But I want to 61 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 1: catch up with you a bit. Last time we talked 62 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: to you in the In Depth. You're kind of a nomad. 63 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: You're you're kind of moving around the country, spending some 64 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 1: time with friends. Where are you at right now? Has 65 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 1: life changed? Are you still kind of traveling around? Yeah, 66 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm currently in New York City in Manhattan. 67 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: I I live at the SOHO Grant like the monopoly man. 68 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: But it's all, it's all. It's getting closer to UM, 69 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 1: to conclusion, conclusion, I should say. I. UM, I've decided 70 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: to become bi coastal and split my time between Cinema 71 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: and Manhattan. UM. Shortly, very very soon, I'm actually out 72 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: here looking at that homes. So what do you mind 73 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: sharing kind of what has caused that? What? Why is 74 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: that the decision? UM? I think that, you know, given 75 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: given the state and everyone's ability to to work remote 76 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: and UM, and for me like loving both places so much, 77 00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: it's hard for me. It's hard for me to choose one. 78 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: I mean almost so lovely and AWFUM, but it's it's 79 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: slow for someone who's you know, and it's still single. 80 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: But all my friends have started to move back there 81 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: with their families and my families there, so those things 82 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: are very important. UM. But then being able to to 83 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: be in New York City, which is someplace that I've 84 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: always wanted to live. I've talked about it forever. Um, 85 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: it's kind of like a dream come true. Really. It's uh, 86 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: you know, how is New York doing you? You hear stories, 87 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: um that the city is struggling right now, it's pretty quiet. 88 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: Do you feel that way? And um? And if so, 89 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: are you gonna be a part of bringing people back 90 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: into that city or you have you not been there 91 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: long enough to tell? Uh? You know, I've been here 92 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: a couple of times during COVID and this this this time, 93 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: this current trip is is an extended stay for you know, 94 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 1: three plus weeks. Um, it feels fine to me. Ben 95 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 1: I you know, I know, I know everybody like reads 96 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 1: into the news and the media, but like the New Yorkers, 97 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 1: I'm not technically a New Yorker, but I love the 98 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,359 Speaker 1: people from New York. They're all still here and they're 99 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: doing it, and they're keeping this place alive. And um, 100 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 1: people are you know, brunching and and dining and and 101 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: doing doing their thing. Um, you know, with with caution, obviously, 102 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: it doesn't seem like anyone's going going crazy. There's everyone's 103 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: wearing masks and doing doing what they should be doing. Yeah, 104 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 1: you know, it's a it's a city I love. I 105 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: love New York, um, and it's hard. It's hard to 106 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: hear when you hear the stories that it's not doing well, 107 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: that it's quiet, that they don't know until next year 108 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: it's gonna get back. And you know, New York has 109 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: that grit to it. The people of New York. Um. 110 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: You know, they fight traffic every day, they walk the 111 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: streets of day gets cold and wendy. They have grit. 112 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: They love the city and it's good to hear that 113 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: people are sticking around. Um. And you know what, hey, 114 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: if you can do it, being bicoastal seems like an amazing, 115 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 1: amazing way to live life. Yeah, I'd love airplanes too, 116 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: So like the journey back and forth is just as 117 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 1: good as both destinations for me. Although you know, flying 118 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,479 Speaker 1: right now is is different and you need to be 119 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: courteous and cordial of others. Um so, But but I 120 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: I don't mind the flight. Have you been back home 121 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 1: since the last time we talked to you? Yeah, I was. 122 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,039 Speaker 1: I actually was back in in marin and Sonoma for 123 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: the past a few weeks. I was in Los Angeles, 124 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: I was in San Diego. I've been kind of kind 125 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: of here, there and everywhere. I'm trying to figure it 126 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: all out. It was nice being home. I actually started, Um, 127 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: it was nice. I was living with my sister, which 128 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: was like the first time ever, and she has uh, 129 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 1: I have a two and a half year old niece, 130 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 1: her daughter, and we started filming these little cooking shows 131 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: together and it was just like really nice to be 132 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: home and connect with with her and she's a sweet 133 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:57,159 Speaker 1: pee Ah. Well, before we're moving to the kind of 134 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 1: the not the surprise we've talked about before, but the 135 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: thing that will be doing with the almost famous podcast 136 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: and you, um, you know, we caught you on the 137 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: front end of this this trip. What have you learned? 138 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: I know this was this was kind of an exploration 139 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: your your heart was wide open to is there anything 140 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: that you want to share that you've learned through this journey? Um? 141 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 1: You know, I think you you talk about this a 142 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: lot too, And I think this is a really important 143 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: character trait and it's something that I've always kind of 144 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: prided myself on it and it's empathy. And I think 145 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: that having traveled around and tried to discover what what 146 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: what makes me happy? Professionally and personally. Like at the 147 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: end of the day, all the people that I've seen 148 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: in all the places that I've been, empathy and being 149 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: empathetic to everyone's situation. Um, not that I you know, 150 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: it wasn't before, but I'm probably even more so now. 151 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: You never know what anyone's going through, especially this year. Um, 152 00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: so you never I was never quick to past judgment 153 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: and maybe I had done that before, but now it's 154 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: like try to talk to as many people as you can, 155 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: even with your mask on, and treat everyone with with 156 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: a ton of respect because we're all going through something 157 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: and that's that's the biggest thing. I think the biggest 158 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: tape will take away empathy. I think travel does that, man, 159 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 1: I really do. I think travel or you know, if 160 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: you're if you're able to travel, no matter where it 161 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: is a different town, a different county, a different state, 162 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: a different country, a different continent. Um, when you travel 163 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: and you see the lives of others, like for example, 164 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: we talked about it here. Um, actually I don't know 165 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: if we have yet. You know, we do a lot 166 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 1: of work in Honduras, and Honduras was just you know, 167 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: Honduras is I as of last year, it was the 168 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: second poorest um country per capita in the world, I think, 169 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 1: only behind Haiti. And when you hear that as a 170 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 1: stat uh, it doesn't make a lot of sense, right. 171 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 1: You can hear and you're like, oh, people are poor there. 172 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: But when you go and you visit and you spend 173 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,199 Speaker 1: time with these people, and you see the way they 174 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: have to live life, and you see the stories, and 175 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: you hear the stories of people walking miles to get 176 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: clean water and miles to get to school if they 177 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: go to school, and then you see him get hit 178 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: by a hurricane and it wipes out everything that they 179 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 1: even had up to this point, which wasn't a lot. 180 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: There's a different emotional understanding that I have for those 181 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: people then I would if I never went to visit. 182 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: And I think traveling does that. It brings empathy, it's 183 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: shares the stories and so it's uh hey a story 184 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: of travel like yours, and that take being the takeaway 185 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: is one that I admire. So, uh, ben I do 186 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: want to jump in. We have a cool event coming 187 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 1: up here um with the almost famous podcast.

