Speaker 1: What's up, Bachelor Happy Hour listeners? You know what today is?
Speaker 1: It's Wednesday, and you know what that means. Wednesday. Wednesdays
Speaker 1: have a new meaning this go around with the Bacherette season,
Speaker 1: but like very fitting, very fitting for twenty twenty. So
Speaker 1: it's Wednesday, and that means that another Bachelorette episode aired
Speaker 1: last night, and that means we owe you a recap
Speaker 1: and something that you can't get on other podcasts, but
Speaker 1: you can't get here on Bachelor Happy Hour. Another guest,
Speaker 1: not a guest you've heard from before, A new guest,
Speaker 1: a new contestant from this Bacherette season. So you guys,
Speaker 1: don't worry, because we have both of those coming up
Speaker 1: for you very shortly. We're going to kick off this podcast,
Speaker 1: of course, with a recap of last night's episode of
Speaker 1: the Bachelorette, and then we'll have a very very special
Speaker 1: guest joining us, somebody that I think you guys are
Speaker 1: really really gonna want to hear from for multiple reasons, right,
Speaker 1: But this is a first for us, Becca because a
Speaker 1: first because we've never talked to this person before, but
Speaker 1: also first because it's the first ever Harvard graduate coming
Speaker 1: on the podcast. Yes, Rachel I'm so happy you dropped
Speaker 1: the age bomb because if there's one thing we know
Speaker 1: about Bennett, and I think it's at this point, probably
Speaker 1: the only thing we know about Bennett is it's that
Speaker 1: he went to Harvard, And so, I know, did I
Speaker 1: ever tell you that I used to date a guy
Speaker 1: from Harvard? What happened back? You know, I answer your question, no,
Speaker 1: you did it. So like I have a soft spot
Speaker 1: in my heart for Bennett because yeah, he uh years
Speaker 1: ago before I went on on Aris season. I call
Speaker 1: him what is it called, like the one that got away?
Speaker 1: Like the white Rhino. It's like the one that got away.
Speaker 1: Probably you should not even be adviting that on here,
Speaker 1: but um, yeah, well, if you're listening Harvard, you know, No,
Speaker 1: he's in a very happy relationship and I truly want
Speaker 1: the best for him. So it all worked out. But yeah,
Speaker 1: back to Bennett, my other Harvard man in the life.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm excited to have him on, not only to
Speaker 1: get his thoughts on last night's episode, but I really
Speaker 1: want to quiz him a little bit. You know, he
Speaker 1: went to Harvard. I'm hoping he's good at tests, but
Speaker 1: we will see. So we'll wait for the quiz at
Speaker 1: the end. M we know he knows a lot about finance,
Speaker 1: obviously face masks. Also, where what did he call his
Speaker 1: home Chateau Day Bennett? Is that where he's living at Laquita?
Speaker 1: I can't It's almost like it's ruined when you say
Speaker 1: Chateau Day Laquinta. It's just like Rose the whole thing.
Speaker 1: You know what I want to ask Spin it how
Speaker 1: the hell did you get on this show? Like why
Speaker 1: are you here? The number one question at the top
Speaker 1: of the episode before we always kick it off of
Speaker 1: like how are you doing? How are you hanging in?
Speaker 1: Like during quarantine? But I just think we need to know,
Speaker 1: like how the hell he got on about Shirrette. I'm
Speaker 1: very intrigued to know the why, the why behind the Bennett. Yes, um,
Speaker 1: so you know he knows a lot about out some things,
Speaker 1: but we do have to give him a lesson to
Speaker 1: see how well he knows her bad short Claire Crawley.
Speaker 1: So we have that coming up. But before all that,
Speaker 1: we have to dig into last night's episode. And you know,
Speaker 1: at this point original I just have to start this
Speaker 1: recap with is it Claire season or is it Dale's season? Well,
Speaker 1: I mean it's both of their seasons, you know. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's it's the Clarien Dale Show. And I can't even
Speaker 1: imagine what it was like to be there and live
Speaker 1: it because we're watching it, and I know we're watching
Speaker 1: it in a way that the men who were living
Speaker 1: there didn't get to see it, but it's so painfully obvious.
Speaker 1: So yeah, we're watching the Clarendal Show. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, aside from Dale. We start the episode with
Speaker 1: Clarien Joseph. Obviously, last week before this episode aired, we
Speaker 1: saw Yoseph bashing on the Dodgeball date and the stripping
Speaker 1: of it, and you know, in our minds were like,
Speaker 1: why does he care he's not on this date? Like
Speaker 1: the men could have said no if they didn't want
Speaker 1: to do this. Whatever, What were your thoughts on the
Speaker 1: I just want to ask your thoughts on the way
Speaker 1: you thought Joseph handled the interaction. If you guys could
Speaker 1: see my face, let me let me just think for
Speaker 1: a second, because the only notes I took we're during
Speaker 1: the top of this episode with Joseph. Okay, Joseph is
Speaker 1: his entire speech. I just people, A lot of my
Speaker 1: friends like to say that I'm the type of person
Speaker 1: where when something's going down, whether it be myself or
Speaker 1: my friends, I'm that person who's like, I'm sorry, excuse me,
Speaker 1: do we have a problem? Like when most people run
Speaker 1: away from confrontation. I love it, Okay. I love to
Speaker 1: like approach the situation head on. I would love to
Speaker 1: have been clear in this moment. Oh love to have
Speaker 1: But but you know what, but Claire didn't need me
Speaker 1: because Claire definitely handled it on her own. I love
Speaker 1: that about her. But anyways, Okay, Joseph when he said
Speaker 1: I know that, you know we're supposed to be here
Speaker 1: for you, and you said that, but you're here for us,
Speaker 1: I know everything I need to know about Joseph in
Speaker 1: that statement. What a self centered, selfish asshole he is.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's controlling, he's dominating, he's manipulative. It is.
Speaker 1: He is truly a scary man. Like there were so
Speaker 1: many red flags. It's problematic. Like was it good TV? Yes?
Speaker 1: Have we been building up to this for two episodes
Speaker 1: to finally get to this moment? Yes, But in my
Speaker 1: mind I kept thinking how problematic his behavior is, and
Speaker 1: it's actually quite scary more than it is entertaining. Claire
Speaker 1: was trying to relate to him, and he was talking
Speaker 1: about how he feels, and he was saying his daughter
Speaker 1: and how he sacrifices time, and she was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know. She said my mother is dying, and he
Speaker 1: shushed her. Ladies, this is like, this is a prototype
Speaker 1: of what you need to run away from there. So
Speaker 1: you could literally take yusef Joseph. I'm not I don't
Speaker 1: even give a fuck about pronouncing his say. You could
Speaker 1: literally take him as a prototype of what not to
Speaker 1: look for in a man. He shushed her. He didn't say,
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry about that, you know, like, and I
Speaker 1: definitely want to keep talking to you about that, but
Speaker 1: you know, I just want to I want to continue
Speaker 1: because I don't want to lose my thought. But I
Speaker 1: obviously want to talk to you about your mother because
Speaker 1: I can only imagine how hard that is. Didn't say
Speaker 1: that shushed her so he could speak because he said,
Speaker 1: I'm talking. Blair held her composure, totally shocked by that.
Speaker 1: Didn't respond to her mom not go ahead, Oh god,
Speaker 1: oh no, I was gonna say everything you're saying that.
Speaker 1: Like the one note I took was when she made
Speaker 1: that comment about her mom and he goes, I'm speaking
Speaker 1: right now, and I was like, you do realize you're
Speaker 1: on the show called the bauch Shorrette, and she is
Speaker 1: the bouch Schhorrette and you truly are here for her.
Speaker 1: And when a woman is talking about anyone who's or
Speaker 1: ill or sick or trying to relate to you, do
Speaker 1: not shush them. Oh, it was so bad. This man
Speaker 1: doesn't know how to relate to people. He doesn't know
Speaker 1: how to empathize. I don't want to touch on the
Speaker 1: relationship he has with his daughter, but my gosh, like
Speaker 1: he has such problematic behavior. I swear, if you live
Speaker 1: in Joseph's town, State Towny, you need to be putting
Speaker 1: up pictures of him everywhere that says beware of the dog,
Speaker 1: dangerous dog in town. This man is dangerous. And what
Speaker 1: really got me is not just how he was talking
Speaker 1: to her to her face when she got up and
Speaker 1: she told him to get out, and you could tell
Speaker 1: she was just she was grimacing. She was she was
Speaker 1: trying to be classy about the situation, but she was seething.
Speaker 1: He still continued to talk to her while she was
Speaker 1: walking away, he was following her. This was truly alarming
Speaker 1: to me, so alarming. I mean, it's I've never seen
Speaker 1: anything like it on the show. We thought Luke Pe
Speaker 1: was bad. Oh god well, And the part that I
Speaker 1: can't fathom is like he was getting that angry on
Speaker 1: something he was not even part of, Like he wasn't
Speaker 1: even on that date. He did not witness it. He
Speaker 1: did not see the interactions between Clear and the men.
