- 0:12Speaker 1: to be with you this week. We have a great
- 0:15Speaker 1: show prepared for you. Actually, I have a lot to
- 0:17Speaker 1: catch up on. I've actually missed, actually a lot. I
- 0:19Speaker 1: haven't talked to her and it seems like I don't know,
- 0:22Speaker 1: three or four days. Actually, how you doing? It has
- 0:27Speaker 1: felt so long. It's only been seven days since we
- 0:29Speaker 1: sat here together actually in studio, and I've been great.
- 0:33Speaker 1: It's been a pretty relaxing week for me. Actually, I've
- 0:35Speaker 1: be't had one of those for a while. I haven't
- 0:38Speaker 1: seen you since I was and we can't get into details. Um,
- 0:41Speaker 1: but you know, I guess we talked the day after
- 0:44Speaker 1: lip sync battle and uh, and that was the last
- 0:47Speaker 1: moment I've been able to lay eyes on you. And
- 0:48Speaker 1: at that time I still had um makeup on my
- 0:51Speaker 1: face from the night before. So this I promised today
- 0:55Speaker 1: my makeup is a little less than last time. Well
- 0:58Speaker 1: tweet me guys, um, Ashley, I go to tell me
- 1:01Speaker 1: what you think about guyliner, because I think Ben rocked it.
- 1:04Speaker 1: And back into late two thousand's when it used to
- 1:06Speaker 1: be a more common thing. I was so into it.
- 1:09Speaker 1: I think it's so sexy. I mean, I want to
- 1:11Speaker 1: miss some to you and uh, And I didn't know
- 1:13Speaker 1: if I do this or not. I'm kind of into it. Yeah,
- 1:18Speaker 1: did in the mirror and was like did. I don't
- 1:21Speaker 1: know if you noticed. But the next day when I
- 1:23Speaker 1: came into studio and everybody's like, oh, here's some stuff
- 1:25Speaker 1: to help you get it off, and I was a
- 1:26Speaker 1: little hesitant. I was like, oh, it's not working. You know,
- 1:29Speaker 1: it's you know, it burns my eyes. I didn't want
- 1:32Speaker 1: to take it off. I knew I had an excuse
- 1:34Speaker 1: to have it on. I don't know, I don't know.
- 1:37Speaker 1: I mean, why does it become a thing again? And
- 1:39Speaker 1: then Nick uh posted a picture of Wells, Nick and
- 1:43Speaker 1: I at lip sync battle right after I got off stage,
- 1:46Speaker 1: and I read you the comments and they're hilarious. I mean,
- 1:49Speaker 1: I'm just everybody's super confused and hating on me for
- 1:51Speaker 1: having guyliner on. And there's a lot of things when
- 1:54Speaker 1: it comes to social media that kind of offend me
- 1:56Speaker 1: and make my skin crawls' super upset. This one I
- 2:00Speaker 1: was I was oddly confident in So I don't know,
- 2:06Speaker 1: I just had to admit that to you and everybody listening. Well,
- 2:08Speaker 1: I'm glad that you do feel confident in makeup because
- 2:11Speaker 1: you look great in it. And uh, is that illegal?
- 2:13Speaker 1: Like quote illegal um of Nick to post because I
- 2:17Speaker 1: want to post the picture of you with guyliner on.
- 2:20Speaker 1: I mean, no, I don't think so. I mean, let's
- 2:22Speaker 1: think that it was a blast, right, it was a
- 2:23Speaker 1: great show. I had one of the best experiences I've
- 2:26Speaker 1: ever had. I think as long as we don't give
- 2:28Speaker 1: away the details, Um, I think showing that kind of
- 2:31Speaker 1: behind the scenes of it would be great. I mean
- 2:33Speaker 1: I won't. I hope everybody watches it because it was
- 2:35Speaker 1: a really good time. I think Rachel and myself really
- 2:38Speaker 1: went all out. Um and so as long as nothing's
- 2:42Speaker 1: spoiled and and just a picture shared, why not what
- 2:46Speaker 1: we can apologize later? Well you know what picture I
- 2:49Speaker 1: will be using now to promote this week's podcast once
- 2:53Speaker 1: the uh one of you like in rock Star Attire.
- 2:58Speaker 1: Oh that's awesome, um be, I'll be excited to see you. Know,
- 3:01Speaker 1: it's been a good week for me, Ashley. I I
- 3:04Speaker 1: just launched we talked about it. Last week, I just
- 3:06Speaker 1: lost Generous Coffee Company UM and UH. I was actually
- 3:09Speaker 1: in Warsaw, Indiana with myself and the two other founders
- 3:13Speaker 1: UM this weekend kind of preparing for our launch and
- 3:16Speaker 1: and obviously the stuff that happened in Vegas put a
- 3:18Speaker 1: huge UM, I guess constraint on a loss we didn't
- 3:22Speaker 1: on our launch. We didn't want to be inappropriate. We
- 3:24Speaker 1: also want to respect UM, the victims and the scenaire
- 3:27Speaker 1: at hand, and so now Generous Coffee Company is not
- 3:29Speaker 1: only giving profits to people in Honduras for jobs, but
- 3:32Speaker 1: we're also going to split the UH split the profits
- 3:34Speaker 1: up between for the victims and Las Vegas as well.
- 3:38Speaker 1: So it's a big week for me. UM. I've been
- 3:40Speaker 1: working on Jennas for a long time, but I also
- 3:43Speaker 1: want to share my my small town of worse On, Indiana,
- 3:46Speaker 1: where I grew up. We did a fundraiser this weekend
- 3:48Speaker 1: for Humanity Hope and raised thirty eight thousand dollars for
- 3:51Speaker 1: this organization. So I am I am writing high right now.
- 3:55Speaker 1: I'm pretty jacked and in Indiana came out once again
- 3:58Speaker 1: in support of something great. Ben, You're killing it. I
- 4:01Speaker 1: need to order my Generous coffee and put some pumpkin
- 4:04Speaker 1: creamer in it. And I think all you do need
- 4:06Speaker 1: to do that too, that you haven't ordered yet, that
- 4:09Speaker 1: hurts a little bit. No, I know, I'm ordering it
- 4:12Speaker 1: right now. Is this big? Well? Actually, you can go
- 4:14Speaker 1: to Generous Movement dot com and buy your coffee today.
- 4:17Speaker 1: Look at that. Look at that. You just made a
- 4:19Speaker 1: great transition. Speaking of transitions, we should probably talk about
- 4:24Speaker 1: Peter joining the Winter Games. He is the first one's
- 4:28Speaker 1: been a officially announced. Um of course, per usual, Mike
- 4:33Speaker 1: Flies has been tweeting up the wazoo this week, teasing
- 4:36Speaker 1: and teasing about more contestant releases but our announcements, but
- 4:42Speaker 1: he has yet to do so it's been like a
- 4:44Speaker 1: week or is like Peter's it Now I'm going to
- 4:46Speaker 1: tell you who's who else is in it? And now
- 4:48Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you who else is in it
- 4:50Speaker 1: and hasn't dropped any name. So do either of you
- 4:52Speaker 1: know any more that we can share with people listening? Like,
- 4:55Speaker 1: what is it? Oh? Ben? Do you know? No? Definitely,
- 4:59Speaker 1: I can, I can definitely. Here, I do have a
- 5:01Speaker 1: question before I share that the details of the show, Actually,
- 5:03Speaker 1: is there any chance that your name will be announced
- 5:05Speaker 1: for Winter Games. Oh, I have no idea. So there's
- 5:08Speaker 1: a chance. Oh, I don't know. There's a chance. Is
- 5:11Speaker 1: there a chance that your name would be dropped? Oh,
- 5:14Speaker 1: there's a chance. There's a chance. How can we do? Okay,
- 5:18Speaker 1: So this is what I know about Winter Games so far.
- 5:20Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a great show. I think
- 5:22Speaker 1: it's gonna be exciting and fun. I think it's gonna
- 5:23Speaker 1: be um a little more um, less intense than Paradise
- 5:29Speaker 1: and The Bachelor and The Bachelor at but also have
- 5:31Speaker 1: this really good, um a feel to us. What what
- 5:34Speaker 1: I'm saying is um bachelor franchise from all of the world. Right,
- 5:39Speaker 1: there's a Bachelor of Australia, there's a Bachelor Canada, there's
- 5:41Speaker 1: a Bachelor Age like, there's there's Bachelor's all over um
- 5:44Speaker 1: the globe. They're gonna all come into one location, um
- 5:49Speaker 1: and compete against each other in an Olympic type and
- 5:53Speaker 1: Olympic type events. Now, the details of the dating portion
- 5:56Speaker 1: or if people are going to be introduced to each
- 5:58Speaker 1: other from different parts of the world, I don't know
- 6:01Speaker 1: that side. But all I do know is that it
- 6:03Speaker 1: won't just be people that we recognize from the United
- 6:05Speaker 1: States Bachelor franchise. It will be people of the World,
- 6:08Speaker 1: which I think is so cool, and it's gonna be
- 6:10Speaker 1: a blast. We're gonna I mean, it's gonna be a
- 6:11Speaker 1: lot of fun to watch and and I actually I
- 6:13Speaker 1: hope you're on it because it would be excited. Well,
- 6:17Speaker 1: we'll see who would you guys like to kiss if
- 6:19Speaker 1: you were on it. Um, I'm I'm being the non
- 6:22Speaker 1: Ashley I and I'm going to say I'm open to everyone.
- 6:25Speaker 1: That's insane. Um, I I have you know, I've been
- 6:29Speaker 1: kind of googling a little bit and uh, I notice
- 6:33Speaker 1: and and this says just me me, but the Australian
- 6:35Speaker 1: Bachelor seems to have some people that are just incredibly attractive,
- 6:39Speaker 1: Like it is wild, So I'm kind of keep my
- 6:43Speaker 1: my my eyes open. I don't even know if I'm
- 6:45Speaker 1: gonna be in on this show, but I'll be excited
- 6:48Speaker 1: to kind of hear what happens. I would love. I mean,
- 6:51Speaker 1: how cool of a story would it be if, like
- 6:52Speaker 1: Peter meets somebody from The Australian Bachelor and they fall
- 6:55Speaker 1: in love and their story is a little bit bigger
- 6:58Speaker 1: than we could have ever expected. I think that's if
- 7:02Speaker 1: you did do it. Do you feel ready to kiss someone? Amy,
- 7:06Speaker 1: That's a great question. Um do I feel just kiss? Yeah?
