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

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: with her radio. Hello everybody, Welcome to the first in

3
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: season episode of the Almost Famous podcast four years in

4
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 1: if that makes sense. So, guys, we have Katie Thurston

5
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:23,279
Speaker 1: season to recap episode one. I gotta say I was

6
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: pleasantly surprised. I'll be honest. I think based on our

7
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: podcast last week, you may know that my expectations were

8
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: kind of low. And I'll say that from the scenes

9
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: from the rest of the season, I don't know that

10
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 1: we're having we're getting anything monumental or totally different. But

11
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: I think that this is a nice group of guys,

12
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,279
Speaker 1: and I think that I'm getting tatious season vibes from them,

13
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: so I think they'll be fun to watch. Ben Higgins,

14
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: what is your initial impression of Katie's season? My initial

15
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: imp Russian. Well, here's the truth. I'll be honest. Come on,

16
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: it's so much more fun. Yeah. My my honest opinion

17
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: is it was kind of what I said last week.

18
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: I think Katie is going to be really great. I

19
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 1: think she's uh gonna be very likable. I don't feel

20
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,119
Speaker 1: like I still got to know anything more about her,

21
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: which is why Big announcement. We have Katie coming on

22
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: the podcast today right now, on this episode. After this segment,

23
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: the Bachelor at herself will be here. But to be honest,

24
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell Katie this, I don't feel like I

25
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: know anything about her. I don't feel like I knew

26
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: anything more about her from watching this episode. I enjoy

27
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,479
Speaker 1: her again. I think she has a lot of Caitlin

28
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: Bristow in her. I think she's gonna be a very

29
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: likable character. I think we're gonna relate with her in

30
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: a lot of ways. I think she's gonna take it seriously,

31
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: but it's gonna be funny, and she's gonna allow these

32
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: guys to relax a lot, which I would always say

33
00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: was Caitlin's best maybe best skill set for me personally,

34
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: was just that she allowed me to relax and be

35
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: myself and say stupid stuff and do stupid stuff, and

36
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 1: and But in terms of the episode itself, I thought

37
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: it was fine. But if anybody's listening to this thing

38
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: for four years, they've heard now eight different times from

39
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: me because of eight different seasons we had. I think

40
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: episode one is the worst episode of them all. Always,

41
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: No matter what, I don't I'm just not a fan

42
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: of episode ones because they just there. It feels like

43
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: I'm excited for the season to start, and then the

44
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: episode one hits and it's a little anti climatic, Like

45
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: I'm more of this episode five to the end type

46
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 1: of guy. I know. I mean same here. I think like,

47
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: I like the fact that this wasn't so like kitchy

48
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: and there weren't a lot of limo exits that were

49
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: like trying to be showy or overly funny and wacky.

50
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: So I liked that. Um, I think I got to

51
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,119
Speaker 1: get to know Katie a little bit more just by

52
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: the guys that she was showing interest in, Like she

53
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: loved the cat and I love that she loved the

54
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,399
Speaker 1: cats so much. There's a moment watching this episode where

55
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: I was like, Hey, I already like Katie. Yeah, just

56
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,239
Speaker 1: like don't know her, but I like her. And then

57
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: the guys that she showed the most like, it wasn't

58
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: the most handsome guys, it wasn't the guys that strutted

59
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: in and tried to be smooth, the guys that she

60
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: showed the most interesting in where the guys I was like,

61
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: I could hang out with that dude. Like she seems

62
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: to just want to have a good time. He seems

63
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: to be somebody that would make life interesting. Like I

64
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: was like, Hey, I'm I'm enjoying watching that. Yet You've

65
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: made a good point. We got to know her more

66
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: this episode by the guy she was interested in. HM. Alright, well,

67
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: we are going to get Katie on in a second,

68
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: but before we do that, let's take one quick break.

69
00:03:47,160 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: We'll be back with Katie the Bachelorette. We just mentioned

70
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: that the first part of the podcast that we have

71
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: a very special guest today. In fact, I couldn't think

72
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: of a more special guest than who is on the

73
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: podcast right now. Katie the Bachelor is here. Welcome Katie.

74
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: Hello everybody. Katie. We had just mentioned at the beginning.

75
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: I we've made it very clear to anybody listening we're

76
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 1: fans of you for multiple reasons, mostly just who you

77
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: are and what we think you can do in this role. Um.

78
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: But if I'm going to be honest with you about something,

79
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: there's one thing that's been difficult to process coming up

80
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 1: for this season. I don't feel like we know you

81
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: as well as others that have been on the lead. Uh,

82
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: for multiple reasons. You're you know, not there as long

83
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: as some others. Uh. You know, Matt season had a

84
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 1: lot of things going on, a lot of conversations that

85
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: had that weren't focused as much on the contestants in

86
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: their backstories. And then I watched episode one and I

87
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: still don't feel like I know you as much as

88
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: I want to. So if I gave you one minute

89
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: right now to tell the listeners and myself and Ashley,

90
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 1: who you are a support person, why we should get

91
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: behind you, what would you say? I mean? For me,

92
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: I'm just a regular person. And I think that's why

93
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: I'm so excited to be in this role. As people

94
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: get to see things that I've gone through and relate

95
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 1: to that. There's gonna be some really tough conversations, but

96
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: important ones that happened, and um yeah, people are gonna

97
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: get to know me more than they did. You know,

98
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 1: Unfortunately on Matt season. There's more to me than just

99
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: this like sex positive girl, Like I'm I have a

100
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: serious I I have an emotional side, a sensitive side.

101
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: Are you annoyed that they've made sex such a storyline

102
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 1: or did you kind of know going into this season

103
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: that you were going to have that be your theme

104
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: because you walked in with a vibrator and it was

105
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 1: kind of your theme on Matt season, I fully expected

106
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: there to be some you know, jokes around sex. Um,

107
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: But I will say that there's some important conversations that

108
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 1: come up about sex this season that I'm actually very

109
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: excited to have with Fashion Nation. What do you hope

110
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 1: I mean, if this is a storyline that you kind

111
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: of walked into, and I mean, I know when I

112
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: started my season, I didn't really know what this overarching

113
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 1: story was going to be other than the fact that

114
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: I felt like unlovable, Like I knew that was gonna stick,

115
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: just because that was kind of the thing. Um. And

116
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: so I had to and I'm sure you did, but

117
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: I had to process, like what do I want out

118
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 1: of this? Like what do I hope this represents? What

119
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,359
Speaker 1: do you hope your storyline represents? I mean, there's so

120
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: many different things with that. I mean, I want people

121
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: to see a love story, and I'll say there's more

122
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 1: than one that happened, um. But more importantly, these men

123
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: have great stories and I'm really excited for Bastination to

124
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 1: get to know them as well. Um. And so you

125
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: know that's what the show is about is watching people

126
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: fall in love, watching these stories, and a little less

127
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: of what we saw, you know, last season unfortunately, And

128
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: my hope is that this does feel like a refresh,

129
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: you know, back to back to basics, you know what

130
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: this is all about. Um, there's been a lot of

131
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 1: virgin storylines over the past six years, ever since well

132
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: but I don't want to say it, but me, um,

133
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: and I think there's a little bit of a double

134
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: standard for the girl versus the guy. I mean, the

135
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: only real well known guy virgin from the show is Colton,

136
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: and well that took a turn, and now we see

137
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: there's a male virgin on your season. When you hear that,

138
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: are you like, oh that's not sexy or you like, okay,

139
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: I can get down with that. I will say, the

140
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: moment I found out, you guys will be probably surprised,

141
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: just as I was in my reaction. I'll just leave

142
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: it at that. But I mean, and clarify for me

143
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: because I am not even a lot of these things.

144
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: And yes, I'm thirty two years old now, but I'm

145
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: learning when you when you say you're sex positive, that

146
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: includes the discussions about understanding where people are at and

147
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: that that's not just saying like, if you are actively

148
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: out there having sex, like you're out of my circle. Right, Oh? Absolutely.

149
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: I mean if you're a virgin, that's fine, that's your choice.

150
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: Sex positive is just about talking about it, being comfortable

151
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: with it, and not making it this like taboo topic

152
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: that's off limits and like no one wants to discuss it.

153
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: You know, it's something that should be just a normal

154
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: conversation amongst adults. It's awesome. Besides that component of you

155
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: know what you stand for? What do you feel like? Why?