Speaker 1: So for him to get that mad over something he
Speaker 1: wasn't even involved in that wasn't affecting him baffles me
Speaker 1: because then I think, what if he was part of
Speaker 1: something like that, Like how angry would he actually be
Speaker 1: if he took part in it? Like, it's just it's
Speaker 1: very scary, very scary behavior. Thank god she sent his
Speaker 1: ass packing, like, and I'm glad that the guys all
Speaker 1: her to go down to where they could have her back.
Speaker 1: And of course Dale as the night in shining armor
Speaker 1: for her. What you know, my notes say, where the
Speaker 1: fuck did Dell come from? I literally wrote that in
Speaker 1: my notes out of nowhere. I put my head down
Speaker 1: for something and I look up and then there's Dell
Speaker 1: And I was like, okay, you know there were I
Speaker 1: didn't like it. I gotta be honest, obviously they sent
Speaker 1: and Dell. She was really distraught. She was upset rightfully,
Speaker 1: so he said some really terrible things to her, and
Speaker 1: they wanted her to feel good about herself, and they
Speaker 1: wanted her to feel comforted. And they know they knew
Speaker 1: how she felt about Dell. I get it, but just
Speaker 1: being there, like when I'm thinking that, when I'm thinking
Speaker 1: about this from them other men and their perspective, they
Speaker 1: were there to comfort her. You know, they saw it.
Speaker 1: They took up for her. One guy was like, man
Speaker 1: like I'm about to Like he looked like he was
Speaker 1: gonna fight Joseph. I really wish they would have let
Speaker 1: that happen like that's like somebody like Joseph meets their
Speaker 1: ass beach just like one good time. So you know,
Speaker 1: you don't need to continue talking about that. Let me
Speaker 1: just put you in your place one good time. But no,
Speaker 1: I thought that there were so many men there that
Speaker 1: also wanted to do that for her, and I think
Speaker 1: it would have been just as great for her to
Speaker 1: feel that it's not just one man that wants to
Speaker 1: be here for you. There's several men that want to
Speaker 1: have your back and let you know your worth. Yeah,
Speaker 1: missed opportunity, and it's like it was the beginning of
Speaker 1: me just feeling really bad for the rest of the
Speaker 1: men this entire episode, to be honest, and I wonder,
Speaker 1: and I even was thinking when I was watching Dale
Speaker 1: walk in, I was like, I wonder if they would
Speaker 1: have sent another man in, would she have formed a
Speaker 1: somewhat strong connection with this other man? Like it just
Speaker 1: but yeah, like I said, the beginning, the beginning of
Speaker 1: the Dale show took place that in there. So basically
Speaker 1: what we see come next is Dianna comes in the
Speaker 1: next day, has a girl chat with Claire. Dianna who
Speaker 1: what she did? She say, bachelor atte twelve years ago,
Speaker 1: thirteen years ago. I didn't get the number, but it's
Speaker 1: it's definitely more than you know, yeah, ten years. But
Speaker 1: I think it was good. I think she needed some
Speaker 1: girl time to just clear her head after all of
Speaker 1: the Joseph drama from the night before. But of course
Speaker 1: Gosh is about about Dale and makes a comment when
Speaker 1: you know, you know, and Dianna bach rip because I
Speaker 1: think when Dianna met her husband she said the same thing.
Speaker 1: So I mean, the show it isn't even trying to
Speaker 1: cover up like how how can you there's no I
Speaker 1: just at this point, I'm just watching it all this
Speaker 1: go down, and I'm like, oh man, the woman has
Speaker 1: his pants. Okay, it's like another lost opportunity. How declare
Speaker 1: get his pants? Did she get them? Did he take
Speaker 1: them off in front of her? To her he was
Speaker 1: he wasn't on the dodgeball day? Oh how declare get
Speaker 1: the pants? But they had a bow on them too,
Speaker 1: That's what gobby is. They still had a bow. And
Speaker 1: these Peo women are smelling his pants because he's probably
Speaker 1: sprayed them with cologne. I think I've told you this before,
Speaker 1: that there Brian gave me when we went to the
Speaker 1: Ellen Show. He gave me his Ellen underwear and sprayed
Speaker 1: the one says cologne and wrapped him up as a
Speaker 1: present day. It was a deleted scene. They didn't show it,
Speaker 1: thank god, because people really would have been talking about Brian.
Speaker 1: I still have those Ellen underwear. I loved it, and
Speaker 1: I would keep them with me when we travel because
Speaker 1: I could smell Brian. So I get it, Claire, but
Speaker 1: I'm more mad than we don't have the story behind
Speaker 1: the pants. Did he spend the night with you? Did
Speaker 1: he strip down in front of you, Claire, we need
Speaker 1: to know the answers. What I thought was funny in
Speaker 1: this moment though, too, was that she's talking about Dell
Speaker 1: and the men are waiting for her to go on
Speaker 1: a group date, and they're all talking about like, you know,
Speaker 1: she knows what she wants, like she knows what she wants,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, you, guys, Claire wants you to go home,
Speaker 1: Like that's really what she wants. And it's sad to
Speaker 1: see the juxtaposition of them hopeful about what could possibly
Speaker 1: be and that she got rid of a Joseph so
Speaker 1: it's like now she can concentrate on the men that
Speaker 1: are here, and it's like, no, she's just concentrating on
Speaker 1: the man, the one person. Yeah, it was so funny
Speaker 1: to me, and it's so sad because going into this
Speaker 1: group date, I mean, obviously the date DA didn't happen
Speaker 1: because she's with Diana talking about daily entire time. Let
Speaker 1: me just for anyone listening, like the show, especially when
Speaker 1: you're a contestant, is so much stop and go. There
Speaker 1: is so much waiting around to begin with, like you
Speaker 1: were constantly just waiting. There's already enough waiting and the
Speaker 1: fact that they had to wait. I think they mentioned
Speaker 1: like three or four extra hours thinking that they were
Speaker 1: going to go on this state and just sitting there,
Speaker 1: I would have, honestly, I would have done one or
Speaker 1: two things. I would have lost my mind and probably
Speaker 1: like gone berserko, or I would have just fallen asleep
Speaker 1: and we're like, well, wake me up whenever in seventeen
Speaker 1: hours when the state is actually happening, it's so sad, Yeah,
Speaker 1: to make them wait, And you know, I feel like
Speaker 1: I'm at this point where like I'm trying to see
Speaker 1: both sides, Like kudos to Claire for knowing what she
Speaker 1: wants and you know, like trying to figure out what's
Speaker 1: best for her heart, but also too, there's still are
Speaker 1: twenty plus men who are waiting to get to know
Speaker 1: you and waiting for conversations and to have this time,
Speaker 1: and I'm just feeling so bad for them. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: must have sucked to been on this, like to been
Speaker 1: a dude unless you were Dale. Right, for you, Dale,
Speaker 1: it was fantastic, you know, like you and Claire it
Speaker 1: was often it was great. But if you were the
Speaker 1: other man, it must have sucked. You knew you weren't
Speaker 1: one and you didn't get to travel. You know, you're
Speaker 1: getting COVID tested every few days. You don't even get
Speaker 1: to live in the mansion. You don't get to run
Speaker 1: around and do things like you normally would. It's almost
Speaker 1: like you were trapped. Like the Bachelor bubble is something
Speaker 1: we used to talk about as like a metaphor, but
Speaker 1: now it's an actual thing. That's all I kept thinking, geez,
Speaker 1: it really must suck to be on this season. I
Speaker 1: hope all these men, you know, whoever Claire doesn't choose,
Speaker 1: I hope you go to Paradise so you can get
Speaker 1: some type of experience as to what this show is about,
Speaker 1: or just reapply, or just like some sort of conversation
Speaker 1: with a person of the opposite sex, because I feel
Speaker 1: like these men at this point aren't really getting it
Speaker 1: with Claire. And it's so sad because they wait, wait,
Speaker 1: wait all day, and then what happened at night? They
Speaker 1: go to this cocktail party and who does she spend
Speaker 1: the entire night with Dale? Like yes, it's a fact.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. I was cringing when Easy walks to
Speaker 1: her room and Dale was already in there and he
Speaker 1: just just tried to have a conversation and she had like,
Speaker 1: oh at that point, I'm like, it's done, it's over now,
Speaker 1: this is what I want to talk about. Honestly, you guys,
Speaker 1: this was the most entertaining part to me more than Joseph.
Speaker 1: And you know why because we had seen it tease
Speaker 1: for weeks and weeks and weeks. Okay, he's an asshole, Great,
Speaker 1: we got him out of here. This part with Dell,
Speaker 1: not the time he spent with her, the bs that
Speaker 1: he spit out to the guys, and then that Claire
Speaker 1: didn't get to see. This to me was the most
Speaker 1: entertaining thing because it's something we haven't we don't really
Speaker 1: know about, right, Like we haven't. This isn't a rumor
Speaker 1: that's been out there. This isn't hasn't really been teased
Speaker 1: that much. So Claire, I'm Claire. That's what I was
Speaker 1: about to call you. Becca. What were your thoughts with
Speaker 1: the way Dale handled this entire group day start to finish?
