• 1:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, Becca might be a little bit above us.

  Speaker 1: So I don't get I don't get it. You haven't
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: owned the People's Choice Award yet, she doesn't have its

  Speaker 1: And Tania has been talking about this spot that she
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: has for it in her new place for months now,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: so I'm just gonna have to hand it over. So
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: you are moving to Studio City, Tanya just moved to
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Studio City. You can't be too far away from So
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: what are you? What are you moving into? Why moving
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: are you leaving your sisters. I'm leaving. My sisters are
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: flying free on their own, little free birds. Are they
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: going to stay in the place that you have now? No? No, no,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: They're moving in with friends. Um I'm moving into a
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: town house. Um. Yeah, I'm really upgrading my life. Fancy
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: are you renting? I'm renting. Um, here's the thing I
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: want to buy eventually, but I didn't want to buy
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: somewhere that I've never lived before, So I'm renting in
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Studio City. See how I like it. Ben. We'll let
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: you talk when we're done talking here. But Jared and
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I are currently in like the grown up conversation of
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: like when we should buy? And this is like, wow,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: do you want here? Because that's the debate backa where
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: like if we're here for the next five years, doesn't
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: make sense to buy. That's that's a dilemma. We will
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: buy island one day. Yes, it's been the best thing
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I've ever done. I bought when I was twenty four,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: and it stretched me. I was poor, Like are you
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: to buy a house at somebody? That took a huge risk. Dever,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: though you know it's different, I mean it really is.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: It's so different down right, not a stepdown. It's different,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: it's a different pro it's a different commitment than buying
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: in l A. That's really true. Me buying in Denver
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: would be like buying a bathroom. And yeah, hey Becca,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: you've obviously and not to undersell, because I know you
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: would do this. You've been wildly successful, um and most
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: of the things you do. I was, as I was
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: sitting here in I knew you were coming on. I
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: wrote down here on my notes. Um. You obviously were
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: on two seasons of The Bachelor, one of which was
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: with me. UM. You've then left the show and really
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: had a very successful, um kind of career in the
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: influencer world, which I know that you did not expect,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: that you did not kind of pursue, but you really
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: had a couple of years there where you stayed in
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: that kind of world of social media and influence and
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: you traveled and did some awesome things and it worked
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: out really well. And then you transition to the podcasting
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: world and your personality really gets to shine, which I
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: think is personally and I'm sure Ash would agree, is
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: really You're obviously very beautiful, but your personality is the
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: best thing about you. You you are hilarious and funny
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: and witty. I want to know. Really, I'm most interested
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: in what has brought all that success, And I don't
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: want you to tell me it's not been successful, because
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: it really has been. UM. I think people I think
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: when you're on the show, people become like attached to
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: your story and your personality. You would agree, both of
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: you would agree, UM. And I think people wanted to
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: continue following to see what I did or do UM
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: And I think I just have. I think I figured out,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: um how to open up my life in a way
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: that kept people interested enough that I had stuff going
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: on to continue wanting to know what I was up to.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: And I think the podcast has added another element because
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: we brought Tanya on, so we gained her following from
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: the morning show. And so I think, I don't I mean,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: to be honest, there's how many how many people have
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: been on The Bachelor and Bachelor at Like, I don't
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: know why there was a certain success with with me
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: or with you know, there's a certain few that have had,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: like gotten to do a lot of stuff post Bachelor.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: There is something about you where you have the right
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: balance of just straight, beautiful and relatable. Thank you, Ash,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: I would say the same for you, thank you. It
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: is kind of wild and back and I want to
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: walk anybody out here listening, you know, I think they
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: see these seasons of life for these Bachelor and Bachelor
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: A characters. They kind of you come off the show
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: and you know you're there in love or or not.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: But then they see kind of the transitions. And I'm
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: getting experience that right now with Blake. Blake's out here
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: in Denver, and you know, he's getting ready to Colton's
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: shows about the air. He knows he and I just
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: had a conversation. He knows that his time kind of
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: maybe as the focal point of the rejects for lack
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: of a better term, is ending. Like he's he's about
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: He's gonna still be relevant. He's till people are gonna
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: still tal about him. He's gonna still get to do
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: cool things. But it's it's coming away quickly, you know.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: And so he's gonna enter into a new season. You've
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: gone through all of these seasons. Now, what has that
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: been like on you personally? Um? I guess I never,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: you know, I think I never. I try not to
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: take it all too seriously, like I always say, if
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I had to go back to a nine to five
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: job and that's what I had to do to you know,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: live comfortably and have you know, success in that way,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: I would be fine doing it because I was very
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: content in my life before The Bachelor, and it has
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: just elevated me in the sense of I've gotten to
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: do amazing things and experience things that I wouldn't have
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: gotten to do had I not been on the show.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: But I also was very happy and content in my
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: life before, So if I had to go back to that,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: I would be okay. And I've always kept that mentality
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: of like, Okay, this is limited and I can make
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: it what it is for as long as I can,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: but at some point, if it ends in this like
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: crazy world of you know, what the heck is going on, like,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: I would be okay with it. And so I think
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: I never held on I'm not held on so tightly
