Speaker 1: friend's house. She had the most cute Instagram where these spread. Um.

7
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: It was in Arlington, Virginia, so we got to see

8
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: the fireworks from her rooftop, which was really cool. And

9
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: I mean, like the National fireworks, which is really awesome.

10
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,319
Speaker 1: I've only seen them a couple of times, even though,

11
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: like I've grown up in Virginia, I've only gone to

12
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: see the DC fireworks couple of times because you know,

13
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: it's crazy, um to get in there and all that, um,

14
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: and like, other than that, pretty relaxing laid by the pool.

15
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: Lois floated out on the pool with Jared, which is

16
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: really cute. But that's about it. What about you? Well,

17
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,639
Speaker 1: I am back in Indie, Sienna on the lake Whyno Lake,

18
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: Indiana represent I'm here right now looking out at the lake. Uh.

19
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,199
Speaker 1: And I just came off the boat to do this podcast.

20
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: So that's something. Now, Jessica's family, uh came in, so

21
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: her parents both came in. They did that last year

22
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 1: and then uh, Jessica's here still they left and my

23
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: parents so we did three full days agether it was

24
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: a blast, like we had an amazing time. Why not.

25
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: No lake really does Fourth of July in a big way.

26
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: It's kind of so a lot of families around here

27
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: call it like their designated Christmas um because kids go

28
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: off and do different things. They don't want to come

29
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 1: back to Indiana for the winner. And so this is

30
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: where like families get together, they do their big dinners.

31
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: They do like I'll like the kids come in. Here's

32
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: the crazy part and this has no I really don't

33
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: want this to come off judgmental, um, but I'm a

34
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: huge fan of fireworks. I grew up. I just love

35
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: lighting of firework and see explodes, seeing the colors, seeing

36
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: what's gonna do. It's always a surprise. There's like just

37
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: a like a mystery to it and like a power

38
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: to It's it's a great thing right to do. I

39
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: really enjoy. I don't understand the idea of fireworks. So,

40
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,679
Speaker 1: for example, our neighbor here in the lake, uh lives

41
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: a couple of houses down he bought ten thousand dollars

42
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: with the fireworks and an incredible show that he put on.

43
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: An incredible show. I mean it's beautiful and the whole

44
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: neighborhood gets together to the watch it. But I just

45
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: so it feels like professional fireworks, like when you go

46
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 1: to like somewhere that the town puts on. I mean, yeah,

47
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: you would never know or there firecracks. What's the worst

48
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 1: in firecrackers and fireworks? And like fireworks are the big ones,

49
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 1: then firecrackers are the little things you buy the stands. Yeah, yeah,

50
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: firecrackers are the things that like Jessica lights off, she's

51
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: allowed to buy fireworks in Indiana. Oh yeah, we do.

52
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: It depends on the stage. Yeah, it depends on the state.

53
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: Well we have. I mean the whole lake was full

54
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,239
Speaker 1: of them at night, uh during the fourth So yes,

55
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: you can definitely buy him here. But nothing really says

56
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: like America like ten th dollars going up in flames

57
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: and like five minutes, you know, it just feels wild

58
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: and and every sort of the way. Now again there's

59
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: nothing like it's a really incredible thing to watch, but

60
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: then when you're done, you're like whoa like that. That

61
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: was just a lot of money up in the air,

62
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: Like it's just it's just a weird time. Okay, whatever,

63
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: whatever you want to spend your money on. I guess hey,

64
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: why not. Well, hey, it was a good holiday weekend.

65
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: The weather is nice in Indiana. But we did take

66
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: some time to sit down with all of you to

67
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: talk about this week's episode of the Bachelorette. It continues

68
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: to be a great season. Katie continues to be a

69
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: terrific bachelorette. We're here to break it down for you

70
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: right now, but before we do, we want to wish

71
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: you all a great holiday weekend, a great week. But

72
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna take a break and we'll come back with

73
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: almost same as podcasts. Alright, guys, it is time to

74
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: recap episode five of Katie season. Um. Alrighty, Well, this

75
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: is actually like a really simple step by step episode,

76
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: very classic. We had our one on one, we had

77
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: our group date, we had another one on one, and

78
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: we had a roast ceremony, and really there wasn't a

79
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: ton of drama. The biggest, you know, topic number one

80
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 1: is definitely Blake coming in. I liked the way that

81
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 1: they started out with Caitlin taking a walk and being like, so,

82
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: how was it when Nick came on? And just having

83
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: that relatability factor and having Caitlyn there for her that

84
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 1: made a lot of sense. I like that. And then

85
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 1: I liked the fact that Taitia came in and in

86
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: your kind of like previewed what was going to happen

87
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: to the guys by saying like I know this, I like,

88
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: I trust him, I hope, and and like I'm vouching

89
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: for him here. So like, I think that was kind

90
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: of her way of saying, like, let's not make this

91
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: so dramatic right now. Um, and the guys really like

92
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: they didn't I didn't really freak out. I think they

93
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: kind of obeyed what she wanted. Yeah, I found this

94
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: is an interesting part. And tell me if I'm crazy, Ashley,

95
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: but Blake walks in, you would expect the guys to

96
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: be shocked, every one of them to be shocked. They

97
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: were very prepared by what said. I think I think

98
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: they were very prepared. I don't think they were happy

99
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: about it, but this would be a moment, as like

100
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: a bachelorette and bachelor, that you're really seeing how like

101
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: you're judging how people react, you're kind of watching and

102
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: seeing Okay, who here seems like overly angry? Who see

103
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 1: here seems just like completely like jealous. Who here isn't

104
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: happy about it? Like nobody is happy that anybody else

105
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: is there, but they're handling it like that's This is

106
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 1: one of those controversial pivot points that we talked about

107
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: every season that I feel like she was probably watching

108
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: who hands like how did the people handle it? Now?

