- 0:30Speaker 1: the guests are gonna be on the night's podcasts have
- 0:32Speaker 1: been back with us. In this room. We have one
- 0:34Speaker 1: man who ate We've been back here for two hours.
- 0:36Speaker 1: He ate a whole wheel of bree cheese preparing for tonight.
- 0:42Speaker 1: He said it was because he was born and I
- 0:44Speaker 1: was a little bit offended at that, but it's okay.
- 0:46Speaker 1: It was very entertaining for us. Um he says that
- 0:49Speaker 1: he's gonna come out, he's gonna do his interview, and
- 0:51Speaker 1: then after that he's probably gonna, you know, throw up
- 0:55Speaker 1: or something else. I have no cluence. Next. Also, I
- 0:58Speaker 1: have to give a shout out to San Francisco. Congratulations
- 1:00Speaker 1: in a big win today. Yeah, Jimmy g Hey, do
- 1:05Speaker 1: you guys. Remember, do you guys remember when this podcast
- 1:09Speaker 1: first started and um, Ben and I were both single
- 1:13Speaker 1: and we were trying to set each other up with
- 1:15Speaker 1: our celebrity crushes, and I said that I wanted Jimmy
- 1:19Speaker 1: g and And it seems like really positive, like plausible
- 1:24Speaker 1: back then, I think I know Jared says that you know,
- 1:29Speaker 1: Jared allows me to have a crush on him because
- 1:31Speaker 1: he once was a Patriot. So anyone who has, you know,
- 1:34Speaker 1: played at Gillette Stadium, I'm allowed to have a crush
- 1:37Speaker 1: on I'm just taking a second here, um, actually take
- 1:41Speaker 1: a deep breath. Look around you. Look at how many
- 1:43Speaker 1: people showed up for tonight's podcast. I want to say
- 1:45Speaker 1: thank you. This is awesome. I hope it's a ton
- 1:51Speaker 1: of fun. We have put a ton of time and
- 1:53Speaker 1: injury into tonight. There's a whole team backstage that have
- 1:57Speaker 1: probably worked three months on making this happen. Can we
- 1:59Speaker 1: give him a round of applause me for the night
- 2:01Speaker 1: starts we chose. We've got a few things, so I
- 2:07Speaker 1: have to touch a few topics because this last week
- 2:11Speaker 1: of promotion has been rough for me. I had no
- 2:13Speaker 1: clue that you don't call san Francisco San Fran. So
- 2:21Speaker 1: I know, I know that you're not supposed to call
- 2:24Speaker 1: like l A so Cow. You're not supposed to call
- 2:26Speaker 1: southern California so Cow. But I had no idea about
- 2:29Speaker 1: the San Fran thing, especially since so many of you
- 2:32Speaker 1: are now calling it SF. And I think this is
- 2:35Speaker 1: like a thing that's happened over the past five years. No,
- 2:39Speaker 1: it's always been, always, always forever. So I post that
- 2:46Speaker 1: I'm gonna be in San frank give me a little
- 2:49Speaker 1: grace here, and I probably got a hundred messages from
- 2:52Speaker 1: individuals saying when you're at the podcast, please do not
- 2:56Speaker 1: call it San France. So we came to San Francisco
- 3:02Speaker 1: because this city has been so great to us over
- 3:05Speaker 1: the last two years of our podcast. There's a huge
- 3:07Speaker 1: group of you that listen. We knew that. But also
- 3:10Speaker 1: I don't know if you knew this. Our producer who
- 3:12Speaker 1: created the show, Amy Ah, you here now and again
- 3:14Speaker 1: on the podcast. You guys probably want to put a
- 3:17Speaker 1: face to her name. Yeah, so Amy, Amy, Amy, come
- 3:21Speaker 1: on right there. She really doesn't like this very much. Um,
- 3:29Speaker 1: all right, so thank you, San Francisco. We have a
- 3:33Speaker 1: lot of planned we're gonna get into it right now,
- 3:34Speaker 1: we're gonna talk Peter season of The Bachelor. To get
- 3:37Speaker 1: us started, can I do a poll? Okay, so you
- 3:43Speaker 1: guys know that Hannah was definitely the most exciting thing
- 3:45Speaker 1: about Night one, or at least episode one. Um, how
- 3:49Speaker 1: many of you, by a pole of clapping, want to
- 3:53Speaker 1: see Hannah and Peter together at the end of this Actually,
- 4:01Speaker 1: I just don't see how that happened. Wait, now we
- 4:03Speaker 1: have to see how many of you don't want to
- 4:06Speaker 1: see Hannah and Peter together. I feel like all of
- 4:11Speaker 1: you voted twice. Let's talk about this for a second,
- 4:15Speaker 1: because you and I haven't got a lot of time
- 4:17Speaker 1: to discuss this. We talked about it with Peter, we
- 4:18Speaker 1: talked about it last week. With Hannah going on Dancing
- 4:22Speaker 1: with the Stars and also filming The Bachelor at the
- 4:25Speaker 1: same time, there is no possible way that timeline works.
- 4:29Speaker 1: I checked your facts last week, and here's the thing
- 4:31Speaker 1: that stands out to me. I don't know if you
- 4:33Speaker 1: remember this, but on Dancing with the Stars, there's this
- 4:35Speaker 1: week where Hannah broke down and there was never a
- 4:38Speaker 1: very clear definition why. What she said was, hey, there's
- 4:41Speaker 1: a lot going on in her life. Um, it had
- 4:43Speaker 1: been an emotional roller coaster. Everything kind of compounded into
- 4:47Speaker 1: one and and it was too much, and she broke down.
- 4:50Speaker 1: And I think most of us didn't think twice about
- 4:52Speaker 1: that because we're like, well, she's had the craziest year ever.
- 4:54Speaker 1: In the past nine months. She's gone from Colton season
- 4:56Speaker 1: to being like the most a followed I mean, the
- 5:00Speaker 1: most popular bachelor atte ever to being a finalist on
- 5:05Speaker 1: Dancing with the Stars. So I think we're all just like, yeah,
- 5:07Speaker 1: the years catching up with her. But perhaps something was
- 5:11Speaker 1: going on behind the scenes where she was dealing with Peter,
- 5:14Speaker 1: either finding love or him deciding whether or not to
- 5:18Speaker 1: be with her. It's interesting because so when you're on
- 5:21Speaker 1: the show. We'll give a little background information here. So
- 5:24Speaker 1: when you're on the show at that point in the season,
- 5:25Speaker 1: there's somewhere far outside of the United States. I'm assuming
- 5:29Speaker 1: I don't know exactly where they went. Um, they're somewhere
- 5:32Speaker 1: really far away. So there is no possible way that
- 5:36Speaker 1: she was still filming The Bachelor and Dance with the
- 5:39Speaker 1: Start at the same time. No, no, no, But I
- 5:41Speaker 1: think our big question mark here, And if you guys
- 5:43Speaker 1: listen to the last episode or read my Cosmo article
- 5:45Speaker 1: from this past week, you would know that my theory
- 5:47Speaker 1: is this. Sorry if you're lost for a second, but
- 5:51Speaker 1: my theory is that the two of them in Monday
- 5:54Speaker 1: Night's episode go their separate ways. But think that at
- 5:57Speaker 1: the end of Dancing with the Stars and at the
- 5:59Speaker 1: end of his season and if he's if either of
- 6:01Speaker 1: them are still thinking about each other, that they have
- 6:04Speaker 1: to like give it a whirl. So I'm thinking that, Um,
- 6:08Speaker 1: the season wraps up on Dancing with the Stars and
- 6:11Speaker 1: then Hannah is like, oh man, that that crowning was awesome,
- 6:14Speaker 1: but it would have it wasn't complete without Peter there.
