1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: This is the Benn and Ashley I almost famous podcast

3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:10,959
Speaker 1: I hear the inserts or a podcast, I get a

4
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: little height. I know, right, I'm pretty hype too. I

5
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: think it's actually a very important aspect of a podcast

6
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,240
Speaker 1: to have a little theme at the beginning that gets

7
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: you really excited. I get really excited when I hear

8
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: Krystal Leah's start theme. It really excited. I'm like, Yeah,

11
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 1: podcast ever, I mean, well besides ours. Of course. It

12
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: brings me back to high school when it was Friday

13
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: night light, the little chilly out what the fall weather

14
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: was hitting, and the eye of the tiger would come

15
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 1: over the stadium and I'd run out ready for the game.

16
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: That's kind of how I feel now for the almost

17
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: famous podcast. Everybody out there listening, actually, and I want

18
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: to tell you, hello, we've got a very special podcast

19
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: for you. One that I was I'm kind of looking

20
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: at what we're gonna talk about, and it's us kind

21
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 1: of just covering up a bunch of mistakes that we've

22
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: made last week by by not talking about some couples. Ben,

23
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: why do you have to keep everything so on point?

24
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 1: Because of course you asked that you talk about how

25
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: you're running out of the locker room, and now I'm like,

26
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: what would be your hit, your batting song if you

27
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: were a baseball player today? You move everything so along quickly,

28
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: and I'm like, wait, I had a great question. Uh, actually,

29
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: that's why we love you. If if I had a

30
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: song today to Tennessee Whiskey by Chris Stapleton, mine would

31
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 1: be long Live by Taylor Swift. Really, I'm not surprised

32
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: it's something by Taylor, But you don't even know. Oh,

33
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: it's such an epic Friday night light song. I I

34
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: really don't. I'm not surprised that I don't. That's just

35
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: the beauty of having you as my co host. You

36
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: teach me so many things in life that I never

37
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: really thought I ever wanted to learn. And I'm still

38
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not really sure I want to learn them. Well,

39
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: something I do have to learn, And I hope you've

40
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: educated yourself because maybe I'm a bad host by saying

41
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: that I didn't exactly dive deep into this controversy this week. However,

42
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: the headlines were quite interesting. Amanda and Robbie, Uh, they

43
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: broke up nine months ago and they're still feuding. It

44
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: has something to do with a Disneyland annual pass. I

45
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: believe that Amanda might have tweeted something saying that the

46
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: next of hers had emailed her because the credit card

47
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: that was attached to like automatically renewing the past each year,

48
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 1: which I guess she bought for him back and over

49
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: the summer had expired. She had changed credit cards or something,

50
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: so I wasn't automatically renewing, and he seemed to be

51
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: assuming that he would get his season pass just automatically

52
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: through his ex is uh financials. And then she ended

53
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: up exposing emails, and now I'm all lost. All I

54
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: know is that I think he expected to get a

55
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: free Disney passes year. I've never had amy, and actually

56
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: I've never had anybody care about me enough to buy

57
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: me a seven pass to Disney. That that is a

58
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: huge purpose. First, that is there only together for a

59
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: few months, and they're making like buying each other passive

60
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: Disney Amy. You'll know, of course, remember there was some

61
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: car he bought a car. What were they thinking? They

62
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: were dating for not only two for two months, and

63
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: then they were buying things for each other like that.

64
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: I will give you, guys the play by play and

65
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: then you discuss and take your side. Okay, First of all,

66
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: I'm trying not to have too much judgment, But why

67
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: were they having this fight publicly? Like, can't you just

68
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: email each other or Papa Tech? Well, I guess because

69
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: she got an email that infuriated her so much. Correct,

70
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: But then he's got his old side, which was, hey,

71
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: I got a note saying they were going to take

72
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: you to collections. So I was trying to collection. So

73
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: collections is when you don't pay a bill like Disneyland

74
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: or whoever can take you to collections at collect Yeah,

75
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: you know why because I've always paid my bills. But

76
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: that's right, Actually, that's right. I've had all my automatic

77
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: deductions in line. So I'm okay. First of all, the

78
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 1: fact that it's public, I hate. It's just so stupid,

79
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: But I'm okay with his response saying, wait, I tried

80
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: to email you because you're going to go to collections,

81
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: so I wanted you to know to pay your bill.

82
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: But then here's how he ruins isn't the entire goodwill?

83
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: Here's my standpoint. Why they're fighting publicly? I don't know.

84
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: I actually bet if you asked both of them right now,

85
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: are you glad that you left this you get like public?

86
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: I bet they would both say no, this was ridiculous.

87
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: But here, okay, And I'm on his side when it

88
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: comes to Hey, I'm just caring about you. Your car

89
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,559
Speaker 1: looks like something's messed up with it. Understand what you're saying. Amy,

90
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: I'm on his side. I get that. But he ruined

91
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: it for me. He ruined it by the way he

92
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:16,799
Speaker 1: he He ended the email and something that is completely vulgar, disrespectful,

93
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: could never be used against anybody ever. He ends the

94
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: email by think, oh, by the way, nice news. Who

95
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: yet he put on his nose? No, oh my gosh,

96
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: who is he? Who is he? That? Okay, Okay, calm

97
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: downs takes because this is a podcast and people need

98
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: to like be able to hear us. Um, here's my question,

99
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: because this was even discussed amongst my my guy friends

100
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: who are not backed their fans. They've they even watched

101
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 1: my season, but they solved this you on Twitter. Um,

102
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 1: and they are researching looking up. They asked me about it,

103
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: they called me. We all were talking about two nights

104
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 1: a good at dinner and and they all said, like

105
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: is this something? Like how is he not How is

106
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 1: Robbie not getting more tracks for this? Like if I

107
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: said that, if and I never would and I would

108
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: never even think about saying it, But like, how did

109
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: this this pass without anybody kind of standing up and saying, Robbie,

110
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: that is completely incorrect. Like, I don't care if you've

111
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: had the worst breakups. I don't care if you hate it,

112
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 1: hate this woman, I don't care if she did something

113
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: to hurt you, Like, don't criticize a woman's look on

114
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: an email that you're claiming was you being nice? Um? Yeah, right?

115
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: Areas getting all that crap the other week for the

116
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 1: fake pregnancy, but he's not getting much heat for this

117
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 1: squird to me, So this isn't normal, right, Like my

118
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: guy friends are great guys. A lot of them are

119
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: not all They've made the mistakes in their lives like

120
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: we all have, but like, for the most part, these

121
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: are really good guy and we could not comprehend how

122
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: a man would say this to an X like unbelievable.

123
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: And then publicly it's like it gets worse. It's like

124
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: it's so crass and vulgar and inappropriate and uncalled for

125
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: and every word I can think of, and then he's

126
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: not bright enough to not put that into writing and

127
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: publicly like what so he So, yeah, she brought it

128
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: to Twitter because she was like, wow, did she maybe

129
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: overlook the fact that he was trying to help because

130
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: of the collections comment or did she just do it?

131
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: And then he got so fired up that she would

132
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: refer to an x that was pretty obviously him, that

133
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: he decided to also take it to Twitter. And then

134
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: what did he say in the tweets to retaliate besides

135
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: the nice part? So so here's the yeah, I mean,

136
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: so here's what happened to. When I first saw her tweet,

137
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: I did do a tweet original tweet that she tweeted.

138
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: I had no clue she was talking about Robbie. I thought,

139
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 1: actually he was probably talking about her act husband and

140
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: who was a part of like they got to pass

141
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: together because he was taking the kids and she was

142
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: taking two kids. And so it's just worse. See, I

143
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: would have could have thought it was Josh Murray. Yeah,

144
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: so we didn't know that now with Amanda wrong for

145
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: her reaction towards Robbie. Robbie, Yeah, she should not have been.

