00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: We realized last week that is as hard as that was,

13
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: it probably wasn't the best idea to do two weeks

14
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: in a row. So we brought in one of Bachelor

15

Speaker 1: what she's going to be talking about. She couldn't be

26
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: in studio today, so we brought Michelle Money in to

27
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: break down the episode with me do a couple of

28
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: really exciting interviews. We have Sydney who left uh Colton's

29
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: episode on her own accord uh this week, and also

30
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,559
Speaker 1: we have the Bachelor producers from Vietnam on the podcast.

31
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: We're gonna give us a little dirt, a little insight,

32
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,839
Speaker 1: and a little background about how The Bachelor Vietnam was created.

33
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: But before we do any of that, Michelle Money, what

34
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: are your thoughts on Colton Underwood? Oh my gosh, I

35
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: am so he is so refreshing for me. I don't

36
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: know what I think. At first, I was a little

37
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: nervous that he was going to come across arrogant, I

38
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: don't know hockey, but she's actually really I'm really impressed

39
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 1: by him and the more I see him um handling

40
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: these situations and all these be Sorry, guys, just a glass. No,

41
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: we just tossing stuff over there. Well it together, Ben anyway, No,

42
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: I'm super impressed with him. I really, I really think

43
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 1: he's I think he's a genuine good dude. So, Michelle,

44
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: let me ask you a few questions about Colton that

45
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: we haven't talked about yet on the podcast. Do you

46
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: remember a couple months ago when there's a whole hashtag

47
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: going around not my Bachelor? Yeah, you do? Things have

48
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: changed a little bit, Huh. I feel like they've changed.

49
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,119
Speaker 1: I haven't been checking out any hashtags lately, but it does.

50
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: It does seem like, I don't know, it feels it

51
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: feels like there's a shift. Yeah, you know, I think

52
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: for a couple of reasons. Here's my theory. I was

53
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: able to meet with Colton. It wasn't aired. I get

54
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: cut from this show all the time. It's it's actually

55
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: kind of funny. Every season I seem to go on

56
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: or filming a piece and then most seasons that never airs, which,

57
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know what that's telling me. I

58
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: think they're trying to humble me a bit. But anyways,

59
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: I met with Colton before this whole thing started on

60
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: on camera, and when I sit sat down with him.

61
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: He was nervous, he was anxious, he was a little

62
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: bit confused, and he felt very unworthy of being the bachelor,

63
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: which is perfect for everybody watching because you want a

64
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: humble bachelor. Nobody if you just think of the concept

65
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: of a bachelor bachelor, like nobody is worthy to be

66
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: the Bachelor bachelor and nobody is worried had twenty plus

67
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: people seeking after them. Nobody's that cool. And when the

68
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: less cool you feel going in, I think the better

69
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: bachelor bachelor you'll be. That's probably totally true. Yeah, he uh,

70
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: He's kind of won the hearts over of of Bachelor

71
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: Nation and it hasn't stopped this week. His social I

72
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,119
Speaker 1: will say this about cold, and his social has doubled,

73
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: Like his activity on social has doubled in the last

74
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: couple of months. So I have a feeling he's going

75
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: to come out of this whole thing either very popular

76
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: or he's gonna get himself into trouble by posting too much,

77
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: one of those two things. But I'm meeting with him

78
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: the night and I want to ask him about it,

79
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: ask him. I love he posted this photo of him

80
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: when he was like in high school in like some

81
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: white like really big talks that did not and he

82
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: looks like a totally different person. But I think it's

83
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 1: so cool and people can be kind of vulnerable enough

84
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 1: to put themselves out there in a way that's like,

85
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: this is maybe not the best photo of me, and

86
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: look at me now, like he it was very It

87
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: was a very humble cool posts that I thought said

88
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: a lot about him. Have you always been good looking?

89
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: Were you like good looking in high school and middle

90
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: school and elementary school? Ridiculously good luck, like always like

91
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 1: the top of the class, never had snaggle tooth, never

92
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: had a really bad bang that was permed by my mom,

93
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: and like none of that happened. It was weird. I

94
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: just came like this, you wanted a little interesting fact

95
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: about Michelle Money that I just learned. What a fact.

96
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: It's not a fact, it's a Chris Harrison tidbit. So

97
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: Chris Harrison just revealed on Janna Kramer's podcast that the

Speaker 1: become that that's so sweet and I'll pay him later.

00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: bit stinky, so you could really use a new couch soon.

156
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: And it's too expensive for one person to buy up

157
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: our registry, but if a couple of people group together,

158

173
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: in the studio, Ben Michelle. This week's episode of The Bachelor,

174
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: we had to see some drama played out. Let's start

175
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: with talking about maybe the biggest dramatic storyline of this episode,

176
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: which was Nicole and on Yanka. They gotten a tiff,

177
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: a little battle, and Cole and sends them both home.

178
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: Do you think you made the right decision? I do,

179
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: But I want to break this down. This is what's

180
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: so fascinating to me. It's un it's just so interesting

181
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: how it's just a great reminder for us as as

182
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,599
Speaker 1: viewers watching the show. I think you can watch this

183
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: show and take so much of it and applied to

184
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: your life and learn and go from it. And I

185
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: think this is one of those experiences where you're like, Okay,

186
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: you know, an Yanka thought she was doing the right

187
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: thing by taking information from release that she assumed to

188
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: be true. However, it was none of her business and

189
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: she kind of stopped, you know, into a territory that

190
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: wasn't really I don't know again, not not really her business,

191
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: but it turned into this bigger deal that did not

192
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 1: need to happen, and um, you know, it sounds to

193
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: me like that wasn't the context in which it's the

194
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: statement of her wanting to use this as an opportunity

195
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 1: to leave Miami. It sounds like that was taken out

196
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: of context. And it's just so important for us to remember,

197
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: like we have to be so careful how we're relaying

198
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 1: messages like gossiping, how we're taking you know, story raising,

199
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,839
Speaker 1: not really if it doesn't come straight from the horse's mouth,

200
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: we really don't know if it's true or not. And

201
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: this is just a sad example of what can happen

202
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: when you aren't minding your own business and when you

203
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 1: aren't there to hear the actual words come out of

204
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: someone's mouth, and I think unfortunately it just unraveled into

205
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: both women bringing out the worst in each other, and

206
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:28,839
Speaker 1: unfortunately Colton having to witness that firsthand. Yeah, you know

207
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:33,719
Speaker 1: it was great, Michelle, are almost as Facebook group kind

208
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: of blew up over this topic. We have a great

209
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: Facebook group, by the way, a really good community of people.

210
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: They actually this week one of the leaders of the

211
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: Facebook group had a birthday and the whole group, uh

212
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: started tweeting at me to say, what's your having birthday?

213
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: So I did, um. But we have a lot of

214
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: good support out there. But I always like to read

215
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 1: the Facebook group because it does give me insight into

216
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: how Bachelor Nation is feeling a little bit in your

217
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: spot on last week on the episode, we talked about

218
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: playing the game of telephone, right. I mean, it's kind

219
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: of like that game where one person tells one person

220
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: one thing and the next person tells another person another thing,

221
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: and by the time it gets to the final result

222
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: that the story has changed completely. Unfortunately, though, everybody suffered

223
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,719
Speaker 1: because of this, And and that's where I think the

224
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: question of what did he do the right thing comes

225
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: in mind for me, is because Nicole really didn't do

226
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 1: anything wrong. She she didn't say or it did. It

227
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: wasn't setting in the context that it was being communicated

228
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: the Colton do the right thing and just saying you

229
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: know what, I can't deal with this in general. I

230
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: mean Nicole, really, I feel like she took the worst

231
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: part of this. I agree, but I think the way

232
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: that she handled it said a lot to not that

233
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: there's any like right or wrong way to handle something

234
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: I can't imagine having been put in her situation. But unfortunately,

235
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,959
Speaker 1: I think on top of being in this super unique,

236
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: like high emotions, super like competitive environment, it just when

237
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,719
Speaker 1: when stressful situations happened like this, it says a lot

238
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 1: about how you handle those situations. And I don't necessarily

239
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: know if I don't know what the right thing to

240
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:12,079
Speaker 1: do is, but I it just didn't bring out the

241
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: best in either of them, unfortunately, And and Holton was

242
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 1: there to witness that firsthand, and I guess made that

243
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: decision on his own. Um, what would you have done? Ben? Uh?

244
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: You know, it's hard to say. I don't think Colton. Honestly,

245
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: I can't say Colton did the wrong thing here because

246
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: I think you're kind of You're very right in the

247
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: sense of there's so much pressure, there's so much going

248
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: around around you, on around you. At all times. You're

249
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: trying to keep your head above water, and at some

250
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 1: point when something like this comes up, you weigh your options.

251
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: You Okay, obviously he if we're truthful, he wasn't that

252
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: ending the coal and he wasn't the end of Anko

253
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: because he would have kept them around. Um. But instead

254
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: he said, you know what, like I'm just this is

255
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 1: just best if we clean the slate here, if we

256
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: just start start over, take this situation and kind of

257
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: separate it from this group and move forward with the

258
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: women that I know I want to be with. So

259
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: I think he did the right thing. Uh. I would

260
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: like to ask you, Michelle, before we get into the

261
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: one on one day with Hannah ge and oh my god,

262
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: there was one on one day and a half. I

263
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: was gonna say, I felt all sorts of weird in here.

264
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: Uh that's a lot. But before we get into that,

265
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: you've been on the show. You've done well at the show,

266
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: and when I mean when I what I say by

267
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: that is you were yourself. You're authentic and you're true

268
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: to yourself. Uh. You pursue this thing the best you

269
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: possibly could. What would be your advice to anybody out

270
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: there that's putting a pressured situation that's trying to explain

271
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: themselves on this show? What kind of thought process do

272
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: you go through to kind of decide what's true and

273
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: what's not and what do you share with the Bachelor

274
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: and what you don't when you're actually on the show.

275
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: Is that you're saying, yeah, when you're on the show, Well,

276
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: it's it's so hard to answer that question because it

277
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: is so complete. It is such a completely different world.

278
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it's shocking to me to look back and

279
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: think about how I went into that show, The Bachelor

280
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: in particular, thinking that I was a pretty normal woman,

281
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: and left feeling like maybe I'm actually super jealous and

282
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: insecure and actually like I don't even know who I am.

283
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: It's it's fascinating the world that they create that that

284
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: makes brings out the worst in you. I mean, we're

285
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: talking like the jealousy, the competition, sizing yourself up, like

286
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: am I good enough? Is am I pretty enough? I've

287
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: never felt emotions like that in my whole life until

288
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: going on that show, and and so it it's easy

289
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: for me to sit here and say, you know what,

290
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: remember who you are, Remember like be present, like take

291
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: a breath, like remember that this isn't a real world

292
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: you're living in, and align with your your your true self.

