Speaker 1: but we're all in it together. We're all going to

26
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: get through it together. And I have never heard from him.

27
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: Do you think he read it? I know he read it,

28
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:46,560

34
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: very exciting. Oh yeah, okay, this is what I wanted

35
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: to talk about. In February, in like two weeks, I

36
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: have this new digital digital show coming out. It's called

37
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 1: the Story of Us, and you're gonna get to see

38
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: me interview. I think it's eight different couples about how

39
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 1: they met their first kiss, how they proposed their wedding day,

40
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: all that good stuff. Because I've always been fascinated by

41
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: like how we met stories, because it's it's so amazing that, like,

42
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: you know, you just run into somebody at the grocery

43
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: store or match with someone online and then you end

44
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: up spending the rest of your life together. So I

45
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: just h yeah, it's so crazy. So I have always

46
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: been fascinating the stories that I get to tell them.

47
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 1: So I'll send you guys links and all that good

48

Speaker 1: I'm really excited about is obviously Generous Coffee is still pumping.

57
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: I am sitting in my office right now and as

58
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: soon as this podcast is done, I am jumping on

59
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: the phone UM to try to secure a couple more

60
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: clients for Generous. It's been a really good experience. And

61
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: I am also going on my first I'm taking a

62
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: group of people two hundurus to see some of our

63
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: coffee farms UH next month and some of those people

64
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: are from The Bachelor, UM, which is really exciting. And

65
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: then finally this last Saturday, UM, a few nights ago,

66
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: my first episode of First Look aired and it was

67
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: called Breaking Ben. Uh aired after SNL on NBC, and

68
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: I was so excited about this project. I really want

69
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: UM to do this more. I guess I had a

70
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: lot of fun with this show and I felt very

71
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: alive doing the show. And so I'm hoping that everybody

72
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: that listens to the podcast also goes out and looks

73
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: into watching the Breaking Ben episode of First Look, because

74
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 1: it really was something that I enjoyed doing. Can you

75
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: watch it on YouTube? You can google it, so it's

76
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: it's on the internet. UM, you can just google Breaking

77
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: then First Look it will pop up with with a

78
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: link to the episode. UM. So anyways, that just stared

79
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: and we'll see where that takes me. If it doesn't

80
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: take me anywhere, I'm really glad that I got the

81
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: opportunity to work with that show because just show me,

82
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: UM that I do actually kind of enjoy hosting, which

83
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: makes sense because we have a podcast. Yeah, you are

84
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: great on TV, and you're great at like getting out

85
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: of your comfort zone. Not many people can be as

86
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: comfortable getting out of their comfort zone as you do. Well.

87
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 1: One of our first guests is definitely out of his

88
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: comfort zone, is um he? I mean Ari is going

89
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: to come onto this podcast. We're let's just be clear.

90
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: I want this to be a time for Ari to

91
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: tell all the fans out there, because he has a

92
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: lot of them who he is. I want to ask

93
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: him the questions that helps him dig into a little

94
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: bit more of himself than like like actually was just

95
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: saying that we see on television. This podcast is meant

107
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 1: I was just telling our listeners that every season since

108
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: mine Bachelor has reached out to me or actually him out.

109
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: I I'm I'm very upset and I just need to

110
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 1: get this off my chest. Um. I have talked to

111
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: going into the Bachelor or during the Bachelor, and Ari,

112
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: I've reached out to twice that I've never heard anything.

113
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: Why is that You're not like me? I didn't even

114
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 1: know you reached out. Actually, but I did come to

115
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,000

119
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: tried to get your numbers. So I'm not that mad,

120
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: but I felt like I was chasing after you. I

121
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: felt like I had a crush on a girl, in

122
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: this case, on you, Ari. And I was trying so

123
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: desperately hard to get your attention and I never got it.

124
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 1: And so I'm glad that you decided to come on

00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: down this season and break down you and your performance

132
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: as a Bachelor with the knowledge that we have. I

138
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,080

139
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: to have some love from India though, because of obviously,

140
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: and I have listened to the podcast, and you guys

141
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: have been kind of hard on me. I'm not gonna lie.

142
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: I know, I know we haven't so so hard on you. Um,

143
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: I do want to say that I was definitely a

144
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: fan of you being the Bachelor, and I really liked

145
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: you in person for reasons that people will find out

146
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: one watching the Winter Games, even though we didn't really

147
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: get to have like a really private chat. I do

148
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: want you to be here though, so that people can

149
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: get to know your personality beyond what they've showed on

150
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: the show. You tweeted last week, maybe a little frustration.

151
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: You said that it's something along the lines of it's

152
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: unfortunate that you guys didn't get to see a lot

153
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: of deep, meaningful conversations. Um. This episode four was the

154
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: first episode I started feeling like, Okay, I think his

155
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: personality is coming out. I definitely think that. So it's

156
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: a good time for you to be here. But I

157
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: want to go back to that tweet. What is the

158
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 1: most frustrating part of watching this back for you so far?

159
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: I just got to say, you know, obviously, the first

160
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: few weeks, I was pretty uncomfortable being in this role. Uh,

161
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: And I think that showed a little bit. But I

162
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: did have some really great conversations and some awesome moments,

163
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: and you know that there's things I get shows that

164
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: chosen that they show and things that they don't show obviously,

165
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: and so it was just, you know, I think the

166
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: storyline was a little bit more on the physical side

167
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: of things than that. It's hard to watch for me

168
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: and um, yeah, So Tahoe was great though, because I

169
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: was finally very comfortable the group that it was so

170
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: much fun, and that was sort of the first location

171
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: where I was like, Okay, I was feeling good in

172
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: the role and I was having a blast. I really

173
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: think it shows. And I'm not just saying this because

174
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: we're talking to you today. Thank you, Actually, I appreciate that.

175
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: I you know, all right here, okay, let's start. I

176
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,719
Speaker 1: want to be clear. Okay, the three friends talking right now.

177
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: We have you on the podcast. First off, thank you

178
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: so much for coming of the podcast. This is huge

179
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: for us and and really exciting. So I have to

180
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: give you all the credit for being willing to talk

181
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: with us. But I want you to try to let

182
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 1: your guard down a little bit because I know how

183
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: it is to be in your position, and you're nervous,

184
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: and everything you say is being criticized. Every move you

185
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: make is being criticized. You say one wrong thing in

186
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: the world erupt and it feels like the world erupts

187
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: for this podcast. If you can, and I don't want

188
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: to set you up for anything. I'm not gonna ask

189
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: you actually, and I are not gonna ask you anything

190
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: to put you in a weird spot. The just talk

191
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: to us because this experience is hard and it's weird,

192
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: and like you said, for the first few weeks, you

193
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: go from being I guess you're never that normal you're

194
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: a race car driver, which is pretty cool in itself. Um,

195
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: and I was just a software salesman. But you go

196
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 1: from being a very normal guy to being the Bachelor

197
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: and having all of these women in front of you

198
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: and and all these emotions to kind of handle and manage. Honestly,

199
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: are you like, how hard was it for you? I

200
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: think the first few weeks and just sort of seeing

201
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: who's there for you, who's who's really genuine. I think

202
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: that was the biggest thing for me. I think it's

203
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: just been the show is completely different than when I

204
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: was on it five years ago. I think it's a

205
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: lot larger. I think there's more that goes into it.

206
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: Obviously being the Bachelor, you know you're running the dates. Um,

207
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: you know you sort of you need you see what's

208
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: going on behind the scenes with how many producers are involved,

209
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: and I think that's a little overwhelming effirst. So for me,

210
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,439
Speaker 1: it's more about getting a connection started with women that

211
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: I felt that were very genuine. You know, some of

212
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: those choices might have not been popular I think those

213
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: first few weeks, but you know, those are the people

214
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: that I connect with. UM. But yeah, it's difficult. I

215
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: think there's just so much more to think about. You know.

216
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 1: I think that first night, I remember, you know, being like, Okay,

217
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: I have to stand on these marks, and if you know,

218
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: if I'm talking to someone and their shade in their face,

219
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 1: I have to sort of position myself so the lights

220
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: in their face so that you know, they can pick

221
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: that up on camera. And if those things threw me,

222
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 1: I think those things I was thinking way too much

223
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 1: about the little nuances about being the bachelor and and

224
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 1: not just enjoying the conversation and being loose. And so

225
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: that's took probably a week, and then then I was fine.

226
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: It was just that first night obviously, with all those

227
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: nerves and and those little things that I just think about.

228
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: Those are things that I wasn't really comfortable with. Um.

229
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: You know, I'm going to ask you a few things

230
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: to your bachelor the Bachelor, and then I want to

231
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: throw over to Ashley to kind of talk about this season.

232
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 1: But for the for the next few minutes, I really

233
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: want to are just kind of let the listeners out

234
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: there in the sands of the Bachelor no, um kind

235
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: and kind of dive into the things you just said,

236
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 1: because it is hard you do. I mean, the things

237
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: that aren't shown is you are a normal guy who

238
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: was who's really trying to find love. And I think

239
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 1: that's what I admire most about you is even even

240
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 1: myself I throw in this cat where I can tell

241
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: that you are passionately trying to pursue somebody just spend

242
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: a life with. But at the same time, there is

243
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,719
Speaker 1: a show being made, and so you're dating and you're

244
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: carrying a show, and so you do have to keep

245
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: in the back of your head, Okay, I'm putting shade

246
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: on this person. It's not gonna look get on camera,

247
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: let me turn, but also stay involved in the conversation.

248
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: Also stay aware of what's being said. That isn't an

249
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:42,839
Speaker 1: easy transition to get into. And I think all of

250
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: us need to give you a little great because you

251
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 1: took some years off. For me, it was a little

252
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: easier because I went from one season to the next. Yeah,

253
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,719
Speaker 1: I think that's you know, that's why that's that progression.

254
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 1: It's a little easier just because you know you're sort

255
00:12:55,960 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: of especially you know for the whim in. I think

256
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,319
Speaker 1: it's a lot easier too, because you know the bachelor

257
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: wrath in March and then they're straight into filming. So

258
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 1: for the bachelorat that is um, and that is you

259
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: did you did it used to being in front of camera,

260
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: you used to the whole environment, and then when you're

261
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: taken away from that and five years are moved, it

262
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: is a bit of a shock to the system at first.