There's nothing out of the ordinary 242 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,679 Speaker 1: on our Thanksgiving table. Oddly enough, have you ever been 243 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 1: to a Thanksgiving where they did have non traditional food? Um, 244 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: not non traditional, but when someone put dried fruit and 245 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: the stuffing and it drove me crazy.

Actually, there's not many things in life 274 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: that I am confused by you with. Now this is 275 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: one of them. It has to be chocolate. It's like 276 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: there has to be a chocolate element to it, with 277 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: the exception of maybe pumpkin pie or like a crispy pastry, 278 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 1: but like never fruit involved.

And uh, and we're gonna 288 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: change your mind. Well, ash Hey, let's take a break here. 289 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 1: When we come back, Uh, we're gonna break down some 290 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: bachelor headlines, and there's many of them. Uh, So before 291 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: we do that, let's take a break. This has been 292 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 1: the almost famest podcast. Again, I just kind of brushed 293 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: brushed over here with Ben based on his travels. But 294 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: if you aren't aware, UM, and and I understand, there's 295 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: a lot of need in the world, a lot of 296 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: need in your neighborhood. And UM, please never take these 297 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: statements as something to say, hey, don't help your neighbor. 298 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 1: I think we should fully help our neighbor, especially during 299 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: the holidays. But it is true that Honduras, Central America 300 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 1: was hit um with a really unfortunate hurricane. UM. Not 301 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: that hurricanes are ever fortunate. Uh. And fore ft of 302 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: water has wiped through Honduras, especially, that's the place I 303 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: know best, and and everybody's lost everything they've known. Now 304 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 1: it's it's different to me because I know how little 305 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: they already had and there's no insurance. So once you 306 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 1: lose your home, once it's washed away, once your electricity 307 00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: is washed away, once your crops are walk washed away, 308 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 1: the hopelessness that ensues with that, and and from hearing 309 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,959 Speaker 1: from the people in Honduras right now, it's devastating. And 310 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 1: so something really cool happened this week. Actually, before we 311 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 1: go into headlines, I'm just gonna say this real quick, uh, 312 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: right away, we started working UM to figure out how 313 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 1: we can bring aid and care for the people of 314 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: Honduras in Central America. And UH. It took a lot 315 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,160 Speaker 1: of phone calls, a lot of texts, a lot of emails. 316 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 1: Finally I texted my buddy Juan, who owns UH some 317 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 1: of the restaurants with me in Denver, and he was 318 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 1: from Puerto Rico. And so when the hurricane hit Puerto 319 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: Rico a few years ago, he was one of the 320 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: leaders and bringing a to Puerto Rico. And I said, hey, 321 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,679 Speaker 1: I know you did this in Puerto Rico. Do you 322 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: have any connections that I could talk to to see 323 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,200 Speaker 1: if we can get some aid to Honduras. He said, 324 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:45,879 Speaker 1: let me get on it. He connects me with a 325 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 1: group called the Global Empowerment Mission. The Global Empowerment Mission 326 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:54,160 Speaker 1: is one of the largest UH relief warehouses in UM, 327 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,919 Speaker 1: the country, maybe even the world, And so we got 328 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,639 Speaker 1: on the phone with them.

It's so big, it's got to be the 399 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 1: biggest of all the Bachelor at rings. I'm going to 400 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:35,639 Speaker 1: have to do a little research on that, or just 401 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 1: not ask Neil Lane himself because I've never seen one. 402 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,640 Speaker 1: My sister goes, why don't Claire get the biggest ring 403 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: of all Bachelor time? And I was like, I don't know, 404 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 1: five seasons, and then you become the lead at fifth. 405 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 1: At your fifth season, it's best ratings of all time. 406 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: I don't know, she's good ratings. It could be that. 407 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 1: And then yesterday they were seen, you know, they were 408 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: documenting it everywhere on their social media that they were 409 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 1: visiting South Dakota. Uh. And then she was missing visiting 410 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: his family for the first time. Yeah. So the p 411 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 1: d A is everywhere and and they look happy. There 412 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,199 Speaker 1: is one little thing I want to mention from their 413 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: segment from last night's episode. Yeah, go ahead, do you 414 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: want to get into it? Do you want to get 415 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 1: into that sex section or should we address it later 416 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,680 Speaker 1: in the episode. We address it now. I think it's 417 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 1: fine because you know this this at some point. Actually, 418 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:32,879 Speaker 1: we just gotta make this statious season because if not, 419 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 1: it's gonna we're always gonna be bouncing back and forth. 420 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,440 Speaker 1: And so I think this is a good moment. Hey, 421 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 1: tons of happiness for for Claire and Dale. But I 422 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,160 Speaker 1: think this is a good moment during headlines to kind 423 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,880 Speaker 1: of close that chapter and move into tap Okay, sounds good. 424 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,119 Speaker 1: So it was just kind of funny when Chris Harrison's like, 425 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 1: what's the next step for you guys, and Claire was like, 426 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 1: babies and then he got and then he think he goes, 427 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: so let's marriage or babies first, and she's like, I 428 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 1: don't care, it doesn't matter there and then and then 429 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 1: Dale was like, and we're gonna get married first. Yeah, 430 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: I mean that's a little aggressive. I was like, I 431 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,239 Speaker 1: was watching it and I felt like that, uh, you know, 432 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 1: like you find somebody you love and they get super 433 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,959 Speaker 1: excited and they say something like and you're like, just 434 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: not prepared for it yet. And I mean this has 435 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: moved so fast the way it is that I think 436 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 1: like you saw a real life example of Dale being like, uh, 437 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 1: we haven't talked about this yet, Like I know, I know. 438 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,440 Speaker 1: He was like, yeah, we've talked about marriage, and yeah 439 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: we've talked about kids, but we haven't talked about like 440 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:37,399 Speaker 1: reversing in order. So that was good. I think that 441 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: was a really like real moment, a real moment where 442 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 1: all of a sudden you just saw him like dead 443 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: Simon just like, uh, so good. Well, we did get 444 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 1: to see him on their episode last night. It was 445 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: nice to catch up with him. It felt act what 446 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: do you think before we get into some more clear topics, 447 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: It felt like the show was trying to move on 448 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 1: from that as quickly as possible. It was weird that 449 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,119 Speaker 1: it was in the middle of the episode. Even Chris 450 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,159 Speaker 1: Harrison addressed it. He's like, I know, this is the 451 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,440 Speaker 1: time where you're expecting to see Tashaw on her first dates, 452 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: but we're going to stop. It was really weird that 453 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:17,880 Speaker 1: it was at the beginning. It was in the middle 454 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: of the episode. Why not put it in the beginning 455 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 1: and then just close the chapter and move on. Do 456 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 1: you think, uh, if you had to take a guess, 457 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 1: are we like, are we done with the Claire and 458 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,440 Speaker 1: Dale story from here on out, or if like they 459 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,679 Speaker 1: do do a tell all