146
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: He was trying to do something nice, at least that's

147
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,119
Speaker 1: what he's claiming, and so she should not have jumped

148
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: on him like she did. But but maybe with the

149
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: ending nice, it's it's worthy of actually going off on.

150
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: So I have a question, Ben, are you sure that

151
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,719
Speaker 1: he wrote that in the original email? I don't. I

152
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 1: actually I don't. Now you're making me question myself. So

153
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: you guys talk, you guys talking. I'll look it up.

154
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: But the the the point here is too and we

155
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 1: have to remember this with every relationship that we're that

156
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: we ever care about. This is a big story. It's

157
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: not uncommon for excess to be mean to each other.

158
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: That makes sense, it's not. It is very uncommon for

159
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: it to be public. But we don't know the backstory, right,

160
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe this is a theme of convert of

161
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 1: communication between them. Maybe maybe they aren't very nice to

162
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: each other typically. Um we so, so when Robbie did

163
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: in the email, maybe Amanda just assumed that was coming

164
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: from that place, and maybe Robbie was assuming that Amanda

165
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,839
Speaker 1: was going to jump on him for anything he did.

166
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 1: We don't know that, we don't have the back story here,

167
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: But what I do know is that I don't care

168
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: who your act is. I don't care what they's done

169
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: to you. There's no benefit do you personally to continue

170
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: to keep any type of anger, resentment, or unforgiveness there.

171
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: That's just completely inappropriate. And then to kind of make

172
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 1: this public like they did. It's just weird to me altogether.

173
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 1: And I'm sure they had said the same thing. I

174
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: would have a hard time believing either of them would

175
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: be happy that this is now a public fute. Yeah,

176
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,719
Speaker 1: it's pretty ridiculous. Can I also call out something that's

177
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 1: ridiculous about Robbie now that we're on this. Yeah, I

178
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: like Rock I just want to say that, so one

179
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: of us is defending him. I like him. He's cool,

180
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: but he always gets himself into hot water. Yeah. Yeah, Well,

181
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: he has his Instagram bio like his pick, like you know,

182
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: his Instagram pick, the little circle picture. Um, he has

183
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: an extra ring around it. And you may wonder why

184
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: the ring is to symbolize that he has an instant

185
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: story up. But he has two rings around his and

186
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: the reason is that way, it looks like he always

187
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 1: has an instant of fresh, instant story up so that

188
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: he gets as many views on his insant story as possible,

189
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 1: so as people looking at his instant stories over and

190
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: over again. I love that makes sense to two circles around. Mind,

191
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: you understand what I'm referring to. Yeah, I mean it is.

192
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: It is crafty. I will say that it is crafty.

193
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: But that why people are always like, oh, new story,

194
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 1: new story, even if it isn't a new story. So

195
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: interesting right, Well, he's giving us new stories for this

196
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 1: week's podcast. I think this is one of one that

197
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: is one of the most interesting stories of the off season. Uh,

198
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: don't fight publicly. Uh, it's it's not worth it for anybody. Um.

199
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: And we also have to publicly announced as a podcast

200
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: that we're you know, we think we're experts at this

201
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,599
Speaker 1: whole bachelor thing, but last week we found us that

202
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: we are not out there. That we're gonna have on

203
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: the phone today. We're so excited about that. We actually

204
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 1: and in all honesty, uh, either forgot about or we

205
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: just got two carried away in the breakups that we

206
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 1: we didn't even stop for a second. Stay. Is there

207
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: any other couples out there today on the podcast. We're

208
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: gonna have Derek because Derek and Taylor are still together

209
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: and doing very well, so we're gonna talk to him,

210
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: getna cast up on their relationship. There's also one other

211
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: couple that Ashley and I had no idea came from

212
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: the Bachelor World and we amy We've tried to track

213
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: them down. Do we have them on the podcast today?

214
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: So no, not yet. It's Holly and Blake and they're

215
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: actually married. And I have been facebooking her, texting everybody

216
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 1: from her season saying who has her number? Like hitting

217
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: Conto act on her website and trying and trying, and

218
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep trying. I will find her, but I

219
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: haven't yet. Well, guys, that just explains why we don't

220
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,719
Speaker 1: even know that they're married, because they're very private. We

221
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 1: did forget one other couple who will be on next week,

222
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 1: I hope, and that is Peyton and Chris Lamb did

223
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: who are they? Who in the heck are you? So

224
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: they go way back in time and they were not

225
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,839
Speaker 1: on the same season. They met on like Bachelor Pad

226
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 1: or somehow they met on one of those cruises I

227
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: don't know, and they got married and now they do

228
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: shows on h G TV. No, they're like remodelers, landscapers.

229
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 1: They will come on soon, so probably next week. Wow,

230
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: all these hidden couples awesome. I Uh, Chris Landon actually

231
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: reached out to me a couple of times. Uh here

232
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,839
Speaker 1: as since the Bachelor, and it would just cheer some

233
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 1: really good advice and information of me. So I I

234
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,599
Speaker 1: don't know that know him personally. I didn't realize that

235
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 1: he had met somebody from the franchise, but he has

236
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: reached out. I want to know. Ashley and A Yeah, okay,

237
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: you are the back. Their experts on this podcast definitely

238
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: more of an encyclopedia than I am. Okay, how did

239
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,079
Speaker 1: we miss and how have we never heard of this

240
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: secret couple that is married from the frantise? Like, how

241
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: did this beyond us? Apparently there's very private. I mean,

242
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: she's not responding to any calls in text. I think

243
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,599
Speaker 1: they're from yesteryear, do you know what I mean? So

244
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: they sort of dropped off the face more. I'm sure

245
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: she would be happy to come on. I mean, I'm

246
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: speaking for her, but it's just hard to track her down.

247
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 1: But how do we not even know they're together. Like,

248
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: that's my question is how did we miss them as

249
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: a couple, Because even when it was brought to our

250
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: attention that we missed them being together, none of us

251
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: even knew about how did that happen? I can fuzzily

252
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 1: remember them. Um, they were back in the Jake Pavelka

253
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: type era. Yeah, but that's not only one generation below us.

254
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: Like the last article I can find written on them

255
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 1: was from two thousand eleven. Okay, Okay, that's that's a

256
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 1: bit now a Now, Um, well I want to get

257
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: to Drek and Taylor. We don't have Taylor on today. Well,

258
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: Derek's going into a meeting, so now we're trying to

259
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: track down Taylor. Oh, as of last week, we did

260
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: speak very openly about the breakup and bastination. You know. Actually,

261
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: now this is the off season press. We're all across

262
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: the boarder now, actually, uh, can you just give our

263
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: listeners a little bit about what your kind of bachelor

264
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: off season looks like today? Like, what exactly does your

265
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: week consystem? This week is a little bit lighter? Um,

266
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: I have this today, I already prerecorded. I don't get

267
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: a podcast for this week. I am going to a

268
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: Scandal event for the finale on Thursday that I'm super

269
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: stoked about because it's one of my favorite shows. I

270
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: don't think it's been that great this seat this season,

271
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: but in the past I've just been enthralled. And I

272
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: have such a daddy crush. Oh yes, the epitome of

273
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: a daddy crush on Tony Goldwin, who plays the former president. Now.

274
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: But last week was intense. Last week I recorded too,

275
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: I don't get a podcast. I did a thing called Swapped.

276
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: It's a new series on Clever TV where I swapped

277
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: lives with another guy, an actor. So I had to

278
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: like do an audition tape. I had to go to

279
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: ju jitsu and just like live his life. And I

280
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: don't like jusits to I'll tell you that you have

281
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: like a stranger. You have a stranger's feet in your face.

