21
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: so you're changing into two costumes today and going to

22
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: a birthday party. Welcome to the l A lifestyle I

23
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: know right well, Halloween has always been a big day

24
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: for me because I just love being creative. So I'm

25
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: all about like putting together my own costumes. I don't

26
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: think I've ever bought one out of a bag. You

27
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: know what, I love being scared. I love being scared

28
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 1: on Halloween. Um well, if you were here right now,

29
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 1: we'd probably have a clown in studio because I hear

30
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: that clowns are your biggest fear. You can go to

31
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: my blog Mahogany We're playing read all about it. But

32
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: read all about it. But I've had a just an

33
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: insane fear of clowns since I was a kid, and

34
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: it really did stem from a terrible experience I had

35
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: with a very just pushy clown as probably a five

36
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: year old boy. I hated my experience. Um so I

37
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: don't do anything Halloween. I really don't stay far away

38
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: from it no way. Actually, like it's so funny because

39
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: I am somebody who loves putting effort into Halloween and

40
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: I love the creativity behind it. I actually like have

41
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: I get like a little angry at people who don't participate.

42
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: Actually don't get mad at me. I promise have good reasons. Um,

43
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: So clowns like you don't go outside because you're afraid

44
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 1: that you're going to run into clowns. Yeah, it's it's

45
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: not my thing. I don't do it. Um, but I

46
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: do try to pass out candy as long as there's

47
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: no If there's any like clowns or there's any haunted houses,

48
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,239
Speaker 1: I stay far away. But there's two people from Battlination

49
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: that recently were spotted in costume together. Um, which is

50
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: I need to talk to you about. It's weird. We

51
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: talked about a little bit last night, were last week,

52
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: so we've gotten a ton of emails on it. But

53
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: crit and Tomorrow are still hanging out. Have you figured

54
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 1: out is that a thing or not? I don't think

55
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,399
Speaker 1: it's a thing. I mean I haven't heard from either

56
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: of them, so I don't really know. But I just

57
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: think they're friends. I mean, it's so weird that we

58
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: we're all like friends, but we'll always get coupled up,

59
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: like people will always ship us. We had that conversation

60
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: about shipping, remember that in Vegas? Yeah, and I have

61
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: no clue with that. I had no clue what that means.

62
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: But we have a ton of emails about Karen Dmorrow.

63
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: We'll talk about it later in the show. Um, I

64
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: can give you guys a quick stat from the emails.

65
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: I would say the emails were about fifty fifty for

66
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: Karin and Demard Mario like, it's too weird that they're

67
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: hanging out. It's all for publicity, and then the other

68
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: we're like, we're cool with it. They went through a lot,

69
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: it's all good. And then I will also give you

70
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: one quick stat. The emails were about sea chest hair,

71
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: boo chest hair. Okay, very very good, thanks for Yeah,

76
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: That's good news. I needed it. I mean, first off,

77
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: it's just the maintenance of not having it would take

78
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: up so much time. And now to know when I

79
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,040

Speaker 1: remember remember my photo shoot for The Bachelor, And you

129
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: do this like gaze, like stare into the camera where

130
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: you're looking long and ly through the camera's lens, and

131
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: you know it's supposed to bring off this perception of

132
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: I'm looking for love. And that's pretty much the whole promo.

133
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: See him just staring through the camera lens. It it

134
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,240

Speaker 1: it didn't do it didn't do a lot for Okay.

136
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,599

Speaker 1: wait so wait it was Let's repeat that. That's a

140
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: big point here. So Nick is actually older than our Yeah,

Speaker 1: of us. I was late and you were on time.

157
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,920

179
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,160

00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: your amazing spot that you just put together there. Nice

181
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: job actually, and about just the watch industry in general,

182
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: and I was thinking, you know, is it fading is

183
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: sticking around? I thought, what was it like before cell

184
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: phones watches were the only thing available? And then I

185
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: thought when Bob guineas on The Bachelors, watches were the

186
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 1: only way to tell time. Bob guinea Welcome to the

187
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 1: Almost Famous podcast. Bob. We're just talking about when you're

188
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,559
Speaker 1: on the Bachelorette there are no cell phones to keep

189
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: in contact with anybody. Is that correct? Yeah? I heard

190
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: you say something about watches telling time. We used the

191
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: sun dial. That brings up I'm just gonna jump into

192
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: it with you here because I'm so excited to have

193
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: you on the podcast. You've been um, I was I

194
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: was talking about last week. You've been a great friend

195
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 1: to me kind of over the last few months, and

196
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: we're on this crazy group that that I talked about

197
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: often on the podcast. Because if you continues to entertain me, Um,

198
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: I want to jump into something just to kind of

199
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: get this conversation started. Something that we talked about a lot,

200
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: your experience on The Bachelor and Bachelor at Okay, if

201
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: you could compare it to today in terms of social

202
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 1: media and just the publicity that this show gets, I mean,

203
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: how would you wrap it up? I mean it's completely different,

204
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: isn't it? Well, completely different because there was no social

205
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: media then. So yeah, I think that you know, it's

206
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: kind of interesting because people were often often compared to

207
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: the fact that, oh, well, you know, like when when

208
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: I was on The Bachelor, I think the season had

209
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: like twenty million viewers a week or something like that,

210
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: and and it was obviously considered it to be a

211
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: big hit. Well, now it doesn't have as many viewers

212
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: every week because it doesn't need to. It's got you know,

213
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: it might have ten million viewing a week on television

214
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: and then another fifty million viewing on Instagram and and

215
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: you know, on online and every other way that they

216
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: can watch television. So I always think that's really funny

217
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: when they try to compare the ratings because it's just

218
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 1: not the same thing anymore. It's a total different beast,

219
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 1: it is. And and so just to give some clarity here,

220
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: you were what number of Bachelor? I was the fourth Bachelor.

