- 1:30Speaker 1: Am I wronger right here? I don't think anybody's talked
- 1:34Speaker 1: to Crystal really yet about the fact that she's pregnant. No,
- 1:37Speaker 1: so that's probably our hottest topic this week, and we
- 1:41Speaker 1: are very excited and honored to kind of have the
- 1:45Speaker 1: privilege of first of the first people who are really
- 1:48Speaker 1: going to chat with her outside of her Instagram. I'm
- 1:52Speaker 1: pretty pumped about this because I don't thin anybody talked
- 1:54Speaker 1: to her about it. It feels like the place to
- 1:56Speaker 1: do it. And also, let's just like, I'm really I
- 1:59Speaker 1: don't know if it is inappropriate. Tell me if this
- 2:01Speaker 1: is inappropriate. Is it inappropriate for me to ask about
- 2:03Speaker 1: the timeline of how this all played out? Like, I'm
- 2:06Speaker 1: this is all happening so quickly. I was just at
- 2:08Speaker 1: her wedding a year ago, which, hey, no shame in
- 2:11Speaker 1: the game, but like, I don't know how this all
- 2:15Speaker 1: processed through yet, so I don't think that's inappropriate. I
- 2:18Speaker 1: think it's something that she's expecting. She even put the
- 2:20Speaker 1: date of her pregnancy test on her Instagram and it
- 2:24Speaker 1: was the first week of August, so I mean she
- 2:28Speaker 1: got pregnant in July and she's sang currently that I
- 2:32Speaker 1: think she's eighteen weeks, so I mean she's not really
- 2:37Speaker 1: letting there be much mystery around it. Now, well, hey,
- 2:40Speaker 1: let's get more details into it. I think it's gonna
- 2:43Speaker 1: just be uh, I don't know, Maybe it's the drama
- 2:46Speaker 1: inside of me. Commit it's just interesting to me, intriguing,
- 2:49Speaker 1: but like also to celebrate the fact that she is,
- 2:51Speaker 1: She's life is on the way for her. She's a
- 2:54Speaker 1: friend of ours, and our first headline really kind of
- 2:58Speaker 1: like relates with this. Strandon says he's truly broken by
- 3:03Speaker 1: Crystal Nielsen's pregnancy announcement. That's according to E News. I
- 3:07Speaker 1: don't know if it's just I mean, no, I don't
- 3:09Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I don't know if just because
- 3:11Speaker 1: we're friends with them, but it's sure feels like I'm
- 3:16Speaker 1: torn between being happy for Crystal and being sad for Chris.
- 3:21Speaker 1: I mean, how rough does it get to one have
- 3:24Speaker 1: to go through a divorce and then so quickly after
- 3:28Speaker 1: your ex is pregnant with her new boyfriend's baby. Uh.
- 3:32Speaker 1: He posted on Instagram saying saying that he was truly broken. Uh.
- 3:39Speaker 1: He continues saying, but I know in my heart I'm
- 3:42Speaker 1: going to find a super dope woman and have the
- 3:44Speaker 1: most beautiful babies a dad could ask for. So I'll
- 3:47Speaker 1: continue to follow my heart and let God guide my
- 3:50Speaker 1: path in finding an incredible woman to build and grow with. Yeah,
- 3:56Speaker 1: you know it. Again. Every week we save the question.
- 4:00Speaker 1: And this is I think a good moment for it
- 4:02Speaker 1: is he can be hurt like he cared about her,
- 4:05Speaker 1: and I'm sure she cared about him, like it was
- 4:07Speaker 1: a real thing. And we went to the wedding. Uh
- 4:10Speaker 1: it ended. She's obviously moved on. We're going to get
- 4:14Speaker 1: more details around that at friends Giving. But there's that
- 4:18Speaker 1: moments where like how soon is too soon to move on?
- 4:21Speaker 1: It feels like now Chris is having to move on
- 4:23Speaker 1: quicker than maybe he was ready. Um, And based on
- 4:27Speaker 1: his comments, he still feels it. I don't know who
- 4:30Speaker 1: would be ready after the short timeline that they've had.
- 4:33Speaker 1: So they announced their divorce. I believe in July, but
- 4:38Speaker 1: it wasn't finalized. Um, it was still being finalized throughout August,
- 4:44Speaker 1: so she was pregnant while you know they were still
- 4:46Speaker 1: technically married. It's it's sad, it's rough, but like it
- 4:50Speaker 1: also doesn't take away from me being so happy for
- 4:53Speaker 1: her because she's truly glowing on her Instagram. You can
- 4:56Speaker 1: tell that as nervous as she was, like you see,
- 5:00Speaker 1: if you guys have seen the YouTube video she records
- 5:04Speaker 1: herself in the bathroom taking the test, you can tell
- 5:08Speaker 1: him that moment, she's just so nervous, like she's not
- 5:12Speaker 1: necessarily and maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think she's
- 5:16Speaker 1: necessarily like hoping for positive. I think she's just like
- 5:19Speaker 1: letting God and let let be and that she's just
- 5:22Speaker 1: like happy where however it turns out. But you can
- 5:25Speaker 1: tell now that she's out of that first trimester. She
- 5:29Speaker 1: said she was so so so sick during it, she
- 5:31Speaker 1: could barely leave. She didn't feel like herself at all
- 5:34Speaker 1: for you know, about two months, she's really happy and thriving. Now. It's, uh,
- 5:40Speaker 1: it's it's a really interesting top we talk about We're
- 5:44Speaker 1: not gonna dwell on it. On Friends Giving This is
- 5:46Speaker 1: a time to celebrate and have fun and laugh with
- 5:48Speaker 1: each other and cook food. But there are some some
- 5:51Speaker 1: deeds that we gotta get look out, hit I am
- 5:55Speaker 1: some deeds that we gotta get out. There's a new
- 5:58Speaker 1: headline that I want to talk about. This one is
- 6:00Speaker 1: another one that's a really hard one to talk about.
- 6:02Speaker 1: A viral fan theory spark rumors, in fact, on our
- 6:05Speaker 1: almost famous text thread. This came through kind of right away.
- 6:08Speaker 1: Somebody from the team found it was kind of just
- 6:10Speaker 1: like more intrigued with is this true? Is it's not?
- 6:12Speaker 1: What's going on? But here here's the story that actually
- 6:15Speaker 1: is gonna break down. A viral fan theory sparked rumors
- 6:18Speaker 1: that Tasha adams ex husband would appear on The Bachelorette
- 6:21Speaker 1: this season, and Tasha responded, Ashley, what do we know? Yeah,
- 6:25Speaker 1: so you guys just go to Google type in, you know,
- 6:27Speaker 1: viral fan theory TikTok Tasa's husband, and this will come up,
- 6:32Speaker 1: so you can actually watch the TikTok theory. But basically, um,
- 6:37Speaker 1: this one fan had her closed caption ng on her
- 6:41Speaker 1: TV while watching the teaser for the rest of the
- 6:44Speaker 1: season of the Bachelorette and it's you know. It says
- 6:48Speaker 1: like Tasha Adams says, Blake says, you know um, and
- 6:52Speaker 1: then it says the name of Tasha's ex husband, Josh
- 6:56Speaker 1: Barrell says Josh Barrell Colon and then whatever he said.
- 7:00Speaker 1: So the theory is that Josh will be making an
- 7:04Speaker 1: appearance of some sort on the season. And I feel
- 7:08Speaker 1: like this is so wrong. Do you feel like it's
- 7:12Speaker 1: so wrong? I I would be shocked if it happens.
- 7:16Speaker 1: Now Tatia has responded, and what did she say? Well,
- 7:20Speaker 1: she said, Okay, can we just talk about something. Yes,
- 7:24Speaker 1: I've been married, and yes I'm divorced, and yes now
- 7:26Speaker 1: I am the Bachelorette and I'm dating twenty men on
- 7:29Speaker 1: ABC every single week. So the fact that we're continuously
- 7:32Speaker 1: talking about my past relationship that was I don't know,
- 7:35Speaker 1: three years ago, I don't understand. I don't get it.
- 7:38Speaker 1: He's living his life. I'm living my life. You have
- 7:40Speaker 1: plenty of other people that have signed up to be
- 7:43Speaker 1: researched and talked about. He never signed up for it.
- 7:45Speaker 1: So why don't we leave him alone and talk about
- 7:48Speaker 1: something that actually matters? Now? Listen Bravo for her for
- 7:52Speaker 1: calling it all out However, it just seems too weird
- 7:58Speaker 1: for this theory to not be accurate. Why would his
- 8:02Speaker 1: name be in any sort of ABC database that that
- 8:08Speaker 1: it like helps the close captioning right, because don't you
- 8:11Speaker 1: have to like, don't they have to program the closed
- 8:14Speaker 1: captioning text. This is gonna be messy if it's true.
- 8:17Speaker 1: If it's not true, then it's just uh intriguing. I
- 8:22Speaker 1: I want somebody out here to hold us accountable because
- 8:25Speaker 1: there's always so much news coming through in a month
- 8:27Speaker 1: from now when this episode airs that he's supposedly on, UM,
- 8:32Speaker 1: we'll probably forget about this moment, and so somebody needs
- 8:34Speaker 1: to ask us, if we don't ever talk about this again,
- 8:37Speaker 1: what happened, because we've got to find out what in
- 8:39Speaker 1: the world was going on for his name to pop up,
- 8:42Speaker 1: because this is this is a really interesting thing. But
- 8:45Speaker 1: it would shock me unless unless Tasha and Josh have
- 8:50Speaker 1: a really good relationship and he shows up to just
- 8:52Speaker 1: encourage her. Even then that would feel a little weird.