263
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: But I think the experience, you know, is incredible, and

264
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:23,839
Speaker 1: I think it just took me a little while to

265
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: warr onto it. It is one of the coolest things

266
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: that anybody can ever do and one of the most

267
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: beneficial things for a lot of reason. And I hope, um,

268
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: and tell me if I'm wrong for you, you are happy, correct,

269
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 1: And so we can hear this conversation with the knowledge

270
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: that you have said, I am happy and whatever that means. Correct. Yeah,

271
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: I'm so happy. I'm so happy. Good, I'm really so.

272
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: That's that's the best part where Astley and I are

273
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: thrilled for you. My final thing, I want to ask

274
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: you about my biggest critique of you, and I want

275
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: to talk to you about it, man to man. Okay, UM,

276
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: all right, and I think it's I think it is.

277
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: One of the hardest things about being a bachelor is

278
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: you are also now responsible to allow everybody to feel welcomed, everybody,

279
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 1: to feel um cared for, everybody, to feel valued. And

280
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: I know you said at multiple times that you're really

281
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: thankful that the women showed up to try to date you,

282
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: and that's a huge deal to you. Um. I feel

283
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: like it's been very clear watching the show who you're

284
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: into and who you're not into, you feel like and

285
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: and as a result, it's a critique of mine, because

286
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: not that you should lead anybody on. I don't, there's

287
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: a good balance there. But the women that you weren't

288
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: into and that you said goodbye to, I knew way beforehand,

289
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: and I think they even could tell which effort you

290
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: how it just explained that to me. How was that

291
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: for you? Yeah, No, I'm watching it back, I see

292
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: that too. I think that's something that I wasn't really

293
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: aware of. I think that I am the type of

294
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: person that I definitely wear my heart on my sleeve.

295
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: And I think I have a really bad poker face,

296
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: Like if I feel a certain way, it's gonna show

297
00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: my body language. And that's something that is just very

298
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: apparent now watching it back that I wasn't really aware of.

299
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean that's just who I am. You know,

300
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: I'm yea. If I'm uncomfortable, or if I'm in a

301
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: situation where I don't feel like it's it's going anywhere,

302
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: then then it's hard for me to act a different way.

303
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: I feel like, what's interesting is that my biggest critique

304
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: of you so far has been what Bend just mentioned.

305
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: And it just seems like in an awkward situation, you

306
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: sometimes make it more awkward. But the funny thing is

307
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: I'm basically critiquing myself because I would have been the

308
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: exact same way. I cannot hide what I'm feeling, and

309
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: I can't pretend to like someone that I don't. And

310
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: I think there's you know, watching it back, Yes, I

311
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: do see that, but I think it'd be a lot

312
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: worse if I could just put on a faith and

313
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: and and act as as though I was into that person.

314
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: I think because I'm doing in a more natural way,

315
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: it's letting them know that right away. And I don't know,

316
00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's hard, but it's that's just the

317
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: way I am. I guess. I I honestly, I think

318
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: it makes complete sense. I watch it, and I and

319
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: I see how you're handling situations. I do think there

320
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: is a level there where you could maybe make the

321
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: women that you are interested in feel a little more like, Hey,

322
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: I'm happy you're here. But again, you're genuine and you're authentic,

323
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: and as I watched the show, I'm learning to see

324
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: you in that life. You know, I didn't know you

325
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: on on week one, actually didn't know you on week one,

326
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: and so we're the question we always asked was who

327
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: is are? We don't know him yet, And what I'm

328
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: seeing is the R that I watched in week four

329
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: is the R that is authentic and genuine. And now

330
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: I can honestly say for the first time, I am

331
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: really excited to see how this plays out for you.

332
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: And I mean that I am excited because I know

333
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: what it's like to be in this situation, and I

334
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: know how good it can be, and I know how

335
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: great the final results can be for for you, and

336
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: I want this to in in the best way possible.

337
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: So I'm happy you're happy. And with that, I'm gonna

338
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: throw it over to ask you for a little bit

339
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,800

Speaker 1: the conversation. I really wanted it. We Yeah, I think

369
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: we had a lot of times when we sat down

370
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: and it just I could feel that there was like

371
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: a disconnect and you know, she was so beautiful, and

372
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,800

383
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,440

384
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: Oh my god, after every conversation they like, I love that.

385

Speaker 1: tough one, good, like a million times good one. That's

387
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: definitely my top ten drink of choice. What did the

388
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: what did they get you when you were the bachelor?

389
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: What was your drink to go to? Usually red wine

390
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 1: and if h if that was kind of after if

391
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: I needed to stay awake, then the red boll vodka. Okay,

392
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: if this was your last meal and you could eat

393
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: Actually one time, sorry, in around one of the producers,

394
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 1: Sam created a new drink. It's called the sam Gria,

395
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: and it's red wine with red bulls in that and

396
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: it sounds terrible. It sounds terrible, but try it. It's

397
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: actually really good. Alright. Did you drink a lot as

398
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 1: the bachelor? Like you have a tattoo? Um, I wouldn't say.

399
00:20:55,240 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 1: I would say that I drank pretty regularly, but not

400
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 1: a lot. Maybe one or two drinks in the evening

401
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: meal at the time to really enjoy drink because you're

402
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: having these conversations and you're and you obviously want to

403
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: be as sharp as you can and so it's just

404
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: it's different than being on the other side of things,

405
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: where you can have a conversation with that person and

406
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 1: then you can relax a little bit and have some

407
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: drinks and hang out with everybody else. I think as

408
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: the bachelor you just have to be way more cognizant

409
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 1: and you know, keep it to a few drinks in

410
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: an evening. Yeah, I agree, I never really did. I

411
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: don't want the energy either, not just during this anyway. Sorry,

412
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,120
Speaker 1: lets you wake up really early and yeah, I mean,

413
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: you know how it is you're on this schedule. That's

414
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: kind of insane. Yeah, while all right, all right, what's

415
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 1: your last meal? You can be as elaborate and have

416
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 1: as many dishes as you'd like, oh my last meal?

417
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: Oh man um or just a regular binge eating Sunday. Yeah,

418
00:21:54,640 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: it would be like pizza with ice cream with uh

419
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: with like paramsey afterwards, and then like a cappuccino. Good

420
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: I am. I'm a big please guy. Which girl was

421
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: best dress on night one? Who I would say? I

422
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: would say Crystal, just because the red really popped out

423
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: and as you bring up Crystal and then I was

424
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: just going to move on to the reds talk about

425
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: for a second. Wait, my most important question about Crystal.

426
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 1: What are you thinking are watching now seeing her behind

427
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: the scenes interviews and with the girls. Is it changing

428
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 1: the experience you had one on one with her. You

429
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: talked about this in your blog this week, right, Yeah,

430
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,959
Speaker 1: I meant you know that blog he wrote, Right, al,

431
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: So I would say that walking it back, it is,

432
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously a whole different experience. I'm getting to

433
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: see so much more of Crystal and what that whole

434
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: situation is. And I think this episode and tallow you

435
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 1: kind of see some cracks in our relationship, and next

436
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: week it really sort of kind of blows up and

437
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: some draw that happens. But you know, it's it's just

438
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: different now watching it back, I'm getting to see all

439
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 1: these conversations that I didn't know that we're happening. I'm

440
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 1: getting to see the I t M s where they're

441
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,959
Speaker 1: chatting about me, and it's fun, but it's also a

442
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: little bit shocking and revealing at time. So now, now,

443
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: do you think that her voice is sexy or annoying

444
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: watching it back? I mean I don't think it's that bad.

445
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: I know you guys think it's terrible, but I I

446
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: often found it to be, but she does carry out

447
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 1: the vout quite long on the show. And if you

448
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: guys are engaged, like, there's no hard feelings here for us,

449
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 1: we want to be a big fan of Crystal. So

450
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: just so you know, if you guys are happy together,

451
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: and you're happy couple right now, just know we're huge

452
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: Crystal things. I'm quite certain they're not. Also, you just

453
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 1: said it implodes next week, so but it explodes, but

454
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 1: you know that doesn't mean you can get over that,

455
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: you know. So I think sometimes a little conflict in

456
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 1: the show, I will have to say, it's good if

457
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,120
Speaker 1: you get through things together. Yeah, I mean, I think

458
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: she's going to stick around a little bit longer than

459
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: just next week. I'm torn on Crystal because there are

460
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: things I like in things that are annoying me. But

461
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: did she posted on her Instagram that she's, you know,

462
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: getting bullied and stuff like that, which I get. That's

463
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: it's really hard when people are mean to you on

464
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: the internet or mean talking about you. But I don't

465
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 1: know she's setting herself up a little bit for it

466
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 1: because she is a bit sort of condescending to the

467
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: other girl. Yeah, but I think she's you know, I

468
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 1: think that's the thing. I think, looking back on it,

469
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,919
Speaker 1: it is you're seeing it from a different perspective. But

470
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: our relationship at this point in the show is going

471
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: really good. You have some conflict next week, but you know,

472
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: ultimately she wasn't there too. I know it's so cliche

473
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: to say I didn't come here to make friends, but

474
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 1: put she put our relationship first, and that caused some conflicts.

475
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: And I think that there is something to be said

476
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: about something that kind of fights for the time that

477
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: you get together because you do have such limited time. Well,

478
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: let's talk about the rose ceremony from this week, because

479
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: I'm all for it. She can grab you first, she

480
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: can grab you twenty times during dates and parties and

481
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 1: all that. I don't care. That's fine, But I did

482
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 1: think it was a little unfair to stop the rose

483
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 1: ceremony to have time with you, because all I thought was, well,

484
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 1: don't they all want to do that? Yeah? That actually

485
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: took me back, you know, I don't I don't really

486
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: know why she did that, to be honest, because that

487
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 1: week wasn't a hard week for us. You know, our

488
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 1: our group date was really really fun, and she was

489
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: on that little group with me, during the during the

490
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: high and so I just feel like she saw other

491
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: relationships forming and she had that early one on one,

492
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: so it's probably hard for her to really adapt to

493
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 1: being on the true page. Um, you know what, Ari,

494
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: it's so weird. Kareem Abdul Jabbar, he has a Bachelor

495
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: blog each week. I think he talks, Yeah, isn't that

496
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: so weird? He's a he's a big reporter. He doesn't

497
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: a big fan, but he like really picks it apart

498
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: culturally and psychologically. So he brings up Crystal and says

499
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: she's not a villain for trying to put her relationship first,

500
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 1: because you can always say I'm kind of just playing

501
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 1: devil's advocate and saying what he said. He goes, she's

502
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: not putting the relationship for hers, she's putting winning first.

