15
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: Jeez back. I was back last week, but I wasn't

16
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: back with you. You weren't back with me. I've missed

17
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: I've missed you. Ben. It's not like pre wedding glow

18
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: to you. A pre wedding glow, not a post honeymoon glows.

19
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: Post honeymoon glow, I mean, oh thank you, it's going

20
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: to fade fast because I feel like the worst thing

21
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: I could say, um, I meant like today was like

22
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: the first official work day back from like our whole

23
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 1: month off pretty much. You know, I've responded to some

24
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: emails here and there, and like I've ignored a lot

25
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:33,119
Speaker 1: of and then but today, like Jared and I were

26
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: like bombarded with the phone calls and emails and texts,

27
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: and it's like, oh, we're back to work, which is

28
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: an absolute fabulous thing, but you know, it's we were

29
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,199
Speaker 1: like trying to drag out that nice little honeymoon period

30
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: as far as we could, but we definitely realized, like

31
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: today we're no longer on vacation in love. Yeah, How

32
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: long does it take you to like wind down when

33
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: you're on vacation. This has been a a popular topic

34
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: over the last few years as millennials have kind of

35
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: pulled back on how many vacations they're taking. Instead they're

36
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: doing more like just adventure travel. So like when you

37
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: go on a vacation to rest, relax and get your

38
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: mind off of everything going on in your world, how

39
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,119
Speaker 1: many days that take you to kind of just relax.

40
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: I think it depends on whether I wrap up everything

41
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: the days before we go away, which I really try

42
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: to do, like I'll stay up really late to just

43
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: try to get everything done and responded to. And with

44
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: Jared and I on the honeymoon, like pretty much midway

45
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: that week before the wedding, we were like okay, like

46
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 1: Thursday night, We're okay, we're done with everything and we're

47
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: just gonna like let loose, and so I think on

48
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: our honeymoon it was super easy. Of course, we were

49
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: in Europe for thirteen nights, so we did like have

50
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: a couple of nights where we like had to get

51
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,959
Speaker 1: in the computer and respond to emails and edit some stuff,

52
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: but for the most part, we were like very We're

53
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: pretty unplowed the This is a good question for the listeners, Ashley.

54
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: Over the last few weeks we've been asking our listeners

55
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: to twitter in or email in responses to just two

56
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: questions each podcast, and they've been incredible at it and

57
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: it's super fun to read. So I'm gonna ask all

58
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 1: the listeners if you go on vacation and you've got

59
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: a hectic We're all busy. Everybody is busy these days.

60
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 1: If you're busy, you take a vacation, how many days

61
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: does it take you to wind down? And then I

62
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: had also for my own benefit, like to know what

63
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: do you do? Like Ashley said, she kind of tries

64
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: to get everything done beforehand and prep so that winding

65
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: down is easier. Also, I have to say apologize everybody

66
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: listening and to you, ash My allergies are awful right now.

67
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: So I'm stuffy. It's okay, Yeah, it's cute. I know

68
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: it is awful. Like over the last week it has

69
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: like tripled. So if I sound like melancholy and not

70
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: into this, it's not at all the case. I just

71
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: can't breathe. I want to say one thing in respond

72
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: to your question. I think what Jared and I do

73
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: as far as like like just having nights or like

74
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: blocks of time too if any work comes up to

75
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: address it is the best way. I think if you

76
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: are responding to every email in every text while they

77
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: come at you, then you never get centered on a vacation.

78
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: I think you need to be like, Okay, I will

79
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 1: address this tonight like and ignore it until then. Yeah,

80
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: that's not a bad idea. Yeah, I think so. I

81
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: was talking to Jessica about this other day because we're

82
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: gonna take a trip to a wedding in Mexico here

83
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: coming up, and we decided that I can't not do

84
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,119
Speaker 1: anything all day like that. I just don't. It doesn't

85
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: help me. And so what it doesn't help you relax

86
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 1: if you realize how much you have. So I like

87
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: an hour and a half after my workout in the

88
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: mornings on vacation are the best. Hey, um, Ashley, We've

89
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: got a lot to talk about, but before we do,

90
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break to talk about some of

91
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: our sponsors and we're gonna get back and break down

92
00:04:55,520 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: these this week's episode of Bachelor in Paradise. Jared and

93
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: I are obviously still getting some gifts in from our

94
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: Creating Barrel Registry. We have the most wonderful things, and

95
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 1: that's one of the things that we're working on now

96
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: now that we're home, is decorating our apartment, like putting

97
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: all of the registry items away and well not away,

98
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 1: but on display, and making our house our home now

99
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 1: and a home together, not a home that Jared moved into,

100
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: not like a girl retreat that my sister and I created.

101
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: It's now our home and we love the craning barrel

102
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: items that we've gotten. We were able to schedule a

103
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,799
Speaker 1: private registry event when we started to get our Creating

104
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: Barrel registry put together. So these events is something that

105
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: Creating Barrel hosts at their stores, where Creating Barrel experts

106
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: take you and your fiance around the store and they

107
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: offer tips and expert advice on the best items to

108
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 1: add to your wedding registry. They're gonna ask about your

109
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 1: style and what your needs are, whether or not you

110
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: have to furnish an entire home or really stock a

111
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 1: kitchen or a bathroom, or whether or not you have

112
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: a few pieces already that you want to work around.

113
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: So each couple gets to leave these events with a

114
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: special gift um, which is a fun takeaway to remember

115

Speaker 1: the experience, and you're gonna feel really good because you

116
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,839

134
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: talk about a lot of hot topics by yourself or

135
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: with the help of Easton and Mark and Tory and

136
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: Amy I'm sure and whoever the guests were that week,

137
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: But there was some very spicy topics that you had

138
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: to address, from Demi and Christian to uh, what was

139
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:38,119
Speaker 1: the other? Really? I guess Blake. You did Blake all alone, Dean. Wow. Okay,

140
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: that's crazy. But since we've been talking so much about

141
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: my vacation and my wedding, I want to ask you

142
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: what you've done the past couple of weeks besides the

143
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: podcast alone, Ashley, this is something so cool and I'm

144
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: glad you asked at the end of this podcast. By

145
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: the way, we haven't our notes here. I really want

146
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: to talk to you about your wedding and the honeymoon

147
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: and just like go into more details. I think it's important.

148
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: So even if you feel like you've talked about it

149
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: a ton, I want you to be selfish and talk

150
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: about it more time until our honeymo video comes out.

151
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: But we'll break down the podcast first or the episodes first.

152
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: But this is what I did, Ashley. For a couple

153
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: of weeks, I've been talking about almost famous podcast. I

154
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: haven't gotten into too many details about. Ten months ago,

155
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: two friends and I came up with an idea um

156
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: and I want to say I followed them. It's called

157
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: the Wedding Party. And the wedding Party was this festival

158
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:39,719
Speaker 1: where nine couples got married at one time on a stage.

159
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: I was the officiant. And then the reception is a

160
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: joint reception where all the couple's friends and family come

161
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,959
Speaker 1: together to celebrate. And then we also sold five hundred

162
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 1: wedding crash your tickets for random strangers that just want

163
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: to come to a massive, huge celebration. So the reception

164
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: is a food and drink festival. It happened this last Sunday.

165
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: This happened this week. Oh my gosh, I can't believe

166
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 1: it came in one already. This has been something thousand

167
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 1: people showed up. Two. How I feel about that? I mean, like,

168
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: I just want to know everybody at my wedding. I

169
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: don't know why these people would choose to, you know,

170
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 1: to have strangers at their wedding. But okay, so here's here.

171
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: It was our thought process. Actually, it was a magical night.

