6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 1: Bachelor Weekends this weekend, because first I went to Tahoe

7
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: with our producer Amy and Luke Peal and Dean. And

8
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 1: you know, Dean's last name is Googler. It's really hard

9
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: to say, so he's just Dean. Yeah. Wait, wait, what's

10
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 1: how do you say his last name? Unglungler Ungler? And

11
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 1: I think, okay, anyways, you had you were with all

12
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,480
Speaker 1: four or I guess three of these other people with them.

13
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: And then I also went to Jade's baby shower and

14
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: that was basically all of my girls from Chris Soul season.

15
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: We had a big reunion there. So all this was

16
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: back to back. I had seventy two straight hours of

17
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: Bachelor Family Fund And are you a better person or

18
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: worst person because of it? I think I'm a better person.

19
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: There we go. It was really fun, and you know,

20
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: it's it's a group of people that I definitely like

21
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: there was no wrenches in that. It was just all

22
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: my true friends. I don't know who was who was

23
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: it Jade's baby? Um, okay, so Carly of course one

24
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: of Jade's best friends. So Jade, Carly, Julia, Becca, and

25
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: Christina from next season and Danielle l and Jasmine from

26
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 1: next season. We actually didn't have any of your girls

27
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: besides Becca there. That's interesting. Why is that? I'm not sure.

28
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: I guess like Jay was just kind of home that

29
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: year and she didn't really meet any of those girls. Okay,

30
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: well that's a good group. I mean, I I don't know.

31
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: I actually probably only know a quarter of those girls.

32
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: But from what I hear from you and and just

33
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: when I hear from the Grape find like all those

34
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: women are are awesome women. So I imagine it was

35
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: a blast. It was so much fun. And Jade is Honestly,

36
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: I say it every single time somebody brings up Jade.

37
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: She is so beautiful and signed out. It's just, uh,

38
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: if I could be one girl, I be Jade like

39
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: I want her. Her soul is just so sweet, and

40
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: the baby that's growing in her has two amazing parents

41
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: to look forward to in this life. I agree. I

42
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: mean I saw your Instagram and I I when you

43
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: said that, I you know, I just took a second

44
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: thought back on my friendship with Tanner and just how

45
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: great of a friend he's been to me, especially recently.

46
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: I actually texted Tanner last week and just said, hey,

47
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: I just I appreciate him, like in this season of

48
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: life for me that isn't exactly ideal. He's just been

49
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: a solid foundation and just a good support system. And

50
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: then it sounds like Jade is that and more um

51
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: and so yeah, this baby that's coming along is not

52
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 1: only coming into a world that's gonna be a little

53
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: crazy because it's gonna get a lot of attention, but

54
00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: it's gonna be supported so well by two great people totally.

55
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: And you know you mentioned that group message, and I

56
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: know you had one going on with the guys for

57
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: a little while, but then you threw me in there.

58
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: It was you meet Tanner and Jared, and Jared and

59
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: I were at the New Kids on the Block concert

60
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: during this and I'm just thinking about you know, as

61
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: being in this message and we were playing that vacation

62
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I have some of like the three

63
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 1: greatest guy friends ever. I am so blessed to have

64
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 1: you guys there for me, because it's really important for

65
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: a girl to have like good guy friends and give

66
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: like solid advice that girls can't always help out with.

67
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: And it's and it comes from this crazy world that

68
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: is the Bachelor, right, I mean, you know we've talked

69
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:41,119
Speaker 1: about it before. The Bachelor is uh a really interesting experience.

70
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's hard, it's emotional, it's it's big.

71
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: You know a lot of people watch it. But then

72
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: at the core of it, you meet some really incredible

73
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: people that can relate with you on a different level

74
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: and and build a friendship, uh with with us for

Speaker 1: hopefully a lifetime. And I know you do that well.

76
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: You have been nothing but a great support to so

77
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: many in this and I know there's a lot of

78
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: people that have done the same to you. Um so

79
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: I'm glad that you had a crazy week full of

80
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: Bachelor people. Say, know how much you enjoy that? I do?