- 8:55Speaker 1: But I could see it happening. Yeah it feels weird,
- 8:59Speaker 1: but yeah, I don't know. I'm excited to see on
- 9:03Speaker 1: like a kind of related ish note, what her dad
- 9:07Speaker 1: is so fired up about there's so much about this
- 9:10Speaker 1: season that now like we're into it's it's gonna be
- 9:13Speaker 1: a great season. We're gonna break it down and just
- 9:15Speaker 1: a little bit with Bibby and kindle this last episode,
- 9:17Speaker 1: which is one to definitely talk about. But before we do, Uh,
- 9:21Speaker 1: I don't know if you do this. Actually I heard
- 9:23Speaker 1: this week, and I could be wrong. The Airbnb is
- 9:25Speaker 1: gonna have a public offering here pretty soon. And there
- 9:29Speaker 1: is one major reason why I would even consider purchasing
- 9:33Speaker 1: the public offering because of this headline. The Bachelor Mansion
- 9:36Speaker 1: is now available to rent on Airbnb for six thousand
- 9:40Speaker 1: dollars a night. Guys, how exciting is this? So last
- 9:45Speaker 1: night when I told Jared about this hot topic, It's like,
- 9:47Speaker 1: it's six thousand a night and that's a lot. But
- 9:52Speaker 1: I'm thinking that's a lot if it's like you and
- 9:55Speaker 1: one other person. But if you grab a a group
- 9:59Speaker 1: of friends together and you want to do a little
- 10:01Speaker 1: sporge fest five dollars a night for a dozen friends
- 10:05Speaker 1: to go and sleep over at the Bachelor Mansion for
- 10:07Speaker 1: a once in a lifetime opportunity. Uh, they're calling it.
- 10:10Speaker 1: They call the villa the mansion Villa de la Vina,
- 10:14Speaker 1: and it is better known, of course as the mansion
- 10:18Speaker 1: on The Bachelor. It's six thousand a night and it's
- 10:22Speaker 1: ten thousand square feet the house. There's a twenty thousand
- 10:26Speaker 1: square feet outdoor living space. It's got seven bedrooms. I
- 10:30Speaker 1: don't even know where all those bedrooms are, honestly, because like,
- 10:34Speaker 1: I don't think we have access to all the bedrooms right, Yeah,
- 10:38Speaker 1: they have a lot of them blocked off for storage
- 10:40Speaker 1: and for production. UM. I have a feeling, Ashley, this
- 10:46Speaker 1: is one of the best moves the owners of that
- 10:47Speaker 1: mansion could ever make, because that thing is going to
- 10:50Speaker 1: be booked out every week, every weekend for years to come.
- 10:55Speaker 1: I mean I would even consider, like I've lived in
- 10:57Speaker 1: the house, I would consider re renting it just to
- 11:01Speaker 1: like experience it. Again. There is a little bit of
- 11:06Speaker 1: a catch here. There are absolutely no parties, filming, professional
- 11:11Speaker 1: photography or you know, gatherings like you can't like, you know,
- 11:16Speaker 1: have twelve friends come to sleep over, but then bring
- 11:20Speaker 1: twenty four friends. And if these rules aren't followed, you
- 11:24Speaker 1: will be shut down immediately in the police will be
- 11:26Speaker 1: called for trespassing. Heck, yes they will. I need a
- 11:30Speaker 1: still worth it. What an experience. The Bachelor Mansion is
- 11:34Speaker 1: now available in Airbnb. People will be able to see
- 11:37Speaker 1: this iconic building. Um, this iconic home whenever they want.
- 11:42Speaker 1: He just had to drop six gs for it. Uh.
- 11:45Speaker 1: Next headline, Ashley he Bear and JP Rosenbomb celebrate daughter
- 11:50Speaker 1: essex birthday after announcing split. This according to people you know,
- 11:54Speaker 1: Essex is a beautiful name, but it's a mouthful to
- 11:57Speaker 1: say every time. What do you think her nickname is
- 11:59Speaker 1: sie E? I'm doing? Because yeah, Essex would definitely make
- 12:06Speaker 1: me uh just I can barely speak the way it is,
- 12:10Speaker 1: so yeah is what I go with. Okay, Well, it
- 12:12Speaker 1: was her fourth birthday over the weekend, and even though
- 12:16Speaker 1: they got divorced or they announced their split in April,
- 12:20Speaker 1: the two of them were both all smiles at her
- 12:23Speaker 1: birthday party this weekend. Um both posting on Instagram their
- 12:28Speaker 1: love for their daughter. So it seems like they'll, you know,
- 12:32Speaker 1: they'll have a friendly, friendly split where they can like
- 12:35Speaker 1: hang out even though they're not great together. Um, it's
- 12:39Speaker 1: a good thing and it's something that is admirable and
- 12:42Speaker 1: something a lot of a lot of people who go
- 12:44Speaker 1: through breakup some how hard that is and uh to
- 12:47Speaker 1: see them together celebrating their daughter, which is obviously at
- 12:50Speaker 1: the core of uh, you know what they need to
- 12:54Speaker 1: focus on right now. That's important and so good for them.
- 12:57Speaker 1: Bachelor Peter Webber and Kelly Flanning and react to engagement rumors.
- 13:02Speaker 1: This according to Entertainment Tonight, I guess this is what
- 13:04Speaker 1: happens when you're the Bachelor and then you don't get
- 13:07Speaker 1: engaged to one of the girls in your season that
- 13:09Speaker 1: you end up dating. You're just gonna get engagement rumor
- 13:11Speaker 1: engagement rumor engagement until it actually happens. But Kelly says, no,
- 13:17Speaker 1: there's they're still getting to know each other, They're having
- 13:20Speaker 1: lots of great adventures and growing together. They're very happy,
- 13:23Speaker 1: she says, And as I've as we mentioned a couple
- 13:27Speaker 1: weeks back, they planned to move to New York City
- 13:29Speaker 1: together next year. Honestly interesting choice in New York City
- 13:33Speaker 1: seems like it's not in the greatest of states right now. Um,
- 13:38Speaker 1: but they'll be moving there and within the next few months,
- 13:43Speaker 1: and um, I'm sure that we'll see what they're up
- 13:46Speaker 1: to for the holidays in the next couple of weeks
- 13:48Speaker 1: as well. Actually, I have a little wager for you
- 13:51Speaker 1: A little question, a little pull up there for anybody
- 13:53Speaker 1: listening as well. Who gets married first, even though not engaged?
- 13:57Speaker 1: You still throw them in this category Kelly and Peter
- 14:00Speaker 1: or Dale and Claire. Engagement with Kelly and Peter, or
- 14:04Speaker 1: marriage with Dalen and Claire. Now I'm saying marriage both,
- 14:08Speaker 1: marriage both. Oh well, then I'm going to say, Clarien Dale, Okay,
- 14:13Speaker 1: what are you gonna say? I'll take I don't know
- 14:17Speaker 1: that was a question for you. I'll take I'll take
- 14:19Speaker 1: the other side of I'll take Peter and Kelly though,
- 14:22Speaker 1: um yeah, with the a little way er on that.
- 14:24Speaker 1: See who's right, see who's wrong. That's just my my thought.
- 14:27Speaker 1: I I said it a couple of weeks ago. I
- 14:29Speaker 1: still believe this. I don't think it's gonna be long
- 14:31Speaker 1: before Peter and Kelly get engaged. I would be shocked.
- 14:35Speaker 1: Uh if it's not with him the next year. The
- 14:37Speaker 1: two of them see very happy. They seem very committed.
- 14:40Speaker 1: It made it through quarantine. Like if you can make
- 14:42Speaker 1: it through quarantine, you're off to a really good start.
- 14:46Speaker 1: Um yeah, so uh, something to celebrate and Bachelor Nation.
- 14:50Speaker 1: Bachelor Nations Jade Roper and Tanner Toilbert welcome baby number three.
- 14:54Speaker 1: This according to the news. Now, actually, before you break
- 14:57Speaker 1: this down, I was really pumped because I just happened
- 15:00Speaker 1: to be on social media the evening of this was happening,
- 15:02Speaker 1: and I was able to kind of watch the story
- 15:04Speaker 1: play out on tanners social media, and it was it
- 15:07Speaker 1: was really a really cool experience to see the process
- 15:11Speaker 1: because I've never been able to watch there. I know
- 15:13Speaker 1: they've been on a document a lot of them, um,
- 15:16Speaker 1: but this one was when I was like I tuned
- 15:18Speaker 1: into and really excited about. Yeah, I wish they documented
- 15:23Speaker 1: it even more, Like I know it's so private and
- 15:25Speaker 1: I don't want to like have Jade feel uncomfortable, of course,
- 15:28Speaker 1: of course, and I know that they took footage and
- 15:31Speaker 1: they'll release what they want to after the fact. But
- 15:34Speaker 1: it was so cool to watch it in live time
- 15:38Speaker 1: from her, you know, he was just like her waters breaking,
- 15:41Speaker 1: she's getting ready them setting up the indoor in homepool
- 15:45Speaker 1: because Jade delivered at home. Jade has you know, a
- 15:50Speaker 1: headency of really having really fast births, as we know,
- 15:53Speaker 1: like the Brooks was born within like an hour and
- 15:57Speaker 1: a half of her water breaking, and she lived in
- 16:00Speaker 1: the closet and um. So because of that, she she
- 16:04Speaker 1: wanted to deliver at home so there wouldn't be any
- 16:07Speaker 1: stress in getting to the hospital or the birthing center
- 16:11Speaker 1: as she prefers um in time. So she had a
- 16:15Speaker 1: water birth and he was born um somewhere before around
- 16:23Speaker 1: five thirty in the morning. His name is Read Harrison,
- 16:27Speaker 1: and I'll let you know that as funny as the
- 16:30Speaker 1: middle name Harrison maybe for a bachelor couple, they just
- 16:33Speaker 1: really do love the name. And whether or not Chris
- 16:36Speaker 1: Harrison had a role in their life, I think his
- 16:40Speaker 1: middle name would have been Harrison anyway. But yeah, read Harrison.
- 16:44Speaker 1: He's here and he is so freaking cute. I don't
- 16:48Speaker 1: know if it still will be up on Jade's story,
- 16:50Speaker 1: but on our instant story, she has a picture of
- 16:53Speaker 1: the babies, all three of them, from like the first
- 16:57Speaker 1: week they were born, and they are all clones of
- 16:59Speaker 1: each other. It's so wild, and Harrison looks even more
- 17:02Speaker 1: like Amy. It's wacky. It's they have some beautiful children
- 17:06Speaker 1: and what a cool family. Uh, congratulations to the two
- 17:10Speaker 1: of them. Well, hey, before we take a break here,

- 18:14Speaker 1: because he's a corn farmer, so maybe I want to
- 18:17Speaker 1: see something more creative from him. Actually, there's nothing wrong
- 18:21Speaker 1: with massive amounts of corn except for your stomach on Thanksgiving. Well, hey,
- 18:25Speaker 1: let's take a break here. When we come back, we're
- 18:27Speaker 1: gonna break down this week's episode of Tassia's season of
- 18:32Speaker 1: The Bachelorette with our friends Kindle and Bibby. We'll be
- 18:35Speaker 1: back with almost from his podcast. Hey, Ashley. Last week, UM,
- 18:50Speaker 1: I'm just gonna take a little platform here. Last week
- 18:52Speaker 1: I talked about Honduras and the hurricane that just devastated Honduras, right, um,
- 18:58Speaker 1: and the almost fromous family was incredible. Well, I got
- 19:01Speaker 1: tons of messages from all of you reaching out asking
- 19:04Speaker 1: how you can help, helping, actually going out and helping
- 19:06Speaker 1: donating aid. Um. It's it was an incredible week to
- 19:11Speaker 1: see the response from the people that listen to this podcast.