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: to this lifestyle that if if I had lost it,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: that I would be you know, depressed or anything. But
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: that's that comes from wisdom. And one of the parts
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: that that you have is wisdom. You're You've always connected,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: you know, men and women both have kind of leaned
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: on you for support advice. Where does that wisdom come
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: from then just a natural born gift, I would say, no.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: I think, you know, my parents raised me to be
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: very like content in how wherever I was in life.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: You know, whether it was in high school. I didn't
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: grow up with like I didn't have a lot. We
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: were like very middle class. It's not like I had
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: a ton of money to do whatever I wanted. I
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: was very you know, I worked hard in sports, and
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: I you know, had to make certain good grades. And
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: I think there was something that came with that of
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: like working hard and being content in where I was
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: in my life, no matter what that stage was. So
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: I really think it comes from my parents. My parents
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: both worked really hard and always had this humility that
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: I respected and I guess wanted to have as well.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I think I want to throw it to both of you.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: We obviously, uh you know, I get the privilege of
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: being around both of you quite a bit, especially when
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: I fly there to l A. As you know, we're
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: in this kind of tie in the world where it's
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: very women focused. You know that we are really trying
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: to promote equality amongst amongst both sexes, and so when
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: it comes to the show. Now we're gonna really start
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: the new season of The Bachelor. We just had the
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: women released. If you were to pour into any of
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: these new contestants, both of you, what kind of pressures
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: as a woman does a show put on you? Is
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: it anymore or less? Is it healthy or unhealthy? Can
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: you just for a second take some time to act
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: like I'm one of the new contestants and pour into
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: me a little bit and give them some advice. It's
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: really hard question you have advised on the top of
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: your head. Yeah, I mean, my my number one thing
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: would be It's so it's almost impossible to have all
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: of these opinions about your character thrown out you when
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: none of these people know. They get a glimpse into
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: your life, but they don't know you. And I think
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: what I've taken away from it is like if you
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: didn't have social media and didn't see whatever saying about you,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: you wouldn't know that anyone didn't like you. You know,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: like you only know that people don't like you because
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: you've opened yourself into this world where they can sit
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: behind the screen and tell you that they don't like you.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: And so I think it's like focus on what your
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: friends and your family and the people who truly know
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: who you are as a person think about you. Because
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: this show is edited, it is it's a it's amazing TV,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: but it's a it's such a small glimpse into these
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: individual people and personalities. And so I think it's just
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: focus on like the real world and don't because this
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: is all kind of like an escalated version of people.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: I just feel like, don't lose yourself, don't curate yourself.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: There's something about a lot of these girls are like
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: going into this and like I'm going to be an
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Instagram model, Like just be like yourself. And I think
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: that is why Becca has gotten as far as she has,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: because you've never been like You've just I don't know.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: There's just like a sense of realness and you can't
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: fake the realness. Well, I also and you can correct
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong, but I feel like, um, we
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: were lucky to have gone on The Bachelor when the
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: social media influencer stuff wasn't even like it didn't even
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: seem like I didn't even know that. I think it's
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: a whole different time today too. I always say that
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: I think Caitlin season ben Um was the last time
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: that people signed up for the show without having the
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: whole Instagram shebang to come along with it. Like when
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: we signed up for the show, there was like no
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: money in it, no, no, no, and usually like and
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: up until that point, there was basically like fifteen minutes
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: of fame. You know, you're famous for like maybe six months,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: you know, famous quote quote almost famous for like six
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: months after the show, but not not anywhere lasting really
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: unless you were a lead, possibly because there wasn't social
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: media to have people keep up with your life, so
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: when you were gone the show, you're pretty much gone.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: There's also no paradise really to keep you relevant for longer.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: It's a whole other ordeal. So I really I don't
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: even know if I can relate to these girls the
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: way that I related to us. I was, I was
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: prepping for the podcast today. I was going through all
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: the girls that are on Colton season, because you know,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: they've been announcing their social media out there now and
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: most of them have a following already. It's it's actually
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: kind of crazy if you go through the numbers of
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: people already following them or anywhere between ten thousand and
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: you know, I think twenty five THOU people. So these
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: these women are coming on already with you know, a platform,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: or they're already being followed. I don't have any of
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: my friends who have ten Thou followers. There's a couple
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: of girls that are you know there there's the pageant girls,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: the two of them, So that makes sense where they
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: would have a following. And I don't know about your
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: sister or your sisters, have you as like a bump
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: to get social media followings? But if you look at
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: high school kids today, Ben and like college kids, they
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: all have like pretty sizeable followings for some reason. They
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: like it's pretty normal for like a high school or
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: to like maybe have eight thousand followers the kids where
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: But yeah, that's the thing. Well, hey, um Becca, I
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: know you're busy. I know you've got to get going
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: here soon. Uh to last question? Two last questions here.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: One is how do you feel about the exit of
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: a Long Gale from the show? Do we know what happened?