503
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 1: What do you think about that? And did you have

504
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 1: any fears about that? Just girls wanting to win and

505
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: not necessarily wanting to be with you. Yeah, And I

506
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 1: think with time too, you can really realize you know

507
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 1: who's there for you and who's there to just be

508
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:02,679
Speaker 1: there and be on the show and to see how

509
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 1: far they can get. I felt like there was some

510
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: of that it's tough. You know, it's really hard to

511
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 1: really see who's there for you. I think that's one

512
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 1: of the most difficult things. Also too, it's like you

513
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: you brought up the bullying stuff, and I do hate

514
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: seeing that, you know. I hate how people are so

515
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 1: cruel online. You know. I'm obviously I took the role.

516
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: I knew that it was going to be a part

517
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 1: of it, and I feel like some of the women

518
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: on the show, they come on for this experience, and

519
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,959
Speaker 1: I just feel so unfair to really bully them online.

520
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,239
Speaker 1: I just hate seeing that. No, But what's interesting is

521
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 1: there's such a fine line between what people interpret as

522
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: bullying and what is funny. Like Saturday Night Live, because

523
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: people I got a lot of emails because people didn't

524
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: think I was nice enough to analyze because I made

525
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: so much fun of her for her bumper card drama

526
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: and her dog fears, and so I got all these

527
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 1: hateful emails. Except she was over at my house for

528
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: dinner that night, so she was cool, do you know

529
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So sometimes you're just the show is

530
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: made for us to make half come on, Yeah, you

531
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,719
Speaker 1: have a sense of humor about it, and like a

532
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: sense of sense, and then you have to have like

533
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 1: a be self aware about it. You have to be

534
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 1: self aware about yourself. Oh and you learned so much

535
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: about yourself walking your help back. I say so many things.

536
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 1: I'm like, really, wow, I say that way too much.

537
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: But I have I have a list on my phone

538
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,640
Speaker 1: are of statements that you've made. I know it's like,

539
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And another one is I

540
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: love it. There's a lot of lights going on too.

541
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: There's a lot of like like like like like like

542
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: I've noticed that myself lately. I really need to cut

543
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: down on the likes. I'm really trying to make a

544
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: cognitive effort to do. So, Hey, Ari, this is an

545
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: interesting question. I just came up at the top of

546
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: my head um from day one. Okay, So for me,

547
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: it's just like so I'm sorry it's not on my

548
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: list here, but it's just super random. So my first

549
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: week on The Bachelor with Cris Souls, I put myself

550
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: in his top three. I thought, like the attention I

551
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: was getting in just the order of the roses. I

552
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: was like, I think he likes me in his top

553
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: three or four. I quickly fell from that like boom,

554
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: But I want to know if the three girls that

555
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: you were most concentrated on and thought that you were

556
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: going to really have something with in week one ended

557
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: up being the same girls that you felt that way

558
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: about midway through and then towards the end. Did it change?

559
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: Did your favorites change? Yes, they change for sure. Um

560
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: and Lisa's actually in my top three the first night WHOA, Yeah,

561
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: she was. She was very I could tell she really

562
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: wanted to settle down. I could tell that she was

563
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: serious about finding someone. She's very genuine. And then I

564
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: think everything sort of got to her and I think

565
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: she put a lot of pressure on herself and I

566
00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: think that affected her negatively and that really you know that,

567
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: I think the whole experience is very difficult for her.

568
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: But she was in my top three, and so you know,

569
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: that's one of those relationships that obviously didn't pan out.

570
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: But um, yeah, it was very interesting looking back because

571
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: I wrote down at every roads ceremony sort of you know,

572
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: the order of of where my feelings were at, let's say,

573
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 1: in the house, and you know how I was feeling

574
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: going into the roads ceremony, and so yeah, reading that

575
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: back was very interesting because there's a whole different. I

576
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: painted a whole different picture that first evening to how

577
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: it ended and with long haired Becca on the Rachel

578
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: Zoe date, my notes on that were, I am pretty

579
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: comfortable watching them. It was a comfortable date with like

580
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: minimal awkwardness. Yeah, she You know, the reason I picked

581
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: her for the first day is because our first conversation

582
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 1: it flowed really nicely and I could have sat there

583
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: for a lot longer than, you know, the ten or

584
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes that we talked, and I knew that I'd

585
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: be very comfortable on that date just because she was

586
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: so confident in front of the cameras and she really didn't,

587
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 1: you know, left the experience sort of um make her

588
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: nervous at all, and so I needed somebody who was

589
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: like that to sort of help me through the first

590
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: couple of days. And so that first date was selected

591
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: just based on the fact of how comfortable I was

592
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: around here. That's awesome. Hey, hey, Ari, did you keep

593
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: a bachelor diary? Speaking of you writing a list before

594
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: he draws ceremony? Yeah, no, I tried to write stuff down,

595
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: but it was so hard because the days are really long.

596
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: So some of the first few weeks are it was

597
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: pretty smart. But yeah, for sure, No, I wrote everything

598
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: now kind of look back on things. I love reading

599
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: my bachelor diary. It's so embarrassing. It's like I knew

600
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: him for you know, ten days, and I was like,

601
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: I really picture myself marrying him. I'm not surprised actually

602
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 1: that you fell head over heels for crystals. Um. I

603
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: want to just I don't know, man, the man here.

604
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 1: We have a lot of listeners out there that email us, UM,

605
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 1: really deep and heartfelt questions about relationships and about life. UM,

606
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: my last thing, and a lot of our listeners have

607
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: these vulnerabilities and insecurities that they expressed with us, and

608
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: they kind of live by kariously through it feels like

609
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: the bachelor to kind of relate with people and relate

610
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: with the bachelor. What were some of your biggest insecurities

611
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 1: going through this experience? Go back, you know, the few

612
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: months to when this was filming and when you were

613
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 1: dating and when you were thinking about you know, the process.

614
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 1: What what were what were the hardest things going through

615
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: your head? Oh? Man, Um, well, I think right off

616
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 1: the bat, like, no secret, I think people were maybe

617
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: expecting a different bachelor, So I had to navigate that

618
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: I had to see, you know, who was there for

619
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: me and who there was generally you know, who was interested.

620
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: I think I had just port of let's let's post here.

621
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: Was that hard for you? Are? I mean? Hard? Okay,

622
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,239
Speaker 1: so hard? I mean think about you know, I know

623
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: that it seems way back up a little bit. I

624
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: feel like in the last five years, you know, you

625
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: guys have all built a relationship together because there's more

626
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 1: than just two shows, there's three four shows now a year.

627
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: Everyone in Bachelor Nation sort of hangs out together. They

628
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 1: all know each other. So when I was chosen, I

629
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: really hadn't kept touch with anyone in recent years in

630
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: the franchise, so I really felt like an outsider. And

631
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: and I still feel that way. I mean, if I

632
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,479
Speaker 1: kind of read into the social media comments and I

633
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 1: kind of feel like, you know, sometimes everyone's kind of

634
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: getting up on me a little bit just because they

635
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: don't know me. So they're trying to get to know

636
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: me through the show, which is highly edited, and they're

637
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 1: showing you know, more of the drama and obviously less

638
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: of the romance from the beginning. And so for me,

639
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: like going back to that time September when we were

640
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: started shooting. I had that first evening and I was,

641
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 1: you know, obviously very nervous because I was worried that

642
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: people would be disappointed that it was me. You know,

643
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: that's you know, that's a very real thing. Um So,

644
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: you know, I had to sort of prove myself in

645
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: a way and sort of let the women that were

646
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 1: there know who I was. And and it was a

647
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: little refreshing in a way because since I didn't watch

648
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: my season, or many of them didn't, they had a

649
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: fresh perspective on me. And so that was cool too

650
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: because I felt like it allowed me to get to

651
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 1: know them more naturally. Um souse them having a preconceived

652
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: notion of me, and you know things that are written

653
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 1: the media that they're always kind of hurtful to hear.

654
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I let those things kind of slide off

655
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 1: my back pretty easily. But you know, going into it,

656
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: I think I had to combat a lot of bad

657
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: reputation just because I'm a man in my mid thirties

658
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: that isn't married. But hey, you know, it's you know,

659
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna date and you're gonna have failed relationships, and

660
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,839
Speaker 1: not every relationship is going to end well and I

661
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 1: think you just need to know who you are and

662
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 1: be confident in what you want. And then that's sort

663
00:34:55,120 --> 00:35:00,040
Speaker 1: of how I entered the whole experience. Man, I I

664
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: think that is spot on. I love that you you

665
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: shared how difficult it was for you, because I know

666
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: the insecurity that I felt. One of my biggest was

667
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 1: I thought I was the wrong guy for him, Like

668
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: I was confused, like, how are they going to choose

669
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: me to be the bachelor? And for you, it was

670
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,280
Speaker 1: very public that you weren't supposed to be the bachelor,

671
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:22,359
Speaker 1: and yet you carried that role and you carried it well. Uh.

672
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 1: And we're in week four and I think the best

673
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:26,720
Speaker 1: is yet to come from you. I want to switch

674
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:30,479
Speaker 1: gears a second here, because this might be speaking on

675
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:34,800
Speaker 1: everything you just talked about, speaking on the bowling part, uh,

676
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:36,879
Speaker 1: and also relating it back to what people are saying

677
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: on social media. There's one thing that's really rubbed me

678
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 1: the wrong way and and and one thing that I

679
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:44,280
Speaker 1: have gotten very protective of you about is a tweet

680
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:48,359
Speaker 1: by Jeff Holme. Um, can you share it with me

681
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 1: a little bit of the insight as much as you

682
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 1: feel comfortable about what is going on there? Because he

683
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: said something that was really difficult for you to kind

684
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: of combat on Twitter as soon as you were right now. Yeah,

685
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 1: I mean I think Jeff and I haven't spoken since

686
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,399
Speaker 1: Sean's wedding. I think that was four or five years

687
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 1: ago now, and obviously a lot happened in that amount

688
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 1: of time. I don't really feel like he knows the

689
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 1: man who I am, and I don't know why the

690
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 1: ship has been thrown. Um. I could, I could really

691
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 1: dive into this, but you know, he lives with Robbie.

692
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 1: He's still hangs in the bachelor's circle of friends, which

693
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 1: is fine. I just don't see why he had to

694
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,360
Speaker 1: come after me and be so negative, you know, when

695
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 1: his own relationship didn't work out. Um, I feel like

696
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: it's unfair to judge, and I feel like I feel

697
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: more disappointed than anything, because I don't really feel like

698
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:52,879
Speaker 1: it's a warranted um attack on me that I really

699
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: don't get. Good. Yeah, I was gonna say, you get it.

