Speaker 1: with on our radio.

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 2: Hey guys, welcome to the Almost Famous podcast. Today is

4
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 2: one of Ben's Ben and My Q and A sessions.

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 2: We love these. You guys send in your questions and

6
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 2: we answer them today. We have your names and your city,

7
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 2: so it feels like a real radio show and I

8
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 2: love it. So we're gonna start with one from Cassie

9
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 2: from Denver. Ben, what's more nerve wracking handing out your

10
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 2: first rose on national TV or sending a risky text

11
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 2: without a follow up plan?

12
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: Oh this feels a little personal.

13
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,959
Speaker 2: No, we love it. Have you ever sent to risky plan?

14
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 2: Risky text? Because you know, we know that your wife,

15
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 2: she was a virgin before you guys got married, so

16
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 2: I feel like there weren't a lot of risky texts

17
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 2: during that period of your life. But maybe yeah.

18
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: But this like being from Denver and being somebody asking

19
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: like I'm like this is this like a flirtatious It

20
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,639
Speaker 1: was just like is this coming back eleven years ago?

21
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: And they're like, finally I get to ask this question

22
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: of why he never texted me?

23
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 2: Yes, he totally gave her your number post Lauren breakup.

24
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 2: This happened during that ben era.

25
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: That's what I'm worried about. I'm not getting red and

26
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: hot right now, Like I don't like this.

27
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 2: Wait, this is resonating with you as if it could be.

28
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 2: Do you know a Cassie?

29
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 1: No? I don't, but yeah, what's more nerve wracking? It's

30
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: had a follow up plan? Goodness? I would say probably

31
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 1: the national television moment. I mean, I don't know what

32
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: exactly risky text means without a follow up plan.

33
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, either what's your fallow? I always have

34
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 2: a follow up plan. I think text because I got

35
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 2: the follow up.

36
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: Maybe my follow up plan is not to respond back

37
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: to you, but yeah, I mean being on national television

38
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: passing out roses definitely more nerve wracking. All right, moving on, Ashley,

39
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: how many crying memes yourself have you seen? And which

40
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: one is your favorite?

41
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 2: Okay, well that question is from Jordan P and Tampa,

42
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 2: and I will admit I have this app my phone.

43
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 2: It's called Gift Wrapped. I don't know if that's a

44
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: really old GIF app, but that's the one that I use,

45
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 2: and I have mine all. I have some of my

46
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 2: favorite memes saved or gifts and gifts. I've got some

47
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 2: of Hannah Brown roaring. I have one of dos of

48
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 2: Jared saying to Rob Thomas, Rob Thomas, Rob Thomas. And

49
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 2: then I have a ton of myself that sometimes I'll

50
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 2: send to people if it's the right person and they'll

51
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 2: know that I'm not too self obsessed. But I have

52
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 2: I man don't one My favorite one, My favorite one

53
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: is probably not of me crying but giving this this

54
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 2: this round. It's like a big carousel of my confused

55
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 2: face during Women Tell All. So if you type in

56
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 2: Ashley I women Tell All, that might come up. Ben.

57
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 2: I'm assuming that you don't have any of your gifts saved.

58
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: I don't have any of my gifts saved. But there

59
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: has been a like moments where I've looked him up

60
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: and they're hilarious, and there's some good ones. There's one

61
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: where I looked at looked absolutely jacked. And so sometimes

62
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 1: when my friends are making fun of me on Syndic

63
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: just because I look.

64
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 2: Good, awesome, there's this one of me that says, this

65
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 2: is stupid. Why am I crying again? That's good. Then

66
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 2: there's one that says he's so hot. I think that

67
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 2: my eyes were made to look at him. Another one

68
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 2: that says, how am I supposed to find another you? Yeah?

69
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 2: And then then this is great. I'm gonna end with

70
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 2: this one. Are you sure you don't want to be

71
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 2: with me? Ever?

72
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: I feel like this question really just went like this

73
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: actually could take a whole episode and just go through

74
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: these and just laugh.

75
00:03:58,800 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: Some good lines.

76
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: You have some good lines. You're you're a funny g goal, Ashley.