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Does anyone? Does anyone know what happened? I mean, I
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: don't know if I really can want to like reveal
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: like what we talked about, but it's like just you know,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: he was ready to move on. Yeah. I always kind
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: of thought, you know, and this is just my personal opinion,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: because I thought a Lan was a very into integral
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: in integral part, integral part of the Bachelor and how
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: it is so genius mhm, because he is a very
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: smart man. Um. But I kind of always, especially in
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: the last couple of years, when I talked to him,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: I kind of just felt and I don't talked to
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: him that often, but it felt like he was ready
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: to move on. Oh yeah, I think he's been ready
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: for a while. So he's not doing paradise or anything.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: I feel like he has been ready. He's been saying
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: like I think this is gonna be my last year.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: I think this is gonna be my last year for
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: like the past two years. Okay, so good. I mean,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: I'm happy for I feel like he's in a good
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: place personally, so I feel I'm interested to see what
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Dirk's in the show goes, because I really do feel
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: like he's an important part of making that show what
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: it is. I think it's so crazy to think about
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: how the show is going to be because maybe it's
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: just when I started watching. I mean, this totally can
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: just be a personal perspective, But I feel like the
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: show bumped up again, Like it went from being an
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: insane show early in the two thousands, and then it
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: died off for a little bit, not necessarily in ratings,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: but I think in chatter, and then it became more
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: of like a tabloid front cover once a loon started
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: working on it ten years ago. I really think he
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: reamped it in some way. But maybe that's me being
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: a teacher's patent that I love him. Yeah, yeah, I
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: mean here's if anybody out there listening along. Gail was
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: the executive producer of the Bachelor for the last I
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: don't know seven years, um, eight years now. He's been
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: a part of every season. Yeah, so he has been
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: around for a while. Um, he's led this show in
• 15:24

  Speaker 1: know what? As you say that, you know what, maybe

• 24:09
  Speaker 1: I don't I try anymore. Um, stuff like last Boston
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: really helps because I remember there's a time my life
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: where I used to go home for the holidays and
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: it was so difficult to find any way to get
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: the TV to work. It would take us hours to
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: try to watch these things back and then all the
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: photos would be gone and they'd be disorganized. Um that
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: we just ended up stopping. I haven't done it in years,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: and it would be nice too. There's some really good
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: stuff on there, especially you know, as I was a child,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: I'd love to see back. So yes, actually I do
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: have that same experience and maybe even a little sadder story. Yeah,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: that's very sad. And another thing that's really cool about
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Legacy Box, and like the ad is totally done here.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: I'm just telling you guys, Um, you know how people
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: will be like, do you have a picture of you
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: when you were a teenager? Do you have a picture
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: when you were like a preteen? And you're like, not really,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: it's in the photo albums at home, and you can
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: kind of just you know, do Legacy Box put the
• 25:01

• 25:09
  Speaker 1: it's not sad what ben love. Love is not sad,
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: especially fifteen years of love. Our next guest is one
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: of Bachelor Nation's favorite, if not favorite bachelorette. She is
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: the leader of the chart she has started the revolution.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: She has been married and loved for fifteen years, and
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: we just wanted to bring her on the almost famous
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: podcast to say, congratulate freaking nations. Trista, are you out
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: there fifteen years? How often do you like to wave
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: that in the face of all of the Bachelor Nay says, oh,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: you know, it's funny because we got a text from
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: one of our friends and he said congratulations, and he
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: wrote another text as he said, you know, I hesitated
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: to send that because saying congratulations means that you maybe
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: that people thought that you couldn't do that, like maybe
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: you accomplished something that was unheard of. And then he
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: wrote back again and he's like, no, it's okay. It
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: was something that you should be proud of whatever. And
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: I feel like Brian and I obviously didn't. I didn't
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: do it so that we to get actually been calling
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: me and saying congratulations on fifteen years. You know what
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like we we obviously are in love and
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: it's all real and true and it's our life. So
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: I do appreciate the congratulations. It's very sweet. I used
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: to think of me and to put me um on
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: your speed dials for your podcast. But um, but yeah,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: it's just it's just what it is. So it's it's
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: all good. I love a part of that colnation. Doesn't
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: feel like fifteen years because I didn't know you fifteen
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: years ago, But it doesn't feel like fifteen years since
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: you were on the cover of all those magazines in
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: your wedding dress, right. No, I mean it does so
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: like fifteen years at times, but it has flown by
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: really really fast, especially because we have two crazy active
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: kids in our lives, and um, we follow them around everywhere.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: And if you think life moves passed before you have kids,