172
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: We had couples, uh, from all different backgrounds, all different

173
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 1: love stories. Uh. It was a very diverse group and

174
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: that made it so beautiful, and everybody was sharing love

175
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 1: on stage. Here's the type of people we had, right,

176
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: we had people that were going to Elope, uh, and

177
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: so they're just gonna go to the kind of the

178
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: courthouse and Elope. They were couples who maybe didn't have

179
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: the time to plan a wedding, or maybe didn't have

180
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: the finance to plan a wedding, or they just wanted

181
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: something weird. So like we had some couples that just

182
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: wanted like their wedding to be something weird, and so

183
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: all of those couples kind of matched our criteria. It

184
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 1: was beautiful. I'm telling you. We were all nervous. I

185
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,319
Speaker 1: was so anxious for weeks now, I've been anxious about

186
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: this thing, and it happened, and every couple on the

187
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: bus home that night, I was crying. It was amazing.

188
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 1: Did you officiate just one of the ceremonies? No, all nine.

189
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: You officiated nine ceremonies. It was one massive ceremony. So

190
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 1: the nine couples sit up on stage that each had

191
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: individual vows, walked down the aisle, and then all nine

192
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: couples sit up on stage and I went through the

193
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: whole thing with all nine of them. That's really cool.

194
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: If you're into something that's a little bit like different,

195
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: you know, if if you don't, if you never imagined

196
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: yourself having a traditional wedding, like you said, some of

197
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 1: these people were going to Elope. Some of these people

198
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: didn't want to plan that. It makes a lot of

199
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: sense for you, But you know it would be I

200
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: would you know it would be. It's unconventional. It is,

201
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: it is unconventional. It has to be the right person.

202
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you if you are the right couple.

203
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: It worked really well. But I just want to say

204
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: congratulations and Dining on Events, Um, that was It was

205
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: just a massive, beautiful ceremony. And the wedding planners knew

206
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: Troy from your wedding. They were good friends with them,

207
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: so that was cool. Anyways, Hey, if you're out there

208
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: listening to this and you think this is weird or

209
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: you think it's cool, uh, check out the wedding party

210
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: on Instagram, all the videos from this weekend. We're on it.

211
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: We'll do it again in a city near you, I

212
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: think really soon. Okay, Hey, that's enough about me. Actually,

213
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: we'll talk about you at the end of the podcast.

214
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: Let's jump in to this week's episode of Bachelor in Paradise. Actually,

215
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: there's so much going on. There's so much, so much

216
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: to talk about. I feel like we're at a place

217
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: where every love story is kind of culminating. And now

218
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: it's the make or break week in Paradise. It's that

219
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 1: decision making week because we're we have two more weeks left,

220
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: which is I think two more weeks, am I wrong?

221
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: Which is the longest season of Paradise ever though that's

222
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: seven weeks and it was four hours a week, all right. Actually,

223
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: after watching this week's episodes, I think there's only one

224
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: way to really break these down fairly, and that's to

225
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: kind of do it in all in one, like not

226
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: to do episode by episode like we usually do. But

227
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: they kind of tie it all together because it feels

228
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: like during this make or Break It week, all the

229
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: storylines are so tied together. You down for that, Well,

230
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 1: let's do it, okay, perfect, Okay. So here's the thing.

231
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: This whole episode or these all these episodes kind of

232
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 1: are set up with coming off of Kris and Crystal's wedding,

233
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: which was way more dramatic than any of us preferred

234
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: or wanted or even probably they wanted, but it caused

235
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: a lot of minute They were like that was they

236
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: didn't they didn't feel happy watching this back. It seems

237
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: like all this whole episode is set up by Chris

238
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: and Crystal's wedding, which had a lot of drama there

239
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: here last week talking about that it wasn't preferred, but

240
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: it happened. I mean, it's paradise. And some of the

241
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: biggest drama leading into this week was the question over

242
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 1: is Clay over Angela Ashley to me, I've has been

243
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 1: very clear, and that's why I'm confused the whole time

244
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: that he is very over Angela. It's still weird. It's

245
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: his ex, like there's still a little bit of a pole.

246
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 1: It's still probably hard to see her like that. That's natural,

247
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: but he's he's very much over her. It feels like

248
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 1: the beach though. The people on the beach are trying

249
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 1: to convince him that he isn't over Isn't that so weird?

250
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,439
Speaker 1: I would have never thought that he wasn't over it

251
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: until Tasia made a big deal that he wasn't and

252
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: she she said, like, you didn't mention that you had

253
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: a girlfriend to like everybody at the wedding, the newcomers

254
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: and such. Angela included in that, and I was all like,

255
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: understanding what you just said. Until Tasia brought up that

256
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: fact and I was like, wait, that is weird that

257
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 1: she didn't That he didn't bring up Nicole's name when

258
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: talking to Angela. That's wacky. That that's that that's proof

259
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: to me that maybe he was or Okay, maybe that

260
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: doesn't signal that he is not over Angela. Maybe it's

261
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: signals that he didn't want to hurt Angela more in

262
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 1: that moment, that was where I was going. I have

263
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: been around now, I was just thinking about this preparing

264
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: for the podcast. Was I been around some of my friends.

265
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: One of my my good buddies, you know, went through

266
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: a pretty bad breakup. He's now dating again. I cannot

267
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: imagine if he saw his ex and like within that conversation,

268
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: like how hard it was because they care about each

269
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: other still, like there it's a mutual breakup. They're fine,

270
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: but I think it would hurt them both if like

271
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: another name was brought up just out of nowhere. Now,

272
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: if it was asked, hey, how's your girlfriend. I think

273
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: it would be great to say she's awesome, she's great,

274
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: We're doing really well, but just says like I think

275
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: probably he felt like he was gonna just be like

276
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: rubbing it in a little bit if if he brought

277
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: up her name. Yeah, And he should have told Tisha

278
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: when she confronted him about that, that he simply didn't

279
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: want to hurt her feelings anymore, and that he probably

280
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: thought or he was probably naive to the thought that

281
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: there was a possibility of Angela coming into Paradise. He

282
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: possibly thought that he was just having a conversation with

283
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: her at the wedding and that she would find out

284
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: when he got home from Paradise that she showed up.

285
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: Is it hypocritical at all? It's a hypocrite. She's madic

286
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: Clay for coming down to Paradise and being there so soon.

287
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: Is it hypocritical at all for her to show up?

288
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: Or is it fair because since he went, it gives

289
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: her the not permission. Nobody needs permission to go to Paradise,

290
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: but does give her the right or does it make

291
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: it feel better that she came. I think I'm on

292
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: the side of it's fair that she's there, and like

293
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: she gets to do the whole thing too, especially if

294
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: he was the one who ended the relationship, then she

295
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: definitely should be allowed to go down to Paradise. I

296
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: think people in this whole like drama are probably being like, yeah,

297
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: but she's just there to create drama for Clay and

298
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: prevent him from having a happy ending. Possibly, she probably

299
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: wanted to go in and ruffle little feathers. She probably

300
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: wanted to make him feel a little bit jealous by

301
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: going out with Mike. She probably or anyone for that matter,

302
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: she but like, I don't think that she I think

303
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: maybe her intention was to go in and ruffle feathers

304
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: and make him jealous. But I think that at the

305
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: end of the day, she just end up going to

306
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: end up moving on. Yeah, I'm with you. I mean,

307
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel like it feels like both of them

308
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: had a mutual breakup. There was pains involved, it's time

309
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: to move on. And honestly, throughout this pod or throughout

310
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: this episode, I felt like we moved on and we

311
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: moved on to a mutual though, Ben, I think that

312
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: he broke up with her and she wanted to get back.

