  Speaker 1: a little introduction. This is the almost famous podcast. Ashley

  Speaker 1: and Eddie is the star of the show and we
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: we have a lot to talk about tonight, like every
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: ridiculous amount. Should we dive into it right away? Yeah?
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: So we had men tell all and an elimination all
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: in one episode. So shall we begin with the first
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: half where we see Bennett come back and very anti
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: climacic to say the least, right, Oh so anti clematic.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: It's just it's frustrating to me, Ashley. And you know,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Bennett is a guy that like we both liked initially
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: and then he just like he kind of had the
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I want to would you call it a slow burn
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: into like not being somebody we loved on the show,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: or was like slow burn into villain hood? Yeah? Yeah,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: But I also feel like he's not like super polarizing.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: He's not a real villain. It's like definitely the kind
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: of villain that you love to hate, Like you love
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: watching him because he's so entertaining and you think he's
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: kind of ridiculous and you're not sure if he's self
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: aware or not. But I have to bring my is
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: this weird? I gotta bring my dad on because he is.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: He's he's just gotten to know Bennett over the past
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks, but he has a lot of feelings
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: on him, and he's been able to see his biggest
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: moments transpire, and I think that it's kind of fun
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: to get a fresh perspective. Well before we bring him on, ashle,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: I just want to mention this. Your dad is a doctor,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: a very intelligent doctor. So his insight is one that
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: we should all listen to. Yeah, do you remember when
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: we had him come onto the podcast when we talked
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: about hand washing and showering with soap with Dean Because
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Dean was very open about how he never used soap,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: and my dad came on to talk about how unsanti.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: That is, well funny enough, and I guess you should
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: be mentioned because it's relevant. My dad actually did his
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: residency through mass General through Harvard, so my dad away
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: is a Harvard Man. Or he is a Harvard Man.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: He trained there for four years, so he's he's a
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: match to Bennett. All right, Ashley, Hey, let's interview your dad.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Bring him on. Okay, I don't have as much botox,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: and I have more socks and he has Wait, hold up,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: hold up, when you say socks, what do you mean
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: you have more socks? Why is that something you're proud
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: of because he doesn't wear socks. I mean, I don't.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: I don't get this thing with the with the pants
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: that are like three inches, you know, two short, no
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: socks and the loafers on. It's just I don't get it,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: especially when you're wearing a suit gripe with him. Is
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: that not a distinguished look? I mean, you're a doctor,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: you operate in a hospital every day. Is the no
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: socks look not distinguished in twenty twenty? Uh No, I
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: don't think so. I mean, I mean I see it
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: on TV. All the time, but I don't see it
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: happening in the hospital. Oh this is great. Well what
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: a start. Okay, Well he also feels like he was
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: absolutely he was. My dad was a little bit mind
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: boggled last week because he got to know Tasha's remaining
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: guys through that episode, and he was like, these guys
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: are great, there's a lot of depth here. And then
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: he was so confused why Tasha, who he thinks is
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: amazing and intellectual and beautiful, still is keeping bettered around. Dad.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Your thoughts, I have no thoughts. It doesn't make any
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: sense to me whatsoever. It's so the whole thing is
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: so cliche. I mean, I don't want I don't know
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: what to say. It's just there's so many other good
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: guys out there, and I don't understand why she was
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: holding on to this. You keep saying though he's not real.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: It's not real. I don't know whether he's acting or not.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: But it is cliche. I mean, it's you know, there's
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: a lot of boatoks, a lot of ego, a lot
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: of no socks, and a lot of short pants. I
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: don't know what else. I don't know what else to say. Well, Hey,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: let's pause. Here for a second because this has been
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: in Ashley and Ashley's father and you'll listen to almost
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: do this podcast recorded live on stereo. Ashley back to you. Yes, okay,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: So well, anyway, we saw the last night's episode, you know,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: she ends up bringing him back, as we saw the
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: you know, at the end of the episode, but then
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: at the beginning where we'd think Benet would come back
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: into the storyline immediately, we don't see him at all
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: until he shows up at the Rose ceremony, tells the
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: other guys that she wrote him a note saying to
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: meet him there, and then he gets eliminated. It's just like,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: what was that? Was that just like another play that
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: was just like another way to get drama out of
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: a not so dramatic portion of the season. You know, Ashley,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: My thought is this, I think I honestly believe I'm
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: with your dad, like Tasha is wonderful. I don't think
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: many people in America will just agree with that, Like
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I think Taysha along with a few other bachelorettes. But
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: it's like, because we're focusing on Tasha, I think Taysha's
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: gonna come out of this as being one of the
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: most beloved leads of all time. And I think when
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: somebody comes to you and drops a bomb on you,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: like Bennett did, I mean, from my experience, like you're
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: always trying to do the right thing, not the right
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: thing for TV and not the right thing for the show,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: but like the right thing for you. And when something
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: like that happens, especially late at night and when all
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: this chaos has gone on, it's hard to process. Like
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: you're tired, so you don't know what to say, and
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: so sometimes the easiest answer is like can this just wait?
