You know 80 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 1: I have to I have to agree with you or 81 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: I think you said this, Ashley. I've think you are 82 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 1: an old soul. Ben. I can totally see you hanging 83 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 1: out with the seniors and they love you. They love 84 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 1: you Ben diagram. Ben is in the middle. He's the 85 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: one that intersects, but he does. He does smack in 86 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: the middle. You you're young enough to where you can't 87 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: take that like personally that you're like you're like being 88 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: like for me, I might I think I'm more on 89 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 1: the seniors because I am almost a senior. I am too, 90 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: is the only official senior on the call. Um. I 91 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 1: really started getting like a rpmail last year. And who 92 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: does that? You know? I will say that none of 93 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 1: you really fit that mold to me, because you know, 94 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: I'm old and I look at you all as children. 95 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: I'm this kid. Here's here's my response to it. Here's 96 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: the thing that makes me feel better. It's a weird time. 97 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 1: You know, Ashley was on the show before me, So 98 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 1: if I am in you know, the if we're breaking 99 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: up generations of Bachelor's now and Bachelorette, then Nashley was 100 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: on before me. Here's the thing that does make me 101 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: feel better. Thirty three years old. I just saw the 102 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: list of people who are coming out for this next 103 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,239 Speaker 1: season in the bachelotte which we're gonna get into talking about. 104 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 1: I would be like still kind of one of the younger's, 105 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: like kind of right in the middle. Now, if I 106 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 1: went on the show today, which is yeah, which is 107 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: wild to me. You know that you had people in 108 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: thirty thirty seven. We're going on this season, which I 109 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 1: think is great. I'm really excited to see that. But 110 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: it's weird though, considering how long how long ago it 111 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: was when I was the Bachelor, it feels like that 112 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,919 Speaker 1: I would still be like just entering into that I 113 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: feel Ashley, I joked about it last time. I'm sure 114 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: you guys feel the same way. And we do need 115 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: to get into this season the Bachelorette um. But if 116 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: they asked me to go on the show right now 117 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: as the Bachelor, there's zero chance I could do it, 118 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 1: mostly because I don't think I could stay awake, Like 119 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: I just don't think there's any possibility that midnight, Like 120 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: if you know, those are two o'clock in the morning nights, 121 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: over and over and over again. Early Yeah, there's just 122 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: no I was literally just thinking about this the other day, 123 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: and I'm with you on that one. Ben and Ashley 124 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: I think can probably relate better with me right now. 125 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: Trista can look back and remember this. But with kids 126 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,679 Speaker 1: this age and three, um, I'm in bed at eight o'clock, 127 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: you like, literally and then I'll wake up at like 128 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: midnight to come back to my bed, and then my 129 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: three year old comes to get me at like two 130 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: and four. So yeah, there's there's no way in and 131 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: no chance that I would be able to get through 132 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: the night, especially like we had one day in particularly, 133 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: we started off as on a private jet to Vegas, 134 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: then came back and then I had to do like 135 00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: my I M T S or whatever I T M 136 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: I am and then I boarded a hot air balloon 137 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: at like five am, Yeah, to catch the sun rise, 138 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: you know, because it's always like so romantic and awesome 139 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: to go on a hot air balloon at five am 140 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: when you've been up till two People love people love 141 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: them brutal.

Just let you guys know on what 148 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: it this season could bring about. We don't really know. 149 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 1: There's just a lot of questions. Um, but we're we 150 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: are excited to have it back on our televisions, just 151 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 1: to throw it over to YouTube.

