Speaker 1: mean here in the last month we've had Andy Dorfman,
0:16
Speaker 1: we just had Jason Tardik. If you're a fan of

0:34
Speaker 1: Ashley comes onto the podcast today and you've heard me
0:38
Speaker 1: tell it before, I'll never back down from this statement.
0:41
Speaker 1: Ashley con Eddie is a absolutely beautiful human physically and
0:46
Speaker 1: soulfully inside and now. But she shows up to the
0:49
Speaker 1: podcast today and I'm learning more and more as I
0:53
Speaker 1: go about women. I haven't known. I didn't know how
0:56
Speaker 1: much I didn't know about women until really this podcast,
1:00
Speaker 1: being engaged to Jessica and and just being more curious
1:04
Speaker 1: about the ins and outs of a woman's life. As
1:08
Speaker 1: shows up to the podcast, and her face is like
1:11
Speaker 1: red and it has like skin falling off of it.
1:14
Speaker 1: I've never seen this before, Ashley, for myself and our listeners,
1:20
Speaker 1: can you educate me on what is going on? Okay, well,
1:23
Speaker 1: I'll use this time to shout out Olga Lawrence and
1:26
Speaker 1: she's like my skincare go to. She has really been
1:31
Speaker 1: the woman in charge of halle Berry's skin for like
1:34
Speaker 1: the past twenty years. So like if yeah, if there's
1:36
Speaker 1: somebody listen to, it's oga. So I have done two
1:41
Speaker 1: vampire facials to get rid of my melasma over the
1:45
Speaker 1: past a couple of months, and they just really they
1:48
Speaker 1: weren't as effective as I would like them to have been.
1:50
Speaker 1: So it's a vampire facial. I'm going to interrupt you
1:53
Speaker 1: because you've got to help me out here. I don't
1:55
Speaker 1: know if you ever saw those pictures of Kim Kardashian
1:57
Speaker 1: where she had like blood on her face. So basically,
2:00
Speaker 1: it's a little needle and it's it kind of it's
2:03
Speaker 1: like a think of electronic pen with needles on it,
2:08
Speaker 1: and they like inject your blood into that needle thing
2:14
Speaker 1: that pen, and then they like stab your face all
2:16
Speaker 1: over and it's like collagen producing and it makes you
2:21
Speaker 1: like flake off. That first layer of skin because that
2:25
Speaker 1: wasn't as effective with my really bad melasma. It's just
2:28
Speaker 1: like I never had it until like a year and
2:30
Speaker 1: a half ago, and then all of a sudden, I
2:32
Speaker 1: was like, why do I have a mustache that's just
2:34
Speaker 1: not of hair, It's just not a hair. And then
2:37
Speaker 1: it gets worse than the sun. It's people who are
2:39
Speaker 1: like all of toned. They are more susceptible to it. Um, yeah,
2:46
Speaker 1: exactly exactly. And I so I'm doing now the gold standards,
2:51
Speaker 1: So the vampire face will takes like three days to
2:54
Speaker 1: recover from this. What I have on my face now,
2:58
Speaker 1: the cosmolon peel is definitely something we have to hide
3:02
Speaker 1: a little bit more. You actually have to keep a
3:04
Speaker 1: face mask on for ten hours. So on Saturday I
3:08
Speaker 1: didn't do anything and I kept like, yeah, it's easy now. Um,
3:11
Speaker 1: but this whole thing is great because it's easy now.
3:14
Speaker 1: So now I'm read and pealey at least for the
3:16
Speaker 1: next four days, and I'll probably not be back to
3:20
Speaker 1: my regular skin for like another month or so. But
3:24
Speaker 1: when I'm done before and afters if they are accurate
3:28
Speaker 1: and they're all over the internet, I might not have
3:30
Speaker 1: malasma at all. Anymore. And if you guys don't know
3:33
Speaker 1: what malasmas, it's it's pigmentation. It's darker pigmentation spots around
3:37
Speaker 1: your face. And with women, especially when it's formon related,
3:40
Speaker 1: it often goes in that mustache area. Yeah. So, um,
3:43
Speaker 1: I texted your fiance about it. I told her what
3:48
Speaker 1: a perfect time it is for you know, to do this,
3:51
Speaker 1: because of the mask and being able to stay home
3:53
Speaker 1: and all that he goes. Um, I said, I can
3:57
Speaker 1: tell you who my asgetation is. And she just said
4:00
Speaker 1: it to you, and she faced time to the instructions
4:02
Speaker 1: she goes. That would be amazing. I love that it's
4:05
Speaker 1: at home even better. So your fiance is gonna look
4:08
Speaker 1: like this before you know it. But then she's gonna
4:11
Speaker 1: feel so confident about not having to wear foundation all
4:13
Speaker 1: the time to cover up those brown spots. Well, here's
4:16
Speaker 1: the thing. What happens when you fall in love. I'm
4:19
Speaker 1: learning this right. I find Jessica Clark to be like
4:23
Speaker 1: the most beautiful human ever created. I do, but I
4:27
Speaker 1: am now also realizing how much I just love her
4:32
Speaker 1: in general, and so like, I know that sounds really corny,
4:34
Speaker 1: and but like she could have like what I know
4:37
Speaker 1: my reaction to her would be very similar to just
4:40
Speaker 1: being like, wow, Hunt, this is really interesting, Like I
4:43
Speaker 1: don't hate it. I get why, but like now I'm
4:47
Speaker 1: just more intrigued. Like it's not even there's like nothing
4:49
Speaker 1: she could do really that be like a turn off.
4:51
Speaker 1: I feel like like a complete turn off. It would
4:54
Speaker 1: just be more of like a curiosity of like, so
4:56
Speaker 1: you did this so your face can just like flake off.
5:00
Speaker 1: I don't get it. I respect it. And to close
5:05
Speaker 1: this thought, you made a comment that I'm super intrigued
5:07
Speaker 1: by because Melasma was an insecurity of Jessica's for a
5:10
Speaker 1: long time, and even when she's first started dating me,
5:13
Speaker 1: she was like, Yeah, I have this like dark thing
5:15
Speaker 1: above my lip and it's weird and I know it's
5:18
Speaker 1: like but it's like nothing I can do about it,
5:20
Speaker 1: you know, like she would try to explain it to me.
5:23
Speaker 1: I get it. It's not ideal. But you're saying that
5:26
Speaker 1: like Melasma could be gone for like a period of
5:29
Speaker 1: time forever. Well, I mean this will significantly subside it,
5:36
Speaker 1: um and then you're gonna have to use other products
5:38
Speaker 1: that will keep it at bay. Wow. Wow to just
5:45
Speaker 1: absolutely incredible experience, but just a wildly, wildly. There's just
5:50
Speaker 1: so many things that you do that I respect, love,
5:54
Speaker 1: and also yeah, it's wild. You guys are so lucky.
5:58
Speaker 1: Like I just Jared and I laughed all the time
6:00
Speaker 1: about what we have to go through biologically that you
6:05
Speaker 1: guys won't ever Yeah, I mean I have hair all
6:08
Speaker 1: over my body. It will never leave. Yeah, it will
6:11
Speaker 1: never It will never be ripped off my body. Well, hey,
6:14
Speaker 1: with that, we have a great podcast coming up. Um,

6:20
Speaker 1: and what's going on in my life. And then following
6:23
Speaker 1: we're going to go and interview one of our favorites

Speaker 1: you get podcasts these days. Al Right, Ben, so what's
7:55
Speaker 1: the big news that you need to tell us? Well, actually,
7:58
Speaker 1: this is it's weird, um because on it this this
8:03
Speaker 1: news is. I can't understate how big of a deal
8:06
Speaker 1: this is to me, um And I want to give
8:09
Speaker 1: a little backstory for the almost famous podcast because this
8:11
Speaker 1: is the first time I'll be really talking about it. Um.
8:15
Speaker 1: But two years ago, I and and we've talked about
8:19
Speaker 1: a lot in the podcast, like I just I don't
8:21
Speaker 1: know if I struggle, I just uh have always I
8:25
Speaker 1: fall quickly if I'm in a bad place, I fall
8:27
Speaker 1: quickly into self doubt. I fall quickly into feeling isolated
8:30
Speaker 1: and disconnected. Um And then you know, I have this
8:34
Speaker 1: show happened a few years ago where I admit that
8:36
Speaker 1: I feel inlovable and that felt like like I've like
8:40
Speaker 1: my buddies still joked with me about that, and uh
8:44
Speaker 1: and I've kind of joked about it too, because it
8:46
Speaker 1: was a huge moment for me on The Bachelor Ette.
8:48
Speaker 1: But it didn't feel like it. It felt like just
8:51
Speaker 1: like a passing by conversation that Kaitlin I had that
8:54
Speaker 1: you know, you see on the show a lot and
8:55
Speaker 1: you don't know the depth of it. But when I
8:57
Speaker 1: said that, it was the first time in my life
8:59
Speaker 1: on the show, I had actually admitted something that was
9:01
Speaker 1: true to myself that was like vulnerable and hard to
9:03
Speaker 1: admit that, like I truly didn't feel like I was
9:06
Speaker 1: worthy of love or I didn't feel like I would
9:09
Speaker 1: find somebody that would say, Hey, you're the person for
9:12
Speaker 1: me for the rest of my life. And and then
9:16
Speaker 1: I realized that that even went deeper, Like it rolled
9:19
Speaker 1: into my friendships, like why would my friends like my
9:21
Speaker 1: Why would my friends be really friends with me? Like
9:23
Speaker 1: what do I offer them? What? Why would they want
9:25
Speaker 1: to spend their time and share their life with me?
9:27
Speaker 1: It rolled into my relationship with God and my relationship
9:30
Speaker 1: um with myself. So anyways, two years ago I started
9:33
Speaker 1: on a project to write a book about all of
9:35
Speaker 1: this um. And it's been two years of like really
9:41
Speaker 1: weird um conversations with myself, really hard conversation with myself. Uh.