- 19:13Speaker 1: It was really healthy and good to see that, and um,
- 19:17Speaker 1: it's just appreciated. I want to pause here though, I
- 19:21Speaker 1: don't want to dive too deep into it. Um, I
- 19:25Speaker 1: were already one of the details of how devastating the
- 19:27Speaker 1: hurricane was, so I don't need to sit on that
- 19:29Speaker 1: any longer. You know that, UM, But as we speak
- 19:33Speaker 1: right now, the same exact area is getting hit with
- 19:36Speaker 1: one of the strongest storms in a thousand years. What where?
- 19:40Speaker 1: Why am I like not watching the news, but I
- 19:42Speaker 1: am watching news. Why isn't it being covered? UM, that's
- 19:46Speaker 1: a good question. You feel like it's not being covered.
- 19:49Speaker 1: I feel like it's being covered since it's happening in
- 19:52Speaker 1: Central America, Like, UM, a lot of things get pushed
- 19:55Speaker 1: under the rug. Obviously there's a lot going on in
- 19:57Speaker 1: our country right now. There's a lot of news around that. UM.
- 20:01Speaker 1: But here's the point is everything that we thought was
- 20:05Speaker 1: bad last week has been doubled now, UM, thirty more
- 20:08Speaker 1: inches of rain uh more flooding. Uh. In fact, it
- 20:14Speaker 1: won't be shocking if the city that we have everybody
- 20:18Speaker 1: sheltered in right now is flooded out, which would cause
- 20:23Speaker 1: UM catastrophic damage. This place has been hit with two
- 20:27Speaker 1: hurricanes within two weeks that are incredibly strong. So again,
- 20:33Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit on this because this you know,
- 20:36Speaker 1: there's no guilt trip here. Here's here's what I want
- 20:38Speaker 1: to say. Though you responded almost famous family and incredible
- 20:42Speaker 1: ways last week, and it was really cool to see,
- 20:48Speaker 1: but our job just got a lot tougher. And so
- 20:51Speaker 1: I'm asking that you continue to respond, continue to connect companies,
- 20:55Speaker 1: people with resources to help the people in Central America
- 20:59Speaker 1: that are being it Right now. UM, I'll post again
- 21:02Speaker 1: the list of things that we need, from you know,
- 21:04Speaker 1: toothbrushes to two plastic bags to clothes. UM. Actually, you
- 21:10Speaker 1: and Jared uh reached out and donated things on your
- 21:14Speaker 1: own and and it's just incredible to see. I I
- 21:17Speaker 1: love you both. UH. Not just for that, but that's
- 21:19Speaker 1: just one of the reasons I love you. UM. But
- 21:22Speaker 1: it's really bad. And so just take a second today
- 21:25Speaker 1: think about anything you have laying around your house this holidays,
- 21:27Speaker 1: think about any way you can help. I know there's
- 21:29Speaker 1: stuff going on in your own neighborhoods, UM, but this
- 21:32Speaker 1: is a really bad situation. UM. Just to end this thought,
- 21:35Speaker 1: I was on a call two nights ago with a
- 21:37Speaker 1: group of people who are in Honduras and who are
- 21:39Speaker 1: leaders in their response, and it was clear that their
- 21:44Speaker 1: cities still UM that have not been contacted since the
- 21:49Speaker 1: first hurricane and are still flooded out, Meaning they're people
- 21:53Speaker 1: in communities that have had no aid, no assistance. UM.
- 21:57Speaker 1: The chances are they're probably entrees still trying to survive
- 22:01Speaker 1: or they're no longer with us. This is a catastrophic
- 22:05Speaker 1: issue and lives are endangered. And so just continue to
- 22:10Speaker 1: whatever you know, pray, support, think through this. But it
- 22:15Speaker 1: is not good and so keep everybody in Central American
- 22:17Speaker 1: your thoughts as we moved through this week. Is there
- 22:19Speaker 1: anything that's most helpful? I still feel so helpless in this,
- 22:22Speaker 1: even if like we are giving, I guess you can't
- 22:26Speaker 1: stop mother nature, But no, I think that the best
- 22:29Speaker 1: ways to help right now is to I mean, obviously
- 22:32Speaker 1: the always the most helpful because it allows a lot
- 22:34Speaker 1: more is like giving of donations, giving of aid, so
- 22:39Speaker 1: giving of material goods, and advocacy talking about it, sharing
- 22:42Speaker 1: about it, saying hey, uh, you know this is happening.
- 22:45Speaker 1: There's people's you know, unfortunately the governments in that area
- 22:49Speaker 1: aren't able to give the resources that the United States
- 22:52Speaker 1: maybe could to rescue people and help people, and so
- 22:56Speaker 1: UM advocacy on saying hey there's there's still people out there,
- 22:59Speaker 1: there's another urricane that's hitting, Um, what can we do?
- 23:02Speaker 1: And just ask that question and ask it with intention
- 23:04Speaker 1: of action, I think is the best way of I'm
- 23:06Speaker 1: asking the question can I help? What can I do?
- 23:09Speaker 1: Even if it isn't fixing the situation, it's helping the
- 23:12Speaker 1: situation and then going and take action on it. Um.
- 23:15Speaker 1: I wanted to say this because two Things Almost Famous
- 23:18Speaker 1: has been amazing in the response, but it's also not
- 23:21Speaker 1: ending and it's just getting worse and so super scary
- 23:24Speaker 1: for people down there. Keep them in your thoughts. Actually,
- 23:27Speaker 1: with that, let's let's take a break. Um, when we
- 23:29Speaker 1: come back, we're gonna break down this week's episode with
- 23:31Speaker 1: a baby. We'll be back with the Almost Famous podcast.
- 23:37Speaker 1: All Right, we got baby on the line. Hey Babyana,
- 23:39Speaker 1: how you doing? Hey Ashley, are you in Miami? I'm not.
- 23:44Speaker 1: I'm in Austin right now. What's in Austin? My friend?
- 23:49Speaker 1: Your friend? Is it a guy? Oh? She nods? Okay,
- 23:54Speaker 1: you can, but you can you. We won't ask any
- 23:57Speaker 1: more about that. We're gonna let your personal life be
- 23:59Speaker 1: personal as you are no longer on the Bachelor. No, no,
- 24:03Speaker 1: I can't do that. No, I can't do that. Baby.
- 24:06Speaker 1: How good a friend is this human? It's a good friend. Okay,
- 24:12Speaker 1: Oh that's great. Yeah, Okay, Well, um, we're really glad
- 24:16Speaker 1: that you're smiling and happy. Um, did you watch this
- 24:19Speaker 1: week of The Bachelorette? So I did not. I just
- 24:23Speaker 1: started catching up on tatious episode. I was actually trying
- 24:25Speaker 1: to watch this prior and Um, I'm I'm into Spence Spencer, Spencer. Yeah, well,
- 24:36Speaker 1: because she looks so happy. I mean, I'm at the
- 24:39Speaker 1: I literally I just saw the part where she gaves
- 24:42Speaker 1: like gives him the first impression Rose though, I've kind
- 24:45Speaker 1: of felt bad for the other guys because I'm like,
- 24:48Speaker 1: these people, they're the guys are probably having PTSD coming
- 24:51Speaker 1: from Yeah. Well, I'm thinking that these these villains that
- 24:57Speaker 1: they're creating or going to be like a week to week, like,
- 25:00Speaker 1: they're not true villains. They're just troublemakers for one week
- 25:03Speaker 1: and then we're supposed to totally forget that they ever
- 25:06Speaker 1: stirred up anything. Because if you want, when you watch
- 25:09Speaker 1: this week's episode, you'll see that Spencer has like he
- 25:12Speaker 1: doesn't talk, and it seems like we're just supposed to
- 25:15Speaker 1: forget that he was any sort of annoyance last week. Um,
- 25:19Speaker 1: and now this week's villain ish villain ish was Chasen,
- 25:24Speaker 1: so you'll see that when it unfolds. But since you
- 25:26Speaker 1: haven't watched the episode. I do want to just kind
- 25:28Speaker 1: of talk about your life. You recently came out about, um,
- 25:32Speaker 1: just the depression that you went through after being on
- 25:36Speaker 1: Bachelor in Paradise the last time. Yeah, I mean we've
- 25:40Speaker 1: come a long way. I'm definitely doing much better. And
- 25:42Speaker 1: then COVID kind of hit so I think it's just
- 25:45Speaker 1: taken me by storm, where I'm still trying to get acclimated,
- 25:48Speaker 1: Like I'm finally getting back to the gym because in
- 25:51Speaker 1: Miami they're really they're strict where you still have to
- 25:55Speaker 1: wear a face mask and it's very limited people. You
- 25:58Speaker 1: have to make a reservation like days in a vas
- 26:00Speaker 1: to be able to attend yoga. So I'm doing good. Okay, good,
- 26:04Speaker 1: Are you to Austin. I'm not moving to Austin. This
- 26:08Speaker 1: is like a temporary thing. I just came to visit
- 26:11Speaker 1: for the weekend. Well it turned into like I'm leaving
- 26:14Speaker 1: onesday instead of I was supposed to leave yesterday and
- 26:16Speaker 1: decided to stay a couple of days. Okay, Yeah, I
- 26:20Speaker 1: mean there's a lot of comfort food, so and there's
- 26:26Speaker 1: a lot of Mexican I love Mexican food and I
- 26:29Speaker 1: love comfort food, but when you're trying to just find
- 26:31Speaker 1: something healthy, it gets a little difficult. It's like the
- 26:34Speaker 1: only problem that I've kind of ran into where it's
- 26:36Speaker 1: just like what if I don't want to eat a
- 26:38Speaker 1: tacolt today? Well, you could keep feeding the booty baby,
- 26:44Speaker 1: because like I will be on Instagram and I see
- 26:47Speaker 1: your pictures and I'll be like, look at her. But
- 26:50Speaker 1: this is unbelievable. Seriously, you look fantastic. Nobody would ever
- 26:54Speaker 1: think that you were having a hard time go into
- 26:56Speaker 1: the gym. Oh no, I love I'm having a good
- 27:00Speaker 1: time right now. I mean it's the most that I
- 27:02Speaker 1: can have with everything that's happening. How are you guys,
- 27:06Speaker 1: I'm pretty I'm pretty good. I'm kind of liking this
- 27:09Speaker 1: work from home lifestyle. We're getting a lot more family
- 27:12Speaker 1: time in So how's married life? Actually, I'm so curious
- 27:18Speaker 1: all my friends that are like in really serious relationships
- 27:22Speaker 1: or married, I'm really curious to know, like, how did
- 27:24Speaker 1: you guys do through COVID And how's the transition with
- 27:27Speaker 1: like the honeymoon dating to Okay, now are in a
- 27:32Speaker 1: different stage. Well, I think that the honeymoon dating thing,
- 27:36Speaker 1: you know, that last like a good six months right,
- 27:38Speaker 1: and then Jared and I moved in around that time
- 27:42Speaker 1: when we were engaged, and then I think that our
- 27:45Speaker 1: relationship because it's easier and easier with time, to be honest. Yeah,
- 27:50Speaker 1: and and with COVID and quarantine, I will say that, like,
- 27:55Speaker 1: of all the months we've been together, probably late March
- 28:00Speaker 1: to late April was maybe the most difficult. But like
- 28:04Speaker 1: on a scale of like easy as heck, too diffic
- 28:09Speaker 1: really difficult, it's very low on the totem pole. But
- 28:12Speaker 1: you know, Jared was really anxious about COVID, Like it
- 28:15Speaker 1: just really got his anxiety up. He was so worried
- 28:19Speaker 1: about our parents. We were at my parents, so he
- 28:22Speaker 1: had adjust to life at his in laws, so you
- 28:26Speaker 1: could just like he just wasn't himself and he was
- 28:28Speaker 1: so quiet and like that kind of like what's going
- 28:31Speaker 1: on in your brain? Like that just kind of is
- 28:33Speaker 1: one of one of like that's probably when I find
- 28:38Speaker 1: relationships hardest, right, when somebody's just like having all this
- 28:41Speaker 1: built up anxiety. So that was like the hardest month.
