13
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,080

15
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 2: Kind of competitive.

16
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:45,480
Speaker 3: We're gonna we reduced bracketology to come up with the Okay, fine,

17
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 3: he tires me out all the time.

18
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 4: Go ahead, Well you got to tell him what we're

19
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 4: betting on.

20
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 3: Okay, that's what I wanted to say.

21
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you're talking about bets without anybody knowing that's

22
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 4: listening exactly.

23
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 3: Okay, it wasn't explicit there the Golden Bachelor season.

24
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 4: I'm not timing you out. I'm saying, let's go ahead

25
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 4: and explain what we're setting up for ourselves and also

26
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 4: our listeners to participate in.

27
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 3: Okay, So guys, this is what we did this afternoon.

28
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 3: We both downloaded this app.

29
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 2: It's free.

30
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 3: It's called Bracketology, and it's a very simple Bachelor, Golden Bachelor.

31
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 3: They have one for every season bracket. We have filled

32
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 3: it out so I have week to week who will

33
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 3: be eliminated. But today we'll just talk about the big

34
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 3: ones like your final four is your fantasy this week week?

35
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 2: And your you know, final two and final.

36
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 3: Now, Ben, well, it's very nice to have your bracket

37
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 3: out because you can see everything so clearly with this app.

38
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 3: It's really really nice. Anyway, So Ben, I was thinking

39
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 3: we could like take this seriously and see, you know,

40
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 3: who gets further, who gets more points along the way,

41
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 3: more accurate predictions. We could do it financial. Our producer

42
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 3: mentioned that, but then she also said possible you can

43
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 3: give something to each other. The winner obviously gets a

44
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 3: gift from the loser. So Ben, you know what I'd want.

45
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 3: This is the creepiest thing ever.

46
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 4: I want to know. It's so bad.

47
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 3: Now, next time we're together, I want half an hour

48
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 3: Ben Niggins with shoulder massage. I'm not lying down, guys,

49
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 3: just a little tank top was Justice's hands on my shoulders.

50
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 3: If you never had Niggins massage, you're missing out. That's

51
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 3: pretty much most of you. But he has given a

52
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 3: shocking amount of massages to his fellow you know, bachelor

53
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 3: co stars.

54
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 4: Huh deal, Okay, I want the same thing in return though.

55
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 3: Our Easton, our audio it is Uh, he's saying that

56
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 3: our engineer, our audio engineer Easton, if you can, guys,

57
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 3: get with it. You know who Easton has afterly eight years,

58
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 3: he said he can confirm you do give the best massages.

59
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 4: Oh that's really sweet, guys. Yeah, but I want the

60
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 4: same thing from you.

61
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 3: Then, really, but I'm not as great as you.

62
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 4: I want one hundred percent of your effort. I want

63
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 4: this to be the one time that you have to

64
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 4: and that you're committed to it and that you're you're

65
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 4: fully in.

66
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 3: All right, I'm gonna have to work out my hands

67
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 3: for that one for a half an hour. Yeah, I

68
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 3: think I'd rather just pay one hundred dollars. All right. Well,

69
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 3: we'll say it'll be something along those lines. But I

70
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 3: thank you. Think sounds good. Let's plain on this, all right?

71
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 3: So Ben, uh, do you want to go through who?

72
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 3: We both on Sepper podcasts give quick reactions to who

73
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 3: we thought would stand out, but after some thought and consideration.

74
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 2: I feel like I've made some intelligent picks. What about you?

75
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 4: I feel really good about it. Ashley, You're really into this.

76
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 3: I didn't think I was. I don't think I would be.

77
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 3: I've never done a bracket in my life.

78
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 4: How so for like listeners of this show to compete

79
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 4: against us, how would they do that.

80
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 2: To compete against us?

81
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I like to see where our points lie with theirs.

82
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 3: This would be they have to join the same league.

83
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 3: And I'm just in bracketology Golden Bachelor League. Okay, and

84
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 3: my name is it's Ashley. I Oh, there's five thousand

85
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 3: other people in this.

86
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness. Somehow my user name got made Enjoy

87
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 4: autocorrect it from Ben Higgy to enjoy someone to keep

88
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 4: it because it feels it feels right. But let's go

89
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 4: through who were get like taking. I mean, I don't

90
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 4: think we're giving too much away from the listener. Obviously,

91
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 4: they don't want to choose exactly who we're choosing because

92
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 4: that would just make us tie. And what the fun is?

93
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 2: Yeah?

94
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 3: Well, Ben, Well, I think is fun here though, is

95
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 3: that you and I have made picks and we don't

96
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 3: know who each other picked here in writing like I

97
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 3: could screenshot it right now and send to you and

98
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 3: be like, look, I did not manipulate this based on

99
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 3: our conversation.

100
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 4: I agree with you. How about you get started here?