or whatever kind of like 460 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 1: conclusion to the season, will we see them again? Or 461 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: is they're done? This is there that we will they're done. 462 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: I don't think that if there's a tell all that 463 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: there will be any mention of like Claire stuff. I 464 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:50,119 Speaker 1: think like it'll be tacious tell all. I also have 465 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: to address that I think that that Dale is feeling 466 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:57,479 Speaker 1: a little overwhelmed, is can I feel kind of honest 467 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,439 Speaker 1: and say that, like, maybe part of him is like, 468 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: wait a second, I'm too much in a WorldWind right now. 469 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,120 Speaker 1: I'm kind of stressed out. I would be stressed out 470 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,400 Speaker 1: even if you like and that like probably comes from 471 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 1: a bunch of love too. So even if your love 472 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,439 Speaker 1: you love somebody like this is the right thing, all 473 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 1: of a sudden, you're engaged. After that, you're thrown into 474 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 1: the spotlight. After that, you find yourself being critiqued, criticized, 475 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:30,440 Speaker 1: celebrated by millions of people, and now your relationship is 476 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:35,360 Speaker 1: at the is the focus point to millions, and so like, 477 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 1: I think it's fair to be overwhelmed, And I don't 478 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 1: think that has to hint to the fact that he's 479 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 1: still not super into it and she's not into it. 480 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 1: I just think it's like, how do I process so 481 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,880 Speaker 1: many emotions so quickly in such a short amount of time. Yeah, 482 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: I completely agree with that. It's wild. Well. Uh, Claire's 483 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 1: headlines though, uh and at least Alama was famous. Podcasts 484 00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:01,359 Speaker 1: have not ended Want Pablo uh shade Claire Crawley after 485 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:05,640 Speaker 1: Dale Moss bachelorette drama. This according to Cosmo, Okay, so, 486 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 1: Juan Pablo tweeted last week that he was in Mexico 487 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 1: and he couldn't watch the show, and he's like, can 488 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: somebody keep me posted? It's like, also sounds like he's 489 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,880 Speaker 1: being a little bit sarcastic because we know that he's 490 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: not on the greatest terms with Claire. And then he 491 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 1: liked a fan's response to this tweet and the response said, 492 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,639 Speaker 1: you know, one, we all thought she dodged a bullet 493 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 1: with you, but I think you dodged a bullet with her, 494 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,199 Speaker 1: and then he liked, Yeah, he liked that. So I 495 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 1: just don't think these are good moves on anybody's part, 496 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 1: Like you're I don't know if this is a good 497 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,959 Speaker 1: move for anybody, no matter what your situation is, if 498 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 1: you're on the reality televin show, or if you're somebody 499 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 1: that had a high school breakup or a college breakup 500 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: or a divorce later in life, Like, I don't think 501 00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: this behavior is something any of us should be entering into. 502 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,360 Speaker 1: You don't, don't add to the pain that has already 503 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,119 Speaker 1: obviously there, Like, what are you trying to prove? What 504 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,679 Speaker 1: are you hoping for by liking like a mean tweet? 505 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 1: Do you hope like all of a sudden, the world 506 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 1: is healed? No, this just adds more pain to the situation. 507 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 1: We should stop this. And hey, Juan Pablo, he can 508 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: do what he wants. I mean, it's it's crazy that 509 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,399 Speaker 1: people have even uh paid attention to how he's been 510 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,359 Speaker 1: following this, and Claire has moved on, like you know 511 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 1: what Claire and was is done moved on with Dale. Uh. 512 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,400 Speaker 1: In fact, just a little headline they you know, as 513 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 1: Ashley mentioned, they went and visited uh Dale's hometown, which 514 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 1: is really cool and UH and Chris Harrison has been 515 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 1: the first now to defend the couple, saying, you know, 516 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,119 Speaker 1: according to people, uh and saying that this is something 517 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 1: that we should really get behind that this is a 518 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 1: love story. I think that's really all there is to say. Um, 519 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: people who are not vibing Clarien Dale, it's like there, 520 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,680 Speaker 1: you can't win. You can't win with everyone. I can't 521 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:06,160 Speaker 1: apologize for you don't apologize for love, my apologizing for love. 522 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: And I feel like there's skepticism every time there is 523 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,959 Speaker 1: an engagement on the show, no matter no matter what 524 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 1: people are gonna say it was like two too quick 525 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 1: or like I don't feel this, I don't find that. 526 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 1: Just time will tell whether your little opinion that the 527 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 1: lead doesn't care about or I hope doesn't care about, 528 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 1: it's true. I think the lead oftentimes does care though. Uh, 529 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 1: we're we're seeing that as really clear became more open 530 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 1: about how much the public opinion affected her and uh 531 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 1: and so just be careful. Well, hey, uh, a little 532 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 1: bit of clear news here. But really about Becka Koufern Uh, 533 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 1: she says publicly she's jealous of Claire Crawley and Dale 534 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 1: Moss after Garrett moves on, and she quotes, I miss 535 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 1: having that partnership this. According to US Weekly, Becca said 536 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 1: this on her podcast this week hat the Hour that 537 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 1: she and Rachel had Claire and Dale on and she said, 538 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 1: I'm low key a little bit jealous. I miss having 539 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 1: that partnership, but I'm incredibly happy for you guys. Um, 540 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 1: that's it, you know, just it is sad. Of course, 541 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 1: I'm just glad that she kind of admitted that jealousy. Like, 542 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 1: I feel like people hate to admit jealousy and try 543 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 1: to work their way around like wording it so that 544 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 1: it's not jealousy, but just say it how it is. Yeah, 545 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 1: Beca has been pretty vulnerable and honest about this, how 546 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 1: hard this has been for her. And she hasn't doesn't 547 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,960 Speaker 1: feel like she's like brought Garrett down, She hasn't been 548 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 1: mean to Garrett. I think that. I think she's just 549 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 1: been pretty honest about how hurt she's been. Um, just 550 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 1: not just like it's sad, it's hard, it's weird and 551 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 1: uh and it's moving fast. Um. Obviously Becca is in 552 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: l A now starting life there. Uh and I bet 553 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 1: due to COVID, like it's a little bit lonely. I'm 554 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 1: assuming there's not a lot going on in so uh. Yeah, again, 555 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 1: it's pretty cool to see Becca be vulnerable, but it's 556 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,719 Speaker 1: also hard, um to hear those words come from her. 557 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 1: I know she she's hurting. Uh. Matt James Season of 558 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: The Bachelor sets January premier date.

I mean, the America 577 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 1: was supporting her of her this week, and I think 578 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 1: that they had good reason why.

This according to e Online. Okay, 585 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 1: this sounds as if Chris Hemsworth was asked to be 586 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,960 Speaker 1: the Bachelor but no, no, no, So his trainer was 587 00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 1: asked to be part of the Australian version of the show, 588 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 1: and when the trainer asked Chris for approval to go 589 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 1: on the show, he said no.

I 593 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 1: bet Chris Hemsworth knows that the storyline would be that 594 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 1: this guy was Chris hemsworth trainer and Chris's name would 595 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 1: be brought up, brought up on The Bachelor one too 596 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 1: many times for his comfort and liking.

