Yeah, we did. 11 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 1: We definitely did. Got us in a lot of trouble. Actually, 12 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 1: I realized how little my opinion really matters when it 13 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: comes to that kind of stuff. The did you ever 14 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 1: feel like did you hear feedback from that panel? Oh? 15 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: My god, like like a crazy amount. And it's um, 16 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 1: you know, when I was the Bachelor many many years ago, 17 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: they didn't have social media back then, and so what 18 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: we had where all these chat rooms where people would 19 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 1: go in and basically just shred you. And it reminded 20 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 1: me of that.

Twitter, Instagram, Um, 26 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: they would post the links on Twitter and Instagram primarily 27 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: and Facebook, I suppose as well, but I don't go 28 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: to Facebook as much, so I would just get lit 29 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: up on Instagram. Oh my god. It was you know 30 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: what it was. It was humbling, made sure you had 31 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,680 Speaker 1: a nice thick skin, didn't take yourself a little too seriously. 32 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: You know, it's good stuff.

It's special for me. That was a 40 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: big deal. It was it was it was two years ago, 41 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: you know, it was right before COVID and so, um, 42 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,959 Speaker 1: it was kind of crazy because that when we first 43 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,239 Speaker 1: started off doing that, we were doing those uh twice 44 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 1: a month.

I 167 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: mean we wrote it when Ty was three years old, 168 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 1: even before the Bachelor stop, and about him learning how 169 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,559 Speaker 1: to potty train, and that's what that's kind of the 170 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: heart of it. You can buy it anywhere. You can 171 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 1: buy it on Amazon, et Sea. We have a website 172 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 1: What's your poopoo Face. We haven't really done any real 173 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: marketing for it quite yet, so this is my first 174 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: like out there outside of the book signing the other day. 175 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: So thanks man. Yeah, look for What's your poopoo Face? 176 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: I can't imagine the people competing over that domain name. 177 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: That's going to be a very interesting group before guys, 178 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: by the way, I was listening to that story. I 179 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: just bought that to me and Bob, you are a 180 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 1: part of the almost Famous family right now here. It's 181 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: going great. It's been fun that you've talked about it. 182 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: But just in case people missed it, Uh, tell everybody 183 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: about your podcast you have with Almost Famous. Yeah, you 184 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: know when you first had I think you were one 185 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: of the first podcasts that I was on that actually 186 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: people listened to. Um and uh, I think I said 187 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: it then. I meant no disrespect, but I was like, 188 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: how do you even listen to a podcast? Because I 189 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: really didn't know. I'm like, you know, I've done this 190 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: podcast with you, and I actually a few times, and 191 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: I don't really know where to listen to it at 192 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: because I don't know how to find it. And um, 193 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: and that's only because I had come from the serious 194 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: you know, I was. I had a show on serious 195 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 1: sex then for a little while, and I knew how 196 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: to find that. I just I'm just clueless when it 197 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: comes to technology. And anyway, Um, we Trista Sutter and 198 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 1: I are doing the almost famous O G S, which 199 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: is a spinoff, of course, of the almost famous brand 200 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: that you and Ashley have done so amazingly well with. 201 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 1: And uh, when you guys went on a little hiatus, 202 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: you let us plug in there and have some fun 203 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: and tell some stories and the mass Jason Maznick, you 204 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 1: will be a guest soon, I'm sure, Mr Mesnick, sir. Um, 205 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: but we uh, we've been revisiting um with some people 206 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: from each of our seasons here and there, and um, 207 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 1: it's been a lot of fun. It's been a lot 208 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: of fun. I actually like it though when we get 209 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 1: into the uh I G versus O G. Like, you know, 210 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: how life has changed from now from what I was 211 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 1: on the show. I was on the show twenty years ago, right, 212 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: I was on the show in two thousand and three, 213 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: two thousand and four, So, um, you know, eighteen years ago. Yes, 214 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,679 Speaker 1: so it's it's been, um, nineteen years ago. So it's 215 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: it's fun to kind of reflect on that and see 216 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: where we've gone. Like now I finally have a reason 217 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: to have someone, you know, watch Disney movies with me 218 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: because I have kids. Back then, it just seemed creepy. 219 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: I guess now you's true. We talked about it with 220 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: this last week we're in the Monterey Peninsula, just about 221 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,200 Speaker 1: the evolution of the show, the differences in this show, 222 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 1: the things that have happened. Um, before we get into headlines, 223 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,439 Speaker 1: there's been a lot of headlines recently of people speaking 224 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 1: out against the show past contestines, um, not as much leads. Ever, 225 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: once in a while you get a lead that gets 226 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 1: upset with something and they kind of come out against it. 227 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,599 Speaker 1: Very few times are people speaking out and support of 228 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: the show. I think it's just kind of hard to 229 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: do and oftentimes you feel jaded somehow towards this thing 230 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: that that you went on when you all were on 231 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: the show. I guess we'll start here with Bob, because 232 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: it is, you know, twenty years ago compared to twelve 233 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: years ago, where people speaking out publicly against the show 234 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 1: back then, or did you feel like the show was 235 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: different where everybody was pretty happy