- 7:11Speaker 1: I mean I I think so. I mean I would
- 7:13Speaker 1: assume so, I guess for me, Um, kissing carries weight,
- 7:18Speaker 1: but if you know, it's kind of like hand holding too,
- 7:21Speaker 1: I mean I don't. I don't know if it's a
- 7:22Speaker 1: little bit more intimate. Um, but I think I think
- 7:27Speaker 1: I'm ready. Yeah. I mean I feel pretty good, like
- 7:29Speaker 1: I'm in a pretty good spot. I'm cruising along. Life's good,
- 7:33Speaker 1: you know, I'm I'm busy. The Almost Famous podcast is
- 7:37Speaker 1: a great little thing for me. So, and I'm still working. So.
- 7:40Speaker 1: I mean, I'm feeling pretty confident in life right now.
- 7:42Speaker 1: And it might be the guyliner I were last week here. Um,
- 7:46Speaker 1: but I'm feeling pretty nice, all right. I think Ben's
- 7:49Speaker 1: been kissing girls. I don't think that. I don't think
- 7:53Speaker 1: you can take that from what I just said at all.
- 7:55Speaker 1: Nothing I just said goes back to I've been kissing girls.
- 7:58Speaker 1: That just says, you know, actually, if if the right
- 8:01Speaker 1: thing came up, am I ready to move back into
- 8:05Speaker 1: that world? Um? I think so you've got your swag back?
- 8:10Speaker 1: What do you think do you get think I got
- 8:11Speaker 1: my swag back? Yes? Oh it's been so obvious. You're
- 8:15Speaker 1: like doing the higgy all over the place. It's ridiculous. Well, um,
- 8:21Speaker 1: so we got Winter Games coming up. Um, that's going
- 8:24Speaker 1: to be incredibly exciting. And I'm glad Peter was announced first.
- 8:28Speaker 1: I mean he obviously we were hoping to see him
- 8:31Speaker 1: as the next Bachelor. Um. I want to talk about what,
- 8:35Speaker 1: like how Peter is going to be a great American
- 8:38Speaker 1: team leader. I just think he's like the face of
- 8:42Speaker 1: the American team these cats in America escot is, isn't he.
- 8:46Speaker 1: I Mean he has he kind of has everything going
- 8:48Speaker 1: for him to be the face. Um, and I mean
- 8:52Speaker 1: what a face it is. We we noticed it in
- 8:55Speaker 1: Vegas when we're with him a few weeks ago. Uh.
- 8:57Speaker 1: The guy is is just the I mean We're sitting
- 9:00Speaker 1: having lunch one day and I was talking to him
- 9:02Speaker 1: about his past career and he was talking about how
- 9:04Speaker 1: he traveled in the world for his past career and
- 9:06Speaker 1: how you know you meet all these great people. I
- 9:08Speaker 1: was like, man, what did you do? You must have
- 9:09Speaker 1: been you know, an executive somewhere or something. Goes now
- 9:11Speaker 1: as a model as I got. That makes sense, That's
- 9:14Speaker 1: that's completely truth. People like me don't get the opportunity
- 9:18Speaker 1: to travel the world because we look at people like
- 9:20Speaker 1: me travel the world because I pay for it, um
- 9:24Speaker 1: Or you're doing very good things around the world with
- 9:26Speaker 1: all your charity work, I hope. So no, we're you know,
- 9:29Speaker 1: I hope. So now that's been, that's been a blasphemy
- 9:31Speaker 1: um and it's going to keep going, and Bachelor Nation
- 9:34Speaker 1: has been you know, maybe I should do that right now.
- 9:36Speaker 1: Let me give a shout out and I thank you
- 9:37Speaker 1: to everybody out there listening to this podcast because you
- 9:40Speaker 1: have been very supportive of of the things that actually
- 9:42Speaker 1: I really care about, including this podcast. And uh, you know,
- 9:45Speaker 1: I knew a couple of weeks ago we had a
- 9:46Speaker 1: little rough go at it and actually I were a
- 9:48Speaker 1: little down and out and you did nothing, UM but
- 9:51Speaker 1: support and love on us and say, hey, we like
- 9:53Speaker 1: what you're doing, please keep doing it, which makes this
- 9:55Speaker 1: a lot more fun. And it makes me walk into
- 9:58Speaker 1: UM either studio or to an office every day or
- 10:02Speaker 1: every week and call Um Ashley excited to talk to
- 10:05Speaker 1: her about all this going on in Bastinations. So thank
- 10:07Speaker 1: you to the listeners, UM, share about our podcast, tweet
- 10:11Speaker 1: about our podcasts. We need more listeners so we can
- 10:13Speaker 1: keep doing this for a long long time. Yeah. Um,
- 10:16Speaker 1: I do want to talk about how interesting it's going
- 10:18Speaker 1: to be that Peter in his you know, Bachelor Winter
- 10:22Speaker 1: Games lead season will in a way be going up
- 10:26Speaker 1: against Ari in his season, because we don't know the
- 10:28Speaker 1: actual details whether or not The Bachelor The Bachelor will
- 10:32Speaker 1: be airing during the actual NBC Winter Games, Um, but
- 10:39Speaker 1: the numbers should be like thought of as comparable, Like
- 10:43Speaker 1: will the Winter Games lead my Peter get comparable ratings
- 10:48Speaker 1: to Ari's Bachelor season, and then they'll be able to
- 10:51Speaker 1: see if they made the right decision with the Bachelor.
- 10:53Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's a great idea. I think
- 10:55Speaker 1: that's a great point, um. And I wonder if that's
- 10:57Speaker 1: why Peter is the first time announced. But that brings
- 10:59Speaker 1: me to to the conversation that about Ari, because I
- 11:02Speaker 1: haven't heard much from from Aris filming so far. Usually
- 11:05Speaker 1: we can get some hints and we get some some spoilers, um,
- 11:08Speaker 1: but not too many people are talking about it, and
- 11:10Speaker 1: so I actually want to ask you, is that because
- 11:12Speaker 1: they're keeping it very secret this year or do people
- 11:15Speaker 1: just not care so far. I feel like people don't
- 11:18Speaker 1: feel like super connected to him currently, so they're not
- 11:22Speaker 1: stalking he ever tell you though, they I know for
- 11:26Speaker 1: a fact they are working extra hard to keep spoilers
- 11:30Speaker 1: to a minimum and keep everything as top secret as possible.
- 11:34Speaker 1: It's awesome, So they're working hard to make sure pictures
- 11:37Speaker 1: don't leak, information doesn't leak, that everything is kept under
- 11:41Speaker 1: wraps so that when we watch, we're all surprised instead
- 11:44Speaker 1: of knowing everything every season. I say this is gonna
- 11:47Speaker 1: be the season where I don't find out who the
- 11:49Speaker 1: actual winner is beforehand, and maybe because I'm not connected
- 11:52Speaker 1: to Aria at all, I will be able to be
- 11:54Speaker 1: surprised like a regular fan. Yeah, I mean that's it,
- 11:58Speaker 1: and I hope people watch. I haven't heard many. I
- 12:01Speaker 1: just don't know a lot about Ari, but I'm excited
- 12:03Speaker 1: to see, you know, how it goes. This is the
- 12:05Speaker 1: old format kind of you know, right, they bring in
- 12:07Speaker 1: a random person it was talented and ready to find love,
- 12:11Speaker 1: and we would watch them explore that and get to
- 12:13Speaker 1: know them as the season goes on. So I'm kind
- 12:16Speaker 1: of excited to see his complete story play out. Um
- 12:19Speaker 1: during the Bachelor, But I still am biased and and
- 12:23Speaker 1: I think everybody knows that I really like Peter and
- 12:25Speaker 1: I kind of wish I could be watching him, um
- 12:28Speaker 1: just because I think he really does want to find somebody.
- 12:30Speaker 1: And I think the Bachelorette was just not at the
- 12:33Speaker 1: right format for that, but I think the Bachelor could
- 12:35Speaker 1: have been. When Peter came out of the pool in Vegas,
- 12:38Speaker 1: it was like Aquaman, like I don't know how to explain,
- 12:43Speaker 1: it went so motioned my vision goblery like it was
- 12:47Speaker 1: literally like I remember thinking, is he Aquaman? I will
- 12:52Speaker 1: say that I'm like very much a face girl. I'm
- 12:55Speaker 1: not a huge body person. I'm not like, oh my god,
- 12:58Speaker 1: his body, but seriously, oh my god, his body. Yeah,
- 13:03Speaker 1: I'm not, Oh he has a great body. Hey, hey, hey, Ben,
- 13:07Speaker 1: I have a question for you that I asked a
- 13:09Speaker 1: lot of guy friends. When you first meet a girl,
- 13:12Speaker 1: do you know it's her face or her body? First?
- 13:15Speaker 1: Her face? Definitely her eyes. I think it's the eyes
- 13:19Speaker 1: that you know. I'm a big eyes person. I think
- 13:21Speaker 1: that like the eyes can really draw you in. And
- 13:24Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not gonna lie. I mean, obviously, somebody
- 13:26Speaker 1: that's in shape and Um, you know treats themself. Wells
- 13:30Speaker 1: is important to me, but it's not. It's not my
- 13:32Speaker 1: first thing. It's really the eyes and then um, people
- 13:34Speaker 1: can get more or less attractive just by even the
- 13:38Speaker 1: first couple of words that they say. So you know,
- 13:42Speaker 1: I guess Amy, and actually I want to ask you, then,
- 13:44Speaker 1: um to put you on the spot. When I walked
- 13:46Speaker 1: out of the pool, how do you feel she is
- 13:55Speaker 1: recovering from that fever beautifully? Oh right, with the moment
- 14:01Speaker 1: of silence made things awkward for me. I'm blushing on red. Um.
- 14:04Speaker 1: That swagger that I said I had is now in question.
- 14:07Speaker 1: Your body fell in line between Wells and Peter. All right,
- 14:12Speaker 1: that's enough, Ashley, you look great. I like your chest hair. Alright, Ashley,
- 14:20Speaker 1: you're not making this any better. Here here's the deal. Um,
- 14:22Speaker 1: somebody does have some swagger who is in great shape.
- 14:26Speaker 1: We've just watched their journey of of love on last
- 14:30Speaker 1: year's Bachelor. We want to give them a big congratulations.
- 14:34Speaker 1: That's Nick Vile. Um. Nick Vile was just announced that
- 14:37Speaker 1: he is acting on ABC's Speechless with Many Driver. That
- 14:41Speaker 1: is a huge, huge win for Nick. I know this
- 14:44Speaker 1: is something that he's desired to do. Uh. He was
- 14:46Speaker 1: obviously a big, a big friend of the podcast, and
- 14:49Speaker 1: so we all want to, at almost famous sake, congratulations Nick,
- 14:53Speaker 1: and we will be watching um to see how that goes.