221
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: I was in the first season of The Bachelor at

222
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: and in the fourth Bachelor, I was the twentieth Bachelor.

223
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: Bob crazy, and You're considered a fossil now, to see

224
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: how it feels, it feels weird. I was. I was

225
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: just thinking about the other day and and how I am.

226
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: I'm almost you know, two and a half years removed

227
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: from my little go around and and I look back

228
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: and my life has changed a ton from it. But

229
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: you were also on season one of The Bachelorette. Correct, Yes, yes,

230
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: I was on trist this season and then after that

231
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: they asked me to be the Bachelor, So yeah, it

232
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: was that was an experiment and of itself too because

233
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: I think I think I kind of gave well Trista

234
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: really gave to the whole um you know, be on

235
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: one season to lead to the next thing, but um,

236
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 1: as it went from the guys, I think I kind

237
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: of helped start that trend. The other guys had before

238
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: me had been Alex Michelle who was the first Bachelor,

239
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 1: and then um Aaron Bergee who's uh was the second Bachelor,

240
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: and then Andrew Firestone. So Andrew and I always joke

241
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: that we're like, you know, we're the dinosaurs. So we're

242
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 1: the ones that are still upright and walking thankfully but

243
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: just barely. And two of the best, like honestly the

244
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 1: best dudes. Though also I want to say that like

245
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: you and Andrew um have been great to me. As

246
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 1: you know, I was kind of shell shocked and wide

247
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: eyed as I started this whole experience, and uh, and

248
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: just through the whole thing. I met you at um

249
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 1: actually Jaden Tanner's wedding for the first time you both

250
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: and ever since then, um, you've just been awesome. So

251
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: I want to throw that into and make sure everybody

252
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: listening knows that two of two of the oldest are

253
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: two of the best. M Ashley, what do you think,

254
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,079
Speaker 1: I mean, if you were on Bob's season, had you

255
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: see that going down? Do you think there's there was

256
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 1: a chance that you guys may be connect that I

257
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: was going to probably like seven. I think I was

258
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 1: definitely in high school. I was most aware of you

259
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: because my mom actually loved that you married the girl

260
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: from all my children because she loves Yeah. Yeah, yeah,

261
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: that was a big deal back in the day. But

262
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: you just got remarried. I did, yes, yeah, And you know,

263
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: for the for the record, my Acts and I are

264
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 1: still very friendly. So that's actually a nice byproduct of

265
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,719
Speaker 1: something that you know, we we actually met in an

266
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: indirect way as part of the Bachelor. I went on

267
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 1: show to me fun of the Bachelor. That's how I

268
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: met her in the first place. She hosted a show

269
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 1: that you know, poked fun at the whole franchise, and

270
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: I love making fun of myself, so I went on

271
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: and that's how we met. And then uh, we were

272
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: together seven years and split up and then I kind

273
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: of vowed to never be married again. I've told this

274
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: to Bend before it and I was like, you know,

275
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: I just maybe I don't know. And then when you

276
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: meet the right person, you know, it just clicks. And

277
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 1: thankfully I did. And we are actually celebrating our one

278
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: year anniversary technically in two weeks on November eleventh. But

279
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: a little, a little insider scoop was we got married

280
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: in Mexico, and um, if you if you get married

281
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: in internationally, if you get married in Mexico, you have

282
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: to actually have like your blood drawn and test plate

283
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: X ray and all this kind of stuff when you're there.

284
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: So even though November eleventh is our anniversary, we actually

285
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: got married a year ago today. Pause. Thanks, Hey, Bob,

286
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: I want to know, Hi, I miss you. I want

287
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: to know. I know you gotta let us know when

288
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: you're here. By the way, we would love to see you.

289
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: But looking back now, do you think you could have

290
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: fallen in love on the show, Like, do you think

291
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: it's possible the way it is now. Yeah, Um, well

292
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: you know, I don't. I mean, I guess anything is possible,

293
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, you you do still see. Um,

294
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: you know, some people come out of their successfully and

295
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: I think that's great. I think that, um, you know,

296
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: I'd be really near sighted if I said there's no

297
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: way that it could happen. But um, I feel like

298
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: for me, you know, I'm I'm a little bit skeptical

299
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: at times. And I think that you know, you have

300
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: people going on there that are you know, before they

301
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: even get to the show, they're already you know, making

302
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: sure they're putting their Instagram on blast for like to

303
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: know it and what they're wearing today. So I mean,

304
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: it's it's a it's a kind of a different, different

305
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: thing at this point. I think a lot of people

306
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: are are definitely there for what comes next as opposed to,

307
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: you know, what comes back for them personally and possibly

308
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: uh professionally, as opposed to what comes next for them

309
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: in a relationship. And I think that, you know, when

310
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: we were doing it, I mean it's it's kind of

311
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: like you know, talking to your grandplay Like I walked

312
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: up till the school both ways barefoot, you know, it's

313
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: kind of like that kind of a mentality. But when

314
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: we did it, it wasn't it hadn't become the vehicle

315
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: that it is now for everyone to kind of capitalize upon.

