22
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,399

00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: lot of love going aroundight now. Well, hey, speaking of love,

24

Speaker 1: also have Blake Hortzman, uh, coming on podcast later on

26
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 1: to talk about some stuff he's up to, what's going

27
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: on in his life. Blake's always been very vulnerable with

28
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: us and open with us about where he's at, kind

29
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: of what he's struggling with, but also what he's rejoicing in.

30
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: And so we're pumped to talk to him. But before

31
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: we do all of that, uh, let's take a break.

00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,880

60
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: Bachelor hot topics headlines, whatever you wanna call it doesn't

61
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: matter and here's the first Bachelor at producer pinpoints the

62
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: exact moment Claire Crawley had to be replaced. This according

63
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: to Vulture, so um Ben Wah actually kind of hinted

64
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: at this a couple of days ago when we did

65
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: his in depth Rob Mills. He is the ABC executive

66
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: in charge of If It's Not a scripted show, Rob

67
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: Mills has a large part in its production. Um, so

68
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: he said on Nick's podcast, Actually that, um, the moment

69
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: that she didn't Claire didn't give out a rose on

70
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: that group day and she gave it to herself. That

71
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: was the moment that they knew they had to start

72
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: thinking about or that was the moment that they kind

73
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: of made the call. They were like, Okay, we're probably

74
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: gonna need a call tation. Their connection, her and Dale's

75
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: connection was just like at that point too strong. She

76
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 1: couldn't fake it any longer. It couldn't suffice for the

77
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: rest of the season. I'd say I would love Ashley

78
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: to have been in the war room of the Bachelorette

79
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: producers as this was going down, Like how they're they're

80
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: brilliant at what they do. Uh. Obviously they've made twenty

81
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: years worth of television. But like, as this is playing out,

82
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: they're like, Okay, how do we make it a full season?

83
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: As we know how this like she's very obviously in

84
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: a Dale Dales into her this is over. These guys

85
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: are starting to realize it. Like for them to now

86
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: come up with, well, we're gonna bring in a brand

87
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: new Bachelor att that people are gonna be super pumped

88
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: about and we're gonna make this work like that is

89
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: some massive strategicy. Oh yeah, absolutely, And I think we

90
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: also should mention that Rob Mills said something also very interesting.

91
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: He says that Claire swears on her dad's grave that

92
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: she and Dale did not speak before the show. And

93
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 1: I completely believe her if she's swearing on her dad's grave.

94
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: And I also, you know, like that's intense, and I

95
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 1: think that she knows that she wouldn't have gotten in

96
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: that much trouble if she just admitted that they did, right,

97
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 1: like she Because how many couples talk before paradise and

98
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: then it's all dandy. I mean, you know, people can

99
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: say what they want about Claire. Obviously, you and I

100
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 1: uh like Claire. We think she's a great choice. For

101
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: Bachelor Atte we wanted mostly because we just want to

102
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 1: see her or find love. She found it. The one

103
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: thing nobody can like say about Claire in any type

104
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: of criticism is she's not honest, Like that girl is

105
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: to a fault, like blunt honest and like right to

106
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: your face. And so I wouldn't I have to trust

107
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: her because she's never shown signs of like not being truthful.

108
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 1: I mean even when people have tried to call out

109
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: for lying through this season, saying oh yeah, you went

110
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: to problem like that was a big deal or not,

111
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: like she still proved him wrong. So like Claire, I

112
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: believe her, not only because she you know, sworn her

113
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: dad's grave, which just makes me feel all sorts of

114
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 1: heavy um, but she's been honest. So next headline is

115
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: about Claire as well. Chris Harrison addresses if and this

116
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: has been a question for me, uh and it kind

117
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: of goes back off this topic. Chris Harrison addresses if

118
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: Claire Crawley was forced out of the Bachelorette. This according

119
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 1: to ET Okay, So I don't want to get this wrong,

120
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,559
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna read the direct quotes here. He said,

121
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 1: I would just say that she has complete control. Um.

122
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: He also said that he hasn't spoken to Claire for

123
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 1: a few weeks now. He said this season of The

124
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: Bachelorette was completely about Claire. It's all about Claire, which

125
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: sounds very reminiscent of what we heard him say a

126
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago where he said what it was

127
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: Claire season. He also says that Claire will decide where

128
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: we go from here, and it's totally completely up to her. No,

129
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: it sounds like that is referring to her in the

130
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: moment and not her now right, Yes, No, I mean

131
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: I don't think she's sitting behind the scenes pulling any

132
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: you know, anything here, Like she is definitely out of

133
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: it now, she's living her life. The show has already

134
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: been taped. I think in the moment is what he's

135
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: referring to. Actually, I'm still though confused, because now we

136
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: have like everything but a confirmation that Tassia steps in here. Like,

137
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: I don't know how it can be Claire season if

138
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: Tassia comes in at this point. I mean, maybe it's

139
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: like maybe it's fifty fifty, maybe it's reversed, but like

140
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: it's not season no, Okay, So I think Chris is

141
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: here trying to defend the show because I think there's

142
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: been so many conspiracy theories out this week that they

143
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: went into the taping of Claire's season with the thought that,

144
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: no matter what happens, we're going to bring in another bachelorette. Um.

145
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: Whether that's because they got flat when they announced Claire

146
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: back in March, or whether they thought it would be

147
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: an interesting spin, I don't know, but lots of people

148
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: have been saying, oh, Tassia was like in the wings

149
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: the entire time. Well, I can tell you Tasia was

150
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: not asked at all to step in until like three

151
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 1: four days whatever it took to quarantine her until she

152
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: started filming. You know, like the girl was notified. The

153
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: week she started filming was the week that she got

154
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: a call from them. Yeah, Like her Instagram post said,

155
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: you rang, Like I think that's true. They call She's

156
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: hanging out at home. She's probably like wuarantine in our couch,

157
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: eating some chips, and all of a sudden she gets

158
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: a called you you want to be the Bachelorette? And

159
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: she's like, well yeah, when uh like this next week? Yes,

160
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: I think like that's a big move for her, And

161
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: I mean The alternative is that, yeah, Tasia was called

162
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: months in advance and prep for this. I just don't

163
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: see the show doing that. Yeah, I don't see you

164
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: know that? Yeah, No, I know this. I know this. Okay,

165
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: So here's a here's a big moment, Ashley, Yeah, confirming

166
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: you are Ashley can Eddie is confirming that Tasha Adams

167
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: was not called previous to the season, that she was

168
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: called just days in advance of her starting the Bachelorette. Yes,

169
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: Now I should clarify that was she in talks to

170
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: be the Bachelorette seasons, you know, like back in the winter. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

171
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: in the winter. Was she in consideration before Hannah's season? Yeah?

172
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 1: But was she her thinking about being like a replacement

173
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: of fill in Bachelorette? Was she in the know about

174
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: this weeks before taking over? Absolutely not. And I think

175
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 1: that Chris goes ahead and explains this even more so

176
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,959
Speaker 1: when he says it was all about plan a, Um,

177
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: we said, what do we do with this season with Claire?

178
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: Where do we go with that? He said, it was

179
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: really about Claire and her decisions. It's her decisions that

180
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: you're going to see, so well, everything will be in

181
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: this upcoming episode. He said that they put it all

182
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: in her court, completely up to her, and he said,

183
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,719
Speaker 1: while I'm saying that, it really is something that you're

184
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: all gonna need to see this week, um, and we

185
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: want you to see so you can judge. But in

186
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 1: my humble opinion, he says, it really it's really her

187
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: call from where we go from here? So interesting. I mean,

188
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: this is this is gonna be a huge week. I

189
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,719
Speaker 1: think bachel Nation is tuning in. I think they've captivated

190
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: us all. I think it's just interesting, intriguing. I mean, yeah,

191
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: like Claire's love story, I don't know if it will

192
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: have the pinnacle kind of feeling that um, like a

193
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: full season would feel like like I think it might

194
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 1: just feel like, Okay, she fell in love, now she's out.