9:48
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of the times as I come
9:50
Speaker 1: onto the podcast and I share, Hey, I'm just struggling
9:52
Speaker 1: with envy or I'm struggling with doubt, it's because I
9:55
Speaker 1: was in the midst of writing this thing, and I
9:56
Speaker 1: was pulling back these old stories and these old memories
9:59
Speaker 1: and the memories that are still hitting me today, reliving
10:02
Speaker 1: them and trying to put them into a book. Yeah,
10:05
Speaker 1: and today, yesterday the book cover was announced, which means
10:09
Speaker 1: the book is done, it is turned in, it is edited,
10:12
Speaker 1: is completed, the cover is released, and I am now
10:16
Speaker 1: on the road to releasing this thing that has been
10:19
Speaker 1: It has really taken up the most time of anything
10:21
Speaker 1: I've ever done in my life. I totally understand what
10:24
Speaker 1: you mean when you get so introspective with yourself that
10:28
Speaker 1: like it's almost when somebody comes up to you during
10:32
Speaker 1: that that point where you're like, I'm just so into myself.
10:36
Speaker 1: I'm just like so in my head right now, Like
10:37
Speaker 1: I can't even social Like I can't socialize. Do you
10:41
Speaker 1: do that? Like when I think that's what you're talking about.
10:43
Speaker 1: Right when you're like working on writing, Like when I'm
10:45
Speaker 1: in the writing zone for some reason, I get really
10:47
Speaker 1: sucked in and it's hard for me to come out,
10:50
Speaker 1: Like I need to like actually like gradually push myself
10:53
Speaker 1: out within a couple of hours, Like I can't just
10:55
Speaker 1: go from writing to being social. Now You're you're spot on, especially,
11:01
Speaker 1: you know, like the book has broken up in the
11:03
Speaker 1: four sections connection with self, connection with others, connection romantically
11:07
Speaker 1: romantically in a connection with God. And like within this
11:11
Speaker 1: I shared things that my parents didn't know about me,
11:13
Speaker 1: like my problems with addiction, um my problems with doubting
11:18
Speaker 1: my faith, doubting a god above my problems, you know,
11:21
Speaker 1: obviously with feeling unlovable, like truly feeling unlovable, and then
11:25
Speaker 1: you know, going back to like I always like kind
11:28
Speaker 1: of picture when I'm in my unhealthiest place. And I
11:30
Speaker 1: don't live in this unhealthy place all the time, but
11:32
Speaker 1: when I'm in my unhealthy place, I do. I feel
11:35
Speaker 1: like the kid looking in at the party of all
11:37
Speaker 1: my friends that I wasn't invited to. And I feel
11:40
Speaker 1: like I walk through life sometimes, especially when I was
11:42
Speaker 1: writing this, feeling that way, like I'm pulling back these memories.
11:46
Speaker 1: I'm speaking this into myself and as a result, I'm
11:48
Speaker 1: living it out in my daily life, and it put
11:51
Speaker 1: me in some weird places the last two years. But
11:53
Speaker 1: my hope with all of it, so my hope the
11:56
Speaker 1: whole time and and what like my my friends and
11:58
Speaker 1: my family and us to continue to reinforce in me,
12:01
Speaker 1: is like I'm doing this so that maybe somebody out
12:04
Speaker 1: there will feel less alone when they read it, Like
12:07
Speaker 1: absolutely like I'm living this and like going through all
12:10
Speaker 1: these weird emotions because maybe somebody will read it and
12:12
Speaker 1: go wow. I've always thought like I was the only
12:15
Speaker 1: one that felt left out. I was. I always thought
12:18
Speaker 1: like I was the weird one. I always thought that
12:19
Speaker 1: nobody really liked me, or that there was no big
12:21
Speaker 1: purpose to my life. And maybe there's just one I
12:25
Speaker 1: believe that there's just one person listening to this, or
12:28
Speaker 1: one person that will read the book, um, and they'll
12:32
Speaker 1: maybe they'll feel less alone, and they'll take that end
12:35
Speaker 1: of the day life than it was all worth it.
12:37
Speaker 1: And that's what's going to happen. So you guys, I
12:39
Speaker 1: got an advanced copy of the book and it's so
12:42
Speaker 1: fantastic Ben's writing. You can hear his voice in it.
12:45
Speaker 1: It's amazing. Um. He he's going to do just what
12:50
Speaker 1: he was just saying that he hopes for. There's gonna
12:52
Speaker 1: be so many people that read it and feel less alone,
12:55
Speaker 1: which is the title of the book is alone in
12:58
Speaker 1: plain sight, Plain it. So the cover is beautiful. I'm
13:03
Speaker 1: so happy for you. I love that you have turned
13:07
Speaker 1: something that you felt was just you and really found
13:11
Speaker 1: an audience that needs to hear the message. I appreciate you, actually,
13:15
Speaker 1: thank you. No, it's it's really exciting. I really appreciate you.
13:19
Speaker 1: Reading it, and um, yeah, you know it's not a
13:21
Speaker 1: tell all book. I know for some that's gonna be
13:24
Speaker 1: a kind of throwing off of what is expected or
13:28
Speaker 1: but I guess for me, I don't have a lot
13:30
Speaker 1: to tell. Like we we talked about the show all
13:33
Speaker 1: the time on this podcast, and there's just not a
13:35
Speaker 1: lot hidden anymore in my journey of the Bachelor world.
13:38
Speaker 1: And if there is, then I hope to be able
13:40
Speaker 1: to think of those things and say on this podcast
13:42
Speaker 1: and share those experiences. Um And So when I write this,
13:46
Speaker 1: it was you know, it does go into like my
13:48
Speaker 1: relationships from the show, like, um, there is a section
13:51
Speaker 1: on Lauren and there and and Laura and I were
13:53
Speaker 1: able to talk about that and I got her approval
13:55
Speaker 1: on that, um and because you know, she's been a
13:58
Speaker 1: huge part of my life and in a great part
14:00
Speaker 1: in many in many ways. But there there isn't the
14:03
Speaker 1: juicy details of the show, but there is hopefully honesty
14:06
Speaker 1: about the show and honestly about the experience that maybe
14:08
Speaker 1: isn't known or maybe would be relatable. So, UM, I
14:12
Speaker 1: appreciate you reading. I just wanted to share that with
14:14
Speaker 1: almost famous listeners because this is the first time I've
14:16
Speaker 1: been talking about it publicly. I've kept this to my
14:18
Speaker 1: chest for a long time. Now I'm ready to start
14:21
Speaker 1: sharing it. Uh. You can start pre ordering right now.
14:24
Speaker 1: Um uh, you know great Christmas gifts, great Christmas gift
14:28
Speaker 1: and uh and I'll be talking about it more and more,
14:31
Speaker 1: but hopefully won't bug everybody on this podcast and talk
14:33
Speaker 1: about it too much, but it probably will come up
14:35
Speaker 1: so alone in plain site has been announced. It is
14:38
Speaker 1: my book. Uh. I can't even believe I'm saying that,
14:40
Speaker 1: but I am. And uh, well that's all we gotta
14:43
Speaker 1: talk about with that here. Um, any any questions feel
14:45
Speaker 1: free to reach out and I would love to answer them.
14:48
Speaker 1: And so don't go to Ben's book for juicy Bachelor details,
14:52
Speaker 1: but you should come here to the almost famous podcast
14:55
Speaker 1: for juicy Bachelor details. And we are going to give
14:58
Speaker 1: you some right now. Let's go through our list of
15:00
Speaker 1: hot topics. Then, oh my gosh, Ashley and there are
15:03
Speaker 1: still a hot topics reigning supreme in Bachelor Nation. Yes,
15:08
Speaker 1: uh we uh, We're gonna start here with probably the
15:11
Speaker 1: one that everybody's wondering about. Um, We're not gonna make
15:14
Speaker 1: you wait to the end of the episode for this one.
15:16
Speaker 1: We're gonna start right now with the Cassie Randolph in
15:19
Speaker 1: Colton Underwood situation. Again, this is a sensitive topic. We
15:24
Speaker 1: We have had massive amounts of updates and news come in.
15:29
Speaker 1: Cassie's UM restraining order was granted, uh a little bit
15:34
Speaker 1: less than a week ago. UM, and now the text
15:37
Speaker 1: messages have been released. So Ashley, what do we know
15:41
Speaker 1: about this and where do we stand? Okay, Well, last
15:45
Speaker 1: week we went over the fact that he apparently put
15:47
Speaker 1: a tracker on her car, that he was in the
15:50
Speaker 1: alley outside her bedroom at her parents around two am. UM,
15:56
Speaker 1: that he was also kind of lurking about her apartment
16:03
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, and um, then there are also some
16:08
Speaker 1: texts that were released that apparently he was sending her
16:13
Speaker 1: text at all hours of the day. UM. At one
16:15
Speaker 1: point he said quote Cassie, referring to Cassie is a
16:21
Speaker 1: selfish person who isn't ready to be loved and called
16:24
Speaker 1: her shady. He later apologized saying that he was lost. UM.
16:29
Speaker 1: And since you know, sources have said sources with the
16:33
Speaker 1: quote around them, and in my opinion, uh, that's that
16:39
Speaker 1: Cassie was doing this, is doing this for attention, that
16:44
Speaker 1: they were in the midst of filming a reality show
16:46
Speaker 1: about their breakup. Um it involved Colton, Cassie, and her
16:51
Speaker 1: entire family. So Michelle Randolph got to posting on Instagram
16:57
Speaker 1: this week saying that her parents never signed anything whatever
17:02
Speaker 1: part of any type of show. Um, this is Colton's
17:05
Speaker 1: attempt to make Cassie look bad at the press. She
17:10
Speaker 1: also says that she and her boyfriend have not filmed
17:15
Speaker 1: or signed any contracts about this supposed show. Um, seems
17:20
Speaker 1: like it was probably like a sizzle reel maybe, um
17:22
Speaker 1: it says Orel you guys, is like a proof of concept.
17:25
Speaker 1: It's like a mini episode basically of a proposed show idea.
17:30
Speaker 1: And I've heard I'm not sure where I heard it from,
17:33
Speaker 1: but that it was going to be about them dealing
17:37
Speaker 1: with their breakup or like continuing to be friends after
17:40
Speaker 1: their breakup, and all these sources are and muld also
17:44
Speaker 1: be like honest, like just what's what I'm thinking? Like,
17:46
Speaker 1: I just really trust Cassie. UM, I think that she
17:48
Speaker 1: is the kind of person that would never seek attention
17:52
Speaker 1: like this. I really don't think that she cares like
17:54
Speaker 1: she wants to be a speech prothologist. She probably likes
17:58
Speaker 1: the you know, additional income that her bachelor fame brings her.
