1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: This is the Benn and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: with i R Radio. Hey Ben Higgins, Hello, Ashley, Hike

3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: and Nettie. How are you doing. I'm good. How are

4
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:16,080
Speaker 1: you feeling feeling I'm feeling okay. I didn't sleep good

5
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:20,240
Speaker 1: last night. I'm I'm I'm making it honestly. The recovery

6
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: is easier than I expected. But at the same time,

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: I'm more uncomfortable because six weeks of crutching around just

8
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: a little tough. But it's not the biggest issue in

9
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: the world. Um, but yeah, I'm not sleeping great, so

10
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 1: I'm just a little worn out all the time. That sucks.

11
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: What what kind of sleeper? Are you? Normally? A stomach

12
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: sleeper or back sleeper, a side sleeper. I'm I've always,

13
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: since I was a little kid, had a body pillow,

14
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: and so, oh yeah, so I have a body put

15
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 1: the pregnancy pillow, Oh I always have. I put my

16
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: right leg on that, I wrapped my arm, my right

17
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: arm around that in my left arm hanging straight to

18
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: my side, and I kind of put my pillow up

19
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: so my neck isn't that crunched. I kind of put

20
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: it up on my shoulders so like it's a weird position.

21
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 1: And I've also gotten really into these like bamboo like

22
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: pillows like the like years ago, Like they're like tempera pedic,

23
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: so they're a little skinnier. What about you, Well, I'm

24
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: just curious. Do you stay in that same very specific

25
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: position all night long? No? I don't think so I

26
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: wake up okay, that's you're falling asleep position. Yeah, and

27
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: then I usually I usually wake up on my back.

28
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: I had this fear as a kid that if I

29
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: didn't sleep on my back, um, it was like bad

30
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: for me. And so I've always taught myself this somehow

31
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: make it to my back, like, well, that's amazing. That's

32
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: been like a goal in my life for the past

33
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: couple of years, ever since I started seeing sleep wrinkles,

34
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: which is so not a concern of mine right now,

35
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: because I too, have not been able to sleep very

36
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: well consistently for the past couple of months. Because they

37
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: tell pregnant women that you shouldn't be sleeping on your

38
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: stomach or your back, But there's like conflicting reports out there.

39
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: Some say it's totally fine to do unless, like you

40
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: wake up uncomfortable, like your body will tell you if

41
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: it's not good for you. But anyway, I've been trying

42
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: to sleep on my side and it's just not very good.

43
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: I finally kind of fat because I've always been a

44
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,519
Speaker 1: stomach sleeper, always um, and I kind of just found

45
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: a new position where it's just kind of like my

46
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: chest is down but my stomach I twist to the side. Yeah,

47
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: And I've been having crazy night sweats. It wasn't until like,

48
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: I mean consistently for weeks, and this week it's been

49
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 1: like every other night. So it's promising. But I'm telling you,

50
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: waking up so gross gross gross. Actually you are crushing

51
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: it right now. Jared is just living a dream. Oh

52
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: I know. And a couple of months ago, at the

53
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: beginning of it all, it smelled like urine. The sweat

54
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: smelled like urine. I got out of that, thank goodness.

55
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: But he felt so bad because one morning he was like,

56
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: oh God, did you what the It's just uh I

57
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: it isn't wild with the human body. Does like as

58
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: absolutely bizarre and you're you're a trooper through it. Well, Ashley,

00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: Bachelor in Paradise. Brack are like fantasy um pool, and

70

00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: with all of you listeners a little bit more bringing in.

Speaker 1: We've had a great, I mean a tremendous response for it,

73
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: and every week we announced a rule uh that will

74
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,640

Speaker 1: contestant mentions that they can see a future with a

77
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: another contestant. Again, you get ten more points if a

78
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: contestant that you've picked in your fantasy pool mentions that

79
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: they can see a future with another contestant. That's the

80
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,679
Speaker 1: rule for this week. Best of luck, Uh, we're getting

00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: announced very soon. That should be easy for this week,

83
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: you know, because we're getting serious serious. Yeah, we're talking engagements.

84
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 1: All right, Let's take a quick break and then we

85
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: will get right into the Bachelor in Paradise recap. All right,

86
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: So we start out this episode, Ashley with the sneak peak,

87
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: which is always an engaging piece of an episode. Starts

88
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: out with, uh, with a lot of serious conversations. We

89
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: know relationships are gonna start getting serious, we just don't

90
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: know how serious they're gonna become. Uh. We all see

91
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 1: that Kenny is falling in love with Mari DeMar has

92
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: come to the island. We know that's gonna shake things up.

93
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: And also Joe is all about Serena. That's where the

94
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: sneak peek ends and Ashley take it away from part one. Alright, Well,

95
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: the sneak peek and exactly where we left off last week,

96
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: which was Joe and Serena telling each other they were

97
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: falling in love with each other and us having to

98
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: seek Kendall be tortured by just being steps away from

99
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 1: this very romantic scene we see her walk away last

100
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:49,359
Speaker 1: week and that's where we leave off, and man, so

101
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 1: so heartbreaking. She ends up soon after going over to

102
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: Joe and just saying that she needs to talk. And

103
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: I respect Kendall for being so tough this moment, but

104
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: I also just like feel like she may have been

105
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 1: too tough, maybe throughout the entire thing, even from the

106
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: day she got there, Like maybe the best thing would

107
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: have just been like, hey, Joe, I'm actually just here

108
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: to see we can work out. And if we can't

109
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: work out, I don't think I can do anything. Can't

110
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: I can't although if I can find love here. Maybe

111
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: she was hoping hopelessly optimistic. Um, I just I don't.

112
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel so bad because she says

113
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: in the car as she leaves, because Joe, you know,

114
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: says he says flat out that like they're not going

115
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: to be together. Um, And she says in the car

116
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: Joe is my person and stuff like that. And I

117
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: feel like in those in the moment interviews we get

118
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: to see like more of her being open, and I

119
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: think with Joe, she she just tries to kind of

120
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: be a little bit tougher, and you felt like she

121
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: had back a hell back. I mean I possibly I

122
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: felt like that that scene was really raw. Um. But

123
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: that being said, even though I think she did hold back, UM,

124
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: I don't think that it would have gone her way

125
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: even if she didn't, you know what I mean. No,

126
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: it's not I never watched this ever since the last

127
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: like seeing Joe and serene and kind of hearing Joe's emotion.

128
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: I wasn't watching this kindle Joe scene thinking that anything

129
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: was going to come from it necessarily. I was mostly

130
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: wanting like some healing for her, or some closure or

131
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: like again the band aid kind of being ripped off,

132
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: and this to be like kind of something that now

133
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: she has to process that this is done. And I

134
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: think we got there. I think it took a long

135
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: time to get there. But I never felt like, even

136
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: if she made the full press on Joe, that it

137
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: was ever gonna go any direction other than how it ended.

138
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: I completely agree. I completely agree. So like, even if

139
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: she were more out there about her feelings, which I

140
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: think it's evident by like the behavior, like the nonverbal behavior,

141
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: that she just wanted to be there to be with him,

142
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: but never really fully admitted that. I don't think that

143
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: I think it was over over and I guess it's

144
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: just hard for me. It's really hard for me to

145
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: watch one the heartbreak and like she says with wells

146
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: at at the bar, She's like, have you ever seen

147
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: your ex kiss somebody? You know, it's just like such

148
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: an unnatural environment to be in and it's like the

149
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 1: most heartbreaking thing. And then, um, I just feel like

150
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: a lot of me was I don't want to use

151
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: the word frustrated, but let's just go with it that

152
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: Kendall didn't come out about these feelings in the whole

153
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: past year that she had the opportunity to do so

154
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 1: before Paradise, because they seemed so strong. Why wait until

155
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: he's given this opportunity to like find love again. I mean,

156
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: he gets the opportunity every day and you know, regular life,

157
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: But in Paradise, I just feel like she missed out

158
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: on a chance to be with him again. I I'm

159
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: with you. I wonder what caused it to happen now?

160
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: I mean it could have been worse timing, because one,

161
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: it has to be done on the beach on camera

162
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 1: in a very real moment too. You know, she came

163
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: in late and Joe is already in a relationship, so

164
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: that had to be you know, that was going to

165
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: get to like what what what caused this to happen? Now?