313
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: I think what you mean is like she wasn't like

314
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: it was done. It was there was no loose ends.

315
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: But I actually think that there was a loose end,

316
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: and I think that it was because Clay was trying

317
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: to ease the blow and he probably said something along

318
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: the lines. And I'm not sure if I said this

319
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: last week in the podcast, and I apologize to listeners

320
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: if I am repeating myself, but he said I think

321
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: when he was trying to ease the blow of the breakup,

322
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 1: he must have said something like, you know, I'm not

323
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 1: in the place right now, but one day I might be,

324
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 1: So like maybe this isn't over, but maybe, but I

325
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,199
Speaker 1: really need to take a break now. And if he

326
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 1: did end it like that, then I can see her

327
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: holding on hope and I can now understand why she

328
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: was so upset to see him there, because he should

329
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: have just been upfront and being like, you're not my person.

330
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 1: It's a weird breakup actually, because I remember when this

331
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 1: whole Paradise season started, we were just getting into it,

332
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,479
Speaker 1: and I mean, there was a thousand rumors around why

333
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: they broke up, from cheating to yeah, like there was

334
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 1: all these different rumors. I don't have any clue what happened.

335
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 1: There was no cheating, but I don't know why that

336
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 1: rumor started. I think, I think honestly because of the

337
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: way she acted at the wedding. She seemed like a

338
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: woman scored. Oh she did? Holy cow? Do you that

339
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: walk was? We all were like, what the like? We

340
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: felt the power in the stride. It was something else.

341
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: So well, let's close that chapter though, because it feels

342
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: like a chapter needs to be closed. Clay is happy,

343
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: Angela is moving on, and I want to sit here

344
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: for a bit, Ashley and try to dice sect the

345
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 1: J p J kind of interactions that he's having on

346
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: this episode. It feels heavy, it feels odd. It's hard

347
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: to watch from a guy that we've loved for his

348
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 1: joy and and and peacefulness and just kind of go

349
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: with the flow attitude. Ashley. It's gonna be a lot.

350
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: But I want to ask the second question of the

351
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: podcast to all the listeners out there. Please email us

352

353
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: us on Twitter and hashtag Almost Famous podcast. What are

354
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: your thoughts on JPJ? I don't know, you know, I

355
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: want the listeners to know. I really want the listeners

356
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: to kind of we're going to talk about ours, but

357
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: I really want the listeners to kind of fill in

358
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: on their thoughts. I think everybody's confused. It feels hard

359
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: to watch, and it isn't getting any easier to watch

360
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: with that. Actually, before we talk about jp J, let's

361
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: take one more breaks Cliffhanger. All right, Ashley, one of

362
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: our favorite people to ever come onto the Bachelor franchise.

363
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: We've loved him, we've supported him, we've lifted him up,

364
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: and we put him on this prestigious pedestal, and then

365
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 1: this week j p J feels like falls hard. He

366
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: feels like he falls hard in multiple ways. He's falling

367
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: hard for Tasia, but he's falling hard on the show

368
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: as well. Ashley, you're always an expert at this. You

369
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,199
Speaker 1: break these things down better than I ever could. What

370
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: are you seeing? What are you feeling? And then leading

371
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: into even the second episode, what where? What are we

372
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: thinking about JPJ? Right now? My my thoughts on jp

373
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: J are really all over the place. I want to

374
00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: say that I think that he's been one of our

375
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 1: favorite people to watch, but we even't really like known

376
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: his character, and now where he's kind of like showing

377
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 1: his character and it's like he just seems to want

378
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: to fight. I don't know, I really I wish. I

379
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 1: wish I could articulate myself better here with JPJ. But

380
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 1: maybe he truly heard something. I really want to give

381
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: him a bit of the benefit of the doubt right

382
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: now and say that maybe he truly did hear something

383
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:34,479
Speaker 1: behind the scenes of Derek saying something that he really

384
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: thought symbolize a character fall on him and he was

385
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 1: really trying to protect Asia from a bad guy. Um,

386
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 1: But what it appears on TV is that he's really

387
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 1: just jealous and coming up with anything to claim that

388
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 1: Derok is just a jerk who is unfit for Tasia.

389
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: His behavior has been extra The way that he's dealt

390
00:20:55,840 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: with this jealousy or whatever he heard is really been

391
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 1: completely immature. He has very poor argumentative skills, and I

392
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 1: think now that Derek is gone, I I think it's

393
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,439
Speaker 1: gonna be hard for him to win Tasha back after

394
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 1: all the drama that he's created. Here's what I think.

395
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: What do you think? I think that j Pj's feeling

396
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,919
Speaker 1: like he really cares for Tasha. He doesn't know how

397
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: to handle that well. I don't think his ability to

398
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 1: debate has gone well at all. I think he gets

399
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: in his own head. In his own head, he doesn't

400
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,959
Speaker 1: make great points, So we're watching him just kind of

401
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: get frustrated with not only a situation but with himself

402
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: because he has things he wants to say. But then

403
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: he just laughs in people's face, which is one of

404
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: the most childish, disrespectful things I could I could think of,

405
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: And I'm not okay with that. If I have an

406
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: issue with another person and actually I need to go

407
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: off on a little tangent. I haven't done this in

408
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 1: a while, but it feels kind of good if I

409
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 1: have an issue with a person, how Derek handled that. Now,

410
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: I don't know what Derek said behind the scenes. I

411
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: don't know Derek really well personally, But if I have

412
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: an issue with somebody, what Derek did by going to

413
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: JPJ and saying, can we talk about this together personally

414
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 1: because I want to just try to get this fixed,

415
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 1: is the right way to handle it. But I can

416
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 1: see where angle anger ensues when somebody starts laughing in

417
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: your face about some of the things you're upset about.

418
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 1: I also now I fear that JPJ blaming this on

419
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,199
Speaker 1: Derek is going to come back to Biden because I

420
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 1: think jpj's issues are gonna still exist even with Derek gone,

421
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,919
Speaker 1: which is gonna show that Derek wasn't the issue. The

422
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: issue was JPJ himself struggling with ever whatever emotion was

423
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 1: internally inside of him. And I'm coming to all of this,

424
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: and I didn't say a lot about it last week

425
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,360
Speaker 1: because I didn't know how I felt. I'm saying all

426
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: of this because for me, it was proven this week

427
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,360
Speaker 1: that JPJ has something going on that is not healthy

428
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: and not good when he spoke to Haley when it

429
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: was just Derek and JPJ is like, Okay, maybe Derek

430
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: did say something behind the scenes upset JPJ. Maybe Derek

431
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 1: is like showing us side not around cameras that we

432
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: are seeing. I don't know that side of it, right,

433
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,199
Speaker 1: I got to just kind of watch and see. But

434
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 1: once JPJ sat down with Haley and the way he

435
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: handled that conversation and how much confidence he had and

436
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: that he handled it correctly, which he didn't, and how

437
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: sad and hurt she was and how bad he wasn't communicating,

438
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 1: then I then it for for the first time, we

439
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: really started to think this is a JPJ issue only

440
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: and nobody else's issue. Yeah, you're right, boom he said it.

441
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 1: You're talking about the conversation that they had at the bar,

442
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: and that was she just I was so proud of

443
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 1: her in that moment, and I love the way Demi

444
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 1: was reacting to her because like she kept hitting all

445
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 1: of his hypocritical points. Yeah, definitely. It's just it's tough,

446
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: and we see it through episode two as well. Is

447
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: the guys worked up, and when he works up, it

448
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 1: feels like he does the common thing where once we

449
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: get angry, we stopped listening and we start to like

450
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: get defensive and have more confidence that our anger is necessary.