- 6:17Speaker 1: So I think the news that Chris Harrison gives Peter
- 6:21Speaker 1: as he's about to hand out his final rows is
- 6:25Speaker 1: that Hannah wants him back officially, like I can't stop
- 6:29Speaker 1: thinking about him, and now he needs to decide between
- 6:32Speaker 1: the girl he was gonna give his final rows to
- 6:34Speaker 1: and Hannah. Do you guys think this is a passible
- 6:37Speaker 1: theory or my Yeah. When Ashley said this last week
- 6:42Speaker 1: in front of Peter, I was blown away that she
- 6:43Speaker 1: put the time into this. I've talked to Peter a
- 6:45Speaker 1: few times. Um, I will say this in my time
- 6:49Speaker 1: since being the Bachelor, I think I've talked to every
- 6:51Speaker 1: Bachelor and they've all been great. Colton was great, Nick
- 6:53Speaker 1: was great. I don't I don't know if I ever
- 6:55Speaker 1: talked to Ri before the season actually started. It was like,
- 6:58Speaker 1: I came before you, Ben, I'm not going into you
- 7:00Speaker 1: for we didn't need my advice. I will say this,
- 7:03Speaker 1: and and all those guys are friends of mine. Now,
- 7:06Speaker 1: I have never met somebody since I started the show,
- 7:08Speaker 1: at least a bachelor that was so excited, so put together,
- 7:13Speaker 1: and so unprepared to be the Bachelor, which made me
- 7:16Speaker 1: think that Peter was gonna thrive in this well, because
- 7:19Speaker 1: I think that people were like, Okay, well, if if
- 7:22Speaker 1: Tyler's not picked, the Bachelor's gonna be Tyler. And then
- 7:25Speaker 1: it was like, oh, Tyler's not picked, then it's gonna
- 7:27Speaker 1: be Mike. And then neither of them were picked, and
- 7:30Speaker 1: then it was it was almost like Peter, poor Peter
- 7:32Speaker 1: has been the third place and like everything, and I'm
- 7:36Speaker 1: really into doing um polls with you guys. I feel
- 7:40Speaker 1: like Peter, after watching his Night one and getting to
- 7:42Speaker 1: know him a little bit, is the most Ben Higgins
- 7:46Speaker 1: like bachelor we've had since you know, it's if one day,
- 7:52Speaker 1: four and a half years from him being the Bachelor,
- 7:53Speaker 1: if he can sit on a couch with somebody like you, Ashley,
- 7:56Speaker 1: he's been doing all right. Um, so I'm super pumped
- 7:59Speaker 1: about Peter's season. But tonight we have some guests from
- 8:02Speaker 1: past seasons. But before to stay here, I gotta talk
- 8:05Speaker 1: to you all for a second. How many of you
- 8:08Speaker 1: are in our Facebook group? Raise your hand? Not many
- 8:12Speaker 1: of you? Okay, that's good, He's good. If you listen.
- 8:16Speaker 1: Last week's podcast, Uh, we said something that we've never
- 8:19Speaker 1: got so much hate for. I don't know if you
- 8:21Speaker 1: know what I'm talking not true, but recently, can you
- 8:24Speaker 1: can you tell what I'm talking about? It's Caitlin. Okay,
- 8:28Speaker 1: I know you're all Caitlin Bristow fans. I'm a huge
- 8:33Speaker 1: some hed say no for me. I love Caitlin. She's
- 8:36Speaker 1: a she's a great friend to me. But last week
- 8:40Speaker 1: we said, after a caption that she posts on Instagram, hey,
- 8:42Speaker 1: she doesn't like one person from the franchise. So you
- 8:47Speaker 1: all know it, and we didn't think about it, and
- 8:49Speaker 1: we feel really really guilty. Some people are like, no,
- 8:53Speaker 1: it's definitely it's not Shawn. Guys, it's and we want
- 8:58Speaker 1: to make that clear. And also like some of were like, oh,
- 9:00Speaker 1: Actuley and Bet are just trying to protect the franchise.
- 9:03Speaker 1: That's why they're not calling out. Nope, we didn't even
- 9:06Speaker 1: think of this. I was thinking, who have I interacted
- 9:09Speaker 1: with in this Bachelor family? Who you know? Who I
- 9:13Speaker 1: think that Caitlin doesn't like? And I've never met Ben.
- 9:17Speaker 1: This doesn't apply to you. So anyways, we want to
- 9:20Speaker 1: genuinely say in front of all you, sorry, we didn't
- 9:23Speaker 1: know it. We didn't. We'll get better next time, we'll
- 9:26Speaker 1: get the fact straight. But Caitlin's a little army out there.
- 9:30Speaker 1: They're brutal, absolutely brutal to us in our Facebook group,
- 9:35Speaker 1: and I know they're gonna be listening. We read you
- 9:38Speaker 1: for support, so please support us. If not, get off
- 9:42Speaker 1: of there. Okay, hey tonight we have some special guests.
- 9:46Speaker 1: The first one just a a whole block of bree cheese.
- 9:51Speaker 1: We know him best from Joe Joe's season of the
- 9:55Speaker 1: Bachelor at He was once in gay aged to Taylor
- 10:01Speaker 1: Nolan and if you heard our podcast a few weeks ago,
- 10:04Speaker 1: things got a little weird. He also dated Stephanie Pratt,
- 10:11Speaker 1: a couple of kisses, A couple of kisses here and there,
- 10:14Speaker 1: and he returned to Bachelor in Paradise season six, where
- 10:17Speaker 1: he pursued Demi Lovat not Lovato and Tasha Adams give
- 10:23Speaker 1: it up for Dick paint Seby on the same with me.
- 10:35Speaker 1: There's what's binna? Actually that's for you in case you
- 10:38Speaker 1: start crying. I know, um so I have a little
- 10:42Speaker 1: bit of bree cheese left. I'm not kidding. This is delicious, Ben, Derek.
- 10:46Speaker 1: This is one of the weirdest things I've ever seen.
- 10:48Speaker 1: And I know you probably are out there like this
- 10:49Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense. Please check my Instagram story because
- 10:53Speaker 1: if you do, you're gonna see a man for no reason.
- 10:56Speaker 1: There's literally no reason to this whole block of cheese. Derek,
- 11:00Speaker 1: thanks for coming out tonight. Thanks for having me send Francisco.
- 11:05Speaker 1: So you guys know around here, Ben always takes care
- 11:10Speaker 1: of the fluffy, nice chat and I just get right
- 11:12Speaker 1: into the hard questions. So I'm gonna do that. I'm
- 11:17Speaker 1: gonna talk the whole time. Well that's what most people
- 11:19Speaker 1: would probably prefer. But so we had Taylor, your ex
- 11:23Speaker 1: fiance on the podcast. A couple of weeks ago, and
- 11:26Speaker 1: she said that she never actually accepted a proposal from you.
- 11:30Speaker 1: She never said the word yes, yea, all right, I
- 11:37Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know about h. I actually didn't listen.
- 11:41Speaker 1: So that's not the happiest thing to hear. UM. So like, no,
- 11:51Speaker 1: it's it's tough because like that was a very emotional
- 11:54Speaker 1: experience and like a real thing to me, and I
- 11:57Speaker 1: would hope for her to um and if to like
- 12:02Speaker 1: to like kind of throw it away like that hurts. UM.
- 12:07Speaker 1: I don't I've never heard that before. So like personally
- 12:09Speaker 1: between the two of us, she never said anything to me,
- 12:12Speaker 1: which is like, I don't know, I'm sorry. UM, that's
- 12:19Speaker 1: just like I love you. UM. You put your you
- 12:23Speaker 1: put your heart into something and like to have that
- 12:25Speaker 1: be the responses not what you want to hear. But
- 12:29Speaker 1: I mean, as we talked to Taylor, UM, and I'm
- 12:32Speaker 1: sure that most of you listen to the episode, this
- 12:35Speaker 1: went from fun to uh something else. We'll get back
- 12:38Speaker 1: to fun in a second, UM, but one of the
- 12:41Speaker 1: things that uh that we want to talk about was
- 12:43Speaker 1: this podcast happens. We have no clue where it's going.
- 12:46Speaker 1: Ashley kind of asks, I feel like a softball question
- 12:49Speaker 1: saying like what was it like to be engaged? Or
- 12:51Speaker 1: I forget the exact question, and this is the response
- 12:54Speaker 1: for me. I'm texting Ashley and I'm like, what is happening?
- 12:59Speaker 1: Like this is unheard of, I've never heard this. I
- 13:01Speaker 1: think that the idea that she was saying was when
- 13:03Speaker 1: you asked her, she didn't want to happen and she
- 13:05Speaker 1: shook her head, but she didn't say yes. In your mind,
- 13:09Speaker 1: were you engaged to Taylor? Always yes? For how long?
- 13:13Speaker 1: Without a question? It was basically a year. Yeah, I'm
- 13:17Speaker 1: gonna dive a little deeper right now and then it's
- 13:19Speaker 1: gonna get fus. Okay, I'm sorry, because we're on a
- 13:21Speaker 1: live stage. If we were in the studio for a while. Um.
- 13:25Speaker 1: You So she she said that when you guys got engaged,
- 13:33Speaker 1: you were sort of in an open relationship. Yeah. So,
- 13:38Speaker 1: Um she had always like really pushed towards not um
- 13:44Speaker 1: labeling it, I guess and I which I disagree with obviously. Um,
- 13:49Speaker 1: it was like something we had talked about, but also
- 13:53Speaker 1: that like that's not at all where we were we
- 13:55Speaker 1: had been. Ah, it's hard to it's hard to explain. Um,
- 14:03Speaker 1: you go through like a was this just crazy weird
- 14:07Speaker 1: thing that we just went through, Like is this TV
- 14:09Speaker 1: that happened to us? Right? Because I remember there was
- 14:11Speaker 1: like three months between when that happened and when we
- 14:13Speaker 1: were on the show. And of course, like I think
- 14:15Speaker 1: both of you know, you question whether like was the
- 14:18Speaker 1: producers that got in my head like do we care
- 14:19Speaker 1: about each other? Do we? And so there was like
- 14:21Speaker 1: some back and forth and feeling it out, just like
- 14:23Speaker 1: I think a lot of people feel after the show. Um.
