• 3:28
  Speaker 4: a moment if you will, I'll give you a chance
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: to wait. We'll start with Wells, something we don't know
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: that happened on the show. It could be while you
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: were bartending, hosting, or when you were about to get
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: dumped by Jojoe whatever.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Thanks for bringing your sure is it too soon?
• 3:46
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: You know in Argentina, I got my arm broken by.
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: I have so many funny stories from the show, and
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: it's it's unfortunate because all my stuff gets cut.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: From the show.
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: I'm hilarious, but you guys have no idea because it's
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: left in the cutting room floor.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: But I think that my favorite story that like people.
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: Don't know about, that I thought was going to be
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: a storyline, but then like looking back, obviously it wasn't.
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: Was when we were filming Bachelorette. So you're traveling around
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: with twenty five just agro dudes all around the world.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Right, you got.
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: Chad who's eating meat and on way too many steroids,
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: a lot of protein, so much protein, and someone moved
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: his protein powder and that was a bad day. But
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: what ended up happening is we started traveling around the world.
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: We went to Nemicole in Pennsylvania, then we went down
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: to Uruguay, then we went to Argentina, and then I
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: got dumped there and then I think they went somewhere else.
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: But every time that we would go into the bath
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: we were sharing one bathroom for like twenty five guys
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: and We'd go into the bathroom and there would be
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: a log still in there every day, and we started
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: calling this person the poop bandit, and we filmed an
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: entire scene of us trying to figure out who the
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: poop bandit was. I think it was Jordan Rogers. I
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: am almost one hundred percent.
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: Let's just go with that, but but.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: I think it.
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: I think Chad started it, but then we kicked him off,
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: and then Jordan was like, the poop bandit must live.
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: Enjoy your desserts.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Yes, I've had two poop jokes tonight.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: Now I regret that question altogether. You know what, It's
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: not lost on me that I am sitting between two
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: guys that both made out with Jojo. One got dumped
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: by her, the other broke up with her.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, whoa, Ben, what were you thinking?
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: She's amazing?
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: She's a great girl. Man.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: My story was going to be not similar, but I'll
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: try to yeah something, let's.
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: Try to move off. Yeah, the toilet.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: So here's a crazy story about my time as the Bachelor. Okay,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: the week before he started filming, my best friend in
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: the world me Chris Harrison. No, he gets married in
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Honduras and I go down there go to this wedding.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: They let me go. I come back and I'm sick
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: in multiple ways. I'm sick.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: I lose thirty pounds on The Bachelor, I get. If
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: you watch the season from start to finish, you'll see it.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: I ended the show at like one hundred and seventy
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: five pounds, and I'm not like a short person. They
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: had to keep tailoring my suits down to me because
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: they do that. And we have this guy on the show,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: carry Fetman. He's an amazing guy, and he just kept
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: tailoring these suits down to me. I get on the
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: flight home from the show and my stomach just locks up.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: On the flight.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: I go to the hospital. They send me to the hospital.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: I have a parasite in my gut. I go two
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: weeks of like almost like chemo type medication to get
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: rid of this parasite that has eaten through my stomach.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Lining still to this day, I have issues from this
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: still to this day. If you watch the show from
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: start to finish, so imagine being a software salesman from Denver, Colorado,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: working in a cubicle, becoming the Bachelor with all the
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: cameras and being like sick, not feeling good.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: The whole time and still trying.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: To go through this show, and the show kept saying,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: You're stressed, You're anxious, you're tired, And I get why
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: they were saying that.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: I was all of those things.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Yes, but we find out later I had a worm
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: growing in my gut for three months.
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: This is not the show I thought we were going
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: to do tonight.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: Nobody knows that story. It's a good story, Yeah, it's
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: a good story.
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: By the look on her face, I'm not sure that's
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: a good story.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: By the way, I don't know if anybody knows this.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Samantha just got engaged last night.
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: Oh my god, Samantha, hold on, breaking news. Let's see
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: the Neil Lane ring.
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: Break breaking news. This is in I'm being told from
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: What's that?
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: Because of those stories, you are now the fifty six
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: sexiest man.
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: You're not even on the list anymore.
