh you know, I don't know if
- 36:26Speaker 1: I can fully agree with that. Let me tell you why,
- 36:29Speaker 1: Um one is I don't think so oftentimes, Um, the
- 36:35Speaker 1: loudest voice is heard the most every time, really, and
- 36:38Speaker 1: so you have a lot of people who in politics,
- 36:41Speaker 1: politics especially today, is the voice their opinion very loudly.
- 36:46Speaker 1: And so if you disagree with that, are you just
- 36:48Speaker 1: gonna allow that opinion to be the only one heard?
- 36:51Speaker 1: And are you going to feel then isolated alone when
- 36:55Speaker 1: nobody else is speaking up. And so I do think
- 36:57Speaker 1: in politics we need to start talking more, but we
- 37:00Speaker 1: have to come in with a respect and I understand
- 37:02Speaker 1: that not all of us are going to agree and
- 37:03Speaker 1: believe the same thing. And I think the more we talk,
- 37:06Speaker 1: the more we can kind of come to a middle ground, uh,
- 37:08Speaker 1: you know, with each other and a balance. So I
- 37:11Speaker 1: do think that's important. With religion, I have, you know,
- 37:14Speaker 1: And actually this is just a weird place for me
- 37:16Speaker 1: because if you don't know my faith, I don't make
- 37:20Speaker 1: a lot of sense to you. And I think that
- 37:21Speaker 1: is kind of the case with everybody, you know, if
- 37:24Speaker 1: you don't know what they believe, or when you ask them,
- 37:27Speaker 1: what is your view of the world, what is your
- 37:28Speaker 1: world view? What do you believe is truth? If you
- 37:31Speaker 1: don't allow them to answer that, and if you don't
- 37:34Speaker 1: really want to hear, they won't make a ton of
- 37:36Speaker 1: sense to you on why they make the decisions they do.
- 37:38Speaker 1: And so you don't have to talk religion. I don't.
- 37:41Speaker 1: I'm not trying to convert you every time I talk
- 37:44Speaker 1: to you to believe in Jesus. But I do think
- 37:46Speaker 1: it's important that you understand that that's where I'm coming from.
- 37:49Speaker 1: So that if you know, I do say no to something,
- 37:51Speaker 1: or if you know, maybe I do go out of
- 37:53Speaker 1: my way for something that just doesn't make a lot
- 37:55Speaker 1: of sense to anybody else, you go, well, it's coming
- 37:57Speaker 1: from uh, something that he believes is a bigger hauling
- 38:00Speaker 1: or a bigger purpose. Um, And the same thing would
- 38:03Speaker 1: be for you in your beliefs. So I do think
- 38:06Speaker 1: I want to live in a world actually where people
- 38:08Speaker 1: can openly discuss and talk um. And yes, we are
- 38:12Speaker 1: held accountable for some of our opinions, but we can
- 38:15Speaker 1: discuss them at least. That's kind of my my my dream.
- 38:18Speaker 1: Politics is obviously close to your heart, as you wanted
- 38:20Speaker 1: to run for office but you aren't allowed to because
- 38:23Speaker 1: of contractual things about a year ago, but you never
- 38:26Speaker 1: talked about it. So well, you know this this podcast
- 38:31Speaker 1: doesn't really seen one like one of the audience would
- 38:33Speaker 1: love to hear my opinion on you know, the public
- 38:36Speaker 1: schools or transportations. That's kind of like my that's my opinion. Yeah,
- 38:40Speaker 1: well I know too, And this is just kind of
- 38:43Speaker 1: a being in so I know actually that you're like
- 38:45Speaker 1: our friendship, uh is something that I hold very special
- 38:50Speaker 1: to me and deep, and I appreciate it. But I
- 38:52Speaker 1: also know that you and I are going to get
- 38:54Speaker 1: into a political conversation. I know that you and our
- 38:56Speaker 1: friendship doesn't go there. We can do it off camera,
- 38:59Speaker 1: we can do it off for radio, though, but we
- 39:01Speaker 1: but I also know that's probably not going to be
- 39:03Speaker 1: the case. Like you know, it's just in life. This
- 39:05Speaker 1: isn't the platform for it. Um. Speaking of platforms, Uh,
- 39:09Speaker 1: we have a headline here. This one's unique. I'm just
- 39:12Speaker 1: reading it. Chase McNairy opening up a restaurant Colorad. Don't
- 39:15Speaker 1: even know if he lived here anymore, so we didn't
- 39:18Speaker 1: move back why? Um, I don't know. Okay, Um, big
- 39:23Speaker 1: deal for him, congratulations, that's that's a huge, huge thing. Uh.
