  Speaker 1: at the ending of the season. It is next is tomorrow,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: but you know what I mean, they're here last week
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: and it's so mind boggling that it's been an entire
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: season weeks. Guys, it's been eleven weeks since we saw you.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: It's crazy. Time flies when we're having fun apparently, I mean,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: do you have an aged a bit? Actually? Are you?
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: I'm thirty in two weeks, Garrett, and I'm thirty one now. Wow.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: So to start this season out with Almost Famous Podcast,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: we had Easton travel all the way from Los Angeles
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: to Park City to set up a mobile studio, which
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: we've done a couple of times this season. We brought
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: in Becca and Garrett and Ashley and I were already
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: there for our the watch party, and we pulled off
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: a great episode in Park City. I thought it was
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: so much fun. It's definitely one of my favorites. But
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: now worth In and I have to tease this. Actually,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: this is big for us. We have Tasia in the
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: building tonight as well from Polton season of The Bachelor.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I shall be coming up about twenty minutes. Believe in
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: our show is like popular enough to have like one
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: of the biggest stars from the season on it. The
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: second basically she gets off stage at after the final Rose.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Tonight was considered after the final Rose, sort of kind
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: of right part one, there wasn't really part one. Is
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: there really going to be a final Rose? That's my question.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm on it, I know I'm back.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: I'm back tomorrow night for another show. Really, Oh yeah,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: so I guess there is. You're on your on Tomorrow Live,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: on Tomorrow Live. So I guess there's another final Rose, Like, yeah,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: there's another final Rose live taping. But is there going
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: to be like a rose presentation at the end of
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: all this, Well, let's ask our guests Becca and Garrett.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: You were there tonight, Garrett famously, I think this would
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: be famous set up on the panel. I don't know
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: if you saw this actually, and this guy, I'm telling
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: you he assault of the Earth, and so I feel
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: like I want to pick on him because he's so lovable.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: But he's sitting up there and his belly button is
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: popping through his shirt. Oh yeah, I'm sitting right across
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: him down. So make sure you go back. If you're listening,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: make sure you go back and watch it. Garrett has
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: a very beautiful belly button. It looks very like clean shaven.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: It's very clean. Yeah, because I gotta ad hernia surgery.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: No no, no, So I got an awesome scar under
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: the belly button, and I'm like, hey, why can't I
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: just show it off like TV? It was finally his moment.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: That's hilarious. What Jason said tonight really resonated with me
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: when he was like, sometimes you just have to chase someone.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: You just have to just kind of do everything you
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: possibly can to get the person. And if at the
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: end of all that that doesn't work out, that's one thing.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: But if you leave it with any what IF's, like
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: what if I tried that, what if I did that?
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Then you're just gonna be wondering about it for the
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: rest of your life. So it's best. I think in
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: the situation that Colton does go back to Cassie and
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: kind of just begs for more time with her. So
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: what I mean, Beck and Garrett as we brought up
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and is actually just brought up. We don't know what
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: happens next. So let's assume that he goes back to Cassie, right,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: we kind of ended episodes. Assuming that he goes back
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: to Cassie, what does this look like? Is there a
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: final Rosmart night? Is there in an engagement? Is are
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: they engaged now? Like? What do you both think happens?
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I well, let me first start by saying I agree
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: with Jason, there's not even in a relationship and in
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: other things in life, you have two at points, exhaust
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: yourself to get an answer, because like you said, Ashley,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: or like Jason said, you're always going to have the
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: what if. So if you don't get to that point,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: you're still going to have regrets. So I think in
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Colton's case, like he of course loves this girl, he
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: wants to go after her, he wants to do all
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: he can to make it work, and and if it's
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: a no at the end of it, we'll find out tomorrow. Um,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: then at least he has an answer because he, like I,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I can kind of put myself in his shoes to
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: be like God, like, what if I didn't try that,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: What if I didn't put all of my effort into this? Um.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: I think, just from what I saw play out so far, UM,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: a relationship is a two road street, and so you
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: both have to be on the same page and communicate
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: well to figure out what the next step is, whether
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: it's to break up, whether it's to keep going, And
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: so from what I saw, I feel like it's kind
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: of leaning towards not the best outcome for Coulton. UM.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: But again I can't fault him for trying, and it
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: just is kind of up to both of them. I
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: think it's up to Cassie to be articulate and to
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: be able to explain why if she wants to break up,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: why she wants to do that, because I think it
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: left a lot of you worse wondering. And then I
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: think it's up to him to accept that and move
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: on and be okay with that or you know, Yeah,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: as far as what we've seen over the past couple
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: of weeks, I think it has she's just got that
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: into him like written over everything. But it's just like
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: the last thing I can say, because after in Paradise,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Jared wasn't into me at all. And if I didn't
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: choose to befriend him and to grow our relationship that
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: way after the show, who knows where we'd be today.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: It's such an interesting point. I mean, Garrett, you know Colton,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: and and we're gonna bring intation later on the podcast
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: to talk to him about this, and and just what
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: she knows about Colton where she thinks this ends up, uh,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: and and how maybe Cassie could have handled this better,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: how she handles it best from me on out. But Garret,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: you know Colton, how do you think he responds? He's
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: just been his heart's been ripped out, kind of feels
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: like it's been ripped out, stomped on and then ripped
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: out again. And he's going only off is to go
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: after this girl. Yeah, what do you think happens next?
