Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous Podcast
0:03
Speaker 1: with i R Radio. Hello everyone, welcome to the Almost
0:08
Speaker 1: Famous Podcast. It's Ashley and Again. Today I am joined
0:12
Speaker 1: by my husband Jared, which you guys might be tired
0:15
Speaker 1: of us. And if you're like many people out there,
0:18
Speaker 1: you hear that it's the two of us again, you're like,
0:20
Speaker 1: I'm sick of you. I'm turning this podcast off. It's
0:22
Speaker 1: not my fault. We just found out that Ben couldn't
0:24
Speaker 1: be on the episode. So like you're like, hey, can
0:27
Speaker 1: you feel in Like, yeah, sure, that's the one thing
0:29
Speaker 1: Bachelor wants is more of us. That's the but's Bachelor
0:32
Speaker 1: Nation wants. Bachelor Nation wants more of us and not.
0:35
Speaker 1: So we got a lot of backlash, or we didn't
0:37
Speaker 1: really get a lot of backlash, but a lot of
0:39
Speaker 1: you out there did not want to see a married
0:41
Speaker 1: couple on the beach. Yeah, it was pretty evident, which
0:44
Speaker 1: makes me sad. It just makes me sad that I
0:47
Speaker 1: think we both thought when we went down to Paradise
0:49
Speaker 1: that we were just going to go down and we'd
0:51
Speaker 1: be one of the you know, the former couples that
0:53
Speaker 1: always go down and we're there for a lit while
0:55
Speaker 1: we're not gonna get much screen time. It's just more
0:57
Speaker 1: for us, and then we have the opportunity to kind
0:59
Speaker 1: of hang out and on a date. But even when
1:01
Speaker 1: we were still down there, I think you and I
1:02
Speaker 1: both were both under the oppression that, like, well, they're
1:05
Speaker 1: not gonna like we're not gonna get shown that much,
1:07
Speaker 1: which is totally fine. This is more of like a
1:10
Speaker 1: cool thing that we can look back on. And we
1:11
Speaker 1: went on a date, and we're so grateful for Bachelor
1:14
Speaker 1: and the producers and everybody being able to bring us
1:16
Speaker 1: down there and take such a care of us. And
1:19
Speaker 1: you know, we're a success story, if you want to
1:21
Speaker 1: phrase it that way. And it was it was so lovely,
1:25
Speaker 1: and I thought when we watched we were going to
1:26
Speaker 1: watch it back. It was just going to be kind
1:28
Speaker 1: of nothing but more for us in our family and
1:30
Speaker 1: being able to watch it back and no one would
1:32
Speaker 1: really care, which is totally fine by us. We'd get
1:34
Speaker 1: some people say, oh my god, Jared Ashley again, and
1:36
Speaker 1: then some other people say, oh, it's so nice to
1:38
Speaker 1: see them again, and then that would be it. I
1:40
Speaker 1: don't know, to get as much screen time as he didn't.
1:42
Speaker 1: He didn't think that we were going to get as
1:43
Speaker 1: much screen time, and I did because I could feel
1:46
Speaker 1: that they were using certain storylines. I knew that they
1:48
Speaker 1: wanted to do like the whole like are they going
1:50
Speaker 1: to utilize the boom boom room? And I knew my
1:52
Speaker 1: farts were going to play a big role. And I
1:54
Speaker 1: was really excited about our day, Like I knew our
1:56
Speaker 1: day it would be very funny. We thought it was funny.
1:59
Speaker 1: A lot of you guys thought we were boring as hell,
2:01
Speaker 1: and that's fine. I don't I don't think anybody said
2:04
Speaker 1: it is more people just didn't like that we were
2:07
Speaker 1: feeler content, or they thought that we were feeler content.
2:09
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are a little frustrated
2:12
Speaker 1: of how stretched out the show is right now, because
2:15
Speaker 1: let's be honest, we're going into episode five tomorrow, right
2:19
Speaker 1: So this is the third week there's been one road
2:23
Speaker 1: ceremony and you guys um just previewing for you. You
2:26
Speaker 1: won't get another road ceremony until Monday. We leave on Monday. Okay,
2:30
Speaker 1: everybody happy we're here for the whole summer. Would you
2:33
Speaker 1: guys think we're Some people think that we are gonna
2:35
Speaker 1: hang longer. We're not. And and furthermore, any I have
2:42
Speaker 1: a little bit of a theory, Okay, go for I think, um,
2:47
Speaker 1: this is the minority. Let me say that the majority
2:50
Speaker 1: of people who watched the show and support the show
2:53
Speaker 1: and come to Audrey's to support us, You guys are
2:56
Speaker 1: awesome and wonderful people, and I love you so much
2:59
Speaker 1: because of because truthfully, like we said, without you, without
3:03
Speaker 1: the people who support the show, who support us, there
3:05
Speaker 1: is no Audreies. Uh. And you guys have done such
3:08
Speaker 1: wonders for us and made our lives better. You've made
3:10
Speaker 1: Dawson's life better. You made Dawson's life to a certain degree.
3:14
Speaker 1: I guess, well, oh no, I guess that's a little
3:17
Speaker 1: bit of a strata. Sorry. I was thinking like, if
3:20
Speaker 1: it weren't for Bachelor fans, that maybe you and I
3:22
Speaker 1: would have ever been on the show, and that we
3:23
Speaker 1: would have never had Dawson. But for the very loud
3:27
Speaker 1: minority who continued to say, um, oh my god, I
3:31
Speaker 1: don't want to see a married couple on here. Give
3:34
Speaker 1: the date to people who actually need it and single people.
3:37
Speaker 1: Just be honest with us and yourselves. You don't watch
3:40
Speaker 1: the show for love, which is totally fine. You watch
3:41
Speaker 1: it for drama. As long as you can admit that,
3:43
Speaker 1: then it's fine. Because what makes me frustrated is that
3:47
Speaker 1: people will say, oh, I watched the show for love,
3:50
Speaker 1: but love doesn't end when people leave the beach. And
3:53
Speaker 1: I'm sure that you can relate to that if you're
3:56
Speaker 1: watching the show and you've been in love and you've
3:58
Speaker 1: had long term relationships. Love evolves, love changes, It just
4:02
Speaker 1: doesn't stop. So when Ashley and I had the opportunity
4:04
Speaker 1: to go back down and spend some quality time together
4:06
Speaker 1: and really open up in ways that we haven't opened
4:08
Speaker 1: up in a little while, probably since our honeymoon wedding,
4:12
Speaker 1: because let's face it, we get into the mundane nous
4:15
Speaker 1: of day to day life and we don't talk about
4:17
Speaker 1: how we feel or what the other person means to me.
4:20
Speaker 1: You know. Of course I tell Ashley every day how
4:21
Speaker 1: much he's very good with words of affirmation, but I
4:24
Speaker 1: just say, hey, listen, you're a great mom, you're a
4:26
Speaker 1: great wife, and I love you and I appreciate it
4:28
Speaker 1: does well, thank you so much. And Ashley of course
4:31
Speaker 1: says that to me and it means the world to me,
4:32
Speaker 1: But we never really get into the depth of, hey,
4:35
Speaker 1: this is how you make me feel, this is why
4:36
Speaker 1: you make me feel that, this is why you're so
4:38
Speaker 1: important to me. And we had the opportunity to do
4:40
Speaker 1: that on the beach and share a moment and talk
4:42
Speaker 1: about Dawson. Um. So for me watching back that date
4:47
Speaker 1: meant a lot and it gave me a lot of happiness.