18:03
Speaker 1: But she is not the kind of person that is
18:05
Speaker 1: ever going to go and do something for attention, especially
18:10
Speaker 1: getting a restraining order for no reparent reason on her
18:14
Speaker 1: ex boyfriend. Well, and we talked about it before, and
18:17
Speaker 1: I know the listeners out there, you know, Colton had
18:19
Speaker 1: a great following, a big following, and uh, listeners out
18:22
Speaker 1: there probably right now are hearing this and going, wait,
18:24
Speaker 1: why aren't you being more supportive of Colton? And I
18:27
Speaker 1: want to I want to preface all this and say
18:30
Speaker 1: that we aren't not supportive of Colton. There actually has
18:33
Speaker 1: spoken out many times against cancel culture. We're not saying
18:35
Speaker 1: canceled Colton. We're not saying not cancel at all. We're
18:39
Speaker 1: not saying, hey, forget about Colton. But what we need
18:42
Speaker 1: to report is that the restraining order was granted. And
18:45
Speaker 1: that's that's a legal process that goes far beyond a
18:49
Speaker 1: show or fame or anything like. If if a restraining
18:52
Speaker 1: order is granted, I think we all need to take
18:54
Speaker 1: a step back and realize, hey, there were there was
18:57
Speaker 1: a proven amount of facts there that made a judge,
19:02
Speaker 1: an impartial judge, say this needed to be put in place,
19:06
Speaker 1: like this was a good decision for Cassie to do.
19:08
Speaker 1: Now at the end of all this, I know Ashley
19:12
Speaker 1: I talked offline about it, like, we want both parties
19:15
Speaker 1: to heal, to recover, to come back from this in
19:20
Speaker 1: some way, right. We don't want either of them to
19:23
Speaker 1: just disappear and to be hated on. That's not the point.
19:25
Speaker 1: That this is far bigger than the attention they could
19:29
Speaker 1: get from a show or from a from fame. And
19:32
Speaker 1: I know the Colton supporters out there are gonna go
19:34
Speaker 1: holy cow, like you guys like you, you know you
19:36
Speaker 1: don't know the fact, Like, no, we don't know all
19:38
Speaker 1: the facts, but a judge does. And what we need
19:42
Speaker 1: to say here is, hey, what Cassie did, the judge said,
19:47
Speaker 1: okay to what Colton did was obviously out of place
19:51
Speaker 1: and was wrong. It doesn't mean that he needs to
19:54
Speaker 1: be forgotten or pushed aside. It doesn't mean that people
19:57
Speaker 1: need to hate him. What it does mean, though, and
19:59
Speaker 1: I for all of us, and I will go on
20:01
Speaker 1: my soapbox here and I know somebody out there is
20:03
Speaker 1: gonna been stopped talking. I'm gonna say this. What it
20:06
Speaker 1: does mean, though, is that in this time we need
20:09
Speaker 1: to be sensitive to Cassie. We also need to be
20:11
Speaker 1: sensitive to the Colton. But we need to understand that
20:13
Speaker 1: there was wrongs here that happened, and we need to
20:17
Speaker 1: accept that. We need to accept that there was wrongs
20:20
Speaker 1: done in this process. And this is not a joking thing.
20:23
Speaker 1: This is a big deal. This is this is not
20:25
Speaker 1: a small matter. This is this is something that has
20:29
Speaker 1: obviously changed their lives, both of their lives, UM. And
20:34
Speaker 1: we hope that Colton can come out of this humbled, UM, educated,
20:40
Speaker 1: a better person. We also hope casting come out of
20:42
Speaker 1: this feeling safe, UM, feeling protected, feeling cared for and
20:47
Speaker 1: loved on. UM. But with all this being said, listeners
20:51
Speaker 1: and Colton fans, you have to realize where we're at now,
20:57
Speaker 1: which was not where out a week ago. We're at
21:00
Speaker 1: a place where this is going to court, and and
21:04
Speaker 1: that means it's like facts now, not alleged rumors, yes,
21:08
Speaker 1: or allegend alleged allegations. Do not pret don't cancel him,
21:15
Speaker 1: don't cancel him, don't hate on him. In times of
21:19
Speaker 1: great despair and of great need, we need healing and
21:21
Speaker 1: we need love, and both of these people need that
21:24
Speaker 1: right now, So don't cancel Colton, but recognize that that
21:27
Speaker 1: there was a problem. Yeah, and Ben, how would you
21:32
Speaker 1: feel if Colton just came out, was super honest and said, like, look,
21:35
Speaker 1: I was hurting. Um, I was in a very sad,
21:38
Speaker 1: depressed place, wanting my girlfriend back, missing my ex girlfriend
21:41
Speaker 1: and somebody who was my first serious relationship. Um, and
21:45
Speaker 1: I went a little overboard, like I crossed the line. Um.
21:48
Speaker 1: And I hope people accept my apology on this and
21:52
Speaker 1: that I'll learn from it. Right, how would you feel
21:55
Speaker 1: if you did that? I mean, it's the hand of
21:56
Speaker 1: brown thing, right, Like I like Hannah. I love Hannah.
22:00
Speaker 1: She's she's a fun person to watch. But for weeks
22:03
Speaker 1: we were sitting here on this podcast going handa, we
22:05
Speaker 1: just need you to talk, like say something so that
22:08
Speaker 1: like we can then come about this in educated way.
22:11
Speaker 1: But when there's nothing being said, we sit here assuming
22:14
Speaker 1: things and reading things and hearing things and we don't
22:17
Speaker 1: know what to do with it. It's the same thing
22:19
Speaker 1: here with Colton is Colton, Um, he's not untouchable. Uh,
22:25
Speaker 1: he messed up, and I think at some point whenever
22:28
Speaker 1: he's ready, just like Hannah wait until she was ready
22:32
Speaker 1: and it's his timeline, it's Cassie's timeline, then it would
22:35
Speaker 1: be nice to hear him come out and and and
22:38
Speaker 1: I mean it looks like right now, what we need
22:41
Speaker 1: for definitely Cassie's sake is probably a public apology saying
22:44
Speaker 1: he was wrong. But hey, and I and I don't
22:47
Speaker 1: know how far he went with this, Like I don't
22:49
Speaker 1: know how scared she was, and I don't know all
22:51
Speaker 1: the behind the scenes. What I do know is love
22:54
Speaker 1: does crazy things to you. And and I what I
22:57
Speaker 1: do know is love can change you as a person overnight. Um,
23:04
Speaker 1: And so if Colton came out and said, hey, I
23:06
Speaker 1: went too far. I made big and terrible mistakes, but
23:10
Speaker 1: I did it because I was broken, my response to
23:13
Speaker 1: him would be I get it. Yes, you were wrong,
23:16
Speaker 1: I get it, And now what now? What are we
23:18
Speaker 1: gonna do about it? Right? I feel like people are
23:21
Speaker 1: more apt to forgive when people are being honest than
23:27
Speaker 1: like forgive him if he were to just keep denying
23:29
Speaker 1: that these like, if he keeps denying them, I think
23:32
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a worse. Look, that's what I mean. Well,
23:34
Speaker 1: and you know, with you know, we can blame we
23:38
Speaker 1: can all blame everybody else for our problems. We can
23:40
Speaker 1: blame you know, it's a common thing on the show.
23:42
Speaker 1: Come off the show. Blame producers if you if it's
23:45
Speaker 1: not what you wanted to, come off the show. Blame
23:47
Speaker 1: the cast, Blame other people. Uh, blame if we're in relationships,
23:52
Speaker 1: blame your ex. Is all these things, right, but at
23:55
Speaker 1: some point we all I mean, and I'm learning this
23:59
Speaker 1: right now, Like we all have to own up to
24:01
Speaker 1: our issues. And you know this as somebody who's married, right, Like,
24:05
Speaker 1: in a marriage, you can't just blame your spouse the
24:08
Speaker 1: old time. That's not going to go well for you now,
24:11
Speaker 1: Like you have to start taking ownership for your mutual
24:14
Speaker 1: mistakes and the things that you've done. That we're at
24:16
Speaker 1: a hand out of line no matter how big of
24:19
Speaker 1: a deal they are. And this is a big deal, um,
24:22
Speaker 1: and we're wishing the best for both of them, but
24:23
Speaker 1: we're really sensitive here to Cassie and the fact that
24:27
Speaker 1: she's walking through something, um that is obviously not ideal.
24:30
Speaker 1: Well Hey, speaking of Yeah, Peter Webber, who are who
24:37
Speaker 1: I really do love deeply and he was a great guy.
24:40
Speaker 1: But I don't know where this comes from. Actually, I
24:42
Speaker 1: need you to teach me. Peter Webber implies he's going
24:44
Speaker 1: to spill Bachelor t when his n d A is up. This,
24:47
Speaker 1: according to Cosmopolitan, well, to be honest, man, I can't
24:51
Speaker 1: believe that the Bachelor hasn't extended their n DA times
24:55
Speaker 1: have that option? Right? Right? Is our contract? Like do
25:01
Speaker 1: we have to be secretive about certain things for the
25:03
Speaker 1: rest of our lives? And there are certain things that
25:05
Speaker 1: we can start talking about or are we like free
25:08
Speaker 1: free will for total free will on Bachelor production after
25:12
Speaker 1: our contract dents? Do you know this? It's a little sticky.
25:15
Speaker 1: So yeah, exactly, if you use the Bachelor name and
25:19
Speaker 1: you associate whatever you're saying and doing with the Bachelor,
25:22
Speaker 1: then you need their approval for perpetuity, like they have
25:25
Speaker 1: your rights to air your season, to use that for
25:29
Speaker 1: as long as this show exists, and even after now
25:33
Speaker 1: when it comes to the tea and whatever to kind
25:35
Speaker 1: of tea that is, it gets sticky, Like it's not
25:38
Speaker 1: it's not a clear cut thing for any of us.
