Speaker 1: feel very special because I get to be your co

9
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: host this time. Um, at least for a while. I

10
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: hear a rumor that Ashley jumped on a plane to

11
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: fly back because she had to be in studio with you.

12
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: She could not be away from you for too much longer.

13
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: It's pretty lonely in here without her, so uh yeah, Um, well, Dean,

14
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 1: thanks for joining us. Man. We had a crazy Bachelor

15
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,639
Speaker 1: in Paradise premiere last night, and it's good that you're

16
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: around because I feel like if anybody would know what

17
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: went down, it could be somebody that was there. Um, Dean,

18
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: let's just want to jump into it, and here you're

19
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: kind of recap of last night. Uh. I guess I

20
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: just want to hear your recap. I guess of the

21
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: premier episode of Bachelor and Paradise. Um, I liked it.

22
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: I thought that it encompassed the early relationships pretty well.

23
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: And obviously there's a lot of drama around the whole

24
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,639
Speaker 1: Cranda Mario thing, and they showed a lot of footage

25
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: from that, so, um, you know, I thought I thought

26
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: overall it was a good episode. So that's I mean,

27
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: I guess that's been the hot topic, right, I mean,

28
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: everybody is talking about. Everybody has been talking about. It

29
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: made national news. Um. You know, outside of the actual

30
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: event that took place. From your perspective, while you were

31
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: there in Paradise and the cameras kind of went down,

32
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: what were you thinking, did you did you know what

33
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: was going on? Um? They didn't really give us much

34
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: information about what was going on. They just said that

35
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: there was an incident and then that we'd be they

36
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: would be delaying um um filming for the time being.

37
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: And we we pretty much went about our lives living

38
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: on the island there in Paradise for you know, the

39
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: next three days, UM doing what were you allowed to

40
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: talk to each other? Yeah, I mean, of course we're

41
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: basically we were hanging out normally, just without cameras. UM,

42
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: while they were figuring out what they wanted to do

43
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: about everything. Um So, I mean, so you were in

44
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: the same place that we're seeing on TV there. I

45
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: haven't been down there, so you're you're on that little

46
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: in that little well, I don't know how area thing,

47
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: and no cameras around, so you were literally living in

48
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: paradise with no pressure. Yeah, no pressure. And it was

49
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: interesting too because what we won't be able to see

50
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: is a lot of those relationships continue to grow while

51
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: the cameras were gone, right, So you know, there's gonna

52
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: be probably about a ten day period that we won't

53
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: see when we all come back for I don't know

54
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: if it's episode two or episode three or which one

55
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,679
Speaker 1: it is, but um, a lot of the relationships and

56
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 1: the friendships, romantic ones, what have it are going to

57
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: be much closer than they were before we left. I

58
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 1: mean that's I mean, that's a great thing to bring

59
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: up to to all the listeners. Then, so the fans

60
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: of Bachelor Paradise are gonna see the resuming of paradise

61
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: right where the cameras come back in and all of

62
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: you kind of gathered together again. And what the viewer

63
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: need to understand is that for three days, there were

64
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: no no stresses, no cameras, so people are just building

65
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: relationships and starting to talk to each other, maybe more

66
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: than they would if cameras were around. Well three days

67
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: three days there, and then I think it was maybe

68
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: like seven days when we were all basically flowing back

69
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: to our homes, um, and then eventually flowing back to Mexico.

70
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: So um, you know, there was basically a week ten

71
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: days where we're all essentially in a group chat talking

72
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: pretty much every single day, um, you know, obviously relying

73
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: on each other for support and updating with each other

74
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 1: if we hear anything. So um, it was a lot

75
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: of back and forth that pretty much all of the

76
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: cast members had with each other. So that's sort of interesting.

77
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: So you could really develop a relationship with somebody who

78
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: just met or a friendship during that off time. Yeah,

79
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: And it's it's so much more of a real life

80
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: scenario too. I mean, you know, obviously, when you're on

81
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: Paradise or the Bachelor Bachelorette, you don't really have the

82
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: opportunity to, um see how someone I guess acts when

83
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: you're not immediately in front of them. It's always just

84
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: face to face interaction. But this is more of like

85
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: a real world setting of this is how I act

86
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: with them, you know, when we're halfway across the country,

87
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: whatever it is. I mean, I guess, so how many

88
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: of these are relationships that we're going to see uh

89
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: coming up throughout the season? Really started to blossom, Um,

90
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: in this little period of time there there there are

91
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: quite a few of them. Um. I mean, I can't

92
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: put a specific number on it, but I would say

93
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: almost majority of them were influenced by it. I mean,

94
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: that's what a unique situation. I mean, I always kind

95
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: of feels as I'm thinking about this, that's not a

96
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: bad format for the show in general, right like bringing

97
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: the cameras, introduce everybody, you know, get everybody kind of comfortable,

98
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: then everybody leaves and give these people two or three

99
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 1: days just to kind of invest into each other without

100
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: any cameras around, and then we'll come back in and

101
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: kind of catch back up with their stories. Do you

102
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: think that's a good format? Maybe keeping the in the future.

103
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: It's definitely interesting. It's definitely the most unique, I guess

104
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: in situation in the Bachelor franchise up at least in

105
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: Paradise up until this point. So, um, I mean, it's

106
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: gonna be interesting to see what it plays out. I

107
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 1: guess it's kind of still early to make that judgment,

108
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: but it definitely definitely influenced things quite a bit. Mean,

109
00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: did you have a relationship continue throughout these couple of days? Yes,

110
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: I did, okay, because I mean I saw a little

111
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 1: meme of you sitting on the beach all alone, playing

112
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 1: with sand and and as somebody that I think you're

113
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: great and from everything I hear, which is a lot

114
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 1: from Ashley um I and I guess our producer Amy there, uh,

115
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: you seem like an awesome dude. And I was I

116
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: was looking at these memes and I was sad for

117
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: a second, thinking poor Dean, Uh just killing the beach

118
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: all alone. Now, No, I think the point that I

119
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 1: was hanging out by myself, I was like the only

120
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: guy on the island or on the beach, and there

121
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: was like four girls and they were having the girls time,

122
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: and I was like, I'm just gonna go play in

123
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: the stand for a little bit by myself. Um and like,

124
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: let I love that. You know one thing I want

125
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: to ask you about because you want people kind of forget.

126
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: But when I was on the Bachelor at I was

127
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: twenty five, um and everybody criticized me for being young. Right,

128
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: he's too young to do this. He's not really ready,

129
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: he's not interested, he's just doing this for for kicks

130
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: and giggles. And I knew, you know that wasn't the case.

131
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: I was ready, Um, to you and I can relate

132
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: on that level now. I'y eight, So you can see

133
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: how my to my my life has been consumed with

134
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: the Bachelor. Uh, and you better be careful because this

135
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: could be you soon. Um, but I want to I

136
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: want to hear your thoughts. So at twenty five, you're

137
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 1: sitting on the beach, were you ready to kind of

138
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: find a relationship in Paradise? Yeah? I wanted to to

139
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: be able jump in head first, and I mean, funny enough,

140
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: that is kind of what happened. So, Um, I think

141
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: that everyone that was there was was ready and willing

142
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: for that. It's just obviously happened for some people and

143
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: not so much for others. Yeah, I think you're right.

144
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's always good to kind of

145
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: protect yourself there and make sure people know, like you're

146
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: not doing this just for fun, because a lot of

147
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: this isn't just fun, right, I mean a lot of

148
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: it is is hard work. Uh, and it's a lot

149
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: of this downtime, it's a lot of playing in the sand.

150
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: And uh, it's good to know that you went there,

151
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: uh for the right reasons. Yeah. I mean, as much

152
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: as it kind of stinks to say, some of the

153
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: most stressful one with my life have happened over the

154
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: past four or five months when I've been filming the show.

155
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: So there are obviously a lot of fun moments that

156
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: have have taken place, both during and after. But it, um,

157
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: it's it's definitely a give and take. I want to

158
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: ask quickly about the shutdown. So what we saw on

159
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: the first episode was very dramatic, like they the girls

160
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: were like what's happening and like all that. So what

161
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: really happened, Like, if you could just describe for a minute,

162
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: was there a buzz? Did you know Karin and do

163
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: Mario had been pulled away? I mean what I know

164
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: is pretty much what everyone knows. I wasn't there for

165
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: any of the interactions between them, so I can't really

166
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: speculate too much. But um, I mean when the shutdown happened,

167
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: when they turned the cameras off, Karan and Tomorio were removed,

168
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: so it was basically all of the original cast members

169
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: of minus those two. And you know, of course we

170
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: could we could circulate rumors amongst the group, but none

171
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: of us really knew exactly what happened. Um. And that's

172
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: another thing too. You know, during the shutdown, some of

173
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: us spoke with Mario, some of us spoke with Krant,

174
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: and we got both sides of that story. And obviously

175
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: there's a lot of press about it. So, um, it's

176
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: nice to be able to see I guess it all

177
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: played back because this is my first time seeing with

178
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: my own eyes. Yeah. Do you do you think the

179
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: way you viewed it last night? Because there's a lot

180
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: of questions that I'm getting sent in through email from

181
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: from listeners. Do you feel like the way it was

182
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: shown last night was appropriate and kind of done similar

183
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: to how it really happened in real life, or where

184
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: there are things edited out, where the things over dramatized,

185
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: I mean, correct portrayal last night? Yeah, as far as

186
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: I observed, I think that they displayed it pretty well. Um. Again,

187
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if they're leaving anything out or add

188
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: anything extra, but from what I saw, it seemed to

189
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: be pretty harmless and um, yeah. I mean again, I'm

190
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: kind of in the same book as you guys in

191
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: terms of what I know from just from what I saw. Well,

192
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: that's it. I mean, that's that's I mean, that's totally fine.

