18
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: I'm in Florida. I've been talking about this golf tournament

19
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: for a long time. People are probably over it, but

20
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: that's okay. I'm here now. It's practice round day and

21
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: I'm staying in a really nice hotel. It's called the Wave.

22
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: It's at Lake Nona and the futures upon us. You

23
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: know why because both restrooms in my yes, my hotel

24
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: room has two bathrooms, which is very fancy. Um, they

25
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: have heated toilet seats. I had heated toilet seats in

26
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: my last hotel room, which uh, funnest seemed weird until

27
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 1: I experiencing multiple times and I was like, wait a second,

28
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: this is something to incorporate into a house. One day

29
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: it is, and then the toilet seat lifts as you

30
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: walk up to that. Yes, it is. Oh my goodness,

31
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is how uh that other

32
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: you know, person of people live And I ain't hating

33
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: it for a bit. This feels good. This is something else. Um.

34
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: All right, well, hey, we are gonna go through bachelor Head.

35
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: That's gonna through some bachelor's sayings. We're gonna bring Renee on.

36
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: But before we do, let's take a break with the

37
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: almost serious podcast. Actually, we're running through some of the

38
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: former Bachelor's like titles today just to remind people the

39
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,119
Speaker 1: sayings going into this season. We're going to compare them

40
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 1: and see who's maybe like the best and the worst.

41
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: I've always had an issue with mine. I don't know

42
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: if I've ever told you why, but I've always had

43
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: an issue with mine. Um, but we'll start with Clayton's here.

44
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: Clayton's is everyone loves an underdog. Do you feel like

45
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: Clayton was an underdog? No? I think the word the

46
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 1: word underdog is a really nice way of saying somebody

47
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: who we didn't know. Yes, somebody that you you haven't

48
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: watched yet. Uh, mine was. And I'm sure I've mentioned

49
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: the podcast before. This really played with my head a lot.

50
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: My headline was the Perfect Ben, which when you first

51
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: see it would be sweet. And when I first saw

52
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: it the first time, I was like, wow, Like that

53
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: is really crazy that they would think that the perfect

54
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: because it's but I took it as a compliment, and

55
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: then over time I realized that all it did was

56
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: set myself up for failure, Like all it did was

57
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: setting me up to be um to fall short of this,

58
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: And over time it really started to mess with me. Hey, Ben,

59
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: years probably stuck with you more than any other catchphrase.

60
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: I feel like it got followed like it it was

61
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: like teased throughout the season. M And I just think

62
00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: that people refer to you by that more than any other. Well.

63
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: The the interesting thing with that too is I just

64
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: took a three day intensive like counseling session, and one

65
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: of my weaknesses is that, like, I won't forgive myself

66
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: unless I reach perfection, and you never reach perfection, so

67
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: you never forgive yourself. And so then to have this

68
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: as your tagline, well it was not exactly healthy, but

69
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 1: it's okay. We got peters, which is expect turbulence. I

70
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: thought that one was really good, really good, especially for

71
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: the season it was. It was perfect for that season.

72
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: A couple more here Nix's fourth times the Charm. I'm

73
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: sure he hated that so much. I like it though,

74
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 1: Uh it was okay. Final one maybe, uh, just the

75
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: hardest one of them all, like the one that just

76
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: I mean even the profile, the picture of it is tough.

77
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: But Colton Underwood's was what does he have to lose?

78
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: And he's dressed up in the same shirt that uh

79
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: four year old virgin was dressed up. Do you think

80
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: they had to get rights to that? Yeah? I don't.

81
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure they did, but my goodness, this is a

82
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 1: tough like all these others are kind of like, you know,

83
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: smoldering and like you look in their best and then

84
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: you have colden, like holding a rose staring up into

85
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: the sky. It is really funny. I remember when that

86
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: came out. I was like, oh my god, of course

87
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 1: they did. There are a couple more. You don't want

88
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: to go through them. I don't think we should go

89
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: through them all, but I think we should at least do.

90
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: Jesse Palmer's host of The Bachelor, so he says, yeah,

91
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: his is the Giants quarterback is making a play for ladies,

92
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 1: but it's a whole new game because one of them

93
00:05:51,440 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: is his spy. Oh wait, so when somebody asked, has

94
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: the show change? I would use this as an example.