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Like can you just give me twenty four hours? And
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: like you stick around because that's no harm, no foul
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: for anybody, Like you stay here and I'll figure this
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: out and when I come back, I'll make the decision.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: But I mean, Ashley, you know better than I do.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: You're a historian of the show. Has it ever worked
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: in Bachelor or Bachelor at history where somebody has gotten
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: eliminated for not like unfair reasons, but for good reasons,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: came back because it's happened, came back and said one
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: another shot, and it's actually worked. No, I've actually never
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: seen somebody leave and then come back to another row
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: ceremony except for maybe myself because I'm thinking back on
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Bachelor and Paradise. And I left. I got eliminated at
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: a ROAs ceremony, and then I came back and I
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: asked if I could have another try, and I came back.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: But I'm sorry, my dad has one other thing to say.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: He's itching to say it, so I gotta give him
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: the mic. Ben, she stuck it to him. She invited
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: him back knowing that she was going to reject him.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: You're trying to say that Casey was trying to give
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Bennett and ego check. Yes, I guess grow theory. That's
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: not a bad theory. It's like I'm gonna reject you
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: yet again. Oh so beautiful. I mean, that would be wonderful, right, Like, Hey,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: let's bring this guy in. Let's like, let's let him
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: get all confident again, and then let's just like make
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: him realize that he is not the one. Hey, I'm
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: not against that, Like, I don't. I don't have no
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: problem with that. If that's Tasia's strategy. Yeah, yeah, it
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: wasn't a bad one. And then it was kind of
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: funny to see, uh, Bennett and Noah both leave at
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: the same time after they were both on that two
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: on one, right, and those are the two guys that
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: got a eliminate at that Row ceremony. I guess we
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: should talking about Riley, who was also eliminated at the
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: beginning of this episode, but didn't leave at a Rose ceremony.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: And I think that was because Tasha had a softer
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: spot for Riley than any of the other guys, especially
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Bennett and Noah. She I think she just respected him
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: a lot. I think she wanted to know how much
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: she like, really like loves him as a person, but
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: maybe maybe not as the romantic prospect. That's right, No,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: you're right, ash Well, Uh, we're gonna dig into Riley,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: We're gonna dig into a little bit more of Bennette,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: the even the no elimination here in just a second.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: But before we do, we gotta stop impause for a second,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: because we are the almost famous podcast this has been
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: in Ashley, and we're recording this live on the stereo app. Actually, Uh,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: before we dive into everything about this episode and we're
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: gonna break it down to the fulls extent, we gotta
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: run through bachelor headlines. You're the expert at this, Uh,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: let me take you through it. We're gonna start with
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: the very first headline in our Rundown Bachelor at Taysha
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Adams ex husband Josh details why they divorced, shades his
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: ex and tell all interview. This according to US Weekly Ashley,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: this is a big deal and here's ben. Yeah, go
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: for it. What's your thought on it? Here's my thought
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: before we get started. Now, Taysha has obviously opened up
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: about her past relationship, which is fair to do, right,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Like even you open up about your past relationships even
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: though you're married. I open about mind they're part of
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: our story. But I've never felt like I've gotten a
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: bad depiction of Josh based on Tasia's insights and her
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: vulnerability towards their relationships. So for him to do this
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: feels like a grab that is unnecessary. But actually I
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: want to pass over to you to break down the story.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: He was given the platform this week by another podcast,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: and I just I don't I don't like the move
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: at all. I think he wanted to clear his name
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: a little bit in the fact that you know, she
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: brought up the cheating a lot in the past couple
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: of weeks, and that being the main reason for divorce,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: and I think the guy just wanted to get out
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: there and say that there were other reasons. There were
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: other reasons for the fact that they got divorced besides
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: his cheating, that they weren't they weren't perfect for each
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: other in other ways and they got married. You don't
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: know all that, but like not at all feels like elaborating. Yeah,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: it's just unfortunate, and you know what, Like, we're gonna
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: celebrate Tasha. She's a part of the Bachelor family. She's