193
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 1: That's an interesting respected that you were there, you're you're

194
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: a part of everything, and that you didn't in that field,

195
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: you didn't know. I mean, that wasn't affecting the every

196
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: moment of every day until really the shutdown, right, No,

197
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 1: not at all. And I think the night of the shutdown, um,

198
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: I was removed from the group as well. I think uh,

199
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: I pulled Christina aside and I guess noted how stressful

200
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 1: it must be for her, and so I gave her,

201
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: like like an hour long massage in the privacy of

202
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: like one of the cabanis bean beany man, Well, there's

203
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: a problem, Dean. You're you're kind of in a place

204
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: right now. Not a problem. I'm jealous. Honestly, you can

205
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: do no wrong. So you announcing to the public that

206
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: you just gave Christine an hour long massage because it

207
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: must have been stressful. It's about it. It's charming, and

208
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: every woman out there listening to this podcast, it is

209
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: just melting right now, because an idea of an hour

210
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: long Dean massage is a dream. I was doing it

211
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: for selfish reasons. I just wanted to get one back eventually.

212
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: And did that happen? Unfortunately? No, When everybody came down

213
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: the stairs, did she sort of? Was she the one

214
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: that you liked right away? I was definitely the most

215
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: struck by her beauty the first time she came down

216
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 1: the stairs. Um, I I think that she has a

217
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: really fun personality and that as time wore on that

218
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: first day, i'd be again to get to see that.

219
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,319
Speaker 1: Um it's funny too, because I was I was drinking

220
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: quite I mean not quite a bit, but I was

221
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 1: definitely like having fun with my friends. And then I

222
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: realized that she wasn't drinking very much. And when I

223
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 1: began to realize that her and I had a spark,

224
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, I need to tone it back,

225
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: keep drinking water and kind of like focusing on this.

226
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: So you were, I mean, you're ready to sacrifice your

227
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: fun to kind of get to get the nok skin

228
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: a little better? Absolutely? Oh man, this is this is

229
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,599
Speaker 1: gonna be a fun storyline to see played out the

230
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: whole season. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna really pressure

231
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 1: you to answer, because I want to watch as a

232
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 1: fan and as a friend and kind of see where

233
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: this goes. And I honestly don't know, but I could

234
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: tell after last night episode there was something there that

235
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 1: was special, um, not just for you, but with a

236
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: couple of the couples there. And and I just on

237
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: a scale of one to ten, how much love was

238
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: there in Paradise this year compared to the previous seasons.

239
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 1: I guess it's the only way we can only do it.

240
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: I would say maybe like a seven. UM, I will

241
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: say last there's a lot of love last season, and

242
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: that's the only season I watched, so it's it's it's

243
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: basically the only one I'm comparing it to. UM, but

244
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: I think I think the last season had a little

245
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: bit more love than this one. Well yeah, and this

246
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: and this is kind of something I want to start

247
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: UM talking about at the beginning of this podcast, considering

248
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: this is season one of Bachelor in Paradise, almost famous

249
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: episode one. So the shutdown happened, the filming schedule or

250
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: the amount of time that you're on the island is shortened.

251
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: Did that negatively affect anything or did it Did it

252
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: affect the relationships at all? Or do you feel like

253
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: people just kind of got right back up and going

254
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: waits the shutdown? You mean yeah, after the shutdown, filming

255
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: was kind of condensed, right, I mean, you're pretty rusty,

256
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: You're only there a few more weeks. Do you think

257
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: that affected situation? The situation? Yeah, I see what you're saying.

258
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: So so maybe the shutdown kind of eliminated a few

259
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,839
Speaker 1: row ceremonies, obviously limited a few days that we could

260
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: spend with each other, and people were probably trying to

261
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: expedite their relationships a little bit more than they would

262
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: be otherwise. Um, it definitely, it definitely changed things. And

263
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: again I don't have anything to compare it to, but

264
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: you could definitely feel the tension in the air, maybe

265
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 1: among the people that were less solidified in the relationships

266
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: that they felt like the time was dwindling down and

267
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: they had to, um, you know, make some moves. Yeah, yeah,

268
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: I mean so, I guess I'm watching the preview Dean,

269
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: and I'm a little bit of a pessimist because I

270
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: live in I've lived in this world for a while,

271
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: and I get asked the question all the time. How

272
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: can somebody fall in love and such a short period

273
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: of time? And I can say, well, and I know

274
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: from experience, it can happen. I I don't know the

275
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: psychology around I don't know the science around it, but

276
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: it can happen, right, Um. And I'm watching the preview

277
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 1: for Paradise this year and there are a lot of tears.

278
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 1: And I was honestly surprised because I expected this to

279
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: be just more of a all fun and games. Everybody

280
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 1: goes has a good time, you know, spence time on

281
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: the beach, and they get back and they come back

282
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: to the real world and if they want to pursue relationship,

283
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: they do. But it seems emotional. I mean, this season

284
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: is going to be emotional, isn't it. Well, I mean

285
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 1: I would expecting that too. I was expecting to go

286
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: to the beach and have fun with my friends. Maybe

287
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: um you know, obviously me a cool girl. But I'm

288
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: not sure if you notice in that preview I was

289
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: sobbing kind of a lot. Um yeah, um so so yeah.

290
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: I mean, as you as you're well aware, you know

291
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 1: you you develop feelings much quicker sometimes than you ever

292
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,719
Speaker 1: expect to. And um, when things don't necessarily go the

293
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: way that you want them to. Uh, it's it can

294
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: be pretty upsetting. Yeah, I mean what I guess what

295
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,239
Speaker 1: is it? What is it about when your opinions Bachelor,

296
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: Bachelor in Paradix. That kind of um allows feelings to

297
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: be wide open like this, that allows feelings to happen

298
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: quicker than than the real world. Well, what do you

299
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: think I mean? Because obviously all you're really doing is,

300
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 1: you know, you're you're interviewing with people, talking about these

301
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 1: people constantly. Uh, there's no distractions that the real world

302
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: typically has for you. So I mean what do you think.

303
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: I think those are probably the main ones for me.

304
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,079
Speaker 1: You just kind of immerse yourself in this UM environment

305
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: and you allow yourself to be, you know, obviously fully

306
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: open and susceptible to the feelings that you have when

307
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 1: normally you have these these other distractions to kind of

308
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: allow to focus on something something else. Yeah, No, I

309
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 1: think I think you hit it spot on. I've a

310
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: I've always when I think about it, I've always said

311
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: it's the elimination of distractions, and so maybe it's a

312
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: good lesson for the real for real life is as

313
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: you pursue somebody or as you're trying to meet, um,

314
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: that person that you you could spend the rest of

315
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: your life with. It's important to try to eliminate as

316
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: many distractions as possible so that you can really focus

317
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: on their relationship. I think that's it. I mean, when

318
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: you're the bachelor, Bachelor at or when you're in Bachelor

319
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: in Paradise, you really only have one responsibility, and that's

320
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: not the fall in love. It's to pursue people at

321
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: the best of your ability and to see if there's

322
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: a connection. Um. And I think that's a really I mean,

323
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: that's what I've always said. It's a really good opportunity

324
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: for anybody to participate in, as long as it's done

325
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: well and with the right intention, um being. I don't know.

367
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,280

368
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: other enough that I don't need him taking your spot

369
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: here at my heart. Um, last night, I want to

370
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: tell all the listeners out there, last night we were Dean, Amy, Ashley, myself,

371
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: frant a text start during Paradise and uh, and it

372
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 1: kind of hit me that you know, I still I've

373
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 1: talked about this before. I closed my eyes during most

374
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 1: makeup makeout scenes because I get really, really just feeling awkward,

375
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 1: and and then this is a joke. And then the

376
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: only person that I watched was Dean's makeout scene because

377
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: I needed to get some pointers because actually talks so

378
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 1: highly of Dean, I figured he's just a good kiss um,

379
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: which which brings me to a listener email that we're

380
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: gonna fill in real you have to talk about it.