195
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: But like the way that I'm still intrigued is because

196
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: I want to see how this all goes down. And

197
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: this is the reference to the next hot topic which

198
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: Chris Harrison asks this question and we saw this in

199
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: a dramatic Bachelort sneak peak. The question he asked Claire

200
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: is did you lie to all of Bachelor Nation? This?

201
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: According to E News, what a statement? Did you lie

202
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: to all of Bachelor Nation. Okay, so this again is

203
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: referring to the speculation that she and Dale were in

204
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 1: communication before filming began, and we got her answer she

205
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: sare on her dad's grave. Um, but you know so

206
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: I think that's that's the question. He The question that

207
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,080
Speaker 1: everyone is going to be asking when they have of

208
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: this also teased sit down is did you guys talk beforehand?

209
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,199
Speaker 1: Because we've never seen a connection so strong and so

210
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: season altering this early on so on behalf of Bachelor Nation?

211
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: Where are you hiding something from us? Did you talk

212
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: to him? And she's gonna apparently say no. I mean

213
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: it is the question that we're all asking, and you

214
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: know Claire has come out and said no, I wasn't

215
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: I fell in love? Um. You know this is a

216
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: tough one to talk about, this next hot topic, because

217
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 1: it is when we speak about all the time on

218
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: this podcast. I mean, we are broken records when it

219
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 1: comes to um, how much we know our friends, how

220
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: much are we ourselves? Uh deal with criticism and how

221
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: hard it is and how much it makes this question?

222
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: Are just who we are and our worth? And you

223
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: know where we sit in this world? Uh? And it

224
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: doesn't get an easier. I feel like as time goes on,

225
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: people just get more and more blunt, they get more

226
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: and more mean, They say things on social media that

227
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: just aren't fair and not kind. And Claire's obviously sitting

228
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: in a place right now where there is criticism. She's

229
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: doing something unconventional when it comes to what we expect

230
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 1: out of the Bachelorette, and it's typically change is always

231
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: the thing that brings the most criticism when it comes

232
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: to this show, Like anything radical, new or change worthy

233
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 1: is always the thing that people criticize or talk about. Well,

234
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: this season is definitely that. It's been that since the

235
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: very beginning. Well, the headline reads, Claire Crawley is struggling

236
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: with Bachelorette criticism. Bachelor Nation bff Michelle Money, who we

237
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 1: have in the podcast a few weeks ago, reveals and

238
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: this according to US Weekly. Yeah, so she said that she,

239
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: you know, has been speaking to Claire throughout the weeks

240
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: and so that she is really struggling right now. She's

241
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: having a hard time. Um. But she says that like

242
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: all these people who are giving her hate, she just

243
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: wants them to heal. She wants to help them. She

244
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: hates that. Um, she just you know, wants to live

245
00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: everyone up. She hates being surrounded by negativity. She also

246
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: says that Claire spent an equal amount of time with

247
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: every single one of these guys. So what's frustrating is

248
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: that you don't get to see the whole story, Michelle says.

249
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: She says, but that's, you know, the price that you

250
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 1: pay for going on the show. The positives almost always

251
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: always outweigh the negatives. But that is something that like,

252
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: I think that it's important for Ben and I to

253
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: also bring up. It's like, I know, you guys have

254
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: heard us say this multiple times before, but you are

255
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: filming almost seven almost four seven, and of course it's

256
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: going to get crammed down into an hour and twenty minutes.

257
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, they're gonna show the parts with with Dale

258
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: because those are the most critical parts in her love story.

259
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: If the lead doesn't have a strong connection or nothing

260
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: really ends up happening with one of the guys, Like,

261
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: they're not going to show that, They're gonna show what

262
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: is most crucial to you understanding who they end up

263
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: with in the end, right, Yeah, definitely, I mean it's

264
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: the story that you said it perfectly. It's compressed and

265
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: so you want to show an accurate story. Uh, And

266
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: the story is that she fell in love with Dale.

267
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: Now the crazy part about this and which I wish

268
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: they wouldn't hide, And I kind of think that Claire

269
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: Shine hide is I felt like I think I fell

270
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: in love with this dude from like first glance, Like

271
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: from night one, he was like so far in my

272
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: head and so much in my heart that like I

273
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: couldn't function without talking to him, or I couldn't and

274
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: it just kept getting better and better and better. And yes,

275
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: like some of these guys didn't maybe get the chance

276
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: that others would on other seasons, but other seasons aren't

277
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: like this, Like not everybody falls in love so quickly,

278
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: or at least falls in like so quickly. Yeah, and

279
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: she could. I mean we see, we see in the

280
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: show that the guys are jealous of the time that

281
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: Dale has been getting. But let's just say that the

282
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: time that he's been getting compared to the other guys

283
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: is super marginal, Like he might be getting ten or

284
00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes extra, but she's still having sit down with

285
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: all these guys. She is, I mean, yes, for I

286
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: think we don't get to see him, but I'm imagining this,

287
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: and I have nothing to base this on Ashley. I'm

288
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: imagining this is how it plays out, is she's sitting

289
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: down with all these guys, but those conversations just aren't interesting,

290
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: Like she's she's so much into Dale that like there's

291
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: no chemistry between her and these other guys, so it's

292
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: not worth showing, or we'd just be watching two people

293
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: kind of sit there with like birds or crickets chirping

294
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: in the background, and they're just kind of like looking

295
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: at each other and things get awkward and then they leave.

296
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: I don't want to watch that. I don't I don't

297
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: know who does. And maybe be helpful if we saw

298
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: more of that, because we would get a better perspective

299
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: of her time spent. But you can only show that

300
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: so many times before it's just awkward and weird, and

301
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: actually I think would would make Claire look worse and

302
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: and so in a sense, they're kind of like protecting

303
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: her from that. I'm imagining by saying, hey, we're gonna

304
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: show her love story. Now. We don't know where her

305
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: love story really ends yet, but we are now assuming

306
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: that we have for months that Tasha Adams does come

307
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: in as the Bachelorette, and we see her revealed by

308
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: her getting out of a pool. Well, she's playing super

309
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: coy about this. In fact, the headline of this article

310
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: by People reads, Tasha Adams place coy about her steamy

311
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: Bachelor appearance. She has, I was just swimming around. Come on,

312
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: I just hear this coming out of Tasa's mouth, she

313
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 1: says on her podcast Clickbait with Joe and Hannah Ann.

314
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: She says, uh. She says, um, you know I would

315
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: just I love Palm Springs, I love Laquinta. I vacation there.

316
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: It's summer, it's hot. I was in a pool, just

317
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: like swimming around with imlay you're referring to. So she's like, because,

318
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: I guess, like the franchise itself has not declared her

319
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 1: the bachelorette yet, and all they've shown is her getting

320
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 1: out of a pool. She's also not confirming that she's

321
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: a bachelorette, so she's just there and like they somehow

322
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: caught her on film. If this is how this plays out,

323
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: like if Tatia actually isn't the Bachelor, I'm gonna be shocked,

324
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: like shocked. I I can't absolutely just blown away. That

325
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: would be the greatest spin of all time. That would

326
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 1: be the most shocking thing ever if like it is

327
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 1: all like a lie and she showed up to like

328
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: host a date. Yeah exactly, and then like Claire sticks

329
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 1: around and she ends up with some other dude in

330
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: the Yeah, well that would be wild. Um. Well, speaking

331
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:32,479
Speaker 1: of this, the Bachelorette host Chris Harrison did mention um

332
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,479
Speaker 1: why they waited to address Tasha Adams in the New

333
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: York Post article. Actually we wondered, you know, why are

334
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,239
Speaker 1: you staying so secret about this? Why are you not

335
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 1: confronting this? We all hear about it. What's going on? Well,

336
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: Chris addresses it. Yeah. He basically just said that there's

337
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: a method to their madness in waiting. And he said that,

338
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: you know, they wanted the focus to be on Claire.