156
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: What are the main reasons that you think the producers

157
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: chose you to be the bachelor at You know, I

158
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: just think I'm in a good place in my life,

159
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: given like my age and my confidence, and I'm just

160
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: ready to really settle down. You know, when they asked me,

161
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: I certainly was surprised because you know, Ben, like you said,

162
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: you hardly got to know me, and that's right. There

163
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: were so many women who lasted longer who are just

164
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: as deserving. Um. But I think for me, I'm just

165
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: in the place in my life where I'm ready and

166
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: I'm open and I know that this can work. I think, Uh, yes,

167
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: it was a shocking choice because we didn't know you,

168
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 1: but I do see how it fits. One of those

169
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: ways it it is. There's just a lot of uh

170
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 1: for the for the best of reasons, and there's not

171
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: many negative I could speak of. There's a lot of

172
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: Caitlin Bristol qualities that you and her share, Like you're

173
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 1: very like and just like and I and I said

174
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: this before you came on. One of the thing that

175
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: stood out to me most about Caitlin Bristow was she

176
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:23,199
Speaker 1: allowed the contestants to be comfortable, like from the get go,

177
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:24,839
Speaker 1: Like she just allowed me to take a deep breath

178
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: and be Okay, I don't have to be put together

179
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: all the time. You did that in episode one. I

180
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: think that's the one thing that stood out to me

181
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: was like, I know I like Katie now, I really

182
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: like Katie because you showed interest and some of the

183
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: guys that, like in past seasons maybe wouldn't get as

184
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: much attention, like the guy with the cat sue. Um,

185
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: is that just who you're attracted to? Like what like

186
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: do you feel like you can make people comfortable? There?

187
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 1: Is that kind of one of your goals? Yeah, I

188
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 1: think for me, I don't have a type when it

189
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: comes to physical appearance, and so I really had to

190
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: get to know these guys on a personal level. You know,

191
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 1: if you see the people I did in the past,

192
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: it all look very different. And so whereas you say

193
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: like the cat costume or like the shy guy, like,

194
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: I'm just very open and getting to know their hearts.

195
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: I also want to add that you're kind of similar

196
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: to Tatia as a bachelorette in the way that, Yeah,

197
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 1: you're a little nervous before the first couple of guys

198
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: came out of the limo. You can sense that, but

199
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 1: once you've got in the group of things, it felt

200
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: like you were super comfortable in your skin conducting the crowd,

201
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Yeah, I think do you

202
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: feel that way? Yeah? Initially it was obviously very scary

203
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: when I thought I was doing it alone as well,

204
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: but when Tatsia and Caitlin kind of surprised me, that

205
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: was a big weight lifted. Then the guys started making

206
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: me laugh that just kind of broke the ice as well,

207
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: and by the end of the night, I was just like, Wow,

208
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: this night just flew by. Did you feel did you

209
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: think that there's gonna be any host? And how do

210
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 1: you feel about being the first Bachelor Bachelorette season that

211
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 1: Chris Harrison doesn't host. Yeah, when I went into it,

212
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: nobody told me anything, and so I really did think

213
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: I was doing it alone, or I thought maybe alumni

214
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: would show up here and there for dates or whatever. Um.

215
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: So I'm standing there and I mean you can see

216
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: with my expression like I am shocked and overwhelmed with

217
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: emotion that not only do I get one bachelor, I

218
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: had too who are they're helping me? And so to

219
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: have them there, it really it really made a difference

220
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: for me in moments where I thought I was going

221
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: to give up the there was a moment and that

222
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: I think I always love to ask the leads. Um,

223
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: there's a moment when you're standing there and all of

224
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 1: a sudden, I feel like television, as Ashley just mentioned,

225
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: we could see you take a deep breath and get comfortable.

226
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 1: But that was also a moment for me where I

227
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,439
Speaker 1: was standing in front of all the women, the head

228
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: came and it felt more like a dream than ever,

229
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: Like I almost broke down with emotion on just like

230
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: the idea of like how am I here? Not that

231
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: like this is the coolest, craziest thing I've ever like

232
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 1: that life can ever bring you. But like I feel

233
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: like I like I was chosen. I feel like people

234
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: said they wanted to be here for me. What was

235
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: that moment like for you to stand up in front

236
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: of them? Uh and two days before you weren't the

237
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: bachelor right yet, but that moment you were the bachelor

238
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: with all those guys that had arrived, I mean yeah,

239
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: like you said, it was like a dream. And even

240
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: leading into it, it was very hard for me to

241
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: even say it out loud, like I'm Katie on the Bachelors,

242
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: Like what is my life? And even now that we're done,

243
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: I'm still kind of looking at it like this is

244
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: so crazy, like watch me on TV and like that

245
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: that was my whole journey, Like it just flew by.

246
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: We saw that Matt had such an issue, um kind

247
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: of I don't. I don't know what he would the

248
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: exact issue was, but like he never had that healthy

249
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: relationship role model in his life, okay, right, so he

250
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: was like always scared about whether he was going to

251
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: be able to do it. And then you say at

252
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 1: the beginning of the episode that your parents that you

253
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: didn't you didn't really have that with your parents. Your

254
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: parents divorced when you were a baby. So do you

255
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: have any of those fears or do you always feel

256
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 1: like you're somebody who wanted to be married. I want

257
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: to be married, I think, I just I'm hesitant. And

258
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: that's why at thirty I'm still single, because I don't

259
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: want to end up like my parents did. But also

260
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: in that you don't watch what a healthy marriage looks like.

261
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 1: And so for me, the our mistakes I've made in

262
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: the past, that maybe howd I witnessed what a positive

263
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: relationship looks like. I would know, you know, red flags

264
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: to be on the lookout for, and what's you know

265
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: working and what's not Katie, there's one thing that we

266
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,319
Speaker 1: can point to though, that you know that we all

267
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: know you do very very well. Um, so you obviously

268
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: know how to have a relationship somehow because you have

269
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: a lot of friends. I watch you on Instagram and

270
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: you're surrounded by friends. Well, since we can and since

271
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: the world's opened up all the time, Um, what did

272
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: your friends think? And like, how have they supported you

273
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: through this? I mean they're excited for me and I'm

274
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: just like this social butterfly. Uh. In fact, in high

275
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: school I was voted most likely to be on reality TV,

276
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: so they weren't even actually surprised. I know, it's so crazy,

277
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: that's so funny. Okay, So you talked about relations you know,

278
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: not having those role models. How many series relationships have

279
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: you have? You have you had in the past. You

280
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: mentioned that one of the guys looks like your ex.

281
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: Did you think that as a good thing, like, oh

282
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: my gosh, he's gonna ruin me all over again, or

283
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: is that a bad thing? No, he looked like my

284
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: high school sweetheart, so there were some good vibes with that.

285
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: But I had I would say three serious relationships where

286
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: we lived together. Um, you know, there was a boyfriend

287
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: where I was going to buy a house with him.

288
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: So I've always very seriously dated and so to be

289
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: exposed to thirty mental at the same time, that was

290
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: more guys than I've ever been exposed to in my

291
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: entire life. So it's very different. Now, Katie, let's enter

292
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: into breaking down episode one just a bit with you here. Um,

293
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: we we've now seen episode one, We're into the season,

294
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: We're into the groove of this whole thing. As the

295
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: season starts, then this happens with every lease You're not

296
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: alone in this. There's gonna be something right now in

297
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: the back of your head that you're like, I'm nervous about. Um,

298
00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: I'm anxious about. I don't know if I want people

299
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: to see you. I don't know if I want the

300
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: public discussing it. Um. That happened for me for weeks.

301
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: In fact, I have more hair than now than I

302
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: did when I got off the show. Um. And that's

303
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: not a lie, that's true, Katie. What's sitting out there

304
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: right now? And if you can't go into details, that's fine,

305
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: But what's sitting out there that you're most nervous about.

306
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: I mean, nothing really comes to mind right away. I

307
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: do feel like I'm going to be watching this and

308
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: learn things that I could have done better. As a

309
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: generic statement, you know, there's this one moment where there's

310
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: a miscommunication and I'm I'm very interested in watching it

311
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: back and seeing, you know, was I in the wrong

312
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: or what was he or how could it have been

313
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: handled better? What about that scene where you're like, book

314
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: my flight, I'm out of here. That's dramatic, you saying

315
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: to the guys, if you're not here for the right reasons,

316
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: get out. Well, we hear that every season, but book

317
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: my flight, not every season. Give us a little teeth.