4:52
Speaker 1: Um because I remember having that conversation with Ashley and
4:57
Speaker 1: how great it felt just to be able to say
5:01
Speaker 1: some of the things that frankly are tough to say
5:04
Speaker 1: because they're awkward, and in that environment they're not awkward
5:08
Speaker 1: because you're forced to talk about super strange how that
5:12
Speaker 1: conversation over dinner the next town over at the spot
5:16
Speaker 1: that you like going to. We would do it to
5:19
Speaker 1: a certain extent, but you would never get to the
5:22
Speaker 1: point of crying. No, of course, And we talked about
5:24
Speaker 1: Dawson and you know what parents we want to be,
5:27
Speaker 1: and how much we look up to our parents and
5:29
Speaker 1: how impactful they are. Those are the kind of conversations
5:31
Speaker 1: that you and I would have on dates before we
5:34
Speaker 1: were ever married, and even not to that depth. You know,
5:38
Speaker 1: neither one of us would start crying. Well, there was
5:40
Speaker 1: one time we actually went to a beach and we
5:43
Speaker 1: did start crying about the same time. What was that
5:45
Speaker 1: You don't remember that? Um, we were in what's the
5:50
Speaker 1: area that I used to like with the boats. Okay,
5:52
Speaker 1: that's how figured it's in l A. Yeah, I don't
5:54
Speaker 1: remember crying. You We totally cried. It was a very
5:58
Speaker 1: similar moment, but it was like for years ago before Dawson.
6:01
Speaker 1: It was before we were married. So anyway, that's my
6:03
Speaker 1: two cents on it. I have a little bit more
6:05
Speaker 1: of two cents. What I want to say that the
6:08
Speaker 1: fan reaction isn't going to take away like that moment
6:11
Speaker 1: for us. We're still like so glad that we went
6:13
Speaker 1: down there, and I think like right now we're a
6:16
Speaker 1: little disappointed. We're just sad, like it has a bad
6:18
Speaker 1: taste in our mouth, you know, just because like people
6:21
Speaker 1: didn't enjoy it as much as we enjoyed it. And
6:23
Speaker 1: I know that like you shouldn't let what like fan
6:26
Speaker 1: reaction like affect your feelings towards those moments at all,
6:29
Speaker 1: but I think like it's natural to do that. Well,
6:32
Speaker 1: I think it was a special day for us, and
6:35
Speaker 1: that place is a special place for us, even through
6:37
Speaker 1: all the difficult times and the hard memories. There's foundations
6:41
Speaker 1: built on that beach that have led to our ultimate
6:45
Speaker 1: marriage and parenthood. So of course, through all the good
6:48
Speaker 1: and the bad, that places a special meaning to us.
6:51
Speaker 1: So being down there is always gonna uh be meaningful.
6:55
Speaker 1: And so when people react to it in such a
6:58
Speaker 1: negative manner um, and it's like, I trust me. Even
7:03
Speaker 1: watching the episode, I was like, holy crap, we are
7:06
Speaker 1: getting a ton of airtime. According to Bachelor data, the
7:09
Speaker 1: Instagram account, we did get the most amount of airtime
7:12
Speaker 1: in that episode, which is crazy. But I'm not gonna
7:15
Speaker 1: be apologetic about it. I mean, first of all, it's
7:18
Speaker 1: not our decision. Secondly, you know, we like guys of
7:24
Speaker 1: sixteen episodes, like sixteen episodes that they had to be creative,
7:27
Speaker 1: they wanted to come up with something different. They tried
7:30
Speaker 1: it with us, and apparently they're not gonna do it again.
7:34
Speaker 1: The grand scheme of things. I mean, we're barely on
7:37
Speaker 1: this season because we leave very soon, and when we
7:41
Speaker 1: leave there's still episodes. Yeah, we're not even close to
7:46
Speaker 1: halfway through yet. And let's be clear, we didn't steal
7:49
Speaker 1: a date from anyone that was our date. They they're
7:53
Speaker 1: the Bachelor producers, they're able to give as many date
7:56
Speaker 1: cards and create as many date moments as they want.
7:59
Speaker 1: We didn't steal anyone states. And like we've said a
8:01
Speaker 1: million times on on multiple podcasts, and like everybody says,
8:05
Speaker 1: going on dates sometimes it certainly doesn't hinder your relationship,
8:09
Speaker 1: but you can actually build more of a foundation on
8:12
Speaker 1: the beach of paradise then going on a date where
8:15
Speaker 1: they separate you and cars and then you do this
8:17
Speaker 1: activity and then you talk and then you go back
8:19
Speaker 1: and separate cars where you can just hang out on
8:21
Speaker 1: the beach together and really, you know, build a dates
8:24
Speaker 1: aren't as critical and paradise as they would be on
8:27
Speaker 1: the main show. And it's just like it's a show,
8:30
Speaker 1: so of course there's going to be certain elements that
8:32
Speaker 1: like let's give a date to Ashley and Jared. Okay, great,
8:35
Speaker 1: and we're not going to say no to that. Do
8:37
Speaker 1: out of your minds. We have had moments like this
8:40
Speaker 1: of course in the past, and like like um Our
8:44
Speaker 1: Engagement was one of them. We watched Our Engagement, we
8:46
Speaker 1: were like so bummed out that it went the way
8:49
Speaker 1: that we thought, like the way that it was on TV.
8:53
Speaker 1: And I feel like for us, this will just be
8:54
Speaker 1: like one of those moments. It's like we have a
8:56
Speaker 1: little disappointment after watching it, and then a year from
8:59
Speaker 1: now we'll be like, oh my god, we won't even
9:01
Speaker 1: remember how it went over on TV. We'll just have
9:05
Speaker 1: the actual memories. I think it's it's listening again. Don't
9:10
Speaker 1: feel bad for us. We are so lucky. This is
9:13
Speaker 1: not This is us just talking about it because Ashley
9:17
Speaker 1: asked me like four to minutes ago, hey can you
9:19
Speaker 1: host a podcast? I need a coast And then it's like, okay,
9:21
Speaker 1: let's talk about this because this we're literally living through
9:24
Speaker 1: it right now. We just watched the episode last night
9:27
Speaker 1: and we're fine. I don't want people to think that
9:31
Speaker 1: we're like super upset. Well, we know we're weird, weird,
9:35
Speaker 1: I don't know. We have a beautiful son. People to
9:40
Speaker 1: feel bad for us, Like people are going to listen
9:43
Speaker 1: to this and have like a whole bunch of feelings.
9:45
Speaker 1: I feel like they're gonna be like, oh, so they
9:47
Speaker 1: wanted us to like them so bad. It's like, well, yeah,
9:50
Speaker 1: I think it's human nature. We want you guys to
9:53
Speaker 1: like us. It's not so much that we want you
9:54
Speaker 1: to like us. We just didn't want you to absolutely
9:57
Speaker 1: hate us being on the show. It makes us sad
10:01
Speaker 1: and makes it I mean, think about if you went
10:03
Speaker 1: to a party and then somebody was saying to your
10:09
Speaker 1: saying to you because obviously we re comments like yeah, god,
10:12
Speaker 1: we don't want you here. We just don't want you here.