109
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: And we knew this was going to happen, and I'm

110
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 1: glad it did. I don't think it was good for

111
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 1: the guys, but for them him didn't get a one

112
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: on one before somebody else like that would have probably

113
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: disappointed me personally. If I was one of those guys,

114
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: I would have just been like a little bumped. Do

115
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: you remember what happened with Nick on Caitlin season when

116
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 1: did he get his first one on one? Well, we

117
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: it was a different story with Nick, because doesn't it

118
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 1: feel so much different a little bit? But we also

119
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: found out uh dirt, like when Nick came in. I

120
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: forget how exactly, so don't quiz me on it. But

121
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: I do remember knowing that Nick and Caitlin had talked

122
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 1: before and had probably seen each other, like within the

123
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, And so we knew that Nick

124
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: and Caitlin had a history of some kind. We didn't

125
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: know the extent, We didn't know how much they had talked,

126
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: but we knew they had some history when he came on,

127
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: and so it was less of a just one more

128
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: guy thing two more of oh my gosh, like he's

129
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: gonna walk in and sweep this thing away, like we're

130
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 1: all done, like they they were dating before the show.

131
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: This has all been one big set up. Now we

132
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: find out it wasn't, like, but that was going through

133
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: our minds at the time. That's what all the guys

134
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: behind the scenes were talking about, like, Hey, did we

135
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: just get totally like set up here? Now we obviously

136
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: didn't and they didn't play out like that. Yeah, So

137
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: Blake gets the one on one and I think it

138
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: went exactly how we assumed it would go, really well.

139
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: You know, they proved to be pretty compatible. And she

140
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: said like she can imagine walking out of this thing

141
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: with him, which is pretty huge. Uh, And I kind

142
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: of I can see it too, Like I think like

143
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: Blake went to top three, top yeah, top three in

144
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,559
Speaker 1: that day. Can we talk about something for a moment

145
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: that wasn't brought up, and it could just be my insecurities.

146
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: But I had watched two full seasons. It's soon as

147
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: I started to get asked, Hey, do you are you

148
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: interesting to be on the show? I started to watch

149
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: as many season as I could on television. And you

150
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: and I have both admitted that when you show up

151
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: and you meet the bachelor or Bachelor, they, in a

152
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: lot of ways feel like a celebrity. You're nervous, You've

153
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: seen him on TV, you've seen him on the cover

154
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: of magazines, and now you're there in front of them,

155
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: and for a short pid period of time, you're very

156
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: kind of star struck in a way. Is there any

157
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: of that going on with Katie meeting Blake? Like she

158
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 1: had watched him on television, she had watched his season.

159
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: Now she has already been on but then you know,

160
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,719
Speaker 1: he kind of comes in and she already knows a

161
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: bit about him. Like, is there an infatuation with Oh,

162
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: I've watched you on TV? Could that be playing into this? Yeah? No,

163
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: Like I get it, but like Katie is also on

164
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: the same level, if not higher, Like people are going

165
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 1: to make it like that like she's the star here,

166
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: so like, does the star really get star struck by

167
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: the supporting character? Yes, I don't think. Actually I've told

168
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: you this. I was star struck when I met you

169
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: the you know you know this, like when I met you,

170
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: you know this the first time I met you as

171
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: and I was already announced announced the bachelor, or at

172
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: least I was knowing I was going to become the bachelor,

173
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: like they had already kind of told me. I met

174
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: you the first time. I remember that day, and I go,

175
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: I've watched her on television, like I know this human

176
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: like it's it's just a thing. Like I don't think

177
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 1: there's like a hierarchy here. Okay, okay, so two different

178
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: ways of seeing it. I don't know that that's really

179
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: playing a role here. I think there is a benefit

180
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: to their being, um there being like a familiar rare

181
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 1: how do you say that word of familiarity? Yeah, just

182
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: kind of role the RNL and then just keep going,

183
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: yeah with this person like you feel like you already

184
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: kind of know them, which I feel like makes conversation

185
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: easier because you can kind of use what you already

186
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: know fair enough. And and and there there was just like, uh,

187
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: I felt like there was a on this to their

188
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 1: first interaction. I felt like there's a calmness to this date.

189
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: I think they both knew how to date on this show.

190
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: I think that has an advantage like that. That's also

191
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: what I mean when it's a familiarity, just like an

192
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: ease the experience. Yeah, how far did he go on

193
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: Tatious season? Pretty far? Um? I think he was top

194
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: five Okay, which is wild. It's funny He's like, I

195
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: haven't felt this way in the longest time, Like, so,

196
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: you didn't feel that way about Tasia and it didn't

197
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: feel that way about Claire even though you said it. Um.

198
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: I think it's also kind of crazy that it keeps

199
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 1: saying that he was like dumb this twice before. It's like, no,

200
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: he didn't. He was on a season where the league

201
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: dropped out. He was on one season before not to

202
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: let's not make it seem like that. I do think,

203
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: I mean, from what I'm watching on television, I mean,

204
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: the biggest controversy with Blake is gonna be I mean,

205
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: I don't know what he's done in his personal life,

206
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: but it's gonna be, Oh, you're just out to date

207
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: the Bachelor. That's gonna be the thing that everybody's talking about. Now.

208
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,080
Speaker 1: I don't really buy that, because I think this is

209
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: a a good opportunity. I think the bachelorets are always

210
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: incredible people, and so of course you would want to

211
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 1: date them, and if you get the opportunity, like, go

212
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: for it, your single, give it a shot. I'm not

213
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: I just also and I'm assuming this. I don't know

214
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: Blake at all. Never met him. Uh he we did interview. Okay,

215
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: well that's it. But I feel like he's a hopeless romantic.

216
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: I feel like he is. It's easy for him to

217
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: become very interested in somebody because he wants to like

218
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: fall him up? Now does he Is he going to?

219
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I think that's why you probably

220
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,319
Speaker 1: see him going, oh my gosh, I really like Claire,

221
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I really like Tasia, Oh my gosh,

222
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: I really like like Katie. Like I don't think that's

223
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 1: hard for him to get to. I think he's probably

224
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: in it most times when he meets somebody as incredible

225
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: as those three. Yeah, and also, let's remind everyone that

226
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: he also slid into Claire's d MS before the show.

227
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: He's a little d M slider. There you go. So

228
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:06,359
Speaker 1: was I uh, he was actually eliminated seventh seventh okay, seventh, okay? Well, um,

229
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: anything else to say about that? Well, I think we

230
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 1: should point out that Katie did bring up her sexual

231
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: assault history again one on one with Blake. She brought

232
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: it up during the date with the group date with

233
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: Nick and I and it's I think it's just important

234
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 1: that like all these guys know about that. And I

235
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: think what an incredible thing for Katie to do. To know,

236
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: it's bringing awareness to something that so many have to

237
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: suffer through and are healing from, and she took this

238
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: opportunity to do it. And I mean, I think the

239
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: amount of conversations around it, and then also the promotion

240
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: of RAIN and some of the organizations that people can

241
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 1: support who are going out to help, is really incredible.