- 28:44Speaker 1: But ever since, it's been so easy bruzy, like we're
- 28:47Speaker 1: really enjoying each other's gonna we have like separation anxiety,
- 28:50Speaker 1: you know when we're a part that's so cute. See
- 28:54Speaker 1: I know, actually you just mentioned this. This is something
- 28:58Speaker 1: that's really curious to me. Um As you get more
- 29:01Speaker 1: and more comfortable in your relationship, obviously you do show
- 29:03Speaker 1: Jared pictures of how beautiful did he is and you say,
- 29:07Speaker 1: look at this, Jared, how beautiful is this girl? What's
- 29:11Speaker 1: his response now that there's like a comfort there, how
- 29:14Speaker 1: does he is it awkward for him? Is he just
- 29:17Speaker 1: like like what does he say? Not? Really? He's like, yeah,
- 29:20Speaker 1: she's got a great ass. And it's like with like Tasha,
- 29:26Speaker 1: this is you know, I'll be like, holy crap, she
- 29:29Speaker 1: looks amazing. She looks like specifically amazing at the Rosaria
- 29:35Speaker 1: the Rosarymoty cocktail party in this episode, and he was like, yeah, wow,
- 29:39Speaker 1: this is the best she's ever looked. Yeah. So he
- 29:45Speaker 1: does good with it. Yeah, he doesn't do it as
- 29:47Speaker 1: well with me, though, like because he knows that I
- 29:50Speaker 1: don't know, like he does not He does not handle
- 29:53Speaker 1: it well when I talk about sleb guys being hot,
- 29:59Speaker 1: and I would actually think that it's the opposite. Normally,
- 30:02Speaker 1: you hear that the girl is more affected by it
- 30:05Speaker 1: than the guy. So it's kind of comforting to know
- 30:09Speaker 1: that guys can also feel this too. Yeah, I think
- 30:11Speaker 1: there's just like more openness for girls talking about how
- 30:14Speaker 1: other girls are right, it is true. And then if
- 30:17Speaker 1: a guy talked about that because he like, I don't
- 30:20Speaker 1: like we've been watching Secrets and Lies like that was
- 30:22Speaker 1: a show at air in two thousand fifteen. Um, I
- 30:25Speaker 1: loved it and I was like, Jared, I think you
- 30:27Speaker 1: should watch it. And Ryan Philippi is in it, and like,
- 30:30Speaker 1: he's just one of my top celebrity crushes. But like,
- 30:34Speaker 1: I know that I can't tell him. I can't be like, babe,
- 30:38Speaker 1: he looks so freaking hot now, because that's what he'll get.
- 30:41Speaker 1: He'll get really jealous and he's not going to be like,
- 30:45Speaker 1: you know what, You're right, he does look really hot now.
- 30:49Speaker 1: It's different act such a good it's such a good relation.
- 30:52Speaker 1: It is fun to hear this stuff. And maybe I
- 30:55Speaker 1: know that you have. You know, it's been a little
- 30:59Speaker 1: bit since anybody's inn in Paradise, but last time we
- 31:01Speaker 1: saw you was in paradise. How has your dating life
- 31:05Speaker 1: been since then? That's obviously always an important topic in
- 31:08Speaker 1: the bachelor world. What what's going on and how can
- 31:12Speaker 1: you update us? So I took a big break. I
- 31:15Speaker 1: was like, I'm in no position to date anyone right now. Um,
- 31:18Speaker 1: I didn't really want to see anyone. I kind of
- 31:20Speaker 1: just felt like I'm too much in a funk, you
- 31:22Speaker 1: know you want to I really thought that if I
- 31:24Speaker 1: want to attract someone into my life, I want to
- 31:27Speaker 1: make sure that I'm I feel good about myself before
- 31:31Speaker 1: I tried to find anyone else. And then I just
- 31:36Speaker 1: like I met someone at the beginning of this year
- 31:42Speaker 1: and it was just like through a friend, super casual.
- 31:45Speaker 1: I didn't put a lot of thought into it, and
- 31:48Speaker 1: it's ended up. It's it's worked out. It's kind of
- 31:50Speaker 1: just like build itself up gradually, and um, I've been
- 31:55Speaker 1: I told it's funny. I went to the dermatologist the
- 31:58Speaker 1: other day and she was like asking, I know why
- 32:00Speaker 1: I divulge so much information when I go to the
- 32:03Speaker 1: doctor's office. She's like my best friends with skincare. So yeah,
- 32:12Speaker 1: he's like every few months I'm seeing her. She's like,
- 32:15Speaker 1: what's new, And I'm like, I have a quarantine lover, like,
- 32:19Speaker 1: which is you know, more of a relationship, But um, yeah,
- 32:22Speaker 1: I've I'm glad that I took the break that I
- 32:25Speaker 1: did that I kind of just let my body and
- 32:27Speaker 1: my nerves do its thing. And this year has been
- 32:30Speaker 1: very nerve wracking for me. Um. So it's been good
- 32:33Speaker 1: to have a partner and a friend that understands my anxiety,
- 32:39Speaker 1: because I think that that's one of my biggest insecurities.
- 32:42Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys have ever like when
- 32:44Speaker 1: you're experiencing anxiety, I I tend to like not want
- 32:46Speaker 1: to be around anyone because I can't understand my feelings.
- 32:51Speaker 1: I want to process it, and like it's really vulnerable
- 32:55Speaker 1: to be around somebody else as you're kind of having
- 32:57Speaker 1: these mini padic attacks. Um. But I find it's like
- 33:02Speaker 1: the first time that I've actually been able to be
- 33:06Speaker 1: around someone go through those things and have someone's support
- 33:09Speaker 1: along with it, like right by my side. So it's
- 33:13Speaker 1: been it's been. I think it's been like a kind
- 33:16Speaker 1: of a gift from above to have someone throughout this year,
- 33:21Speaker 1: um when I would at least have expected, Like I
- 33:24Speaker 1: feel like I'm not the girl to like actually find
- 33:27Speaker 1: someone right before COVID, And you know, I'm not the
- 33:30Speaker 1: girl to find someone to actually understand my anxieties. And
- 33:34Speaker 1: I've been fortunate enough that this year I have and
- 33:37Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, fingers crossed because it's been um,
- 33:42Speaker 1: it's been good. Um, but I'm learning a lot about
- 33:45Speaker 1: myself a lot. Well, baby, how did um, how do
- 33:49Speaker 1: you meet this this person so super casual? I had
- 33:55Speaker 1: he we have one neutual friend and they were catching out.
- 33:57Speaker 1: They went to launch and she faced times me. I
- 34:00Speaker 1: happened to be right down the street from where they
- 34:02Speaker 1: were having lunch, and She's like, come on over, I
- 34:05Speaker 1: have someone you know for you to meet. And I
- 34:08Speaker 1: have so many friends that are so good at connecting people.
- 34:11Speaker 1: I didn't really think much of it. Um and I
- 34:14Speaker 1: went and we met, and she had to go off
- 34:17Speaker 1: to like another meeting, and him and I just ended
- 34:19Speaker 1: up hanging out. He doesn't live in Miami, so we
- 34:24Speaker 1: spent the day together kind of just walking around like
- 34:26Speaker 1: division area called Design District. We went to get some
- 34:29Speaker 1: ice cream, and then he ended up coming back to
- 34:31Speaker 1: visit Miami like a few weeks weeks later, UM to
- 34:36Speaker 1: hang out, and then ended up being in Miami a
- 34:39Speaker 1: little bit longer because of work and the kind of
- 34:41Speaker 1: the relationship just kind of like flourished from there and
- 34:45Speaker 1: then the pandemic hit. So we ended up quarantining together
- 34:52Speaker 1: through the pandemic because he came to visit, and so
- 34:54Speaker 1: it was like, well, do you get on a plane
- 34:56Speaker 1: now that everything's like shut down a little? Yeah, it is.