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: just hold on tight and get ready. Um. But yeah,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: I I there are times when I feel like it's
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: been fifteen years when we're like just kind of the
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: daily grind. But most of the time it flies by
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: because we're having a really good time. We have a
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: good life, you know, just you. I want to go
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: back a little bit too. Well, you said at the beginning,
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: when you said when you did this whole thing, it
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: didn't you didn't do it. So people congratulate you on
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: you know, fifteen years. At what point in this whole
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: experience did a did a relationship with Ryan go from
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: just hey, this is a really fun kind of thing
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: that we're doing too, I want to marry this person.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: I think you and Ashley both kind of have that
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: in common where all of a sudden switched from being
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: about a show to know this is going to change
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: my life forever. Well, for me, the switch happened when
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: I got asked to be that threat. So I did
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: The Bachelor just for fun and to get out of
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: the rut I was in in Miami. I just wasn't
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: happy in my life back then, and and I saw
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: extra was advertise like they had the casting director who
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: actually still um helps out with the show, which is
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: kind of crazy, but um, you know, I applied for
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: that show thinking, oh, this will be fun. I can
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: travel and meet some people and go to l A
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: and whatever. And you didn't even know it was going
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: to be a successful show. Oh so so I had
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: no idea what it was gonna be. No one did
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: at that time, Like really, we we just went into it.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: The people the cast went into it thinking, oh, we can,
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: like I said, travel and meet people and have a
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: have a good time. And then I did develop serious
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: feelings for Alic, which looking back on it, I'm sure
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: I was just caught up in it because we definitely
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: were not meant to be. But when they asked me
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: to be back to Thrette, when Life called me and said, hey,
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: what would you think of this? Um I, that's when
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: it changed for me. Then I think that I became
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: really serious when, um when I signed up to be
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: about Tourette and I thought, oh my, I mean BABC
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: is going to be searching for guys for me. This
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: is pretty crazy and I need to really get serious
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: about this. And I was all in it for just
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: to find Ryan and thank god he was there. Um
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: I I because of what happened to me, I'm as bachelor,
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: which was I got down to the final two and
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: like the night before, two nights before, he told me
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: he was going to pick me. I might have even
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: said this on the last podcast you guys had me on,
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: but um he said he was gonna pick me. He
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: didn't pick me, obviously, And because of that, I went
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: into the Bachelorette really um cautious. I didn't want to
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: get anyone pokes up until I knew for sure, and
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: I kept thinking in the back of my mind things
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: could change, because things could change. Things could change fully,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: you know, six weeks at that time. Um, and so
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: I didn't really fully invest in him until a lot
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: later on. I think Seattle on Our Overnight was when
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: I fully invested because I couldn't stop thinking about him
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: even when I was on dates with other people. That's awesome,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: that's so crazy. Um, did you ever think in that
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: fantasy suite we're gonna be married fifteen years from now,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: be the poster children for success on the show, and
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: you'll always be associated with success on the show. I
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: think because you were the first, you set the president. Um.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Oh gosh. I never would have imagined, first of all,
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: that The Bachelor would still exist. Um. Know, that's a
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: great point. No never ever would have thought. I mean,
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: it was way in its sympathy, and no one could
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: have known what would happen with reality television. I mean
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: I remember sitting on a panel and they were they
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: were talking about how reality TV was a sad I
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: feel like Mark Burnett was part of it and twice
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: and whatever. Anyway, it was a fat back then. You know,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: people thought it was going to disappear, and clearly it
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: did not disappear. It has taken over our television screens,
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: and Um, I think it's great. I mean, I I
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: am fully engaged with all of the shows. I love
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: watching all the shows. I love supporting everyone who comes
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: on the show, whether it be Bachelor About for right,
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: had our Bachelor in Paradise, for Rachel with Pat, or
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: Olympic Games or whatever, for our weddings or whatever. Congratulations,
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: I think, Um, but I'm you know, I I love
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: all of it, and I feel really really thankful that
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: I get to be um part of it. It's really cool.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: I just have one last comment and then Ben, you
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: want to wrap this thing up. He remember, the last
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: time we talked in depth was in May, and you're
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: telling me that for the first time, Ryan was switching careers.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: He Um, is, you're tired from the fire department, and
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: how's that going. It's good? Um, thank you for asking
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: and remembering. Um. She you know, he has this ups
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: and down. She newly loved working for the fire service.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: It filled him like he loves being able to help people.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, one of his favorite things in life is