242
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I she falls in love. I hope this

243
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: is a great love story if all, If that doesn't

244
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: work out, A huge win for this season and for

245
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: Katie's kind of legacy on The Bachelor is to bring

246
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: these conversations to a head so that we can start

247
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: having him again. I think that the fact that she

248
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: brings up that she wanted to pursue a relationship, and

249
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: she went after that guy so intensely afterwards is a

250
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: part of the story that is probably relatable to a

251
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: lot of women, and that's something that nobody talks about,

252
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: just so that she like had a different sense about

253
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: the experience. But well, she's uh and and you know,

254
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: I've really enjoyed watching Katie. I think the way she's

255
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: navigated this thing, uh, not perfectly, but who does. But

256
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: just it's been really I'm really engaged in her season,

257
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: uh and kind of how she's navigating it and how

258
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: she's dealing with these conversations and what she's bringing the light, uh,

259
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: and who she's choosing and who she's not choosing. So

260
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: Katie's done extremely well. And then you know, we see

261
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: the end of this day. Are you shocked at all

262
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: that Blake gets a rose? I'm assuming not. And you

263
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: just made this comment you think he's jumped up to

264
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: top three? Wow? Yeah, because I think like top I

265
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: think top four is Greg Andrew, Blake and Michael. Yeah.

266
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: I agree with that. I think Connor b was up

267
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: there for me. He's definitely dropped down, Yeah, dropped. I

268
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: don't think she's not attracted to him. Yeah, I think

269
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: he's dropped. He had a great first impression, but we've

270
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: kind of seen how that first impression can fade and

271
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: and so I don't I'm with you. I'm looking at

272
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: these names right now. Season there is it happens, uh,

273
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: and so we've gotten to see these other stories kind

274
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: of be highlighted. Well, then we have a group date.

275
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: After Blake gets to Rose, we have a group date

276
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: and it has Greg, Courtney, Aaron, Mike, p Michael, a Andrew,

277
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: m Josh, Justin, Brendan j Names, Connor, Betray and Hunter.

278
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: That is a big group of people. How do we

279
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: have this many people still left? Well, a lot of

280
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: them we don't really know. And I do feel like

281
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: this Rose ceremony cut out a lot of the guys

282
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: that we didn't have any sort of attachment to. Uh.

283
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: This was one of those athletic group dates which we

284
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: all you know, someone always gets hurt. The big takeaway

285
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: here during this is that Hunter is like crazy aggressive

286
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: and he thinks he's impressing Katie by like tackling these

287
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: guys and annoying and annoying them. And then Michael gets

288
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: hurt and Katie calls the game, and she brought up

289
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: the point that if Michael had to go to the hospital,

290
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: he would have been debubbled, right, he would have been

291
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: taken out of the bubble and then not allowed back in.

292
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: How crazy is that. I didn't think about that at all?

293
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: How I mean, Yeah, A whole new element to this

294
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: experience is like you can't get hurt, which surprises me

295
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: that the show is so willing to put. Mean, We've

296
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: had a couple of dates so far that people definitely

297
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: could have got hurt at. Like, I'm shocked that somebody

298
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: hasn't got seriously injured at him wrestling. Uh this, I mean,

299
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: You've grown humans going full speed at each other, some

300
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: to like destroy the other person. Like, I mean, I'm

301
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: surprised the show is taking that risk, but I guess

302
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: it does add a dramatic element. But if Michael would

303
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,479
Speaker 1: have gone home, I honestly think Bachelor Nation just completely

304
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: like erupts like that they are so angry he is

305
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: he has to if he's not a kiddie, he has

306
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: to be considered for the next Bachelor. I need to

307
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: watch him. Everything stops, everything, everything when he's on screen.

308
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, this is we gotta focus in. He's

309
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: so captivating and just the sweetest And that was another

310
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: like takeaway from this this group day is that he

311
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: kind of reveals to all the guys he can find

312
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: been in a few earlier in the season that he's

313
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:08,360
Speaker 1: a widow. And the emotional reaction from these guys Greg

314
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: really really really hit him. Started crying. Um, They're just

315
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: like he's so happy, He's like so positive, and you

316
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: would just never know that this guy was going he

317
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: went through this and I love him. I don't know,

318
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 1: he's just Oh, he's just the sweetest thing. And yeah,

319
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: do you think here's my question though, so we obviously

320
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: see Wells Franco as the commentators for this date, do

321
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: you think Franco just like quarantines for the whole entire season? Like,

322
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: is he on set the whole time? Because this is

323
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,199
Speaker 1: a couple of times we've seen him, not just this season,

324
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: but like he pops up, you know, he does a

325
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: couple host a couple of dates. Do you think he's

326
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,880
Speaker 1: just hanging out? No, it'sn't only been one day this season,

327
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 1: well sure, but two completely different dates. I just wonder,

328
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: I mean, if he pops up again this season, we

329
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: gotta get him on the podcast. I gotta ask him

330
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 1: how much time he spends on set. I mean it

331
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 1: has to be weeks. Well, it wasn't it last year?

332
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: Then he dressed up people. Yeah, so I'm just wanting

333
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 1: if he comes up again. Yeah, he's on call. Why not?

334
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 1: I mean, he shows up. They did great wells and

335
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 1: Franco hilarious. Uh, they do really well together. I'm with

336
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: the ash. I don't have a problem with this date

337
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 1: as much as I do like just straight out wrestling. Uh.

338
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: I would have probably semi enjoyed being a part of

339
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 1: this date, just from the athletic side of it and

340
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 1: the competition side. But there's really no good way. The

341
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: worst part of this date is there's just no good

342
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: way to like show your true character. I mean, I

343
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 1: guess kind of hunter did I guess? I guess that

344
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 1: was a good Yeah, we saw his true character, but

345
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 1: it's just hard. You kind of either get lost in

346
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: the mix and it just doesn't feel like the dates

347
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: that we love. I would definitely rather have the Nick

348
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: File like sit down talk than I with this one.