282
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: You're like holding onto their sweaty body and you don't

283
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: know them. I don't like it. It's too invasive. But

284
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: they said that that's they said. They said that there's

285
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: something to that, like being in somebody that you're not

286
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: you're not familiar with, um personal space bubble, like it's

287
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: good for you on some level. Uh yeah, So I

288
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: had that, and then I also had actually a photo

Speaker 1: It's from Cassie. She says, Ben Ashley, love your podcast,

376
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: only wish to both for you so sweet. Secondly, and

377
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: most importantly, thank you for introducing me to bio Clarity.

378
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 1: Without it, I have never been able to handle going

379
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: into work without makeup. Two years ago, I turned twenty

380
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: five and my skin turned into something I didn't even recognize.

381
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 1: After trying so many different products, I decided to give

382
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 1: bio Clarity a try, and I'm never looking back. My

383
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,400
Speaker 1: skin hasn't looked this great and years. I honestly can't

384
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: believe what it looks like. In my wildest dreams, I

385
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: would have never thought I could go for a full

386
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 1: day of work with naked skin, but today I did it,

387
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 1: and I'm confident I will do it in the future.

388
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 1: So thank you. And thirdly, she loves ben Bitches. It's

389
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 1: the best segment of any podcast I listened to currently.

390
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: Let it out, Ben, you'll find that more people agree

391
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: than disagree. Keep up the good work and live your

392
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: best lives. I've been Cassie. Speaking of ben bitches. I

393
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: have two quick updates and more we do. Ben Bitches.

394
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: Number one, Ari and Lauren were spotted with the marriage

395
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: boot camp therapist. I was curious why, so I got

396
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: Dr V on the phone right now so we can

397
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: find out why they were spotted with her. Next, I

398
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: tracked down Holly of Holly and Blake that this is

399
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: all happened in ten minutes. I don't know. I just

400
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: have been over here working hard. So right after we

401
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: talk to Dr V, we can talk to Holly and

402
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 1: find out who the heck she is. And then I

403
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 1: hope you have time for ben bitches. Okay, maybe we

404
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 1: start with that, Ben. Are you ready to bitch right now? Um? Yeah,

405
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: I can so. Today in today's eight I'm I like

406
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: to connect I like relationship. I like relationship of friends,

407
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: I like relationship in romance, but I just like to

408
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: get to know people. It's fun for me. I don't

409
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: know what else we're doing here on earth unless we're

410
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: really investing into each other's stories. But what I've noticed

411
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 1: recently is is that people can't get off their phones.

412
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 1: And I'm not just saying like an old person complaints

413
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: like your face in your phone. I'm staying like, literally today,

414
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: we've we've evolved the place where we can multize tasks

415
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 1: like texting and have at the same time, I'm not

416
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 1: that talented. I can't I can't do it. And so

417
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 1: what I see what I'm trying to talk to somebody now,

418
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: I'm trying to invest in somebody. I'm trying to tell

419
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: somebody my my my life story, and they're just to

420
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 1: give their phone glancing at it. I see a level

421
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: of disrespect. I see a level of they don't care

422
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: that what I'm saying, They're never in the moment anymore.

423
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: I'm saying today that I'm bitching about technology because I'm

424
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: sick and tired of it all being consumed by our

425
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 1: phones and never being consumed by each other. What happened

426
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: to the goal good old days, so we could sit

427
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 1: down for dinner at night around the table or amongst

428
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: some friends and share life together. Instead, now we're shing

429
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: we have to share life together every second of the day.

430
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: It's exhausting. It's humiliating to be sharing your life story

431
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: with somebody and have them checking their computer screens or

432
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: their phones being the whole time. And I'm sick and

433
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 1: tired of nobody taking the time to get to know

434
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: me or letting me take the time to get to

435
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:42,239
Speaker 1: know them. I agree, I agree, Ben, it is a problem. Um,

436
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 1: you know, you got dinner with friends and they're on

437
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 1: their phones. I think that my friends are pretty good

438
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: about it, though. I think like we keep it in

439
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: our purse and I usually don't see him when we're

440
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: like sitting down to dinner. I think the worst time

441
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: is normally if you're sitting around a family room, then

442
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:57,959
Speaker 1: you're not talking to each other. Then you're just all

443
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: on the couch on your phone. What do you think

444
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: came up with a T shirt line? I think the

445
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: new Dinners T shirt for Dinners Threads is going to

446
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: be keep it in your purse. That's cute with a

447
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 1: little with a little picture of a phone we have.

448
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: We actually have an email here from Susie. She goes, Hi,

449
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 1: why not called Ben's bitching benting like venting, that's kind

450
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: of cuteventing. I think Ben Bitches is just our segment name.

451
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,959
Speaker 1: It's I literally have a list on my phone now

452
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: of things that just really bother me, and I started

453
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: to write it down. Um, I'm really excited each week

454
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: now to continue to share what really gets me, gets

455
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,479
Speaker 1: me going. Technology is a big one for me. Um.

456
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 1: We we've misplaced our ability to have deep relationships because

457
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 1: we're too consumed with what's happening every second of the

458
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: day or what up fates we're getting. And I get it.

459
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 1: It's exciting and for a lot of reasons, social media

460
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: helps us connect even better than we ever did before.

461
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: But you know, asked, I really do miss um the

462
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: ability to look somebody in the eyes then know that

463
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 1: I'm going to get an hour and a half of

464
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: undistracted communication with him. I think that is such a

465
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: lost are one that we need to get back. Let's

466
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: get back to simplicity A little bit um that important.

467
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: If we could do in Ashley butches for like ten

468
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 1: minutes to ten minutes, not ten minutes. No, sorry, sorry,

469
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 1: don't I don't want to scare you. Uh ten seconds? Bikers,

470
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 1: Why you gotta be on the road. You you take

471
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 1: up the entire lane and then you have to make

472
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: all the cars in that lane merge into the other lane,

473
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: and then you're really causing traffic issues. And it just

474
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: seems so selfish of me. And they seem so smug

475
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 1: on that bike. They're like, yep, the world revolves around me.

476
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: There you go, that's it. So I knew you were

477
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 1: going to take over this segment at some point, too

478
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 1: much down your alley. You just to let me have

479
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 1: my moment here. Sorry, darn, It's okay. Hey, we have

480
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 1: a special guests on. We've got to hear what is

481
00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 1: going on in the world of dr V. Dr V,

482
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: thank you so much for joining us today. Thank you

483
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 1: so much for having me and Astley. Hi are you there? Hi,

484
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: I'm here. Hi great. So UM, I wanted to start

485
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 1: out with two things. One, Ben, you were saying in

486
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: your last UM episode that it's hard doing a podcast

487
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 1: because you don't get a lot of feedback. You know,

488
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: you like, you can't hear the other side of what's

489
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: on the other side of the wall. So I want

490
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: to tell you guys, I love your podcast. I think

491
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 1: it's so great, and I think you're great together. Thank you.

492
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean I'm so happy that you guys are

493
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 1: doing this. And the second that I want to tell

494
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 1: you is that, um, today is my first day off

495
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: of coffee. So I'm not I'm not. I know, I'm

496
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:50,199
Speaker 1: not at my fascinated best. Do I really right? In perkey, Well,

497
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,439
Speaker 1: you can only imagine why I had to give up coffee. So, um,

498
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,239
Speaker 1: I decided to go down that path and I had

499
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 1: to let you know, like in the event that I'm

500
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,639
Speaker 1: not a hundred sent all there, I just wanna you know,

501
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 1: you're just wanna excuse. Really, at the end of the day,

502
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: they say, never like come up with an excuse as

503
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: to why you're not at the top of your game

504
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 1: because people are probably aren't gonna notice. Oh no, let

505
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: me tell you for me. It's like, that's the expectations slow,

506
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: that's the expectations slow, and then you can exceed their expectations. Right.