- 14:55Speaker 1: Let's try calling him. Why don't you guys do a
- 14:57Speaker 1: commercial while we try calling? Okay? Great? I do know
- 15:00Speaker 1: that Nick filmed his episode last Monday, and it's cool
- 15:05Speaker 1: for him because Mini Driver was kind of geeking out
- 15:08Speaker 1: over him because he's a big Bachelor fan. Who would
- 15:11Speaker 1: have thought that's wild? I mean, how cool? I mean
- 15:14Speaker 1: I think for Nick Um, this is just maybe the
- 15:17Speaker 1: start he's he's been very patient Um kind of pursuing
- 15:22Speaker 1: this acting career, and we've all kind of made fun
- 15:24Speaker 1: of him and laughed at him along the way. I
- 15:26Speaker 1: know I have. I don't want to hide that, but
- 15:28Speaker 1: ultimately we want to see him succeed, and so if
- 15:30Speaker 1: this is the start of him succeeding, I will congratulate
- 15:33Speaker 1: him and celebrate that, and I hope we can get
- 15:35Speaker 1: him on the line. If we can't, then I hope
- 15:37Speaker 1: everybody out there listening will reach out to Nick via
- 15:40Speaker 1: social media however they can and say congratulations. But you
- 15:43Speaker 1: know what's going to get Nick really far in this career.
- 15:46Speaker 1: It's his beautiful teeth. That's wow. Actually that was that
- 15:50Speaker 1: was a winner. Keep going. Um. He may use Quip,
- 15:55Speaker 1: a new toothbrush that Ben and I have been using,
- 15:58Speaker 1: and the studies suggest that having good oral health like
- 16:03Speaker 1: from a toothbrush like Quip can improve your overall health.
- 16:07Speaker 1: And yet a lot of people today aren't brushing their
- 16:10Speaker 1: teeth properly, but with Quip you can start doing so today.
- 16:15Speaker 1: This is a new company that's refreshing the way that
- 16:18Speaker 1: people brush their teeth. You know why because it's electronic
- 16:22Speaker 1: toothbrush that packs premium vibrations and timer features into an
- 16:28Speaker 1: ultra slim design that is half the cost of the
- 16:31Speaker 1: bulkier brushes, you know, the brushes that you have to
- 16:34Speaker 1: plug in the bathroom and from the stand. Oh, I know.
- 16:39Speaker 1: It's basically like an Apple designed toothbrush, but it's without
- 16:43Speaker 1: that big price tag. You have to see it and
- 16:45Speaker 1: brush with it yourself to really understand. Have you been
- 16:48Speaker 1: using yours been? I've been using mine in the past
- 16:50Speaker 1: two days and my mouth actually feels a lot cleaner. Yeah,
- 16:54Speaker 1: I no longer have that just insane build up on
- 16:56Speaker 1: my tongue and teeth. You know, I just every day
- 16:58Speaker 1: I just have the in the yellow and the clip
- 17:02Speaker 1: is whites it all away. They come in beautiful colors
- 17:04Speaker 1: to rose, gold, silver. I love that it's a stylish
- 17:08Speaker 1: toothbrush because I brush my teeth like six times a day.
- 17:10Speaker 1: Do you get one to amy? I mean I bought one,
- 17:13Speaker 1: but yes, don't they give you to you guys for free?
- 17:16Speaker 1: But I bought it because I am obsessed with brushing
- 17:18Speaker 1: my teeth. I brush it literally at anything I brush it.
- 17:21Speaker 1: So this thing is amazing because it's also small it
- 17:25Speaker 1: is and it feels really light. I know that sounds
- 17:27Speaker 1: really stupid, but sometimes I hate with my old electric toothbrush,
- 17:31Speaker 1: just like holding it and like really moving it out
- 17:34Speaker 1: of my mouth. And this is getting really because they're
- 17:39Speaker 1: not expensive. I bought mine and what is it like? Yeah,
- 17:43Speaker 1: it's only twenty five dollars and you can subscribe to
- 17:45Speaker 1: receive new brush heads on a three month plan and
- 17:48Speaker 1: it's just five bucks to subscribe for that, and it

- 18:27Speaker 1: test out the products you're supporting. I don't want to.
- 18:29Speaker 1: I don't want to try to sell somebody something I
- 18:31Speaker 1: don't like, and I actually really like it. The big
- 18:33Speaker 1: thing is, you know how when you brush your teeth
- 18:35Speaker 1: with with a larger, bulkier brush, there's build up that
- 18:38Speaker 1: gets kind of on the outside of it and like
- 18:40Speaker 1: it's it's hard to keep clean. The quip I I
- 18:43Speaker 1: literally brush my teeth, rinsed the whole thing off and
- 18:45Speaker 1: the sink and it looks like it's brand new, which
- 18:48Speaker 1: makes me feel better about myself and more hygienic and

- 20:07Speaker 1: met you in person. Well, um, yeah, I was done.
- 20:14Speaker 1: I got introduced to the Bachelor world and Joe Joe's season. Um,
- 20:19Speaker 1: you know, I made it about halfway through there and
- 20:20Speaker 1: then you know, life took over and when on Paradise
- 20:24Speaker 1: um season three, I believe it was, and had a um,
- 20:28Speaker 1: a little mixed up in a relationship with Izzie and
- 20:30Speaker 1: I kind of went home early and then um, the
- 20:33Speaker 1: tide took me back out and brought me back in
- 20:35Speaker 1: on last season of Paradise. So I was with that
- 20:39Speaker 1: whole um, you know, that season with the controversy and
- 20:43Speaker 1: stuff like that. So and now I'm just, um, you know,
- 20:47Speaker 1: traveling the world DJ and doing what I loved. Um.
- 20:50Speaker 1: You know, at the time when I went in the
- 20:51Speaker 1: first I was I was also a barber. I was
- 20:52Speaker 1: cutting hair, and I kind of lost my passion for it.
- 20:55Speaker 1: So I just wanted to follow my dream and um,
- 20:58Speaker 1: you know, toward the world and nightclubs and travel level
- 21:00Speaker 1: and meet new people. So that's what I've been doing
- 21:02Speaker 1: since then. Hey, Vinny, meeting new people and traveling so
- 21:06Speaker 1: much and having Bachelor groupies. You have a crazy fan
- 21:10Speaker 1: experiences like I know you're no in sync, but anybody
- 21:13Speaker 1: ever try to like sneak into your room service try well.
- 21:18Speaker 1: I mean there's always like little situations where, you know,
- 21:22Speaker 1: you start returning to the same city, and then you know,
- 21:27Speaker 1: when you leave there, like woll I this one girl
- 21:29Speaker 1: kept staring at me and like really awkward the all night.
- 21:31Speaker 1: And then you go back there the next year and
- 21:33Speaker 1: the same girl is there saying like, all right, whoa,
- 21:35Speaker 1: this is not a you know that that wasn't just
- 21:37Speaker 1: a one time thing to start to become a coincidence.
- 21:39Speaker 1: So you know, I don't I don't do good with
- 21:41Speaker 1: the people that lurk in the corner, you know, if
- 21:43Speaker 1: like you want to come out to see me, um,
- 21:45Speaker 1: you know, just trying up a conversation, you know. And
- 21:47Speaker 1: I don't do well when people like take a picture
- 21:49Speaker 1: of me rather than with me. I always find that
- 21:52Speaker 1: a little awkward, like you're like a like an animal
- 21:54Speaker 1: in a cage. I always kind of like break the
- 21:56Speaker 1: ice and be like, let's let's take a picture together,
- 21:58Speaker 1: Like I don't want anything to picture of me. Just
- 22:00Speaker 1: kind of weird. What's the best way for a girl
- 22:02Speaker 1: at one of your shows to get your attention? Um,
- 22:07Speaker 1: one time, there's I was in l A actually last month,
- 22:11Speaker 1: and I guess she like wrote on like on her phone,
- 22:14Speaker 1: she wrote you are daddy, And I put her phone
- 22:16Speaker 1: number right up right up to my face right when
- 22:18Speaker 1: I was DC. I thought that was pretty clever. What
- 22:20Speaker 1: does that mean? You are? Time out? Guys. I need
- 22:24Speaker 1: my second here because this brings up a great point. Um.
- 22:28Speaker 1: It just came up with me this weekend. What in
- 22:30Speaker 1: the heck does somebody calling me daddy? Me explain this?
- 22:37Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, it's a pretty it's a
- 22:40Speaker 1: pretty vague thing. Maybe they need a father figure. Maybe
- 22:43Speaker 1: they just wanted to be dominated as daddy. I mean,
- 22:47Speaker 1: so some girl comes up to you and she's obviously
- 22:49Speaker 1: attracted to you, and she calls you you are daddy.
- 22:52Speaker 1: Here's my number. Like for me, I get a very
- 22:55Speaker 1: like protective mindset. Then it's like, if you refer to
- 22:58Speaker 1: me as your as your father a figure, I want
- 23:01Speaker 1: to care for you and look out for you. I
- 23:02Speaker 1: don't want you hitting on me. That just makes things
- 23:04Speaker 1: weird and man, it a low awkward. I guess I
- 23:07Speaker 1: could see it for me or and I don't I
- 23:09Speaker 1: think in that in that situation I don't know. I
- 23:12Speaker 1: think she just wanted to call me daddy. And I
- 23:14Speaker 1: don't know if it was in a nurturing way or
- 23:16Speaker 1: in some other kind of way. All right, well, we
- 23:19Speaker 1: need everybody out there listening to the almost famous podcast
- 23:21Speaker 1: right now to tweet at us, to Ashley and I
- 23:25Speaker 1: and that Vinnie and let us know when the heck
- 23:27Speaker 1: you mean when you call somebody daddy in the most
- 23:29Speaker 1: appropriate way possible. Hey, Vinny, which bachelor girl who you
- 23:34Speaker 1: haven't dated on the show yet? Would you want to
- 23:39Speaker 1: call you daddy? Which girl? That's a great question. Call
- 23:46Speaker 1: my daddy? Um, that is a great question. I gotta
- 23:49Speaker 1: think about this. I don't know if we've got enough
- 23:50Speaker 1: time for this. Wait, we're good at awkward time. Free
- 23:57Speaker 1: call me daddy. Um, all in the anticipation continues to grow.
- 24:04Speaker 1: Come on, you're just trying to be careful, now, that's
- 24:08Speaker 1: the problem. Um, I don't know. I'm trying to. I'm
- 24:13Speaker 1: just gonna give you a little word of advice. You
- 24:15Speaker 1: can fail and really mess up on this show, and
- 24:17Speaker 1: people are gonna care for just a little bit of time,
- 24:19Speaker 1: So you're okay to say it. Apologize later. I think
- 24:24Speaker 1: I think somebody that I missed on Paradise that I
- 24:26Speaker 1: thought it was pretty cute, was Daniel l Okay? Okay?
