1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous Podcast

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio.

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 2: Hey guys, welcome to the Almost Famous Podcast. Today we

4
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 2: found out who the official cast was for The Bachelor Arite.

5
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 2: All those pictures and names have been released, So we're

6
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 2: gonna take a look. Ben and I are gonna give

7
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 2: our thoughts. We're not gonna go down every single one

8
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 2: of them, but we are going to go and look

9
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 2: through the cast photos with you guys, figure out who

10
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 2: we think is gonna be of interest to Taylor. Which

11
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 2: ones are the ones that look like her ex husband

12
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 2: or Dakota because those two look very much alike, and

13
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 2: there's a lot of cast members who also look like them,

14
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 2: and then who we think should just generally be compatible with.

15
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 2: You guys know that we did this a couple of

16
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 2: months ago based on some spoiler pictures, but not always

17
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 2: the spoiler pictures aligned with the real cast. So Ben,

18
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 2: are you ready to kick it off? Do you have

19
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 2: these guys in front of you?

20
00:00:58,240 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 3: Have them in front of me.

21
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 4: We've been doing so much research on Taylor Frankie Paul again,

22
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 4: go back and listen to our Frankie Friday episodes to

23
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 4: hear more about what's going on in Taylor's life. I

24
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 4: also think those will help you get a better understanding

25
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 4: of who Taylor is and will help us kind of

26
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 4: pick who we think could be right for her.

27
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 3: Ashley, I want to start.

28
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 4: Out with somebody who is an alumni of the University

29
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 4: of Purdue or Purdue University. Actually don't know which one

30
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 4: that is. My parents both have went there. He played

31
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 4: basketball there and played for my cousin. My cousin was

32
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 4: a coach at Purdue during this time. Matt Campbell is

33
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 4: his name.

34
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 2: I'm going to scroll down to him. It is an

35
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 2: alphabetic order. We are following the one from US Weekly.

36
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 4: He's tall. I think that's one thing that he's got

37
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 4: going for him. He is from Carmel, Indiana. That's another

38
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 4: thing he's got going for him. He's also the oldest

39
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 4: on the season, Ashley, at forty three years.

40
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 2: Oread gracious, this is not that forty three is old,

41
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 2: but this is old.

42
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 3: For the show for sure, definitely is. I do will

43
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 3: know that.

44
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 2: I don't remember a time. I think Kenny, you know

45
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 2: Kenny and Maury. I think he was forty on Paradise. Okay, damn,

46
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 2: forty three. He's dad, He's what a dad. So that

47
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 2: is somebody a dad of three, assuming he's been married before.

48
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 4: That's one thing that's going to be interesting, Ashley, as

49
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 4: you watch this season. Obviously we know that Taylor Frankie

50
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 4: Paul is a mom. Will she be looking for somebody

51
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 4: who is a dad or I mean, obviously she's going

52
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 4: to be looking for somebody that is interested in being

53
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 4: a dad. But is it going to be more or

54
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 4: less attractive to her to think that, Hey, we would

55
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 4: be right away growing the size of our family if

56
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 4: we got together.

57
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 2: They would be the actual Brady bunch, like they'd have

58
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 2: six and six. Come they've had three and three making sex.

59
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 3: I love the pretty bunch.

60
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 2: Why does he look so much cuter in the picture? Okay, wait,

61
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 2: is it the same photo shoot? I'm looking at the

62
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 2: picture from his Instagram and then comparing it to the

63
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 2: picture that they posted, and he looks it looks like

64
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 2: it maybe the same photo shoot. But he looks cuter

65
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 2: on Instagram, which is per huge. But he has a

66
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 2: really dorky position in the official photo with his arms crossed.

67
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 4: We can never judge these photos, but we will judge

68
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 4: them here until a bunch of lies because we know

69
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 4: nothing about any of these men, including Johnny. If you

70
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 4: look into Johnny's photo here, he's doing like a dua

71
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 4: lipa like leg spread to tease the audience. I mean

72
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 4: he he literally looks in his photo here Johnny from

73
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 4: New York, like, why am I not thinking of the bottle?

74
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 3: Where you put your foot up on the barrel? What's

75
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 3: the liquor?

76
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 4: Captain Morgan, He's doing the Captain Morgan look here, which

77
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 4: means he has really stretchy pants on and he's gotta

78
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 4: get I mean, he's as a man. He's got some

79
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 4: nut crushers happening.