166
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 1: And maybe it's not a question we'll ever figure out

167
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: because we really get any answers to it, um, but

168
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: it it is something to explore. And it was hard

169
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: to watch, you know, because we you know, as we've mentioned,

170
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: she's she's a tremendous human and it's it's hard to

171
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: see these things happen. But the one question I have

172
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: for you to kind of move on then, is how

173
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: do we know anything about Kendall's relationship with Ivan? Because

174
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: that just kind of got pushed aside, and like Ivan

175
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: is upset, kind of confused, Like we don't get a

176
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: lot about it, but like, is this a really tough

177
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: situation for him to sit in? No, Okay, it doesn't

178
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: seem like he was that attached. And I think it's

179
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: like super stupid of me to say, like, oh, he's

180
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: the only noted for a few days, because we all

181
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: know how I've acted after only knowing somebody for a

182
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: few days. But it just seemed like Ivan was more

183
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: obsessed to like where his rose was coming from, and

184
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: not so much Kendall. I'm sure he got vibes throughout

185
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: their time together that she wasn't completely in it and

186
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: that ye know, her focus was Joe. I'm not concerned

187
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: about Ivan. Ivan such a sweet guy. I hope the

188
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: best for him. I really don't care that things didn't

189
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: work out for him at Kendall. Yeah, there's there. Well,

190
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: there's a lot of Ivan that we're gonna see at

191
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 1: the end of the episode that we'll get to too,

192
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: and a different side of Ivan that we haven't seen

193
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: at well. All right, so I can end up leaving

194
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: the beach, and so the relationships that are left here

195
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: on the beach at this point, just to give a

196
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: recap or Mari and kN Kenny, Abigail, Noah, Serena and Joe,

197
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: Thomas and Becca, which we haven't seen a lot from,

198
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 1: which is super weird to me. UH and Riley and

199
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 1: Marissa Little John is hosting UH this week. He announces

200
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: that two people and two new people are coming to

201
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: the beach. Damar and Ed I'm not shocked with Demorrow,

202
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, Demorrow makes it. I'm a little shocked

203
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 1: that Egg caused UH, like some mix up on the beach,

204
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: some interest, Like it's just not somebody I thought would

205
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: come to the beach and shake things up, but him

206
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: and Natasha actually click like it like is working. M hmm.

207
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: I don't know why we think of Ed as like

208
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: such a character. I kind of think of him like

209
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: Daniel Um. What's daniels last name? Uh, yeah, I know

210
00:11:54,559 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: it's from Canada. Yeah, Canadian speedo Daniel Um. I don't

211
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: know why we think of him like in a such

212
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: a silly way, but he just has like that caricature personality.

213
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: And I agree, like, I never thought that that would

214
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: be somebody that Natasha would click with, but it definitely

215
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: seems that there's something there. I don't think that this

216
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: is like going to go very far, but I'm happy

217
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: that Natasha just has somebody that she wants to make

218
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: out with. Yeah that she's Yeah, you're in paradise. It's

219
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: nice that you have somebody you're gonna kiss. The the

220
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,839
Speaker 1: interesting one and and we still haven't seen it, and

221
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 1: we have to flash back to last week. I know

222
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: our listeners are are very interested in this scene because

223
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 1: we were, and we've heard about it from them. The

224
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: Marissa kissing somebody seen never shows up this week, and

225
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: so is that still yet to come? Because we see

226
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,839
Speaker 1: some issues coming on there is it still yet to come? Well,

227
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: it wasn't in the preview, and I would think it'd

228
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: be in the preview, but it happened. We saw it

229
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: on tape. We must know what's going on. And my

230
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: best guess is if if it does happen, it will

231
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: be during the rest of the date time cocktail party.

232
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: It would Yeah, it would be a shock. And I

233
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 1: know that she had mentioned during this episode and you

234
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 1: know that there's some issues going on with her and

235
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: Riley or she wasn't like necessarily knowing where he was at.

236
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: But that kind of got fixed. It felt like, um.

237
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: She also had, you know, straight up said that she

238
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: was there for tomorrow, like she went to the beach

239
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: for tomorrow. So there's obviously like this going in interest.

240
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: It honestly threw me off because I was I was

241
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: really thinking that Riley and Merissa had this like really strong,

242
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:35,199
Speaker 1: almost impenetrable like connection and then we see it kind

243
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,479
Speaker 1: of fall apart within a few minutes during this episode,

244
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: just for a few minutes. But I think she would

245
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: have said yes to a date. I'm assuming, but I

246
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: think she would have said yes to a date with

247
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: tomorrow if you would ask. I'm a little confused how

248
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 1: it went. So, Yeah, I initially thought she was gonna

249
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: say yes, And then when he didn't ask Marissa, I

250
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: thought that maybe we didn't see a part where she said, like,

251
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: I've been really into you, been waiting for you to come. However,

252
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: I'm too far in with Riley, um, and I'm respecting

253
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 1: that relationship. I'm really excited where it's going. And then

254
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: if we do get the kiss, then I'm going to

255
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: be like super super duper confused. Yeah, and then Riley

256
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: was all defensive and he was like, I wouldn't have

257
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: said anything, but I would have been upset, and I

258
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: just kind of wish that he would have just said

259
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: I would have I would have been upset, and I

260
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: would have wished that you didn't go. And then he

261
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: kind of breaks his barriers and it's like, I'm just

262
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: so scared to open up, and this is why, and

263
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: you know, and I get there and and that was

264
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: a good scene to have because it did fill some gaps.

265
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: But am I wrong Ashley to be saying that? Like

266
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: I was thrown off on the Marissa right, like, are

267
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: we are we leaning too far into this? Because a

268
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: few weeks ago, we would have said this, this relationship

269
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: seems like it's going to last way outside of Paradise.

270
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: How do you go from saying I'm falling in love

271
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: with you too within forty eight hours kissing somebody else?

272
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: I don't know. I really don't know. And that's something

273
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: to watch. And so note that everybody for the upcoming

274
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: episodes is like, what is going to go on here?

275
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: Because it's it's gonna be very shocking. Um to me,

276
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: I have a feeling this the end of Paradise, Uh

277
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: is gonna be It's gonna be something that we've never

278
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: seen before. I might have some insight knowledge on that too.

279
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: Oh is that the Wells tease when he said that

280
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: there's something that happens that he's never seen before? Or

281
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: did we already get past that? I don't think we've

282
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: gotten past it yet. Oh really? Oh fantastic. Yeah, there's

283
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: still more to come, and so as good as this

284
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: season's been, it's only gonna get better. With that tease,

285
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: let's take a break here, Ashley. When we come back,

286
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about the couples of the beach,

287
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: the new group date that's going on, and everything else

288
00:15:55,400 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: in paradise. Alright, Ashley, So back at the beach, Um,

289
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: we have some cute things going on. We have Joe,

290
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: who we love. Dr Joe playing the ukulele, makes a

291
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: little scene. Know and Abigail have a little date. We

292
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: haven't seen enough from them this season. It's been a

293
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: very quiet, which can only make me imagine that it's

294
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: going nowhere. Really, you know, yeah, because we've seen so

295
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: little from them, and yet they've been together pretty much

296
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: the entire time, with like maybe one day out of it.

297
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: It makes me feel like they're not going anywhere. I

298
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: would argue differently because of the Kevin and Astrid situation

299
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: when we saw Kevin and Astrod none during that season.

300
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: Kevin and Astrid broke up at the end of the season. Um,

301
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: you're right, I forgot that piece. But now they haven't

302
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: a baby. Wow, things are wild. Okay, you're not wrong there.

303
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: So maybe it doesn't go anywhere. Maybe this isn't a

304
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: relationship we should get attached to. Um. And again I

305
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: mentioned that, you know, Beck and Thomas like we see

306
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 1: nothing from them, and and so really the couples that

307
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: like we see the most from her Kenny and Mary, Uh,

308
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:17,679
Speaker 1: Marissa and Riley, uh Joe and Serena, And am I

309
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: wrong in saying those are the relationships that we really

310
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: like right now, have the most invested into for sure?

311
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 1: For sure? Should we talk about Kenny and Mary's date? Yeah,

312
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 1: I think that's the best place to leave, because really

313
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: the new group date where uh Riley happened, Yeah, nothing happened.

314
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: I mean Riley didn't end up being upset because Chelsea

315
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,199
Speaker 1: went with the mar and Natasha with Ed. As we mentioned,

316
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: Natasha and Ed kind of have a connection, but Chelsea

317
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: wasn't into Tamar didn't really work out. That was kind

318
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: of nothing from them besides the painting. And then we

319
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: saw Natasha and Ed kiss in a red lipstick kiss

320
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,199
Speaker 1: and I was thinking when she was wearing the red

321
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,199
Speaker 1: red lipstick, I was like, is she wearing the red

322
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: lipsick because she doesn't want to kiss ed? Because every

323
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: girl knows that if you don't want to kiss the

324
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 1: guy you're going on a date with, you should wear

325
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 1: red lipstick because the guys are usually afraid of it.

326
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:09,360
Speaker 1: Ed didn't seem to even realize. I Uh, I think

327
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 1: he was just I think he was just so happy.

328
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: I think he was so happy to just be sitting

329
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: next to Natasha that he was like, I'm into whatever,

330
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: Like I don't care what I like. Um, but that's it. Okay,

331
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 1: So Kenny and Mary date. I actually actually will say this.

332
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: I usually watching things like this usually don't kind of

333
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: like make me feel any sort of weird way. Um,

334
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: awkward conversations make me a little bit, like I feel

335
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: a lot more awkward than you know, these kind of dates.

336
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: This one like really pushed the boundaries though, Like I

337
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 1: this was this is a wild date for ABC for

338
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: eight o'clock ABC. There's been so many there. Well, there's

339
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,880
Speaker 1: been the whipped cream looking off toes, and then there

340
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: was tea and like the naked volleyball, and then there

341
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: was this I'm talking about like I mean the innu

342
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 1: and like it was it was a lot um you know.