507
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 1: So that's the place where I come from, which is

508
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: just really it's like a logical games. So, um, I'm

509
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 1: here I'm ready and uh, what are we talking about today?

510
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: Dr V? I I just want to start by saying

511
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: two things. One, I'm upset to hear you're off coffee.

512
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: I am a coffee guy now for the im generous

513
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 1: coffee guys, so that's bad for me. Second, Um, as

514
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: soon as here's the phone, there's just like this piece

515
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: that came over me. I'm sure I actually feeling the

516
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,159
Speaker 1: same way I can just speak for your voice is

517
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 1: very soothing. It's like this like calming, no so for

518
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,199
Speaker 1: for just because the audience a little background here, Uh,

519
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,959
Speaker 1: dr V? Who are you and what do you do best? Uh?

520
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: In the world? You know that is a fair like

521
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: let me do broad breaststrokes here. So my full name

522
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 1: is Dr Venus Nicolino, which is a big mouthful, so

523
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: we just go by Dr b Um and what I do.

524
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 1: I do a lot of different things, um, but what

525
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: people mainly know me for is celebrity relationships. UM. I

526
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: had a shown Bravo called Elie Shranks when I came

527
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: to Marriage boot Camps, uh, Marriage boot Camp Reality Stars

528
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: and now we have Marriage boot Camp Rat to start

529
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 1: family edition. So it's been off of that show. Um,

530
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: so a Marriage boot Camp is in. It's just so crazy.

531
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: It's in its uh eleventh season, Um penn is airing

532
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: and then a season elevel of the airing another couple

533
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: of months. Um, you've had it, which You've had a

534
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: ton of batchelor Aluma on that show. We really have.

535
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 1: And I have to say, there's some of my favorite

536
00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: couples Jane and Tanner, Sean and Catherine, and uh, did

537
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: you have j j and Julia? Yeah, yeah we did,

538
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: We did. We have a lot of Bachelor couples and

539
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: Bachelor A couples and again they're like my favorite and

540
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: I think, um because they come on the show. Um right,

541
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: It's almost like they come on the show and we

542
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: get to see different parts of them than what we

543
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: saw on The Bachelor or the Bachelorette. Well, when did

544
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: you get down to the nitty gritty? We saw pictures

545
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: of you hanging out with Lauren and Ari recently. What's

546
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: that all about? Are they going to be on Marriage

547
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: boot Camp? You know, I'm just gonna say this. I

548
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: was annoyed that they seemed genuinely happy because I would

549
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: love to have him RuSHA. I'm just gonna say that.

550
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: But wait, that being said, do you do you feel

551
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: like Sean and Katherine or Jade and Tanner weren't genuinely

552
00:29:56,440 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: happy when they did the show. Um, I think everyone

553
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: comes on the show for some kind of reassurance. Um.

554
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: I think, I mean, do you do a show like

555
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: that simply because of the money. But two things could

556
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: be true. You could do the show for the money,

557
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 1: but you also could be doing the show to get

558
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 1: something out of it. And by the way, what I

559
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: love about marriage boot Camp is that you cannot avoid

560
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: getting something out of it. We put our cast members

561
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: no joke, I am not kidding you, like through the ringer,

562
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: through a real, real boot camp. Um, and people always

563
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: get something out of it. So I mean there's multiple truths. Um.

564
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: So yes, Um, you're probably you're you're you're You're probably right.

565
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: People do come on the show for money. I think

566
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: they also come on the show to get something else

567
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: out of it. So, I mean it doesn't Why were

568
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: you with ri and Lauren? I mean it didn'er to me.

569
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: Were you just give them a check up? Do you

570
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: do private counseling? What was going on? Well? I think that, Um,

571
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: you know, there's there's one person's miserable X is another's loving,

572
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: so may it just has to go down that way, right? Um?

573
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: And Yet what was fascinating about the season is that

574
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: we never really see that on television. We never really

575
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: see the transition. Um. And I think that was traumatic

576
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 1: not only to the Bachelor fans, but I think it

577
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: was traumatic to Ari and Lauren as well. Um. Did

578
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 1: you do you understand what I'm saying? Like we never

579
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: liked for example, Well, but we're able to see, um,

580
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 1: a couple that's breaking up, um, and then they're with

581
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: someone else. We never really get to see an actual

582
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 1: transition of what that might look like. Can you give

583
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: us any durt about wedding planning for them? Are they?

584
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 1: Are they planning on getting married soon? Yes? Yes, very soon.

585
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: This premarital counseling you're doing, you know? I I is

586
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 1: it called? Is what we call it premarital counseling? Or

587
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: would it be like guys put on the brakes? You

588
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like, I don't know if that's

589
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: like are you are? I think part of being on

590
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 1: the Bachelor, Um, because the relationship started in an open forum,

591
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: the relationship doesn't continue in an open forum. You go

592
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: behind closed doors right at some point you have to

593
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: press it. Like the metaphor, you have to press the

594
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 1: private button on your Instagram, right, I mean you could

595
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 1: open it any time, but you're going to have to

596
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: press that button. You're going to have to have an

597
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: intimate relationship without the cameras on you. Yeah. My question

598
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: is why do you think that they are rushing to

599
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: get married so quickly? Did they open up to you

600
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 1: about this? Um, they genuinely feel They genuinely feel that

601
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: they are ready for that step and they want that step.

602
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: It's not a way to improve to the audience that

603
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: this is really the right situation. I mean, look, everyone

604
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: has their own opinion about that. I mean, obviously that's

605
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: that is that yours. Actually do you do you feel

606
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: that that's why they'd be doing it? Sort of? I

607
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: think it's kind of ours way of righting the original

608
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: wrong he made m h um. And do you feel

609
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: I'm just curious, like, do you feel that it's wrong

610
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: because of the way that he did it, or do

611
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: you feel that it's wrong because we got to see

612
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: the transition of a relationship on television and that's that's

613
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: normally not what we see. I was just curious. I guess.

614
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: I don't mean, like I know it was right for

615
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 1: his life, but I guess it's a way to prove

616
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: to the Bachelor audience that he made the right choice

617
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 1: and in the end doesn't really matter if he was

618
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 1: so villainized, if he is happy with his soul mate

619
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: at the end of the day. M hm. And we

620
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: would I'm just trying to get a sense of it.

621
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 1: We would villainize him because of the way he people

622
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,439
Speaker 1: did felize him. I'm saying, I I don't I feel

623
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: like he's fine, but I feel a lot of people, yes,

624
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,240
Speaker 1: they're very, very angry about the fact that he proposed

625
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 1: to one World boards. We're going up everywhere. I mean,

626
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 1: I get I got you. I'm trying to understand in

627
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: what way did you see this or others see it.

628
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to understand others are seeing it as

629
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 1: he should never proposed to another girl if he wasn't

630
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:51,760
Speaker 1: really certain and then like it was an odd choice

631
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 1: to propose to Lauren on after the final rows. M

632
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: But I do want to move on to another relevant

633
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: question now that we have an expert here to answer

634
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: the question. Last week, Ben and I were discussing how

635
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: long is the suggested minimum to date before getting engaged?

636
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 1: And then how long should a couple be engaged before

637
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:22,439
Speaker 1: heading down the aisle? Well, I mean that is everyone. Look,

638
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 1: I guess success rate wise up. I believe the success

639
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: rate is three years. I'm not sure. I would have

640
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:36,280
Speaker 1: to check on that together. Yes, three years totals together

641
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 1: and then engaged for an entire other year or just

642
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: within that year. Oh, so you're engaged for three years,

643
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 1: then you have one year, and then you're married. So

644
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: you date for three years and then you're engaged in Okay,

645
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: interesting but that but that can move and change. I

646
00:35:56,280 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: mean everybody is so different. Um, So I think people

647
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: need to do what is best for them, and every

648
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 1: relationship is so different, and that's what's so unique about

649
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 1: them is that they're so different. You said that your

650
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 1: bachelor couples have been your favorite on Marriage boot Camp.

