Speaker 2: new chapter with the women of his dreams?

27
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 3: All right, guys, there it is the Senior Bachelor you've

28
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 3: been waiting for. The show is called The Golden Bachelor,

29
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 3: and it will be airing this fall on Mondays ten

30
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 3: pm to eleven pm. So it's only an hour show.

31
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 4: That's fine. That's fine with me. I can do an

32
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 4: hour now.

33
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 3: The thing is this, we do not have word of

34
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 3: who will be hosting it, or if it's been filmed,

35
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 3: or when it will be filmed. If it hasn't been

36
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 3: filmed yet, and it hasn't officially gotten Jesse, who we

37
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 3: would assume is just the overall bachelor host hosting it,

38
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 3: Ben is still here to shoot a shot to become

39
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 3: the host.

40
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 4: Ben, I'm a free agent.

41
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 3: Why you over Jesse? Because we love Jesse and no

42
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 3: offense to him, but you do have an older soul.

43
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean there's no offense to Jesse here. I

44
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 2: hope Jesse understands the situation I'm placed in. This is

45
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 2: just like my perfect scenario. Meaning if you had asked

46
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,839
Speaker 2: me even before I was on The Bachelor, what would

47
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: be your dream job, it would have been something similar

48
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:46,839
Speaker 2: to this. I love love, I love story, and I

49
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 2: love helping people go get through their story and the

50
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 2: lessons learned in life like one of my favorite things

51
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 2: growing up. I don't know if you've ever known this

52
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 2: about me, Ashley. When I was in college, I joined

53
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 2: a pipe smoke club. That's the good kind of pipe,

54
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 2: like with tobacco in it, like the old school.

55
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 3: You're like, not a crack pipe.

56
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, Like this is like tobacco pipe. I joined

57
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 2: it so I could sit around the table with a

58
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 2: bunch of people in their sixties and seventies and eighties

59
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 2: and hear about their life experience and learn from them.

60
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 2: I feel like I've been prepared for this my whole life.

61
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 2: I again will say I don't need to be the host.

62
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 2: I would love to be the host. I think I

63
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 2: could be the host, but I just want to be involved,

64
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 2: like let me, let me be involved in some way,

65
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 2: to be there and support And I think there's an

66
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 2: element where Jesse's an incredible host, but some fresh. You know,

67
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 2: some fresh people on a new show could be good

68
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 2: for Bachelor Nation.

69
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 4: I think that would be good.

70
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 2: And somebody that you know, Jesse was the Bachelor as well,

71
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 2: but somebody that was more recently the Bachelor and recently

72
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 2: a newlywed. I have a lot to learn from them.

73
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 2: How cool would it be to have a host who

74
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 2: is learning from the contecht as they walk through this experience.

75
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 4: I just want to be involved, Ash, I don't know.

76
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 4: I think this is I'm going to be.

77
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 2: If I'm not involved, I'm gonna be very sad because

78
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 2: I've tried really hard for this, So you're going.

79
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 3: To actually be sad.

80
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: I will be sad, no, because I feel like this

81
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 2: is something There's nothing I've ever asked for from this world. Yeah,

82
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 2: there's nothing I ever have said. Hey, you know when

83
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 2: they announced Jesse as the host for the Bachelor and Bachelorette,

84
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 2: it's not like I said at home, but like I

85
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: could have been better than him.

86
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 4: I didn't think that.

87
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 2: I didn't say that. There wasn't a thought in my mind.

88
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 2: I think he could be a great host. But when

89
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 2: it comes to this, I feel like I could do

90
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 2: a good job. I feel like I was made for it,

91
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 2: and so I want to shoot my shot. But if

92
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 2: I'm not the host, I will be sad, but I

93
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 2: will be the biggest fan of the show.

94
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be awesome.

95
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 3: So they actually said back in February that the thing

96
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 3: was going to happen. I didn't even know. I think

97
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 3: that slipped us, but it was actually my flies he

98
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,679
Speaker 3: was no longer with the show that announced on Twitter

99
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 3: that the Golden Bachelor was coming in February. Now, I

100
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 3: think the age range is somewhere from fifty five and older.

101
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 3: It definitely begs the question whether Gabby's beloved grandfather will

102
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 3: be on the show. I think it would be a

103
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 3: nice little crossover. Then what else do we need to

104
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 3: know about this? And Ben, I will say I can't

105
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 3: imagine anybody being more naturally. I when I think about

106
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 3: a host involving themselves with this cast, I just see

107
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 3: you so perfectly.

108
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 4: I hope they think the same thing.

109
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think that will.

110
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 4: And then I'm very chip.

111
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 3: You'll come, You'll do you'll do this for ditty Squad? Yeah,

112
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 3: I mean I'm not gonna say I do it for free?

113
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 4: I free?

114
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, just like you're per damn right. Okay, so then

115
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 3: we also got news today. I'm not it's not surprising whatsoever.