10:15
Speaker 1: Thank you for that comparison. That's exactly. It's like, well, okay,
10:18
Speaker 1: that makes me sad, you know, so sorry, Yeah, of
10:21
Speaker 1: course that stuff makes us sad when people just continuously
10:25
Speaker 1: caption or comment under tags, like it's not like we're
10:29
Speaker 1: searching for things, guys, Like, we're tagged in these things
10:31
Speaker 1: so literally we get notifications if I just go on
10:34
Speaker 1: my timeline, it's like these things are being said to us,
10:37
Speaker 1: being like god, these get him away, nobody wants you here.
10:41
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, all right, well that's we're not that
10:44
Speaker 1: they're taking up that much time. Guys, I promise if
10:47
Speaker 1: that's but thank you for that comparison to the party.
10:50
Speaker 1: That's exactly how we feel. We felt really cool and
10:52
Speaker 1: really excited to get invited to this party, and we
10:58
Speaker 1: play into it. We're like, guys, we we're old and
11:00
Speaker 1: nobody cares about us. It's not like we walked in thinking,
11:02
Speaker 1: all right, guys, listen up, we have all the answers.
11:05
Speaker 1: Talk to us. We know what to tell you. It
11:07
Speaker 1: was more like we walked in, we were like, we're
11:09
Speaker 1: not that cool, but we're just gonna kind of hang out.
11:11
Speaker 1: We got invited. We're so excited. We needed this time.
11:14
Speaker 1: And then it was just like get get out, and
11:16
Speaker 1: you know what. The cast out and there was so awesome.
11:19
Speaker 1: They're the best. Yeah, that's what's sad is that they
11:22
Speaker 1: made us feel so welcome, made us feel so welcome.
11:24
Speaker 1: There's so like I remember Andrew, I'll never forget. Andrew
11:28
Speaker 1: was sitting at the picnic table when we were talking,
11:30
Speaker 1: and uh, he said that it was so nice. It's
11:33
Speaker 1: so nice having you guys here because you guys are
11:36
Speaker 1: so comforting, you know, because he's like, it's a stressful
11:38
Speaker 1: environment and you two are just here and you know,
11:41
Speaker 1: and he said that we're comforting and I was like, damn,
11:44
Speaker 1: that's so sweet. It's so sweet. So anyway, people are
11:48
Speaker 1: probably just like, holy guys, you're just talking about yourself
11:51
Speaker 1: even more. And we're hosting the podcast, so we can
11:55
Speaker 1: talk about this for ten minutes and now we'll move on.
11:57
Speaker 1: And I have to say, I can say one more thing,
11:59
Speaker 1: name one more thing. Mhm um, it's sad. Well the
12:03
Speaker 1: last thing that's sad. I'm sorry, so sad. That's sad.
12:06
Speaker 1: You guys can fast forward through farting and appeeing and
12:08
Speaker 1: all that stuff. And of course the moment was important
12:13
Speaker 1: for us to have the conversation on the beach for us,
12:16
Speaker 1: and we'll remember the conversation forever and all that. But
12:19
Speaker 1: it's sad to hear that you guys would fast forward
12:21
Speaker 1: through that one because that was like a that was
12:24
Speaker 1: a bachelor moment that I would think that anybody who
12:27
Speaker 1: like really likes the show for love would love. I
12:31
Speaker 1: would agree, And that's why I think, Um, listen, people
12:35
Speaker 1: watch the show for all different reasons, for drama and
12:37
Speaker 1: for love, and I totally get that. But I think
12:40
Speaker 1: the idea that it's like, oh, we don't you know
12:45
Speaker 1: first if if I guess what frustrates me is people
12:48
Speaker 1: will come up and say, like, we love the love.
12:51
Speaker 1: That's what we want to say, we love, we want
12:52
Speaker 1: to see love, and it's like, yeah, well, as you
12:55
Speaker 1: guys probably know a lot of you are married, love evolves,
12:58
Speaker 1: love changes, and you're really need to continue putting effort
13:01
Speaker 1: into love. It's not like you fall in love on
13:04
Speaker 1: the beach and then you leave and then it's like,
13:05
Speaker 1: all right, guys, well that was fun, you know, like
13:07
Speaker 1: their love stories. Over of course it's not. And so, um,
13:11
Speaker 1: you know, I thought the idea of them bringing back couples,
13:14
Speaker 1: and trust me, I felt that they were going to
13:16
Speaker 1: do this with more couples. But definitely I thought it
13:18
Speaker 1: was gonna be like one couple of week. Maybe. Yeah,
13:21
Speaker 1: we didn't think we're gonna be on the ones. I
13:22
Speaker 1: don't even got there. Then we realized it was going
13:24
Speaker 1: to only be us. But well, truthfully, I know, I
13:26
Speaker 1: don't know if it's just us. Do they bring I
13:28
Speaker 1: don't know, do you bring past couples? But nobody sleeps
13:30
Speaker 1: over like we did. It's gonna be a lot of
13:32
Speaker 1: a lot of appearances cameos, but there's there's nobody who
13:37
Speaker 1: sleeps over. Um. So anyway, those are our two two
13:40
Speaker 1: cents about it. But once again, um, we also got
13:43
Speaker 1: some nice comments, so I want to thank everybody who
13:45
Speaker 1: did say nice things. It means a lot to us.
13:48
Speaker 1: Um and uh, at the end of the day, it's okay,
13:51
Speaker 1: and I can't fault to the producers stre even thinking
13:54
Speaker 1: it was going to be a good idea because all
13:57
Speaker 1: of you or not maybe not all of you, but
13:59
Speaker 1: hate to general rise, but a lot of you follow
14:01
Speaker 1: the couples on Instagram afterward because you want to see
14:05
Speaker 1: where their relationship leads, and you like following that lifeline timeline,
14:11
Speaker 1: So naturally I would think that they like that seems
14:14
Speaker 1: like a good idea, like let's put one of those
14:15
Speaker 1: couples on there. But I guess not a good idea anyway. Sorry, party, No,
14:21
Speaker 1: and it's not meant to be I mean, but let's
14:25
Speaker 1: face it, it was a pretty big topic of conversation
14:27
Speaker 1: over the past twenty four hours watching Paradise, and then
14:30
Speaker 1: we're hosting this podcast, so we're gonna talk about it
14:33
Speaker 1: for ten or fifteen minutes, and now we'll move on.
14:36
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about Laced Rodney. So let's take
14:40
Speaker 1: a break and then we'll talk about Laced Rodney. Okay,
14:54
Speaker 1: So the episode starts with Rodney basically being told like
14:59
Speaker 1: Teddy's gone, uh, so you can date around now. He
15:02
Speaker 1: decides not to take anybody on the date with him.
15:06
Speaker 1: He's going to hang around and get to know some
15:08
Speaker 1: of the girls, and he and Jill are kind of
15:10
Speaker 1: hitting it off. He's like, wow, Jill, you're pretty awesome.
