Speaker 1: This is that Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
Speaker 1: Bachelor Countdown. We're here with another episode of the Almost
Speaker 1: Famous podcast. We are continuing our countdown to Grant season,
Speaker 1: which is airing January twenty seventh, and to countdown to
Speaker 1: this season, we are interviewing some past leads, some of
Speaker 1: the leads that you love the most, past bachelors from
Speaker 1: way back when to more recently and today. We have
Speaker 1: a fan favorite, somebody who is beloved by both myself
Speaker 1: and Ashley, and the Almost Famous listener is somebody that's
Speaker 1: always a great interview, Chris Sols. Welcome to the podcast.
Speaker 2: Thank you guys for having me. I'm just sitting here
Speaker 2: with my goosebump sharing your lovely voice. Ben. You are
Speaker 2: such a sweetheart and such nice things, so thank you
Speaker 2: for having me.
Speaker 3: We gets so excited to have you on because it's
Speaker 3: so much fun and so giggly. I don't know why
Speaker 3: it's so giggly. I mean, maybe it's just because you know,
Speaker 3: ten years ago, like you and I I sat on
Speaker 3: your lap on a tractor.
Speaker 2: Really good, right, yes?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, okay, So we talked to you a couple
Speaker 3: of months ago about Whitney and that whole thing. We
Speaker 3: did a lot of the behind the scenes of your
Speaker 3: dates and your choice. Your choice, Okay, your final, your
Speaker 3: final decision, So we won't talk about that so much. Guys,
Speaker 3: if you do want to hear that you missed out
Speaker 3: on it, go back. I think it was like October
Speaker 3: or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love this question. By the way, Christy prepped
Speaker 1: for this question that asked was about to ask you.
Speaker 1: I want you to take it serious though, I really need.
Speaker 3: If you need to like just be silent for a
Speaker 3: few minutes, totally fine, that's great, suspenseful sence, silence. And
Speaker 3: I don't expect to like move up in my ranks.
Speaker 3: But the question to you is if you had to
Speaker 3: re rank your season and reorder re order the girls,
Speaker 3: not the whole season, but like, let's think about your
Speaker 3: like top eight just so randomly, where do people lie?
Speaker 3: We can start with number one? Who would be your
Speaker 3: number one?
Speaker 2: Give me number one?
Speaker 3: Yeah, and let's be let's be really honest about this one.
Speaker 2: It's not me, you know, it's so hard to look
Speaker 2: back at that. It's a very tough question because it's
Speaker 2: you know, and now it's the whole thing is with
Speaker 2: such an incredible experience just in general, and almost seems
Speaker 2: surreal looking back because you guys were also freaking great.
Speaker 2: That's really true, and you've all gone on to do
Speaker 2: things that you know we're meant to be for yourselves
Speaker 2: after the show and just you know, I don't know,
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: That they can silence. Don't worry you. You have all
Speaker 3: the silence.
Speaker 2: We're recording me thinking pondering here.
Speaker 1: It's a little bit of a tough question, Ashley, honestly
Speaker 1: to ask the top because if you asked me my
Speaker 1: top eight, I wouldn't remember.
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, fine, okay, So if your top four, if
Speaker 3: you to redo your top four in orders and you
Speaker 3: could put me in the top four, would I would
Speaker 3: believe that at this point, being that you know me
Speaker 3: top four.
Speaker 2: In coolness or top four in depth.
Speaker 3: Of ability, and it's okay if I'm not in there,
Speaker 3: it's fine, you could it because no, no, no, all right,
Speaker 3: I'm going to lay this out easily for you. Okay.
Speaker 3: So we had a Whitney, Becca, then we had Caitlin,
Speaker 3: and then Jade. Those are your top four? Would you
Speaker 3: reorder any of your top four? It's okay, We'll give
Speaker 3: you the answer number one, you would have wanted to
Speaker 3: pick Becca.
Speaker 2: You know what would that have been right for either
Speaker 2: of us?
Speaker 3: You know, well you wouldn't have ended up together.