coming off of it 236 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,079 Speaker 1: and getting to do it. I mean, you know, everybody's 237 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 1: gonna be different, and I think you're always gonna have 238 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: you know, we were all we all three of us 239 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: actually were on The Bachelor at first, then the Bachelor, 240 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: And I feel like back then, the only people that 241 00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: you really heard saying stuff where the guys who thought 242 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: they should have been chosen to be the Bachelor when 243 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: and they'd be like, oh, well they talked to me 244 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:05,680 Speaker 1: and I turned it down. That's why they went to Bob, 245 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,839 Speaker 1: you know or whatever. You know, you would hear stuff 246 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: like that, and you know, you take it with a 247 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: grain of salt at that time, and and um, but 248 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: I mean I heard it every year, you know, and 249 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: I'd go, I was kind of the guy that were like, oh, 250 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 1: they want to talk to me about the show, and yeah, 251 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: you know, well they asked me to do it. I 252 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 1: said no. And I'm like, really, that's interesting because you 253 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 1: sure seem to be, you know, enjoying your run from 254 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: it and talking about it more than the guy they 255 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: just asked to be the Bachelor's kind of way, so 256 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,199 Speaker 1: you know, but it's it's with a grain of salt, 257 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: you know. And I will say, you know, um, I 258 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: probably had a little bit of a period there, um 259 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: because I had I had some legal issues with with 260 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: the Bachelor family at that time, and um, but you know, 261 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: I came out of at the other side. But I still, 262 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: even when I was going through that, I wasn't talking 263 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: ill about it because it gave me such an incredible 264 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 1: experience and the life that I had as a result 265 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: of going on that show, even though I didn't marry 266 00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: someone from the show, was really really awesome. And so 267 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 1: I mean I always looked at it from the standpoint of, 268 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: you know, man, if would my life be like what 269 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 1: it is right now if I hadn't done that likelihood 270 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: as now, even though it wasn't maybe exactly what I 271 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: wanted from a romantic relationship or whatever, I was still 272 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,839 Speaker 1: at this place as a result of doing it, and 273 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: so I was trying to always be the big picture guy. 274 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: So yeah, I I definitely didn't hear it as much 275 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 1: back then as I hear it now. And of course 276 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 1: that was a different time, you know. I mean I 277 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: you know, I can say honestly, I don't think we 278 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 1: were nearly socially as socially aware as people are today. 279 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: And for better or for worse, UM, and you know, 280 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: so I mean from that perspective, I would say it 281 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: was a little more of an innocent time of that show, 282 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,319 Speaker 1: of the show and UM and everything else. I'd be 283 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: interested to see because Jason's right in the middle of us, 284 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: I'd be interested to see, you know, his experience from 285 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 1: that too. Uh. Yeah, you know, I was pretty negative, 286 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: Like I had a negative experience when it ended, UM, 287 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 1: and had some some harsh conversations with Like it wasn't 288 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 1: even about the public, it was like the behind the 289 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: I'm always speaking in Hi Molly, they all say, Hi. Um. Uh, 290 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: just some negative experience with all the production stuff. UM. 291 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 1: But I think I think I got past that. But 292 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 1: what what what occurs to me about this kind of 293 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: like being sold more socially aware. And I've told this 294 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: story a couple of times, is that when they were 295 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: asking me to be the Bachelor, and they said, you know, 296 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: and I would ask every week, I would say, have 297 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: have they made a decision yet? Because decisions made by 298 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: you know, ABC and I remember they came to me 299 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: and they said it was something really interesting. They said, well, 300 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: they really want you to be the Bachelor, but they're 301 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: not sure if America is ready for a Jewish guy 302 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: to be the Bachelor. And I was like, well, I mean, 303 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: and I know it's nothing against like the guy at ABC, Jeff, 304 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: who made a decision, he was a Jewish guy. Mike 305 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 1: Plice is a Jewish guy. So I had nothing to 306 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: do with like their thoughts about Jewish people, but it 307 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: really did at that point in time. And you know, 308 00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: and I know it's all all about AD dollars, but 309 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: at that point in time, they were so afraid to 310 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: shake what was happening. Like there was conversations I remember 311 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: back then about you know, I don't They would say, well, 312 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: we don't think America is ready for a Jewish guy, 313 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: like maybe they're not ready for somebody of color, right, 314 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 1: So I think that was right in the middle ground 315 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: where like maybe they took somewhat of a risk on me. 316 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: But I think if you look at it, like I 317 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 1: think anytime Judaism came up, they would cut it out. 318 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: Ended up being like, hey, we're not We're not gonna 319 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: even go there. At this point, um, I was gonna say, I, 320 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: I didn't even know that you were Jewish. I mean 321 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: any time that that came up, whether it was like 322 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 1: with my family or like it was all cut out 323 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: of the show, like we weren't ignoring, but it was 324 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: just they didn't put it in the show. And I 325 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: don't think it's anything like when I go back to it, 326 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: like Jeff and Mike and me, like we're all, you know, 327 