651
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 1: I want to know, is there a common denominator you

652
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 1: see amongst all of them that you don't necessarily see

653
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 1: with other couples not from the franchise. Yes, so, Um,

654
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 1: what I see as a common denominator is that, um,

655
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 1: the bachelor couples um romance is very set in this

656
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:44,439
Speaker 1: patriot dish of bs you the meaning that yes, meaning

657
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: that absolutely that the romance is set up for you,

658
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 1: that everything is set up for the mail, everything is

659
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: set up for the female, The actual work of the

660
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 1: relationship is set up for you. So what ends up

661
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,840
Speaker 1: happening is that the couples that come on our show,

662
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 1: it's breaking down those walls of this nothing's going to

663
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,359
Speaker 1: be set up for you now. Um, you're actually having

664
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 1: to be real and intimate with people. You're not going

665
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:16,319
Speaker 1: to be having dinner in an Irish castle. So how

666
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:21,800
Speaker 1: do you reconcile? Um? Those two very different ideas of

667
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: what a romantic relationship is and what an intimate relationship is, Like,

668
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: how do you reconcile the day to day versus how

669
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: you meant on a national television show. Um. So that's

670
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 1: the through line that I see with every single couple,

671
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: on top of feeling that they have to manage their image. Um,

672
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:47,320
Speaker 1: and that is something UM, anyone can empathize with. You know,

673
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: you're having to to manage your your your image all

674
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:52,320
Speaker 1: day long, and we want to admit that or not.

675
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: I think the Bachelor couples are in a situation on

676
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,439
Speaker 1: television where they're managing their image, and so they bring

677
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: that to their lives and they bring that to the

678
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 1: to to my show as well. So having to break

679
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: down those walls isn't easy. Um. And yet you know

680
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 1: there's some of my favorite couples because of those reasons, Um,

681
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 1: because they're still relatable, right. And do you see heightened

682
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,880
Speaker 1: communication between the bachelor couples just because we were the

683
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 1: relationships are formed in an environment in which they had

684
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: to they were almost forced to communicate on very vulnerable

685
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 1: topics early on. I see managed communication. Um. You know

686
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 1: it's not I understand what you're saying that you're seeing

687
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:47,800
Speaker 1: them being able to communicate on an intimate level, and

688
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 1: they believe they're communicating on an intimate level. Um, But

689
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 1: there's different levels of intimacy. Um. And often what I

690
00:38:56,200 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 1: see in managing their image, they're also managing their vulnerabilities. Um.

691
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 1: What they reveal to one another, how they are seeing

692
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 1: to one another and as a couple. So um. You know,

693
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 1: for example, a lot of the batchlor couples can mean

694
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 1: and make these packs of one another. Okay, we're not

695
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 1: going to talk about this, and we're not going to

696
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: talk about that, and that just doesn't work on my show.

697
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 1: It doesn't work, um, because the show doesn't allow that.

698
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 1: At some point during the process, during the breakdown process,

699
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 1: you're going to reveal of things you don't want to

700
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 1: talk about, because that's how the show is set up. Um.

701
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 1: So while I can understand why you would say, oh uh,

702
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 1: you know, they're they're communicating on an intimate level and

703
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 1: they're having these different conversations. There's different levels of of

704
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:51,280
Speaker 1: of intimacy. So I encourage, um them to go even

705
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 1: deeper with one another and not have to manage their

706
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: vulnerability so much before we let you go. Just to

707
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 1: sum up the whole law in an ari meaning, it

708
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,800
Speaker 1: seems like you are just doing some off camera marriage

709
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 1: counseling with them. Yeah, I mean it's the they based Again,

710
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:16,280
Speaker 1: they seemed like really happy, um, and I was bummed

711
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 1: about that because I would love to have the morrow

712
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 1: but you but the counseling is off camera and not

713

Speaker 1: we did the opposite of what everybody else does on

760
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 1: the franchise, and um, I actually lived in l A

761
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 1: when I was cast for the show, and then after

762
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:26,800
Speaker 1: Bachelor Pad, Um, I moved away to South Carolina to

763
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:29,320
Speaker 1: get married. And then most people moved to l A

764
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 1: and try to do something, but we just not go

765
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 1: ahead and kind of hit out from the world. What

766
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,760
Speaker 1: season of Bachelor Pad were you on the second season?

767
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 1: And what season of The Bachelor were you on? What

768
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 1: was Blake on? Um? I was on season twelve of

769
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:47,360
Speaker 1: The Bachelor? Who was the Bachelor? Um? Matt Grant that

770
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 1: nobody remembers? And then Blake was on Ashley A Bear season?

771
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 1: No way, Like I watched that season. Yeah, so he was.

772
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 1: He was the last one. I go home right before hometown,

773
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,239
Speaker 1: so I think he left fifth. Well, tell us a

774
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 1: little bit about your love story. How did you meet

775
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 1: on Bachelor Pad? Had you met beforehand? What was it

776
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 1: like when you first saw him? Well, I immediately thought

777
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 1: he was attractive. I walked in the door and I

778
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 1: killed the producers. I said, you know, what I want.

779
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 1: The only thing I want to see when I walk

780
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 1: in is just a handsome man. And he when I

781
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:25,840
Speaker 1: walked into the house for Bachelor Pad, he was the

782
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:27,360
Speaker 1: only guy in there, and I was like, all right,

783
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 1: well this worked out well, I'm ready to go UM

784
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 1: and so we just got along really well. But I

785
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:40,719
Speaker 1: had been in a relationship previously, previously UM to Michael Sagliano,

786
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:43,880
Speaker 1: who was on UM. Yes, so we were engaged and

787
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 1: we had just called up our engagement and then they

788
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,880
Speaker 1: threw us both in Bachelor Pad together, which was a

789
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 1: little tough. But so how did you meet Michael then UM?

790
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 1: Just through the show and you were yes, and then

791
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:00,960
Speaker 1: they threw your x fee on and say into the

792
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 1: bunch in Bachelor Pad Too, where you then met Blake.

793
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:10,839
Speaker 1: Did you leave in a very strong monogamous relationship? Blake

794
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:14,839
Speaker 1: and I left the show engaged. So engaged. Yeah, Blake

795
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 1: proposed on the finale of Bachelor Pad Too. Do you

796
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 1: have a Neil Lane diamond? Yes? I do. How in

797
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:27,799
Speaker 1: world do we know about you? I know, Well, it's

798
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 1: because we really did like just give it all up

799
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:35,279
Speaker 1: and like speak away and just lived their own life. Well,

800
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 1: and I know I'm like, we're the only couple from

801
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 1: Bachelor Pads, the couple from Bachelor Pad. Yeah. I think

802
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:44,720
Speaker 1: that's how kind of best Are in Paradise started, because

803
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 1: you know, we got engaged and we fell in love

804
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:48,320
Speaker 1: and they're like, oh well this is this could be

805
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 1: a thing, and so they wanted more engagements at the end.

806
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 1: So I think that's, you know, kind of how that's

807
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 1: where in Paradise's off of that. That's amazing. I love this.

808
00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 1: I love that we can add your name to the

809
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 1: list of successful Bachelor couple, right, I know, and I

810
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: won Bachelor pet so I won double time. Oh my gosh. Yes,

811
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:08,800
Speaker 1: you got money out of it too. Yeah. Yes, so

812
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,319
Speaker 1: you moved to North Carolina. But you guys have an

813
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:15,240
Speaker 1: aged a TV show together, right, No, that's a difference. Okay,

814
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 1: we live in South Carolina. Um, there's another couple that

815
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 1: came out of the show. They live in North Carolina.