700
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 1: I mean, is it coming from any place? No? I

701
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 1: think you know, we had John's wedding, you know, he

702
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 1: he brought a date. I felt like he handled the

703
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: situation badly with his date, and he didn't treat that

704
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: person right, and I spoke out and then he got

705
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 1: a new a fight with myself and a few of

706
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:18,720
Speaker 1: the producers, and and that was the last time we talked.

707
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 1: And I just felt like, in the moment, I had

708
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 1: to stick up for that person that he brought instead

709
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 1: of him, and I felt like he thought that I

710
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 1: chose the wrong side, But in actuality, I just felt

711
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,399
Speaker 1: like he was treating that person in a negative way.

712
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 1: So and so I don't know, you know, I think

713
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 1: there maybe there's a little bit of jealousy. That's what

714
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:40,799
Speaker 1: I was gonna say. It seems like a lot of

715
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 1: this is coming from jealousy. There has got to be

716
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 1: a reason why he hasn't been on any spinoff shows,

717
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: especially since I do believe that it's something he's desired. Yeah,

718
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. I can't speak to that.

719
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 1: I can only speak to my experience. But um, yeah,

720
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 1: I haven't talked to him so long, so it was

721
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:03,919
Speaker 1: surprising to hear. But well, you know, bachelor mystery right there.

722
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean to sum it up, man, I

723
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 1: I know that we've critiqued you. We will continue to

724
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,839
Speaker 1: critique you on this podcast. I'm gonna warn you now. Um,

725
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 1: it's it's all. It will never be hopefully attacked on

726
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 1: you personally because I don't know that and we don't

727
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: know how this goes. Like we talk about we have

728
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: to talk about what we see, not about like what

729
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 1: we can guess happen behind the scenes, Like we we

730
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 1: know that there's probably more to this, but we have

731
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:32,320
Speaker 1: to talk from a fans point of view. Yeah, totally.

732
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 1: And if you know, if I say dumb things fun camera,

733
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: then you're more than welcome to may fun of me.

734
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 1: We don't Yeah, we don't need your permission. Are we

735
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 1: got a podcast bill on making money too young for

736
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,359
Speaker 1: a thirty six year old? Wait? Wait, Ben has one

737
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: more thing to say, and then and then we're gonna

738
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 1: get into that, all right. I just I really do

739
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,320
Speaker 1: want to say this to you. I think it is

740
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 1: incredibly inappropriate for anybody when you get announced there's something

741
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,080
Speaker 1: that is really going to be a lot of a

742
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,320
Speaker 1: good experience for your hopefully one I think it's inappropriate

743
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 1: for anybody to speak out and at that moment throtiated

744
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,439
Speaker 1: you because you can't defend yourself. And I think that's

745
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 1: the thing that hurts me the most, being that is

746
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 1: I know what it feels like, UM, when your character

747
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 1: is in question and you feel like there's no reason why,

748
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 1: and yet you're you're now in a public spotlight that

749
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,400
Speaker 1: everybody's talking about it, and you can't answer to everybody.

750
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 1: And so I hope, I hope the listeners this podcast

751
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 1: defend you and also understand, um that any critique of you,

752
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 1: this is a show, but you're doing it in an

753
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 1: authentic way, and and we I want to have your

754
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 1: back in this because I think that was incredibly unfair

755
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: and I want to say that publicly it's ridiculous. So actually, uh,

756
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: you can finish out here with your you know, final

757
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 1: back to questions. Are you've been You've been great. Thanks

758
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 1: for coming on the day. Yeah, thanks to appreciate it. Hey, alright,

759
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 1: so we could not get through this interview without asking

760
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,280
Speaker 1: you probably the hottest topic going on around your season

761
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 1: right now, which is the fourteen year age difference between

762
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,760
Speaker 1: you and Becca. Have you dated anyone that young before?

763
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:03,879
Speaker 1: And how much of a big deal do you think

764
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 1: it is? Like, I actually think people are making too

765
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:08,359
Speaker 1: big of a deal. I think the fact that she's

766
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 1: twenty two is what makes this even a topic. I

767
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:16,400
Speaker 1: think if she was thirty and you were forty four,

768
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 1: no one had to really think about it, right, Yeah, totally.

769
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 1: I think you know, it did shock me that she

770
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:26,800
Speaker 1: was twenty two. Um, and I think you see on

771
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:32,839
Speaker 1: the episode that pretty tormented on. Yeah, definitely, reaction did

772
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 1: not hide your reaction, did not hide how you felt,

773
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 1: which I like. I know, I really expected her to

774
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,319
Speaker 1: be in her mid mid twenties. And even though that

775
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,319
Speaker 1: she she looks so young, just because the conversation with her,

776
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 1: we always have these really great conversations. She's very intelligent,

777
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 1: she's very mature, and she really read me really well.

778
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:58,400
Speaker 1: She seems to really know a lot about me in

779
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,959
Speaker 1: those few conversations that we had, and so I always

780
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:04,879
Speaker 1: really connected her. So when she said to his pointy two,

781
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 1: it was a really there was a real inner conflict

782
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:09,879
Speaker 1: there for sure, But I couldn't deny the fact that

783
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 1: there was a lot of feeling towards her, and at

784
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 1: that point in the show, I was probably mostly the

785
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:20,720
Speaker 1: most connected to her, and that made things really difficult

786
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 1: for me. You had to love the way she challenged you,

787
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:26,959
Speaker 1: and she was always like you I'm I'm what you want,

788
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: because you know, I don't need you. Yeah, I know,

789
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: because she said things like that all the time. Or

790
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 1: she would, you know, we'd have a I'd be like,

791
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 1: we can't just you know, we can't just sit here

792
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 1: and kiss. We need to have it. You need to

793
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 1: have a great conversation. And she would say, we'd have

794
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,439
Speaker 1: this conversation and then she was like, okay, we've done.

795
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 1: Now you get kiss me yet. You know, she'd say

796
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:48,439
Speaker 1: little things like that. I like, Jesus, do you think

797
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 1: she's too young to be the bachelorette? Um, if you know,

798
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 1: you don't choose her, of course, let's just play the game. Yeah,

799
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:01,800
Speaker 1: I mean that's kind of yeah, that's a little further

800
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: discussion further down the line. But um, yeah, she's just

801
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 1: very bold she is. And you know that was very

802
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 1: copy to me. My only hard part with hers. I

803
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:13,280
Speaker 1: like her and I think the age difference is fine.

804
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,839
Speaker 1: It's just when she talks about like her past relationships,

805
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 1: I keep thinking, like at the prom, like do you

806
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like, yeah, yeah, her longest relationship

807
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 1: with two to three years. I think at that point

808
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: eight grade, it's longer than mine. She was in eighth grade. Alright, Alright,

809
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:37,879
Speaker 1: that one we will get you off the hook on there,

810
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 1: but we will get you onto another topic that's also cringeworthy.

811
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure for you to talk about. Um. You went

812
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:46,880
Speaker 1: into this season known as the kissing Bandit that was

813
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 1: your ultimate skill, and now you're getting some flak about

814
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 1: it because I guess everybody's just like, oh, he kisses

815
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 1: every girl that way. Now, it doesn't have anything to

816
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 1: do with his emotional connection to her. He's just he's

817
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 1: just a very romantic, impassed and kisser. So how do

818
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: you respond to that? I mean, I think that was

819
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 1: what was so frustrating watching the second episode back UM

820
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 1: Repisode three, because it was all about the physicality and

821
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 1: about Analie's not getting her kiss. So I think it

822
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 1: was edited in a way that showed me kiss me everyone,

823
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 1: and it left out some really awesome conversations that we're

824
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 1: really pivotal to my experience, and that was that was disappointing.

825
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 1: But I think that's just part of watching the show

826
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:36,359
Speaker 1: that's that's edited like that, you know, you're you. It's

827
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 1: like reading the most amazing book you've ever read and

828
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:43,879
Speaker 1: then watching you know, the movie version, which is still

829
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:49,919
Speaker 1: good but leaves out a lot of really important details analogy. Yeah,

830
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 1: so that's that's like the thing that kills me when

831
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 1: I watched it, because I'm like, I wish they showed

832
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 1: the moment when this happened, and they instead they showed

833
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 1: you know me like, um, you know, making out with

834
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 1: someone in front of a fire, and I'm like, uh,

835
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 1: it kills me to watch it to trust me. Oh,

836
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 1: we we totally relate to that. Ben, And I know

837
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 1: about missing out on some of your favorite moments not

838
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:16,319
Speaker 1: making air, but I mean I think, yeah, yeah, I

839
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 1: am a passionate person and I do kind of lead

840
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 1: with some physicality. But I think you're going to see

841
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:26,720
Speaker 1: a lot more great conversation and it's going to shift

842
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 1: more towards that funny how girls are like getting on

843
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 1: your lap. Like we've never seen so much straddling so

844
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 1: early on in the season. Yeah, you didn't see that

845
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 1: with me. I kept ari I kept the two ft

846
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 1: on the floor rule for my season. There was no

847
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:54,799
Speaker 1: parallel lane. Well we do. Yeah, this is what it

848
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 1: is at week four. I can't wait to see one

849
00:44:56,640 --> 00:45:01,600

Speaker 1: of the year. I'm not kidding. I listened to the

901
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 1: song all the time. The first time I heard it,

902
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 1: it made me cheer up a bit. Brandon from Lanco,

903
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 1: Are you on the line? What's up here? I am?

904
00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 1: Hey Brandon, you are first musical artists who has performed

905
00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 1: on The Bachelor. Yeah, that's so cool that you've come

906
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:04,720
Speaker 1: on to talk to us. We need to know how

907
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:07,719
Speaker 1: do you like, do you know anything about the date

908
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:10,760
Speaker 1: before the actual couple walks in? Do you know which

909
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 1: girl is on the date? Do you know you know

910
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 1: is they're gonna dance? Tell us everything? Right? Yeah? Yeah?

911
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:20,279
Speaker 1: So they I mean kind of it worked as like

912
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:24,440
Speaker 1: that day we got there and uh, how was the day?

913
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: They let us know who it was gonna be um

914
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 1: and who who was on a date that day? They

915
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:31,400
Speaker 1: didn't really told us details. I think they gave us

916
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 1: some details of the date, but like nothing too specific.