339
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: This was, you know, supposed to be her season of

340
00:18:55,240 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: the Bachelorette, and that he was also very intimately involved

341
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: with the decision making to bring in atoms. And that

342
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 1: makes sense because Chris Harrison is an executive producer on

343
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,439
Speaker 1: the show. Is he not? He is he has been

344
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: a long time. Um, sad news, not like that, sad

345
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,719
Speaker 1: not But I love the tell all shows. I think

346
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: they're hilarious and I think they're always interesting to watch

347
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: the chemistry. Will uh just glance over this one. But

348
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: Chris Harrison did say that he cannot promise tell all

349
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,199
Speaker 1: this year obviously due to COVID and the restrictions, and

350
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 1: so we're kind of up in the air right now

351
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: if we'll ever see these guys back together in the

352
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: same room again, which is unfortunate. Yeah, if I imagine

353
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: if they do something along the lines that they'll have

354
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 1: like a couple of guys who are really crucial, maybe

355
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: like whoever was in the end the top five or six, right,

356
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 1: But like, we don't need any villains there. We only

357
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 1: bring up a villain storyline. We don't need Yosef back.

358
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: You know, we saw like Yosef kind of sucks. We

359
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: don't need any more confirmation. Yeah. In fact, this week,

360
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 1: Tyler See kind of came out and said, Hey, this

361
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: girl that's coming up with these videos that is posting

362
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: on TikTok that we talked about last week, Like, that's

363
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 1: not even the girl I was talking about. And so

364
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: one of our listeners rode in and said, wait, does

365
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 1: that mean there is more than one? I don't know.

366
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: I don't think we can confirm or deny, but Tyler

367
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 1: C did come out and say the guy that that

368
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: is not the girl that I was referring to on

369
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: night one. Yeah, so basically Joseph was messing around with

370
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: a lot of girls and what Tyler You know, Tyler

371
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: C may have been eliminated for very poor reasoning. Yeah,

372
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think he was her number one

373
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: choice either way, it probably wasn't gonna happen. But like

374
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: live been around a little bit longer. Well, bouncing from

375
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,640
Speaker 1: Claire to the current Bachelor's season that's filming right now.

376
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: The Bachelor's Matt James uh Robert Mills sat down with

377
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: Nick Vile on The Vile Files and said that something

378
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,679
Speaker 1: really crazy went down on White on Night one with

379
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 1: Matt James. All we have to elaborate on here is

380
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: that he says something happens on that one that that

381
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: I've never seen before. Maybe it's because of Matt's naivete,

382
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: you know, like he's ever been through this. Um. He

383
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 1: also says it's not what you think, though I don't

384
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 1: know what we're thinking, So that doesn't eliminate much to me,

385
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 1: But he says it's really crazy and he can confidently

386
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: say that Matt will be the only bachelor this season.

387
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,479
Speaker 1: It's uh, it's probably a good thing. I don't think

388
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: we can take too many flips, flips and flops. Uh

389
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: this year. It's already crazy enough. Well. Our last headline

390
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 1: is one of Hannah Brown. Hannah Brown sat down with

391
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: Caitlin Bristow on Off the Vine and she says she

392
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 1: was broken after the Bachelorette and Dancing with the Stars.

393
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 1: Uh this according to US Weekly. Yeah, so I also

394
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: don't want to like make up what she's you know,

395
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: summarize what she said, So I'm gonna read the quotes

396
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: directly here. She said, I had to look within think

397
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: what just happened? What has the past year and a

398
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: half been? Like? Who even were you before that? And

399
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: have you lost the girl? Or is that girl the

400
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: same or just different? Or am I just somebody that

401
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: I didn't even recognize. She said that there was a

402
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 1: lot of things that she didn't like about herself anymore.

403
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 1: And she said that a lot of it has to

404
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: do with just like being filmed twenty four hours a day. Um,

405
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: but it's only on for less than two hours a

406
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 1: week when you take away the commercials, and she said,

407
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: that's all people get to see, so you know that

408
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 1: that shows just like one side of her, And she

409
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: says that she started her YouTube channels so that fans

410
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 1: can see a different side of her. And both Caitlin

411
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: and Hannah agreed that filming The Bachelor was way more

412
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: fun than filming The Bachelorette, which I think that if

413
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 1: you go back and ask, like a lot of leads

414
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 1: or or even people like me who were on multiple seasons,

415
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: like when it comes to fun, the first season seems

416
00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 1: to be always the most fun. Maybe not the most growing,

417
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: maybe not like the season you got the most out of,

418
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 1: but definitely just the most easy, breezy. I I appreciate

419
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: that Hannah was honest here and open. I think one

420
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: of the things that happens when you get off a show,

421
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 1: and for anybody out there listening to this, like whenever

422
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 1: you have kind of your your high points in life,

423
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: like the things that really excite you are different, or

424
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: you know, if it's a promotion at work, or if

425
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 1: you get engaged, or if you meet the love of

426
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: your life, or if you buy your first home or

427
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: any of those big like life moments. Um a kid,

428
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: having a kid, like there's a letdown and and I

429
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: think for anybody goes on the show, it is a high,

430
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: like you have cameras around, people treat you like you're

431
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: somebody for a period of time and like you feel special.

432
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 1: And I know for me, like I struggled with that,

433
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: Like as hard as you want to fight, hey, I

434
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: don't want this to become my reality. I don't want

435
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: to get used to this because I know it's ending.

436
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: It's really hard when you live in it for so long,

437
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: and the longer you're in it, the more comfortable you

438
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 1: get in it, and the more you expect to continue.

439
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 1: And there is a letdown then from that whenever that ends,

440
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: because it ends for everybody no matter you know, if

441
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 1: you're an actor or an actress or if you're a

442
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: CEO of a company or whatever, Like when you have

443
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: a lot of attention on you, at some point in

444
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: your life, that ends. And when it does, it is uncomfortable,

445
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: it hurts, it feels weird. Um, I have had that

446
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 1: happen to me. Uh And and I know many people

447
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: that we know how to happen to them, And so

448
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: I like that she's honest about it, because one of

449
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: the worst. One of the things that frustrates me the most, Ashley,

450
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 1: about myself and then as a result, probably about others,

451
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 1: is when there's like this expectation that this will continue

452
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 1: forever um and you try to do whatever it takes

453
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: to make it continue forever, because then you do, like

454
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 1: Hannah said, and you lose yourself, You stop being yourself,

455
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 1: and you start being whatever anybody wants you to be.

456
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 1: And then years after that you're going I I lost

457
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 1: myself in the midst of this. It's it's why a

458
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: little side tangent here before we bring on some guests.

459
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,719
Speaker 1: But I have something I want to admit to you,

460
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: m h I cried recently, Okay, and it's gonna be

461
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: over something that you're going to be shocked by. Okay,

462
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: here's what I got tear added over justin Bieber's Lonely song.

463
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: I watched you talked about this a couple of weeks.

464
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: I just was that off air? Was that that was

465
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 1: on air? Was it on air? Well? Anyways, I it's

466
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 1: still on my head, like that song still like gets me,

467
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: and I don't know why. Like I'm not a Bieber fan.

468
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 1: I don't dislike the guy but watching his music video,

469
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: and I think it's worth mentioning twice now in a podcast.

470
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: Is you just get a perspective of this like kid

471
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 1: who has so many expectations placed on him, so many

472
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 1: things expected of him, and he feels so lonely in

473
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 1: the midst and I and I wonder, actually, how many

474
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: people out there listening to this for whatever their life

475
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: is involving right now, and COVID is obviously one of them,

476
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: Like how many people feel super lonely, um, and they

477
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: don't know how to get out of it? Well, I

478
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: know that you really relate on that topic. And now

479
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 1: I have to admit I haven't seen this video and

480
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 1: I'm going to have to. I cannot believe you haven't

481
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: seen it, Ashley. This is crazy. Um, I've watched the

482
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 1: Justin Bieber music video and you haven't. This is now.

483
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 1: This is another high in my life and I'll have

484
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: to come that off of this. I've got something on Ashley. Hey,

485
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: ash let's move on now. We got a couple of

486
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: guests coming up on the podcast. We're super excited to

487
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,439
Speaker 1: talk to. Uh Blake Hortsman is gonna be on breaking

488
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: down his life. Well, he's up to it today and

489
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 1: uh and obviously uh, Diana will come on as well. Okay, guys,

490
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: we have Blake on the line. Blake, I'm starting out

491
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: with a very ashley question. So we didn't in depth

492
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 1: with Jason a couple of weeks ago, and I said, well,

493
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: now that that Garrett and Becca are no longer together,

494
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: who from the franchise can you see Becca getting with now?