25:43
Speaker 1: But there have been so many Bachelor tell alls, and
25:46
Speaker 1: the tell alls do give you some good dirt, and
25:50
Speaker 1: it looks like Peter might be doing a tell all.
25:55
Speaker 1: So Cosmo wrote this article. I think that they're like
25:58
Speaker 1: stretching here. They said that under an instagram of Peter's
26:04
Speaker 1: he talks about he writes comments towards the fans. You know,
26:08
Speaker 1: he asks them and says, I'll explain myself one day.
26:12
Speaker 1: He also said happy y'all are to um somebody. So
26:16
Speaker 1: somebody said, happy you all are together, But I wasted
26:18
Speaker 1: my time on this season. This fan means I shouldn't
26:22
Speaker 1: have watched your season. I wasted my time on it
26:24
Speaker 1: because like you didn't end up with you ended up
26:26
Speaker 1: with the girl that you've met before the season. And
26:28
Speaker 1: that's when he said I'll explain myself one day. And
26:32
Speaker 1: then he also said in the comments, there's just so
26:35
Speaker 1: much no one knows about it yet, so it'll be
26:39
Speaker 1: good to get it out there. And then he also
26:43
Speaker 1: said to a fan that his n d A is
26:47
Speaker 1: over on March. And from these comments Cosmo fans, they're
26:55
Speaker 1: speculating that there's they're speculating that he's going to eat
26:59
Speaker 1: for podcast out or a book out or something like
27:02
Speaker 1: that that will explain why he and Kelly never got
27:05
Speaker 1: together on the show. Um Kelly did did an it's
27:12
Speaker 1: the story this week kind of going off of this,
27:15
Speaker 1: she said, somebody said in her questions on Instagram, why
27:20
Speaker 1: didn't Peter picky the first time? We all knew it
27:23
Speaker 1: was fate? And I do feel like they're they're coupling
27:27
Speaker 1: was very fate. Like I mean, they met before the show,
27:30
Speaker 1: they definitely hit it off. There's just was something there
27:33
Speaker 1: I always felt. But she says as her answer, Peter
27:38
Speaker 1: was told flash thought I didn't like him and I
27:43
Speaker 1: was only there to have fun. That's kind of what
27:46
Speaker 1: her storyline was on the show, that she was, uh,
27:50
Speaker 1: you know that she wasn't all in on Peter the
27:52
Speaker 1: guy because she wasn't like sure she really was getting
27:56
Speaker 1: to know him or and then she felt like the
27:58
Speaker 1: show was just not a place or her to find love,
28:00
Speaker 1: and that everybody was saying like, oh, Kelly doesn't even
28:03
Speaker 1: be taking this seriously. She's only here about fun, Like
28:05
Speaker 1: this is kind of stuff we've already known. Um So, yeah,
28:10
Speaker 1: we'll see if there's more depth to this mystery of
28:14
Speaker 1: why Kelly and Peter didn't end up on the show together.
28:17
Speaker 1: On March fIF two, possibly, do you think it's a
28:21
Speaker 1: smart idea if he does a tell on this, I mean,
28:25
Speaker 1: it matters in what form you can do a podcast
28:27
Speaker 1: and start talking about the show, which has obviously been
28:30
Speaker 1: a great thing for you and I. I would never
28:32
Speaker 1: tell anybody not to do it. I think it's a
28:33
Speaker 1: great thing you and I enjoy doing it obviously. Uh,
28:37
Speaker 1: there's been others that keV came about and been very
28:39
Speaker 1: successful talking about the show and breaking down every episode,
28:42
Speaker 1: and I would support anybody to do that does that.
28:45
Speaker 1: If that's his format, great, it's a book again, I mean,
28:49
Speaker 1: on a day that my book gets released, I'm gonna say,
28:51
Speaker 1: write a book like it's therapeutic. It's hard, it's difficult,
28:55
Speaker 1: you have to really start confronting your own things. Uh.
28:58
Speaker 1: And if it's a tell all form, I'm I'm I'm
29:00
Speaker 1: sure he's gonna be reliving memories from the show that
29:03
Speaker 1: he's probably forgotten or tried to forget, and he'll be
29:05
Speaker 1: writing him down, which could be therapeutic. Um. I don't know.
29:12
Speaker 1: I don't know what has not been shown in his
29:14
Speaker 1: season though. That's the part that I'm gonna be shocked by,
29:16
Speaker 1: because I felt like his season showed more of the
29:19
Speaker 1: behind the scenes than any season ever. I Mean, we
29:22
Speaker 1: had like parental um issues, we had, we had massive
29:28
Speaker 1: I mean I can't even still to this day, remember
29:31
Speaker 1: how the triangle of love had existed like it was
29:33
Speaker 1: Hannah and to then Maddie for like a few moments,
29:37
Speaker 1: and then now to Kelly and now he's super happy
29:39
Speaker 1: with Kelly. If if Peter Gold means it's been what
29:42
Speaker 1: what should I do? I say, Hey, do what you
29:44
Speaker 1: gotta do. But this has all worked out pretty good
29:47
Speaker 1: for you, Like people love you, people are still celebrating you.
29:50
Speaker 1: You've got a great girl. Now this this is all
29:53
Speaker 1: played out now, maybe not how you dreamed it would be,
29:56
Speaker 1: and it wasn't like perfectly like perfect, like there were
30:01
Speaker 1: issues involved, but it's now it's a good thing for you.
30:06
Speaker 1: And I would just be cautious anytime anybody wants to
30:09
Speaker 1: take a good thing and make it bad. Totally agree. Yeah,
30:16
Speaker 1: I mean I can't. Okay, if there was a girl
30:20
Speaker 1: on your season and let's just pretend the producers were like, Ben,
30:26
Speaker 1: she's just here to have fun, blah blah blah, would
30:29
Speaker 1: you really listen to the producers that much? But but
30:33
Speaker 1: also with all that being said, and if Peter came
30:36
Speaker 1: on the podcast, now I know he would tell you
30:38
Speaker 1: like he he did I mean one of his biggest
30:41
Speaker 1: things was he he couldn't get a grasp of what
30:44
Speaker 1: was going on in that environment the time. I mean
30:46
Speaker 1: it was, it was the whole thing, the whole season
30:48
Speaker 1: was Peter, put your foot down, stop the chaos, stop
30:51
Speaker 1: the gossip, stop the controversy, like say something like, you know,
30:55
Speaker 1: lead this thing forward a little bit, and it was.
30:57
Speaker 1: It was the one thing as a bachelor like that.
30:59
Speaker 1: People Well, we'll criticize him for the most but the
31:01
Speaker 1: other part about Peter that people will celebrate is the
31:04
Speaker 1: guy super lovable. He really wanted to find love. He
31:07
Speaker 1: was really in the pursuit of love on this show.
31:09
Speaker 1: He did it. He did it to the best of
31:11
Speaker 1: his ability, and he found it. So I don't know,
31:15
Speaker 1: I guess I go back to this and we can
31:17
Speaker 1: move forward with this. I don't know what else there
31:20
Speaker 1: is to say. UM, So I'm intrigued. I'll be listening.
31:24
Speaker 1: Um and you know, Peter Weber is going to spill
31:27
Speaker 1: the tea at least that's what people think. Uh, once
31:29
Speaker 1: his n DA is up and uh and at that
31:33
Speaker 1: point in time, we'll break it down again. I mean,
31:37
Speaker 1: I mean, there are stories like this, there's a lot
31:39
Speaker 1: of stories like this from Bastmination. There's Molly Mesnick and
31:42
Speaker 1: Jason Mesnick. Honestly, there's me and Jared. It's like we
31:45
Speaker 1: we dated other people on the show, and you come
31:49
Speaker 1: to you find the person you're meant to be with
31:52
Speaker 1: along the way. It doesn't mean that you don't have
31:55
Speaker 1: feelings for other people. UM, it's really about timing, and
32:00
Speaker 1: it's about like getting to know yourself and sometimes, like
32:03
Speaker 1: in my case and like in Molly's case, you actually
32:07
Speaker 1: need to be separated with the franchise for a while
32:10
Speaker 1: in order for people to discover what they really want
32:13
Speaker 1: and need. Well, that's everybody's love story, right, It's timing.
32:16
Speaker 1: It's place you could fall from multiple people in your journey,
32:19
Speaker 1: but at some point you end you know, all the
32:22
Speaker 1: roads lead to that partner, that person that matches you best. UH.
32:26
Speaker 1: And so we'll see we'll be watching speaking of UH
32:31
Speaker 1: women for my season. I do want to give a
32:33
Speaker 1: special shout out and in congratulations to Lauren Himmel who
32:36
Speaker 1: UH got married recently. She was on the podcast just
32:41
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago, UM breaking down UH the episode
32:44
Speaker 1: of the Goat that that Laura and I were in. UH.
32:47
Speaker 1: Congratulations Lauren himil big deal. Congrats to Lauren. Also congrats
32:52
Speaker 1: to Kenny King, who is engaged. Uh. It was the
32:56
Speaker 1: perfect place and perfect person. The couple says, um, so
33:01
Speaker 1: I think he was planning. He was pretending to his
33:04
Speaker 1: girlfriend that they were having a family picture day. So
33:07
Speaker 1: she was all like cute and dressed up, and she
33:09
Speaker 1: said that he had other plans. And she says on
33:12
Speaker 1: her Instagram, of course I say yes to forever with you.
33:15
Speaker 1: Kenny King is so underrated in Bachelor Nation. What a
33:19
Speaker 1: freaking sweetheart. What a great warmth about him. Yeah, that's
33:24
Speaker 1: just that. I mean, those are good stories and and
33:27
Speaker 1: there's mortgod stories to talk about. Katherine and shan Low
33:31
Speaker 1: obviously have a few kids. They have three kids, and
33:34
Speaker 1: Catherine has recently came out and said that parenting is
33:37
Speaker 1: a s h I T show this. According to US Weekly, Ashley,
33:42
Speaker 1: what's your referring to? Well, basically, they have one kid
33:46
Speaker 1: in diapers. Uh, they have a two year old and
33:49
Speaker 1: a four year old. And she just says that everything
33:53
Speaker 1: about their day it's somehow related to poop. She goes,
33:57
Speaker 1: It's always poop and somehow how we've never gotten sick
34:01
Speaker 1: or had pink Eye knock on wood. But I've never
34:04
Speaker 1: had pink eye. It's like a constant show around here.