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: How do you think Colton handles this? And how would
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: you have handled this? That's it's a tough situation, I
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: think because obviously on the show, you don't get to
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: have friends or family or the people that you normally consult,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: so you've got to think about it on your own
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: and really soak it all in and really just follow
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: your heart and go after what you really want and
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: what you think would be best. But like Becca was saying,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: it's a two way road and you've got to find
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: like a fifty fifty. I get that he totally wants her,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: but if she doesn't feel the same way, then I
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: don't know. I really don't know how that works out
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: for me, because, like I told Becca when we were
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: on the show, if I wasn't into her and she
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: was into me, um, I would have to in that
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: relationship kinda and not have her continue to chase after me.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: And it was like the same thing where if I'm
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: in Rebecca but she's not into me, I don't want
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: to just continue to keep chasing and chasing after something
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: that she's not gonna feel the same about with me.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Does it not feel a little unique this season because
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Colton has been broken up with so many times? I
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: mean it is, and it does did not feel unique
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: because he had been warned by some of the women
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: that had either broken up with him or had he
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: had asked to go home, that hey, some people aren't
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: here for the same reason you are, and then that
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: prediction comes true, and so we're all sitting there going,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: you know, Cassie hasn't had an easy week. She's been
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: the media is blown up around here. You know, there's
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: a ton of criticism. Uh, you know, I don't think
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: any of that's ever deserved, but I do get it.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Fans of the show are going to criticize how you
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: handle yourself on the show. And so if she's been
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: being criticized on the show for not being ready, and
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: then that comes becomes true, all the viewers are gonna
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: go eight. It's been right in front of your face
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: the whole time, right, You've been warned about this over
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: and over again. These women have left and told you, like,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: the person you love is not here for the same
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: reason you are. And then it happens like, how are
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: we supposed to as viewers? And then I want all
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: of you to respond here because we have been a
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: party show, how are we supposed to kind of forgive
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: and forget if they do get back together? Like doesn't
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: just just feel confusing at this point? Yes? And I
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: think what I always try to keep in mind is
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: what we as viewers are watching is two hours every
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Monday night. There's so much more that goes into filming
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: and conversations and time with the person that we don't
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: get to see. And you know, everyone judged me or
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: the guys on my season based upon one little thing
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: that they said or some action that they did, and
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: it's like, there's so much more to that. And so hopefully,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: because I do wish the best for Colden and Cassie
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: and whatever happens, like hopefully they on the show had
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: more conversations than just what we're privy to see during
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: this you know, this awkward, weird, crazy breakup on the
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: TV show. Um, But that being said too, I think
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: it comes down to communication. And so of course Colton
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: was being warned from multiple people about some of the
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: girls not being ready. It's also up to the girls
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: too if they aren't ready, which I think Cassie did
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: to a certain extent. You know, she was saying, I'm
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: not ready to give him what he wants. If he
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: wants an engagement, I don't think I can get there.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: So I will say, like, at least she acknowledge that
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: and and not took herself out of the setting per se,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: but at least said like I'm not going to keep
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: going along with this and just do it for the show. Um,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: I just wish there was more context to what we
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: did see play out, like more reasoning of why she
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: was leaving, other than just you know, I don't know,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know, And that's kind of what I felt
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: like I was hearing was a lot of I don't know,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: is but if you don't know, that's okay to not
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: always have the answers, but um, for at least Colton's
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: sake and just for me as if you, like, I
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: want to be able to understand more why this is happening.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: I think that Cassie naively thought that if she were
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: to break up with Colton that he was going to
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: end up with Tasia or Hannah g Like. I really
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: just think that that was kind of like her way
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: of being like, it's not me, but go enjoy one
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: of the other two. It's gonna be fine for you.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: So I think if she finds out, and which she will,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: that he dumps Tasia. So sorry that I'm saying this
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: in front of you and and Hannah Ge, maybe she'll
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: be like, Okay, wow, this is like he's a lot
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: more serious about me. Than I ever thought, because it
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: is hard to gauge when you know that they're solar
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: people involved. It's like, to a certain extent, you have
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: feelings for all three people at that point. And I
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: think us being on the show, realized that, like, we're
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: not idiots. We realized that we're not the only one
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: and done person, and so you have to keep that
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: in the back of your mind. And I think maybe
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: she just didn't fully grasp the overall feeling and an
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: harmony of his emotions for her. The headlines this week
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: are saying that, you know a lot of myself and
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: others includive just slamming Cassie and and I hate that
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: those are the headlines, but they actually catch people's attention,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: and that's not what I mean by this. I think
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: that it could have been handled so much better. I
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: thought the breakup was uh confusing at best. And I
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: think as a viewer right now, I sit there and
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: I listened to or watch this show, and I still
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: can't quite fully process what's happening. Like I still don't
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: get it. I don't know if it's it's just not
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: clear storytelling by the show in general, but there's something
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: missing I'm watching this breakup happen and and all I
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: can say is, either Cassie is is really struggling to
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: communicate that she wants to break up with Colton, or
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: she really still loves him and she's just not knowing
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: how to express it, or she's scared. And if that's
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: the case, I hope on this next episode we see
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: that play out, because when I watched the breakup, it's
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: so flippy floppy, like there's I love you, this is
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: the best day ever, goodbye, I still love you, And
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: it's like, what do you love him? Do you not?
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Are you into this? Or you not? And then you
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: see tonight's episode and you see him torn apart and
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: feeling as you saw talking to Chris Harrison, which I
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: think is is a huge signs feeling like he knows
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: something more that he knows Cassie still into him, where
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: when I watched shows like that, girl's down into you
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: at all. Okay, So that's what was such a surprise
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: to me. When he's talking to Harrison and he goes,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: I think she loves me. I think she's scared. It's
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: like I think I'm thinking, like we must he's either
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: blind and seeing what he wants to see or we're
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: not seeing a lot. Yeah, because the thing that confused
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: me was a lot of viewers think that at the
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: end of it, you have to get engaged, and you
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: have to be engaged, and she clearly made it. She
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: clearly made her point up that she wasn't ready to
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: get engaged. And then Colton says, we don't have to
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: get engaged. I just choose you and I want to
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: be with you kind of thing. But then she just
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: kept saying I don't know, I don't know, I don't
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: know if it's gonna work out. How many times did
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: she say I'm confused? So that's like, to your guys point,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: it's like, is she breaking up with him? Or is
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: she want to stay with him? I mean, and you've
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: gotten to know him pretty well. Is he blinded to this? Is?
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Are we not seeing it all? I mean because of
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: your time with him and because of the kind of
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: the details of his life that you know. Do you
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: believe he's blinded and she doesn't really like him? Or
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: do you believe he's actually reading the situation correct and
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: she does still care? Oh God, this is a hard question, Ben,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: I'm I would say I think it's half and half.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: I will say, like Colton, he he came on this
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: season hoping for an engagement. You know, that's you come
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: on the season hoping to find your partner, somebody that
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: you can share your life with. And I think just
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: because of all of his breakups, you know mine with
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: him included, he kept saying like, I I want somebody
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: who feels the same way that I do, Like I
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: want to feel like I'm good enough for somebody. So
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: he went into this like all in sorry, everyone balls deep,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: like ready to do this and hopefully for a wife.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: And UM, I think that freaked Cassie out a little
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: bit because she I do think that she cares about him, Um,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: from what I've seen to a lesser extent. But because
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: of that, I think she thought like, Okay, he wants
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: an engagement, he wants a wife. And knowing how I
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: was in his position, you know, you give toasts throughout
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: the season, you give speeches to the group of guys
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: every week, and at every roast ceremony, UM, and you
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: kind of project like what you're hoping for, what you've
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: learned from that week, and for me, UM, at one point,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: I said, uh, like I see my partner, I see
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: my husband in this group of guys. And I remember
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: leaving that being like, oh, that's like a very bold statement,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: like to say, I see my husband in this group
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: of guys. But I felt it and I meant it,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: and I noticed throughout the season Colton had said that too,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: So he of course is like again all in, like
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: ready to do this, ready to find someone, ready to
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: get down on one knee. I just think the timing
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: scares Cassie, and I think after what her dad had
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: out of like if you if you aren't ready to
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: commit acent to somebody, then like what are you doing?