495
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 1: And he immediately said, Blake and you guys are going

496
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: to rekindle the romance. Ben, it's got his hand on

497
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 1: his face right now. Have you spoken to Becca since

498
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 1: the split? Actually did listen to that podcast with Jason.

499
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 1: I was like, Jason, U s O B. I was like,

500
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 1: way to put that out there. No, Yeah, we've chatted

501
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: a little bit. I mean, you know, I told her

502
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 1: I support her, and you know, I hope she I

503
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,199
Speaker 1: hope she's doing well and everything. But it's it's just

504
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: a friendship. We have a good relationship I think for

505
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: the most part. I mean we've been friendly the whole

506
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 1: time since even the finale, you know, so there's never

507
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,719
Speaker 1: been any kind of weirdness between uns or anything like that.

508
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: So this has actually been placed in hot topics, but

509
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: it seems as if Garrett has a new girlfriend. He

510
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 1: posted a picture of a girl yesterday on his Instagram

511
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: and he said like something about a cute pumpkin at

512
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: a pumpkin patch. Have you talked to him about this

513
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: new relationship? Uh? Yeah, I did see that picture. Uh No,

514
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 1: I haven't chatted with him about the relationship anything. We

515
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 1: haven't chatted in a bit. But I mean, you know,

516
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: I think everybody deserves, you know, happiness, so I hope

517
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: this one sticks for him. I guess know. We asked

518
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: this question all the time on the podcast. Maybe you

519
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: can answer it for us. Nobody ever has been able

520
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 1: to how how how soon is too soon to move on? Okay,

521
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: thank you. I'm glad that you asked that because that

522
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,439
Speaker 1: is such a good question. Um. Yeah, I don't have

523
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: any answer to that. But I always think, you know,

524
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: in these public relationships, like were they broken up for

525
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 1: a while before they actually said it in public? Like

526
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: we don't know the time. I don't think anybody really

527
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 1: knows the time except for them probably, Um, but I

528
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: don't know that. I mean, some people move on quicker

529
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: than others. Some people hold onto things that aren't there sometimes,

530
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: so I think it really is already answer to that.

531
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 1: I have to say that, like putting myself in Chris

532
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: randone shoes and now Becca's shoes, both of those relationships

533
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: being public on it's like the new relationships being public

534
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: on Instagram so fast, Like it kind of makes me

535
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: feel like my thoughts immediately go to the X and

536
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: I'm just like, it feels too soon for me to

537
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 1: be watching this on Instagram. I can't imagine we're they're

538
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: at we root for the underdog. Yeah, I mean it

539
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: is hard, and I Chris. I don't know how long

540
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: Chris and Crystal because again, who knows, you know when

541
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: they actually like, yeah, like they a little different. There's

542
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: more months there for sure, Yeah, for sure. But I

543
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 1: do agree like going public with it, I mean that

544
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: that is a lot sometimes going public with it pretty

545
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: soon after um, But I don't know, Like I said,

546
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 1: everybody has their own timeline, and everybody if they feel

547
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: comfortable enough and they've moved past it, they moved on,

548
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: then why he did? I guess too, unless you're thinking

549
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: of the other person. I don't know. It's it's hard

550
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: because you try and like there's so many people involved,

551
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: and you know, so many variables involved. In that situation

552
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 1: that it's hard to know which what is right and

553
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: what is wrong. Yeah, well, hey, best luck to Ben.

554
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: What do you think do you think that is? Do

555
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: you think it was too fast? I don't know. I

556
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: mean I've been in this right, like I've been in

557
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: a public relationship and somebody moved on, and I don't

558
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: think I can even speak to the timeline. I just

559
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: know it hurts no matter what, Like I don't know,

560
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: and it might hurt both people, like it might feel weird,

561
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: not at first, but like I just know it hurts

562
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: and it's But I also think this it's the moment

563
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: that healing can start, because until then you're kind of

564
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: like this, like questioning what you know, is this something

565
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: that we should hold on to and we're ever going

566
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: to get back together? Hey I missed them or whatever?

567
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: And then once it like finally like you see them

568
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: like holding somebody else, the crescendo. Yeah. I think it's

569
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: like your you hit rock bottom and that can last

570
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: as long as you want, and then you can start

571
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: to heal. But again, like we're not getting any younger,

572
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: nobody is ever um and so if you find somebody

573
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 1: that you're into and that you want to build a

574
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: life like a relationship with I don't know if there

575
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 1: is that timeline. It could happen the next day, it

576
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: could happen a couple of months. Um, never easy at all,

577
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: Like really, really I had I had a relationship the

578
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: one right before I went on the show actually and

579
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 1: broke up, broke my heart and then within like two

580
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 1: weeks had another boyfriend and that hurt. And I didn't

581
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: even do that in public high Like I can't imagine

582
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,080
Speaker 1: doing like what you did, Ben and what beggars to

583
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: about what's beck is going through right now, Like in

584
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 1: the public eye, that would be would be another level.

585
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: It's rough. Um, Okay, So we've talked about Becca uh

586
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,479
Speaker 1: Blake Uh. You and I get to see each other

587
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: quite a bit. We both live in Denver, we both

588
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: work out at F forty five here in Denver. Um.

589
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: I was just there before I got on the podcast. Today,

590
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: I'm feeling like the best ship in my life. I mean,

591
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: I'm I'm telling you and here's my problem though, I

592
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: stand next to you in there and we do box

593
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 1: jumps and you move the box jump like over to

594
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: the highest level and I'm still on the lowest level.

595
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: And you're hopping up there. Um, so I stopped working

596
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: out the same time you did. I'd say I haven't

597
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: seen you in a while, but um, but that's not

598
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: what I want to talk to you about. Blake. You're

599
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: up to some stuff right now. Obviously, Covid kind of

600
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 1: shut down, um, your world in many ways. You were,

601
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 1: you were traveling, you're a d J, you had some

602
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 1: gigs lined up. Covid stops that, but you've rolled into

603
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 1: this role of podcast host. Uh, tell us about it? Yeah,

604
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean Covid definitely put a damper on

605
00:31:58,280 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: kind of what my year was gonna look like. I

606
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: had a lot of things set up as far as

607
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: like DJ sets had a residency in Atlantic City and

608
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: one in Vegas, and those obviously fell through. So um,

609
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: we had planned kind of to start this podcast about

610
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: the Grizzly Roads, which is I mean, you've been been

611
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 1: a couple of times. I'm sure yeah you have. I

612
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: know I've been there with you. But um, it's a

613
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: local like honky Tonk kind of concert venue here in Denver,

614
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: and we wanted to name it behind the Roads It's

615
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: called the Grizzly Roads, but then also have a play

616
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 1: on you know, reality television, Bachelor, all those kinds of things.

617
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: And so we've been we're about gosh, close to two

618
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: months in right now, and it's fantastic. I love it.

619
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: I feel like every time interview somebody on that podcast,

620
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: I learned something new which I didn't expect, you know,

621
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: as the interviewer. You know. So it's been fun, it's

622
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: been great. We've had a lot of Bachard people on,

623
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: a lot of musicians, um coaching musicians, and it's kind

624
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: of basically what we say is it's country music meets

625
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: pop culture is basically what this podcast is and do

626
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 1: with my buddy Eric Bradley and producer Eddie Haskell, and

627
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 1: we're killing. I love it. It's a it's a good time.

628
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: It's something to do during quarantine, which is fantastic. It's

629
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: nice to find that they definitely is so okay. It's

630
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: so it's what country music meets pop culture? What is

631
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,959
Speaker 1: some what is it? What's the topic in their headline

632
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: that you can use as an example? I mean so,

633
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: I mean I think we all know this target audience wise,

634
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: the same people that watched the Bashlard usually our country

635
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: music fans. It's just like insane, like you guys not

636
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: not to say we're not often bombarded by fans when

637
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: we go to the mall. I you know, it's like

638
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: it can we can go months without being recognized sometimes,

639
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: but you go to a country concert and all of

640
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: a sudden, you might be as popular as Keith Urban. Seriously,

641
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: I remember I'd say that with all humbleness, right right right,

642
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: but yeah, more people like yeah, we'll come up to

643
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: you and ask her picture. They would like, yeah, the artist.