Speaker 2: No, if the outcome was just completely like knowing that
Speaker 2: it probably wasn't going to work anyway, you know, if
Speaker 2: you know, because my feelings were intense and like I
Speaker 2: really was trying to make the pragmatic decision, you know,
Speaker 2: and trying to really find somebody that I thought it
Speaker 2: could work with. It's not just like, of course, I
Speaker 2: mean there was a top eight that could have worked
Speaker 2: with or there was a chance, So I was super
Speaker 2: pragmatic towards the end, like I'm really serious about who
Speaker 2: I'm picking. It's not just like I could see myself
Speaker 2: being with a lot of the top eight actually, you know,
Speaker 2: And but my unique position being on the farm, like
Speaker 2: was put a different type of spin on everything. So
Speaker 2: it was it was there a chance that was gonna
Speaker 2: work with that with the top four. You know, I
Speaker 2: could go right down the list and tell you the
Speaker 2: specifics why I thought maybe it may not work with
Speaker 2: just because of my you know, the farming thing. But
Speaker 2: would I really truly reorder anything? I mean actually just
Speaker 2: as a person. You know, of course you'd be in
Speaker 2: the top four. You know, did I think that? It
Speaker 2: was like there was a future for you in Arlington?
Speaker 2: And me I just felt, you know, I had to
Speaker 2: be realistic there. You know, Caitlin was spectacular, Jade, I
Speaker 2: probably would, it.
Speaker 3: Makes sense, made pragmatically.
Speaker 2: In every way she was she was. It was just
Speaker 2: too many I had. I had too many great people.
Speaker 2: You did, I did.
Speaker 1: So you had an amazing season of the cast. I
Speaker 1: mean we could go down like with the Carles and
Speaker 1: like we can keep going and name so many people
Speaker 1: who have shown to be incredible humans outside of the
Speaker 1: show but also on the show, caused for incredible experiences,
Speaker 1: actually being one of those to prove both ways great
Speaker 1: on the show and great off the show.
Speaker 3: Oh thanks, guys. Okay, we don't have to butter me
Speaker 3: up anymore, but I do.
Speaker 1: She just needed it, Chris, I'm waiting for that for
Speaker 1: ten years.
Speaker 3: I know that, I know, I know about how much
Speaker 3: Chris loves me.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you were clearly.
Speaker 2: A top four. Actually, we just knew you weren't cut
Speaker 2: out for the farm. We just.
Speaker 3: No, no, Chris didn't get to know my personality well
Speaker 3: until after the show at all we did. I really
Speaker 3: don't feel like I knew you at all leaving the show,
Speaker 3: but have gotten to know you so well over ten years,
Speaker 3: and very glad that we could be friends. I want
Speaker 3: to know one thing about Kelsey, because I get asked
Speaker 3: about Kelsey mostly via Instagram, Like whatever I post like
Speaker 3: a throwback of our of our season, people are like,
Speaker 3: was Kelsey as crazy as she seems? And I always
Speaker 3: say she was more crazy? So what's your take your
Speaker 3: memories of Kelsey?
Speaker 2: I mean, it's hard to know because I was I
Speaker 2: knew her, you know, I knew all of you less
Speaker 2: than you guys knew each other. You know, I had
Speaker 2: what you see from my you know you know this Ashley,
Speaker 2: and then obviously no firsthand that just that amount of
Speaker 2: interaction I was able to have. I took a lot
Speaker 2: of my hints from you guys getting to know you
Speaker 2: know a lot of cases between between talking to you
Speaker 2: guys somewhat off camera and we're on camera at some
Speaker 2: point about at Kelsey and but you know when I
Speaker 2: showed up to the row ceremony and and the panic
Speaker 2: attack and then you know, the kiss saying and that
Speaker 2: when she tried to you know, there were some things
Speaker 2: that just were some real red flags. So I didn't
Speaker 2: necessarily see that. I have a strong feeling of genuineness,
Speaker 2: I would say, crazy, I don't know, because I just
Speaker 2: didn't know her that well, be honest, but I just
Speaker 2: didn't A lot of things didn't add up, and so
Speaker 2: I was just kind of in this position of like, oh,
Speaker 2: way too many questions marks here. So and you guys
Speaker 2: saw probably that, and you saw much more of her
Speaker 2: than I did. So I was just feeling like this
Speaker 2: was a little bit of a just felt a little uncertain.
Speaker 3: To be honest, she didn't show you much, right, it was,
Speaker 3: she surely didn't.