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: And I think, Um, for him and her, they both thought, Okay,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: it has to edit an engagement. That's what Colton has
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: been talking about. That's what he's been wanting this entire time.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: So if you can't give that to him, then remove
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: yourself so he can find that. Um. But that's weird
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: because that's like her that Cassie thinks that an engagement
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: is more important than being with the person that he
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: actually loves, Like, isn't that weird of her to think
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: he should be thinking like, Oh, if he loves me enough,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: he'll be okay with not getting We'll make it work
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: in whatever way. And like throughout my season, at one
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: point I even said, I think a couple of times, like,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: you know, I am falling for a couple of guys here.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: If I'm not ready to get engaged, that's fine, Like
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: if I can just end up with the person that
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: I choose and that they choose me, and we can
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: end up together, and you know, if an engagement comes
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: down the road, that's great. Um. And I think that's
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: at this point now with Cassie. That's what he's saying,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: like if if I choose you and you choose me,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: let's do this together, we don't have to get engaged.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: And I think I think it's just a miscommunication. And
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that's something that they had talked
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: about at any point um or if she just assumed,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Like I mean, it's hard because there's so much going
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: on on every day and there's so much you know,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: thought are going around you that I'm not articulate articulating
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: this very well at all. But I don't think he's blind.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: I think he realizes it, but I think he's kind
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: of turning his cheek to say, you know, we'll get there,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: we'll get there. I'm willing to do what it takes
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: if you're willing to say you want me to, like,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: let's do this like so, And I've never met her,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: and so that's why it's really hard to say any
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: of this because I haven't had a conversation with her.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know her how she is or how she acts.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: So I feel like I'm not the best person to
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: be asking about this. Yeah, so we do have somebody
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: that's a little bit better to ask about it. We're
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: gonna take a break. Bring on, Tasia Garanbeck. Can you
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: here on for a few minutes today? Sha, it'd be awesome. Hey,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: before we get to Tasha. The season's almost over. We've
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: had a blast um. I feel like we've done a
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: decent job ash of not talking about the virginity topic, right,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, we haven't talked about a ton a little bit.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: It's a important talk about the times, but I feel
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: like we've stayed away from it. But in memory of
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: this season, we have to make one more virgin joke.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: All right, go for it. I don't know who's puting
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: sleeping with these days. I don't know if he's sleeping
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: with anybody. But he is. I hope he's sleeping on
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: a sleep number mattress. Actually, as you know, I've been
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: sleeping on a sleep number bed for years now. Actually
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: I have had it a sleep number bed since college.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: What kind of twee are you? Oh yeah, I haven't
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: told you the story. Let me tell you the story
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: real quick. So my grandfather had parkinson Is. He's six
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: ft five. He's passed away last year. But because of
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: the Parkinson's it's important that you know. He rolls around
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: a lot at night. And so to get a sleep
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: number bed, there's two separate settings you can have, so
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: that once I could be firm for him and then
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: at the time my grandma could be on the other side.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: And it's big and it's wide. Well you know, Parkinson's progressive,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: a place where he no longer could sleep in the
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: same bed and all those things. And so when when
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: that happened, guess what happened, Mr No that they already
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: had to sleep number. Mr Grandson me sleep number. I'm
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: not mad about it. And I know why they got
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: to sleep nuver because it is so comfortable. The new
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Sleep Numbers sixty smart bed helps everyone from parents to
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: pro athletes improve their daily performance through proven quality sleep.

• 19:59
  Speaker 1: depth yes, where we take people from the franchise or

  Speaker 1: you welcome Becca, Garrett, ash and I as fans of you,
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: just to ask you some questions that we've been wondering
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: and get it from the source. My first is, let's
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: go back last week. Um, if we can give a
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: quick recap, I'll try to summarize your season and a
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: few short notes. Right, you had a great chemistry with Colton.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: You guys experienced some some huge things together. And one
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: of my first notes that I've talked about actually is
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: I'm so glad it was not the Bachelor this season
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: because I hate jumping off of things, and you jumped
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: off and into things all the time. Are you kidding me?
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: I'm afraid of heights. Really, that's my biggest fear. So
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: did you do that as a bonding thing? I bought
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: my experience. I don't know what came over me, quite honestly,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: but I was a daredevil and I lived for it.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Can we do a trust fall after this with with you? Yeah,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: we'll post on Instagram. We need that. Yeah, used to
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: remember that? Please try as fall? Um. I mean when
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: you're on these dates then, did you feel like you
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: just had to do it to impress Colton or the
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: show or you had any option? I honestly, I would
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: never the one thing that got me. I would have
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: never bungee jumped. Okay, yeah, skydiving over bungee jumping for
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: some reason, I agree, and I did both of them,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: and I would do sky diving any day. Bungee dumping.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: I'm glad I did it, done and done, never happening again. Um.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: That being said, yeah, I kind of feel like I
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: had to do it, But at the same time, I
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: came into this entire experience wanting to do the absolute
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: most and have no regrets. So I don't know what
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: came up with me. Honestly, I blacked out and I
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: just jumped. As you can tell, I jumped the wrong way.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: I was gonna ask you that my first quote, I mean,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: the question was it's being criticized on social media and
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: on a show I did last week that your form
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: on the bungee jumping was not okay, like it was
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: very dangerous. Why you jumped out? Um? I jumped like
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: feet first, pencil, and then I with you're supposed to,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: you know, like to dive into a cool You're supposed
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: to dive like that, she penciled of like feet first.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: I legitimately blacked out, Like when I tell you blacked out.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: I don't even remember getting whipped. I don't remember anything.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: I remember bouncing back up at the bottom and be like,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: oh my god, so cool. Great when you jump like that.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: I just said, oh no, oh yeah that and he's like,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: oh no. I was like, oh gosh, up for a girl.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: It was not good. It was not good. But your
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: your dates continued, Your your chemistry with Colton Um kind
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: of catalyzed to the point of the fantasy suits, and
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: I think that's where we want to start is the
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: fantasy Yeah yeah, yeah, me too. Oh god, Ashually, we've
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: talked about it last week. I gotta start this by saying,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Um and Beck and Garrett please chime in here and
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: ask any questions you want. We had some women from
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: the show on last week and they love you, So
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: I just want to say that is coming into this,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: we're big fancy because these women sat down and we're
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: so supportive of you as a purse in and that's
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: why we have some questions because we're protective of you.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: Right now, Okay, that means a lot. Okay, So you're
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: like so into Colton going into the fantasy suite. You
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: were talking a lot of induendo. Is that I'm saying
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: it right, Okay? And then the doors open, you'll let
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: the cameras in the next morning, and I feel like
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: your vibe was so off. Why, Um, come on, she
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: knows something. Something happens, whether you tell us or not. No,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: it's just I feel I felt that there are other
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: relationships I probably weren't more progress than mine. Okay. Is
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: that because he wasn't like making sexual moves? I mean no, uh,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: I feel really right now. I know I'm so sorry. Okay,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: let's give it a good laugh. I'm not saying with
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Fantasy Sweet Week, like the editing like the for me
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: they did it too, were like I think my pajamas
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: are like a towel or something before. So yeah, it's
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: just not no one needs to see that. I think,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: like I'm just leave about that. That just yeah. If
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: I have a question in the beginning of the date,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: like when the day started, could you tell something was
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: already off? Um, I couldn't tell until actually we got
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: into the Fantasy suite. So was it his mood, Like
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: was it a communication thing? I think it was just
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: like his energy and his vibe and you could just
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: tell when something's on. Do you think he was just
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: extra nervous. Who's very nervous? Um? And I think he
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: just didn't want to do anything he was going to
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: regret in a way, just because he did also care
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: about to other people. And I don't know, it was
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: just like my womanly instinct. I just kind of took
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: it for what it was and I wasn't gonna pressure
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: in any which I kind of get like if I
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: was in his position, you know, there are three women
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to cross the line with anyone knowing
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: that too other people's hearts were on the line. So
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: I get it from that stand point of being nervous,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: being like, this is new territory. What do I do
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: when I still have two other dates? Um, but still
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: to like there's no rule book. It's not like, Okay,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: you have to lose your virginity or you have to
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: sleep with somebody, or you have to stay up all
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: night talking like there's nothing so so much as you
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: talk quite a bit, like a couple of hours as
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: you sleep, Um, honestly, maybe like half hour. It happens
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: every time. I'm honestly, I've never been in or fantasy
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: suits now, Um, but no, I mean every one of them.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: You don't sleep because there's so much build up, and
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna I need to. I feel like I need
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: to protect Colton a little bit here because for me,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: you know, I went into my fantasy seat with Kayla,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: who was third on my season, and I did it,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: and I knew she wasn't the one, And I was