- 24:30Speaker 1: So I mean, are we shipping this one? Ashley Nony,
- 24:36Speaker 1: my cousin wanted to date you so bad, but she's not.
- 24:42Speaker 1: I really wouldn't say that. She's mentally in this space
- 24:45Speaker 1: to start a relationship with one of my friends. So
- 24:50Speaker 1: I didn't give you don't want her, You don't want
- 24:52Speaker 1: you don't want her? Call me daddy? Is that what
- 24:54Speaker 1: you're saying? She's gorgeous former model. Just don't think I
- 25:00Speaker 1: want to, you know, put you in that position right now? Okay,
- 25:04Speaker 1: maybe one day, but one day next time? Wiping him
- 25:07Speaker 1: up Ashley way to get him excited about I'd happily
- 25:11Speaker 1: send you a picture of her and you can decide
- 25:13Speaker 1: whether or not you want a lot of text message. Hey,
- 25:17Speaker 1: I got this gorgeous friend who has such a sweet
- 25:20Speaker 1: and big heart, and she has such a good right
- 25:22Speaker 1: and the and the best morals, and all she wants
- 25:24Speaker 1: is to care for somebody and to have somebody care
- 25:26Speaker 1: for her back. But m and she really care likes you,
- 25:29Speaker 1: and she finds you very attecked it, But I'm not
- 25:30Speaker 1: gonna do it. Um, it's right now and with Anny
- 25:41Speaker 1: I got, I got a couple of questions for you. Um, okay,
- 25:45Speaker 1: So one is I asked this questions a few weeks
- 25:47Speaker 1: ago to Daniel when he came on the podcast. Um,
- 25:50Speaker 1: I've seen these videos that you put out there, and
- 25:54Speaker 1: then asked him, just out of my own curiosity, is
- 25:56Speaker 1: do you have somebody literally folle you around with a
- 25:58Speaker 1: video camera at all times of your life? Well? I
- 26:02Speaker 1: mean I wouldn't say all times of my life. Usually
- 26:05Speaker 1: want to have a big month planned out where I
- 26:07Speaker 1: have shows like, you know, three times a weekend. You know,
- 26:10Speaker 1: I have one of my buddies down here in South Florida.
- 26:12Speaker 1: He's been kind of seeming me since about two thousand
- 26:14Speaker 1: and fourteen with all like my actually probably early two
- 26:17Speaker 1: thousand and twelve, but um, feeling a lot of my
- 26:19Speaker 1: bigger gigs. Um. At first, it kind of was just
- 26:22Speaker 1: I wanted to make a little short, um little promo
- 26:26Speaker 1: videos just to show people that, um, you know what,
- 26:29Speaker 1: I could do it and my cloud. I can show
- 26:30Speaker 1: my my personality that I'm not just a DJ, that
- 26:33Speaker 1: I'm not just pressing buttons. So I like these videos
- 26:35Speaker 1: to kind of show more of who I am as
- 26:37Speaker 1: an old, real person and then you know, once I
- 26:39Speaker 1: had filming me for about uh years now they listen,
- 26:44Speaker 1: I want to turn all this footage into like a
- 26:47Speaker 1: mini documentary of how you know, I was, you know,
- 26:51Speaker 1: djaying some of the smaller venues and then I went
- 26:53Speaker 1: on a reality show and how my life has changed
- 26:56Speaker 1: from that, you know, trials and tribulations, and so I
- 26:58Speaker 1: just want to kind of get all the footage that
- 27:00Speaker 1: I can and then hopefully within another year kind of
- 27:04Speaker 1: put out like a little short, you know, documentary of
- 27:07Speaker 1: maybe even adding my upbringing in there, and then um
- 27:10Speaker 1: to now you know, current times. So it kind of
- 27:13Speaker 1: so to answer your question, yeah, I mean maybe sixty
- 27:15Speaker 1: percent of the time when I am traveling. Yet my
- 27:17Speaker 1: buddy Jared is with me. He's a good kind of mine,
- 27:19Speaker 1: so that makes it easier to just act naturale and camera.
- 27:22Speaker 1: So yeah, has it been good? I mean, has it
- 27:24Speaker 1: been good for your career to kind of highlight that. Yeah,
- 27:27Speaker 1: it has. Like I said, I owe people, you know,
- 27:29Speaker 1: sometimes it's hard when you go on a reality show.
- 27:31Speaker 1: They think that you're just you know, pulling like a
- 27:33Speaker 1: Paris hilt in. And now you're just trying to be
- 27:35Speaker 1: a DJ, but you know I've been I've been working
- 27:38Speaker 1: in nightclubs in dejaying and you know, putting together events
- 27:41Speaker 1: since probably two thousand seven. So um yeah, And that's
- 27:47Speaker 1: why I want to do this, just to show people
- 27:49Speaker 1: that I am just you know, on a pretty pretty
- 27:51Speaker 1: cool person to hire to have your nightclub. That I'm
- 27:54Speaker 1: not just you know, showing up her appearance, but I
- 27:55Speaker 1: can also you know, get the party going. So it
- 27:58Speaker 1: has helped those little promote videos. Speaking of that, what music,
- 28:03Speaker 1: what artists really get the party going? I would have
- 28:07Speaker 1: to say, and you even for myself, I think Drake
- 28:09Speaker 1: is always the go to move Like if you want
- 28:12Speaker 1: like a hip hop song, yeah, that would get people
- 28:18Speaker 1: go on. And then now I think that song that
- 28:21Speaker 1: all the Girls is that the Cardi B song? Was it?
- 28:23Speaker 1: Kodak um Kodak Yellow cordad Black? I forgot the name
- 28:26Speaker 1: of it. If you if you were to think about
- 28:29Speaker 1: Ashley and I in your club, it's just the two
- 28:31Speaker 1: of us were in the middle of the dance floor
- 28:32Speaker 1: and you're the DJ, and and you need to get
- 28:35Speaker 1: us going. When you think of Ashley and I, what
- 28:36Speaker 1: song do you play thank you. I think I actually
- 28:39Speaker 1: loves that you tailor soft song because I've seen a
- 28:41Speaker 1: singer in our snapchat like every day, thank you, thank
- 28:43Speaker 1: you performing quite well. Right then, thing on the boat,
- 28:50Speaker 1: she can sing it and she she has no same
- 28:53Speaker 1: you know what, actually likes to do. And it just
- 28:54Speaker 1: makes me feel so awkward inside. Um. She she liked
- 28:58Speaker 1: to singing in her camera, like you put their camera
- 29:00Speaker 1: to her face and she sings, and she like kind
- 29:02Speaker 1: of does this like posing thing as she sings. Um,
- 29:05Speaker 1: but she knows all the words and so it kind
- 29:06Speaker 1: of looks like a music video when you watch it back. Um,
- 29:10Speaker 1: it's something I could never pull off. I can't imagine
- 29:13Speaker 1: even doing that and how I would look doing it,
- 29:14Speaker 1: and actually can make it at work, But when you
- 29:16Speaker 1: watch it happen, Oh, it's it's hard. Only to Taylor.
- 29:20Speaker 1: You have to do the lips and the pause and
- 29:22Speaker 1: like looking to the side and like kind of squinting
- 29:24Speaker 1: her eyes a little bit. And I'm doing it right
- 29:27Speaker 1: now that you guys could see it so weird. Look
- 29:30Speaker 1: what you made me do? Look what you made me
- 29:32Speaker 1: do it? Oh my god, every second of this. Well, wait,
- 29:37Speaker 1: what about Ben? You got to answer the last question
- 29:39Speaker 1: about what would you play for Ben Ben? Oh Man, Ben,
- 29:44Speaker 1: I'm going on a limb here. I would have to
- 29:45Speaker 1: kind of go with like one of the classic songs
- 29:47Speaker 1: that everybody knows you're like, a classic rock song like
- 29:50Speaker 1: shot Do. I love that song. That's such a good song.
- 29:56Speaker 1: He really gets me going to it really gets me going. Man.
- 30:02Speaker 1: That's weird that you said that. Hey, going back to
- 30:05Speaker 1: Bachelor in Paradise? Have you fallen in love on Paradise?
- 30:08Speaker 1: Have I fall in love? Um? I wouldn't say that
- 30:11Speaker 1: I was love, but I can definitely see that I
- 30:14Speaker 1: was heading in the right direction last time I was there. Yeah,
- 30:17Speaker 1: you mean last summer with Izzy. Yeah. Yeah, such an
- 30:23Speaker 1: unfortunate situation, but I think you probably grew from it.
- 30:27Speaker 1: You learned a lot about yourself in relationships. Yeah. I
- 30:30Speaker 1: think I was just leaving as you were coming in.
- 30:33Speaker 1: Uh No, I was there for a little while with you,
- 30:36Speaker 1: and I told you that if Wells wasn't going to
- 30:37Speaker 1: come in, that I was going to give you my rose.
- 30:39Speaker 1: Oh boy, Yeah, we're talking about that. Let's talk about
- 30:45Speaker 1: Ashley that I told him. I was like, I know
- 30:48Speaker 1: that it's not going very well for you and it's
- 30:50Speaker 1: not going very well for me. So if the guy
- 30:53Speaker 1: that I think is really cute doesn't walk in, then
- 30:56Speaker 1: then your roses your rose, My roses yours second hand
- 31:00Speaker 1: really realizing and um and she's great. She uh, I
- 31:05Speaker 1: hear great things about it. I haven't got to know
- 31:07Speaker 1: is he very well? But he was on the season
- 31:08Speaker 1: the Bachelor that I was a part of. Um yeah, yeah,
- 31:12Speaker 1: I didn't get to know her well, but I think
- 31:14Speaker 1: from everything I hear and from emby that knows her, um,
- 31:17Speaker 1: it just sounds like she's an awesome person, which again
- 31:20Speaker 1: reiterates my thought that those women that were on my
- 31:23Speaker 1: season Ambassador were a crazy good group of women. I
- 31:26Speaker 1: agree with that. If Anny, we are out of time,
- 31:29Speaker 1: but we really appreciate you coming and explaining your job
- 31:33Speaker 1: and who the heck you are beyond this franchise. That
- 31:37Speaker 1: is who I am. If you're ever de jailing in Denver,

- 31:53Speaker 1: you know when what you do when you're about to
- 31:56Speaker 1: hit the club, you go shopping, do you? I? I
- 32:00Speaker 1: don't think I go shopping. Um, maybe because I'm just
- 32:04Speaker 1: too lazy, um, But actually I know that you really
- 32:08Speaker 1: really enjoy the stores. You know, sometimes I know where
- 32:12Speaker 1: to go and one of the places that I know
- 32:14Speaker 1: to go is Liotote because they helped me be more fashionable.