381
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: We have a listener email that we'll do listen to

382
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,919
Speaker 1: emails later as well, but this listener emails that asked

383
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 1: just pretty directly, Um, Dean, if Ashley I confessed her

384
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 1: love for you, would you be interested in like, does

385
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: that mean that I have confessed love of Fording in

386
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: other places? No? No, this is an email. Actually, we

387
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 1: can shut this down right now if with with an

388
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: answer here. But then it follows up with, um, have

389
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 1: you and Ashley I kissed before? Which I know the

390
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 1: answer this, but I think we should clear this up

391
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: before we get started the rest of the podcast. What

392
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: do you mean you the answer, you haven't kissed. I

393
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 1: don't think that would be a huge spoiler, so we're not.

394
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, no, things are getting crazy. Um, let's

395
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: move on. It. We're not gonna get an answer from

396
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 1: these two, so we're gonna talk about last next episode.

397
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: I have a couple of bullet points from our text

398
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 1: thread last night that I would like to talk about.

399
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start. I'm gonna start out there and throw

400
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 1: one out there at you. Robbie hair, let's talk about it.

401
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 1: It's it's perfectly manicured at all times. I didn't think

402
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: it was that bad at first when you guys were texting,

403
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: and then I started seeing it from different angles and

404
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, there's a piece of his hair

405
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: that is significantly longer than the rest of his hair,

406
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: and he just he brushes it back on that one side.

407
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: Do you think he's receiving more on one side? I

408
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,479
Speaker 1: can't really say much about it because I think my

409
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: hair looks really weird. Your hair looks beautiful. I busted

410
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: all of it off the other day, partly because I'm

411
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 1: mad at that, So, I mean, I can understand Robbie's

412
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 1: decision with what he's doing. Well, I need your advice

413
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 1: from perspective. How does that's my process of getting your

414
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,199
Speaker 1: hair to look like that? You think? Is it? Is

415
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: it natural? Is there like I mean, is there a

416
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: straight iron? Is it a lot of gel? How does

417
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: how does that happen? I don't think he uses anything

418
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: like that. I'm sure he uses a lot of gel

419
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:56,880
Speaker 1: to keep it in place, but I definitely don't think

420
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,479
Speaker 1: he needs a flat iron. I mean, I don't think.

421
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: Let's talk to Dean. Because Dean was in the bathroom

422
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: with him. You guys all share a bathroom. Did he

423
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: have any special tools so there were two separate rooms.

424
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: I did not room with Robbie. I cannot speak objectively

425
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:16,679
Speaker 1: about his hair products or hair grooming routine. Um. I

426
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: did laugh out loud at Daniel Maaltby's comment about the

427
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: flat iron last night because I started looking at it.

428
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, you could see him using a

429
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: flat iron. But I will say that I didn't see

430
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 1: any of those products or utensils in the bathrooms whenever

431
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 1: I was around. Would you have used them? If you

432
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 1: could have, bean, I mean you could learn a thing

433
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: or two. I could learn a lot. I mean, out

434
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 1: of interest, I'll try anything once if it could drastically

435
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 1: improve my hair. I don't see why not. Yeah, I mean,

436
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 1: Joe Jonas used to use a hair straightener all the

437
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: time and that was the peak of my obsession with him.

438
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 1: Uh well, if we could all be Joe Jonas, so

439
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 1: um rob Moving continue with the Robbie conversation, Bean, what

440
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 1: do you think of Robbie's apps? They're fantastic, They're pretty

441
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: something there something put all the shame the second you

442
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: walked onto that beach. I'm not like somebody who's like

443
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 1: really into abs or anything like. That's not going to

444
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: make or break a guy for me for sure. But

445
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 1: the thing about Robbie's abs are they're fascinating to look

446
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: at because they are actually a dolls abs Like they

447
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: don't look real like you know how Emma Stone says

448
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 1: that about Ryan Gosling and Crazy Stupid Love. She's like,

449
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: you look photos shop like when I look at Robbie,

450
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, that's actually photoshop. Ben. Do you have abbsy? No,

451
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: come on, I don't. I don't have apps either, So hey,

452
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: we're in the same boat. Girls love abs. I don't

453
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: really give a flying f do you know? You know?

454
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean that's good for us, but

455
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: why not. I don't really care. I mean, as long

456
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:45,479
Speaker 1: as you don't have a beer palley, as long as

457
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: you don't look fat, then you're good. I'm more into arms.

458
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: I think arms are sexy, yeah, or both of them,

459
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: to be honest, Um, I think there's something very sexy

460
00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: about a guy's four arms. I think it's an under

461
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 1: shaded part of them. Um, hands are a big thing.

462
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: And then but yeah, you're triceep. It's important because it

463
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: shows how easy it's going to be to pick us up.

464
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, that's true. I mean, we gotta keep

465
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: taking notes here. I mean that's one of the things

466
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: that I've been using. Uh actually, I for it on

467
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: this podcast is to get some good advice for me personally.

468
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: And so if it's about to b step to try

469
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,360
Speaker 1: step in the forearms, you better believe I'm hin the gym,

470
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: the Steffnue, not that I'm definitely taking notes right now. Yeah, No,

471
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: his arm looks really good. Just for all you ladies

472
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: out there wondering, I have a question that I think

473
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 1: a lot of guys probably struggle with on the show,

474
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: and I know I did, and it brings up a topic.

475
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 1: So you're on the beach, right and dude, you're you're

476
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 1: in shape, you look good, You're fine. But I'm not

477
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,239
Speaker 1: the most ripped man out there either. Um, do you

478
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 1: get self conscious being on this beach with a bunch

479
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 1: of people that are just absolutely jacked out of their mind? Um?

480
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: Kind of, but not really because so so there's no

481
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,239
Speaker 1: real like gym you could work out at, and a

482
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: lot of the guys like worked out every morning on

483
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: the beach, like lifting rocks and stuff. And I was

484
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: just like, you know what, I'm just gonna I'm just

485
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: gonna live my life. Those guys are literally insane. I

486
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: used to look at them. Nick used to do it,

487
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: a lot of the other guys used to do it,

488
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: and I used to look at them in awe because

489
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: part of it was their bodies look great. The other

490
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: part of it was like their dedication to working out

491
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 1: in the I don't know, it probably feel like it's

492
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: very hot and humid. Yeah, it's like, guys, just get

493
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: back into shape when you get home. I don't think

494
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 1: your muscles are going to disintegrate within sixteen days. That

495
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: that was my take on it. I was like, this

496
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: is my flabby body. You can take it for what

497
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 1: it is. If you love it, you love it. If

498
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: you hate it, you hate it. But here I'm just

499
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: like I'm here. I'm sitting here and really get kind

500
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: of in shock. I just don't understand why bodies are

501
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: that important to you. Guys. As long as you're healthy

502
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: and like you, you don't work out every day, you

503
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: look great. I don't any girl doesn't need more than this.

504
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 1: Considering what I eat on a daily basis, I'm incredibly lucky.

505
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: Me too. I mean, that's that's a good point. So

506
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 1: being fit is important on all of these series. I

507
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: think it's obvious, and our listeners love hearing the behind

508
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: the scenes of the show. And and I think one

509
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: thing that is not on often is is how much

510
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: like workouts are done with very little weight, to very

511
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: little tools, uh in the downtime. So, yeah, there's rock workouts,

512
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of squads going on, there's running up

513
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: and down the beach um so that everybody can look

514
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: their best for each other. And also because this will

515
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: be you know, viewed on national television. People, do you

516
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: know what I find? Wait, I kind of say this.

517
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: You know what I find way more attractive a guy

518
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 1: who's going to sit there and eat with me. There,

519
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 1: that's it. I'd much rather you eat with me than

520
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,959
Speaker 1: like work out. Actually, you're you're you're the best. Um.

521
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 1: One guy that is well, you know one guy that

522
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: is absolutely Jack because he was on my season. Uh

523
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,120
Speaker 1: I guess Caitlin season the Bachelor in the season as

524
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: a part of is Ben Doorn? And Ben Doorn last

525
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: night has this obsession with his dog. Right we're watching

526
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 1: this show and all he wants to talk about is

527
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: his dog Dean. Is this how it was going down

528
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: in real life? Like that? Is Jorn only talking about

529
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 1: his pup. He didn't only talk about Zeus, but his

530
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 1: dog is incredibly adorable. I don't know if you follow

531
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 1: him on social media or anything like that, but every

532
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 1: time he posted a picture of it, I'm all over it. Um. So,

533
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: I mean, he has every right to be obsessed with

534
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 1: this dog. He's he's a handsome little fellow. But um no,

535
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: I mean there were definitely obviously a lot more conversations

536
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 1: had that weren't necessarily about just the dog. Um. Ben's

537
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: a great guy. I was actually just with him this

538
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: past weekend up in San Francisco, So, um, we will

539
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: be seeing a lot of him. I was on I'm

540
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: on another texture to him, and I texted him last

541
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 1: night said, Hey, I just want to give you full warning,

542
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 1: like you're gonna get made fun of on the podcast

543
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: because the only thing you talked about was your dog

544
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: and I got to talk about that because I mean,

545
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,719
Speaker 1: Ben is a great guy. I love Ben. He's been

546
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: a good friend since since the season back. But how

547
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: season he was on Caitlin season he came in what

548
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 1: six seven? And you guys, if you didn't know how

549
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 1: highly edited his conversation with Raven was when he first

550
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: walked into Paradise, like you're an idiot, I'm sorry, it

551
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 1: was like they showed her face responding and then they

552
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: would clip right over to him, cut right over to him,

553
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:04,199
Speaker 1: and then he'd be talking about his dog and they

554
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: cut and cut. You have to look for for scenes

555
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: where you see it going from one face to another

556
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,360
Speaker 1: without a two shot. So explain to us who don't know.