Uh. I love 160 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: both of them. I think they're very different personalities, but 161 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: I think they really Uh, they seem to be great 162 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: friends and and I think that's kind of cool having 163 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 1: a friend there to go through the process. Even though 164 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 1: they're going through it at the same time and they're 165 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: doing the same thing, it will be stressful, but at 166 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: least they have each other, Like, that's super cool that 167 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: they have each other. I think. I agree. I like 168 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: the idea of it, um to a point, But then 169 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: my fear is that it will become one of those 170 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: things where oh no to friends fall in love with 171 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: the same guy. Now what happens. That's the part I 172 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: don't look forward to. So I hope that that isn't 173 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: ye know. I hope they both kind of find their 174 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: own lanes early and you know, um, each of them, 175 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: you know, I haven't had a chance to meet them, 176 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: so I don't know them at all, but I would 177 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 1: guess that, you know, I would hope anyway that they 178 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: would find guys that were you know, different enough and 179 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: there wouldn't be any overlap or any tension. But we 180 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: all know the show a little better than that, right, 181 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 1: so there's got to be one overlap. I think they 182 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 1: do their best. Yes, let's go around in a circle 183 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: now and give our theories as to what we think 184 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: the format of this season is going to be with 185 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: two bachelorettes. I will start. I think that they are 186 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: going to have the guys come in on night one. 187 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: They're going to give him a couple of bachelor weeks, 188 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 1: which we all know that early all on Bachelor Week 189 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: equals about three days um, to figure out who they 190 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: want to date full term. And I think the guys, 191 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: I think, do we think I'll open it up to 192 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,439 Speaker 1: the committee here, do we think girls are going? So 193 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: I think they're give him a couple of weeks, so 194 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 1: let's say a total of like ten days, and then 195 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: somebody in my head my theory of the format, somebody's 196 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: going to have to decide who they're going to date. Now, 197 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: are the guys going to decide what girls they want 198 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: to date or the girls going to decide the guys 199 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 1: that are going to date? Event inevitably, somebody is going 200 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: to be hurt because like somebody's like, oh, you want 201 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: to date me, Well I want to date that person. Yeah, 202 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: well okay. So my thought is in seeing uh following 203 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 1: Gabby and Rachel on Instagram, and I think Rachel just 204 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: did a poster a story saying this is now Gabby, 205 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 1: what did she say? This my Instagram is now like 206 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: a Gabby fans best account or something like that. Yeah, 207 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: it was like it was something like that. And so 208 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: clearly they are still getting along, right, so they're still friends. 209 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 1: So so I think there's probably some truth to the 210 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: fact that they do separate and have them kind of 211 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: do two shows in one if you will, um at 212 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: the same time, which logistically is a freaking nightmare for 213 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 1: the producers, I'm sure. According to Nick, who has insider dets. 214 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 1: He'sa that it was hell quote quote to produce because 215 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: it pretty much is like two seasons totally. I mean, 216 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: I can't even imagine the logistical nightmares, you know, having 217 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 1: to plan to dates at the same time having they're 218 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 1: going to have to hire a whole other staff of 219 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 1: camera guys. Yeah, true, yeah, you know historically, I mean, 220 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: if you think about it the last time, I'm not 221 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: thinking the last night. So I'm sure there's been another 222 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,839 Speaker 1: time like this, But I don't know if you guys 223 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: remember the year they had two Bachelor's and then all 224 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: the ladies showed up and then they had to choose 225 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: which guy and that form did not work. It was 226 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: the same as Caitlin. It was Caitlin season. They did 227 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: the bachelorret you guys Byron Velvic and Byron and yeah, 228 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 1: how am I just hearing about this now? I feel 229 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 1: like a horrible, horrible hopeful we're not knowing this? What 230 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 1: was it? This is what I'm saying, there are two 231 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: separate like generations, because I feel like the other one 232 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 1: started maybe like wal Brad Walmack part two, Like once 233 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: he started going around, that's when a whole other audience 234 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 1: started watching. Maybe like Ali season around then, and I 235 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 1: know all that true via, but I know nothing before that, 236 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: and I feel by making on behalf of a lot 237 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: of people out there. So what year was this give 238 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: me deeds? I don't know the exact year, but I 239 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: would say it's probably three years, maybe not too much 240 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: more than that, just a right, uh, maybe three years 241 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 1: after me. Because Mary Delgado, who was a finalist on 242 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: my season, ended up winning being the winner of the 243 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: Byron Valvic season. I think there's more more time because 244 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: I think, yeah, because I remember her coming back on 245 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: Byron season. It ended up being Byron season, even though 246 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: there were two guys to start um, she was kind 247 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: of like labeled as the old girl, you know, like 248 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 1: she was she was significantly older than I feel like 249 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: the other girls who were cast, and so I think 250 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: I think there was probably more time. But you're right, right, 251 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: I get this all the time. After my season, people 252 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: kind of stopped watching, at least like our generation, if 253 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 1: we're going to call it our generation, the O G s, 254 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: And they maybe picked it back up later, maybe even 255 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: like Ben ben season or JoJo's season, Caitlin, I don't know, 256 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: but in that time in between, I think you know, 257 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 1: there are a lot of Bachelor's. We had the Renzo on, Um, 258 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 1: there was Jake Pavelka. Uh. Who were the other people 259 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: that we've recently talked Andy, Travis Stork. Yeah, like right 260 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: in there that I feel like, you know, I didn't 261 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: have as much viewership, and a lot of people, like 262 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: you're saying Ashley started watching a little bit later. So 263 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: there was a time period where the Bachelorette was even 264 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: canceled and they brought it back, which is why we 265 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: have an uneven number of bachelor and bachelorettes significantly. Um, 266 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 1: but like, yeah, I've never known. I never heard that. 267 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: Oh you guys, that's because we're on Bachelor's season. What 268 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 1: now the Bachelors. I don't think it was ever because 269 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: it was canceled. I think it was just because they 270 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 1: red lighted more bachelors and we had four in the 271 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: can red lighted green. Yeah. Right, there's that that makes 272 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 1: it uneven too. But I do believe there's a couple 273 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: of years where it was like they had done more 274 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 1: Bachelor's very sure, yeah, and there wasn't around for a second. Okay, 275 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: but like back to this, Okay, Ben, there there was 276 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: a time where the girls got to pick between two bachelors, 277 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: and nobody remembers this. Why wasn't brought up UM when 278 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 1: Caitlin and Britt came about I'm sure it was like mentioned. Yeah, 279 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: I'm sure it was mentioned. But I think we have 280 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: if you look at the study, which I mean I've 281 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: I've spoken every year. I speak at this course UM 282 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: at DePaul University that studies the Bachelor and Bachelorette and 283 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: how it affects culture society. Uh, they didn't have segments 284 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: on love You every year I speak to it, or 285 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: I guess every semester whenever there's a new class. I 286 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: just joined on and I speak to this class. I'm 287 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: sure they listened to this podcast, so I'm sure now 288 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: they'd reach out to all of you. It's really fun 289 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 1: because they study UM in academia. The effects of this 290 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 1: show on society and the effects of this show on 291 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: the people, I think if you looked into it, I 292 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 1: do think the Bachelor Bachelor has lasted long enough where 293 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: there is a distinct, almost difference between age groups that 294 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: watched UH at the beginning and age groups that watch 295 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: in the middle, and then age groups that picked it 296 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: back up at the end. I don't think people really 297 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: associate as much. I think they I mean honestly, and 298 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: I think there's a few bachelorettes where people like say, 299 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 1: oh yeah, I recognize that name. I think there's a 300 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 1: few bachelors from you know, the beginning that people be like, 301 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 1: oh yeah, those are bachelor's. But there's a lot of 302 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,399 Speaker 1: people that people forget because I just think it's a 303 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,880 Speaker 1: it was a different time and it's a try viewing 304 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 1: a different type of viewership. I mean, you know trist 305 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 1: this season. In my season, I remember seeing something about 306 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 1: it that had like twenty six million viewers a week, 307 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 1: and you know, because ours kind of rolled right into 308 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 1: each other from a viewing perspective, and now, I mean 309 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,879 Speaker 1: now I think a big, big viewing week is like, 310 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 1: you know, eight or nine million viewers. Yeah, but the 311 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: social media impact is so much more because we didn't 312 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 1: have social media back then. So it's like if you know, 313 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,879 Speaker 1: you're watching friends and it rolls that, you know, whatever, 314 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 1: It's like, you know, the viewership back then was so 315 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: much more. Um it was just so much greater. But 316 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 1: I think the um what you called the interaction or 317 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 1: or whatever that might be now, you know, is so 318 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 1: much different to those different revenue streams for the network 319 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,120 Speaker 1: and the production company don't make money on this show. 320 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,159 Speaker 1: That's why, you know, when you talk to people on 321 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,479 Speaker 1: the inside, Hey, everybody thinks the show is gonna get 322 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,359 Speaker 1: canceled because there's two million people tuning in now and 323 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 1: the seasons don't. Well know, they figure out a way 324 00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:01,399 Speaker 1: to evolve and still make money on this show, uh, 325 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:05,359 Speaker 1: even though it has changed drastically. Well, yeah, I mean, 326 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: I think that's a great point to bring up that 327 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 1: we have had two bachelors. I think we're gonna see 328 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: two bachelors again. Uh, and in the upcoming seasons. I 329 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 1: think that's gonna be a thing I do wonder though, Trista, 330 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: especially from you, Jason Tartick. We've mentioned it now many times. 