34:07
Speaker 1: Before we had before we have kids before. Yeah, this
34:10
Speaker 1: is funny. This happens all the time to us. Before
34:13
Speaker 1: you have kids, she says, people are always trying to
34:17
Speaker 1: sell you on the fact that it's like such an
34:19
Speaker 1: amazing life, like, oh, kids are the best, right, And
34:22
Speaker 1: she said they say that, so you joined the exhaustion
34:25
Speaker 1: club with them. Uh yeah, I don't know. We've been Ron,
34:29
Speaker 1: Jane and Tanner enough too. I feel like know what
34:32
Speaker 1: what we're getting into. And it seems rough. I mean
34:35
Speaker 1: it's rough. And like my buddy who has three kids now. Uh,
34:40
Speaker 1: he and I used to kind of like hang out
34:42
Speaker 1: together when we were single and go out together. And
34:45
Speaker 1: I recently saw him in Denver and there's a joy
34:48
Speaker 1: to it that's like indescribable, and there's an energy that
34:52
Speaker 1: comes to you as a parent. It feels like that
34:54
Speaker 1: like I don't have right now. But then again, I
34:57
Speaker 1: watched my buddy when I hung out with him with
34:58
Speaker 1: his three kids. His head is constantly on a swivel.
35:02
Speaker 1: There's constantly something breaking. There is, yeah, diapers being changed,
35:06
Speaker 1: there's kids disappearing like it. I left there and I said,
35:11
Speaker 1: I still want kids. I'm still confident that get scared
35:15
Speaker 1: every time. Yeah, but like I'm scared, Like I love
35:20
Speaker 1: having a meat clean house, and I feel like that's
35:23
Speaker 1: one of the things that's not on the top of
35:24
Speaker 1: my mind when we think about kids. But it's something
35:26
Speaker 1: I'm gonna miss so much. Oh, it's absolutely ridiculous. But
35:32
Speaker 1: Kathery and Sean have always been good at highlighting their
35:34
Speaker 1: family and talking about the the ins and outs of parenting.
35:37
Speaker 1: It's it's just a great article to read if you
35:39
Speaker 1: get a chance. Um. But Kathery and Sean wishing the
35:42
Speaker 1: best and thanks for being honest. Yeah. Then I have
35:45
Speaker 1: a question about kids for you. And I know this
35:47
Speaker 1: is like a long time coming because you and Jess
35:49
Speaker 1: aren't married yet, but you guys planned to move to Denver, right,
35:55
Speaker 1: so that means that neither of your parents are going
35:58
Speaker 1: to be there. Do you feel like having parents, a
36:00
Speaker 1: set of the parents there the first kid, or maybe
36:04
Speaker 1: even just always is something that you would want? Yeah, Um,
36:11
Speaker 1: I I do. I mean I think that's something Jess
36:13
Speaker 1: and I really want, is our family, Like both of
36:15
Speaker 1: our sets of parents are so awesome. I mean, I
36:18
Speaker 1: really one of the coolest things about my relationship with Jessice.
36:21
Speaker 1: I really love her parents and her family like deeply,
36:25
Speaker 1: and she feels the same way about mine. I want
36:28
Speaker 1: them involved because I just think they're good influences and
36:31
Speaker 1: I think they're a good help and I think they
36:32
Speaker 1: would help guide us in our most troubled times. And
36:35
Speaker 1: here's maybe one of the biggest reasons selfishly, Jesse and
36:39
Speaker 1: I have talked about this often, is we really want
36:42
Speaker 1: to have kids but also still have a relationship, and
36:45
Speaker 1: we want to go out on dates and we want
36:46
Speaker 1: to explore together. And I think having a parent like
36:48
Speaker 1: one of our parents they're really would help that and
36:51
Speaker 1: actually add to the child's life. Like it wouldn't take
36:53
Speaker 1: away anything. It wouldn't make us less less or wouldn't
36:55
Speaker 1: make us parents who push our kids to the side.
36:58
Speaker 1: It would just make them be able to experience their grandparents,
37:00
Speaker 1: and I want that for them. I totally agree. You're right,
37:03
Speaker 1: You're able to keep more of a relationship together when
37:06
Speaker 1: you have your parents to lean on. Yes, so it
37:10
Speaker 1: is important to us, um and uh, And it might
37:13
Speaker 1: not be for everybody, but it is for us. Switching
37:15
Speaker 1: gears quite a bit from relationships and parenting to now.
37:21
Speaker 1: Rachel Lindsay details her first conversation with ex Peter Krauss
37:25
Speaker 1: since The Bachelor. At this according to E News Online. Yeah,
37:30
Speaker 1: so apparently back in June, it seems during the you know,
37:35
Speaker 1: the beginning of the Black Lives Matter movement, he reached
37:37
Speaker 1: out to her. He quote, he was asking me questions
37:41
Speaker 1: about it and stuff for some advice about responses he
37:44
Speaker 1: had gotten. Um, she said, we're adults here and we
37:47
Speaker 1: can all move on. Yeah, so it's pretty simple. But
37:51
Speaker 1: that's that. I mean, just yeah, I don't know what
37:56
Speaker 1: to do with this, but it is interesting that they
37:58
Speaker 1: spoke again, right, I mean what I look at like
38:02
Speaker 1: exactly I was gonna say, most of the leads end
38:05
Speaker 1: up talking to or even being friends with their runner up, definitely,
38:10
Speaker 1: because there's like that respect and that you obviously know
38:12
Speaker 1: the person. You're like, Yeah, I like you, Like I
38:14
Speaker 1: care about you a lot as a human like I obviously,
38:16
Speaker 1: and so not shocking, um, you know, but it's a
38:21
Speaker 1: big deal and and for me it's it was a
38:25
Speaker 1: I remember our very first conversation and it was almost
38:27
Speaker 1: like a weightlifted. I don't know if it was for her,
38:29
Speaker 1: but for me it was just like, okay, good. Now
38:32
Speaker 1: we'll probably see each other at events, will probably be
38:35
Speaker 1: around each other more than you would be with a
38:37
Speaker 1: typical X And it's great now that we can at
38:40
Speaker 1: least come into it like as friends, with that mutual
38:43
Speaker 1: respect and care for each other. And I'm sure Rachel
38:45
Speaker 1: and Peter are gonna not be able to do the
38:46
Speaker 1: same thing, which is which is really awesome. Um, speaking
38:50
Speaker 1: of x IS and somebody I'm a friend with, Caitlin
38:54
Speaker 1: Brusto just continues to keep the headlines Caitlin Bristow is
38:58
Speaker 1: on Dance with the Stars. If you don't know that,
39:00
Speaker 1: well I don't know where, Well you don't listen to
39:02
Speaker 1: the podcast, and you don't watch TV and all that.
39:05
Speaker 1: And and here's something really exciting about Caitlin. Lady she
39:09
Speaker 1: she danced to a song by Lady Gaga, and Lady
39:11
Speaker 1: Gaga actually retweeted this, so she saw it and she says,
39:16
Speaker 1: and I quote it made her cry. I know, Lady
39:20
Speaker 1: Gaga said, isn't it weird? Is it weird that this
39:23
Speaker 1: made me cry? I love watching people happy and dancing.
39:26
Speaker 1: So Lady Gaga knows who Caitlin is, and if I

Speaker 1: were Caitlin, I'd be like, Wow, that is maybe the
39:33
Speaker 1: coolest moment of my life. It's uh, it's just one
39:36
Speaker 1: of those like I don't know how Caitlin feels. I mean,
39:39
Speaker 1: Caitlin's is a big deal and she's everywhere now. She's
39:42
Speaker 1: a celebrity in her She's like such a celebrity that
39:44
Speaker 1: maybe doesn't excite her to see other celebrit I would
39:48
Speaker 1: be off the wall with lady Guyer retweeted me. I'd
39:50
Speaker 1: be telling my family, my friends, my grandma, like that
39:53
Speaker 1: would be wild. But good for Caitlin. She's still on

40:26
Speaker 1: place to spread love and to show the support for
40:28
Speaker 1: the people who have gone on the show. Um, it
40:30
Speaker 1: would be absolutely incredible if Caitlyn can win once again. Uh.
40:35
Speaker 1: Last two headlines. One is we just want to once again,
40:38
Speaker 1: UH send our warmest regards and also just our happiest
40:42
Speaker 1: of thoughts to Liz sand Off from The Bachelor. Um.
40:46
Speaker 1: The more details have come out according to people, UH
40:50
Speaker 1: that Liz says that they're they're recently born child. I
40:54
Speaker 1: think it's Jovi j O v i E. Noel. Um
40:58
Speaker 1: was not breathing when she was born, which has to
41:01
Speaker 1: be so scary as a parent. But um, as as
41:06
Speaker 1: they go onto the article and talk about it was
41:08
Speaker 1: a everything is good now. It was tough. It was
41:12
Speaker 1: one of those really scary moments. UM. But Jovi Noel
41:15
Speaker 1: and UH the family are healthy and good and we
41:18
Speaker 1: just want to say once again we talked about it
41:20
Speaker 1: last week, but we just want to say once again
41:22
Speaker 1: how thankful for we are for that. Uh and UH
41:25
Speaker 1: and that that is the headline of the article. So hey, Ashley,
41:29
Speaker 1: you know, we we've talked for a while now, we've
41:32
Speaker 1: talked through the season of COVID. UH. It's actually been
41:35
Speaker 1: really good. I think for us in our podcast and
41:37
Speaker 1: the and the listeners. We have a good we've had
41:39
Speaker 1: a good time with it, but we were soon approaching
41:42
Speaker 1: a season that we won't have to talk about headlines
41:46
Speaker 1: and do interviews. We're actually gonna have a season to
41:49
Speaker 1: break down. More teasers are coming out Ashley this week
41:54
Speaker 1: as we get one week closer to Claire season. What
41:57
Speaker 1: are you feeling and what are you thinking? I'm thinking,
42:01
Speaker 1: how many great puns do they have with Claire's name?