557
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: What are you saying that they weren't really talking to

558
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: each other. You know, I'm saying, they totally we're talking

559
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: to each other, but her facial expression isn't matching what

560
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: he's saying. And if if some guy was talking to

561
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 1: me about his dog, I'd be like all in and

562
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: that would be a red flag. If the girl wasn't.

563
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: I will say that of mine and Ben's conversations at

564
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:33,439
Speaker 1: Paradise were concerning dogs, and I mean most of it

565
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 1: was because of me, A lot of it was because

566
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: of him, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Yeah,

567
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 1: I mean I talked about my dog like a good

568
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,880
Speaker 1: you know, ten percent of the day. So they can

569
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: make that into an entire storyline. Well, I think we

570
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 1: all know Ben Dorn is a great guy, and I

571
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 1: think it was just something funny to bring up because

572
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,919
Speaker 1: edited or not, it's still funny and it's still entertained

573
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: to watch. And I was watching it last night laughing

574
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 1: because he is a friend and I could just imagine

575
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: that that he was going to a lot of heat

576
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: for for speaking about his dog more than anything else. Um.

577
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 1: So we have a guy last night, and we kind

578
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: of had to explain who Ben Zorn was because it's

579
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 1: been a few years since we've been on the back threat.

580
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: We have a guy last night that I had no

581
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: clue who he was. And he I guess he's nicknamed

582
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: Santa Clause for whatever reason. Um, but he's hammered last night.

583
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: I mean he's drunk, he can't function. Who is Santa clause. Actually,

584
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: Santa Claus was what, I don't know somebody on Joe

585
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 1: Joe season. He may have eliminated eleven twelve somewhere in there.

586
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 1: Do you know him? What's that guy's story? Well, I

587
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: met him for the first time at Paradise. I mean,

588
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: you're not wrong, Ben, He definitely drank quite a bit

589
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: that first night, but I think he realized that he

590
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: needs to tone it back a little bit. In the

591
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 1: coming episodes, you'll see a little bit more sober version

592
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: of him. He seemed like he was actually really into Jasmine.

593
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, he very much was. I think that

594
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,880
Speaker 1: he she was his focus in priority the entire time

595
00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: he was in Paradise. But you really have to respect

596
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 1: someone coming down and focusing solely on one person before me.

597
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 1: Oh well, yeah, I mean yeah, I mean to have

598
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: the fortitude to go through something like that. Um, I

599
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: think that a lot of people went in with an

600
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 1: open mindset, and Nick was one of the few that

601
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 1: really wanted to dial in on someone. So where does that, like,

602
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: is that a common or where does I guess where

603
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: does the connection come from? Then? So Nick comes in

604
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 1: knowing that he wants to talk to Jasmine, does that

605
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: happen way before Bachelor in Paradise. Do you think you

606
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 1: just saw her on NIX season of the Bachelor and thought,

607
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: from that moment on, I want to get to know

608
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,479
Speaker 1: this woman. That's a great question, Ben, because when I

609
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: was watching this with my sister Lauren, she said, it

610
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: seems like these two have talked prior. What are you

611
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: think I could see that part of part of what

612
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: I really wanted to do before going in as well.

613
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: And I feel like I keep talking about myself and

614
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: you're supposed to want you to. Um. I made a

615
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: considered effort to not talk to any of the women

616
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: before I went on the show because I wanted to

617
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: go in with a very blank canvas, I guess, an

618
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: open mindset to meet every single one of them. Um,

619
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: is that why you talk to me for advice? Because

620
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: you knew I was safe? Well, I knew you weren't.

621
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 1: You weren't going this year. Um. Yeah, And there was

622
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: basically just an advice stuff. But yeah, I mean it

623
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: seems like they might have talked beforehand. I didn't hear

624
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: anything of that, but I definitely wouldn't be surprised if

625
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: they had. You're such a good boy, you just followed

626
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: all the rules, and that's how you don't get in trouble.

627
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: I am I follow the rules. Probably No, Actually, I

628
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: don't want to say that. But in regards to the

629
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,479
Speaker 1: Bachelor stuff, I want to have as pure and as

630
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: real of an experience as I can, So I definitely

631
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 1: don't want to. Uh, I don't know break form. Speaking

632
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 1: of pure form, um, I know ben Z hasn't done

633
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: it the past two years because honestly, he's just been

634
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: kind of He's been very chatty with the girls coming

635
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: off the past two seasons, so I think this season

636
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: he was like, Oh, I'm not going to talk to

637
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: these girls and I'm going to go into Paradise and

638
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 1: meet them for real the first time there. Did he

639
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: tell you anything about that? No? I have. This is

640
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: my first time hearing about it. Oh did you see

641
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: coming off of Ben's season? Ben, were you aware of this?

642
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: I am spilling a lot of he right here. I know,

643
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: but you know, that's what we do. We're a podcast.

644
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: We're supposed to entertain people, you know what. No, I

645
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: was aware of it, actually, and because I am friends

646
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: with Ben and uh, that's the text head that I'm

647
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: on with a bunch of Bachelor people you know obviously

648
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: make fun of each other for everything we choose to

649
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 1: do in life, and so one of the one of

650
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 1: the things was making fun of Ben's thorn for you know,

651
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,479
Speaker 1: kind of talking to the girls that would come off

652
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: past season. And I don't I mean knowing been his

653
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: intentions with that were probably really good. He he just

654
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: wanted to get to know these women. UM. I don't

655
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: know if if he ever went on a date or

656
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: if anything was ever if there was any ever action

657
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: taking place from him talking to as women, But I

658
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: was very familiar and very aware with the fact that

659
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: Ben was talking to women that came off past seasons.

660
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 1: I'm curious to know who was actually don't know that.

661
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know that actually have any insight

662
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: into that. Um from your season. I know that he

663
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 1: was like talking to Lauren Himmel, Leah Block, basically anyone

664
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: from your and to four. Well, I mean, that's that's

665
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: an interesting thing for for us to talk to listeners about.

666
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: Vaccination is very closely connected. So it's a very risky

667
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: move too, I think on anybody's part to start talking

668
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: to people from past seasons or multiple people from past

669
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: seasons because just like the three of us know, everybody's

670
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: going to find out about it very quickly. Ben, there

671
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: were some crazy rumors going on at Shabby's wedding about

672
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: you and I. What were the rumors? Actually, I don't

673
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: even know if I can say it podcast. They said

674
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: she was doing dirty stuff to you. Actually, is that true? Well,

675
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: that the rumor. It's true that there's a rumor, and

676
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 1: we obviously can clear up here that No, there's nothing

677
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: going on. I have never been kissed. Vent How can

678
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: you answer that question like that, and you answer the

679
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: question about me and you so much more? Are they

680
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: are professional partners? We would never cross that line, Okay, okay?

681
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: And the intrigue being I just I can't wait for

682
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: the headline tomorrow. Uh be. Actually, I won't answer the

683
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: question about being This is gonna be great. This is

684
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: so entertaining. No, everybody, we've said up many times, we'll

685
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: keep staying again. I absolutely love Actually she is one

686
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: of the best people I know. But there is nothing

687
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: romantic going on. We are really good partners in this

688
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: podcast and friends, and that's why working together with her

689
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: has been so much fun. It's because she really is

690
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: a friend to me outside of this podcast. I also

691
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: confide in her about small things, little things. Um, she

692
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: knows a lot about me and uh, and so no,

693
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 1: there's nothing romantic going on. So let's the rumors keep spreading.

694
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: I guess any publicity is good publicity. That's what I think.

695
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: That's why I'm not answering any other questions. But let's

696
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: give him something to talk about. But as far as

697
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: you and Dean, we're just gonna leave it. Uh, leave

698
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: it out there and leave it ambiguous because who knows

699
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: what happened there? Uh speaking of being ambiguous. Um, this

700
00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with that. Um. Okay, Dean and Ashley,

701
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: we've talked about this sponse before. They're great, They're incredible.

702
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: I've given the sponsors product out as a gift to

703
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 1: my coworkers. I've talked about that in a previous podcast.

704
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: But we're gonna talk about bio clarity, right, Um, Ashley

705
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: and Dean, we know how how important it is to

706
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: be confident in your own skin. Right, you're gonna be

707
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 1: on national TV. People are gonna be judging you. You

708
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: don't want to unwant to break out. You want to

709
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: make sure your skin looks good and clean. But you

710
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: also want to make sure that you're you're using products

711
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: on your skin that are healthy and that that aren't

712
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: gonna hurt your skin long term, right, And that is

713
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: exactly what bio clarity is. Your faith, especially athletes and Dean.