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: a lead in this franchise. She's somebody that America has
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: just fallen in love with. She's done a great job
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: and she hasn't faked her way through that. That's one
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: thing here, as we can all say that Tasha has
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: done this the best she possibly can. So there is
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: no reason to elaborate now, Ashley, We're gonna have a
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: little bit more here in the episode, but I do
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: want to pause here for just a seconds. Say, yes,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: this is live on the Sterea app. Stereo is one
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: of our favorite apps to use. We've done this twice
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: now because it's a fun way to come to all
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: of you. Send in your questions. We'll try to get
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: to him at the end, and if we don't, we'll
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: get to him at another time, I promise. Actually, just
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: a few more headlines here, especially relating to Tasha's season.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Chris Harrison teases rocky ending for Taysha Adams Bachelorette season.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: This according to US Weekly, Yeah, I mean this is crazy.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: So I just want to read it directly because a
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Rocky ending, what could that mean? That means the underdog
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: comes through, right, or at least the underdog makes a
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: real good chance of coming through. Because if we're really
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: thinking about Rocky one, we know Rocky doesn't actually win
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: in the end, but that like he kind of like
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: goes on in a sense. So this is this is
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: what Harrison said this week. He said, you've seen the
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: previews that she's in a dress and there's a couple
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: close calls. Look, she's falling in love. These men are
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: falling in love. But they are all willing to go
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: where But are they all willing to go where she
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: wants this to go? I guess that means an engagement.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Are they willing to take that last step? Maybe those
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: previews show you it's not gonna end. Well, Okay, so
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: here's my quick theory on this. To me, Brendan is
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: such a rocky figure. He's he's a little bit more
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: shy and mirror than the guys that are front runners
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: on the show, and he's the one that has expressed
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: the most hesitance or at least I've perceived so far,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: about getting engaged. At the end of this, he's a
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: little worried about meeting the family this week, and then like,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: is he gonna be ready for a proposal? I don't know.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: We see him pondering this in the scenes in the
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: next episode, so I think maybe we'll even know more
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: about this tomorrow. But I can see if it's gonna
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: be a Rocky like ending. Maybe maybe Oh my gosh,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: oh my gosh, Oh my gosh. Am I totally in
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: misintermining this. I'm thinking Rocky Rocky the movie. And then
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Harrison's talking about a rocky ending as in like a
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: shaky ending. To my own theory, Actually, I was gonna say,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: I think you're far off here. I think I think
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: this ending for Tashia is one that we're all going
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: to feel for. Yeah, you must have had a big
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: dinner night, because I really think all this means is
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: that this isn't gonna go according to how we think.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a beautiful thing for Tasha.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: I think she uh is going to walk out of this,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: though not with the expectations that we all have. And
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: but yeah, like rocky type of music. Who knows, maybe
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Brendon does run up the stairs and pushes his hands
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: in the air and celebrates at the end of I
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: don't know. I was so deep with that without analogy.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know that deep. I don't know. I don't
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: know if that No, I went really deep with that,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: like analogy, thinking it was rocky and being totally mistaken
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: for my interpretation totally a second, my dad just whispered
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: to me, He goes, the problem is she sent the
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: wrong guy home. I think he's Riley. Riley is an
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: incredible figure on this show. Huge biceps, very good looking dude,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: and he handled the exit really well. But actually, before
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: we get into Riley's exit, let's do this. We are
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: recording this live on the stereo app. And also we
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: want to give a shout out to a firm. Actually,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: a firm is somebody that supports our podcast because we
• 15:09

• 15:13

  Speaker 1: eligible customers. Ashley, we'll go through more headlines later, but
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: before we do, I want to take a few questions
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: from the people watching this on the stereo app right now. Again,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: we're live on the stereo app. Yes, please send in
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: your questions, Ashley. You ready for this? We never know
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: what we're gonna get. I love questions and I loved
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: their audio. Go for it. Do you guys actually think
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Bennett had a chance, Like really did he have a chance?