- 39:28Speaker 1: He's opening up Loado, which is lower downtown, right by
- 39:31Speaker 1: Corus Field. It's it sounds like more of like a bar,
- 39:35Speaker 1: kind of place to get a drink, not exactly known
- 39:37Speaker 1: for its food, but like a hangout spot. That's a
- 39:40Speaker 1: huge it's a huge investment, a big undertaking. And uh,
- 39:44Speaker 1: I mean good for him. I've I've wanted Jared to
- 39:47Speaker 1: open his own restaurant in Rhode Island for a while
- 39:50Speaker 1: now because he used to be a restaurant manager. He
- 39:52Speaker 1: loves being in that environment. I'm like Jared so, um,
- 39:55Speaker 1: hello to any restaurant investors out in the New England area,
- 40:00Speaker 1: it would love shadows on the water. Um. Actually you
- 40:03Speaker 1: might know this. What does Chase McNary do for a living.
- 40:07Speaker 1: I'm not one hundred percent sure he is an entrepreneur.
- 40:13Speaker 1: I mean, come on, I mean I really don't know.
- 40:16Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, we are. Yeah, good for him. That's exciting.
- 40:21Speaker 1: I hope it's busy. I'm opening up my restaurant too.
- 40:23Speaker 1: I know. I not a headline. I've never been a headline.
- 40:27Speaker 1: That's a humble and you're on this podcast anyways. Good
- 40:33Speaker 1: for Chase, Good for his team Denver. Denver is popping
- 40:37Speaker 1: and growing. Yeah so that's awesome. Okay, next headline. I
- 40:43Speaker 1: don't understand this one at all. Kim Solciac was in talks.
- 40:48Speaker 1: Who is that? Kim Sosiac was a housewife and then
- 40:50Speaker 1: she got her own show, Don't Be Tardy, and she's
- 40:53Speaker 1: married to an NFL player. She's just like an outrageous lady,
- 40:57Speaker 1: but she's pretty entertaining to watch. But apparently fourteen years
- 41:02Speaker 1: ago she was asked to be the bachelorette, and I'm
- 41:04Speaker 1: kind of confused, why what was she fourteen years ago?
- 41:06Speaker 1: Because this is the way before Housewives. I feel like
- 41:09Speaker 1: everybody comes out of the woodwork being like, did you
- 41:12Speaker 1: know that I was in the running to be the
- 41:14Speaker 1: next bachelor bachelor back in the mid two thousand's, And
- 41:16Speaker 1: it's like how many of those talks were had? Seriously,
- 41:21Speaker 1: like were their contracts in front of them? Jenne McCarthy
- 41:25Speaker 1: also said that she was in the running, but I
- 41:27Speaker 1: believe Jenny a little bit more. I just wonder, Yeah,
- 41:31Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure they talked a lot of people
- 41:33Speaker 1: and these I just read a headline. Actually, I when
- 41:35Speaker 1: I was googling or Chase mcnerny's name to kind of
- 41:38Speaker 1: figure out what he was doing, there's this headline that
- 41:40Speaker 1: he came out on US Weekly and I was like, yeah,
- 41:42Speaker 1: I was in talking to me the bachelor. Well yeah, no, no,
- 41:44Speaker 1: like of course you were like you were, you're on
- 41:46Speaker 1: the show. I mean, wells Adams wasn't talking to be
- 41:49Speaker 1: the bachelor. Joe wasn't talking about Like a lot of
- 41:51Speaker 1: people get in talks to become the bachelor bachelorette and
- 41:55Speaker 1: they even a lot of people sign contracts um that
- 41:58Speaker 1: that are not you know, they're pending, if they're chosen
- 42:02Speaker 1: or not, just to have them there, Ben, doesn't that happen?