316
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: So it was it was. I wouldn't say it was

317
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: a purer time because they were definitely still people there

318
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: just looking for fifteen minutes and trying to have fun

319
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: and um, and then there were people there that we're

320
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: really looking for relationships. So I think I would have

321
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: probably been hard press. You know, I'm not a I'm

322
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: Ben and I have a lot of similar characteristics, like

323
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: I'm not the guy who you know, is going to

324
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: fight for my chance to talk to somebody. And then

325
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: I'm also I'm also a little bit uh leary of

326
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: the people that come out there with a game plan

327
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: ahead of time, So I would I would have probably

328
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: gotten killed on the show nowadays. Well, Bob, speaking of professions,

329
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: and after the show, you definitely were a media figure

330
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: for a while. You were doing a lot of hosting, right.

331
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I got really lucky. I mean, Oprah thought

332
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: it was funny on the back treat and and she

333
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: made me kind of she kind of put me in

334
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: the spot to be the Next Bay, but she sort

335
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: of said that on the air, actually say she stored

336
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: of said it, but on the air she said, I

337
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: want possibly the next batchman. That was kind of it.

338
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: But then um watched the show back then. I wonder

339
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: if she watches the show now. I don't know. I

340
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: don't know, but she definitely is responsible for me having

341
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: all the opportunities that I had, and she became a

342
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: you know, a wonderful shouting board for me and gave

343
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: me a lot of opportunities, like just to do things

344
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 1: on her show, you know. I mean I did her

345
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 1: so probably seven nine times something like that, which got

346
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: me hosting on the Street, and that was my first

347
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 1: reel for hosting was pretty much all Oprah and then

348
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: um yeah, and then I just yeah, you're you're right.

349
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 1: I got a lot of opportunities from it at the time,

350
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: you know, in into this day, I mean, I still

351
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: do a bunch of stuff, but I don't do as

352
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 1: much of the hosting stuff because frankly, the TV hosting

353
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 1: stuff for me wasn't It was a lot of travel

354
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: and you know, driving around the van with the production

355
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: crew for sixteen weeks, and as much as I loved

356
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: doing it, it was exhausted. And so now I do

357
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 1: a lot of the live event hosting. I still do

358
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: a ton of that and I really enjoy it. One off,

359
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: we go to a weekend in Chicago, go to weekend

360
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: do or Lando, and um, I mean and that was

361
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 1: thirteen years ago that I was on the batchelor. So

362
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 1: I guess, I guess you're right. Yeah, I got a

363
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of a lot of leg room

364
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: out of it, which has been nice. So what do

365
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 1: you say your job is now? Um, you know, I

366
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 1: think I have a bunch of them. I mean, you know,

367
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 1: say definitely, Yeah, I'm a jack of all trades for sure,

368
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: but really involved in real estate and um and you know,

369
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: one of the things I never quit my day job.

370
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 1: So even back in the day, I was involved in

371
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 1: finance and different things that nature, and I still am

372
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: today and and um, you know, so I mean I

373
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: have kind of my seat and a bunch of different

374
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: things I guess in my hands and a bunch of

375
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 1: different things. But um, i'd say real estate. Big. I

376
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 1: still work, like I said, in the finance and insurance industry,

377
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 1: and um, and then you have to do a lot

378
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 1: of live event hosting and a lot of fun stuff

379
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: like that. And you know, I also got lucky too

380
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 1: because I got picked up right away by the guys

381
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: that were forming this band called Band from TV and

382
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: it was all for charity, and it was all for

383
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,120
Speaker 1: fun and amy we've done a bunch of the Emmy

384
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 1: back in the day as well, and Hugh Laurie and

385
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: you know, all these guys that I was fans of

386
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: asked me to be in this band with them and

387
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,199
Speaker 1: we would play all these cool events and then just

388
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: give all the money charity. And even though I didn't

389
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: make a fraction of what they made, it was actually

390
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: kind of a fun thing to be able to do

391
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: and not have to worry about it. You know, from

392
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 1: the standpoint of looking too opportunistic. It was like, yeah,

393
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: well we're doing this, but children's talked about gets my money.

394
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,679
Speaker 1: People that don't. For people that don't know that are

395
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: just getting to know you listening. Bob is a great singer.

398
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: I got I got a big question for you. Go

399
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: to switch gears here. Um, you gave me some amazing

400
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 1: advice on on like you you mentioned earlier, like on

401
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: relationships and on love and about kind of pursuing your

402
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 1: your match and when you find that person, you'll know it.

403
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,479
Speaker 1: You You've been great for me and that in that way. Um,

404
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 1: we're getting ready for a new season of The Bachelor

405
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: with somebody who, um, you know, has kind of took

406
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 1: a break from the show for a while. What would

407
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: be your advice for a What do you even think

408
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: about Ari? You know, I've I've gotten to know Ri

409
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 1: over the years. I actually really like carry and I

410
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 1: was it was kind of funny. I think we were

411
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: talking about our our buddy thread when we were like,

412
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know who the next guy is,

413
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 1: but who should it be? And what do you think?

414
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 1: And you and I even spoke a little bit about

415
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 1: Ri in particular, and I think a really nice guy.