343
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: And then I don't know, I don't know how you

344
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 1: feel about this actually, but you know, I'm a little

345
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: more secretive when it comes to stuff. But like even

346
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: Kenny saying, like what people don't know about Mari is

347
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: she's like a freak. Like great, that's awesome, good for Mari,

348
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 1: Like do you girl, But like I don't know if

349
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: you necessarily want that maybe she does, maybe she doesn't mind,

350
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: but like, ont that being said across the eight o'clock

351
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: ABC hour. Maybe that's just something that you should keep

352
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,360
Speaker 1: between each other. Maybe not. I just feel like it's

353
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: it was, it was the whole date was throwing me off. Well,

354
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 1: you and I are both a little bit more conservative

355
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: when it comes to that stuff. I think that we

356
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 1: are uncomfortable with if it all depends on the personality,

357
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,919
Speaker 1: and I think the two of them are probably actually

358
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: pretty comfortable with it. So I mean have to say

359
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,360
Speaker 1: that they're not going to be cringing watching it tonight

360
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 1: because their families are probably watching it. Oh my god,

361
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: that's what I would be thinking about. It's crazy. And

362
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 1: then the second half was like so sweet, and they

363
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 1: said that they're falling in love with each other, and

364
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: it really seemed like Kenny has like never said I

365
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 1: love you before. He said I I don't say that

366
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 1: to humans. I say that to dogs. That's that's sweet. No,

367
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: you're right. The second half the day was so sweet,

368
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 1: and you know what, it's been fun to watch their

369
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 1: relationship because it is so different than anything that like

370
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 1: maybe I mean I'm gonna speak for you like that,

371
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 1: you and I are comfortable with it just shows it's

372
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: been It's always fun on Paradise to see these different

373
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 1: couples and kind of how they interact and that they

374
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: you know, when they get to know each other, like

375
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,120
Speaker 1: the kind of dates they set up for each other,

376
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,239
Speaker 1: how they speak to each other. Kenny and Mary had

377
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: a really sweet evening session, and it makes me think

378
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: that there is something very very strong here um and

379
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: I hope there an engagement. They're talking engagement, they're talking

380
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:04,679
Speaker 1: future and and they and they feel like they like

381
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 1: you see some depth in it too, like they're both pulling.

382
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 1: Especially with Kenny, you're seeing a depth get pulled out

383
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 1: of him that like I think he had like originally

384
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: probably wasn't expecting to like go to you know, he

385
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: shows up to the beach naked, kind of having fun,

386
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: Like I think he thought this would just be a

387
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: good experience. And now you're seeing him like really open up.

388
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,199
Speaker 1: And I think that's because of his trust and his

389
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 1: relationship with Mari. He says he's never felt this way before,

390
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 1: and I really actually believe it, even though he's forty.

391
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: It's uh, it's it's a relationship to watch. It's one

392
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: the root for another relationship going on or a triangle

393
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: going on, I don't know what you want to call

394
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 1: it is with Tia. And this is a situation that

395
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 1: I'm super intrigued by because it felt like Tia uh

396
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: one on this day with Blake and we we were like,

397
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 1: this was so cute. She was talking about how amazing

398
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: it was the vagina dancing and yeah, that's pg R

399
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: PG thirteen R thing for this. I want to know

400
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: whose idea was to just keep saying that too, and

401
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 1: like how they got over and over over and over

402
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 1: like that, you know, it's it's dancing and we get it.

403
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 1: Girls get it. Yeah, but yeah, it's it's an accurate description,

404
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 1: but like saying it over and over, I'm like, okay,

405
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: get it, got it. So this isn't like a new

406
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: shocking like revelation that she's like bringing out like all

407
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 1: the girls are watching like, oh yeah, we relate. I

408
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: thought this was just like some little like fun things

409
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 1: she was saying. I think they did kind of start

410
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: that expression on her season, but like, I think it's

411
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 1: probably just something that like most girls like, we get okay,

412
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: Well good for her then, So it's dancing around she's

413
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: feeling it um. And then this week we really don't

414
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: get any Blake and we saw them talk about this

415
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: that like they haven't spoken since their date, which is

416
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 1: just weird to me. I don't know what happened to

417
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: cause them to kind of separate, but we see her

418
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: super into James, which is almost the opposite of Blake

419
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways, like no tattoos, um, slip

420
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: back hare, Like, can we talk about the slip back

421
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: hair for a second. It looks good on the beach.

422
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,360
Speaker 1: Everybody's talking about the slip back hair, and like, yes,

423
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: his brows are overdone too. But then he posted something

424
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,199
Speaker 1: on Instagram this week and I really really urge you

425
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: guys to go check it out. He goes, this is

426
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: the reason that I slicked my hair back, and he

427
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: showed us a picture of his natural hair. It's super

428
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: it's swoopy, it's got a beautiful color, and I'm all

429
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 1: about it. And I think the guy looks ten years

430
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: younger and so much hotter. He think he would have

431
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 1: been like a superstar. He would have been such a

432
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 1: more of a standout if he shows out his hair

433
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: like this. So I'm sorry, but if James, if you're listening,

434
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 1: to this, you should definitely start rocking the regular natural

435
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: hair looks good. Yeah, I'm looking at it right now.

436
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 1: He looks good. He does. He has the swoop and

437
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, like he doesn't like it because he

438
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 1: pays that thing down to his head. I can't be

439
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 1: comfortable on the beach, Like at some point you think

440
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,360
Speaker 1: you just wake up and not do his hair. It's

441
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: it's the beach, and I mean it feels like that's

442
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: the one time to let it all hang out, like

443
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: just do what you know, be all natural on the beach. Well,

444
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: so we we do. We see him in Tia connecting,

445
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 1: We see this relationship blossoming, and but it doesn't really

446
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 1: feel like I mean, from my opinion, there's a lot

447
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 1: there and yet only an emotional way for Tea. She says,

448
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: not so much in a physical stance. So what's going

449
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: on here? Ashley explained to me where we're at with

450
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: Tia and what you think is going to happen? Because

451
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: I was really thinking this blake thing was was all

452
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: was all you know, gonna really last the end? Well,

453
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 1: if we keep following the pattern of the past, well

454
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: maybe like Forever Seasons of Paradise, there's gonna be a

455
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: rose ceremony. And then the next day, after the rose ceremony,

456
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 1: Wells is probably gonna get everyone together and say, Okay,

457
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: if you're not in as serious enough relationship or you

458
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: don't see this possibly ending an engagement, you guys should

459
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: probably leave. So I think she's gonna end up giving

460
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 1: Actually think she's gonna end up giving James her rose

461
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: because I think that Blake annoyed her well enough too

462
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 1: for her to like be like, Okay, you're going to

463
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: go against your type right now, and you're gonna go

464
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: for like the good guy and not the bad guy.

465
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: And then I think they're gonna like basically split up

466
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 1: the next day. I'm shocked because I really think this

467
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: was a relationship that I'm just confused by. But boy,

468
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 1: do you think that she was overreacting? No, I don't

469
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: think she was overacting. But I want to know, from

470
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 1: like your point of view, do you think she was

471
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:34,239
Speaker 1: overreacting because she liked the gesture, the extra time, like

472
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:38,400
Speaker 1: the feeling of being courted by James, uh, and then

473
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: she felt that that Blake didn't give her any special time,

474
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: wasn't making an effort. Do you feel like he wasn't

475
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,199
Speaker 1: making an effort, and that she it was warranted for

476
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 1: her to get as annoyed as she did with him.

477
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 1: And then he kept saying like, I care about you

478
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: so much. You're all I care about. You're all I

479
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: care about. And he said it so many times and

480
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,080
Speaker 1: in a way that he just felt like defensive that

481
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: I actually stopped believing. I didn't believe him anymore. I

482
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: really thought like, oh, he just wants to stick around.

483
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: Maybe I here's what I think, uh we I didn't

484
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: see enough of their relationship to make any type of judgment.

485
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: I think it's a two way street. You know. If

486
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: there really the issue is, hey, we haven't talked since

487
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: our date, well why like both that's both of their issues.

488
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 1: That's not just one of their issues, that's both of

489
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 1: their issues. If the argument was, hey, I came up

490
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: to you and you kind of ignored me and I

491
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 1: felt uncomfortable around you, well that's different, but it's both

492
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: of their issues there. I do think he was defensive.

493
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: I it just felt like there was like miscommunication and

494
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: if you really cared about her that much, um, something

495
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: happened to where he didn't like pursue her. Um. But

496
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: you know on the beach and in today's age, like

497
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 1: they both pursue each other and she it felt like

498
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: every scene we saw with her this episode was with

499
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,040
Speaker 1: James and so she was obviously pursuing him, yeah, but

500
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 1: not really pursuing. I think she just liked the fact

501
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,360
Speaker 1: that he was trying to pursue her. And I think

502
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: what she's trying to tell Blake is that she wants

503
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: like an old fashioned type scenario where the guy is

504
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: really pursuing her. It's fair and maybe they just weren't

505
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 1: seeing that. Um. I don't know. If I didn't see

506
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: enough to say, oh this, somebody was in the wrong there.

507
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: It was more confusing to me. Like I said, I

508
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: just don't understand what happened. Well, speaking of confusing, we

509
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 1: did touch on and the next scene in the show

510
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: was with Morris and Riley, and it was confusing up

511
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 1: to this point because we thought they had something very strong.