- 42:05Speaker 1: Doesn't that happen that we're like, they usually have a
- 42:08Speaker 1: backup having signed the contract, and I think this season
- 42:11Speaker 1: they had like the three of them signed contracts. They
- 42:15Speaker 1: do most seasons. Honestly, who was yours? Who was your backup?
- 42:19Speaker 1: They did? It wasn't Jared for some reason. It wasn't
- 42:22Speaker 1: jaredy I think it was Nick File honestly, Okay, yeah, yeah,
- 42:25Speaker 1: it was Nick Vile or Ben Zorn was no. I
- 42:28Speaker 1: heard that's a rumor that Ben made up himself. Really yeah,
- 42:33Speaker 1: well you never know again, you never know, and and
- 42:36Speaker 1: so it was always kind of I remember when I
- 42:38Speaker 1: got on the show, finally, I was kind of insecure
- 42:40Speaker 1: about the fact that I thought they wanted somebody else
- 42:42Speaker 1: and that I was like that backup option, that backup plan,
- 42:45Speaker 1: and there they swore to me that I wasn't um.
- 42:48Speaker 1: But then I got off the show and I heard
- 42:50Speaker 1: that Ben Zorn had said, oh yeah, like I was
- 42:52Speaker 1: going to be the guy they wanted me, and I
- 42:55Speaker 1: just had to turn it down and so I was
- 42:57Speaker 1: definitely was the bachelor options. Ben, You're the only option
- 43:02Speaker 1: that season, and not only option as in like Jared
- 43:04Speaker 1: could have been a great bachelor, Ben, I mean Nick
- 43:06Speaker 1: was a great Bachelor, but like that season, they Jeff
- 43:09Speaker 1: definitely just wanted you. Their heart was set. Well, let
- 43:13Speaker 1: them have their moment. Okay, you know, you know, let
- 43:15Speaker 1: them have their moment. Okay. Oh, we have another headline here.

- 44:35Speaker 1: are you guys ready for maybe the craziest Bachelor franchise
- 44:40Speaker 1: story we've heard in a very very long time. It
- 44:44Speaker 1: happened on Bachelor Vietnam. Ben you want to read them
- 44:48Speaker 1: this headline I would love to. This is love is
- 44:52Speaker 1: love and love exists in the Bachelor world no matter
- 44:55Speaker 1: where you're at. On this clobe. Bachelor Vietnam and a
- 44:59Speaker 1: headline making row ceremony posted online this week, two women
- 45:03Speaker 1: from this year's Bachelor Vietnam tell each other to come
- 45:07Speaker 1: home with me. They leave the show for each other. Okay,
- 45:13Speaker 1: so then when the women left the one of the
- 45:15Speaker 1: women handed her rose back to the bachelor and said,
- 45:19Speaker 1: I know you'll find someone who really loves you. Before
- 45:22Speaker 1: the two women took off and departed the rose ceremony together. Unbelievable. Okay,
- 45:29Speaker 1: so let's break this down to women meet each other.
- 45:31Speaker 1: This isn't the first time this has happened. Has happened
- 45:34Speaker 1: in Bachelor Australia with Tiffany James remember that. Yes, yeah,
- 45:38Speaker 1: they found each other. I don't think they left the show.
- 45:40Speaker 1: They did it. They formed a relationship off camera. Yeah,
- 45:44Speaker 1: so this this is unheard of in the Bachelor Nation.
- 45:47Speaker 1: It's something that we've kind of thought could happen before.
- 45:50Speaker 1: This could happen on the franchise. So I guess the
- 45:53Speaker 1: interesting when is this going to happen in the US?
- 45:55Speaker 1: I don't know, but when Lance Bass. When we were
- 45:58Speaker 1: talking to Lance Bass couple of weeks go, he said
- 46:01Speaker 1: that the reason that they couldn't do was it Lance,
- 46:03Speaker 1: you said this, I think it was. I don't want
- 46:05Speaker 1: to credit him with something if it was. If he
- 46:07Speaker 1: didn't say it, So sorry Lance, if you didn't say this.