81
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: I do? I love it. And you know we're gonna

82
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: have Luke on later in the podcast. And Luke and

83
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: I like we've been you know, we've known each other

84
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: since September. I've always enjoyed him, but I really got

85
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: to know m this weekend, and he is such a

86
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: solid guy. He's like the guy who cleans up the

87
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: condo before you leave after everybody has made it a

88
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: total mess. I mean, is this uh so, I don't

89
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: want to ask you this yet, but I'm going to

90
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: and I'm sorry actually putting you on the spot. Okay,

91
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: more datable right now? Dean or Luke? Oh that's a

92
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: great question. Okay, Well, I think Dean is one of

93
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: the most strikingly beautiful people have ever met. And I

94
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: think he's also one of those guys that I could

95
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: hang out with forever and I hope and I think

96
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: that he would say similar things about me at we

97
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: both really enjoyed just like hanging out and goofing off

98
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: and just laughing together the entire weekend. But I think

99
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: Luke is probably more marriage material or right now. Dean

100
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: will definitely be one day. He's got such a sweet

101
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 1: soul and a wonderful personality. He really like, he's very sparkly.

102
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: That's a good descriptive word for him, you know, when

103
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: when when I think about as a man, what I

104
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: want to be described as. But he's sexy, but he's

105
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: also sparkly because he's so upbeat and happy and smiley,

106
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: and I love that. That's the kind of personality I like.

107
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 1: But I guess right now Luke is he's like entering

108
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,239
Speaker 1: that I'm going to take my life more seriously, maybe

109
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: think about settling down phase. But he also is very

110
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: focused on his work and he's really killing that too.

111
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: It sounds like and I mean, I think later on

112
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 1: the podcast, and this will kind of tease the rest podcast,

113
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: we have a great podcast lined up for everybody, um

114
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: lot to talk about. We have some really special guests.

115
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 1: But but I also I'm gonna be really interesting because

116
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: Rachel let Dean go home this week, and so we're

117
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: not gonna expand on it now, but later on the podcast,

118
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about why she let him go home?

119
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: You know, is he too young? Is he not ready? Uh?

120
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: What kind of lessons does Dean need to learn? And

121
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,359
Speaker 1: then I think we should switch it over to is

122
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: Deem the next guy? Is? Is he gonna be the Bachelor?

123
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: Coming up? And then Uh, we also have, like I said,

124
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: two special guests coming in the studio. Uh, we have

125
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: two people. Uh, Ashley and I both really like. Uh.

126
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: One is a former Denver native Chase McNary. He's he's

127
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: moved on to uh different things. I don't know if

128
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 1: they're bigger and better. We'll have to ask him. He's

129
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 1: moved to l A now, uh so he's no longer

130
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,960

Speaker 1: So it's packed and we're gonna run through topics as

133
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 1: quickly as we can because we want to make sure

134
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: that we touch on everything important in Bachelor Nation and

135
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,760

145
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,000

Speaker 1: myself for a second act. Um. So every year I

176
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,520

178
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, but I was tired. I'm tired because um,

179
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: now I get back to Denver and this week, UM

180
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: actually heading not to Honduras. Um, that's so awesome. Ten days.

181
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: Can you, like, in a couple of thirty seconds, tell

182
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 1: everybody what you do when you're in Honduras. And I'm

183
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: coming to join you next time. I want you to.

184
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: I'm excited about that. So yeah, I go down with

185
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 1: an organization called Humanity and Hope United, and he Many

186
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 1: and Hope and United is a charity that my one

187
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: of my best friends started in Honduras. And and the

188
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: purpose of Hanna, Hope and United is to really serve

189
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: underserved villages. So villages that are remote, they don't have

190
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: a lot of opportunities. Maybe you've never even seen anybody

191
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: outside of their village before. We'll go in and we

192
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: don't tell them what they should do. We asked them

193
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: what they would like us to do. And so if

194
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: they say, hey, we need clean water, hey we need jobs,

195
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:51,959
Speaker 1: or hey we really want a roof on our house,

196
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: We'll come back to the States, raise money and then

197
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: send a team out to help them get that done.