816
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:29,400
Speaker 1: Another couple. Yes, Um, she I know was on Bachelor

817
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: Pets one. I think our bachelor. Yeah, that's what I

818
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 1: think she was. But then he was just on Ali

819
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 1: season and I think they met and got together. But yeah,

820
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:41,439
Speaker 1: they do all that stuff in North Carolina and Blake

821
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 1: and I just live the simple life of South Carolina.

822
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 1: What do you guys do? And do you have any kids? Um?

823
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 1: We um? Okay, So Blake is a dentist. I think

824
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 1: that's why they wanted him for Ashley A Bear season.

825
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 1: He was also dentist. Um. And then I run a

826
00:46:57,040 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 1: princess party company and so I I have a bunch

827
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:02,359
Speaker 1: of girls that dressed up as princesses and go out

828
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 1: to parties and stuff. And then I also have a

829
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:07,320
Speaker 1: spreight gaining company. Um. And then I ended up publishing

830
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 1: my children's book right after Bachelor Pets. I travel around

831
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 1: and do stuff with that. So every day is different

832
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: for me. So you have a children's book and you

833
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 1: have a princess party company. Do you have children? Okay? So, um,

834
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:22,839
Speaker 1: we try, I started trying. I don't. We don't talk

835
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:26,239
Speaker 1: about this ever, but um, I will open up to you.

836
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:31,239
Speaker 1: Here's a little inside's cute. Um. We started trying as

837
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 1: soon as we got married, which was almost six years ago.

838
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:36,359
Speaker 1: And then within the last six years. You know, we've

839
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:39,759
Speaker 1: done everything to have children. Um, and we can't. So

840
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 1: we I mean we literally have tried everything We've gone through.

841
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 1: I ya um, couple several times, and right now we

842
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 1: just are at a stand still until we figure out

843
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:54,400
Speaker 1: what to do. I'm so sorry. It's okay, And I

844
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:57,719
Speaker 1: didn't realize that, you know, one and eight women are infertile,

845
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:00,440
Speaker 1: and then one was watching all these babies? Yeah what

846
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 1: at eight? So I'm just watching all these things hop

847
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:06,319
Speaker 1: about babies left and right, and I'm like, what's going on? Well,

848
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:08,880
Speaker 1: I have to ask, do you know what already did

849
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 1: with Lauren last week for April Fools? Yes? Yeah, So

850
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:20,440
Speaker 1: people are very sensitive that and you know more, I

851
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:24,879
Speaker 1: do you think? I hate I hate when people joke

852
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 1: about that because it is such a sensitive subject for people.

853
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 1: And I did see that, and I was I was

854
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 1: a little costard. I was like, no way they would

855
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:36,279
Speaker 1: do that. That was such like her. I don't know,

856
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 1: but was I actually her belly which you just eat

857
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:45,799
Speaker 1: a lot, you know? Okay, Yeah, that was pretty insensitive.

858
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:48,719
Speaker 1: But I'm not one to get like. I'm not one

859
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 1: of those people online that's going to write all this

860
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 1: mean thing, you know, all these same things, So I

861
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 1: just gonna let it go. But I it did kind

862
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:59,160

874
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:34,719
Speaker 1: for calling, and thank you for letting us in on that. Now,

875
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 1: maybe people will second guess before they ask a question

876
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:43,360
Speaker 1: like that. Right about it bring I think, but not

877
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:46,879
Speaker 1: a lot of people are aware of imfertility because there's

878
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:49,840
Speaker 1: just people popping up babies left and right, and the

879
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 1: people that are struggling with it just don't talk. And

880
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:54,920
Speaker 1: I've been so afraid to talk. And every time I like,

881
00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 1: just open up a little bit to someone, I feel

882
00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:00,160
Speaker 1: like God sends something my way, you know, it is

883
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:02,440
Speaker 1: just like hey, thanks for opening up, here's a reward.

884
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 1: And so I feel like lately I've been wanting to

885
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 1: open up more and more, and um, as there we go,

886
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:12,799
Speaker 1: I just did. Well, now you have. You've just opened

887
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:15,120
Speaker 1: up to a lot of people. So hopefully God will

888
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 1: send lots of little things your way. Wonderful. All right, Well,

00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 1: people started tagging me on Instagram, taking on my post,

894
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:36,200

Speaker 1: you know what else I love? I love Litote. I

906
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:13,239
Speaker 1: actually went to the mall the other day and I

907
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 1: couldn't find anything, And I wasted two hours of my

908
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:20,040
Speaker 1: day and I couldn't even find what I was looking for.

909
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:22,600
Speaker 1: It was so frustrating. I was just looking for a

910
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:26,680
Speaker 1: basic sweater. Does that even exist anymore? My only options

911
00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:29,839
Speaker 1: were these super low quality v necks or something really

912
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 1: really expensive or unflattering. This is why I hate going

913
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 1: to the mall to shop, but it's also why I

914
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:39,360
Speaker 1: love litote. You can rent up to three hundred dollars

Speaker 1: Hi've been and Ashley. My name is Lauren. To live

942
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:10,839
Speaker 1: in San Francisco. My boyfriend of four years currently lives

943
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:13,880
Speaker 1: in Menifee, which is in Riverside County, Southern California. We

944
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 1: first met we both lived in San Francisco, but for

945
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 1: the past year he's moved back to Southern California to

946
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:20,560
Speaker 1: be with his family. I'm stuck in San Francisco for

947
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:23,520
Speaker 1: the time being because I'm finishing up my degree. We've

948
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:25,680
Speaker 1: been making it work with lots of road trips back

949
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:28,800
Speaker 1: and forth. Your podcast helps me survive those eight hour drives,

950
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:31,280
Speaker 1: but I need help. It feels as if our spark

951
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:33,480
Speaker 1: is diminishing, and I'm not sure on what I should

952
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:35,880
Speaker 1: do to help us rekindle our love. Do you have

953
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:38,840
Speaker 1: any tips that for surviving a long distance relationship, seeing

954
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:41,160
Speaker 1: as you might have had experience with this coming off

955
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 1: the Bachelor franchise? Love you both so much. You inspire

956
00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:48,920
Speaker 1: me on every road trip warmly Another Lauren Well, I

957
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 1: was in a long distance relationship for three months. Um,

958
00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:58,120
Speaker 1: I faced timed every day. It didn't exactly you know,

959
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:00,319
Speaker 1: turn out in the end. So I don't don't think

960
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:03,080
Speaker 1: that I'm the person to be giving advice on this.

961
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:09,440
Speaker 1: Dirty FaceTime. Uh No, no dirty FaceTime, Amy skot Amy

962
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 1: dirty FaceTime. So she might be able to help you

963
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 1: FaceTime you send dirty videos, sure, and she totally opened

964
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:22,400
Speaker 1: to dirty FaceTime. I've sent a couple like mild picks,

965
00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:25,080
Speaker 1: like in a sexy bra with like a lot of cleavage.

966
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:29,920
Speaker 1: But I think I think sexy picks are normally sexy

967
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:32,920
Speaker 1: when there's more to like imagine, like the illusion, not

968
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 1: just like all out their nudies. Do you do nudies?

969
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 1: She does? But no, faith Mark Mark. Okay, as a man,

970
00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 1: a married man, and you've been married for like nineteen

971
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:49,880
Speaker 1: years wait, sorry, together twenty and I finally encourage my

972
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:52,320
Speaker 1: married friends to do it, even if they're not in

973
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:55,319
Speaker 1: a long distance relationship. It's like, come on, but wait, okay.

974
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:57,839
Speaker 1: At first, I was gonna ask, Mark, do you how

975
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:00,600
Speaker 1: much do you love that? Does your I do it?

976
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:03,440
Speaker 1: Did you ever do it? Look, I'm all for it.