Speaker 2: There was a big facade there. I felt that she
Speaker 2: had had between what she was in front of me
Speaker 2: and what she was in front of you guys.
Speaker 3: All right, Ben, do your serious stuff. Now he's laughing
Speaker 3: at me.
Speaker 1: I'm laughing at Ashley because this, uh is stuff that
Speaker 1: she she would just love to sit down for like
Speaker 1: four hours and and just be like, all right, Chris,
Speaker 1: what was happening here with you?
Speaker 2: Ashley? I would that's on my bucket list.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, special series. It would be to be wild, Chris.
Speaker 1: I do want to get into some current life stuff. Start.
Speaker 1: We always ask you, and today I have a different
Speaker 1: approach as a friend, and again, somebody that loves you
Speaker 1: and thinks so highly of you, but I have a
Speaker 1: different approach. So I'm gonna start with this question dating
Speaker 1: now for you, Chris Souls. We are breaking down the Bachelor.
Speaker 1: We're talking about relationships. Obviously a question always comes up,
Speaker 1: is Chris single or not? And I would love to
Speaker 1: get an answer to it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm still single. I haven't really been dating
Speaker 2: too seriously, but you know, yeah, still single, still working
Speaker 2: on no Marono for a little bit here, and yeah,
Speaker 2: still wanting to day, still wanting to find love and
Speaker 2: all of those things. So but yeah, kind of in
Speaker 2: that season of my life, where been through a lot
Speaker 2: of stuff, you know, so just trying to get myself
Speaker 2: in a good position to just to still find somebody.
Speaker 1: You're working on yourself right now, which is always an
Speaker 1: incredible thing to do, especially when it comes from a
Speaker 1: genuine place. If there's one thing I know about you,
Speaker 1: there's an immense amount of genuineness and authenticity too. When
Speaker 1: you say something like that, what does it mean for
Speaker 1: you right now to be working on yourself.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, just trying to you know, improve my
Speaker 2: my health first of all, you know, just sort of
Speaker 2: uh getting back to a discipline on getting to the gym,
Speaker 2: doing cold punches and things like that. You know, that's
Speaker 2: a popular thing these days and sana things like that.
Speaker 2: Just uh and just really my parents have have have
Speaker 2: you know fully retired, and I've taken over their portion
Speaker 2: of the business and bought them out. So I've moved
Speaker 2: on with some things professionally there that have been been
Speaker 2: huge for me, just time commitments, and you know, it
Speaker 2: didn't health wise. Just uh. I I actually quit drinking
Speaker 2: in August and and plan to continue to do so
Speaker 2: for for the foreseeable future, which is a big deal
Speaker 2: for me. And so I've kind of been uh embracing
Speaker 2: that and uh, you know, hopefully that'll make make a
Speaker 2: lot of things better in my life.
Speaker 1: So I have so many questions for you, uh one
Speaker 1: and and I just I feel like I want to
Speaker 1: spit them all out at you right now, but I'm
Speaker 1: going to slow myself down. Uh. We'll start with I
Speaker 1: guess the choice to not drink, obviously is dry January.
Speaker 1: Everybody's a lot of people, I guess are like doing
Speaker 1: it this month. What have you seen the benefits be
Speaker 1: in your own personal life since you've been sober since
Speaker 1: August that maybe we're expected or unexpected.
Speaker 2: I think, I mean obviously just that the level of
Speaker 2: self made anxiety and stress. You know, internally, I deal
Speaker 2: with a lot of stuff to begin with, just with
Speaker 2: work and having as being an entrepreneur and agriculture. I mean,
Speaker 2: that's just it's something I embrace. But also alcohol does
Speaker 2: not make it easier, makes it tougher. So mentally I'm
Speaker 2: just much more clear headed. And it's pretty astounding. I
Speaker 2: think it's the longest I've went without drinking since I
Speaker 2: was a kid, a little kid, which is scary to me.