349
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 1: Same same and even last week's scavenger Hunt or whatever

350
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 1: that was, I don't understand I mean, I don't understand

351
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: Katie's thing with Hunter. I don't get I mean, like

352
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: it seems like he you know, she looked at pictures

353
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 1: of him with with his kids and she was like,

354
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 1: oh my god, like there's such a light around you,

355
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,199
Speaker 1: like you look like a whole different person. But like,

356
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: I don't feel any chemistry there for her to give

357
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: him the group date. Rose is interesting. How do you

358
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: how did you deal with group date Roses, because like,

359
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: obviously we know that the same person is not going

360
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: to get it every single week. You know, it's it's

361
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: at all an alternating thing. You know. They were talking

362
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: about how important that group date was and how it

363
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 1: was like a first impression Rose. I'm like, no, one isn't, guys,

364
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 1: it's whoever stood out this week, who didn't stand out

365
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 1: the week before. I'll give you a little secret, okay. Uh,

366
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: how I gave group group date Roses was this, Uh,

367
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: there was obviously an attraction. Um there was like it

368
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: wasn't just hey, I'm gonna give this to this person

369
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 1: for no reason, but there was a little strategy to

370
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: it because I wanted One of my biggest fears was

371
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 1: that everybody would leave at some point because they just

372
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,199
Speaker 1: felt like, oh, this isn't worth it for me anymore.

373
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: Like he's not into it, he's gone, So I tried

374
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: to spread him out. Yeah, that's a better way to

375
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: say it. Yes, not Roses. That mean they mean something,

376
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: for sure, I think. But I think it's more like

377
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: you stood out to me today type of rather than

378
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: like a you stand out to me amongst the crowd

379
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: all the time, Rose, I would not look too far.

380
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: If I'm a viewer, I'm not watching this going he

381
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: got the group day Rose. That means he's like top three.

382
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: It's just saying, hey, this week, she knows she wants

383
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 1: to know a little bit more about him, so he

384
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: can be around next week. Like there's not a question

385
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 1: that she wants him here and and so I'm gonna

386
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: give this to him just so like he knows that.

387
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: Like I'm still into it. Like that that's all I

388
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: see in it. There's not there is not at all

389
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: the first impression Rose type weight to it. And uh,

390
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: but I will say on Caitlyns season, when I got

391
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: a group, they rose and I can't remember how many, God,

392
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: I think maybe two. Uh, it's a good feeling like

393
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 1: it definitely like energizes you. It gives you a little confidence,

394
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: it validates kind of what you're feeling and thinking. And

395
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: so I think they're impactful. I just don't think they're

396
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: extremely meaningful. Well, actually, I want to hear your thoughts

397
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,479
Speaker 1: because I know you're You and I both are big

398
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 1: fans of Michael uh and we're both fans of of

399
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: Katie and Michael's relationship. Well, Michael's moment with Katie on

400
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: this group date is is something spectacular. I mean, when

401
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 1: she she's caring for him, but the comment that he

402
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: makes such a smooth line. I don't see him as

403
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 1: a smooth dude, but such a smooth line like can

404
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: I kiss you? And and she comes back with an

405
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: incredible response, you can kiss me anytime. You give me

406
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 1: all you want, all you want, you can kiss me

407
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: all you want. I mean, what a moment, What a

408
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: moment for their relationship. It's so cute. Who would have thought.

409
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: I didn't think at all. The first week. I was like,

410
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: now it's a little nerd, that's why we love him.

411
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: But that was that was a big moment for me.

412
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 1: I was like, this guy is definitely up there, like

413
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: he's not I mean I've always known he's top three,

414
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 1: but like this could be something special, Like she is

415
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: into it, he's getting more study as time goes on,

416
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: to like he's getting hotter. Isn't that weird how that happens?

417
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: We just talked about like first impression roses kind of

418
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,479
Speaker 1: fade or first impressions like kind of disappear, uh for

419
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: whatever reason. But the one that kind of sneaks up

420
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: on you and the first couple of weeks like I

421
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 1: don't really notice him, and then all of a sudden,

422
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: like or her, and you're like, oh my gosh, like

423
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: they're like they are something. It's kind of Michael story.

424
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 1: I know. Another thing just to mention about, Well, I

425
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 1: guess it is a group date. Aaron is so annoying.

426
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: Is he getting there for you? Yes? Every week he's

427
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: like I don't like that guy. Something about that guy.

428
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: I don't like that guy. It's like you have said

429
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 1: that about five different people and you change it and

430
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 1: you have a different person you don't like every single week.

431
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: That's all I have to say about that. All right. Um,

432
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 1: as far as the group date, Oh Greg, we gotta

433
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 1: talk about Greg. I guess um, Greg's like I'm gonna

434
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: after seeing Michael and like and Michael talking about how

435
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 1: each moment of your life, like it is so precious

436
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 1: and you can't waste any time. He's like, Okay, I'm

437
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: really gonna step it up with Katie tonight. I don't

438
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 1: know that he really steps it up, but she tells

439
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: him that he looks like a little lost puppy dog

440
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:56,959
Speaker 1: and has like a resting sad face, and Greg just

441
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: says that, you know, he just like he's just so

442
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: crazy about her, um, and he's going to keep waiting

443
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: because she's worth it. Um. And Katie said that one

444
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 1: of her biggest fears is that Greg would want to leave.

445
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: So I wonder if it's a little foreshadowing because we've

446
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 1: seen the super tease that somebody leaves. UM. My actual

447
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 1: gut instinct is that it's Michael, because we see him

448
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,919
Speaker 1: on face time with this kid and he's like the

449
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 1: kid says the saddest thing, something like sometimes I think

450
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,439
Speaker 1: you don't like want to see me anymore or something

451
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 1: like that. UM, But I guess I possibly it could

452
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: be Greg also um leaving. I don't know, it's yeah,

453
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 1: it's somebody big, Like somebody big makes that move. Out

454
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,880
Speaker 1: in it. I think a lot of what we're seeing

455
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,880
Speaker 1: the teases come from that moment where she's like I'm done,

456
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 1: Like this doesn't feel worth it, this isn't you know? Yeah,

457
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 1: I get has to come from there. Well, actually before

458
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: we move on here. Uh, there's two people that I'm

459
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: surprised we don't know more. I'm not shocked about one.