• 8:29
  Speaker 7: Dang it.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: The worm story, I will say, it's of hosting both
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: shows for so many years. When we would shoot in
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: the mansion, you would think that maybe the guys would
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: be worse, but both shows were kind of the same.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: We shot in the mansion and they basically used the
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: main bathroom all of them, and when the when we
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: were shooting the bachelom it was all the bacherettes. It
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: took a hazmat crew to go in that bathroom when
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: you had twenty women all getting ready in that in
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: one bathroom. My god, it was horrifying in there. The
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: guys honestly weren't that bad.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: Well on by season there was a poop bandit.
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: One of my favorite things about Paradise is, thank you
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: one person likes that show.
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: That's kind of what it feels like. The ratings.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: We have one point two people, so we have tens
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: of fans.
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: Oh, it used to be good, so too soon.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: I'm still employed by them and relax.
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: So rose ceremonies are the meanest things in the world,
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: and especially when we film them in Mexico, it's so hot.
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: We decide to film the show in their monsoon season,
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: so it is it's June.
• 10:00
  Speaker 8: It is always don't forget crab season and also crab
• 10:04
  Speaker 8: season not the STD kind that too. I mean, maybe
• 10:09
  Speaker 8: I don't know. Things got weird in the Fantasy Suite.
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: But it's so hot there and all these girls put
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: on all this makeup because obviously they're gonna be on TV,
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: and they want to look their best, and you do
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: a roast ceremony. It takes you remember hours, right, you
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: have to stand there and you're doing all this stuff,
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: and I just remember I'm the bartender. So I'm like
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: looking like through the bar up into the thing and
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: all these girls make up it's just melching off their face.
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: And I remember thinking, this is so mean that they're
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: on national TV and they're melting.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: We By the way, since we're talking about ROAs ceremonies,
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: can we dispell some rumors you were the Bachelor? Can
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: we talk about how a rose ceremony works? Because everybody
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: wants to know because you're brilliant, But does the like
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: you can't remember seventeen girls' names in a row?
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: So how do they do it?
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: Are the names written on the roses? Do they tell
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: you in your ear? How do you do it?
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: It's a good question and it's probably the most common question.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: So every four people you kind of get to leave,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: and so they'll give you a list of six. You
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: go back and you're like, Okay, here's my order, here's
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: who I want to pick, and they say, here's the
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: order you're going to give it in?
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: Or what order do you want to give it in.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: Here's your next six.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: So you go back, especially on night one, you don't
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: nobody's names, like these are all strangers to you. So
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: you go back to this room, you remember six people's names,
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: go back out, say it, and then you say, I
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: just need a break.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: I just need a break, and you leave again. The
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: show doesn't tell you do this. If you want to.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Name all of them on your own, you could. There's
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: just no human in the world that would remember twenty
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: people's names all in one night. So you go back,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: you remember them, you go back out, and then you
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: step back again, and you do it about four times
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: until you get through the night. There's no names on
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: your hand, there's no names on the roses. It makes
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: sense that you can't remember everybody's name.
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: But we always felt and they said why did you
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: do that? The reason was we always felt there was
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: this line we never wanted to cross, even if Ben said,
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: this is who we wanted to keep. And the reason
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: we decide the order is it's just TV stuff. You
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: want to bounce from side to side so you don't
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: notice it, but to your eye it looks better on
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: TV when we're bouncing side to side. And so Ben
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: would say, this is who I want to keep, and
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: then we decide the order. The director a lot of
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: times will decide the order depending on where they're lined up.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: And the reason we didn't ever put a bug in
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: their ear or bride it on the roses or whatever.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: We always wanted that freedom of thought. We always wanted
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: Ben to have that freedom to say in the middle
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: of a roase ceremony, what's your name? Yeah, or call
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: out the wrong name hopefully, but no, to have the
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: to have a change of heart and say, you know what,
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: that's not what I want to do. And we always
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: felt if we were telling you Kelly A, Kelly B,
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: Kelly C a lot of Kelly's, uh, you know that
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: you could change your mind. And so we just never
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: crossed that line.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: I remember the second Rose ceremony, standing up there and
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: blanking because you're nervous.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're not a.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Trained professional, You're coming off of a cubicle job. You're
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: nervous in front of these beautiful people. And I remember
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: in the morning, it's four in the morning. I blanked
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: on names and I got lucky, but I remember got lucky.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: I remember having this like anxiety insidey came out there.