318
00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I felt like I was losing control out

319
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: of everything that was happening around me, and I started

320
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: to doubt my entire experience and I was just done.

321
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: I was exhausted mentally. I wanted to leave for sure. Okay,

322
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: I wish I would have said that. And then your season,

323
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: per Rumers wrapped about a week early. So I mean,

324
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: did your book your flight? Did they book it? Yeah? There.

325
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: I mean I think when you guys see the uh,

326
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: the ending of things that all kind of makes sense

327
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: on on why everything happened the way it did. This is, uh,

328
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to get really good at dodging these questions.

329
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: By the way, but there's so many different spins and

330
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: twists that people will try to put on you. Uh. Well,

331
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: we're excited to watch alongside you this whole time, and

332
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: we don't want to spoil anything. But one thing you

333
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: had mentioned before. You know, Matt's season had a lot

334
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: of topics discussed, and there's a lot of things that

335
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: happened in the midst of Matt's season, uh that have

336
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: now you know, had some type of consequence good or

337
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: bad on your season, right, Chris Harrison isn't there. But

338
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: one of the big things that stood out during that

339
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: season was the drama, and it was a focus of

340
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: the show. And here almost famous we were critical of that.

341
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: We didn't know who to blame, if it was the

342
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,959
Speaker 1: show itself or if it was the cast. And then

343
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: we watch your preview and it looked really great at first,

344
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 1: and then it looks really dramatic with a lot of

345
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: fights and a lot of arguments. Um, can you just

346
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 1: let us know, like, is this season what is it

347
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 1: gonna be like Matt's with the cast or does it

348
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 1: feel like a refresher? I think you guys are actually

349
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: gonna see a bromance like never seen before. The bond

350
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: that these guys have is it's very fun to watch.

351
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: I mean, of course there is some drama, but you know, overall,

352
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: I don't think that that's going to be the theme.

353
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: Do you remember Ben, how we thought that Tatia's season

354
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 1: was so great because it was genuinely generally drama free. Um,

355
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 1: I feel like watching your teaser, it's actually a big

356
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: fake out to us because I can like sense by

357
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: watching these so many times it's like they used the

358
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: Ambulance as drama. That's not really going to be drama.

359
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,439
Speaker 1: They use Blake as drama. I don't think Blake's going

360
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: to be drama. I think Blake probably comes in next

361
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: week and he's not a huge splash with the guys

362
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 1: because he comes in early enough. I think a lot

363
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: of the drama that we've seen in The Teacher is

364
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: gonna be fake drama. And I'm getting more Tasha vibes,

365
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: like we're actually going to see more of the love

366
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: and relationships developed. And I think that overall, in general,

367
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 1: we get more of the love and connection through the

368
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: Bachelorette franchise and we usually do with the Bachelor. Yeah,

369
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 1: I mean, I agree with you that someone someone who's

370
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 1: watched the show, the bachelorettes are always, you know a

371
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,439
Speaker 1: little more successful in finding their person. And so I

372
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: do hope that there is more love stories than any

373
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 1: kind of drama, for sure. Yeah, I hope. So Also

374
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: it's more fun to watch, and I will and I

375
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: don't mean I mean, I think you're gonna be your

376
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: own person. You're gonna shine in this in your own

377
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: unique way. We just haven't seen it yet. Um, because

378
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: we've only seen one episode, but with with Caitlin, which

379
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 1: is who right now? I see the most with Ashley

380
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: will say Asha her season was fairly drama free because

381
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: of who she was. She allowed the space for us

382
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,919
Speaker 1: to talk, She allowed us to be ourselves. She welcomed

383
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: the friendships, she didn't fight against them and get jealous

384
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 1: of them. And uh and so far, after watching episode one,

385
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: I feel like you you're going to do the same. Yeah.

386
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I wanted to be a good experience for everybody,

387
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: and I don't want anyone to be distracted by the drama.

388
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: You know, we're all here for one reason, so let's

389
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 1: make the best of it. And I think that's really

390
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: what happened. All right, let's get into the nitty gritty

391
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: of episode one. My biggest question after wrapping the episode

392
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 1: for you was I loved Greg. Thought Greg was awesome,

393
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: one of my favorites. I'm going to put him into

394
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: the top three that Ben is going to ask me

395
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 1: to predict later. But I really felt a stronger connection

396
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 1: with the cont with with the cat Connor. I was

397
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: shocked to see you picked Greg over Connor. Be Um

398
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:07,199
Speaker 1: what went into that decision? Um? Was there something with

399
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: your conversation with Greg that we didn't see that that

400
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 1: did make him rise above what you had with Connor,

401
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 1: because Connor and that kiss and the black nose and

402
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 1: you guys were like that physical chemistry was intense. I

403
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 1: mean you can view the first impression Rose as you know,

404
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 1: reassuring somebody or encouraging someone you know. And with with

405
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 1: Connor the cat as I call him, um, I think

406
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: our connection was very obvious and I didn't think that validation,

407
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: where with Greg he was so nervous. In fact, you

408
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 1: only saw just a brief moment of his exits and

409
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 1: the limo of just how nervous he was. And I

410
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 1: just loved that he was himself and not trying to

411
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,199
Speaker 1: be too cool or put on any gimmicks, like he

412
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 1: was just like I'm scared, you know. And I was like, look,

413
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: here's a Rose know that I'm interested in you. Get

414
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: rid of that those nerves and let's you know, figure

415
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: out who you are really Okay, So for you, this

416
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 1: was the reassurance Rose, maybe not necessarily you're my most connection, Rose. Yeah,

417
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: you want to call it a reassurance Rose that that's

418
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 1: probably pretty accurate. I think that's super sweet. Because it

419
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: is they're wracking. And when you stand up there and

420
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:16,959
Speaker 1: somebody gets out of limo and they're not nervous, it

421
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: actually kind of feels weird. It's like, I remember my moment,

422
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: I was so nervous, right, How are you so confident

423
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: right now? Like there's got what have you done? Who

424
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: are you? Um? I I do think I know maybe

425
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 1: why Connor didn't get the first impression or as though

426
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: why he did something. Maybe the only thing that really

427
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:39,199
Speaker 1: annoyed me this episode really so Katie him are having

428
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: a moment, Katie, I think you remember this, um, and

429
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: you take off his cat hat and you say, oh,

430
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: you're just as cute without the costume. Really good for you.

431
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: That was smooth, Katie, great work, um. And then Connor

432
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: decided to put back on the cap mittens to make

433
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: out with you again, like you thought it was cool.

434
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: I was like, on it, What in the back of

435
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: your head is thinking at this moment, you have them off,

436
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 1: you have the hat off, you're already kissing. You need

437
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: to put him back on so that her face is

438
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 1: full of fur. That that that part was weird to me.

439
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it certainly was a moment for sure,

440
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: I can't say I've ever made out with a cat

441
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: like that, but it was so cute. I thought it

442
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 1: was so cute that you didn't care that all of

443
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 1: his cat makeup is getting over your face. That was

444
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: a strong connection and I'm really excited to see continue now.

445
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: You you kissed three guys as far as what we

446
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: saw justin Connor and Greg. Any other guys get kisses

447
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 1: that night that we didn't see. Hard to say, you know,

448
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: when you're there, everything kind of blends together, But I

449
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 1: will say there's more to come. It does blend together.

450
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: If somebody asked me right now, like I would be like,

451
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: I have no clue. It's it's all a blur. Wait

452
00:22:58,040 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: till you get five years out and you're like, I

453
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: don't remember a single thing from that whole day. Okay, well, Katie. Recently,

454
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: Ali Featowski said that if she had to give advice

455
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 1: to bachelorette's, she says that you should ignore all the

456
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: guys that you know you're keeping around for a while

457
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: on night one, Like if he comes out of the

458
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: limo and he grabs your attention, you want him around

459
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: for a while. You got to ignore that guy on

460
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: night one. If you were to quote ignore some of

461
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: those guys just out of the limos. Who would you

462
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: say that you should have been ignoring at the cocktail party?

463
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 1: Like who like really made your first impression? Like, oh

464
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: my god, this guy doesn't have to speak one more word.