460
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 1: James is one of these people that James exactly the

461
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,479
Speaker 1: guy in the box. I thought we would see more

462
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 1: of him, but we don't know a lot about him.

463
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 1: The second one, though, is one that I really thought

464
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: was going to be a standout this season. And I'm

465
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: a little bit sad and that we haven't learned more

466
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 1: about him. I think we learned some, but it's Courtney

467
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,400
Speaker 1: with a cue. We don't know a lot about Courtney yet,

468
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: and I feel he's gone now exactly. And that's shocking

469
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: because he he, like Week one was I believe, like

470
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 1: one of our favorites. Like what happens. He's cool, he's

471
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,439
Speaker 1: got a cool, suave vibe. Um. I do think that

472
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: he got a little bit into the drama. Um. But

473
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 1: other than that, like, I just think there was like

474
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,199
Speaker 1: a lack of chemistry there and who was the other

475
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 1: person you said, James James. James's hair is too slicked. Yeah,

476
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: if he had some like if his hair is a

477
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 1: little less hard, I would think he'd be getting more

478
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: screen time. Yeah, I haven't washed my hair, and I

479
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 1: don't know over a week at this point. Um, I've

480
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: been on the lake. I want to see James in

481
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,880
Speaker 1: the lake like. I want to see him a week

482
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: without washing his hair, no slick back like hat on,

483
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: and just see see how the vibe changes. Yeah, I agree.

484
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 1: I think I really like him. I think he's cool.

485
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 1: I just I think that he looks like a little

486
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: bit too swaved up too too often. I don't know

487
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: if that's Katie style either. She kind of exactly. No,

488
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 1: she likes a blake. She likes a guy who looks

489
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 1: like he's like working in the National Park. That's right,

490
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 1: good for her. Well, hey, we have a second one

491
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: on one, but before we get there, let's take another break.

492
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 1: We come back or to break down the second one

493
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 1: on one of this episode. It's something special. We got

494
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,640
Speaker 1: to talk about it, and we're back with almost from

495
00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: his podcast. All right, Hey, Ben, do you know what

496
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: really stressed me out about this date? So what I

497
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: always like this moment, what is it? It started when

498
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: it was dark, and that always freaks me out because

499
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: that means they're going to be up to like four

500
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: in the morning. I mean, come on, I mean, how

501
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:29,640
Speaker 1: many people out there would enjoy dating at starting at

502
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: like what? I mean? How to be probably? I mean this, yeah,

503
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: nine or ten o'clock, like when the sun went down

504
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: it was dark, and knowing that the dates like one

505
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: on ones on the Bachelor, like non Bachelor Paradise, but

506
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: on the Bachelor Bachelor I like always last at least

507
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 1: six hours. So that means, like at nine, you're starting

508
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: something that you know is going to last six hours

509
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: and you have to be totally on and your very

510
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: best self, and you like they walked into that dinner portion.

511
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,080
Speaker 1: I'm not even kidding you. It must have been two

512
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: I am. I mean just rough, just rough. This is

513
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:10,199
Speaker 1: why this is a show for young people. Okay, so

514
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 1: what do you think. Where's Andrew and Katie's chemistry at um?

515
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 1: I think that she really likes I feel like there's

516
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 1: not a lot of chemistry. I'll say that I think

517
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 1: she really likes him, but I don't know if there's

518
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: like a magic factor here. I like the date. This

519
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: is a kind of date that you all know that

520
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: I like because you know, there's envelopes that have fun

521
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: little questions, you get a little get to know little

522
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 1: nuances about the person, and then they like smash the

523
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 1: hearts and there was like deeper conversation topics. I love

524
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:43,239
Speaker 1: that stuff because The Bachelor, like we said it is

525
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 1: a zillion times on this podcast in the past four years.

526
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: But like when you're sitting there and it's like dead silent,

527
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: like you have no background music, no background speaking, it's

528
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: not like a regular date, it can be like really

529
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:58,959
Speaker 1: hard to just like grab conversation topics and for not

530
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: to seem super and um. So I think that when

531
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: they give them little envelopes like this, it really helps

532
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: ease things. And again we get to know more about

533
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: the contestant and their their chemistry. I just don't I

534
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: just don't know whether like there's like this hotness between

535
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: them that like she had obviously with Blake on that

536
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: one on one. Yeah, but here's the thing that we

537
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 1: have to bring up. But I like Andrew a lot. Well,

538
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: we like Andrew and he's he's a great like from

539
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: what we watch and tell me he's a great dude.

540
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: And typically this is the week or next week that

541
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: we see the one on one of somebody who goes

542
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 1: either really far or ends up with her with him

543
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: or her at the end. I mean four and five, Yeah,

544
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: this is the first one on one like that's I mean,

545
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 1: they usually save kind of the favorite right for that

546
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: like ending storyline where all of a sudden Week four

547
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: and five they erupt and kind of finished strong and

548
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: we get really invested in their story. But here's what

549
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: I'll say is, I was thinking this is going to

550
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 1: happen with Andrew this week, and I didn't feel like

551
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 1: it erupted. Like I don't feel like there's storyline is

552
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: one that I'm like super involved in. I was expecting

553
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: them more of a chemistry than what I felt I saw.

554
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 1: Does that make sense, Yes, he's the guy heat to

555
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 1: me in my head, he's the top four guy who

556
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: gets really far because he makes a lot of sense.

557
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: They have a lot of similarities, especially with their parents.

558
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 1: You know, they both come from like their parents both

559
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: didn't have the happiest of marriages. Andrew talks a lot

560
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 1: about how his dad wasn't that present and he wants

561
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 1: to be the exact opposite of that when he's older,

562
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: which I think is you know, every girl loves hearing

563
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: about how the guy projects to be a father one day,

564
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: right and the so yeah, Like I think there's like

565
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: a lot of similarities in the way of that, in

566
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: their background, in the way that they see their futures.

567
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: I just think that he's like the top four guy

568
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: that like she wants to just love so much, but

569
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: like the passion isn't there as it is with a

570
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: couple others. We'll see, maybe I'm reading too much into it.