95
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: His tagline is an explanation for his season. The New

96
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: York Giants quarterback is making a play for ladies, but

97
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: it's a whole new game because one of them is

98
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: a spot sounds like a movie. It's because one of

99
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: them is his spy. It's it seems ridiculous. Well, uh,

100
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: it's really interesting to go through all these If you

101
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: get a chance, listeners google The Bachelor's uh like cover sayings,

102
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 1: go through them all there. Some of them are funny,

103
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: some of them are really long, some of them don't

104
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: make a lot of sense. Some of them really do,

105
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 1: and I feel like, uh, it does kind of show

106
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: how much the show has changed over the years, because

107
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,359
Speaker 1: now we just have taglines. We used to have like

108
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: a paragraph. Yeah, well, can we just say christuls is

109
00:06:55,279 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: because I was on that season traditional period, classes, period,

110
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: all American period. I like it. I'm looking at the picture.

111
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: He's dressed up like it's a rose ceremony, but he's

112
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: got his shoulder up against a barn and it kind

113
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: of throws me back, and I have all the feelings

114
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: again and I like it. Ah, so good. Hey, actually

115
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: I do want to add we were talking about Nick.

116
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: I just spent the weekend with Nick and Natalie. Yes Angeles.

117
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: That pizza that he made for you that you guys

118
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: both showed off on Instagram looked incredible, Ashley, I AMTI.

119
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: You know, Nick and I have had our journey and friendship. Right.

120
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: It went from like, hey, he came on Caitlin's season.

121
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: I didn't really know a lot about him. I just

122
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: kind of stayed out of the drama that just didn't

123
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: really pay much attention to it. UM mostly just ignored him,

124
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: and then over time we got kind of like competitive,

125
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: Like there was envy and there was a little jealousy

126
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: on both ends for both of us, and now really

127
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: good friends and like I really love Nick. I've gotten

128
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: to know Nick. Nick is still Nick. And Nick will

129
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: tell you that. Like there's moments where like he'll disappear

130
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: onto his phone for an hour and a half when

131
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: you're like in the same room and as you're like,

132
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: well this is cool, like I don't know what, but um,

133
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: Natalie is incredible, like the perfect compliment to him. She

134
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: brings out the best in him. It was so good

135
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: to spend I mean, I stayed at their house. Their

136
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: house is awesome. I stayed there, so I got to

137
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: spend all day with him. In the evening and then

138
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: Nick made this pizza as you're referring to, actually I'm

139
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: not playing and and like it was one of the

140
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: best bites of pizza I've ever had. When he was

141
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: cutting through it on your Instagram story, I was like

142
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: that crunch of that crisp. I like you to box

143
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: that up and send it to me. Yeah, next time

144
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: you're with him, you have to have him make it

145
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,359
Speaker 1: for you. Going he takes it very serious, like he

146
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: he's he kind of explained it, what like it would

147
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: take me a couple of times to learn how to

148
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: do it because Natalie wants to learn how to do it,

149
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 1: and he would just rather do it himself because I mean,

150
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not playing. He's mastered it like that, the

151
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: like the thing crusted, the ingredients on top. He gets

152
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: everything from Italy, Oh he does. I mean that's key.

153
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: When Jared was in a pizza making stage, he didn't

154
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: do so much of the crispy thin crust. It was

155
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: more of like a Napoleon, you know, Napoleon pizza, and

156
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,079
Speaker 1: we would get all the ingredients from Italy. It's just

157
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 1: so critical if you guys don't know what Italy is.

158
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: It's like an Italian grocery store that's really only in

159
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: major cities. Yeah, look at it. It's great and so yeah,

160
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: I mean it was all around in a terrific dam

161
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: very thankfully let me stay with them and uh and

162
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: just we had a tremendous time together at their house.

163
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: They welcomed me in with open arms. It was great.

164
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: So how was the dog? Ah? So good? Jeff is

165
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: Jeff is a sweet, sweet pup, very cuddly, very loving.