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 1: not practicing real Jewish guy heavily Jews, but like it 328 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 1: isn't our family. But I think from that point on, 329 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 1: like things have changed dramatically in a good way. You know. 330 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 1: I had a little bit of that. I remember too 331 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 1: because I was the first divorce Bachelor, and I remember, 332 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if America is ready for 333 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: but but I can be honest, I was. So I 334 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: was sort of like I was okay with not being 335 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: the Bachelor because I was. I thought I was like 336 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 1: the lovable loser from Tristas season. I'm like, man, I'm 337 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: having a lot of fun. I don't know if I 338 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 1: necessarily want to go on there, and you don't mess 339 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: this up, but but I remember them saying that, and 340 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: I was like well, if they're not, you know, I 341 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: understand that makes sense, you know, or whatever, and then 342 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 1: they you know, then they came back and like we 343 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 1: wanted to be that guy. So yeah, I mean, I 344 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: like I I think like Jason said, you know, I 345 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 1: think we all probably had moments where we were irritated 346 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: or whatever, but it was probably just a level of 347 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: volume that we gave to it, right. Yeah, And today 348 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: does it feels like the people speaking up to are 349 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: the ones that weren't chosen as leads or that um 350 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 1: A lot of times it's like the from the headlines 351 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: and we'll probably get into it today too when we 352 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 1: read them. Is the paradise is the spinoffs like the show? 353 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: They feel like the show give him a bad edit, 354 00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 1: misedited them, and you know that's uh, it's fair. It's 355 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: hard to know if you're not there. Yeah, you don't 356 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: really know. But it does seem just to to drive 357 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 1: the point forward, is that people are speaking up more 358 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: and more, and I wonder if that will continue, and 359 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 1: I wonder what that does to the show. Hey, I 360 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 1: have a funny story before we take a break here, 361 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 1: and we start with the headlines. Uh, this last week, 362 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: gentleman going back to if you get recognized or not. 363 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: I Uh, I was in Nashville, Tennessee with my with 364 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:31,479 Speaker 1: my in laws and my uh brother in law, my wife, 365 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:35,159 Speaker 1: my sister in law. We had a wonderful dinner. We 366 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 1: had like a dinner at three different spots, appetizers, dinner, 367 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 1: dessert kind of thing. We're at one place called the 368 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,920 Speaker 1: Urban Cowboy in Nashville, Tennessee, and I'm saying, if your 369 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 1: egos ever get kind of like hurt, just go back 370 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 1: to Nashville and sit in a spot for a bit. 371 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 1: It's like the target demo for this show. It feels 372 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,880 Speaker 1: like for the last twenty five years. But we're at 373 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: this place called the Urban Cowboy. It's awesome, incredible pizza, 374 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: incredible drinks. Were standing in line and UM with my 375 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:06,400 Speaker 1: father in law. My wife is to my left, uh 376 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 1: and my brother in law and this group of girls 377 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 1: come up and they go, can we get a picture? Said, 378 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 1: of course, take a picture. Uh. They're very sweet, very nice, 379 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,159 Speaker 1: asking me very easy questions. And then all of a sudden, 380 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,120 Speaker 1: I'm standing there and I'm texting on my phone and 381 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: I have an arm come and smack my arm down, 382 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,239 Speaker 1: like smack it down. I look over to my right 383 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 1: on my right shoulder, and this girl goes, you're a liar. 384 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:31,920 Speaker 1: I'm like what, And she goes, you're a liar? And 385 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: I was like and I in my head, I was 386 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,919 Speaker 1: thinking this is either about to get really awkward for 387 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 1: me or really weird because everybody, like my wife is here, 388 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 1: my father in law is here. She goes, you're a liar, 389 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,400 Speaker 1: And I said, I don't know how to answer that question, 390 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: but like, can I get some context because and if 391 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 1: if it's if it's context, that is, my father in 392 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 1: law shouldn't here, can be can we step aside um? 393 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: And she goes, you're not Ben Higgins. And at that 394 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 1: point I realized that she was probably a couple of 395 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: drinks too deep. I don't know how to answer that, 396 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,120 Speaker 1: and so I said, here's my I D and she goes, 397 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 1: I don't even care, you're not him, You're a liar 398 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: and walks away. And in that moment, I realized that 399 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: it's been a couple of years since I've really been 400 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 1: out in public, like in a big group setting. It 401 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 1: just hasn't happened. It's not like a part of my 402 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: life as much anymore. Because of COVID and because I'm 403 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 1: married and I like to stay inside. At that moment, 404 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: I realized, I don't miss it, guys, don't miss it 405 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: at all. You know, it's funny you say that. As 406 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 1: Molly walked by and I was telling her, I was 407 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: doing this because like, I am all done. I don't 408 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: even want to talk about the Baston anymore. She is 409 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 1: so anti even like I think it's just she's had 410 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: the conversation so many times that she's just like, I'm done. Yeah, 411 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,639 Speaker 1: she says to you, guys, Hey, I get it. I 412 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 1: get it. I met my wife and I've talked about 413 00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 1: the show five times in our marriage or our time 414 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: to gether in relationship. It just doesn't come up. And 415 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: I get to still talk about it on here, so 416 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: I get my well, you know, everything I need out 417 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 1: of it.