- 46:09Speaker 1: But he was like, they probably can't do a gay
- 46:11Speaker 1: Bachelor because a lot of the guys would be falling
- 46:14Speaker 1: in love with each other in the house and not
- 46:15Speaker 1: really given who the Bachelor is. Yeah, I mean that,
- 46:18Speaker 1: and that's typically when you talk to people. I mean
- 46:21Speaker 1: that that that could happen, right, there's nothing stopping that.
- 46:25Speaker 1: I think There's been a couple of uh, Bravo, I
- 46:27Speaker 1: think did a show and that ended up happening on Bravo. Well, yeah,
- 46:31Speaker 1: Lance hosted the gay version of The Bachelor on one
- 46:35Speaker 1: of the cable networks, and maybe that is what happened. Yeah,
- 46:38Speaker 1: and so it just I mean, it could happen. But
- 46:40Speaker 1: I'm thinking this is this is kind of unheard of
- 46:42Speaker 1: that two people going on the Bachelor, two women or
- 46:46Speaker 1: two men going on the Bachelor, I kind of leave
- 46:48Speaker 1: and fall in love with each other. It kind of
- 46:49Speaker 1: reminds me, honestly of who we talked to earlier, Angela
- 46:53Speaker 1: and Clay. People can find love in so many crazy ways,
- 46:56Speaker 1: and the Bachelor, if if my understanding is correctly, when
- 46:59Speaker 1: the show is created, it was just supposed to be
- 47:01Speaker 1: a platform for people to fall in love on. That
- 47:03Speaker 1: was what it is. And so people are doing it
- 47:05Speaker 1: in all sorts of ways. Love is love. But how
- 47:07Speaker 1: good of television was this? I mean absolutely shocking, so
- 47:11Speaker 1: good I need to go and find subtitles so I
- 47:14Speaker 1: can watch this. I know it's uh. Hey, congratulations to
- 47:20Speaker 1: the two women leaving Bachelor Vietnam together in love. Um
- 47:24Speaker 1: cool storyline. You're all over the US. You're making headlines

- 48:38Speaker 1: talked about this last week, but I think you said
- 48:40Speaker 1: that you tried to get you You had your assistant
- 48:42Speaker 1: get you two months off without traveling because you wanted
- 48:45Speaker 1: to have a more stable home life and you wanted
- 48:48Speaker 1: to start dating. Do we talk about that? Yeah, well
- 48:52Speaker 1: I don't think we've talked about it, but yeah, something
- 48:54Speaker 1: that is important to me. I Generous is going really
- 48:58Speaker 1: well Ashley, and there's some cool stuff happening we like.
- 49:01Speaker 1: I've you know, we've talked about a couple of times
- 49:03Speaker 1: of cool updates on Generous and that's that's always a
- 49:05Speaker 1: pleasure and and and something that I'm really excited to
- 49:07Speaker 1: talk about in here, but we don't need to do
- 49:09Speaker 1: it today. Um, but it's going great, and we're starting
- 49:12Speaker 1: to build foundations and structures that it allows me to
- 49:15Speaker 1: have a little more free time. It's not just on
- 49:17Speaker 1: my shoulders, and it's not just me, you know, plugging
- 49:20Speaker 1: in data and responding to emails. It's a good team
- 49:21Speaker 1: around us now. And so as a result, I personally
- 49:26Speaker 1: found that I needed to start investing in just myself
- 49:28Speaker 1: a little bit, getting too routine. UM, being Denver, you know,
- 49:32Speaker 1: you're it's not a good thing when your friends, when
- 49:35Speaker 1: you start hanging out with your friends again, when they
- 49:38Speaker 1: have all these stories and things that they're talking about,
- 49:39Speaker 1: and you realize that you haven't been a part of
- 49:41Speaker 1: any of them in the last year, and that you're
- 49:43Speaker 1: like you're still neighbors with them. UM. And so I
- 49:47Speaker 1: just my assistant actually came to me and said, been,
- 49:50Speaker 1: you're traveling all the time. UM, I see your schedule
- 49:53Speaker 1: more than anybody else. I think it's time for you
- 49:56Speaker 1: to take a little break. And so we haven't booked anything,
- 50:00Speaker 1: um any long trips now really towards it in the year.