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: going to ask you, are you upset that Colton still
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: invited you into this fancy sweet but my my, in
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: my head, I desired to spend an evening with her
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: so bad, not sexually, not physically, because we had such
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: a great relationship that I felt that if I sent
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: her home before we spent that evening together, we would
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: be falling short of what we already had. You feel
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: like these are your girlfriends and boyfriends at the time,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: even though you know at the end it's not gonna
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: be with them, And you're like, I can't imagine saying
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: goodbye to you on a date with two people around
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: watching with cameras if I'm gonna say goodbye to in
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: my head, this was my rationale, and it was I
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: don't know if it's wrong or right. I would love
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: to hear what you think, Tasia, but my rationale was
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: I need a night with you just so I can
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: look back on this relationship that means so much to
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: me and know that we had this time together, Like
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: I felt like that was the closure maybe we both needed.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: Do you do you wish you would invite you into
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Does that rationale make sense? Or you upset that even
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: happen To be honest with you, Um, I mean Colton
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: kind of said he already knew he wanted to be
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: with Cassie, and at this point I didn't know that, um,
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: if anything, because he didn't actually verbalize anything to me,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: It's just I just could read his body language. It
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: made me more confused, and it made me kind of
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: wonder what was going on. But then I was like,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: but we just came back from the fantasy suites. Obviously,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: we just came off of hometowns which were amazing. Um,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: maybe I was reading two into it. So I was
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: just like, I'm just gonna try to take it for
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: what it is, and I'll see him at the Rost ceremony. UM.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: And I could see how you're trying to defend him
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: as well, that it is nicer to have a little
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: bit more time rather than just saying by at a
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: row ceremony when you do have a strong connection with somebody.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: So I understand that. But at the same time, it
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: only hurt me more. I think, which and if I
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: can tryme And I sent Jason home before our overnight
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: because I at that point knew that my other two
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: relationships were stronger, and I wanted the alone time just
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: because it would have been the first time away from
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: cameras throughout the entire season, like it would have been
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: our first conversational loan, like our first time alone, and
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: I knew that, like Jason is so funny and he's
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: such a great guy, and it would have been a
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: fine night. But I was like, if I know at
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: the end of this you're not the one, I can't
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: drag you through an entire night and just have feeling
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: to grow potentially more if we're not on the same page.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: And so for me, I made that decision to send
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: him home because I would have wanted that same respect
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: I think given to me, Like had anyone else know
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: they didn't want to progress relationship and other relationships or stronger,
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't have. I wouldn't have wanted to go through
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: that entire night knowing my heart was invested more than
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: somebody else's, right. Do you know what I think is
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: really interesting? You know how he told Hannah Gee that
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: he kind of thought it was going to be her.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: He said, I think it was I thought it was
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: going to be you, And then he said that his
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: date in Portugal with Cassie changed all of that. So
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: what if the dates really were a reverse What if
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: Hannah g did go first and did have an overnight
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: do we think it could have changed anything? Could her
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: dad have gone that well that he may have at
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: least been tossed up between Cassie and Hannah gy I
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: do you think? So, what do you think Tay show?
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: I mean very much So. I mean I think Hannah
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Gye needed hair time with Colton, and that being said,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: it could have changed everything. I think they did have
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: a strong connection just as being a girl, you know,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: amongst everyone else. You could see that during our dates
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: and whatnot. Um, so yeah, I think it would have
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: changed a lot. We we are humans, right, So there's
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: this there's a formula here that we have to recognize.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: And if you you're a fan of a fan of
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: the show, you've seen it year every year, every year
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: that the first date, the first overnight is gonna be
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: just based on us being humans with short memories forgettable
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: by the last date, no matter if it was the
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: best day or not, your first date with somebody is
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: going to be trump on this show because you're gonna
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: spend another night with somebody else, and that's gonna be
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: that's gonna get in your head and you're gonna start
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: processing that and then the third time that's gonna be
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: the thing that sticks with you, which ultimately in real
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: life or on the show, is gonna be the best
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: or most important date in your mind? And so for you, Tassia,
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: you were the first date. And I look back on
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: this and I think of all of your time with Colton.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: I think of then that night that you spent with Colton,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: and that the fact that you're saying, you know, yeah,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: it was weird that he had already mentioned Cassie. I
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: think that's the part here that I'm not processing that
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: before your day even he already had felt like Cassie
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: was the one, And so knowing Colton now and spending
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: time with him, like, is he confused at this point?
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: Is he keeping his head together? Is he emotional? Um?
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Is he has? He changed moods? Like? Are you seeing
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: a mood shift in him as as more stresses bringing on?
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Like what kind of shift are you seeing in Colton
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: towards the end here fantasy suits? Yeah? Or just from
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: your fantasy towards you know, the end of this week?
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: I guess on the show? Oh? Um, yeah, like I said,
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: I saw a shift as soon as the door closed
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: to be in the fantasy suites. Um, he just kind
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: of started. Do you think he was like putting on
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: an act? The entire time with you just know, but
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: that you just think it was because he was like,
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: oh man, I'm alone with this girl now and I
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: don't and I'm thinking of Cassie. Yeah, maybe so fortunate.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: I know, it's so sad. I mean, it's I didn't
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: realize it. Then again, okay, you know, it didn't make
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: sense until I saw last episode and obviously today, but
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: um yeah, looking back, I think he just kind of
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: already knew. So it would have been nice just to
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: not have asked me to get to the Nasy suite. Yeah,
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: he would have preferred it. You know. Let's move to
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: the breakup. I do have some criticism mccleton about the breakup,
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: and we've been supportive him all season, and I think
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: he showed his heart. I think he's a gunny Batcher Batchett.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: He's fallen short at times. I thought to break Up
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: with You was really hard to watch because what we're
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: hearing is you consoling him, and that to me did
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: not feel right. And I'm interested for everybody sitting around
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: the table, including Utahsia she watched that back or you
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: remember that moment? Am I watching that incorrectly? Or was
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: that your I mean he's crying and you're going it's okay, No,
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: it's not okay, it's not. Yeah. I don't know. I
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: think that's just I know it was so tough for him. Yeah,
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: I think he was feeling a lot of guilt, Like
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: he felt so bad. He was he was breaking up
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: with a girl who loved him, and he was shaking
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: so bad. The last thing I was I felt to
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: do was just like yell at him or just like
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: try to criticize him or even beg him that I'm
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: supposed to be the one that he's supposed to be
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: fighting for um. And honestly, I've been in a position
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: before my last relationship where I understand how hard it
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: is to be admitting truth and knowing you're wrong, and
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know, just having complete heartbreak. So my natural
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: instinct was just to console him and just to be
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: there as much as they could. I don't know, I
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: just felt bad. He's a good guy. Are you looking
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: at me like that? I mean, I'm looking at you
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: like that because it is. I mean, you're you're obviously
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: very sweet and he is a good guy, right, Colton
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: is harmless. Like there's one thing that we can all
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: agree upon Colton Underwood is absolutely harmless, right, Yeah, like
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: there's there's criticism, but but but being harmless doesn't mean
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: that you're always going to do this correctly. And I
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: still think it feels weird that he goes to you
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: and breaks up with you, that he knows there's somebody
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: else out there that you, guys, spent the evening in
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: the fantasy sweet and it's big of you than to
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: look at him and go, you know, you've brought this
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: pain on yourself in a sense, like this could have
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: been a lot easier if we didn't spend the night together,
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: like this could have been a lot easier, if if
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: we didn't share in these memories for so long together,
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: if you knew it was Cassie two weeks ago, this
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: gets a lot easier for you if you don't bring
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: me along the way and instead because of who you are.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: I think he's bawling, shaking, and you're going, no, it's okay, No,
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: you're right. I did have all those questions, and in
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: a way I did for quite some time. But I
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: think I've moved on and he I hope he's happy,
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: and I hope he's with the person he wants to
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: be with, and I hope everything works out for him.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I did have a question as to why
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: he brought me the fantasy suits when he knew all along.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: I I was wondering, you know, how Hannah Gy was
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: even going to feel about all that. It was just
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: a lot. It was a lot that whole day. I
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: don't really like to belive it, to be honest. So
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: when he went to your room and he said it's Cassie,
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: did you know that Cassie had broken up with him?