293
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: But you know, until you're walking in someone's shoes, until

294
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: you're actually in that situation, it's so hard to even

295
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: give like valid advice. Do you know what I'm saying?

296
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: Does that make sense? I almost don't know how to

297
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: answer that. Yeah, you know, I know exactly what you're saying.

298
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: You're touching on something that our listeners always love to hear,

299
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: and it's true and authenticity and vulnerability that crosses the

300
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: I guess what you watch on TV and it's the Hey,

301
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: this is really hard when you're in it. You're experiencing

302
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: things you've never experienced before. You're competing or seeing fighting

303
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: after somebody you probably care a little bit about. You

304
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: might not fall in love with the bachelor Bachelor, but

305
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: you care about them. You want to be there because

306
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: you have friends there, You're experiencing amazing things, and at

307
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: the end of the day, you also probably you know,

308
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: have this interest and intrigue into who the lead is

309
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: and all these things. It puts a pressure cooker around you,

310
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: and you get insecure because there's everybody's around you is

311

Speaker 1: off and edible in their dress. Nice. All these things

313
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 1: are hard and it's not your typical environment and people

314
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,160

Speaker 1: and give grace in those situations because this is not easy.

316
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: It's not as easy as it looks on television. It's

317
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:21,359

320
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 1: on that we don't get to see that's exhausting. And

407
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: be part of my life. But that's exactly what it is.

408
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:26,959
Speaker 1: You know, it's a part of my life. It's not

409
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: my end all be all, and um, you know, it's

410

Speaker 1: did and I'm happy I did it, you know what

412
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: I mean. That's how often the two of you get

413
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: recognized now, Uh, just walking around town or on the

414
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 1: streets and people say you're so and so from the Bachelor.

415
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 1: You answer that first, David the Chicken and how about you? Well,

416
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: it's so so Living in Utah, I hosted a talk

417
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: show for like three years. A lot of I was

418
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 1: on TV at home in Utah too, so a lot

419
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: of times people would recognize me from good things you

420
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: taught or from the Bachelor. But it just depends on when,

421
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 1: and it just depends on on when and where, like

422
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: what's actually going on, Like yeah, exactly, Um, I completely agree.

423
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: And um, you know it's really dependent on where I go.

424
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: If I go to Ah, let's say bar where it's

425
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: the watcher's demographic, Yeah, sure, Um, you know, people are

426
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 1: going to recognize me and people will come up and

427
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: say hello, and it's really fun. I mean, my friends

428
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: love it. My friends loves being you know when that happens,

429
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,679
Speaker 1: and it's it's really it's it's really cool and like

430
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:40,679
Speaker 1: one of the things that I've never thought before, like

431
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: people would recognize me oh my god, it must have

432
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: done something really cool. So I don't know, it's fun. Ben.

433
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 1: How often are you do you get recognized? I feel

434
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: like a lot. Yeah, Like I feel like when you

435
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: are yeah, did you like always said that was so

436
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: much confidence. I've been thinking about this. Basically I thought

437
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 1: it would stop, but I feel like Bachelor Nation just

438
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: either continues to grow or that I just run into

439
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 1: random people at random times. But I mean, I think

440
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: any place, especially like airports or stuff like that, like

441
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: people love this show so much and so yeah, people

442
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,919
Speaker 1: seem to still you stop and say hey, you're so

443
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:20,719
Speaker 1: and so. I mean, I'm three years out on this

444
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: thing and people. I feel people can pick up on

445
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: your energy, like if you're like if I'm like open

446
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 1: and like my head's up and I'm like, people will

447
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: come approach me more often about like if I'm my

448
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 1: head's down, I'm like on my phone, people kind of

449
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: like are a lot more reluctant to come say anything.

450
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: I always love it when people do. It makes me

451
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: feel so special and people are so nice. And I

452
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: think one of one of the interesting things is when

453
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: I when I meet people and I'm you know, very

454
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: self aware of kind of how the show went, and

455
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 1: they'll say, oh, here's the Here's the one thing you

456
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: know about David is he likes to describe himself. He's

457
00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 1: very self aware, all right, So in any case, but

458
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 1: when when people you know come up and talk to

459
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 1: them for call it five ten minutes, um, and you know,

460
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 1: I'm just me, and you know, they end up saying, Wow,

461
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 1: you're actually you know, you're really nice in person. You

462
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: know you didn't necessarily come off that way on the show.

463
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: And that's the same same I get that too, broth.

464
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: You know, it's just like, I know, I wish I

465
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 1: could talk to all those people out there, but I can.

466
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: And you know, it's just fun to actually show people

467
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: who I am in person and talk with the real

468
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 1: may if you will. I like to think that the

469
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 1: Almost Famous podcast did a really good job at kind

470
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: of reinventing who you are to the public. I think

471
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 1: I think we can all take credit. I heart video

472
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: can for letting people know the real David. You know what,

473
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: I get a lot before we let you go, David,

474
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 1: I know you've got a lot of studying to do

475
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 1: and all catching up. Um. I get one of two things.

476
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 1: Most of the time, let's say three things. Every interaction

477
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,199
Speaker 1: I have mostly starts with are you been by They

478
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: look at me like I don't really know if you

00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: are not, which then follows with your last skinnier on TV,

480
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: or it's you know what, you actually are better looking

481
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: in person, and it's like this always like that doesn't

538
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: I just have to say this, Okay, So Hannah g

539
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: has kind of just been like she's a little bit

540
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: more meek and soft and sweet and and then but

541
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: when she gets those sexual like juice is flowing, she

542
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: just comes alive. And so we call it sexual juices,

543
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: sexual uses flowing. I mean, I know, I'm so sorry,

544
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: but I just I love a girl that just owns

545
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: her sexuality because not only is she making out with Colton,

546
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: there's like producers, camera guys, there's people all up in

547
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: her grill, and she's just in the moment. Man, she

548
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: is feeling it. She is going after it. She is

549
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: not holding back. She is letting her feminine power take

550
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: over that mud bath, that massage table, and she is

551
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: enjoying every second of it as she should, as she should.

552
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 1: You you know you're right, and let's like, let's stop

553
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: for a second, because yes, I think it's terrific. It's

554
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: still hard to watch, Like it's still weird to watch,

555
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 1: is it, though? No, Well this is it's like, my buddy.

556
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: So here's the deal. I want to see Colton tonight

557
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 1: at his wine opening. He's starting a wine brand for

558
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: his nonprofit and I have to look at this dude

559
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: in the eyes after just like I know what was happening. Yeah, yeah,

560
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: Like I don't know if I like that. I don't

561
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: know if there's any of my friends that I enjoy

562
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: getting that close to something so intimate. Well, the first

563
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: thing I think of is her parents, like her family.

564
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: It's like that that yeah man, she yep, she forgot

565
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: that was going to be a thing, and Grandma is

566
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 1: going to be thrilled. But I do, I do have

567
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: to give it to her because I I think that

568
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: it's it's important and it's okay, and it's a beautiful

569
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 1: part of our sexuality to be able to express ourselves sexually.

570
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: And I think it's she just went for it and

571
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: he was loving it. And you can tell that their

572
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 1: chemistry is like off the charts right like it's they

573
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: it's there and it is strong and it is alive,

574
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: and it's yeah it is. I wonder if I want

575
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 1: to sit on this for a little bit, because I

576
00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: think this is actually more than anything, I really important

577
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 1: part of this whole season is this date because I

578
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 1: do think we saw the chemistry. I thought we saw

579
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 1: the two of them come to live together. I thought,

580
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: you know, for weeks, we've kind of wondered, where's hand

581
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: to ge sitting this whole thing. She's quiet, she's me

582
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: she's she's a little bit more subdued, and so like,

583
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 1: we don't know where they stand anymore. And then this happens,

584
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: and once they get together one on one her, you know,

585
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: they come alive together. And I think we saw that.

586
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: So here's the question. Do you think Colton and the

587
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 1: show knew how much their physical chemistry was kind of brewing?

588
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: And so they picked the sexiest day alive to sit

589
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: them together with it in so that they're mudded up

590
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: in bathing suits together on massage beds like this. This

591
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: had to be a little bit playing. This isn't happening

592
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: with everybody. No, I think you're totally right because the

593
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: episode where they made out in the bed, you could

594
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: tell that there was just like there was chemistry. And

595
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: and this is the other thing I want to say

596
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: about Hannah Gy that I've found to be really refreshing

597
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: is there was a conversation between Cassie and Kaylin where

598
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: they were kind of alluding to the fact that, like

599
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: Hannah Gee, there's not a lot of depth to her.

600
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: She's she's kind of been um had to use her

601
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: beauty to get this far in life. It will be

602
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: interesting to see how this date goes kind of a

603
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 1: deal and I just have to say, like, I find

604
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: it like I found I was so drawn to Hannah

605
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: Gee after the conversation they had at dinner where she

606
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 1: opened up about the divorce of her parents and and

607
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 1: I think it's easy to assume that these beautiful girls

608
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: don't have a lot of depth to them, and yeah,

609
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: they might be these sexual beings as well, but there

610
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: is depth to Hannah Gee that like she might just

611
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 1: not be opening up to you, right, like this girl,

612
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: how I think. I think Hannah Gee seems to have

613
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 1: a lot of depth, and she seems to be very

614
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 1: self aware, and I think she's a smart, beautiful woman

615
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 1: who also steps into her sexuality that I think is

616
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:03,479
Speaker 1: powerful and important. And so I found it to be

617
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: incredibly refreshing. And I really think that, Um, just because

618
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: she's this beautiful little bombshell, you know, doesn't mean there's

619
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 1: not really, you know, like incredible depth there. Yeah, I

620
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: have a question. I want to pause for a second

621
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: and just take this off. You just mentioned that you

622
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: have a fourteen year old daughter, Um, how then do

623
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,839
Speaker 1: you have these kind of conversations with your daughter? As

624
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 1: you know, obviously you know the show is really popular

625
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 1: in pop culture. People your daughter's age are starting to

626
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 1: watch it. Are you starting to kind of have these

627
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: talks or if for anybody out there listening is a

628
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: mom or has a young young child, how do you

629
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 1: recommend those parents connecting with their children to have these open,

630
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: honest dialogues about what they're feeling, what they're experiencing, and

631
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 1: and who they're becoming. Well, I think it's incredibly important

632
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,919
Speaker 1: to have the conversation with your children at some age.

633
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 1: I think you can be sixteen and be very immature.

634
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 1: You can also be twelve and be very mature, right,

635
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 1: So I think it's an intuitive thing, but I think

636
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: it's so important to to talk to our children about

637
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 1: those sexual feelings about you know, our hormones and the

638
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,439
Speaker 1: feelings that come up in our body. They're very real

639
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 1: and they're very powerful, and it's important to understand them

640
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: and to know that there's nothing wrong with that and

641
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 1: that they're just it's a normal part of being a human.