917
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 1: I'm really honestly, they just didn't trust us to like

918
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 1: not spoil anything. Uh, but we knew that, you know,

919
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 1: we knew who was gonna be and we knew that,

920
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:44,960
Speaker 1: uh pretty much the way they started up. That was

921
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 1: cool because they set it up in the way that

922
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:50,279
Speaker 1: was natural for us as a fan, where um, we

923
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:52,359
Speaker 1: pretty much you know, they tweeted out that we're gonna

924
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 1: be uh, there's gonna be special gast Lanco and then

925
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 1: performing show and also they said it was gonna be

926
00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:00,600
Speaker 1: for for the Bachelor, and so it was a pretty

927
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:02,400
Speaker 1: naice environment and we just played a show and then

928
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:05,279
Speaker 1: they waited till the end for us to play. They

929
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 1: had to play Great slu story last. And then uh,

930
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:10,480
Speaker 1: at that moment, you know, they told us, all right,

931
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna walk in, there's the crowds part, they're gonna

932
00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 1: stand and it's gonna be a moment and pretty much

933
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:19,920
Speaker 1: it's all the way of their moment is on your shoulders,

934
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:21,960
Speaker 1: so don't screw it up now say that. But then

935
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:24,799
Speaker 1: you're like you're like, oh man, this is like the

936
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:27,680
Speaker 1: finality to their date. Um, all right, then no pressure.

937
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 1: Here we go. But it was fun. Is it as

938
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:32,480
Speaker 1: romantic as it seems on TV? Or is it a

939
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:35,480
Speaker 1: little more forced and awkward because you know, an entire

940
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:38,840
Speaker 1: crowd of hundreds of people are watching you interact with

941
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:42,359
Speaker 1: somebody you've just been on a first date with, right,

942
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I've seen honestly, they seem to be having

943
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:47,719
Speaker 1: fun with it. Um, it's it seemed naturally. I could

944
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:50,279
Speaker 1: imagine that would be offered for anyone. Um, even if

945
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:54,240
Speaker 1: it wasn't your first date that, um, that might be awkward.

946
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:55,960
Speaker 1: But I mean I think that you know, they're they're

947
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 1: at a US days, you just kind of be having

948
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 1: fun and and enjoying moment and you know, just just

949
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 1: kind of living in that moment. And there they seem

950
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:07,479
Speaker 1: to be pretty focused on each other. So that was cool.

951
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 1: And and the more natural they were, you know, the

952
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 1: more comfortable faded for for everyone else and us playing.

953
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:15,600
Speaker 1: So it was cool. Yeah. I think it's a huge

954
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:18,040
Speaker 1: deal that you came onto The show Man. It is special.

955
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:20,799
Speaker 1: I know how special it was for me. I had

956
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:22,440
Speaker 1: on my very first date of the season, I had

957
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:24,399
Speaker 1: one of my favorite singers of all time, amosus Lee

958
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:27,279
Speaker 1: there and It's something I'll never forget and I look

00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,239
Speaker 1: Brandon F. Lancas on on the phone right now. Uh.

00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:40,000

967
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 1: love story? Your story? Um? Yeah, it is, you know

968
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 1: what I mean, it's It's the cool thing about songwriting,

969
00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 1: and songwriting is really kind of a it's always a

970
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:03,799
Speaker 1: combination of both observations and experiences and and great as

971
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:05,400
Speaker 1: little story is kind of a perfect example of that

972
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:08,080
Speaker 1: for me. Uh, I grew up in a pretty small

973
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 1: town where you know a lot of my friends, uh

974
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:13,840
Speaker 1: with data high school and then where I am from

975
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 1: the Nissan factories there, and so a lot of times

976
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:18,360
Speaker 1: girls will go to college and the guys we'd just

977
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:20,040
Speaker 1: go straight to work at Niss round and then it

978
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:21,200
Speaker 1: was kind of that, you know, it was the girl

979
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:24,520
Speaker 1: wh come back during the summer or whatever it was, Um,

980
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 1: or you know, if she graduated, she gonna come back home.

981
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:28,640
Speaker 1: And so I kind of had that inspiration from it,

982
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:31,600
Speaker 1: just seeing my friends go through that, and then I

983
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:35,759
Speaker 1: am I'm recently married as a few months ago, thank

984
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:39,000
Speaker 1: you very much. And yeah, and uh, you know, but

985
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:41,400
Speaker 1: we my wife and we met in college. I mean

986
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:44,520
Speaker 1: I was still I was like nineteen, Um, so we

987
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:47,200
Speaker 1: met in school, but then she moved away and we

988
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:49,279
Speaker 1: you know, we broke up, took some time apart, and

989
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:53,000
Speaker 1: then in that time apart, kind of found um, you know,

990
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:56,080
Speaker 1: what what each other meant to uh, to the other person,

991
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 1: and and kind of saw how importantly were to each

992
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:01,879
Speaker 1: other and that you know, that person balances you out,

993
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:04,520
Speaker 1: and uh you know that we end up getting back together,

994
00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 1: and you know that was years ago now and now

995
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 1: we were married at the last September, so so you know,

996
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 1: it's kind of those two things. And and really I

997
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 1: think that the reason of the song Greatest Love Story.

998
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:17,000
Speaker 1: That's why I was really happy for to be you know,

999
00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 1: the successful single off our album is because it's it's

1000
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 1: a story. But really the point of the song is

1001
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:23,759
Speaker 1: just you know what my favorite line of the song is,

1002
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:25,440
Speaker 1: I was what you wanted here what I needed. We

1003
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:27,719
Speaker 1: could meet in between, because at the end of the day,

1004
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 1: I think that love is no matter how much you

1005
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 1: have in common, Love is two completely different people coming

1006
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:34,839
Speaker 1: together and uh, finding the strengths and weaknesses and each

1007
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:38,120
Speaker 1: other and kind of creating that balance and balancing each

1008
00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:40,480
Speaker 1: other out. And and love is compromised. And that's only

1009
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:42,520
Speaker 1: is what the song Greatest Stories about. So and I

1010
00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:45,239
Speaker 1: think it's a very appropriate song for anyone trying to

1011
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 1: find love or who knows about love. Brandon, what was

1012
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 1: cool about them using the Greatest Love Story as the

1013
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:53,239
Speaker 1: song is it kind of made it the theme of

1014
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:55,799
Speaker 1: the day. You know, CNN is talking about how she

1015
00:52:55,920 --> 00:52:58,520
Speaker 1: never really got to watch love stories with girls who

1016
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:02,480
Speaker 1: looked like her, and they kind of gave her in

1017
00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 1: one day, in one you know, segment of the show,

1018
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 1: her own little love story, right absolutely. And I think that,

1019
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:12,480
Speaker 1: you know, I think that um, well, you know, it

1020
00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:14,839
Speaker 1: can come across in so many different ways and and

1021
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:16,759
Speaker 1: uh and you know, I think that's the whole thing.

1022
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:18,360
Speaker 1: I think that, uh, you know, for her to be

1023
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 1: able to have a love story. I think everyone has

1024
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 1: a love story out there. And I think that if anything, um,

1025
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:26,880
Speaker 1: love is unpredictable and uh, and you never know exactly

1026
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:30,239
Speaker 1: one it's gonna happen, on how it's gonna happen. And hoptimately,

1027
00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:32,480
Speaker 1: you know, long term, you know, true love I think

1028
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:34,759
Speaker 1: really takes work. But uh, you know, the beginning of

1029
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:36,960
Speaker 1: any great love story is uh, you know, you never

1030
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 1: know who it can happen to, you when it can happen,

1031
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 1: and it's you know, it's something that anyone, any anyone

1032
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 1: could you can be right on the corner for anyone. Hey,

1033
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 1: what's next for Lanca? What's next? Alanca? Well, we just

00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:28,919
Speaker 1: playing a different arena. So it's gonna be a funny year.

1047
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:31,040
Speaker 1: You guys are killing it. We have one last question

1048
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:35,239
Speaker 1: for you before you go, Um, who should Ari pick?

1049
00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:37,960
Speaker 1: You know, are you a big Bachelor fan? Did you

1050
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 1: get to interact with him at all? Yeah? Yeah, no,

1051
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:42,879
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, we got to interact with a really Ari.

1052
00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:45,279
Speaker 1: He was a you know, really nice guy, really cooled

1053
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:47,440
Speaker 1: down to earth. Um, I will say that we got

1054
00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:50,400
Speaker 1: to interact like after we did our segment, after we

1055
00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:52,000
Speaker 1: there were a song. We know, we were all kind

1056
00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:54,560
Speaker 1: of a you know, after the crowd left everything they

1057
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:56,560
Speaker 1: were there and we were all kind of you know,

1058
00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:58,839
Speaker 1: kind of the end of the night for everyone. Um,

1059
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:02,840
Speaker 1: I will say he was a little preoccupied. Uh, he

1060
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 1: was still kind of on the state, but he was

1061
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:07,920
Speaker 1: really dumb and they were really nice. So I'll say this,

1062
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 1: The one thing I know about love is that it's unpredictable,

1063
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:13,960
Speaker 1: So I'm not even gonna start to make any predictions. Alright, alright,

1064
00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:18,400
Speaker 1: very smart man. Thanks for being with us, Brandon, absolutely

1065
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:20,840
Speaker 1: thanks for having me and for everyone listening. If you

1066
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:23,200

Speaker 1: I am a huge fan of their music and I'm

1073
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:41,360
Speaker 1: really mean at that Greatest Love Story I think is

1074
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:44,160
Speaker 1: one of the best songs UH in the last year,

1075
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 1: basically because such a relatable song and if you listen

1076
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 1: to it, I always seem to get sucked up in

1077
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:51,439
Speaker 1: the story that it's telling. And so I'm a huge

1078
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:53,960
Speaker 1: Lanco fan and I mean that. And so hopefully Amy,

1079
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:55,640
Speaker 1: you can hook me up with some Lanco tickets this

1080
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:58,879
Speaker 1: year somewhere. Well she could have, but she walked out

1081
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:04,000
Speaker 1: of the room. I'm sure you'll end up seeing them. Um,

1084
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:14,440
Speaker 1: it's something. It's something from Litote. So you may or

1085
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:17,560
Speaker 1: may not know. I am obsessed with Olivia Culpo. Like

1086
00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 1: you know, I've talked about this before. She's such a

1087
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:23,360
Speaker 1: girl crush well, she actually has a line with Litote

1088
00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:26,239
Speaker 1: and one of the shirts that I got from her line,

1089
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:28,839
Speaker 1: it's so freaking cute and it makes me feel really

1090
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:30,759
Speaker 1: good about myself because I kind of feel like a

1091
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:33,000
Speaker 1: little bit like Olivia in it. But anyway, I want

1092

Speaker 1: jumped right into Ari. We were right then the lanko.