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: No idea, Okay, So you were like, oh, he just
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: decided and he's letting me go nicely right now. I
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: honestly thought that they had gone to the fantasy suite.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: Maybe they had been intimate, and he knew the she
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: was the one and that was it, and he made
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: up his mind already. I didn't know what to think.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: So when did you find out that Cassie had broke
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: up with him? Um? It was I don't know what
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: I was getting sent home, Okay. So it was while
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: you were still on set. And so when they're all
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: searching for Colton in the middle of the night, in
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: the dark after the fence jump, like a lost dog,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: you have no idea this is happening, Like, are you
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: just asleep? I had no idea. You know, it's so
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: crazy is that night? And maybe this is a little weird,
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: But I could not sleep, and I just remember opening
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: my prayer journal and I wrote a prayer for Colton
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: because I I felt like something was off. Isn't that weird?
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I just you're very connected to him,
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: didn't be. I'm emnarested to hear your thoughts through this
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: whole thing. You've now got to no taste a little bit,
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: you know, Colton, Well, you're the only one in the
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: room that knows them both. You know, you probably know
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: them both the most at this point, right too, So
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, what do you think of this whole thing?
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: Because it is a little heart wrenching. I okay, this
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: is something I always think about. And you know, Colton
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: had the choice to wait to break up with you
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: and Hannah ge at the next Row ceremony, or he
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: had the choice to end thing sooner, just like I
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: had the choice throughout the season if I wanted to
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: send somebody home early or keep them through the Row ceremony.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: By all means, Row ceremonies would be the easiest way
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: to break up with somebody because you go into it
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: and everyone standing there as as strong of a connection
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: as you can have with somebody, Like you go into
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: it's still being like there are multiple people here, I
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: could potentially go home. So in that setting, to me,
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: it's so much easier, um because you know you're breaking
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: up with somebody, but it's kind of in a formulated way,
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: per se um. So to end things early you have
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: to really think about it. And I think that, you know,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: Colton may or may not have done it in the
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: best way, but he did it in the way that
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: he felt was right for him. And I can't fault
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: him on that because I guarantee going to your door
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: early and going to handed G's door early was much harder,
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: much more heart wrenching, and a lot more difficult for
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: him to probably do just being in his shoes, knowing that, like,
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: you know, I could show up a few days later
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: and have all of these beautiful people standing in front
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: of me, give out two roses, say my goodbyes, knowing
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: that I'm going to say goodbye to one or two people. Um.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: So it's it's tough, and I do feel because like
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: watching his breakup was not only Cassie last week, but
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: with you and Hannah too. It obviously brings up memories
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: of my breakup and just knowing, like, you know, you
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: really have to feel what's right and to hopefully be
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: in tune enough with yourself to make that choice and
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: to cut things off early. Um, So it's not easy.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: And I know that he probably didn't do it in
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: a way that most people appreciated watching or like, I
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: think that it left a lot of people wanting more
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: or like knowing more or having more answers. But he
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: did hopefully what it was right for him, and I
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: know that had not that could not have been easy
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: on him. No, I agree, And you're right. At the
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Rose ceremony, I feel like you kind of mentally prepare
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: that you could be going home, Okay, you have that,
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: like you have a little doubt in your mind, whether
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: you're like I'm confident in this relationship, you still know, like, hey,
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be standing up next to two or three
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: or more women knowing that a certain amount of us
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: are going to be going home, So you just like
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: it's just you know that, so you kind of have
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: a little bit of hesitation or doubt at some point
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: being like this is the setting word somebody's going to
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: say goodbye. Yeah, I think I was just really shocked
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: and blindsided. But to harp on what kind of like
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: Garrett was saying earlier, I'm glad he kind of told
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: me when he knew he didn't want to pursue me anymore,
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: as opposed to having me continue to pursue him and
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: him not or him know that he didn't want to
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: be with me. Yeah, I was going to say, is
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: it did you have like some sort of relief, Like
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: I know, initially the shock of it and you're blindsided
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: and stuff like that, and it sucks really bad, but
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: just to have the relief of knowing, like because you're
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: putting all your effort and energy into the relationships, and
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: but to just know, like it's hard on him to
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: break up with you. It sucks that you're going through it.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: But at some point did you feel like relief like
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: I can move on. I did everything that I could
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: possibly do. I have no regrets, and yeah, I laid
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: it all out there. I jumped out of a plane
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: for that guy. I mean, more than to do first
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: on that bunch of that I could have died, but
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: you know, um yeah, I laid it all out there
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: and I was happy with what I did. So I
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: have a question. Yeah, so when he knocked on your
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: door that day to end things for of all, what
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: were you thinking? Were you like, oh, this is room
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: service or who? Like did you think it would be him?
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: I just want to know what was going through your mind. Yeah,
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: I want to know this too. Are you a fan
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: of the show, because I think that when you see
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: the Bachelor at your door during the top three weeks,
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: it can only mean bad news. It's bad. The knocks
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: on the doors are always best. They always, especially even
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: the date cards, when you hear those hard, pounding knocks,
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: so it kind of drops a little bit and you're like, oh, yeah, happening,
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: like immediate anxiety. Um, but no, I was actually looking
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: at photos and shooting, you know, some be roll and
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: then the door. Someone knocked at the door, and I
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: was like making a joke of it, was like, wouldn't
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: that be so funny that it was Calton? And then
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: like nobody was moving, and so it's like, oh my god,
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: I gotta got to open the door, and I guarantee
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: you it's him, and it's not going to be good.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: Then I did, and I just saw his face and
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: I was just like, all right, Yeah, we could see
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: it in your It is what it is. We gotta
• 41:01

• 43:45
  Speaker 1: on Single Parents on ABC, it's a Bachelor theme episode
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: with guest appearance by Chris Harrison. Tonight on the Almost
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: Famous Podcast, we have J. J. Philbin and Layton meast Or,
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: two stars of the show, calling in now. Layton, I
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: kind of feel starstruck through the microphone with you right now,
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: because I've just watched so many years of Gossip Girl.