- 50:03Speaker 1: So my family, my parents and I are going to
- 50:05Speaker 1: go on a vacation together, which we haven't done in years.
- 50:09Speaker 1: I'm gonna go on a vacation with my friends. Things
- 50:10Speaker 1: are good, ash and this podcast is definitely one of those. UM.
- 50:15Speaker 1: It kind of reminded me just to kind of close
- 50:17Speaker 1: out here and then I'm gonna start the off season
- 50:19Speaker 1: with something that just really infuriates me. UM. But it
- 50:24Speaker 1: reminded me in Las Vegas with Our good buddy Easton
- 50:27Speaker 1: was there, who's out the shows right here, and he's
- 50:30Speaker 1: such a sweetness. It's a sweet sweet man. Um. I
- 50:35Speaker 1: heard a really good place to do a podcast and
- 50:37Speaker 1: they support us well. There was literally cornhole boards with
- 50:41Speaker 1: our pictures on it. There was a door that had
- 50:42Speaker 1: our pictures on it. Podcasts are growing at my heart
- 50:46Speaker 1: and and we are are trying our best, um to
- 50:50Speaker 1: just keep this thing being as cool and fun and
- 50:52Speaker 1: interesting as possible. And it's offse so it's a hard
- 50:55Speaker 1: time to do it. But if you need an action item,

- 51:28Speaker 1: to stick things in places, and you do it if
- 51:31Speaker 1: you want to do it correctly or not. Because I'm
- 51:34Speaker 1: not good at it. I'm really bad. I never seem
- 51:37Speaker 1: to do that could be one of those things. That's
- 51:42Speaker 1: a good example. But that's easier than when I'm about
- 51:44Speaker 1: to talk about. I don't know if you've ever tried
- 51:47Speaker 1: in your computer or nowadays at the hotels, which never
- 51:51Speaker 1: seemed to work. These things always seem to be broken,
- 51:53Speaker 1: those USB ports and you have to board with the
- 51:56Speaker 1: USB port on it and you have a little plug
- 51:58Speaker 1: in that there's literally a option that you're gonna get
- 52:01Speaker 1: it right. But I don't know what it is about me.
- 52:04Speaker 1: I can never get it right. So I'm wondering the
- 52:07Speaker 1: first flip it, and then even when I flip it,
- 52:11Speaker 1: I seem to get it wrong exactly, and it infuriates
- 52:16Speaker 1: me because there's nothing worse than growing up in My
- 52:18Speaker 1: one skill as a three year old was putting the
- 52:21Speaker 1: blocks in the right shapes. You know, when you have
- 52:24Speaker 1: like a circle block and you gotta put the block
- 52:25Speaker 1: through the circle block in the star and you and
- 52:27Speaker 1: I was great at it. It was a fantastic stick.
- 52:31Speaker 1: This conversation could get so dirty, well, don't let it
- 52:36Speaker 1: go there act how is your first time? Then? Well
- 52:41Speaker 1: I got the star and the star block on my
- 52:43Speaker 1: first try on my first time. Okay. Anyways, the ben
- 52:48Speaker 1: bitches this week is we need to find a better
- 52:51Speaker 1: way to stick stuff in things, and USB ports are
- 52:55Speaker 1: way too hard to do it. I'm tired of feeling
- 52:58Speaker 1: like my one skill set a child, is not being
- 53:01Speaker 1: used correctly today. So with that, USB creators, please find
- 53:06Speaker 1: a better way. Hey everybody out there, this has been
- 53:09Speaker 1: the almost famous podcast. Uh. This is episode two of
- 53:12Speaker 1: the off season. We have a huge offseason in front
- 53:15Speaker 1: of us. We're gonna be talking a lot to Bachelor contestants,
- 53:19Speaker 1: former Bachelor contestants, Bachelor news coming up, and there's been
- 53:22Speaker 1: a plethora of it. We're gonna catch up on Ashley
- 53:24Speaker 1: Night's life. I think it's important for anybody out there
- 53:27Speaker 1: listening to know a little bit more about Ashley and
- 53:29Speaker 1: I and this offseason is the time to do it,
- 53:31Speaker 1: because when the bats on these podcasts last an hour