101
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 2: Okay? All right?

102
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:24,119
Speaker 3: So hometowns, yeah, okay, my hometown picks are Carol, Debbie Maya,

103
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 3: and Nicole.

104
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 2: What about you?

105
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 4: So my hometown picks were this, Nicole, my Lean. I

106
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 4: am a massive, massive fan of Andra. Andra I think

107
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 4: it's Andre Cassandra, it's her sister, So Andra, I just

108
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 4: I really, I don't know. No, And Lisa, I think

109
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 4: he's actually going to go for the blondes. I think

110
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 4: he's a blonde guy.

111
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 3: Okay, So I have to say that I went based

112
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 3: on like youthful looks, since we all know that.

113
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 2: He likes a youthful look.

114
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 3: And I also went on athletics because you know that's

115
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 3: big for him. I also made southern California something that

116
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 3: I considered in making this, because that's where he's from.

117
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 3: All right, So Carol, I picked top four, Debbie Maya,

118
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 3: and Nicole.

119
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 2: So I want to should I give you reasonings as

120
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 2: to why I did both all of them?

121
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 4: No? No, no, no, okay, maybe just one like who

122
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 4: who out of this was like very clear to you.

123
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 4: I mean, you kind of gave us your reasoning based

124
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 4: on age, looks, location.

125
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 3: Okay, so I eliminate Debbie this week. Now it seems

126
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 3: as if Debbie and Nicole both may not have been

127
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 3: married before and both seemed to not have kids, so

128
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 3: I had to While I think that that will be

129
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 3: an important component for him, an important element of life

130
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 3: sharing those experiences, I was like, I'm going to eliminate

131
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 3: one of them from contention because of that. No offense

132
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 3: and no you know, just just as for compatibility reasoning.

133
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 2: And then.

134
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 3: I move on to fantasy suites where I have Carol,

135
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 3: Maya and Nicole.

136
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 4: For fantasy suites, Yeah, I have Nicole, my Leen, and

137
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 4: my final fantasy suite goer. The final one is Lisa.

138
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 2: Okay, and why did you eliminate who you eliminated?

139
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 4: I do think when he mentioned how interested he was

140
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 4: in the age of somebody, as much as he wants

141
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 4: to say that, oh, I didn't really mean it, or

142
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 4: I was kind of kidding. I think it is a thing,

143
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,679
Speaker 4: and so I think seventy seven might honestly just be

144
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 4: a little bit too old for him.

145
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 3: Liking Oh my goodness, you're creating quite the age you

146
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 3: got with them.

147
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 2: He's sixty three.

148
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 4: Mm hmm. I eliminated her based on that.

149
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 3: No, I know, but still you have a seventy seven

150
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 3: year old going that far.

151
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 4: I like your vibe, Ashley, I like your vibe.

152
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 3: Okay, Already escape to the coast at the Porta Fino

153
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,480

163
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 3: zero zero four six eight forty two. So for my fantasy,

164
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 3: So you's got Carol, Maya and nicoleic I said, so,

165
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 3: then we find limited that down to the final two,

166
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 3: to which I have Carol and Maya. Now, both of

167
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 3: them very athletically inclined humans. Maya is young, This was

168
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 3: one of the first people that I picked last week

169
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 3: when I was just doing first impressions. She's fifty eight,

170
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 3: so to me, because the cutoff is normally sixty. I

171
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 3: think they put her in here for a reason. I

172
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 3: think that they think they're that compatible that they needed

173
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 3: her to get in at fifty eight. Because the only

174
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 3: other person, like I said last week, you weren't here

175
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 3: with me though, was Kelsey's dad. He was the only

176
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 3: one in his fifties during last season, and he made

177
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 3: it pretty far, and he made it far, but we

178
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 3: know that they wanted him because of multiple reasons. Being

179
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 3: Kelsey's dad was definitely a big one. Maya also is like,

180
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 3: she's a college sports consultant from Malabou, California. They legitimately

181
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 3: live within like an hour or hour and a half

182
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:22,839
Speaker 3: from each other. Coasty people, West Coast people, and she's

183
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 3: looking for somebody who loves sports, someone who's athletic, fun

184
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 3: and flirty, and they both have kids, and I just

185
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 3: think this is possibly the one, or at least the

186
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 3: show saw her as a good possibility as being the one.

187
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 3: Then I chose Carol because Carol's similar vibes. Carol is

188
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 3: a family manager for baseball. She's sixty three, she has

189
00:10:56,080 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 3: like a youthful vibe. She's got three daughters. She went

190
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,959
Speaker 3: back to work becoming the full time manager for her

191
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 3: pro athlete nephew, who is LA Dodgers first baseman Freddy Freeman.

192
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 3: She also returned to college recently and is a thriving

193
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 3: in her late student life.

194
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 2: And I'm like, Okay, this just makes sense.