- 35:01Speaker 1: It's a quarantine lover in the best of ways. Now,
- 35:05Speaker 1: before let you go, I do want to dive into
- 35:07Speaker 1: one thing you mentioned. You've you've touched on the fact
- 35:10Speaker 1: that this year has been hard, that you have struggled,
- 35:13Speaker 1: um with feeling anxious, but it's been incredible to have
- 35:16Speaker 1: somebody there beside you. Have you identified yet what it
- 35:19Speaker 1: is that was making you feel anxious? Um? I think
- 35:23Speaker 1: listeners are always interested in kind of relating with with
- 35:27Speaker 1: those feelings. I think a lot of this experience it um. I.
- 35:31Speaker 1: It's funny the other day, UM, We're driving back from
- 35:34Speaker 1: lunch and I thought, why do I feel so much
- 35:38Speaker 1: like fear stirrup and my gut over the most minute things? UM,
- 35:42Speaker 1: And I near it. I was able to kind of
- 35:44Speaker 1: dig deep in near it down. I think it comes
- 35:46Speaker 1: from fear of like a little bit of social anxiety,
- 35:51Speaker 1: but linked to performance, so not being able to do
- 35:57Speaker 1: well in so didn't like even with this podcast, like
- 36:01Speaker 1: I was super nervous. I kept kind of going through
- 36:04Speaker 1: my head, like what am I going to talk to about?
- 36:05Speaker 1: On the What a Girl Wants Podcast, I review the
- 36:09Speaker 1: questions a thousand times, Like I was so nervous, I
- 36:11Speaker 1: didn't even do the work of like watching the rest
- 36:14Speaker 1: of the episode. So, um, I think it's a it's
- 36:17Speaker 1: a fear of performance. Really, it comes down to just
- 36:20Speaker 1: not being able to like tap into my like my
- 36:24Speaker 1: ideal self, like the potential, like you know, what you
- 36:28Speaker 1: could be doing. And I think that that's what limits
- 36:31Speaker 1: me the most, like comparing myself to my own expectations.
- 36:34Speaker 1: So that's where my anxiety really stems from. You speak
- 36:37Speaker 1: for a lot of people when you say that. Absolutely
- 36:41Speaker 1: well you, guys. You can hear more from Baby about
- 36:44Speaker 1: all her feelings and about dating on a special episode
- 36:48Speaker 1: of What a Girl Wants. It's a it's a new
- 36:51Speaker 1: I Heart podcast is a spinoff of Help by Second
- 36:53Speaker 1: Dating What a Girl Wants. Your episode is going to

- 37:23Speaker 1: didn't watch the episode, we'll recap the entire thing with Kendall.
- 37:27Speaker 1: Let's get her in it to the zoom right now. Hey,
- 37:29Speaker 1: Kendall Hullig doing, Hey good, how are you guys? So good? Kendall.
- 37:34Speaker 1: We're really pumped to have you here for a couple
- 37:36Speaker 1: of reasons. One is because, uh, we're gonna break down
- 37:39Speaker 1: this whole episode with you, and it's gonna be something
- 37:42Speaker 1: amazing because it is amazing. Um it was. I know
- 37:46Speaker 1: you just watched it this morning, so it's fresh in
- 37:48Speaker 1: your mind. Uh, you have really strong opinions, and so
- 37:51Speaker 1: that's gonna be something that's very helpful to us in
- 37:54Speaker 1: this podcast. But before we dive into that, I do
- 37:58Speaker 1: want to spend some time on what you're up to.
- 38:00Speaker 1: You have some really exciting things that are happening, and
- 38:03Speaker 1: it would be, um, it would be fair of me
- 38:06Speaker 1: not to mention them. You just came out with Just Curious,
- 38:10Speaker 1: a notebook of questions, which seems very on brand for you,
- 38:14Speaker 1: which makes me very excited for Uh, what is this
- 38:17Speaker 1: new project? So so yeah, it's coming out November eight.
- 38:22Speaker 1: But basically it's a collection of questions that I've accumulated
- 38:25Speaker 1: over time, and they're aimed to enhance connection and It's
- 38:30Speaker 1: just a notebook that I've had since forever that I've
- 38:32Speaker 1: just always collected questions. It was a really personal thing
- 38:35Speaker 1: that I would use on first dates or when I
- 38:38Speaker 1: met new people are at like parties and social gatherings
- 38:42Speaker 1: and um. Ever, since I brought it on the show
- 38:46Speaker 1: and people heard about it and I was talking about
- 38:48Speaker 1: eating human meat, I think it really picked up from there,
- 38:50Speaker 1: and so I thought, why not, why not publish it
- 38:53Speaker 1: and share with everyone? So then, can you give us
- 38:56Speaker 1: some like examples of what these questions are? Oh? Yeah,
- 39:00Speaker 1: I mean there's a hundred and fifty of them in there,
- 39:02Speaker 1: and they range from really silly to some really serious
- 39:06Speaker 1: hitting ones. Um. Some of my favorites. The one that
- 39:08Speaker 1: I always love to ask people when I first meet
- 39:10Speaker 1: them is at what age do you learn the most
- 39:12Speaker 1: about yourself? Because I feel like that really tells a
- 39:14Speaker 1: lot about where someone is or what a significant moment
- 39:18Speaker 1: in their life made them who they are now. So yeah,
- 39:22Speaker 1: this feels like an exercise that if somebody picked it up,
- 39:24Speaker 1: not only would be great for them to ask others,
- 39:26Speaker 1: but probably really cool to sit down, read and ask
- 39:29Speaker 1: yourself these questions. Definitely, I mean I even will I
- 39:33Speaker 1: even ask my twin sister these questions all the time,
- 39:36Speaker 1: and I learned new things about her every day. Um.
- 39:39Speaker 1: And she helps me come up with different questions too. Um.
- 39:42Speaker 1: And then it's funny because when people ask me the
- 39:45Speaker 1: questions back to myself, I almost don't expect it. Yeah,
- 39:49Speaker 1: I forgot that. Now I have to answer these questions too. Um.
- 39:52Speaker 1: But it definitely tells a lot about and I think
- 39:55Speaker 1: throughout my life I answer these questions differently every year
- 39:59Speaker 1: that I kind of revisit questions, there's always a different answer.
- 40:03Speaker 1: It's a really cool project and one that uh, you know,
- 40:06Speaker 1: we've been able to be around each other, um a
- 40:09Speaker 1: couple of times. And you are very curious human, which
- 40:12Speaker 1: is something that is one of my favorite traits in anybody.
- 40:14Speaker 1: You're a curious human who wants to get to know others. Uh.
- 40:17Speaker 1: If where can people find this? If this is sparking
- 40:20Speaker 1: their interests, So I have on my website kinda long
- 40:23Speaker 1: dot com. But um, also it's going to be on
- 40:25Speaker 1: Amazon as well, so and also some local bookstores. Really
- 40:32Speaker 1: awesome project, Kendle, This is super cool, Dan, this is
- 40:35Speaker 1: just curious A notebook of questions. I think it sounds awesome. Kendle,
- 40:40Speaker 1: congrats on the book. This is such a cool deal.
- 40:43Speaker 1: But we did bring you here not just to talk
- 40:46Speaker 1: about this really cool project, but to also make you
- 40:49Speaker 1: suffer through it and also sit with your opinions on
- 40:53Speaker 1: this week's episode. So, Ashley, you were the star of
- 40:56Speaker 1: this episode. You and Jared actually take it away. Oh,
- 41:00Speaker 1: we're not a star of the episode. That's Tasha. But yeah,
- 41:05Speaker 1: we were there and it was really fun. It was cool. Um.
- 41:09Speaker 1: We we loved our date. The breakfast part was absolutely
- 41:13Speaker 1: the best to see how these guys were, you know,
- 41:17Speaker 1: trying to incorporate Tassia's taste her fair breakfast foods um
- 41:22Speaker 1: and just like all the moves that they would make. Uh.
- 41:26Speaker 1: And I think I have to kind of defend ourselves
- 41:28Speaker 1: when it comes to us picking Bennett. Yeah, Bennett did
- 41:33Speaker 1: get apparently four of the math questions wrong. There was
- 41:37Speaker 1: a lot more questions asked, of course than aired. Um,
- 41:40Speaker 1: but we apparently didn't keep very very good track. Kendall,
- 41:43Speaker 1: would you think about us selecting Bennett as the winner
- 41:46Speaker 1: of the Grown ass Man competition? Um? Ben, it's really
- 41:50Speaker 1: growing on me. He was someone that I was really
- 41:52Speaker 1: excited to kind of get to know a little bit
- 41:54Speaker 1: more because I felt like on Clear Season, um, a
- 41:58Speaker 1: lot of the personalities of the guys didn't really have
- 42:00Speaker 1: a lot of time to shine. So I'm excited to
- 42:02Speaker 1: see that a lot of guys. Um. I mean, my
- 42:06Speaker 1: worst nightmare is a math challenge, so I feel like
- 42:09Speaker 1: I can relate to him not being good at math. Um.
- 42:13Speaker 1: But I mean I feel like in a situation like that,
- 42:16Speaker 1: he does seem to be a man and not a child.
- 42:20Speaker 1: So he's a man. He's very manly, he's very ely,
- 42:24Speaker 1: even if he does wear his robe to the cocktail party.
- 42:27Speaker 1: Oh especially, I thought that was a cool move. I mean,
- 42:30Speaker 1: it's funny not taking it. I mean, he's taking it seriously,
- 42:33Speaker 1: but he can also, you know, have fun with the
- 42:35Speaker 1: situation and poke fun of himself. Um. And so I
- 42:38Speaker 1: think that's something that I would have thought was really cool.
- 42:41Speaker 1: I thought it was hilarious. Now I will say this,
- 42:44Speaker 1: he really screwed up with kissing her in the moment
- 42:48Speaker 1: that he did. That was their first kiss, and it
- 42:50Speaker 1: was right after we gave him the Grown Ass Man
- 42:53Speaker 1: Award plaque. And I could see during his sit down
- 42:58Speaker 1: on the bed when he was serving her breakfast in
- 43:00Speaker 1: bed that he was trying to go in for the
- 43:02Speaker 1: kiss like multiple times, and I think she wasn't giving
- 43:06Speaker 1: the vibe back and uh, and that's fine because the
- 43:10Speaker 1: vibe she wasn't giving back, I believe because she didn't
- 43:13Speaker 1: want to do that in front of the other guys.