80
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 5: It takes me forever to scroll in this thing. I'm

81
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 5: just trying to find his picture. These photos are gigantic.

82
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 5: John Josh Johnny, Okay, there he is. Oh yeah, he's

83
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 5: definitely in that position. So this guy is standing out

84
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 5: to you.

85
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 4: Why Mostly because I have no clue where his boyhood

86
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 4: is hit hiding in that picture. And I was just

87
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 4: more curious about how somebody like that can pull that

88
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 4: pose off.

89
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 2: Not the fact that he is a former professional baseball player.

90
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 2: He used to play he doesn't say who he used

91
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,679
Speaker 2: to play for, but he likes cheering on the mets.

92
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 3: He doesn't. They're pretty bad.

93
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 2: Usually he has signature dance moves that went viral on TikTok,

94
00:04:55,520 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 2: and so that a little bit of re flag there

95
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 2: asks a little bit of a red FuG for multiple reasons. One,

96
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 2: I don't know that I want my man going viral

97
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 2: for dancing on TikTok. But number two is he like

98
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 2: trying to be a Taylor, because like he wants to

99
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 2: be like this viral dancing TikTok couple.

100
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 4: I hope when he goes to bed at night, one

101
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 4: of his dreams is to become a viral TikTok dancing couple.

102
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 3: And that's how he thinks life is gonna work out right.

103
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, his picture is so funny, like almost

104
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 2: looks like it's not like he's attractive, man, but he

105
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 2: looks like it's everything about it kind of looks like

106
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 2: a caricature. It looks like a Bob Ross type thing.

107
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 4: You know who else. Also kind of looks like a

108
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 4: character to me in like the best of ways. He

109
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 4: looks like he could be in the movies. He looks

110
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 4: like a movie star an actor. For so many reasons,

111
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 4: I'm going with Mike T from New Jersey He's thirty

112
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 4: six years old, a brand protection manager, loves iced coffee,

113
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 4: Yankees games, a nice walk on the beach.

114
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 3: What a guy.

115
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 4: But if you look at his photo, you're like, that

116
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,559
Speaker 4: dude looks like an actor. To me, he just looks

117
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 4: like the guy that's gonna put a suit on. Honestly,

118
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 4: he kind of looks like one of those like TV villains.

119
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 2: He looks like a bad guy in a TV show,

120
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 2: But he.

121
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 3: Does look like he could be on TV.

122
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 2: Right Dawson would see this guy and without knowing he'd

123
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 2: go bad guy. He's like very into like good guys

124
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 2: versus bad guys. Right now, I can see that he

125
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 2: would be. This guy would be like in a law

126
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 2: of order or some type. Just like from looking at him,

127
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 2: doesn't seem like he has the personality to go on Bachelorette. Yeah,

128
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,559
Speaker 2: thirty six, I mean, he doesn't look like he fits

129
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 2: on this show like it we do.

130
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 3: Having a little older cast here. I like it, you know.

131
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's guys in their mid thirties to obviously forty three.

132
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 4: Richard from Charleston, South Carolina is just flexing on us.

133
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 4: In his picture, he's wearing like a eight thousand dollars

134
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 4: watch or maybe more. I can't really tell what it is.

135
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 4: It's a little blurring the picture.

136
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, can you tell that really? You know the brand?

137
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 3: Yeah?

138
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 4: That's uh well, I believe isn't that the watch that

139
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 4: you like? Can see through? I forget like the exact brand,

140
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 4: but those are very expensive. If not, it's a very

141
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 4: it's a very nice looking watch. But he made sure

142
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 4: to show that thing off in his photo.

143
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 2: He and Lou look very similar. But like, if I

144
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 2: were just to go off on like this photo, I

145
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 2: would say that Richard is like the nicer looking Lou.

146
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 2: But I do think that Lou and that is spelled

147
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 2: I say it like Lou because it's spelled l e W.

148
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 2: And that is silly to me. Lou is probably good looking,

149
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 2: but his haircut is doing nothing for him, and he's

150
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 2: probably much better looking on in real life. See Richard

151
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 2: can pull off this buzz cut, but Lou definitely needs

152
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 2: some hair up there and he'd be just here and

153
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 2: the trim is just like what's driving me. This is

154
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 2: what Jared does too, And I'm like, can you just

155
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 2: Nobody wants your two week long beard, okay, I want

156
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 2: your two day scruff two day two day scruff none

157
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 2: of this week. Oh, Ben's nodding as he's guilty of

158
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 2: his two weeks long beard two.