00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:17,640
Speaker 1: Um this next segment, I need to hear you break

1125
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:21,439
Speaker 1: down this week's episode. Oh my goodness, gracious. Okay, So

1126
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:27,040
Speaker 1: in this episode, Ari went parasailing with Cenne. And you

1127
00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:29,000
Speaker 1: know what's funny is I want parasailing with my best

1128
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:33,000
Speaker 1: friend once and parasailing with her even was awkward. Because

1129
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:35,400
Speaker 1: you've never heard silence the way you've heard it when

1130
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:37,360
Speaker 1: you're up in the sky like that. Have you have

1131
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:40,640
Speaker 1: you been to parasailing? Yeah, it's it's it's wild. Hey,

1132
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:42,960
Speaker 1: and I'm glad you mentioned this news started here. I

1133
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:46,280
Speaker 1: want you to explain this whole episode with Here is

1134
00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:49,560
Speaker 1: my here's my big thought right now, coming out of before,

1135
00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:53,080
Speaker 1: CN should be the next I like seeing a lot.

1136
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 1: I think she's great. I think she fits so many

1137
00:58:56,880 --> 00:58:58,960
Speaker 1: of the categories that could be could be a bachelor.

1138
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:01,760
Speaker 1: I feel like her as a lead would even shine

1139
00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:05,840
Speaker 1: even more. I really, really, I believe that Tia and

1140
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:08,680
Speaker 1: CN are giving me the two most bachelor at vibes

1141
00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:10,440
Speaker 1: right now. All right, well, hopefully we get to know

1142
00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:13,160
Speaker 1: her more. But I got grade vibes from her from

1143
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:16,240
Speaker 1: this date. It was the first time we saw are

1144
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:18,280
Speaker 1: have a good sense of humor. This was what I'm

1145
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:20,360
Speaker 1: talking about. When he really seemed to start warming up

1146
00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:23,800
Speaker 1: an episode four, he seemed really comfortable with her. It

1147
00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:26,680
Speaker 1: was nice banter. It was fun banter, but also a

1148
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:31,200
Speaker 1: meaningful conversation. And then they had the land Code date.

1149
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:36,640
Speaker 1: They had a good dinner, very vulnerable conversation, and uh,

1150
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 1: I just like her. She's like relatable, she's pretty, she

1151
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:41,400
Speaker 1: seems really smart, she is really smart. She's from Yale

1152
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:46,960
Speaker 1: or is she the yell girl? Yeah? So yeah, yeah

1153
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:49,960
Speaker 1: it was yeah so then are The group date was

1154
00:59:50,080 --> 00:59:53,760
Speaker 1: like one of those adventure dates where they almost they

1155
00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:58,520
Speaker 1: almost drink their pee, which I honestly, I have to say,

1156
00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:01,240
Speaker 1: I probably would have drank my pea if it was

1157
01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:03,840
Speaker 1: going to really get his. I know they didn't actually

1158
01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:06,720
Speaker 1: drink me, but at first he was like, this is

1159
01:00:06,760 --> 01:00:09,080
Speaker 1: part of survival. You have to drink your own pea.

1160
01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:10,440
Speaker 1: And I think I would have done it if I

1161
01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:13,000
Speaker 1: were on the Bachelor, because you never know what they're

1162
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:15,160
Speaker 1: going to judge you for, you know how. Sometimes they're like, oh,

1163
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:17,560
Speaker 1: she was an adventurous to drink her own pea, so

1164
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:21,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna eliminate her. It's the weirdest thing ever. I

1165
01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:23,880
Speaker 1: think it's the grossest thing I've ever seen. I really

1166
01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:25,640
Speaker 1: thought she was going to I was gonna be so

1167
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:29,720
Speaker 1: upset with that's so funny. I would intentionally not drink

1168
01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:32,760
Speaker 1: my pea to be judged as the only smart one there.

1169
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:35,840
Speaker 1: I don't think it's okay. I know you can drink

1170
01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:40,400
Speaker 1: your pa and that doesn't alright, alright, they they looked

1171
01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:42,680
Speaker 1: crazy when they were about to drink it. I was like,

1172
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:46,080
Speaker 1: why is this happening? So I wonder how long that

1173
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:48,800
Speaker 1: hike was that they had to go on before finding

1174
01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:53,040
Speaker 1: that nice little cabin with the hot tub. Beautiful. It's

1175
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:56,240
Speaker 1: very nice, but also definitely the makings of a horror movie.

1176
01:00:56,280 --> 01:01:01,919
Speaker 1: Am I right? A whole bunch of bachelorettes walking around

1177
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:06,680
Speaker 1: and he's in Tahoe And it's not like they were

1178
01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:08,520
Speaker 1: in the wild tun dry. It was probably like a

1179
01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:12,480
Speaker 1: quarter mile and people everywhere, I know. So then Crystal

1180
01:01:12,560 --> 01:01:15,080
Speaker 1: was dramatic at that group date, which you know where

1181
01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 1: they were literally remember when we went to the concert, Yes,

1182
01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:22,439
Speaker 1: that's where they were. They were literally right there. Really,

1183
01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:24,800
Speaker 1: so they didn't go adventure much. I mean they did,

1184
01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:26,840
Speaker 1: but like it's all right there. They just went across

1185
01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:29,560
Speaker 1: the street up into the you know, ski hill of

1186
01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:33,200
Speaker 1: Heavenly Probably that's funny, right, They're like right there. And

1187
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:35,560
Speaker 1: then the second, the second one on one was with

1188
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:39,720
Speaker 1: Becca and again I really think she's cool girl, Like

1189
01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:41,480
Speaker 1: she's really cool, Like I kind of have a girl

1190
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:43,440
Speaker 1: crush on her. I wish I could be so sassy

1191
01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:46,880
Speaker 1: and just like feisty and smart and challenging like that.

1192
01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:50,000
Speaker 1: Everything that Becca is is the kind of thing that

1193
01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:53,880
Speaker 1: we get described as the ideal woman for a guy.

1194
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:59,120
Speaker 1: Like guys, guys love that, right, Ben, Well, I'm very checked.

1195
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:01,320
Speaker 1: I told you since we one, I thought Becca's banter

1196
01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:05,880
Speaker 1: was very very attractive. Yeah. Then she revealed her age

1197
01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:08,919
Speaker 1: and which Ari I loved. Aria's reaction, like we talked

1198
01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:11,439
Speaker 1: about before, it was so authentic. He was like, oh wait,

1199
01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:13,960
Speaker 1: that's creepy. Oh god, oh no, you're not ready to

1200
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:16,120
Speaker 1: get married. And I know that this has been something

1201
01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:17,920
Speaker 1: that we've talked about so much on the Almost Same

1202
01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:22,000
Speaker 1: As podcast about age and marriage, and everybody is like, oh,

1203
01:02:22,120 --> 01:02:24,040
Speaker 1: you know, you can be ready at any time. Some

1204
01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:26,520
Speaker 1: people already at twenty two, some people aren't ready until

1205
01:02:26,520 --> 01:02:29,200
Speaker 1: thirty two. What do you what do you think about

1206
01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:31,560
Speaker 1: Becca's age? Do you think it's creepy for him to

1207
01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:33,680
Speaker 1: be dating a twenty two year old or you just like, no,

1208
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 1: she's actually worry more mature than your average twenty two

1209
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:40,880
Speaker 1: year old. Actually, I feel very strongly about this. The

1210
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:43,120
Speaker 1: way she carries herself, the way she puts our in

1211
01:02:43,640 --> 01:02:47,040
Speaker 1: his place, her confidence that she showed tells me that

1212
01:02:47,080 --> 01:02:50,960
Speaker 1: she is ready um to today are to be with

1213
01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:53,480
Speaker 1: Ari or to be with a man that is intentionally

1214
01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:56,840
Speaker 1: trying to get married. I have zero qualms with Becca

1215
01:02:56,960 --> 01:02:59,920
Speaker 1: being interested or or claiming that she's ready for Mary.

1216
01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:02,960
Speaker 1: I think her age isn't an issue. I think she's

1217
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:07,120
Speaker 1: she's wise beyond her years, and she's the first person,

1218
01:03:07,640 --> 01:03:10,360
Speaker 1: first woman on the show, to really put Ari in

1219
01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:12,919
Speaker 1: his place, and she's done it consistently, and I think

1220
01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:16,439
Speaker 1: that's important in a relationship. So I am a big

1221
01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:18,480
Speaker 1: thing of Becca and are together. I just need to

1222
01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:20,640
Speaker 1: throw out there that twenty two I also said I

1223
01:03:20,640 --> 01:03:23,120
Speaker 1: was ready to get married and I wasn't. Well, now,

1224
01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:25,560
Speaker 1: looking back, I wasn't, but I totally thought I was.

1225
01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:29,960
Speaker 1: Then well, Becca, is not you actually? Okay? I know,

1226
01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:31,840
Speaker 1: but we're you ready to get married? At twenty two?

1227
01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:34,120
Speaker 1: You probably said the same thing. You probably were like, oh, yeah,

1228
01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:40,440
Speaker 1: I am. And then you probably you're twenty six, so

1229
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:46,520
Speaker 1: let's not be dramatic. You oh my god, you were

1230
01:03:46,560 --> 01:03:49,400
Speaker 1: twenty four going out? No, you were twenty six is

1231
01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:53,600
Speaker 1: the bachelor? You're twenty six is the bachelor? But you were?

1232
01:03:55,680 --> 01:03:57,840
Speaker 1: I know, I know you're right. You did. You turned

1233
01:03:57,880 --> 01:04:05,120
Speaker 1: it on the Bachelorette. Okay, little baby Ben look so young.

1234
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:10,840
Speaker 1: M all right, well that's interesting and uh oh yeah,

1235
01:04:10,840 --> 01:04:12,880
Speaker 1: but you know what, Becca's family, she comes from a

1236
01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:16,000
Speaker 1: family of people who have been married really early on,

1237
01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:19,280
Speaker 1: so it's just tradition. And maybe she truly is ready

1238
01:04:19,280 --> 01:04:21,920
Speaker 1: because it seems like successful marriages too. I mean, I

1239
01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:23,960
Speaker 1: think this is the thing. And and this whole episode

1240
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:27,240
Speaker 1: to me actually said one thing. It was kind of

1241
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:30,680
Speaker 1: setting the foundation for the storyline going into the rest

1242
01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:32,919
Speaker 1: of the of the season. It's, hey, Becca is young.