195
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 3: Again, California girl who is really into sports with kids.

196
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 4: Then that was your final two? Yeah, my final two

197
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 4: is Nicole and Mileen. I just think based on what

198
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 4: we know so far, I feel like they both will

199
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 4: be wow factors for him. They're both gorgeous. All these

200
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 4: women are really pretty.

201
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 3: I will say I agree that those two are to

202
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 3: me just based on these two pictures, like the Hoddest.

203
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, well they look like they're like twenty five years old. Yeah,

204
00:11:58,160 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 4: And so I think they just stand out to me

205
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 4: because I I mean, I think Maya is a great choice.

206
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 4: I do see what you're doing there. I like your philosophy.

207
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 4: I'm going just based on because I know nothing else

208
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 4: about the coming yet other than the pictures and knowing

209
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 4: his comments and knowing where I think his focus lies.

210
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 4: I hope he wants to get married from this show.

211
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 4: I think this dude is out for a good time

212
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 4: so far from what I know, And these two look

213
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 4: like two people that are also out for a good time.

214
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 4: So that's why I'm going with them.

215
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, yeah, So you took a different approach, and

216
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 3: if I were to take that approach, I would have

217
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 3: gone with the same people. My winner is Maya because

218
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 3: again I think that the casting saw them two so

219
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 3: much together that they said, oh, you're fifty eight, It's okay,

220
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 3: come on over, Ben.

221
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 4: My winner is Nicole. My winner is Nicole. I think again,

222
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 4: based on everything I've said, I also just get the

223
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 4: feeling when I see her that she, I mean, here's

224
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 4: what's going to happen, going to go home on night one.

225
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,719
Speaker 4: I'm putting so much on my weight in this, it's

226
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 4: gonna be over for me off to night one. I

227
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 4: honestly just kind of feel like she's the safe bet

228
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 4: from like, personally, I think, if I'm going to have

229
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 4: kind of a horse to ride through this competition, I

230
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 4: want somebody that I believe is going to at least

231
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 4: be there till the final four. And I think, based

232
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,719
Speaker 4: on everything I know, about him and her. I think

233
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 4: she's like one of the sure bets for Final four,

234
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,479
Speaker 4: and so I'm going to ride it to the championship

235
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 4: hoping that I'm right.

236
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 3: All right, Well, there you have it, guys, so play

237
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 3: along with us at Bracketology.

238
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 2: It's an app, they do you make it really easy?

239
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 2: I did.

240
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 3: I never made an app like an app. I never

241
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 3: made a bracket before today, and it's pretty fun.

242
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 4: Did you have fun with it? Ash?

243
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:47,319
Speaker 2: I did?

244
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I enjoy it it. We've always judged people completely

245
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 4: unfairly based on not knowing them in their pictures. That's

246
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 4: just been a thing we've always done. But this kind

247
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 4: of makes me judge them even more because I'm trying

248
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 4: to win here, and so it's not just like fun

249
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 4: and games. I'm going to say this now. I want

250
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 4: to be put on the record for it. I think

251
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 4: Carla is a dark horse that we need to recognize.

252
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I have her going a couple of weeks in.

253
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 2: She's a former model.

254
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 3: This is kind of fun because you do get to

255
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 3: learn a little bit about them. They have their bios

256
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 3: in here, or they have like brief descriptions on the

257
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 3: girls here with their photos. I think it'll make it

258
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 3: watching the first episode and like following along easier.

259
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you fill out something like this and uh, Carly,

260
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 2: yeah she could.

261
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 4: Get far Ashley prediction. Do you think this is going

262
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 4: to be a good season?

263
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 3: See, Heather and I broke this down a little bit

264
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 3: last week with headlines, because one of our headlines was

265
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 3: that Mel said that when he got to the Mansion

266
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 3: night one, he had to face a whole bunch of

267
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 3: flak from the women who are like, so I'm too

268
00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 3: old for you, Like what do you think about?

269
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 2: You know?

270
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 3: So I don't want that storyline to like be like

271
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 3: peppered so much throughout the entire thing, Like make it

272
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 3: be a night one thing is kind of what we

273
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 3: were talking about. But I also feel like it is

274
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 3: something that I'm not going to be able to shake

275
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 3: out of my head for a little while, just because, like,

276
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 3: I'm just not sure that I like him. We know

277
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 3: so little about him, but what we know is kind

278
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 3: of like cringe. So I don't know, it might be

279
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 3: hard for me to get on board, but we'll see.

280
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 3: We again know nothing about him, so maybe he'll be

281
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 3: great on TV.

282
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 4: We don't know enough yet. Let's give him the benefit

283
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 4: of doubt because we are going to be watching this season.

284
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 4: I think these women are still as gorgeous as I

285
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,360

Speaker 3: way of playing this game.

293
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,440