159
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 4: Ashley, we have a guy on this show who has

160
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 4: the kindest eyes in any photo I've ever seen come

161
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 4: out of the Bachelor. Okay, his name is Shane. Shane's

162
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 4: from Atlanta, Georgia. He's a private wealth planner. If this

163
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 4: guy ends up being a villain, he is going to

164
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 4: shock me because if you look at his photo, he,

165
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 4: for whatever reason, it feels like he's staring into my

166
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 4: soul with the kindest eyes I've ever seen.

167
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 2: Shane is one of the more right off the bat like.

168
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 2: He's definitely gonna be attractive guys to me. I say

169
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 2: that his eyes look like player, though they don't look

170
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 2: like I don't necessarily say I'm not kind, but it

171
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 2: says like I know how to play.

172
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 3: Mmm.

173
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,559
Speaker 2: It could go both ways in a very rare commodity.

174
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 4: Ooh interesting, Hey, why somebody else I want to talk

175
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 4: about here? Trenton. He's a pro athlete. He's a professional

176
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 4: athlete and three time paralympian. Damn, but why do they

177
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 4: have him in a T shirt? All these other guys

178
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 4: are like in jackets and sweaters. They said, you know what, Trenton,

179
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 4: what you look best in is like a baggy T shirt.

180
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 2: I'm not sure some guys do look best in their

181
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 2: backy T shirts.

182
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 3: He does look bad. I'm just saying like they did

183
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 3: nothing to help the poor guy.

184
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. How old is he? Thirty five? Yeah? Wow,

185
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 2: we got a lot of mid thirties. I'm thinking I

186
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 2: just want to say one general comment before moving on

187
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 2: to anybody specific. If you look at the promotional material

188
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 2: that they've posted on Instagram of these guys today, it's

189
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 2: just like, what are they doing. They're making the guys

190
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 2: dance and I'm not sure if they're making that. They

191
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 2: probably said, you know, when they were rolling the cameras,

192
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 2: now do your best TikTok dance for Taylor, And then

193
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 2: they like did some little like squirmy squirm move, probably

194
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 2: very much like the higgye and we all know how

195
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 2: that goes over for women. Really well yeah, and then

196
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 2: they decided to montage them together, and it's just makes

197
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 2: me feel like all the guys are so much lesser

198
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 2: good looking than they actually are. I think they're gonna

199
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 2: because because they do the dancy thing and the TikTok's

200
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 2: and the Instagram and then they freeze it and then

201
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 2: they just talk to the camera and you're like, oh

202
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 2: my god, you look five times better than you looked

203
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 2: in that previous clip.

204
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 4: Well, there is one very easy way for the show

205
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 4: to ruin this season, and it is to do what

206
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 4: they just did with this cast, making them like super

207
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 4: TikTok viral dancy, you know, social media focused for the

208
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 4: whole entirety of the Like, the season will ruin the

209
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 4: season like that, it will get so cheesy and corny.

210
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 4: I also think most people today are kind of not

211
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 4: over it. We still watch it for entertainment, but it's

212
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 4: not They're five years behind on If they wanted this,

213
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 4: like wanted it to be Tiktoki, they could have done

214
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 4: it five years ago. If they make a bunch of

215
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 4: like thirty six to forty three year old dudes dance

216
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 4: for the whole time on camera and like post it,

217
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 4: I'll stop watching.

218
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,479
Speaker 2: You're like, I'm going to sign off from the podcast.

219
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just dumb. It just they can't do that.

220
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 4: I hope that's a one and done.

221
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 2: I don't think they're gonna do it. I think they

222
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 2: I don't think Taylor is gonna want to be with

223
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 2: a guy who wants to be TikTok famous. Let's go

224
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 2: on to one of the guys. His name is Casey.

225
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 2: He's one of the ones that's more blindingly similar to

226
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 2: her ex'es. Casey is thirty, he's from Nashville. I think

227
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 2: I nailed like I said that this was one of

228
00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 2: the ones to watch out for early on. He says

229
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 2: that he's emotionally did he say it? I don't, you know.

230
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 2: The self describing really gets to us in these bios.

231
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 2: He's an emotionally intelligent romantic you can't call yourself emotionally intelligent.