571
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: Who knows, you might not be. And I mean we

572
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: do see some really good conversations come out of this

573
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 1: where they aren't afraid to dive deep and they aren't

574
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: afraid to laugh. But they also do start to have

575
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: conversations for the future. Uh you know, Andrew shares about

576
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: his concerns because in the past relationships, somebody said they

577
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: were concerned about having uh A mixed children and Katie,

578
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: and Katie sits there with that and supports and here's

579
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 1: and so you do see these conversations happening where they

580
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: are talking about like what does the future look like?

581
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: And you know, where what could we become if this

582
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,479
Speaker 1: was us at the end. And so as much as

583
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: we're not feeling maybe the chemistry, what I am seeing

584
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: is they've had throughout this whole process some of the

585
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: most important conversations. Uh, that can prep him for the future.

586
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: So maybe we shall see, we shall see. There's that

587
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 1: one clip at the end of the Supertees that they

588
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: used multiple times where she she yells Andrew and then

589
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 1: she runs into his arms as if he was departing,

590
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 1: and then she just had to say one last goodbye. Again,

591
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: maybe I'm over analyzing. It's always the most fun of

592
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: this anyways. Shall we speak about the rose ceremony? Yeah,

593
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: this is, uh, this is the rose ceremony that I

594
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: always say. Week four, week five is when I started

595
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: get invested in the show again. And I'm back now

596
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: because we're starting to get rid of a couple more

597
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: guys that we haven't gotten the note too well, and

598
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 1: that haven't been a huge part of the storyline. But

599
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: the rose ceremony just did it start with the rose

600
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: being passed out? It started with Katie's entrance into the evening. Yeah,

601
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: and she looked awesome, that red dress with like the chains.

602
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: I think all the guys were very into that. I

603
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: think the biggest storyline here was the Hunter pulls Katie

604
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: aside for chat even though he has a rose, which

605
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 1: we see this all the time. When I was in

606
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: the house, I wasn't sure how I feel about it.

607
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 1: I still kind of torn about it. I still feel

608
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: like this is the kind of process where you have

609
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: to take advantage of all the time that you can get.

610
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,479
Speaker 1: Do you are you supposed to look out for others?

611
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: I don't really know, um. But then and at the

612
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:33,959
Speaker 1: same time, while I say that, I do feel like

613
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 1: those people who have roses going to the rose ceremony

614
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 1: should at least give like the more time, um and

615
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: the earlier time slots to people who don't who don't

616
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: have one. What do you think I mean? I'm it

617
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: doesn't really bother me either way. Yeah, me neither. I

618
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: don't have like strong feelings, but like I could see

619
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: both sides. But actually tell me this, listeners, tell me this,

620
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: At what point in any season that you've watched in

621
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: the twenty years that this show has been going that

622
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 1: when there is the take too much time guy or girl,

623
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: it's ever ended well for them? Like, it's not like

624
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 1: that is the start of a storyline for Hunter that

625
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 1: will just continue to get worse, I think the next

626
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: few weeks. And the reason I say that, the reason

627
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: I I hint to that, is because I cannot remember

628
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: one man or one woman on this show who has

629
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: been hey, I have a Rose, but I'm going to

630
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 1: take more time than necessary and it's ended well for

631
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 1: them long term. It's a good point. That's a really

632
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: good point. Uh Yeah, Like he brings her over to

633
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 1: the telescope and then he also wants to have like

634
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 1: couch time with her, And even though he's had the

635
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: telescope time and the couch time, he still tells James

636
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: to back away. And I'm like, no, it would have

637
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: been way more attractive if you're like, yeah, dude, you

638
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,760
Speaker 1: go go for it. And does Katie seem that into

639
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 1: it at this point, She's not that into it. She

640
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 1: thinks she wanted to talk to James because she even

641
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 1: said like, I appreciate you trying to come over and

642
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 1: grab me. Yeah. So at this point, I feel like,

643
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: as a viewer, I'm watching this going hilt and think

644
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: Katie is even if she gave the group date Rose,

645
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 1: I think she's starting to feel like wait, there's something. Yeah.

646
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 1: She even said you have a rose, so you should

647
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: feel good. Like, give me a break here. I have

648
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 1: a lot of people to meet, and as much as

649
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 1: I love spending time with you, I also really like

650
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 1: spending time with the others. So Hunter back off? Yeah yeah, yeah?

651
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 1: So who gets who gets eliminated in this episode? The

652
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: guys who don't get a rose of this episode is Courtney, Josh,

653
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 1: and Andrew m So like, I I know who Andrew,

654
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: I know who Josh and Andrew m r um, and

655
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: of course I know who Courtney is. But none of

656
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 1: them really played a huge role. And I think that

657
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 1: they were the obvious cuts this week. Yeah, and I

658
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: feel like James is definitely a cut next week. I

659
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: have a feeling that Hunter will be a cut next week. Uh, Aaron,

660
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 1: I think will be gone. Who's Who's Iceman? I say

661
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 1: Iceman because we watched Top Gun this weekend? Um, who's

662
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,280
Speaker 1: the guy who looks like Val Kilmer in the eighties?

663
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 1: I don't know Brendan, Yeah, Brendan, come on, Ben, please look,

664
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 1: I'm just sending you this picture of this guy, and

665
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 1: don't tell me that he doesn't look like he wants

666
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 1: to beat Tom Cruise in the air. I see it now. Yeah,

667
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: and he's still around somehow. Yeah, that guy's gone to

668
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: there's no way he sticks. I mean, like we haven't

669
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:44,359
Speaker 1: heard anything from him. Yeah. The sad part is I'm

670
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: invested in this season and I when you said the

671
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:48,920
Speaker 1: name Brendan, I was like, I don't. I don't know

672
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 1: who you're talking about. And that's it's not a good sign.

673
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 1: Not because I'm an expert, but just because you think

674
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,879
Speaker 1: we would know by now. Well, Ashley, before we move

675
00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: on to the hot topics of the week, Uh so

676
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 1: far A to F, how are you grading Katie's performance

677
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 1: as a bachelorette? I think I give her an A

678
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 1: What about this season A to F? I feel like

679
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 1: it's an A A minus. I still am very much

680
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 1: enjoying it. It's one of the very few It's like,

681
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: I have not looked at my phone. I've not been distracted.

682
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 1: I've been excited to watch episodes. I like the depth.