198
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 1: And so our organization is set up to partner along

199
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: side these people, become friends, become family, um with with

200
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: everyone in the villages, and grow relationship that will be

201
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 1: sustainable for years to come. And so I'm doing that

202
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: this trip. And then on the back end of this trip,

203
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: one thing I have to plug. I have to give

204
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,599
Speaker 1: a shameless plug out here. Um Riley, the founder of

205
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: com Many, Hope Night and another buddy dru Schol and

206
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 1: I had of Warsaw started a company called Generous International.

207
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: And Generous International is a company that is set up

208
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: to serve people. It's a for profit company that we

209
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 1: currently are selling T shirts and apparel and then coffee.

210
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: And this coffee is coming from Honduras, and then all

211
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 1: profits from the cell of coffee or T shirts or

212
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: whatever are going back to nonprofits and charities that are

213

Speaker 1: Got himself has ever created. Can we please edit that out? No? No, no, no,

308
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: I'm just sorry. I've been looking at it all weekend

309
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: and it's just really fun to look at. Actually tell

310
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: us more. Oh I can't, I'm such an idiot. Um. Okay, wait,

311
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: let's talk out his hometown and let's talk out I'm

312
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: going home. Please, I want to hear your perspective on it.

313
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: I thought he did a wonderful job handling his hometown.

314
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: I think he was super mature, and I like the

315
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: way that he confronted his dad with such conviction without

316
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: being at all an owl. And there's just something when

317
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: I watched this, it was before I met Dan, and

318
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: I really he really won me over by the way

319
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: he handled himself during the hometown You know, I agree,

320
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: I think there's so much um. You know, we watched

321
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: The Bachelorette for entertainment most of the time, right, But

322
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: there's moments in the Bachelor and Bachelorette that always seemed

323
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: to kind of hit the harm and Dean's had a

324
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: couple of those this season. And and for me, there

325
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: are two moments in this episode that, out of the

326
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: whole episode, that really like touched me, I guess emotionally.

327
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: One was when Dean's getting ready walk into his house

328
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: and he looks at Rachel and he says, I'm so scared,

329
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: and she turns to him as just the supportive, beautiful

330
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 1: person she is, and she says, I'm here for you.

331
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 1: We can do this together. And like, at that moment,

332
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: you can see him relax, you can see him take

333
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 1: a deep breath. You can see him look at Rachel's

334
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 1: eyes and say, okay, this is you know, yes, he's

335
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: going home this week. But at that moment, she was

336
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: his partner. And that's what we all want in relationships, right,

337
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 1: we want to be able to look at the other

338
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: person and say you got me, right, and then to

339
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: look back and say, oh, of course I've got you.

340
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: I'm here for you the whole time, no matter what happened.

341
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: That to me was a moment that I thought, Okay,

342
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: Rachel not only is an incredible person for being there

343
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 1: for him, even if she was having her doubts at

344
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 1: the moment, just saying Dean, we're gonna do this together.

345
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 1: And then for Dean to be that vulnerable and say,

346
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: you know, in a very mature place, I'm so scared

347
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: for this. How how just how deep and emotional was

348
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: that time? Because I watched and I you know how

349
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: I am. I like the moments that are a little

350
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: bit heavy. Um, I don't like the I don't like

351
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: the group dates. I like the moments that the real,

352
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: the real, you know, the tear jerkers. And that was

353
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 1: one of them, and then the other one might have

354
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: surprise you, and I want to hear what you think

355
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: and please tell me if you think I'm wrong. But

356
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: as Dean's talking to his dad, I feel for Dean.

357
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: I don't think his dad handled the situation well from

358
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 1: what it sounds like. But yeah, I also have to

359
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: feel for his dad. His dad lost the love of

360
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: his life and you can see that emotion in him,

361
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: and you can see how much life change his dad

362
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: has had since the death of his first wife. I mean,

363
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: he literally changed everything, and it's almost like he lost

364
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 1: himself and maybe he found himself again. We don't know.

365
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: I don't know how how he feels about himself today,

366
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: but it's almost like in my eyes, he's lost himself

367
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: and in sorrow and today he's no longer the man

368
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: he was before because of the death of his first wife.

369
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: And for me, I felt for his dad in these moments.