- 14:26Speaker 1: And so during that time that I had been had
- 14:29Speaker 1: kind of been pushed away and um, at that point
- 14:33Speaker 1: in time, No, I was not dating anyone else. It
- 14:37Speaker 1: was also something that we had talked about like many times.
- 14:41Speaker 1: So I don't think that I think that's a little
- 14:43Speaker 1: bit of a revisionist history and not exactly how things were. Oh,
- 14:53Speaker 1: it seems like we need to do an in depth
- 14:55Speaker 1: with Derek Path soon. I mean I can sit here
- 14:59Speaker 1: in out and we've talked about it so many times
- 15:02Speaker 1: on the podcast, and and one of the craziest parts
- 15:05Speaker 1: about this show, I mean we have an example right
- 15:07Speaker 1: here sitting next to me. Um, we have examples with
- 15:11Speaker 1: you and I at different levels this show are I
- 15:16Speaker 1: would love this for us. Um, the the show impacts
- 15:23Speaker 1: your real life in a deep way. You know, it's
- 15:26Speaker 1: crazy to watch. Right, I'm watching last week's episode of
- 15:28Speaker 1: The Bachelor. Um, I'm telling you, I've seen this next
- 15:31Speaker 1: week's episode of The Bachelor. It's ridiculous. Can we gotta
- 15:35Speaker 1: tell you one thing. There's gonna be a gift that
- 15:38Speaker 1: goes all across the internet. There's something that happens during
- 15:41Speaker 1: this week's episode that might be one of the most
- 15:42Speaker 1: memorable moments ever in Bachelor history. But that's at the point,
- 15:46Speaker 1: the most dramatic episode ever. I watched this stuff and
- 15:51Speaker 1: I'm entertained, Like I was laughing this week and I
- 15:55Speaker 1: laugh and I joined in. Now as a fan, we
- 15:56Speaker 1: get to meet these people that come off the show
- 15:58Speaker 1: and it's great because they all have these stories and
- 16:00Speaker 1: we always always always talk about this. But there's this
- 16:04Speaker 1: unique moment and every season that I hope fans realize
- 16:07Speaker 1: because I don't think it's it's as much fun to
- 16:10Speaker 1: watch if you don't realize how real it gets. And
- 16:15Speaker 1: my question for you then is Derek, like, how real
- 16:17Speaker 1: was this? Has this whole experience been for you? Because
- 16:20Speaker 1: we're gonna get into Paradise, which I felt like was
- 16:23Speaker 1: one of the most emotional experiences I've ever seen on
- 16:26Speaker 1: the show as well, that's probably the most emotional moment
- 16:30Speaker 1: in my life. Um to me, I've always been as
- 16:33Speaker 1: president as possible when I'm there, So like, I never
- 16:36Speaker 1: I went into the show, not no, I my little
- 16:39Speaker 1: sister sent my information and so like I hadn't watched
- 16:41Speaker 1: the show, and I watched your season, Ben, because that's
- 16:43Speaker 1: where Joejoe came from, right uh. And so I think,
- 16:48Speaker 1: like it's a disservice. I think I think it's a
- 16:53Speaker 1: disservice to yourself if you aren't just like president and
- 16:56Speaker 1: and learning from the experience. So always I've like tried
- 16:59Speaker 1: as best as susible too. Of course, like you could
- 17:02Speaker 1: laugh at it all you want to, but there's also
- 17:04Speaker 1: a real opportunity and there's real relationships come from come
- 17:07Speaker 1: from it, obviously, you know, there's that big I wish
- 17:13Speaker 1: my nails were done for that moment. I let's switch
- 17:17Speaker 1: gears here for a little bit and talk about Paradise,
- 17:19Speaker 1: and this is where Ashley thrives because I've never been
- 17:21Speaker 1: to Paradise. But to lead us into this, Derek, I
- 17:23Speaker 1: want to know Um really for you Paradise, Yeah, I
- 17:31Speaker 1: was gonna say, like he needs an emotional support. And
- 17:34Speaker 1: I think the your experience on Paradise is unlike anything
- 17:39Speaker 1: we've seen it. Uh, it has changed. I think the
- 17:42Speaker 1: tone of the show. You will be directly affiliated with
- 17:46Speaker 1: a moment in Bachelor history that will stand forever. What
- 17:50Speaker 1: was it like for you sitting on the beach. Your
- 17:52Speaker 1: relationship with Demmi was was beautiful, but sitting on the
- 17:55Speaker 1: beach at the moment she looked at you and said, Derek,
- 17:57Speaker 1: this isn't gonna work. And the is why. So I think,
- 18:01Speaker 1: like what people don't see necessarily is there's there's like
- 18:06Speaker 1: three days of lead up to that, right, and you're
- 18:09Speaker 1: holding all of this weight on because because like you
- 18:11Speaker 1: have started to hear kind of things from her um
- 18:14Speaker 1: and it drips day by day and it happens over
- 18:16Speaker 1: the course of like twenty minutes on the show. But
- 18:19Speaker 1: you're spending three whole days like holding this weight on
- 18:22Speaker 1: your shoulders and thinking like positively as much as you can,
- 18:27Speaker 1: but also at the same time simultaneously knowing that like
- 18:31Speaker 1: this crazy thing that has already been talked to you
- 18:34Speaker 1: like that potentially could happen, um, And so I think
- 18:38Speaker 1: that like when those words were said, it's just like
- 18:41Speaker 1: it's that breaking moment of Okay, this is real life
- 18:44Speaker 1: and now you're a part of it. And like there's
- 18:46Speaker 1: obviously a reality like a fourth wall that breaks a
- 18:49Speaker 1: little bit where you know you're you go, wow, this
- 18:52Speaker 1: is gonna like affects people out there like real Um.
- 18:57Speaker 1: You know, individuals work going through this kind of a
- 18:59Speaker 1: process and are actually like processing this themselves, and so
- 19:02Speaker 1: so you want to be uh as best of an
- 19:06Speaker 1: example as you can. And so so this is just
- 19:08Speaker 1: like a thousand pounds on your others that then like
- 19:12Speaker 1: suddenly did did break on me at that point in time.
- 19:16Speaker 1: But I like I loved Demi and I love Christian too.
- 19:18Speaker 1: We all three of us stay in touch in our
- 19:20Speaker 1: own ways. Obviously they're not together anymore, but but we
- 19:24Speaker 1: uh we like FaceTime and texts all the time. Well,
- 19:27Speaker 1: you handled it with such grace. We kept a plotting
- 19:29Speaker 1: how you you handled that situation. You guys thought this
- 19:34Speaker 1: was gonna be fun. That's what they told me. I
- 19:38Speaker 1: have a fun question. So, like, let's imagine you and
- 19:42Speaker 1: JPJ in a room together today. So I was I
- 19:46Speaker 1: actually thought I was gonna see him once in Uh.
- 19:49Speaker 1: You know, there was something in New York that the
- 19:51Speaker 1: event people came up and they were like, did you
- 19:53Speaker 1: know that John's going to be here today? I was like,
- 19:55Speaker 1: John j p j uh and I was is gonna
- 20:00Speaker 1: I don't know if you've ever seen like how Evan
- 20:02Speaker 1: makes fun of Dean from far that was my plan.
- 20:06Speaker 1: I was like, gonna from Afar do Yeah, Um, I don't.
- 20:09Speaker 1: I don't ever care to talk to that guy again, honest.
- 20:11Speaker 1: So if you're in the same room together, you're just
- 20:13Speaker 1: gonna pretend like the other person doesn't exist totally. Like
- 20:17Speaker 1: what he did, yeah, thank you, agree with you what
- 20:25Speaker 1: he did, and like the way he took that was
- 20:29Speaker 1: one of the girls'est things I've ever seen, Like he
- 20:31Speaker 1: took advantage of me too to use it to his advantage.
- 20:34Speaker 1: And I never need to associate with somebody who would
- 20:37Speaker 1: do that. So, you know, John Paul Jones is coming
- 20:39Speaker 1: on our podcast for the first time. Um, and of
- 20:41Speaker 1: course we're gonna ask him what they think about What
- 20:44Speaker 1: do you think about what I just said? So I
- 20:46Speaker 1: was going to ask you what should I ask him?
- 20:49Speaker 1: He's on a podcast which he really frowned upon on
- 20:52Speaker 1: your season. I really want to know if he's ever
- 20:55Speaker 1: answered any d M s, because yes, that's girl right questions.

- 23:17Speaker 1: can a little things. Guys, Guys, I want you to
- 23:22Speaker 1: know that Dean Angler is going to see this video,
- 23:24Speaker 1: so I needed to be a little louder than this. Look.