644
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: You know, it's pretty crazy. So we knew that was

645
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: a thing, and so we kind of wanted to blend

646
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 1: because a lot of these country music artists also watched

647
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: the show, so it's kind of a cool thing. Like

648
00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: we just had Carlie Pierson and she's a huge fan

649
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 1: of so she want to reek beyond one of our

650
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: recap episodes, Um, I mean Dan and Shay. Like Dan

651
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: called me during Paradise to check in on me. He

652
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: was like, are you doing Yeah, So it's just cool

653
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: to to know that there's that, you know, cross the

654
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: audience really crosses. And I enjoy the podcast a lot

655
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:20,240
Speaker 1: because I obviously it's become pretty big advocate with mental

656
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,399
Speaker 1: health and so we talked about that a lot, whether

657
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: it be with people have been on the show or musicians,

658
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: and the pressure and stresses of life on the road,

659
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 1: of living in the public eye, of relationships in the

660
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 1: public eye, whether it be breaking up or getting together. Um,

661
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: so I'm really enjoying that and seeing how everybody kind

662
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,800
Speaker 1: of gets through those those you know, ups and downs

663
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,360
Speaker 1: and the rock bottom and everything. So that's been an

664
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 1: eye opened it for me to see just how many

665
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 1: people have hit rock bottom and how they've gotten through it.

666
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: So that's been pretty exciting for me. One of our

667
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: hot topics was that Michelle Money says that Claire's of course,

668
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 1: I had to say, of course, because she's gotten so

669
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 1: much flak, like, you know, having a hard time. You know,

670
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 1: she's everybody's desizing her, and well, I think she's doing

671
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: a fantastic job. But what would your what would your

672
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: advice be for her right now? And like, how do

673
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 1: you feel like she's handled being in the later all? Yeah,

674
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 1: I mean she's getting so much. We're three episodes in

675
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,919
Speaker 1: the amount of criticism she's gotten. I can't believe. It's

676
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: it's absolutely insane, um and just how nazy it's I

677
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 1: understand criticism, but she's getting different kind of criticism. I

678
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 1: never really even Pete, like Pete had a rep season,

679
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 1: and I don't feel like he even got it this

680
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,320
Speaker 1: bad for the whole season. Um she's making like listen.

681
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I think she hasn't done herself any favors,

682
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: you know, with the way the show has been you know,

683
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: been showed. But the editing hasn't helped a lot. I mean,

684
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: I can't remember what I was talking to reason, It

685
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:45,320
Speaker 1: was just Tia on our Potter Canda with somebody, but

686
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: they basically said, like, obviously they're gonna push this Dale

687
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 1: and Claire's story a lot, because what if they didn't

688
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 1: show their connection, didn't show how much she was into him,

689
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden she runs off with

690
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 1: that'd be so awkward for us as a naughty like

691
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 1: what the hell just happened? So they're gonna play this up.

692
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: They're gonna play up Dale and Claire and her only

693
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: being in him because they have too. Otherwise we'd be

694
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 1: so confused when she ran off with him, you know.

695
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: So in that sense, I get the edit and the

696
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:10,439
Speaker 1: kind of a narrative that they're doing, so I don't

697
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 1: I don't. It's been rough for her. And I did

698
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: reach out to her and you know, and I said,

699
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 1: keep your head up, you know, and she I think

700
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: she just gotta keep She's gonna stay on social media

701
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 1: first of all, say social media, um, and just keep

702
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 1: those you know close to her, her family, her friends

703
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 1: close and um gosh, take time for herself because right now,

704
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 1: if I was her, I can't imagine like going through Twitter,

705
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 1: you know, especially on like the actual nights of the show.

706
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: And just stay on social media and hopefully, you know,

707
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 1: keep those the good ones close to you. That's what

708
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,760
Speaker 1: I told her. You get so excited for these airrings,

709
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: like I I know, I remember any episode on mo on,

710
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: Like I get so excited, so like anxious and nervous.

711
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 1: Still if there's even like a small commercial amount or something,

712
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: it just happens, like it's just part of the euphoria

713
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 1: of it all. And the letdown, I mean, I feel

714
00:36:57,719 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 1: for her because like the letdown had to be like drafted,

715
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 1: like you said, it's not She's excited, she's pumped, she's

716
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 1: talking about how excited and then like the criticism has

717
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:11,840
Speaker 1: been a ton and I mean it's not fair. I

718
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,479
Speaker 1: don't think because, like you said, like that's a perfect point,

719
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 1: Like if she runs off with Dale in week four,

720
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: we need to know that her and Dale were really

721
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: into each other, and like aren't we watching this show

722
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 1: still to like see people fall in love, Like isnt

723
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: that not? I mean, yes, we want to see the drama.

724
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 1: That's hilarious. We want to have our wine and like,

725
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 1: laugh at the character is great, laugh at us all

726
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: you want, But ultimately, if you find a love story,

727
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 1: it's something to celebrate. And if we've lost that, we've

728
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: lost the show. And like she found love, we need

729
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: to celebrate it. I completely agree. And I think that,

730
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: like you said, that's got to be hard for clear

731
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:48,359
Speaker 1: right now because I've been going to this season after

732
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:49,799
Speaker 1: it already filmed that she had left to know when

733
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 1: she seems I'm sure she's happy and everything. It seems

734
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 1: like she's probably so excited to watch her love story unfold,

735
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 1: and now she's going to what she's going through right now,

736
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 1: and nobody even cares now that they're in love and

737
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 1: that they're love stories. You know, how into her or

738
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 1: how into her he is, and how into him she is,

739
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 1: So I don't know, it's it's hard because for some reason,

740
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 1: she's getting this villainettit falling in love too great. People

741
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 1: are just like not having enough empathy for her in

742
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 1: my opinion, just like put yourself in her shoes and

743
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: tell me you do anything differently. Yeah. Well, and then

744
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 1: there's there's there's always criticism of a leading like Ben,

745
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 1: you fell in love with two people? What? But then

746
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 1: Claire decides who she wants falls in love and now

747
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 1: she's getting criticism for that. We can't I tell you

748
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 1: what though. One of my takes and one of the

749
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,399
Speaker 1: things that encourages me before we let you go here, Blake,

750
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:43,800
Speaker 1: is uh. It seems like in in most recent memory,

751
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:48,919
Speaker 1: the couples who have gone through the most criticism during

752
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 1: the season have made it. And I mentioned like Ari

753
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 1: and Lauren, like that was not an easy season to

754
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,359
Speaker 1: go to Ferrari, they made it. They made it through,

755
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 1: right Peter and Kelly like, yes, not didn't really work

756
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 1: out on the show, but like he was criticized for

757
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 1: that move. Everybody was against it, and then now look

758
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 1: everybody's celebrating it. So I mean, I think like when

759
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:11,399
Speaker 1: it comes to this season, it's a make or break,

760
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: like either you get really close as a couple and

761
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 1: you say, hey, I'm in it. I love you, and like,

762
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 1: I know this is hard, but I'm gonna sit by

763
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 1: you and we're gonna get through this together or it

764
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 1: breaks you, which I don't know it's a bad thing

765
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 1: because ultimately, you know that's not your partner. You know

766
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 1: it's not the person is gonna be with you through

767
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 1: thick and thin. So you know that's why I love

768
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:30,720
Speaker 1: Ari and Lawrence. I look at them like that cannot

769
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 1: have been easy. But now you have a kid and

770
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: you're happy and uh, and so we'll see. Yeah, I

771
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 1: just hope she's good. I agree with you. I think

772
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 1: sometimes if you can make it through these rough waters,

773
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 1: and honestly, in Paradise you see it too because somebody

774
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 1: who come down the stairs, I'll go on a date.