642
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 1: And when you feel shame around that or you feel

643
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 1: embarrassed because of it. It's that's not empowering these young girls,

644
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:33,359
Speaker 1: but but giving them the information and helping them, um

645
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: understand that it's a it's a sacred, special part of

646
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: being a woman, and it's important to to understand it

647
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 1: and to feel it. But to um two, only give

648
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: that away when you feel comfortable giving that away, And

649
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: that no one should be touching your body without your permission,

650
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 1: that even if someone hugs you like and that you

651
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 1: didn't ask for that. Like. It's just so orton for

652
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,280
Speaker 1: these young girls and for all women to to step

653
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 1: into their power and to step until step into their

654
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 1: sexual power and um and not give that away uh frivolously,

655
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 1: but to to see it as the as the feminine

656
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 1: power that we all have within us. Wow, that's terrific.

657
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: That's how I feel. I bet you're a great mom.

658
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 1: I haven't seen you around your daughter, but you're a

659
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 1: probably fantastic mother. The so Colton and Hannah Gee have

660
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 1: a very erotic, sexy, steamy date. Here's one thing. I

661
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:39,359
Speaker 1: got an email that said, uh, and this just came

662
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: to my personal email, kind of kind of funny, but

663
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: they said, one thing that knows about Colton is. He

678
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 1: a place where we start seeing Sydney melting down a bit.

679
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,800
Speaker 1: She's starting to kind of get the lease syndrome where

680
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 1: this isn't working for her. Uh. They haven't had enough time.

681
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 1: Her connection with Colton is fading, and she she kind

682
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 1: of wanted wants to get back home. I don't want

683
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,879
Speaker 1: to assume anything on her behalf, and that's why we're

684
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 1: bringing her on the podcast, Sydney, thanks for joining the

685

Speaker 1: impressed by you from start to finish. Thank you. That's

693
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: so sweet. I mean, it's really hard to do and

694
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: certain like situations, so I appreciate you for saying that

695
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 1: the you know, Michelle's were preparing for this podcast. Uh

696
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: really did, Sydney. She just said she's proud of you.

697
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,359
Speaker 1: She's excited to talk to you, Sydney. I want to

698
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: know a little bit of background, right so for anybody

699
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: out there listening. Some people listen to this podcast and

700
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: they haven't gotten to watch every episode. If you don't

701
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: mind giving our listeners a little bit of background about

702
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 1: who you are, your time on the Bachelor, and then

703
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 1: let's end it with you talking about kind of your

704
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 1: thoughts and nerves and how long those lasted leading up

705
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:01,800
Speaker 1: to your time to say goodbye to Colton. Okay, yeah, sure,

706
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 1: So I guess from the show um perspective, I'm like

707
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:09,799
Speaker 1: the dancer girl that came from New York, UM, who

708
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: essentially left her job to pursue Colton. So I think

709
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: that's like how America was first introduced to me. And yeah,

710
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,879
Speaker 1: that's how my journey kind of started on the show. Um,

711
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,359
Speaker 1: I've been a dancer since I was like three, So

712
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 1: that's like something that's very special to me and something

713
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: that I've always like worked very hard at and always

714
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: been like a huge punt of my life. So that's

715
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 1: like my background. And then I think on the show,

716
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 1: you didn't see a ton of me always, but whenever

717
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 1: you did see me, I had some key moments that

718
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: I was, uh the girl that was like stretching with

719
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 1: Colton that one episode, Um, I was one banging pots

720
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 1: and parents another episode and yeah, and then ultimately I'm

721
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,359
Speaker 1: I had like a very big conversation at the end

722
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:59,799
Speaker 1: with him before my ultimate leaving the show. So that's

723
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 1: the little bit about me on the show. Other than that, Um,

724
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,720
Speaker 1: I'm rem Virginia Beach. I grew up there actually school

725
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 1: and I think Burnham's hometown, which was really funny. UM.

726
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:11,799
Speaker 1: So I grew up there was a beach girl. I

727
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 1: started dancing, like I said, when I was really young,

728
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 1: and I was like always a huge part of my

729
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: life and I decided to keep pursuing it once I

730
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 1: graduated high school and I went to school UM in

731
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:25,839
Speaker 1: the city at Marymount and graduated, I started the whole

732
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 1: auditioning circuit UM thing that you do in New York,

733
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 1: and I ended up joining UM, an NBA dance team

734
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,240
Speaker 1: in the city and I did that for two years,

735
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,279
Speaker 1: which was ended up being the job that I left

736
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 1: in order to go onto the show. So it's a

737
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: little bit about me in the nutshell. I love it.

738
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:44,320
Speaker 1: I love it, and it sounds like you're super ambitious

739
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: and just kind of a woman who knows what she wants,

740
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 1: which is what I loved. I'm seeing you step into

741
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 1: in the episode where you had this hard conversation. I

742
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:58,360
Speaker 1: want to just ask you quickly, was was this like

743
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:01,799
Speaker 1: built up emotion or did it kind of just like

744
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 1: erupt on this particular date. Well, with that last day,

745
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 1: it was definitely not what I had planned for. I

746
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 1: think the build up for me was that I felt

747
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 1: like every time I talked to him, like it was

748
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 1: always a great conversation and we always had a good

749
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 1: time with one another, but anytime I asked him like

750
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 1: harder questions, the things that I needed to know about

751
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 1: him in order for me to really like know that

752
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 1: I can progress with him and actually like see myself

753
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: at the end of this with him. Because I was

754
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:32,439
Speaker 1: really serious about getting to the like nitty gritty of things,

755
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:34,880
Speaker 1: I never really thought the answers that I wanted, and

756
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 1: I never felt I felt like he didn't want to

757
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:40,919
Speaker 1: connect with me on that level for whatever reason. So

758
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:42,879
Speaker 1: then that last date, it was a lot of doing

759
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 1: that the whole time I was there, and then by

760
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 1: the last day, I was like, well, listen, like we're

761
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 1: getting very close to hometowns and I've never personally brought

762
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:53,839
Speaker 1: anyone home to meet my family. I've never had work

763
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 1: them before, and it's something I take very seriously. So

764
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm going to take this serious now,

765
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 1: and like, can you change you're you've been doing with me?

766
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: Can you actually like fight for me and like be

767
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 1: the man that I need you to be, because it's

768
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 1: not like it doesn't make sense for me to stay

769
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:10,959
Speaker 1: here anymore and just be like a placeholder. So yeah,

770
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 1: that's essentially what my terms were at the end, and

771
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 1: I didn't expect to be leaving the way I did.

772
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:19,319
Speaker 1: But um, what do you mean you what do you mean?

773
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 1: You didn't expect to be? Like? What were you expecting?

774
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: I expected to feel when I brought that up to him,

775
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 1: I was hoping that he would be like, yeah, like

776
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 1: I want to fight for this, like I feel good

777
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:32,319
Speaker 1: about this, like I see a sound connection. And I

778
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:36,320
Speaker 1: didn't get that, and I was like, oh, okay, so shoe,

779
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 1: now I should probably go because he's not going to

780
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 1: do it for me. He's not going to get there

781
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 1: for me. So yeah, that's what happened. So you went

782
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 1: to him, which is common in relationships. I've done that

783
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: a couple of times. I don't know if you have, Michelle,

784
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 1: but you know, you're you're doubting something, you're questioning something.

785
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 1: It's hard to go out of your way and get

786
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 1: there like the truthful answer or the vulnerable answer. So

787
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 1: kind of approach it like Sidney did. She goes, Hey,

788
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm feeling a little bit like I'm

789
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 1: not in this. I feel like you're not into me.

790
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 1: We're not connecting. Am I reading this wrong or not?

791
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 1: And and Colton just pretty much to you, No, you're

792
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 1: not your your spot on it's probably time to go, Sydney.

793
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 1: Was were you disappointed? Oh? You know? Do you wish

794
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 1: you would have approached it a different way? Is there

795
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 1: a better I mean, Michelle, I want you to if

796
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:26,799
Speaker 1: you can't help me out too, is there a better

797
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 1: way in relationships approach those kind of questions? Yeah, I

798
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 1: mean I'm not disappointed. I'm disappointed because I feel like

799
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: maybe he didn't completely good to know me as I

800
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 1: wanted him to, um come, like from the whole time

801
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 1: I was there, like I got to know a lot

802
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 1: of me, but like, um, I wanted to just feel

803
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 1: like I gave my whole self like into the situation

804
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 1: and I don't think that call at all. So that

805
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 1: was disappointing, But I'm not disappointed. And how it ended,

806
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:55,280
Speaker 1: I feel like in a way I might have helped

807
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 1: him on his journey, Like, ultimately, I want him to

808
00:43:57,640 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 1: find what he's looking for, and I hope that it

809
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 1: not me than he. I can at least help them

810
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:04,919
Speaker 1: to find what that is that was me going into

811
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:06,839
Speaker 1: that thing. Like, this is who I am. These are

812
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 1: things that I need. I know that. I think I

813
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 1: know what the things that you need, and I think

814
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 1: I am those. But if you don't see me as that,

815
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 1: then maybe you need to try harder and find the

816
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:17,320
Speaker 1: person that is supposed to be for you, if that

817
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 1: makes sense. Yeah, that role that you kind of took

818
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:22,239
Speaker 1: on was really like cool to watch because it was

819
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 1: a little bit of like listen, you know, I'm not

820
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 1: I'm not fully connected, like I need more from you.

821
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: And I loved how direct you were, And this is

822
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:33,840
Speaker 1: something I think we can take into our lives to

823
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:36,839
Speaker 1: kind of learn from. Is like, you know, a lot

824
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:41,360
Speaker 1: of guys don't really know you kind of have to

825
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: spell things out to them. It seems like like you

826
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 1: kind of have to. Like it was like you kind

827
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 1: of sat them down. You're like, so this is what

828
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 1: I'm not getting what I need from you, and can

829
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:53,280
Speaker 1: you give me more? And it was this very direct,

830
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 1: like straightforward conversation that was so refreshing. Um, but I

831
00:44:57,960 --> 00:44:59,799
Speaker 1: think that you could tell, you know, after you got

832
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:01,400
Speaker 1: some home. I loved that you kind of took on

833
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,239
Speaker 1: this role of like listen, um, don't get distracted by

834
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 1: the shiny things out there. You kind of took on

835
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:09,400
Speaker 1: this friendship role that I think he actually really needed

836
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: more so um than anything at that point. Is that's

837
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 1: what it felt like to me, as if you were,

838
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 1: um that like he kind of needed you, like for

839
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 1: that little reminder. Yeah, I know, because it's such a

840
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 1: hard situation. And I totally understood that, and I could

841
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 1: see that he was trying, and I was like, well, ultimately,

842
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:31,359
Speaker 1: this is my goal, my my what I need, and

843
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:33,359
Speaker 1: like I want to help you out in any way

844
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 1: that I can if I am ultimately leaving. So I

845
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 1: hope that I did that, and I feel like I

846
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 1: did that. Um, it seems like you did, so this

847
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:44,360
Speaker 1: is my question. So okay, so in the moment, that

848
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 1: felt like the right thing to do. So there you

849
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 1: are on the show like that everything is so heightened,

850
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 1: all your feelings behind everything is just like extra. Um

851
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:57,799
Speaker 1: when you got home, did you regret that decision? Oh?