166
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: In fact, I think being with Jeff made me even

167
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: more excited to get our dog. Is it happening in

168
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: less than two two weeks? I think is getting a dog? Guys,

169
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: if you didn't know, Ben hasn't had a dog for

170
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: a way over a decade because he was traumatized by

171
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: the loss of his childhood dog that he didn't think

172
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: he could do it again. And now he's gonna find

173
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: the love and another dog. I was pressured. I definitely

174
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: think my wife was like, hey, we should get a dog,

175
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: and then I was like, yeah, that's a good idea.

176
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: And then she's like, hey, no, like we should get

177
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: a dog, and um, yeah, I just love my pups

178
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: so much growing up that I just didn't want to

179
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: feel that pain again. But I am getting excited to

180
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: have something around us. We got the update that the

181
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,319
Speaker 1: we should be reading about a week or two, and um,

182
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: I'm obviously down here in Landa right now, but that's

183
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: a big update in my life, Ashley. Before we get

184
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: into bachelor headlines, I got some messages this week wondering

185
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: how you're doing living at home. How is it going

186
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: so far? It's good. I'm going to bring Jared in

187
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 1: here now, what's up? Buddy, What up? Bro? How you doing?

188
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: I thought that, you know, Ben asked how living at

189
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: home was? I was here for ten days without you,

190
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: and then today we had to do a lot of

191
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: work together, so much fun, and then tomorrow we have

192
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: more work and then you leave me again and then

193
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: you go back to work at all for thirteen hours

194
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: a day. How are you doing? We're doing well? Is

195
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: that the question? It's a very leading question leading the witness. Um,

196
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: how are we doing? We're doing well? I mean it's

197
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 1: more than Jared's going to have a mental break out.

198
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: He's gonna have a Mariah carry overworked hospital stay? Is

199
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: that what happened to Mariah carry out? She went to

200
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: the hospital for being overworked? Why is that? Well, let's

201
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: but like let's describe it for the listeners and myself

202
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: because I don't know, like why, Jared are you feeling overworked?

203
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 1: I know the success of Audreys is something I was

204
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 1: even telling Nick and Natalie about how incredible it is

205
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: to see how much coffee you guys are buying from us,

206
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: Like that's a gift to us, and I hope it's

207
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: a gift to you. Um, but you know, then having Ashley, Uh,

208
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,599
Speaker 1: there with their family, Like, where are you at emotionally

209
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 1: and mentally prepping, you know for this next stage life? Dude,

210
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: I'm an owner of a you know, a restaurant. I'm

211
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: just riddled with anxiety. That's what we do. That's what

212
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: the business is all about. Anybody who's listening and works

213
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: in the restaurant industry, you know, it's just like, Yeah,

214
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: you just constantly feel like you're keeping your head both

215
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: water so you're not drowning. This is what you've craved

216
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 1: for all the yeah that we that you weren't working,

217
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: and still I'm still glad of doing it. But obviously

218
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: there's a line, and that line is when you're working

219
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: a hundred hours a week. But I digress, dude. First

220
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: of all, your coffee is a huge gift. People are

221
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: loving it. I love serving your coffee. People love the

222
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: story of it, they love the taste of it. They

223
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: love that there's a bachelor twist in there. So it's

224
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: it's it's all positive, which has been awesome. People, like

225
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: we talked about in the email, people want to buy

226
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: the coffee for their for you know, their home. So

227
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: it works out really well and it's getting better. I

228
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: can feel it. Getting better, you know, we're getting more

229
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: structured and knock on wood, a lot of people have

230
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 1: come in and said, wow, it feels like your business

231
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: has been running for years, which has been extremely nice,

232
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: and that a lot of preparation, a lot of work,

233
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: and a lot of passion has gone into that. But

234
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: this was his first time away from the shop as

235
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: it's been open. Yeah, so I've obviously been texting my managers.

236
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: They probably hate me because I'm like, how's it going,

237
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: how's it going? What are you guys doing? Our customers happy?

238
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: Everything going well? And uh, but hey, what are you

239
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: gonna do? I'm paying the bill, so I get to

240
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: do whatever I want. Really, but I aggress. As as

241
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: for Ashley and I were doing well, I think it's

242
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: just been I'm feeling a little guilty because I've been

243
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: away and this is the last couple of weeks that

244
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: Ashley and I are going to be a couple before

245
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,079
Speaker 1: we have a child in our life, and it's just weird.