Speaker 1: So I'm not gonna lie. He really started to rub
Speaker 1: me the wrong way. And I want to say this,
Speaker 1: I think the way that he handled himself with the
Speaker 1: men when they confronted him after the time, when he's
Speaker 1: like oh, I went to the bathroom and then I
Speaker 1: didn't know where she was, and like the BSD spending
Speaker 1: it felt very very juvenile and immature to me, Like
Speaker 1: and that's why I think it was easy or Riley
Speaker 1: that called him out and they're like, dude, if you
Speaker 1: just want to spend time with her, just say that
Speaker 1: we get why you're here, Like, don't beat around the
Speaker 1: bush and dance around the fact that like you into
Speaker 1: the bathroom when you didn't know, but like you just
Speaker 1: spent forty five minutes with her. I just it felt
Speaker 1: very immature to me, which I wasn't expecting from him,
Speaker 1: to be honest, because I feel like he's been so
Speaker 1: hyped up this entire time. If you were Claire and
Speaker 1: you've seen this episode, because at this point you have right,
Speaker 1: Claire didn't get to see this in person. If you're Claire,
Speaker 1: if you let's do hypothetically speaking, you chose del and
Speaker 1: you saw this same, would you be concerned after this? Yes?
Speaker 1: I would I And if I was in that position,
Speaker 1: I would hope that she's had these conversations with him.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think I think the part that would
Speaker 1: rub me the wrong way because I'm all about friendships
Speaker 1: and maintaining a certain level of respect and honesty, and
Speaker 1: to see how he was with the other men would
Speaker 1: completely rub me the wrong way, and I would have
Speaker 1: questions because it's like, I want somebody who respects the
Speaker 1: people he's around, who gets along with them, who can
Speaker 1: maintain friendships, and it just it felt so off, like
Speaker 1: it felt like he was trying to please Claire and
Speaker 1: the guys, and it just like I understand he was
Speaker 1: put in an awkward position, and it wasn't he was
Speaker 1: not he put himself in that position. What awkward position
Speaker 1: was he put in? Unless they unless he really did
Speaker 1: think he was going to the bathroom and then walked in.
Speaker 1: But let's be honest. He walked in and was like,
Speaker 1: can I talk to her? So obviously you were seeking
Speaker 1: her out. Here's the thing, Dell, I you know, I
Speaker 1: gotta call bullshit when I see it, And that's exactly
Speaker 1: what that was. And it wouldn't have been bad if
Speaker 1: you hadn't given that speech at the beginning, which also
Speaker 1: was so unnecessary. Just pull her first, like you said back,
Speaker 1: and he was trying to be down with the guys,
Speaker 1: but then also try to spend his time with Claire.
Speaker 1: You all know what this game is at this point,
Speaker 1: You're you're all trying to establish a relationship and end
Speaker 1: up with Claire at the end of this just pull
Speaker 1: her to the side. All that fluff in that talk
Speaker 1: which I was with Riley on this one, the speech
Speaker 1: the group pub that cheesy, I get that cheesy stuff
Speaker 1: out of here, Like that's so freaking corny to me.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I gotta call it like, I gotta call
Speaker 1: it dell out on this one. I was so Riley
Speaker 1: like that was so corny. And then you spend your time.
Speaker 1: Who cares if you spent if you spend forty five
Speaker 1: minutes with her, but with them deal, I'm not mad
Speaker 1: to Delle spent forty five minutes. It's the the speech
Speaker 1: that he gave it to the beginning and then coming
Speaker 1: back and then trying to say he was dazed and
Speaker 1: confused as he was like discombobulated. Oh I was. I
Speaker 1: didn't know what was going on, And I just walked
Speaker 1: in the room and then asked, interrupted somebody's day. Who
Speaker 1: was that guy? By the way, don't know who he
Speaker 1: was my first time ever setting him on the season,
Speaker 1: But the fact that he allowed dell to interrupt him
Speaker 1: and just was like yeah, man, and then came back
Speaker 1: and whined about it in the group. Now that that
Speaker 1: dude has to go home, like, that's I don't even know.
Speaker 1: I don't people know his name, so I didn't even
Speaker 1: help you out of that dude. That dude, that's what
Speaker 1: we'll call him. Okay. Now that I'm finally getting settled
Speaker 1: in La, I'm loving where I live. Unfortunately, not all
Speaker 1: of the gyms are open, but I have been able
Speaker 1: to squeeze in some outdoor fitness classes. Now. The unfortunate
Speaker 1: part is that they're not every day, so on the
Speaker 1: days that I can't go to the class, I still
Speaker 1: have to hold myself accountable. I have to track my exercise,
Speaker 1: eat healthy, and stay active. Now since I don't have
Speaker 1: quite a regular workout, it's good UNUM has been the
Speaker 1: best assistant for me to help me track my exercise

Speaker 1: Bennett and Blake. Like there's only a handful that I
Speaker 1: know at this point, because I feel like it's, like
Speaker 1: I said, it's turned into the Dale Show, Like that's
Speaker 1: all we hear about. All right, one last thing I
Speaker 1: want to say about Dale and this whole cocktail party
Speaker 1: that went down. We see him go back and basically
Speaker 1: have this conversation with all the dudes and he says
Speaker 1: that he's the best man suited. Now, I was watching
Speaker 1: this back just kind of confused, like, obviously it's no surprise.
Speaker 1: I think he knew he's a front runner. I think
Speaker 1: to any of the guys watching his interactions with Claire,
Speaker 1: they know he's a front runner. But that the wording
Speaker 1: he chose, I just again, it rubbed me the wrong way,
Speaker 1: Like I didn't know why he chose to say that,
Speaker 1: unless it's like something that he heard in an interview.
Speaker 1: What were your thoughts on that conversation that comment. I
Speaker 1: guess it's confusing because Dell has given a lot of
Speaker 1: toasts and he's addressed the group, so we've seen him
Speaker 1: speak and he is very careful with his words and
Speaker 1: he doesn't really stammer over what it is that he's saying.
Speaker 1: So it's odd that when he gets called out you
Speaker 1: see him kind of fumbling with his words, which makes
Speaker 1: me feel like he's bssing. To be honest with you,
Speaker 1: the fact that he and when he said he flat
Speaker 1: out before Jason, who side note loving this episode. Before
Speaker 1: Jason called him out and was like wait, wait, now,
Speaker 1: go ahead, finish your sentence, he was flat out saying
Speaker 1: I'm the best man. He wasn't. It was when Jason
Speaker 1: called him out and then he couldn't find gather his
Speaker 1: words together, so he meant what he said. He felt
Speaker 1: he was the best man suited. I mean it, Dell's
Speaker 1: fell in himself. And to be honest, why is why
Speaker 1: wouldn't he was all the time and attention that Claire's
Speaker 1: giving him, he knows he has us in the bag. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I will say this, he is now starting to
Speaker 1: walk the fine line between you know, going all in
Speaker 1: in his relationship with Claire and knowing that he is
Speaker 1: a front runner and then really aggravating the guys on
Speaker 1: the other side. So it's just like this weird awkward tension, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think he's trying to play the game that he
Speaker 1: is concerned about the men, but by his actions he's not.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's there for Claire, he's there to you know,
Speaker 1: navigate that relationship, but then trying to play the other side,
Speaker 1: and the reason it's not working is because you really
Speaker 1: don't care about the other side. I guess we'll just
Speaker 1: have to see how it plays out. But onto the
Speaker 1: next date, we see the one on one SPA date
Speaker 1: with Zach Jay. Overall, the entire day clearly was awkward.
Speaker 1: He was very much into Claire feeling her. She obviously
Speaker 1: was not because she's sitting in her interview chair talking
Speaker 1: about Dale, which I think just basically plays into the
Speaker 1: whole kiss communication where, you know, cringeworthy watching it back,
Speaker 1: But truly I think like it looks like she went
Speaker 1: in id he went in ten, and I think she
Speaker 1: just realized, like this isn't Dale, Like I can't get
Speaker 1: there with somebody else's it's not Dale. She can't like
Speaker 1: pretend that she wants to kiss anyone else. Yeah, I yeah,
Speaker 1: it was. You're definitely right. It was an awkward day.
Speaker 1: And all I'll say about this day. The one thing
Speaker 1: that I loved is that I saw something I've personally
Speaker 1: never seen before. It's probably happened with as many seasons
Speaker 1: as there have been, but I've never seen Chris Harrison
Speaker 1: come in and send somebody home on a one on
Speaker 1: one day. And let me tell you, I'm here to
Speaker 1: say I loved it, every bit of it. They are
Speaker 1: working Chris Harrison this season in a way that he
Speaker 1: has not worked in a while. Normally people are complaining
Speaker 1: and they're like, how many times will Chris Harrison pop
Speaker 1: up this episode? Well, Claire's like, you know what, He's
Speaker 1: going to be a part of every single episode, every day.
Speaker 1: And I'm loving it because he's right there. He's on
Speaker 1: the premise. He's probably like a villa way. They just
Speaker 1: need him to walk over. I was like, let me
Speaker 1: get off this float and come on over here. And
Speaker 1: I will say this, so like going into the night portion,
Speaker 1: you see Zach sitting at the dinner table. Obviously there's
Speaker 1: an empty chair next to him, which you usually never see.