852
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. Oh, I mean I didn't regret it.

853
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 1: I knew in that moment when I had that conversation

854
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,440
Speaker 1: with him that he wasn't going to be my person.

855
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 1: I knew that I wasn't going to be his person.

856
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 1: So and I didn't want to waste anyone's time. Like

857
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 1: I came here to be serious and I wanted to

858
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 1: figure out if this was right for me, and if

859
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:17,280
Speaker 1: it wasn't, then I don't want to yeah, stay around

860
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 1: and just like have a free vacation, like that's not

861
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 1: what I was there for. So I didn't regret it.

862
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 1: I felt good about the decision I made. I mean,

863
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:28,799
Speaker 1: it was like obviously very sad and not like how

864
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:31,840
Speaker 1: you want to leave, but I ultimately feel good about

865
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 1: my choice about leaving because when I got back, I

866
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 1: was like, well, hopefully, like whatever happened, he I played

867
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:41,280
Speaker 1: a part in the end of this journey, it seems

868
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 1: like you did. Um, did you get along with all

869
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: the girls? Did you guys just have so much fun?

870
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 1: I had some really strong friendship that I felt. I

871
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 1: think that you can start seeing that and these like

872
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 1: episodes coming up. Um, I was like really good friends

873
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 1: with like Tatia and Kirpa and Nicole, We like really

874
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 1: got along. Well, Yeah, I love them very much because

875
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 1: you're always around them, so it's like easy to make

876
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:08,759
Speaker 1: strong friendships. I'm curious to know you had mentioned to him.

877
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 1: Don't be distracted by shiny things. Can you elaborate a

878
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 1: little bit more on what those shiny things are or like?

879
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 1: And have those feelings changed or evolved for you about

880
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 1: these people? And I just would love to know more

881
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:27,479
Speaker 1: about where that came from. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean

882
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 1: he was going for like the girls and like that

883
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 1: kind of thing, which is a great like he like

884
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 1: has strong feelings for a lot of them. But I

885
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 1: feel like he could easily get distracted by like the

886
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 1: idea of people instead of like actually asking them the

887
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 1: harder questions. So why I just had a sense about um,

888
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 1: so I wanted him just to like, yes, everyone they're

889
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:49,840
Speaker 1: is beautiful and everyone has like great things, but I

890
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:52,280
Speaker 1: want you to like ask them like are they ready

891
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 1: to be married? Essentially at the end of this, because

892
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 1: that's what he every time he gave us a speech

893
00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 1: at a costail party or whatever, he'd be like, I'm

894
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:00,960
Speaker 1: looking for my wife. I feel like my wife is

895
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:03,400
Speaker 1: in this room. I'm like, Okay, if you're looking for

896
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 1: your wife, like make sure that that's what you're looking for.

897
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 1: You just like going after like who's like shining being

898
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 1: like a shiny thing, I guess is the best play. Yeah,

899
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 1: I think I think you said it in a way

900
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 1: that really impacted him. It seems to me like what

901
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 1: you said really was like I need to think about this,

902
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:20,360
Speaker 1: which I thought was Yeah. I just wanted him to

903
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 1: like think a little bit more about the things that

904
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:26,360
Speaker 1: he was, yeah, pursuing. Essentially, it's like food for thoughts.

905
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 1: It's you know, as we watch this season, there's been

906
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:34,240
Speaker 1: this dynamic that a lot of people are talking about.

907
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:38,240
Speaker 1: Is everybody you know when you left the show? Uh,

908
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 1: there is this I want to say, support of Colton,

909
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 1: which you don't see a lot in the Bachelor franchise,

910
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:46,959
Speaker 1: especially when it comes to The Bachelor. You see it

911
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:48,840
Speaker 1: with the Bachelor at you know, people get off the

912
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:50,840
Speaker 1: show and they say great things. But with the Bachelor,

913
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 1: most of the contestants leave and they're like, yeah, I

914
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,360
Speaker 1: don't like my Bachelor except the one that gets chosen.

915
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 1: It feels like this season you all are in support

916
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:03,280
Speaker 1: of Colton. Is that is that true? Will the clause

917
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:05,879
Speaker 1: come out after the final rows, which they usually do,

918
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 1: or do you think everybody kind of had this just

919
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:13,359
Speaker 1: like affection for Colton to see what whatever's best for

920
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:17,880
Speaker 1: him happen. I mean, I think I see what you mean.

921
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:20,920
Speaker 1: I think actually that is true. Um, he's just like

922
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:23,800
Speaker 1: all in all to his core, he's a very kind,

923
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 1: nice man and like a very good person, And how

924
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:30,319
Speaker 1: could you not root for someone like that? Also, he's

925
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 1: I found him just refreshing as a person, Like you

926
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:35,920
Speaker 1: don't meet many guys nowadays that are visions that like

927
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 1: his agent, like twenty six, So it's just like a

928
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 1: different thing that we're experiencing in culture. So he was

929
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:43,399
Speaker 1: just kind of like a breath of fresh air. So

930
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:46,320
Speaker 1: I think ultimately we're all just like kind of rooting

931
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:51,080
Speaker 1: for him. Oh yeah, we're rooting form also, were wishing

932
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:55,319
Speaker 1: the best. Uh, Sydney, what you did is admirable. Uh,

933
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:59,919
Speaker 1: We've appreciated watching you. Um on this show, we hoped

934
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 1: see you again. We We end every segment talking to

935
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:04,959
Speaker 1: some it's been eliminated or has left in their own

936
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 1: from this season with this question would you and will

937
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 1: you be doing Paradise? Um? Would I do Paradise? I?

938
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:18,640
Speaker 1: I think it was offered to me. I would. Um. Ultimately,

939
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:21,360
Speaker 1: I feel like it would probably be the better situation

940
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:23,360
Speaker 1: for me because I just need time to like settle

941
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:26,280
Speaker 1: in and get no people. And it sounds like Paradise

942
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:28,360
Speaker 1: is a lot of that and being on the beach

943
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:32,680
Speaker 1: with cocktails. So oh yeah, probably. You know, you take

944
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:35,799
Speaker 1: that opportunity. If it's offered to you, you take run.

945
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:41,120
Speaker 1: We hope to see you. Thank you so much. We

946
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 1: hope to watch you. Thanks, thank you so much. Take

947
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:50,279
Speaker 1: care of home. I like her, Yeah, I do think,

948
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:54,439
Speaker 1: I know, I know, she's just she would be fun

949
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:57,600
Speaker 1: to see on Paradise. Yeah, the show can can can

950
00:50:57,680 --> 00:51:00,759
Speaker 1: be difficult for people her who are normal. I would

951
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 1: say everybody on this season is beautiful. The women have

952
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 1: gone home have been beautiful. The woman they're still there

953
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:10,880
Speaker 1: are beautiful. There's one thing that's always shocked me and

954
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:14,680
Speaker 1: Michelle you as I sit here and look at you, uh,

955
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 1: you have the same thing. They all really nice hair.

956
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:20,279
Speaker 1: They all have great hair. It must take a lot

957
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:23,279
Speaker 1: to have this kind of hair. And then here's another

958
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:26,960
Speaker 1: thing I've learned is in my life I have lived

959
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,279
Speaker 1: with a woman. And when I live with a woman,

960
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 1: my bathroom piles up with bottles and bottles and bottles

961
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 1: of different shampoos and conditioners and shiners and whatever it is.

962
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 1: Now there's a solution for that. I don't have a

963
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:42,439
Speaker 1: big house. I don't have a big bathroom. I can't

964
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 1: continue to just build up bottles in my shower and

965
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 1: its function of beauty. We all know the frustration bottles

966
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 1: on bottles piling up in your bathroom, each one falsely

967
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 1: promising a miracle solution. As I just talked about, it's crazy.

968
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 1: What if it didn't need to be this way? What

969
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:03,719
Speaker 1: if there is just one shampoo that could truly do

970
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:08,200
Speaker 1: it all? Wouldn't that be amazing? The truth is this exists.

971
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:11,279
Speaker 1: This is called function of beauty, and function of beauty

972
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 1: addresses all of your hair concerns, not just one. So

973
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:18,359
Speaker 1: most drug store brands only address a single concern like volume, eze,

974
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:21,399
Speaker 1: or strengthen. But with Function of Beauty, you can choose

975
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:24,560
Speaker 1: up to five hair goals to add to your formulation.

976
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:29,319
Speaker 1: It's made with safe, natural ingredients, and it's vegan and

977
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:35,400
Speaker 1: cruelty free. So I took the quiz and chose thermal protectant, hydrate, strengthen,

978
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 1: and volume I ize. Then I picked pink my shampoo

979
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:42,400
Speaker 1: and conditioner to be pink. You guys with the flower

980

990
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:23,719
Speaker 1: There's a one on one day that kind of gets

991
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:26,840
Speaker 1: I feel like covered up in this episode. Isn't the

992
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 1: most talked about thing because even the we've got more

993
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:33,400
Speaker 1: emails on this podcast from who got eliminated at the

994
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:36,360
Speaker 1: Row ceremony than on this one on one day, and

995
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 1: one on one days typically just completely take over this podcast.

996
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:43,360
Speaker 1: It was a one on one day with Kerpa. I

997
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 1: would love for you to break this down, uh if

998
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:52,279
Speaker 1: you don't mine well again, I think Herpa is one

999
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:55,040
Speaker 1: of those women who in the right setting, under the

1000
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 1: right circumstances, can open up and really give you a

1001
00:53:58,040 --> 00:54:00,840
Speaker 1: lot of depth, um you know, And I found that

1002
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:05,560
Speaker 1: to be the case with her. She just had um yeah,

1003
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 1: like she just had a lot of really interesting things

1004
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 1: to say on her date, once she finally felt comfortable,

1005
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:15,759
Speaker 1: like and it just almost it's like it took a

1006
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 1: while for her to finally like kind of open up.

1007
00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:21,560
Speaker 1: What did you feel? Yeah, you know, I think it's

1008
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:26,280
Speaker 1: that there was there was this. It was uncomfortable at times.