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: I am so excited that you're on an ABC show. Now,
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: are you a Bachelor fan? I am, and I'm especially
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: Bachelor fan now because I have been to the mansion.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: I've been, you know, in scenes with Chris, which is
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: like huge, and I feel like now I'm like part
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: of the family, Like I know all the secrets, and
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: I know all the stuff and behind the scenes, and
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: and I feel like I don't know. And I also
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: very much not disappointed that it's very true. You know,
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: I feel like I get it. I'm part of this
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: part of this. Now you're part of Master Relations. It's official. Well, yes,
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: that's very cool. Um, did you get to you went
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: to the Bachelor mansion this episode, right, and you saw
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: a wet driveway, a wet driveway just like it is
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: on TV. We went in the hot tub. Um, we
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: sat on the steps in front of the front in
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: front of the front door, and Chris opens the door
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: and it's like, would you guys like to come in
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: and like talk about your love lives? And the best
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: thing is like the wishful filment of our show is
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: like we all have like families and past lives and
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: all kinds of stuff that's been going on that kind
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: of causes just sort of drama that whether or not
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: we want it, it's there. But we're also single, which
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: is like a really fun element of our show because
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: there's like chances for love connections, but of course we
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: all are totally like screwed up in our own ways,
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: so we can't really see love when it's staring at
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: us in the face, or like when a relationship is
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: good or bad, Like we can't really figure it out.
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: So my character has like in desperate need of some guidance,
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: and he's like the perfect person to be uh giving
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: breaking it down for me and happens to be doing
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: it in the hot tub and kind of knows like
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: just what to say to kind of get to me
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: and like make me understand um, sort of my my
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: shortcomings as far as love and what I can do
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: to fix it. We got j J. Filman and Layton
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: Measter on the line. Layton and j J will also
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: be at the Live Bachelor finale tomorrow Tuesday on ABC.
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: J J. You're actually the creator of Single Parents, Uh
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: that stars you know yourself and Laton Mester. Is that correct, yes,
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: called creator with Liz Meriweather amazing And because of your
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: desire and love for the Bachelor franchise, why did you
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: choose then to create an episode so Bachelor focused on
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: a show that you helped create and love so much
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: because of the with The Bachelor and our show is
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: about single people trying to find love and you know,
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: trying to believe in a fairy tale, trying to believe
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: that it does exist. And it just felt like a
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: perfect way to like mild my two loves, which is
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: single parents and also The Bachelor, I mean, getting Layton
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: and Camery, like their characters to talk to Chris Harrison
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: and to be like, you know, to express all of
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: their doubts and frustrations. And we do think of him
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: as in our writer's room, as a real guru, as
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: the person who you know, you go to for for
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: council um and and for faith and right and so
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: it really was like it actually made sense for us
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: story wise, and it also really made us laugh. I mean,
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: we're huge fans of the show, and selflessly, I just
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: I really wanted to go to the Mansion and I
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: really wanted to meet Chris Harrison. So we're yeah, did
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: you make Marcel the owner of the Bachelor Mansion? No?
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: I didn't. I mean I definitely was in like negotiations
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: with him and was like very aware like the time
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: crunch and like things that were going on that like
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: around our shoot dates, and was like on the edge
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: of my feet, like so nervous, but like it wasn't
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: going to work out. But when I found out that
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: we were going to be at the Bachelor Mansion with
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: Chris on Valentine's Day, I was like, well, I can
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: die now. But feels like the fires that you shot
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: the episode. Yeah, it was only like a month ago
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: that we thought the episode. The fires had happened in uh,
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: you know, the fall, and I was aware that the
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: fires were like encroaching upon the mansion, but in something
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: like divine intervention, the mansion had been spared, which felt
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: really right to me. I was like, yes, that makes sense, um.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: And then when I got there, you know, it felt
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: even more right because it did feel kind of like
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: this hallowed ground. Um. It had been pouring that whole day.
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: It continued to pour it with an all night shoot,
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: as Layton was saying, and uh, you know, so it's
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: the driveway was super wet. The place had like there
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: was a mist that was coming up out of the
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: hot tub. It felt very fairy talist, which is what
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: we were sort of going for in the episode. It's
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: it's funny. I think we just passed over something that's exciting.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: You literally rented Chris Harrison on Valentine's Day. I don't
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: know how it was my date on Valentine's Day. It
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: was a dream. I mean, my husband like stepped aside
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: because like I completely understand, like I would do the
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: same thing. And then I mean, so Chris opens up
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: the door of the bachelor mansion and he's obviously an
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: actor at this point, like he's acting to play himself,
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: which is unique. How was he as an actor of
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: himself of himself? Did he nail it? Nail it? He
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: nailed it. He really a He had like huge monologues
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: and was great. He was really good. Like sounds like
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: they were throwing all at him or he had to
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: like you know, kind of improvise and stay different like jokes,
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: just kind of come up with stuff on the spot
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: and stay different I don't know, variations of lines and
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: was just killing it and like really making me laugh
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: and actually like he can kind of the emotional moments.
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: I was really like, Okay, so this is why you host.
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: That's why I think why you do this, because like
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: you're really you're killing it. I sorry, Chris, Like Chris
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: had said, like it was the same way that when
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: he kind of like walks into a scene in the
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: Bachelor and I just immediately feel better. I'm like, whoever
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: is stressed out right now is going to be less
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: stressed out because Chris is here, Like I felt that
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: way in our episode, Like he just had like he's
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: so calm, he had such a command over what he
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: was doing, and I was like, he's in his home.
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: Jump the fence. They said, where's Chris, where's Chrisma Chris.
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: You know when I saw like Colton jump the fence,
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: I was like, somebody get him, Somebody wake him up,
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: find him, Find Chris. Like you guys all obviously haven't
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: been on the show, because when you do see Chris
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: Harrison come into a room, you normally think something that's
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: going to happen. I feel better. I always feel like
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: he's gonna like make it all okay. Well, Chris told
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: me that he thinks that he thinks a latent sense
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: that he was like freaking out, So she said, let's
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: have ten minutes. Yeah. So we so we had done
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: like a little thing here and there, like throughout the day,
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: like had done like an interview, and we'd done a
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: rehearsal and maybe we shot like a little snippet up
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: the scene. But then we had this massive scene that
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: was starting like of course in the middle of the night,
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: like two am, and we were shooting in the decuzzy
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: and it was creezing and raining outside, but somehow there
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: was like a break in the clouds um, and I
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: was like, we should we should go through the lines
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: because I didn't know, you know, I didn't know that
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: he was a freaking professional actor. I was like, damn,
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: he like he knew all his lines. And I think
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: it really more for me. I was like, can we
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: just run this because it's like three or four pages
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: of dialogue and he totally didn't like like a lot
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: of monologues and stuff, and he was just really good
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: and super connected and super funny and um, so he
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: really didn't need the rehearsal. I did more than he did.
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: The uh lean and JJ, I gotta mention here, you're
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: We're in studio right now in Los Angeles after the
• 51:50

• 52:34
  Speaker 1: to a kid either one of you? Oh the virgin? Uh?

• 53:40
  Speaker 1: the grilling fest, right, but not really. I think we're
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: gonna light it up now. I think I have some
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: fun questions that we kind of like to wrap every
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: show with. Were you a fan of The Bachelor beforehand?
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: You know what? I actually started watching Ben season and
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: so yeah, and he still chows to go on now wait,
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: get there were some speculation in late August or early
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: September that Ben could have been the Bachelor. You know
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: did how do you feel about that? Do you want
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: it to be Ben? I mean that space, I'm not
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: looking at him. It's always a fun part of the
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: podcast because it was fun when I was single too.