- 32:19Speaker 1: But they help me because they have these stylists. The

- 34:12Speaker 1: Moving into one of our favorite segments, one that we
- 34:15Speaker 1: skim over a lot, and and we don't want to
- 34:17Speaker 1: do that anymore. We really do care about the emails
- 34:20Speaker 1: that you're writing into us. We've been um reading through
- 34:22Speaker 1: emails and emails and emails over the last couple of weeks,
- 34:25Speaker 1: and we've pulled out just a couple today to to
- 34:27Speaker 1: kind of to talk about. And so Ashley, with that,
- 34:29Speaker 1: I want to lead you into point out some of
- 34:31Speaker 1: these emails that we think really stand out. Okay, the
- 34:34Speaker 1: first one is from Sophia hi Bett and Ashley. I
- 34:37Speaker 1: like to think I have a decent head on my
- 34:39Speaker 1: shoulders and I'm not want to over exaggerate or get
- 34:42Speaker 1: to ahead of myself. So I don't understand why some
- 34:44Speaker 1: guys feel the need to hide their feelings or just ghost.
- 34:47Speaker 1: To give an example, I recently came back into contact
- 34:50Speaker 1: with a co worker we actually matched on bumble. We
- 34:53Speaker 1: met up for drinks and dinner one night and we
- 34:56Speaker 1: had a great time, and that was that. We left
- 34:58Speaker 1: with the exchange of a side I'd hug and him saying, uh, yeah,
- 35:02Speaker 1: let's do it again sometime side hug sometime Did I
- 35:08Speaker 1: do something wrong here? Since that happy hour slashed dinner,
- 35:11Speaker 1: I haven't heard from him. I know, Ben, you are
- 35:14Speaker 1: recently single and probably not approaching the dating scenes so much.
- 35:17Speaker 1: But I would really enjoy hearing an episode on how
- 35:20Speaker 1: you deal with this dating culture we're living in. Actually,
- 35:23Speaker 1: I'm curious as to how you go about meeting people.
- 35:26Speaker 1: Do you deal with the ghosting and lack of communication
- 35:28Speaker 1: as well? Sophia, I have good email in this email? Yeah, okay, Well,
- 35:33Speaker 1: let's spend some time here. Um, and let's not let's
- 35:36Speaker 1: not hesitate. So let's start with the first couple of
- 35:38Speaker 1: sentence there. Um, why do you guys feel like they
- 35:40Speaker 1: have the ghost Let's let's not just make this about guys.
- 35:42Speaker 1: Let's make it about guys and girls, because I think
- 35:44Speaker 1: it goes both ways. Probably, Uh, we need to talk
- 35:47Speaker 1: about it in in a universal sense. So here's the deal.
- 35:49Speaker 1: I don't understand this, but I do it myself. I've
- 35:52Speaker 1: done in the past. I mean, I guess I don't
- 35:54Speaker 1: know today, um what I do in situations like this,
- 35:58Speaker 1: because I haven't really started to step back out there yet. Um.
- 36:02Speaker 1: I would like to believe that I'm mature enough now
- 36:04Speaker 1: and confident enough to say when something's not going well,
- 36:06Speaker 1: to stand up and say it. But but again, I
- 36:08Speaker 1: can't promise that because because in the past, through college
- 36:11Speaker 1: and even after college, I did ghost I would go
- 36:13Speaker 1: on a date and I would instead of wanting to
- 36:16Speaker 1: hurt the person's feelings by saying, hey, I'm just not
- 36:18Speaker 1: into you, I would just disappear. So maybe they thought
- 36:21Speaker 1: I disappeared. UM. I honestly, I want to believe it
- 36:25Speaker 1: comes from a place of just not having the courage
- 36:28Speaker 1: to be confrontational and also not wanting to hurt somebody
- 36:31Speaker 1: because you know they don't deserve to be hurt. It
- 36:33Speaker 1: usually doesn't come from a bad place. It does come
- 36:36Speaker 1: from a place of not wanting to hurt the other person.
- 36:38Speaker 1: A lot of people will argue it hurts more to
- 36:40Speaker 1: be ghosted. UM. I have a ghosting segment on my
- 36:42Speaker 1: I Don't Get a podcast where we confront ghosters with
- 36:46Speaker 1: their ghost ease. But by doing that segment, I've learned
- 36:50Speaker 1: what I feel is the definition of ghosting, and I
- 36:53Speaker 1: don't feel like going on one day and then never
- 36:55Speaker 1: hearing from the person again is the definition of ghosting.
- 36:58Speaker 1: I think ghosting happens when you're having a rapport with
- 37:00Speaker 1: someone and it's spanned over at least weeks. I don't
- 37:05Speaker 1: think going on one day and then never hearing from
- 37:07Speaker 1: that person again, it's goes that that's just a date
- 37:09Speaker 1: that you're just not supposed to be with that person. Yeah,
- 37:12Speaker 1: and then today's culture too, I mean, and we'll move
- 37:15Speaker 1: down to the bottom of this paragraph or this email,
- 37:17Speaker 1: UM with this, But in today's culture, it's really hard
- 37:20Speaker 1: to ghost. I would assume, uh, you know, back what
- 37:23Speaker 1: was it four years ago when I was in the
- 37:24Speaker 1: dating scene. I mean, I haven't really gone back out
- 37:26Speaker 1: in the dating scene in four years. Um, social media
- 37:29Speaker 1: wasn't as big a thing, and so you could kind
- 37:32Speaker 1: of disappear, you could, you know, you could turn off
- 37:34Speaker 1: your Instagram or whatever. Now, Um, you're gonna be able
- 37:37Speaker 1: to find that person. I'm gonna find you. That's true,
- 37:41Speaker 1: Like they can really find you. Um, Ben, how do
- 37:46Speaker 1: you feel? Okay? So I don't think I'm ghosting this person.
- 37:51Speaker 1: I don't think i'd be ghosting this person. But how
- 37:53Speaker 1: do I don't know? You let me know. So I
- 37:55Speaker 1: went on this day with a guy like in July.
- 37:58Speaker 1: Haven't gone a date since July. This guy I felt
- 38:03Speaker 1: nothing with, like justin nothing. It seemed forced, like just
- 38:07Speaker 1: the hour seemed forced to me. And of course I
- 38:12Speaker 1: show disinterest or just not disinterest but just neutrality or whatever,
- 38:16Speaker 1: and he will just keep texting me every couple of
- 38:19Speaker 1: weeks being like, hey, what are you doing? Um? Do
- 38:22Speaker 1: you want to do this? Do you want to do that?
- 38:24Speaker 1: And I keep saying like, oh, sorry, I can't do it.
- 38:27Speaker 1: I'm busy. And the thing is like I usually am busy.
- 38:31Speaker 1: Why are they getting the hint? Is that ghosting to
- 38:34Speaker 1: just keep saying hey, I'm not doing it. I'm not
- 38:36Speaker 1: doing it by me, not like saying hey, sorry, didn't
- 38:40Speaker 1: feel anything. Uh No, I don't think it's ghosting it.
- 38:43Speaker 1: I mean I think at some point you might want
- 38:46Speaker 1: to confront it, right, I mean he obviously I still
- 38:49Speaker 1: believe there's something. He's still confused. Um, But it also
- 38:52Speaker 1: sounds like he's not very self aware and he's not
- 38:54Speaker 1: very aware of the situation. Um. I don't find that
- 38:57Speaker 1: to be inappropriate. The one thing I think that gets
- 39:00Speaker 1: confusing with all of this is when it starts to
- 39:03Speaker 1: hurt somebody else. Right, So you go on one date,
- 39:05Speaker 1: a date to a date, it's to discover, it's to explore,
- 39:07Speaker 1: it's gonna figure out if you want to go on
- 39:09Speaker 1: that next day. Now, if the other person isn't showing
- 39:11Speaker 1: a common interest in going that next day, I personally
- 39:14Speaker 1: believe to let it go at that point because it's
- 39:17Speaker 1: only going to cause trouble if you keep pushing and
- 39:19Speaker 1: you keep prodding, you keep texting, and you keep trying
- 39:21Speaker 1: to find your way into their life. It sounds like
- 39:23Speaker 1: what this guy is doing to you. Um, I mean really,
- 39:26Speaker 1: it's really mild. I'm just saying that I feel bad
- 39:29Speaker 1: because I feel like he should be getting the hint
- 39:31Speaker 1: by now. Well, I mean, at some point if you
- 39:34Speaker 1: feel like it's if if you feel um, kind of convicted,
- 39:38Speaker 1: I don't think it's wrong for you, uh to approach
- 39:41Speaker 1: him and just say, hey, you know this isn't working.
- 39:44Speaker 1: I think you're great, but if we were to hang out,
- 39:46Speaker 1: it would send you the wrong message. And I don't
- 39:48Speaker 1: want to send you the wrong message because that would
- 39:50Speaker 1: just get stickier in the end. And so it's that,
- 39:52Speaker 1: I mean, the question is really and I know you
- 39:55Speaker 1: walk a very thin line here, um, but you do
- 39:58Speaker 1: it really well. Is you have a lot of friends
- 39:59Speaker 1: that are our men and then our male and so
- 40:02Speaker 1: you know, if you don't see this becoming a friendship,
- 40:05Speaker 1: then there really is no purpose, or you don't have
- 40:08Speaker 1: to hang out with this guy. It would just send
- 40:10Speaker 1: the wrong message to him. How do you feel about
- 40:12Speaker 1: people that you go on dates with them becoming a friend?
- 40:15Speaker 1: I just don't need that. It does that sound bad?
- 40:18Speaker 1: Like I just I have a lot of friends. If
- 40:21Speaker 1: I went on a date with you and you wanted
- 40:22Speaker 1: it to be romantic, like I'm I don't think that's
- 40:25Speaker 1: a smart thing for me to hang out with you again.