- 43:16Speaker 1: Why don't know. I was there first kiss, and I'm
- 43:18Speaker 1: almost surprised that was her first guests in front of everybody,
- 43:22Speaker 1: you know, I feel like that's a internate moment and
- 43:25Speaker 1: I'm surprised that he did that, But hey, you know
- 43:27Speaker 1: what he was. He was excited. Maybe he was like
- 43:30Speaker 1: pumped up after winning and he wanted to celebrate. And
- 43:34Speaker 1: I don't know, you don't blame him. She's active. We'll see.
- 43:37Speaker 1: There was another guy who kissed her during that day
- 43:40Speaker 1: to during the rope, but it didn't air, so I
- 43:43Speaker 1: think that he thought maybe he had an open door
- 43:45Speaker 1: to do to kiss uh. And I think she was
- 43:48Speaker 1: also a little thrown off still by his kiss um
- 43:51Speaker 1: when he was there at the cocktail party portion of
- 43:55Speaker 1: the day in the rope, and then before she could
- 43:58Speaker 1: even say her hellos, he was like, would you like
- 44:00Speaker 1: to go and continue what we were? What we were doing,
- 44:03Speaker 1: you mean make out some more. Maybe. Actually, this is
- 44:08Speaker 1: an important note though, before we move on to the
- 44:10Speaker 1: rest of the episode. I watched this thing and I
- 44:12Speaker 1: was like, this guy from Harvard, Uh, you can't do math,
- 44:16Speaker 1: which I get. Hey, I would give anxiety finance too,
- 44:20Speaker 1: I think. Now, I mean, there's obviously they can't show everything.
- 44:26Speaker 1: But did he get some questions right? At least? Can
- 44:28Speaker 1: we confirm that he didn't get all the questions wrong? Yeah,
- 44:32Speaker 1: I mean, of course, I think he probably equalled out
- 44:36Speaker 1: to um be to have just as many as Yeah,
- 44:41Speaker 1: I think that he answer just as many questions wrong
- 44:46Speaker 1: as the average amount, you know what I mean, Like,
- 44:49Speaker 1: I think every guy got about four questions wrong. So yeah,
- 44:55Speaker 1: he didn't stand out to us as having a hard time. Okay,
- 44:59Speaker 1: But he also didn't do the second challenge, the running
- 45:04Speaker 1: for the bouque. Yes, and he truly did have a
- 45:07Speaker 1: knee injury, like they came and told us, or like
- 45:09Speaker 1: he can participated. He has a knee injury. And I
- 45:12Speaker 1: don't know if I'm really allowed to say this, But
- 45:14Speaker 1: there was one other objective, Like, there was one other
- 45:19Speaker 1: class that we taught and they they didn't air it,
- 45:23Speaker 1: so there was actually for activities as part of that date.
- 45:28Speaker 1: So yeah, he yeah, I had a little bit. I
- 45:31Speaker 1: was personally little offended by that part though, because I'm
- 45:34Speaker 1: sure he has a knee injury. But I came onto
- 45:37Speaker 1: The Bachelor at like three months after having an a
- 45:40Speaker 1: cr replacement. In fact, I went to my audition tape
- 45:42Speaker 1: and crutches still like a week after surgery. So and
- 45:46Speaker 1: they were very protective of money. I want to say
- 45:49Speaker 1: that the show was very good about saying hey, like
- 45:51Speaker 1: if this pushed the limits, it's okay. But I still
- 45:54Speaker 1: had to do the boxing date, like I still got
- 45:57Speaker 1: my my stuff kicked in by Jared, Like you still
- 46:00Speaker 1: have to step up to the moment, like you only
- 46:02Speaker 1: get one shot at this girl. If you want it,
- 46:04Speaker 1: you're going to sacrifice the thing or two. So I
- 46:07Speaker 1: watched it and I was obviously I was. I was
- 46:09Speaker 1: watching it with Jessica's family, and I was like, I
- 46:13Speaker 1: was telling my you know, Golden Narrow Stores. It's like, no,
- 46:17Speaker 1: when I was on the show, I had to do this.
- 46:20Speaker 1: He's got to step up to But I don't really
- 46:22Speaker 1: matter at this point, you're done with one leg hobbled. Yeah,
- 46:28Speaker 1: that's right. We also see Ed has a his chronic
- 46:32Speaker 1: dislocation of his shoulders and he so huge. He had
- 46:38Speaker 1: to bail out of that one too. So it's a trend.
- 46:41Speaker 1: They're trying to keep these guys safe, all right. So
- 46:44Speaker 1: then the other like standout moments of the challenges was
- 46:49Speaker 1: when Jason took off his shirt and he called himself
- 46:53Speaker 1: the main course. I think this was the moment that
- 46:56Speaker 1: Ed was like, oh, I'm going to start ship with
- 46:59Speaker 1: this guy now. I think that, like Ed's issue with
- 47:04Speaker 1: Chason comes from jealousy. However, Chason ends up looking worse
- 47:11Speaker 1: I'd say more villainous in this situation, just because how
- 47:14Speaker 1: freaking seriously he took it and how he was most like,
- 47:16Speaker 1: come at me, come at me, Wolverine. He's obviously not
- 47:20Speaker 1: really good with confrontation. I feel like it could have
- 47:24Speaker 1: been handled in so many different ways, but it's hard
- 47:26Speaker 1: once the seat of doubt is planted to be able
- 47:29Speaker 1: to look past that or not to. I think we've
- 47:32Speaker 1: seen on the show before that once there is that
- 47:34Speaker 1: seat of doubt, it could be like the demise of
- 47:36Speaker 1: that person. He ended up really freaking out. He's like,
- 47:40Speaker 1: this can't be the end. I need to prove myself,
- 47:42Speaker 1: and he did it. I mean, whenever you try to
- 47:45Speaker 1: approach anything with violence or intimidation and it's not a
- 47:48Speaker 1: good look. And then, of course, like he chasing, I
- 47:54Speaker 1: understand him getting annoyed when Ed decides not to just
- 47:57Speaker 1: leave it at confronting him, but goes and just casually, oh,
- 48:02Speaker 1: nonchalantly being like oh yeah, Tasia. By the way, he
- 48:05Speaker 1: used the same adjective to describe you as he did Claire,
- 48:10Speaker 1: so I think he's just here for Instagram followers. And
- 48:13Speaker 1: at that point I'm like, all right, Jason, you have
- 48:16Speaker 1: the right to be annoyed at this, but again, it's
- 48:18Speaker 1: just the way you handle it. I mean, I'll come
- 48:21Speaker 1: out and say it. I've used the same adjective to
- 48:23Speaker 1: describe guys before, and of course, only the same adjectives.
- 48:26Speaker 1: I don't know how many adjectives. I mean, of course
- 48:28Speaker 1: I would use. But when you're first meeting someone, you're
- 48:31Speaker 1: beginning your relationship, you're going to use the same additives
- 48:34Speaker 1: like cute, handsome, smoke show. I don't know, but no, kindle,
- 48:39Speaker 1: don't go there. We can't go to smoke show was
- 48:42Speaker 1: a totally fine adjective. If a guy called me a
- 48:45Speaker 1: smoke show. I would be very flattered. I don't think
- 48:48Speaker 1: that's something you have to reserve for only one woman
- 48:50Speaker 1: as well. No, he said, I'm changing the adjective to
- 48:54Speaker 1: smoke show. About it. He's like, I've changed my adjective.
- 48:58Speaker 1: It is now smoke show and that's it now, which
- 49:00Speaker 1: you know, that's what he said. He said, I'm now
- 49:03Speaker 1: changing my adjective to smoke show. Okay, that's a little
- 49:08Speaker 1: the English that the English person he was like, uh no,
- 49:11Speaker 1: don't say that. Yeah, yeah, okay, now I get it.
- 49:15Speaker 1: That's awkward. So the episode sets up like this, right,
- 49:19Speaker 1: like they have this group date. There's this confrontation between
- 49:22Speaker 1: Ed and Chase, and it's really like the storyline of
- 49:24Speaker 1: that first group date. Um, it gets a little bit heated,
- 49:28Speaker 1: it gets really awkward, really hard to watch, and I'm
- 49:30Speaker 1: sure it was even harder to be a part of.
- 49:33Speaker 1: Like if you were a guy on the sidelines watching
- 49:35Speaker 1: that go down, You're like, this is ridiculous, This isn't okay,
- 49:38Speaker 1: this isn't gonna end anywhere good. I do want to
- 49:41Speaker 1: go before we move on the next day to say,
- 49:44Speaker 1: I was incredibly impressed. I have been impressed with how
- 49:48Speaker 1: Tastia handles these moments, given the fact that she steps
- 49:51Speaker 1: in without any kind of like I don't want to
- 49:54Speaker 1: say practice, it's not like practice, but you kind of
- 49:55Speaker 1: get your mindset in the place of the Bachelor or
- 49:59Speaker 1: the Bachelor. You watch past seasons and see how how
- 50:01Speaker 1: people handle it. You get really prepared. She just steps
- 50:04Speaker 1: in and she has her first confrontation, and her reaction
- 50:09Speaker 1: and her ability to navigate it is incredible. It is
- 50:13Speaker 1: and and just really well done. It doesn't demean either human,
- 50:18Speaker 1: but it also brings light to how just irresponsible and
- 50:23Speaker 1: in mature this moment is. I'm you know, after this
- 50:27Speaker 1: first day, I was even a bigger fantation than I
- 50:29Speaker 1: was before because of how she navigated the process. Yeah.
- 50:33Speaker 1: I like how she ended it, and she was saying
- 50:35Speaker 1: that she's just she trusts her intuition and that's what
- 50:38Speaker 1: she's going with. And I like the amount of confidence
- 50:41Speaker 1: she has in her opinion as supposed to taking everyone
- 50:44Speaker 1: else's opinion. Um, because as we've seen probably in past episodes,
- 50:49Speaker 1: jealousy can people try to pick at each other, right,
- 50:52Speaker 1: And so if you don't trust your own opinion, then
- 50:54Speaker 1: you trust other people's opinions. You end up regretting it,
- 50:57Speaker 1: and there could be a lot of like that resent
- 51:00Speaker 1: or maybe regret as not when you don't explore relationship
- 51:03Speaker 1: that deserves to be explored. Um. So I like that
- 51:06Speaker 1: she trusted her own gut as opposed to following the drama.