714
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: I gotta say years too, because the only thing I

715
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: ever hear about, including emails of this podcast, is how

716
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: can I get to no Dean? So obviously your face

717
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: is doing just fine also, but your faith is no

718
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: place for weird, harsh chemicals. Bio Clarity has naturally called

719
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: me in cleansing extracts including green tea and camera meal,

720
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: bio theory cools, and sue skin with cucumber and oat

721
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 1: kernel extract. Actually, I know you us, right, I do.

722
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,360

723
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 1: doesn't use so but his skin is perfect. My skin

724

Speaker 1: is perfect because of bioclarity. You guys don't even know.

725

726
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:24,040

749
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 1: There is a lot of rumors out there, um that

750
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: you could be the next Bachelor Okay, would you do it? Um? Well,

751
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 1: first of all, I think if I were presented an

752
00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 1: opportunity like that, you and I would have to have

753
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 1: a lengthy station. I would of course be flattered to

754
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: be presented an opportunity like that. UM. I know I

755
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 1: said I I'm publicly supporting Peter for a bachelor if

756
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 1: he so chooses to to have that position. Um. But again,

757
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: I would never say no to an opportunity, especially of

758
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: that magnitude, for right away, I would definitely have to

759
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 1: consider it quite a bit. Um. People really want you

760
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 1: to do it, and I mean I mean that. I

761
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: think that's got to be a good feeling. I know

762
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: that the process of kind of prepping to be the

763
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 1: Bachelor before even they asked him be the bachelor, one

764
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 1: of the things I was most worried about was the

765
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: scrutiny that that entails. Um. But people are huge fans

766
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: of you, deep and they really want they really want

767
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: to want to see you find somebody, but they also

768
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:44,720
Speaker 1: just want to see more of you as a person, um,

769
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: which has got to be a great complement to you,

770
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 1: and I hopefully that makes you feel good. UM. One

771
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: of my I guess one of my concerns going into

772
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 1: this when I was going to be the Bachelor, was

773
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 1: you know, what does it look like at the end,

774
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: would I propose or not? Um? If I was in love?

775
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 1: And my question to you is, if you find yourself

776
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 1: in love at the end of it, um, would you

777
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 1: propose to somebody? Well? Well, so what was your I

778
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 1: guess thought going into it? My thought was, honestly, when

779
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,280
Speaker 1: I went into being the Bachelor, I was very confident

780
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 1: with the idea that I could walk out of it

781
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 1: just dating somebody or being in a sparce relationship. I

782
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: was actually feeling very confident about that idea because, uh,

783
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 1: it's kind of this I would say, I don't know.

784
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 1: I'm not going to choose my words very carefully here, um,

785
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 1: but it scared me um that I could be engaged

786
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 1: into the bachelor was somebody that I didn't really know,

787
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 1: And that ended up not being the case for me. Right,

788
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 1: I feel like I knew Lauren well um, and and

789
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 1: so all those fears kind of subsided after more and

790
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: more time together. But it was a huge concern and

791
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 1: one that I feel like every batchelor should consider. I

792
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: told Nick the same thing, I said, don't feel like

793
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 1: you're going to be the Bachelor, and that you have

794
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 1: to to propose at the end. But sometimes it is

795
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 1: an expectation, and I guess, being my question is could

796
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:03,399
Speaker 1: you handle that expect case m I guess I definitely could.

797
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: I could see myself proposing to someone after eight or

798
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 1: nine weeks. I don't think I would have gone on

799
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 1: the Bachelor I had I not been able to see

800
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: that within myself, I would kind of go in it

801
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 1: with the same mentality as you where Um, it would

802
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 1: be a different season of sorts. You know, it would

803
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: be obviously, in my opinion, maybe a little more high energy,

804
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 1: a little bit more fun. Just focus more on fun

805
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 1: and and and the romance side of things instead of

806
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: focusing so heavily on the engagement itself. Um. But as

807
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: as you just mentioned, I think you put yourself through

808
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 1: that process and by the end of it, you're you're

809
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: in a complete different position than you you kind of

810
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 1: thought you're you're going to be in. So I think

811
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 1: it's kind of lame that in this age of the Bachelor,

812
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: you're so shamed if you don't propose at the end,

813
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: Like the last person that didn't propose was one Pablo

814
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 1: and then of course at the beginning of the franchise,

815
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: it wasn't so much a must. Why does the audience

816
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: just force the proposal? Well, I think you guys mentioned

817
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 1: that Wan Pablo was under a bit of scrutiny for

818
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,839
Speaker 1: not proposing, but I think Ben mentioned once before that

819
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,879
Speaker 1: there were other reasons for that, other people who haven't

820
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 1: proposed that when the show's passed and somehow we've gotten

821
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 1: to this age where you just have to propose or

822
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 1: people hate you. So I think it took a turn

823
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 1: this season because it's switched, because people think she should

824
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: have stayed with Peter despite his not wanting to propose,

825
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 1: and they're ripping on Rachel and Brian because that proposal

826
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: was like the lamest proposal in the history of forever.

827
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 1: So I think it's making a turn, could be. Well,

828
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 1: the challenging thing is it's it's like, regardless of what

829
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 1: the lead does, there will be people thinking it was

830
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 1: right and people thinking it was wrong. Um so so

831
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: there's basically no winning everyone. I think with Dinas Bachelor,

832
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 1: people do just want to watch you and like look

833
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 1: at your cute, smiley face and your eyes and just

834
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,359
Speaker 1: see your interaction, like you're cute self that I don't

835
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 1: really know if they're super care I think people would

836
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 1: get annoyed by me in this stop week. No way,

837
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 1: that's just my opinion. Um, well I do Ben, Do

838
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 1: you have another question for Dean? Okay, well, Dean, you

839
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 1: also are just like well, like I just said, the sweetest.

840
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 1: So my question for you is, how could you possibly

841
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: deal with twenty five girls in breaking up with twenty

842
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 1: four of them? Possibly? That sounds miserable. Yeah, you just

843
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:22,240
Speaker 1: don't like breaking up with people in general. You sometimes

844
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 1: ghost them. You have a hard time with like, but

845
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: it's like out of the sweetness of your heart that

846
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:29,919
Speaker 1: you have a hard time with it because you don't

847
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:33,240
Speaker 1: want to hurt anyone, so you try to avoid hurting

848
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:36,320
Speaker 1: people as best as you can. But in this scenario,

849
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to hurt twenty four girls. And is

850
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 1: there any easy way to do that? No, no, there's not.

851
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 1: I mean, that was my next question, Dean, was you

852
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 1: know are you? I mean, it sounds like you've got

853
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 1: a great head on your shoulders and you understand that

854
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 1: you're never gonna make everybody happy. Um, You're gonna try

855
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: really hard to treat these women fairly and tomorrow. And

856
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:56,720
Speaker 1: I know about you you would do that. Um. There's

857
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 1: no easy way to go through this experience and not

858
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:03,839
Speaker 1: be emotionally connected to the women's that are involved. Uh

859
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 1: and being your biggest asset. Uh And and maybe the

860
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 1: one thing that will be going to make it make

861
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 1: the Bachelor being the hardest for you if that happens

862
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 1: for you, will be your heart. Um. It's going to

863
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 1: get torn up in a thousand different directions. Uh. You

864
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 1: know one thing that I would like to tell you is,

865
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 1: you know the crazy part about the Bachelor is you're

866
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: literally breaking up with everyone. You have very little things

867
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 1: to celebrate until the very last day is when you

868
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:33,399
Speaker 1: can get down on one knee, or if you walk

869
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,759
Speaker 1: out of it happy with somebody else, you can you

870
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,880
Speaker 1: can say hey, we did it and I love you. Um.

871
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 1: But for for most of the experience, it's a lot

872
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 1: of a lot of heartache. And are you ready for that? Um?

873
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 1: Could anyone ever be ready? Yeah? That's a great point.

874
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: Could anyone ever really be ready for that? Like you said,

875
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 1: it's it's basically nine weeks of heartache and hardships for

876
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 1: one obviously grandiose celebration at the end. But um, I

877
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:00,040
Speaker 1: don't think anyone's really ready for it. It's just a

878
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 1: situation of if you want to be put in that situation,

879
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 1: right That's that is the question, just something you have

880
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: to think about what concerns you as you sit here

881
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:16,360
Speaker 1: now and and say is say I'm the bachelor, and

882
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 1: I say, Dean, I want to ask you to consider this.

883
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:22,400
Speaker 1: What What's what's the thought process in in summary that

884
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 1: you would have to go through, like what are some

885
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 1: of the things that concern you or the things that

886
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:29,799
Speaker 1: would make you excited? Well, I guess to answer you, well,

887
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 1: can we flip it back on you, what were some

888
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:33,319
Speaker 1: of your biggest concerns going into it? Because again I

889
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 1: haven't I don't know, to be perfectly honest with you,

890
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 1: I haven't really given it serious consideration. I've never really

891
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: considered myself to be think about it right now. I mean,

892
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 1: if the bachelor would come to you and say, Dean,

893
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 1: we want you to consider this because this is how

894
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 1: it will happen if it if it does go down right,

895
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:49,840
Speaker 1: they called me, they said, Ben, we want you to

896
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 1: consider this. Uh. You have X amount of days uh

897
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 1: to process do these thoughts? Uh? And right away I

898
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,360
Speaker 1: know as soon as they asked me, my mind started twirling.