Speaker 1: You usually see the couple walking up together sitting down
Speaker 1: like toasted or whatever. So to see Zach sitting there
Speaker 1: for a few seconds, I literally said, what if Chris
Speaker 1: Harrison walked in right now and sat down and then
Speaker 1: Chris Harrison walks and I was losing my mind. I
Speaker 1: would love it. It was so funny, like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: and yeah, like you said, I've never seen that before.
Speaker 1: And I found it very interesting because usually I think
Speaker 1: like Claire doesn't hold back. I don't think she's afraid
Speaker 1: of confrontation. She's not afraid to say what she has
Speaker 1: sued to these men, and so it was very interesting
Speaker 1: to see her being like on number one deal fit,
Speaker 1: like just sending Chris like he's gotten on it. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go to so refreshing every every every time there
Speaker 1: has been conflicts on this season so far, the way
Speaker 1: she handles it, there's no flip flopping, there's no confusion,
Speaker 1: everything is matter of fact. This is how it should be.
Speaker 1: I love it every single time. I don't even get
Speaker 1: worried as to how Claire is going to handle it.
Speaker 1: I'm always like she's gotten this. I know she's got this. Situation.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that was that was an interesting twist. Every
Speaker 1: everything with this season has been has had an interesting twist.
Speaker 1: With that one, I wasn't ready for you called it.
Speaker 1: Kudos to you, Becca for calling it. So let me
Speaker 1: get to the group date, which I'll be honest, I'm
Speaker 1: jealous that I did not have a roast date on
Speaker 1: my season. So this one we saw. It was with
Speaker 1: Margart Trow, which was pretty cool that they were able
Speaker 1: to bring somebody into the bubble to experience, you know,
Speaker 1: the show, because usually there is a celebrity on the show,
Speaker 1: and so I'm glad that Claire was able to have
Speaker 1: that experience with Margaret. I thought the rose fl a
Speaker 1: fantastic idea. I'm telling y'all lived for this moment and
Speaker 1: the fact that they brought in the other men from
Speaker 1: the house. Yes, he genius, Janius genius. Loved every bit
Speaker 1: of it. Love that at the end of it all
Speaker 1: that Claire gave herself the rose. I mean, I just
Speaker 1: I thought it was funny. It sucked for the men,
Speaker 1: and I think that's a theme here. That's the through
Speaker 1: line through this recap. It sucked for the men unless
Speaker 1: your name is Dell. But I feel like there's so
Speaker 1: much to get into with the Ross that. Since we've
Speaker 1: already said we're having been It from Harvard on and
Speaker 1: he clearly was a scene stiller and dropped the mic
Speaker 1: at the end of it, we're gonna let him pick
Speaker 1: the mic back up and tell us all about the
Speaker 1: rose and everything that went into that. Yes, and without
Speaker 1: further ado, let's go ahead and bring on the man
Speaker 1: himself Been It from Harvard. Please welcome this Rosmaster, you
Speaker 1: guys to the show. I want to welcome you to
Speaker 1: our podcast. Thank you for being with us today. Before
Speaker 1: we get started, though, I have to ask, your face
Speaker 1: is glowing, so did you do a face mask for this?
Speaker 1: You know, I've got a kind of a bad ZiT
Speaker 1: to be honest, I'm like a little self conscious about it.
Speaker 1: And my skinner routine has not It's been slepting a bit,
Speaker 1: you know, since being out in the desert. But I
Speaker 1: have plenty packed here thanks to me. I'm always, you know,
Speaker 1: pretty prepared, and I'm heading from Charlotte here where I'm
Speaker 1: seeing kind of my godson and best friends, and going
Speaker 1: down to Atlanta from here to see my family and
Speaker 1: for the first time, you know, since COVID and everything. So, um,
Speaker 1: you know, I'll have some rest of relaxation and can
Speaker 1: get back into the skincare routine. For sure. We're expected
Speaker 1: auto updates. Okay, we'll do, we'll do. You're from the
Speaker 1: South minute, I am? I am. I'm from Atlanta. I
Speaker 1: was actually born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and then have lived
Speaker 1: in Atlanta more or less my entire life before you know,
Speaker 1: becoming a Yankee and moving up to the North and
Speaker 1: then in you know, Boston and New York. Now, um,
Speaker 1: since college, so it's kind of an even split. Eighteen
Speaker 1: years up in the North, eighteen years in the South. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: you can't just say college. We already know you have
Speaker 1: to go a stage bomb, you know. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: all of those things that I actually didn't say it
Speaker 1: that often on the show. Was kind of you know,
Speaker 1: pulled out a bit um as you might imagine. But um, yes,
Speaker 1: I went. I went to Harvard and it was a
Speaker 1: fantastic experience. I wouldn't, you know, trade it for the
Speaker 1: life of me, but it is just a school. It
Speaker 1: was a great experience and it served me well. I
Speaker 1: think the friendships, the relationships and kind of that alumni
Speaker 1: network is really you know, on precedent, I think a
Speaker 1: lot of people from other, you know, very elite schools
Speaker 1: would probably poo poo on Harvard a little bit, um,
Speaker 1: you know, in some respect. But it served me well
Speaker 1: and I really enjoyed my time. What's up, Rachel, I said,
Speaker 1: only in sports, and only they only WoT it's when
Speaker 1: it comes. That's fair, That's totally fair. How does somebody
Speaker 1: like you end up on the show? And why? Great question?
Speaker 1: You know, um throughout um, you know, well, I don't know,
Speaker 1: call up my more adult h you know, dating years,
Speaker 1: I've had nudges from family and friends and uh, even
Speaker 1: X is on the way out the door that you
Speaker 1: should just go on the bachirette or you should check
Speaker 1: that out. You never know, Um, you know, give it,
Speaker 1: give it a shot. Why not? I think it would
Speaker 1: be great for it. And I never really took it
Speaker 1: seriously until I was kind of quarantine alone in New
Speaker 1: York City in the you know, epicenter of the pandemic
Speaker 1: and um, by myself for that entire time, and I
Speaker 1: kind of got to thinking about it, and as you
Speaker 1: might imagine, and you know, dating life got a little
Speaker 1: bit you know, stagnant and this sort of day to
Speaker 1: day just office you know, work at home and you know,
Speaker 1: working out at home and ordering your groceries and you know,
Speaker 1: working on every recipe you could imagine, doing every at
Speaker 1: home project you could imagine. Got a little old and
Speaker 1: sort of got me to thinking this might be the
Speaker 1: time to do something like this, And so I gave
Speaker 1: it a shot, and you know, rapidly you know, progressed
Speaker 1: through the little process there, and was you know, super
Speaker 1: excited to have an opportunity like this. It was was fantastic.
Speaker 1: So you decided to go from living alone totally secluded
Speaker 1: to living with thirty plus dudes in a one little
Speaker 1: very resort. Just thinking about it, Yeah, well you had
Speaker 1: a chateau. Yeah, you lived a little different. I was
Speaker 1: really blessed with the chateau. And you know, I hope
Speaker 1: that the chateau gets a little you know play and
Speaker 1: airtime and that that makes it out onto the show.
Speaker 1: But um, I was really fortunate to have such a
Speaker 1: nice set up there. Not complaining. It was you know,
Speaker 1: a nice little uh change of speed, I guess from
Speaker 1: the Manhattan apartment. You know, it's probably much more spacious
Speaker 1: for you there. A little bit, a little bit. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't have a backyard and pulled a hot tub
Speaker 1: in Manhattan, that's for sure. But it's gonna buy real
Speaker 1: estate back at La Keinton now just because he misses it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: no kidding, no kidding. Before we get into the episode,
Speaker 1: over all your time on the show, what was your experience, like,
Speaker 1: how did you feel about doing it all? Give us
Speaker 1: a little bit about that. Sure, sincerely, I had the
Speaker 1: absolute best time of my life doing And it's one
Speaker 1: of those things you know, like Harvard Schmarvard Bachelorettes where
Speaker 1: it's at. I had such a good time and it
Speaker 1: was one of those things that I was, you know,
Speaker 1: quite skeptical, you know, going in in terms of, you know,
Speaker 1: are you really going to have a shot at a
Speaker 1: genuinely making a connection and relationship and getting to the
Speaker 1: point of finding someone that you can fall in love
Speaker 1: with and um you know, find uh someone to marry,
Speaker 1: right and and as you would imagine everyone sort of
Speaker 1: questions that was obviously you guys know it. Well, it's
Speaker 1: under this you know, hyper focused environment where you're put
Speaker 1: into these situations that really drives those connections and the relationships.
Speaker 1: Um in such an unbelievable way that it works. And so,
Speaker 1: you know, I had a phenomenal time. I wouldn't trade it,
Speaker 1: you know, for the world of me. And you know,
Speaker 1: I guess, you know, stay tuned to see how things
Speaker 1: pan out. But I heard you were one of the
Speaker 1: coolest guys in the house. Wow, that is quite a compliment.
Speaker 1: I did, like not not can't say who I heard from,
Speaker 1: but I heard that because obviously people have a lot
Speaker 1: of questions about you, because you know, we we saw
Speaker 1: the chateau, We saw you putting on the face mask.