15:13
Speaker 1: We should have gone on this date. Jill's getting her
15:15
Speaker 1: hopes up, and then Lace brings him down to the
15:19
Speaker 1: bar or like has a moment at the bar and
15:22
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, everybody looks over and they're making out.
15:25
Speaker 1: Lace made a great move though. She was having her
15:28
Speaker 1: flirt her like flirt meter was perfectly tuned on. Does
15:34
Speaker 1: that make any sense, No, but you know what I mean,
15:37
Speaker 1: Like she turned it on and she turned on. Well
15:40
Speaker 1: you know how you'd have those moments where like sometimes
15:43
Speaker 1: like when we first met, I could not do it.
15:47
Speaker 1: I couldn't flirt, couldn't have a conversation. Yeah, once I
15:51
Speaker 1: got comfortable with you, not like the first couple of days.
15:54
Speaker 1: This girl, she was ready set go and it worked
15:58
Speaker 1: on him. Yeah. It was out of left field, the
16:01
Speaker 1: whole Lace and Rodney thing, because we thought we were,
16:04
Speaker 1: you know, shipping Jill Lynn Rodney, Lace came in started
16:07
Speaker 1: making out with them. Were asleep, but we were asleep,
16:10
Speaker 1: of course, we were asleep for half these things. But
16:14
Speaker 1: love Lace. It's so weird being in paradise and having
16:16
Speaker 1: friends with so many people because you're like, oh, Jill,
16:18
Speaker 1: I want you to be with Rodney, and then Lace
16:20
Speaker 1: makes out with Rodney and you're like, well, I want
16:22
Speaker 1: Lace to be happy too, So I guess we're playing
16:25
Speaker 1: so many teams. We felt so like we basically if
16:27
Speaker 1: anybody came up to us and was like, I want
16:29
Speaker 1: to do with so and so, we'd be like, we
16:30
Speaker 1: want you to be with so and so. Of course
16:32
Speaker 1: we do, but the problem is everybody's dating each other.
16:35
Speaker 1: I love Lace, she's the best, she's great for TV,
16:37
Speaker 1: she's a great in person. So I'm shipping Lace and Rodney.
16:40
Speaker 1: And as Well said, it's an unconventional devil. That's well said,
16:44
Speaker 1: there's always one couple each season that takes everybody by surprise,
16:48
Speaker 1: and that's definitely that feels like Rodney Lace. We'll see
16:50
Speaker 1: how long it lasts. Next couple that we want to
16:54
Speaker 1: talk about is well the Genevieve Aaron justice In situation.
17:02
Speaker 1: Holy crap, this is a lot. This is a lot
17:04
Speaker 1: of this episode. Was this triangle, Yeah, the triangle between
17:08
Speaker 1: Justin Aaron Genevieve. I feel like it's uh there, uh okay,
17:17
Speaker 1: Basically I think I know what it's going to say,
17:20
Speaker 1: Justin and Genevieve seemed to be trying way too hard
17:23
Speaker 1: for a couple who only had a thing and only
17:25
Speaker 1: seemed happy on night one, and even that great. I
17:28
Speaker 1: don't think they were that great. Did he went on
17:30
Speaker 1: that day with Victoria? Yeah? I know? And then you
17:33
Speaker 1: know he came back, Johnny was going to give his
17:36
Speaker 1: roast to Victoria. Definitely want to proceuse things to Victorious.
17:38
Speaker 1: But then Justin gave Genevieve the rose, and then there's
17:43
Speaker 1: this expectation that like maybe they were going to continue
17:47
Speaker 1: try again, but they just seemed why you guys trying
17:51
Speaker 1: so hard? There was nothing to fight for here. Yeah,
17:53
Speaker 1: and Aaron came in and was like, I want to
17:55
Speaker 1: take you on a date, and he was, you know,
17:58
Speaker 1: steadfast on Genevieve. Justin simply annoyed the fact that he
18:03
Speaker 1: gave a rose to Genevieve, and you know, now here
18:06
Speaker 1: where is he getting his rose? I can't say it, Creek,
18:10
Speaker 1: you can, oh, yeah, we should be able to say it.
18:12
Speaker 1: I feel like, um, yeah, so, I mean I get
18:16
Speaker 1: that Justin's annoyed by that, but I think that that
18:18
Speaker 1: was the risk he took by giving Genevieve that rose.
18:22
Speaker 1: That's just the risk you take in Paradise with basically
18:24
Speaker 1: every rose gave out. It's also you gave a rose
18:27
Speaker 1: to someone that you didn't go on a date with.
18:29
Speaker 1: Let me think about that. He went on a date
18:31
Speaker 1: with Victoria? Was that was that after the ros ceremony?
18:33
Speaker 1: That was that was before the rose ceremony. It was
18:36
Speaker 1: like seven episodes ago, I'll forget everything, Um, just kidding.
18:41
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, so okay, hold on. So he gave the
18:44
Speaker 1: rose to Genevieve and then went on a date with Victoria. No,
18:48
Speaker 1: Victoria came on before the rose. Annoyed babe, is that
18:53
Speaker 1: he gave his rose to a girl who's now going
18:55
Speaker 1: to go on a date with somebody else. Yeah, but
18:57
Speaker 1: he went on a date with a different girl during
18:58
Speaker 1: that week. She was super upset about it, but she
19:03
Speaker 1: was like Jenevieve was so upset about it, and then
19:05
Speaker 1: he was kind of like, okay, well I think now
19:08
Speaker 1: now look, I'm going to give you my rose after
19:11
Speaker 1: all this. And then she goes and talks Aaron and
19:13
Speaker 1: Jenevieve was on the podcast last week and she said,
19:16
Speaker 1: of course I talked to Justin before going on that date,
19:21
Speaker 1: Yes you do, and just kind So then we see Aaron.
19:25
Speaker 1: She gets home from the date with Aaron. She really
19:28
Speaker 1: likes Aaron and we I've said multiple times on the
19:31
Speaker 1: podcast already, he was our biggest surprise I think as
19:34
Speaker 1: far as human beings go, when we got there, because
19:37
Speaker 1: we were like, oh my god, why is this guy
19:39
Speaker 1: so angry all the time. He's always looking for a fight.
19:41
Speaker 1: He's not funny at all. Is the wide of these
19:43
Speaker 1: girls into him? And then we met him and he
19:45
Speaker 1: was like, oh wow, you're like cool, funny and daring,
19:49
Speaker 1: totally self deprecating. But we also love Justin too. We
19:54
Speaker 1: really enjoyed our time with Justin. Really, guys, there was
19:57
Speaker 1: nobody we didn't like. Is there nobody that we didn't like.
20:01
Speaker 1: The only person we didn't really connect with his logan logan,
20:04
Speaker 1: We just didn't have a connection with it. I also
20:06
Speaker 1: don't I can't say that we really like had like
20:07
Speaker 1: a good amount of time with Johnny. Enjoyed Johnny, but
20:10
Speaker 1: like didn't have like I can't really remember many moments,
20:13
Speaker 1: and that feel like Johnny and Victoria are just always
20:14
Speaker 1: like yeah, private and quiet, calm. It was very common
20:19
Speaker 1: around them. There was so common around that was like hilarious.
20:22
Speaker 1: Guys were like, why is there like no drama ever
20:24
Speaker 1: coming from that area? That just coasting right on through. Yeah.