512
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 1: It felt like it was falling apart. And this is

513
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: where we see Riley, as we mentioned earlier, open up,

514
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: and I felt like, as a viewer, their relationship took

515
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: another step forward. Um. That's why I'm still confused by

516
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 1: the sneak peak where we see her kissing somebody else.

517
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: I don't know where that came from or if it

518
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 1: will ever come up, but I do feel like after

519
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: this scene, I'm thinking they're in a good place again,

520
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: like this is this is a strong relationship one thousand percent.

521
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: I only feel good about it. So again, we have

522
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: to note it that we saw a sneak that she's

523
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 1: kissing somebody else where does that happen? And how anxious

524
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: do I need to be waiting for the next week

525
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 1: to see when that happens. I'm telling you, they don't

526
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: give us this part. We are robbed. We have to

527
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,640
Speaker 1: then that'll be our first question whenever we do interview

528
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 1: Riley or Marissa. It's a big deal. Okay, should we

529
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: talk about the storm and how stupid that storyline was?

530
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:31,719
Speaker 1: It was weird. Yeah, I don't know if we need

531
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: to talk about it right like so, but I think

532
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: we have to talk about it because it was so weird,

533
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: Like they make a big spectacle of it. Our friends,

534
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: our friends Louie and Peter come in and it's very exciting.

535
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: When you see the producers on TV. They have the

536
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: are showing the whole camera crew and everybody together and

537
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: they make it seem like it's so serious, like there's

538
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: an actual hurricane, like a tornado. It is just gonna

539
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: like show up on the beach, and then they pack up,

540
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: they get out, and then all of a sudden, the

541
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 1: next scene is them walking back in. They didn't say

542
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: anything about what happened that night. Could they at least

543
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: could at least just gotten one little interview clip where

544
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: somebody said, oh, we went to the hotel for the night.

545
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: The girls and the guy say it separated. Um, we

546
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: had a nice night of like being able to get

547
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: a normal shower and sleep in air conditioning. Yeah, it

548
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: would have been good because it felt the gas. Yeah,

549
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: it was a very weird transition. But I don't know

550
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: if you caught picked up on this, but we do

551
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: see with Ivan, um he is talking about how something

552
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: happened over you know, their overnight, and so it would

553
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: have been nice to make that more of a storyline

554
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: because I feel like I almost forgot that storm even

555
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: happened during this, like until you just brought it up.

556
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: But now I feel like, you know, in the next

557
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: episode it is going to play a part in a relationship.

558
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: It's the only reason I could think that they kept

559
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: that in is my best gas is that he ends

560
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: up talking to Chelsea. Oh so we just need to

561
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: be there, We at least need to have context that, hey,

562
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: they left the beach because it's going to be such

563
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: a storyline that Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, fair enough, that

564
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: makes sense. Well, so I guess the last big thing

565
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: to talk about is Aaron and Chelsea and Ivan and

566
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: that in that whole love triangle that happens during the

567
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: cocktail party. Yeah yeah, I mean, um, Aaron, you know

568
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: Aaron Is. I don't know Aaron. Um, Aaron. He's always

569
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 1: so angry, but he's always so mad. Um, He's always

570
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 1: so mad, and he's mad at everybody. And uh, it's

571
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: at some point like we have to like call it

572
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 1: out right, I mean it loves confrontation. Yeah, it's happened

573
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: how many times during this season already four three, four

574
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: times and his bachelor seas so at some point we

575
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 1: have to say, like, this dude just likes to confront

576
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: people and he feels like it's anything to do. Well,

577
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: he does it with Ivan, Ivan doesn't step down from it.

578
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: Is it weird that Ivan walks over to the couch

579
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: and starts kiss with Chelsea. Maybe maybe not, especially if

580
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: there is some storyline here about their time together during

581
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 1: the storm, then it may sense on why they you know,

582
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 1: have this connection. Uh, and maybe Aaron's just catching up

583
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: with it. But again to me, and and you're teaching

584
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: you've taught me this actually during the season, it's paradise.

585
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: This stuff happens. Like you can't get mad. I mean,

586
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: you can get hurt, you can be like, it can

587
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: feel hard and awkward, but you can't get like visibly

588
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: angry because you're kind of agreeing to it. Ben, you

589
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: just put it perfectly. He could be super angry invent

590
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: to James, but him being like, Yo, you stole my girl,

591
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: blah blah blah, like she wasn't your girl yesterday when

592
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 1: she went on a date with another guy. Like come on,

593
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,719
Speaker 1: I don't know. Aaron just like his attitude and like

594
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: the Brook everything's like yo, dude, man, Like it's just

595
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: like so old for me. I'm just like, even if

596
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: it maybe looks like Ivan is from out maybe looking

597
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: for a rose, I don't think there's much of difference

598
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: with Aaron. Uh, I don't. I'm I'm team Ivan in

599
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: this situation. This is totally quote legal. Yeah, what happens

600
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: all day long. Well that's why I'm confused. Like, you know,

601
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: you get angry, he's angry, he's mad, he's like he's

602
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: almost getting entering into a physical altercation because of this.

603
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 1: And what you've told me and what you've taught all

604
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 1: of us as we listen and follow from you, is like,

605
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: this stuff just happens in Paradise. You have to be

606
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: some level okay with it. It's the weirdness of it all,

607
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 1: especially if you know the two of you haven't had

608
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 1: a conversation that says, hey, this is it. We're not

609
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: going to date other people. Uh, you know, I could

610
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: see him being like upset, but they don't. They're not

611
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: on that level, and so there's nothing to be upset about.

612
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: But it is how this ends, um. And then we

613
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 1: get the steep for next week or for the rest

614
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 1: of the season, and in two weeks we see people

615
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: get engaged. We see Kaylin and Dean show up. Um Becca,

616
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: who we haven't seen a lot from yet on Paradise,

617
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: is having these internal battle Riley asked if um if

618
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: Merissa wants this thing to continue, which as a storyline,

619
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: as we've mentioned, we're following and Kenny is packing his bag.

620
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: So Ashley, I ask you, does anybody leave here together?

621
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: Does anybody get engaged? Actually? Or is this thing just

622
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: I mean, for the first time, has it ever happened

623
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 1: where nobody's gotten engaged in Paradise? No, that's never happened.

624
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: Could we Could it happened this season? Did that happen?

625
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: I think it happened during the Korean season. You know

626
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: that this season that everything is shut down for a

627
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 1: bit because Raven and Adam and then Derek got engaged

628
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: that season, and Taylor got inkage that season, but it

629
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:46,479
Speaker 1: wasn't until after the fact, but they got like an

630
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: excuse for that because they weren't there the entire time

631
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 1: and there was like an abbreviated season. I think people

632
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: are going to get engaged. I feel like Joe and

633
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:58,239
Speaker 1: Serina are very steady. But I'm still like, even though

634
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: I've been through the process and like I have Tanner,

635
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: who you know, have been married for it's gonna be

636
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: six years in January, it's already six years, you know,

637
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 1: I think it's already six years. I still think it's

638
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 1: so hard to believe, to be like, I'm going to

639
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: put a ring on the finger. Now after this, because

640
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: it's only three and a half weeks, I mean during

641
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: the Bachelor and Bachelor Wrette, I know you have a

642
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 1: longer it's like a longer stretch of time, but you

643
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,760
Speaker 1: actually have less one on one time. But it's still

644
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 1: like mind boggling that these people are saying, I'm falling

645
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 1: in love with you right now, and then next week

646
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: they're going to get engaged. It's it is wild. It's

647
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 1: been crazy to watch. I think Jade Tanner ha been

648
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 1: married for five years now. It was January two, sixteen

649
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 1: that they got married. Yeah. Yeah, so, um, well, actually

650
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,919
Speaker 1: when we come back, we're have Tatia Adams on uh

651
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: to just kind of talk about everything good in Bachelor Nation.

652
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,359
Speaker 1: She's in the middle of it all right now, and

653
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 1: to also talk about the I heart fest that she

654
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 1: just got back from. Uh it sounds like an incredible time.

655
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:07,439
Speaker 1: Our team behind the scenes here, uh went as well, Uh,

656
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: this is the first year that actually you and I

657
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: have missed in what four years? Five years? And it

658
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: was weird to not be there, but we've missed it.

659
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 1: You can't wait to get back, Yes, we did. All right, Well,

660
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 1: let's get all the dirty deets from her right after this. Hi, guys,

661
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: I want to get this started with one thing and

662
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 1: one thing only. Um East and one of our producers said, Hey,

663
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 1: he wasn't exactly with you at the I Heart Festival,

664
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 1: but he was out in the pit area. You were there,

665
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: and you came up and said hi to him, which

666
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: made him look really cool and it made him feel

667
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: very special, and so it makes us feel very special

668
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: right there he is, Yeah, that's him, beautiful man, he is,

669
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: he is. He looked great at My Heart Festival. I

670
00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: know I saw you because I had him seeming in people.

671
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: I saw Danielle. But um, it was different not having

672
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 1: you guys all with me this year. So it was fun.