- 23:28Speaker 1: The next best thing was just like therapy a weekend.
- 23:32Speaker 1: I wanted to be Taylor with you. You didn't catch on.
- 23:36Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. I got a music video,
- 23:40Speaker 1: but then you you weren't playing along, so I felt demoralized.
- 23:43Speaker 1: I don't know what that means to be in a
- 23:44Speaker 1: Taylor video, But I like it. I'm down next time.
- 23:47Speaker 1: I always said that you look like a guy that
- 23:49Speaker 1: would be casting in a Taylor Swift music video. Guys,
- 23:51Speaker 1: I got news for you. I met Taylor Swift once.
- 23:54Speaker 1: It was a pretty crazy experience. It was at a wedding.
- 23:57Speaker 1: We're going to tell the story right now because Nick
- 23:59Speaker 1: v is also involved and he's never shared the story publicly. Well,
- 24:03Speaker 1: Nick Vile is the one that got me into the wedding,
- 24:05Speaker 1: so let's give credit where credit is due. It was
- 24:07Speaker 1: when so I used to live with Nick when I
- 24:09Speaker 1: first moved to l A. He was very kind let
- 24:11Speaker 1: me crash in his house. Guys, you would have loved it.
- 24:13Speaker 1: He walked around with his shirt off constantly, sometimes sometimes
- 24:18Speaker 1: with his pants off, but you know. Um So, anyway,
- 24:21Speaker 1: was my first weekend in l A. He got invited
- 24:24Speaker 1: to a wedding party a reception, but we actually didn't
- 24:28Speaker 1: go to the wedding, but the bride and groom were
- 24:29Speaker 1: bachelor fans. So we went to the wedding and it
- 24:31Speaker 1: was in Santa Monica, and I didn't know who it was,
- 24:36Speaker 1: but we walked in and Jonah Hill and Taylor Swift
- 24:40Speaker 1: were there, and uh they were apparently friends with them,
- 24:43Speaker 1: and so it was this weird moment. At one point
- 24:46Speaker 1: I found myself standing next to Taylor and she turned
- 24:49Speaker 1: to me and goes, Hi, I'm Taylor, And I was like,
- 24:52Speaker 1: what why do I say? Do I pretend that like
- 24:56Speaker 1: I don't know who she is? Or do I just
- 24:59Speaker 1: be like yeah big? So I said Hi, I'm Jared,
- 25:01Speaker 1: and then uh, she found out I was from Rhode
- 25:04Speaker 1: Island and she has a summer home in around So
- 25:06Speaker 1: we bonded it over that, and that's my Taylor stuff story.
- 25:08Speaker 1: It was great guys, very cool, and they like actually
- 25:11Speaker 1: hung out like dancing in a small group of ten
- 25:13Speaker 1: for forty five minutes, and then he called me the
- 25:16Speaker 1: next day we weren't together. I think it's actually more
- 25:19Speaker 1: excited than this story right here. So she's I just
- 25:24Speaker 1: tried to remain like really, I mean like I was
- 25:26Speaker 1: very nonchalantly being like, should she like hit on you
- 25:29Speaker 1: or she flirty towards you? Was not. I was so
- 25:34Speaker 1: thankful for Joe Alwyn at the moment I get rid
- 25:37Speaker 1: of this pillow, it's really uncomfortable. Please move it, alright,
- 25:40Speaker 1: I'm gonna step away the night. One favorite for all

- 26:47Speaker 1: Before we're have we talked about Jared I's relationship where
- 26:50Speaker 1: it began. Jared and my backstage screaming it try living
- 26:57Speaker 1: with her, so I love you. There was night one
- 27:03Speaker 1: of the Bachelorette of Caitlin Bristow's season, and I was
- 27:08Speaker 1: the first one out of the limo, and I'm gonna
- 27:10Speaker 1: tell the story. I would love for you to add
- 27:12Speaker 1: in here as we go, and I'm standing here and
- 27:15Speaker 1: more and more people come in, and more and more
- 27:17Speaker 1: incredibly good looking people that are tall with fitted suits
- 27:21Speaker 1: on um, nice beards, hair slicked back, perfect hairlines. Dude.
- 27:26Speaker 1: When Sean Booth walked in, we both looked atach other
- 27:28Speaker 1: was like, Dan, how does someone how does someone look
- 27:33Speaker 1: like that and talk like that? So I'm standing at
- 27:38Speaker 1: the gate as you see, because all of a sudden,
- 27:41Speaker 1: I hear this man yelling from the parking lot and
- 27:43Speaker 1: I look out and there's this guy who has his
- 27:46Speaker 1: shirt like halfway um buttoned and he has a super
- 27:49Speaker 1: Man thing on his chest. It was love man, okay.
- 27:53Speaker 1: And I look at him and I'm not kidding you,
- 27:56Speaker 1: my very I said, that's the nerd I need my life,
- 28:01Speaker 1: and he was correct. So Jared comes in. I walk
- 28:05Speaker 1: in at that point and I sit on the couch.
- 28:07Speaker 1: You've seeing the Bachelor mansion and I'm sitting in the middle.
- 28:09Speaker 1: I'll never forget this and that whoever the guy that
- 28:12Speaker 1: drank a lot that night? Um, Ryan job, Wow, killing
- 28:17Speaker 1: the game. Don't hide. You should be proud of you.
- 28:21Speaker 1: That's amazing. That's amazing. So Ryan is at this point,
- 28:25Speaker 1: I'm not kidding jump. This is the scene. So if
- 28:29Speaker 1: if you're sitting in the living room, if you look
- 28:30Speaker 1: to your right, there's the pool. Ryan is at this
- 28:32Speaker 1: point jumping in the pool and his underwear. And I'm
- 28:36Speaker 1: sitting there and Jared sits next to me, and I
- 28:38Speaker 1: remember looking at Jared. I said, you can't make this
- 28:41Speaker 1: stuff up. Like we get a front row sea at
- 28:44Speaker 1: a show that millions of people will watch. And I
- 28:47Speaker 1: don't know if I'll be here tomorrow, but I'm really
- 28:49Speaker 1: glad I was here tonight. And Jared looked at me
- 28:51Speaker 1: and he goes, we don't belong here, do we? We're
- 28:57Speaker 1: not comfortable here. No, this is not what I don't
- 28:59Speaker 1: know what we're doing here. Number three and number four
- 29:01Speaker 1: that season. It's pretty cool. So Jared, I really want
- 29:05Speaker 1: to get into a lot louder than that start and
- 29:07Speaker 1: fourth guys. Okay, so fast forward weeks and weeks of
- 29:13Speaker 1: Jared and I hanging out and talking, like working through
- 29:16Speaker 1: this with with Zorn up there? Um yea where the
- 29:21Speaker 1: way up there? You can't see him, it's dark. Um,
- 29:27Speaker 1: we'll bring him down. Um can somebody go grab Zorn
- 29:30Speaker 1: in a second? Um? So anyways, weeks of navigating this
- 29:34Speaker 1: whole journey that is wild and weird and we can't
- 29:36Speaker 1: wait to answer all of your questions about it. But
- 29:38Speaker 1: there's this moment there there's four of us left, and
- 29:40Speaker 1: I think this is really really interesting because it's interesting.
- 29:43Speaker 1: I mean, if it's not to you, well, it's gonna
- 29:44Speaker 1: be great on the podcast. Too bad, because Ben's the host.
- 29:47Speaker 1: He's gonna telling it. We're in Ireland and everybody else
- 29:52Speaker 1: is out on a date. It's just Jared and I
- 29:54Speaker 1: in the house. And at the beginning, I remember sitting
- 29:57Speaker 1: next to him and he goes, we don't belong here, Dewey,
- 29:59Speaker 1: and I said, no, we don't. And then throughout the
- 30:01Speaker 1: experiences be these little moments with Jared's sitting next to me,
- 30:03Speaker 1: be like I can't believe we're still here. I can't
- 30:06Speaker 1: believe we're still here, he get and I'm not kidding
- 30:07Speaker 1: these would happen. And then there is this moment where
- 30:10Speaker 1: Jared and I hadn't been able to talk for a while.
- 30:12Speaker 1: He had just taken a car right across the Ireland
- 30:14Speaker 1: Um with Caitlin. They kissed the Blarnie Larne Blarnie. It
- 30:19Speaker 1: meant nothing, Baby, it meant nothing. I normally don't get
- 30:22Speaker 1: jealous about the Caitlin stuff, but like, we don't need
- 30:24Speaker 1: to get too deep. They just drove across. So we
- 30:27Speaker 1: get to this hotel and Jared and I are sitting there.