20:28
Speaker 1: So yeah, So Jennevieve comes back from the day and
20:32
Speaker 1: she's kind of like, hey, I'm surprised that I like him.
20:34
Speaker 1: She says that to Justin, and then Justin is still
20:37
Speaker 1: like pretty pissed. And then it's his birthday, which is
20:40
Speaker 1: hilarious because it was her birthday. So many effing birthdays.
20:44
Speaker 1: They're there for like three weeks and everybody has a birthday?
20:46
Speaker 1: Was everybody born in the month of June. Well, it
20:48
Speaker 1: was funny because it's like the whole drama was like
20:51
Speaker 1: I can't believe he's breaking up with me on my birthday.
20:53
Speaker 1: And then it's like two days later it's Justin's birthday,
20:56
Speaker 1: and it's like, I can't believe she's breaking up with
20:58
Speaker 1: me on my birthday. The shady thing that happened here
21:02
Speaker 1: is a Justin in the midst of an argument in
21:04
Speaker 1: which they're basically like cutting ties, he goes, do I
21:09
Speaker 1: not get a birthday kiss? You got a birthday kiss?
21:14
Speaker 1: And it was so manipulative and a little bit, a
21:17
Speaker 1: little actually a lot of it, but like, I also
21:20
Speaker 1: hate talking bad about people that I like. But you know,
21:22
Speaker 1: I mean, why what's wrong with ussing for a birthday kiss? Jared?
21:25
Speaker 1: It was like, you didn't see this scene. No I didn't. Yeah,
21:29
Speaker 1: you didn't see this scene. Jared watched it, but not
21:32
Speaker 1: like intently, Um, what do you want for me? He was.
21:36
Speaker 1: She was like, I had a great time with Aaron.
21:38
Speaker 1: I really like him. And he's like, you're gonna leave
21:39
Speaker 1: me without a birthday kiss? So anyway, so then she
21:42
Speaker 1: goes to Aaron and she's like, I have to admit
21:44
Speaker 1: to you, I gave him a birthday kiss. And then
21:46
Speaker 1: Aaron's like, well, that's manipulative of him. But also Aaron
21:51
Speaker 1: handled the moment like a chad. He was like, I
21:55
Speaker 1: really like you. We had a great day. Tomorrow we'll
21:57
Speaker 1: start fresh, and that was it. He was so sure
22:01
Speaker 1: about it, and they started fresh, and it seems eazy, breezy.
22:04
Speaker 1: I think the Aaron also has the perspective of being
22:06
Speaker 1: on paradise prior and realizing all right, kind of this
22:09
Speaker 1: is a situation like yeah, you might kiss someone else,
22:11
Speaker 1: but we're still working towards something here together. And she
22:14
Speaker 1: was honest with me, so let's just move forward. Yeah.
22:16
Speaker 1: The other storyline that comes from that double date with
22:19
Speaker 1: Aaron and James and genevieven Say, is that Cheney basically
22:24
Speaker 1: abandoned Logan after this, she likes James more. It's not
22:28
Speaker 1: like there's like a crazy passion. She just happens to
22:31
Speaker 1: like James Mark. It is a very handsome man. I
22:34
Speaker 1: love James so sweet. Just wish ayone't wacked. His eyebrows
22:37
Speaker 1: is the only thing. He's got. Beautiful eyes though, gorgeous eyes.
22:42
Speaker 1: When he was down in Paradise, it's like, good god, man,
22:44
Speaker 1: it's like looking into the ocean. Yeah, he's so sweet
22:48
Speaker 1: and like gentle, Okay, which is so surprising? Is it
22:51
Speaker 1: so surprising that basically supersensitive so sensitive and gentle? That's what?
22:57
Speaker 1: Because I was like, James is he's such a sweetheart
23:00
Speaker 1: art and then Aaron's so self deprecating. I'm like, are
23:03
Speaker 1: you guys Shore you're the bass brothers, because come on now,
23:05
Speaker 1: you should be a little douche here, but you're you're
23:07
Speaker 1: too nice. Yeah, they're like the yeah, alright. So Jane
23:12
Speaker 1: is like Logan, why didn't you come after me when
23:15
Speaker 1: I came back from my day with James, like you
23:17
Speaker 1: didn't try to pursue me at all? And then Jay
23:21
Speaker 1: and then Logan is kind of like, well, you were
23:23
Speaker 1: the one that went on a date. Shouldn't you be
23:25
Speaker 1: coming up to me and telling me how you failed
23:27
Speaker 1: after the date? What do you think about situation like that?
23:32
Speaker 1: I'm team Logan probably really yeah, because I mean, could
23:37
Speaker 1: you imagine doing this? Could you imagine doing this outside
23:40
Speaker 1: of the bachelor bubble, like having you gotta have a
23:43
Speaker 1: connection with someone and they're on a date with someone
23:45
Speaker 1: else and then they're like, I was just trying to
23:46
Speaker 1: make you jealous, Like why aren't you coming after me?
23:48
Speaker 1: Even though that's I don't think what she was doing.
23:50
Speaker 1: She says that she likes James more anyway, Logan, she
23:54
Speaker 1: likes James more because like he's more pursuing at this point.
23:57
Speaker 1: Maybe just here's the point. I don't feel like Logan
24:01
Speaker 1: and Jane have a very good connection. So it's like,
24:04
Speaker 1: why are you annoyed that Logan wasn't coming after you?
24:06
Speaker 1: She just wants to be wanted. Yeah, my point exactly
24:09
Speaker 1: that it's not you guys are fine. You guys are
24:12
Speaker 1: It's obviously not that strong connection if neither one of
24:16
Speaker 1: you is fighting for the other, so let's just move
24:18
Speaker 1: on and try to find someone else. So Janell, you
24:21
Speaker 1: move on with James, see how that goes. And then
24:23
Speaker 1: Logan try to move on to somebody who's singing? Why
24:26
Speaker 1: is it Logan and Jill? Well, Jacob a Jill? Now
24:29
Speaker 1: I don't think Logan and could you imagine Logan and
24:32
Speaker 1: Jill together? But I'm just saying, single people on the beach,
24:34
Speaker 1: Let's just figure things out. Obviously your connection. Let's get
24:37
Speaker 1: some friendship roses figured out. Let's get some friendship making out,
24:41
Speaker 1: you know, friendship making out. What are the last person
24:45
Speaker 1: to say anything? Because like you and I both would
24:47
Speaker 1: never friendship makeout. You wouldn't like you wouldn't like send
24:52
Speaker 1: my friendship make out with me. That was different. You're like,
24:56
Speaker 1: I liked you too much, but I was also I
24:59
Speaker 1: knew I would be leading you on compared to Jill.
25:03
Speaker 1: You use the term leading on. Remember you hated that.
25:05
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you said you would have been Jared hates
25:08
Speaker 1: Jared mixed singles. Jared says, there's a difference between mixed
25:12
Speaker 1: signals and leading on, and that's a whole other conversation.
25:16
Speaker 1: At the crux of it. I understand what Jared was saying,
25:19
Speaker 1: but I think that people usually use those storms synonymously. Okay,
25:23
Speaker 1: on it to another bachelor couple, that's just that's just easy, breezy,
25:28
Speaker 1: like Johnny and Victoria are at this point, it's a
25:32
Speaker 1: Brandon Serene Brandon Serene are. I mean, yeah, they're just smooth.