451
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 1: But here's the thing, none of us are our best

452
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 1: selves when we're defensive. I said it last week. I'll

453
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,679
Speaker 1: say it again this week. None of us are our

454
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 1: best sellers and we're defensive. We have too in those moments,

455
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: take a step back and go what am I seeing here? What?

456
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: What is the situation? Am I wrong? Am I right? Uh?

457
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,199
Speaker 1: You know there's there's a great quote that my mentor

458
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: told me. And when you put yourself in a place

459
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,919
Speaker 1: of leadership or you have a platform, like anybody in

460
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 1: this show has, you give up the ability to overreact.

461
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 1: And I think in this moment J PJ is overreacting

462
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 1: and we're watching it live on television and we're not

463
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 1: seeing his best self. I don't think. And then I

464
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 1: want to ask you and I want to ask our

465
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 1: listeners this, what we're seeing right now is not who

466
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 1: JPJ typically is. Right, It's not a microcosm of his

467
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 1: everyday life, or do you guys believe it is? Like?

468
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 1: Is this how he interacts into his normal everyday life

469
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 1: and we just haven't seen it yet? No. I think

470
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: that this is a case of the show and the

471
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: situations that the show puts you in um putting, displaying

472
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 1: the worst part of your personality, a part of your

473
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 1: personality that you do yourself, don't even see very often,

474
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 1: but like it comes out in this very weird culture

475
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 1: that is Bachelor in Paradise. I think that remember before

476
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: the wedding, the first half of the wedding, it was

477
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: so funny that during the during like the pre cocktail party,

478
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,360
Speaker 1: everyone was talking about JPJ and like how surprised they

479
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,719
Speaker 1: were by him, and how wonderful he was and the

480
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: best listener and communicator and all this stuff, and like

481
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: people said that they felt so deeply connected to him.

482
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 1: And then the second half of the wedding, during the

483
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 1: actual you know, like the cocktail party before the reception,

484
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 1: everybody was like that was so out of character, and everybodydy,

485
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 1: everybody's felt so thrown off by him. So I think

486
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 1: what his normal personality is is what they described. But

487
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,719
Speaker 1: then I think the situation that he was part of

488
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 1: just made the worst of himself come out well, and

489
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 1: it doesn't seem to throw it of Tassia too much,

490
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: super confused because like you'd think that it would, but

491
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 1: maybe and like you know what she's like at the wedding.

492
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say this. At the wedding, she told

493
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: me that both JPJ and Derek were interested in her,

494
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: but she said that her heart was really pulling her

495
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: in the JPJ such um side of things. But on

496
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:27,439
Speaker 1: the show, I've seen her more torn than anything, and

497
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 1: I don't see any of these strong emotions that she

498
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: told me about. I think she just seems confused. And

499
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 1: if it doesn't, doesn't she just seem confused to me.

500
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: Like when she dumped Derek, it was because she clearly

501
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 1: didn't really have feelings for Derek. But with jp J,

502
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 1: I don't really feel anything for her either. It's it's

503
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 1: almost like maybe we didn't see all of it, but

504
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 1: it's almost like jp if she was so unattracted to

505
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: the arguments, it felt like I'm I'm not. It felt

506
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: like JPJ almost was leading these arguments. So if she

507
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: was unattracted to Derek because he was argumentative, then wouldn't

508
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 1: she just be unattracted to Jpj's well, But she chooses,

509
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,199
Speaker 1: so I don't think she wasn't She wasn't unattracted to

510
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,120
Speaker 1: Derek because of like any argument. She just like truly

511
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: felt more of a intellectual, emotional, I don't know, physical

512
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 1: attraction to JPJ over Derek. And this was before the

513
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 1: fight even happened, that I was having this conversation with her.

514
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 1: But I wonder why she felt that she why she

515
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 1: would even entertain the idea of Derek there. Yeah, I

516
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:37,919
Speaker 1: think I haven't. I have a theory. Her brain was

517
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 1: saying JPJ makes no sense with you. You have no

518
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 1: future with a guy like that. He's never what you

519
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: pictured yourself with. But there was some pull in her

520
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: heart that said, like, you should give this a try. Yeah,

521
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,159
Speaker 1: And it's almost like that you hear it every once

522
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 1: in a while kind of whispered into bachelination is like

523
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 1: the Bachelor's the one time you can date somebody that

524
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 1: you're not typically used to dating. And it feels like

525
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 1: Sha isn't used to dating like the jpg's of the world,

526
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: and it scares her. And then and then when she

527
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: starts to like tip her you know, toe in the water,

528
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,479
Speaker 1: the JPJ water, She's like, oh, I kind of like it,

529
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: but yeah, it feels weird and it's like a little

530
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: bit off. I think that this whole situation is going

531
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:19,919
Speaker 1: to be an interesting one to watch. I mean obviously

532
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 1: Tasia hasn't given up on them yet. It feels it

533
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 1: feels like hopefully JPJ can start to get his stuff together.

534
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: I still feel bad, honestly for Haley. I don't love

535
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 1: how this played out for her. Um it isn't great.

536
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: She's a great girl. Um. I've gotten to know them personally,

537
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: obviously they're on my season. Uh and Haley for the

538
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 1: first time, you know, a long time time to through

539
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: a risk and came there without her sister. It feels

540
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: like this isn't gonna end well for Haley, and unfortunately

541
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: JPJ is the cause of it. And we should also

542
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: say that Haley ends up getting given her rose to to.

543
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: I was gonna say Nick, which is really it's not Nick,

544
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 1: it's Luke s and I don't understand these comparisons. There's

545
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: a similarity, but they're not the same. People think they're

546
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 1: very similar looking, not like the same person said yes

547
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: and no, like yes and no. I mean okay, it's

548
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 1: it's if you set them side by side, you'd be like, okay,

549
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: they look similar. Now Now Nick is like, it's the face,

550
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 1: it's just all the hair textures and it's the hair.

551
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: I mean, Nick's Nick's a Division one athlete. Like there's

552
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: a different like body structure that exists with Nick than

553
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: than Lucas. Uh well, hey, we brought up blue cast,

554
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: so let's talk about it. Not nothing crazy going on here.

555
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 1: But Lucas shows up to the beach along with Mr

556
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 1: McDonald um, and they are I mean, McDonald's the hot

557
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,959
Speaker 1: commodity in Paradise. Lucas doesn't get a lot of attention.

558
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: I think he's kind of like takes Christina out by

559
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: default or Christina goes out with him by the fall.

560
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: But McDonald, now, yeah, women are like super into him

561
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: and it's funny. I don't. I don't. I think he's

562
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: a good looking guy. I don't like to understand why

563
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: the women are just funny. He seems very sweet. He

564
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: comes from apparently a very wholesome household because he's very

565
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: concerned about his mom seeing him kiss on the show.

566
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: He's not used to the whole Bachelor format, considering he

567
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: was eliminated on night one of Hannah's season, so he's

568
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 1: very slow to kiss Sydney, which he does before the

569
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: rose ceremony in which she gives him her rose, but

570
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 1: then he ends up going out on a date with Bree,

571
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: who is super beautiful and from Arisri season. Wait, no,

572
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: she's from she's from Colton season. Why would I think

573
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 1: she's from c Coulton season? Totally under the radar. She

574
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: comes in and Matt McDonald goes on a date with

575
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: her and they kiss there too. It's Donald, by the way,

576
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: I said McDonald, But it's Donald. I just looked it up.

577
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 1: It is Donald, looked McDonald. You know. He was being

578
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: kind of hyped up as the next grocery store Joe.