416
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: I think that you know, he has been around the

417
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: franchise for a long time, and um, you know, maybe

418
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: I mean I get it that some people are kind

419
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 1: of like, you know, who is this dude? You know,

420
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: but maybe having a little bit more time in between

421
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: his experiences on the show maybe have given him some

422
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: type of perspective. I don't know, you know, I mean,

423
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: he might actually be at the point where he's ready

424
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: to make it, make a move and settle down and

425
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: have a relationship. But then conversely, you know, and I

426
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: know everyone saw it where the girl was basically saying

427
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 1: she got broken up with so he could becoming a bachelor.

428
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: So I don't know, I don't know what that means,

429
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know what it means for for

430
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: any of it. But I think it's just it's such

431
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 1: a you know, it's living in your life in such

432
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: a vacuum when you go on the show and then

433
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: you know, as you guys know, you come off of it,

434
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 1: and it's kind of like your whole world is still

435
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,360
Speaker 1: kept going while you were here, you know, handing out

436
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: flowers or hoping to get a flower, whichever side of

437
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 1: the point you're on. Yeah, so I think it's kind

438
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: of interesting. I don't I think no one can really

439
00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 1: know what it's like until they go through it. Everyone

440
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 1: will have an opinion for sure, but until they actually

441
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: go through it themselves, they won't know what how they're

442
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: going to react or what they're gonna do. And hopefully

443
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: are we we'll we'll find something. You know. I think

444
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,360
Speaker 1: somebody said the other day I read it that they're saying,

445
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if he's on a show

446
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: with a bunch of twenty three year old you know

447
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: how he's going to feel about that. And yeah, well

448
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: that's good to know. I guess it would be beautiful.

449
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know him that well, so but yeah,

450
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously I go into every season. I think,

451
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,439
Speaker 1: just like every fan of the show does, I'm like

452
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,679
Speaker 1: hopeful and really excited that you know, it's for me.

453
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: It's always about and I hate to say this, but

454
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: even when Ben was a Bachelor, and I love Ben,

455
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 1: but it was you know, okay, who are all these

456
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: people and what their personalities? And you know who's who's

457
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: going to be the one who says I'm not here

458
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 1: to make friends, and who's gonna be the one that

459
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: does it. There's become these roles. You know, Hey, Bob,

460
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 1: I got I gotta get to the nitty gritty of

461
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: your own season. I hear that you were the sluttiest bachelor.

462
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: I teased this last week, and I must um, you know,

463
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 1: I owe it to the almost same as listeners. How

464
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: many girls did you sleep with during your season. I

465
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: heard all of our listeners. I've said this for years.

466
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: You go back and watch that season, you tell me

467
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: how many women you see me sleep? But I didn't. Oh, yeah,

468
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: of course you're not going to show you city with

469
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: more than three. Yeah. I don't know where that story

470
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: came from. I always thought it was. It was kind

471
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: of really like a crazy moment when it came out.

472
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: I was watching a recap show with with Mike Slice.

473
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: He's on I think he's doing either something and he

474
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: looked at the screen and he's like, that's my man, Bob.

475
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 1: And I was like watching it with my mom and

476
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: my grandma, and I was like, oh my god, what

477
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: just happened. I don't believe you for a second. Give

478
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: us a blast on the past, like who do you

479
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 1: stay in touch with from your Bachelorette's season or your

480
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,959
Speaker 1: Bachelor's season? Um, well when from the bachelotte season? Uh?

481
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: Amy youn't remember this name? But you guys might not

482
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 1: have been and actolutely right not but Jamie blythe I

483
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,199
Speaker 1: think it's awesome. He was a professional basketball player, a

484
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 1: great guy. Oddly enough, I mean Estella and Kelly Joe,

485
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: who were my final two. I keep in touch with

486
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: them quite a bit. Um. Yeah, a girl named Julie Smith,

487
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: who uh I actually sent home on the first night

488
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: because I just really frankly never got to talk to her.

489
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 1: I've become great friends with her over the years because

490
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: of our affiliation with a good Huckey Derby And then, um, yeah,

491
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's kind of crazy. Kevin touched with

492
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: quite a few of people from the show. Um. And

493
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: then as you know, it build year over year, you

494
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 1: get to know more people from different seasons and and

495
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: stuff like that. So that's baiful. I'm always on a

496
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 1: text thread with about young dudes trying to ask advice,

497
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna ask your advice again. I do want

498
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:52,400
Speaker 1: to know if you just said it, and it brought

499
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: up a question of mine. So your friends, you stay

500
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 1: in contact with your final two, how have you gone

501
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 1: about doing that? Like, what was the process of being

502
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 1: friendly with him? Because you know, for me, that just

503
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: seems weird or different, I guess, So how how did

504
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 1: that all work out? And before you answer that, um,

505
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: parted my ignorance, But did you get engaged at the

506
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 1: end of your season? No? I didn't, Okay, it was

507
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: there pressure to get engaged. Well, I think there's an

508
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: inherent pressure, you know, you've got At the time, Harry

509
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: Winston was the jury designer for the show, and you know, um,

510
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: and that was a lot of pressure. Going down to

511
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: the Harry Winston store in Beverly Hills and having filmed

512
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: me look at rings and stuff. That stressed me out

513
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: to no end. But and I remember like it was yesterday,

514
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: which is crazy, but yeah, there was definitely pressure. I

515
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: wouldn't say it was necessarily um like overtly spoken of