Speaker 1: You know, you have the scarf. Was it a Rolls
Speaker 1: Rolls Royce you came in or was it a band? Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: let me let me get it right. So the whole,
Speaker 1: the whole like persona that you came in with. I
Speaker 1: think people were really maybe had a preconceived had preconceived
Speaker 1: notions about who you are. But I heard that you
Speaker 1: were really just like down with the boys, And I
Speaker 1: think that what was so great to see was in
Speaker 1: last night's episode, we really kind of saw you come
Speaker 1: out of your shells. Like the scarf was off, not
Speaker 1: the gloves were off, the scarf was off, the loafers
Speaker 1: were off and you were ready. You were ready to go.
Speaker 1: And so I guess the question we have is why
Speaker 1: you chose to go after del so hard and the
Speaker 1: way that you did, And then why was that moment
Speaker 1: you chose? Why was that the moment you chose to
Speaker 1: do it? Sure, I mean it was really the time.
Speaker 1: It was kind of it was like an avalue. You know,
Speaker 1: I played basketball, I played football growing up. I'm really
Speaker 1: you know, from a down to earth, you know, modest
Speaker 1: background and family always played sports, was super competitive. I've
Speaker 1: got an older brother, a younger brother, Um, you know,
Speaker 1: and I think in any competition, whether you're doing in
Speaker 1: an election, whether it's sports, whether it's just you know business, right, Um,
Speaker 1: you kind of go after the tuck dog, right, and
Speaker 1: you can't be afraid of that. That that's that's the
Speaker 1: man to beat. And I think it was kind of
Speaker 1: clear at that point with you know, Dale, that there
Speaker 1: was a lot of favoritism. You could tell that his
Speaker 1: relationship was moving along with cla Claire quite rapidly. And
Speaker 1: you know, I certainly am not one to shy away
Speaker 1: from competition, never scared of anything. I always believe in
Speaker 1: myself and you know, my ability to succeed, so you know,
Speaker 1: why not go after Dale a little bit more, you
Speaker 1: know than the others? And I think, um, it was
Speaker 1: really an opportunity as well where I had a chance
Speaker 1: to speak up and say some of the things, whether
Speaker 1: there were jokes and jabs and whether they were true. Um,
Speaker 1: to go after and j Dale and speak on behalf
Speaker 1: of the guys, not speaking for them, of course, but
Speaker 1: maybe say some of that thinks of because I was
Speaker 1: in that position at the Rose to do that and
Speaker 1: say some of the things that they would have liked
Speaker 1: to have out there. I will see this watching all
Speaker 1: of you guys at the Roast come at Dale. It
Speaker 1: never felt like it crossed the line where it was
Speaker 1: inappropriate and like hitting below the belt. It still felt
Speaker 1: very like you know, of course you guys had your
Speaker 1: jobs in there every now and again, but it never
Speaker 1: felt inappropriate. But one of the guys, and I don't
Speaker 1: remember who said it, but one of the guys said,
Speaker 1: you know, like basically Dale never shuts up and he
Speaker 1: never stops talking. Was that the case? Was that true?
Speaker 1: Because I feel like there's part like we see such
Speaker 1: a majority of Dale with Claire, like we see small
Speaker 1: bits of interaction with you guys, but it's also like
Speaker 1: not extreme in the sense like well him my comments
Speaker 1: like yeah, the best man suited or whatever, but it
Speaker 1: never is very abundant. So I'm sitting there wondering, like,
Speaker 1: is he very very different in the house with the
Speaker 1: men versus when he is with Claire. You know, I
Speaker 1: think to twofold, I will say, you know, I was
Speaker 1: personally very very impressed with Dale night one, and I
Speaker 1: unfortunately did not get the chance to speak with Claire,
Speaker 1: you know, at the cocktail ceremony when the drama sort
Speaker 1: of hit and I was this close and then it
Speaker 1: didn't happen. Um, But you know, I was being kind
Speaker 1: of quiet, taking things in, um, you know, just sort
Speaker 1: of absorbing, absorbing, excuse me, um, you know, maybe maybe
Speaker 1: a little bit of Jay Gatsby and there sneaking through
Speaker 1: the party, not really talking to anyone, just kind of
Speaker 1: taking the scene and not you know, having a care
Speaker 1: in the world, but at the same time, just really
Speaker 1: trying to get comfortable with what was going on around me.
Speaker 1: And I remember speaking with Dale and I was blown
Speaker 1: away by the guy that this guy is a stud.
Speaker 1: He is beautiful. Have you seen those eyes? He was
Speaker 1: an X and M. He's super articulate. He has a
Speaker 1: soft spoken voice. But it's not to love about this guy, um,
Speaker 1: you know. And it also struck me as we're kind
Speaker 1: of get going and just kind of learning the process
Speaker 1: and you know, the how things kind of work around there.
Speaker 1: Dale was super quick into you know, sort of producer, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, event manager type. Roland was just really outspoken
Speaker 1: and he kind of go on these monologue. I was like,
Speaker 1: what was going on? Oh my gosh, And so that
Speaker 1: was you know, kind of took me back, but I
Speaker 1: realized that's totally fair game, absolutely normal. But I was
Speaker 1: impressed by both his eloquence and and just kind of
Speaker 1: the way that he stepped up immediately and that sort of,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of nudged me along. It's time to
Speaker 1: you know, find your voice, and you know, it took
Speaker 1: me about it took me twenty four to forty eight
Speaker 1: hours to kind of get there, and then I was
Speaker 1: pretty comfortable found it. Yeah, you know, I took a
Speaker 1: nice stretch and I was all right, got the scurf
Speaker 1: off exactly exactly? Did the men for the roast? Okay,
Speaker 1: did y'all like have a plan? Did y'all all get
Speaker 1: together and say, you know what, we're gonna Roastdale like
Speaker 1: like that or was it? Everyone was on their own
Speaker 1: and you were kind of surprised with the material that
Speaker 1: was presented at the roast, very very surprised. And obviously
Speaker 1: you only get you know, a portion, you know in
Speaker 1: the show, right, Um, you know, you were given an
Speaker 1: hour to get to get your jokes together and then
Speaker 1: you're performing. Um. You know, I spent a lot of
Speaker 1: time just writing and and I this this kind of
Speaker 1: came very very natural and easy to me. I was
Speaker 1: writing a ton of jokes, a ton of roast, and
Speaker 1: I was really focused on the content. But what you
Speaker 1: discount is that if you're doing stand up, your delivery
Speaker 1: matters one hundred percent. It's like a big, big part
Speaker 1: of it. And so I didn't really spend enough time,
Speaker 1: you know, practicing that. And that was you know that Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: I give my myself, you know, kind of a B
Speaker 1: minus on that. Um, But I think the content was there.
Speaker 1: I know that everyone was trying to roast everyone, and
Speaker 1: you know, I thought in my roast that kind of
Speaker 1: came out. I did roast every single person in the house,
Speaker 1: every single person in the in the audience. UM. But
Speaker 1: I did have a few pages on Dale and uh
Speaker 1: and that was three pages, um. And you know what
Speaker 1: was really cute is that I don't think that this
Speaker 1: made the edits is that you know, Claire was coming
Speaker 1: around and talking to the guys that were on the
Speaker 1: date and checking in on, you know, the roast. We
Speaker 1: had some really really good laughs, and I showed her
Speaker 1: all of my jokes except for three pages, and I
Speaker 1: just sort of held those, you know, in my sleeve
Speaker 1: and brought them you know later. So you know, I
Speaker 1: don't think that there was any surprise that Dale kind
Speaker 1: of got, you know, roasted. I thought that I was
Speaker 1: low hanging fruit to be roasted, simply for the scarf
Speaker 1: and the and the loafers and just the sort of
Speaker 1: Bennett persona in general. And I did take some good
Speaker 1: heat there, but you know, Dale, Dale clearly, you know,
Speaker 1: got it the worst. I wouldn't know going into that
Speaker 1: night after the roast was over and going into the
Speaker 1: cocktail party, because what we saw is Claire going around
Speaker 1: talking to all of you men, but only asking about Dale.
Speaker 1: And then were you guys all aware of that, Like,
Speaker 1: were you guys think going back to each other? I
Speaker 1: mean like she only talked about Dale, She only asked
Speaker 1: about Dale. She asked why we roasted so hard? Like
Speaker 1: what was that conversation that evening? Like, yeah, that was
Speaker 1: really frustrating. Um, you know, we were at that point
Speaker 1: where this was our chance to kind of pivot off
Speaker 1: of the roast, not have jokes, and you wanted to
Speaker 1: further the relationship with Claire and get to get to
Speaker 1: really you know, know her, get to talk about yourself,
Speaker 1: get to talk about her, ask her questions and all
Speaker 1: those you know, things that are really really important and
Speaker 1: impactful for developing a relationship. And she was constantly bringing
Speaker 1: it back to Dale, and so that was really really frustrating,
Speaker 1: and I kind of tried to deflect that, you know,
Speaker 1: immediately and say I really appreciate, you know, in the jokes.