331 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 1: I think it's one of the most interesting things to 332 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,640 Speaker 1: watch as we watch the next couple of months unfold. 333 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: He has a theory that during the filming of the show, 334 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,919 Speaker 1: it would be really easy because I'm assuming they are 335 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,159 Speaker 1: talking with each other about their love lives, and they 336 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 1: are discussing the drama that's ensuing, and they're kind of 337 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: balancing ideas off of each other. We have quotes from 338 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,880 Speaker 1: the two of them saying they're still best friends, um, 339 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: that they really like each other. Jason, though, says, hey, 340 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,400 Speaker 1: that's all great, but it's gonna be harder no matter 341 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 1: who you are post show, when the followers come and 342 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 1: go and when the opportunities are different for the two bachelorette. 343 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 1: If you could put yourself back in the place of 344 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:07,360 Speaker 1: being the bachelorette and then you're sharing that stage with somebody, 345 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 1: do you think it would be hard post show to 346 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: share that spotlight. Maybe not for you personally, but could 347 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 1: you see it for somebody? Yeah? I mean, it so 348 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: hard for somebody. So it's interesting that you bring that up, because, Um, 349 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 1: I don't know if we were talking about this the 350 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 1: last episode, Bob, but Ryan we were. We were talking 351 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 1: about why people break up. Yeah, it was last episode 352 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: Bachelor Breakups. And one of the things that Ryan had 353 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,239 Speaker 1: said was, you know it was it was hard for him. 354 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 1: He had to go back to work and for the 355 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 1: three months I was going to the super Bowl in 356 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 1: the Playboy mansion and like Oprah and doing all these 357 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 1: crazy fun things, and he can't even tell people that 358 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 1: he's engaged, like he's having to like swallow it all 359 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 1: and and hear about all these really exciting things, and 360 00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 1: mind you, yes, he's more introverted and you know, maybe 361 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: didn't wouldn't have liked those things as much as I. 362 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: But of course the super Bowl he would have died 363 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:09,159 Speaker 1: to go to. So um So, I think that it 364 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 1: was hard for him, and we brought up that and 365 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: I think still it's I mean, to this day, even 366 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 1: though in interviews he doesn't want to talk, so I 367 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: end up talking more than him to kind of protect 368 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 1: him from having to talk um or share anything, because 369 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,879 Speaker 1: he is more private than I as well. Um So, 370 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:33,640 Speaker 1: I think that for him and for so many other people, 371 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 1: I'm sure I would. I would wager that a majority 372 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:44,360 Speaker 1: of the breakups that happen in Bachelor Nation are from 373 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:52,160 Speaker 1: the uh inequality, the imbalance in attention you know if 374 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: you will. And I think that's hard because especially, you know, 375 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: for a lot of people. I'm not going to say 376 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 1: just guys, because girls have egos too, but I think 377 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: it will be hard. Now you asked what I would, 378 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 1: um if it would have been for for me, would 379 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: I have been able to you know? Would I have 380 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 1: been okay with that and feel like we would have 381 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 1: still been successful? I think so because our emma was 382 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: let's move to veil, let's focus on our relationship, you know, 383 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: kind of bottom line. And I to this day think 384 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 1: that that was one of the major reasons why we 385 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:34,160 Speaker 1: have been successful, is that we made that very conscious 386 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 1: decision to focus on us and kind of get away 387 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 1: from the whirlwind a little bit. You know. We still 388 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,119 Speaker 1: we still did some fun things, but um but I 389 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: think that even if there had been another bachelorette, I 390 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 1: think we could have done it. It will be very hard, 391 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 1: especially because social media. The comparisons have always existed in 392 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,199 Speaker 1: our world. I mean, who didn't grow up and compare 393 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 1: yourself to your friend who was you know, has more 394 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 1: money and going on these trips and that, you know whatever. 395 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,160 Speaker 1: We all com have always compared ourselves to other people. 396 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:15,879 Speaker 1: But social media makes it that much more, um difficult, 397 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 1: and I think it it will be very difficult for them, 398 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: But hopefully they have really good head on heads on 399 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 1: their shoulders and their friendship can sustain them through it. Ben, 400 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 1: were you insinuating like the girls social media followers and 401 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 1: them having to like compete against each other there, because 402 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: I think it could be a thing. I mean, yeah, 403 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 1: it's you know, it's truly if you look at those numbers, 404 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 1: it's gonna suck because it's going to happen. They're not 405 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 1: gonna be equal right now. They're not equal, Yeah, and 406 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 1: it means that, I mean, if we're going by the 407 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 1: numbers right now, that like Gabby's going to be looked 408 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 1: at as the more popular one, and then like Rachel's 409 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 1: going to look at that and be like, why do 410 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 1: people like her more than me? It's more of a 411 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 1: direct competition between the two of them as far as likability. 