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: If you just say Lauren.
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: If you say Lauren, you're probably gonna do Okay.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: I want Kelly and Lauren. And that's how he got engaged.
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: Is there a Laura.
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: I believe there's a Lauren here one.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: This is true. I mean I was so nervous.
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: I was thinking about rose ceremonies, and I remember being
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: in that moment of waiting to get a rose, and
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: I remember figuring out if I was going to get
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: a rose or I wasn't going to get a rose
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: by what the cameras are doing. And I'll be like, man,
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: no cameras being pointed at me, I'm screwed. And then
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: all of a sudden it.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: Would be like right on me, like yes, it's my time.
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: Or it's like someone I didn't like so that they
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: knew that I would be upset that they got the
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: rose and I didn't. And it's a weird thing that
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: you can see, like the camera's pointing at you mean,
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: like this is my time.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: I get question obviously somebody like how scripted is it?
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: I would say it was never scripted. I I have
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: no memories of being told, hey, this is what you're
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: gonna do, and this is what you're gonna say. It
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: was a lot of let's talk this through.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: What do you want to do?
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Okay, here's probably the best way to do it. I
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: love this person, Caitlin Bristow.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: I think one of the best bachelorettes of all time.
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: She gets good TV.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: She was wild, absolutely wild, and she's one of my
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: I just think the world of her.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: But I was roommates. Here's a story.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: I was roommates with Sean Booth, who ended up, you know,
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: getting engaged with Caitlin, and it was a very real
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: and serious relationship. So we're in San Antonio, like week four,
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: and it's two in the morning and our hotel door
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: opens up and this cute little girl comes skipping in
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: and it's Caitlyn, who had snuck out of her room
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: away from the producers, into our shared bedroom and we're
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: both I just production loved this.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: By the way, Yeah, they had no clue. I was
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: so excited.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Sean was so excited, and we're like, hey, Kaitlyn, and
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: she just like hops into Sean's bed and I'm laying
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: in this cot At this time, we would rotate beds,
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: like at one location he would get the queen like
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: the main bed, I would get the sidebed. This one
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: I had the side bed, and so it made sense,
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: and I thought we were all going to stip in chat.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Very quickly I realized I was not invited to this party.
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: You weren't even the.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: Third one was.
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: I was like, you're in the fifth wheel.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: So here's how the night plays out, and I'll tell
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: it quickly. Nobody knows she's there. I realize I'm not invited.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: I go to the bathroom with a pillow and a
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: blanket and I lay on the floor in this bathroom.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: If you listen to her podcast, I share this story.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: She knows that I remember very clearly, and they spend
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: the night, or we all spend the night, whatever you
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: want to call it.
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: Gensus.
• 16:41
  Speaker 8: This is a weird threesome story, worst threesome ever.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: In the morning, the production comes to wake us up,
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: and she's still in our room. She jumps on the
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: floor and Sean takes his comforter and throws it off
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: the bed and covers her up, and they come in
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: and they're like, hey, it's time to get up.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: She's on the floor next to her bed.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Then she goes back to her room, nobody knows about this.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: For a week and a half, nobody says a word,
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: and then she tells her handler. I snuck into Ben
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: and Shawn's room, and they knew that I was not
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: that important, and so they come to me and they say, hey, Ben,
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: how are you feeling about all this?
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: That's awesome?
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, not great. I have a bear of site. I
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: don't think I have belong here any longer.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: And so Caitlyn I have this beautiful conversation that reconnected us.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: But that's something that was never shown. That was a
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: huge part of the story, especially my story, and I
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: think the show's story that I knew early on I
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: had a lot of work to do to catch up
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: to the person in the bed next to me.
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: Shall we open it up to questions?
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: I think so this is our favorite part, because what
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: do we really love to talk about?
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: It is whatever y'all would mean.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: As much as I want to talk about the poop band,
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: it's some pore.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: Please help us get away from that. So there's a
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: microphone in the back. If you have a question, jump
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: in line. Hi, you're there, give us your name and
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: fire away.