Speaker 1: It was good and fun, but we're not the roast anymore.
Speaker 1: Not here too. I've never been on a date and
Speaker 1: talked about another guy in my life, and I'm not
Speaker 1: sure why I'm doing that now, And was trying to
Speaker 1: just get away from that as quickly as possible. I know, Ben,
Speaker 1: you know, was in the same, you know, similar position,
Speaker 1: and you know, we did come back and when we
Speaker 1: would finish our conversation with Claire and come back to
Speaker 1: the guys, you know, say, that's super frustrating. I don't
Speaker 1: know what we can do here. It seems like, you know,
Speaker 1: no matter what we say, no matter what we try
Speaker 1: to do, and it's always circling back to Dale. It
Speaker 1: was like out of our hands. Yeah, I will say this.
Speaker 1: I think you guys handled it that evening well because
Speaker 1: I was even getting frustrated watching the conversations go down
Speaker 1: where she just keeps asking about him, and I thought
Speaker 1: you guys all tried to deflect very well. But I
Speaker 1: told Rachel at the top of this episode, I started
Speaker 1: to feel for you guys. I was like, this is
Speaker 1: just turning into the Dale Show. So you know, it's
Speaker 1: frustrated enough leaving your friends and your family and everything
Speaker 1: that you're used to coming into the show in the
Speaker 1: first place, and then to just have to wait around
Speaker 1: and have all of your attention and conversation fixated on
Speaker 1: one man has got to be so draining. So I mean,
Speaker 1: kudos to you for trying to deflect and hang in there.
Speaker 1: So Bennett, I think it was I think it was
Speaker 1: the intro package when you were first moving into La Quinta,
Speaker 1: still in quarantine waiting to pass the test. You were
Speaker 1: reading up on a book about emotional intelligence. So I
Speaker 1: want to know did you actually own that book? And
Speaker 1: b were you able to put any of the learnings
Speaker 1: to good use while while you were on the season. Yeah,
Speaker 1: of course, you know, I think emotional intelligence, self awareness,
Speaker 1: you know, all of those components that kind of make
Speaker 1: it up are really really important and far more important
Speaker 1: than IQ. I think EQ, you know, in relationships is
Speaker 1: you know, chiefly important. Um. So I did that book,
Speaker 1: that book I had read you know, already twice and
Speaker 1: was just bringing its kind of another refresher Um. I
Speaker 1: have actually three different books on emotional intelligence and was
Speaker 1: bringing that just as a kind of a quick It's
Speaker 1: an easy quick read with a bunch of different you know, anecdotes,
Speaker 1: And I thought that was good to kind of, you know,
Speaker 1: pound into my head as just you know, helpful learning
Speaker 1: tools for the process. Knowing it's high stress environment, you're
Speaker 1: constantly being challenged, you're constantly being called out, You're in
Speaker 1: this super hyper competitive you know, and I just thought
Speaker 1: that was probably one of the best things I could bring,
Speaker 1: um in terms of study material and something just to
Speaker 1: kind of be constantly mind full of throughout the journey.
Speaker 1: And that's that's why I brought it, and it was
Speaker 1: you know, it was serious. Is something I really really
Speaker 1: value and I think we can always be trying to become,
Speaker 1: you know, more self aware and better with our relationship
Speaker 1: management skills, et cetera. So, yeah, we need more contestants
Speaker 1: like you on the show, like way to raise the
Speaker 1: bar wait execute bringing research material to that bachelor bubble
Speaker 1: so that you can mentally be prepared and self aware.
Speaker 1: My goodness, very good, love to see it. My one.
Speaker 1: My other book that I you know there was the
Speaker 1: kind of the you know, big one was thinking fast
Speaker 1: and thinking slow, you know Daniel conomy, which is very um,
Speaker 1: you know, applicable as well, So why not bring things
Speaker 1: that are going to be relevant to exactly what you
Speaker 1: were doing. I had one kind of fast read that
Speaker 1: I brought as well and journaled every day to kind
Speaker 1: of get that up, get that out and refine and
Speaker 1: constantly be thinking through everything that you're you know, going through.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I thought, you know, being mindful, um, it's
Speaker 1: important to all of us, especially when you're in a
Speaker 1: situation like the bachelorette at any point where you like,
Speaker 1: you know what, you need this book more than me.
Speaker 1: You know, did you think let me let me pass
Speaker 1: these books out because you seem like you need this
Speaker 1: to take a deep dive into the thought you know
Speaker 1: ran through my mind. Whether it was a gift to
Speaker 1: a producer or whether it was a gift to you know,
Speaker 1: another contestant. But you're gonna have to I think tune
Speaker 1: in to see that one time. Oh yes, okay, I
Speaker 1: am curious because it's always hard when when you go
Speaker 1: through when you're in the bubble, that's what we call it.
Speaker 1: Even before you were in an actual bubble, that's what
Speaker 1: it was referred to. It's one thing to be immersed
Speaker 1: in the entire experience or journey, should I say, it's
Speaker 1: another thing to watch the whole thing play out. Now
Speaker 1: you've got family and friends and co workers that know
Speaker 1: that you were on this crazy show. You've seen three
Speaker 1: episodes now at this point, what has it been like
Speaker 1: and what what has in the feedback that you've received
Speaker 1: from like your close friends, family, and your co workers. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I think everyone is super excited about it. Friends, family, Um,
Speaker 1: you know, they're they're all equally, you know, nervous and excited.
Speaker 1: It's it's it's COVID, it's quarantine. Everyone's been starved for entertainment.
Speaker 1: They never thought that, certainly I would be doing something
Speaker 1: like this, So it's it's kind of a shock value
Speaker 1: and it's weird, you know, personally to see yourself on TV,
Speaker 1: of course, that is that is super weird. And you know, my, my,
Speaker 1: your mannerisms, your expressions, all those things that are caught
Speaker 1: that you cannot control at times are there, right, It's
Speaker 1: very very real that first episode, I was sweating through
Speaker 1: my button up that I could totally totally sweat through it,
Speaker 1: like I looked like I just came out of a
Speaker 1: basketball game, um and had a little you know zoom
Speaker 1: with friends afterwards to say hello, and I was drenched.
Speaker 1: I mean, I was so embarrassed and just you know,
Speaker 1: excited at the same time. But it's all part of
Speaker 1: the fun. You know, you gotting brace it and just
Speaker 1: kind of roll with the punches and know that you know,
Speaker 1: hopefully you own your your behavior and what you put
Speaker 1: out there and what you did you know on the journey,
Speaker 1: and as as long as you know, stay confident and
Speaker 1: true to who you are. I think you know, you
Speaker 1: can't go too wrong knock on wood hopefully. I feel
Speaker 1: like you have a very good head on your shoulder,
Speaker 1: So I'm not worried like in past season. So I'm
Speaker 1: always like, I don't know how these guys are gonna
Speaker 1: fair after this, but i will say this, Claire had
Speaker 1: probably the best group of guys that we've seen. So
Speaker 1: what is one thing that you learned about yourself that
Speaker 1: you didn't know before after going through all of filming? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, Um, honestly, I've always been pretty outgoing, but
Speaker 1: I had no idea that I had all this built up,
Speaker 1: pent up social energy from being in quarantine that just
Speaker 1: needed to come out in a crazy way. And and
Speaker 1: you know, it's funny, I think even going into it,
Speaker 1: every sort of work zoom, every work call, and that's
Speaker 1: you know, a big part of my job. Of course,
Speaker 1: you know everyone and everyone's on the phone, but I
Speaker 1: would get off, Oh that was such a good call.
Speaker 1: I'm re energized. That felt so good, And it's just
Speaker 1: simple because I was in this like you know, cell
Speaker 1: right and my Manhattan apartment, so it really really needed that. Um.
Speaker 1: I would say that I feel, you know, very very
Speaker 1: comfortable with myself and in terms of having conversations that
Speaker 1: are I don't know, I don't know, um, force isn't
Speaker 1: the right word, but advanced conversations with relationships that you
Speaker 1: know sometimes are uncomfortable and tough to you know, bring
Speaker 1: out when you're talking about, you know, the menu at
Speaker 1: a Japanese restaurant and like working through your just sort
Speaker 1: of first third date bant or whatever it may be.