232
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 2: But he's also a mechanical engineer and loves all things

233
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 2: science and math. So there's a plus.

234
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 3: Casey won't be around very long.

235
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 2: Ash I think he is going to be around. I

236
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 2: think we've seen him around on some of these dates.

237
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 2: I think this is the guy that we saw her

238
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 2: making out with in Vegas in spoilers, but I'm not

239
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 2: one hundred percent.

240
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 3: Ashley it.

241
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 4: Overall, let's kind of do our universal thoughts and feelings

242
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 4: towards this season coming up, based on the pictures, based

243
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 4: on the videos, you've seen, do you find this to

244
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 4: be a very attractive group coming into date Taylor, Frankie Paul,

245
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 4: I mean not really. A few stand out to you though,

246
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 4: So who in your opinion already?

247
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 3: No, it's fair.

248
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 4: Who are the two men that stand out to you

249
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 4: that you're like, hey, I could see them with Taylor

250
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 4: at the end of this.

251
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 2: Okay, so Casey okay, probably the one that I said

252
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 2: looked like lu but was more attractive, was that Richard?

253
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 3: Yes? No, I think Richard was the one.

254
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 2: Richard Richard?

255
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 3: Oh, Richard?

256
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, you guys. They're all good looking.

257
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 3: You said it wasn't a good looking cat, you know

258
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 3: what I mean.

259
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 2: I'm sure they're all very handsome men in real life,

260
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 2: but you know, and then Shane is very cute. So

261
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 2: I'm going to go with Richard and Casey as my

262
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 2: top two.

263
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm gonna go with Brad and Shane. Okay, it's

264
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 3: my top two.

265
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 2: Good choice because I wanted to include him. And then wait,

266
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, what was your other choice?

267
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:01,959
Speaker 3: Brad?

268
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 2: Brad?

269
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 4: Mm hmmm, Brad, because you gotta have a Brad and

270
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 4: a Chad every season, Brad.

271
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 2: But we didn't even go over Brad. He's twenty nine.

272
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 2: He's from Newport. He's a handsome California cowboy, and when

273
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 2: he's not on the ranch, he enjoys swing dancing, hanging

274
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 2: by the beach, and listening to Adele. This fearless romantic

275
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 2: is ready to start a family and prides himself on

276
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 2: being a generous, loving partner. I don't like the way

277
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 2: that like they just self described these nice Like you

278
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 2: can't just make things stories up about them. You're supposed

279
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 2: to tell them.

280
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 4: Factually, you're like ruining it, Like you really are ruining

281
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 4: it by trying to tell us, Oh, he's a really

282
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 4: great kind lover.

283
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 3: Like what, no, Taylor tell me that.

284
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 2: I just spit water on my keyboard when you said

285
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 2: she's a kind lover.

286
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 4: It's pretty much what I'm feeling like I'm reading here,

287
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 4: like the inn windows and the Yeah, he's so generous

288
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 4: and kind and he'll make sure everybody's happy, including himself.

289
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 4: I don't know, ash, I get excited for this because

290
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 4: I do believe this is going to It always happens

291
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 4: this way. The photos never do the guys or I

292
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 4: do think the women probably just do better at it.

293
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 4: But justice, we're always surprised. I am happy. Here's a

294
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 4: couple of takeaways from seeing the cast officially announced. I

295
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 4: am excited about the age of this cast. I think

296
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 4: the mid thirties to forty who are single are going

297
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 4: to add an element of just that is that has

298
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 4: been different and something missing from so many years previous.

299
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 3: So I am excited for this.

300
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 4: This layer of desperation, there's a layer of this is

301
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 4: my one shot.

302
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 3: If I don't have this, I've got to wait twenty

303
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 3: years to the Golden.

304
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 2: So guys, you know me, I just want to say

305
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 2: one more time. I always feel very uncomfortable with this

306
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 2: episode because I can't judge him on one photo and appearances.

307
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 3: You're just too kind. You're a kind, kind person and

308
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 3: never say anything.

309
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 2: If I said to you recapping bachelorettes like the girls

310
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 2: that are going to be on The Bachelor, and I said,

311
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 2: is this a very attractive cast and you said no,

312
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 2: you wouldn't say no. I couldn't say no.

313
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 4: That's definitely true. Actually you're right, But these guys will

314
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,760

318
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,520

321
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 4: focused in the West and is that going to be

322
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,280