673
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:08,839
Speaker 1: Though we missed. We missed it. I know, Tasia. How

674
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 1: is the weekend? How is Vegas anything to report besides

675
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 1: the Eastern running. Yeah, honestly, I honestly think that I

676
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: Heart has the best music festivals. I feel like the

677
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:26,320
Speaker 1: performances are always great, the energy is amazing. Um and

678
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 1: you know, you know what this was. It was the

679
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: first public appearance Sac and I made together, which is

680
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 1: so weird to um realized, just because the COVID like

681
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 1: we hadn't gone to anything together, so like MTV, he

682
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: actually had like a release thing that weekend, so he

683
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: wasn't able to go with me. But like when I

684
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: did a m as, we were still like in hiding

685
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 1: and then everything else, we've kind of had like a

686
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 1: limited capacity issue because of COVID. So this is our

687
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 1: first time we've like flown somewhere for an event and

688
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 1: got to like hang out and enjoy it, which is

689
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 1: so bizarre. Did it feel sparkly, Yes, it was. Actually

690
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 1: it was a lot of fun. We danced the night away,

691
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 1: especially on Friday night, and it was it was so funny.

692
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 1: I was like bopping there and I was like, I

693
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 1: don't think I've ever had so much fun out of

694
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 1: content before it. But I think it's just because we

695
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:16,280
Speaker 1: haven't had any music musical festivals or like a concert

696
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 1: in two years. Yeah, that's interesting because too, Like that

697
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: was Jessica and I first like event together UM really

698
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:27,400
Speaker 1: and we had a great time. Like I'm I'll be honest,

699
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,479
Speaker 1: like sometimes these things aren't that tight, like I don't

700
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 1: love them like it feels, you know, but the I

701
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 1: heart like fest was a blast for us to be

702
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 1: at UM and one of the cool parts too, is

703
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 1: because like when we went what was that she's two

704
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: years ago now, Jessica still didn't really this is her

705
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: first interview that she's ever done on like camera, was

706
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 1: at that festival, and she was so nervous and so confused,

707
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 1: and she also didn't understand like My World at all,

708
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 1: Like she hadn't watched the season, she didn't wasn't a

709
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:55,839
Speaker 1: big fan of the show. She she she was so

710
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: oblivious to it all. And we're back in the green

711
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: room and then you have all those like huge names

712
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: that go back there and grab a snack or a

713
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 1: drink before they perform or before they present. So I

714
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: gotta ask you, was there anybody this year that you

715
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 1: saw that you kind of like got star struck by?

716
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: Because it happens to me every time I'm at my

717
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: heart fest with without a doubt. I mean honestly, Billie

718
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,320
Speaker 1: Eilish just like made me kind of like stop in

719
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 1: my trucks. Um. I just think she's so beyond talented

720
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 1: the fact that she is nineteen years old and you

721
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 1: would have never guessed that is mind blowing to me. Um.

722
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 1: And also Kaleid As I presented to Kaleed, he is

723
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,360
Speaker 1: someone that I have kind of followed since the very beginning.

724
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,439
Speaker 1: I remember when his first single came out. I don't

725
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 1: even know how I found him, but I have kind

726
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:43,359
Speaker 1: of just followed his success, and that was like, really, um,

727
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,800
Speaker 1: cereal should be presenting to him, but um, who else?

728
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:50,240
Speaker 1: Kind of just like shocked me and trying to think,

729
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: you present who did you present with? I presented with

730
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 1: Big Boy UM and young Blood and Big Boys a

731
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 1: crazy per since to have by my side because growing up,

732
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 1: like my dad listened to a Big Boy UM on

733
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:08,280
Speaker 1: the radio every single morning taking me to school, So

734
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: I've grown up with his voice, like you know, in

735
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 1: the car and like my dad talking about him. So

736
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 1: the fact that he was right there next to me

737
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 1: UM was really cool. But young Blood is actually a

738
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 1: person that I just kind of discovered. I had no

739
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 1: idea who he was, but the impact that he's made

740
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: on his community UM has been incredible. So he's definitely

741
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:30,799
Speaker 1: something I kind of want to start following a little

742
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 1: bit more. I'm super intrigued by young Blood. I've I've

743
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 1: known of young Blood, followed young Blood story for a while,

744
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 1: and like he's one of those people that like just

745
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 1: captivates me like I could go on and on and

746
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 1: read more and more stories about him, just because like

747
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:49,839
Speaker 1: he's so different than me, so different. So explain, like

748
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 1: if you can help me out, Like what was your

749
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 1: interaction with the young Blood? Like, truthfully, it was pretty minimal. Again,

750
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: there's still a lot of COVID stuff. But he just

751
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:03,760
Speaker 1: walked up to me, was like, hello, love, and he's like,

752
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 1: you like dashing today? How are you doing? I was

753
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: just like, oh my god, I don't know what you're saying, really,

754
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 1: but I just you know, anybody with an accent, they

755
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 1: just like are ten times more intriguing, you know what

756
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 1: I mean. But he had just come offset I guess

757
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 1: he like had had a concert maybe like three hours

758
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,799
Speaker 1: prior um in Atlanta, and it was just I don't know,

759
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:27,320
Speaker 1: he's just very busy, but he just seemed very sweet,

760
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 1: very kind. But it was more to the people that

761
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 1: were surrounding him that kind of had told me a

762
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: little bit more about him, and um, just I'm just

763
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 1: fascinated by him. So and Big Boy also talked so

764
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:39,919
Speaker 1: highly of him, and he's just like, it's so great

765
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: the work that you're doing. And it's just I don't know,

766
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 1: he just he kind of slip me off my feet.

767
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 1: I need to submerge myself. But you also have to realize, like,

768
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 1: I've also been kind of in this weird bubble for

769
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,799
Speaker 1: the last year, truthfully, like where you go away for

770
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: a couple of months at a time where you don't

771
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: really listen to music. So I haven't really been introduced

772
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: to a lot of like the mainstream. Let's talk about that.

773
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 1: I know, we want to chat about this bubble bubble.

774
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 1: I have to just like cut to the chase because

775
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 1: we know the rumors that Clayton at eckerd Um is

776
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: going to be the next Bachelor. You know, there are

777
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: pictures of him filming in his hometown, and we know

778
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 1: that he's part of this Michelle of Michelle's cast. I

779
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 1: got to know if he stood out to you immediately

780
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 1: the way that he supposedly stood out to the producers. Um.

781
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 1: I do remember Clayton's entrance, and I do remember like

782
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 1: there was something about him. Um, he had a great presence.

783
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,319
Speaker 1: And so I mean because Caitlin and I we kind

784
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 1: of hide in the bushes. Um, we obviously don't go

785
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 1: very far away from our bachelor. So we watch everybody

786
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 1: and we obviously try to make those first impression like

787
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 1: reactions and try to like figure out who is on

788
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:58,879
Speaker 1: our top five and whatnot. But he was definitely someone

789
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 1: that I do remember night one and then um, as

790
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:03,839
Speaker 1: the season kind of gone on, he was I don't know,

791
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: he's really cool. I don't I don't hang out too

792
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:08,320
Speaker 1: much with the guys. It's kind of like me, Michelle

793
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:12,239
Speaker 1: and Caitlin. So so let's talk about Michelle for a second. Also,

794
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 1: I want to hear from you, like, um, this is

795
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:17,919
Speaker 1: your your second time hosting a season. Did it feel

796
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 1: different that Night one feel different than to you than

797
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 1: it did with Katie? Like were you more nervous, less nervous?

798
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 1: Was it as exciting? Like walk us through what you

799
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 1: were feeling. I'm super intrigued. As the host for the

800
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 1: second Girl Round, Well, this season was a little different

801
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 1: because now I kind of do have that title as host.

802
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,319
Speaker 1: Before we were kind of mentors, and so I don't

803
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 1: really think any of us knew what that really meant.

804
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 1: And so I remember Caitly and I were standing on

805
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:47,279
Speaker 1: that platform on Katie season being like, so like what

806
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,800
Speaker 1: do we do? Like we have no idea what was

807
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:51,799
Speaker 1: going on? And the producers had no idea either, and

808
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 1: so we kind of just made it our own. This year,

809
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 1: it was kind of more of like, um, well we're

810
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:01,319
Speaker 1: back at it, let's introduce the guys, let's introduce our girl,

811
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: and we kind of had a little bit more rhythm

812
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 1: if you will. Um. But also we kind of just

813
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:11,279
Speaker 1: let Michelle just do her thing. Um. She kind of

814
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 1: came to us when she wanted to, as opposed to

815
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 1: like us checking in every like you know, fifteen minutes. Um.