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: when he sees someone on the side of the road.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: He loves to pull them out of a ditch with
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: his big old truck. You know, like he just loves
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: to help people. And he did that for seventeen years,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: and it took its toll on his body, on his mind,
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: on his spirit. I mean there is a thing called
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: post traumat it's some kind of post traumatic stress for
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: emergency service workers. And he definitely, I feel like, experienced
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: that in that it was stressful. You know, he saw death,
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: he saw suicide, he saw um all ages, babies, older people, Uh,
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: really really really difficult things to deal with. And he
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: did it for seventeen years. So from a wife's perspective,
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: you want your husband to be um, safe and thriving,
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: of course, but not at the detriment of his spirit
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: or his mind. Um, he was like short tempered. He uh,
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: he just wasn't happy for a really long time. And
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: now he's finding his place. He worked for a company
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: called Bail Custom Builders, and so then hey, if you
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: ever want to build a house, you know up in
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: the mountains, only a couple hours away. You know, he's
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: working with real custom builders. And not that he's like
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: a builder. Um. Sometimes he helps out on site, but
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: he's kind of more like marketing business development. Um, he's
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: finding his way. He's an evolving job. Um. But I
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: love having him here at nighttime. We get to have
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: dinner together as a family. He gets to coach Max's
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: hockey team. And let me say, your hand, your son
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: is but very handsome. Boy? Is that a creepy comment.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: My sister and I were in all of his hair yesterday.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: You've got the best hair on my kid. I can't
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: believe it. But no, he is very handsome. Thank you.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: He Um, he can coach now, you know. He can
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: be at all of his hockey games. He can be
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: at all of Blake Pleased recitals, all her performances. So
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: I just selfishly, I am so thankful that he made
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: the leap. And it's hard day to day he has
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: to deal with a lot of different personalities. But um, overall,
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: I think it was a really good move. So thanks cracking.
• 35:46

• 35:49

  Speaker 1: important to get a good night's sleep when you're in bed, Ben,

• 44:52
  Speaker 1: hasn't said a word. Why Halen before you move on? Why? Um? Well,
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: I know that she has a really deep story, and
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: I interviewed Chris Harrison last week for Access and he
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: says that her deep story reveals ends up revealing a
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: lot about him. So I feel like they have an
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: intimate bond. Ben, I don't I like where you're going
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: with that. I've heard that is that you know these
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: that Colton and Kylin kind of connected right away. I
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: think we talked about that is there's a bigger story
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: here than anything we've ever heard, and that's why we're
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: gonna fall in love with Colton during the season. Um,
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: I've got to go with Cassie. I feel like Cassie
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: has been one of those that the show is promoted already.
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: I feel like she is absolutely beautiful. Um. I think
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: Cassie is my second pick. Well. I like about Cassie's
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: picture is that I've never seen a more relaxed uh
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: bio pick before. She's just chilling. I like the way
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: they change the background to gray. Everybody looks so much better. Yeah,
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: what they can wind that or there? Okay, Catty has followers.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: That's a big that's a big following. That's why she's relaxed.
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: She knows what she's up to. She's gonna do this well.
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: She's also a true Californian. She grew up at the
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: beach and is an avid surfer, and she is a
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: grad student getting a degree in speech pathology, hoping to
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: work with kids one day. Ashley, with your second pick,
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: with my second pick, I'm gonna go with Bree. You
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: know I like Breathe. Isn't okay to pick the same,
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: Is it okay to overlap? Well? Oh, crapola? Because I
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: wanted to pick Cassie too, she was starred for me.
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: Oh well, okay, Well I picked Bree. Then the Lauren
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: Bushnell look alike. You know what, she is beautiful. We
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: gotta we gotta give them both both. Lauren Ambree are
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: very very very beautiful people. So I get why, um
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: a little bit about Bree here. Breathe a model from
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: south southern California. Bree is much more than just a
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: pretty face, though she played soccer for eight years, enjoys
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: hiking and camping, and loves to hit the snowboard slopes.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: Her biggest dating fear, you ask, farting too loudly. Not
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: just farting, but farting too loudly. Don't worry, breathe. It's
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: really less about this the sound, and way more about
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: the smell. I don't know, Ash, I might disagree, okay
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: with my second pick. All these women are really beautiful.
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: I think that I'm going to go with Hannah. Then
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: that was my other I'm sorry, she's she's really pretty.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: She's a content creator from Birmingham, Alabama, the one that's
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: in it for the wrongest the wrongest of reasons, based
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: on the bios content creator. Come on, Okay, so this
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: sweet Southern belt definitely isn't camera shy. She's both the
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: photographer and model for her burgeoning social media business. Apart
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: from planning the photo shoots for her next post, Hannah
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: enjoys being a foodie and glamping. Hopefully Colton likes what
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: you're putting down. Can we talk about something here? Yeah? Please?