- 53:34Speaker 1: and a half, and all we talked about was probably
- 53:35Speaker 1: gonna be Colton and Becca and you know who they're
- 53:38Speaker 1: making out with next, so um, and one of those
- 53:40Speaker 1: things about the off seas that I love the most
- 53:42Speaker 1: is that we get to take listener emails. So actually,
- 53:45Speaker 1: I know we have an email that you want to
- 53:47Speaker 1: read that you're a big fan of. Please tell us
- 53:51Speaker 1: who it's from and what it's about. It's kind of
- 53:53Speaker 1: sad it's from Alex, she said. I recently had a
- 53:56Speaker 1: run in with someone from Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise,
- 53:59Speaker 1: and as a huge fan of the show, I was
- 54:01Speaker 1: really disappointed in the way that this person spoke to
- 54:03Speaker 1: me when I tried to interact with her. I understand
- 54:06Speaker 1: it's probably frustrating and get a lot of fan attention
- 54:08Speaker 1: all the time. However, it really turned me off, and
- 54:11Speaker 1: I was disappointed that I got practically brown up blown
- 54:14Speaker 1: off when I was trying to tell her how great
- 54:16Speaker 1: I thought she was. I did my best to wait
- 54:18Speaker 1: for a calm moment and I didn't interrupt a conversation
- 54:21Speaker 1: or anything. How do you want fans to approach you?
- 54:25Speaker 1: Do you like the attention? Do you find taking pictures
- 54:28Speaker 1: with fans fun or annoying? I find them very fun.
- 54:33Speaker 1: I think it's great. Um. I love it when I
- 54:38Speaker 1: love hearing what they say. A lot of the people
- 54:40Speaker 1: come to you with really personal antidotes and how they
- 54:44Speaker 1: related to me or anybody else in the show. And
- 54:46Speaker 1: it's just the nicest thing. Can I I may say
- 54:50Speaker 1: something now that I maybe that may be a risk,
- 54:54Speaker 1: but um, sometimes people come up to Jared and I
- 54:59Speaker 1: and they'll just look at me and they don't talk
- 55:01Speaker 1: to him, and it's really awkward. They don't make eye
- 55:04Speaker 1: contact with him. And I don't know whether it's an
- 55:07Speaker 1: approachability thing, like whether people look at me and like
- 55:10Speaker 1: I'm the girl and I'm easier to talk to, and
- 55:12Speaker 1: Jared just can come across as more intimidating because like
- 55:15Speaker 1: he's a really handsome guy and usually it's girls coming
- 55:18Speaker 1: back look at it. Yeah, but it's weird because sometimes
- 55:21Speaker 1: it'll be like they just focus on me and like
- 55:24Speaker 1: he would like some he would like some love. I
- 55:28Speaker 1: I you know, I think it's never And then I
- 55:31Speaker 1: agree with you. You You and Jared both are really, um,
- 55:34Speaker 1: I think good. And maybe it's because you're brand new
- 55:38Speaker 1: as a couple kind of the public and people really
- 55:40Speaker 1: let to come up to you and you're really good
- 55:41Speaker 1: at listening and being attentive to what they're saying. I
- 55:45Speaker 1: get where you know celebrities who have been around for
- 55:49Speaker 1: a long time, could be tired of people coming up
- 55:51Speaker 1: to him. I you know, when you're just trying to
- 55:53Speaker 1: go out to dinner, you're just trying to walk and
- 55:55Speaker 1: go shopping, or you're just trying to listen to music
- 55:57Speaker 1: at a concert. I can get where, you know, the
- 55:59Speaker 1: distractions could be tiring. The only things that really frustrate me, Ashley,
- 56:04Speaker 1: because the rest of the time I actually kind of
- 56:06Speaker 1: you know, it's it's fun to talk to new people.
- 56:08Speaker 1: I love when people come up and say, Hey, they're
- 56:10Speaker 1: a fan of the podcast, or they're a fan of whatever,
- 56:12Speaker 1: you know, generous, or they're a fan of the show,
- 56:14Speaker 1: or whatever they want to say. I I do enjoy that.