- 51:10Speaker 1: I agree with that. Uh, and let's talk about how
- 51:14Speaker 1: Ed wants to carry on the drama into the cocktail
- 51:17Speaker 1: party and the fact that Chason goes up and tries
- 51:21Speaker 1: to apologize. You could sense that, like the apology, people
- 51:25Speaker 1: didn't really want to take, but it was seemingly accepted
- 51:30Speaker 1: and everybody moved on. I said earlier in this episode
- 51:34Speaker 1: that it looks like these guys are going to have
- 51:36Speaker 1: like a fight. They're gonna look bad for a second,
- 51:38Speaker 1: and then everybody's going to forget about it at the
- 51:40Speaker 1: next moment. You agree, I was hoping. I was hoping
- 51:44Speaker 1: so because when he came up to Ed, he did
- 51:47Speaker 1: try to say sorry, But I don't feel like Ed
- 51:49Speaker 1: wanted it to end if he didn't, because Ed is
- 51:52Speaker 1: a man child, and as much as Chason looked ridiculous
- 51:55Speaker 1: in all this, there was a reason that Jared and
- 51:57Speaker 1: I gave him the man Child Award because he's thirty
- 52:00Speaker 1: six and wants to just get on somebody for something. Yeah,
- 52:05Speaker 1: and I think he won't be satisfied until um case
- 52:09Speaker 1: is gone. You know. I think his his goal was
- 52:12Speaker 1: to get him out of there, potentially maybe for jealousy issues.
- 52:15Speaker 1: It's hard to knowing it in the house, but it's
- 52:18Speaker 1: not an attractive look when someone takes jealousy and turns
- 52:21Speaker 1: it into like something malicious. Um. So yeah, man, child,
- 52:25Speaker 1: I'm glad you've be stowed that upon him. Thinks like
- 52:29Speaker 1: he's funny and ways for sure, but like you know,
- 52:32Speaker 1: he's not sticking around. He's not tatious person. I feel
- 52:36Speaker 1: like he's threatened by Jason, and I just wish that
- 52:38Speaker 1: Chason would it just realized, like, don't even don't even
- 52:44Speaker 1: bother getting a druma with this guy because he's not
- 52:46Speaker 1: getting anywhere. Yeah, I know, I know, but it's hard
- 52:50Speaker 1: because I feel like he sees it. He saw snowballing
- 52:53Speaker 1: and then freaked out in a situation like that when
- 52:55Speaker 1: you're when you're in a house, like I could leave
- 52:57Speaker 1: at the drop of a hat for any sort of thing. Um.
- 53:01Speaker 1: I think he he got like in fight or flight
- 53:03Speaker 1: and he ended up trying to fight it, and so yeah,
- 53:07Speaker 1: it's a really hard deal. Now. Typically in these moments, uh,
- 53:12Speaker 1: I like to watch the house's reaction, like what side
- 53:15Speaker 1: is the house on, because the when the numbers kind
- 53:19Speaker 1: of speak and everybody's against somebody, you know something else
- 53:22Speaker 1: is going on the two of you, I couldn't tell
- 53:25Speaker 1: which side the house was on where. I don't think
- 53:27Speaker 1: they liked the situation. I don't think they were thought
- 53:30Speaker 1: this was appropriate. But was most people against Chasen or
- 53:35Speaker 1: most people against Ed or just indifferent. I just think
- 53:38Speaker 1: most of the guys were against Chasing, probably because when
- 53:42Speaker 1: he comes to a point of conflict, he isn't I
- 53:46Speaker 1: don't think he went about the confrontation that well. He
- 53:50Speaker 1: ended up just saying things like chicken legs or just
- 53:53Speaker 1: poking fun at Ed, which then you end up being
- 53:56Speaker 1: the bully. So in in the face of confrontation, he
- 54:00Speaker 1: kind of showed an ugly side of himself. And I
- 54:03Speaker 1: think it's a natural defense for other guys to want
- 54:06Speaker 1: to protect the person who isn't taking cheap jobs. M Yeah,
- 54:12Speaker 1: I agree. I mean it was obvious Bennett was on
- 54:14Speaker 1: Ed's side. Uh. Another let's just moving on. But in
- 54:19Speaker 1: sort of related way. Zach was one of the guys
- 54:21Speaker 1: that went up and said like, Okay, guys, let's just
- 54:24Speaker 1: put the nail on the coffin on this argument, and
- 54:27Speaker 1: then he moved over into his one on one time
- 54:29Speaker 1: with Tasha. He seems stellar. He did a great job
- 54:33Speaker 1: in his one on one time with Tasia. Yeah, he's
- 54:36Speaker 1: really good at taking all the drama away and just
- 54:40Speaker 1: focusing on the relationship, and I think it shows his maturity.
- 54:44Speaker 1: She did say that he was really mature, and um,
- 54:47Speaker 1: I think she likes that in him, because I'm sure
- 54:49Speaker 1: Tasha doesn't waste her time with the drama she she
- 54:52Speaker 1: I also feel like Tasha actually really likes Jason. Um,
- 54:55Speaker 1: but this is like putting a damper on her relationship
- 54:59Speaker 1: with him, and she's kind of like, man like, get
- 55:01Speaker 1: over it. And it's refreshing to see other guys not
- 55:05Speaker 1: drag that into their time with her. Ben is a
- 55:08Speaker 1: guy that we see in each third of this episode. Uh.
- 55:14Speaker 1: She obviously hits it off off of him during the
- 55:16Speaker 1: group date, during the cocktail party, then during the Rosehammury
- 55:20Speaker 1: cocktail party again, they have like a pretty strong connection.
- 55:23Speaker 1: I have to say he's a little he's a little
- 55:27Speaker 1: phony for me. I feel like he's a little extra.
- 55:29Speaker 1: Am I the only one picking up on this? There
- 55:32Speaker 1: were some things that he said that seemed too Yes,
- 55:36Speaker 1: I mean romantic. You know. He was kind of like
- 55:40Speaker 1: when I see you walking, I just want to pull
- 55:42Speaker 1: you close to me, or yeah, it was a little much.
- 55:45Speaker 1: Is somebody is going to get for flowery language as
- 55:50Speaker 1: Chason did, it should be Ben. I feel like he's
- 55:54Speaker 1: the one that is just like la la la la,
- 55:56Speaker 1: like in Shock a Lot mood mode. I think he
- 56:00Speaker 1: was super pumped that Tasia was saying said that she
- 56:04Speaker 1: was attracted to him, and he just took that and
- 56:06Speaker 1: ran with it and was like, I'm going to be
- 56:08Speaker 1: that romantic guy. I am in it. Tasha was like like,
- 56:13Speaker 1: I like to keep it real, and He's like that
- 56:15Speaker 1: really resonates with me. He's like, oh really, is that
- 56:18Speaker 1: this deep profound thing ever? And there's so much of
- 56:21Speaker 1: that this episode of I'm the most honest you know me,
- 56:25Speaker 1: I'm the truthful guy, or I just like to keep
- 56:27Speaker 1: it real, Like what's the what does that even mean?
- 56:30Speaker 1: What's the opposite of that? Are you gonna go up
- 56:32Speaker 1: there and be like, you know what I'm actually the
- 56:33Speaker 1: type of guy's gonna be really fake. I'm gonna say
- 56:35Speaker 1: the right things, You're gonna really like it, and then
- 56:37Speaker 1: I'm not gonna ever believe it. Here's my take on
- 56:39Speaker 1: been though. I think Ben really likes Tasha, and I
- 56:43Speaker 1: think he's seeing that, and I think he's feeling things
- 56:46Speaker 1: and he's still attracted to her, and he doesn't know
- 56:48Speaker 1: how to respond, Like the only thing he can say
- 56:52Speaker 1: are the things that he thinks he should say, like
- 56:55Speaker 1: because he doesn't have he's right now, not in the headspace,
- 56:59Speaker 1: nor does he have maybe that like the game or
- 57:01Speaker 1: whatever to just like maturely, slowly walked through this. Because
- 57:06Speaker 1: I think he's thinking, I am give the guy who
- 57:09Speaker 1: benefit of doubt. He just was a part of something
- 57:11Speaker 1: where one guy steps and meets the bachelorette and she's
- 57:14Speaker 1: head over heels and they leave together a week later,
- 57:17Speaker 1: two weeks later, he sees it. Yeah, if I can
- 57:21Speaker 1: get if I if I'm feeling this way, I would
- 57:23Speaker 1: leave in a second with Tasia. She's beautiful, she's awesome,
- 57:26Speaker 1: she's incredible. If I could get her convinced that I
- 57:30Speaker 1: feel this way without you know, losing her, that I'm
- 57:34Speaker 1: going to be the happiest man ever. Instead he but
- 57:36Speaker 1: he is. He's coming off like he's trying really hard
- 57:39Speaker 1: and it's a little awkward to watch, but he's trying
- 57:42Speaker 1: really hard because I think he really likes her. Then
- 57:43Speaker 1: you you hit the nail on the head there. I
- 57:45Speaker 1: agree with you. It's like he's reading from like a
- 57:48Speaker 1: how to woo a girl handbook and just saying all
- 57:51Speaker 1: these things which sound isn't genuine, But you're right. I
- 57:54Speaker 1: think they are probably genuine. They're just coming out a
- 57:57Speaker 1: little awkward too much to Yeah. Yeah. Well, then we
- 58:03Speaker 1: see at the last part of the episode, during date
- 58:06Speaker 1: number you know, group date number two, he kind of
- 58:10Speaker 1: screws it up for himself because during the cocktail party,
- 58:13Speaker 1: he decides he's just gonna wait to the very end
- 58:16Speaker 1: so he has extra time with her. He's just gonna
- 58:19Speaker 1: sit back and enjoy himself, and well, we'll see what happens.
- 58:23Speaker 1: But we all know that that's the worst move and
- 58:26Speaker 1: it never looks good to the bachelorette because it signals
- 58:29Speaker 1: to her he's not fighting for time with her. M
- 58:32Speaker 1: and she did reward Noah for fighting for that time.
- 58:36Speaker 1: I feel like that's obviously something that's high in her
- 58:38Speaker 1: priority list is someone who puts themselves out there for her. Um.