516
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: like you have to do this. It wasn't anything like

517
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 1: that by any means it was, but it was definitely

518
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: one of those things that it was. It was expected,

519
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 1: you know. And I just I felt like, you know,

520
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: I was a little cynical and kind of looking at

521
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 1: the show in a way that I was like, man,

522
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: I like both of these girls, But what if I

523
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: stopped out of his vacuum. I don't really know if

524
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,239
Speaker 1: I know him. And I had this kind of just

525
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 1: I was second guessing everything at that point and um,

526
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,199
Speaker 1: and so I didn't propose, but I did give a

527
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: promise ring um to a Stella and um and she

528
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: got to keep it. And you know, we put it

529
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: on her right hand, and everyone thought it was a

530
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: cop out at the time, but thankfully Oprah jumped in

531
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: and she saved me. She she kind of killed everyone.

532
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 1: Hey man, I think that's a good move. And I said,

533
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: oh my god, thank you. Overra doomed the second you

534
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 1: gave her that promise, ring, I'm like, she's I know, well,

535
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: you know what though, it was one of those things,

536
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: and I really meant this sincerely. I was like, we'll

537
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: see what happens when the cameras are off. And in

538
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: my mind, I was like, this could be an awesome story,

539
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 1: you know, like six six weeks from now, eight weeks

540
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,360
Speaker 1: from now to you know, three years from now. Who

541
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: never knows what it is. But wouldn't it be awesome

542
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 1: if we got engaged and got married, you know, And

543
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: but it just wasn't in the cards for us, and

544
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 1: and and so to answer your question, then, it wasn't

545
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: easy at first because quite honestly, they both hated me,

546
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 1: and I was kind of in that spot where it

547
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: was like, oh, Danna, I couldn't you know, win for losing?

548
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 1: But then um, yeah, I'm sure it kind of came around,

549
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: you know, slowly, but surely, Um, I would say, I

550
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: don't know how it happened, But several years later, um

551
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: A Spella and I reconnected and you know, had coffee

552
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: and just had a nice conversation and she's just wonderful.

553
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: And then Kelly Joe and I kept in touch. Um

554
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,959
Speaker 1: again a few years later somehow randomly got connected through

555
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: friends about something and talked and you know, she's very happy,

556
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,439
Speaker 1: married and her kids, and it was it was just

557
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: it was kind of cool to connect at a different

558
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 1: point in your life when it's not still that weird

559
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: kind of pressure of William Alonely, you know, it was

560
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: more like, you know, okay, clearly we didn't and now

561
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 1: we're moving on as friends, and we liked something about

562
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: each other, so let's focus on the stuff we liked

563
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: about each other and not worry about trying to make

564
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: it romantic. And it was pretty adult, I have to say,

565
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: pretty growing up of us. So okay, I mean, that's

566
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 1: that's good to know. Yeah, that's that is kind of

567
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 1: how that all goes down too, because you do who

568
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,239
Speaker 1: have this crazy cool experience together. You've obviously have like

569
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: fond memories with each other, and you have respect for

570
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: each other, and so I you know, I think that's

571
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: incredible that you can still stay close. Um, but it's

572
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 1: also you know, it speaks to who you are as

573
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 1: a person too, that you know women, and yeah, j J.

574
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: Lane just continues to call you literally the go no

575
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 1: matter how it. So he's such a funny guy. I

576
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: love that guy. When I met him at that you know, so,

577
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: I mean you're speaking about at the wedding, you know.

578
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: I I had such reservations about going to the Jadene

579
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: Canner wedding because quite honestly, I didn't know them, you know,

580
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: and I was really concerned. I mean, I knew what

581
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: I saw on television and I liked them, and I

582
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,479
Speaker 1: kind of thought they don't lot the other wedding, you know,

583
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 1: I don't feel like it's great that I go, and um,

584
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 1: and I was so glad that I did, because I

585
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,159
Speaker 1: got to meet all of you guys and actually, you know,

586
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: see that the people I'm watching on TV are just

587
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 1: as cool as I thought they would be. And in

588
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 1: some cases, like like with JJ, I got to know

589
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: him and I was like, oh my god, this guy's hilarious,

590
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: you know, and I just love them and and thought

591
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: it was just so much fun and so it was

592
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 1: really kind of a for me. It was awesome to

593
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 1: get to meet everybody at that at that wedding and

594
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: I first probably got something of you and and uh

595
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: you know and love kind of connecting the dots that way.

596
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: So yeah, I was glad I did it. You know,

597
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be talking to you guys, they probably I'm

Speaker 1: Great to me. All right, thank you so much. Thanks guys.

611
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: All right, so you know what's a constant between the

612
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: old seasons and the new seasons. You know there isn't

613
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: a lot, but I would like to know what is

614
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: a constant actually wine wine it is and that's why

619
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:22,920

620

647
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: to tell you before I close out. We were in

648
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: Chicago for the Cubs game five a week and a

649
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 1: half ago, to see them get whooped on by the

650
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 1: Dodgers and wine afterward. No, no, I wish that was

651
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: the case. She literally left early the next day We're

652
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: going to go out to breakfast and everything. They left

653
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: early because Wink was arriving to our house and she

654
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: needed to be there to sign off. That's excited, she

655
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: gets so Wink comes before children. Um, how great is Bob.