1243
01:04:33,080 --> 01:04:34,560
Speaker 1: Is she going to be ready for marriage or not?

1244
01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:36,040
Speaker 1: Is there going to be an issue there because we

1245
01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:38,840
Speaker 1: know how much ris into her. The other story is

1246
01:04:39,560 --> 01:04:41,760
Speaker 1: with Crystal. I think was set up was what in

1247
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:44,600
Speaker 1: the heck is she doing? Who is she? Is? She?

1248
01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:47,520
Speaker 1: Is she spot on in her pursuit of Ari? Is

1249
01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:50,480
Speaker 1: she confused? Is she going to rub the girls the

1250
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:53,840
Speaker 1: wrong way? And I think for me, this episode really

1251
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:55,800
Speaker 1: was the first one that I said, Okay, I'm getting

1252
01:04:55,840 --> 01:04:58,640
Speaker 1: into it. I didn't want this episode to stop because

1253
01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:01,280
Speaker 1: I was so invested in. I liked it too, I

1254
01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:04,280
Speaker 1: felt that really good. I really enjoyed this episode. I

1255
01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:06,680
Speaker 1: really just enjoyed Ari in this episode, and I know

1256
01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:08,720
Speaker 1: people are gonna be like, oh, I was just saying,

1257
01:05:08,880 --> 01:05:10,920
Speaker 1: because ours on the podcast today. I know I'm going

1258
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:14,680
Speaker 1: to get that deep, but you know what I mean

1259
01:05:14,720 --> 01:05:17,200
Speaker 1: it and you can go. And I wish I would

1260
01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:20,000
Speaker 1: have seen this episode and I had old notes so

1261
01:05:20,040 --> 01:05:22,320
Speaker 1: I could show you, guys, I like Ari in this

1262
01:05:22,400 --> 01:05:24,680
Speaker 1: episode before I knew he was gonna be on our podcast.

1263
01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:27,840
Speaker 1: But I know you guys don't believe me, So okay,

1264
01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:32,240
Speaker 1: moving on to something else that I really like. Yeah,

1265
01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:38,000
Speaker 1: moving on to yeah, okay. I'm really obsessed though with

1266
01:05:38,040 --> 01:05:40,320
Speaker 1: Ari in his choice of people to go home this week.

1267
01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:44,360
Speaker 1: He again, I'm not kidding you. Actually he chose two

1268
01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:48,320
Speaker 1: of my top four favorite people it's left to send home.

1269
01:05:48,400 --> 01:05:51,800
Speaker 1: He's done that every week. You and Arid do not

1270
01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:54,680
Speaker 1: have the same taste, not at all. I mean, I

1271
01:05:54,720 --> 01:05:57,240
Speaker 1: like I said, I I think he is great. She

1272
01:05:57,320 --> 01:05:59,880
Speaker 1: has a foul mouth on the on the young lady,

1273
01:06:00,200 --> 01:06:04,120
Speaker 1: she believes back and right um she and I think

1274
01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:08,440
Speaker 1: is unbelievable. I think she is radiating bachelor or radiating

1275
01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:11,160
Speaker 1: Ari's choice. I don't know, but I think she's awesome.

1276
01:06:11,560 --> 01:06:14,280
Speaker 1: But outside of those two, like two other favorites, guys,

1277
01:06:14,360 --> 01:06:16,400
Speaker 1: at home, Harry and I are not on the same

1278
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:21,840
Speaker 1: page here. Well, you could always date his rejects. Pause, Ashley,

1279
01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:25,720
Speaker 1: Let's let's refocus this. Do you do like that girl?

1280
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:30,040
Speaker 1: Let's let's refocus back. Let's have her on next week.

1281
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:36,640
Speaker 1: Let's read. Actually, let's let's finish this nice little recap episode.

1282
01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:38,640
Speaker 1: All right, let me get this straight. You like Ari,

1283
01:06:38,840 --> 01:06:41,880
Speaker 1: now you like this week's episode. You think he's spot on,

1284
01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:45,760
Speaker 1: his is his in his pursuit for these women. You

1285
01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:48,000
Speaker 1: are turning to be an Ari Liondyke fan, not just

1286
01:06:48,040 --> 01:06:50,920
Speaker 1: because he's on the podcast, but because of his behavior

1287
01:06:50,960 --> 01:06:53,080
Speaker 1: at the Bachelor this week. I think he's warming up.

1288
01:06:53,120 --> 01:06:55,200
Speaker 1: I don't want to say that he's a strong bachelor yet,

1289
01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:59,160
Speaker 1: but he's definitely warming up. Okay, you know, I do

1290
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:04,120
Speaker 1: think his like responses are really really get like weak,

1291
01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:05,800
Speaker 1: like it would mean. I think one of the girls

1292
01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:07,640
Speaker 1: is like pouring her her heart out to him, and

1293
01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:10,440
Speaker 1: he's like, I love it, Like you gotta talk a

1294
01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:14,920
Speaker 1: little bit her something. I know. I know, Well, you

1295
01:07:14,960 --> 01:07:17,160
Speaker 1: already told him this, so you know, I wish I

1296
01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:18,960
Speaker 1: could say he's going to learn from you, but it's

1297
01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:23,040
Speaker 1: already taped. Well, I hope he talked to Ali many times.

1298
01:07:23,560 --> 01:07:26,840
Speaker 1: One thing are can always do for for his women,

1299
01:07:26,880 --> 01:07:28,760
Speaker 1: including the woman that he is with today. He did

1300
01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:31,000
Speaker 1: claim that he is very happy, which makes me think

1301
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:33,000
Speaker 1: that he is with somebody is he can cook for him.

1302
01:07:33,160 --> 01:07:35,040
Speaker 1: That's a huge deal in relationship. I think it's a

1303
01:07:35,120 --> 01:07:37,600
Speaker 1: very romantic gesture. And one of the ways he can

1304
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:41,600
Speaker 1: cook is by using Blue Apron. Okay, cooking can be difficult,

1305
01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:44,560
Speaker 1: it can be expensive to eat well when you're busy

1306
01:07:44,600 --> 01:07:46,920
Speaker 1: and you don't want to cook. But luckily Blue Apron

1307
01:07:47,080 --> 01:07:50,440
Speaker 1: is making all of that easier. For eight weeks, Blue

1342
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:37,439
Speaker 1: On last week's episode, they took a private jet to

1343
01:09:37,479 --> 01:09:40,200
Speaker 1: Wine Country for their date and the girl got sent home.

1344
01:09:40,400 --> 01:09:42,439
Speaker 1: We see Ari put her in a limo, but let's

1345
01:09:42,439 --> 01:09:44,320
Speaker 1: be real. Are they going to put both of them

1346
01:09:44,360 --> 01:09:47,599
Speaker 1: on separate private jets back to l A or does

1347
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:50,479
Speaker 1: she have to hop on a Southwest flight or do

1348
01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:52,759
Speaker 1: they have to fly back on the same jet together

1349
01:09:52,880 --> 01:09:55,080
Speaker 1: after he demped her and the whole limo thing was

1350
01:09:55,120 --> 01:09:58,439
Speaker 1: just a formality awkward. I'd love to know your thoughts.

1351
01:09:58,840 --> 01:10:06,519
Speaker 1: Keep up the great work, and Sierra, thank you applause

1352
01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:12,040
Speaker 1: for reading. All right, Well, in my experience and Becca's

1353
01:10:12,040 --> 01:10:15,240
Speaker 1: are here, you can reaffirm this um. When Julian got

1354
01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:19,240
Speaker 1: Jillian had a plane date to San Francisco and then

1355
01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:22,080
Speaker 1: I don't even know if she had packed her stuff up,

1356
01:10:22,680 --> 01:10:25,919
Speaker 1: but what she do? She stayed overnight in San Francisco.

1357
01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:27,760
Speaker 1: I remember that she had a really fancy hotel in

1358
01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:30,920
Speaker 1: San Francisco. After being dumb by crystals and then did

1359
01:10:30,920 --> 01:10:33,559
Speaker 1: she fly back to l A to get her stuff

1360
01:10:33,600 --> 01:10:36,280
Speaker 1: and then fly back to d C. Well, I don't

1361
01:10:36,840 --> 01:10:42,840
Speaker 1: time out, time out. Who's there? Becca? Becca? Becca? Okay? Yes,

1362
01:10:43,479 --> 01:10:45,360
Speaker 1: so we do need to clarify. How do you feel

1363
01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:47,000
Speaker 1: how do you feel want people stealing your name on

1364
01:10:47,040 --> 01:10:48,880
Speaker 1: this show? Yeah, this is the first time there's been

1365
01:10:49,160 --> 01:10:51,880
Speaker 1: not only one Becca, but too many. There's been Ashley too,

1366
01:10:51,920 --> 01:10:54,479
Speaker 1: But I have no idea who she is. She's yeah,

1367
01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:57,400
Speaker 1: but I feel like Ashley's like a like a good

1368
01:10:57,600 --> 01:11:02,599
Speaker 1: common bachelors like Lauren. Yeah, you guys, I'm sorry interrupt.

1369
01:11:02,920 --> 01:11:06,160
Speaker 1: Nothing was funnier than on Saturday Night Live when they said,

1370
01:11:06,200 --> 01:11:11,120
Speaker 1: and he's going to pick from one of twelve laurens. Okay,

1371
01:11:11,120 --> 01:11:13,479
Speaker 1: so what is the plane situation? I feel like they

1372
01:11:13,479 --> 01:11:16,320
Speaker 1: do need to come back to l A. You have

1373
01:11:16,360 --> 01:11:17,800
Speaker 1: to pack your bags before you go on to one

1374
01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:19,720
Speaker 1: on one day? So that did she though I thought

1375
01:11:19,720 --> 01:11:22,080
Speaker 1: we had to pack up bags from an inside source

1376
01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:26,120
Speaker 1: that Lauren s that that suitcase was a fake. Yeah,

1377
01:11:26,160 --> 01:11:28,880
Speaker 1: that was a fake. Yeah, yeah, I mean I kind

1378
01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:32,120
Speaker 1: of remember everyone frantically trying to help we get and

1379
01:11:32,160 --> 01:11:34,719
Speaker 1: then we like put goodbye notes and in the pockets

1380
01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:38,519
Speaker 1: of everyone likes. It's a really emotional process when someone

1381
01:11:38,600 --> 01:11:41,880
Speaker 1: leaves on one on one day. Yeah. So anyway, I

1382
01:11:41,880 --> 01:11:43,840
Speaker 1: think to answer your question, they do have to come

1383
01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:45,400
Speaker 1: back to l A eventually, and I do think they

1384
01:11:45,439 --> 01:11:47,880
Speaker 1: have to debrief. You know, there's a lot to debrief

1385
01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:50,599
Speaker 1: after you get eliminated. Well, there's you talked to the

1386
01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:52,960
Speaker 1: therapist exactly where I was going to say, except I

1387
01:11:53,040 --> 01:11:54,840
Speaker 1: wasn't sure if I was allowed to say it. Oh

1388
01:11:54,880 --> 01:12:02,680
Speaker 1: I can't, but I've done. Wait, but Ben, did if

1389
01:12:02,760 --> 01:12:05,639
Speaker 1: you dump someone on a one did you? Did? You? Did?