I'm Chris Hemsworth trainer. Yeah, it'd 599 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 1: just be too much.

Actually? 661 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,719 Speaker 1: I think it was last season of Paradise. He just 662 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,200 Speaker 1: had gone on like five dates. You know, every girl 663 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:41,719 Speaker 1: kept asking him out. But now he's engaged. Uh. We 664 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,920 Speaker 1: don't know much more about this engagement except it happened 665 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,840 Speaker 1: this weekend and you can go to their instagram to 666 00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:52,400 Speaker 1: see the pics. It's really something special. Uh. John Graham 667 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:57,720 Speaker 1: and Dark Paith finding loved during COVID. Uh we'll celebrate 668 00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:01,000 Speaker 1: it no matter what, and both to loved figures in 669 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,640 Speaker 1: the bachelor world. The one crazy part is it wasn't 670 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,400 Speaker 1: that long ago that Derek Paith was being talked about 671 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:10,200 Speaker 1: to be the dex Bachelor based on his run in Paradise. Uh, 672 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,920 Speaker 1: he will be the Bachelor. Uh, he will be in 673 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 1: Bachelor talks no more. And and I think Vin Moo 674 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:20,840 Speaker 1: John actually uh had had some talks as well. He 675 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:25,280 Speaker 1: was loved. Um. Well, ash, that's been Bachelor headlines. Uh, 676 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:28,480 Speaker 1: there's more headlines to come. But that's just during tatious 677 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:32,359 Speaker 1: season of the Bachelorrette that just began. Let's take a break. 678 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,319 Speaker 1: When we come back, we're to break down Tatia's very 679 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:46,880 Speaker 1: first episode as the bachelor at tatious season of the 680 00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:50,760 Speaker 1: Bachelorette began. We're gonna start referring to ng it reform 681 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,640 Speaker 1: tatious season of the bachelortt just began. We're gonna start 682 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,200 Speaker 1: referring to it as tatious season. If not, just just 683 00:36:56,280 --> 00:37:00,239 Speaker 1: gets confusing. Ashley, Um, I think the best way to 684 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,040 Speaker 1: do this is your initial thoughts, your excitement, your concerns, 685 00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:06,200 Speaker 1: your questions, take it away. Well. I was just very 686 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 1: excited to see the guy's reaction to Tasia when she 687 00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,719 Speaker 1: walked in. Of course, she just looked so stunning. I 688 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,879 Speaker 1: find her to be very approachable, Like she's the kind 689 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,680 Speaker 1: of girl that you look at her and you're like, okay, 690 00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,680 Speaker 1: I'm intimidated, right, But the second you sit down and 691 00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,919 Speaker 1: talk to her, all that goes away. And I love 692 00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:25,879 Speaker 1: that the guys really felt that. They said that they 693 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:29,200 Speaker 1: were connecting with her very easily, and there were some 694 00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:32,680 Speaker 1: men who I thought would have a heart. Well, I 695 00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:36,680 Speaker 1: guess there's really just one specifically Blake I thought was 696 00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:40,120 Speaker 1: going to keep his feelings for Claire a little bit longer. 697 00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:43,640 Speaker 1: You know, they had that special connection. One night one 698 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,279 Speaker 1: he said that she, um, you know that he did 699 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:50,359 Speaker 1: research on Alzheimer's for her mom, and she kissed him. 700 00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,600 Speaker 1: And I feel like Claire barely kissed anyone. But he 701 00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:58,040 Speaker 1: seemed very receptive of Tasia. Were you surprised by that 702 00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:03,239 Speaker 1: or did you Were you much expecting the reaction from him? Uh, 703 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:08,399 Speaker 1: I'm probably expecting it. I mean, yeah, I mean, as 704 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:13,960 Speaker 1: you said, though, like Tassia like Tassia stunning, Like when 705 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,120 Speaker 1: she walks in the room, like I think everybody's gonna 706 00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,359 Speaker 1: seem a little thrown off just because she like she's 707 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,120 Speaker 1: like glows, like she really does, like she lights up 708 00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:24,160 Speaker 1: the room and um, and she did that. She had 709 00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:27,160 Speaker 1: that Bachelor at glow we talked about more than want 710 00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,920 Speaker 1: anyone I've seen in a long time. It was actually 711 00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:33,239 Speaker 1: like there was like coming off of her. She's just 712 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,640 Speaker 1: as beautiful on the inside as she's on the outside. 713 00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:39,640 Speaker 1: And then when we so we see her shouting with 714 00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,480 Speaker 1: the guys, and then of course Chris Harrison comes. He 715 00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:46,560 Speaker 1: interrupts Brendan's time by saying that you know, he has 716 00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:51,360 Speaker 1: something surprise, and then one limo shows up with four guys, 717 00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:55,880 Speaker 1: four new guys, and of course the men back in 718 00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,920 Speaker 1: you know, the Rose ceremony room or whatnot, are all 719 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:04,120 Speaker 1: and bothered about it. But it's like, guys, I know, 720 00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:07,440 Speaker 1: this is like kind of threatening, but the same at 721 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,960 Speaker 1: the same time, it's the bachelorette that we're here to 722 00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:15,440 Speaker 1: hope find love. You know, this is about her, not 723 00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,879 Speaker 1: so much you guys. So sorry that you're having this realization, 724 00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:22,719 Speaker 1: but it would be kind of rude for them to be, like, Okay, 725 00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:26,439 Speaker 1: j you are replacement bachelorette, and you have a lot 726 00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:30,680 Speaker 1: of lute, a lot of sixteen men to choose from. 727 00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,759 Speaker 1: Most bachelor bachelorettes will have thirty, but you're gonna have sixteen. 728 00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:39,640 Speaker 1: So in my opinion, they should have added even more 729 00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,920 Speaker 1: guys in. But I understand the time restrictions that they 730 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:44,680 Speaker 1: had on them. I don't think they should have been 731 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,200 Speaker 1: shocked at all. If you've watched it before, somebody in 732 00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:50,600 Speaker 1: that room had to assumed that more guys were coming in, 733 00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,240 Speaker 1: like one of Like, so, I remember Tanner was always 734 00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,360 Speaker 1: this guy for us. Tanner was always a dude, to 735 00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:58,000 Speaker 1: be like, Okay, this is what's probably gonna happen next, 736 00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,759 Speaker 1: Like it feels like Chris is going to walk in 737 00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:04,759 Speaker 1: and drop a bomb on us, like, um, like you 738 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,880 Speaker 1: had to have expected it. I think this would go easier, 739 00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:14,279 Speaker 1: Ashley if the first guy wasn't Spencer and the first guys, like, 740 00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:16,480 Speaker 1: the guys are probably a little upset with like whatever, 741 00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,719 Speaker 1: let it happen. And then the first guy walks in 742 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:23,160 Speaker 1: and he and he starts like kind of mouthing the 743 00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,080 Speaker 1: way he did, and I think that's when the guys 744 00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:29,440 Speaker 1: are like, oh, this is getting that. Yeah. Yeah, they 745 00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:31,719 Speaker 1: were like, okay, so they're bringing in villains. We got 746 00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:33,720 Speaker 1: rid of Joseph and now they're going to bring another 747 00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:39,000 Speaker 1: villain in. And because he is he obviously he's very attractive. 