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: I need to read this quote which makes me very weary. Um.
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: She posted on Instagram. Capted in August about her journey
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: into modeling influencing, she says, I don't consider myself to
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: be a so called model. I consider myself to be
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: Hannah who happens to have a creative aspect of social
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: media and modeling in general. That's a direct quote. I
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: like my next, I like my pick um. You know,
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: the world of influencing isn't one that is gonna last forever.
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: I'm I don't know if I've ever heard a more
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: direct bio from from the back their franchise. Yeah, I'm
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: more honest, all right. I think Hannah By is gonna
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: be around for a while, so I'm gonna say Hannah By.
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: But I also think that Hannah By might be the villain.
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: I have a little insights the the pageant girls. That
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: is Kaylin, she's the current reigning two thousand eighteen Miss
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: North Carolina, and Hannah By, the reigning Miss Alabama two
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: thousand eighteen. They get into it. I'm not sure whether
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: they're okay. They're either going to be really good friends
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: because they've been around the pageant circuit together, or they're
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: not gonna be really good friends. They're gonna have like
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: a rivalry out for each other, but Harrison said the
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: other day there's something between the two of them. It'll
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: be a storyline. I also am very confused, so I'm
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: thinking like in this perhaps rivalry. This is me just
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: like making things up the top of my head. I
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: feel like Hannah By would be the villain because Klin
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: seems sweet. But I guess there's nothing that says a
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: Hannah Bee isn't sweet yet. But she just has a
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: more villainous look about her on a bad way, like
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: a sexy way. Yeah, let's read Uh so she as
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: you said. She's form Miss Alabama two eighteen. Born and
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: raised in Tuscaloose, Alabama, Hannah was bred to be proud
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: member of the Alabama Crimson Tide following and her parents footsteps.
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: By the way, just a side note, there's nobody that
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: loves their team more in Alabama. She recently graduated from
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: the University of Alabama with a degree in communications. She
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: currently works as an interior designer and never misses an
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: Alabama football game. See I told you they love their
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: football so much. Oh in her spare time. This year,
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: she won the title of Miss Alabama USA two roll
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: tied Hannah. Hannah by Ashley's final choice. That's my final choice.
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: I'm totally making things up here, you guys. I did
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: not write any spoilers. I'm just making assumptions and I'm
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: saying them out loud. I'm also trying to come up
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: with content to make this interesting when really we have
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: no idea what role anyone's gonna play. I do. I
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: am very interested in the fact that they have two
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: pageant girls here from Miss USA because you want to
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: hear a very embarrassed. It's an embarrassing but do you
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: want to hear a story then yeah, I love stories.
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: So the August before I was castid officially on The Bachelor,
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: I guess it was like two weeks before I was
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: officially cast on The Bachelor, I did a preliminary Miss
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: us A round in Virginia because I was I am
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: always obsessed with Olivia Colbo and I was like, I
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: just want to be like Olivia. So I did a
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: preliminary Miss USA round in Virginia. And they say in
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: the contract you can't really pursue anything like TV, and
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: you especially can't pursue anything outside and be see Universal
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: because that is where Miss USA aired. At the time.
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure where it airs now or I think
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: it's still NBC. Does anybody know this for sure? You
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: want to look that up. I'm pretty sure that NBC
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: still still airs Miss USA, and it said you can't
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: do anything outside of that network. I think it's now
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: on Fox. Oh, it's now on Fox. So maybe they
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: have different contractual requirements allowing these two girls to do it. Actually,
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: ready for my last pick. It's Tasa Tasia. Yeah, she's
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: got the smile, she's got the look. I like her
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: profile a lot, like a ton except I don't know
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: what her career is. I don't even know what that is.
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: A flip bottomist actually, Okay, um, so I had to
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: learn this before when I did the interview with Harrison
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: a couple of days ago. That is somebody who draws
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: your blood and like t brings it to testing. Makes sense? Okay,
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: Well here's the al. Tasia, the southern California girl is
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: definitely not the squeamish type. Well, this would have helped.
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: She draws blood for a living. When she's not filling
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: up vials for her patients, she volunteers at her church
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: and goes wine tasting. Okay, Tassia if you don't end
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: up with Colton. I like wine tasting and I love Jesus,
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: so just let me know. Unlike her patients, Tasha hopes
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: Colton feels faint when he sees here. Tassia is my
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: final pick. I like her. I'm pretty proud of my picks.
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: I like Colton's group of women I see. I don't know.
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: I think the six that we chose are really the
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: ones that I think are gonna buy for Colton's heart.