465
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 1: He is in with me for weeks. Probably Andrew s. Okay,

466
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: Andrew is on my list of going far. You pick

467
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: Andrew with the fake accent? He was so sweet. Yes,

468
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: I have him in my top four. Um, what was

469
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 1: it about him? He seemed easy going, authentic. Yeah. Our

470
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 1: our connection was just very easy. You know, some people

471
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 1: are so nervous that it is a little uncomfortable to

472
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 1: try and have these conversations with him. I just felt

473
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 1: like I knew him for years. He Uh. He stood

474
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: out to me too. Uh and he has He's the

475
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: football player, right, isn't that what he does? Yeah? His

476
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: story is unique, Like I want to I want to

477
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 1: learn more about how you play football in Austria, Like

478
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 1: what what is that? And I've never heard of that.

479
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 1: I'm a sports fan, Like what does that life look like? Um? Super,

480
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: He's just an intriguing guy. Seems to be up to

481
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: a lot. You know who else? Uh? And I'm always

482
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 1: bad with names, uh, Katie, so please forgive me here.

483
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: I don't mean to make anything the artist um and

484
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 1: yeah like that. That's impressive to me that somebody would

485
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 1: do that thinking about it beforehand, and then also spend

486
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 1: their time during quarantine. I was like, that's who I

487
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 1: want to be. I want to be the guy in

488
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: quarantine painting. Like, what a break from life you get

489
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 1: to create art? Why? You know, for me, I sit

490
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: in my hotel room and watching Netflix. Yeah, when he

491
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: showed me that piece, I thought he was joking, was like,

492
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 1: I painted this for you. I was like, ah ha ha, yeah, okay,

493
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: He's like, no, I'm serious, And I was just so

494
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: impressed with how talented he is. You were such, like, um,

495
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: a supportive person in your bachelor house. You know, you

496
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: were the one standing up for other people. Do you

497
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: feel like the dynamic is any different when you have

498
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: a group of girls living together versus a group of guys.

499
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: I feel like guys can move on more easily than women,

500
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: and so I think that does change the dynamics of drama.

501
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: You know, I know there were some moments that have

502
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,120
Speaker 1: happened that were then quickly forgotten about. You know, during

503
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: our time together. And there's moments I still haven't seen,

504
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 1: you know, like in the house or in their interviews

505
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 1: that maybe like the night one I didn't even know

506
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 1: that Cody and Aaron spoke about their dislike for each

507
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 1: other speaking thinking about that, What a weird moment. It

508
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: was like thirty seconds of I don't like you, I

509
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: haven't liked you since I first met you, as if

510
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: like they met months ago. It seems super out of

511
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: context and as if it was just like thrown in

512
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: there for drama. I don't know what was up with that.

513
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: Is that going to be a storyline that continues? You think?

514
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: I will say, that's just a little intro to uh

515
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: their dynamic for sure. Yeah, that's that was weird. That

516
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:19,199
Speaker 1: was one of the weirder That was one of the

517
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 1: weirder coverage stations I've ever seen on on this show.

518
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: And there's been some odd ones. Hey Katie, we have

519
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: just a few minutes left with you. Uh. And Ashley

520
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: always likes to play a game as a tradition here

521
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: it's almost fumosus podcast um with the new leads. But

522
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: I also like to take a second every year and

523
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,919
Speaker 1: have a moment with you and I'm really interested. Katie.

524
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: You're sitting there in the seat right now. You're doing

525
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:44,880
Speaker 1: interviews all day. Um, you're probably tired. Your first episode

526
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: of the Bachelorette has now aired and you were known

527
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 1: across the country as the Bachelorette. Your life has changed dramatically,

528
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: if if human to human? How are you doing? I mean,

529
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 1: you say my life's changed dramatically, but it hasn't. Think

530
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: it could it will? I don't know. I think for now,

531
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 1: I still just feel grounded so far. I mean it's early.

532
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: I know I'm heading into something. I have no clue

533
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 1: what to expect. But for now, I'm good. I feel good.

534
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 1: But I know there's like this, I don't know, this

535
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 1: new chapter coming, this new storm. Maybe it's not a storm.

536
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. What do you? What are you leaning

537
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: on to stay grounded? I mean, things are about to

538
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:27,719
Speaker 1: change for you, and um, it's just inevitable, Like your

539
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: face is going to be on the cover of magazines

540
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: and you're going to be on commercials and you're gonna

541
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 1: get a lot of praise. You're also gonna leave a

542
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,880
Speaker 1: lot of criticism. It comes with the territory, Like how

543
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: are you going to stay stay where you're at now.

544
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I have great friends and family that are

545
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: keeping me grounded. I'm in the bachelorette group chat that

546
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: we have, which I think is really cool. It's just

547
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 1: all of us in one thread, um, just supporting each other,

548
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 1: all the bachelorettes, every single every single bachelorrette. Wow, that's

549
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: so cool. Well, what's the best piece of advice from

550
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 1: that group chat? Um? I mean, so far, it's just

551
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: been like, don't read the comments basically, m that's good advice. Okay, Katie.

552
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 1: So we have a new tradition here. My mom growing

553
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: up always used to try to figure out whether my

554
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 1: sister and I really liked somebody by saying their name,

555
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: and then we'd have to try our very hardest to

556
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: say their name with the straight face, and if we

557
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: couldn't do it, that meant that we like probably kind

558
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 1: of liked them. So I'm going to give you some

559
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: names here, and yeah, you're on camera and you're being recorded,

560
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: and these are the guys that I think might make

561
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: you smile. And then maybe I'll throw in some random

562
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: ones in there too. Okay, are you ready? I'm ready? James, James,

563

569
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,120

00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: Matt did. But I think I'm also going to over

Speaker 1: wish you the best, Katie, Thank you so much, bye bye.

582
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: So obviously we just had the expert of the season

583
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: she knows all, and she stayed uh, very I didn't

584
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 1: get a lot of read on Katie on what how

585
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: this like season went and who she ends up with,

586
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: if anybody, from that interview. But I mean in great interview,

587
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: I think, like incredible to do. I just don't know,

588
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: Like I don't feel like I know anymore um after

589
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 1: listening to her, you know, but I do feel like

590
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: she uh she said something there and I would agree

591
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: with her because she said it about herself, so it

592
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: would be weird if I didn't. But she seems she

593
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: seems very grounded, and she seems uh, she seems like like,

594
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: like she said, a very normal human who got placed

595
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: in a really weird situation, which is always the best

596
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 1: type of people for this gig. HM. Totally agree, Totally agree.

597
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: So I want to go through my biggest takeaways as

598
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 1: far as our recap goes, because I wrote guys names

599
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: down and I'm really bad with names the first couple

600
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: of episodes, so I kind of like find celebrity lookalikes

601
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: for them, or I get to know them based on like,

602
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: well they had a really sweaty face or whatnot. So

603
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: do you want to go down my list and then

604
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: we can chat about these standouts. Yeah, take it away

605
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: for a bit, because I got some questions for you

606
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: based on the episode. I really want to talk to

607
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 1: you about, uh, your thoughts on Caitlin and Tasia. That's

608
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: obviously gonna be a big storyline. I want to talk

609
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: about this new location that they're in, uh kind of

610
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: you know obviously some of the guys that stood out

611
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: to you. So I do want to get your top three,

612
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 1: but before we do, let's take it away with your

613
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: your show notes, your clip notes. The cat slash teacher Connor,

614
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,479
Speaker 1: who we talked about a good amount with Katie like

615
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: he's one of my big standouts. For some reason, he

616
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: was really able to pull off the costume. You know,

617
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: we've seen so many costumes in the past and they

618
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: don't always play as well. But man, she really liked that,

619
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: and I thought that he was just so endearing and

620
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: so sweet and genuinely seemed to be very into her.

621
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: Did some background research on her. There was a real

622
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: physical and I'd like a chemical connection there. He's going

623
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: real far. I loved the Boston guy, Christian, who I

624
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: already said is Jared's future best friend because he likes

625
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 1: parades and just wants to drive the batmobile and he's

626
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: from Boston. I don't know that he's going to hang

627
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 1: around for a while, but I think he's one of

628
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: the cuter guys. Then there was who I called the

629
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: accent guy, who is Andrew big, stand out, super sweet.

630
00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: I genuinely bought the accent. I wouldn't have thought otherwise,

631
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: would you have? No? No, he was really really good, Yeah,

632
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: really good. And then there was Marcus, who I just

633
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: think it's super sweet and I um named him as

634
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: one of my favorites. Just looking at his picture. I

635
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: think he has that sweet puppy dog face and it translates. Ashley,

636
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: You're you're using a word right now that we need

637
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 1: to uh kind of focus on because we don't always

638
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: do well. Yeah, and that's fine, that's no, that's great.