Usually 419 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,400 Speaker 1: Ashley walks me through these. I'm not good at them 420 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 1: because I don't typically know what's going on in pop 421 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: culture and around the Bachelor world. She likes to and 422 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:20,959 Speaker 1: she does know, and she's really good at So we're 423 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 1: gonna try to get through this together. When we come 424 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: back on this week's Monday Man panel of the Almost 425 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 1: same As podcast.

Uh. 427 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 1: They're good and juicy, and we have two gentlemen here 428 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: who are gonna help us break them down. Are you 429 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 1: guys are ready? Do you feel like you're like suited 430 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 1: for this rule? Do you feel like you're ready suited 431 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: and booted? Buddy, I'm ready. I don't even know what 432 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: the heck we're talking about. This is to be a blast. 433 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 1: This is gonna be so good. Okay, first headline is 434 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: this Katie Morton teases moving in with her boyfriend James 435 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:13,399 Speaker 1: Rowe as soon as they can. Gentlemen, my question for 436 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 1: you is do you know Katie Morton? And do you 437 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,959 Speaker 1: recommend moving in with your boyfriend or girlfriend? Is there 438 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 1: a certain time period that you think it works best. 439 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 1: I'll let Jason go first. I think Katie Morton her 440 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: family invented the seasoning sault. I was gonna say the 441 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,880 Speaker 1: same thing, were you really? No? I don't, but if 442 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 1: funny you say this, because I remember I took a 443 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 1: like a speech class in college and my whole debate 444 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 1: actually a bait class was on cohabitation um, and I, 445 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 1: being the liberal you know, northwesterner, took the side of absolutely, 446 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 1: how are you going to know what it's like, how 447 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 1: you're gonna fit together? Um, and debated against somebody who 448 00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 1: was against it. So I am absolutely for it. I 449 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: think it's a great idea. But and I've done it before, 450 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:07,440 Speaker 1: but it only works out some of the time. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 451 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: i'd say fifty percent of the time. It works out 452 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:13,159 Speaker 1: thirty percent of the time. Um. But I do think 453 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 1: that's interesting because Jason, you're now the father of a daughter, 454 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 1: so the fact that you still have that feeling I 455 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: think is pretty cool. Yeah. I mean I probably feel 456 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 1: better about my seventeen year old son doing it than 457 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 1: my daughter doing it, for sure. Yeah. Oh yeah, I 458 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,640 Speaker 1: too do not know Katie Morton, but I do love 459 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: their salts and there's there's spices. But I would say, yeah, 460 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,640 Speaker 1: you know, I think I think you almost in this 461 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 1: day and age, I mean, I think there are some 462 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: exceptions to that rule that really make it work. I 463 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: think Ben you were an exception to that rule, if 464 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, where you guys didn't live together and 465 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 1: we didn't we kind of. I mean, you know, we 466 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 1: always said like we would spend like time together. She 467 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,679 Speaker 1: didn't even live out here, though, so it wasn't like 468 00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 1: we had like long distance up until the last couple 469 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 1: of months before we got married, right, yeah, which is 470 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 1: when she moved here. You still live separately for a 471 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 1: couple of months. Yeah, we had Uh. Yeah, we got 472 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,120 Speaker 1: a house that she started to redo. I was up 473 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 1: I mean we live in it now. I was up 474 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: here a lot. I think we got a good taste 475 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 1: of each other's like lifestyles and habits. I do, though, 476 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,919 Speaker 1: feel like we've learned a ton in the last six 477 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 1: months on how each other function. Like we're learning a lot, 478 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:29,479 Speaker 1: which I I don't know. Maybe when you live with 479 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,120 Speaker 1: somebody before you get married, you kind of no. Uh, 480 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,919 Speaker 1: there's been a lot of surprises. Nothing luckily for us. 481 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 1: It's like bad. It's just like there's just different surprises 482 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 1: that we have had to work through, including like who 483 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,439 Speaker 1: how do you pack the dishwasher and why do you 484 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 1: put bulls in the plate section when there's not enough 485 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 1: room in the plate section for this? Like those are 486 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 1: conversations we have. That's a valid argument. By the way, 487 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: I'd take anybody on that one. I'm a big dishwasher guy. Yeah, 488 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 1: I agree. I lived so Kenyon and I didn't live 489 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 1: together before we got well for the majority of our relationship, 490 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 1: and then when I moved to Seattle, UM and moved 491 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 1: in next to Jason and Molly, that's when we moved 492 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 1: in together. So we we had been dating long distance 493 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: up until that point, and then we moved