246
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: It's weird. I think he realizes that we're having a

247
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: child in a couple of weeks. Oh, I realize it.

248
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: But I've talked to a couple of guys that just

249
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: feel like they weren't really connected to their kid until

250
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: they were born, because it's like, my body's not changing.

251
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: You're just you know, achy all the time and can't

252
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: breathe and complaining, so nothing really changes there. He um

253
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: doesn't even care about feeling my belly, though I care

254
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: about feeling your belly. It's just I feel the kid.

255
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: I almost said his name. Um. I feel him kick

256
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, that's cool, and then I'm done.

257
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: He's well, it's like how long, you know, It's like, oh,

258
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: that's cool. It's so crazy, all right, I'm gonna I'm

259
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: gonna go now. It is interesting, Jared, And I think

260
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: I'll be similar to you. I have friends who have

261
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: had kids and they've been like obsessed with the process

262
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: of pregnancy and like, well, like I feel I've seen

263
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: them connected and like listening to the baby right and

264
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: all this stuff. And for me, I think I'll be

265
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: similar to you or it's like this is crazy and awesome.

266
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: But I really think there's going to be a moment

267
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: after that baby is born. I would expect where I

268
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: finally feel like, oh my gosh, I'm a dad. But

269
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: right and you know, right now, I don't think there's

270
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: anything like abnormal to to what you're feeling. Yeah, I've

271
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: heard it many times. It's just right now, it looks

272
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: like Ashley just you know, went ham at dinner and

273
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: is really bloated. Is this funny that I used to

274
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: like when we get back from dinner and then I'd

275
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: pull my shirt down and I'd look at the alien.

276
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: I look like I'm seven months, I used to say.

277
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: I used to say I looked seven months. And now

278
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: we know that that is a huge job eight weeks.

279
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: Now we know what seven or eight months looks like.

280
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: Um um, yeah, So oh, so you're gonna go back

281
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: to the shop. You're gonna go back to Audrey's. When

282
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: are you coming back to spend time with Ashley before

283
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: the baby is born? Probably? You know, I'll come back

284
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: the first week in February at some point and just

285
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: stay down here until until the little little gag comes.

286
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to come back before then, and there's

287
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: a there's a little well, no why the first week

288
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: and making sure like if you're if you're, if you're not,

289
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: you know, by February three or fourth, I'll be back.

290
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: That's not what we're talking about this now, I'm not

291
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: going to see you for it's only the seventeen and

292
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: then you're not going to come back until I'll come

293
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: back sooner then I don't know. Actually, this is what like,

294
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: this is what gets This is what we're all scared of.

295
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: We're not scared of anything. I mean, listen, you're giving

296
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: birth in an incredible hospital down in Virginia, Virginia. We're

297
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: running a business and have a new house in Rhode

298
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,199
Speaker 1: Island that nobody lives in, nobody lives in right now,

299
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,719
Speaker 1: which I find more about this, honestly, the shop than

300
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,199
Speaker 1: the house. I don't really care about the house. But um,

301
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: you know, we're doing what we can and this is

302
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: what people do. You know, we're going to make it through.

303
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: I don't love this is what people do. This is

304
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: what people do. Do I laugh at myself too much. No,

305
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 1: it's good that you laugh at yourself. Um. I just

306
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 1: want to also say that I'm learning something new today.

307
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: I believe that Ashley is wearing a like belly shirt

308
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,719
Speaker 1: as it while she's pregnant. I've never seen that done before,

309
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 1: but Jared, one of the gifts of actually being pregnant

310
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: has been how much I've learned and grown as a man,

311
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: prepared like as she's you know, sat here every week

312
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: with me. Is that a belly shirt you're wearing? It is.

313
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: We just took an Instagram and we needed something that

314
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: really showed off the size of the belly. I feel

315
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: like your belly is always out though. Yeah, it's because

316
00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 1: nothing really fits right now. I'm like a dry us.