Speaker 2: But yeah, just I mean mentally the clear that that,
Speaker 2: uh that you get from that, and and starting to
Speaker 2: work on other things that you know, just meditation and
Speaker 2: things like that to start to you know, it's you're
Speaker 2: getting to be an old man now, I get the
Speaker 2: next you know, four years of my life ahead of me,
Speaker 2: so trying to really hopefully embrace that and and uh uh,
Speaker 2: you know, it allows me to be a better person
Speaker 2: to the people that I love, you know, and more
Speaker 2: more there, you know, more present, which is huge, you
Speaker 2: know with my family and and friends and and starting
Speaker 2: to you know, start to uh uncloud my my whole
Speaker 2: well being and and uh you know, then being able
Speaker 2: to focus on you know, if you like going to
Speaker 2: the gym instead of you know, kind of being a
Speaker 2: struggle and just recovering every every so often from you know,
Speaker 2: all calls is not really healthy for you. The more
Speaker 2: you learn about it is it's not good for you.
Speaker 2: And it's just a way of life for me for
Speaker 2: so long. So it's to start to change that is Ah,
Speaker 2: it's a huge you know, it's a sense of like
Speaker 2: acomplishment too. To be able to to do that gives
Speaker 2: you a strong sense of uh, I don't know, just
Speaker 2: feeling of you know, I don't know, it makes you
Speaker 2: anytime you accomplish something like that, that's not it's it's
Speaker 2: just very tough that it makes you better at everything,
Speaker 2: you know, makes you want to go out and do more,
Speaker 2: and whether it's building better relationships with friends and family,
Speaker 2: or or do better in work in my career in agriculture,
Speaker 2: and and just makes every life a little bit better.
Speaker 2: So I'd recommend it to anyone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, something to be proud of something that you should
Speaker 1: be extremely proud of. I mean not, you know, I'm
Speaker 1: not sitting here being like, hey, everybody needs to go sober.
Speaker 1: But the people that I do know who have made
Speaker 1: that decision and done it, you know, since August, Goodness,
Speaker 1: what an accomplishment I have met. No, I haven't met
Speaker 1: one person that's like, I regret that decision to go so,
Speaker 1: you know, to stop drinking. I'n't met one person yet.
Speaker 1: And I know many right now that have done that
Speaker 1: for you know, a multiple array of reasons. Chris, Uh,
Speaker 1: just congrats man. Uh, there's very I want to say
Speaker 1: this to you because you and I spoke on the show,
Speaker 1: on a show or personally, and maybe I'm sharing too much,
Speaker 1: and and growing up in Indiana myself being an ag
Speaker 1: drinking just becomes more of like a cultural thing, right
Speaker 1: You're you're just doing it throughout the day. It doesn't
Speaker 1: really mean a cocktail at night by the fire. It's like, no,
Speaker 1: this is just what we do in the Midwest. It's
Speaker 1: it's what it's our world is. We we drink and
Speaker 1: we do what we have to do. I want to
Speaker 1: say it's incredibly courageous. It also just proves to me
Speaker 1: once again, how strong you are personally to be able
Speaker 1: to stop in the midst of what is a very
Speaker 1: normal thing, I'm sure in your area of the country.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, thank you, Ben as always kind of words always,
Speaker 2: but no, it is the hardest thing I've ever done,
Speaker 2: I think. And yeah, I mean there's it's a NonStop
Speaker 2: It's cultural. I mean, it's really a deep cultural thing
Speaker 2: in the Midwest, especially in a your culture. I mean
Speaker 2: I can remember I was I drank long before I
Speaker 2: could drive, you know, before I had a license or
Speaker 2: you know, beer was a very, very much staple and
Speaker 2: it was just a common and there was not much
Speaker 2: to do, you know, in the in the country. And
Speaker 2: it stress is huge. Mental health is is a I
Speaker 2: watch a lot of friends. I've had friends my age
Speaker 2: commit suicide. Very you know, I know many friends at
Speaker 2: farm and have committed suicide. I know they had problems
Speaker 2: with drinking. And you know, you know, in the middle
Speaker 2: of winter, like it is right now zero degrees out
Speaker 2: right now, fairly above zero, and you're living with stress.