- 40:27Speaker 1: Just to be I'm real torn on this topic. You
- 40:29Speaker 1: are hitting a hot but me, that's my problem need
- 40:33Speaker 1: to be so much more hard to get. And so
- 40:34Speaker 1: do you, Ashley. I know, I know, I feel like
- 40:37Speaker 1: I'm growing up. I think I'm going up a little bit. Ben,
- 40:42Speaker 1: What do you think? I mean, how do you deal
- 40:44Speaker 1: with that friendship with somebody that you kind of would
- 40:47Speaker 1: want to date? Uh? Yeah, there, I mean I think
- 40:50Speaker 1: it's it's all scenario based. And so for example, I
- 40:53Speaker 1: had a family um that I grew up with that
- 40:56Speaker 1: had two daughters that were similar to my age and
- 40:59Speaker 1: a son, and we were all very close. They're like
- 41:01Speaker 1: my brothers and sisters and I love them. But I
- 41:04Speaker 1: absolutely love them and they're beautiful people. They're not only
- 41:06Speaker 1: physically beautiful, but they're just just beautiful human beings. And
- 41:11Speaker 1: we were friends and we always were friends, and there
- 41:13Speaker 1: never was you know, I kind of look back at
- 41:15Speaker 1: this point in my life and I look back on
- 41:16Speaker 1: that and think it was pretty impressive that we all
- 41:18Speaker 1: were friends for our whole lives, that there was never
- 41:21Speaker 1: any romantic feelings. Right. So, um, I think, for example,
- 41:26Speaker 1: those two girls felt like sisters to me, but they
- 41:27Speaker 1: also feel like friends to me, and and so that
- 41:29Speaker 1: is a very important friendship to me. It's it's a
- 41:32Speaker 1: very important friendship to me, and I will always have
- 41:34Speaker 1: them as friends. Um. But then I look at scenarios
- 41:37Speaker 1: where like we've talked about before, like ex girlfriends and
- 41:40Speaker 1: cannot be friends with your ex is, And I think
- 41:42Speaker 1: you can be, but I think it does add this
- 41:44Speaker 1: little bit of Um, there's just always gonna be that
- 41:48Speaker 1: little bit of tension. There's always gonna be that little
- 41:50Speaker 1: bit or can we really just be friends? And what
- 41:53Speaker 1: happens on the perfect night when we're out together, will
- 41:55Speaker 1: something happen that will spark something up again? And as
- 41:58Speaker 1: long as you're single, I think that appropriate world to
- 42:01Speaker 1: play in is are we friends? Are we not? Do
- 42:04Speaker 1: we have feelings? Do we not? But my buddies and
- 42:06Speaker 1: I talked about this all the time. As soon as
- 42:08Speaker 1: you enter into relationship that has to be cut off
- 42:11Speaker 1: because it's no longer healthy or appropriate or beneficial or
- 42:15Speaker 1: mature of you to keep friendships like that because it
- 42:18Speaker 1: just adds a temptation and you have to set boundaries
- 42:21Speaker 1: because long term that's only going to affect and mess
- 42:24Speaker 1: with your mind. So I think it's an air based situation. Um,
- 42:29Speaker 1: And this is a great So I want to move
- 42:30Speaker 1: on here to the final piece of this email and
- 42:34Speaker 1: then we'll jump to your email. But this is such
- 42:35Speaker 1: a good email. We've gotten so far, We've got so
- 42:38Speaker 1: far on the weeds. And the question to me was
- 42:41Speaker 1: how how am I approaching the dating sooner? Or how
- 42:43Speaker 1: would I navigate um in this dating in this culture.
- 42:48Speaker 1: And then they asked you, actually, um, you know, how
- 42:51Speaker 1: do you go about meeting people? And so let's answer
- 42:53Speaker 1: this as quickly as possible for me, I don't exactly
- 42:56Speaker 1: know yet, but how I would imagine it going is this.
- 42:59Speaker 1: So there's these expectation. This is where I struggle. All Right,
- 43:02Speaker 1: I'm gonna get into my I'm really. I feel like
- 43:04Speaker 1: it opened up in my insecurities on this podcast way
- 43:06Speaker 1: too often. And then I get emails from people feeling
- 43:08Speaker 1: really bad and sad for me, and you shouldn't. I'm
- 43:10Speaker 1: actually I'm doing pretty well. Um, but this is an
- 43:13Speaker 1: insecurity of mine, um is. And I don't want you
- 43:16Speaker 1: to go Actually, I definitely don't want you to respond
- 43:18Speaker 1: when I say it's like, oh no, that's not true. Okay,
- 43:21Speaker 1: don't dimiss my insecurity. Um. I think in this world
- 43:25Speaker 1: I never feel cool enough to date somebody because of
- 43:29Speaker 1: the social media pressures out there, right, so everybody portrays
- 43:32Speaker 1: these lives on social media. They're hiking, their camping, um,
- 43:35Speaker 1: they're traveling the world, They're eating the best foods. They're
- 43:38Speaker 1: always out with their friends, you know, doing boomerangs, of
- 43:40Speaker 1: tipping mimosas up and down, and you know, guys are
- 43:43Speaker 1: taking shirtless pictures with the perfect perfect light lighting after
- 43:46Speaker 1: they've oiled their bodies down so they look real nice
- 43:48Speaker 1: and real ripped. And and I never and I see
- 43:52Speaker 1: this stuff, and I know that it's all the perfect
- 43:55Speaker 1: image getting displayed and it's not the true image getting displayed,
- 43:57Speaker 1: but it's still and I can't imagine for somebody that
- 44:00Speaker 1: younger than me, who hasn't been through it, that hasn't
- 44:02Speaker 1: fallen in love, that hasn't built a strong foundation in
- 44:06Speaker 1: their life on their faith. Um, I don't. I can't
- 44:08Speaker 1: imagine how much this is canna affect them. Because for me,
- 44:12Speaker 1: even as I'm starting to enter back in the dating world,
- 44:14Speaker 1: I never feel like any woman is going to sit
- 44:16Speaker 1: down to dinner with me and go, Wow, I'm lucky
- 44:19Speaker 1: to be sitting at dinner with you, because you're pretty
- 44:21Speaker 1: great and I would love to explore life with you.
- 44:24Speaker 1: That is a big insecurity, and I know it rings deep,
- 44:26Speaker 1: but I do think a lot of it is because
- 44:29Speaker 1: of the pressures that we see to be perfect and
- 44:31Speaker 1: to live the coolest, best life now on social media.
- 44:35Speaker 1: And I don't know how to get past that. Um,
- 44:38Speaker 1: I'm won't be little your insecurity. I won't even respond
- 44:41Speaker 1: to it if you don't want me to. But you
- 44:44Speaker 1: know it's ridiculous, right well, you know that you live
- 44:48Speaker 1: like such an exciting life or I know you're the
- 44:50Speaker 1: last person to be able to say that. That's And
- 44:53Speaker 1: that's another thing, is that's why I feel I feel
- 44:56Speaker 1: terrible for the like I do live a great life.
- 44:58Speaker 1: I live a very exciting life. My life is it's
- 45:00Speaker 1: constantly moving and grooving with great things happening to it.
- 45:03Speaker 1: I'm meeting amazing people, and I'm and I'm able to
- 45:05Speaker 1: do great things. But I can't imagine if this was
- 45:09Speaker 1: me four years ago, when I was not doing these things,
- 45:12Speaker 1: how down and out I might feel. And I think
- 45:14Speaker 1: that's a sad part about social media or just the
- 45:16Speaker 1: pressures of the dating culture. I guess that's where it
- 45:18Speaker 1: comes from, is the question was how do I deal
- 45:20Speaker 1: with dating in this culture to day? I think that's
- 45:22Speaker 1: where that's the negative part of dating in this culture today.
- 45:25Speaker 1: I think the positive part is that you're able to
- 45:27Speaker 1: now get to know people better via social media because
- 45:30Speaker 1: you can get like explore their Instagram page or Twitter
- 45:33Speaker 1: page or facebooks before you go on these dates and
- 45:35Speaker 1: get to know what they're interested in. So you're going
- 45:37Speaker 1: into the dates a little bit prepared. But I wrote
- 45:39Speaker 1: a blog piece on Ahogany workplace. I was like, don't
- 45:42Speaker 1: set expectations too high, you know, don't try to get
- 45:44Speaker 1: to know them too much. So anyways to answer in
- 45:46Speaker 1: short is it's it's a hard time to day, but
- 45:48Speaker 1: it also, I think can be an exciting time to
- 45:50Speaker 1: day And I would like to believe that when you
- 45:51Speaker 1: finally meet that person, they're going to know you so
- 45:54Speaker 1: well and be able to kind of explore life life
- 45:57Speaker 1: with you so well, and you're gonna be able a
- 45:58Speaker 1: document life so well that day him is going to
- 46:00Speaker 1: be a blast. I want to believe that. I believe
- 46:02Speaker 1: that's coming up for me. Um, We'll just see what
- 46:04Speaker 1: it happens. Well, I want to do like a p
- 46:06Speaker 1: s A for all the younger kids out there, Like, yeah,
- 46:08Speaker 1: I'm not like super affected by social media, um, because
- 46:13Speaker 1: but I'm like concerned about high schoolers out there who
- 46:16Speaker 1: are so influenced by these curated personalities like this facade
- 46:20Speaker 1: that people put out there, and just like that's not
- 46:24Speaker 1: real life, guys, and you shouldn't have to feel like
- 46:26Speaker 1: you have to compete with like all these filters and
- 46:30Speaker 1: all these like crazy things that people put out there.
- 46:33Speaker 1: I just can't even imagine how hard it must be
- 46:37Speaker 1: feel to be accepted in this weird image focused world
- 46:41Speaker 1: that we live in as somebody who's like not fully
- 46:44Speaker 1: developed yet. I agree. I mean I thought about it
- 46:46Speaker 1: last night actually, and then I want to hear how
- 46:48Speaker 1: you're meeting people today. You know, I was cleaning up
- 46:50Speaker 1: my sink. I just shaved and I had a bunch
- 46:52Speaker 1: of hair that had like you know how you get
- 46:54Speaker 1: it in the bottom of your sink and you can't
- 46:55Speaker 1: get it out and I and it was like stuck
- 46:57Speaker 1: to the side. So I was like scrubbing it and
- 46:59Speaker 1: trying to find way to get out. Was like, this
- 47:00Speaker 1: is the picture that we need, because that's about ninety
- 47:03Speaker 1: percent of my life is in some way scrubbing hair
- 47:06Speaker 1: out of something. Um, it's not. It's not going on
- 47:10Speaker 1: these beautiful festivals. Caitlin does this thing. It's called real beauty.
- 47:13Speaker 1: Um backup posted something like that. I posted something like that.
- 47:17Speaker 1: It was just like straight up, no makeup, no filters.