• 18:12
  Speaker 9: Hi.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: I'm Laurie, not Lauren.
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: I want to say hi to Ben and to Wells.
• 18:19
  Speaker 7: I think Bachelor is a great show and I love it.
• 18:23
  Speaker 10: So I want a contest to be here tonight.
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: Thank you very supportive.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: I love it girl relations.
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: But I did not get a meet and greet, so
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: I'm begging.
• 18:39
  Speaker 7: Is there any way I could get a picture fantasy
• 18:41
  Speaker 7: sweet with Ben?
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: Yes? Yes, yes, well the show ends with Ben taking
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: his shirt off.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: Just so you guys know, I'm asking.
• 18:48
  Speaker 10: For just a picture, not anything else.
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: We will make sure, we will make sure that happens.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, all right, thank you.
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: Rough first question didn't give us a lot of room
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: to go.
• 19:02
  Speaker 11: Hello.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: Hello, Mine's Grace.
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: Hey, Grace, so excited to be here. Everybody say Grace,
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: you get it?
• 19:09
  Speaker 11: Thank you.
• 19:10
  Speaker 10: Okay, So I know you guys all have a lot
• 19:13
  Speaker 10: of podcasts hosted guests.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: I've listened to him. We love him.
• 19:17
  Speaker 10: If you could pick a dream guest to interview on
• 19:20
  Speaker 10: a podcast, Bachelor or not, who would you pick?
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: Oo?
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, mine has unfortunately passed away, but Anthony Bourdain
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: is like my he's my dude.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: And I great memoir.
• 19:34
  Speaker 10: I read it.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all the stuff about him is incredible. Like
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: I still watch no reservations like weekly to go to bed,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: so like I would, he would always come to the
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: top of my list. I just wish there was a
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: moment I could meet him because I think he just
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: was like a rock star.
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, good answer, good answered, one good one.
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: Great show too. No one everybody's tried. It's like often imitated,
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: never equaled. Everybody's tried to do it. Show like that,
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna go around the world and nobody does it
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: like him. No one's a storyteller and honestly, no one's
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: a tortured soul like him. Because that went into it
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: that you could feel that through the show.
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: It was brilliant.
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: I would say, I'm a Texas boy, and so I
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: am a diehard Willie fan, and I think just sitting
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: down with Willie Nelson not a big smoker, but on
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: that night, I would be yeah, because I think when
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: in Rome, yes, smoke weed with Willie, that would be
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: that would be top.
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: Of my list.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: And then shaking the corner, you know.
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: Before I was on The Bachelor or Bachelor in Paradise,
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: I was a radio host for twelve years in Nashville,
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: so I interviewed everybody. So I have a lot of
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: like really cool stories of getting to meet my heroes.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: Willy wasn't one of them, unfortunately, but I did get
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: to smoke weed with never Mind.
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: That's an example of why we don't do drugs.
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: Yes, to be honest with you, I've done this one
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: and I stick by it. I've had my wife on
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: my shows multiple times and shut cheating such up.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, never mind interview my wife. It was kid rock. Okay,
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: it was at a karaoke bar whatever.
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: No, but yeah, like having my wife on is very fun,
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: and like hearing I was there at the end of
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: her run at Modern Family, and so I got to
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: experience everyone and meet everyone. But hearing the old stories
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: of like the beginning of that show is always very special.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: He's a good huss You know what's bizarre is.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: I was at ABC obviously for a long time.
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: I met Wells's wife.
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, probably like twelve years before they met.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: You both met her before I.
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: Did, and so yeah, so I was on the first
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: time I think was on the view and i'd taken
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: my daughter. I have this amazing picture of my young
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: daughter at the time. She's now twenty one. She's probably
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: like nine or ten at the time, and a very
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: young Sarah Hyland on the set of the View with
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: Barbara Walters. It's I always like once a year. I
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: always send it to Sarah.
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but the.