683
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,319
Speaker 1: I like all the personalities we're getting to know. And

684
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 1: we're through hump week now, so now we start going down,

685
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 1: like into the more like intimate storylines. They're the people

686
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 1: you know, we have hometowns coming up. We have fantasy

687
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 1: suits coming up, we have some we have the engagement

688
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: episode coming up. We this is starting to get like

689
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,800
Speaker 1: to the like heart of the season, and I'm pumped

690
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 1: for it. I'm in I think Katie's in a. I

691
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 1: think the seasons in a. I've really enjoyed it and uh,

692
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 1: and it's been good. But like I said, before we

693
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 1: start talking about hot topics, we do have something really

694
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 1: important to talk about, and that is a sneak peak

695
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 1: of the rest of the season that we get after

696
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:07,399
Speaker 1: this episode. And actually, I know we can over analyze these,

697
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 1: I know we can look too far into him, but

698
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 1: this sneak peak gave me a lot of anxiety. It

699
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 1: makes me feel like things are not going to go

700
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:17,760
Speaker 1: well or easy from here on out. I know. Wait,

701
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 1: I'm looking at our notes for the sneak peak, and

702
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 1: there's a couple of things that I didn't even pick

703
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: up on. Apparently Blake tells Katie he's not in love

704
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:31,320
Speaker 1: right now. That's big um. Greg asked if he can leave.

705
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: I guess I misinterpreted that because when Greg said I

706
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 1: can I leave, I felt like he meant can I

707
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 1: leave the room or something right now, which would be

708
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,399
Speaker 1: just as weird. If I was like, hey, can I leave,

709
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 1: like right now? That's something we would so say. That's

710
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 1: like something you would say to the producer if you're

711
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,359
Speaker 1: like sitting around and you're like having like you know,

712
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: to do like group chat time, you're like, can I

713
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,240
Speaker 1: can I go? Now? Good point. I guess that's true.

714
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,359
Speaker 1: But so that could be taken out of context. Um,

715
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:05,399
Speaker 1: we do see more Justin that I think, uh, well,

716
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 1: we've seen thus far, Justin is your favorite with the

717
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: expressions I I think Justin is a highlight of the season.

718
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. He doesn't say a lot, but my

719
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:16,879
Speaker 1: own mind does he speak with his face? And then

720
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you're you're skipping over something super important. We

721
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,760
Speaker 1: believe in the sneak peak that we're we We witness

722
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 1: Katie telling Mike P that the words I love you silly.

723
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,359
Speaker 1: That's so silly. That's not to Mike P. Like, there's

724
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: no way you don't think that's Mike P. No, I

725
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:40,400
Speaker 1: think that's totally to somebody else. I took it as

726
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: Mike P. They make it look like that. I don't know, Ash.

727
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot going on here. It's gonna

728
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 1: be a fantastic end of the season, and we're going

729
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 1: to continue to break down every episode as this season continues. Then, yeah,

730
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: we have to talk about who the last. But she

731
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: said that you're the last person I ever expected to

732
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 1: show up at my door. Um, who's that? I have

733
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 1: no clue. I think that's a guy from home. They

734
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,399
Speaker 1: always hint at that, and it never it never ends

735
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: up being anything. Like every season when I was the Bachelor,

736
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 1: they were hinting that, like some ex boyfriend was going

737
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: to show up, like multiple times, and he kind of

738
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 1: showed up a little bit, but I never met him. Like,

739
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:22,760
Speaker 1: I don't know, what what do you say if somebody

740
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: from your past shows up, You're I mean, I would

741
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:29,879
Speaker 1: think at that point you you've kind of moved on. Yeah,

742
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. It doesn't really excite me as much

743
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 1: as like the people were getting to know. I would

744
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: be shocked if any outsider comes into a season like

745
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 1: this and makes that big of a disruption. But it

746
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 1: is gonna be a good into the season, There's no

747
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 1: doubt about it. Hey, let's take a break. We have

748
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,399
Speaker 1: hot topics talk about, and there's a there's a few

749
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:51,880
Speaker 1: of them here. Uh, we'll back with almost from his

750
00:40:51,960 --> 00:41:05,360
Speaker 1: podcast It's Time for Bachelor headlines of this week, A

751
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 1: lot of them are focused around Katie season and the

752
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: contestants on this season and Katie our Bachelorette. But to

753
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: start out the Bachelorettes, Blake Moyne's reveals what he said

754
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 1: in his initial d M to Katie Thurston. You guys,

755
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: there are so many F bombs in these quotes that like,

756
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous. Uh, he goes, she came out of that

757
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 1: limo on Matt season with that vibrator, and I was like, yeah,

758
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:37,399
Speaker 1: I like what she's about. But it's not the fact

759
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 1: that she had an effing vibrator. That's not what I

760
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,240
Speaker 1: was like, Oh yeah, that's my girl. It's the fact

761
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 1: that she had the balls to have fun with it

762
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 1: and go with the flow. It was really a simple

763
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 1: reach out as far as the d M goes. It

764
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:57,840
Speaker 1: wasn't um, it wasn't like, hey, I'm into you know.

765
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: It was like, I effing love that you did that.

766
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 1: That was effing awesome. Good for you. And apparently he

767
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:12,280
Speaker 1: felt very comfortable right away as soon as he showed

768
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,240
Speaker 1: up on the season. And speaking of F bombs, he said,

769
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: seeing what Katie was like in person and knowing that

770
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:22,399
Speaker 1: we are very similar, I wasn't too nervous to say

771
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 1: f bombs and be a little raunchy and things like that. Yeah,

772
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 1: well it's romantic to say the least. Um. Yeah, just

773
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 1: like I don't know. I didn't like that whole quote series.

774
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:41,360
Speaker 1: I was just like, you're yeah, yeah, not by romantic.

775
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 1: Yeah there you go. Well, uh, big story this week

776
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 1: in Bachelor Nation about Bachelor contestants applying for the p

777
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 1: p P loan, the paycheck Protection program. This was on

778
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: TMZ released I think this article and actually I got

779
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 1: to miss him. I have very mixed feelings about this.