- 47:21Speaker 1: I try to do that every now and again just
- 47:23Speaker 1: to make people be like no, no, seriously, Like the
- 47:26Speaker 1: way that we look when we're at events is not
- 47:28Speaker 1: the way we look when we wake up. I did
- 47:30Speaker 1: that this week. Like, you know, I just think it's
- 47:33Speaker 1: good to keep it keep it real, keep it real. Actually,
- 47:36Speaker 1: how do you mean people today? Um? Yeah, sorry, we're
- 47:39Speaker 1: like so off topic. No, it's good, it's good. I
- 47:41Speaker 1: think I think it's relatable, and I do think it's
- 47:44Speaker 1: coming from a place that you and I both talk
- 47:45Speaker 1: about off air um and it should be communicating to
- 47:49Speaker 1: listeners out there because our lives can look fun and
- 47:52Speaker 1: they can look excited, and they are. I have a
- 47:53Speaker 1: great life. They're the best. Like I'm I'm obsessed with
- 47:56Speaker 1: my life right now. I'm so happy. Like I'm actually
- 47:58Speaker 1: at this place where like I drive around some times
- 48:00Speaker 1: and I'm like, I'm so happy. This is what happiness is.
- 48:03Speaker 1: When those down Astley's haver was blown in the wind. Actually,
- 48:05Speaker 1: how you meeting dudes today? Well, I haven't gone a
- 48:08Speaker 1: date in a long time because, like, I just don't
- 48:11Speaker 1: want to. They're so not fun. Then I really don't
- 48:14Speaker 1: like going on first dates. I really just want God
- 48:18Speaker 1: to drop a man into my lap and then I
- 48:21Speaker 1: can date him. I don't want to go on all
- 48:22Speaker 1: these dates to meet someone that I think I could date.
- 48:26Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean? Isn't that is that
- 48:28Speaker 1: horrible for me to say? No, I don't think it's
- 48:31Speaker 1: bad for you to say at all. I mean I
- 48:32Speaker 1: think it's the place in your life you're at, and
- 48:35Speaker 1: you should accept that time and know that whatever is

- 50:54Speaker 1: Please do? Okay. So I had Siggy Flicker on my
- 50:57Speaker 1: other podcast this week and she gave me this this
- 51:00Speaker 1: advice that really just stressed me out. Um My dad
- 51:04Speaker 1: always used to say, like, when you're doing your thing
- 51:06Speaker 1: and you have your career rolling, that's when you'll meet
- 51:09Speaker 1: somebody organically. And I was like, that's a lovely way
- 51:11Speaker 1: of thinking about it. That's what I'm gonna do. Because
- 51:14Speaker 1: we live very social lives, right Ben, And I don't
- 51:16Speaker 1: know about you, but I really do need my alone time,
- 51:19Speaker 1: like to just decompress. I'm I'm an introvert, extrovert in
- 51:23Speaker 1: the way that like when I'm out and about, I'm
- 51:25Speaker 1: very like friendly and outgoing, but I do need my
- 51:28Speaker 1: alone time to recharge. So the last thing I want
- 51:32Speaker 1: to do at the end of the day is going
- 51:33Speaker 1: on like a socially exhausting first date. Um So, I
- 51:38Speaker 1: always just hope that I would meet him organically, but
- 51:39Speaker 1: she made it seem like I need to go and
- 51:41Speaker 1: like kind of like make it almost like a job,
- 51:44Speaker 1: like I have to go on at least one first
- 51:46Speaker 1: day to week and I'm like, really, um, the past
- 51:49Speaker 1: three times, the past three dates that I've gone on
- 51:51Speaker 1: over the summer, and because I have taken a little
- 51:53Speaker 1: bit of a break of caring, because I like to
- 51:55Speaker 1: think of my dad's motto, I'm going to find them
- 51:57Speaker 1: organically doing the things that I love to do. Um.
- 52:00Speaker 1: But these are how I met the past three dates.
- 52:03Speaker 1: One met organically, that was the guy that I like
- 52:06Speaker 1: the most. Um too, went on a hinge date and
- 52:10Speaker 1: that was just straight uphoard three it was a setup
- 52:14Speaker 1: and that that's set up was the one where I
- 52:16Speaker 1: said I didn't feel any chemistry and it was hard
- 52:19Speaker 1: to keep conversation for just an hour. Okay, so perfect.
- 52:22Speaker 1: So I mean we have the traditional organic, we have
- 52:25Speaker 1: an app date who you know is becoming pretty traditional.
- 52:28Speaker 1: I have a lot of friends and a lot of
- 52:29Speaker 1: people I know that have met on so through a
- 52:32Speaker 1: dating app of some kind. Um. And so at the
- 52:36Speaker 1: end of this, I think all of us out there
- 52:38Speaker 1: who are dating are trying and doing the best we can.
- 52:42Speaker 1: So there's not these I think that's the one thing
- 52:44Speaker 1: that always gets in my mind is are there secret
- 52:46Speaker 1: ways at which people are meeting people that I'm missing
- 52:49Speaker 1: out on, Like, am I just not aware of this
- 52:52Speaker 1: super cool little nightclub that everybody goes to and everybody
- 52:56Speaker 1: falls in love at um where there is this like
- 52:58Speaker 1: secret television show out there that everybody seems to want
- 53:01Speaker 1: to go on to fall in love and meeting people
- 53:02Speaker 1: and getting married and having babies? Like where am I
- 53:04Speaker 1: missing the mark? And I think the truth is is
- 53:08Speaker 1: for everybody out there listening, you aren't missing the mark.
- 53:12Speaker 1: You're right on target. You're doing the right things. Your
- 53:14Speaker 1: heart's open if you're ready and you're interested. I can't
- 53:18Speaker 1: promise you that you'll meet somebody I don't want to
- 53:21Speaker 1: do that. That's not the promise I can give you.
- 53:22Speaker 1: I can promise you, though, that the pursuit is in
- 53:26Speaker 1: the right direction if you're ready and if you're putting
- 53:29Speaker 1: yourself out there and that's the only thing you can do. Okay, Well, Sophia,
- 53:34Speaker 1: I'm sorry that your date didn't go super well, but
- 53:38Speaker 1: don't worry about it. You guys just you weren't meant
- 53:41Speaker 1: to be. Yeah, I mean you should have known what
- 53:43Speaker 1: the side hug you gotta go Pelvis to pelvis really
- 53:45Speaker 1: didn't Mark, don't go side hug that's when we got
- 53:48Speaker 1: more emails coming up. I want to hit up one
- 53:50Speaker 1: more email here at least um from one of our
- 53:53Speaker 1: listeners and try to respond, Okay, this one I think
- 53:56Speaker 1: is really important, Hi, Ben and Ashley. I am interested
- 54:00Speaker 1: and knowing what happens to everyone's original jobs they had
- 54:03Speaker 1: before going on the show. I just find it disappointing
- 54:06Speaker 1: that these regular, normal, everyday working individuals prior to the show,
- 54:09Speaker 1: and then they go on to find love, and then
- 54:10Speaker 1: they never get back to their true normal life without
- 54:12Speaker 1: having a celebrity status after the show. Anna, Anna, you
- 54:16Speaker 1: quit and you do social media. I don't know what
- 54:17Speaker 1: she's talking about. Sounds like a great idea to me.
- 54:20Speaker 1: I have so many feelings on this one. Nothing frustrates
- 54:26Speaker 1: me more than people commenting under our pictures on social
- 54:29Speaker 1: media saying you really have to go get a job.
- 54:33Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, I guess this podcast. I guess my
- 54:37Speaker 1: I don't get a podcast. I guess the correspondent work
- 54:39Speaker 1: that I do for Access Hollywood. I guess that me
- 54:42Speaker 1: hosting a clever news that's not a real job. Like
- 54:45Speaker 1: my four real jobs. They guess they don't count because
- 54:48Speaker 1: they're in media and because I went to broadcasting school,
- 54:52Speaker 1: like I have my masters and broadcasting. This is my job.
- 54:55Speaker 1: And just because it's fun doesn't mean it's not a job.
- 54:59Speaker 1: I mean, I don't go. I don't know why people
- 55:00Speaker 1: complain about this. I think there is a little bit
- 55:02Speaker 1: of a sellout factor, like if you start promoting products
- 55:05Speaker 1: that you don't believe in and that you don't like,
- 55:07Speaker 1: and I think that's wrong. Um, but here's the deal.
- 55:10Speaker 1: A lot of the comments that you're getting, Ashley, that
- 55:12Speaker 1: I get are happening about two o'clock in the afternoon
- 55:15Speaker 1: Eastern time, which is about at the core of the
- 55:17Speaker 1: work week. All right, I mean, this is the Wednesday.
- 55:20Speaker 1: I just want to know what these people are doing
- 55:21Speaker 1: with their lives, um, and and all. You know, we
- 55:24Speaker 1: could go through all the jobs we have. I still
- 55:26Speaker 1: have my full time job. I still love my full
- 55:28Speaker 1: time job. I get to do some cool stuff on
- 55:29Speaker 1: the side. It doesn't really matter, honestly, And I think
- 55:32Speaker 1: that's the part that's the most frustrated everybody out there too,
- 55:35Speaker 1: that that has to take this, like, um, criticism of
- 55:40Speaker 1: go get a job, why are you just famous? Now?
- 55:42Speaker 1: We'll shoot Yeah, maybe maybe these people have a platform
- 55:45Speaker 1: now and they can use it to either do what
- 55:46Speaker 1: they've always wanted to do or tried to use it
- 55:48Speaker 1: for good, right, And I think Jade has a really
- 55:51Speaker 1: good point when she explains selling out and how many
- 55:54Speaker 1: as she and Tner do. She's like, well, my house,
- 55:58Speaker 1: my beautiful house, was on this and I'm providing like
- 56:02Speaker 1: the most loving, wonderful life for my daughter and right
- 56:05Speaker 1: now we're just we have a college fund for her
- 56:09Speaker 1: which is almost done, and like we are providing the
- 56:11Speaker 1: best life for our kids, and like we're going to
- 56:13Speaker 1: just keep doing it. And I think this is the thing,
- 56:16Speaker 1: and this isn't it something we need to keep expounding on.
- 56:18Speaker 1: I think I'd be I mean, I've I've worked for
- 56:21Speaker 1: five years and I still sit in the cubicle and
- 56:23Speaker 1: I still have a computer in front of me, and
- 56:24Speaker 1: I still love my Excel spreadsheets, um, and I do
- 56:29Speaker 1: still with myself, even get frustrated with the idea that
- 56:32Speaker 1: I could post a picture on Instagram and make a
- 56:35Speaker 1: lot of money doing it and and be able to
- 56:38Speaker 1: support myself so I don't have to sit behind the
- 56:40Speaker 1: cubic all at the time. And that's not a bad idea.