775
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,800
Speaker 1: But if they can get through it, they finished Paradise

776
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 1: together a lot of times, you know, it works out,

777
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 1: and so I think you just have each other to

778
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: lean on and it bonds you that much more. So. UM,

779
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: I hope they can make it through this, and I

780
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,359
Speaker 1: think they will. Um, but yeah, we'll see. I guess

781
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:00,839
Speaker 1: I can't wait for that reunion. Can't for the reason, Hey,

782
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see like how they leave the show.

783
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: We're going to his room and being like, hey, Um,

784
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 1: I'd like to get out of here, you want to

785
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 1: come with me? We're so good? All right, thank you

786
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:18,359
Speaker 1: so much. Yeah, Blake again once again, I just want

787
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 1: to mention before we let you go here. Uh it

788
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:24,839
Speaker 1: is behind the Rose Uh podcast. Blake Hurtzman and Eric

789
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 1: Bradley host it. UM Blake, best of luck man, thanks

790
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,839
Speaker 1: for coming on, um, and we'll watch your love story

791
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 1: unfolding with whoever that may be. Maybe eventually it's something everybody.

792
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 1: Thanks by Hey, just a warning for me to be

793
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 1: out there listening right now. In a second, we're going

794
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 1: to speak with Diana and there it's a great conversation,

795
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 1: one that actually I really enjoyed having, and there's a

796
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 1: lot of insight into what it was like behind quarantine

797
00:40:57,719 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 1: and was like for Dinna to be on the show,

798
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:01,240
Speaker 1: and what happened with that date and why it never happened.

799
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 1: But there's also a moment where there is a little

800
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 1: bit of a spoiler. I'll call it a little bit

801
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 1: of a spoiler because it does talk about Claire in

802
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 1: Dale Um and if they're together or if they aren't together. Today.

803
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 1: Um So, just if you don't want to hear that,

804
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 1: go ahead and fast forward through that piece. But if

805
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:17,840
Speaker 1: you do want to hear it, it doesn't give too

806
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 1: much away. It's not gonna ruin anything, I don't think, um,

807
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 1: but it is worth us mentioning that. Hey, if you

808
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 1: don't want to know anything, skip through it, alright. So

809
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 1: from one person who's just been viewing the show to

810
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 1: one person that has been there confirmed, who has seen

811
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 1: Claire in love with Dale and having to navigate data

812
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: different men, let's get Dianna on the phone. Didn't get

813
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 1: to see enough, Diana, that's my that's my take. Too quick,

814
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:52,439
Speaker 1: too soon, that poor girl quarantine for four or five

815
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,800
Speaker 1: days for like a thirty minute sit down conversation with

816
00:41:55,880 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 1: Claire and went back, Oh, like this isn't fair. Okay, So, Dianna,

817
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 1: you were there for date. Claire tells you, I can't

818
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 1: wait to see these guys. I can't wait for you

819
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,799
Speaker 1: to meet these guys and get your feedback on them.

820
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 1: And then the day never happened. Did you ever get

821
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 1: to meet these men? Um? I did not get to

822
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 1: meet any of the guys because of the date and

823
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 1: the fact that we didn't do it, and we only

824
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 1: filmed a girl chat. I did not get to meet

825
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 1: any of the guys, um, so I only got to

826
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 1: hear about them. And of course you guys saw in

827
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 1: the episode it looks like Claire only talks about Dale,

828
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 1: but I legit heard about a lot of guys and

829
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:36,399
Speaker 1: heard about her experience. We did not just talk about Dale.

830
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 1: The uh my take from this whole episode was that

831
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 1: we didn't get to see enough of you, Like we

832
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 1: were all pumped to watch you host this day and

833
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:45,839
Speaker 1: meet these guys, and it just kind of ended. Can

834
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 1: you give us a little backstory to your Like, I'm

835
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 1: imagining what was like a four day quarantine locked in

836
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:54,359
Speaker 1: a hotel room to have like a what thirty minute

837
00:42:54,360 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 1: conversation where you disappointed? Where you sad? Ben? Really, I

838
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 1: was like the best mom living my COVID dreams in

839
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 1: Palm Springs, except for it was like a hundred and

840
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,320
Speaker 1: twenty degrees every single day, so that was the only downfall.

841
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:13,359
Speaker 1: But I got to stay in a hotel and get

842
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 1: a full night's sleep and being to watch TV in

843
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,359
Speaker 1: order room service and drink wine for five days straight.

844
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I really think that I'm the one winning here. Yeah,

845
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 1: it was really great, but um, I did have to

846
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 1: have three COVID tests, and since they had to have

847
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 1: three negative ones before I could even see anybody or

848
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 1: walk onto set. And since they were one of the

849
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 1: first shows that went back into production, they were not

850
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:40,280
Speaker 1: messing around. They were not like like taking any chances.

851
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 1: And the doctor that they have on set was really serious.

852
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,839
Speaker 1: I she I am pretty sure like scraped as far

853
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 1: back in my neighbor haze of cavities as she possibly could.

854
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:53,719
Speaker 1: I remember my nose was bleeding for like days. I

855
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 1: was so like just like rocked from the first nasal

856
00:43:57,640 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 1: swab that when she came back the next day, I

857
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 1: was like crying. I was like, please don't do that again.

858
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 1: Yeah there, okay, so you don't get to meet the guys.

859
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 1: Claire cancels the date or the day portion of the date.

860
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 1: My theory on this is that it was it supposed

861
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,399
Speaker 1: to be an outdoor date and it was too hot,

862
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 1: and so she like was forced to cancel it. Am

863
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 1: I right? I like the way you're thinking, because my

864
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 1: hair and my makeup looked really good. You know. I

865
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 1: was all about Gina doing whatever she needed because it

866
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 1: was so great to just have someone do my hair

867
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 1: and makeup. But no, it was going to be inside

868
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:38,480
Speaker 1: and there was gonna be plenty of air conditioning. Um.

869
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 1: But in Claire's defense, it was a date that she

870
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 1: did not want to do because they had just done

871
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 1: the strip Dodgeball date. And she came to me and

872
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 1: she was like, honestly, I put these guys through this

873
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 1: crazy date the other day and they were really good

874
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 1: sports about it. But like the date that we were

875
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 1: going to do was kind of like a game show

876
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:55,800
Speaker 1: and we were going to quiz them on like Women's

877
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:58,279
Speaker 1: Anatomy and stuff like that. And you know what, she

878
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:00,359
Speaker 1: was like, I really don't need to have these guys

879
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:03,399
Speaker 1: discussing like a vagina or tampons, Like I just really

880
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:05,759
Speaker 1: want to get to know them and have real conversations,

881
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 1: So I just don't want to do this. And I

882
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 1: was like, totally fine, totally fine. I'm already thinking about

883
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 1: what I'm ordering for dinner. I really like your attitude. This,

884
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,400
Speaker 1: You're actually like, this is so spot on because anybody

885
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 1: I talked to you they have been in quarantine or

886
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 1: have gone on the show. Like most people love it

887
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 1: because it's like it's four days forced of just doing nothing,

888
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 1: like you cannot do anything, and I can't imagine as

889
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 1: a mom, just how like awesome that was. Well, I'll

890
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 1: tell you what, Ben, I got to shower today alone

891
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:36,799
Speaker 1: and wash my hair and that's as far as I got.

892
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 1: And I'm doing well. I'm doing Diana, you kind of

893
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 1: have like an undercover bachelor love story. So you were

894
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 1: the bachelorrette in two thousand and eight, right, she doesn't it. Yeah,

895
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 1: it's a really long time ago. It was a very

896
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 1: long time ago. You end up with, you know, an

897
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:58,719
Speaker 1: engagement at the end, but you you didn't end up

898
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:01,360
Speaker 1: with that bachelor related person. Can you let the audience

899
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 1: know how you met your husband one of the Stagliano twins.

900
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:07,760
Speaker 1: I think we should. We should all be really thankful

901
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 1: I didn't end up with that guy, Like we should

902
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 1: all be very joyful and celebrating that because that was

903
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:16,800
Speaker 1: a mess. It was a time in my life that

904
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 1: I would love to forget. So anyway, unfortunately it's on TV,

905
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 1: so you're not forgetting it. Michael Stagliano was on Jillian

906
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:28,839
Speaker 1: Harris's season of the Bachelorette, and that was the first

907
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 1: full season that I had ever watched, and I was

908
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 1: super excited to meet Michael, like in a weird way.