77
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: If you had to swap lives with a Bachelor National

78
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: love for a day, who are you choosing? And what's

79
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: the first thing you'd do?

80
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 2: I saw this from somebody, and I saw this from

81
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 2: Trent from Cel and I was like, you know what,

82
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 2: I'm really not sure. I'm not sure. Do I get

83
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 2: to be in their body? Was the question?

84
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're switching lives with them.

85
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 2: I can be in Kelsey Anderson's body with her face

86
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 2: for a day.

87
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

88
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 2: Oh well, if it's like a physical thing that.

89
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 1: I like to be Kelsey didn't she just get Didn't

90
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: she just say she got a Brazilian butt lift or something?

91
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 2: She did not she got like veneers though? Oh a

92
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 2: big difference.

93
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: Okay.

94
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 2: I was thinking, like if it was just switching lives

95
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 2: like I had to go. It was like wife swap

96
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 2: the old show, and I had to go live in

97
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 2: somebody's house for a day. I thought that maybe it

98
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 2: would be interesting to go live in Emily Maynard's house

99
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 2: and she has like six seven kids. And then I'd

100
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 2: be like, Wow, this is what it feels like to

101
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 2: have six or seven kids, And now this is what

102
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 2: it feels like to leave that house.

103
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're in such a mom mode. Like your idea

104
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,799
Speaker 1: of a swap would be to take on more responsibility.

105
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then to realize that I have it pretty easy.

106
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: Oh okay, So it's justifying the life that you have.

107
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 2: It's just just to find a life. Just to appreciate

108
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 2: my life. I appreciate my life every day, every day.

109
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 2: I'm so grateful. And there's no sarcasm here. I still

110
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 2: am mind blown how this all came to be. All right,

111
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 2: next question you didn't answer, you get to answer this one.

112
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: To answer both of them.

113
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 2: I would like you to, because that doesn't say Ashley

114
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 2: or Ben, it just says if you.

115
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: If I goodness, gracious, there's there's so many people I'm

116
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 1: envious of that come to mind. I think for me,

117
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: I would take it to like an extreme of Hey,

118
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: let me take a step back act and maybe have

119
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 1: like less responsibilities. And when I think as somebody that

120
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: has like less responsibilities and has a lot of fun,

121
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 1: you know what, Like you said Kelsey, I might say Joey,

122
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: not that he doesn't have responsibilities.

123
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 2: We'll be together for a day, man.

124
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah that why not? We're together so often? Not

125
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 1: because he doesn't have any responsibilities, but he's kind of

126
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: in that like Prime season where he's just having a

127
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: lot of fun. He's enjoying it. But if we talk

128
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: all Bachelor National lums, I'm going Chris Harrison because that

129
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: dude is living the dream right now. I mean he

130
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: gets to golf, he gets to play in cool events,

131
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 1: he gets to live in Austin, and you know, he

132
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: doesn't have to exactly worry about money. He's so talented.

133
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: I would just love to be Chris Harrison for a

134
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: day or Jesse Palmer. I think they're both just crushing it.

135
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 2: Yeah that's actually a really good answer.

136
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, like them both and they're both handsome and they're

137
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: both doing cool things. Okay, what would a typical Bachelor

138
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: date look like? It look like if it was produced

139
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: on a target budget, Well, I think we saw that

140
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: last season.

141
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 2: So I was gonna say, I'm like a target guys,

142
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 2: that's not a Walmart budget or a dollar treet budget.

143
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: I mean they did go to the mall after hours

144
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: and bounce on some balls. That seems to be expensive.

145
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, the target budget is definitely what I think you

146
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 2: kind of saw last year. I would also say that

147
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 2: if if you look at Hometown Week, that's kind of

148
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 2: a target budget, that's what the show would look like.

149
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 2: You know, you'd be going to parks and taking lots

150
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 2: of walks and going to like the nearby bar.

151
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, I also think a lot of their

152
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: dates are not super expensive, meaning you know, I had

153
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: a date at a vineyard that's not like super pricey. Now,

154
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: we did helicopter in which saved us time and effort money,

155
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: time and effort, not money, you know, but that's like

156
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: a normal everyday date, and I thought those dates were

157
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: the best dates, and even some of the group dates.