- 56:42Speaker 1: It is a weird idea, and I understand why it
- 56:44Speaker 1: could be frustrating to see people do that. So here's
- 56:46Speaker 1: where I get frustrated, and here's where the changing happens.
- 56:49Speaker 1: I really don't care if Ashley, or if Jade or
- 56:52Speaker 1: of Tanner. If these people are posting products on their
- 56:55Speaker 1: social media and they're making money from it and that's
- 56:57Speaker 1: what they're doing to survive, that's a great thing. And
- 56:59Speaker 1: like Jade said, she's able to support her family from it, well,
- 57:02Speaker 1: I care about. But also at the same time, Tanner
- 57:04Speaker 1: has a great job and he makes a lot of
- 57:06Speaker 1: money from his job, so supplemental income. But so my
- 57:11Speaker 1: point is this, it's what you're doing with it. Are
- 57:14Speaker 1: you doing good with it? You've been given so much,
- 57:18Speaker 1: You've been handed so much, You've literally gone on a
- 57:21Speaker 1: show and we've became entertainers for whatever reason, um, which
- 57:25Speaker 1: is an awesome thing. And I help everybody out there
- 57:27Speaker 1: listening and that watches The Bachelor's really enjoyed kind of
- 57:30Speaker 1: watching our stories unfull because they are they are our stories.
- 57:35Speaker 1: But now to all the entertainers out there, my call
- 57:37Speaker 1: to action is what are you doing with it? Are
- 57:39Speaker 1: you just making money? Are you just posting pictures. Do
- 57:42Speaker 1: you just drive the nicest car, now, do you just
- 57:44Speaker 1: buy the bigger house? Do you wear the nicest clothes?
- 57:46Speaker 1: Or are you giving back? Are you saying, hey, thank
- 57:49Speaker 1: you all for what you've given me. Now it's my
- 57:53Speaker 1: time to give something else. And that's what it might
- 57:55Speaker 1: call is. So go make your money, Go post your pictures,
- 57:58Speaker 1: go support products, go out there and shake hands and
- 58:00Speaker 1: kiss babies for appearances. But in the day, make sure
- 58:04Speaker 1: that you can sleep at night because something good is
- 58:06Speaker 1: coming out of it. This is how I think about it.
- 58:09Speaker 1: So say I go post an ad um. I'm able
- 58:12Speaker 1: to live off the ads that I can put together
- 58:16Speaker 1: this charity event that's going to raise like hundreds of
- 58:19Speaker 1: times more than what I got for that ad for charity.
- 58:22Speaker 1: And same with you, Ben. Now you can go, you
- 58:25Speaker 1: do this podcast, you talk, you do you do ads
- 58:28Speaker 1: during the podcast, and now you're able to go take
- 58:30Speaker 1: time off and go to Honduras. That's right, and then
- 58:32Speaker 1: go buy a generous coffee because I need you to
- 58:35Speaker 1: help me get out of my job. Bio clarity. So, um,
- 58:42Speaker 1: one part about looking good is having good skin. That's
- 58:45Speaker 1: one thing Ashley you know, has talked about often. I
- 58:48Speaker 1: talked about often. Actually, last night I had something pop
- 58:51Speaker 1: up my face. I said hi to it, and it's
- 58:52Speaker 1: no longer there this morning because of bio Clarity. Okay,
- 58:57Speaker 1: here's the deal. Bio Clarity is delivered straight you and
- 59:00Speaker 1: it's an easy as twice daily, three step system and
- 59:03Speaker 1: it's natural without harsh chemicals. Bio Clarity helps you maintain

- 59:41Speaker 1: bacteria that causes acne and it's going to clear it

- 1:00:06Speaker 1: look like the same bio Clarity when you get in
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: the mall in the mall in the mail, but it
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: actually is. And we've been getting so many tweets from
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: you guys saying that you've been buying bio Clarity because
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: of us. So we want to know what kind of
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: results you're getting, so tweet us about how it's working
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: for you. Bo Clarity is leading a revolution of good
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: skin and the almost famous podcast is to blame. All right,
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: So this topic, like I said, has really really affected
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: me over the last few months. It makes me feel
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: awkward inside in all sorts of ways. We have to
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: get some callers out there and we're asking the question
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: is it okay or do you call your boyfriend daddy? Um?
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: Right now, we have a couple of callers in the line. Actually,
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: who are they? We got Carol from Ontario, Canada. Hi, Hi,
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: thank you so much for calling in gosh, no problem,
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: Hey Carol, Um, So what do you think? Is it
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: creepy or is it fine? I think in the right context,
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: it can be slipped in and it's okay. Wait, in
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: the right context, it can be what and it's okay,
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: like slipped in like in a joking way. It could
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: be like, oh, daddy, you know, I wish you could
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: see my facial expression right now. Oh trust me, I'm
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: probably just in bed. See. Maybe it's not okay for
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: me because like my dad's number in my phone it
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: says daddy. Like I just call my dad daddy half
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: the time. I will definitely not work for you then.
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: But I think if you're calling your dad father, but
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: you know, if you just kind of slipped in daddy,
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: but I think it will be okay. Oh no, I'm
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: so uncomfortable. So I gotta ask you. So when you okay? So,
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: if you slip in the daddy and you get it
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: and you sell it right and he's okay with it,
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: how long do you have to wait to kiss him
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: afterwards before it's no longer awkward? I mean, I think
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: you want to move in right away. Oh come on, Carol, Carol,
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: violence the awkward silence will make it ten times words.
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: You need to fill it with something. Does your significant
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: other enjoy it? I don't think he likes it particularly,
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: but I think sometimes it surprises him, so it's like, oh, wow,
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: you know, things are getting weird, Carol. Can I call
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: my girlfriend mommy? No? No, okay, now I'm mad. If
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: you can call your boyfriend's daddy. I want to be
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: able to call my girlfriend's mommy. I mean, if she's
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: okay with it, whatever floats your boat. But I don't
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: think that's a societal norm. Okay, Well, what about I
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: can do like I like a little Latin flair, and
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: I'm like all about like the mommy or the poppy,
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: Like that's cute. I'm into that. Actually, I spent a
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: lot of time in Latin America, and what you just
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: did there is not Latin. Okay, Well, I'm just gonna
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: have j LO songs. Yeah, I think I'm totally down
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: for the mommy. I think it's a little different too.
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: Thank you so much. We have somebody who has quite
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: a bit of explanation on this topic. It's Alyssa from Connecticut. Hey, Alyssa,
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: what is your theory on calling the dude daddy. So
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: I have like a theory because with my friend, I
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: will be like, oh, god, guys such a daddy. I
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: don't have a boyfriend, so I don't call my boyfriend
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: daddy because it doesn't exist. But I feel like there's
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: levels of like you're like, oh, he's such a daddy.
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: I follow some Instagram that plays hot guys called like
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: dirty daddy's, but now gilts are a whole other thing.
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: Well what can I say, Like, like, when I see
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: a really hot I'm like, oh my god, do daddy
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: Like I just I know Astley you love Harry Styles.
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: I just saw him last week and I'm like, oh,
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: who's the daddy? Like I wouldn't talk that, I wouldn't
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: call it daddy. But I feel like if I ever
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: actually heard my friends or ever thought to myself, I'm
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: going to call my boyfriend and daddy like I would
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: need there because that's not normal. This is where I'm
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: going to just stow this out here. And you're right,
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: Harry Style daddy, I'll let you too, because I can
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: use the exception to life. Yeah, he's the exception to
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: all things. So no, I just wonder, why is your
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: response even without a boyfriend. When you're explaining a good
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: looking guy, why is it? Daddy? That's what I'm trying
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: to get down to. I'm I mean, I don't even
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: know if I'm okay with people calling each other daddy's
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: and mommy's yet, because I don't even know what you're
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: meaning by it, Like what do you mean? So I
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: don't Well, when I hear mommy, I get like ringey.
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: But Daddy. I feel like when you think of like
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: a Dil's, you're like, oh, I want like maybe like
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: that's your goal, Like I want to marry a dilt
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: and like raised my kids with like this amazing guy
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: and be like lusting after him always, when maybe you
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: were attributing, sorry, do you think of like a celebrity
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: Dil's Like who is it? Who's the idea Dil's? Oh
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: my god, there's like so many has been so bad?
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: Are you get too excited? I know? I always thinking,
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: like Nick Dreamy, like like what I think? I can't
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: believe you just said that, because Ben, that's what I
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: was just gonna say, And then how weird would that's been?
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, like, God, you deal with
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: my head? I see m Dreamy shut exactly. I can't believe.
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: I think that also, honestly was kind of like the
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: attraction for me to Peter. I was like, oh, he's
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: kind of a daddy. Hold on, hold on, yeah. I
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: was just gonna say, Peter defines gylt to me, and
- 1:06:07Speaker 1: he's not even a dad. He looks exactly like the idea.
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: That's why you say daddy, because it's like, oh, he's
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: hot and he's going to be a guilt nothing hotter
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: than a guy who was hot and a warm, loving father,
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: exactly like if I see I used to work at
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: at smothe place. I don't anymore, but when I used
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: to see guys coming with their babies, I was like,
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: oh my god, you're ten times hotter than you would
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: have ever been. We'll see. We have Easton in the studio.
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: Easton is one of our sound guys and he just
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: got married and he said, hey, does my wedding ring
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: make me look more trustworthy and reliable? And I said,
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: I always say, like, we see wedding rings and we're like,
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: oh my god, there's so much hotter. But I think
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: it's because we're like, oh my god, they settled and
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: like they're willing to be that person in our minds.
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: So it's like so much more attractive. But I would
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: never I would never like meet Ben and be like,
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: then you're such a daddy. I would like say it
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: to my sister. I'd be like, oh, but actually then
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: I don't think then like I'm not being rude, but
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: I don't think look at you as a daddy. But
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: like I wouldn't meet Peter and be like, oh my god, Hi, Peter,
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: nice to meet you. You're such a daddy. You and
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: Peter were intimate, would you say bring it daddy? Oh
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: my god. I don't know, like cringing thinking about that.
- 1:07:22Speaker 1: I don't know. I think I would like text my
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: sister my friends and be like, oh my god, he's
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: such a daddy or he was such a daddy. But
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: I don't I don't know. Maybe in the heat of
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: the moment, but like then I feel like I would
- 1:07:31Speaker 1: be like what did I just say? Sorry? Uh? I
- 1:07:33Speaker 1: would I would turn real awkward. Okay, So there's different
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: categories to this, Like so you look at Peter and daddy,
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: you look at me and be like, oh, he's he's
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: a wholesome, handsome one. He's a wholesome, young man who
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: looks like he has a good head on his shoulders.