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: All I know is from watching these UM the promos,
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: somebody out there crushes that dude, like destroys him on
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: this season, and whoever it is, I ain't about um.
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: What's what's your dirt? Okay? So I asked Harrison the
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: other day if him jumping over the fence was just
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: something stupid, like you know, we've been joking. He like,
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: probably lost his tie and left on the other side
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: of the fence, and he was like, oh, one second,
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: just gotta quickly to go on the other side of
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: the fence. He said, no, he was really trying to
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: run away from Harrison. When Harrison was trying to give
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: him a dad talk, oh talk, he said, not a
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: friend talk. A fatherly talk. Oh what does that mean?
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I think we're in fourth this year.
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: Ash I think this season of The Bachelor is going
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: to be one that nobody wants to miss. And we
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: already here's the thing, because we already have drama coming
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: into the play here. There's a story that was released
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: this week, and it's one that it seems to be
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: a common threat on any season of The Bachelor so far. Tracy,
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say your last name here. Shipaf has some
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: mean tweet tweets out there that have became public at
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: this point, one of which she's bashing the Bachelor franchise because,
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: in her opinion, who would go on this show to
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: try to find love? Ashley, what's your take? That was
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: a bad tweet? I can't I can't do. I can't
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: say anything except for the fact that she's obviously she
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: doesn't think it's really going to happen for from the show,
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: and she's definitely there for the wrong reasons. And those
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: are some gnarly tweets. I mean, we've all said stupid
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: things on Twitter. But here's my take. Here's my tweet take.
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: There's so many times in life there's so many times
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: in life that we say something, or we stand firm
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: on something, or we do something, and we we we
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: seem to be stuck in our ways and we look back.
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, how many times does this happen everybody in
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: the studio here. Well, you then look back ten years later,
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: and you've grown, or you've changed your minds, has your
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: mind has opened up a little bit to something new.
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: So what I'm saying is be careful the stances you
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: take in life now, the things that you feel so
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: secure about, and the things that you just hold on
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: is absolute truth, because later on you could get mud
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: thrown right back in your face. Just like Tracy that.
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, these are huge tweets. She is now on
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: this show. She didn't just continue to watch the show.
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: She's not just a commoner and a fan of the show. No,
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: she chose to go on the show. My second point here, Okay,
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: this is the point that maybe creeps me out the most.
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: How in the world did they find these tweets? Who
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: was out there using so much of their time to
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: go through every cast member on the Bachelor franchise to
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: find tweets eight years ago? Was the eight years ago?
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: Eight years ago? Not a quiet tweets. She tweets often. Um,
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: if people I really don't want people to go back,
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: but if they were, they would find the most embarrassing
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: Jonas Brollar tweets ever. Oh, they would be just there
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: seventy all about the Jonas brothers, and they probably make
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: it seem like I don't even know, like I'm friends
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: with them or something. That's what sounds gonna sound like.
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be like so and so waved to us
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: and they love us. It's gonna be like the most
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: immature sounding thing ever. And now that I'm telling of
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: people this, They're definitely gonna go back at years. Um,
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: let me just say one thing, as um an advice giver.
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: If I had to go back and give myself advice,
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: whether that was eight years ago on Twitter or four
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: years ago on Twitter, or today on Twitter, I would say,
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: don't put anything out there that you would just say
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: in the privacy of your own home or to your
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: best friends. Only put on Twitter things that you'd be
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: fine saying in front of an open general audience. Because
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: that's what Twitter is is a public platform. I'm I'm
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: gonna encourage any listener out there if you can go
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: back and find some of these tweets that actually you're
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: talking about UM videocast make sure that happens. So please
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: go back, find these tweets, copy and paste them. Sending
• 57:50

• 59:41
  Speaker 1: finish out another great episode, one of our final episodes
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: of the offseason. I mean, this is getting absolutely wild
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: that We're already about to start the Bachelor over once again.
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: Today was a big episode with Trista on it. We
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: went through Colton's women, who we think are absolutely great,
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: but we judge them critically because that's what we do best.
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: And finally, we have a rumor that it doesn't really
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: feel like a rumor to me. Sometimes on this podcast,
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: we're bringing up things that I'm like, yeah, no way,
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: this happened, right. I mean, for example, we'll start with
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: one uh that we've researched very very critically, and that
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: is the Sean Booth rumor. Has he moved on already
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: because he was spotted with Charlie Arnault? I don't want
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: to say her name right, Um out in public? Are
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: they dating? Are they not? They? I don't think they are.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: Actually from a very viable source, I think they were
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: spotted together at a at a gym, at a workout.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: You know, there was a bunch of people there, and
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: then afterwards maybe they hung out one Well, here's a
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: here's a deal, Sean single. Um, from all sources, nothing happened. Um.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, actually, in your opinion, is it too quickly?