639
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: It's a great descriptor. But well, but most seasons, when

640
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: we watch the first episode, I mean there's been many

641
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 1: times where like, these guys are arrogant, these guys are cocky,

642
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: these guys are trying too hard, these guys are acting

643
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 1: like they're you know, the cats me out. But you're

644
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 1: saying sweet, which does remind me of Tatious season because

645
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 1: that's how we were describing the guys from her season. Um,

646
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: But it's not like that always like it's sometimes there's

647
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: been breakdowns that we've had after episode one where we've

648
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: been like, I don't know, like these guys just seem

649
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: like they want to take their shirt off and post

650
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: on Instagram. M hmm. There wasn't like a lot of

651
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: big egos from what I've seen so far. I liked Thomas.

652
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,399
Speaker 1: He did have a really super greasy, sweaty face. Um,

653
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:18,399
Speaker 1: but he's like a very like classically handsome man who

654
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,320
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be around for a while.

655
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: Then there was Gabriel, who looks like Orlando Bloom but

656
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,879
Speaker 1: he got like no airtime. But he did really turn

657
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: her on as he exited the limo, Like she looked

658
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 1: at Tassia and Caitlin and she was like, oh, yeah,

659
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 1: he's hot. And then there's Greg And I liked Greg

660
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 1: a lot because yeah, he was so nervous, but like

661
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:46,919
Speaker 1: leaned into being nervous, like Katie said. He also made

662
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,359
Speaker 1: that adorable necklace made out of pasta or he didn't

663
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: make it, the niece made it and gave it to

664
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 1: her and then said like, I don't know if you know,

665
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 1: but it's not real gold, and that was funny. I

666
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 1: think it shows that he has a really great sense

667
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: of humor that we're going to get to know about her.

668
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: Trey was the guy with the trunk full of balls,

669
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 1: and I think they had a really nice connection as well,

670
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:15,320
Speaker 1: and he came across very sweets endearing. She kissed Justin,

671
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,800
Speaker 1: and I noticed that Justin has a lot of scenes

672
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: in the next episodes. You know, they show him a

673
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 1: lot in the teasers, so I think he's going to

674
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: be a prominent a prominent character. However, I didn't feel

675
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 1: the chemistry between them enough in that moment for him

676
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: to go for such a sloppy kiss. The way he

677
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 1: did that seemed like he was coming on a little

678
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,399
Speaker 1: bit too strong. But maybe there was stuff from that

679
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 1: scene that was missing a bit. Do you remember this kiss?

680
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 1: The first kiss air? Yeah, you know, it's hard to

681
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 1: judge kisses at this point. I was hard on Matt

682
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 1: James for kissing with his eyes open, and people seem

683
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: to kind of find that fine. And you know, you

684
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 1: get a camera up in your face with people watching

685
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 1: you start kissing I'm going to give all these guys

686
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: a little grace on night one and a. If it's

687
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:06,320
Speaker 1: week five and there's still like, you know, missing her lips,

688
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 1: then we'll give some criticism. But at this point you

689
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,919
Speaker 1: just went in for it, and that's that's a big move. Hey,

690
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 1: he was not missing her lips. There was a lot

691
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: of lip locking in that. Then there was James in

692
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,399
Speaker 1: the Box. Now very funny. A couple of weeks ago,

693
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 1: when we saw the box on the cast list, we

694
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 1: thought that that was going to be Blake, right, We're like, oh, Blake,

695
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 1: for sure, for sure, it was not Blake. It was

696
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 1: a guy named James, and she liked this costume as well.

697
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 1: It really responded well. He was getting pushed around all

698
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 1: night long and then he revealed himself in a room privately,

699
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: and I think he went over quite well. It gave

700
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 1: me so much anxiety. It's like, oh, I'm so claustrophobic,

701
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: and the idea that he was in a box for

702
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: as long as he was like it just like literally

703
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,839
Speaker 1: like it's one of the only cringe worthy moments from

704
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,720
Speaker 1: this episode for me, was like just seeing the box

705
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: roll up one and then seeing him not get out

706
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:04,800
Speaker 1: of the box too, and then being in the mansion

707
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 1: or the house whatever the resort with the box very

708
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:13,399
Speaker 1: hard for me to like watch m Okay, I get it,

709
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 1: that is pretty custrophobic, but it really worked for him

710
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 1: because she seemed so attracted to him. So I think

711
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 1: that he goes far as well. There's somebody in the

712
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 1: house that is the villain, right, there's somebody that all

713
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 1: the guys want out of the house. I do not

714
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be Blake. I think Blake goes in

715
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 1: really early. I think he goes in really early. Like

716
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 1: I said, probably next week doesn't create a whole bunch

717
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 1: of drama. But I think there's another guy in there

718
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 1: that all the guys want out. Don't know who it is.

719
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: Don't know if it's the guy that says it's like

720
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: he's there for followers. I mean, it could be him.

721
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 1: I'm I'm my vote is being strongly cast behind. Uh

722
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: the guy who went to the dude. I was like, hey,

723
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: I don't like you because I don't know. Yeah, I

724
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 1: don't really know if I want to get to know

725
00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: his name, but um, he because then he walked in

726
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:02,360
Speaker 1: through him. It wasn't even him going up to somebody

727
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 1: being like, hey, I don't like you. It was, and

728
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 1: then he walked into the room and his like his

729
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:11,439
Speaker 1: like hypocritical side came out where he's like, loosen up, guys,

730
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 1: he's a party. It's like you're the one that just

731
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,879
Speaker 1: like totally like corner to dude was like, I don't

732
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: like you. I don't know this this character he has

733
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 1: a story coming. Um, so I'm putting my behind him.

734
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 1: Was that guy's name Aaron, the insurance salesman from San Diego.

735
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the castle list. I have to go

736
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 1: back and rewatch that scene. I don't know people know

737
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 1: who were talking about? Okay um. And then the other

738
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 1: guy I think is worth mentioning is Michael a. He

739
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 1: looks like Sean Hayes to me, and he has a

740
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: kid who is staying with his parents. So that makes

741
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 1: me feel like maybe the mom isn't as involved and

742
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: he's the primary caretaker for his child. And I think

743
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 1: that was Actually that led to a pretty revealing conversation

744
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: with Katie when she said, like she can kind of

745
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 1: like take kids or leave them. She's kind of happy

746
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,399
Speaker 1: what a however way her life turns out. Yeah, it

747
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,439
Speaker 1: was it was. It was a special moment. I liked him. Um,

748
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: So if we're going to as we do every episode, uh,

749
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: start your top three Ashley and Eddie, who would it be? Okay,

750
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 1: so it's going to be Andrew Connor, b and Greg Fair.

751
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 1: I I couldn't disagree with any of those. Um. I

752
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 1: think it's a great choice. So we'll mark that and

753
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 1: then next week I'll ask you the same question after

754
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 1: episode two. Uh, Ashley, you're a resident Bachelor expert. Uh what?

755
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:39,320
Speaker 1: And you have strong feelings on the tradition of the show.

756
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 1: We've now seen Nim mccollin. We've also seen Laquinta. We're

757
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:47,280
Speaker 1: now seeing a brand new resort in New Mexico. Ashley,

758
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:50,320
Speaker 1: how do you feel about just I mean the setup

759
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 1: so far after night one, Um, it looks kind of

760
00:39:54,480 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 1: like desert and deserted, and I guess I prefer more

761
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: of a nimical and look like at the temperate forest

762
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 1: fall feel. This looks like really dry flatland, not a

763
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 1: lot of colors. So we're gonna go based on that.

764
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:13,879
Speaker 1: I mean, the aesthetic can be cool. Um, I don't

765
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 1: know if we're gonna get like a whole variety of

766
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 1: scenery though. Yeah, yeah, I mean Nimicle and just kind

767
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 1: of blewed out of the water like that night. That

768
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 1: night one we watched and it was like breathtaking just

769
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: seeing the backdrop of the resort behind it, and I

770
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: mean this didn't have that. Now we'll wait and see

771
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 1: as the episodes continue kind of what kind of dates

772
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 1: they can put on there and how it looks. Um.