in together 494 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: in Seattle and UM, so I agree with you. You You 495 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: learn a lot. You learned a lot about somebody the 496 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,640 Speaker 1: second you start living with him, and some of it's good, 497 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,879 Speaker 1: some of us not so good, so as well get 498 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: it out of the way early, figure it out. Katie 499 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,959 Speaker 1: Morton is saying that they're going to move in as 500 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:31,920 Speaker 1: soon as you can, so they're going that route. She's 501 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 1: dating James Rowe, who is a professional soccer player. Katie 502 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 1: has been talking about this relationship now for a bit. 503 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,479 Speaker 1: She's really happy. In fact, I remember her coming on 504 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,439 Speaker 1: the Almost Famous podcast and kind of hinting that she 505 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,920 Speaker 1: was dating somebody, but she hadn't announced it publicly yet. 506 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 1: But that is a big deal. Um. Either way, no 507 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: matter what your I guess, believe or what you think 508 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 1: is right for your relationship. It sounds like Katie is 509 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,719 Speaker 1: in a good place with her new boyfriend, and so 510 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: we celebrate that. Well, speaking of boyfriends, everything we need 511 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: to know about Madison pruittt Pruett's new BF. All. Do 512 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:13,199 Speaker 1: you know who Madison Pruitt is. I'm googling her. I 513 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 1: know that name. Yes, she was runner up. Was she 514 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,680 Speaker 1: an American idol? No? She was, I do know her. 515 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 1: She was the girl that was the pilot guys, Peter 516 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,639 Speaker 1: Mom's choice, like mom loved that one or something, and 517 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 1: then they ended up fighting. Sweet girl. They had a 518 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:36,400 Speaker 1: big falling out on after the final rows. Well, Madison 519 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,479 Speaker 1: has been pretty close to her chest about any of 520 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 1: her dates since the time on the show, but recently, 521 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 1: because I think of the series of the relationship, she 522 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 1: has came out publicly that she is dating Grant Trout. 523 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: Now you might recognize the Trout name, Kenny Trout. Grant's 524 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,719 Speaker 1: dad is the billionaire founder of Excel Communication and owner 525 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:04,199 Speaker 1: of Windstar Farms there out of Texas. So she is 526 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:10,920 Speaker 1: dating into a billionaires family. Uh here, I say, well done. 527 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: I said they should get married immediately, but yeah, wait, 528 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 1: a whole lot of second how come. Okay, prehistoric times 529 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: with Bob and I, when there wasn't social media, you'd 530 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: fall off the show and you had to go to 531 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 1: the bar wherever else like a normal person. Now the 532 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,679 Speaker 1: people are fall off the show they're dating. Is anybody 533 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,680 Speaker 1: dating Brad Pitt? Yet, like, like you fall off the 534 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 1: show and all of a sudden you're dating celebrities or billionaires? Yeah, 535 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:34,959 Speaker 1: or like we have a headline here where somebody want 536 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 1: on a date with Harry Styles. So yeah, I mean, 537 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 1: I think nowadays, if you're like known from the show, 538 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: I think you've got a shot at really getting in 539 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,680 Speaker 1: that Hollywood dating scene. Now, this isn't a Hollywood dating story, though, 540 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,959 Speaker 1: This is um a story that I think they've probably 541 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 1: met at a conference. I believe from my understanding that 542 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 1: Grant uh is uh speaks a lot at churches. I 543 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: don't know if we he is a pastor by profession, 544 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 1: but Madison also speaks at churches a lot, kind of 545 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 1: does the traveling circuit, and so I'm sure they kind 546 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 1: of met through that. Also, one of Madison's big storylines 547 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:13,640 Speaker 1: during her time on the show was that she loved 548 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,640 Speaker 1: basketball and Grant was a point guard. For you see 549 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 1: Santa Barbara, but he had a hip injury, so I 550 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:23,159 Speaker 1: didn't play a lot. But yeah, the Trout family. In fact, guys, 551 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 1: I was justic and I really have done a few 552 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,719 Speaker 1: things with Madison. We really like Madison and so when 553 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,199 Speaker 1: they announced their relationship, we kind of sat down and 554 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,120 Speaker 1: did a little research and we we saw it there 555 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 1: at the Kentucky Derby, like that seems really interesting that 556 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 1: they would go to the Kentucky Derby together. Well, I 557 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: believe that Grant's father owns a few horses that probably 558 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:48,360 Speaker 1: was racing in the Kentucky Derby. So that's a good time. 559 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: But the Owens rich Strike, who was horse number twenty one, 560 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,679 Speaker 1: Thank you sir, because that was a nice day for 561 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 1: me too. Did you did you take rich Strike? I did? Did? 562 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 1: How did you? Why would you even do that? So 563 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:06,400 Speaker 1: this was my s in a row and I yeah, 564 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: and I love it and I and this year, you know, 565 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,400 Speaker 1: we always do this big bet where we all put 566 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,119 Speaker 1: together some money, all all of us buddies and we 567 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 1: do a SuperFect a lottery bet. Right, So a few 568 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: years back we actually won on it, which was great, 569 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: but you're dividing it by twenties, so it's not that substantial. 