780
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 1: Uh well, so just in in all honesty, and I

781
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 1: was kind of waiting for it to come out. You know,

782
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 1: I applied for a p p P loan. That's so

783
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 1: interesting that you're being so honest because our accountant was like,

784
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 1: do you guys want to do this? Well, you have

785
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:18,799
Speaker 1: to think and I'm not saying this is where I

786
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 1: come into this whole conversation with very little judgment because

787
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: I don't know any of these Bachelor or Bachelor people's

788
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 1: financials or what they're doing with their lives. But you've

789
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 1: got to think I mean for me personally, I have

790
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 1: three restaurants, all of which opened up within a year

791
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: before the pandemic, and two coffee shops. So one of

792
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 1: my coffee shops completely shut, like I closed the doors

793
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 1: on it. A huge loss to me personally into the company.

794
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:51,840
Speaker 1: We couldn't keep it open, and we you know, eight

795
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 1: employees of ours no longer had a barista job because

796
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:58,320
Speaker 1: of this, And so I applied for a p p

797
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 1: P loan because this we had to like in order

798
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 1: to keep our other coffee shop open and the restaurants open.

799
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 1: We had like that's why what they're for. And so

800
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 1: I think there was a little bit of um. I

801
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 1: just don't think it was fair to like call everybody

802
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:15,400
Speaker 1: out and be like, there's no way you should have

803
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 1: been doing this because you don't make a lot of

804
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: money being the bachelor or bachelor and you make a

805
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:23,240
Speaker 1: good salary. I'm not saying it's a bad one. But

806
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 1: then if you do have like restaurants and you're invested

807
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 1: in the hospitality, and the pandemic hits and everything closes

808
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: for three months and you're trying to keep your employees,

809
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 1: uh like having a job. You had to apply because

810
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:43,800
Speaker 1: everything you were like was a financially and like awful

811
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 1: year for me. Um, Like everything was going like slipping away.

812
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:50,320
Speaker 1: Every everything I had ever put my money into or

813
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 1: my time into felt like it was disappearing. And so

814
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: I just I'm cautious to overreact to this story because

815
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 1: I know my situation. So you apply for when did

816
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 1: you get on? I did? I did, And I mean

817
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:07,319
Speaker 1: we went through we went through the steps. I mean,

818
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:09,799
Speaker 1: it wasn't hard to do when you show, hey, this

819
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:12,840
Speaker 1: is what's happening to me this year and we have

820
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 1: three employees and all of our businesses are closed. Like,

821
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 1: it didn't it didn't feel I mean it was morally

822
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 1: it felt like, yeah that you have to do this,

823
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 1: like you have to get something because I can't imagine

824
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 1: closing too generous coffee shops in the course of uh

825
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 1: due this pandemically we had to get help. Yeah, I

826
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:38,840
Speaker 1: completely I completely agree with your feelings on it. Um.

827
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 1: We saw that it was Colton, Tassia, Dale, Ari, and Lauren.

828
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:47,319
Speaker 1: They were the names that like were released last week,

829
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 1: which I don't know. I just I do feel like

830
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:52,479
Speaker 1: it's just like kind of weird to like talk about

831
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:57,440
Speaker 1: people's money decisions. Um, but Colton and Tasha both have

832
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:01,879
Speaker 1: you know, Tasia was hiring an employee, use the money

833
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 1: to pay for an employee that was unemployed before her,

834
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 1: and then Colton has hissistic fibrosis foundation and the funds

835
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:15,920
Speaker 1: went there. You just gotta be you know, I think

836
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:18,239
Speaker 1: there's a lot to this. Now. I don't know everybody. Again,

837
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 1: I don't know why everybody decided to do this, but

838
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:24,320
Speaker 1: the p PP was meant to support and keep small

839
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 1: businesses specifically alive, and keep employees working and having some

840
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 1: type of salary during this time. If that's why these

841
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:38,880
Speaker 1: contestants did it for that reason, then that they followed

842
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 1: you know, what it was meant to do. Now, if

843
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 1: they're doing it for personal gains, then that's a different question,

844
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:46,400
Speaker 1: right in a different conversation. But I just don't know that,

845
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:49,720
Speaker 1: and I don't think there's enough evidence in the story

846
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:53,439
Speaker 1: specifically to really point out why they did what they did.

847
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:56,920
Speaker 1: I know people are assuming things, and maybe some of

848
00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 1: the assumptions will be right, but I mean I was

849
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 1: kind of way eating. I was like, you know, what,

850
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 1: is my name gonna get thrown in here? And then

851
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:05,319
Speaker 1: it's gonna be one more thing that like I'm just

852
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 1: like kind of sad about and I'm like, I don't

853
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 1: know what else we could have done, Like, I don't

854
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:12,480
Speaker 1: know what I mean, yours was all about business, Like

855
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 1: yours was done in a business name, and you have

856
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:19,319
Speaker 1: so many employees. Yeah, we are accountant asked if we

857
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 1: want to do it, Jared and I are like, I

858
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 1: think we're good right now. But you know, I think

859
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:28,359
Speaker 1: for each individual circumstance it's different. Good for you, I mean,

860
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 1: that's uh, you gotta think through those. But that story

861
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 1: did come out. It spread everywhere, and I know there's

862
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:35,279
Speaker 1: a lot of like uh and and again some of

863
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:37,320
Speaker 1: these people might have been doing it for the wrong reasons,

864
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:41,719
Speaker 1: but um, there we go. Well, Uh, Colton Underwood comes

865
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 1: out with a nude photo shoot this week, Ashley, what

866
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:51,479
Speaker 1: was it about and what was going on? Um, it's

867
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:53,719
Speaker 1: not like I don't know how to just like basically

868
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 1: like the photo shoot. If you want to know more

869
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:58,839
Speaker 1: about it, go look at the pictures. They are very

870
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:03,279
Speaker 1: easily found. You can see him he got he's got

871
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 1: nothing on and he's got a leather jacket hide in

872
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 1: his bare crotch and he's showing off his abs. He's

873
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 1: gotten ear piercing. Um. There's even one where he's like

874
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 1: taking a drag from a cigar and winking seductively at

875
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:22,759
Speaker 1: the camera. I smoke a lot of cigars naked. Yeah,

876
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 1: Well now I feel like you do smoke cigars shirtless

877
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:29,600
Speaker 1: a lot shirtless. Yeah, but it feels dangerous for other reasons.

878
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:35,640
Speaker 1: Ashes are just flying everywhere. Um, anyway, you can definitely

879
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 1: tell that it was like this is like Colton's like

880
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have fun. Uh, just just like a part