Speaker 2: I mean, people are going through a lot of financial
Speaker 2: straits right now with with agriculture being very tough, and uh,
Speaker 2: this is like you know, depression city in a lot
Speaker 2: of ways, and and the only way to a lot
Speaker 2: of people cope is alcohol. And it's a cheap form
Speaker 2: of of of stress relief. And so it's it's something
Speaker 2: that I've seen a lot of people struggle with. You know,
Speaker 2: I have myself obviously and not obviously, but I have,
Speaker 2: you know. And and so it's it's something that exists
Speaker 2: in a big way, and it doesn't get it's not
Speaker 2: something that a lot of people know about. We're kind
Speaker 2: of still in the flyover states. So and you get
Speaker 2: it too, man. But yeah, So it's it's uh, kind
Speaker 2: of just made my mind up. It's like enough is enough,
Speaker 2: and hopefully I can it can help people out there
Speaker 2: that they are seeking to do the same.
Speaker 1: I don't know, if you want to share. It's very
Speaker 1: obvious to us when we got on here. You've lost
Speaker 1: a lot of weight. Dude, I mean, you look good.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. The way that I was like, why are
Speaker 3: you so skinny? It's like the most ashly way of
Speaker 3: saying it. Do you look great?
Speaker 1: It's very empathetic, like it comes from the most beautiful
Speaker 1: place in Ashley's heart. Is like, Chris, you're skinny. Something's happening.
Speaker 1: It's like in my Italian grandma exactly.
Speaker 3: That's where I come from a Jewish Italian family. So
Speaker 3: it's like, I'm sorry if I have no filter. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but Chris, how much weight have you lost?
Speaker 2: I mean I don't really know it probably at least
Speaker 2: ten goodness? Yeah yeah, oh yeah, I mean my average.
Speaker 2: I don't weigh myself very often, but I could tell
Speaker 2: I'm as skinny as I've been since Hize school.
Speaker 1: So yeah, you're looking good man, you look great.
Speaker 2: I'll keep working on I just you know, can't eat enough.
Speaker 2: I've been really you know, yoga, I've been really getting
Speaker 2: into yoga, Ben, Yeah, you should. I'd like to.
Speaker 1: I do it every morning, do you really?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: It's like, well for four days a week. I guess
Speaker 1: I shouldn't say every morning, four days a week.
Speaker 2: I like it.
Speaker 1: I can touch my toes. You should see it. It's
Speaker 1: pretty awesome.
Speaker 2: It's like amazing. Wow.
Speaker 3: You guys want to like give like a lifestyle, uh,
Speaker 3: like class to Jared or something. He wants to get
Speaker 3: into this wellness? Uh do you mind? Chris? If we
Speaker 3: ask what was there a certain thing that inspired you
Speaker 3: to go sober? Over the summer or was it just
Speaker 3: like a general thing that you were thinking of for
Speaker 3: a while.
Speaker 2: You know, I don't think I can put a finger
Speaker 2: on anything. I just it's a great question. I think
Speaker 2: that I have a lot of responsibility in life and
Speaker 2: in general, I've you know, it's just getting to a
Speaker 2: point where the hangovers aren't getting any easier. It became
Speaker 2: more of not necessarily doing it as much for fun
Speaker 2: as much as your doing it is something to cover
Speaker 2: up just stress in general. And I felt like I'm
Speaker 2: at a point in my life where still single and
Speaker 2: still want to I want a family, and I still
Speaker 2: have a farming business that I care about tremendously and
Speaker 2: want to see see it through to uh, you know,
Speaker 2: to build on and and there's just nothing good that
Speaker 2: was coming from me from drinking, and so I feel
Speaker 2: like it uh And from a health perspective, I wanted
Speaker 2: to wanted to be the best that I can be,
Speaker 2: and and as I get older, that's getting harder, you know,
Speaker 2: So continuing to poison myself, you know, wasn't helping that process. Figure.
Speaker 2: You know, this is time to its Alcohol has not
Speaker 2: always worked for me, you know, So.
Speaker 3: Have you got on a sober date.
Speaker 2: Yet that's the one thing I have not done. I
Speaker 2: have not done that yet. I've done a lot of
Speaker 2: things like, yeah, being around friends that have I've you know,
Speaker 2: all my friends like to drink a ton, you know,
Speaker 2: it's you know, So that's that I have not gone
Speaker 2: on this over date yet.