579
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's got that swagger. Actually, I'm

580
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: all for wholesomeness. I really am. Like it's nice. It'sespecially

581
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: good to see on this show, but it feels weird

582
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: to me. And I love my mom and I don't

583
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 1: want her to see me doing weird stuff on TV.

584
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 1: That's not good for anybody. But it felt like almost

585
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: awkward for me to watch him say I can't do

586
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: this because my mom wouldn't like it. It was super weird.

587
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: I'm like, you're an adult, You're on the Bachelor. Your

588
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: mom I'm sure condones you being on the Bachelor because

589
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: this is your second time around. It's okay. It was

590
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 1: super awkward because she said, I'm sorry, I keep saying

591
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:56,239
Speaker 1: super awk, but she said, um that thing like how

592
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: do you say kiss? And then he was like, I

593
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: don't think I can do that. I mean, so we agree,

594
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 1: Like Matt Donald seems like a nice dude, Like he

595
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: seems like his intentions are good. He you know, the

596
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: women are saying that he's super attractive. They're into it.

597
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: I'm rooting for Matt Donald here. I mean, I know,

598
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: his like whole hey, i'm not gonna kiss you thing

599
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: because my mom's watching feels weird. But then he ends

600
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: up kissing her. You know, he doesn't hold back from

601
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: the kissing after he gets comfortable with the cameras. I

602
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: I get it, Like when you show I mean, he

603
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: was only we forget this. He was only there for

604
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: a few hours during his time on the Bachelorette. He

605
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: isn't used to the cameras at all. The rest of

606
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 1: these people are. He shows up now for the first

607
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: time ever, he's in front of cameras and he's dating

608
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: and he's gonna be kissing. It is a hard transition.

609
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: So that's all we can't forget here. I think for me,

610
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: I got like right away, I was like, well, that's weird.

611
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: He's just being weird. And then I was like, no,

612
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: for the first time ever, this dude's in front of

613
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: cameras and he's being pursued for the first time ever.

614
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: Like he got thrown in fast to this whole thing

615
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: he did. He's not used to it, and like that

616
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: always happens with the night winners that end up in paradise.

617
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: But he's gonna thrive. It kind of already feels like it, right,

618
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 1: I mean, did we see it with with Bree, who

619
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: is a beautiful person. We've met Brie and she's into him.

620
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: So now Matt Donald has his his hands full, and

621
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 1: I wonder how I want Haley to do well. I

622
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: want Haley to do well. Why can't Haley and Matt

623
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: be okay? Why can't they be dating? It just feels

624
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: like I think that Haley. I honestly thought Haley and

625
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 1: JPJ were the couple that could make it work. Remember

626
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: when we said, like going into Paradise. I think before

627
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: it's shot that we were like the JPJ and Haley

628
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: makes so much sense together. Um, she like she said

629
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 1: that he's playful and funny and smart, and they could

630
00:33:57,720 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: you know that she could be a really good match

631
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: with APJ, but we obviously see that she had no

632
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: longer felt that way eventually. But we still want happiness

633
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: for Haley, but I guess we want happiness for everyone. Yeah,

634
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: I mean we do, but at the same time, we

635
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: want good matches, and it feels like the JPJ Haley

636
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 1: match worked. It also feels like Matt Donald is compatible

637
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: here with a lot of the women left in Paradise.

638
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 1: I mean, we see Sydney still in tow him by

639
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: giving him her rose, and then we see, you know,

640
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 1: the brief situation kind of come to ahead with her

641
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 1: asking Matt on the date Matt, Matt might be kind

642
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,959
Speaker 1: of that like last couple of weeks person to step

643
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: into Paradise and cause a WorldWind, a whirlwind or you know,

644
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: a big mess for the couple of sitting there tornado.

645
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 1: It always is weird, though, with these late entrances, because

646
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 1: it's often encouraged to leave Paradise engaged or you know,

647
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 1: or then you can just like, you know, kind of

648
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: flirt in real life. So it's always like, well, if

649
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 1: they're going to come in this late, they're obviously not

650
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 1: going to get engaged. So these people are just going

651
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 1: to have to be okay with dating in real life

652
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: and leaving the show before it's really like the show

653
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: is done filming. Yeah right, it's like, what's the point.

654
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: I think that there should be a season, And this

655
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: is a great question for the audience. I think there

656
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: should be a season where people stop coming in at

657
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: a certain point and if you don't like anyone, if

658
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 1: there's you're not hitting it off with anybody there and

659
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: you're not like going to get to an engagement point,

660
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: then you go and we watch people who are in relationships,

661
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 1: serious relationships grow and we get to know their relationship more.

662
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:47,760
Speaker 1: Because I do think that there there there's a problem

663
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 1: with Paradise because sometimes when you couple up and get

664
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 1: into a serious relationship, that's when we stop seeing anything

665
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: from you. Like we've seen so little Hannah g and

666
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 1: Dylan the past couple of weeks because they're just happy

667
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 1: and there's no drama with them anymore. But then we're

668
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 1: not really getting to know what they have. The same thing,

669
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 1: I mean, the same thing could be argued with Chris

670
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 1: and Katie. We haven't seen any of Chris Bukowski and

671
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 1: Katie because you know, like we saw this week he

672
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 1: asked her to be his girlfriend, which means they've been

673
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 1: doing great with little drama, so we don't see them

674
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 1: like we we lose the love aspect of the show

675
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 1: because they aren't creating any of the stories. Yes, so

676
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 1: I think, like you know, maybe Bachelor producers, next season

677
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 1: you cut people coming in off at a certain point

678
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 1: and then we just get to see what's flourishing in

679
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 1: paradise more. Let me know, audience, if you think that

680
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 1: this is something that they should explore for a future season.

681
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 1: That's a good question, and I mean it really comes

682
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: out of this Ashley. Are people we're talking about this

683
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,839
Speaker 1: right now with the Bachelor Live Show where we're doing

684
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 1: the tour around the United States? Is are people more

685
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: interested in watching the drama or watching the love? We

686
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 1: don't know yet. That's a question that everybody's been asking

687
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 1: about The Bachelor since the beginning of time. Do you

688
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 1: watch it for the drama or do you watch it

689
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 1: for the love? If it was just a love show,

690
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 1: would you still be as interested? I would argue you

691
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 1: wouldn't be. I think we like watching the drama. I

692
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,399
Speaker 1: think you're right. I think there's a balance to be had,

693
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: and I think maybe the quota for love is a

694
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 1: little low right now, maybe a little bit more more

695
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 1: just some funny moments between Katie and Chris or Hannah

696
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: and Dylan. We did see some pretty intense uh Dylan

697
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:34,240
Speaker 1: boom boom room action. Yeah, I mean okay, so speaking

698
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: of boom boom room, Yeah, let's move on. Yeah, we

699
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,840
Speaker 1: have a few more stories that we need to break down.

700
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 1: We have Blake and Christina starting their little love triangle.

701
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 1: We have Dean showing up to Paradise. We have Kalen

702
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:49,280
Speaker 1: and Connor and Klin saying that she is taking Connor

703
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 1: to the boom boom room or he's taking here. I

704
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,879
Speaker 1: don't know how that works. It's mutual, it's can there's

705
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 1: constant I'm sure. Um actually there is very very and

706
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 1: we're going to find out about that consent and more

707
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: coming up, but before we do, let's take a quick

708
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 1: and final break to talk about some of our wonderful sponsors.