- 58:42Speaker 1: And I think if Ben saw that, he probably he
- 58:44Speaker 1: could have gotten the rose because because Noah jumped over
- 58:48Speaker 1: the fence, she rewarded that by having him go on
- 58:50Speaker 1: the cocktail date and them knowing that, being like, I
- 58:52Speaker 1: have to put myself out there too. Um. So I
- 58:56Speaker 1: think she didn't feel like she was as desired after
- 58:58Speaker 1: they had such a strong connection, so I can understand
- 59:00Speaker 1: why she was upset. I also took it, I think
- 59:05Speaker 1: being got a little bit. I'm I'm assuming everything here,
- 59:08Speaker 1: but it looked like to me that he got in
- 59:10Speaker 1: his own head a little bit, and he because he
- 59:12Speaker 1: made a comment he said, I'm gonna save it to
- 59:15Speaker 1: the end. Then she's gonna be able to relax, have
- 59:18Speaker 1: a cocktail with me, just kind of take a breath
- 59:20Speaker 1: before she has to go back and give the rose.
- 59:22Speaker 1: Like if I were to if I were to say
- 59:24Speaker 1: that or think that when I was in a dating scenario,
- 59:27Speaker 1: what I'd be actually thinking is I'm actually a gift
- 59:29Speaker 1: to her, that my time with her as a gift
- 59:32Speaker 1: to her, that she's gonna be more relaxed, she's gonna
- 59:34Speaker 1: feel better about herself when she's with me, and so
- 59:37Speaker 1: I'm gonna let her do her thing. But I know
- 59:39Speaker 1: that we have such a great thing that if I
- 59:42Speaker 1: wait to the very end, she'll be able to just
- 59:44Speaker 1: like be herself for the first time all day. Which
- 59:47Speaker 1: I think he's miss reading the situation. Again. I think
- 59:50Speaker 1: he's getting in his own head. I think he's way
- 59:52Speaker 1: he thinks he's way farther along than this thing than
- 59:54Speaker 1: he is, and it's gonna backfire. It's gonna backfire so bad. Yeah,
- 59:58Speaker 1: I like the humbling man for him, though at least
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: she called him out on it, and now I think
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: maybe that awkwardness will subside a bit next episode, Oh
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: I think so. Yeah, kind of like defining himself as
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: like the cherry on top of the whole date, which
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: is it's not as humble and as I think, who
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: was it that had said that a true man is
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: humble or the in the episode, someone's like a true
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: man's like humble and kind. Maybe even Benson. Yeah, well,
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: it really it really got to him and it was
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: a very awkward moment to watch, but a very good moment.
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: I think we saw a very real moment for ben
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: where she goes, no, like I ain't Like, Okay, I've
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: been in that seat before. So here's a little because
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: the family was asking me about this as we watched it, Like,
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: I've been in tatiency and you have some incredible people
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: that you talked to, especially at this point in the show.
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: But these days are long, Like they're really long, and
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: I don't care if you're with your loved one, like
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: if you're married and you're in so much love, like
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: after all on day, it's hard sometimes to have a
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: conversation to like be back on with him. You just
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: want to sit there and be done with it because
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: it's been a long day. These days are long tations.
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: Sitting there, she's probably thinking, I've made it to the date.
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: I've gotten this out of this date what I've wanted.
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: I've gotten to know a lot about some of these guys.
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: It's been really good for me. But I'm tired, and
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: I want to go home and I want to sleep
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: because I do have another long day tomorrow. And so
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: when somebody looks at you in that moment at the
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: end of it all and goes, hey, can I just
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: can we just take some more time together? No matter
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: who it is. In your head, you're thinking absolutely not,
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: no chance, I don't want to and and he did it,
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: and you saw that moment for her, and I think
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: it was I think it was another great moment for
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: Taste where she goes no, like I'm tired and I'm
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: going home because I can't. Yeah. I love the way
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: she didn't get let him get away with it. Uh
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: So this this group date kind of like one of
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: those group dates that I don't think like proves much
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: about like what your conduction is going to be, you know, wrestling.
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: They're all get oily and kind of dazed out a bit, right.
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: It just like doesn't mean that much to me. It
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: doesn't say anything about like how they're going to evolve
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: into a couple. Right. Is there anything besides Noah injecting
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: himself as has tribute for ed that you think we
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: need to discuss about the actual ring? Um? I didn't
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: actually think it showed a lot of good character and
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: a few of the guys um with Joe and he
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: was joking around about the smack talk or didn't really
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: want to fight. I liked that element because it showed
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: that he's like, I'm a lover, not a fighter, and
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: I like that in a man, someone who doesn't enjoy
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: I don't know, like that whole like mask and I'm
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: gonna beat you up, Like that's not really my vibe.
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: And then Um Brendan was also someone that was more
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: kind in that situation. He Um when someone's like, oh,
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: I'm gonna beat you up, He's like, you probably will.
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: Like I thought it was, you know, like yourself, but
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: not man. Some guys like uping up their chest. I
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: was like, dude, like, chill it out a little bit.
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: I'm like you kid. I thought that was maybe one
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: of the most revealing parts of the episode, was this
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: interaction these guys are having. I mean, if you told
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: me that I was gonna get in a ring with
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: a bunch of those dudes and fight, I would be
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: so scared, Like I would be frightened. I would want
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: to know nothing to do with it unless it's survival
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: and I have to protect somebody I love. I don't
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: want to have anything to do with fighting. It just
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: doesn't feel it's not fun for me. I gave that
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: up in high school. So it was a really good moment,
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: I thought, especially for Joe, like that made me laugh.
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: It made me a like him a lot, Like he
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: was very endearing, he was funny. He's like, yeah, you're
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: gonna beat you know, all of you, You're gonna beat
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: me up, but like I'm gonna still get out there
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: and try. And I thought that was I thought it
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: was a really good show of character because they could
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: have in that moment stuck their chest out and tried
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: to act tougher and cooler and bigger, and that just
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: never it never comes And I don't I don't. I
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: don't know many women who find out attractive. No. Yeah,
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: when Chase did the same kind of thing where he
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: was trying to pop up his chest and be tough
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: when he was talking with Ed, it kind of figgered
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: me as well. And I was like, we're just living
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: a different world where you don't have to be, you know,
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: the person that wants to people beat someone up, Like,
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: there's so many other ways to go about confrontations. So
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: for me, I I always look for a man who
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: I think a true man to me is not being
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: the person that intimidates and that's buff and manly. It's
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: someone who can actually talk their way out of situations
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: and also show empathy and kindness. Yeah, I Jared and
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: I opened a whole can of worms with that grown
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: ass man theme. It really carried on. You know, this
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: is how a man is, how a man is. But yeah,
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: I don't think Jason's wolverine version is like the kind
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: of quality that is top on a woman's list of
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: male qualities these days. Do we know why that's a nick?
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: Do we have we have? Do we have any background
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: to that? Like how this wol like he referred to
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: a couple of times, like all of a sudden, he's
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: called himself the wolverine and he's doing some arm hard,
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: very very It could be costume that really just took off,
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: or maybe he even it was like a self stowed name.
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: You know, he's gonna be really cool thing going. Jason
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: just didn't seem to have like any sense of humor
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: about himself, Like there he just took himself so seriously
- 1:05:23Speaker 1: in this episode. Alright, But yeah, one of my highlights
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: of this part is definitely Noah getting into the ring.
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: He was just like he was just fun, like he
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: was having fun about it. And then after I think
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: he shined at the cocktail party when she said what's
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: up with the mustache? Right, and she's like, I'd like
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: to kiss you without a mustache. He leaves, he comes
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: back with the electric razor, has her do it. It
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: was playful. Um, it was just lighthearted. It was kind
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: of like a nice change of pace from like all
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: the serious, like heartfelt deep conversation sans and then he
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: looked so cute afterward she has he moved to the
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: He moved many spaces up on her list after he
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: shaved that mustache and then said like, hey, isn't the
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: whole point of this for you for us to have
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: a kiss without the mustache? And it's just like a
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: very cute moment. And I liked it. Yeah, I will
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: say I'm a mustache fan, Like I love mustaches on
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: on guys. So I was bummed. I was like, dang it,
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: that must I would have been like keep the mustache
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: everyone shaved to, you know. But the cool part about
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: Noah here too, though, is it felt like, and I
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: could be wrong, it felt like the very first moment
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: that we've seen with Tatia. Now, this isn't tatious fault
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: where a guy was really just being himself, like he
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: wasn't trying too hard. It was it looked very much
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: like a date that you would have outside of the show.
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: It wasn't pressured. He sat down. He's like, hey, I'm
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: gonna be myself. If you like it, that's awesome. If not, like,
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: that's okay too, But like until you tell me you don't,
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: then like we're gonna like He was just very calm
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: and collected, and it was the opposite of some of
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: the other guys where it felt forced. He's never did
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: and I actually didn't expect to like him as much
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: as he's one of my favorites. Now, yeah, it's really impressed.
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: He did. He did a great thing. He's fun to watch. Uh,
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: And I think that I have a theory about what's
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: going to happen with him next week. If you see
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: the scenes in the next episode, the guys are all,
- 1:07:28Speaker 1: you know, riled up because of something that Noah did. Well,
- 1:07:31Speaker 1: I don't know that it's really Noah. This is my theory.
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: He wasn't supposed to be on the date, right he
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: joined this date. Does that mean that he's disqualified from
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: being on the date card, whether it's a one one
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: or a group date for the next thing that arrives
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: at the house. Because remember if we're thinking like week wise,
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: this was the first date of the week, which means
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: that we should suppost we're supposed to have um one
- 1:07:57Speaker 1: one on one and another group date or maybe where
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: this is the week where we switch over to have
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: to to one on ones. What if, um, what if
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: Noah ends up getting another date this week? It wasn't technically,
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: I guess he jumped into the ring, but it wasn't
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: his choice to go on the cocktail party. I don't
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: see him saying I don't know him being like sorry.
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: Like we also saw in the past that other guys
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: kind of snuck into other dates too, So I don't
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: know if it would be sure if he wasn't able
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: to go on a date. What was he supposed to say? Sorry,
- 1:08:31Speaker 1: I respect for the guys in the house. I can't
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: go spend more time with you. What him like? How
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: dare he like she invited him and how dared he
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: come and get a rope? Was? It's like, no, he's
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: It just means like him and that's cool. Yeah. I
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: guess because he got the rose, he couldn't he's not