816
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:21,880
Speaker 1: But I have to say she is such an amazing,

817
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 1: like level headed, well rounded individual that she didn't need

818
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: too much help. M I wonder why that is? Like, well,

819
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 1: I mean and then Ashley, I'll stop talking because I

820
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 1: know you have a lot of questions too, but like why,

821
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 1: like what do you think that is? And are you

822
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: starting to see now two seasons in like the difference

823
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 1: in leads and the difference in kind of the the

824
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:47,760
Speaker 1: vibe of the show based on the lead, where like Katie,

825
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 1: it felt like you guys were around a lot. There

826
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,319
Speaker 1: was like I don't want to say any closer or

827
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 1: less close. We haven't seen Michelle's season with you, but

828
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:56,319
Speaker 1: like you're around a lot, So what do you think

829
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 1: it was that made you this season kind of say, hey,

830
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 1: she doesn't need us as much. You know, I think that, Um, well,

831
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 1: there's a couple of factors. Number one covid um that

832
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 1: was kind of different than we were like in just

833
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:13,920
Speaker 1: a bubble, we couldn't really have any like outside talent

834
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 1: come in. This year, we might have a little or

835
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: this season we might have a little bit more of that,

836
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 1: which kind of like you know, made us kind of

837
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 1: take a back seat and let us let her have

838
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 1: fun on her dates. But truthfully, I also think it's

839
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 1: just like how comfortable the lead is and and and

840
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 1: how much help did they want or um, if they

841
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 1: are struggling, if there's drama with the guys, that also

842
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 1: plays a huge part um, and sometimes people just want

843
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 1: to talk things through. I mean, I know for me

844
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:46,919
Speaker 1: when I was bachelorette, I really valued that girl time

845
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:49,280
Speaker 1: when I did get it, and I think Katie did too.

846
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 1: But I think, um, with Michelle, she was just she

847
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:57,319
Speaker 1: kind of just knew what she wanted. Like she she's

848
00:44:57,320 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 1: also a teacher, you know what I mean. So she's

849
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:04,319
Speaker 1: pretty again level headed and she um pretty realistic. She

850
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:07,240
Speaker 1: doesn't really kind of like she takes you for face value,

851
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:09,359
Speaker 1: she doesn't really read too into it. She also kind

852
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:11,800
Speaker 1: of weeds out who's kind of a drama starter, and

853
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 1: not because she's good at doing that. Um, I don't know,

854
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 1: she was kind of just really independent. We saw Katie

855
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 1: just eliminate guys the second that they seemed like drama starters.

856
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 1: Does that happen again this season or or do we

857
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:28,920
Speaker 1: get more like the guys that like kind of like

858
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 1: last week after week and we're not sure why. I

859
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 1: think if this group of guys are a little bit

860
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 1: and more um, they're a little bit older, but also

861
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:40,880
Speaker 1: at the same time, there's drama starting day one, but

862
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:45,839
Speaker 1: Michelle does not play like okay, they'll see the door

863
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:49,360
Speaker 1: pretty quickly. So um, and I just think that the

864
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:52,759
Speaker 1: guys really respected her too, and so like when she

865
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 1: did kind of confront the first situation or two, like

866
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 1: they kind of kneel like, oh shoot, she means business

867
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 1: and she's not playing around. So um, it's let's just

868
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 1: say night one. It's going to get very interesting. The

869
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 1: guys think that they have a little wiggle room and

870
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 1: they don't. I love it. I can't wait to see

871
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 1: like a teacher as a lead I'm sure there's been

872
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 1: a teacher as a lead before. I can't remember, but like,

873
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:21,880
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I just feel like a teacher.

874
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 1: Like they're they're patient, they do they read through the

875
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:29,439
Speaker 1: BS well, they don't like chaos doesn't really bother them,

876
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 1: Like it doesn't like fluster them. And then like, especially

877
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 1: as the lead and knowing your role, I just have

878
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:39,360
Speaker 1: this feeling that Michelle will put like these dudes in

879
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 1: their place and the like, I think it's awesome. I

880
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 1: think it's I think it's gonna be hilarious. Now, Tasia,

881
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 1: this Michelle season has a two episode of The Bachelor. Okay,

882
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 1: so it's huge. Um, and you know you're your Bachelor

883
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,839
Speaker 1: franchise story is a little different than some You're you're

884
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 1: on a season. Um, you know Paradise, took some time off,

885
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 1: came back as a bachelorette. Now you've been the now

886
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:10,359
Speaker 1: you're the host. You were a mentor, which I don't

887
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 1: know what the difference is. I don't know if anybody does,

888
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:16,440
Speaker 1: but I mean, what is this meant to you? Like

889
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:18,359
Speaker 1: overlast I don't know how many years of your life

890
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 1: now four years of your life, three years of your life,

891
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 1: Like what is this franchise meant to you? What is

892
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 1: The Bachelorette meant to you? Truthfully, I feel like, UM,

893
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 1: the franchise as a whole has really made me grow

894
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:36,400
Speaker 1: up and really, um become the woman that I am today.

895
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 1: I feel like I found a lot of my confidence.

896
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 1: I feel like, um, I have found a sense of

897
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:47,319
Speaker 1: what I finally is important in my life and like

898
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 1: how I want to impact the world. I always knew

899
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:52,359
Speaker 1: that I wanted to, but um, I feel like it's

900
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:54,319
Speaker 1: my life before the Bachelor, Like I was kind of

901
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:56,919
Speaker 1: like floating around and I didn't really I was gonna

902
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:58,759
Speaker 1: go back to school to be a p A because

903
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 1: I had just gotten out of a barious relationships. So

904
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 1: it was kind of like I didn't really know what

905
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 1: to call my own. I didn't really have anything that

906
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:07,759
Speaker 1: was me. And now I think this really pushes you

907
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 1: to be you and authentically you, and if you're somebody

908
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:13,839
Speaker 1: else you can see it well either on the screen

909
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:15,479
Speaker 1: or people are going to tell you you're being fake,

910
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So it's really just made

911
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 1: me kind of grow into the woman that I am

912
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:25,439
Speaker 1: and um, but also being a host now I hope

913
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:29,760
Speaker 1: to have an impact on the diversity of the cast,

914
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 1: but also the longevity of these relationships. If I can,

915
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:37,359
Speaker 1: you know, kind of breathe in some advice to any

916
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:40,840
Speaker 1: of these, um, newer couples or any of the guys

917
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 1: looking for love and the girls looking for love. I

918
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 1: feel like it's just there's a lot of advice that

919
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 1: can be given, especially after you leave Okay, so perfect transition,

920
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 1: and to the advice that you would give your old

921
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:59,719
Speaker 1: friend Brendan for what you went through with it Paradise,

922
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 1: and if you were shocked by this behavior, because it

923
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:04,480
Speaker 1: just seemed like such a one eight from the Brennan

924
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:09,319
Speaker 1: that we saw on your season. Oh God, we're gonna

925
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 1: get into this Okay. So, um was I shocked? I

926
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 1: mean I think everyone was shocked. I don't think anybody

927
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:20,759
Speaker 1: could have ever predicted that somebody was gonna act that

928
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 1: way in Paradise. I'm not gonna really even give any

929
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 1: more adjectives to that, but um, I did have a

930
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 1: kind of a gut feeling in the middle of my season.

931
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:33,840
Speaker 1: I've never really kind of like said this, but um,

932
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 1: there is something that was a little off, and there

933
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 1: was something that I kind of felt like he was

934
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:41,399
Speaker 1: kind of pulling away once he got kind of serious. Um,

935
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:43,360
Speaker 1: there were some dates where he was just like I

936
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 1: would say, like are you excited to meet my family?

937
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 1: And there was a lot of detective date where it

938
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 1: said like are you excited to introduce Tasia to your family?

939
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 1: He said something and the live detective said that was

940
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 1: actually false and so it's like there was like little

941
00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 1: red flags that I started to see and it just

942
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 1: something felt off. And um, I will say that I

943
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:09,239
Speaker 1: felt like I was being told one thing and then

944
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:15,319
Speaker 1: the fillings were different. Um. So that's my experience with him.

945
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 1: Was I shocked to see his actions absolute I I

946
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 1: would have never thought that that would have happened or

947
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 1: he was when that person. But I have to say

948
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:29,279
Speaker 1: I feel like, um, I'm glad everything worked out the

949
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 1: way that it did for myself. And UM, I wasn't

950
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 1: on you know, the receiving end of anything like that.