- 30:31Speaker 1: Everybody's gone, and and we said, can we just hang
- 30:32Speaker 1: out and talk with the producers? For whatever reason said
- 30:35Speaker 1: do whatever you want. We went down to a steam
- 30:37Speaker 1: room in this hotel. We literally shut the door. It's
- 30:40Speaker 1: a three person steam room. We shut the door because
- 30:43Speaker 1: we knew at that point no mikes or cameras could
- 30:45Speaker 1: be honest, we're in the steam room because you don't
- 30:47Speaker 1: have to wear mike's in the steam room, so you
- 30:49Speaker 1: can really just let well. Also, I mean, if you
- 30:53Speaker 1: have an opportunity to go in to the steam room
- 30:55Speaker 1: with Ben, you don't say no. And here's the coolest
- 31:01Speaker 1: part of the story for me. We sat not this part,
- 31:03Speaker 1: the next part of this. We sat in there for
- 31:05Speaker 1: an hour and a half. Have you ever sat in
- 31:07Speaker 1: a sauna or steam room for an hour and a half.
- 31:10Speaker 1: It's torture, it's brutal. But we just were talking about
- 31:14Speaker 1: life and what was coming next. And he looks at me.
- 31:16Speaker 1: Then I will never forget to see goes no matter
- 31:20Speaker 1: what happens here. What a beautiful experience this is. And
- 31:25Speaker 1: now I look at these two and it all makes sense.
- 31:30Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's so cute that, like
- 31:32Speaker 1: two very important men in my life, my husband and
- 31:35Speaker 1: my co host were just hanging out together so much.
- 31:38Speaker 1: Who would have thought me, Ashley, I've the big Lashes
- 31:42Speaker 1: card Ashley at the time, I would have never thought,
- 31:44Speaker 1: like somewhere in Ireland, these two my husband sitting there
- 31:50Speaker 1: taping the show. And I remember in Ireland, like Ben said,
- 31:53Speaker 1: it was the four of us, and it was the
- 31:55Speaker 1: Rose Ceremony, and it was Sean, myself, Ben and Nick.
- 31:58Speaker 1: Needless to say, I feel too confident, but I'll never
- 32:03Speaker 1: forget that day you turned to me right before we
- 32:06Speaker 1: started walking into the Roos ceremony, He's like, Buddy, I
- 32:10Speaker 1: think it's gonna be one of us that goes home.
- 32:13Speaker 1: And I was like, I looked at him. I was like, yeah,
- 32:15Speaker 1: she's either gonna pick me or this six ft four
- 32:18Speaker 1: better version looking at a better looking version of me.
- 32:21Speaker 1: I wonder where she's gonna go. But no, I I'll
- 32:25Speaker 1: never forget that song. It was a very, uh monumental
- 32:28Speaker 1: moment because I remember early on being close with you,
- 32:30Speaker 1: being close to Tanner Joe Bailey, Ben Uh, but then
- 32:35Speaker 1: it felt like throughout the season kind of everybody started
- 32:38Speaker 1: there was like not clicks, but I remember you were
- 32:40Speaker 1: really close with Sean and then we spent like time together.
- 32:45Speaker 1: But it wasn't till that day in Ireland in the
- 32:48Speaker 1: sauna where it's like, sounds really odd, guys, but it
- 32:52Speaker 1: was just like a moment where you you just like, Okay, yeah,
- 32:56Speaker 1: the mom buddy various. It's been way too long or
- 33:02Speaker 1: to finish up this thought here and and Ben, we
- 33:05Speaker 1: have some questions having I have to start a new
- 33:07Speaker 1: campaign after so I haven't seen Ben Zorn and probably
- 33:14Speaker 1: four years. This is wild. Um. Well, well, if you
- 33:19Speaker 1: have any questions for these, feel free to join in.
- 33:21Speaker 1: We have a really weird question. This is gonna really
- 33:23Speaker 1: throw it off here. But we're sitting at lunch today
- 33:27Speaker 1: and this is gonna get really awkward for a second.
- 33:29Speaker 1: Oh no, you're not gonna bring this one up now?
- 33:32Speaker 1: Do you ever bring this up? Now? Yeah, I'm gonna
- 33:34Speaker 1: bring it up now. This is how far Ashley and
- 33:38Speaker 1: Jared have come in my life. All Right, we're sitting
- 33:43Speaker 1: at lunch. They remember when we started this podcast and
- 33:45Speaker 1: you all listening, I hope you've listened for a few years. Um,
- 33:49Speaker 1: If you remember Ashley at the very beginning, as I've
- 33:51Speaker 1: said many times, she was emotional. UM. She was labeled
- 33:55Speaker 1: the virgin um. She was praised for that, criticized for that,
- 34:00Speaker 1: but ultimately through the podcast we always advocated on behalf
- 34:02Speaker 1: of being honest with yourself, doing what is right for you.
- 34:06Speaker 1: Actually did a great job at that um for years.
- 34:09Speaker 1: And then she meets Jared and she's the fullest, most
- 34:11Speaker 1: confident version of herself, not only physically but also emotionally.
- 34:16Speaker 1: I've seen a change in Ashley that I can't even
- 34:19Speaker 1: tell you. It's been awesome. So listen to this. At
- 34:25Speaker 1: lunch today, they tell me that they're signing on to
- 34:28Speaker 1: sponsor a lubricant brand. We could just leave it at that.
- 34:39Speaker 1: Isn't married life great? Hey wait wait, wait, wait before
- 34:43Speaker 1: I have to say this, that was very funny. Thank you,
- 34:45Speaker 1: thank you for bringing it up. Um, but you guys,
- 34:48Speaker 1: do you remember Joe Bailey? Yes? Do you guys think
- 34:52Speaker 1: that we should bring Joe Bailey back to Paradise Because
- 34:57Speaker 1: Joe Bailey he dated my sister after that whole Paradise
- 35:00Speaker 1: season and he gave me the greatest laughs of my life. Um,
- 35:05Speaker 1: Rose before Rose, before Rose. But like, you know what
- 35:13Speaker 1: was the catchphrase he said, I gotta get that rope,
- 35:16Speaker 1: gotta get gotta get that rose, give me that rose.
- 35:20Speaker 1: I know you guys don't really care, but I really
- 35:22Speaker 1: want to start this campaign and get Joe Bailey back
- 35:24Speaker 1: on Paradise because do you remember what he got in
- 35:27Speaker 1: trouble for during that Paradise season. It was for like
- 35:30Speaker 1: texting Samantha before the season. And now we have Demi
- 35:35Speaker 1: and Christian in a full blown relationship before the season.
- 35:40Speaker 1: A lot of people, a lot of people talk before
- 35:42Speaker 1: the seasons. Now he was just the first one to
- 35:44Speaker 1: do it. Stagecoach, stagecoach exactly. The rules have changed Ashley,
- 35:52Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not again. I'm not against stop that.
- 35:54Speaker 1: He's a very good looking man. It doesn't matter his
- 35:58Speaker 1: personality shineing Ashley ben Zorn sitting over here. So ben
- 36:04Speaker 1: Zorn was on our season of The Bachelorette. Caitlin Bristow's
- 36:07Speaker 1: season The Bachelorette Kylin season was the best. He was
- 36:15Speaker 1: a fan favorite, beloved for his kindness, his teddy bear
- 36:20Speaker 1: like mentality, and also that he absolutely destroyed us in

- 36:35Speaker 1: great knocked Tiggy's out. Yeah, he knocked me out to
- 36:40Speaker 1: two people to get to Zorn, and then Zorne kicked
- 36:43Speaker 1: my ass. To be fair, to be fair, in no
- 36:45Speaker 1: way was that fair. I mean, I'm going in day

- 37:04Speaker 1: this guy before the match. I tried to be a
- 37:06Speaker 1: tough guy and I wanted to and I was like, hey, listen, man,

- 39:06Speaker 1: is how this is gonna work. This is gonna be
- 39:08Speaker 1: the greatest game, live game and almost famous history. This
- 39:18Speaker 1: is gonna be the Bachelor Quiz. So if you think
- 39:21Speaker 1: you know Bachelor and Bachelorette trivia and a second, actually
- 39:25Speaker 1: is gonna step into the audience and pick three of
- 39:27Speaker 1: you to come up here on stage. I promise you.
- 39:31Speaker 1: I may be biased. I may be biased, but the
- 39:35Speaker 1: prize for this is worth it. Before we before we do,
- 39:40Speaker 1: we gotta talk to our ladies up here. Analyze everybody,
- 39:42Speaker 1: give it up for so analyst. Before this whole night started,
- 39:51Speaker 1: actually we're talking about the questions that we want to
- 39:53Speaker 1: ask everybody up here because we've gotten to know you
- 39:56Speaker 1: all a lot over, especially over the last year. But
- 39:59Speaker 1: in least the first question I want to ask you
- 40:02Speaker 1: because you've talked about it many times before since we
- 40:04Speaker 1: first met you on The Bachelor, your life has had
- 40:07Speaker 1: some dramatics up and downs all leading up to these
- 40:12Speaker 1: experience where you kind of put yourself back up on TV.