748 00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:42,800 Speaker 1: But Tasia specifically, I think was learned by his appearance 749 00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:45,600 Speaker 1: a bit. And I also think that there is something 750 00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:50,040 Speaker 1: too the fact that they're both new Okay, it was like, oh, 751 00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,359 Speaker 1: you're the new kid, I'm the new kid. We're both 752 00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:56,239 Speaker 1: on the even playing field. And Tassia could feel as 753 00:40:56,280 --> 00:41:00,440 Speaker 1: if he was there for her and not for Claire, 754 00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,319 Speaker 1: and that's probably that was a comforting feeling for her, 755 00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,720 Speaker 1: and I think that's why he got the first impression Rose. Yeah. 756 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,600 Speaker 1: I mean he he's a smooth talker, Like he's obviously 757 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:11,480 Speaker 1: not afraid to talk. Very first thing he does when 758 00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:13,360 Speaker 1: he walks in, he says, so, which one of you 759 00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:18,160 Speaker 1: guys scared Claire away? Like without any background of what 760 00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:22,000 Speaker 1: had happened. That's his first comment. So he's obviously not 761 00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:26,120 Speaker 1: afraid to voice his mind, voice his opinion. Now, that 762 00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:30,040 Speaker 1: could end up really good for Tasia, or it could backfire. 763 00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:35,200 Speaker 1: But right now, I cannot I maybe I'm in a 764 00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:37,880 Speaker 1: league of my own here. I cannot say that Spencer 765 00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:41,600 Speaker 1: is a villain yet. I think he is showing signs 766 00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:48,080 Speaker 1: of being uh like getting underneath the guy's skin. Uh. 767 00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,000 Speaker 1: But I can't say that he is necessarily a villain 768 00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:55,000 Speaker 1: yet because he really hasn't done anything to hurt anybody else, 769 00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,080 Speaker 1: or he hasn't said anything that mean, he just is 770 00:41:57,160 --> 00:42:00,400 Speaker 1: like kind of just like picking a fight everywhere. Turn No, 771 00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:05,359 Speaker 1: but he has dick vibes. Yeah, I mean you're yeah, 772 00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:06,799 Speaker 1: he definitely puts your on edge. I mean, looking at 773 00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:10,640 Speaker 1: him in the pool, he's fighting hard. He's like grabbing 774 00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:13,279 Speaker 1: Riley all over the place, and like tackling him, which 775 00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:15,000 Speaker 1: I mean I was thinking about it was like if 776 00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,240 Speaker 1: I was playing pool basketball, you'd probably see a different 777 00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:19,680 Speaker 1: side of me come out, like that's that's my game, 778 00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:23,120 Speaker 1: and so you'd see me like, you know, ripping the ball, 779 00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:25,080 Speaker 1: will trying to rip the ball away from those dudes. 780 00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:26,680 Speaker 1: They're a little bit bigger than me, but like trying 781 00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:30,440 Speaker 1: to rip the ball away really going harder than paint. Um. 782 00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:32,480 Speaker 1: We also have a few more guys come in. We'll 783 00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:35,840 Speaker 1: just run through these real quick. Montell uh the gym owner. 784 00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:39,359 Speaker 1: But he did. He did say nice to meet you 785 00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:41,880 Speaker 1: a zillion times. It's basically all he said. It was 786 00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:44,720 Speaker 1: like he was walking nice to meet you. Hey, I'm Montel. 787 00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,840 Speaker 1: It's so nice, like he said at least three times. 788 00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:52,279 Speaker 1: So nervous It's okay. Everybody gets a pass in that moment. Yeah, 789 00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:56,040 Speaker 1: it's kind of endearing in a sense, right, Peter thirty two, 790 00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,279 Speaker 1: he's a real estate agent. Truly, don't remember what he 791 00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:03,480 Speaker 1: looks like, do you, No, I don't. I do remember. Noah. 792 00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:08,960 Speaker 1: Noah is a registered travel nurse. Uh. The sixteen guys 793 00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:12,080 Speaker 1: uh in the house obviously have to welcome these four 794 00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:15,719 Speaker 1: guys into the house and and there's like, I mean, 795 00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:22,240 Speaker 1: all four of those dudes, uh, good looking, confident. Uh. 796 00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:24,319 Speaker 1: It felt like they really brought out like an a 797 00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:30,160 Speaker 1: team to uh to join this group. Yeah. But at 798 00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:34,200 Speaker 1: the same time, I'm like not feeling this group of 799 00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:38,760 Speaker 1: mann right now. But I've been trying to like mathematically 800 00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:44,400 Speaker 1: figure out why. Logically it's because, well, one, the focus 801 00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:46,440 Speaker 1: was so much on day of the first four episodes. 802 00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:48,719 Speaker 1: But I think back on like episode five and how 803 00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:50,920 Speaker 1: well you know characters by episode five, and we know 804 00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:53,960 Speaker 1: so little. But I almost wonder if it was made 805 00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,160 Speaker 1: to be that way so that we would feel like 806 00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:59,680 Speaker 1: we were starting this season off clean slate right now, 807 00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:03,399 Speaker 1: because I feel like I can't pair Tasia with any 808 00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:05,520 Speaker 1: of these guys because I don't know them enough right now. 809 00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:08,840 Speaker 1: Like I'm I'm struggling and playing matchmaker for her. I 810 00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:11,880 Speaker 1: know that some guys are glimmering. I think we mentioned 811 00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:18,319 Speaker 1: them last week. Riley Ben Bennett Ivan Ivan was uh, 812 00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:22,520 Speaker 1: he really felt great about Tasia's arrival.

Now, actually, 830 00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:24,759 Speaker 1: let's pause here, step away from the talk about the guys. 831 00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,320 Speaker 1: Let's talk about Tasha for a second. We've got to 832 00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,640 Speaker 1: see her now through night one through uh super rand 833 00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:34,120 Speaker 1: you know, super I should say, unexpected uh switch of 834 00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,600 Speaker 1: events for her to become the Bachelor.