317
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: It's out. Yeah, the belly is just always out. It's

318
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,760

353
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: Thanks for playing bats bracket and dominating. Thank you, thank

354
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: you so much for having me. I'm happy to be here. Man,

355
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 1: you crushed it. You just destroyed the batch bracket I did. Yeah,

356
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 1: my friends won't play with me anymore. Was there any

357
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: week that you feel like you're stumped at what to

358
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: respond with? There were some weeks towards the beginning where

359
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: you know, it was really hard with like the way

360
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 1: they do points. Um, it was kind of just like

361
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: anyone's game. Towards the end, I feel like it gets

362
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: a little easier once it's narrowed down. But um, yeah,

363
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 1: it's it's always the first week is the toughest when

364
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 1: you don't know anyone yet and anyone could do anything.

365
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: There's not too much you know, past stuff to work

366
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: on too, no past clues we really want to find

367
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: out about you. Um. Also, but it brings up something

368
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: that we find very interesting. We talked about many times

369
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 1: since our original winner came on. What was your strategy?

370
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: Because you did do so well, how did you continue

371
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 1: to not only pick good weeks, but like keep up

372
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: the pace and beat everybody? Yeah, so my strategy. So

373
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: I I was honestly, um, not even able to watch

374
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: the full episodes, like I was working a ton, So

375
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: sometimes I could only even just watch the previews before

376
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: I had to set my bracket, and so I would

377
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 1: really just look at those. Um I'm in a discord

378
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: group of some people who are really awesome at slew thing. Um.

379
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:07,360
Speaker 1: Sometimes I would read the Bachelor subreddit. Uh and yeah,

380
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: just really looking at the previews and trying to like, see,

381
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 1: you know, who's in the shops for next week, so

382
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: some s thing. Okay, did you sense Nate winning from

383
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: the beginning? Um? Yeah, yeah, I had a feelings. Interesting

384
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: why some of us never expected Nate? Yeah, did you

385
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: see spoilers? I try not to read like specific spoilers,

386
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: more just like like slew thing, like people figuring it

387
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: out from shots of you know, from the previews and stuff. Um. Yeah,

388
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: so it was more just like um, when like uh

389
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 1: preview footage would come out, there were like a ton

390
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: of shots of Nate I don't know, and they just

391
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: had really great chemistry. I had a feeling. Now, Um,

Speaker 1: a day. I do want to preface this was say, um,

436
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: with the passing of Clint Artless. Uh, it was shocking.

437
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 1: It was texted about all over. I actually called Jared

438
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: as soon as I saw the headline come through. There's

439
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: gonna be some headlines about Clint's passing today. There's still

440
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: not a lot of um information on it. But I

441
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 1: want to I want to say this. I don't know

442
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: if you ever got to be around him actually, but um,

443
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,959
Speaker 1: you know, he was obviously on the season with with

444
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: me during Caitlyn's time as the bachelorette. I did not speak.

445
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: I cannot say I spoke to Clint more than um

446
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,479
Speaker 1: A handful of times after that season ended. We had

447
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: a text thread. We did some fantasy stuff, but like nothing,

448
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: um serious. Was he there for a week on your season? Forget?

449
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: Was he let me used during episode two? I think

450
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: he was there for two weeks and he obviously kind

451
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 1: of came off that and it's like a villain or

452
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: he was kind of in the JJ realm where him

453
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 1: and JJ you know, had their things. Yeah, funny villains.

454
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: And then Clint went home. It wasn't the best uh

455
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 1: look for Clint during the season. But this is what

456
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 1: all of us and I was talking to Nick about

457
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: this too when I was with him. Took away from

458
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 1: from knowing Clint. Clint wasn't incredibly intelligent, insanely creative, an

459
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: amazing painter. He painted a picture if you remember that night,

460
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:31,719
Speaker 1: that was iconic. It was of Chris Harrison. H and

461
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 1: he he was. He was almost intimidating because of his curiosity,

462
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: his intellect, his ability to respond because he just knew

463
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: so much. Um And I know the people around him

464
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: were impacted by him for some very similar things. He

465
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,679
Speaker 1: was a leader, he was creative, very protecting, very loving.