1009
00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:30,040
Speaker 1: I honestly, for a lot of the date, I didn't

1010
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:32,680
Speaker 1: think she was gonna get throws. I didn't either, but

1011
00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:35,839
Speaker 1: then she wasn't there. But then she kind of like

1012
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:39,759
Speaker 1: opened up a little bit. And I think that it's

1013
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:44,080
Speaker 1: just being vulnerable. We have to be more vulnerable with

1014
00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:45,759
Speaker 1: each other. I think that's what brings us together and

1015
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:48,080
Speaker 1: helps us connect. And when we're guarded and we have

1016
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:51,360
Speaker 1: these walls up, it's just so hard to connect and

1017
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:54,080
Speaker 1: break through. And I think that once she finally did that,

1018
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:57,520
Speaker 1: I think I think you can tell Colton loves just

1019
00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:02,000
Speaker 1: authenticity and connection and it's almost like he finally got

1020
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:04,200
Speaker 1: that from her and was like, Okay, cool, Now let's

1021
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:06,480
Speaker 1: let's see if maybe there's more, you know. And I

1022
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:09,680
Speaker 1: think that's why I gave her the rose. Yeah, it

1023
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:12,480
Speaker 1: was surprising to me that she got through a rose.

1024
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:15,359
Speaker 1: There's also a surprising piece in this episode, and it's

1025
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:17,960
Speaker 1: how the episode ends. But before we do that, we've

1026
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:21,760
Speaker 1: got to catch up, uh with our co host Michelle

00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:29,560
Speaker 1: through the coffee farms of Central America. So yes, I

1064
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:31,640
Speaker 1: will be gone next week, and so you'll make up

1065
00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:34,320
Speaker 1: for everything there. I do want to tell all all

1066
00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:36,480
Speaker 1: of our listeners out there, the announcement that Jared and

1067
00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:39,479
Speaker 1: Naturally are making is a big deal. It's really cool.

1068
00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:42,080
Speaker 1: I'm really proud of the both of them. I look

1069
00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:44,320
Speaker 1: up to both of them in a lot of ways.

1070
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:47,040
Speaker 1: And so make sure you check out Good Morning America.

1071
00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:49,560
Speaker 1: But if you can't watch Good Morning America tomorrow, I

1072
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:52,680
Speaker 1: guarantee you it will be all over social. So tomorrow

Speaker 1: at about I don't know, ten a m. Eastern, just

1074
00:57:57,200 --> 00:57:59,120
Speaker 1: go to social channels see what's going on. This is

1075
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:01,800
Speaker 1: a really really cool deal. H Speaking of cool deals,

1076
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:03,720
Speaker 1: we're here to talk about the Bachelor. Michelle has done

1077
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:07,000
Speaker 1: a great job today. Ashley. We've had a couple of

1078
00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:09,840
Speaker 1: great guests who have broke down the episode with us

1079
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:12,640
Speaker 1: and to kind of summarize, because I know you're coming

1080
00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:16,000
Speaker 1: in at the end here, what is your thoughts on

1081
00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:20,200
Speaker 1: this episode in general, not breaking down each moment, but Ashley,

1082
00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:23,800
Speaker 1: we're seeing a trend women are leaving on their own,

1083
00:58:24,560 --> 00:58:26,600
Speaker 1: which you know, Michelle and I are both saying, is

1084
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:28,880
Speaker 1: is a great move on the woman's part. If they're

1085
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:31,120
Speaker 1: not feeling it, they're they're taking control and they're taking

1086
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 1: ownership in and they're saying this isn't for me, But

1087
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 1: we also I saw a very heated one on one

1088
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:42,920
Speaker 1: with Hannah G that we explained as erotic. Um Ashley

1089
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:45,240
Speaker 1: that you take it from there because I know you'll

1090
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:48,640
Speaker 1: do a great job and explain the rest. I do

1091
00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:53,920
Speaker 1: think the Hannah G date was super physical, and I like,

1092
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:59,440
Speaker 1: I think their relationship is based pretty much on physical chemistry.

1093
00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:03,440
Speaker 1: But when I said this last week, Rachel said that

1094
00:59:03,600 --> 00:59:06,800
Speaker 1: she and Brian's relationship appeared on screen to just be

1095
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:10,919
Speaker 1: physical as well, but they cut of all the all

1096
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:14,680
Speaker 1: the substance to it. So Rachel was like, that's the

1097
00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:17,800
Speaker 1: way they portrayed our relationship, but that isn't really the

1098
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:20,680
Speaker 1: best part of our relationship. Even though that part is great,

1099
00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:24,760
Speaker 1: it's not what kept us together. So perhaps with Hannah Gy,

1100
00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:28,520
Speaker 1: because she is like so sexy, they're just kind of

1101
00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:31,000
Speaker 1: focusing on that, even though there's a lot of other

1102
00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:33,960
Speaker 1: things they could have been focusing on. But I don't

1103
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:36,720
Speaker 1: think like there's a whole bunch of like electricity when

1104
00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:39,400
Speaker 1: they talk, Like when they had their sit down part

1105
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:43,880
Speaker 1: of the date, what do you think. I don't know,

1106
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:47,880
Speaker 1: ash we were just discussing it. You're not wrong. Um.

1107
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:50,120
Speaker 1: We we were glad and happy to get to hear

1108
00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:53,480
Speaker 1: a little bit more of Hannah's story because the one

1109
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:55,880
Speaker 1: part that really frustrated me with this episode, and I

1110
00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:58,200
Speaker 1: think it's gonna get overlooked. Honestly, I don't know if

1111
00:59:58,200 --> 01:00:02,280
Speaker 1: the listeners are gonna um react as as much as

1112
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:05,240
Speaker 1: maybe we did is the Cassie Kalin, which I think

1113
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:07,720
Speaker 1: actually was mostly Kalin, but they were kind of saying

1114
01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:09,840
Speaker 1: Hannah g has just always lived off of her looks

1115
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:13,120
Speaker 1: because her depth isn't there. I don't love when people

1116
01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:15,640
Speaker 1: say that. That's not a great thing to say about anybody.

1117
01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:17,560
Speaker 1: And I thought on this day we actually got to

1118
01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:20,400
Speaker 1: see a little bit more of what you know, kind

1119
01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:22,360
Speaker 1: of depth Handa G has, and I think it's quite

1120
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:25,960
Speaker 1: a bit. Do you think that really talking about her

1121
01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:29,200
Speaker 1: parents divorce gives her depth? Well, this is what I think,

1122
01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:34,400
Speaker 1: and I took to your comment. I think under those circumstances,

1123
01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:37,160
Speaker 1: for her it did feel like maybe to like you

1124
01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:38,800
Speaker 1: and I, that doesn't seem like a lot of depth,

1125
01:00:38,840 --> 01:00:41,400
Speaker 1: But I think for her she seemed to. It seemed

1126
01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:44,480
Speaker 1: to be a really emotional like experience that she did

1127
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:47,800
Speaker 1: doesn't talk about a lot like you know, she just

1128
01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:52,760
Speaker 1: it did seem like this real kind of traumatic experience

1129
01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:55,920
Speaker 1: for her that she opened up and shared that seemed

1130
01:00:55,960 --> 01:00:58,600
Speaker 1: authentic to me. I felt it, you know, whether it

1131
01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:01,840
Speaker 1: was super you know, I think there's certain people who

1132
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:03,400
Speaker 1: can talk about the stuff all day, all night, but

1133
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:05,120
Speaker 1: I think for her, you could tell it was something

1134
01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:07,160
Speaker 1: that was hard to talk about, and by doing so,

1135
01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:10,000
Speaker 1: I think that it helped them connect on a deeper level.

1136
01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:14,080
Speaker 1: And I think she does have um that sexual energy

1137
01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:17,280
Speaker 1: about her. But I think that, like you were saying, actually,

1138
01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:19,080
Speaker 1: I think a lot of stuff gets cut out, and

1139
01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:21,200
Speaker 1: Colton doesn't strike me as the type of person who's

1140
01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:23,600
Speaker 1: like just wants to sit and make out and not

1141
01:01:23,720 --> 01:01:27,160
Speaker 1: have a conversation. I mean, we know Colton better than Hannah,

1142
01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:29,040
Speaker 1: and I don't think the Coltons just sitting there going like, yeah,

1143
01:01:29,080 --> 01:01:31,120
Speaker 1: let's head to the shower now, now let's go have

1144
01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:34,040
Speaker 1: a mud bath now, you know, Like, I'm sure there

1145
01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:36,880
Speaker 1: was really great conversation that happens to that we didn't

1146
01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:44,120
Speaker 1: see that. He doesn't strike me as that type of guy. Um,

1147
01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:49,200
Speaker 1: so I do think it's yeah, right, So that was

1148
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:52,000
Speaker 1: probably the most sexual things we've ever seen from the show.

1149
01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:56,840
Speaker 1: I think so too, Man, I was turned on. I

1150
01:01:56,880 --> 01:01:58,720
Speaker 1: think you're right. I think you're right. And now that

1151
01:01:58,840 --> 01:02:03,000
Speaker 1: you bring it up way she did describe her dad

1152
01:02:03,080 --> 01:02:07,120
Speaker 1: and mowing the lawn and all that very visually was

1153
01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:10,280
Speaker 1: more of like the storytelling that I think he probably

1154
01:02:10,280 --> 01:02:13,840
Speaker 1: doesn't usually do. Yeah, I guess what we were trying

1155
01:02:13,880 --> 01:02:16,000
Speaker 1: I guess, And what I was trying to say is,

1156
01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:19,919
Speaker 1: I think it's easy to assume that, you know, under

1157
01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:22,960
Speaker 1: those circumstances, you've got all these girls together, that you're

1158
01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:25,960
Speaker 1: kind of feeling jealousy and competitive, it's hard to open

1159
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:28,400
Speaker 1: up sometimes, and so we just assume that there are

1160
01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:32,680
Speaker 1: these like pretty little, you know, like shiny things, when

1161
01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:35,360
Speaker 1: the truth is that there's probably a lot more depth

1162
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:38,840
Speaker 1: um that they have to them that Ay, we're not

1163
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:41,440
Speaker 1: seeing because maybe it's been edited out and and b

1164
01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:44,080
Speaker 1: we're not giving enough credit to when they finally do

1165
01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:48,840
Speaker 1: feel like they can be vulnerable enough to have the conversation.

1166
01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:50,960
Speaker 1: And there's a lot going on in this episode was

1167
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:52,840
Speaker 1: a lot. I mean, we got to the hand of

1168
01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:57,480
Speaker 1: Gee one on one. Obviously, we we sat through a

1169
01:02:57,520 --> 01:02:59,480
Speaker 1: one on one Kurpa that I just I don't know,

1170
01:02:59,560 --> 01:03:04,120
Speaker 1: I just don't see the chemistry. I don't chemistry. List

1171
01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:07,680
Speaker 1: their body language was so off. Yeah, I didn't think

1172
01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:09,920
Speaker 1: she was going to make it around very much longer.