Speaker 1: You know, I have no problem with just kind of coming,
Speaker 1: you know, with it, bringing the wood right immediately and
Speaker 1: just kind of jumping into things right. I think, um,
Speaker 1: that is a life lesson that I think really suits
Speaker 1: you well for relationships going forward. I think, um, just
Speaker 1: kind of the way that you approach relationships, whether it
Speaker 1: be you know, family, friends, loved ones, etc. You're much
Speaker 1: better suited to have in depth personal conversations at will
Speaker 1: without hesitation. And that's probably you know, one of the
Speaker 1: best things I took away from as well as you know,
Speaker 1: the friends and the relationships built both among you know,
Speaker 1: contestants and producers and everyone. You know, that's something that
Speaker 1: I will take with me always. Yeah, I love that
Speaker 1: you said that, because that's one thing from my time
Speaker 1: on The Bachelor than my own season. The main takeaway,
Speaker 1: you know, like I found love for a short amount
Speaker 1: of time, but those friendships are lasting, and I'm glad
Speaker 1: that you found that not only with the other men,
Speaker 1: but with producers too, because some of them become your
Speaker 1: your lifelongers. Absolutely, I mean I'm so. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: texting them now, calling them now, speaking with them, like
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, they're they're they're living your life. They're
Speaker 1: in your shoes right for that time, and there's no
Speaker 1: experience like that, you know, and in reality, So that
Speaker 1: is absolutely something I'm incredibly appreciative of. I mean, I
Speaker 1: owe those guys so much. Yeah. Yeah, We're still close
Speaker 1: with several producers as well, so we understand it not
Speaker 1: just because we do this podcast like in real life. Okay,
Speaker 1: so we're going to ask you this question and then
Speaker 1: we're going to switch gears a bit. But usually at
Speaker 1: the end of every episode, we give or we ask
Speaker 1: whoever our guest is on the show to give us
Speaker 1: a rose and a thorn at the end of the episode.
Speaker 1: But since last night we had a roast, we have
Speaker 1: to ask you to give a rose and a roast
Speaker 1: for the episode. So how this is going to work
Speaker 1: is you need to choose a person and you're going
Speaker 1: to give a rose too from this episode, and then
Speaker 1: the other person you're going to give a rose to them,
Speaker 1: and then you know what to do because you do
Speaker 1: it so well. I mean, nobody else dropped the mic
Speaker 1: at the end of their roast. All right, hang on,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to think about this one. You know
Speaker 1: fairly roasted out wasn't ready for this, and I'm kind
Speaker 1: of recalibrating, you know, the third episode. Um, you know
Speaker 1: the the I mean, it's tough not to give you know,
Speaker 1: Dale both rose and roast, but he's kind of received
Speaker 1: enough you know, attention at this point, I'd rather go
Speaker 1: another direction. Um, can I offer a suggestion somebody who
Speaker 1: wasn't in the room who really deserved to be roast in?
Speaker 1: And we didn't ask you about this person as Joseph,
Speaker 1: so by all means, if you'd like to roast him,
Speaker 1: we'd be more than welcome to it, and I think
Speaker 1: our listeners would appreciate it as well. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I think the way that that's totally fair. For the
Speaker 1: first we can start with, I'd like to I guess
Speaker 1: we can start with the roast if you like, UM, yes,
Speaker 1: that's an easy and the roast, you know, I think
Speaker 1: is probably should kind of go to Joseph. Um. He
Speaker 1: unfortunately wasn't there right at the roast, and just the
Speaker 1: way that he kind of went about the whole thing
Speaker 1: with Claire was really unfortunate. You know, I don't think
Speaker 1: that I honestly don't think that he intended to come
Speaker 1: out that way. I think he had some beef that
Speaker 1: he wanted to uh air, and probably got a little
Speaker 1: worked up, and just some true colors kind of came out.
Speaker 1: I don't think that, you know, I don't I don't
Speaker 1: have any ill will against him. Is actually a very earnest,
Speaker 1: you know, Southern guy who talks a lot and just
Speaker 1: kind of, um got really caught up. And I don't
Speaker 1: think there's ever a place to be, you know, yelling
Speaker 1: and screaming and ranting and raving you know, at a
Speaker 1: woman or in any relationship, much less when you know
Speaker 1: that you're on TV and you know, and and dating
Speaker 1: a girl that a bunch of other guys are dating. UM.
Speaker 1: So that came across and just looked really really poorly,
Speaker 1: especially for the way that um, you know, he always
Speaker 1: just talking about his daughter. And you know, the last
Speaker 1: thing I know that YO wants with you know, his
Speaker 1: daughter's her to be in some relationship like that in
Speaker 1: the future where she's got some guy harrassing and yelling
Speaker 1: and calling your names and all those things. Right, So
Speaker 1: that was tough. You know, that struck a chord with me.
Speaker 1: I didn't really appreciate that. Um, you know, haven't seen
Speaker 1: Josepher has spoken with him, you know, since the journey,
Speaker 1: but UM, I imagine he's got some regrets you know
Speaker 1: about that one. Um as far as uh, you know arose, Um,
Speaker 1: you know, I think I'll maybe have to give it
Speaker 1: to a guy who has kind of been a little
Speaker 1: bit off camera you know up until this point. Okay,
Speaker 1: And that's that's why it's you know, one of those
Speaker 1: you wouldn't see it. You haven't seen it thus far.
Speaker 1: He hasn't had a lot of airtime. But there's a
Speaker 1: reason he's around and he continues, you know, on his
Speaker 1: journey as a reason he's continued. But I think he
Speaker 1: was sort of a you know, house favorite and someone
Speaker 1: that everyone loved and um, you know, kept everyone laughing constantly.
Speaker 1: Is Ed and Ed's Miami Ed. Miami Ed very very
Speaker 1: overlooked um you know in the early episodes, but he
Speaker 1: starts coming out and breaking out. But he was always
Speaker 1: full forced in the house. And I think every single
Speaker 1: guy would say that Ed was probably the most hilarious
Speaker 1: person in the house. Um, straight comedy constantly and just
Speaker 1: someone that you know, maybe maybe he would come after you,
Speaker 1: you know, if he had some beef, but he wasn't
Speaker 1: afraid and he'd go straight to it and just constant
Speaker 1: love and sincere like hilarious, Like he's the funniest guy.
Speaker 1: I love this insight. I know, I can't. We never
Speaker 1: would have know. We never, I never would have guessed
Speaker 1: Ed exactly. Ed. Ed is one of the biggest characters
Speaker 1: in the show. And I think you know he is
Speaker 1: in terms of, you know, just his humor and personality.
Speaker 1: Everyone loves Ed. And I think that'll that'll that'll pop
Speaker 1: out as we continue here gets out of orb and
Speaker 1: the bubble wrap, and you know, all he seeing, he'll move,
Speaker 1: he'll move out of his figurative bubble, you know, sooner
Speaker 1: than later. I expect a lot from Miami. I just
Speaker 1: move from there, so I appreciate it. That's what his
Speaker 1: personality is I get what this is why I love
Speaker 1: having you guys on this because you give us such
Speaker 1: a different insight than what we see each week after
Speaker 1: only two hours. So I can't wait to see what
Speaker 1: Ed brings to the table. But Ben, we love our
Speaker 1: games on this podcast, and so we couldn't let you
Speaker 1: go without playing one. And it's obviously no secret that
Speaker 1: you have mentioned Harvard. And while we don't know a
Speaker 1: ton about Harvard, we've learned enough about it from Legally Blonde,
Speaker 1: and we know all about our girl, Claire. So with
Speaker 1: that combined knowledge, we've built a little game for you. Okay,
Speaker 1: So obviously to get into Harvard, I'm assuming you have
Speaker 1: to have impeccable study skills. We're gonna put those skills
Speaker 1: to the test by seeing how well you were able
Speaker 1: to study Claire. Okay. This game is called Harvard Grad
Speaker 1: or Batcherette Hat. So here's how it's gonna work. We're
Speaker 1: gonna go through some different quotes. We're gonna throw them
Speaker 1: at you and you have to guess whether they were
Speaker 1: spoken by l Woods in Legally Blonde or Claire during
Speaker 1: pre season. Okay, Okay, so just for some clarity or clarification,
Speaker 1: if you will. These quotes are all from either the
Speaker 1: Legally Blonde movies or any season that Claire has appeared on.
Speaker 1: So you know, she's been on Paradise, she was on
Speaker 1: the Bachelor, and obviously her own season. So I think
Speaker 1: there's five season seasons total that we can choose from here. Um,
Speaker 1: so we'll throw them at you and you have to
Speaker 1: give us which one you which woman you thought said it?
Speaker 1: Okayet ready, you seem legally blonde, right of course, Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: good Rachel. Do you want to start it out? Oh? Yeah, sure, Okay,
Speaker 1: here's the first quote. Do you remember when we spent
Speaker 1: those four amazing hours in the hot tub? This is
Speaker 1: so much better than that. Oh yeah, that was good? Correct?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I have to watch this movie now. Um, okay,
Speaker 1: I don't need backups. Claire. M oh wait, let me
Speaker 1: keep telling that was Elwoods. Okay, I'm gonna keep scoring. Okay,
Speaker 1: I would have thought that was Claire too, by the way,
Speaker 1: All right, next quote, you can't deny the fact that
Speaker 1: everybody just loves love. That's tough. Um, I'm gonna go Claire.
Speaker 1: Claire's correct. Nice, Okay, I don't want to sit alone
Speaker 1: every night and watch Golden Girls for the rest of
Speaker 1: my life Old Woods. No, Claire Clari, I hear her saying,
Speaker 1: that's hilarious. Also, watching the Golden Girls for the rest
Speaker 1: of your life isn't a bad thing. It is, that's
Speaker 1: all you're doing. That's really really funny. Um did she
Speaker 1: say that with one Pablo? I don't. I don't. I
Speaker 1: didn't watch I didn't watch watch poplo. Did you were
Speaker 1: you a fan of the show or did you watch
Speaker 1: the show before you want it? I had watched zero
Speaker 1: prior to going on this show. You guys are gonna
Speaker 1: love answer. You love this answer. And then once I
Speaker 1: click submit, I immediately watched Claire in one Pablo and
Speaker 1: then you two. Oh no, well we help. It helped.