899
00:42:58,520 --> 00:42:59,919
Speaker 1: And I can tell you that some of the stuff

900
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 1: thought within those first two minutes after they asked me

901
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 1: were the things that were the biggest issues to me

902
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,320
Speaker 1: later on. So as I asked you that, and you

903
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 1: would have to start thinking about it, what would be

904
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 1: the stuff that comes your mind? I guess did they

905
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:14,880
Speaker 1: was it was there like a contractual obligation for you

906
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 1: to walk away from that with a proposal? I would

907
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:21,879
Speaker 1: assume not. But no, no, no, not at all. I mean,

908
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. My mind is just working like a

909
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 1: million miles a second. Right now. I asked a question

910
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 1: that may easily bring him to that okay guy to

911
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 1: answer it. I think I think it blows back down

912
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 1: to as as you alluded to initially as well. You

913
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 1: you're under a lot of scrutiny, and regardless of what

914
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 1: you do, whether you think it's right or wrong, people

915
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 1: are going to find the wrong in it. And I

916
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 1: I think that I handle scrutiny well, but I still

917
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 1: let it affect me way more than I wanted to.

918
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 1: And I think at the end of the day that

919
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 1: would be maybe the biggest hurdle for me to overcome.

920
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:57,759
Speaker 1: All right, as a girl, I need to ask you

921
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 1: this um be in your age is not that huge

922
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:03,840
Speaker 1: of a deal because you're twenty six and Ben was

923
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,359
Speaker 1: and he was the Bachelor, But I want you to

924
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 1: really think about this. If you were the Bachelor and

925
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 1: you're supposed to be on the search for your forever one,

926
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 1: are you sure you're ready to not be with anybody

927
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 1: else for the rest of your life, especially given the

928
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 1: temptation that comes along with the Bachelor, Like you're going

929
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 1: to be such a sex symbol, Like why would you

930
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:26,439
Speaker 1: want to settle down at that point? I think that's

931
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of ridiculous to even think about.

932
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:33,320
Speaker 1: I don't really have an interest in pursuing twenty different

933
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 1: women outside of the show. I mean not even on

934
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 1: the show really, but like I would like to go

935
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 1: on a show, I would like to find a relationship

936
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: that can allow me to be with that person for

937
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:45,720
Speaker 1: the rest of my life. I'm not interested in going

938
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:47,799
Speaker 1: out and playing a bunch of women and hooking up

939
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 1: with as many people as possible. So to be able

940
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 1: to go on and find someone that can spend the

941
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 1: rest of my life with I think is is the

942
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 1: obviously the purest joy that you can come from that. Um,

943
00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:01,359
Speaker 1: that's not really interesting mine. Honestly to play, I'll let's

944
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 1: let's make this easier. You know, we've we've just pounded you.

945
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 1: I honestly, I just wanted to hear your thoughts and

946
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 1: because I wouldn't be surprised if at some point in

947
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 1: your life you're gonna be asked a similar question. Why

948
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 1: I just ask you, uh to You're a good dude.

949
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:14,319
Speaker 1: If I can do it, you can do it. You're

950
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 1: gonna be fine. They're scrutiny, you know, going into it.

951
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 1: At the end of it, it it can be one of

952
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 1: the most beautiful moments of your life. Uh. The experience

953
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:24,359
Speaker 1: itself is not easy. It's hard, um and it is.

954
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 1: I will never claim that it can be fun at times,

955
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 1: but it's really hard. But it is worth it because

956
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 1: you learn about about yourself and you learn a lot

957
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 1: about a bunch of other people. And if you're as

958
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:36,319
Speaker 1: lucky as I was, Uh, you have a lot of

959
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:38,880
Speaker 1: great women that invest a lot of their time and

960
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 1: take a lot of their life, time out of their

961
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 1: lives to come try to meet you. Um. So man,

962
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 1: if they ask you, I just encourage you to think

963
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:47,400
Speaker 1: through it, but know that you can do it, and

964
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 1: you can do it really well. You can do it

965
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: a lot better than I did. Um And And honestly,

966
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 1: I think there's a great couple of guys that they're considering,

967
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 1: and I'm excited to see who they choose. Um. In

968
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 1: my opinion, I feel like us here collectively we just

969
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:06,319
Speaker 1: may have crowned Dean the next Bachelor. So dean't you

970
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 1: were contacts, because if you do, you're gonna need a

971
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 1: lot of pairs to see all those girls. I don't

972
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 1: want contact. Okay, well, well you know sometimes I do

973
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:20,719
Speaker 1: UM too concerts. But what's nice is that because I

974
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 1: only wear them for certain occasions, like I don't like

975
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 1: to keep them in that little case with the liquid

976
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 1: in them. I just like to put them in for

977
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 1: a day and then throw them out. And thanks to

978
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 1: Hubble Contacts, I am able to do that because they

979
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 1: give me quality daily lenses for half the price of

980
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 1: the other guys. These contacts are sent directly to me

981
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:41,920
Speaker 1: and they're half the price. Contacts are expensive now because

982
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:45,760
Speaker 1: there are four companies that control in the market. Until

983
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:49,760
Speaker 1: Hubble came around, contacts have never been more convenient and affordable.

984
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:52,360
Speaker 1: And they have been featured in Vogue, g Q, tech Crunch,

985
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 1: and Mashful, so it's a very reliable, well trusted website.

995
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:34,240
Speaker 1: final two segments of the almost famous podcast, first season

996
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:38,319
Speaker 1: of Bachelor Paradise, first episode. Here's the deal. We're gonna

997
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:40,480
Speaker 1: take some callers. Do you have any callers in the line. Yes,

998
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:44,920
Speaker 1: we have Emily in Indiana. Hi, Oh my gosh, Hi,

999
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 1: how are you what up? I'm actually a boiler maker. Um,

1000
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna hang up on me? Emily? Do you have

1001
00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:00,759
Speaker 1: a question about Bachelor in Paradise? I do I have

1002
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:03,799
Speaker 1: a question for Dean. I've heard um Ashley on her

1003
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 1: podcast Talk a lot about the behind the scenes UM

1004
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: for the girls, and I kind of wondered how it

1005
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:13,879
Speaker 1: was um comparably with the guys, like sleeping arrangements, UM,

1006
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:17,399
Speaker 1: showering or um Like obviously you don't have a bunch

1007
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 1: of makeup sitting around, so was it as uncomfortable and everything?

1008
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:26,120
Speaker 1: I didn't mind it. So, as I actually mentioned earlier

1009
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:28,279
Speaker 1: in the podcast, I actually reached out to her for

1010
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 1: some advice before heading into Paradise, and she had mentioned

1011
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:34,480
Speaker 1: how rough the living conditions down there are. UM. The

1012
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 1: guy's rooms, there's two rooms. There's probably like six beds

1013
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:40,839
Speaker 1: in each, maybe eight um, one bathroom for each. And

1014
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:44,359
Speaker 1: I mean, I honestly didn't mind it. Um it gets

1015
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:46,719
Speaker 1: kind of messy. I mean myself particularly, I just kind

1016
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 1: of had my clothes wherever they fell. Um. But it

1017
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:53,440
Speaker 1: wasn't an issue ever, Like everyone was able to shower

1018
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 1: on time. UM. No one was ever really waiting for

1019
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:58,279
Speaker 1: a bathroom. It was basically just like you're living, um

1020
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:00,839
Speaker 1: in a bunk bed with you know, other guys. It's

1021
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 1: like summer camp. I've never been to summer camp, I

1022
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:06,640
Speaker 1: imagine what it is like. And the thing is it's

1023
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:09,440
Speaker 1: a lot easier for guys, and it is for girls.

1024
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:13,240
Speaker 1: The girls actually have their own dressing room, um, for

1025
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:15,760
Speaker 1: all our clothes and all our makeup. They have vanities

1026
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 1: and lights and all that. I mean, I enjoy it too.

1027
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:20,920
Speaker 1: Like I wake up, like say, like seven thirty am,

1028
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 1: and I look over and I see like Diggie is

1029
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 1: still sleeping in his bed. So I'm all right, I

1030
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:26,640
Speaker 1: can still sleep for a little bit longer. So um,

1031
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 1: it's nice to be able to have your friends around.

1032
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:30,239
Speaker 1: And we really didn't have any issues with it, at

1033
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:33,120
Speaker 1: least I didn't personally. Yeah, very cool, Thank you so much.

1034
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:37,400
Speaker 1: Thank you, Emily. Great question. Now we have Vanessa on

1035
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 1: the phone in Ontario, Canada. Hey Vanessa, Oh my god,

1036
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:49,399
Speaker 1: Hi Aslee, Hi, how you doing there? Oh my god,

1037
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 1: I love you. How are you hid? How are you?