25:35
Speaker 1: It's just smooth falling in love with each other. He
25:37
Speaker 1: says he's falling in love. Some people are giving him
25:40
Speaker 1: criticism for saying that so early, including Jared. No, it's not,
25:45
Speaker 1: it's just more, you know, sometimes you get wrapped up
25:48
Speaker 1: in the moment. That doesn't mean he's not actually going
25:50
Speaker 1: to fall in love with her. But I think maybe
25:52
Speaker 1: it was a I don't know. I mean, listen, it
25:54
Speaker 1: all depends on how it plays out, what happens, if
25:56
Speaker 1: they end up spending the rest of their lives together.
25:59
Speaker 1: This man is so incredibly romantic though, That's what I mean, like,
26:02
Speaker 1: because yeah, do I think he said it too early,
26:05
Speaker 1: But at the same time, he's so sweet and endearing
26:08
Speaker 1: it makes you want to believe what he's saying. I
26:12
Speaker 1: wonder if Michelle is watching this back and just being like,
26:14
Speaker 1: man I missed out because Brandon is No, it's not.
26:19
Speaker 1: I mean, I hope not. Damn, I hope not. That's awkward.
26:22
Speaker 1: I don't know. It just Brandon is so swoony to me,
26:25
Speaker 1: very swooney, you know what I mean. He's very good looking.
26:27
Speaker 1: He's very good looking, but he's just like he loves
26:30
Speaker 1: love like that. Is not a player, dude. Yeah. He
26:32
Speaker 1: also pays attention when you talk. I noticed that when
26:35
Speaker 1: I was talking too, he was looking at me in
26:36
Speaker 1: the eyes. He's like, oh, this is a very listener.
26:38
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is about him. He's just
26:40
Speaker 1: like so like precious, you know, used that expression like
26:45
Speaker 1: protect this man at all costs. That's how I feel
26:47
Speaker 1: about Brandon. Yeah, I would agree. Okay. So anyway, um yeah,
26:51
Speaker 1: Brandon and Serena have a great date. He says, I'm
26:54
Speaker 1: I'm all yours so cute. I mean, I at it.
27:00
Speaker 1: Serene is catch beautiful, smart, intelligent. Sure, Brandon's like, this
27:06
Speaker 1: girl is incredible and I want to lock her down
27:09
Speaker 1: immediately before any other douchebags walked down these stairs and
27:13
Speaker 1: try to steal my girl. They are just classic couple,
27:17
Speaker 1: the one that starts strong and strong doesn't have any
27:20
Speaker 1: drama unfortunately. Well okay, yeah, I'm sorry, I'm just seeing
27:24
Speaker 1: foreseeing like you know, there's like little slots they put
27:27
Speaker 1: you in. Well, plus, he's I mean, I get that
27:30
Speaker 1: a little bit of his story, but in his intro
27:32
Speaker 1: he's literally unburying of engagement. You know what that is? Yeah? Okay,
27:38
Speaker 1: So in Michelle's season bettered an engagement when she denied
27:43
Speaker 1: his proposal. He threw it into this that's right forgot about,
27:47
Speaker 1: which I think is the best intro of all the
27:50
Speaker 1: intros thus far this year. Uh yeah, what else is
27:53
Speaker 1: a good intro? So funny Lace's call back to her
27:56
Speaker 1: bachelor party season three where she falls and catches the drink.
28:00
Speaker 1: I think season three is the best one. That was
28:01
Speaker 1: the one where Josh kicked the soccer ball and then
28:03
Speaker 1: the soccer ball hit Nick in the head. Incredible, so good,
28:07
Speaker 1: so good. And then Wells was DJ and the Coconuts. Yeah,
28:12
Speaker 1: spinning back when Wells was just a DJ in Nashville.
28:17
Speaker 1: I know, it's that crazy, It's Yeah. What was I
28:22
Speaker 1: gonna say was because say something what I thought was poignant,
28:25
Speaker 1: which probably wasn't pointing in at all. Maybe it'll come
28:28
Speaker 1: back to me, Oh yeah, okay. So basically like they
28:30
Speaker 1: put you in slots right because they're like, you will
28:34
Speaker 1: be the couple that will be together and it'll be tumultuous.
28:37
Speaker 1: You will be the couple that you get together and
28:39
Speaker 1: it's strong the entire time. There's always the strong, the
28:42
Speaker 1: entire time couple, and that is Brandon and Serena or
28:45
Speaker 1: for what I foresee. Yeah, but sometimes those couples end up. No,
28:49
Speaker 1: there's there's just a couple, babe. There's like the couple
28:52
Speaker 1: that's strong and then they could fall apart, and then
28:54
Speaker 1: there's a couple that's strong and they stay strong. It's
28:56
Speaker 1: like the Jadeen Tanner versus the Carly and Kirk Kirk
29:00
Speaker 1: Kirk No, Kirk Lorn and I literally had this fight
29:03
Speaker 1: on the sand. Is it Kirk or is it Kurt?
29:06
Speaker 1: It's Kirk Jared kay I are So there's one of each.
29:12
Speaker 1: I don't think Brandon Serena are going. I don't think
29:14
Speaker 1: they're going to Carly and Kirk way, they're going the
29:19
Speaker 1: car the Jane January. One can only hope. What's the
29:22
Speaker 1: next thing. Next thing is basically the Carly and Kirk.
29:27
Speaker 1: It's Michael and Sierra. Yeah, do you want to take
29:30
Speaker 1: you can explain the Michael and Sierra story a little bit.
29:32
Speaker 1: I mean, Michael Sierra, they just they when we went
29:35
Speaker 1: down there, they seemed like a pretty solid couple. They
29:36
Speaker 1: were solid couple. And then you know, we all saw
29:40
Speaker 1: what happened with Sierra. She had that date planned and
29:42
Speaker 1: everybody was so excited for her. Well, I was, okay,
29:45
Speaker 1: so we're at we're all really excited, We're all really nervous. Okay,
29:49
Speaker 1: So because we were just like, I think it's a
29:51
Speaker 1: great idea, but you know, it's just as everybody knows,
29:54
Speaker 1: it's it's it's a lot. It's a heavy conversation to
29:56
Speaker 1: have in such an early relationship, and so I think
29:59
Speaker 1: we're all really excited. We all thought it was going
30:01
Speaker 1: to go well, but I think all of us had
30:03
Speaker 1: like a little little voice in the back of our
30:06
Speaker 1: head saying, is it too much? And then we're like no,
30:10
Speaker 1: like we're in paradise. This is what you know. And
30:12
Speaker 1: she really wanted to talk to her about the situation
30:15
Speaker 1: and make him know that she was there for him
30:17
Speaker 1: and supporting and that you know, she was not trying
30:20
Speaker 1: to replace anybody or anything like that. Um. But obviously
30:25
Speaker 1: we all saw what happened, which sucked because Sierra Sia
30:28
Speaker 1: again just this is just stunning. She's striking, and she's
30:33
Speaker 1: just so sweet. She's really just she's a sweetheart. She is, um, yeah,
30:39
Speaker 1: great heart. But Michael has a gave so much. Now listen,
30:46
Speaker 1: I talked to Sierra a little bit more than Michael
30:48
Speaker 1: up until this point, so I was knowing their relationship
30:51
Speaker 1: much more through Sierra's eyes, and then afterward I was
30:55
Speaker 1: talking to Michael Moore, and I saw the relationship with
30:57
Speaker 1: through Michael's eyes. The situation that Michael's in is really
31:01
Speaker 1: like almost unprecedented as far as being in Paradise. We've
31:04
Speaker 1: seen a couple widow Like the only other widow I
31:07
Speaker 1: can think about on the show is Emily Maynard. Can
31:12
Speaker 1: you think of another widow? No? Not? Uh? Oh, Julia Kinney,
31:18
Speaker 1: Julia Kinney and technically or whatnot? Technically? I mean Kelsey Oh,
31:24
Speaker 1: Kelsey po Kelsey Poh. How did that not come to
31:28
Speaker 1: the top of my head? I can see why. It's
31:31
Speaker 1: a little bit of a different situation, totally different situation.