656
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: He's a doll and has been for a hundred years. Yeah,

657
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: I mean, and I mean, I mean it's in the

658
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: Bob my heart. There's this world is so odd, and

659
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: you do get thrown into something that you have no

660
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: clue how to navigate, and you have no clue what

661
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: to expect. And and for me, I was very nervous

662
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: and very anxious to the whole thing. And you know,

663
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: meeting people like Bob and people like you actually, and

664
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: people like Amy and these people in the thread, you know,

665
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 1: the people, the people that have been there before me.

666
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: Um has really helped me navigate this and so Bob

667
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 1: has been a huge piece of that. I appreciate Bob

668
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 1: and it's awesome he comes on the podcast. I think

669
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: we should have them back more often. Yeah, I know,

670
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: we gotta get him in studio. He's great. Maybe we

671
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: can do some music with him too. Well. Bob is great,

672
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: and the switch gears a little bit. We want to

673
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: talk about some recent news that had just affected bachelination.

674
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: This is a Bachelor Podcast. And and so if we

675
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: didn't talk about it, we want to be doing our jobs. UM.

676
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 1: But in order to do that, we brought in an

677
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: educated guest who knows the situation and can just fill

678
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 1: us in on the line. Right now, we have Jackie

679
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 1: from the Hollywood Reporter Jackie, how you doing? Hi, guys,

680
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: I'm doing well. How are you? We're doing great? Jackie?

681
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: We uh, this worked last time. You're You're very good

682
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: to us through the current and tomorrow situation. UM. When

683
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 1: when heavy news kind of hits bachlination, we want to

684
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: report on it, but we also don't want to just

685
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: add our own personal opinions. We want to get the facts.

686
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 1: And so Jackie, you know more than we do. Can

687
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: you fill us in on what's going on? Yeah? So,

688
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: I don't know what you guys have been chatting about

689
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: before I joined UM, but not that that we haven't.

690
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: We haven't talked about anything yet, gotcha? Okay? Well? Um

691
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: A form her producer UM and the Bachelor Franchises, suing

692
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: Warner Brothers, which is the company that produces the show,

693
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: along with five show producers, claiming that she was sexually

694
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: harassed while she was working on the show, and then

695
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: terminated for complaining about the hostile environment. UM. So I

696
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 1: read the lawsuit. It was filed on Monday in Los Angeles,

697
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: and it is a twenty four page complaint UM. And

698
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: in there she's alleging sexual harassment, hustle work environment, sex discrimination, retaliation,

699
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:41,719
Speaker 1: failure to prevent harassment, and intentional fliction of to stress

700
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: and wrongful termination to give you an introduction, So, I mean,

701
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: what exactly does this mean in like how I mean,

702
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: I don't understand these this process at all. So these

703
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: this is what she's claiming happened. She's filed the report.

704
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: What are the next steps? Yeah? So I mean these

705
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 1: types I mean, wrongfold termination lawsuits are pretty common, um,

706
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 1: but anything involving sexual harassment in this current climate is

707
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: definitely going to get more attention, especially from the public. UM.

708
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean that if this went to court the

709
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: decision would be any different, but I think that there's

710
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 1: so much going on right now with things coming to

711
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 1: light in terms of Hollywood, especially with harass and allegations,

712
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 1: that this is definitely anything that's filed along these lines

713
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 1: is definitely going to You're going to see it in

714
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 1: the news. That's kind of my big question. So, because

715
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 1: I don't know a lot about the situation, you know,

716
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 1: but obviously the the Harvey Weinstein and those kind of

717
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: cases are coming up, and we're hearing about it a lot,

718
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 1: and people are starting to speak out and kind of

719
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: take a stand against sexual harassment. Um, just in general, why, now, like,

720
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: what do you think sparked this? You know all, you know,

721
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 1: all the stuff seems to be coming out. Now, what

722
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: was kind of the catalyst to make this such a

723
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 1: not just a very prevalent issue and in today's society. Well, So,

724
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: I didn't speak to the producer who filed this. Her

725
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 1: name is Becky steen Hook. I'm not sure if I'm

726
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: pronouncing her last name right. Um. She did give an

727
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: interview to The l A. Times um where she spoke

728
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 1: about the complaint, details some of the things that were

729
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 1: said in things that she's alleging, and she claims that

730
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 1: the producers were trying to embarrass her because of her

731
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: conservative views. Um. So I don't I don't know if

732
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 1: Harvey Weinstein spurred her to come forward at this moment

733
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:37,720
Speaker 1: in time. I mean, the story with him has certainly

734
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: opened the floodgates of Hollywood since he was first since

735
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: The first report about Weinstein came out early in October. Obviously,

736
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 1: the tally to women is now north of sixty UM

737
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 1: and seems to be growing. And there have been a

738
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: lot of other powerful figures in Hollywood who have also

739
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 1: had claims leveled against them, and people are taking action. UM.

740
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 1: So it does seem to be spurring women and even

741
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,280
Speaker 1: Meant to come forward and tell stories about being her asked.

742
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 1: But I don't know if that's what spurred her. I

743
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 1: can't speak to that because I didn't speak directly to her.

744
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 1: But it is kind of what we're seeing in Hollywood

745
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: at the moment, where people are empowered to speak up.