709
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 1: Beta Brand wants you to look good and feel good

710
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:23,160

713
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 1: what's going on here? Okay, So basically, Beta Brand made

714
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: yoga pants for work, so it doesn't look like you're

715
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 1: going to work in yoga pants, but it feels like

716
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 1: you're going to work in yoga pants. And I can't

717
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 1: think of anything more exciting for somebody who has to

718
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 1: sit at a desk for, you know, like eight hours

719
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 1: a day. Beta Brand has this dress pants yoga pants

720
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: feature that has ultra comfy styles designed to impress. They

721
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:59,840
Speaker 1: are wrinkle resistant and they have a four way stretch

722
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: and a ponty knit fabric. It's a special fabric. It's

723
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: even like higher quality than what you get from really

724
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 1: good yoga pants. And they also have these thoughtful details

725
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: like false zippers and front buttons and belt loops. So

726
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,720
Speaker 1: it creates the illusion that you're wearing like some serious

727
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: work pants, but they're not. They're just compies. I'm just

728
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 1: I just think it's so genius. I would be having

729
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 1: them in every single style. Speaking of styles that have

730
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,320
Speaker 1: a ton um, there's a boot cut, straight leg, skinny,

731
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 1: a cropt. They also come int a whole bunch of

739

00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 1: few of the things that discussed. We have a big

754
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 1: engagement in Batination. We also have your wedding to chat about.

755
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 1: In addition to all that, we need to finish breaking

756
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 1: that down this week's episodes of Bachelor in Paradise. There's

757
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 1: really two main storylines that I think we need to

758
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:12,839
Speaker 1: talk about that are currently existing in Paradise. One is

759
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:17,840
Speaker 1: that you know, obviously we see Mike go home. Um,

760
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:20,360
Speaker 1: that's sad. And then you know, we don't know what

761
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:24,439
Speaker 1: his future entails, but we were hopeful that we'll see

762
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 1: more of Mike. But outside of his departure, which is

763
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:32,760
Speaker 1: obviously a big departure from Paradise, we have the biggest

764
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 1: story of the week, which is my in my opinion,

765
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 1: the Dean scenario. And so let's start with a huge story,

766
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 1: but not as impactful of story. It's the Blake and

767
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:45,800
Speaker 1: Christina situation. Here. Let's lay it down for a second.

768
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,719
Speaker 1: Blake and Christina, it's been public that they've dated before Paradise.

769
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 1: They had something that was good, they had ended it mutually.

770
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:57,360
Speaker 1: But then also Christina was involved in the stagecoach coach scenario,

771
00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 1: so we saw her show up to Paradise take Blake

772
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 1: on a date. Uh, she wasn't very happy with him.

773
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,399
Speaker 1: She had no intention of any romantic relationship with him,

774
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 1: and then as this season has continued, she's been very

775
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 1: supportive of Blake and kind of kept him around because

776
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:16,240
Speaker 1: she believes he is a good man that deserves love.

777
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 1: We have Blake then, and we see him alone often sad.

778
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: He always has a football in his hand. He's sometimes

779
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:25,839
Speaker 1: sitting off the side, he's stubbing his toe. His whole

780
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:29,719
Speaker 1: time on Paradise right, it's been awful. His whole time

781
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 1: in Paradise has been painful at best, and it has

782
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:35,760
Speaker 1: not been good for him. I think it has caused

783
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 1: obviously saw the public things that he's done on social media,

784
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 1: he's gone out and said, hey, I this Kalin situation.

785
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 1: It's not what it's looked like. There was a mutual thing.

786
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 1: All this stuff has led up to this point. I

787
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 1: told him to go to Europe, and I will clarify.

788
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 1: I told him to go to Europe just for the

789
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:56,840
Speaker 1: Paradise airing, not to live forever, just to ignore things

790
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 1: and ignore things. He probably should up the first few weeks,

791
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 1: but he obviously didn't. Leading up to this moment, when

792
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:08,840
Speaker 1: Blake started saying all the characteristics he wants in a woman.

793
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 1: He starts claiming all these things that he sees, and

794
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,880
Speaker 1: then he goes, holy cow, this woman is right in

795
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 1: front of me and it's Christina Ashley. Just without let

796
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 1: Stephen take the show out of play here. For if

797
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,919
Speaker 1: somebody were to tell you this story without you having

798
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:32,360
Speaker 1: any context, your first reaction would be what would be

799
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 1: he does? He says he doesn't want to do friendship

800
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 1: roses anymore, so he's going to up the antie with

801
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 1: Christina just for Paradise. I mean, sorry, but they already

802
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 1: did that whole relationship in real life thing and it

803
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 1: didn't work out. I guess I can't speak though, because

804
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 1: Jared and I did very similar things where it was

805
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 1: like we're kind of together in Paradise, and then it's

806
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 1: like we're kind of together camera, and then we're very

807
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 1: much not together off camera, and then we're very off

808
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 1: camera we're very not on in paradise. So feelings can

809
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 1: change and evolve, and friendships can definitely turn into more

810
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 1: even if they started romantic in the first place. So

811
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,799
Speaker 1: I can't completely crap on this, but I think it

812
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,320
Speaker 1: is a little bit hard for the audience to believe

813
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:26,360
Speaker 1: that at this moment, all the sudden, his eyes open

814
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 1: to this girl who's been there all along, and it's

815
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 1: supposed to be romantic, but it's just a little bit

816
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 1: hard to buy. But sometimes things that are real are

817
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 1: also hard to buy. Definitely, I just and I think

818
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 1: she's skeptical too. I think that's maybe how you sum

819
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 1: this up is we just don't know yet, but she's

820
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:49,440
Speaker 1: obviously skeptical. This whole scenario is a little skeptical. But

821
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 1: we're also coming in this and I want to give

822
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:53,880
Speaker 1: Blake the benefit of the doubt. We're coming into into

823
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: this whole thing with a frame of how this season's

824
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 1: gone for him so far, and so you know, Blake

825
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:02,799
Speaker 1: hasn't been and uh maybe beloved or rooted for as

826
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 1: much as maybe some of the people in Paradise are

827
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:07,279
Speaker 1: kind of routed for him. We don't know. But all this,

828
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 1: you know, if this was if this same scenario was

829
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 1: reversed and it was somebody like a let's say Clay,

830
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:15,360
Speaker 1: who we won't know, has wanted love, maybe he hasn't

831
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:17,840
Speaker 1: messed up like Blake did a couple of times, we

832
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 1: would be saying this is maybe sweet, this is maybe nice,

833
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 1: this is awesome, that he's still this woman that has

834
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 1: been in front of the whole time. He's actually into Yeah,

835
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 1: it definitely, definitely, You're right. It depends. It's because Blake

836
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:32,760
Speaker 1: started out with such a bad taste in people's mouths.

837
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 1: But I do want to say that Blake has come

838
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,320
Speaker 1: across over the past two weeks now, like really sweet.

839
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 1: He seems like a good listener. He's there having heart

840
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:44,319
Speaker 1: to heart with everybody, and I'm I'm feeling better about Blake,

841
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 1: and I'm sure a lot of our listeners aren't too.

842
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:49,839
Speaker 1: I think he's going to be routed fourth. Then that's

843
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:51,919
Speaker 1: my that's my thing, is I think on the live

844
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 1: show and then here I think we'll be rooting for Blake.

845
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:57,719
Speaker 1: I don't know. I would just imagine just knowing his

846
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 1: intentions this whole thing. Maybe just like we Blake, you

847
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 1: messed up. It wasn't good, But like, let's move on

848
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 1: from it, truly, let's learn from it. The Kalin and

849
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 1: Blake drama that happened with the text messages. It was

850
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 1: it was about four weeks ago today, and it's like

851
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 1: it feels like it was forever ago. People move on

852
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 1: quick in Paradise. Well, speaking of moving on, quick. Does

853
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 1: it feel like Dean moved on quick? Actually he need it.