1390
01:12:05,720 --> 01:12:13,120
Speaker 1: You never dumped dumped Emily Ferguson, Oh, that's right, I did. Yeah,

1391
01:12:13,160 --> 01:12:16,160
Speaker 1: it works. Uh, they do not fly back to l A.

1392
01:12:16,840 --> 01:12:19,639
Speaker 1: They fly back their home. No, they get a flight out,

1393
01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:23,519
Speaker 1: they fly back home. Um so no, not every single

1394
01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:27,400
Speaker 1: contestant goes back to l A after being eliminated. All right,

1395
01:12:27,800 --> 01:12:30,479
Speaker 1: this one's from Megan. Can we please talk about how

1396
01:12:30,479 --> 01:12:32,640
Speaker 1: are was eating on his date with Lauren s. I

1397
01:12:32,640 --> 01:12:35,240
Speaker 1: have never seen anyone eat on The Bachelor, and I

1398
01:12:35,240 --> 01:12:37,920
Speaker 1: think you could see the awkwardness in conversation because he

1399
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:40,200
Speaker 1: was eating. Do you guys usually eat food or just

1400
01:12:40,280 --> 01:12:44,360
Speaker 1: stare at and starve. Thanks Megan from Utah. Okay. So

1401
01:12:44,800 --> 01:12:48,559
Speaker 1: in my in my experience, I actually enjoy eating on dates.

1402
01:12:48,600 --> 01:12:51,160
Speaker 1: I think it makes it seem normal. They of course

1403
01:12:51,200 --> 01:12:53,120
Speaker 1: included it on my date with Wells where we eat

1404
01:12:53,160 --> 01:12:55,040
Speaker 1: tacos and like that was part of our date, was

1405
01:12:55,080 --> 01:12:57,880
Speaker 1: the fact that we both love tacos and it was

1406
01:12:57,920 --> 01:13:02,640
Speaker 1: just cute. It was really cute. But normally I like

1407
01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:04,519
Speaker 1: to eat on dates because it makes me feel that

1408
01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:08,280
Speaker 1: they discourage you, because they do discourage. They totally do discourage.

1409
01:13:08,320 --> 01:13:10,519
Speaker 1: But I'm like, no, screw that. I do not sit

1410
01:13:10,560 --> 01:13:12,880
Speaker 1: in front of food without eating it, but especially free food.

1411
01:13:12,920 --> 01:13:15,400
Speaker 1: But I couldn't tell with Ari and Lauren s as

1412
01:13:15,479 --> 01:13:18,479
Speaker 1: if it was chopped together a little bit, where maybe

1413
01:13:19,720 --> 01:13:22,040
Speaker 1: I thought that too amy, But then I really watched

1414
01:13:22,040 --> 01:13:24,559
Speaker 1: closely and there's a there's an actual image of her

1415
01:13:24,680 --> 01:13:26,840
Speaker 1: sitting right next to him as he's going for a

1416
01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:29,920
Speaker 1: plate of steak. Yeah, which it's fine, and I think

1417
01:13:29,960 --> 01:13:33,000
Speaker 1: it happens more often than you guys would think, and

1418
01:13:33,439 --> 01:13:35,800
Speaker 1: they do feed us very very well. Did you how

1419
01:13:35,840 --> 01:13:37,800
Speaker 1: much weight did you gain on the show? Both of you, guys?

1420
01:13:38,600 --> 01:13:42,160
Speaker 1: I mean, well, I on Christmas season. I actually when

1421
01:13:42,200 --> 01:13:44,040
Speaker 1: I got home. My family was like, wow, you look

1422
01:13:44,080 --> 01:13:46,880
Speaker 1: so thin because I think, honjously, I was stressed about

1423
01:13:46,880 --> 01:13:48,920
Speaker 1: the situation, but I hadn't stopped eating. I think my

1424
01:13:48,960 --> 01:13:51,320
Speaker 1: body was just like burning it because I was stressed. Okay,

1425
01:13:51,360 --> 01:13:53,840
Speaker 1: I gained four pounds, which is nothing. Four pounds of

1426
01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:57,880
Speaker 1: over four weeks. But you know you're still eating. You're

1427
01:13:57,920 --> 01:14:03,080
Speaker 1: still eating a lot us thinking and then Ben, Yeah,

1428
01:14:03,240 --> 01:14:06,439
Speaker 1: I mean I lost thirty pounds. We had you had

1429
01:14:06,479 --> 01:14:14,160
Speaker 1: a problem because the show. Yeah, I mean I can't

1430
01:14:12,720 --> 01:14:23,679
Speaker 1: really I lost thirty Did you ever eat on dates? Yeah?

1431
01:14:23,920 --> 01:14:25,559
Speaker 1: But but the food sits out for like an hour

1432
01:14:25,600 --> 01:14:27,640
Speaker 1: and a half before you get there, so it's disgusting,

1433
01:14:27,720 --> 01:14:30,240
Speaker 1: like if you have a lobster sitting in front of you.

1434
01:14:30,360 --> 01:14:33,479
Speaker 1: First off, shellfish, I couldn't eat anything that would be

1435
01:14:33,520 --> 01:14:37,559
Speaker 1: a good date experience are you having? But literally the

1436
01:14:37,560 --> 01:14:39,880
Speaker 1: food sits out for so long that it's a select

1437
01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:42,200
Speaker 1: few things that you can actually eat. I'm impressed that

1438
01:14:42,240 --> 01:14:44,960
Speaker 1: he ate on camera. I had a lot of tweets

1439
01:14:44,960 --> 01:14:47,719
Speaker 1: and text from my friends going why is are we eating?

1440
01:14:47,720 --> 01:14:50,400
Speaker 1: You told us, but the food was always cold. It

1441
01:14:50,560 --> 01:14:53,479
Speaker 1: is cold. So for me, if there's free food in

1442
01:14:53,479 --> 01:14:55,639
Speaker 1: front of me, I'll eat it regardless of the situation.

1443
01:14:55,880 --> 01:14:59,960
Speaker 1: They gave me like French fries and chicken tenders and

1444
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:01,880
Speaker 1: stuff in the hotel before I'd gone the date, so

1445
01:15:01,920 --> 01:15:03,920
Speaker 1: they knew that I was like cool and wasn't gonna eat.

1446
01:15:04,160 --> 01:15:06,320
Speaker 1: But on my one on one date with Been, we

1447
01:15:06,360 --> 01:15:10,320
Speaker 1: didn't have food. He didn't supply the food cold or hot. Nothing,

1448
01:15:10,920 --> 01:15:15,200
Speaker 1: he didn't he didn't surprise your food cheese. Having so

1449
01:15:15,320 --> 01:15:19,080
Speaker 1: much fun that what we had no time to eat, Becca,

1450
01:15:19,200 --> 01:15:21,759
Speaker 1: So I thought that we would cut out the food

1451
01:15:21,800 --> 01:15:24,080
Speaker 1: part and we just have to continue to have the

1452
01:15:24,200 --> 01:15:26,559
Speaker 1: good time that we were having. There was alcohol, though,

1453
01:15:27,520 --> 01:15:30,640
Speaker 1: there's definitely. You know, one of my first memories of

1454
01:15:30,800 --> 01:15:33,400
Speaker 1: Becca outside of the of the show, we're in the

1455
01:15:33,439 --> 01:15:36,800
Speaker 1: airport in Mexico City and we got delayed and the

1456
01:15:36,840 --> 01:15:39,320
Speaker 1: women that were left and myself having to run into

1457
01:15:39,360 --> 01:15:41,679
Speaker 1: each other at the airport and Becca has I'm not kidding,

1458
01:15:42,040 --> 01:15:46,160
Speaker 1: like cheetos with Skittles and a doctor pepper and she's

1459
01:15:46,200 --> 01:15:49,000
Speaker 1: eating it all at once. This was her snack. Yeah,

1460
01:15:49,120 --> 01:15:50,920
Speaker 1: I think I think that then I need to have

1461
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:54,920
Speaker 1: a special edition. We're scrubbing in and almost famous meat

1462
01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:56,639
Speaker 1: and we can just talk about our food and take

1463
01:15:56,720 --> 01:15:59,920
Speaker 1: and how it's becoming such a problem as we're both

1464
01:16:00,400 --> 01:16:03,760
Speaker 1: going into our thirty year. You like that idea because

1465
01:16:03,800 --> 01:16:06,200
Speaker 1: it would be really fun to do Almost Famous and

1466
01:16:06,200 --> 01:16:08,959
Speaker 1: then to be continued and you have to switch over.

1467
01:16:11,479 --> 01:16:15,000
Speaker 1: I love it. I haven't. I have a question for Ashley. Um.

1468
01:16:15,040 --> 01:16:18,320
Speaker 1: This is from Electic. It says, I just have this theory.

1469
01:16:18,680 --> 01:16:22,240
Speaker 1: That's the one I skipped over. Yeah, I know you did.

1470
01:16:22,280 --> 01:16:24,200
Speaker 1: I think Ashley was out last week to go to

1471
01:16:24,240 --> 01:16:28,519
Speaker 1: see her new International Bachelor Winter Games are romance mystery? Man.

1472
01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:31,639
Speaker 1: I noticed a stretch, but I just want to confirm

1473
01:16:31,800 --> 01:16:34,400
Speaker 1: or just miss my theory, Ashley, did you meet anybody

1474
01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:37,080
Speaker 1: on the Minute Winter Games? I met so many people,

1475
01:16:37,920 --> 01:16:43,439
Speaker 1: actually somebody that you're romantically interested in. I certainly met

1476
01:16:43,479 --> 01:16:46,960
Speaker 1: somebody and romantically interested in, but I have no answer

1477
01:16:47,040 --> 01:16:50,400
Speaker 1: on whether or not I was with that person last week. Perfect.