31:35
Speaker 1: Let's not even go there. Okay, So Michael has obviously
31:41
Speaker 1: he's obviously going to go about dating in this atmosphere
31:44
Speaker 1: different than everyone. Um, he has not had a serious
31:50
Speaker 1: relationship since his wife, and he talks openly about how
31:55
Speaker 1: he's not going, like it's hard for him to get there.
31:58
Speaker 1: He's scared because every time him he does get close
32:01
Speaker 1: to really dating someone, he basically walks away. Yeah, that's
32:06
Speaker 1: not really conducive for dating, but that's why I was concerned.
32:09
Speaker 1: When I heard this from him, or I heard these
32:13
Speaker 1: concerns from Sierra, I was like, oh crap, then he's
32:16
Speaker 1: probably I don't know if Paradise is the place for him.
32:19
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, so, I mean I love Michael, but I
32:24
Speaker 1: also don't want him to go into a relationship with
32:27
Speaker 1: someone again and have the same thing happened again. It
32:31
Speaker 1: just seemed like he was going to need like the
32:33
Speaker 1: slowest of the slow process, and obviously Paradise is like
32:36
Speaker 1: the fastest of the fast process, the fastest of the fast.
32:40
Speaker 1: So Sia is telling us girls what she's doing. She
32:44
Speaker 1: just looks so gorgeous, and she's going to pull him
32:47
Speaker 1: aside and show him the stars that she got for
32:51
Speaker 1: him and Laura and their son. And I thought he
32:56
Speaker 1: was going to take it well and I was, but
32:59
Speaker 1: not like to also tell her to slow down. I
33:01
Speaker 1: thought I was going to tell her. I thought he
33:03
Speaker 1: was going to tell her we got to slow down.
33:05
Speaker 1: I did not think he was going to tell her
33:07
Speaker 1: let's be friends. Yeah, it went a hundred to zero
33:12
Speaker 1: really quickly in Sierra's eyes, and I understand that Michael
33:15
Speaker 1: probably had a different outlook and maybe they weren't communicating
33:19
Speaker 1: or he wasn't communicating as well as he wanted to
33:22
Speaker 1: to see her saying with in terms of how fast
33:24
Speaker 1: the relationship was moving. But yeah, it's crazy how it
33:29
Speaker 1: just ended. Yeh, roadblock. I expected when Sierra told us
33:36
Speaker 1: as a group that he basically cut it off with her,
33:40
Speaker 1: that he was going to leave as well. And then
33:43
Speaker 1: do you and I were both kind of shocked when
33:45
Speaker 1: we saw that he's just hanging around because I thought
33:47
Speaker 1: what he was saying is like, this is going too fast.
33:49
Speaker 1: I've realized this is in the place for me to
33:51
Speaker 1: find a relationship. But he was really just saying like
33:54
Speaker 1: this is not That's actually not the situation at all.
33:58
Speaker 1: The situation with Michael was that he really felt like
34:01
Speaker 1: something was missing with Sarah. He did not feel it
34:04
Speaker 1: all the way is that. Yeah, it was more that
34:08
Speaker 1: the connection with Sierra wasn't there, rather than the environment
34:13
Speaker 1: of paradises can move too quickly. Hey, so what we
34:17
Speaker 1: once we heard from that we're like okay, and a
34:19
Speaker 1: lot of people whenever something ends, a relationship ends, everybody's
34:22
Speaker 1: looking for someone to blame. And I feel like this
34:25
Speaker 1: is a situation where there's there's no specific like I
34:28
Speaker 1: don't fault Michael and I don't fault Sierra. I can
34:31
Speaker 1: see both sides of what they were going through. It
34:33
Speaker 1: was just an awkward situation that of course I think
34:36
Speaker 1: Michael could have handled things better in but also like
34:39
Speaker 1: he could not have been He could not be more
34:42
Speaker 1: sweet in this moment. He's just the sweetest man. And
34:46
Speaker 1: it's like, guys, how else did you want him to
34:49
Speaker 1: break up with her? Did you want him to do
34:50
Speaker 1: it in increments? Because he couldn't. There's no other good
34:53
Speaker 1: way of doing it, I thought, you know, they you know,
34:56
Speaker 1: he handled the situation as well as he could, and um,
34:59
Speaker 1: he did want to lead her on anymore. But the
35:01
Speaker 1: thing was, I guess she never had a sign for
35:06
Speaker 1: her to slow down in the first place. It's so
35:08
Speaker 1: hard though, because then I agree because you're in paradise
35:13
Speaker 1: and things move quickly. But at the same time, they
35:16
Speaker 1: were probably hanging out at this point four five days maybe,
35:22
Speaker 1: which I guess is an eternity in paradise, but it's
35:28
Speaker 1: it's that is such a gray area to me where
35:31
Speaker 1: I can understand, you know, Sierra saying, well, it's been
35:35
Speaker 1: five days and in paradise, that's a very long time.
35:38
Speaker 1: I wish I had more of an idea that the
35:42
Speaker 1: your our connection was not as strong as I thought
35:43
Speaker 1: it was. But then I can also see the other
35:46
Speaker 1: side saying, well, it was so early on I wanted
35:49
Speaker 1: to give this a real chance, and then it is
35:53
Speaker 1: still only five days in before I ended up ending things,
35:56
Speaker 1: ending things, which I felt was still pretty early on. Yeah,
36:01
Speaker 1: it's hard. It's really hard when you're there in the
36:04
Speaker 1: moment and you get to know these people and you
36:06
Speaker 1: know the situation when you see it go down and stuff,
36:09
Speaker 1: and then critique it. It's definitely easier to critique episodes
36:13
Speaker 1: when you're not there. I know, we just have a
36:17
Speaker 1: lot of empathy for everybody, and we like everybody. Uh,
36:21
Speaker 1: And I guess that's it for the recap, But we
36:24
Speaker 1: do have a couple of huge bachelor headlines. So we're going, well,
36:29
Speaker 1: actually there's maybe just one huge one. Yeah, there's one
36:32
Speaker 1: huge one, and we've got to talk about it. Right
36:33
Speaker 1: after this break, we're back with headlines and this is
36:48
Speaker 1: like my favorite Helloine ever? Did you know this? You know,
36:53
Speaker 1: engaged Cla to Ryan Dawkins. She really came out publicly
37:01
Speaker 1: with this relationship not long ago. I saw her in
37:06
Speaker 1: June and she was seeing someone. Had to have been him, right,
37:12
Speaker 1: I have not texted her like asking like was this
37:15
Speaker 1: the guy yet? But either way, so thrilling. This woman
37:21
Speaker 1: deserves I hate saying deserves love, like it's my least
37:24
Speaker 1: favorite thing because I think that's everything. But everybody, everybody
37:28
Speaker 1: deserves love. But damn do I root for Claire Crawley
37:33
Speaker 1: to find love more than like a lot of people.