951
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:40,400
Speaker 1: But I don't know. It's a messy out there in Paradise,

952
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 1: you know it is. And maybe every season they need

953
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 1: to have a light detector day. I forgot about that. That

954
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 1: That was a good point because it really brought up

955
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 1: some like stuff that now we're seeing to be true,

956
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:51,840
Speaker 1: Like then you watch you like whatever, I think, we

957
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:53,600
Speaker 1: don't really know what this stuff means. Now you're seeing

958
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 1: the behavior of some of those people and you're like,

959
00:50:55,239 --> 00:51:01,200
Speaker 1: oh no, like that worked, like seeing they're like these

960
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 1: silly dates and whatnot. But I remember like that and

961
00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 1: I felt like something was just a little off. And

962
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if it aired in my interview at

963
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:12,040
Speaker 1: that time, but like I definitely said it. I said

964
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:15,320
Speaker 1: there was something kind of off. Today. I feel like

965
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:17,919
Speaker 1: we've hit a kind of a climax and it's there's

966
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:20,399
Speaker 1: something preventing us from moving forward. And I don't know

967
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 1: exactly what that was. It must have hurt you because

968
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 1: you're tight with Natasha, who's your co host there um,

969
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:31,319
Speaker 1: and I mean she has just risen above all the grossness,

970
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 1: which we love for her. But I also want to

971
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:35,960
Speaker 1: talk about your other co host in your podcast, which

972
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:39,800
Speaker 1: is Joe, and what he's gone through now with Kendall

973
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:42,839
Speaker 1: and and how you feel about like that kind of

974
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 1: love triangle ish, like do you you think Kendall should

975
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 1: have showed up? Do you feel like Serena is a

976
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 1: better fit for him? You know, I have to say this, Um,

977
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:58,880
Speaker 1: if I were Kendall, I would have I would have

978
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 1: always regretted not trying, you know, at the end of

979
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 1: the day. Um. But I also think that Joe navigated

980
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 1: it very well. I think that he was very kind

981
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:10,840
Speaker 1: and very sweet, even when Kendall would break it down

982
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:13,799
Speaker 1: to him. Um, he was very comforting to her. But

983
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:15,759
Speaker 1: he was also very honest. And I think that Joe

984
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:18,360
Speaker 1: gave himself a chance. I think it. Joe even said, like,

985
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:21,359
Speaker 1: if Kendall would have approached him before Paradise, that's what

986
00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:25,880
Speaker 1: I was, was like the fatal like I just like

987
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:29,440
Speaker 1: now I just watch in frustration, knowing it could have

988
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:33,960
Speaker 1: been different for her. But see, that's the thing though, Uh,

989
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 1: that's why you have to be honest with yourself and

990
00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:38,840
Speaker 1: like not play games with things. If you want to

991
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 1: be with someone, go freaking tell them. I don't understand

992
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:45,200
Speaker 1: why people wait work it out, like and she and

993
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:46,799
Speaker 1: it was so sad, she said in the car, like

994
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:51,440
Speaker 1: Joe's my person. But Joe was also really happy with Serena,

995
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:54,920
Speaker 1: So like I was, I can't fault him for falling

996
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:57,640
Speaker 1: his heart. What's meant to people be in this situation?

997
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:00,360
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, like if he and Arena

998
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:02,879
Speaker 1: are meant to you, know live the rest of their

999
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:05,920
Speaker 1: lives together. It was this was meant to be. And

1000
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:08,759
Speaker 1: if and if they don't, then maybe Joe will think

1001
00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:12,160
Speaker 1: about Kendall down the road. Oh boy, I have no idea,

1002
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:20,319
Speaker 1: but on TV, he say, should we know you're busy.

1003
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:22,520
Speaker 1: We appreciate you. We're gonna let you go here. Thank

1010
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:40,719
Speaker 1: start this out by asking you a question that I

Speaker 1: That's right, Yeah, I forgot. Okay, Well, anyways, I'm still

1015
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:52,520
Speaker 1: gonna ask you because I want to talk it through

1016
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 1: with you. We have no clue. The next host of

1017
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:57,440
Speaker 1: the Bachelor is right is Tastia and Kaitlin. The host

1018
00:53:57,560 --> 00:54:03,360
Speaker 1: of this of this upcoming Bachelor season UM is Jesse Palmer,

1019
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:07,320
Speaker 1: like we just recently had Like I've heard that there's

1020
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:10,439
Speaker 1: some rumors there about the Jesse Palmer and actually I'd

1021
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 1: be pretty down with that choice. So we'll see. They've

1022
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:15,239
Speaker 1: used them for a few shows now at this point though,

1023
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:20,120
Speaker 1: like they love Jesse Palmer. Yeah, I mean think about it.

1024
00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 1: Didn't like this n z K used him for that

1025
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:24,960
Speaker 1: one weird dating show that came out a few years ago.

1026
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 1: Oh that's right, and now the Ultimate Surfer. I just

1027
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:31,719
Speaker 1: feel like it's kind of a build up. Yeah, it would.

1028
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:35,279
Speaker 1: I mean, it feels like a build up. I I

1029
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:38,279
Speaker 1: wouldn't be shocked, obviously, he was an incredible guest a

1030
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:42,000
Speaker 1: few weeks ago to us, Um, super nice guy. Not

1031
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:45,239
Speaker 1: gonna be shocked, just a little surprised, Like he wasn't

1032
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:49,000
Speaker 1: a he wasn't even in my top five people that

1033
00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:51,880
Speaker 1: I thought would get the gig um he was in.

1034
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 1: I've been thinking about him. Yeah, OK, fair enough. I

1035
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:56,799
Speaker 1: mean I'm thinking about him. But I definitely thought they

1036
00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 1: were going to go with more of a splashy celebrity

1037
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 1: unless of a Bachelor alum slash host that like you know, host,

1038
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:08,680
Speaker 1: like a traditional host. Um, So we don't know yet,

1039
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:12,080
Speaker 1: nothing confirmed, just the rumors. Something looking too. I'm just

1040
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:15,359
Speaker 1: surprised because they've obviously kind of started filming, uh this

1041
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:18,279
Speaker 1: upcoming season, and uh, well, you would think the host

1042
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 1: would have been leaked or announced at this point. I

1043
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:21,920
Speaker 1: don't know why it wouldn't. It's just super weird that

1044
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 1: it's not. Well, heways, Okay, let's dive into it. The

1045
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 1: Bachelor producers chose Clayton. If you haven't heard this, uh

1046
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:32,920
Speaker 1: Etchard as the lead. He stood out right off the bat.

1047
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:36,920
Speaker 1: This is according to US Weekly. Uh so he's the

1048
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:41,400
Speaker 1: next Bachelor. He's on Michelle's season, Ashley, what made him

1049
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:44,160
Speaker 1: stand out? Like? It feels like a very quick choice,

1050
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:45,840
Speaker 1: And obviously I'm looking at a picture of him with

1051
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:48,960
Speaker 1: his shirt off right now. I think something stand out

1052
00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:53,040
Speaker 1: um from that picture in his muscles. His muscles are massive,

1053
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:56,319
Speaker 1: but like everybody in the show's muscles are massive. So

1054
00:55:56,560 --> 00:55:59,399
Speaker 1: what do they say stood out? Okay, so he's twenty eight,

1055
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:02,600
Speaker 1: he's from his lurry. Producers say that he was the

1056
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:05,959
Speaker 1: best fit for the role. They wanted to switch things

1057
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:08,160
Speaker 1: up and go with someone new and someone who hasn't

1058
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:11,120
Speaker 1: been in the spotlight yet. Okay, that's kind of interesting.

1059
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:14,360
Speaker 1: But we still don't really have a lot of information

1060
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:20,360
Speaker 1: as to why him. Why not somebody else from that season?

1061
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:25,520
Speaker 1: Why not from so we'll see. We I wish I

1062
00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:28,279
Speaker 1: could tell you more, I really do. Um. We know

1063
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:31,200
Speaker 1: that he played Division one football and then he played

1064
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 1: tight end. Uh. He attended MISSOO and oh he was

1065
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:39,400
Speaker 1: signed to the Seattle Seahawks as a free agent for

1066
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:42,600
Speaker 1: a little while. He's a big family guy. He's a

1067
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:49,160
Speaker 1: big fan of the outdoors and obviously exercising, obviously exercising. Well.

1068
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:51,520
Speaker 1: He is the next Bachelor, is to you know, as

1069
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:55,280
Speaker 1: far as we know, there hasn't been officially announced. Uh uh,

1070
00:56:55,320 --> 00:57:00,839
Speaker 1: but you know it's pretty highly like speculated, considering he's

1071
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:03,840
Speaker 1: been seen filming. The show themselves haven't came out and

1072
00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:08,560
Speaker 1: said anything against it. But here's an interesting headline. I've

1073
00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:11,360
Speaker 1: been able to build a friendship with Michael, a great

1074
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:14,040
Speaker 1: guy since his time on the show. He's been great

1075
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:16,240
Speaker 1: to me. Um, just gotten to talk a lot about

1076
00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:19,960
Speaker 1: his life and not a lot about the show. Um,

1077
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:22,240
Speaker 1: but this headline reads this and and I kind of

1078
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:26,880
Speaker 1: knew this about it. Bachelor lum Michael A says he

1079
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:28,600
Speaker 1: doesn't know why he wasn't picked to be the twenty

1080
00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:31,760
Speaker 1: six Bachelor Succording to US Weekly, this is a shocking

1081
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:33,320
Speaker 1: headline to me, Ashley, because I felt like he was

1082
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:37,760
Speaker 1: a very clear, clear choice. Wait, I'm very much confused now.

1083
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:41,560
Speaker 1: Maybe I haven't read or listened to enough of his

1084
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 1: interviews to fully comprehend. However, I thought that it was

1085
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:49,040
Speaker 1: offered to him and that he declined. Am I completely wrong?