909
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:35,759
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh my god, he's so cute. His

910
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:38,239
Speaker 1: family is so great. I want to hang out with

911
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 1: all them and like go to their house for Christmas.

912
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:43,360
Speaker 1: And then within like two seconds of meeting Michael, I

913
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:46,399
Speaker 1: was like, oh, yeah, no, this is never gonna work.

914
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 1: But do you have like a brother littok similar, a

915
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 1: little bit hotter, a little bit more good looking, Like

916
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 1: can I just have him instead? And yeah, Michael and

917
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:57,239
Speaker 1: I became friends and he ended up dating a friend

918
00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 1: of mine and they introduced me to Stephen. And then

919
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 1: six weeks later I was like, I love him, money

920
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 1: to be with him forever. I was still in bachelor time,

921
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:08,440
Speaker 1: I think, which is weird? That is awesome? Is it?

922
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 1: Is it weird now to know that you were attracted

923
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 1: to his brother first? Yes, because I also know Michael

924
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 1: so well. Now we're not looking at him like I

925
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 1: can't believe I ever thought that he was like the

926
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 1: one for a minute. It lasted for just like one minute,

927
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:27,399
Speaker 1: literally one minute, but Michael had the exact same feeling.

928
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 1: As soon as we met each other in person, we

929
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 1: were literally like oh yeah, no, no, hard pass hard pass. Well,

930
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:37,360
Speaker 1: that's great. See, you wouldn't be married and have the

931
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 1: kids that you do today if it weren't for you

932
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 1: being the bachelorette. I know, I know. So I always

933
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:46,279
Speaker 1: joke and say that the outcome of my season it

934
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:48,399
Speaker 1: really was like a difficult time. And I think God

935
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 1: that back then, you know us Weekly was not like

936
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:54,439
Speaker 1: hanging out in the backwoods of noon and Georgia, because

937
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:56,399
Speaker 1: I really could live off the grid after the show.

938
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:59,319
Speaker 1: And I always felt bad for you know, contestants, people

939
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 1: who are on the show now because it is not

940
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:02,839
Speaker 1: the same, you know, like you guys are really put

941
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 1: through the ringer and the tabloids and with social media

942
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 1: and everything else. I didn't have to go through that,

943
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:09,240
Speaker 1: So I was able to go through this really nasty

944
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 1: breakup somewhat privately other than that privateby YouTube video that's

945
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:16,279
Speaker 1: still out there, But other than that, I was able

946
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:19,320
Speaker 1: to do this like alone and in the privacy of

947
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:22,279
Speaker 1: my own home. So um, I'm thankful for that piece.

948
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 1: Now you are friends with Claire, So how is she

949
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:29,480
Speaker 1: doing today? Oh my gosh. Uh. Actually we sent her

950
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 1: some flowers today because poor Claire Man, she has been

951
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:37,279
Speaker 1: put through the ringer and I think anybody who's been

952
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:39,560
Speaker 1: on the show and the two of you can relate

953
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 1: to this that it is hard and and she's just

954
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 1: been put through the ringer, and the things that people

955
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 1: are saying about her and about her life and stuff

956
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:50,840
Speaker 1: online like can just be really hurtful. And um, so

957
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 1: I just felt bad for her because I feel like

958
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:55,239
Speaker 1: in a period of time where this should be really

959
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 1: joyful for her and this should be a really great

960
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 1: experience and probably one of the most exciting things that

961
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 1: she'll go through, it has not been that for her.

962
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 1: And on most days she's feeling really down about the

963
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 1: things that people are saying about her online and the

964
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 1: editing of the show. So, um, actually, the girls and

965
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:12,840
Speaker 1: I we all sent her some flowers today just let

966
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:14,880
Speaker 1: her know that, like we love her and this is

967
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 1: a blip, Like this will all be done, you know,

968
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:20,359
Speaker 1: it'll be done. What every week outcome is tomorrow night, Right,

969
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 1: She's gonna walk away and she's gonna be able to

970
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 1: move on and hopefully have someone that she genuinely loves

971
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:28,360
Speaker 1: and can be with and and people will forget about this.

972
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 1: They'll move on. Apparently Tasa will be the next bachelorette.

973
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:33,719
Speaker 1: So you know, hopefully this is a blip in what

974
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 1: just seems like a different, difficult time for her. We

975
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:38,400
Speaker 1: were just talking about that with Blake Courtsmy before you

976
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:40,919
Speaker 1: came on. But how this is like such a high,

977
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 1: right you wait months for this to air, and you're

978
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:45,239
Speaker 1: so excited for people to see your love story and

979
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:48,359
Speaker 1: to celebrate with you and just be involved in your life.

980
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 1: And then and I know, you know, it's still exciting

981
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:53,399
Speaker 1: because now millions of people watch Claire and like that's

982
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:56,520
Speaker 1: this cool thing. But when that turns and it's millions

983
00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 1: of people watch you and it feels like the world

984
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:02,400
Speaker 1: is criticizing you. It's such a fall drop from grace

985
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 1: that like it has to hurt, and like I imagine

986
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:10,319
Speaker 1: she just feels super lonely right now because there's really

987
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:11,920
Speaker 1: nobody else that in the world that can relate. Like

988
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 1: nobody can relate. I'm literally trying to reach out to

989
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:17,359
Speaker 1: her on a daily basis, even if she doesn't text back,

990
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:19,719
Speaker 1: and just say like, hey, I'm thinking about you, I'm

991
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:21,640
Speaker 1: praying for you. Just know that this is almost over.

992
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 1: Like you're doing great, You're doing great. I'm trying to

993
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 1: be a cheerleader because I feel like she has so

994
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:28,799
Speaker 1: many cards stacked against her. And something that I think

995
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 1: is so interesting is that when they announced Claire as

996
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 1: the bachelorette, everybody was like, Yes, finally a thirty nine

997
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:36,800
Speaker 1: year old woman who knows exactly what she wants and

998
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:38,480
Speaker 1: she's not messing around and she's not gonna take any

999
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 1: bs for an answer, right, Except now there's so many

1000
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:44,120
Speaker 1: people online who are shaming this thirty nine year old

1001
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:47,400
Speaker 1: woman who's not taking bs and who knows exactly what

1002
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:49,279
Speaker 1: she wants, and now people are hating on her for

1003
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:51,880
Speaker 1: that exact thing that we were praising her for in

1004
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 1: the very beginning, which I think just sucks, Like it

1005
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:58,959
Speaker 1: just sucks. It does well, Uh, we're wishing Claire the best,

1006
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:02,440
Speaker 1: and uh, I don't know, like do you wish that

1007
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 1: just just goes away? Because that feels sad too, Like, Oh,

1008
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:07,880
Speaker 1: this like blip in my life that was super exciting

1009
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:10,480
Speaker 1: that I was so pumped for, that I quarantined for

1010
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 1: and waited for and got pushed back on. Now we

1011
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 1: just at kind of like all hoping it. Let's just

1012
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:16,880
Speaker 1: like let it go now for Claire and we can

1013
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 1: move on. Like that seems sad too, It really does, like, like,

1014
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 1: in the full circle of things, you want to see

1015
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:24,040
Speaker 1: people be happy for her, and you want them to

1016
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 1: be happy for the love story, and you want them

1017
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:28,560
Speaker 1: to be her, you know, cheering her on. But I

1018
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:30,480
Speaker 1: just don't know what that's going to happen, which is right,

1019
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 1: that's just such a bummer. But Claire does like to

1020
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:35,560
Speaker 1: like kind of go back to her regular life. Do

1021
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:39,360
Speaker 1: you am I wrong in thinking that? Like she just

1022
00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:42,239
Speaker 1: wants to a Dale in the privacy of her own

1023
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:45,960
Speaker 1: Sacramento circle, and she's happy with that. She doesn't need

1024
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 1: any more attention. Yeah, I think that's a pretty good

1025
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 1: safe thing to say. Like, um, I've had the luxury

1026
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 1: of since we filmed seeing Claire and and getting to

1027
00:51:57,719 --> 00:51:59,840
Speaker 1: chat with Dale. And you know, Steve and I just

1028
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:02,440
Speaker 1: ranted nine years of marriage, so we have definitely weathered

1029
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:04,959
Speaker 1: some storms, ups and downs and stuff throughout the years.