- 40:15Speaker 1: You try to hold yourself together, you try to do
- 40:18Speaker 1: your best try keyword. What has been the biggest misconception
- 40:24Speaker 1: of you after kind of watching the show back? Oh Man, Yeah, okay,
- 40:33Speaker 1: I had a different question, guys, Okay, um, biggest mixed conception,
- 40:38Speaker 1: I think, Ah, it was really hard watching myself back
- 40:42Speaker 1: the first time around, because I feel like I saw
- 40:45Speaker 1: a version of myself that I had never been confronted
- 40:48Speaker 1: with before. And then when I did Paradise, Uh, it
- 40:53Speaker 1: was very different. Um. I felt more free. I felt
- 40:55Speaker 1: like I could be myself, but people would always call
- 40:59Speaker 1: me desperate, and I felt like that was something to
- 41:01Speaker 1: do with my age more than anything, And I think
- 41:03Speaker 1: that was something that really troubled me because I am
- 41:06Speaker 1: one of the older people in the Bachelor franchise, which
- 41:11Speaker 1: I am proud of. But if it is is that
- 41:17Speaker 1: just because you're of a certain age does not make
- 41:19Speaker 1: you desperate. So and in the real world, I am
- 41:22Speaker 1: not desperate. We're on a dating show. We're trying to
- 41:25Speaker 1: meet people who are trying to make these connections. Like
- 41:28Speaker 1: in that circumstance, you are gonna be a little desperate.
- 41:31Speaker 1: You gotta get that Rose. You know, how did you
- 41:37Speaker 1: feel this week when you saw that there was a
- 41:38Speaker 1: girl that was afraid of pick up because because they
- 41:45Speaker 1: made it seem exactly what they did with your bumper
- 41:47Speaker 1: cars and the dogs. All I gotta say is, if
- 41:50Speaker 1: that girl doesn't make it to the end, she will
- 41:51Speaker 1: be on paradise because they're making her very memorable. So
- 41:55Speaker 1: I feel like the producers knew that they wanted to
- 41:57Speaker 1: bring me back, and I feel like that was their
- 41:59Speaker 1: way of being, like, let's give this girl a good
- 42:01Speaker 1: storyline so that we can really see more of her.
- 42:06Speaker 1: Victoria is not her name, um, so Victoria, I support you.
- 42:10Speaker 1: I feel like trauma comes from everything and anything, and
- 42:14Speaker 1: we cannot dismiss trauma. So before we move on, the
- 42:19Speaker 1: Katie here an list, I prepped you for this question,
- 42:22Speaker 1: and I haven't heard your answer to this, but the
- 42:25Speaker 1: last time I really watched you on Paradise Um was
- 42:28Speaker 1: when you were very much protective of a friend and
- 42:31Speaker 1: you're speaking out against Clay. At the time, it felt
- 42:33Speaker 1: like Analize is the villain trying to ruin something good.
- 42:37Speaker 1: I mean, that was I think our take even on
- 42:39Speaker 1: the podcast, and somebody loves you and friends with you,
- 42:41Speaker 1: but like, what is Analyze doing this seems weird? This
- 42:44Speaker 1: is out of character for her because at the time
- 42:47Speaker 1: the only thing we saw was a love story being
- 42:50Speaker 1: displayed in front of us. Now fast forward to this moment,
- 42:54Speaker 1: we now know that that relationship has ended, it not
- 42:56Speaker 1: in a very pretty way. Do you feel just a fie?
- 43:00Speaker 1: What is your emotion after hearing kind of the criticism
- 43:04Speaker 1: for so long now saying you're right, it's a It's hard.
- 43:10Speaker 1: I struggled with it even being there. I didn't really
- 43:14Speaker 1: want to confront Clay, but I felt like, in that moment,
- 43:18Speaker 1: it's what I would have wanted for myself if I
- 43:20Speaker 1: would have been an Angelis situation. I'm very close friends
- 43:23Speaker 1: with Angela, and all I can say is there's always
- 43:26Speaker 1: more to the story and what you see on TV
- 43:28Speaker 1: is like one percent. So it's it's tricky. Um. I
- 43:35Speaker 1: don't like to say I told you so, but I
- 43:37Speaker 1: feel like tameful circle right, like yeah, so I don't know. Um.
- 43:45Speaker 1: I do think breakups are really tricky though, and I
- 43:47Speaker 1: think now, having some perspective and some time pass, uh,
- 43:53Speaker 1: I would have handled it very differently. I feel like
- 43:55Speaker 1: maybe I would have liked to talk to Clay and
- 43:58Speaker 1: had more of a conversation with him instead of going
- 44:00Speaker 1: about it the way that I went about it onto
- 44:03Speaker 1: Katie here good replicating Katie. The last time we talked
- 44:13Speaker 1: to you on the podcast is about I want to say,
- 44:15Speaker 1: like six seven weeks ago, and it's before you announced
- 44:18Speaker 1: your breakup with Chris. But I felt like, did you
- 44:21Speaker 1: feel like at the time you're on the verge? Like
- 44:23Speaker 1: that was your decision making weak? How what what place
- 44:26Speaker 1: were you in then? And what place are you in now? Shoot?
- 44:29Speaker 1: What is that? On the podcast November early November, it
- 44:36Speaker 1: was all a little rocky. Um yeah, wait, what was
- 44:41Speaker 1: the question? I know it was rocky. How was your
- 44:46Speaker 1: emotional state then and how is it now? My emotional
- 44:49Speaker 1: state my emotional state now is ef and awesome. So
- 44:57Speaker 1: I feel good. I feel liberated and free, is what
- 45:01Speaker 1: I can say. So I feel really good now. Then
- 45:08Speaker 1: I played the fifth But yeah, I feel great now, guys.
- 45:12Speaker 1: So one of the things we were talking about earlier
- 45:14Speaker 1: is Katie has gone into this new chapter where she's
- 45:17Speaker 1: super excited about what's next, and she's created a dream board.
- 45:21Speaker 1: Has anybody out here created a dream boarder vision board before? No?
- 45:25Speaker 1: Not many of us. Wow, here's the thing. Let me
- 45:28Speaker 1: talk to you for a second. You all deserve to dream,
- 45:31Speaker 1: so start dreaming, write them down, attacking. It's it's it's
- 45:34Speaker 1: like a bucket list. So you create a bucket list
- 45:38Speaker 1: because you felt like there was a lot of things
- 45:40Speaker 1: in life you haven't done. What are some of the
- 45:42Speaker 1: things that are now on your bucket list as a
- 45:43Speaker 1: single woman stepping back out into the world. So, yeah,
- 45:47Speaker 1: I created an experiences list because I found that I'm
- 45:51Speaker 1: I love learning, but I'm a googler and I'm just like,
- 45:55Speaker 1: you know what, I'm just gonna google and some on
- 45:56Speaker 1: my couch and learn. But I decided to learn through
- 45:58Speaker 1: experience and try and learned by living, and so I
- 46:01Speaker 1: wrote this list. First of all, I've never been to
- 46:03Speaker 1: Vegas for fun. I'm such a workaholic. I'm going to Vegas,
- 46:07Speaker 1: m I've never been to Europe. I haven't been snowboarding
- 46:10Speaker 1: or skiing. I just like worked my whole life, and
- 46:13Speaker 1: so this year I'm just like doing all those things
- 46:16Speaker 1: that I've never got to do, and I'm doing literally
- 46:18Speaker 1: over one of them. Next week, Katie is heading on
- 46:24Speaker 1: Tuesday to Italy with somebody that you may know. Really well,
- 46:27Speaker 1: who are you going to Italy with? I'm going to
- 46:29Speaker 1: Italy with Demi and then going to New York after that,
- 46:34Speaker 1: then skydiving after that. Then so you know what, I
- 46:39Speaker 1: took all my hard earned money. I worked my butt off,
- 46:42Speaker 1: by the way, so I took all my hard earned money,
- 46:44Speaker 1: even the Instagram money, and uh and I went all right. Next,
- 46:49Speaker 1: we have Sydney, who was such a hot commodity in Paradise. Here,
- 46:54Speaker 1: I felt like, you want, how many dates did you
- 46:55Speaker 1: go on total in Paradise? Just one date? It's not
- 46:59Speaker 1: that hot of comedy. I don't know what you're talking about.
- 47:02Speaker 1: I was a lot of people's friends. You're a lot
- 47:04Speaker 1: of those friends, okay, but you're still very very hot commodity.