570 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 1: And then this year we did it again, and I 571 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,200 Speaker 1: was just a little bored with with the fact that 572 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 1: I had to wait till after the race that count 573 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,639 Speaker 1: out the tickets and look to see who won. So 574 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 1: I went up to the window with a little winnings 575 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 1: that I had from the race previous and just put 576 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 1: a hundred bucks on all the long shots. And so 577 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 1: I just went through the book and every long shot, 578 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 1: I'm like, give me a hundred bucks to win on 579 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 1: this guy, hunter bucks to win on that guy type 580 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 1: of thing. And as I was walking away from the window, 581 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,239 Speaker 1: one of my buddies was walking up and they ran 582 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 1: out of time to make their bets, so he split 583 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 1: it with me. So he basically gave me half and 584 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 1: we were like, okay, well whatever happens happens, And sure 585 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 1: enough we had that horse, though in the book it 586 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 1: was horse number twenty that was listed at fifty one, 587 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 1: and he went off at one, which is pretty awesome. 588 00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,959 Speaker 1: You're one of the success stories. That's a good story. 589 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 1: I was at a horse race this weekend and Nashville, 590 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 1: Tennessee called steeple Chase, and everybody was talking about what 591 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 1: if you would have put a hundred bucks on rich strike. 592 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 1: What if you would have put a thousand bucks on 593 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 1: rich strike. There's got to be these people out there. 594 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 1: Well I know one of them. I can say I 595 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 1: have this guy that I know. Thanks, guys, thanks, Well, 596 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 1: we're just kind of mentioning this headline a second ago, 597 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 1: but let's get into it now. Kate Gallavan, Uh, you 598 00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 1: might remember her from her time on the Bachelor. It 599 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 1: was a big storyline when she was on the Bachelor, 600 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 1: at least on the first couple of nights, that she 601 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 1: had gone on a date with Harry Styles. Well, here's 602 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 1: the headline. Kate Golvin shares the story of her date 603 00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 1: with Harry Styles. Now, gentlemen, it wasn't received well by 604 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:06,080 Speaker 1: the Bachelor public. I guess um because people are saying 605 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 1: that's not true. Prove it. How you can't, you know, 606 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 1: prove that it happened. And people are also saying, well, 607 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 1: how does Harry Styles feel that you're using his name? 608 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 1: Uh for credibility. So recently Kate Gllavin went on Clickbait 609 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 1: with Joe, Natasha and Tia and shared her her story. 610 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 1: She's confirmed I did go on a date with Harry 611 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 1: Styles in two thousand and fourteen. It was right when 612 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 1: I moved to l A, which was such a mind 613 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 1: f because I was like, is this just what happens 614 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: when people lived here? It was so insane. He was 615 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 1: still in one direction at the time. He was twenty 616 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: in two thousand fourteen and I was twenty four. She 617 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: went on to explain how she and Harry connected, sharing 618 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: I was an assistant at c A A. That was 619 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 1: my first job in l A. It was so crazy 620 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 1: to me to be in such a nice building with 621 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 1: all these famous people here. Is agent ended up setting 622 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 1: it up and we texted for a little bit. Went 623 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 1: to petite hermatage. You know that restaurant. Yeah, that's a 624 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 1: great idea. I love that restaurant. Oh, I actually have 625 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 1: been there. Never even heard of it. I guess it's 626 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,600 Speaker 1: in West Hollywood. Um, and there was no paparazzi. Uh. 627 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 1: They had a sweet interaction. He was very engaging and 628 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,200 Speaker 1: curious about her life, and I thought it was so 629 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 1: cool and a change of pace. Um that was where 630 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 1: it played out. So hey, she's confirming it, she's given 631 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 1: details around it. Harry's never spoke out against it. So 632 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 1: Bachelor Nation, it's time to accept it Kate Galvin went 633 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 1: on a date with Harry Styles. I think everybody's jealous. 634 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 1: It's funny because even Molly and my nine year old 635 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:53,720 Speaker 1: talk about Harry Styles. Yeah, he's a good looking guy. 636 00:31:53,880 --> 00:32:06,280 Speaker 1: Come on, all right, two more headlines here for you 637 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: all before we close out. Uh big one here. We 638 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 1: kind of mentioned it a little bit ago. Blake Hurtzman 639 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:17,959 Speaker 1: and Natasha Parker ignite feud over fairness of Bachelor in Paradise. 640 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: This according to US Weekly.