158
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: When you do a sporting.

159
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 2: Event, it's like on a college field.

160
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: Well yeah, but if they're not renting out the coliseum,

161
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: then they can do this in a random park and

162
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: it's like cheap. So I'd say stuff like that, and

163
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: like Ashley said, a lot of the hometown dates are

164
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: very much in line with that. If you look at

165
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: the season, typically there's only a few, like magnificent dates

166
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: that are unattainable. There's a lot of unattainable moments, but

167
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: the core parts of the date, you'd be like, we

168
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: could do this. We could go to dinner and go

169
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: watch a concert. Now that concert might not be a

170
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: private show. We could watch a concert.

171
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it could be edited down to be pretty normal

172
00:08:50,200 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 2: and that not too expensive. Hey, Ben, this next question,

173
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 2: I love it. We're gonna have you answer first. This

174
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 2: is from Kevin in Brooklyn. He says, what Bachelor Nation

175
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 2: conspiracy theory do you believe might be true? Oh?

176
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: Can you give me some examples of conspiracy theories and

177
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: Bachelor Nation?

178
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 2: Well, I only have two. One I probably shouldn't say.

179
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: No, you should say it.

180
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 2: Well, no, we should all just we should all just

181
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 2: look into Kelsey Pee a little further.

182
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 1: Is she still alive?

183
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's alive. She lives in France. I know she's

184
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 2: not listening to this podcast. Okay, this one's mine. Then

185
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 2: if you don't have one off the top of your head,

186
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 2: I don't because I would yeah, because this is the

187
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 2: only one I could think of right now. But I

188
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 2: think that Claire was didn't I think that Claire didn't

189
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 2: want to leave with what his name Dale? Dale. I

190
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 2: think she didn't want to leave the process early.

191
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,839
Speaker 1: Oh so she was like forced out. Yeah, that makes sense.

192
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: That's a good one.

193
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 2: Uh.

194
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: I mean like when I think of like the stories

195
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,079
Speaker 1: I've heard from behind the scenes, it's like a producer

196
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: sleeping with a cast member, but like that's on a

197
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: conspiracy that was true. The guy that broke his leg

198
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 1: jumping out the window or something, Well.

199
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 2: Yeah that was the was that the first Paradise?

200
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, like so I don't know

201
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 1: many conspiracies as much as I just know wild stories

202
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: from behind the scenes that are true.

203
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, can you give us one of those that.

204
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: That one is the one, like, that's the one that

205
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: comes to mind.

206
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 2: Well, we'll remember this question and we'll let you guys know.

207
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of like the Unreal show and

208
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: like what about that wasn't like what were they talking

209
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:51,199
Speaker 1: about on that?

210
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 2: The craziest thing from Unreal was that they took the

211
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 2: girl's antidepressants away from her and then she ended up

212
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 2: killing herself, and it's like, yeah, that doesn't happen.

213
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: No, that's that's to the extreme, like that stuff doesn't

214
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: happen at all. Ever. Yeah, there's not a lot that

215
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: comes to mind there. I mean, I think most of

216
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: batter nation would know the stories that would stand out. Ashley.

217
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: If someone gave you one hundred dollars for every time

218
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 1: you cried on the Bachelor, how much, Richard, do you

219
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 1: think you'd be You're gonna lowball this.

220
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 2: Oh, I said a couple thousand. You think it's ten thousand.

221
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: I don't think you cried a hundred times.

222
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 2: I don't think I cried a hundred times. No, but

223
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 2: I did have four seasons. But I would say I

224
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 2: would estimate forty times. Wow, four thousand dollars forty times

225
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 2: over four seasons. I think that's like appropriate.

226
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, you think that's like the normal? Are you like

227
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 1: justifying it and saying no, that's not that's not weird

228
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: crazy to me? Yeah, there's ten episodes. There's eight episodes

229
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: per season. Ten episodes per season.

230
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, maybe it's five thousand. Okay, Ben, if

231
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 2: you if you what's the this is interesting? Okay, this

232
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 2: is to you, this is directed to you. What's the

233
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 2: weirdest DM you've ever gotten from a fan?