Speaker 1: I mean, I haven't learned this sequence, you know. And
Speaker 1: I think it was a combination of you guys being
Speaker 1: on you know it was it was on your seasons
Speaker 1: were readily available on Prime or Hulu or something. You know.
Speaker 1: I don't know, between between watching the past seasons and
Speaker 1: catching up on emotional intelligence. You really put in the
Speaker 1: work for this. I tried, you know, I think you
Speaker 1: got to do your due diligence when you get into
Speaker 1: something that is this, that's for sure. Okay, nice quote.
Speaker 1: You must always have faith in people, and most importantly,
Speaker 1: you must always have faith in yourself. Man, this game
Speaker 1: is hard. Um legally blon would yep yep. She says
Speaker 1: it in her spee and a graduation when she's giving
Speaker 1: her final argument type see yeah, which is always so
Speaker 1: funny because it was such a quick speech. And I
Speaker 1: feel like, if you're sitting through graduation, it's going to
Speaker 1: be longer than that. But law school isn't a law school.
Speaker 1: Graduation is quick. Ready to get over there? Yeah done?
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I'm talking to two. He went to Harvard.
Speaker 1: I just went to law school. He um, okay, next up?
Speaker 1: Where are we? This is just like c Span, except
Speaker 1: I'm not bored. I would love to say, Claire, but
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go out woods all right. Next one, it's
Speaker 1: not about being fair, It's about what's in your heart. Claire. Yeah,
Speaker 1: m hmm. You are in a role. Okay, I'm not
Speaker 1: checked out, but I'm not going to sit here and
Speaker 1: be fake Clara. M hm. Nice, all right. Last one
Speaker 1: exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy and happy
Speaker 1: people just don't kill their husbands line, all right, So
Speaker 1: on a one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight nine, Bennett,
Speaker 1: you've got seven on a nine. That's all right, it's
Speaker 1: pretty good. That's good. You pass. You pass the test.
Speaker 1: I guess I passed. Yeah. Yeah, it's not stellar. No,
Speaker 1: you're not getting to say you're not getting good. Oh, Bennett,
Speaker 1: this has been really great. It's it's so nice when
Speaker 1: we get these opportunities where we watch you on the
Speaker 1: TV screen, but then we get to have these conversations
Speaker 1: where it's so much more personal and we get a
Speaker 1: little bit more insight into who you are, how you
Speaker 1: even got here and became a part of this crazy world.
Speaker 1: But we're glad that we did get to talk to you.
Speaker 1: We hope you stay in. It's not your family, You're
Speaker 1: you're part of that's nation now or not, you're stuck
Speaker 1: with us. Yeah, thank you. I'm happy to be a
Speaker 1: part of it. It was phenomenal experience. I wouldn't trade
Speaker 1: it for the world. A dute again tomorrow, So let's
Speaker 1: you know, talk and hang out. Oh that was great.
Speaker 1: That's great, Bennett. I told you. They said, they say, Ben,
Speaker 1: it's the coolest guy in the house. And you know
Speaker 1: probably why because you thought he was one way and
Speaker 1: then he turns out to be something different, really wholesome,
Speaker 1: clearly a great head on his shoulders. I mean, how
Speaker 1: impressive is he so impressive? And that's like a plane
Speaker 1: into you always think you know somebody, Like we go
Speaker 1: off of these bios that are five sentences and totally
Speaker 1: just judge them right away, and it's so refreshing having
Speaker 1: them on for this hour to talk to them and
Speaker 1: actually get to know them away from the cameras and
Speaker 1: the big screen and all the drama. And yeah, he's
Speaker 1: just a great guy. I remember you did say, Rachel,
Speaker 1: when we were going through the bios, you said you
Speaker 1: only had room for one Bennett, and I know who
Speaker 1: you're talking about because it's one of the producers. But
Speaker 1: I think we have room for two. Yeah, maybe we'll
Speaker 1: call this Spinne by his middle name. But you know
Speaker 1: what I also learned talking about it. Okay, he might
Speaker 1: have been playing into a persona, but he can definitely
Speaker 1: afford a rolls Royce, Chateau de ban and it is
Speaker 1: the scarf, the loafers, all of it. He can actually
Speaker 1: afford all of it after hearing what he's about what
Speaker 1: he does for a living. I mean, it's truly good.
Speaker 1: Shout out to casting because what an impressive man. And
Speaker 1: let's let's let's continue in this lane. Let's continue bringing
Speaker 1: you on men like this. I like it. I love
Speaker 1: the fact too that he like he seems like he
Speaker 1: was finding his life, like had a great job, a
Speaker 1: great apartment, but he's like, I was just stuck in quarantine.
Speaker 1: Like I wanted human interaction. I needed that in my life.
Speaker 1: And so kudos to him for just throwing it all
Speaker 1: out there and see like, whatever happens happens, and so
Speaker 1: I'm so glad that the show was able to find him. Yeah, ladies,
Speaker 1: the lesson here get you a man who can do
Speaker 1: both but then can also roast the shit out of
Speaker 1: someone on The Bachelor. That is a man that can
Speaker 1: do both. So Bennett, we appreciate it, and he knows
Speaker 1: about skincare. Okay, okay, Bacca. Before we get off this podcast,
Speaker 1: we have to address how this episode ended. Okay, I
Speaker 1: need your thoughts because you know, vast Nation has a
Speaker 1: love hate relationship with me, so I don't want to
Speaker 1: say necessarily the wrong thing. So I'm curious to think.
Speaker 1: I'm curious to know, am I crazy and how I'm thinking.
Speaker 1: But at the end of this episode, we get a
Speaker 1: preview of what is to come, and we see a
Speaker 1: woman rise out of the pool and an orange bikini
Speaker 1: looking stunning, and that woman is Tasia and she stares
Speaker 1: directly into the camera, and that's how it is, your thoughts.
Speaker 1: I was not expecting that, to be honest, I was
Speaker 1: very verry caught off guard. I mean, every episode we
Speaker 1: see it end with and coming next week, and I
Speaker 1: did not expect them to have Titia come out of
Speaker 1: the pool. To me, that one scene felt kind of
Speaker 1: awkward and very choppy, like, Oh, let's just slap it
Speaker 1: in there real quick and call it a day, because
Speaker 1: we gotta like let our viewers know what's about to come.
Speaker 1: Like I wish it, like if we're gonna announce a
Speaker 1: new woman coming on, I want to give her the
Speaker 1: time and the respect and you know, like the proper intro,
Speaker 1: and that I think fell very flat. Yeah, maybe this
Speaker 1: is what I'm hoping. I agree with you wholeheartedly. And
Speaker 1: what I'm hoping is they just gave that to us
Speaker 1: as a tease and then when it actually, you know,
Speaker 1: we see how it all plays out, then we'll see
Speaker 1: a true introduction, you know, like when we meet her
Speaker 1: and we see her come on the scene. Hopefully it's
Speaker 1: not like popping out of a pool because there's snow denied. Like,
Speaker 1: we both agree, she looked beautiful, it was hot. You know,
Speaker 1: she stole the scene. It got our attention. But and
Speaker 1: it was a great tease. So let's just hope, like,
Speaker 1: you know, when it actually happens, we get just a
Speaker 1: little bit more, little bit more not yeah, yeah, not
Speaker 1: just a taste test. But I mean, Dan, when I
Speaker 1: watched her come out of the pullups, like, ay, how
Speaker 1: do you look that good walking out of the water,
Speaker 1: how is your makeup not running? Like your hair's perfectly
Speaker 1: flip flicked back? Like she didn't look flawless, But she's
Speaker 1: there's also so much more than just like this sexy woman.
Speaker 1: So I want to see more. I want to you know,
Speaker 1: you don't want it to be that she deserves, yes,
Speaker 1: but she did look like a bond girl. No, I'm
Speaker 1: just saying they're like like a true Bond girl. And
Speaker 1: maybe it's because when Hallie Berry was coming out of
Speaker 1: the water, which maybe that's what they were trying to imitate.
Speaker 1: When Hallie Berry's coming out of the water, I'm pretty
Speaker 1: sure she had on an orange bikini. I'm not you know,
Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong, but I think she had
Speaker 1: on an orange bikini, and I think that's what they
Speaker 1: were trying to imitate. Now like Kita was in the
Speaker 1: back instead of the ocean, But well, we'll take it.
Speaker 1: We'll still take it. Was it orange, I'm let's see,
Speaker 1: oh uh huh, well orange or pink with a white belt? Yeah? Orange,
Speaker 1: it's orange. You're right, right. I wish I could like
Speaker 1: be all sexy, like, yeah, let's Taia. That must be
Speaker 1: what they were tapping into. And yes, on a hotness level,
Speaker 1: Tasia was a ten plus plus plus plus, but we
Speaker 1: shall see. At least at least we're finally acknowledging Tasha
Speaker 1: Becca Claire's season is truly the gift that keeps on giving.