1173
01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:13,240
Speaker 1: Um And actually I want to close with all of

1174
01:03:13,320 --> 01:03:17,040
Speaker 1: us kind of talking about the Demi situation. So Colton

1175
01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:19,640
Speaker 1: gets back to his room. We have Demi, who has

1176
01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:23,560
Speaker 1: grown on me tremendously throughout the season. The first couple episodes,

1177
01:03:23,560 --> 01:03:25,960
Speaker 1: I was like, what are we getting into here? But

1178
01:03:26,080 --> 01:03:29,880
Speaker 1: as the season has continued, Demmi is just this this

1179
01:03:29,920 --> 01:03:33,400
Speaker 1: person I've been rooting for and like in the most

1180
01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:35,960
Speaker 1: genuine of ways. And I'm really sad to see her

1181
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:38,440
Speaker 1: go home, even though I think her wanting to go

1182
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:43,400
Speaker 1: see Colton to take his virginity as a terrible, terrible idea.

1183
01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:46,760
Speaker 1: I don't think that was what. That sounded so edited

1184
01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:48,840
Speaker 1: to me. That was that didn't not I don't think

1185
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:52,280
Speaker 1: that was her intention. But I might agree with you, Michelle,

1186
01:03:52,280 --> 01:03:54,680
Speaker 1: I think that'finitingly to would have said earlier in the sea. Yeah,

1187
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:58,160
Speaker 1: I don't think that was what. I don't know who

1188
01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:00,240
Speaker 1: knows what Demi though. That's the thing about Demi is

1189
01:04:00,240 --> 01:04:05,080
Speaker 1: you're like, yeah, bro, whatever, Yeah, I think they're not.

1190
01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:08,440
Speaker 1: She she walks into the Colton situation, and I'll be honest,

1191
01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:11,280
Speaker 1: I was really sad to see Demi go home. I

1192
01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:14,080
Speaker 1: want to hear the two of you talk about this

1193
01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:18,680
Speaker 1: because Demi has became one of my favorite characters. Uh.

1194
01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:21,200
Speaker 1: And actually you've been supportive and a fan of Demi

1195
01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:23,400
Speaker 1: since the beginning. I haven't, but I know that you have.

1196
01:04:23,520 --> 01:04:26,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. No, then, I haven't been like super like.

1197
01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:29,320
Speaker 1: I haven't. I've been pretty neutral about her. Some people

1198
01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:31,680
Speaker 1: love her before. I just got on my sporting today

1199
01:04:31,720 --> 01:04:34,640
Speaker 1: this girl was like, oh my god, I love Demi

1200
01:04:34,880 --> 01:04:38,120
Speaker 1: and I'm like, really like I liked her. I don't.

1201
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:41,480
Speaker 1: I don't dislike hers, but I don't feel like this

1202
01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:44,040
Speaker 1: past that so many people are showing on social media.

1203
01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:47,200
Speaker 1: I think people are liking that she keeps it real. Um.

1204
01:04:47,280 --> 01:04:49,400
Speaker 1: I think that this week was probably her time to go.

1205
01:04:50,040 --> 01:04:52,960
Speaker 1: I think she would have gone home this week whether

1206
01:04:53,080 --> 01:04:55,000
Speaker 1: or not she said I love you. But I do

1207
01:04:55,360 --> 01:04:58,720
Speaker 1: love the way that he sent her home privately instead of,

1208
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:01,720
Speaker 1: you know, at the road ceremony. After she said that,

1209
01:05:02,880 --> 01:05:05,440
Speaker 1: it was like it kind of was heart wrenching to

1210
01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:08,919
Speaker 1: watch because you could tell that she went there with

1211
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:13,040
Speaker 1: this like this grand idea of something that was going

1212
01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:15,760
Speaker 1: to go a totally different way, and it was almost

1213
01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:20,560
Speaker 1: it was kind of abrupt how he um kind of

1214
01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:22,720
Speaker 1: just didn't really beat around the bush and it was

1215
01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:25,400
Speaker 1: just like, oh, if you feel this way, then like

1216
01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:27,800
Speaker 1: it's time to go. And he's I mean he was.

1217
01:05:27,880 --> 01:05:30,080
Speaker 1: He said it in a sweet way, but um, to

1218
01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:32,000
Speaker 1: see her face, I mean, I think it was just

1219
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:34,400
Speaker 1: I do not think she was expecting that, And it

1220
01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:38,640
Speaker 1: was sad to see her kind of like put herself

1221
01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:40,680
Speaker 1: out there and kind of get kind of gets shot down.

1222
01:05:40,680 --> 01:05:43,680
Speaker 1: You know, I do like DEMI I do like her.

1223
01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:47,880
Speaker 1: Then how do you feel about people saying that Colton

1224
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:51,360
Speaker 1: is really following in your footsteps and he's the best

1225
01:05:51,360 --> 01:05:55,480
Speaker 1: battler since you and he handled himself was as much great?

1226
01:05:55,880 --> 01:06:00,400
Speaker 1: Is it because you were his mentor? I would love

1227
01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:03,400
Speaker 1: to take credit, you know, I mean, I'm getting old here.

1228
01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:05,480
Speaker 1: It's time for me to start taking credit for things

1229
01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:07,960
Speaker 1: I shouldn't be taking credit for. But no, I cannot

1230
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:10,680
Speaker 1: take credit for Colton's you know, he's He's done things

1231
01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:13,880
Speaker 1: a lot differently than I have did. Um. But I

1232
01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:16,680
Speaker 1: think the one thing you see in common is I

1233
01:06:16,720 --> 01:06:22,080
Speaker 1: think Colton really cared and hated asking women to leave.

1234
01:06:22,200 --> 01:06:25,760
Speaker 1: I think sometimes you get bachelor's and bachelorrettes who and

1235
01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:28,720
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, it doesn't affect them when they have

1236
01:06:28,760 --> 01:06:31,160
Speaker 1: to say goodbye to somebody. I think we see it

1237
01:06:31,160 --> 01:06:33,840
Speaker 1: in Colton's eyes, like it hurts him. He doesn't like it.

1238
01:06:33,840 --> 01:06:36,480
Speaker 1: It's not fun for him. It's it's tearing him up inside.

1239
01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:38,920
Speaker 1: And for me, it mean, it made me physically sick,

1240
01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:42,000
Speaker 1: like I lost weight because I was so stressed about this,

1241
01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:46,240
Speaker 1: and I honestly I think that helped me, uh take

1242
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:48,920
Speaker 1: it more serious? What did you say? I had a

1243
01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:56,880
Speaker 1: paras but every time, um, so, you know, I'm happy

1244
01:06:56,920 --> 01:06:59,640
Speaker 1: for Colton. I think that we're going to see how

1245
01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:01,959
Speaker 1: this thing plays. I I do think he'll go down

1246
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:05,800
Speaker 1: as one of the most genuine Bachelor's in history. We

1247
01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:07,680
Speaker 1: were just talking about the beginning of the podcast. Actually

1248
01:07:08,360 --> 01:07:10,800
Speaker 1: is kind of how ironic it is that his season

1249
01:07:10,880 --> 01:07:14,840
Speaker 1: started with a very popular hashtag not my Bachelor, and

1250
01:07:14,880 --> 01:07:18,840
Speaker 1: it seems to have switched right. It's so interesting. Yeah, yeah, totally.

1251
01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:22,000
Speaker 1: I want to let aybody know to look for Jared

01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:06,680
Speaker 1: love this, Michelle. I love this about the episode that

1265
01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:09,680
Speaker 1: while they're in Vietnam they bring in some of the

1266
01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:14,680
Speaker 1: Bachelor crew from Vietnam. One thing before h we actually

1267
01:08:14,680 --> 01:08:16,639
Speaker 1: talked to some of the crew from Vietnam. I want

1268
01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:19,200
Speaker 1: to mention, is you know and this year's Winter Games.

1269
01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:23,120
Speaker 1: The whole concept of Winter Games was to bring people

1270
01:08:23,160 --> 01:08:25,519
Speaker 1: from all of the world into one place, highlighting that

1271
01:08:25,560 --> 01:08:28,360
Speaker 1: The Bachelor is not just a US thing, it's an

1272
01:08:28,400 --> 01:08:32,080
Speaker 1: international event. Like the Bachelor has spread across the globe.

1273
01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:36,000
Speaker 1: It's taking over the world in a sense. And today

1274
01:08:36,040 --> 01:08:39,840
Speaker 1: we have some very special guests from Bachelor Vietnam out

1296
01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:58,960
Speaker 1: became a really really big fan of the show during

1297
01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:03,160
Speaker 1: your season because I was running a company called Marley

1298
01:10:03,320 --> 01:10:08,360
Speaker 1: Coffee out of Denver, and all my employees were such

1299
01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:12,880
Speaker 1: huge fans of yours, um that I guess pushed me

1300
01:10:12,920 --> 01:10:15,760
Speaker 1: to move back to Vietnam and wanted to produce our

1301
01:10:15,880 --> 01:10:21,040
Speaker 1: version of The Bachelor as well Marley Coffee with one

1302
01:10:21,040 --> 01:10:23,560
Speaker 1: of the Marley brothers. I have the T shirt downstairs.

1303
01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:25,320
Speaker 1: You're one of the very first people to tell me

1304
01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:28,759
Speaker 1: to start like. Your company was right next to Generous

1305
01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:33,280
Speaker 1: coffee booth at our very first ever. I remember my

1306
01:10:33,280 --> 01:10:35,800
Speaker 1: employees had taken pictures with you. They came back to

1307
01:10:35,880 --> 01:10:41,280
Speaker 1: the office as giddy as humanly possible. This is incredible, Ben,

1308
01:10:42,320 --> 01:10:48,360
Speaker 1: I kind of think so responsible for the responsible for

1309
01:10:48,479 --> 01:10:50,400
Speaker 1: The Bachelor of Vietnam as anybody else. I think we

1310
01:10:50,400 --> 01:10:55,640
Speaker 1: should put your name in the credit somewhere. Ben, I

1311
01:10:55,640 --> 01:10:57,920
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm glad this. I'm glad this podcast started

1315
01:11:04,640 --> 01:11:09,040
Speaker 1: level has just increased and I feel very very important

01:11:09,320 --> 01:11:11,680
Speaker 1: right now, and I appreciate That's a good feeling to

1317
01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:15,800
Speaker 1: feel feel appreciated. Um, you know, we've gotten to watch

1318
01:11:15,840 --> 01:11:20,520
Speaker 1: a little bit about Vietnam. Vietnam is an absolute beautiful place. Um.