466
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 1: And it is a loss to Bachelor It's a shocking

467
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 1: loss to Bachelor Nation, losing Clint. I met Clint twice,

468
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 1: one at the Mentel all and then one one time

469
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 1: at JJ's wedding. Actually and yeah, nothing but nice things

470
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: to say about him. Um And like you said, my producer,

471
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: my friend, one of my best friends who's a producer,

472
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: that the exact same thing. She just like that was

473
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 1: like a very intriguing guy to be around. He was

474
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 1: so smart, he was so creative and artistic, and Jared,

475
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: you know, he he kept in touch with him in

476
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: a similar sort of way like big group messages fantasy

477
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: football and stuff like that. But everybody who actually spent

478
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: time with clintson to really like being around him. Um,

479
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: so so sad. Don't know again like how he passed,

480
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: but we did get some quotes um this week. This

481
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: one's from his sister Taylor. It says, with a great sadness,

482
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: it's with the sadness to tell you that my family

483
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: has lost my best friend and older brother, Clint on

484
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: the morning of January. Please respect our families privacy as

485
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: we cope with this great loss. Uh Nick went on

486
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: Twitter and said, a very kind, unique and talented person

487
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: just heard of the passing of Clint. UM got to

488
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: know him a little bit over our time on Caitlin season,

489
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: and I will always enjoy our time and conversations. Caitlin

490
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 1: Brusso also got on Instagram story and said, this is

491
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 1: an insta Instagram story. I did not think i'd be

492
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 1: doing tonight. Clint, who was on my season in The Bachelorrette,

493
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to say tragically, he's tragically passed thirty four

494
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: years old. I'm not sure what happened, how it happened. Um,

495
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: even though things didn't didn't end the best on the

496
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: best terms for us. From his time on the show

497
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: to today, I have heard nothing but incredible things about

498
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: that person. From his here's, his students, as coaches, as teachers,

499
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: his friends and family. Clint was very well respected in

500
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: this world. UM. She also says that she doesn't know

501
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 1: much about how you know, the circumstances around his passing.

502
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: It's none of my business, she said. UM, this s

503
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 1: Insan story is literally just to say to anyone who

504
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: knows him who might follow me, UM, that I am

505
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: so sorry. It's such a huge loss, and honestly I'm

506
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: just besides myself with this news. We also have a

507
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: little bit of an update from the police in his town.

508
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: It said that he was found He's found dead at

509
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: a private residence Tuesday, January eleven. UM. They confirmed that

510
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 1: is Clinton and that um there is no foul play

511
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: and suspected as of right now, but the matter is

512
00:30:55,680 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 1: currently under investigation by the police. Our thoughts are Within's family.

513
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: We will respect their privacy, UM, but we just wanted

514
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: to give a tribute to somebody within Batchel Nation, a

515
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: part of this family that has unfortunately passed away way

516
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 1: way too early. Well, there's no easy way to switch gears. UM.

517
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: And to switch subjects. But we are going to con

518
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: continue with Bachelor headlines, and the next one is Bachelor's Cassidy.

519
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: Tim Brooks Slams Clayton Are the Bachelor compares side Peace

520
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 1: drama to Sally Carson. This according to US Weekly article, Okay,

521
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: so this is like the silliest thing I've ever seen. Well,

522
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: she got on Instagram and spoiled her season. She talks

523
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: about her own elimination on December one, before her season

524
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 1: even started airing. This is what she says. I mean,

525
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 1: I was saying last week that Cassidy didn't seem like

526
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 1: that much of the villain to me, and that was like, en,

527
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: she seems like a real villain. Cassidy. Well, now that

528
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: I've seen these videos that she posted on January, I'm like,

529
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: oh no, no no, okay, So Cassidy is um she's trouble.

530
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: This is what she says. I love getting ready for

531
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: dates nowadays because it's literally just me in the mirror, like,

532
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 1: wait a second, this man should be so effing lucky.

533
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: And then I remember that, wait a second, even though

534
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: I'm about to be on national television, men still treat

535
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: me like but that's okay, that's all right, because not

536
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 1: for long, not for effing long. She continues to say, Anyways,

537
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 1: I think I'm going to be a great influencer. Again, guys,

538
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: this is before her season even premieres. I feel like

539
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: I'm really entertaining. You're entertained, right, you buy anything I'm

540
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 1: telling you? Right, even if it's complete both I think. So, wait,

541
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: don't answer that it's yes. I mean, it's pretty obvious.