977
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:06,319
Speaker 1: If your couples into it, great. Neither one of us

978
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:08,560
Speaker 1: have ever done anything like that, and I don't think

979
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:10,200
Speaker 1: we'd be able to pull it off. I think it'd

980
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:12,439
Speaker 1: be funny at this point. It depends. Yeah, it would

981
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:15,200
Speaker 1: be funny at this point. You're right, twenty years into it.

982
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:19,200
Speaker 1: I don't think that sexy pictures and videos can keep

983
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:27,239
Speaker 1: the relationship completely alive though, um yeah in my case.

984
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:28,680
Speaker 1: And you gotta do what you gotta do. If it's

985
00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:31,000
Speaker 1: long distance, it's long distance, and you gotta you know,

986
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:33,840
Speaker 1: make the best of it. For you guys, I mean,

987
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:35,920
Speaker 1: you're together for four years, so I feel like you're

988
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:38,880
Speaker 1: pretty solid. I think right now, the only thing is

989
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 1: the distance and as long as you get to move

990
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:45,359
Speaker 1: and eventually you're just your degree. I mean, you're gonna

991
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:48,120
Speaker 1: be fine. Just push you, just push it through. You

992
00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 1: have an ending to That's actually what Kevin always wanted

993
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:53,200
Speaker 1: with us, and was one of the reasons that I

994
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:54,840
Speaker 1: was like, this is the point where I need to,

995
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 1: you know, put a hold to this, because he kept saying, like,

996
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:01,719
Speaker 1: even if you tell me you'll move in a year,

997
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:03,920
Speaker 1: or like I get a job and the job doesn't

998
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:05,920
Speaker 1: start for a year, that would be fine because I

999
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:08,200
Speaker 1: have an end date as to when this long distance

1000
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:10,920
Speaker 1: will end. And it sounds like your long distance will

1001
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:13,600
Speaker 1: end when your school's end. There in the same time zone.

1002
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:16,799
Speaker 1: This she lives, this guy lives in l A. It's

1003
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 1: like that's a drive. They can meet in the middle,

1004
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:23,800
Speaker 1: so that means hello, passa robols. Yeah, you guys should

1005
00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:25,880
Speaker 1: do a lot of meeting in the middle. You know.

1006
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:28,920
Speaker 1: Just listen to Marion Morris, just meet him in the middle.

1007
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 1: That song is on repeat. I can recommend a wonderful

1008
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:36,239
Speaker 1: hotel and pass the robots for the years. I mean,

1009
00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:39,919
Speaker 1: three years, three hours each person. But I think, look,

1010
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:43,760
Speaker 1: I think for all couples. I find a married couples

1011
00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 1: like keep finding this with my friends, they just like

1012
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:51,400
Speaker 1: let the fun die. And it's like, come on, people,

1013
00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:54,640
Speaker 1: I would, I would well amy you and I can

1014
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:57,920
Speaker 1: easily say that as like we we haven't been in

1015
00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:00,960
Speaker 1: these like you know, marriage long relationship. I haven't been

1016
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:03,040
Speaker 1: married for twenty years, but I've been in relationships for

1017
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:07,040
Speaker 1: many years, and it's like send a little photo, it's fine. Yeah,

1018
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:09,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know how it is when

1019
00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:11,520
Speaker 1: the when the magic dies, I can teach you that

1020
00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:15,120
Speaker 1: sounds scary, but bring it back to life and then

1021
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 1: it doesn't die. I don't think my parents, my parents

1022
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:20,760
Speaker 1: haven't let it die. My dad textes my sister and

1023
00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:24,120
Speaker 1: I on the daily. Yesterday he sent a bit moji

1024
00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:27,720
Speaker 1: that says, news flash, I love your mother. Like always,

1025
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:30,200
Speaker 1: just text my sister and I saying I love your

1026
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:35,240
Speaker 1: Mom's so cute. He still leaves a note on the

1027
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:38,400
Speaker 1: kitchen table every day before he leaves for work. It's

1028
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:42,200
Speaker 1: really adorable. How many years for them, um. They have

1029
00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:46,600
Speaker 1: been married for thirty seven and together for forty. They

1030
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:49,840
Speaker 1: met with my almost twenty. Yeah, so it's pretty What

1031
00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:51,680
Speaker 1: about just a dirty text. It doesn't have to be

1032
00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:54,760
Speaker 1: a photo, Like if you want to just start start light,

1033
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:59,320
Speaker 1: that's good. Get your toe into the pool a little bit. Yeah, sure. Yeah,

1034
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:03,040
Speaker 1: you can google it too, if you google tips. But

1035
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:06,760
Speaker 1: everything's on the internet. But hey, Lauren, I'm thinking, since

1036
00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:09,280
Speaker 1: you guys are in the same state, how about you

1037
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:11,400
Speaker 1: go to him one week, then he goes to you

1038
00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:13,200
Speaker 1: the next week, and then you meet in the middle

1039
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:15,520
Speaker 1: of the other week, and then then you take a

1040
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 1: week off. That way, you're seeing each other consistently every

1041
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:21,920
Speaker 1: five to six days. I mean that's pretty good. And

1042
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:24,040
Speaker 1: then you're spending really quality time because it's like on

1043
00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:26,439
Speaker 1: the weekend and you'll have to even bother with work

1044
00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:29,560
Speaker 1: or any distractions. Look, long distance relationships are hard. I

1045
00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:32,520
Speaker 1: also read that experts say if you know the other

1046
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:35,880
Speaker 1: person's schedule, it really really helps, and I find that

1047
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:38,960
Speaker 1: to be true. Like if he's like, hey, this is

1048
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,280
Speaker 1: what I'm doing today. I have a lunch meeting and

1049
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:45,120
Speaker 1: then I'm going to you know, play golf, and then

1050
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:47,920
Speaker 1: I'm going to do this, and then she knows, it

1051
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:50,480
Speaker 1: really helps because you feel sort of person It's super

1052
00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:53,920
Speaker 1: weird that, but it really does. It cuts down on

1053
00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:58,240
Speaker 1: anxiety if they're not responding, or you're like, why haven't

1054
00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:00,880
Speaker 1: I heard from him and so and so hours, Well,

1055
00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:04,200
Speaker 1: it's because he's been doing this exactly. You know what's

1056
00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:07,040
Speaker 1: going on. I'm in a meeting, I'm at lunch, I'm

1057
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:09,480
Speaker 1: taking a shower. I mean I'm a little too. I'm

1058
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:18,000
Speaker 1: taking to Amy's very Amy's a very communicity. Alright, let's

1059
00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:22,720
Speaker 1: take the question on the Broadway show. Yeah, after we

1060
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:27,480
Speaker 1: do a little bit of a word from fab Fit Fun.

1061
00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:29,920
Speaker 1: You guys, I did a photo shoot for fab fit

1062
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:32,280
Speaker 1: Fun this week, and I got a sneak peek at

1063
00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:36,200
Speaker 1: the Summer Box, which is pretty darn intense. It's worth

1064
00:59:36,680 --> 00:59:41,600
Speaker 1: hundreds of dollars. It's it's so good. There's tart makeup. Uh,

1065
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:44,760
Speaker 1: there's just some amazing brands in there that you're like,

1066
00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:47,760
Speaker 1: wait a second, there's no way you're only getting this

1067
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:52,600
Speaker 1: he thirt. It's pretty impressive. But let's talk about what's

1068
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:55,560
Speaker 1: actually in the springbox, which is what you can get now.