116
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 3: I think we would have found out if it wasn't

117
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 3: happening earlier. But that Bachelor in Paradise has been renewed

118
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 3: for season nine and it will be also airing this fall.

119
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 3: Question here is will it be Bachelor in Paradise for

120
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 3: two hours followed by an hour of The Golden Bachelor?

121
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 2: It says Tuesdays, though, so Golden Bachelor is going to

122
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 2: be Monday's ten pm to eleven pm Eastern Time, and

123
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,239
Speaker 2: then Bachelor in Paradise is Tuesdays nine pm.

124
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 3: Tom No, No, no, it won't be. I'm disappointed that

125
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 3: Paradise will be fall because I think Paradise was great

126
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 3: in August and September as it is a summer show.

127
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 2: But I will say this, I think this is a

128
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 2: great move for the franchise in general, no matter you

129
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 2: know what my involvement or lack of involvement. I have

130
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 2: yet to receive a phone call, so i'd love this.

131
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 2: Still my phone is open. I will say that I

132
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 2: would share my number, but I don't know if that's smart.

133
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 2: I think it's a great move for the franchise coming

134
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 2: up in the fall, where the Golden Bachelor I believe

135
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 2: will do fairly well. I think Paradise always does what

136
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 2: Paradise does. It does consistent numbers year over year. It

137
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 2: brings in a certain audience. And so we're gonna have

138
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 2: two back to back nights of the Bachelor franchise, which

139
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 2: to me, two different, completely different shows. I feel like

140
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 2: Bachelor Nation won't get tired of this, where maybe like

141
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 2: the Bachelor season this last year, they get a little

142
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,679
Speaker 2: tired of watching the same show for three hours, maybe

143
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 2: back to back nights, I think these are going to

144
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 2: be so different in content that Bachelor Nation.

145
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 4: Might react really well to watching both of them.

146
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they're going to get a lot of viewers,

147
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 3: maybe even new viewers to Bachelor the Bachelor franchise, because

148
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 3: out of all the streaming service dating shows that we have,

149
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 3: so many, right, so many dating reality shows, none of

150
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 3: them pertain to an older demographic. Sure, so this is

151
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 3: truly unique, and I'm glad that are our franchise is

152
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 3: part of it, and we are going to have a

153
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 3: great discussing all of it. Come come Fall. Great for our.

154
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 2: Show, Absolutely amazing for our show. Congratulations to the Bachelor

155
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 2: franchise for finally doing something.

156
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 4: I mean, the big joke every.

157
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 2: Time when I went out, when I was a bachelor,

158
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 2: when i'd meet people would be you think they're gonna

159
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 2: you think they would have me as the Bachelor. It

160
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 2: would always be somebody older telling me that, Like it's

161
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 2: always been the joke. But now it's not a joke.

162
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 2: It's actually happening. It's giving a whole new demographic and excitement,

163
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 2: something to tune into, something to maybe dream of being

164
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 2: on one day. It's giving a lot of people, probably

165
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 2: second chances, some first chances, but a ton of great

166
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 2: stories involved.

167
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,239
Speaker 4: So we're excited for this show.

168
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 2: The fall is going to be full of Bachelor content,

169
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 2: new Bachelor content that we cannot wait to break down

170
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 2: with you. But we had to get on today and

171
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 2: share this breaking news with you that, yes, finally, after

172
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 2: years of teasing and claims being made, the Golden Bachelor

173
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 2: is officially announced for the fall Mondays ten pm to

174
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 2: eleven pm Eastern Time.

175
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 4: Let's go.

176
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 3: Before we sign off, how much is it going to

177
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 3: be The Real Housewives Meets The Bachelor? Because you know

178
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 3: that people love seeing ladies in their fifties bicker.

179
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, and they're.

180
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 3: Gonna get that.

181
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 4: No, I mean, that's to be wild. It's gonna be wild.

182
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 2: But then there's also it's gonna be similar, I think

183
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 2: to the regular like Bachelor, where you're gonna have your

184
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 2: big personalities, the ones that are a little more drama filled,

185
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,599
Speaker 2: the ones that are a little more quick tempered. You know,

186
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 2: when you get older, you just typically seem to speak

187
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 2: your mind more openly.

188
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 3: Thinks you're so much more comfortable with yourself.

189
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 4: You're more comfortable with yourself.

190
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 2: But then you're also going to have the people there

191
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 2: who maybe aren't comfortable with themselves, who maybe have been

192
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 2: through some pains and some trauma and maybe you don't

193
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 2: even want to be on the sh show, but their

194
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 2: kids signed them up because they just thought, Hey, it'd

195
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 2: be great for my mom or my dad to have

196
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 2: this second chance at something. And so those people are

197
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 2: gonna be there, and they're gonna be a little more

198
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 2: like conservative and how they communicate and what they do,

199
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 2: and I think that's gonna be beautiful. As we get older,

200
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 2: our personalities seem to come out more and more because

201
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 2: of that confidence and because of life experience and so

202
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 2: We're gonna get some big personalities and some deep heartfelt stories.