773
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 1: But I would say right now, my vote for all

774
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: out of the three of them, if we're gonna rank

775
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,880
Speaker 1: those would be Nimical number one, um, just because it

776
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 1: was it was absolutely gorgeous. Uh, this looks very similar

777
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 1: to Palm Springs. I would agree, Yeah, I would agree

778
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 1: with that. Well. Actually, this is the uh, the big

779
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:56,279
Speaker 1: conversation that everybody will be having this week, UM is

780
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:59,399
Speaker 1: on this is the first season that Chris Harrison doesn't host,

781
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 1: and you have two new mentors, Hayleen Bristow and Tatia Adams,

782
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 1: who are there with her now there. Actually, I want

783
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 1: to ask you and the audience because I remember during

784
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:13,319
Speaker 1: my season, uh, and I you know, I don't know

785
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 1: if it was joking, I don't know if they were serious,

786
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 1: but some of the girls from my season, like they

787
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 1: would have a crush on Chris Harrison, they would tell

788
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 1: me that right, or they would have they would have

789
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 1: a crush on one of the producers. Now that steps

790
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: into some murky water, because there has been storylines in

791
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: the past where a cast member has hooked up with

792
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,320
Speaker 1: one of the producers and they kind of leave together.

793
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:34,319
Speaker 1: So just like if we're kind of making this just

794
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 1: a lighthearted conversation, not saying anybody's gonna be doing anything. Um,

795
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 1: it's you know, just knowing that, hey, the cast is

796
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 1: around the hosts quite often. Do you do you would

797
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 1: you be intimidated if you were the bachelorette on having

798
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: two former bachelor's there with you walking alongside of you.

799
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously all beautiful, but does that add a

800
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: weird dynamic? Listeners, I would love for you to respond

801
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:00,399
Speaker 1: to to this via email on Instagram just kind of

802
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,399
Speaker 1: what your thoughts would be, But actually, what do you think? Okay,

803
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: If I'm gonna be straight up honest, I would be

804
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 1: a little bit intimidated. But the fact that these two

805
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: girls are in such public relationships and they are so

806
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 1: in love, then no, I'm not intimidated by the guys

807
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,920
Speaker 1: being interested in them, Because like I know these girls

808
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 1: aren't going to be interested in the guys. Now, if

809
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:27,800
Speaker 1: you had too sexy single ladies, I'd be like, Okay,

810
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 1: don't look at them, please please, um stay far behind me.

811
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 1: That makes sense, I mean yeah, it just adds. I

812
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 1: mean even you know when you get it, like Chris

813
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,320
Speaker 1: is a good looking guy, the producers good looking people

814
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 1: like you get it. You're just around and like the

815
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:47,320
Speaker 1: lead isn't around all the time, and so you're around

816
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:49,359
Speaker 1: like the producers a lot more than you are the lead,

817
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 1: and so over time, like and you're having these like

818
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 1: very heartfelt conversations. The producers care about you, you know. Yeah,

819
00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 1: this is different because these girls are there for Katie.

820
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:04,479
Speaker 1: They're advising Katie. They're not going to be I don't

821
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 1: think mingling with the contestants that much. I think I

822
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 1: do get the producer love fest, though, because you are

823
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 1: talking to them constantly and you're having such intimate, like

824
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 1: therapy sessions with them that you get so close. There

825
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: was times on my season when we were like, do

826
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 1: I have more of a crush on so and so

827
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 1: than I do on Chris? So that's fine, but I

828
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 1: don't think that these girls are going to be playing

829
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 1: that role whatsoever with the guys. Yeah, well, speaking of

830
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 1: Tasian Caitlin, we've watched the first episode. It's obviously just

831
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:44,720
Speaker 1: the first episode. But what were your thoughts on there?

832
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 1: I mean, we're calling mentors, So what were your thoughts

833
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 1: on their mentor role um and how it played out? Well,

834
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:53,399
Speaker 1: it's clear to me that they are like not there

835
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 1: as real hosts. Okay, so they didn't talk to the guys.

836
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 1: They only said, um, here's the final rows, like if

837
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 1: you didn't get a rose, say you're goodbyes, like they

838
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 1: just said classic lines like that, and otherwise they were

839
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 1: really just they're being cheerleaders for Katie. So it seems yeah,

840
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 1: and you and I both know this, moved on this

841
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:20,760
Speaker 1: for four years together. Co hosting is not always easy.

842
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 1: Now you and I have had the benefit of getting

843
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 1: along in on the podcast and outside of the podcast.

844
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 1: You know, uh, both of us understand that this is

845
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 1: not are you know, this doesn't survive if you're gone,

846
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 1: It doesn't survive if I'm gone. Um, but I would

847
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 1: imagine too, like I've co hosted stuff with people that

848
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:42,799
Speaker 1: that's a little bit more competition between Like how did

849
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 1: they decide who gets the rose seramy which night, Like

850
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:47,720
Speaker 1: I want to know the behind the scenes on Okay tonight,

851
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:50,280
Speaker 1: Caitlin you say this is your final Rose, and Tasha

852
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 1: you say goodbye to the guys, Like how that there

853
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 1: had to be a little bit of a difficult dynamic

854
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 1: at least starting out. I think it's just gonna swap

855
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,359
Speaker 1: back and forth. You think those classic lines will go

856
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 1: back and forth. And I'm sure depending on the activity,

857
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 1: the date, the issue, they'll either come together or it'll

858
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 1: be the bachelorette who dealt with more of a similar

859
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:17,319
Speaker 1: situation that goes to to be to be Katie support. Yeah,

860
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:19,839
Speaker 1: it's kind of a funny analogy. But like bachel Alive

861
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 1: on stage, like Beck and I did, we traded off

862
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 1: and that was kind of how we decided to do it,

863
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:26,360
Speaker 1: Like we had to be very clear on like, hey,

864
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 1: so that I'm not always overstepping on you and you're

865
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:31,359
Speaker 1: not always overstepping on me, and none of us areta

866
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 1: in competition. Let's just trade off and let's make that

867
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 1: clear upfront. Um. And it worked. You just have to

868
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:38,880
Speaker 1: have that communication. It feels like Tasha and Caitlin like

869
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 1: each other enough and still do that. It plays out well,

870
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 1: like there's no drama between the hosts, and that's why

871
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:48,439
Speaker 1: that's a big deal. Well, it was, you know, it

872
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 1: was weird to watch our first season without Chris standing

873
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 1: up there. I would say it definitely felt different to me.

874
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 1: I don't know if it did to you or any

875
00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:59,839
Speaker 1: of the listeners, but it felt a lot different to me.

876
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:05,320
Speaker 1: It felt the most different to me during the opening

877
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 1: scene without his voice doing the voiceover. That's when I

878
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:12,440
Speaker 1: felt kind of whacked out, um, a little bit odd

879
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 1: not having him there to like kind of give direction,

880
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:19,919
Speaker 1: like welcome the audience back, and then to like give

881
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 1: the pep talk to the lead. I think as the

882
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 1: episode went on, they edited in such a way that

883
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:31,720
Speaker 1: we would not feel like it was missed as much.

884
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 1: But the beginning was definitely weird for me, and so

885
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 1: was the voiceover at the end for the scenes for

886
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 1: the next episode. What did you How do you feel

887
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 1: about Caitlin and and Tatia kind of standing inside watching

888
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 1: and like commentating at all. I'm like a little bit

889
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 1: split on it. Um. It just kind of reminded me

890
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:54,399
Speaker 1: of the girls watching through the window when the other

891
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 1: girls arrive on a bachelor season, right, So, it was

892
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 1: like kind of fun and giggly. I could have taken

893
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:04,920
Speaker 1: it or leave it, like obviously as friends of Tatia

894
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 1: and Caitlin, like I will take all their screen time,

895
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 1: but like, I don't know that it really enhanced the episode.