746
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 1: It becomes challenging in that. Um, there's so much gray

747
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: area here, so it's really hard to sort of know

748
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 1: what's right, what's wrong, what one person is comfortable with

749
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: somebody else isn't. So it's it's really hard to sort

750
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: of have opinions on them. Yeah, And I mean Warner

751
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 1: Brothers released the statement pretty quickly, and they said that

752
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: they investigated earlier this year, UM, I assume when they

753
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 1: found out about the allegations, and they said that what

754
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 1: they found didn't match what was claimed in the lawsuit. Um.

755
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 1: And they actually used the word disappointed, so they were

756
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:56,839
Speaker 1: disappointed that the lawsuit was filed. So it does from

757
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 1: that statement it sounds like they did investigated and they

758
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 1: were aware of these claims, um, and that they were

759
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 1: brought to them earlier this year. So it really next

760
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: it comes down to how Warner Brothers is going to respond. Um.

761
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: They could file a motion to the smith. This could

762
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: be negotiated outside the courtroom. UM. And if she you know,

763
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 1: if she's speaking out, she could also continue to speak

764
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:27,320
Speaker 1: out and tell her story. So there's a few ways

765
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 1: that this could go from here. We're just I mean,

766
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 1: I think we said it, like and then all of

767
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 1: this we're just at the tip of the iceberg. Like

768
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: this still has to still play out. Um. We don't

769
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 1: know how it will. But wherever the case the claims

770
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 1: have made. The article came out on in the l

771
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: A Times. Do you plan on speaking to Becky the producer,

772
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 1: I'm not at the moment. We don't have a request

773
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: in to speak with her. We're just monitoring, UM, how

774
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: this is happening, what's going on, and what the next

775
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 1: steps are going to be. It seems like she has

776
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 1: said everything at this point. That she could say, and

777
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,919
Speaker 1: I think if there's the next step taken, we would

778
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 1: probably reach out and get more of the story. Perfect. Well,

779
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 1: Hey Jackie, thank you again for coming on almostly this podcast.

788
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 1: from the serious to the fun, we're going into segment emails, Okay, UM,

789
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 1: now I have to go through and see which ones

790
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: are think are the most important. I think this is

791
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:52,879
Speaker 1: very interesting. Um, hi guys from Rachel. Six years ago,

792
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 1: my college boyfriend and I broke up to go to

793
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:58,879
Speaker 1: different law schools. We've been having serious relationships since and

794
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,879
Speaker 1: grown as individual during our time of part Now we're

795
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 1: rekindling our relationship at a time in life we're settling down.

796
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:08,320
Speaker 1: Actually makes sense. He's all in, but I'm still hesitant.

797
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: My question relates to something that Amy brought up last

798
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:14,399
Speaker 1: week regarding this issue of timing. Can people really break

799
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: up and get back together without it being a complete

800
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 1: and total dream wreck? Um, I like said last week,

801
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 1: I was like, I think timing is usually an excuse,

802
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,320
Speaker 1: but in this case, I think it's kind of romantic.

803
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 1: I think like you guys were in the right place

804
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 1: of your life or your careers UM or even just

805
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 1: like um personal growth to like settle down. But now

806
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: that you've gotten to know yourself better and you're both

807
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: at this place in life career wise, that you feel

808
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: like it's ready to settle, you're ready to settle down.

809
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 1: I think there's actually this could be really awesome. There's

810
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 1: a whole new trend in this. I think it's awesome. Um.

811
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 1: I feel like you had that spark in that chemistry initially,

812
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 1: but now you're in a place where, like you can

813
00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 1: really explore it. Supposedly because of like Facebook, Instagram, all

814
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 1: these things. Um, people are marrying other people, getting divorced

815
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 1: and then reconnecting with their high school or college boyfriends

816
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: or friends and then dating again. What do you think, Ben, Uh?

817
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 1: You know, honestly, I said, I think I don't. I

818
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 1: forget I was talking to about this. But I recently

819
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:19,839
Speaker 1: was just talking to somebody and I said, there's there's

820
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 1: a lot of my friends are married, and they're in

821
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: serious relationships and very and they all have very healthy,

822
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 1: good thriving marriages and relationships, and very few of them

823
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 1: have stayed together throughout the whole dating process. Most of

824
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: them had broken up at least maybe for a week

825
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 1: or two weeks or sometimes longer, and then we got

826
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 1: back together. Because I think you get really really nervous,

827
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 1: and you start to question I was just the right

828
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: thing or not. But then when you break up, you

829
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 1: separate and you realize, wait, that really was the right person,

830
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 1: that really was the right snail. So I agree with you. Actually,

831
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 1: I think it's romantic. I think it's somewhat intelligent because

832
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 1: now in today's world, we're always looking, you know, for

833
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 1: what's next and what's better. You've tried out what's next

834
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 1: and what's better, and you've realized that what you had

835
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 1: before was the best thing. Um, And so I think

836
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 1: you might be actually a little more confident in the

837
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:08,399
Speaker 1: relation too, if you gave it that time to step away. Um.

838
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:12,360
Speaker 1: I was watching Demilovado's documentary this weekend of course you were. Yeah,

839
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 1: and she talks about, you know, her relationship with Wilma

840
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: vol Drama and how she was with him from the

841
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 1: age of eighteen to twenty four. So it wasn't like

842
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,359
Speaker 1: they lost their spark or anything. But she said, like,

843
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,760
Speaker 1: as somebody who's really never seriously been with somebody else,

844
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 1: I feel like I need to take a few years

845
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: off and like get to know myself better. But she

846
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 1: doesn't rule out rekindling it in the future. That's it, Yeah,

847
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 1: I mean that's the thing. And so you've gotten to

848
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 1: know somebody, you separate, you get back together. I think

849
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 1: your relationship could be healthier for and you've had chance

850
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 1: to miss each other, which is such an important little

851
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: characteristic in relationships hit feeling what life is like without

852
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:53,320
Speaker 1: them by your side at all times. Um So, hey, Rachel,

853
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 1: trust it, it's a good thing. Let the guy back in.