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: I mean I thought he did when she had him back,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: because I was like, it's got to be there's gotta
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: be some pull there to even let him back in
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: the house. But you know, no, no, no, no, Then
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: why did she even let him back in? I don't
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: because it was too much, too soon. She just couldn't
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: say no at that point because she didn't know what
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: was happening. So you understand how like you just don't
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: want to do certain things at certain times. So that
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: must have been what it was. Tired. You're tired because
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: as soon as you sendbody, send somebody home, then you
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: have to sit into an interview and explain why you
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: sent them home. It's going to be another two hours
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: before you get to bed. If you just say, hey,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: you go do your thing, come to the rose ceremony later,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: then everybody's happy. You get to go to bed on time.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: And are you telling me that this actually like you
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: really think Bennett had a chance above zach or No, no, no, no.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: I thought maybe he had a chance of going to
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: hometowns just to be that fourth guy. Maybe not that
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: the chance to win. Okay, fine, I'm ridiculous, I'm ridiculous.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: But I thought that perhaps perhaps we were missing something
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: in that relationship that we weren't being shown because she
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: even said during that two on one last week that
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: she was expecting to give him the rose, meaning he
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: would have been going through Oh, he would have gotten
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: through that row ceremony, but probably been eliminated at this
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: past rose ceremony. Okay, okay, all right, let's take another question. Yeah,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: so was anyone else uncomfortable when Bennett put his hand
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: on Zach and Zach said, what the hell are you
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: putting your hand on me for? Uncomfortable? I don't know.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: I just thought it was like Bennett being Bennett. It
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: was funny for us to see you know who Bennett
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: kind of reminds me of, and like, I love this
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: person dearly because I've gotten to know him personally. And J. Yeah, yes,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: it's JJ from Caitlyn season. You know. Bennett though, like
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: has played it up more than JJ ever did, because
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: JJ showed a vulnerability and like a desire to be
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: there more than Bennett did. But like Bennett has that
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: just like prestige. But yes, I found it uncomfortable, but
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: mostly on the side of Bennett. Like I think Zach
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: had every right to be like, dude, hey, like you
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: just came back. You just added one more person to
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: this whole thing. I'm not happy you're here. Please don't
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: touch me, like there's no reason to touch me here,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: like you were gone and I was good with it.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Nobody was sad that you were gone. Okay, one more question, Ashley. Again,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: this is live on the Stereo app, So if you
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: have a question for Ashley nine, you want to send
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: it in here? Uh, you can do it because we're
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: live right now on the stereo app recording the almost
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: famous podcast. What did you guys think when Tasha had
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: to straddle Blake for the breathing exercise? Was that I
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: did not like good emotionally connecting exercise or was everyone
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: just as uncomfortable as I was? Do you remember when
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Jojo had to do that with Chase? I do, yes,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: It's yes, there's like a lot of that tantric sex
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: but not sex, but like breathing and yoga that goes
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: on on the show, and sometimes it's cool and sometimes
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: it's uncomfortable. And I just felt like a little bit
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: uncomfortable here, mainly because they didn't have the chemistry that
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: I thought Jojo or Chase had, Because these two, like
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: they weren't connecting and then she had to sit on
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: top of them. If you're connecting, then it's not as
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: owat to watch or as uncomfortable for the two involved.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Well maybe I'm crazy here actually, but like if you
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: and Jared had to do that date right now, like
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: you're married, it would actually still be awkward. Yeah. I
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: was going to say, like if Jessica and I were
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: called on the date and then somebody said, you need
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: to sit on Vin's lap, like six inches from his
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: face for the next for the next twenty minutes, staring
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: into his eyes and like just focus on whatever it
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: is that's going on. Like I feel like I would
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: be uncomfortable. I'd be like, Hunt, you need to like
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: get off, Like, I don't know, this is getting weird
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: at every level, right, Like, no matter what, it's going
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: to be a little awkward. Maybe I'm crazy. No, No,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: it's definitely going to be awkward in general. But it
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: was specifically awkward and I almost felt bad because there
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: wasn't chemistry there. Yeah, and then like it was so
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: awkward at the end of it, when like Blake was like, man, yeah,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: I really grew into feeling cool with it, and then
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: she was like, yeah, I never got it. I never
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: I never got there. I just wasn't feeling it the
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: whole time. Astulely, I'm gonna try one of these here, Uh,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: we're gonna do one more one more question or two
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: more questions. Okay. So Ed says that Chasin is the
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: three f's that's fake, fraud, and phony. We know phony
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: doesn't actually begin with an F. But that's why I
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: think Ed is so brilliant here with a statement with
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: an analysis that concise that perfect. Do you think that
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: he should still be a contestant? I do? Wow, Well
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: that question was from Easton and that was that is
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: a great point. I do you even think Ben that
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Ed realized that phony starts with the pee? Yeah? I do,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: because he called it out you Oh okay, okay, someone
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: called it out. Yeah, he called it out. I think
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: he did. I think that's what what's brilliant about Ed?