She's so easy for me to watch, like 842 00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:01,319 Speaker 1: she is herself with these guys as the same as 843 00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:03,719 Speaker 1: she is with me. If we're like sitting around having 844 00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:09,239 Speaker 1: a line. She was insanely relaxed, Like the way she 845 00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:13,319 Speaker 1: had she was laughing, she was like flitting around. She 846 00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,759 Speaker 1: was talking to these guys. She was commenting on you know, 847 00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:17,640 Speaker 1: the way they looked and the way they talked like 848 00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:21,799 Speaker 1: she It's weird. It was like she was made for 849 00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:25,640 Speaker 1: this moment. I completely agree. I've never been able to 850 00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:29,120 Speaker 1: I feel like I've never seen a lead that comfortable 851 00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:31,960 Speaker 1: in that in that in their shoes. No, I mean, 852 00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:35,399 Speaker 1: Night one is intimidating. And then given this scenario where 853 00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:38,520 Speaker 1: she walks into a house that she does she knows nobody, 854 00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:42,399 Speaker 1: but these guys already know each other. She I mean, 855 00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:44,239 Speaker 1: if if you really want to get critical, she's like 856 00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:48,160 Speaker 1: the replacement Batchelor at um, and yet she walks in 857 00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:50,319 Speaker 1: and says, no, this is this is my opportunity now 858 00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:56,239 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna shine And she shined fantastic. I think 859 00:46:56,239 --> 00:47:00,160 Speaker 1: most people feel that way too. I did too. I 860 00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:02,040 Speaker 1: can't wait. I know that you guys, we record this 861 00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:04,680 Speaker 1: a couple of hours before it airs, and I'm really 862 00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:07,080 Speaker 1: excited to see the social media feedback that we get 863 00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:12,080 Speaker 1: from the fans tonight. It's gonna be positive. Well, um, 864 00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:14,160 Speaker 1: we obviously just talked about the Claire and Dale sit 865 00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:17,359 Speaker 1: down that was next in the episode. Um. But then 866 00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:22,279 Speaker 1: we move into Tassia's first date and uh, it is 867 00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:26,279 Speaker 1: a group date where it's called they're calling it a 868 00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:30,279 Speaker 1: second shot at love. Uh. They're playing splash ball and 869 00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:35,040 Speaker 1: I want to pause here and say this the date 870 00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:39,279 Speaker 1: team given one location, giving like the unexed, like they're 871 00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:40,879 Speaker 1: doing all right, Like this is kind of a fun 872 00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:43,680 Speaker 1: date to watch. I enjoyed watching them play splash ball 873 00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:45,279 Speaker 1: and it wasn't boring for me, and it was good 874 00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:48,720 Speaker 1: to see their personality. Shine. I thought this date worked. 875 00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:54,440 Speaker 1: It was fine. It was cute. Competition dates, as you 876 00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:58,680 Speaker 1: guys know, don't usually thrill me. I just really like 877 00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:03,200 Speaker 1: to watch the one on one sit downtime, I can't 878 00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:07,360 Speaker 1: believe how great Tastia's hair looks straightened, curly and natural. 879 00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:10,440 Speaker 1: That I was most blown away by how beautiful she 880 00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:14,520 Speaker 1: looked even when she was wet, And uh yeah, that's 881 00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:16,600 Speaker 1: pretty much all I have to say about that in 882 00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:21,760 Speaker 1: between oh yeah, and then so at the night portion, 883 00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:25,200 Speaker 1: I guess the most. The thing the most stands out 884 00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:29,440 Speaker 1: is Zach talks about being single at thirty six, she 885 00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:33,080 Speaker 1: kisses him. I don't feel Zack like I don't. He's 886 00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:36,920 Speaker 1: not like my favorit right now, but she's vibing it. 887 00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:39,799 Speaker 1: Do you are you? How are you vibing Zach right now? 888 00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:44,160 Speaker 1: It's just hard to say. I mean, there's nobody I'm 889 00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:49,520 Speaker 1: with you, Like there's nobody right now that I am 890 00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:52,840 Speaker 1: extremely into when it comes to somebody for Tasha, just 891 00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:55,719 Speaker 1: I don't know these guys yet, like like I haven't 892 00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:57,799 Speaker 1: heard their stories. I don't know how they interact and 893 00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:00,360 Speaker 1: have fun. I don't know how they make her feel. 894 00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:03,600 Speaker 1: And first impressions are always so hard to judge because 895 00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:06,560 Speaker 1: everybody can put on their best face and put on 896 00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:10,520 Speaker 1: put their best foot forward for a few days and 897 00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:13,319 Speaker 1: then the clause come out. Every time, and so I 898 00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:15,520 Speaker 1: want to talk to you, like in two weeks and 899 00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:17,839 Speaker 1: tell you who I'm vibe and who I'm feeling. Right now, 900 00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:19,840 Speaker 1: I can't even give you an honest answer because I 901 00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:25,279 Speaker 1: just I just don't know easy it was trying to 902 00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:28,920 Speaker 1: so make a Dale and Claire move. When he says, 903 00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:33,799 Speaker 1: when you came out and I met you night one, 904 00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:36,640 Speaker 1: I felt like I just met my wife. Is he 905 00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:40,440 Speaker 1: not trying to pull like A did? Did we also 906 00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:44,120 Speaker 1: experience love at first sight? Move? I mean, the funny 907 00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:47,040 Speaker 1: part is like he's probably the back of his mind thinking, Okay, 908 00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:49,759 Speaker 1: I've already been here a few weeks. This has been exhausting. 909 00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:55,080 Speaker 1: If I can, like Tastia's a dream like she she's great, 910 00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:57,640 Speaker 1: if I can somehow convince her to leave this thing 911 00:49:57,680 --> 00:49:59,319 Speaker 1: with me in the next two weeks. And I've only 912 00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:02,480 Speaker 1: been here seven weeks. I found my girl, Claire has 913 00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:04,799 Speaker 1: found her a guy. Everybody's happy, and I don't have 914 00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:07,840 Speaker 1: to be here any longer. So yes, I definitely felt 915 00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:11,239 Speaker 1: like that was all. These dudes are just gonna be 916 00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:13,520 Speaker 1: the most hopeless romantics right now. They're gonna they're gonna 917 00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:20,040 Speaker 1: believe that this can like happen just like that every time. Now. Yeah. 918 00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:22,759 Speaker 1: Another funny thing that happened on the nighttime portion of 919 00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:26,959 Speaker 1: this date was when Riley starts calling Spencer lunch meat 920 00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:29,800 Speaker 1: and he's like, yeah, you you make the bologna sandwich. 921 00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:33,040 Speaker 1: You put some mail on it. It's like, I don't 922 00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:37,200 Speaker 1: know why you're talking about, but it's hilarious. Yeah. This, uh, 923 00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:39,640 Speaker 1: this dynamic is gonna be really fun to watch because 924 00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:42,759 Speaker 1: some of these guys are already so comfortable, uh that 925 00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:46,840 Speaker 1: you know, they've they've really sat in to the experience 926 00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:49,920 Speaker 1: that there's no whole bar. They don't recognize the cameras anymore, 927 00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:51,320 Speaker 1: so they're saying what they want when they want to 928 00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:54,840 Speaker 1: say it. These other four guys are new. Um, everybody's 929 00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:56,919 Speaker 1: a little intimidated by them just because of their new 930 00:50:57,239 --> 00:50:59,040 Speaker 1: It's like the new kids moving into the high school. 