854
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:31,319
Speaker 1: He he came back to America and within literally I

855
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 1: feel like twenty four to four d eight hours, he

856
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 1: was like, I'm going to go back for her. I

857
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 1: miss her. And if you guys really want to know

858
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:40,839
Speaker 1: what Dean did, I'm sure he'll talk more about it

859
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 1: on the help of Second Dating podcast. But he went

860
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:48,800
Speaker 1: to the Grand Canyon by himself. He must have landed

861
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,400
Speaker 1: back at l a X, took his van to the

862
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 1: Grand Canyon, which is like what eight to ten hours

863
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 1: away or something, and then he like sat there looking

864
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 1: at all the majestic beauty that is Mother Nature, and

865
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 1: he thought, I want Calin besides me for this moment.

866
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 1: And then he turned around and I don't know, I

867
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:13,160
Speaker 1: don't know how this man doesn't get tired of driving,

868
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:15,840
Speaker 1: but he like turns right around and goes back to

869
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:18,839
Speaker 1: l A Records a help I suck at Dating podcast,

870
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:22,719
Speaker 1: And then he got back on a plane to Mexico

871
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 1: to go after Calin. And I think it's super romantic

872
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 1: and I wish they had documented. Oh, I guess they

873
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 1: didn't know this was going to happen. They didn't know

874
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 1: that his feelings were just not going to disappear, and

875
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 1: that he was going to have so much regret. But

876
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:37,959
Speaker 1: it would be super It would have been nice to see,

877
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 1: like all the emotional turmoil he was going through for

878
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 1: those forty eight hours and the decision to go back

879
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:47,920
Speaker 1: and try to get her well, I mean, let's you

880
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:50,839
Speaker 1: explain it perfectly. So he went through Terminili, came back,

881
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 1: did a little work here in studio, said oh, I

882
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,840
Speaker 1: like this girl. Flew back, shaved his mustache, but she

883
00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 1: didn't pause her time in paradise. She is a good

884
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:03,879
Speaker 1: thing going. What we see at least with Connor, I mean,

885
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:06,440
Speaker 1: they're hot and heavy. They seem to be into each other.

886
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 1: They're kind of those cup that couple that we haven't

887
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 1: seen a lot from, probably because they're not causing a

888
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 1: lot of drama. They're doing a lot of kissing. It

889
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:15,800
Speaker 1: feels very uh physical, It feels like they're very attracted

890
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:17,840
Speaker 1: to each other. And she also says I'm gonna go

891
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:20,840
Speaker 1: to the boom boom room with Connor. All of this

892
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 1: leading up to Dean coming back, and we're kind of

893
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 1: on this cliffhanger right now. The idea is that people

894
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 1: believe Dean and Kylin had a stronger kind of connection. Also,

895
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 1: Klin was pretty beat, just like very sad about you know,

896
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:40,279
Speaker 1: Dean leaving. What happens does she leave? I don't know.

897
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:42,359
Speaker 1: We don't know. We're going to find out next week.

898
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:46,240
Speaker 1: They've really been teasing this. It's been to cliffhangers. Really.

899
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:48,880
Speaker 1: They showed us a preview last week and then we

900
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 1: really didn't get any answers, and we're getting the same

901
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 1: preview for next week. I obviously, you know, love Dean.

902
00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:58,399
Speaker 1: Dean is a very close friend of both of ours.

903
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 1: I think we're rooting for Dean and k them to

904
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:03,879
Speaker 1: get back together. In this situation, I personally, I don't,

905
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not there, but I feel like there

906
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 1: was a more There was a more depth to Dean

907
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 1: and Kaylin's relationship, and then with her relationship with Connor,

908
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:15,400
Speaker 1: it seems to be a little bit more just physical.

909
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:18,839
Speaker 1: But you know, maybe I don't know the whole scenario.

910
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:23,400
Speaker 1: And I know that Dean is perhaps not the most

911
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 1: trustworthy person in relationships. And I don't mean that as

912
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 1: far as like his fidelity goes. I mean that as

913
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:31,920
Speaker 1: far as like just like if he's in the right

914
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:35,319
Speaker 1: spot in his life to have a real relationship. We

915
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 1: talked about this last week and how he needs to

916
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 1: find someone who's totally okay with him going all over

917
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:43,239
Speaker 1: the country in a van and maybe not being with

918
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:47,320
Speaker 1: her on even a weekly basis and living this lifestyle

919
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 1: that's not going to be compatible to most. But I

920
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 1: am rooting for them because I just like them both individually,

921
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 1: and I liked the connection that they had together and

922
00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:59,800
Speaker 1: seeing her so sad over Dean the day of the wedding,

923
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:02,040
Speaker 1: it just made me feel like I want them to

924
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:05,239
Speaker 1: give another goal and there's always somebody here in the process.

925
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:08,879
Speaker 1: And we all like Connor and let's see how he

926
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,440
Speaker 1: handles this if that were to happen, and if not,

927
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 1: how Dean's gonna handle possible rejection. That will be coming

928
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 1: up next week. But that was this week's episodes of

929
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:22,400
Speaker 1: Bachelor in Paradise. It was wild. It was crazy. To

930
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 1: summarize it all, I just want to run through the

938
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:50,880

Speaker 1: the episode. One is Astron and Kevin are now engaged.

Speaker 1: It was announced on social media UH this week that

00:50:57,320 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 1: Kevin and Astrid are engaged. We're happy for him, we

Speaker 1: still rate them. Everybody is finding love and bat nation

943
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:05,439
Speaker 1: and we couldn't be more excited for it. Speaking of love,

944
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:09,640
Speaker 1: love blossoms here on the Almost Fromous podcast and Ashley

945
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 1: I Ken Eddie was celebrating her love with her lover

946
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 1: in a Lover's Week and I have together. Hey, Ashley,

947
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:22,239
Speaker 1: our listeners have been asking, I've been wondering. I'm just

948
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 1: gonna let you have the floor here kind of question time.

949
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:30,359
Speaker 1: Give me questions, Ashley. Um, your wedding was beautiful. I've

950
00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:33,280
Speaker 1: summarized a bit of it. The ceremony was a beautiful

951
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:36,440
Speaker 1: ceremony led by Along Gale. The reception was something that

952
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:40,000
Speaker 1: was magical. What was it about your reception that you

953
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 1: really really wanted that you got maybe as a surprise

954
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 1: and you walked in. Can you at least give our

955
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 1: listeners a picture of what your reception looked like because

956
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 1: it was something to be seen. Well, I guess they

957
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:56,680
Speaker 1: can see all the pictures on social media and there

958
00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:58,399
Speaker 1: is a couple of links that we've put out there

959
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:01,919
Speaker 1: with like hundreds of pictures, and we've already put out

960
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:06,360
Speaker 1: the surprise day of video that I know that Ben

961
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:10,719
Speaker 1: had spoken about what that are Our videographers REV put

962
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:14,280
Speaker 1: together which was really really cool because they put together

963
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:17,520
Speaker 1: a video like all of our reception and we watched

964
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:21,480
Speaker 1: it at the reception. It was wacky, super cool. Anybody

965
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:24,840
Speaker 1: out there who needs a wedding videographer anywhere throughout the country,

966
00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:28,799
Speaker 1: check out REV. It's uh, I'm shameless, plug, but I

967
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:32,760
Speaker 1: don't care. It's a It's l E and then space

968
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:37,959
Speaker 1: R E v E. They are unbelievable. So I think

969
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:41,359
Speaker 1: the thing that that was our reception. People made fun

970
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:43,640
Speaker 1: of us for saying that we wanted our wedding day

971
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:46,880
Speaker 1: to be a romantic experience and not just like a

972
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:50,399
Speaker 1: party in which Bruno Mars like uptown funk you up

973
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:53,480
Speaker 1: plays and like the most standard wedding music, I'm sorry.