- 47:08Speaker 1: But my my biggest question as far as Paradise goes
- 47:11Speaker 1: with you is there was like a cliffhanger or like
- 47:13Speaker 1: an unresolved storyline. And that was what happened with you
- 47:18Speaker 1: and Mike. And why was it one day you guys
- 47:20Speaker 1: were in a relationship. It was great, and then the
- 47:23Speaker 1: next day it was just non existent. Okay, what did
- 47:26Speaker 1: we not see on TV? Well, you didn't see any
- 47:29Speaker 1: of our relationship. What happened was we were actually in
- 47:32Speaker 1: like a couple of weeks relationship. We were actually seeing
- 47:35Speaker 1: each other as much as you can call it that
- 47:36Speaker 1: when we were just like sitting on the beach with
- 47:38Speaker 1: each other. Um, I think it was the wedding. Um,
- 47:42Speaker 1: they were really mean and they took all the couples
- 47:44Speaker 1: and they split us apart, and they were like, figure
- 47:47Speaker 1: out your relationships right now. So I was I had
- 47:49Speaker 1: to go back to the house and he got to stay.
- 47:52Speaker 1: And he came up to me as everyone's like running around,
- 47:55Speaker 1: he was like, okay, what what are we? Basically like
- 47:57Speaker 1: are we? I was like I don't. I don't know,
- 47:59Speaker 1: Like you're going to the wedding, I'm not. And I
- 48:01Speaker 1: wanted him to experience it because if I were in
- 48:04Speaker 1: his position, I would want to see what was out there,
- 48:06Speaker 1: because we hadn't been let out the house at all
- 48:08Speaker 1: at that point. So I love Mike. He's great. I'm
- 48:13Speaker 1: he's awesome. UM, But I let him do his thing.
- 48:16Speaker 1: And then he came back to the beach and he
- 48:18Speaker 1: was like, so I met people, and what do you
- 48:21Speaker 1: think we are? And I was like, well, you sound
- 48:23Speaker 1: like you like them a lot more than me, so
- 48:25Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you do that. So we kind of
- 48:26Speaker 1: had like a conscious uncoupling. But I love Mike, don't worry, um,
- 48:30Speaker 1: but we're just not like romantically a thing. But that's wishes,
- 48:36Speaker 1: you know, here's the thing. And actually we were talking again,
- 48:39Speaker 1: we were prepping for all this tonight and send you.
- 48:41Speaker 1: One of the things that came to mind was how
- 48:43Speaker 1: I mean, I know you don't feel I mean maybe
- 48:46Speaker 1: because of the number of dates you went on, but
- 48:48Speaker 1: we know you were based on conversations with a past guest,
- 48:51Speaker 1: people who are interested in you. One of the questions
- 48:54Speaker 1: for you, and maybe all of you up here, we
- 48:56Speaker 1: can go down the list the line, would you ever
- 49:00Speaker 1: go back on any Batchelor related show and pursue dating
- 49:05Speaker 1: on these shows? Ever? Again? Said We'll start with you
- 49:08Speaker 1: I don't know. What do you guys think? Should I?
- 49:11Speaker 1: I love that you can we have a party to
- 49:13Speaker 1: this question? And who in the franchise would you want
- 49:15Speaker 1: to see there? Okay, all right, let's do it. Um.
- 49:20Speaker 1: So you guys know I've never had a boyfriend before
- 49:22Speaker 1: and I still haven't. So yeah, so I feel like
- 49:26Speaker 1: you're my spirit animal. This is my ear. Um, so
- 49:32Speaker 1: I think if they asked, probably, And to be honest,
- 49:36Speaker 1: I've had a couple of conversations with Matteo and I'm intrigued.
- 49:40Speaker 1: So but we're not supposed to do that, but we
- 49:43Speaker 1: just through d M. So it's like, you know, so
- 49:45Speaker 1: I'm interested in him. I guess. Plus whoever could be
- 49:48Speaker 1: on this next season? So I don't know, we'll see Katie.
- 49:52Speaker 1: I love that like info. Okay, uh sorry, I'm here.
- 49:56Speaker 1: Um what was a question? I you ever go back
- 50:00Speaker 1: on a Baturated show again? And if so, who would
- 50:03Speaker 1: you hope to see there? Yo? Is that you Mike?
- 50:08Speaker 1: All right? Did Mike pay someone to be here? Mike's
- 50:11Speaker 1: Mike's got box? Um. Okay, so as of now the
- 50:16Speaker 1: answers no, but never say never. I would like to
- 50:19Speaker 1: go on a Bachelor related show if it was like
- 50:21Speaker 1: competition based competition, not like that, but like you know,
- 50:28Speaker 1: like a Big Brother situation. But and who would I
- 50:32Speaker 1: go after? I think it's a little too soon for me.
- 50:37Speaker 1: Oh let me tell you. I said give me a
- 50:41Speaker 1: silver Fox in my interview, and I happened to be
- 50:43Speaker 1: talking about Peter Kross, so we all thought he was
- 50:45Speaker 1: coming to paradise. We sat around, like Peter today, it
- 50:48Speaker 1: comes down, and I'm pretty sure it. Looked at Chris
- 50:50Speaker 1: and said, if Peter comes down, you're in trouble. So
- 50:57Speaker 1: who's ye, he's hot too. Give me all the people
- 51:00Speaker 1: from Rachel's season. You're right, Yeah, there's some good ones. Um,
- 51:04Speaker 1: I feel like everything you just said. But it's definitely
- 51:06Speaker 1: like as soon as you say no, I'm never doing
- 51:08Speaker 1: it again, then all of those people reappear. So I
- 51:11Speaker 1: don't know it's a never say never, but I feel
- 51:13Speaker 1: like right now, no really answered the good question. Well,
- 51:17Speaker 1: who would you do? It's so hard. I feel like
- 51:21Speaker 1: somebody just came to your mind. Yeah, Peter, the same
- 51:25Speaker 1: like same Chris. So specifically, Hey, well hey, it's now
- 51:34Speaker 1: time for the greatest game and almost famous live history.

- 56:09Speaker 1: and toebags. Thank you for playing The Bachelor Live on
- 56:14Speaker 1: stage almost famous trivia game. Hey, thank you all for playing.
- 56:27Speaker 1: Now's the time for all of you that Tories and
- 56:29Speaker 1: the audience over here. We gotta give a Tory. Do
- 56:31Speaker 1: you mind coming over here first? We gotta give him
- 56:33Speaker 1: some love to this side of the room. UM, now
- 56:36Speaker 1: is the time where you all we're gonna take I'd
- 56:39Speaker 1: say twenty minutes to answer all of your questions. UM,
- 56:42Speaker 1: please raise your hand, be patient with us. If you
- 56:45Speaker 1: have any questions that you want to ask later. UM,
- 56:48Speaker 1: if somebody's walking around, you can ask him, ask anything,
- 56:50Speaker 1: no limits, absolutely no limits, ask any of us. UM,
- 56:54Speaker 1: let's have a little fun first. Okay, what is your name?
- 56:59Speaker 1: My name is Hannah. And where are you from? M
- 57:01Speaker 1: I live in Oakland. All right, what's your question? Okay,
- 57:04Speaker 1: So my question is if any of you watch the
- 57:07Speaker 1: most recent season of Are You the one on MTV,
- 57:11Speaker 1: which is another dating reality show. A lot of people
- 57:14Speaker 1: think it was the best season. Um, and it it
- 57:17Speaker 1: featured an entirely sexually fluid, bisexual cast. So I'm wondering,
- 57:22Speaker 1: like when you guys think Bachelor might maybe have a
- 57:26Speaker 1: lead or even more contestants who identify as queer. UM.
- 57:31Speaker 1: And I'm also wondering how you could maybe use your
- 57:33Speaker 1: platforms to sort of promote that kind of inclusion. Amazing question. UM,
- 57:42Speaker 1: I'm gonna start on this one. I think like we
- 57:46Speaker 1: had a great start this summer obviously. UM. The difficult
- 57:50Speaker 1: thing is like the cycle that happens, the back and forth.
- 57:54Speaker 1: So I really hope that something does occur at some
- 57:56Speaker 1: point in time. I think it'll have to be like
- 57:58Speaker 1: a standalone thing, so or to the way that are
- 58:01Speaker 1: you the one does it? Right? So? Um, it's its
- 58:04Speaker 1: own separate uh like New Venture. There's there's a whole
- 58:08Speaker 1: quarter of the year that doesn't there's nothing Bachelor related.
- 58:12Speaker 1: So I would love if that happened and then it
- 58:13Speaker 1: like got integrated into everything because there's something missing. I agree.
- 58:19Speaker 1: Good question. Next question, Hey, Hi, what's your name Lindsay?