- 56:16Speaker 1: It's it's fun for me. There's a few times I've
- 56:18Speaker 1: noticed that I get irritated, and this is it um
- 56:22Speaker 1: when you're out at the dinner and people continually come
- 56:25Speaker 1: up to your table as you're eating. I just think
- 56:27Speaker 1: it's hard to get especially when you're with friends, and
- 56:30Speaker 1: and you know you're not out with friends very often.
- 56:32Speaker 1: You just want to spend their time. You want to
- 56:34Speaker 1: focus on that friendship, and people are continually interrupting it.
- 56:38Speaker 1: I think that's hard. The second one is concerts. When
- 56:41Speaker 1: you're trying to listen to music, you're kind of like, say,
- 56:43Speaker 1: it's a good acoustics set. I went to an Eric
- 56:45Speaker 1: church a few years ago, is acoustic set with a
- 56:48Speaker 1: bunch of people, and I had a whole line of
- 56:50Speaker 1: people want to take pictures. So for an hour I missed.
- 56:53Speaker 1: I missed the show, and that was frustrating because as
- 56:56Speaker 1: much as I would love to just be talking to everybody,
- 56:59Speaker 1: I also and there to enjoy music that I don't.
- 57:02Speaker 1: There's no other way for me to enjoy other than
- 57:03Speaker 1: to go to that concert. So I do get where
- 57:06Speaker 1: people could be standoffish, but for me, it's always exciting.
- 57:11Speaker 1: I enjoy it and the most appropriate situations. I love
- 57:14Speaker 1: it when people come up to me. It makes me feel, uh,
- 57:18Speaker 1: it makes me feel honestly makes me feel I have
- 57:21Speaker 1: friends all over you. That's so true. I have so
- 57:24Speaker 1: much fun with it. I love it, and I like
- 57:27Speaker 1: I like to make it more of a moment, Like
- 57:29Speaker 1: when people come up and they're like, can you get
- 57:31Speaker 1: a picture? I'm like, yeah, of course you get a picture.
- 57:33Speaker 1: But I like to actually have a conversation and make
- 57:34Speaker 1: it a moment um. And another thing that is always
- 57:38Speaker 1: really hard and very rude is when people will come
- 57:41Speaker 1: up to Jared and I and they'll be like, Ashley,
- 57:44Speaker 1: I love you, You're so great. I've been roading for
- 57:46Speaker 1: the entire time. Jared, I really hated you for a while.
- 57:50Speaker 1: And they'll be like you were such a dick or
- 57:51Speaker 1: you were so dumb, and Jared's like, I can say
- 57:54Speaker 1: I'm dumb as until the cows come home. He says
- 57:57Speaker 1: he's dumb all the time for how long it's for him.
- 58:01Speaker 1: But I don't know if it's their place. It's really
- 58:04Speaker 1: not their place to like look at him straight in
- 58:06Speaker 1: the face and be like you are a dumbass, you
- 58:08Speaker 1: know well, and people people don't really even know what
- 58:11Speaker 1: they're saying. I I don't think people get it that
- 58:15Speaker 1: they're they're they're saying these comments and they're giving their
- 58:17Speaker 1: opinions and criticism not knowing exactly how much act it
- 58:21Speaker 1: really affects people. Yeah, I know when people come up
- 58:24Speaker 1: to me and they say things, uh as much as
- 58:27Speaker 1: even like I can laugh at off from over it,
- 58:29Speaker 1: or you know, for whatever, let's just use Jared example.
- 58:31Speaker 1: I'm sure it's still affects him, and it still hurts
- 58:34Speaker 1: him a little bit, so just you know, I think
- 58:37Speaker 1: be courteous. Yesterday on Instagram, I posted a picture about
- 58:40Speaker 1: Generous Coffee and it's it was National Coffee Day two
- 58:43Speaker 1: days going. Somebody commented back, Oh, I'm sick and tired
- 58:46Speaker 1: of seeing these Bachelor people do endorsements and ads, which
- 58:49Speaker 1: you know what, Like, you gotta get over that because
- 58:51Speaker 1: that's not gonna stop. It's literally a lot of these
- 58:53Speaker 1: people's sources of income. And for me, it's the reason
- 58:55Speaker 1: I can work for Generous is because I'm able to
- 58:58Speaker 1: do the podcast and also um endorse these products that
- 59:01Speaker 1: I believe in. And so but what does is it
- 59:04Speaker 1: hurts because Generous is my volunteer job. I don't get
- 59:07Speaker 1: paid for it. And so when she makes this comment
- 59:09Speaker 1: on my Instagram, I had to respond by saying, just
- 59:12Speaker 1: be careful of what you're criticizing, because there's a whole
- 59:14Speaker 1: team of people putting their heart and soul into this project.