931 00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:03,160 Speaker 1: Everybody's talking about it, and um, it's gonna be really 932 00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:05,080 Speaker 1: fun to see how this place because you already see 933 00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:08,959 Speaker 1: the small gentle jabs that I think over time, well 934 00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:13,840 Speaker 1: I'm predicting will not be so gentle. Yeah yeah, but 935 00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:15,799 Speaker 1: they will be full blow and villain either. I don't 936 00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:18,680 Speaker 1: think nobody's could be a full blow and villain yeah, no, 937 00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:22,600 Speaker 1: it's probably true. Well, Ashley, Uh, the next day is 938 00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:27,080 Speaker 1: Brendon goes uh horseback riding with Tasia. You're a fan 939 00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:31,280 Speaker 1: of Brendan, you think he's been super sweet. What stands 940 00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:33,680 Speaker 1: out to you about this date? And uh? And why? 941 00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:35,320 Speaker 1: I also want to know why do you think he 942 00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:38,839 Speaker 1: gets this date? Well, to be honest, I felt like 943 00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:41,000 Speaker 1: they I don't know why he got this date. Maybe 944 00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:44,640 Speaker 1: he got the date because Chris Harrison interrupted him on 945 00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:47,680 Speaker 1: night one and she liked the conversation and she wanted 946 00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:52,160 Speaker 1: to continue with him something like that. Um, but I 947 00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:54,680 Speaker 1: felt like the beginning of the day on the horseback 948 00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:58,440 Speaker 1: with Chris Harrison trying to be funny and interrupt and 949 00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:01,040 Speaker 1: all that, I thought that was kind of awkward. I 950 00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:02,480 Speaker 1: was like, Oh, I don't know that they're getting like 951 00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:05,360 Speaker 1: their jive on. He keeps talking about kissing her and like, 952 00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:07,840 Speaker 1: I don't feel like that kisses anywhere in the near future. 953 00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:11,160 Speaker 1: But then they sit there in the pool and she's 954 00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:15,600 Speaker 1: like totally down for it, and the nighttime portion was fantastic. 955 00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:20,360 Speaker 1: Obviously they were they really bonded over the similarities in 956 00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:22,719 Speaker 1: their background, or they both got married young and they 957 00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:26,439 Speaker 1: got divorced, and it was just very endearing the way 958 00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:29,200 Speaker 1: he was nervous about talking about that and he realizes 959 00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:32,399 Speaker 1: that she went through a similar situation. I just felt 960 00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:35,480 Speaker 1: like he has very much hopeless romantic vibes. I mean 961 00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:37,800 Speaker 1: he was a young guy who you know, got married 962 00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:41,359 Speaker 1: so says he was commitment or he's commitment oriented and 963 00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:45,239 Speaker 1: maybe a hopeless romantic. And I just you think you 964 00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:47,200 Speaker 1: look at him and you're like, um, you're like a 965 00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:49,879 Speaker 1: sweet guy. Like I don't know that you'll like it's 966 00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:56,560 Speaker 1: kind of like Jack and Rose. I knew she's like 967 00:52:57,120 --> 00:53:04,080 Speaker 1: this powerful, assy, gorgeous, stunning, confident woman, and then he's 968 00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:07,480 Speaker 1: just kind of like a sweet regular dude. And you 969 00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:10,000 Speaker 1: don't really put them together naturally, but when they sit 970 00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:12,160 Speaker 1: and have a conversation, it makes a lot of sense. 971 00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:14,799 Speaker 1: You know, you're right, actually, I mean he is. He's 972 00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:17,520 Speaker 1: the dark horse, and there's something there that's special, There's 973 00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:21,480 Speaker 1: something that's standing out above the rest. Ashley, you had 974 00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:24,960 Speaker 1: some strong feelings though, for Jason, because obviously he was 975 00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:26,960 Speaker 1: the one that was probably the most Him and Blake, 976 00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:30,880 Speaker 1: we're the most focused on Claire, but Blake kind of 977 00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:34,839 Speaker 1: sold sold his clear Yeah, as soon as station walking 978 00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:37,000 Speaker 1: in the room, that guy got like nervous. He starts 979 00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:40,000 Speaker 1: like his bride eyed. He's saying some like non smooth stuff. 980 00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:42,960 Speaker 1: He's so excited for Tastia to be there, but Jason 981 00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:45,479 Speaker 1: still holding onto it. And I know you have certain 982 00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:49,400 Speaker 1: feelings about this. Yeah, I mean I know that so 983 00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:52,799 Speaker 1: many fans were very into Jason. I like Jason, wanted 984 00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:54,880 Speaker 1: him to have more of a chance. But I really 985 00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:58,120 Speaker 1: really like Jason. In this episode when he's telling Tasha 986 00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:02,080 Speaker 1: that his feelings are too wrong for Claire to stick around. 987 00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:05,520 Speaker 1: He gave her the shot on night one, but just said, 988 00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:07,719 Speaker 1: you know, I don't feel like it's right for me 989 00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:10,239 Speaker 1: to be here because my you know, my thoughts are 990 00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:13,960 Speaker 1: still as somebody else. It was so respectable, which made 991 00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:18,480 Speaker 1: me like him even more. He just seems like a catch. 992 00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:22,200 Speaker 1: And Tasia, from the little that she knows of him, 993 00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:26,040 Speaker 1: could sense that. And I think she was uh disappointed 994 00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:28,520 Speaker 1: that he wasn't going to stick around any bit longer. 995 00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:31,200 Speaker 1: And I could see getting discouraged about that, Like I 996 00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:34,360 Speaker 1: can see that getting her down um and her wondering 997 00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:37,360 Speaker 1: if there's any other guys in the you know it 998 00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:39,560 Speaker 1: left in the bunch that are still thinking about Claire, 999 00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:43,560 Speaker 1: but like, as a viewer, I can securely say he 1000 00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:46,279 Speaker 1: was the only one that we were thinking could have 1001 00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:50,680 Speaker 1: lingering feelings. Everybody else has very much moved on. It's 1002 00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:53,120 Speaker 1: still shocking to me that he felt that strongly for Claire, 1003 00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:57,200 Speaker 1: given the fact that she really didn't let anybody else in. Like, 1004 00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:01,839 Speaker 1: I'm wondering if if Jason stuck around, or I hope 1005 00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:04,279 Speaker 1: when he starts dating again, there's somebody in his life 1006 00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:07,640 Speaker 1: that will like pursue him and make him know that 1007 00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:10,920 Speaker 1: a good relationship is one where like you are supported, 1008 00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:12,960 Speaker 1: you're cared for, you can open up, and you're protected 1009 00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:16,719 Speaker 1: within that vulnerability. And I think Claire gave him that 1010 00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:19,200 Speaker 1: option to be vulnerable. He did, and I think his heart, 1011 00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:21,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't, I don't want to speak for him, 1012 00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:22,880 Speaker 1: but I imagine it hasn't happened many times his life, 1013 00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:25,920 Speaker 1: and his heart was pulled towards her, and now and 1014 00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:28,600 Speaker 1: now he's leaving, and that's tough. That's sad because like 1015 00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:36,280 Speaker 1: he he obviously is feeling this experience deeply, and because 1016 00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:38,520 Speaker 1: there's no change of environment, you know what I mean, Like, 1017 00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:41,359 Speaker 1: maybe if you like took even simply a week and 1018 00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:46,439 Speaker 1: changed resorts. But his location is going to remind him 1019 00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:50,319 Speaker 1: of those feelings for Claire, and I understand it. It's 1020 00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:55,960 Speaker 1: kind of it's remind me. Did he ever Did he 1021 00:55:56,000 --> 00:56:00,120 Speaker 1: ever tell Claire just how strongly he was feeling for her? Not? 1022 00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:04,640 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say not. I wouldn't say he was super 1023 00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:07,479 Speaker 1: obvious about it. I probably think that he probably didn't 1024 00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:11,840 Speaker 1: want to get discouraged because he just saw what she 1025 00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:17,040 Speaker 1: had with Dale, And yeah, I don't know one day. 1026 00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:19,840 Speaker 1: It's sad. It's sad because it's not as if Claire's 1027 00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:23,600 Speaker 1: was just like Jason, I'm not really into you. It 1028 00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:27,239 Speaker 1: was I'm moving on with Dale. So you'd think that 1029 00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:30,759 Speaker 1: he'd have more closure. Uh, it's not as if he 1030 00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:33,359 Speaker 1: could ever get her back. He wasn't going to win 1031 00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:35,799 Speaker 1: her back. So that's why it seems sadder to me 1032 00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:39,000 Speaker 1: that he won't open up to Tasia. Yeah, it's tough, 1033 00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:43,200 Speaker 1: but well, there's a bright spot in this episode. You 1034 00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:47,799 Speaker 1: and Jared make an appearance. I know, tell us about it. 1035 00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:51,640 Speaker 1: How long were you down there for? It? Was this 1036 00:56:51,719 --> 00:56:54,200 Speaker 1: a cool thing to do?