But this was interesting to watch. 643 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,240 Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys saw this, but Blake 644 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:33,320 Speaker 1: uh in summary came on his Instagram. People were asking 645 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 1: him questions. They're talking about the editing of Bachelor in Paradise, 646 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 1: and he said, hey, just be careful and stay away 647 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 1: from any company people, meaning anybody has a podcast with 648 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 1: Warner Brothers. If they go onto the beach, they're gonna 649 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 1: get a good edit because Warner Brothers wants them to 650 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 1: look good. It's good for their podcast, it's good for 651 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 1: their brand, etcetera, etcetera. He said, don't get on their 652 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 1: bad side. Well, Natasha comes out, who has a podcast 653 00:32:56,480 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 1: with Warner Brothers Clickbait, and says, that's not fair, that's 654 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 1: not true. Um. She feels like Blake was diminishing her 655 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 1: personal experience on Bachelor in Paradise by saying that she 656 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 1: just got a good at it. She says, pretty much, Um, 657 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 1: if you're like toxic, uh then or I guess what 658 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 1: she's really saying here, I'll just quote her because it's 659 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 1: it's going to be more fair to her. Um. She 660 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 1: said this via her Instagram story on May twelve. Um, 661 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 1: she says, I have a problem. If you're taking what 662 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 1: Blake is saying and you're rallying behind it, you're basically 663 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 1: excusing toxic behavior, which means she's saying, Hey, you're not 664 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,440 Speaker 1: doing well on the beach, you're not gonna look good 665 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,960 Speaker 1: in the public eye. And if we just start saying 666 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 1: everybody that goes on the show because they work for 667 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 1: the company looks good, well, we're excusing toxic behavior. Gen 668 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 1: what do you think, man, I'll tell you what. That 669 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:56,760 Speaker 1: beach show scares me. I don't know how else to 670 00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,160 Speaker 1: say it. That you go on that show, it's basically 671 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:03,160 Speaker 1: like you're going onto Survivor Real World. You're going on 672 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 1: You're building alliances. It's terrifying. I I gotta be honest, 673 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:09,840 Speaker 1: So I think, you know, you go on those shows, 674 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:13,360 Speaker 1: you're definitely gonna have some people coming with some angles. 675 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:15,759 Speaker 1: They're smart, they've been in the series, they know how 676 00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:19,600 Speaker 1: it plays, So you know, I'm sure there's I'm sure 677 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:23,000 Speaker 1: there's merit to both sides of what each of them 678 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,360 Speaker 1: are saying. But my guests would be at the end 679 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 1: of the day, you know, the the edit is is 680 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,319 Speaker 1: really up to what you give them in content. You know, 681 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,080 Speaker 1: if you don't say it, they can't use it. Right, 682 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:34,960 Speaker 1: you guys might be gonna help me out. I actually 683 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,279 Speaker 1: wanted the Sea. I can't even tell you what season was. 684 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,319 Speaker 1: They had Molly and I go down there to like 685 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 1: talk to some of the couples and we're this is 686 00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 1: not on camera by any means, but somebody, Ben, you 687 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 1: might remember this. Somebody jumped out of their hotel room 688 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 1: and broke their ankle. Yeah, because I thought it was 689 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 1: because they were messing around with the producer. Somebody was 690 00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:00,080 Speaker 1: messing around with the producer, and somebody jumped out to 691 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:05,040 Speaker 1: their hotel room on to like Kyle Kyle ground in Mexico. Yeah, 692 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 1: I think they gotta find edit though. Yeah, I think 693 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,799 Speaker 1: they were fine. I mean, you know, it's uh, it's 694 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 1: hard to say again, you can't say it without being there. Um, 695 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:19,960 Speaker 1: it's just interesting to see two you know, cast members 696 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 1: arguing about this. I've always said, I've never been from 697 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,240 Speaker 1: my own personal experience, I've never been on a show 698 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:29,440 Speaker 1: inside this franchise where somebody looked worse than what they 699 00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:33,280 Speaker 1: behaved like on the show, other than Olivia Uh Creedy, 700 00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 1: who I do think was unfairly criticized. I don't even 701 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,279 Speaker 1: know if she looked that bad on television. I think 702 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 1: she was just like the only villain on the season, 703 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 1: so people just chose to go after her. Um So, 704 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,359 Speaker 1: I I don't know. I haven't been around I guess 705 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,240 Speaker 1: enough of these shows to know if there's like always 706 00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:51,879 Speaker 1: a villain or if they can edit it in. But yeah, 707 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:53,880 Speaker 1: they've got to be able to. I remember, and this 708 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,319 Speaker 1: is granted, it's you know, a lifetime ago, when I 709 00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,439 Speaker 1: was on the Bachelorette, but I remember something was going 710 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,440 Speaker 1: on between a couple of guys that were drinking, and 711 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:05,640 Speaker 1: I wanted to go up and kind of break up disagreement, 712 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,480 Speaker 1: and I was walking up there, remember a producer pulling 713 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,279 Speaker 1: me aside and saying, no, no, no, we don't want 714 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,480 Speaker 1: you to get involved. You gotta stay. So they already had, 715 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,920 Speaker 1: you know, because they had their eye on me as 716 00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:21,400 Speaker 1: a clean participated on the Bachelorette that you know, they 717 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:25,120 Speaker 1: have to have