37:35
Speaker 1: First of all, I don't think everyone deserves love, you don't.
37:38
Speaker 1: There's some very bad people, but the majority of people
37:42
Speaker 1: certainly do. Uh yeah, like you know specific because that
37:47
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Dahmer thing is that does not deserve Okay, so
37:51
Speaker 1: the majority of people in this world deserve love. But yeah, no,
37:55
Speaker 1: super excited for Claire. Uh they I'm assuming i'd been
37:59
Speaker 1: dating for a while and she us announced a relationship
38:01
Speaker 1: because even if they were, yeah, it was like they
38:03
Speaker 1: went Instagram official last month. Yeah, so it feels so
38:06
Speaker 1: fast because of that, But I would assume that they've
38:08
Speaker 1: been dating for six or seven months at least, which
38:10
Speaker 1: you know, when you get to even you get to
38:14
Speaker 1: sut of port in your life, you're like, Okay, we're ready.

38:27
Speaker 1: of it before. Okay, you looked that up. I don't

Speaker 1: micro club. Did she play college ball? Yeah? Yeah? What
42:12
Speaker 1: what are you smiling like that for? I'm not smiling.

42:21
Speaker 1: I think she's pretty good. Jared, No, she's really good. Yeah,
42:24
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to think if I could stay in
42:25
Speaker 1: front of her and see and Michelle. I'd like to
42:27
Speaker 1: see if you could go one on one with she
42:29
Speaker 1: and Michelle, know, not two on one, babe, Like you
42:34
Speaker 1: play against one of them, then you play against the
42:36
Speaker 1: other one and then the winners played together unless you went. Okay,
42:42
Speaker 1: So a micro club, keep score, baby? What's a micro club?
42:48
Speaker 1: Heading over to the basement? A microbe club that plays

43:21
Speaker 1: You didn't want to talk about Rachel and Rachel and Zach. Oh,
43:26
Speaker 1: this is a bullshit headline. This is Zach saying that
43:29
Speaker 1: he felt some spark between Even and Rachel on the
43:33
Speaker 1: finale when he interrupted the whole Tino situation. And let
43:38
Speaker 1: me tell you, there's no There was no real spark.
43:42
Speaker 1: That was a oh my gosh, you're making maybe look
43:44
Speaker 1: so much better right now, I'm pulling you off stage
43:47
Speaker 1: and I will probably never see you again moment. Uh yeah, Well,
43:53
Speaker 1: because I've been on social just I don't see any
43:56
Speaker 1: pictures of him and Rachel together. They've never hung out afterwards,
44:00
Speaker 1: so it feels like that was a waste of time.
44:02
Speaker 1: It is exactly why I said it was a b
44:04
Speaker 1: s headline. Sorry, that's all touched on because I was like,
44:08
Speaker 1: I saw the spark comment, and I was like, but
44:10
Speaker 1: I don't see any like did they did they even
44:12
Speaker 1: like hang out at any point afterwards? To read the
44:15
Speaker 1: article verbatim you have read, says Zach says he noticed
44:20
Speaker 1: chemistry between the two the last time I start heard
44:22
Speaker 1: and Aven they had a little bit of a spark
44:24
Speaker 1: on camera, love and respect. Aven want the best for them.
44:27
Speaker 1: If it's a thing, it's it's spoilerer. It's just not

Speaker 1: because I'm just gonna be so insecure. I don't know
47:24
Speaker 1: how there's a part of it doesn't want to go tonight.
47:26
Speaker 1: This is like a flashback to Jared, like being in
47:28
Speaker 1: high school, the insecurities. There was a there was a
47:31
Speaker 1: table in high school one time. Now, granted I didn't
47:34
Speaker 1: have that bad of experience. I got bullied a little bit,
47:36
Speaker 1: but yeah, but I had other kids that were bullied
47:39
Speaker 1: way worse, and I felt terrible for them. And I
47:41
Speaker 1: never stuck up for him because I would get bullied
47:43
Speaker 1: a little bit, but I would never want that onto me.
47:47
Speaker 1: You know, I never had the courage to stick up
47:48
Speaker 1: for other people because I was too nervous. Then all
47:51
Speaker 1: of a sudden, like I would get the full steam
47:53
Speaker 1: of bullying. So but I remember this one time, it
47:56
Speaker 1: was kind of it was it wasn't bullying, it was
47:59
Speaker 1: just more I don't know. I guess maybe they didn't
48:01
Speaker 1: know how I was insecure. But there was a circle
48:03
Speaker 1: of hate about me. Um, I couldn't that sounds like
48:07
Speaker 1: that I hate Rachel Green Club. It was a little
48:09
Speaker 1: bit and um, yeah, I don't know why circle of
48:13
Speaker 1: hate my poor baby. So I couldn't go. I remember
48:16
Speaker 1: they went to Hooters after a football practice or something.
48:19
Speaker 1: I couldn't go, and and uh, they were. They told
48:22
Speaker 1: me they were very happy that I wasn't there, and
48:24
Speaker 1: I think they were busting my balls. But this is
48:26
Speaker 1: when I was very, very insecure, and so I wouldn't
48:28
Speaker 1: call it bullying. But they called me and they told
48:30
Speaker 1: me afterwards that they created They each one around the
48:33
Speaker 1: table and said something that they hated about me. Yeah,
48:36
Speaker 1: it's very remember any examples. One of them said that
48:39
Speaker 1: they hated I loved Seinfeld so much and that I
48:42
Speaker 1: said I wanted to be like George Costanza because I
48:43
Speaker 1: always joke around, be like I wanted to be like George,
48:45
Speaker 1: like he lives a big lie. It's very funny. And
48:47
Speaker 1: of course I would say this year old Jared was
48:50
Speaker 1: still wanted to be George Costanza until this day. Yeah,
48:53
Speaker 1: and then that's the only one that stuck out to me.
48:56
Speaker 1: And then I think somebody said they hated that I
48:58
Speaker 1: tucked in my jerseys when I because I used to
49:00
Speaker 1: go I remember I tucked in and were jerseys to school,
49:04
Speaker 1: and uh, I mean like you used to wear and
49:08
Speaker 1: Tom Brady jersey, Paul Pierced jersey, you know, just local
49:11
Speaker 1: Celtics or Patriot players. And I would tuck him into
49:14
Speaker 1: my jeans, but then apparently that was not cool, which obviously,
49:18
Speaker 1: looking back, I'm like, why did I tuck in my jerseys?
49:21
Speaker 1: Oh my sweep boy. Oh that's quite all right, but