1069
00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:59,640
Speaker 1: There's a Rachel Poley reversible clutch. It's super cute. What

1070
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:01,920
Speaker 1: I love about it is that you can stuff anything

1071
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:05,320
Speaker 1: in it. Because it has a design that can hold

1072
01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:08,280
Speaker 1: way more than your average clutch. Then there's a free

1073
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 1: people and Understated leather eyemask. What I love about this

1074
01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:14,840
Speaker 1: eye mask is that you stick in this little cooling

1075
01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:18,120
Speaker 1: gel element so that it's a sleep mask. And it's

1076
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:21,320
Speaker 1: also uh, you know, an ice pack for your face

1077
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:23,120
Speaker 1: in the morning, because we all know that I like

1078
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:25,280
Speaker 1: putting ice in my on my face in the morning

1079
01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:28,720
Speaker 1: because it deep puffs my eye area. Then there's also

1080
01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:32,800
Speaker 1: an Anderson Lily candle. Everybody needs a new candle. You can't.

1081
01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:35,120
Speaker 1: I truly believe that candles are one of the things

1082
01:00:35,160 --> 01:00:37,360
Speaker 1: in life that you can't get enough of because they

1083
01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:40,120
Speaker 1: burn out and you're always gonna need another one. Um.

1084
01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:43,320

Speaker 1: on and on and and also loved by me. All right,

1094
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:19,880
Speaker 1: let's talk about a Broadway show, Mark, because I have

1095
01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:21,840
Speaker 1: I have some things to say about it. I'll bet

1096
01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:24,320
Speaker 1: you do. Janelle says she is so curious to hear

1097
01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:27,520
Speaker 1: Ashley's thoughts on Dear Evan Hansen. I saw it left year,

1098
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:30,080
Speaker 1: and it truly changed my perspective on the relationships I

1099
01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:32,120
Speaker 1: have with the people surrounding me. The show is a

1100
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:34,919
Speaker 1: great message and opens up an important dialogue about human

1101
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:38,040
Speaker 1: connection and the effects of social media. Ashley, did you

1102
01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:42,080
Speaker 1: feel this way? Okay? So I thought that there was

1103
01:01:42,120 --> 01:01:44,760
Speaker 1: a really good message in the show. As she just says,

1104
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:47,560
Speaker 1: the message is that you have to be really aware

1105
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:50,680
Speaker 1: of all the people around you, um, even if you're

1106
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:53,080
Speaker 1: not really directly friends with them, but if it's somebody

1107
01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:56,200
Speaker 1: at your school who seems lonely, or even someone at

1108
01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:58,680
Speaker 1: work who seems very disconnected and lonely, like you have

1109
01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:02,280
Speaker 1: to kind of of realize what that person is going

1110
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:06,920
Speaker 1: through and always reach out and be friendly and nice.

1111
01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:10,000
Speaker 1: And there's a whole message on like anti bullying in

1112
01:02:10,080 --> 01:02:13,080
Speaker 1: the show. What I didn't love about it, and it

1113
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:16,720
Speaker 1: you know, it's the Tony Winner. It is just pretty

1114
01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:21,000
Speaker 1: much everybody's favorite original show on Broadway right now. But

1115
01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:23,840
Speaker 1: what I didn't love about it is that the whole

1116
01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:27,200
Speaker 1: storyline is based on lies. So instead of concentrating on

1117
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:31,200
Speaker 1: the important message, I found myself frustrated because I knew

1118
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:33,360
Speaker 1: that Evan was going to get caught in these lies,

1119
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:36,400
Speaker 1: and the entire time just dreading, oh is this the

1120
01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:38,960
Speaker 1: moment is this when it all falls apart? And I

1121
01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:41,600
Speaker 1: was less concentrated on the good message. I just wish

1122
01:02:41,640 --> 01:02:46,320
Speaker 1: that they could have somehow made it less about lying. Yeah,

1123
01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:48,880
Speaker 1: And then I have to say, wasn't totally blown away

1124
01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:51,960
Speaker 1: by one music I don't get. I don't get it.

1125
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:53,240
Speaker 1: It's kind of like something I should do in my

1126
01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:55,920
Speaker 1: I don't get a podcast because I don't get the

1127
01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:59,360
Speaker 1: hoopla that surrounds to Ravin Hanson. Was it a good show,

1128
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:04,760
Speaker 1: really good with Ben Platt? No, I think everybody keeps

1129
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:07,600
Speaker 1: saying this, so the guy who played Evan was very,

1130
01:03:07,720 --> 01:03:10,080
Speaker 1: very good. But now every time I say that I

1131
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:13,040
Speaker 1: liked it, but I wasn't blown away, people are like, oh,

1132
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:17,480
Speaker 1: it's probably because you weren't watching it with Yeah, I've

1133
01:03:17,560 --> 01:03:20,320
Speaker 1: heard such extraordinary things about him and people just love

1134
01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:22,560
Speaker 1: him so much. And then he was at our jingle

1135
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:25,800
Speaker 1: ball and everybody was just freaking out. Okay, so maybe

1136
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:29,080
Speaker 1: that wasn't so guys, don't kill me. Um, I liked it.

1137
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:31,560
Speaker 1: Probably not going to see it again. See, I'm a

1138
01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:36,040
Speaker 1: big Broadway fan. I saw Hairspray ten times on Broadway.

1139
01:03:36,560 --> 01:03:41,320
Speaker 1: I saw my one of my favorite like lowbrow musicals

1140
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:44,160
Speaker 1: is called Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson. I saw it five

1141
01:03:44,280 --> 01:03:47,280
Speaker 1: times in three months. It was a parody about Andrew

1142
01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:50,200
Speaker 1: Jackson's life and it had the most millennial humor and

1143
01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:56,080
Speaker 1: I get angry at Hamilton's because Hamilton's is what Bloody

1144
01:03:56,080 --> 01:03:59,320
Speaker 1: Bloody Andrew Jackson was. But somehow was able to find

1145
01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:03,640
Speaker 1: the audience, so that Bloody Bloody really struggled to get. Yeah,

1146
01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:07,400
Speaker 1: closed after four months on Broadway. But it's very Hamilton's

1147
01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:10,720
Speaker 1: like it was. It was a rock musical that just

1148
01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:13,800
Speaker 1: made fun of Andrew Jackson. It was so great. Did

1149
01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:17,520
Speaker 1: you see Mean Girls? I will see me and Girls. Um.

1150
01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:20,080
Speaker 1: I want to see Kinky Boots because my favorite American

1151
01:04:20,120 --> 01:04:23,000
Speaker 1: idol um, David Cook is in it. For a very

1152
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:25,400
Speaker 1: limited time, so I'm gonna go see that on May fourth.

1153
01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:29,760
Speaker 1: I believe what else? Did I see a zillion billion times? Oh?

1154
01:04:29,880 --> 01:04:33,000
Speaker 1: My god? I saw Rock of Ages seven times. Yeah.

1155
01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:37,000
Speaker 1: So anyway, guys, I saw a Laddin three times. I

1156
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:38,880
Speaker 1: see all, I see it all, I see it all.

1157
01:04:39,120 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 1: But uh, I had very very high expectations for Dear

1158
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:45,480
Speaker 1: Evan Hanson, and I was just left liking it. It

1159
01:04:45,720 --> 01:04:50,640
Speaker 1: was no greatest showman, guys, no greatest showman. All right. Well,

1160
01:04:50,720 --> 01:04:54,600
Speaker 1: that's enough of Ashley's critique on Broadway. I appreciate you

1161
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:57,240
Speaker 1: guys listening to me, especially when Ben isn't around to

1165
01:05:10,040 --> 01:05:11,600
Speaker 1: I need to know what people think. We need to

1166
01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:14,360
Speaker 1: know what you think about Amanda and Robbie. We also

1167
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:18,880
Speaker 1: need to know how to spruce up a long distance relationship,

1168
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:20,760
Speaker 1: how to keep the spark alive when you don't get

1169
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:23,200
Speaker 1: to see each other on a daily basis. All right,