203
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 4: I can't wait for it.

204
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 3: Me too. Final thought here, Okay, what do you think

205
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 3: they'll be looking for in the Golden Bachelor.

206
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 2: Well, I think, honestly, it would mirror what Sarah Trout

207
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 2: told us in an episode we have recorded with her

208
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:52,439
Speaker 2: that will be posted very soon. They're looking for somebody

209
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 2: not only that is probably physically attractive, but also has

210
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 2: an empathy, has the ability to communicate and listen, has

211
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 2: a little bit of confidence, probably has been through some

212
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 2: stuff in their life, so they have a story to tell.

213
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 2: But it's I think it's really the relatability factor when

214
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 2: it comes to the lead on this show, is when

215
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 2: we watch them, how much can we relate with them,

216
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 2: how much do we admire that they're giving this thing

217
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 2: a chance, how much do we enjoy the questions they

218
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:32,119
Speaker 2: ask and how inquisitive they are, And then how interesting

219
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 2: is their story. That's the easy part, I think, because

220
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 2: I think everybody's story is interesting. But I think I

221
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 2: think they're going to get Here's what's going to happen, Ashley.

222
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 2: Here's my thought is they're going to get for the

223
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 2: first season. It is the bachelor. So they're going to

224
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 2: have a male lead. He's going to be Kevin Costner esque,

225
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 2: where like twenty year olds are going, oh my goodness,

226
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 2: that dude's attractive, and sixty yeah, and sixty year olds

227
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 2: are going, oh my goodness, that does a t active

228
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 2: and this dude is gonna blow up because he's going

229
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 2: to have a wide range of people being like, goodness, gracious,

230
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 2: that dude's a stud.

231
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 3: They need to make this guy like a real celebrity,

232
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 3: lead him up to his role in the show, like

233
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 3: have him go to red carpet premieres, put him in

234
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 3: really sexy locations for his photo shoots and all that.

235
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 2: Give him a cowboy hat and the glass of whiskey.

236
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 2: Everybody get a rugged Yeah, let's go.

237
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 3: Then I also say there's got to be like he's

238
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 3: got to fit into one of these three storylines. Of course,

239
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 3: he's going to either be the guy who's forever single

240
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 3: and now is ready the guy who like, you know,

241
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 3: like a Leonardo DiCaprio, like you know, well he's in

242
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 3: his forties, but you know, like a guy who's like

243
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 3: fifties plus who has never been married. Maybe he was

244
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 3: a former playboy and now he wants to be settled down,

245
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 3: or then we have the divorce a or we have

246
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 3: the widow. Which category do you think is going to

247
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 3: be the most intriguing.

248
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 2: I would tend to gravitate towards somebody who has either

249
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 2: gone through a divorce or is widowed, because because I

250
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 2: just think they're they're they've felt love. And there's a

251
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 2: quote from Michael A a few years ago that said,

252
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 2: how lucky is it that I've got I get to

253
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 2: experience love twice? And I think that's kind of a

254
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 2: good theme for this show, is how lucky am I

255
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 2: that I get to experience love twice? And that that

256
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 2: to me is you know when he said that, there

257
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 2: were so many emotions that came up inside of me,

258
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 2: And I think that will be a very intriguing storyline

259
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 2: that so many would tune into and be like, I've

260
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 2: been there too, I get it, and I'm here to

261
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 2: support you.

262
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,959
Speaker 3: In the whole single forever thing, young, wild and free

263
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 3: now being settling down is more of like the Bachelor.

264
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 3: We kind of get that with a young bachelor every time,

265
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 3: so we kind of need the person who's had a

266
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 3: great love in their past.

267
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, of some kind in some way. We need somebody

268
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 2: who who knows how to love and who has found

269
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 2: love now, not saying that there won't be in when

270
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 2: this last twenty years and some seasons that will have

271
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 2: that person man or woman who has just lived wild

272
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 2: and free and now they're ready to settle down. That

273
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 2: could be interesting too, But initially I would gravitate towards

274
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 2: somebody that's felt love before. Yeah, all right, so pump,

275
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 2: let's go, Ashley, big things ahead, big.

276
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 3: Making your petition online? Should I start that for you?

277
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 3: That would be hilarious. Put that on my to do list.

278
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 2: I just want all the almost famous listeners to show support,

279
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 2: because how juicy could this podcast be if the host

280
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 2: of the show was also hosting this How much intel

281
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 2: could we get.

282
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do it. Don't laugh

283
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 3: at me, and don't get mad at me when I

284
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 3: put out the petition tonight.

285
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 4: You're the best?

286
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 3: Would you be okay with it?

287
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: Oh?

288
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I am pulling all strings here, Ashley. I have

289
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 2: made it very clear and very known. I have no

290
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 2: embarrassment towards my push to say, at least consider it.

291
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 2: At least I'm not taking anybody's job here yet. I

292
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 2: don't think like I'm not with petitioning to step on

293
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 2: anybody's toes. If Jesse wants this job again, he is