- 58:23Speaker 1: And where are you from? Nappa? I love Nappa. My
- 58:28Speaker 1: question is for you Ben Um. If and when Chris
- 58:31Speaker 1: Harrison possibly your retires, would you ever would you ever
- 58:37Speaker 1: consider taking over the host position? I've never been asked
- 58:42Speaker 1: this question. Um, yeah, sarcasm um, great question. I was
- 58:48Speaker 1: just with Chris a couple of weeks ago and he
- 58:51Speaker 1: took his job. Yeah. I said, hey, man, take your
- 58:54Speaker 1: time's up now. Um. You know, Chris is super young
- 58:58Speaker 1: still most people don't know this. Chris isn't even fifty
- 59:00Speaker 1: year and so you gotta think. Yeah, so Chris started
- 59:03Speaker 1: this show when he was twenty nine years old. He
- 59:07Speaker 1: was the host of the show when he was twenty
- 59:08Speaker 1: nine years old. So here's the variables that I would
- 59:11Speaker 1: picture in my head with Chris is He's done it
- 59:13Speaker 1: for a long time. He's invested a lot into the
- 59:16Speaker 1: lives of all of us here and the cast members
- 59:18Speaker 1: and the people watching. At some point, you have to
- 59:21Speaker 1: imagine it gets exhausting, like at some point you just
- 59:24Speaker 1: have to imagine that you've seen it before, you've experienced before.
- 59:27Speaker 1: I don't know how much longer he has left. I hope,
- 59:34Speaker 1: I hope. I really hope Chris is around for a
- 59:37Speaker 1: long time, because he is great at what he does. Now,
- 59:40Speaker 1: given the scenario that he retires and they asked me,
- 59:43Speaker 1: of course I would say, yes, it's the best job
- 59:45Speaker 1: in the world. Next question, Hi, what's your name? Rosa
- 59:53Speaker 1: from Granted? So I have UM, a statement and a question.
- 59:59Speaker 1: A statement is to analyst and actually and Sydney and Katie,
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: you are beautiful woman inside and out and I love
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: your girls. Yes. And my question is to Ben are
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: you in love? Oh my love? Oh hell? Yes? Yeah,
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: just to say I got a brag about her. Um.
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: I was. We were sitting at lunch today talking um
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: and we're just all expressing kind of where we're at life,
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: and I said, here's the part about Jessica that I
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: never realized really exists until I met her. That Once
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: I met Jessica and this isn't my life was enhanced
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: at every level. I've never been more at peace with
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: who I am. As you all know, I struggle with
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: my own insecurities. We all do. We all have our stuff.
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: I've never had a partner look at me in the
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: eyes and say I'll fight with this, like with you
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: through this, and that's awesome. So yes, I'm very much
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: up with that girl. She's the best. Thank you, all right.
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: I want a shout out to whoever's birthday it is today, Laura,
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: where are you? Yeah, birthday? Thank you for choosing to

- 1:01:54Speaker 1: is my chance. Um, so my date idea. I know
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: you guys are really busy, so I figured we would
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: sit on my couch, um, eat a wheel of brie
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: and listen to Don't Cry for Me Argentina on repeat.
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: So you chose the exact soundtrack that was in my

- 1:08:06Speaker 1: know that didn't sound like the loudest you could be.
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: That's great. Alright. So this song I wrote about California.
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: This is like this was me like being at peace
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: in my mind and just kind of like chilling in
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: a car. I know that sounds like not very deep,
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: but really that's what it's about. That's all right. So
- 1:08:31Speaker 1: this song is called forty five and hope you guys

- 1:09:26Speaker 1: Can I request Mr Wright? I want Mr Wright do it.

- 1:09:36Speaker 1: give us a couple of lines of Mr Right. It's
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: been a hot minute. Oh yeah, you know, happy on this?
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: All right? All right? Thank good? All right? Um, okay,
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: let's dive in. Let's dive. When we announced that you
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: were coming on tonight, We've talked about this. There you
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: heard the response. You're right here right. It wasn't a
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: massive eruption of excitement like we would expect for somebody
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: who was the one that was chosen at the end
- 1:10:26Speaker 1: of the most recent season of the bachel Threat. And
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: you know the reasons why this is has been No
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: how would you respond to that? Um, it wasn't cheating
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: because I wasn't in our relationship, to be honest. But hey,
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: but here's an important thing that I think we have
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: to do right now, because you have a bunch of
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: people out here who assume and think this, and I,
- 1:10:50Speaker 1: honestly I don't know the story. I'm asking you this
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: because if you did, we either have to agree to
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: give you a second chance. If you did it, then
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: we have to hear the story. So jed, here's your
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: moment to speak your truth, to speak my truth. Wow,
- 1:11:15Speaker 1: I thought I thought I was just saying, UM. I mean, well,
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: for one, I want to just thank everyone here for
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: being so awesome and supportive. That's really cool. Love you
- 1:11:27Speaker 1: for coming out to all of this. Um. I mean,
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: I don't know how many of you have heard the
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: podcast that I've said, but I've been very open and
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: I realized all the things that I did that we're wrong,
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: and I learned from them and have since then moved
- 1:11:42Speaker 1: on and really worked on myself and I'm very happy
- 1:11:47Speaker 1: and it's all good. I'm very happy though, and UM,
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: you know, that was a big lesson. That was hard.
- 1:11:56Speaker 1: It was hard to see two people be hurt. It
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: was hard to see the people coming at my family,
- 1:12:01Speaker 1: and it was just, you know, it's something that in
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: a normal scenario you wouldn't normally experience, but it was
- 1:12:08Speaker 1: just it was crazy and I did learn and from it,
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: I'm better and I'm happier, and that's really all I
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: have to say. I just I've moved on. I think
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: I think you're obviously always get bachelor faithful to say
- 1:12:27Speaker 1: this wasn't right, And you know, I guess ash and
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: I have talked about it many times on and off air.
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: It wasn't right, right. I mean, you just say, this
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: is an experience you've had to learn from, You had
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: had to ask the almost famous followers to give you
- 1:12:41Speaker 1: a second chance. Um, you're happy now though, and before
- 1:12:45Speaker 1: Ashley is unleashed, Um, give one little explanation of where
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: you're at right now with somebody very special to you. Okay, Yeah,
- 1:12:59Speaker 1: So I just really started working on myself, and you know,
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: in the midst of that, I had a really good
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: friend introduced me to someone. So I do have a
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: girlfriend now, so everyone here knows I have a girlfriend,
- 1:13:14Speaker 1: and uh, she's amazing and I'm like so thankful for her,
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: and everything has been going really well and I feel
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: like it's going to continue going well. So you know,
- 1:13:23Speaker 1: you never know what could happen. But I'm just really
- 1:13:25Speaker 1: thankful for all the people that have decided to give
- 1:13:28Speaker 1: me a second chance, and for those who don't. You know,
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: it's I don't blame you. I mean, that's that's that's
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: that's on that's on you at this point, because I'm
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: I'm happy to be moved on. I don't know. I
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: would just say, if you're gonna stay stagnant, stay stagnant,
- 1:13:47Speaker 1: people are moving. Was the song risk that you're just
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: saying for us inspired by a new girlfriend? No, that's
- 1:13:55Speaker 1: actually wrote that song with my friend samu Ari I
- 1:13:57Speaker 1: got two years ago. Okay, so how did you meet you?
- 1:14:01Speaker 1: Your girlfriend? So I had a friend in Nashville. He
- 1:14:04Speaker 1: was like, man, you gotta meet this girl. And I
- 1:14:07Speaker 1: was like, I don't know if I'm like completely ready
- 1:14:10Speaker 1: for any of that. And so a couple of months
- 1:14:14Speaker 1: go by, I'm feeling like I'm not sure what I
- 1:14:18Speaker 1: want at this point. So he kind of like set
- 1:14:21Speaker 1: us up on like an Instagram DM and we started,
- 1:14:25Speaker 1: we started messaging, and then I, you know, took a
- 1:14:28Speaker 1: trip to Miami and I was like, this is amazing.
- 1:14:32Speaker 1: Miami is pretty popping, right. More love via Instagram d M.
- 1:14:38Speaker 1: It's really cool. Jp J doesn't approved, but there's been
- 1:14:41Speaker 1: lots of love that's happened from them. My final question,
- 1:14:45Speaker 1: and this could be your last question that you ever
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: answered about Hannah, but how did you feel about her?
- 1:14:51Speaker 1: Um asking Tyler out on that on that live show
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: and then going after Peter and this season, Um, I'm
- 1:15:01Speaker 1: I'm just so happy. I don't really care. That's fair. Um,
- 1:15:07Speaker 1: so hey, I'll make a statement here for Jed. Um.
- 1:15:12Speaker 1: I don't I don't necessarily know how to live life
- 1:15:15Speaker 1: without giving second chances. And I mean that. I mean,
- 1:15:20Speaker 1: how many of us out here, this is my bien,
- 1:15:22Speaker 1: bitches for the night. How many of us out here
- 1:15:28Speaker 1: have messed up? Raise your ham okay, how many of
- 1:15:31Speaker 1: us have messed up and hurt somebody in the process.
- 1:15:33Speaker 1: Raise your hand and it's never okay, It's never okay.
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: I promise you that I'm not standing here saying it's okay.
- 1:15:42Speaker 1: What happened. Honestly, I have zero idea what happened. Whatever
- 1:15:46Speaker 1: it was, it's pretty messed up. But I will tell