1319
01:11:20,640 --> 01:11:22,400
Speaker 1: Can you run Michelle and I and the rest of

1320
01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:26,839
Speaker 1: the listeners through any differences maybe that the Bachelor Vietnam

1321
01:11:27,080 --> 01:11:32,880
Speaker 1: has compared to Bachelor USA. Yeah, I'll take this question

1322
01:11:32,880 --> 01:11:35,439
Speaker 1: real quickly. The format is the same. You know, we

1323
01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:38,120
Speaker 1: we all get the format from Mike Life, and you

1324
01:11:38,120 --> 01:11:42,040
Speaker 1: know it starts off with in our situation, twenty four

1325
01:11:42,280 --> 01:11:46,320
Speaker 1: eligible ladies and one bachelor, and the season, our season

1326
01:11:46,360 --> 01:11:50,360
Speaker 1: goes through fourteen episodes, the first episode being that of

1327
01:11:49,720 --> 01:11:53,479
Speaker 1: the Limousine team where everybody's introduced in the final episode

1328
01:11:53,520 --> 01:11:55,920
Speaker 1: is the Final Rows, then the after the Rows and

1329
01:11:56,439 --> 01:11:59,360
Speaker 1: the women tell on, and the after the Roads. So

1330
01:11:59,520 --> 01:12:02,760
Speaker 1: it struck retually very very similar. I would say the

1331
01:12:02,800 --> 01:12:08,240
Speaker 1: biggest difference probably is in the level of uh salaciousness,

1332
01:12:08,560 --> 01:12:12,880
Speaker 1: if you will, between the two countries. Um, Whereas you know,

1333
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:16,280
Speaker 1: Vietnam is still quite a conservative country just because of

1334
01:12:16,320 --> 01:12:20,000
Speaker 1: the culture out there. We didn't see kissing on air,

1335
01:12:20,400 --> 01:12:23,559
Speaker 1: even though it happened before then until the final episode

1336
01:12:23,560 --> 01:12:28,840
Speaker 1: when he uh more or less proposes to the winner. Yes,

1337
01:12:30,400 --> 01:12:33,519
Speaker 1: a whole different show. Yeah, I think the whole season.

1338
01:12:33,600 --> 01:12:37,160
Speaker 1: Maybe he kissed three girls, which is an average one

1339
01:12:37,240 --> 01:12:41,200
Speaker 1: single cocktail party in the American bachant, And I think

1340
01:12:41,520 --> 01:12:43,680
Speaker 1: other things that are different about the show and not

1341
01:12:43,760 --> 01:12:45,680
Speaker 1: in the structure, but kind of like what happened in

1342
01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:48,479
Speaker 1: our first season is that this show was really not

1343
01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:51,240
Speaker 1: just about women trying to lie for a guy. It's

1344
01:12:51,240 --> 01:12:55,200
Speaker 1: really the batteck showing that he's worthy of the women's

1345
01:12:55,240 --> 01:12:59,200
Speaker 1: attention and time uniquely on uniquely on our first episode,

1346
01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:04,000
Speaker 1: in the first blow ceremony, actually three women declined his rows.

1347
01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:07,360
Speaker 1: One woman he was able to convince to come back

1348
01:13:07,439 --> 01:13:10,160
Speaker 1: that he had a major connection with. But yeah, these

1349
01:13:10,439 --> 01:13:14,320
Speaker 1: women are like very strong, They're like very serious about

1350
01:13:14,360 --> 01:13:16,479
Speaker 1: their time and being here for love and whether it's

1351
01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:20,960
Speaker 1: the right fit for them. So it gave an unique flavor. Yeah,

1352
01:13:21,080 --> 01:13:25,040
Speaker 1: he had to really work very hard every single episode.

1353
01:13:25,479 --> 01:13:28,080
Speaker 1: And just to tell you, as the producer of the show,

1354
01:13:28,560 --> 01:13:31,160
Speaker 1: we were freaking out every single night that the women

1355
01:13:31,160 --> 01:13:33,240
Speaker 1: would leave him, not that he would be able to

1356
01:13:33,320 --> 01:13:35,800
Speaker 1: charm the women. But he was, and he was great.

1357
01:13:35,920 --> 01:13:37,760
Speaker 1: Our Bachelor was great. He charmed the heck out of

1358
01:13:37,800 --> 01:13:40,480
Speaker 1: the women. A lot of them fell in love with him.

1359
01:13:40,560 --> 01:13:45,160
Speaker 1: But it definitely the power dynamics, like on two was indicating, UH,

1360
01:13:45,640 --> 01:13:48,519
Speaker 1: is definitely that the power exists within the women and

1361
01:13:48,560 --> 01:13:51,320
Speaker 1: that he had to be you know, extra extra charming

1362
01:13:51,920 --> 01:13:54,760
Speaker 1: in each episode. Is that more of a like a

1363
01:13:54,800 --> 01:13:58,120
Speaker 1: production or is that a cultural thing that you know

1364
01:13:58,160 --> 01:14:00,080
Speaker 1: the women feel like, Yeah, he has to impress me

1365
01:14:00,160 --> 01:14:02,599
Speaker 1: also because for years I felt like the bachelor bachelor

1366
01:14:03,280 --> 01:14:05,920
Speaker 1: was sought after and that nobody was really ever leaving

1367
01:14:05,920 --> 01:14:10,040
Speaker 1: on their own accord. Yeah, definitely that I think you

1368
01:14:10,120 --> 01:14:12,280
Speaker 1: hit it right in the head. It's a cultural thing

1369
01:14:12,640 --> 01:14:16,080
Speaker 1: in Vietnam where women actually hold a lot more power.

1370
01:14:16,479 --> 01:14:20,840
Speaker 1: Um in this country, they're they're seen as the backbone

1371
01:14:20,840 --> 01:14:23,679
Speaker 1: of society and that they have are on equal footing.

1372
01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:26,240
Speaker 1: And so for a show like this, when we first

1373
01:14:26,240 --> 01:14:28,519
Speaker 1: try to get it off the you know, on the air,

1374
01:14:28,840 --> 01:14:32,160
Speaker 1: we got a lot of pushback from the UH from

1375
01:14:32,160 --> 01:14:35,320
Speaker 1: both the sensors as well as the TV station about

1376
01:14:35,680 --> 01:14:38,120
Speaker 1: is this a misogynistic type show because that's not really

1377
01:14:38,120 --> 01:14:40,840
Speaker 1: the culture of Vietnam. But we explained to them is that,

1378
01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:44,439
Speaker 1: you know, it's ostensibly you know, a fight for love

1379
01:14:44,720 --> 01:14:48,200
Speaker 1: and you know, if you convey it well enough, then

1380
01:14:48,320 --> 01:14:51,719
Speaker 1: it's showed in a way where you know, all parties

1381
01:14:51,720 --> 01:14:54,880
Speaker 1: are truly seeking out you know, love on a show

1382
01:14:55,320 --> 01:14:57,360
Speaker 1: and uh And in the end for our show, it

1383
01:14:57,439 --> 01:14:59,360
Speaker 1: balanced out in the way that he had to try

1384
01:14:59,360 --> 01:15:03,040
Speaker 1: out just as hard as the girls did. And some

1385
01:15:03,080 --> 01:15:06,120
Speaker 1: of our contestants even mentioned that too. On our Women

1386
01:15:06,200 --> 01:15:09,080
Speaker 1: Tell All, they answered, what do you think of critiques

1387
01:15:09,160 --> 01:15:12,680
Speaker 1: that are you devaluing yourself by trying to compete for

1388
01:15:12,720 --> 01:15:16,240
Speaker 1: a man? And one of our contestants and said, very eloquently,

1389
01:15:16,360 --> 01:15:19,479
Speaker 1: is like, I think a value woman is. A woman's

1390
01:15:19,520 --> 01:15:21,639
Speaker 1: value is in knowing what she wants and then being

1391
01:15:21,680 --> 01:15:24,080
Speaker 1: able to go after this. If you know your to

1392
01:15:24,240 --> 01:15:26,720
Speaker 1: value as women, no one can ever tell you your

1393
01:15:26,800 --> 01:15:29,439
Speaker 1: value or devalue you. So that's why the women on

1394
01:15:29,520 --> 01:15:33,519
Speaker 1: our show phone very empowered or felt right on their

1395
01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:36,280
Speaker 1: own journey to be there. That's so beautiful. Is there

1396
01:15:36,320 --> 01:15:39,160
Speaker 1: a way for us to watch your season? There are

1397
01:15:39,280 --> 01:15:43,360
Speaker 1: clips on so on our YouTube channel and on our

1398
01:15:43,400 --> 01:15:48,080
Speaker 1: Facebook page. Um, whole episodes are not available, but we

1399
01:15:48,320 --> 01:15:52,240
Speaker 1: have best of moments. I'm going to check those out. Yeah.

1400
01:15:52,280 --> 01:15:54,479
Speaker 1: I think this is so interesting and it really is

1401
01:15:55,080 --> 01:15:57,479
Speaker 1: is terrific to kind of connect everybody from all the world.

1402
01:15:57,479 --> 01:15:59,280
Speaker 1: That's what I loved about Winner Games, and I thought

1403
01:15:59,280 --> 01:16:01,200
Speaker 1: the concept win a Games was terrific and that's why

1404
01:16:01,240 --> 01:16:04,080
Speaker 1: I did it. Uh. You know, your team in Vietnam

1405
01:16:04,120 --> 01:16:07,320
Speaker 1: has now produced a Bachelor. It's aired. How did it

1406
01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:09,799
Speaker 1: go over? How is the reaction? Is it as big

1407
01:16:09,840 --> 01:16:14,839
Speaker 1: in Vietnam as it is in the US? Oh? Great question.

1408
01:16:14,920 --> 01:16:18,559
Speaker 1: I mean I think the season one, uh, it went

1409
01:16:18,680 --> 01:16:22,160
Speaker 1: over really well because of the curiosity factor, especially with

1410
01:16:22,240 --> 01:16:26,679
Speaker 1: people who were watching the clips online. UM, on TV.

1411
01:16:26,840 --> 01:16:29,360
Speaker 1: It was a highly rated show. UM, probably not like

1412
01:16:29,479 --> 01:16:32,280
Speaker 1: number one show like it is in America, but uh,

1413
01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:35,439
Speaker 1: you know, we had some great, great moments that just

1414
01:16:35,680 --> 01:16:39,000
Speaker 1: made the whole country talk about the show. UM. And

1415
01:16:39,040 --> 01:16:41,520
Speaker 1: I think, you know, one of the big moments, obviously,

1416
01:16:41,640 --> 01:16:45,120
Speaker 1: is that we had the moment where two women uh

1417
01:16:45,600 --> 01:16:48,720
Speaker 1: declared their love for each other during the rose ceremony,

1418
01:16:49,080 --> 01:16:53,160
Speaker 1: and that was hugely talked about, you know in Vietnam,

1419
01:16:53,280 --> 01:16:56,400
Speaker 1: but even more so on a global scale. And then

1420
01:16:56,439 --> 01:16:59,719
Speaker 1: at the end there was a scandal with the winner

1421
01:16:59,760 --> 01:17:03,519
Speaker 1: not disclosing the fact that uh she was a single

1422
01:17:03,560 --> 01:17:06,760
Speaker 1: mom um, which you know, really upset a lot of

1423
01:17:06,760 --> 01:17:08,439
Speaker 1: the girls on the show, as well as a lot

1424
01:17:08,479 --> 01:17:11,360
Speaker 1: of the fans. So, you know, despite the ups and down,

1425
01:17:11,360 --> 01:17:14,360
Speaker 1: I thought that the season went exceptionally well, and and

1426
01:17:14,360 --> 01:17:18,320
Speaker 1: and and people really, you know, resonated with the fact that,

1427
01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:20,439
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of these things are just absolutely

1428
01:17:20,479 --> 01:17:23,840
Speaker 1: real moments, uh, in these people's lives. So is there

1429
01:17:23,880 --> 01:17:25,960
Speaker 1: going to be a Bachelor? You know? I think we're

1430
01:17:25,960 --> 01:17:28,960
Speaker 1: going to do two more seasons of The Bachelor so

1431
01:17:29,280 --> 01:17:33,280
Speaker 1: that the stands out here will really understand the format

1432
01:17:33,280 --> 01:17:36,240
Speaker 1: of the show before we move on to the Bachelorette.