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: For actually was actually kind of funny to put people
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: in weir positions because for a while I did think
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: about it and uh, and it went I mean this
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: year for the first time. I don't know if if
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: it would have been for sure me or not, but
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: it's the first time I even considered it again. And
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: there was a thousand reasons why I would have done it,
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: in a thousand reasons why I didn't. But Tachi, I
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: will say that watching you back this season, seeing how
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: you handled yourself and so you're seeing how you handled
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: the break up and jumping out of bungees, which I
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: think was one of the like I still am upset
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: with you for that. It was one of the most
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: stressful segments of this season. Watching you would have done
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: to you before are the job I would have never
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: done it. I would have finished this season then and
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: there you want to see me run for like, just
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: try to make me bungee jump not not not even
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: a good idea, But you handed yourself with so much
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: grace and so much poise, even up to the very end.
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: And I think that's why you know, the women last
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: week were so encouraging and supportive of you as a person.
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: So great job, You've made it. You're done. Oh my god. Okay,
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: well now that Ben wasn't the Bachelor, and Ben isn't
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: going to be on Paradise because he's a taken man.
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: Right now, who do you want to see in Paradise
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: from a past season that you think has a possibility
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: of popping up? You? Guys, not gonna lie. I haven't
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: even given this any thought. Really, like, you don't have
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: a Bachelor crush. I'm mean, let's think you've been watching
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: for since Ben's let's talk. Let's talk to this with you.
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: Let's take a second. All right, let's give me some names.
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: I think Peter Krause has been talking about you on
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: either Twitter or Instagram that he no, of course he's not,
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: but he just thought that you were super hot. But hey,
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: Peter is my neighbor in Minnesota and Wisconsin, so I
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: ever want to meet him? Okay, let us know he's
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: coming over. He's a great friend. What about what about
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, is not going don't cross him out? Yeah,
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: don't cross Dan out. He's definitely a possibility. Days ago.
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: He likes a bungee jump, not bungee jump sky he's
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: adrenaline junkie. Okay, just because I did on the show
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean a junkie. I mean he's cute, all right,
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: He's cute. I'm not getting enough anywhere. She's not. He
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: didn't hit the spot, Okay, Blake, Hortsman, Blake. Oh, she's
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: into it. Okay, Yeah, he's cute him tonight, I did.
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, and then there's a whole new crop. I mean,
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: I feel like, if we're gonna let's let's wait a
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks here, let's maybe bring um some contestants
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: potentially going on Paradise back. Let's rank what potential guys
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: are already that already exists in the Bachelor world that
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: could be a paradise. I mean, I'm gonna put Dean
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: and Blake up there, very very call Dean right now.
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: Let's call Dean right now and see if he'll he'll
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: get on the Bachelor in Paradise, and if so, will
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: he take Tashia on a date. It sounds like Dean
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: is already on the line. Hey Dean, heyy so Tasha
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: has you know, bungee jump? She's skydived at your skydiving place,
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: the place, the Paris skydiving, that that she's familiar, she'll
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: meet you down there possibly if you guys mutually seemed
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: to be into each other. Are you are you trying
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: to right now? She's on the line, Oh hey, oh
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: my god, I don't they incredibly awkward A little bit.
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: We have zero confirmation first off, of Tasia will even
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: be in Paradise, but we're just saying there is the potential, right,
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, her time on Colton season is now done.
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: She's done it well. She pursued love to the best
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: of everybody's ability. She found somebody that she was hopeful for.
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: And now obviously, just like we're doing this franchise, we
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: start looking ahead right away, moving on and sing Tassia,
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: if you end up in Paradise, Dean, is there a
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: chance you would be there? I mean, it's funny because
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: I'm literally watching she just got dumb. Uh, I'm watching that,
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: and at the at the reunion show, I was like,
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: holy cow, she looks amazing. Yeah, okay, Dean, you didn't
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: ask my question. You think she looks amazing? So the
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: attraction is there? Is there a chance of being Paradise?
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I think I have to sit
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: down and have a conversation to s about that before
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: I can really find wise. I need a vision father
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: of the franchise. Well, I need to sit down and
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: talk to Ben a little bit. I'm really nervous about Dean.
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: I love Dean so much, like I love this dude
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: like my brother. And I'm really nervous for Dean for
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: one reason, Tasha, you don't and like I would set
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: you up with with him in a second. I would
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: be so excited about that idea. But last week we
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: had some another a really great group of women in
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: on the podcast as well, and they said in live
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: and all of them like Dean, we know how what
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: happens with Dean. Like I'm nervous that this boy, this man,
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: you have so many women going after him that we
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: won't be able to protect him. Like he's such a
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: bighearted man, he has so much love to give. And
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: I can't watch another black box of Dean. Yeah, and honestly,
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: those are all my girlfriends, and I don't know how
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: I feel about going after another guy with all my girlfriends. Again,
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: you're on the Bachelor. Oh my gosh, you guys. I'm sorry.
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: I got the stress. But Dean, I do want to
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: ask you if if Peter has made any comments about Tasha.
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: Has Peter commented on not that I know of, Because
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: I saw a Twitter and Instagram, I thought you maybe
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: knew more. I don't think he watches the show, so
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: I would be surprised. I don't know. I think also
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: I forget his name now. Uh, Dean, we love you, dearly. Uh,
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: let's talk soon. It sounds like we've got a lot
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: to talk about, Dean. I will say what you texted
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: me last week. You said you wanted to catch up
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: this week and I haven't heard from you since. Man,
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: you ghosted me. I got in today, Dean, give it
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: a break. Man, Hey, I love you dearly. Dude. We'll
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: talk to you very soon. And uh, anyways, if you're interested,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of women out there just saying, you
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: know what, that Dan guy. He seems pretty cute. But
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: I think they could all probably do themselves a favorite
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: stay as far away as possible. But I appreciate it.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: I love you guys so much. I love you so much.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: We love you so much. And um, we are going
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: to move on with this interview with Tassia right now. Tasha,
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: what was your favorite memory that didn't make air? Oh?
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: That didn't make air? Um? We actually okay, so a
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: little bit got shown is when we were getting chased
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: by the bat in the mansion. Did see that? I
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: remember the great because they have the doors open all
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: the time. Yeah, but there is like a bad problem.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: There is like multiple did you guys see the rat?