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: I think Ed? Sorry I did I missed that? Yeah? No,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: I think he's really smart. In fact, I think he's
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: so smart that he gets in his own way because
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: he kept trying to outsmart many people along the way,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: and he just did ended up making himself look like
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: a drama causer. Yeah. Well, can I just talk about
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: the fact that they even spoke about Chasin, Well, Chasin
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: wasn't there. I thought that was really bizarre during the
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: mentel all portion of the episode to even have Chason
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: be brought up when he wasn't there to defend himself. Yeah,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: well what that? Okay? Before we get into breaking down
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: the episode, actually let's pause here and talk about this
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: because let's skip ahead to the end of the episode,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: which is the mentel all because it was Yes, it
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: was dramatic, as Chrissette Harrison said, it was heated, but
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: we didn't get a lot out of it. You know,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: I don't even want to mention Joseph's name during this
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: just be the only time we do it. It was pointless,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: it was wrong, it was bad. He didn't do anything
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: good for anybody in that whole thing. But there was
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: this level where there's a few characters that we didn't
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: see on the mentel all that we expected to see,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Chasen being one of those. Why bizarre he wasn't there? Yeah?
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Why were there some like very standout characters not on
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: this mentel aw? I don't know who can you think
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: about it than Chasing? I mean, you know who else?
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Isn't it weird that Easy wasn't there? Well, it's weird
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: that Easy wasn't there. I'm trying to look up here
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: the cast members to this season as we go along here,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: but I do know that, yeah, there was only how
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: many of them were there? How many there were there there?
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Like in that audience, maybe twelve I was gonna say twelve,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: uh huh, Yeah, there's twelve of them, and I feel
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: like there was more than twelve standout characters this year, right, Yeah.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: But then at the same time, you know that they're
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: being very safe with COVID. So what they did was,
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: and I think I can say this, they filmed this
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: at Nemicolin. They filmed this reunion at Nemicolin while they
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: filmed when they filmed Matt season, so they were only flying.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: I think they were only gonna fly out a couple
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: guys they knew they would get good content from. But
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: I still think they would get pretty good content from
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Chasing and Easy, So that doesn't really explain why they
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: were there. Other mentionables Joe is Joe Oh, who everybody
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: loved like such an underdog. Everybody loved Joe and Spencer,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: and Spencer was her first impression Rose, and we know
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: that not much developed there, but it's still would have
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: been nice for them to like kind of talk about
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: why we never saw anything blossom. Isn't it weird that,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, were I was thinking about that after this
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: week's episode, Like, you know, obviously Joe, somebody, I think
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: we should have been there more than Chasin more than Spencer,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Like Joe was loved, he was caring. But then you
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: have Spencer, who was the first impression Rose on her
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: season and we never really never heard from him again,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: like we thought he was going to be a drama
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: started and then he just disappeared. Is there is there
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: something I missed or forgot this season about him because
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: he was just gone about for who Spencer? No Spencer?
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. I mean I think they
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: tried to give him drama in the beginning, but they didn't.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: I was a little distracted by the fact that like, okay,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: so you know how Joe's antasysiologists, and and being that
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: my dad is here an antasysiologist. Dad, why do you
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: think an antithysiologists wouldn't go far on the Bachelorette? Because
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: you say that they have personalities, they have what's what's
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: their mo o? Because like apparently every and aren't you
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: like the aren't you known as the nerds, which kind
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: of reflects, well, yeah, we're nerdy, we like, you know,
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: computers and you know technical stuff, and yeah, okay, fun.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: That wasn't as good as I thought it was going
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: to be. Sounds great. He just said they're OCD, which
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: is interesting. Maybe he was too like he was just
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: too nervous the entire time. Anyway, Joe was a great character.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: We'll see more of him in Paradise if he doesn't
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: have a girlfriend. But as far as Spencer, to answer
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: your question, I just don't think that Spencer has I
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: just think that he just wasn't an interesting character and
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: they had nothing but a physical chemistry. Well, actually moving
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: on to the episode, we obviously just talked about Blake's date.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Blake was a figure on this season that was loved
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: that we believe would go far. We didn't know how far.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: He had a one on one with Tasha that didn't
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: end well. Blake ended up going home, but that kind
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: of like catapults us into the rest of the episode.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: It was also the most obvious thing ever. It was,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: I mean even their eye contact during that date, Like
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: when they were sitting at each other, he was staring
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: at her her eyes and you can just see that
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: she didn't want to be there, like she just didn't
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: want to Oh and I wanted to let the audience
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: know that we actually have Blake coming on the podcast
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: this week, so you'll be able to We'll be able
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: to ask him these questions, you know, about like how
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: the intimacy was on the state, if it was obvious
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: to him, whether he was eliminated, And of course we
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: will get We'll get you guys to get to know
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: Am a little bit better. The guys didn't expect Tashia
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: to walk into the room in the next part of
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: the episode, and this is where things get pretty I think,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: just maybe the most like heart wrenching part of the
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: season so far. Well, it was not only Blake's departure,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: but then Tasha needed to go in and talk to
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Riley walk Everybody out there listening through this Riley segment,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: I feel like when we saw Tasha walk in there