1030
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:08,320
Speaker 1: But what I tried to encourage Claire with is that

1031
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 1: hopefully some really great things will come out of this,

1032
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:13,640
Speaker 1: hopefully some really great opportunities, right, I mean, look at

1033
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:17,320
Speaker 1: you too. What I encouraged them both to do is

1034
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:22,040
Speaker 1: definitely enjoy the ride, take the opportunities, because these things

1035
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:24,719
Speaker 1: will you know, they'll forever change the way their lives

1036
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 1: go and and to love it and enjoy it, but

1037
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:29,680
Speaker 1: also to nurture and and and take care of what

1038
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:34,239
Speaker 1: they have. So I think that that would make her

1039
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 1: so happy to just be in Sacramento and to live

1040
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:39,359
Speaker 1: her life and and live her love story with Dale.

1041
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:41,560
Speaker 1: And she's totally fine with that. She's waited a really

1042
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 1: long time. Yeah, well again, worship the best. Now, this

1043
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:47,399
Speaker 1: is a good moment for us to talk about something

1044
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:51,600
Speaker 1: extremely important because you're you're doing it right now. Uh,

1064
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:49,600

1070
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 1: at it. They were aunorable mentions in the book. That's

1071
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:15,439
Speaker 1: the thing. They are hounorable mentions in the book. Didn't

Speaker 1: dive into them, so we're gonna dive into them here

1073
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:20,880
Speaker 1: on the almost in his podcast, this is the quote

1074
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:24,280
Speaker 1: from the book. There was a time a cop delivered

1075
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:29,080
Speaker 1: a trunk stuffed full of toilet paper. After you've got

1076
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 1: into a car wreck on your way, Okay, got it.

1077
00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 1: So this cop discovered that you had a trunk full

1078
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:39,279
Speaker 1: of toilet paper while you were on your way to

1079
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:42,880
Speaker 1: toilet paper a friend's house. Yeah, so you know the

1080
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:44,719
Speaker 1: funny part about storytime with Ben is there's gonna be

1081
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 1: some stories that come up, um in the future that

1082
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:51,680
Speaker 1: are super intimate and super vulnerable. And I laugh at

1083
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:53,480
Speaker 1: the idea of hearing him and I never know what

1084
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 1: story Ashley is gonna pull out. So this is always

1085
00:54:57,040 --> 00:55:00,120
Speaker 1: off the cuff, always a little nerve racking. Um se

1086
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:02,840
Speaker 1: very exciting. So anyways, here's the story. I was sixteen

1087
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:04,319
Speaker 1: years old. I had just got in my first car.

1088
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:05,800
Speaker 1: It was a Honda Civic I got I bought it

1089
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 1: from my grandfather, who was a car salesman. Great, great dude.

1090
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:12,399
Speaker 1: He has now passed away. But um, I had had

1091
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:14,399
Speaker 1: it just a few months and I was the only

1092
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 1: one in my friend group that could drive, and so

1093
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:19,839
Speaker 1: I was always driving them around doing the most ridiculous things.

1094
00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 1: Is like a freshman sophomore in high school. Well, one

1095
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:23,719
Speaker 1: of those things that we enjoyed doing was keeping our

1096
00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:25,879
Speaker 1: friend's houses, um, because there's just a lot of fun

1097
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:27,400
Speaker 1: to see their parents have to put into all the

1098
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:29,759
Speaker 1: words to clean up the trees. Like now that I

1099
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:31,759
Speaker 1: think about this at this age, if somebody teeping my

1100
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:34,480
Speaker 1: house I'd be so angry, like you'd be the angry

1101
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:37,359
Speaker 1: old man. I'd be so mad, just with the idea that, hey,

1102
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:40,720
Speaker 1: my Sunday football watching and bourbon drinking is now ruined

1103
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 1: by my stupid high school kids friends keeping my house. Anyways,

1104
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:51,000
Speaker 1: uh So on a Friday night, uh we went out

1105
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:53,919
Speaker 1: after a football game and just loaded up with toilet paper.

1106
00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:56,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not kidding you are. My Honda Civic

1107
00:55:56,840 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 1: trunk was stuffed full, like to the point I remember

1108
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:01,880
Speaker 1: having to push it down to get it like pushed in.

1109
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:05,239
Speaker 1: So we go out in this drive. We're driving on

1110
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:07,399
Speaker 1: the road and I'm just a few months into driving,

1111
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:09,200
Speaker 1: and I was a very irresponsible driver at that point.

1112
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:10,799
Speaker 1: I have not been in a car Wrex since knock

1113
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:13,719
Speaker 1: on Wood. Um. But I was driving and I looked

1114
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:16,040
Speaker 1: over my friend in the passenger seat and I was

1115
00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:18,560
Speaker 1: talking to him, and I looked back in front of me,

1116
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:20,920
Speaker 1: and a lady had stopped to turn into a y

1117
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:23,440
Speaker 1: M c A and I put my brakes on and

1118
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:26,440
Speaker 1: it just wasn't soon enough and I had just completely

1119
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:29,839
Speaker 1: rear ended her um and so she was actually turning

1120
00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:31,279
Speaker 1: in to see her mom, who was working at the

1121
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:33,440
Speaker 1: y M. C A. So we turned into the parking lot.

1122
00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:35,520
Speaker 1: My car is completely totaled, like the front is just

1123
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:37,600
Speaker 1: smashed up, and like her back of her car is

1124
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 1: smashed like this is not like a fender binder, this

1125
00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:43,480
Speaker 1: is a wreck. And and I'm feeling terrible. My parents

1126
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:46,160
Speaker 1: are actually at a funeral at that point in time,

1127
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:49,080
Speaker 1: and so and I have to call them at his

1128
00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:51,839
Speaker 1: funeral and asked him to come get me. Well, when

1129
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:57,160
Speaker 1: they come get me, uh, the cop had just opened

1130
00:56:57,239 --> 00:57:00,399
Speaker 1: up the trunk and because they were searching my car.

1131
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:03,879
Speaker 1: I don't really remember why they were fully searching my car, um,

1132
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:06,480
Speaker 1: but they were searching my car, probably given the fact

1133
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:08,160
Speaker 1: that like I was an idiot and I was sixteen,

1134
00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:09,919
Speaker 1: and they're like, this guy definitely is up to something.

1135
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:14,160
Speaker 1: And inside the trunk, I'm not kidding you, is all

1136
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:16,880
Speaker 1: that toilet paper and it just explodes like out of

1137
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 1: the car, all over the parking lot. Um. And uh,

1138
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:25,439
Speaker 1: the lady was nice enough to not like do any

1139
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:29,600
Speaker 1: further uh stuff with me, even though it was my fault. Um.

1140
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:31,760
Speaker 1: But I'll never forget the time that my parents pulled

1141
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 1: up already angry out of the funeral. A little bit

1142
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:36,960
Speaker 1: sad because it was a friend of theirs to the

1143
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:38,760
Speaker 1: parking lot looking at me as I stand behind my

1144
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:41,240
Speaker 1: car with a cop looking into my trunk, and the

1145
00:57:41,320 --> 00:57:43,920
Speaker 1: whole parking lot around my car is full of toilet paper.

1146
00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:46,280
Speaker 1: That is as a time in my life that I

1147
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:51,240
Speaker 1: won't forget. That's good. That's good that they asked that

1148
00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:53,200
Speaker 1: the cop. The cop was like, so you were about

1149
00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:55,160
Speaker 1: to go to paper somebody's house. I mean, I think

1150
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 1: it's it was a given. Like, I don't I don't think.

1151
00:57:58,440 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any question that I needed. I mean, like, hey,

1152
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 1: I am a healthy eater, um, but I don't think

1153
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:11,080
Speaker 1: there was any questions I needed drunk bullet toilet paper. Okay, alright,