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: What is there a rat? Yeah? It was well fed too.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: I would have screamed, but no, there was bats and
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: there was a ton of bees, and um, yeah it
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: was I hate bats, like I hate hate that so much.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: Then I look at them on Instagram and I'm like, wait,
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: they're actually kind of cute. They look like little mice. Yeah,
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: they're or like when they're curled up, they're like they're
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: like squirrels with wings. They're really not that bad. But
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: then there's something about them flying so like they can't
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: do there's like this just there lack of coordination that
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: freaks me out. I think wells have oftentimes have rabies,
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: so we've got to stay away from that. Yes, I
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: have two final questions for you, and uh and I'm
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: gonna ask one senator but Ashley, and then I'm gonna
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: close you out here. The last one is one for
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: you just riff off of this one is and I
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: do wanna. I don't want to just assume things. And
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: so once you have to answer it, is there a
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: change that you go to paradise? Um? Never say never,
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: but wouldn't you? Honestly, I've actually have never seen Bachelor Paradise,
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: so I don't really know what takespect. But it's all fresh.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: I mean tonight is like, yeah, it's just a lot
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: to think about. I get it. I just you know,
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: we'll throw it out there because it's obviously we're a
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: podcast and we're talking about the Bachelor, so we have
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: to do you guys think I should go? Yes? Okay,
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: I don't think it is beautiful there. I think it's
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: do you guys? Yeah, Beck and Garrett do you think
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: that she should go? I mean I would say, if
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: you're ready to find love or other friends, then yes,
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: it's like a month long vacation. Yeah. I mean he
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: doesn't want that. I say, think about it, but then
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: go have a hell of a time. Okay. I'm a
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: big fan, and because I sit next to Ashley every
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: week for two years now or a year and a half,
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know how long. So it feels like I'm
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: a big fan of Paradise and Ashley speak to this
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: from experience, But I've seen friends from my season of
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: the show find their wives and now have kids. And
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: I've seen Ashley, my co host, find her future husband,
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: and a friend of mine from the show, I've seen
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: real love come out of Paradise, And so for me,
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: I'm like, why would you not give it a shot? Honestly, Like,
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: it's such a fun vacation for a month that also
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: has led to so many incredible stories of actual love,
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: which if we're all really being authentic and honest here,
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: isn't that where we do the show, it's very true.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, I guess if my heart's in the right
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: place at the time right now, I just kind of
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: a little overwhelmed. Youve got a few months. Yeah, I'm
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: actually kind of excited to just be single and be
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: me for a little bit. So yeah, do you girl?
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: Live it up? Thank you? I little y show. What
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: does your dad say, Slash think about Colton today? Good question.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: He just goes this guy, That's what my dad says,
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: and he just he thinks he's awesome. But um, and
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: he still friendly believes that you don't mike relationships, and
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: he says, I told you so so. I mean that's
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: that loved that expression. So good. My dad said his
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: favorite hometown was yours. Really yeah, he thought he really
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: thought your parents were sweet and genuine. They're pretty cool,
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: aren't they. They seem to be cool. I mean they are.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: And I get my spunk from my dad, and I'm
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: as modest as my mom. So very nice. Hey, uh,
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: I have one last final question. I need you to
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: just riff on. But before we do that, Ashley, can
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: you tell all our listeners out there about Article? Did
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: you get your article furniture? Would you order? I ordered
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: a lamp? Um? Here's the thing. My lamps are very
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: old in my house. I don't spend a lot of
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: money on my decorations. Did you go to like a
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: thrift store to get it? Um? And so I had
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: to replace it just so it looks a little nicer inside. Okay, nice? Well.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: Article dot Com has a whole bunch of beautiful, well
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: made furniture. It's based on scandinavi in simplicity. It's beautifully
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: designed modern furniture. Article is an online only furniture company
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: and it eliminates the layers of traditional retail because Article
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: is able to keep these prices low and the quality
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: high because there are no showrooms and there are no
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: sales people, just savings. Article is serious about shipping to
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: no matter how many items, every order is shipped at
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: a flat rate of forty nine dollars. So you can
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: literally spend thousands of dollars on furniture, but you're only
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: gonna end up spending forty nine for shipping. It's pretty amazing.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: I got my new rug in this week. Why did
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: I need to get a new rug? Well, my dogs.

• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: be the cutest place to unwind and relax, especially our
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: bedroom with daylight savings time. I have been sleeping in
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: a bit like this morning. I didn't realize that I
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: slept until eleven, and it kind of affected my work day.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: I had a lot to cram in, but um, getting
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: one less hour of sleep it wasn't fun. But getting
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: to spend it in some really soft comforters and sheets
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: and blankets from Cranton Barrel that was that was pretty fun. Um. Well,
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: today Jared left me because we're thirty six hours apart
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: right now. It's very sad. He's at a viewing party
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: like in Palm Springs. I know we have very bad
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: separation anxiety. Anyway, let's go back to the bedding. It's
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: super soft, premium cotton and it makes me feel like
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: I'm sleeping on a cloud. Jared too, and our our
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: dog that likes to pee on the bed um. And

  Speaker 1: Uh it is over and just for NYM out there listening,
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: it's fresh. We just watch it tonight, but it's been
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: a few months. Um. You just saw Colton this evening.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: This wasn't easy on you, but you held yourself, like
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: I said earlier, with grace and poise. How do you
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: explain your experience on the show. Was it worth it?
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: And do you regret anything? Um, I don't regret anything.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: I think I, like I said earlier, late, it all
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: out there and because of that, I think I agree
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: tremendously and I am now what I used to call
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: with some of my friends on the show is tage
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: a two point No. UM, I'm just doing everything in
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: life bigger and better and I'm in a really good headspace.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: I I'm really striving to do the most with my
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: life that I've been given. Um. I feel like I've
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: gotten a second chance and I'm just I'm excited for everything. UM.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: As far as my journey, it was hard. There was
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: a lot of emotions. UM, it was a roller coaster.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: But I'm so happy I went on the show without
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: a doubt. You've mentioned a prayer journal. Yes, UM, I'm
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: going to assume that you were one of faith. We've
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: talked about tonight, uh in the dressing room before we
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: were out on the live show. Is one of the
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: common themes that we hear from people that go on
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: the show and that come off the show is that
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: they feel like they've lacked identity or purpose because you
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: have this massive explosion of attention and love and support
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: from fans, and you have this relevance and celebrity that
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: is unwarranted and also unexpected, and it last a while.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: You know, we're doing this podcast for two years now
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: and we love every second of it. But but actually
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: I talked about often as well as it's humbled. We
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: we've been humbled over the years at how new groups
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: come through, new bachelor's come through, new groups of women
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: and men come through, and slowly but surely you get
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: pushed behind. So for you, as a woman of faith
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: and a woman that has is brand new and fresh
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: to this, what purpose and what identity do you want
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: to be? What do you want to display moving forward
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: with the platform that you've been given. Um, honestly that
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: God is everything. I would not have been able to
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: overcome half the things I did if I didn't have
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: my faith. While as on the show, UM, I didn't
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: have my parents. I only had me, myself and God.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: So I prayed a lot and I think that that's
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: where my light and my joy came from. And UM, yeah,
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: So I hope that I have that platform to show
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: others that you have it deep within yourself as long
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: as you have faith and you stay ground in. It's
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: basically ta, Yes, you're beautiful. Thank you, thanks for coming
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: on the podcast. I appreciate you guys. Thank you for
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: good job. Don't we have to do sermons with Ben
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: serv series HIGs. I will say, Ben, you kind of
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: remind me of my uncle Gary, who is a pastor,
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: a miracle of Uncle Gary. Remember like N. D. M.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: C used to be in the tub and like do
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: his own little like yeah, he would do it on
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: his little BlackBerry, Yeah, in the bath the bubbles, and
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: he used to have like dear God like I do
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: remember that, Yes, it was so good. I do remember
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: that you should have like a little that's one of
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: those trays that go across the bathtub with a glass
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: of wine, bullet pop work from crane barrel. Can you
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: imagine if that was actually your career? Is I'm making
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: a show by sitting in the SuDS in a bathtub,
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: in a warm bath, drinking wine, eating and just sunking life.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: Sign me up. I have made would not complain um Tassia.