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: so emotional, we knew she was going to eliminate someone.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: And in my gut, I was like, Okay, she's going
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: to eliminate someone that we all feel very attached to,
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: a very sympathetic character. And I thought it's going to
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: be Ivan or Riley, And it was Riley. I actually
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: thought like, as as the season progressed, I actually thought
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: it was going to be reversed. I thought Riley was
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: going to get a hometown, Ivan was gonna get sent home.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean you could see like Riley was
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: just kind of like, what did I do? Like was
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: it you know, was it me? Like? What is there
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: anything I can do? And she just she's just like
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: I love the fact that at the mentell All portions,
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: she you know, she clarified it wasn't at all the
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: story that he told her, because like how heartbreaking was
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: it that like he spent months wondering whether he loaded
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: too much on her. That was so sad. But you know,
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: I mean I think she just I think she could
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: have brought him to hometowns, but she just knew he
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: wasn't going to make Top two and she didn't want
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: to bring the family into it because she know she
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: knows his history with the family and she just didn't
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: want him to get more emotionally involved. But I think
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: like in her heart, he probably placed higher than he
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: got eliminated. Does that make sense? It does? And it's
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: also kind of that unique scenario where and we've talked
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: about it on the podcast many times before, where you
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: see a guy like Riley where he's gonna be fine
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: and like, I know this hurts him because he's losing
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: an amazing woman in Tasha, but like the growth that
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: he's had as a person, his vulnerability through this process,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: the way he's allowed himself, and then even his exit
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: with telling Taysha like, hey, I would love to sit
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: here and talk this through with you. I know I'm
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: going home, and the longer I sit here with you,
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: the more it hurts. Like that is a sign of
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: incredible maturity. He is gonna be fine, but it hurts
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: to see him go. Actually, we do have a few
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: more questions that got sent in. Should we listen to
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: him real quick before we move into their second row ceremony? Yes,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: I would love to. My dad agrees with the one hundred.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: He's now he's a co a silent co host. I love.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: What is your favorite and least favorite experience on the show? Oh,
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: this is a macro question. My favorite experience on the show,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: and this is so well, okay, so obviously it's meeting
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: my husband. Uh, it's the first moment that I laid
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: eyes on him. It's like one specific conversation that never aired,
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: and it was probably like our first emotionally intimate time
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: where we like kind of like got to know by
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: each other's families and our interests and stuff, and it
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: never aired. But when I think back on the show,
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: besides Jared, I just love the community that comes out
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: of it. I loved how on the Bachelor it felt
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: like a big sorority house. I loved just being able
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: to develop relationships without the distractions of technology and stuff.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: And especially when you get to be like in your
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: upper twenties and stuff, you don't really make friends as easily.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: But when you're in the Bachelor house and you're like
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: all in one situation together, you guys click real fast
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: about you. Yeah, well, I think mine would go back
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: to like my time on the Bachelorette, when I admitted
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: my biggest insecurity for the first time of my life,
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: like even to myself, and it aspired. You know, it's
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: kind of led me into today, Like it's how I
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: know myself today. It's allowed me to be more vulnerable,
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: It's allowed me to be more open during my time
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: as the Bachelor. I would not be the same man
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: today if it wasn't for that moment where I felt
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: comfortable enough saying like, hey, I don't feel like I
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: know myself or I don't feel like anybody else really
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: knows me either. I think it's just kind of catapulted
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: me into the next phase of my life, which is
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: something I'm eternally grateful for now. Ashlely, the reason that
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: we can answer these questions live right now is because
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: we are We're live on the stereo app. This is
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: the almost famous podcast. I'm Ben and my co host
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: is Ashley here Ashley moving in high and we also
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: have our dance in the background. Probably super invested in
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: this whole thing, but I think he wants a mic
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: for next episode. Let's do it. We have a roaster.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Many talk about Bennett walked through the door out of nowhere.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: We all know his viewers at Bennett's there. The guys
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: have no clue. Actually tell everybody listening, like what it's
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: like to have kind of these things happen when you're
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: sitting there and you don't know what to expect. And
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: then also were you shocked by the outcome? I was
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: actually shocked that the guys didn't make more of a
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: hoopla about it. They were kind of like, oh, what
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: are you doing here? Oh? Tsha wrote me a note.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: I asked to come back. She told me to meet
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: her here, and they were like okay, Like I think
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: they were just like, all right, if we started drumbling
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: with this guy, we know it's not going to be
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: good for us, so let's just sit back. But then
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: but then, you know, of course we see him get eliminated.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: I think I think every guy in there knew that
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: he was going to get eliminated, and that's why they
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: didn't freak out. What do you think? I'm with you.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: I don't think anybody was super intimidated by Bennett. I
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: think they were more confused. I don't think anybody was like,
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: oh my gosh, like this Bennett guy is here to
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: stay now. In fact, I think they're just like, this
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: is sorry for Bennett, Like he's just gonna get embarrassed,
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: embarrassing you know what else? Ben? What was so weird
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: was that, like I was thinking before Tasha walked into
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: the room, that she was going to walk in the
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: room and be like, Bennett, what are you doing here?