1038
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:54,840
Speaker 1: I'm good? Thank you for asking? And Hi Ben, I

1039
00:49:54,920 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 1: love you too. Don't worry. Do you have a question

1040
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:05,400
Speaker 1: about Paradise? I do. I do. So. I was just wondering,

1041
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:08,760
Speaker 1: obviously these questions freaking but when Karin made her welcome

1042
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 1: speech and you kind of gave a little bit of

1043
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 1: a look in the episode, I was wondering if that

1044
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 1: was the editing or if you actually had a little

1045
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:20,400
Speaker 1: bit of an issue with her welcoming Um. That was

1046
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:25,440
Speaker 1: the editing, wasn't it. That was the No. I don't know.

1047
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 1: I don't want to. I would never say I have

1048
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 1: an issue with Karin. I think that her speech was

1049
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 1: a little bit I want to use a word narcissistic,

1050
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:36,239
Speaker 1: welcome me to paradise, and that's that's just not really

1051
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:38,040
Speaker 1: my style. So I rolled my eyes a little bit

1052
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:40,080
Speaker 1: and it was it was just purely reactionary. I didn't

1053
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:42,360
Speaker 1: realize it until watching it back, but I thought it

1054
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:47,359
Speaker 1: was hysterical. Also amen um, But no, the limited time

1055
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 1: I spent with the Crench, she seems like a sweet girl.

1056
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:51,440
Speaker 1: It was just that that moment I was like, okay,

1057
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:57,880
Speaker 1: here we got talking. That was a great question. Oh

1058
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:00,799
Speaker 1: thank you. I love you guys so much. Watch all

1059
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:03,000
Speaker 1: your listens. I should say to all your podcasts. I

1060
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:05,360
Speaker 1: don't even know what I'm saying, and I'm whenvous, Well,

1061
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you for calling Vanessa and you guys.

1062
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:13,400
Speaker 1: Same was plug. That is the I don't get a

1063
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:16,320
Speaker 1: podcast she's referring to. And I actually had Jared Wells

1064
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:19,799
Speaker 1: and Cupcake on this week. They were talking about things

1065
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 1: that they don't get about dating. She should gotta check

1066
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 1: that out. But now we have Megan and Boston calling Hi. Hi,

1067
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 1: it's Astley. How are you doing. I'm good? How are

1068
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:35,319
Speaker 1: you good? What's your question for Dean? My question was

1069
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 1: actually for Ben there it is of course about forget

1070
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 1: about you Ben, what's going on? Um? Well, my question

1071
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:50,280
Speaker 1: was I was wondering if you would ever consider going

1072
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 1: to Bachelor of Paradise. Yeah, Ben in Paradise. Um, you know,

1073
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:59,319
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Um, I'm not against it, and

1074
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 1: I do and OI watching it, it just doesn't When

1075
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:06,560
Speaker 1: I watched it, it kind of gives me anxiety. Um,

1076
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:08,960
Speaker 1: I think for a couple of reasons. Right, you know

1077
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:11,319
Speaker 1: there it's a lot of fun, and it's it's very

1078
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:13,960
Speaker 1: kind of free spirited, and I'm just I really am

1079
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:16,080
Speaker 1: not that kind of I'm not good at dating in

1080
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 1: that way. I'm much more, uh, just kind of one

1081
00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:24,000
Speaker 1: on one traditionalist. Um, even though I did the Bachelor. Um,

1082
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:26,840
Speaker 1: but I don't think so. However, you know, kind of

1083
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:29,440
Speaker 1: like my answer last week for being a Bachelor again

1084
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:32,640
Speaker 1: was you can never close the door to a possibility

1085
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 1: or to an opportunity. Um. And so if there was

1086
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 1: somebody from a past season that I had my eye on,

1087
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:39,440
Speaker 1: or that I was really interested in meeting, and I

1088
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:41,640
Speaker 1: didn't know any other way to meet them outside of Paradise,

1089
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:44,400
Speaker 1: Then then I think the risk would be worth it. Um,

1090
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:46,400
Speaker 1: you could see me going there, but it would have

1091
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 1: to take the right person. And I don't think I

1092
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:50,920
Speaker 1: would go unless I knew that there was somebody that

1093
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:52,439
Speaker 1: was going to be there that that I really wanted

1094
00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:59,440
Speaker 1: to meet. Got it? Oh my gosh, that's well. Thank

1095
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 1: you for the quiet and it really it really was

1096
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 1: a good one. We joke about it a lot, but

1097
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 1: it is one now that I probably, I guess again,

1098
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:08,920
Speaker 1: could consider, um, But right now I just don't think

1099
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:12,200
Speaker 1: it's enough about possibilities, Yeah, it would be awestimate. We

1100
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:19,080
Speaker 1: could see again, Well we'll see. Maybe for consolation for now,

1101
00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 1: I'll take I'll take a consolation price. What about, Hey, Ben,

1102
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:27,319
Speaker 1: what about Winter Games? Uh? You good question. I have

1103
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:30,359
Speaker 1: no clue what Winter Games even it, so I don't

1104
00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:32,319
Speaker 1: know if they do. But if Winter Games is a

1105
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:35,719
Speaker 1: cool concept and it seems spawn and then yeah, I

1106
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:38,239
Speaker 1: definitely think I would do it, But we'll have to

1107
00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:39,880
Speaker 1: wait and see. I would have to I would have

1108
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:43,280
Speaker 1: to kind of hear what it is first. Yeah, I agree,

1109
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 1: I think Winter Games would be fun. It sounds like

1110
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:47,240
Speaker 1: it's going to be more of like a competition aspect

1111
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:49,960
Speaker 1: than Actually I'm not I've never realized, but being a

1112
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 1: Colorado guy, I'm sure you could be interested in doing

1113
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:54,560
Speaker 1: something like that. That'd be cool. Yeah, man, well, I

1114
00:53:54,600 --> 00:53:57,960
Speaker 1: hope maybe I could see you there. Um, finally we

1115
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:00,160
Speaker 1: could meet in person. Yeah, they'd be great one of

1116
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:05,200
Speaker 1: these days. All right, you guys, we gotta go on

1117
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:10,440
Speaker 1: to Caroline in Pennsylvania. Hello, Hi, welcome to the Almost

1118
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 1: Famous podcast. Hey guys, what's up. How are you? We're great? Um.

1119
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 1: Question my question is how you guys feel about the

1120
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:25,840
Speaker 1: rule that Wells of not going to be dating anybody

1121
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:29,520
Speaker 1: and it's solely going to be bartending. Well, when I

1122
00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:31,840
Speaker 1: first heard that Wells was gonna be the bartender, I

1123
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:34,759
Speaker 1: definitely thought that was just their way to make his

1124
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:39,360
Speaker 1: entrance into Paradise and then people would start dating the bartender. Um,

1125
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:42,840
Speaker 1: I don't think that's actually gonna happen. He was pretty

1126
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:45,759
Speaker 1: firm on that yesterday. I know Amanda was a little disappointed,

1127
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:48,759
Speaker 1: and um, if I hadn't dated him previously and I

1128
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:50,799
Speaker 1: was part of this cast, and I also would have

1129
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:55,840
Speaker 1: been very disappointed. Uh huh, Dean, can you give us

1130
00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:59,040
Speaker 1: any little scoop? What about you? Ben? What do you

1131
00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 1: think being You're good at asking me quite? I like this,

1132
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 1: thank you. I don't know. I mean, Wells is a

1133
00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:09,280
Speaker 1: very thought after man. I mean I think, uh, Wells

1134
00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 1: is such a good dude. He's funny, he's good looking.

1135
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:15,479
Speaker 1: I can see him being, um something that the women

1136
00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:17,399
Speaker 1: really gets, like to get to enjoy it or get

1137
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:20,719
Speaker 1: to know there um. But it's also I think a

1138
00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 1: cool element to have him as a bartender, because it

1139
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:25,279
Speaker 1: does kind of separate and give him a perspective now

1140
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:27,440
Speaker 1: where he can speak to each person or each couple

1141
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:30,680
Speaker 1: individually with a little bit of a better perspective than

1142
00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:35,279
Speaker 1: maybe the former bartender could. I want to know was

1143
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 1: he a good bartender? I will say that I definitely

1144
00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 1: confided in Wells quite a bit in regard to relationship issues. Um,

1145
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:46,239
Speaker 1: so it was great to have a familiar perspective there um.

1146
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:47,680
Speaker 1: I guess we just have to wait and find out

1147
00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:49,440
Speaker 1: if he goes on any dates or not. He's got

1148
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:52,400
Speaker 1: a smile on like maybe he does. I always have

1149
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:57,239
Speaker 1: a smile on has to be like somebody left. I'm

1150
00:55:57,320 --> 00:55:59,600
Speaker 1: telling you That's what I yesterday. I was like, I

1151
00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:02,200
Speaker 1: don't know how any of these girls are looking at

1152
00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:04,759
Speaker 1: anyone other than Dean. What do you What do you

1153
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:08,160
Speaker 1: guys think about Wells for bachelor? No, for bachelor. I

1154
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:09,920
Speaker 1: think you'd be a good one. Would you do it?