There might 1042 00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:16,080 Speaker 1: be some basic elementary school math that they have to 1043 00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:19,120 Speaker 1: do a tug of war. It's really fun. It was 1044 00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:21,800 Speaker 1: one of those dates where while it was a competition 1045 00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:26,240 Speaker 1: and an activity date, through the activity you really got 1046 00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:29,200 Speaker 1: to tell about their personality and how they would treat 1047 00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:32,160 Speaker 1: a lady in a relationship versus what you would get 1048 00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:36,360 Speaker 1: from splashball. And we loved it down there. It was 1049 00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:43,600 Speaker 1: brutally hot. I cannot believe. Literally a fifteen every day. Um. 1050 00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:47,400 Speaker 1: It was a gorgeous resort and the quarantine, honestly was 1051 00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:51,200 Speaker 1: very relaxing.

Okay, 1085 00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:40,440 Speaker 1: this story happens in my junior, no, sophomore year of 1086 00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:46,600 Speaker 1: high school. So the last last was senior, today is sophomore. Yeah. 1087 00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:51,080 Speaker 1: And so my better sport was basketball, um, especially when 1088 00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:56,120 Speaker 1: I was younger, and so I was as a sophomore. UM, 1089 00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:58,640 Speaker 1: just got out of football season and I had um 1090 00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:00,560 Speaker 1: like a pain. And I'm telling this story because I 1091 01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:02,560 Speaker 1: think some people out there will relate. I had a 1092 01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:07,200 Speaker 1: pain in like my testicles that hurt really bad and 1093 01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:10,200 Speaker 1: it was like super sensitive. So I went long story 1094 01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:12,480 Speaker 1: short and gut it checked out and I found out 1095 01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:14,600 Speaker 1: that I had a Verico seal. A very co seal 1096 01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:17,000 Speaker 1: is something that's a common in one in four men. 1097 01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:19,040 Speaker 1: It's like a lot of men have this, but like 1098 01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:20,840 Speaker 1: very few men have it to where they need to 1099 01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:23,040 Speaker 1: get removed. The reason you have to get removed is 1100 01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:25,080 Speaker 1: a very co seal. Is just an extra vein or 1101 01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:31,080 Speaker 1: an inflame vein um in the scrowtum and it overheats everything. Yeah, 1102 01:00:31,160 --> 01:00:34,720 Speaker 1: and uh, I'm not I don't do well with veins. 1103 01:00:34,720 --> 01:00:37,640 Speaker 1: Something about veins and arteries. It really make me weak. 1104 01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:43,360 Speaker 1: And now you're gonna put that there um And so 1105 01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:46,240 Speaker 1: you had. I had to get removed because it was 1106 01:00:46,360 --> 01:00:48,640 Speaker 1: putting too much blood and it was overheating things in 1107 01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:52,000 Speaker 1: a like long term could have caused some spurn sperm damage. 1108 01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:56,840 Speaker 1: So I go on to get it removed and uh, 1109 01:00:56,880 --> 01:00:58,680 Speaker 1: I get it cut out and they just caught orize it. 1110 01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:01,040 Speaker 1: It's super easy surgery. They just go clip clip both 1111 01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:04,840 Speaker 1: sides out, remove the vein, caught it. Yeah. Yeah, you 1112 01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:06,320 Speaker 1: go to sleep for it, but it's not hard. And 1113 01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:07,880 Speaker 1: like I said, one in four men have it, so 1114 01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:11,680 Speaker 1: there's nothing to be ashamed of. Um. Well, I get 1115 01:01:11,720 --> 01:01:15,120 Speaker 1: home that night and I'm laying there in bed and 1116 01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:18,400 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my gosh, like this hurts so bad, 1117 01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:23,400 Speaker 1: Like this hurts so bad that I can't even like function. 1118 01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:25,760 Speaker 1: And I was like, I don't think it was supposed 1119 01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:28,280 Speaker 1: to hurt so bad like this surgery wasn't supposed to 1120 01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:29,920 Speaker 1: cause as much pain. Nobody warned me that it was 1121 01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:32,480 Speaker 1: gonna hurt this bad. It feels like I'm gonna explode, 1122 01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:35,200 Speaker 1: Like it feels like everything is getting so tight that 1123 01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:36,800 Speaker 1: it's gonna explode. So I call my dad. Remember I'm 1124 01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:38,920 Speaker 1: a sophomore in high school, like my dad. My dad 1125 01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:42,240 Speaker 1: doesn't know this side of me anymore. And he had 1126 01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:45,720 Speaker 1: to have known enough, being that you like had the surgery. 1127 01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:47,480 Speaker 1: Oh he knew, but he, like you said, like a 1128 01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:50,760 Speaker 1: mom and dad, like this hurts. Man, he hadn't seen it, 1129 01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:52,280 Speaker 1: and so I called him in. I was a dad, 1130 01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:55,880 Speaker 1: this is post surgery. I'm hurting really bad, and I 1131 01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:57,320 Speaker 1: need you to look at it and tell me if 1132 01:01:57,320 --> 01:01:59,480 Speaker 1: you think something's going on.