1433
01:17:37,680 --> 01:17:42,160
Speaker 1: How crazy is this? Michelle, The Bachelor's internationally known. I'm

1434
01:17:42,160 --> 01:17:45,880
Speaker 1: telling you all the Vietnam had a Bachelor to watch

1435
01:17:45,920 --> 01:17:48,479
Speaker 1: this year. Can you imagine these polarizing storylines? I mean

1436
01:17:48,880 --> 01:17:51,360
Speaker 1: I read about the two women leaving that they found

1437
01:17:51,439 --> 01:17:53,880
Speaker 1: love for each other on the show here in the US,

1438
01:17:53,920 --> 01:17:57,720
Speaker 1: it was a global headline and and all in your

1439
01:17:57,800 --> 01:18:00,759
Speaker 1: first season of filming a show. This is a wild part.

1440
01:18:00,880 --> 01:18:03,000
Speaker 1: And for everybody out there listening, this is the weirdest

1441
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:06,080
Speaker 1: wild part about The Bachelor. Remain right. I participated in

1442
01:18:06,160 --> 01:18:09,760
Speaker 1: Michelle participated in it. We have two producers that that

1443
01:18:09,840 --> 01:18:13,360
Speaker 1: work this show on the line as well. Somehow everybody

1444
01:18:13,360 --> 01:18:16,280
Speaker 1: always asked me, how scripted is it? How how format

1445
01:18:16,320 --> 01:18:17,760
Speaker 1: it is? I'm like, it's a format, right, there is

1446
01:18:17,800 --> 01:18:22,160
Speaker 1: a format. It's an environment. But every year, time, over time,

1447
01:18:22,439 --> 01:18:25,240
Speaker 1: something new happens. Some you get a new personality, you

1448
01:18:25,280 --> 01:18:26,960
Speaker 1: get a new person in there, you get a new

1449
01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:30,960
Speaker 1: Bachelor Bachelor, and you get storylines that you've never seen before.

1450
01:18:31,520 --> 01:18:35,160
Speaker 1: Bachelor Vietnam. You did not fall short of putting together

1451
01:18:35,240 --> 01:18:37,320
Speaker 1: a great show. And you also, I want to tell

1452
01:18:37,360 --> 01:18:40,240

01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:11,559
Speaker 1: Thank you? It's uh, isn't it wild? Michelle? How is

1460
01:19:11,600 --> 01:19:14,360
Speaker 1: it all? Because of for this? I would like to

1461
01:19:14,400 --> 01:19:17,800
Speaker 1: take a beat and just recap that, like, how does

1462
01:19:17,880 --> 01:19:21,160
Speaker 1: that feel for you? It's it's actually kind of one

1463
01:19:21,200 --> 01:19:24,320
Speaker 1: of them, maybe weirdest things that's ever happened on this podcast,

1464
01:19:24,439 --> 01:19:28,960
Speaker 1: to be responsible for people finding love in Vietnam and

1465
01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:31,439
Speaker 1: I never even have noted. I would have never known

1466
01:19:31,479 --> 01:19:37,840
Speaker 1: it until this interview. Kind of crazy. I mean, it's

1467
01:19:37,920 --> 01:19:42,080
Speaker 1: it's honestly, it's hilarious. But in all seriousness, it's once

1468
01:19:42,080 --> 01:19:43,960
Speaker 1: again a reason why when people ask me, are you

1469
01:19:44,040 --> 01:19:46,519
Speaker 1: glad you did the show or uh, you know, do

1470
01:19:46,560 --> 01:19:48,479
Speaker 1: you regret doing this show? And it's like, no, because

1471
01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:50,640
Speaker 1: my life is is awesome. I get to do a

1472
01:19:50,640 --> 01:19:53,000
Speaker 1: lot of cool things now and yeah, you know, the

1473
01:19:53,040 --> 01:19:54,920
Speaker 1: love parton didn't work out for me, but so many

1474
01:19:54,920 --> 01:19:57,320
Speaker 1: other things did. And then I get to hear stories

1475
01:19:57,360 --> 01:20:01,160
Speaker 1: like this, and I'm like, people in Vietnam, maybe no,

1476
01:20:01,439 --> 01:20:03,400
Speaker 1: a little bit of who I am, Like, that's kind

1477
01:20:03,400 --> 01:20:07,719
Speaker 1: of cool, really cool. Then it's really cool. I think

1478
01:20:08,200 --> 01:20:10,240
Speaker 1: that was cool. That's exciting. I'm gonna have to watch

1479
01:20:10,280 --> 01:20:11,920
Speaker 1: that clip. I didn't I didn't know that that was

1480
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:15,360
Speaker 1: this viral clip. So so two girls fell in love

1481
01:20:15,400 --> 01:20:17,960
Speaker 1: with each other on the show. Yeah, it was a

1482
01:20:17,960 --> 01:20:21,280
Speaker 1: global headline. Can you imagine in the first season of

1483
01:20:21,360 --> 01:20:25,640
Speaker 1: Bachelor Vietnam something like this happens and and obviously it became, uh,

1484
01:20:26,040 --> 01:20:28,280
Speaker 1: like I said, became global. People were talking about it

1485
01:20:28,280 --> 01:20:31,880
Speaker 1: was on all the national news networks. Um. But once again,

1486
01:20:31,920 --> 01:20:34,120
Speaker 1: it's it's one of those stories that the Bachelor, you know,

1487
01:20:34,200 --> 01:20:36,760
Speaker 1: creates and finds love no matter what. I don't know,

1488
01:20:37,240 --> 01:20:40,040
Speaker 1: uh if the two women are together still or not.

1489
01:20:41,120 --> 01:20:43,439
Speaker 1: But how cool is it that, at least for a

1490
01:20:43,439 --> 01:20:49,240
Speaker 1: short time they found love interest from the Bachelor. How crazy?

1491
01:20:50,120 --> 01:20:54,400
Speaker 1: Another great interview. Thanks Bachelor Vietnam for coming on. We

1492
01:20:54,439 --> 01:20:57,320
Speaker 1: can't forget that. Where was a row ceremony? This week

Speaker 1: on the show is somebody that we pretty much know

1498
01:21:14,080 --> 01:21:16,840
Speaker 1: fairly intimately. Like we get there, they've been on a

1499
01:21:16,880 --> 01:21:19,840
Speaker 1: one on one, we've got another past. Uh, they have

1500
01:21:19,880 --> 01:21:22,040
Speaker 1: a relationship with Colton. So this is kind of the

Speaker 1: This week, and our our correspondent Mark is into with

1529
01:22:58,800 --> 01:23:02,439
Speaker 1: us right now with a special shill outbreak. Well, people

1530
01:23:02,439 --> 01:23:05,280
Speaker 1: are very concerned about the situation with Cassie and whether

1531
01:23:05,400 --> 01:23:08,240
Speaker 1: or not she's on the Bachelor. She's on a different

1532
01:23:08,240 --> 01:23:10,280
Speaker 1: show at the same time, and people are freaking out

1533
01:23:10,320 --> 01:23:12,160
Speaker 1: about it. And I'm here to set the record straight, Ben,

1534
01:23:13,520 --> 01:23:15,720
Speaker 1: I want to hear it. Well, she's on a show

1535
01:23:15,720 --> 01:23:17,760
Speaker 1: called Young Once. There's another dating show that follows a

1536
01:23:17,800 --> 01:23:20,240
Speaker 1: diverse group of recent graduates from Christian College. We are

1537
01:23:20,240 --> 01:23:24,280
Speaker 1: now navigating dating, marriage debts, and career decisions. Blah blah blah. Well,

1538
01:23:24,439 --> 01:23:28,519
Speaker 1: she did that and then she went back and did

1539
01:23:28,520 --> 01:23:31,240
Speaker 1: some reshoots. But she and the guy that she's dating

1540
01:23:31,280 --> 01:23:32,920
Speaker 1: on the show have come out and said, look, there's

1541
01:23:32,960 --> 01:23:35,200
Speaker 1: nothing going on here. We wish each other the best,

1542
01:23:35,280 --> 01:23:39,000
Speaker 1: but we are not together anymore. So don't worry. That's

1543
01:23:39,040 --> 01:23:41,679
Speaker 1: not her forever person. She's not cheating on him going

1544
01:23:41,720 --> 01:23:44,160
Speaker 1: on the Bachelor. That was done a while ago. She

1545
01:23:44,240 --> 01:23:47,479
Speaker 1: had a clean slate going onto the Bachelor. Mark, I

1546
01:23:47,520 --> 01:23:48,920
Speaker 1: know you've talked to a couple of people on the

1547
01:23:48,920 --> 01:23:52,320
Speaker 1: inside here. Do you think or does anybody think this

1548
01:23:52,400 --> 01:23:56,479
Speaker 1: is going to affect Colton and Cassie's relationship on the show.

1549
01:23:56,960 --> 01:23:59,400
Speaker 1: They do not think that's going to affect them whatsoever,

1550
01:23:59,439 --> 01:24:02,880
Speaker 1: because this was a clean situation. Cassie has no interest

1551
01:24:02,880 --> 01:24:05,759
Speaker 1: in this guy. This guy has no interest in Cassie,

1552
01:24:05,800 --> 01:24:07,720
Speaker 1: although I think there might be a little bitterness on

1553
01:24:07,800 --> 01:24:10,799
Speaker 1: his part, it's not going to affect Colton. Colton understands

1554
01:24:10,840 --> 01:24:14,160
Speaker 1: the situation moving forward. Mark thinks so much great work,

1555
01:24:14,240 --> 01:24:17,559
Speaker 1: my pleasure. It's so glad to clear that up. I

1556
01:24:17,640 --> 01:24:19,960