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: How quickly is too quick to even hang out or
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: talk to somebody new after a major breakup. I think
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: it really has to based on the person because some
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: people they do well with having a quick rebound and
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: then some people really need to let it digest for
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: a while. It depends on your personality. I agree, Yeah,
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: you can't. You know, we can't blame anybody once they're
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: officially single. I mean, yeah, you know, you want your
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: heart to heal. We wish best for anybody. But if
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: you want to talk to somebody, that's then okay. I
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: have nothing against it. If you know, Sean starts talking
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: to somebody or Caitlin starts talking to somebody, it doesn't
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: matter the timing. It just matters the respect and they
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: give each other. I think that's an important key moment
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: here is how are you gonna slam another person's face?
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: Are you not? I hope they don't. I don't think
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: they will. Um So, through all of this, it's just
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: weird still to me that we're talking Sean and somebody
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: else or Caitlin and somebody else and it's not Caitlin
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: and Sean together. That still hurts my heart a little
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: bit that they're not together. It's sad, uh and I
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: don't know how to process that. That's what's weird to
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: me here. It's so sad. I know it's so weird.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: I wonder if we get Sewn on the podcast here,
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: maybe even next week, to talk about some of these
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure he doesn't want these things flowing around.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: I'm sure he has a lot to share and tell,
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: and you know, we know Sean he'll be respectful. Let's
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: try to reach out to and see if'm you're on
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: the podcast. That would be awesome. If you feel like
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: you can do that. I think that's up to Sean,
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: but we want to throw their offer out there. It's
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: always good to make sure that the truth is present,
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: so we tat to Sean seople get them on. If
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: we do, make sure you tune in next week to
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: Almost Famous podcast to see if Sean Booth happens to
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: join us. Another couple, Yeah, I was gonna say, we
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: also need to get one of these two on the line.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: Bibiana and and Bibiana, what do you think, I don't
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: just think. I know she had a super big crush
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: on him going into Winter Games. She was so disappointed
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: that he wasn't going to be there. She was he
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: was the one and only she was looking forward to
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: seeing there. And now they've been spotted out of Miami
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: Heat game and E News is reporting that they are
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: casual le seeing each other, and of course it is
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: a long distance and um, we need to get one
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: of them on here to confirm what's actually going on.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: But I'm really are because like dreams coming true, and
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: you know what they're both like. They're both very sexy
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: like they both are very like sensual. They're both um,
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: you know, people that we know and that we both
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: really appreciate. They make a striking couple. I mean a
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: striking and very athletically inclined. They love the gym. Yeah,
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: so Bibiana and Peter Cross, we cannot confirm or deny,
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: but we're going to make sure that we get answers
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: next week because I just saw this rumor today, because
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: we're prepping for the podcast. Uh so next week is
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: gonna be a let's call it the Rumor Busting Podcast.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, we're gonna talk rumors, We're gonna get some answers,
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: and and finally close out the podcast, we want to
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: take one email from one of our listeners. This email
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: comes from Caitlin I just listened to the last week's
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: podcast where you talked about Aaron and Jordan Rodgers and
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: the Rogers family, and I felt compelled to write and
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: defend the Rogers family. I live in Chico and just
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: down the road from Ed and Darla Rogers, the whole
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: Rogers family hometown. I have known their family for over
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: fifteen years and can, with all honesty tell you that
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: the Rogers family are some of the kindest, good hearted,
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: godly people I know. They have raised boys, their boys well.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: The estrangement that is occurring is all by choice of Aaron.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: The parents have done nothing to cause it whatsoever. He
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: has chosen to live his life differently and separately from them.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: Darla Rodgers is truly one of the sweetest women I know.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: The Rogers family continues to be in the headlines. It
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: feels weird. It feels odd. I don't get why or
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: how the Rogers family snuck him to bats our nation,
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: but they have Jerk. A press conference this week, Aaron
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: said that he said something along the lines of I
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: was out, I was away visiting my folks, and people
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: have been chattering about that, whether they're trying to reconcile
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: or whether that quote was just a little bit confusing,
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: like folks are folks definitely his parents or was he
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: visiting folks? You know, good point. I don't even think
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: about it. I hope they're reconciling. It feels weird to
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: me that this this family drama. You know, at times

  Speaker 1: and on this podcast, you know, we can talk about
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: things that are are rumors or things that maybe come
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: off a little more critical, and that's part of this
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: whole thing. We've opened ourselves, our lives up to the
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: public um and we want to make sure to get

• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: that it was on TV, that it comes back through
• 1:05:43

• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: in magazines. It's family drama that we should leave fit. So, Caitlin,