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: You know, the the question I get asked a lot
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: about my wife is like, how did we meet? And honestly,
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: it was because of Twitter, because she's part of vaccination
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: and her and her mom used to like watch the
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: show obsessively, and so her mom liked me, and weirdly enough,
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: I went on the after the final Rows and we
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: were talking about bad Chad, the guy who ate a
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: lot of protein and was on steroids, and I said
• 22:46
  Speaker 6: something to the effect of like, I don't want to
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: piggy him, because I was referencing Lord of the Flies.
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: I was like, I don't want to kind of gang
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: up on him. But then I was like, but I
• 22:54
  Speaker 6: do think we should talk about him. He's Valdemorre, like
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: he who cannot be named, And she tweeted out, I
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: like this guy. I didn't know people from The Bachelor
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: could read. And I was like, that's a really funny tweet.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: I like that.
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: Also, those are both books for like teenagers, So.
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: Thank you, Grace. What's your question?
• 23:19
  Speaker 11: Hi, I'm Jackie. Question is for Chris Harrison. If ABC
• 23:24
  Speaker 11: called you up and said we really want you, We'll
• 23:28
  Speaker 11: give you whatever you want.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: I want to ask for sol would you.
• 23:31
  Speaker 11: Do it and what would your demands be?
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: That Ben and Wells would be with me? Who should
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: have been the host in the first place?
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: But I digress.
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: They should they should have been the host.
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: The answer is no, but the very good reason.
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: Look, it was an amazing love affair for a long time,
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: and as someone who's now married for the second time,
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: I think you are with people, and people come into
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: your life for a.
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: Season for a reason, and that show was.
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: Wonderful to me and my family, I think for a season,
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: and I think to go back would be to try
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: to rekindle an old romance. That's that's gone. That season
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: in my life is gone. And so the answer would
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: be no, you know, for for no bitter reasons. Again,
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: I adore the show. I will always have fondness and
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: love in my heart for it, for the friendships I made,
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: for the people in front of the camera, behind the camera,
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: so many wonder I traveled the world, you know, I
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: had never really traveled much in my life. The way
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: I grew up and I had, you know, no business
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: being in Hollywood, but this show gave me the ability
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: to travel the world and see every corner of it
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: ten times over. So a lot of blessings came from it.
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: But to try to get back into that relationship, you know,
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't be there for the right.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: Reasons, thank you.
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: Well, let's be clear.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: The best host in a America, right.
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: But also how wells isn't hosting Paradise is beyond mea
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: has there ever been a bigger layup in television.
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: History at this He's made for the beach exactly.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: Someone's got to get him drunk.
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: I mean the chest hair just carefully coming out.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: Of the top of the shirt.
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: That's no accident, ladies.
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: I'll tell it behind the scenes story. There was a
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: season after your chest hair, Yes, and it is glorious.
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: There was a season that you were gone and we
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: were trying to figure out who was going to host it,
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: and I was. I was supposed to host the entire season,
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: but then at the end they brought in like David
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: Spade and a bunch of people. But what was supposed
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: to happen? It was supposed to be me and my
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: wife hosting the show. That would have been great, And
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: to me, that was the easiest home run and we
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: were and it like fell through, like didn't work. And
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: I'm so bummed because how fun would that have been
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: to get to work.
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: Slowly, just keep bringing people on from modern Family like
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: that O'Neil's Sophia.
• 26:28
  Speaker 10: Hi, I'm Samantha, Sam.
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: I want your you know know where? You can't call
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: her Sam? I can Sam and I go away with Sam?
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: Is it okay if I called you Sam, It's okay.
• 26:36
  Speaker 11: Thank you?
• 26:38
  Speaker 10: I want your real honest opinions on Taylor Frankie Paul
• 26:41
  Speaker 10: as the next bachelorette.
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: We'll defer, we will kick Wells has the guy who
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: still works for Disney.
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: I think it's a I think it's gonna be a
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: really good season. I do think that, Like if you
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: look at what Paradise was this last season, it was
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: a season of change and things the things needed to
• 27:02
  Speaker 6: change up. I think we rested on our laurels for
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: too long, and so I like the direction of where
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: Paradise is going, and I like the idea of bringing
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: in the really big star to inject that show with
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: a lot of star power. I'm interested to see the
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: guys that come on the show. I think that's gonna
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: be fun to watch. And then in turn, I'm very
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: excited to see the guys that she doesn't like come
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: to Paradise because I think that will be very fun.