42:04
Speaker 1: You want clarity, you want to clarify what other ones
42:09
Speaker 1: are there? Uh? You want to clear the air. I
42:13
Speaker 1: don't know so many great puns, so much pretty Claire. Um.
42:20
Speaker 1: But they definitely are alluding to in these new spots
42:26
Speaker 1: that are getting that are airing during Dancing with the Stars,
42:29
Speaker 1: that that we that there's some sort of announcement that
42:32
Speaker 1: we are just dying to have that they haven't given
42:34
Speaker 1: us yet, which would be well, I I mean, yes,
42:37
Speaker 1: I think we're all assuming it's gonna be Taisha. But
42:40
Speaker 1: the cool part is actually one of the things that
42:42
Speaker 1: you and I are both worried about is if Claire
42:44
Speaker 1: left early for whatever reason, we're gonna miss the clear
42:48
Speaker 1: moments that we're expecting we are, but we're gonna get it.
42:52
Speaker 1: Like we've already seen in the teasers, she yells at
42:55
Speaker 1: a contestant get out of here, and then we see
42:56
Speaker 1: Chris Harrison doing it. Chris Harrison does best with sis,
42:59
Speaker 1: you know, say down with her having that relationship conversation.
43:03
Speaker 1: I mean, we're gonna get and I don't know if
43:05
Speaker 1: we're gonna get enough Claire. We're gonna get at least
43:08
Speaker 1: some Claire still during this season. Oh, we're gonna get
43:11
Speaker 1: quintessential Claire. But you're right, Ben, and I haven't quite
43:15
Speaker 1: said it blatantly, but when I did hear that she,
43:17
Speaker 1: you know, might have left the show early, I was like, Oh,
43:21
Speaker 1: I was really hoping for eleven weeks of Claire and
43:25
Speaker 1: I would love eleven weeks Septatia to you know, like
43:27
Speaker 1: two separate Bachelor season Bachelorette seasons. But I was definitely
43:32
Speaker 1: looking forward to so much claireisms and we're only going
43:35
Speaker 1: to get possibly a few weeks of them. So but
43:39
Speaker 1: you're right, I think she will deliver in the weeks
43:40
Speaker 1: that she she has. Yeah, Claire, Claire will still be clear.
43:44
Speaker 1: She doesn't change no matter how long or short she's
43:47
Speaker 1: there Ashley up. Next, we have one of Caitlin Bristow's
43:51
Speaker 1: x is one of our good friends, Chris Strandberg on
43:55
Speaker 1: the podcast, breaking down everything Caitlin and who knows what else.
43:58
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a dentist, so I'm sure we're gonna
44:00
Speaker 1: talk about that, uh and possibly relationship he's been in
44:03
Speaker 1: for two years and been pretty quiet about. So let's
44:05
Speaker 1: take a break. We come back. We'll have Chris Stranburg
44:07
Speaker 1: on the podcast. All right, guys, Chris Stranburg. It is
44:20
Speaker 1: on the podcast for the first time since these guys
44:24
Speaker 1: and I'm talking about you, and the producer has been
44:27
Speaker 1: trying to set me up with him like four years ago.
44:32
Speaker 1: Oh man, good old days. Yes, you guys made me
44:37
Speaker 1: blush and Phil awkward at all times every episode. You
44:40
Speaker 1: wouldn't let it die anyway. Now, the last time I
44:43
Speaker 1: saw Chris, which is a very sad, sad fact, was
44:47
Speaker 1: at my wedding. Uh, Chris at my wedding. Something very
44:52
Speaker 1: funny happened. Like if we had a reality if the
44:55
Speaker 1: Bachelor came and taped our wedding, like this would be
44:57
Speaker 1: a really funny focal point. You took yourself to the
45:01
Speaker 1: hospital the day on my wedding. Can you explain this story? Well,
45:05
Speaker 1: you know, I'm I'm really tough, I'm good at all sports. Um,
45:09
Speaker 1: and it's no surprise that I would get a concussion
45:12
Speaker 1: playing touch football on the beach. Okay, this is good.
45:17
Speaker 1: This is where we need to die. Wait a minute,
45:21
Speaker 1: Wait a minute. Maybe somebody touched me really hard you think, no, No,
45:25
Speaker 1: nobody touched me. Nobody touched me. I just jumped for
45:29
Speaker 1: the ball and landed on my head. Like you were
45:34
Speaker 1: very the guys, the guys didn't hide the fact that
45:39
Speaker 1: you were very awkward at playing football. They're like, he
45:42
Speaker 1: said that he was going to be awkward, but we
45:43
Speaker 1: didn't think it was going to be this bad. And
45:45
Speaker 1: then you jumped, you hit the back of your head,
45:48
Speaker 1: and then you ended the game with that. Like they
45:51
Speaker 1: all had to stop. They had to stop because suddenly
45:54
Speaker 1: I didn't know how I got there. Literally, I lost
45:59
Speaker 1: to the beach. For you memory twelve hours? Yeah, I
46:05
Speaker 1: had to. I literally had to call my mom and
46:08
Speaker 1: I was like, his mom, So I'm fine, but how
46:11
Speaker 1: did I get here? Can you walk me through the
46:13
Speaker 1: last twelve hours? That's not a scary phone call from
46:15
Speaker 1: my mom? Hey mom, Yeah, I'm fine, I just don't
46:19
Speaker 1: remember life. Wait, wait, now that I'm thinking about this, this
46:21
Speaker 1: this is the day of a rehearsal dinner. Tara didn't
46:23
Speaker 1: play football all the day of our wedding. Yeah, okay,
46:26
Speaker 1: rehearsal then you were there. Yeah, We're on the beach
46:28
Speaker 1: in Newport, and um uh there is a pass thrown
46:32
Speaker 1: to Chris, who jumps up in the air to grab it,
46:35
Speaker 1: and it was actually I mean, for what Chris lacks
46:38
Speaker 1: in um catching ability, he makes up for in his
46:42
Speaker 1: his jumping skills. He's a very good levitation, very he
46:46
Speaker 1: has a very good jump. So he jumps up. Well,
46:49
Speaker 1: he doesn't catch the ball, but what he does do
46:52
Speaker 1: is he falls backwards onto his back and he hits
46:55
Speaker 1: his head against the sand, which automatically, I guess knocked.
46:59
Speaker 1: Chris is memory just completely gone. He starts wandering the beach.
47:04
Speaker 1: The game ends because we no longer have even sides,
47:07
Speaker 1: and Chris takes himself to the hospital, which came out fine, nothing,
47:14
Speaker 1: nothing major. He was okay. He showed up to rehearsal
47:17
Speaker 1: dinner that evening. He made the most. Memory came back.
47:19
Speaker 1: Memory came back. He remembers the love story that Ashley
47:22
Speaker 1: and Jared portrayed to all of us. But I would say,
47:26
Speaker 1: I will say I've never seen somebody get so hurt
47:29
Speaker 1: in a touch football game. Never so one of my skills.
47:35
Speaker 1: You know, I'm extra fragile, and uh, I took that
47:39
Speaker 1: fall like a champ. Hey. I take a doctor over
47:43
Speaker 1: an athlete any day, And I'm pretty sure most women
47:45
Speaker 1: out there would, including your girlfriend, including my girlfriend, who
47:50
Speaker 1: you've been with for how long? Two years? Wow? How's
47:54
Speaker 1: it going? It's going good. COVID hasn't got us down?
47:59
Speaker 1: Are you? How much time have you spent together during COVID?
48:03
Speaker 1: How much time did she and I spend together? Um?
48:06
Speaker 1: A good amount, but not all the time. Let's say
48:08
Speaker 1: about half the week. That's pretty good. She's pretty busy
48:11
Speaker 1: with her new jobs, so um yeah, and then our
48:15
Speaker 1: schedules are a little bit off, but we make a
48:16
Speaker 1: good amount of time. How has the dental intry industry,
48:21
Speaker 1: would you, diddle Field been affected by COVID? Because when
48:24
Speaker 1: I think about going to get it cleaning now, I'm like,
48:27
Speaker 1: I feel pretty save a lot of places, But with
48:30
Speaker 1: my mouth open like that, I could I feel pretty susceptible,
48:33
Speaker 1: pretty vulnerable, it's the one place you're required not to
48:38
Speaker 1: wear a mask. Yeah, why can't can't can't wear a
48:41
Speaker 1: mask over your mouth? That's a dentist. Oh. I felt
48:44
Speaker 1: like when you walked in like you couldn't have a
48:46
Speaker 1: mask on though when you sit down in the Yeah,
48:48
Speaker 1: that makes sense. The uh I mean, but you're you're
48:52
Speaker 1: you're staying upright. Things are okay right now, as we
48:55
Speaker 1: talked to Chris, he's in his scrubs and he has
48:57
Speaker 1: a bonnet on his head. Uh. Yeah, Chris, we saw
49:04
Speaker 1: recently you've been doing more and more kind of like
49:07
Speaker 1: beauty tips and kind of you took over Amazon's um
49:11
Speaker 1: Beauty Weak or whatever it was. I'm doing that on Friday, Yeah,
49:16
Speaker 1: so we did an Amazon live There was a deal
49:19
Speaker 1: of the day that water cad was some of their products,
49:21
Speaker 1: so I did a live stream with them. And now
49:23
Speaker 1: there's a special beauty Day. So I guess you know
49:26
Speaker 1: your teeth are considered a beauty products. So a couple
49:29
Speaker 1: of the water Pig products are going on sale and
49:32
Speaker 1: I'm hosting a live stream of that. But what are
49:35
Speaker 1: some of the tips that you would give to? Like? Okay,
49:38
Speaker 1: if for any of our listeners who are not, uh,
49:42
Speaker 1: beauty experts. Some of them probably are, but they just wonder,
49:46
Speaker 1: what are some of the secret tips that taken care
49:47
Speaker 1: of your teeth. What are some of the tips that
49:49
Speaker 1: you would give. Number One, you have to be consistent. Um.
49:56
Speaker 1: People will be on a good role with their teeth
49:58
Speaker 1: and then they'll kind of fall off. It happens when
50:00
Speaker 1: people get stressed out. Things happen in life. Home care
50:03
Speaker 1: takes a you know, back seat. It feels like a
50:06
Speaker 1: low priority. But staying consistent with is important. Um. But
50:09
Speaker 1: you gotta clean between your teeth um, where stain develops.