1155
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 1: I don't know you guys obviously know him. Do you

1156
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 1: think you would be up for that? I mean I

1157
00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 1: don't see why not? Yeah, I think not talkative like

1178
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:35,000
Speaker 1: do you remember last time you were here. We were

1179
00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:36,680
Speaker 1: talking about how you were going to get some blue

1180
00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:39,440
Speaker 1: apron sent to your door and you're going to cook.

1181
00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:41,200
Speaker 1: And Amy was a little afraid because she was like,

1182
00:57:41,320 --> 00:57:42,840
Speaker 1: I'm not going to let a guy who doesn't wash

1183
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:46,480
Speaker 1: his hands cook. I said, I trusted, So tell us.

1184
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:48,360
Speaker 1: How did it go? Yeah, so I got three meals

1185
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:53,320
Speaker 1: delivered to my house. Um, and for Amy's uh sake,

1186
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:55,240
Speaker 1: I did wash my hands. But when I was preparing

1187
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:58,600
Speaker 1: the meals, um, they were great. I mean there was

1188
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:02,760
Speaker 1: there was fish, there was chicken. Um, they were all delicious.

1189
00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:05,520
Speaker 1: So I have two roommates, um, and I was sent

1190
00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:08,440
Speaker 1: three meals, so I cooked three meals all all tasted delicious.

1191
00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:12,040
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, so so. Blue Apron has established partnerships with

1192

Speaker 1: the US, leading to uh more seafood source sustainably through

1194
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:23,200

1195

1214
00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:32,040
Speaker 1: what's your question? Yeah, it was okay, So it's about

1215
00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:35,960
Speaker 1: bastl in Paradise. Um, I was just curious if there's

1216
00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:41,000
Speaker 1: like more sex going on than like blunt Wait what

1217
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:45,480
Speaker 1: was the full question? If they're okay? So obviously not

1218
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:48,240
Speaker 1: in like the first week, but is there like more

1219
00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:52,280
Speaker 1: sex going on than like the TVs in the show?

1220
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:56,240
Speaker 1: Like shows? I think you're referring to the boom boom room.

1221
00:59:56,280 --> 00:59:59,560
Speaker 1: There are cameras everywhere. Um, there are a couple of

1222
00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:03,280
Speaker 1: room that have like a curtain and I don't know, Dean,

1223
01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:10,520
Speaker 1: I've never been in that room. Well, Kayla, I did

1224
01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:12,440
Speaker 1: share a boom boom room, but there was no boom

1225
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:15,320
Speaker 1: booming because it is the one there's I think there's

1226
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 1: two of them and sometimes I I personally am a

1227
01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:23,280
Speaker 1: very big fan of cuddling, and they were there were

1228
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:27,400
Speaker 1: several occasions where we would go in and snuggle. I mean,

1229
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:29,960
Speaker 1: of course, I can't speak to the show itself. I'm

1230
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:32,520
Speaker 1: sure ben Ken, I would imagine there's more in Paradise

1231
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:35,080
Speaker 1: than there is on The Bachelor Bachelorette just because there's

1232
01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:38,200
Speaker 1: more couples. I can clarify this. There is more sex

1233
01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:41,800
Speaker 1: that's going on in Paradise. Um, they're they're just doing

1234
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:43,560
Speaker 1: it all the time. I can say that I had

1235
01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:46,120
Speaker 1: as much sex on Paradise as I did on the Bachelorette.

1236
01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:48,880
Speaker 1: So I was just I had like two questions, like,

1237
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:50,880
Speaker 1: are you guys allowed to stay the night together like

1238
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:53,200
Speaker 1: some first night on or is it just like the

1239
01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:57,720
Speaker 1: Boom Boom room. So in Paradise you can't sleep wherever

1240
01:00:57,720 --> 01:00:59,760
Speaker 1: you want, whenever you want, with whomever you want. There

1241
01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:03,840
Speaker 1: was a rule post um break that you had to

1242
01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:06,440
Speaker 1: both consent on camera before going in, and that was

1243
01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:08,960
Speaker 1: just for the show's purposes. They wanted to ensure that

1244
01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:10,880
Speaker 1: you know no one was doing anything against their will.

1245
01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:14,400
Speaker 1: On a sad note um usually at the end of

1246
01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:17,160
Speaker 1: every Paradise season, I'm the only girls sleeping in the

1247
01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:21,080
Speaker 1: girl's room by myself, and everybody else has coupled up

1248
01:01:21,080 --> 01:01:25,320
Speaker 1: in other beds throughout the resort. That's awesome. Well that's sad,

1249
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:31,600
Speaker 1: but okay, thank you, thank you, love you guys being.

1250
01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:33,320
Speaker 1: I mean, you're gonna have to get used to these

1251
01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:36,520
Speaker 1: kind of questions. I have a feeling that questions more

1252
01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:38,320
Speaker 1: intense than that are going to be in your feature

1253
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:39,920
Speaker 1: very soon. You're gonna have to know how to answer them.

1254
01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:43,120
Speaker 1: I just also is a good reason to keep your

1255
01:01:43,120 --> 01:01:46,760
Speaker 1: morals and values in check throughout all these experiences, because

1256
01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:48,840
Speaker 1: if you don't want to have to lie, and you

1257
01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:50,840
Speaker 1: don't want to have to skirt around issues, then you

1258
01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:53,920
Speaker 1: might as well hold yourself to a standard as above approach.

1259
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:56,920
Speaker 1: That's you thought. It was a great question if you

1260
01:01:57,000 --> 01:01:58,920
Speaker 1: If you never lie, you never have to remember anything, right,

1261
01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:02,040
Speaker 1: that's the quote I'll though whenever actually sitting next to me,

1262
01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:03,680
Speaker 1: She'll be sure to put me on blast at any

1263
01:02:03,680 --> 01:02:07,440
Speaker 1: given moment. So appreciate that. Hey, that's the journalist in

1264
01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:10,240
Speaker 1: me being. I think Dean is actually pissed at me

1265
01:02:10,280 --> 01:02:13,320
Speaker 1: for the first time in his life. No, that's okay, Hey,

1266
01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:16,600
Speaker 1: relationships have that, and it actually brings us into our

1267
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:20,160
Speaker 1: last segment, which is listeners emails, and um, if Dean

1268
01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:21,880
Speaker 1: is mad at you or not, this is a great

1269
01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:25,320
Speaker 1: question for that this is from Karen. Karen is from Canada,

1270
01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:27,840
Speaker 1: and she asked. She says, I'm twenty three and I've

1271
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:30,680
Speaker 1: been dating my boyfriend for almost four years. Throughout our

1272
01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:33,920
Speaker 1: whole relationship, we have never fought at all, which is

1273
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:35,320
Speaker 1: a good sign for the two of you as you

1274
01:02:35,320 --> 01:02:37,960
Speaker 1: sit in the studio together. I've always been pretty proud

1275
01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:40,240
Speaker 1: of this until my girlfriend started saying this is a

1276
01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:44,000
Speaker 1: red flag and fighting is essential to keep relationship strong.

1277
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:48,080
Speaker 1: They want to know your thoughts, so, Dean, because you

1278
01:02:48,120 --> 01:02:49,880
Speaker 1: may be a little fresh through with actually right now,

1279
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:51,680
Speaker 1: is this a good thing or a bad thing for

1280
01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:54,560
Speaker 1: your relationship. I think that the fact that Karen has

1281
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:56,840
Speaker 1: been dating her boyfriend for four years and had zero

1282
01:02:56,880 --> 01:02:59,040
Speaker 1: fights with him, I think that's a that's a great sign.

1283
01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:01,800
Speaker 1: I think that's amazing. I think that your friends wanting

1284
01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:04,160
Speaker 1: to say those are red flags or maybe because they've

1285
01:03:04,160 --> 01:03:06,760
Speaker 1: been in relationships that have out our arguments and I

1286
01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:09,360
Speaker 1: don't know. I think that any relationship that you can

1287
01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:12,000
Speaker 1: be constantly happy and is a good thing. I agree.

1288
01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:15,080
Speaker 1: Are those friends jealous or something that's really that's weird?

1289
01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:17,360
Speaker 1: It's not a red flag. I mean a little argument

1290
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:22,240
Speaker 1: here there that's healthy. But no fights. That's not necessary. Hey, guys,

1291
01:03:22,520 --> 01:03:24,120
Speaker 1: just to close up your Dean, I have one final

1292
01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:27,720
Speaker 1: question for me from Kinsey from Utah. Um. If Rachel

1293
01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:30,040
Speaker 1: and Brian break up, Bean, would you try to date

1294
01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:32,400
Speaker 1: date Rachel again? I don't even want to consider that

1295
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:35,320
Speaker 1: as a hypothetical. I wish nothing but the best for them,

1296
01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:38,520