• 27:38
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: I don't work for Disney, so I have nothing to lose.
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: I think the most interesting thing with this announcement of
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: her being the Bachelor is the fans response, and it
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: is split, right. I mean, there are some things that
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: we know about her past that were like, Hey, you're
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: still deserving of love. I still want you to find love,
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: but is this the best place to do it? Like,
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: is the Bachelorette really going to fit this narrative? And
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: how do we make it make sense that, like you
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: are authentically looking for your partner. We don't know that yet,
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: so I don't have a judgment on that, but I
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: think it's my question, it's a lot of people's questions,
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: is where do you go from here? And I think
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: it's the biggest question for the show, and it has
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: been for the last five years, is how do you
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: move forward with a fan base with this announcement. So
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: I'm intrigued at how they make this something successful and
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: sustainable because at this point, I don't know how you
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: make it sustainable when you when you announce her as
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: your bachelorette, when for years you've had your relatable common
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: human coming in with the pursuit of love and love,
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: only now you have a celebrity with a platform and
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: a following coming in. And I think, I honestly think
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: it could be a home run, but it could also
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: be a very very bad.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: Season for the show following it.
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: We will see, thank you.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: I think it's a question, though, do you think it
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: was a good move? Like, I mean, it's a it's
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: an exciting move. My wife is going to watch it
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: and she's never watched the show because she's like, I'm
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: intrigued to see the mess. But is it going to
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: be something long term as Bachelor Nation fans that you support?
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think that's a big question for the
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: fan base.
• 29:28
  Speaker 6: You Know something that I think is interesting about it
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: is you guys say it, and we say it on
• 29:33
  Speaker 6: the show a lot, and it's like being there for
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: the right reasons and.
• 29:35
  Speaker 9: Obviously yeah it's okay, And like, obviously she has a
• 29:45
  Speaker 9: huge platform because she has another television show.
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: So then I wonder if it's going to be a
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: thing amongst the guys. I don't know if this is
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: going to happen, but I could see it happening where
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: guys are going to be like, you're just here because
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: you want to be on another reality TV show with her,
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: You're not here for.
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: The right reasons.
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: I can see that being an issue already, and I
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: think that'll be fun TV to watch.
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: Thanks Sam, Thank you.
• 30:13
  Speaker 11: Hi.
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: I'm Pam.
• 30:15
  Speaker 7: So I've always wanted to know why on the first
• 30:18
  Speaker 7: night when everybody comes to the mansion, right, why is
• 30:24
  Speaker 7: it that there's always a bunch of girls who say
• 30:27
  Speaker 7: to each other, did you get any time with him?
• 30:29
  Speaker 7: Did you get time with them?
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 30:30
  Speaker 7: I guess you are shooting all night long? Is it
• 30:33
  Speaker 7: because the producers just pick and choose who they want
• 30:36
  Speaker 7: to talk to the bachelor or bachelorette or these girls
• 30:39
  Speaker 7: are just not brave enough to go and interrupt and
• 30:41
  Speaker 7: get time.
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: It's good questions that part.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: The Italian sisters like that one.
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: We are hanging out with them tonight, so that night
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: is It's not scripted, but it's very produced because it
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: has to be, because it's absolute mayhem. When we started
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: the show with twenty women. Then you got to twenty
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: five manageable and we could even finish it by sun up.
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: Then all of a sudden, we're like, well, let's go
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: to thirty let's go to thirty five. And all of
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: a sudden, we had no It was like, sky's a limit.
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: Whoever showed up off the street, you're on the show.
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: And so there were so many people and it takes
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: just logistically production wise, it takes a long time to
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: set those things up and to have those moments and
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: to prep everybody and to shoot those and.
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: So it just goes quickly. And then we got to
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: pull Ben and you got to sit Ben down and
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: have a post interview, and then you put them back
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: in and so it's just a long night and you
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: just don't have enough time to talk to everybody.
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: Which is a big bummer. When you get to bigger numbers,
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: you get less time. And it's just math at that point.