542
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 1: Is she making Is this like a whole tongue in

543
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 1: cheek monologue. It's so over the top it almost seems

544
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: like she's making fun of other influencers who have come

545
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: from the show. She also goes on to say to

546
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: Um to address cloud chasers in her d M s

547
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: insinuating that men are trying to get with her now

548
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: because she's about to be on TV. She says, men

549
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: are trash. So let's go back for a second and

550
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: remind you that Sally, of course, was that girl who

551
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 1: went to Colton's room. Colton, Oh my god, we're all

552
00:33:56,240 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: doing it, aren't We went to Clayton's room and said like,

553
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 1: I can't be here. I was recently engaged. It doesn't

554
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: feel right. He wanted to give her a rose. Well,

555
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: this is. This is Cassidy addressing this on on this

556
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 1: resurfaced video. She was, I realized that I am normally

557
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 1: being dramatic, but you as in Clayton, We're gonna give

558
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:26,760
Speaker 1: Sally a rose even though she was engaged last week.

559
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 1: This is actually ironic and I kind of like the

560
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:34,879
Speaker 1: fact that she pointed this out. She was a Meanwhile,

561
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 1: I've someone a few months ago and I got sent home. Okay, No,

562
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: it's cool. I get it. I get it. I get

563
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: what we're made of here. I get this stuff that

564
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: this stuff is happening, Go fuck yourself. Clayton Eckard. This

565
00:34:55,280 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 1: is what she on Instagram this past week. Um, I

566
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 1: think that there's a little bit of a point she

567
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: gets in trouble for having like a friends with benefits

568
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 1: at home, because we know that this week she was

569
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 1: called out, you know, for having a guy at home.

570
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: We debated it on last week's episode whether it was

571
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:22,800
Speaker 1: kosher or not. But this is It is funny that

572
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,839
Speaker 1: he eliminated one girl with a fiance but wouldn't really

573
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: eliminate the girl who just hooked up with somebody casually.

574
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 1: But the fact that she goes on Instagram this past

575
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: week says says, f you Clayton. I mean that's really

576
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 1: not tasteful. Um. But also she also um spoils the

577
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,839
Speaker 1: show by saying she gets eliminated. Do you remember Ben

578
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago, we were like, is she

579
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: going to get eliminated for this or is she going

580
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 1: to hang around for a few more weeks? Well we

581
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 1: have our answer. She literally spoiled the show, which is

582
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 1: contractually just bad in general, just not a good look. Um.

583
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 1: There's a lot there, a lot of sayings, a lot

584
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 1: of things going on. She's not happy. It's going to

585
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 1: be interesting to see how she exits, what she does

586
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 1: when she exits, and to see how much we hear

587
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 1: of Cassidy as time moves on. Now, Um, who knows,

588
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 1: we might not see much of her. We might see

589
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 1: a lot of her, but it's it's hard to tell.

590
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:32,319
Speaker 1: I can't imagine that even bring her to Paradise after

591
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,879
Speaker 1: she spoiled the show like that. Yeah, she probably just

592
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: she probably just did not book her ticket to Mexico. Well,

593
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 1: we only have one other headline today. Katie Thurston and

594
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: boyfriend John Hersey reunite with bachelorette Michael A. Her quote

595
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,799
Speaker 1: is Katie's quote is this feels like a nightmare. Yes,

596
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 1: uh yeah, so that seems it seems weird, right, but

597
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 1: it was apparently anything but off word. She was joking

598
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 1: when she said that that she was on a group

599
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 1: date basically, um, with Michael and her new boyfriend John.

600
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 1: Feels like a nightmare. Um, but that's just what she

601
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 1: captioned her picture. It was a selfie. Uh yeah. So

602
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 1: they were just like hanging out sunset meal in Mexico

603
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:26,720
Speaker 1: and they it wasn't just it wasn't just them. Also,

604
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 1: Luke Stone was there and um, it was just it

605
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,760
Speaker 1: was all fun. So not really a nightmare. But Katie