896
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:14,720
Speaker 1: You know, what I was thinking is how much work

897
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 1: that was for them, Like they stood at that window

898
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 1: for how many hours? Now, obviously you know Katie was

899
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 1: there the whole time, also meeting the guys, But that's

900
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 1: a long time to be commentating, and it's just I'm

901
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:28,919
Speaker 1: gonna be really interested to see how much we see

902
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 1: off Caitlin and Tatia as each episode goes on um

903
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 1: and how involved they get and kind of how they

904
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:38,319
Speaker 1: fill the gap. Yeah, that was fun, but I bet

905
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 1: you it took a lot of energy because you have

906
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 1: to really express in a moote. And one of my

907
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:46,440
Speaker 1: favorite things that happened in this episode was not exactly

908
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 1: bachelor related, but it was the amazing trailer for one

909
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 1: of my favorite Broadway musicals, in The Heights. It's by

910
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 1: Lynn Manuel Miranda, the creator of Hamilton's. It was his

911
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 1: first Broadway show that he wrote, and it's such a good,

912
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:07,520

940
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:44,120
Speaker 1: break and we come back. We're gonna talk about a

941

Speaker 1: headline that that speaks to Chris Harrison's future, at least

945
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:09,840
Speaker 1: we just got done talking about this new chapter for

946
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:13,640
Speaker 1: the franchise. Um and and it seems like it's here

947
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:17,480
Speaker 1: to stay. Uh, you know, like it or not, it

948
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 1: seems like it's here to stay. And this is why

949
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 1: the headline reads. And this is according to US Chris

950
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 1: Harrison will likely not return from Michelle Young season of

951
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 1: The Bachelorette. Yeah so, a source tells US Weekly that

952
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:33,160
Speaker 1: Chris Harrison is likely to not be back, although final

953
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:35,920
Speaker 1: decisions have not been made. The Insider notes that they

954
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 1: are currently weighing their option for a new host for

955
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:42,960
Speaker 1: Michelle Young season. Uh. News of this comes one day.

956
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:47,600
Speaker 1: This happened one day after it was confirmed that Chris

957
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 1: would not be confum coming back for Paradise and that

958
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:54,800
Speaker 1: there will be a slew of celebrity guest hosts, including

959
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 1: David Spade, hosting Paradise. It's Uh, it's a big announcement,

960
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 1: and everybody's kind of wondering. Right there hasn't been a

961
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:03,960
Speaker 1: lot of clarity on what the future looks like and

962
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:06,040
Speaker 1: if there is one with Chris in the show, a

963
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:08,200
Speaker 1: lot of rumors swirling around. We'll we'll wait and see,

964
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:10,279
Speaker 1: and we'll continue to update everybody as we know more.

965
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:13,080
Speaker 1: But this is the most recent information we have is

966
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:14,920
Speaker 1: that right now it doesn't look like he's going to return.

967
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:17,720
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on David Spade and then Wells

968
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:21,400
Speaker 1: and Sarah? And has Sarah been anybody else announced? Because

969
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:25,160
Speaker 1: I know one person that's hosting that has not been announced.

970
00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:28,520
Speaker 1: What do you like of the announcement so far? I mean,

971
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:31,719
Speaker 1: obviously Wells is a great friend of mine and this

972
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:34,920
Speaker 1: is a big moment for him. Uh, and and Sarah.

973
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:37,440
Speaker 1: But I mean Sarah's you know, been in the spotlight

974
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:39,799
Speaker 1: for a while and she has, you know, a name

975
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:41,880
Speaker 1: behind herself that you know, she can pretty much do

976
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 1: what she wants at this point with within the entertainment world. Um.

977
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 1: So I'm super pumped for Wells, very very excited for

978
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 1: him and Sarah. The David Spade thing really threw me off.

979
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:55,760
Speaker 1: It doesn't throw me off at all. Continue with your thought. Well,

980
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 1: I know, you know, I know some people that know

981
00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:00,080
Speaker 1: David's Bayde some producer of this podcast and really like

982
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:02,440
Speaker 1: him as a person. I don't know him at all.

983
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:05,720
Speaker 1: I've only been around him once at an event. Um.

984
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:09,600
Speaker 1: But it's like, I what I don't see is David's

985
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:13,319
Speaker 1: baby being serious. I've we've never seen it. Um. And

986
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:16,319
Speaker 1: I think in Paradise there's so much chaos and there's

987
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 1: so much drama and there's so much ridiculousness being thrown

988
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:23,439
Speaker 1: around that like the moments of peace came from when

989
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:26,360
Speaker 1: Chris would step in. Is kind of that like adult

990
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:30,959
Speaker 1: figure who would like calm the storms. Now, I don't

991
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:32,799
Speaker 1: know if I see David do. I don't know how

992
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 1: that looks. So I'm gonna be intrigued to watch it.

993
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:39,399
Speaker 1: I will say I'm interested, like I'm I'm interested, which

994
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:42,720
Speaker 1: makes me want to want to tune in. Yeah, there's

995
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:46,440
Speaker 1: not clarity on how many weeks he'll be stepping in.

996
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 1: It might be just one, it might be one, it

997
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:53,759
Speaker 1: might be too. Um. I a little disagree with you.

998
00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 1: I think because Bachelor in Paradise has so much levity

999
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 1: that because he's funny, it's gonna be fine. I think,

1000
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:05,799
Speaker 1: if anything, we're going to get like a lot of

1001
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:10,360
Speaker 1: little Raccoon scenes, and I think we're gonna get a

1002
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:13,280
Speaker 1: lot of lost with David. I got to have lunch

1003
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:17,319
Speaker 1: with him through Amy Amy producer Amy, Who if you

1004
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:20,239
Speaker 1: are still on here, Amy, come in. I want to

1005
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:22,520
Speaker 1: hear your thoughts on David because you are friends with

1006
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 1: him and he is he's such a cool dude. Well

1007
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:29,640
Speaker 1: you could assume somethings, Amy, So you know David, Uh,

1008
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:32,520
Speaker 1: you know he's a fan of the show. Uh, you've

1009
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:35,239
Speaker 1: watched Paradise many times before. What do you how do

1010
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:36,880
Speaker 1: you think it's going to be as a host, Like,

1011
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 1: how how do you feel like the vibe is gonna be?

1012
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:40,799
Speaker 1: What is his skill sets that are going to be

1013
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:44,080
Speaker 1: offered to this, like, why should the audience be tuning in? Okay,

1014
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:47,040
Speaker 1: I'll give you my two answers, which are sort of polarizing.

1015
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:51,200
Speaker 1: One is I love him. He is such a funny guy,

1016
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 1: but he is such a nice guy, and he's really

1017
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 1: into the show and like the relationships of the show.

1018
00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 1: And he's also a really really sweet, sweet guy who

1019
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:06,240
Speaker 1: I go to for guy like boyfriend advice all the time.

1020
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:10,239
Speaker 1: So that makes me think potentially he's gonna be really

1021
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:13,919
Speaker 1: great because he knows a lot about relationships and will

1022
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 1: have great advice. My concern, which isn't a concern. I

1023
00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 1: also find him to be hysterical, So my only thing

1024
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:23,720
Speaker 1: is like, am I gonna just be watching the show

1025
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:27,600
Speaker 1: watching him? Like literally I can see my eyes just

1026
00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 1: going on to him being like, make me laugh, make

1027
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:32,479
Speaker 1: me laugh, and I won't even pay attention to what's

1028
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:35,120
Speaker 1: happening in the scene, Like are you going to be sad?

1029
00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:37,200
Speaker 1: If he doesn't get a lot of airtime and he's

1030
00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:40,839
Speaker 1: not able to make a lot of jokes, I don't know.

1031
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:43,480
Speaker 1: I feel like he will, but I feel like I'm good.

1032
00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:46,759
Speaker 1: I he's a movie star for a reason, because we're

1033
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:51,120
Speaker 1: all sort of like he's sparkly. He's captivating, so I

1034
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:55,200
Speaker 1: may just forget to pay attention to like the contestants.

1035
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:57,640
Speaker 1: At some point, I think, yeah, I think you guys,

1036
00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:01,200
Speaker 1: he's gonna be great. He's warm and is kind of

1037
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:04,399
Speaker 1: a secret heart throb amy stay on for this. He

1038
00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 1: has dated some sexy women in Hollywood, including Heather Locklear

1039
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:12,480
Speaker 1: Carmen Electra. If he can reel in these girls because

1040
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:15,520
Speaker 1: he's a handsome dude. He's handsome, he's cool looking, right,

1041
00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:18,880
Speaker 1: but he's not a smoke show. It's his personality and

1042
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:21,840
Speaker 1: he can help these guys real in ladies with just

1043
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 1: their personality, with maybe his advice. I fully I'm attracted

1044
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:28,839
Speaker 1: to him. He is a big I'm too old for

1045
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:31,080
Speaker 1: him because I'm like I always say, I'm like ten

1046
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:33,280
Speaker 1: years younger than him, and I'm way too old for him.

1047
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:36,520
Speaker 1: Like he is very dreamy. He will be great at this.