1086
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:53,200
Speaker 1: As far as I understand, That's not the full way

1087
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:56,840
Speaker 1: it went. It was offered, it was talked about. Um,

1088
00:57:56,920 --> 00:57:58,480
Speaker 1: he had a lot of things with his son that

1089
00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 1: he wanted to work through and then uh then he

1090
00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:04,160
Speaker 1: kind of I think, was like, hey, uh let's talk

1091
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:06,960
Speaker 1: through this, and then it was too late. Like that's

1092
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:10,400
Speaker 1: how I understood him hanging. Well, now, I don't know

1093
00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:12,880
Speaker 1: that to be like, I'm not quoting him. This isn't

1094
00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:15,480
Speaker 1: coming from Michael. I don't know the story now, but

1095
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:19,360
Speaker 1: I mean, if he's saying publicly that he's surprised, I

1096
00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 1: know enough about this. Um, the whole thing behind the

1097
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:27,760
Speaker 1: scenes says go, yeah, something happened, where like he shocked

1098
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:32,120
Speaker 1: because it was never like it never felt like it

1099
00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:33,919
Speaker 1: was gonna work out or something. I don't know, it's

1100
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:36,600
Speaker 1: weird though, that they wouldn't go a head like been

1101
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:39,040
Speaker 1: over backwards to make him the bachelor if he's wanting it,

1102
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:44,120
Speaker 1: I know. These are the quotes we have from him.

1103
00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:49,919
Speaker 1: He was asked this week, Uh, why he isn't the Bachelor,

1104
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:53,919
Speaker 1: and he just said, I don't know. He said, I'm

1105
00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:55,720
Speaker 1: sure the next one is going to be a really

1106
00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:59,960
Speaker 1: good one. And then he's also said there have been

1107
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:01,640
Speaker 1: This is a couple of weeks ago. He said, there

1108
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 1: have been discussions, no decision has been made. Apparently now

1109
00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:09,120
Speaker 1: the decision has been made. He says he had reservations

1110
00:59:09,280 --> 00:59:13,320
Speaker 1: being a contestant. Those reservations are heightened even more when

1111
00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:17,360
Speaker 1: you're the lead. Obviously there's like a lot of shiny

1112
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:20,920
Speaker 1: things that come to come with being the lead, but

1113
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:25,400
Speaker 1: sometimes not everything that shimmers is gold. My son, my lifestyle,

1114
00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:28,760
Speaker 1: What do I what do I want after this? Uh?

1115
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:32,960
Speaker 1: Maybe am I ready to introduce my son to random

1116
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:36,400
Speaker 1: people that he doesn't know? Maybe I don't know. Uh.

1117
00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:38,880
Speaker 1: He did say that if he was a bachelor on

1118
00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 1: his son, James would be there. They've made accommodations for

1119
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:46,960
Speaker 1: people in the past. Um, he's referring to Jason Mesnick

1120
00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:49,960
Speaker 1: and Emily Maynard. He said, I'm thirty seven. I'm not

1121
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:52,720
Speaker 1: looking to date around and do all that. Casting is

1122
00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:56,640
Speaker 1: totally different, location is different. Um, that is when they

1123
00:59:56,640 --> 01:00:01,040
Speaker 1: accommodate the child usually, so I mean, that's in my

1124
01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:03,560
Speaker 1: personal opinion, it sucks. I wanted to see Michael Ay

1125
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:06,480
Speaker 1: as the bachelor. I wanted to see them accommodate the

1126
01:00:06,520 --> 01:00:09,640
Speaker 1: sun and have a single dad. Uh there's never been

1127
01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:14,760
Speaker 1: a widow before. Uh, a widower before. And uh, I

1128
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:17,360
Speaker 1: just I thought that he kind of had all the

1129
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:21,880
Speaker 1: makings of a good bachelor and uh, whenever, maybe we

1130
01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:23,800
Speaker 1: will all fall in love with this guy, Clayton. I'm

1131
01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:26,120
Speaker 1: sure we will. He has big shoes to Phil if

1132
01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 1: you're replaced in Michael Ay. I was a big mic

1133
01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:31,720
Speaker 1: clay fan. Well, hey, former bachelor. Wam Pablo reunites with

1134
01:00:32,080 --> 01:00:37,600
Speaker 1: x Nicki Farrell after seven years wild wild Wild Ashley.

1135
01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:40,080
Speaker 1: Why they reunite? What's going on? We don't really know

1136
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:44,200
Speaker 1: why they reunited, but they reunited at the plaza in

1137
01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:49,120
Speaker 1: Kansas City where Nikki is a pediatric nurse, and they

1138
01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:53,880
Speaker 1: were all smiley, uh and and um. Wam Pablo captured

1139
01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:58,240
Speaker 1: the picture. Great seven years of catching up with Nicki Farrell.

1140
01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:02,280
Speaker 1: So they they got ice cream and they just seemed

1141
01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:07,560
Speaker 1: like very I mean, how bizarre, how bizarre. But I

1142
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:09,680
Speaker 1: guess maybe they never left off on as bad of

1143
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:12,280
Speaker 1: terms as we would have thought. We never really did

1144
01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:15,240
Speaker 1: see like how their relationship ended. We just saw how

1145
01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:17,360
Speaker 1: he was on the Bachelor, and I guess we would

1146
01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:22,400
Speaker 1: have assumed that he broke up with their they broke

1147
01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:24,880
Speaker 1: up and it was dirty, because like all his breakups

1148
01:01:24,880 --> 01:01:29,600
Speaker 1: on the show, seems kind of dirty. Well, next headline, Bachelor,

1149
01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:31,480
Speaker 1: it's been at Jordan. We're gonna answers to why he

1150
01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:34,960
Speaker 1: wasn't in Paradise because he introduced his girlfriend Emily Chen

1151
01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:40,360
Speaker 1: after skipping Bachelor in Paradise is. According to US Weekly, Yeah,

1152
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:43,720
Speaker 1: he posted on Instagram he said, meet Emily. I'm pretty

1153
01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:48,680
Speaker 1: sure she's a real life angel. He said, Aside from

1154
01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:51,680
Speaker 1: being the most graceful Yogi I've ever seen in my

1155
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:54,280
Speaker 1: fifteen years of practice, she has the best heart and

1156
01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:56,760
Speaker 1: spirit of anyone I've met. You're going to see a

1157
01:01:56,760 --> 01:01:58,840
Speaker 1: lot more of us. But if you want to feel

1158
01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:02,560
Speaker 1: more inspired, more enlightened, grow stronger, live a little lighter,

1159
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:05,200
Speaker 1: and feel more connected and graded in your life, I

1160
01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:09,040
Speaker 1: encourage you to follow her. I'm pretty much the luckiest girl.

1161
01:02:09,640 --> 01:02:12,240
Speaker 1: I'm pretty much the luckiest guy in the world. Uh.

1162
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:16,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if they were together while Paradise was filming.

1163
01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:18,840
Speaker 1: I guess like part of you kind of like assumes

1164
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:21,160
Speaker 1: that they would be because he wasn't part of the

1165
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:23,080
Speaker 1: Paradise cast, and I would have assumed that he was

1166
01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:25,919
Speaker 1: a shoeing for it. Um So I'm gonna go ahead

1167
01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:28,120
Speaker 1: and assume there was some sort of talking to for

1168
01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:32,960
Speaker 1: a while, but I wouldn't be shocked. And good for him, right,

1169
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:36,280
Speaker 1: I mean good for him that he found somebody that said, Hey,

1170
01:02:36,320 --> 01:02:38,360
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna want a show. I don't need followers,

1171
01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:42,280
Speaker 1: I need a girlfriend, I need a partner. I'm happy

1172
01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:45,760
Speaker 1: for him. Well, um so we're celebrating that. And final

1173
01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:49,120
Speaker 1: headline comes from somebody we just had on the podcast today.

1174
01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:52,720
Speaker 1: The headline reads this, Tashia Adams. Adams admits to tough

1175
01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:56,080
Speaker 1: times with fiance Zach Clark. We want to make it work,

1176
01:02:57,240 --> 01:03:00,120
Speaker 1: So basically, she says, whenever we're asked about the wedding,

1177
01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:02,600
Speaker 1: we are no closer to getting a wedding plan than

1178
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:06,600
Speaker 1: we were a year ago. We just can't wait to

1179
01:03:06,680 --> 01:03:10,200
Speaker 1: actually just be together and continue to grow our relationship.

1180
01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:13,600
Speaker 1: Wedding plans someday on the horizon, but right now, we're

1181
01:03:13,640 --> 01:03:17,000
Speaker 1: enjoying New York and we have a marathon to look

1182
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:18,840
Speaker 1: forward to. We have a lot on our plate right now.

1183
01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:23,240
Speaker 1: She said that there's a true special connection there that

1184
01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:26,000
Speaker 1: they knew that they had instantly, and she says that's

1185
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:30,480
Speaker 1: what's really helped them carry the relationship through tough circumstances

1186
01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:32,880
Speaker 1: like her being gone for months at a time to

1187
01:03:32,960 --> 01:03:37,200
Speaker 1: film and them living on different coasts at certain times.

1188
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:40,360
Speaker 1: She said, truthfully, if we didn't have that, I don't

1189
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:43,120
Speaker 1: know that we would have been able to last. But

1190
01:03:43,160 --> 01:03:46,560
Speaker 1: she also says it's been pretty tough the distance, but

1191
01:03:46,640 --> 01:03:48,680
Speaker 1: also at the same time, they love each other so

1192
01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:50,280
Speaker 1: much and they want to make it work, and that's

1193
01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:52,640
Speaker 1: really all you need at the end of the day,

1194
01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:56,320
Speaker 1: we hope to make it work. Cheering for those two. Well, Hey,