Speaker 1: Offacially, the UH I wrote about the book. It was
Speaker 1: the first time I really like it came out publicly,
Speaker 1: but I had a you know, opioid addiction. Didn't really
Speaker 1: realize it was until maybe post and it was. It
Speaker 1: was a numbing practice for me. I realized how much
Speaker 1: I was numbing things. Right, you get off of it,
Speaker 1: you get some clarity of mind, and you're like, how
Speaker 1: did I live life for so long numbing all these
Speaker 1: things or getting more anxious about things. Maybe that I
Speaker 1: now with a clear head, don't have to be as
Speaker 1: anxious about I can process them, work through them. So
Speaker 1: that's why, you know, when we talk about this, Chris,
Speaker 1: I'm like, it's it's never a bad decision. As soon
Speaker 1: as the light bulb goes off. Some will never choose
Speaker 1: to make the decision to correct course. But as soon
Speaker 1: as that light bulb goes off and you're like this
Speaker 1: might be something I want to stop. It's incredibly courageous
Speaker 1: to stop, and and I just think it should be
Speaker 1: celebrated well. In our closing moments with you here, because
Speaker 1: we only have a few we've talked about the reordering
Speaker 1: of picks actually made the top four. We didn't get
Speaker 1: any other clarity on that, but that was a big deal.
Speaker 1: That was a huge deal for Ashley. She cannot wait
Speaker 1: you to tell you too. It's okay, you would have
Speaker 1: been there. She's going to run down stairs and say,
Speaker 1: I can just see it now, Jared, guess what, Crystal me. Yeah. Chris,
Speaker 1: we've talked about your career. We've talked about all these things,
Speaker 1: and what are you looking forward to now in this
Speaker 1: new kind of season of life as you take over
Speaker 1: the business, as you're still in Iowa. Obviously you said
Speaker 1: romance is something you still desire. But my what I
Speaker 1: was going to do on the show is tell you, like, hey,
Speaker 1: if that's really something you desire, like you got to
Speaker 1: go do it. Man, Like this this excuse of where
Speaker 1: you live maybe, uh, is only going to work for
Speaker 1: so long. So what does life look like moving forward?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 2: Uh, that's a good question. I mean I think the
Speaker 2: same things, just sort of getting back to, you know,
Speaker 2: focusing on on my my career and and you know,
Speaker 2: I think that person's out there, you know. I think
Speaker 2: when I'm at my best, that's when I'll find that person, right, so,
Speaker 2: you know, making sure my side of the streets clean,
Speaker 2: so somebody that when I do find somebody that I'm
Speaker 2: ready with an open heart and and proud of myself,
Speaker 2: you know, being able to to be that person that
Speaker 2: they are looking for. So I just that is, you know,
Speaker 2: I'm I'm yeah, I feel like farming and and just
Speaker 2: doing what I'm passionate, passionate about there it's here, and
Speaker 2: I was still feeds my soul. So now just finding
Speaker 2: a partner to go along with it. And and yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't know that hopefully the future has got a
Speaker 2: lot of surprises in it for me. But farming is
Speaker 2: pretty much where it's going to be. And but but yeah,
Speaker 2: going after, like you said, being a little more proactive,
Speaker 2: I think here in the next few years to sort
Speaker 2: of get something done. Ben.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we still have to find a girl that'll
Speaker 3: move to Iowa for you. So if we want to
Speaker 3: do any setups, that's still number one right.
Speaker 2: It's always been you know, you know, yeah, but it's uh,
Speaker 2: I mean I think that that Iowa and in another
Speaker 2: place are super achievable. You know, having having a balance
Speaker 2: there is very much real.
Speaker 3: So we have to look for some girls in Des Moines.
Speaker 1: I mean, trust me, as soon as Chris starts looking,
Speaker 1: it's not gonna take long. The guy's gorgeous, he's kind,
Speaker 1: he's considerate, he has his own business.
Speaker 3: Like No, nobody's worried for you.
Speaker 1: No, it's just a it's like a thing of like, well,
Speaker 1: what are you going to start? Man, it's zero degrees outside,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Go out there and find somebody to
Speaker 1: struggle with. It helps keep you warm. Chris, it's always
Speaker 1: a pleasure. Thanks for coming on. Thanks for joining us
Speaker 1: on the countdown to The Bachelor. Are you watching the
Speaker 1: show at all anymore?