234
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: The weirdest I mean, I was like, there's weird things

235
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 1: that are sent to you, Like, I mean, I think

236
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: every Bachelor Nation person probably has had like naked pictures

237
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: sent to them, Like that just happened. A yeah, but

238
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: like I'm sure if you asked Jared, like he's opened

239
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: up his messages at some point been like whoa, Like

240
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: that's seems like risque and vulnerable. Maybe that's what they

241
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: meant by the first one. So that feels like out

242
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: like outlandishly crazy. I had somebody DM me and tell

243
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: me that. I was like, they're so excited to meet

244
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: me in an airport that I was not flying to,

245
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: and that like I don't know if they said God

246
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: or somebody had told them that they I was meeting

247
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: them there and that we were going to have a

248
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: future together. Oh yeah, I never went.

249
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 2: They wanted you to meet you at an airport.

250
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: Like they said I was going to like that they

251
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: had gotten a message from.

252
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 2: Him, Okay, so they like stop premonition.

253
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, so they're like driving to the airport and that

254
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: they were gonna pick me up.

255
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 2: Okay, that's that's memorable. That's a good answer.

256
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: Yeah I didn't. I Yeah, I didn't. I didn't make it.

257
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: The Bachelor Nation had a Hunger Game style survival match.

258
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: Who's making to the final three and who's the first

259
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 1: to go?

260
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 2: Okay, I've thought about this.

261
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: This is from Eliza in Portland.

262
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 2: By the way, I'm thinking, I think that Jared would

263
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 2: get really far. And I'm about just saying that because

264
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 2: I'm his wife. He's a really insanely competitive and he's strong,

265
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 2: and he's he's in good shape. Yeah, but he like

266
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 2: would know how to play that game, and then he'd

267
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 2: have a serious depression afterward. But he'd have to win though,

268
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 2: And then I think Nick would do really well because

269
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 2: Nick also like to win. And then I think Hannah

270
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 2: Brown just Nick and Hannah both kind of all most

271
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 2: did this through special forces.

272
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I could see that. That makes sense. Who's the

273
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: first to go? Oh?

274
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 2: Me, No, I'm kidding. The twins, Emily Aley, they would

275
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 2: both be like, take us now, we're good, goodbye world.

276
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 2: Would you rank who's your three?

277
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you. I would agree with you,

278
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: but not to like repeat it. I would add on

279
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: I think Dean has some survival skills that are very

280
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: useful in these situations. But with Dean kill, Yeah, Dean

281
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: would just kind of like be a passive. He's a pacifist. Pacifist.

282
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: I think Gabby's showing us some resilience with her one

283
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: on traders. We got to give her credit for that. Yeah,

284
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: and then honestly, like we have some like we have

285
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: some real strong individuals and Bachelor Nation that are like

286
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: I don't want to count out, like Jordan Rodgers. I mean,

287
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: the dude is a Division one athlete who stays in shape,

288
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: who I obviously is competitive. I think somebody like that

289
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: could sneak up at the end of this and really

290
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: make some noise.

291
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 2: That's a good answer.

292
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you, I appreciate it. Which moment from your

293
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: season do you wish got edited out completely? This is

294
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: Dylan from Miami.

295
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 2: For me, it's it's making out with crystals on the balcony.

296
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 2: It was like our third kiss. It was like week

297
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 2: three and I looked back and I was just attacking him.

298
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 2: Just was not a sexy kiss, and it was like

299
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 2: in the middle of me like blubbering and crying, and

300
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 2: I'd be like, Okay, we can make up five minutes later.

301
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: Ben, do you want it to be? Okay? Be honest,

302
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: when you're kissing Chris on TV? How much in the

303
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: back of your mind and were you thinking is this

304
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: gonna look sexy or not?

305
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 2: I was convinced the first time when I said, oh

306
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 2: my god, I can't believe I took this advice from Todd. Todd,

307
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 2: I'm calling you out. He I thought it was hilarious,

308
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 2: and you know what, yeah, I could call it Todd

309
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 2: now he doesn't work there anymore. He was like, you

310
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 2: should tell Chris to rub your belly button ring because

311
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,800