854
00:41:57,160 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 1: He wants you, I need you on the Danielle Asa

855
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 1: asks my question for you both as how do you

856
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 1: deal with being in a house of gorgeous women for

857
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:10,320
Speaker 1: actually and very handsome men for Ben and not compare

858
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: yourself or do you let your um insecurity psych you

859
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 1: out of putting yourself out there. I can't help but

860
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 1: notice that all the women on the show are stunning

861
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 1: and yet thin, while all the men are buff and

862
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 1: fit and yes that includes you. Ben, is Bachelor Nation

863
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 1: not ready for a plus size bachelorette or its cast members?

864
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:31,359
Speaker 1: Will the dad Bod Bachelor ever received the same sort

865
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 1: of love we just talked to Bob, so he has

866
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: a lot of love, I think, Ben. I mean, I

867
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 1: think Bob was the the Dad Bob Bachelor, and he

868
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 1: was an early on Bachelor, so I think they're open

869
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 1: to that. I would have to say that they're probably

870
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:51,839
Speaker 1: more opened to a dad Bob Bachelor than they would

871
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 1: be to a cushier bachelorette though. Um you think that, Ben? Um? Yeah,

872
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:02,399
Speaker 1: I mean I don't really know. I don't. I would

873
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 1: think they'd be ready for anything. I mean, as long

874
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 1: as that person is looking to find somebody. And I

875
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:10,720
Speaker 1: think in today's world, the franchise is looking for healthy

876
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 1: relationships so badly that they they don't I mean, they're

877
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:16,799
Speaker 1: just wanting to find people ready to find love. Um,

878
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 1: I don't. I guess, I don't know. I would have

879
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 1: to talk to the casting department about if they're ready

880
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: for a plus size or not. But you know, I mean,

881
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 1: I think for me, the big part of that question

882
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 1: is comparing yourself to everybody. Right, if your plus size,

883
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 1: if you have the dad about if you're not as

884
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:32,839
Speaker 1: ripped as everybody, you know, how do you go about

885
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: not comparing yourself? And I don't. I just don't think

886
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: that's true. I compared myself the whole time. It messes

887
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 1: with you. I have to stand next to the sham

888
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 1: booths of the world and and look at you know,

889
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 1: him doing push ups with his veins popping out, and

890
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 1: and it's tough, it is, and and I just think

891
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 1: it's such a you know, we talked about all the time,

892
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 1: and it's such a hard kind of world for for

893
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 1: people to grow up in. And until they're really confident

894
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,879
Speaker 1: with each other in themselves. In today's world, you're gonna

895
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 1: instantly compare yourself. And and the true satisfaction comes from

896
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 1: knowing who you are as a person person, feeling good

897
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 1: about who you are, and and also taking steps in

898
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,359
Speaker 1: your life to make sure you feel good about yourself. Right,

899
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's a healthy thing to do,

900
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 1: is this to try to take one step at a time.

901
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 1: And we're gonna talk about one way to take a

902
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 1: good step and clean your skin with our next sponsor

903
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 1: and you'd feel better about yourself. But no, you're gonna

904
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 1: constantly compare. Don't think that you're abnormal for that. But

905
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:30,360
Speaker 1: the truth is you have to continue to work to

906
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:32,839
Speaker 1: feel good about who you are as a person. Well,

907
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:34,840
Speaker 1: I should mention there was a plus size model on

908
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:38,959
Speaker 1: my season. Um Chris actually eliminated her the night one,

909
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 1: but that had nothing to do with her size and

910
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 1: more of the fact that she was pretty darn't drunk. Yeah,

911
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:47,319
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the thing. I don't remember that. But

912
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 1: I'm excited for the day that the bachelorrette is represented

913
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,800
Speaker 1: from all people of all shapes and sizes, all colors.

914
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 1: You know. I think that's great. Uh, it's makes you know,

915
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 1: it's fun. It's it's good to hear people's stories and

916
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 1: here where they come from and who hear who they

917
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 1: are as people. I mean, I think that's why you

918
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,440
Speaker 1: fall in love with the Christina's of the world from

919
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 1: um nixt season is because her story was so powerful

920
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 1: and you could tell she had so much depth to

921
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:10,840
Speaker 1: her And that's what we want when we watch the

922
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 1: Bachelorette and Bachelor it's people of people, people that intrigue

923
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 1: us and interest us, and not just people that are

924
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 1: all the same. Uh. And I think we're taking steps

925
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 1: to get there. I mean I hope that the franchise

926
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:23,839
Speaker 1: is taking steps to get there. I mean, we had

927
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:27,360
Speaker 1: our first black bachelorette, so I would assume plus sizes.

928
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:31,240
Speaker 1: It's right around the corner. That's right, that's right. But hey, Ashley,

Speaker 1: will you tell all of our listeners about one way

00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:36,760
Speaker 1: to take a step to feel better about themselves? Yeah,