50:14
Speaker 1: Toothbrushes often can't even though you're brushing your teeth. The
50:17
Speaker 1: stain develops in the creases of your teeth between right.
50:20
Speaker 1: Bad breath happens from bacteria collecting between your teeth and
50:24
Speaker 1: below your gun line. So you've got to clean those spaces.
50:27
Speaker 1: And I'm sorry that the toothbrush alone doesn't do that.
50:30
Speaker 1: And you know, I tried for a few years working
50:32
Speaker 1: in dental practice, telling people the floss floss, floss floss,
50:36
Speaker 1: using string floss, and then even the people who are good,
50:38
Speaker 1: they're not doing it right because it's very technique sensitive.
50:41
Speaker 1: So finally, I'm just like, okay, what else is there?
50:45
Speaker 1: And you just take a jet stream of water and
50:49
Speaker 1: then you power washed between your teeth. It's kind of
50:51
Speaker 1: like simple, it makes sense, but it doesn't seem like, okay,
50:55
Speaker 1: well is that effective. Well, you're breaking up the bacteria
50:58
Speaker 1: and you're getting in deep for than you could with
51:00
Speaker 1: the string, so you're really cleaning it out. But in
51:03
Speaker 1: addition to that, with the string, you're kind of leaving
51:05
Speaker 1: some of that debris in between your teeth, but with
51:08
Speaker 1: the water you rinse it away. So you know, they've
51:12
Speaker 1: done tons of studies on this and every time it's
51:14
Speaker 1: like twice as effective as the other way a string floss.
51:18
Speaker 1: So I just I'm a big believer it. Do you
51:21
Speaker 1: water pick before you brush, then I do. I think
51:25
Speaker 1: that's a great way to do it, because the reason
51:27
Speaker 1: that we use fluoride and toothpastees is to repair the enamel.
51:31
Speaker 1: And if the in between surfaces of your teeth are
51:34
Speaker 1: clean from having just water floss, then when you brush,
51:37
Speaker 1: the fluoride will soak into your teeth and repair the
51:40
Speaker 1: sides of your teeth. Here's my issue. I have one
51:43
Speaker 1: issue at this. So I had a water pick for
51:46
Speaker 1: a bit, and I pick my teeth as often as
51:49
Speaker 1: I could, But then my mirror is covered in water
51:54
Speaker 1: pellets and it's going everywhere, and it felt disgusting and
51:57
Speaker 1: it was hitting my face and I couldn't keep the
52:00
Speaker 1: water inside of my mouth. It was flying everywhere. My
52:03
Speaker 1: techniques obviously failing. How do I do this better? So
52:09
Speaker 1: to two ways you can fix your problem. Number one,
52:12
Speaker 1: they make a waterproof version that you can take in
52:14
Speaker 1: the shower. That sounds fun, rechargeable, it's really cool. Um
52:20
Speaker 1: My favorite one is the cordless Advance. But another thing
52:24
Speaker 1: is break up your mouth into small sections, so don't
52:28
Speaker 1: try to rinse your whole mouth out at a time
52:31
Speaker 1: with the floss. You keep your hand like there's normally
52:34
Speaker 1: like a power button or an on off switch, So
52:37
Speaker 1: close your lips around the tip and then just do
52:39
Speaker 1: five teeth and then turn it off and spit and
52:42
Speaker 1: then repeat and repeat, so you're only getting a little
52:45
Speaker 1: bit of water in your mouth each time. If you
52:47
Speaker 1: switch to that method rather than trying to do the
52:49
Speaker 1: whole thing, you're like overwhelmed, like, oh my gosh, my
52:51
Speaker 1: mouth is filling up with water. Just break it up
52:53
Speaker 1: into little sections overnight it will change. You won't get
52:56
Speaker 1: the mirror anymore. I won't get on your chin or
52:58
Speaker 1: your shirt. Huge. Well, I love the way that this
53:01
Speaker 1: has become a beauty podcast where you're we're going to
53:06
Speaker 1: title this Bachelor beauty. And I have two questions in
53:11
Speaker 1: that realm for you. One whitening toothpaste. Um, I know
53:16
Speaker 1: that a lot of dentists like, don't like don't they
53:18
Speaker 1: think that whitening toothpaste like strips the enamel? Yes, okay,
53:23
Speaker 1: So Jared did some research on what the best whitening
53:26
Speaker 1: toothpaste was and it's said on the internet that it
53:29
Speaker 1: was Armine Hammer. So he got the arm and Hammer
53:31
Speaker 1: and I was like, this taste disgusting and how in
53:35
Speaker 1: the world is this the number one for whitening Because
53:38
Speaker 1: the Crest and cold Gate they just brand the out
53:42
Speaker 1: of their whitening stuff, and I really believe it was
53:45
Speaker 1: like all their little like sparkles in the toothpaste. And
53:48
Speaker 1: then after a month or so, I'm like, holy crap,
53:50
Speaker 1: your teeth are almost whiter than mine. Now. It was
53:53
Speaker 1: a significant improvement, more than I've ever seen. And Chris
53:57
Speaker 1: is doing a little jig over there. Are you dancing
53:59
Speaker 1: at what I'm saying, I'm dancing. Do you like that?
54:02
Speaker 1: You like what happened here? So, the philosophy for whitening
54:06
Speaker 1: your teeth with the toothpaste two ways your teeth get yellow.
54:10
Speaker 1: There's the surface stain, the junk on top of your teeth,
54:13
Speaker 1: and then there's the internal color of your teeth. The
54:16
Speaker 1: surface stain is minimized by keeping them, you know, keep it,
54:20
Speaker 1: keeping that film, that plaque, keeping them off your teeth.
54:22
Speaker 1: The other thing is bleaching the inside of your tooth,
54:26
Speaker 1: which is like all of those things that you see
54:28
Speaker 1: on TV or on Instagram. How do I bleach my teeth?
54:32
Speaker 1: You use hydrogen peroxide. The certain other products that you
54:37
Speaker 1: mentioned contain really abrasive um, little like almost sand. It's
54:43
Speaker 1: hydrated silica, and that scratches your teeth surfaces to remove
54:47
Speaker 1: quote unquote like the surface stain. But hydrated silica is
54:51
Speaker 1: really damaging to enamel. So arm and hammer actually has
54:57
Speaker 1: more um sodium bicarbonate, which is baking soda, and that's
55:01
Speaker 1: what you taste, and it's the sodium. It's kind of
55:03
Speaker 1: like this weird salty, grainy downside. I'm like, how you
55:07
Speaker 1: brush your teeth with this? Yeah? Well, My favorite formula
55:11
Speaker 1: for taste and also for just for all around is
55:13
Speaker 1: called Bright and Strong, and it's by armad Hammer. But
55:18
Speaker 1: the difference is that the baking soda is not abrasive
55:23
Speaker 1: to your enamel. Instead, it breaks up the plaque in
55:27
Speaker 1: a different way, almost in a chemical way, so it's
55:29
Speaker 1: not as abrasive. It sort of melts it away, but
55:31
Speaker 1: that doesn't affect your enamel at all. So that's Number one,
55:35
Speaker 1: is that it removes the surface stains more gently and
55:38
Speaker 1: more effectively. Number Two, it contains hydrogen peroxide, so that
55:42
Speaker 1: day in day out you're doing this, it's soaking in
55:45
Speaker 1: deeper than the surface, and it's brightening up from the
55:48
Speaker 1: inside right to know, thank you, I love this stuff.
55:52
Speaker 1: Number Two, I noticed, and I've told you this a
55:56
Speaker 1: number of times, and I will bite the bullet one
55:59
Speaker 1: day that my teeth are really shifting on the bottom.
56:02
Speaker 1: And my question to you is, if you had braces
56:07
Speaker 1: as a kid, is it inevitable that your teeth will
56:11
Speaker 1: shift again? If you at all stop your retainer. It is,
56:17
Speaker 1: almost without exception, inevitable. And it's because there's a genetic
56:22
Speaker 1: adaptation where teeth are designed to shift forward. Because as
56:26
Speaker 1: we age, our teeth actually rub against each other and
56:30
Speaker 1: they get smaller, so gaps would develop between our teeth
56:34
Speaker 1: unless they were shifting forward like everybody you know, stay
56:37
Speaker 1: close in line. And then obviously ancient history people lost
56:41
Speaker 1: their teeth a lot more frequently. If you have a
56:43
Speaker 1: big missing space there, it's not ideal. But if your
56:46
Speaker 1: teeth move forward to close the gap, it tends to
56:49
Speaker 1: be better. So there's that element which is teeth move forward,
56:53
Speaker 1: and then over time it can increase. If your bite
56:56
Speaker 1: is off, it's if it's not stable, then um teeth
56:59
Speaker 1: will crow out more often. And also if you get
57:01
Speaker 1: gum disease, the bone support will actually degrade and that
57:05
Speaker 1: makes teeth more movable and then they'll tend to lean
57:08
Speaker 1: forward as well. So unfortunately, it's as deep as like genetics.
57:13
Speaker 1: So you need to keep your retainer in to maintain
57:16
Speaker 1: straight teeth pretty much no matter what. There's not many
57:18
Speaker 1: things I'm great at in life, but I am really
57:21
Speaker 1: good at wearing my retainer. I wear every night. Chris,
57:25
Speaker 1: I just want to tell you that so that you
57:27
Speaker 1: would feel like I'm a little bit better a human. Um.
57:30
Speaker 1: I hope that worked. It's it's a genuine need. But yes,
57:33
Speaker 1: then you always know how to sweet talk to me.
57:36
Speaker 1: I'm really getting in deep here. I'm pretty good at
57:38
Speaker 1: it actually, any more beauty tips, Well, no, I do
57:41
Speaker 1: have a marketing ploy for you though. So if I
57:44
Speaker 1: was a publicist of a boy band, like a publicism
57:46
Speaker 1: boy band, I would tell them too that they all
57:48
Speaker 1: have to remain single in order to get the girls
57:51
Speaker 1: to come to the concerts, you know, because the girls
57:53
Speaker 1: need to have that fantasy of getting with them. With you,
57:55
Speaker 1: as the hot dentist opening a new office, I would
58:00
Speaker 1: have not even brought up your girlfriend and just tried
58:02
Speaker 1: to get everybody that listens to our podcast to go
58:04
Speaker 1: to your office. And then when they're there and sucked
58:07
Speaker 1: in by your talent, then they'd be like, oh, he's
58:10
Speaker 1: not single, darn it. They see the picture on the
58:13
Speaker 1: desk of him and his girl smiling. Well, Chris to
58:16
Speaker 1: in this to talk about your girlfriend the one last time.