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: Like I I didn't believe that she wrote him a letter.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: I thought that like the letter thing was going to
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: be made up or something. And I also would have
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: thought that she would have said something like I see
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: you guys, see Bennett here. I brought him back because
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: of so and so but like she didn't address him
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: at all, and it was just a little bit bizarre
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: to me. I'm sure she did it, probably just didn't
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: make the cut. Yeah, and who knows that she did,
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: because I mean, am I w things are blurning together?
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: But she canceled the row ceremony or the cocktail party? Right?
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay maybe so I don't think she had
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: any doubt what was about to happen. And then that's fine, right,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Like again, we got to give her credit, like she
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: is walking through this process as a lead, trying to
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: make the right decision for herself and for everybody involved.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: And so when something like this happens, like if she
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: needs more time, give her more time. It's Bennett's decision
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: to even show up and give and risk it. Now,
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: good on him risking it, but he can't expect to
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: stay after I expect to stay after she just said, hey,
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: how about you stick around and give me some time? Yeah,
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: but I also think that the way he departed was
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: very respectful this time. He was just like all right,
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: it's not me, but you know, like good luck, and
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: like I'm disappointed, but I'm happy for you, you know,
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: Are you shocked? Are you shocked at Noah and Benet
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: went home at the same time. No, I think that
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: I thought she was gonna eliminate both of them last
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: week together. Really yeah, what kind of I mean if
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: without the Bennett drama, Noah didn't really have a strong
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: showing this season. Had the mustache seen the mustache? She
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: scene took him far? It did, but like without that,
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: he he I don't think he's like a bad dude,
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: but he's not exactly like memorable in the sense of
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: like Noah stands out especially compared to the other characters
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: without the Bennet drama, Like the Benet drama is the
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: one thing that helped him the most, which leads us
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: into the mentel all. Now, actually this mentel all starts
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: out and it just gets heated, which is I don't know,
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: tell me, is it Is it fun for you when
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: the mental all gets heated so quickly? Or would you
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: rather just be like a slow burn some more intentional conversations?
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: Because I felt like it just got heated fast and
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: then died off and we were done slow burn for sure.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: I liked the build up. I like to like see
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: the tension growing. I thought that the wind till all
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: was a little interesting because obviously they excluded Claire, and
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: that is good for Claire's sake, but the audience may
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: have missed out a lot because But I understand why
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: they did this because if they did have Claire, it
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: would have been more like the guys ganging up on
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: Claire for leaving early and not giving them a chance,
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: So it'd be more like an attack on Claire than
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: like the guys attacking each other. So I understand why
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: we didn't do that. That's a good that was a
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: good decision. But with these guys, I just don't feel
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: like there was a lot of I just don't feel
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: like there was a lot of drama to rehash. And yeah,
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: it just seemed like pretty like pointless, Like Noah and
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: Bennett obviously got nowhere the yos of thing, like he
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: didn't even want to say his name. But I do
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: want to bring up the fact that it was unprecedented
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: for Chris Harrison to say, hey, you look really bad
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: right now, and I'm trying to help you here, but
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: like this is not going to go over well for you, buddy,
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to give you a moment to decide
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: what you want to do. And he just continued, like,
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: the guy makes me nervous. Well, it's one thing he ignores.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: And you and I both had to admit to this, right,
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: because you come off the show and you get a
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: ton of attention, or let's make it outside of the show,
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: like you're in life and things are all going well
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: for you, and you feel like you're thriving, right, and
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: so you start to set up walls to act like
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: you're doing better than you are. Accountability is actually a
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: beautiful thing. And when people around you that have no
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: betted interest in you succeeding, right, Like nobody there really
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: has an interest in Yoseph succeeding or looking better. But
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: when you have a bunch of people saying, Yosef, you
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: were wrong, like you were mean, you're disrespectful, you're hypocritical,
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: and then you have the host of the show going, Yoseph,