412 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 1: Then most bachelorettes need to deal with because like every year, 413 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 1: like the viewership is going to change and there's gonna 414 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 1: be people that resonate with others. And I think it's 415 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 1: different when it's year to year, but when you're on 416 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: the same season and you have a direct comparison, I 417 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: that's gonna be a lot for their egos, just like 418 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: their overall like mental health. I feel yeah, I was. 419 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,119 Speaker 1: I was gonna say when I did trist this season, Um, 420 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,640 Speaker 1: Jamie blythe and I Jamie was another guy that was honest. 421 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 1: We did all this pressed together. I mean it was 422 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 1: kind of crazy, the the amount that we were doing 423 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: at that time. And I loved it. I loved having 424 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 1: him as my buddy to do those things with. And 425 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,360 Speaker 1: it was great to have a partner and it took 426 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,639 Speaker 1: away some of the anxiety and you know, all that 427 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 1: kind of stuff. But you're right, that was also before 428 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,400 Speaker 1: social media, and so you know, I think I think 429 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: the social media aspect could be interesting because I mean, 430 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:09,360 Speaker 1: we didn't have to face it the way that they 431 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 1: do now. I think it will depend on Rachel's state 432 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 1: of mind. Like, you know, if you're saying that that 433 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 1: Gabby is already I don't know how many followers they have, 434 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 1: but if Gabby is already kind of being pinned as 435 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 1: the most popular one, um, I think it'll just depend 436 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 1: and and Rachel seems to be pretty put together and 437 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 1: and that she's secure in who she is. So I 438 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 1: think it will just really come down to that. Um. 439 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 1: I don't see Gabby like throwing it in her face 440 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,159 Speaker 1: at all, you know, definitely not, you know, And I 441 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,880 Speaker 1: think that if Rachel is feeling sad about it, it's 442 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 1: simply put by saying like Gabby is the funny one, 443 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: you know, like look at She's the funny bachelor of 444 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: all time, and she has like the most followers of 445 00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: all bachelorettes. I think I think that is just like 446 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 1: something to say to yourself, to be like, you know what, 447 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 1: I'm funny, I'm cute, but like that girl, she could 448 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 1: do stand up and that's why people love following. Yes, 449 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 1: did you see her post just now, um today or 450 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 1: maybe this week? It was like, this is proof that 451 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 1: our milkshake brings all the boys to the going to 452 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 1: be good and like, you know, let's not forsake the 453 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 1: idea that you know, possibly they're both with somebody and 454 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,120 Speaker 1: your partner matters a ton post show, on that support 455 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 1: and on that guidance and that care and just letting 456 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: you know, hey, no matter what this whole thing was for, 457 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: like we ended up together and that's as much, that's 458 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,959 Speaker 1: more than any amount of followers or money or attention 459 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 1: that's going to come in. So so true. Hey, Ashley, 460 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 1: I have a I want to ask all three of you. 461 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 1: Uh kind of been closing here, but I'm very interested 462 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 1: because Ashley really stays up on the show and contestants 463 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 1: and where they're at reality. Steve has claimed that there's 464 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 1: gonna be a fan favorite uh show up to this season. Uh, 465 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 1: and there's been no leaks or spoilers on who this 466 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 1: fan favorite will be. I want to hear your theories 467 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: on which fan favorite is going to show up this season, 468 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 1: what thoughts, and then I would love to hear why 469 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 1: you think that person would show up and if you 470 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,360 Speaker 1: don't have an answer, I have a thought. Okay, well, yeah, 471 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 1: you go first. So Gabby is from Denver. I don't 472 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,400 Speaker 1: know if they've ever met. You guys are good friends 473 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:34,400 Speaker 1: with him? Blake? Maybe it's Blake? Why would why would 474 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 1: it be black? But Blake just went with a girlfriend, 475 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 1: yeah this last week? Oh never mind. Then I'm totally wrong. 476 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 1: I thought you were going to say Dean, and Dean 477 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,880 Speaker 1: would have been so fun because he and Gabby used 478 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 1: to date. Wait a second, isn't Dean with Kaylin? But 479 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 1: he's with Kaylin and he would never do that, He 480 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:57,120 Speaker 1: would never say yes. Such silliness. I feel like Nick 481 00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 1: Viles making a comeback if he's in a relation show. 482 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 1: But I mean, I haven't seen him on the Bachelor 483 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 1: and a Florida, Florida. Okay, who's from Florida? So Rachel's 484 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 1: I think it's Honestly, here's my guess, um, just throw 485 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 1: out there. I think Connor, who was the cat guy. Uh, 486 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,440 Speaker 1: I think he's going to come back. Yeah, I think 487 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 1: he's going to come back. Pilot Pete maybe, I think 488 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 1: wish Pilot Pete's out. We just did a hot topic 489 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 1: that he did not come to an agreement with production 490 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,479 Speaker 1: on the number of cash alarms can take him to. Yea, 491 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,479 Speaker 1: he was going to be on Bachelor Ed or Bachelor 492 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 1: in Paradise. He wasn't Paradise.