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: And even though we started going till eight, nine, ten
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: in the morning, the sun's up, you know, all of
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: a sudden, the roster it's like, well, screw it, suns up,
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: We're just doing it. And so we just got to
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: the point where you got to pull the plug.
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: And you got to move on. And not everybody's gonna
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: have that moment.
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: Sometimes you would do it with if he had even
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: a brief good in, if you had a good entrance,
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: and we knew Ben might keep this girl like that's enough, she's.
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: Gonna go on. We'll we'll figure it out week two.
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: And so those nights are difficult because you do have
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: to make some tough calls, and those are it's more producers.
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: You really don't have the opportunity to just come in
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: and steal them on your own. That's set up, and
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: they'll tell you, okay, wells, you're gonna get Jojo. You're
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: gonna pull her by the fireside, you're gonna sit over there, and.
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: That's when you go POLLR. There's not a lot of
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: spontaneity that night.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: And I mean I remember too, there isn't down time,
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: and so it really is like action packed, as Chris
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: was saying, there's it's not like I'm sitting out waiting
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: for an hour in a room and.
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: Nobody's getting to talk to me.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: That night is just conversation after conversation after conversation, as
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: much as you can get in and I do think
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: it doesn't lend well for the shire person who's maybe
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: more nervous because they won't get a chance because they
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: haven't jumped on it early or put their name in
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: the line. But he's completely right. It doesn't feel. It
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: didn't feel like to me like hey, somebody was getting
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: pushed aside. It was just some people don't get a chance.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: And it's ten in the morning. But and I don't
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: know if this is rare or not. I know for
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: a fact, I talked to every single person that came
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: in off the.
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: Limo in night one on my night.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: I think if you watch it back, nobody would say
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: I didn't get any time.
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: Some batchels are adamant about it, like you. I mean, honestly,
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: you're a good guy, and so some batchers are just
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: better than going.
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: I'm not going.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: She loves sleeping, you love it.
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: It's like every fifteen minutes, she's just gonna yell one
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: bottle of.
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, you're right.
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: Bizarre Heckler ever, the Wan Pablo Heckler. This is Wan
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: Pablo's niece and nephew. But so it's it's a weird night,
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: and honestly it's it's the one night. To me, that
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: felt the most produced, because it has to be. I
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: always relished the next So back in the olden times
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: when I used to do the show and it was
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: in black and white and it was on film, So
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: first of all, we never had a day off. We
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: would do night one and we never had a dark
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: and what's called a dark day. We would finish at
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: I don't know, four, five, six in the morning, and
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: the next date started at ten am. So I remember
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: I would go in and be like, all right, welcome
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: to the mansion.
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: Move in. We would do the move in.
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: Shoot, everyone's like, oh, jumping on the bed, popping champagne
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: and they had not slept at all, and I was like, okay,
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: group date, and we would read out the names. I
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: just everybody was like, please Jesus, please do not pick me,
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: do not pick me.
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: I do not want to go to Vegas today. I
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: just want to go to bed.
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: So finally, honestly, because of union rules, we had to
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: start taking a dark day and everybody would sleep the
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: next day. Then the following day I would say, okay,
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: let's move into the mansion.
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: And it got a lot better.
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: But early days we never had that break and you
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: would just roll right into it. But I was relish
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: getting into the dates because then it was a lot
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: more genuine and even if it was a group date,
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: all of a sudden, the backtor would start getting a
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: lot more genuine time with the ladies.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: People ask me this, and I'm trying to think. When
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: he's talking of questions, I could ask the hours, and
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: it is. It is a crazy gig. You start at
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: seven am with interviews and you're not done back to
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: your hotel room alone until one thirty two am in
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: the morning, and you're getting like six hours of sleep
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: at the most, and then you're waking up on camera again.
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: And I'm a big introvert, so by the time I
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: was done with this show, I was depleted.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: Like everything inside of me was like, stop having some
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: handler follow me around, stop having this talking.
• 36:00
  Speaker 6: Hey, everyone feel bad for Ben for having thirty of
• 36:03
  Speaker 6: the most beautiful women lusting after him.
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: I know, so tough.
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: So many Lawrens, Oh, so many Lawrens.
• 36:11