58:19
Speaker 1: I have two big questions for you. Okay, one's gonna
58:22
Speaker 1: be a softball question and I'll wait to end it
58:25
Speaker 1: with that. The first one is, how is your girlfriend's breath?
58:33
Speaker 1: My girlfriend, Well, come on, I'm on her about brushing
58:38
Speaker 1: and filosting. Twice a day, so she's perfect and you
58:41
Speaker 1: know what, not accept anything different than that. But fortunately
58:44
Speaker 1: she's kind of like a neat freak and health freak anyways,
58:48
Speaker 1: so it didn't take long. But she's got the water pick,
58:50
Speaker 1: she's got the toothpaste, so it's it's minty all the time.
58:54
Speaker 1: You're getting all giddy talking about that. When you get giddy, yeah,
58:57
Speaker 1: but we start talking about your girlfriend's breath and you're
59:00
Speaker 1: worman in your chair. You're smiling big. I mean, you
59:02
Speaker 1: know how to get to Chris's hard. The last question
59:05
Speaker 1: for you, buddy, is what what are your favorite characteristics
59:09
Speaker 1: about your girlfriend? Like, what do you really like after
59:11
Speaker 1: two years? What have you learned that you really appreciate
59:13
Speaker 1: about her? She's just such a sweetheart. I mean, she
59:17
Speaker 1: she cares about me so much. If I'm stressed out,
59:21
Speaker 1: she's there for me. She's supportive, and she really is encouraging.
59:27
Speaker 1: I mean, if you know, you have self doubt sometimes
59:29
Speaker 1: and she just like believes in me so much, so
59:32
Speaker 1: I would say that that's the thing. Also, we can
59:35
Speaker 1: talk and talk and talk forever. She's always got um
59:38
Speaker 1: like something interesting to say, and I feel like that
59:41
Speaker 1: for me in the past, that's been uh kind of
59:44
Speaker 1: a hold up? Is you just kind of run out
59:45
Speaker 1: of things to talk about? But she and I are
59:48
Speaker 1: always having some good conversations, so I don't know if
59:51
Speaker 1: she's just very engaging and she's gotta big heart. Let's
59:54
Speaker 1: talk about your extralfriend. Caitlin Burstow for a second, are
59:57
Speaker 1: you watching her? I'm Dancing with the Stars. Oh my gosh,
1:00:00
Speaker 1: she did so good. Even later dog out thought she
1:00:05
Speaker 1: did well. I saw that. I mean, I'm I'm so
1:00:10
Speaker 1: happy for Caitlin because eat any one of these elements
1:00:14
Speaker 1: in isolation would have been enough to just make everything
1:00:17
Speaker 1: for make her year. But they're all happening together and
1:00:20
Speaker 1: she's actually doing well, So I know it'd be hard
1:00:24
Speaker 1: to have, Like it would be two bachelorettes in a
1:00:26
Speaker 1: row if she wins, right, Yeah, I know that'd be
1:00:30
Speaker 1: seems unprecedented. Yeah, I think she could do it. Bachelor
1:00:33
Speaker 1: Nation strong, they support, they love hard, come on, stick together,
1:00:39
Speaker 1: Bachelor Nation. It's been a rough year for Bachelor Nation
1:00:42
Speaker 1: with COVID and having to wait for the shows like
1:00:45
Speaker 1: Rally Around. Caitlin. Absolutely, I love that advice. Now if
1:00:49
Speaker 1: people want to visit you become a new patient. Where
1:00:52
Speaker 1: should they go to? Those are the longest way list.

1:01:13
Speaker 1: I wanted to throw out there. Starting at four am tomorrow,
1:01:17
Speaker 1: I'm going to be doing a media blitz with water Picks,
1:01:20
Speaker 1: So I'm doing like fifteen to twenty interviews UM across

1:01:27
Speaker 1: news shows. So they've been keeping me busy recently. Are

Speaker 1: you going to be like on the cover of water
1:01:33

1:01:42
Speaker 1: the box, but I'd buy that box right there. Chris

Speaker 1: remind you once again to follow our Instagram page. We
1:02:14
Speaker 1: are tracking it. We've been very active on posting on it,
1:02:18
Speaker 1: which is awesome. It's on Instagram. It's almost underscore famous podcast.
1:02:24
Speaker 1: Go out and follow that for all of the clips
1:02:27
Speaker 1: from our show, some more behind the scenes, uh footage.
1:02:31
Speaker 1: It's It's gonna be a lot of fun for us
1:02:33
Speaker 1: to interact with you in a different way, but we
1:02:34
Speaker 1: also always love it when you email us. Continue to
1:02:37
Speaker 1: email us at Ben and Ashley at iHeart media dot com. Uh.
1:02:41
Speaker 1: And we got an email from Maddie that we're gonna
1:02:43
Speaker 1: respond to right now. She says, I have this burning question,
1:02:46
Speaker 1: ses you two seem to have a great relationship with
1:02:49
Speaker 1: everyone in Bachelor Nation. Does it ever feel hard to
1:02:52
Speaker 1: give headlines on good friends of yours? Even if they're
1:02:55
Speaker 1: positive headlines? Well, not positive headlines. In my opinion, the
1:03:00
Speaker 1: headlines are always easy, but uh, these controversial headlines, especially
1:03:04
Speaker 1: that we've been getting over the past year, have been
1:03:07
Speaker 1: very awkward to talk about. And even if you're not
1:03:10
Speaker 1: friends with them, you've met them a few times and
1:03:13
Speaker 1: I feel like what Ben always says about in depth podcast,
1:03:16
Speaker 1: once you know someone, it's hard to ever it's hard
1:03:21
Speaker 1: to not like them. Yeah, so so yeah, it's it's
1:03:25
Speaker 1: a challenge to talk about some of these topics about
1:03:27
Speaker 1: our friends and acquaintances. But we also hope that they
1:03:31
Speaker 1: respect that this is like our job and that they
1:03:34
Speaker 1: have chosen to be public figures who should expect to
1:03:38
Speaker 1: be spoken about in the media. I mean, some of
1:03:40
Speaker 1: my friends. If I were to do something, uh that
1:03:44
Speaker 1: was off center and I would expect me to talk
1:03:46
Speaker 1: about it, I'd have no problem with that. It wouldn't
1:03:48
Speaker 1: be fun, right, It's not ideal, but that's the world
1:03:51
Speaker 1: that we live in. I will say this though before,
1:03:54
Speaker 1: like especially right now, like Colton and Cassie are a
1:03:57
Speaker 1: a scenario we can talk about going on right now,
1:04:01
Speaker 1: Ashley and I do spend time off of the podcast
1:04:04
Speaker 1: talking about each other's emotions and feelings and trying to
1:04:08
Speaker 1: get to a place that's not um unhealthy. I guess
1:04:12
Speaker 1: would like at least a place that's been thought through
1:04:14
Speaker 1: and not speaking from reaction, but speaking from hey, what's
1:04:18
Speaker 1: being reported, what are people saying? How do you feel
1:04:21
Speaker 1: about this? How do I feel about it? And then
1:04:22
Speaker 1: we can come on here and have a little bit
1:04:24
Speaker 1: of a wiser conversation that still touches everything that we're
1:04:29
Speaker 1: feeling and thinking. It just not might not be so reactionary,
1:04:32
Speaker 1: because I think reaction will get us into trouble and
1:04:35
Speaker 1: oftentimes have us saying things that just aren't true. That
1:04:38
Speaker 1: just becomes more difficult because it takes more time. But
1:04:41
Speaker 1: it's not fun and it's all I mean, let's just
1:04:44
Speaker 1: be honest with everything here. Like you all are fans
1:04:46
Speaker 1: of the of the Bachelor and the Bachelor at it's
1:04:49
Speaker 1: not fun for you either to hear these headlines, Like
1:04:52
Speaker 1: it's not like you're celebrating the fact that there's trauma.
1:04:54
Speaker 1: There's drama and trauma and issues going on in the
1:04:59
Speaker 1: lives of these people who you've watched and rooted for
1:05:01
Speaker 1: and celebrated. Like it's hard for everybody involved, including the people.
1:05:05
Speaker 1: But we have the unique position that we need to
1:05:08
Speaker 1: talk about it because it is what we signed up for.
1:05:10
Speaker 1: It is what we've agreed to do. It's not fun, though,
1:05:13
Speaker 1: and we hope that all these people know that if
1:05:16
Speaker 1: they do want to platform and talk about it, that
1:05:18
Speaker 1: we are giving it to them here too. So we
1:05:20
Speaker 1: never want to just talk about them. We like to
1:05:23
Speaker 1: talk with them if they feel comfortable. Well, actually, It's
1:05:28
Speaker 1: been another week of the Almost Famous podcast and has
1:05:32
Speaker 1: you you go heal that face years? Is that the
1:05:34
Speaker 1: right way? Okay, yeah, it's it's healing. And I also
1:05:39
Speaker 1: want to thank everybody who wrote on our message boards
1:05:42
Speaker 1: on Facebook. The Almost Famous message boards is a really
1:05:45

1:05:59
Speaker 1: are definitely being considered. I'm thinking you guys. Emily Maynard,
1:06:05
Speaker 1: she hasn't responded to us. We really really wanted to
1:06:09
Speaker 1: come on. So if you can do anything to push that,
1:06:12
Speaker 1: we'd love that. Um not push too hard to be rude,
1:06:15
Speaker 1: but you know, like a loving push. And then I
1:06:17
Speaker 1: think Karin is a great idea for an in depth too,
1:06:20
Speaker 1: So keep that feedback coming. We love you so much,
1:06:22
Speaker 1: and uh for now, then you've got to sign off first,