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: I'm going to give you a shot here, no look internally,
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: and he still ignores it, like likes so crazy, it's
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: really bad, it was so bad. You'd think that, like
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: he'd watch himself on the show, right and really internalize
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: a lot and feel really bad and truly sorry. And
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: the guy just came back wanting to push his his
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: like gross thoughts further down every one's throat by just saying, hey,
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: this is my opinion and I'm going to stick to it. Well, hey,
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: here's the thing. Your opinions aren't always true. They're not
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: they're not always helpful, they're not always good. We can't
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: trust our opinions for everything. I can't trust mine. Actually,
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: you can't trust yours. Nobody can trust their opinions to
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: be truth all the time. We've got to look their accountability. Yeah,
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: that's that's that's actually a big pip pep peep of mine.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: When people like articulate their opinion as it is fact,
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: it's like no, no, you think or you believe, but
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean that it is true. M hm. It feels
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: very similar to self describing. Actually, we have two more
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: questions here to get to Again. The reason that we
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: can answer these questions are because we're on one of
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: our favorite apps, the stereo app. We're live right now.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: This is the almost famous podcast it's been and Ashley
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: here talking the Bachelorette recap. Ashley, here's a question, who
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: would you guys like to see on Paradise this summer?
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: I think we all want Joe on Paradise. I think
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: Riley definitely want Riley on Paradise. Yeah, I want Oh
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: my gosh, why is his name slipping my brain? Who's
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: the guy that left because he was too hung up
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: on Jason? Jason? Those are my top three. I would
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: have to agree with you. I think I think we're
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: gonna see Bennett because he's a character. Oh, I want
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: to see Bennett. I want to see Bennett on Paradise.
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: He's gonna be so hilarious. Yeah, you know what, I
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: really enjoyed watching Riley. I think there's some some guys
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: that are still left on Tasha's season. I think all
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: of them would be guys that I would be interested
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: in seeing stick around for Paradise. I think she has
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: a really solid group of guys, and I would like
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: to see how they kind of move into the Paradise
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: because in Paradise, you get to see a little bit
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: more of everybody, Like you get to see if they
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: get like, if their drop, if the drama comes out.
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: But I would I would agree with you in your
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: top three. Uh, and I would add all of Tasha's
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: remaining men, whoever she doesn't choose, if she chooses somebody
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: to the list as well. Ashle Let's get to another
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: question live on the Stereo app. Who do you think
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: was kept in the season for way too long? I
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: mean probably, But even though at least I know he's polarizing,
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: I know a lot of people don't agree with me here,
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: he was fun to watch, So in that case, I
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: don't mind him being around a long time. The other
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: person that I think was around maybe a little bit
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: Pierre beyond what I felt would have been Blake. I
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: just didn't feel anything between him and Tasia. Yeah who Blake?
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, yeah, I mean I think, but I
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: don't think we got to see that to the end.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: And I think he did just enough to stick around
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: as long as he did. Right. He was sweet, Yeah,
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: he was real. He was something like that every season.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah he was. Well. Actually, we have two minutes remaining
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: on this episode, and I wanted to get your thoughts
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: on the blueper reel because some are saying it's the
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: best blooper reel of all time. It was one of
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: the greatest in a long time. I'll tell you that
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: because I feel like the blooper reels have been really
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: slacking the past couple of seasons. It's just like bugs
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: or something, or like a mic falls like big whooped
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: you do. In this we saw Claire eating and that
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: is that satisfied me fully when she was going through,
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: like the dessert, the drink, the sandwich, all of that
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: in one shot. Fantastic. Claire's bloopers are really good. This
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: is This was I would say one of the best
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: blooper reels ever, because I think you're right, it was real,
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: it was authentic and maybe because they're in one location
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: long enough. I do have one question for you, and
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: we have about twenty seconds to answer it. Why wasn't
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: Blake waxing Kenny? I don't know can He doesn't even
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: look like a Harry guy to me. Maybe he is,
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: and maybe that is all waxing, which just feels so painful,
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: so so painful for Meine Well, Ashley, we want to
• 44:01