1048
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:39,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I missed, I missed Chris, I'm gonna say that,

1049
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:43,239
Speaker 1: but and I noticed his absence. But I do think

1050
00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:46,400
Speaker 1: this is a genius idea for Paradise. And I'm like,

1051
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 1: I'm also Wells number one fan, so I think he's

1052
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:53,240
Speaker 1: genius too. Yeah, Okay, back to the headlines. Let's start

1053
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:56,520
Speaker 1: with the Bachelor stars Matt James and Rachel Kay planning

1054
00:55:56,560 --> 00:55:59,279
Speaker 1: to move in together. This is a headline according the

1055
00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:04,360
Speaker 1: page sit. Yeah, so they're thinking about where he wants

1056
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:08,560
Speaker 1: to restart his real estate career, and he's thinking Miami.

1057
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 1: They both want to stay on the East Coast because

1058
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:15,120
Speaker 1: their families are there. Plus apparently the Miami real estate Uh,

1059
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:18,760
Speaker 1: you know, life is really blowing up and the weather

1060
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:23,239
Speaker 1: is of course a year round beautiful. So there we go. Well,

1061
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:26,399
Speaker 1: let's see if they really do move into the same

1062
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:31,200
Speaker 1: apartment or house together. That will be something step I know,

1063
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:34,080
Speaker 1: not more than just a few weeks ago, we actually

1064
00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:37,040
Speaker 1: announced that they were even seeing each other. Now we're

1065
00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:39,600
Speaker 1: getting rumors that they might move in together. Well, here

1066
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:43,400
Speaker 1: is another relationship update. I wish we had like one

1067
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 1: of those little like ding ding ding things are that

1068
00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:48,040
Speaker 1: get people excited about This from the Bachelor Nation franchise.

1069
00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:53,279
Speaker 1: Piper James and Brendan are dating. They're super into each other.

1070
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:56,000
Speaker 1: Is the quote that's according to us. You guys, can

1071
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:58,799
Speaker 1: you believe? First off, I think there's gonna be some

1072
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 1: disappointed people who we're planning on seeing them in Paradise

1073
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:07,880
Speaker 1: or who would have loved to see this unfold in Paradise.

1074
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:10,000
Speaker 1: But it seems that they may not be going to

1075
00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:14,479
Speaker 1: Paradise to continue their relationship because the two of them

1076
00:57:14,719 --> 00:57:18,800
Speaker 1: were spotted in the Boston area, which is where Brandon lives,

1077
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:22,480
Speaker 1: over the Memorial Day weekend, which was also the weekend

1078
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 1: that the first set of Bachelor in Paradise contestants were

1079
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 1: shipped out to Mexico. So don't know that we're gonna

1080
00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:32,160
Speaker 1: see either of them there. I think there's gonna be

1081
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:34,120
Speaker 1: a lot of girls there were that we're looking forward

1082
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:39,000
Speaker 1: to meeting with Brandon, and same with guys hoping to

1083
00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:42,560
Speaker 1: see Piper. They say that they either fly out to

1084
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:46,920
Speaker 1: New York um or she'll fly to Boston. And I

1085
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:48,960
Speaker 1: guess whether they're pretty close because she's living in New

1086
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:50,640
Speaker 1: York and he's living in Boston, so like they don't

1087
00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:52,000
Speaker 1: even have to fly to each other, they can just

1088
00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:55,320
Speaker 1: drives only four hour drive. They've been keeping their relationship

1089
00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:58,360
Speaker 1: under wraps since they're trying to make the long distance

1090
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:00,920
Speaker 1: they work. It's still new, but they're super into each

1091
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:02,840
Speaker 1: other and they're getting to know each other and they're

1092
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:05,480
Speaker 1: having fun going on dates. They also have a ton

1093
00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:09,200
Speaker 1: of mutual friends in the bachelor crowd. So that makes

1094
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:13,440
Speaker 1: you know, dating really fun and easy. Um. Yeah, this

1095
00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:16,000
Speaker 1: is very exciting for the two of them. Actually, just

1096
00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:19,600
Speaker 1: a few more big headlines to cover. Kelly Flannagain. We've

1097
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:21,760

Speaker 1: on how big of a hot commodity should be in Paradise,

1099
00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:27,320

Speaker 1: you for so many of the people out there that

Speaker 1: of breakthrough um the hey everything's perfect facade and share

1129
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:16,320
Speaker 1: something that maybe isn't perfect. Um, it's a moment for

1130
01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:18,840
Speaker 1: us all to connect. So kudos to Christina for doing this.

1131
01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:22,680
Speaker 1: For sure, I loved this. There were so many Bachelor

1132
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:25,120
Speaker 1: lums who wrote under her picture, thank you for this,

1133
01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:29,160
Speaker 1: you know, really appreciate the rawness, the realness she has

1134
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:33,520
Speaker 1: I don't know how to say it period real dermatitis,

1135
01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:38,520
Speaker 1: and it's flares sometimes and it's fine sometimes. She even

1136
01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:42,040
Speaker 1: says in the caption that her and her dermatologists figured

1137
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:45,160
Speaker 1: out something that really worked for her for a while, um,

1138
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:47,280
Speaker 1: but then it ended up coming back a couple of

1139
01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:50,800
Speaker 1: months later. So she has this slide show type of

1140
01:00:51,160 --> 01:00:54,919
Speaker 1: Instagram um reel where she shows her skin on good

1141
01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:57,760
Speaker 1: days and on bad days. It's kind of like a rash,

1142
01:00:57,880 --> 01:01:03,520
Speaker 1: like a blotchy rosatia type, small red bumps, and she says,

1143
01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:06,240
Speaker 1: there were hopeful times and a time where I hit

1144
01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:09,840
Speaker 1: an all time low. She felt like she wanted to

1145
01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:14,080
Speaker 1: be raw, emotional, unfiltered, and she felt like she woke

1146
01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:15,800
Speaker 1: up the morning that she posted this and she she

1147
01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:19,000
Speaker 1: felt really down and overwhelmed and sad and defeated. And

1148
01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:21,360
Speaker 1: for the past few days, she said, she stayed quiet,

1149
01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 1: stayed off to social media and hopes that she could

1150
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:27,680
Speaker 1: get to a better mental state where she could share

1151
01:01:27,720 --> 01:01:30,520
Speaker 1: her skin's journey in her progress and the progress that

1152
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:34,640
Speaker 1: hasn't come just yet. She's um, so many people were

1153
01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:39,160
Speaker 1: thankful for you know her being so open about this,

1154
01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:44,200
Speaker 1: because there's so many times when we look at Instagram

1155
01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:46,160
Speaker 1: and we're like, oh my god, that that doesn't even

1156
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:48,320
Speaker 1: look like skin. It's so perfect, Like how do you

1157
01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:50,920
Speaker 1: look like that? Right? And we can really get down

1158
01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:54,720
Speaker 1: about our appearance because of what we see through filters

1159
01:01:54,760 --> 01:01:57,280
Speaker 1: and all that. And I know that while I've never

1160
01:01:57,320 --> 01:02:00,920
Speaker 1: had this type of dermatitis, I've had times where, um,

1161
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:03,280
Speaker 1: I had an allergic reaction to something that I couldn't

1162
01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:05,360
Speaker 1: figure out, and it took like months to figure out

1163
01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:07,880
Speaker 1: what was causing the allergic reaction, and I would wake

1164
01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:10,720
Speaker 1: up with the puffiest eyes and like such a swollen face,

1165
01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:14,240
Speaker 1: and it was just experiment after experiment of you know,

1166
01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:16,680
Speaker 1: what could it could be? And then there was a

1167
01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:18,880
Speaker 1: time where I had cisti acne and I just didn't

1168
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 1: want to leave the house because I couldn't without crying

1169
01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:24,600
Speaker 1: because I felt so bad about myself. So I think

1170
01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:28,000
Speaker 1: that almost everybody goes through a period of their life

1171
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:33,480
Speaker 1: like that. And by Christina showing that she's not Instagram perfect,

1172
01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:36,760
Speaker 1: Instagram filtered all the time, it's really powerful and it

1173
01:02:36,840 --> 01:02:40,480
Speaker 1: can help a lot of people's self esteems out there. Yeah. Yeah,

1174
01:02:40,720 --> 01:02:44,520
Speaker 1: super super cool of Christina and just yeah, there's a