- 59:17Speaker 1: Nobody's getting paid for it. We just leave in the
- 59:21Speaker 1: mission and the vision of what we're trying to do.
- 59:24Speaker 1: And so I think it's the same thing when it
- 59:25Speaker 1: comes to you and Jared. Just be careful criticizing anybody,
- 59:29Speaker 1: especially in front of their spouse, because pretty soon the
- 59:31Speaker 1: wrong person is going to do it, and and mother
- 59:33Speaker 1: bear Ashley is gonna bite perfective of little Jared. Did
- 59:38Speaker 1: that ever happen with you and Lauren? Did anybody protective? Yeah?
- 59:42Speaker 1: Did anyone ever? Did anyone ever come to you and
- 59:44Speaker 1: Lauren and be and just like look at her or
- 59:47Speaker 1: just talk to her or say like just some things.
- 59:50Speaker 1: The only thing that I always blow it off. I'm like, oh, Jared,
- 59:53Speaker 1: don't worry about it. Just like she was nervous, and
- 59:55Speaker 1: then that came out of her mouth, Like how many
- 59:57Speaker 1: times have I met like celebrities that I loved and worshiped,
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: and like I had so many stupid things come out
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: of my mouth and I was like, oh my god,
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: it's just word vomit. Yeah, I mean it did happen.
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: I think it happened both ways for Laura and I.
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: Someone come to me and be like, oh, I can't
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: believe you would tell to him and you love them.
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: And then then people come up to her and they
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: would say things you know that we're inappropriate, and yeah,
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: it happened, and it just gets awkward. Honestly, I mean,
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: it's hard to shake it. It's hard to shake it off.
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: So put out there listening. We love you. You've been
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: great to us. We have a ton of people come
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: up to us over and over again. Stand they listen
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: to the podcast. Uh, and it does mean a ton
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: of Ashley and I that you do that. Please come up,
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: So just please do please come up to us. Yeah,
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: I mean, this is why we're doing it. And also
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: when you come up to us, stop telling me that that
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: you really love Ashley and then I'm just along for
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: the ride that hurts me. Um, just back off a
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: little bit. I'm here for here for a good time too. Hey, Ashley.

- 1:02:12Speaker 1: hard time doing, Ashley, I can't find a date. And
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: I'm serious. This is just in the podcast here. This
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: is a kind of a funny little segment. Um. I
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: get an email from the American Music Awards saying, hey,
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: we'd like you to come. I said that sounds great.
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: I don't know why me, but that sounds awesome. And
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: they said, okay, you and a date will be picked
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: up at your hotel you know X amount of time.
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, I have a date, like
- 1:02:32Speaker 1: a plus one. They're like, yeah, I haven't found a
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: plus one yet. And the American Music Awards are eight
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: days away, so um, this will be interesting. I could
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: be going to American I don't know. I'm I'm working
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: on something, you know what, I think would be really fun.
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: And just for no other reason, I have this friend
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: in Denver Um. She was a part of the Make
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: a Wish Foundation and her dream was to be famous.
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: We did this whole thing, make Gappy famous to go
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: and I think it would be fun to find somebody
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: like her in Los Angeles that just wants to be
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: a part of an award show and just bring them
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: with me, because who's gonna enjoy it more than somebody
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: really wants to be there And it will be my
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: first award show, it will probably be There's so I'm
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: working on that. I guess if anybody's out there listening
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: and know of anybody that's that really would like to
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: go to American Music Awards. It has a really good
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: story to tell somebody that it's their dream, somebody that
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: probably won't get this opportunity again. Please email us at
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: been in Nashley, iHeart media dot com. That's a great option.