something up their sleeves some way. Yeah. 718 00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,880 Speaker 1: So granted that could be remembering something foggy since it 719 00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:33,200 Speaker 1: was in black and white. Well yeah, I mean, I'm 720 00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,759 Speaker 1: sure it happens. But it's just interesting to see those 721 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:39,880 Speaker 1: two arguing about it because they have two different experiences 722 00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,160 Speaker 1: on the show. Um both, well, then you know them both. 723 00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,319 Speaker 1: I mean, you know from what they're saying, it's got 724 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,240 Speaker 1: to be. I mean, do you have a specific feeling 725 00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:48,960 Speaker 1: on it or are you sort of just I mean, 726 00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,160 Speaker 1: I think you know it's funny. Blake is a buddy 727 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,920 Speaker 1: of mine. Um, Blake made some bad decisions before we 728 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:59,160 Speaker 1: went on Paradise. I don't know, I bet because of 729 00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:00,560 Speaker 1: those decisions, I don't don't know if you can call 730 00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,279 Speaker 1: him even bad. He made some decisions right. He had 731 00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,920 Speaker 1: dated or hooked up with multiple people going into that season, 732 00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,680 Speaker 1: and I'm sure when the show found out about it. 733 00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:12,680 Speaker 1: They put him in some really uncomfortable where there was 734 00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:16,879 Speaker 1: no right way around it, right you know, situations when 735 00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,040 Speaker 1: he was on the beach, which probably made him feel 736 00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:22,240 Speaker 1: like you've cornered me, You've made me look bad before 737 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:26,680 Speaker 1: I can even explain myself. Natasha, um, you know, she 738 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:28,920 Speaker 1: got a lot of love this year because she couldn't 739 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:30,920 Speaker 1: find love on the beach and everybody kind of like 740 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,640 Speaker 1: pushed her side or or didn't like really engage in 741 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 1: her or share the similar feelings that she did, and 742 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:41,480 Speaker 1: so um, you know, I think for her that was 743 00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:43,919 Speaker 1: her experience. I don't know if there was a bad way. 744 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,400 Speaker 1: Maybe there was that we weren't seeing, But I just 745 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,080 Speaker 1: think there's two people having very different experiences from the show, 746 00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,439 Speaker 1: and also two people benefiting very differently from the show. 747 00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:56,000 Speaker 1: Blake is a DJ, he's very busy doing that. Natasha 748 00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 1: works for Wonder Brothers, UM, and she's probably very thankful 749 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 1: for that. So two totally different experiences too, totally different 750 00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,480 Speaker 1: pass and we and we get to see kind of 751 00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,439 Speaker 1: their feelings towards the show play out right in front 752 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,719 Speaker 1: of us on social media. It's always so much, so 753 00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:15,040 Speaker 1: much fun, so much fun, hashtag like how hashtag like 754 00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,600 Speaker 1: them both? Yeah, we got to They're good people. That's 755 00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,640 Speaker 1: my savvy, that's my savvy social media approach. It was 756 00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:25,000 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, but um, all right, uh, 757 00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:28,600 Speaker 1: Bachelor in Paradise. Speaking of Bachelor in Paradise, Demi Burnett, 758 00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,640 Speaker 1: who has been on Bachelor in Paradise a couple of times, 759 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,279 Speaker 1: fan favorite. Everybody loves her. She was kind of a 760 00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,360 Speaker 1: villain or kind of like somebody that people talked a 761 00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:40,440 Speaker 1: lot about, went on Paradise. Um, people fell in love 762 00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,400 Speaker 1: with her even more than it did before. She went 763 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:46,719 Speaker 1: on Paradise again. This last season didn't work out for um. Well, 764 00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,359 Speaker 1: she is quoted here and this is where as much 765 00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 1: as we can really say about it. She's quoted saying 766 00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:56,359 Speaker 1: she will never go on Paradise again. I'm way out 767 00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 1: of their league. That's twenty seven year old reality star 768 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,320 Speaker 1: exclusively told US Weekly on Thursday May twelfth while attending 769 00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:07,400 Speaker 1: the Rolling Stones Time Meta Creators issue event at the 770 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,680 Speaker 1: Hurst Estate in Beverly Hills. So I think we can 771 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:14,399 Speaker 1: count on Demi Burnett never attending Bachelor and Paradise again 772 00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:18,640 Speaker 1: because hey, she's out of their league now. Um, it 773 00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:20,800 Speaker 1: makes us one or even more. Yeah, I know, gosh, 774 00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:26,200 Speaker 1: you're good.

So, but I always thought I always thought 830 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:33,719 Speaker 1: they seemed like they had a really great relationship, you know, 831 00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:36,399 Speaker 1: from what I've seen and who I know that know them. 832 00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:40,520 Speaker 1: So I think that's pretty awesome. Good for them. Good. Yeah, yea, 833 00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:42,360 Speaker 1: but I need to find out where they want on 834 00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:43,799 Speaker 1: the honeymoon. I'm sure at some place, so I don't 835 00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:45,920 Speaker 1: even know if they're sharing it yet. You don't really 836 00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,000 Speaker 1: want to share that, right if you're on your way there, 837 00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:50,560 Speaker 1: because I'm sure the two of them where they live, 838 00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:54,360 Speaker 1: you know, all over the place. They've been seen in Nashville, 839 00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:58,160 Speaker 1: they've been seeing for the most part in Puerto Rico. UM. 840 00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:01,440 Speaker 1: I also know that Joejoe was living in Dallas as 841 00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:02,920 Speaker 1: of a few years ago, so I think they kind 842 00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:06,960 Speaker 1: of bounce around now. I do believe their main hub 843 00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:11,160 Speaker 1: is Puerto Rico though at this point.