974
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:57,840
Speaker 1: So we kind of created a musical journey, and I

975
00:52:57,840 --> 00:52:59,800
Speaker 1: think one of the most special things about our reception

976
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 1: was that we handpicked every single song that was played.

977
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:07,719
Speaker 1: I just my wedding planner thought I was nuts, like

978
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:11,080
Speaker 1: he loved it, but he also was like all these

979
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 1: music cues where it was the hardest part of the

980
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:17,279
Speaker 1: day for him. So we had one of Jared's best friend,

981
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:19,440
Speaker 1: but also shout out to Troy Williams. If you need

982
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:22,799
Speaker 1: a wedding planner, Troy Williams of simply Troy. It's very

983
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:26,800
Speaker 1: easy to find his info. Um. So we had Jared's

984
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:31,239
Speaker 1: good friend Frank. He played are the song that I

985
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:34,040
Speaker 1: walked on the aisle too, which was Hansen's for Your Love.

986
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 1: So our romantic experience, and it's no different than Catherine

987
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:42,799
Speaker 1: Low saying that she wanted a grown sexy theme, like

988
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:45,920
Speaker 1: what the hell I remember watching their wedding and mean, like,

989
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:49,600
Speaker 1: what is grown sexy? Anyway, it made sense when we

990
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:53,960
Speaker 1: all saw put together. So first we had Frank heard

991
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:56,239
Speaker 1: sing for Your Love and I walked down the aisle

992
00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:58,560
Speaker 1: to that, and I had to have the doors opened.

993
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:01,400
Speaker 1: The church doors had to open out a specific note,

994
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:03,840
Speaker 1: and it was right before Frank said, like is the

995
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 1: modulation of the song. When our video comes out, the

996
00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 1: extended video, you guys will be able to see that

997
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:14,320
Speaker 1: whole moment. And that was just the coolest thing ever.

998
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:16,959
Speaker 1: But walking down the aisle was definitely the biggest blur

999
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 1: of the night. People say, your wedding day is such

1000
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:22,320
Speaker 1: a blur, you know, try to be in the moment,

1001
00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:26,080
Speaker 1: but I truly, I really feel like I I lived

1002
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 1: in the moment a lot, and Jared and I got

1003
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:30,279
Speaker 1: more time together than I ever imagined. We didn't even

1004
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 1: have to take those five minute breaks to be together.

1005
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:37,120
Speaker 1: We really we sacrifice some conversation with some guests. You know,

1006
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:39,680
Speaker 1: we definitely said hi to everyone that we invited, and

1007
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:41,719
Speaker 1: we had like, you know, a thirty second banter. But

1008
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:44,360
Speaker 1: if a song came on that was like super meaningful

1009
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:46,440
Speaker 1: for me to dance with Jared, I was like, I'm

1010
00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:50,279
Speaker 1: so sorry I have to go um, but yeah, let

1011
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:53,200
Speaker 1: me go through the day and like in songs in music.

1012
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 1: So then during our reception, during the cocktail party, we

1013
00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:00,920
Speaker 1: had a local band called the Timeless Band. They're from Providence,

1014
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:04,600
Speaker 1: Rhode Island, and all the kids are or nineteen years

1015
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:07,759
Speaker 1: old and they play hits from the fifties to the

1016
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 1: eighties and they play um great. I forget the spot

1017
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:13,920
Speaker 1: in Providence, but it's like the row of all the

1018
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:17,800
Speaker 1: Italian restaurants, so during the summer they play out there

1019
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:20,319
Speaker 1: and it's just the cutest thing ever. And when we

1020
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 1: were first starting to a wedding plan last September, we

1021
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 1: were at a restaurant and they were playing and we're

1022
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:30,279
Speaker 1: with our wedding planner and he was like, Jared, go

1023
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:33,440
Speaker 1: dance with Ashley. So in Jared's head, Jared was like,

1024
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 1: the only song I'll get up to was Earth Angel,

1025
00:55:35,719 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 1: but he didn't say it that out loud to anyone,

1026
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:41,520
Speaker 1: not even Troy, and I'm not even kidding you. Twenty

1027
00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:44,480
Speaker 1: seconds later, they started to play earth Angel, which I

1028
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:46,839
Speaker 1: had never even heard before, and he was like, well,

1029
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:49,640
Speaker 1: that's the song. So we had to have them perform.

1030
00:55:49,719 --> 00:55:51,480
Speaker 1: I just want to show how like every little moment

1031
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:55,239
Speaker 1: was like so personalized and just described Jared and my

1032
00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:59,080
Speaker 1: story unbelievably, so we had them play. Unfortunately, like most

1033
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:01,920
Speaker 1: bride and grooms don't get to really experience the cocktail hour,

1034
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:03,920
Speaker 1: so we didn't even get to see them play, but

1035
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:08,239
Speaker 1: everybody thought they were the cutest fit for the venue. Ben,

1036
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:10,400
Speaker 1: did you get to see them play the Timeless Band?

1037
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:16,120
Speaker 1: I definitely did? You very great. I actually I went

1038
00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:17,920
Speaker 1: up to him and I said, you're like I did

1039
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:19,799
Speaker 1: in the Tailor Paste band and one of the best

1040
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:24,879
Speaker 1: wedding bands I've ever heard. That's so awesome. Thank you. Yeah,

1041
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:28,440
Speaker 1: they were awesome. Um. So then for our first dance

1042
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:32,400
Speaker 1: for um the mother daughter, the Mother Son Dance, the

1043
00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:37,839
Speaker 1: Dad and Daughter Dance, and um, just like the introduction

1044
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:40,839
Speaker 1: of the bridal party, we had David Cook perform, who

1045
00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:43,240
Speaker 1: was my favorite American idol? Did I mention this last week?

1046
00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:46,720
Speaker 1: So that was like really freaking cool. It was wacky,

1047
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:48,440
Speaker 1: but he was my favorite American idol, one of my

1048
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:50,840
Speaker 1: favorite musicians and one of like the only musicians that

1049
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:54,959
Speaker 1: I've really converted Jared to like loving as well. And

1050
00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:57,759
Speaker 1: we just when the idea popped in our head to

1051
00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:00,920
Speaker 1: possibly ask him to perform read our wedding, we were like,

1052
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:04,360
Speaker 1: could you imagine the warmth of his voice filling that venue?

1053
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:07,320
Speaker 1: And then once it was in our head, we couldn't

1054
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:11,960
Speaker 1: let it go. And we emailed his amazing tour manager

1055
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:14,160
Speaker 1: and he happened to be a Bachelor fan, so it

1056
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 1: worked out well for us. And then but he wasn't free. Okay,

1057
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:22,160
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that. I'm not saying it worked out

1058
00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:24,439
Speaker 1: well for us and it was free. It certainly wasn't.

1059
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:30,320
Speaker 1: And then after that we had the Oh my god,

1060
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:33,920
Speaker 1: we're so wacky. We had strings play. We had a

1061
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:38,480
Speaker 1: quartet of strings. It was piano too, violins and um

1062
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:46,960
Speaker 1: uh cello, and they played some of our favorite romantic

1063
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:50,840
Speaker 1: movie scores during dinner, like during um, you know, salad

1064
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 1: and stuff, and then we did some speeches and then

1065
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:59,720
Speaker 1: after that we had the band come on. And the

1066
00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:02,400
Speaker 1: band was a Jordan Cohen band and we hand selected