370
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: I do. I it's interesting that I was able to,

371
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: I don't want to say, be on Dean's side during this,

372
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 1: but I was also able to feel sympathy and sensitivity

373
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:08,479
Speaker 1: towards his dad, and it was really the the like

374
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: most compelling twentysomething minutes of TV I've seen in a

375
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: very long time. Um, I would you want to read

376
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: something that Dean posted on his Instagram this weekend, and

377
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 1: it's about his dad, and I think it really just

378
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: sums up everything that you feel after watching it, and

379
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: especially how Dean wants you guys to watch it. He says,

380
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: hometowns are two days away, and I'm asking for a favor.

381
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 1: When I said my father was a centric, I wasn't

382
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: referring to his Seek faith or the turban that he

383
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: wears on his head. I'm asking you to spare his

384
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 1: feelings or mine. I'm not asking you to spare his

385
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: feelings or mine, but instead be cognizant and accepting of

386
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: the millions of people who belong to the Seek community.

387
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: Although he and I are not close, I respect my

388
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: father's decision to follow his heart and pursue the life

389
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: he has chosen. Let us not criticize him for his

390
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 1: appearance or his beliefs, because by doing we are disparging

391
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: the whole entire faith culture that includes millions of people.

392
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: And I know that we are better than that. And

393
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: that is it for now. How cute does that? That's great?

394
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 1: I mean it is. I mean he's you can see

395
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 1: that even with it not with the relationships. It's not

396
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 1: that close to his dad. He's protecting his dad at

397
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 1: this moment, but he's also protecting um the Sikh faith,

398
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: and he's saying, you know, hey, I've been given this

399
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: platform and I you know, my parents didn't sign up

400
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: for this, and I invited my family into it, and

401
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,679
Speaker 1: they they allowed it, you know, the cameras and the

402
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 1: people and myself and Rachel into their home. And because

403
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 1: of that, just hold off your judgment. And it's really

404
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 1: a good lesson um for everybody that watches the show

405
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: and everybody that's listening to this podcast, is let's hold

406
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 1: off our judgments because we don't know everybody's story, and

407
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: everybody has one, and sometimes those stories can be a

408
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,199
Speaker 1: little bit bigger and a little bit deeper and a

409
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: little bit harder than any of us can imagine. I

410
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 1: think in this case, we just got up close and

411
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: personal look at Dean and his dad and his family

412
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: story that is deep and it is hard, and they're

413
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: just trying to make it work. I agree, And I

414
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:10,880
Speaker 1: just also want to throw in there that I think

415
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: Dean is so smart. I know a lot of people

416
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: are going to give him a lot of crap on

417
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 1: being too immature for this and maybe he's not ready

418
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: for marriage. But this guy, he's got a brain. I

419
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: love the way he writes, and I really like the

420
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: way he even articulates himself in an emotional environment. I agreed,

421
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: So that brings up my next question. Then, um, he

422
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,679
Speaker 1: sent home? Then this week? Do you think he was

423
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: too young for Rachel? I think he's knowing Dean now,

424
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: like on a friendship level. I do think he is

425
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: not ready for marriage, and I know that Rachel is,

426
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna agree and say yes. So with that,

427
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 1: he's heading the paradise. So he's still looking, he's still searching.

428
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 1: By the way, I'm gonna take the heat for this one.

429
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: I don't know where I got this information, but I

430
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: know it's true. So Dean is heading the paradise. Lady

431
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 1: is get excited to watch him, I mean, ladies. From

432
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 1: what Ashley says, Dean is the ultimate catch. So who's

433
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 1: going to catch his heart in Paradise? Oh my god,

434
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: I'm honestly so stressed for the girls there because I

435
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 1: know that if I were in Paradise this season, that

436
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: Dean would be the one that all the girls want

437
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 1: and then the one you have to fight for. And

438
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 1: I couldn't handle that emotional state. I just couldn't do it.

439
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,479
Speaker 1: So I kind of feel bad for them, but I wouldn't.

440
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,919
Speaker 1: You couldn't handle it. I feel like I feel like

441
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: me being in Paradise with Jared, who was so sought after.

442
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: He was like the most sought after guy there, um,

443
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,199
Speaker 1: other than maybe Wells. So I apparently just go for

444
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: the one that all the ladies always like. And I

445
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: just I'm so tired of competing. I always feel like

446
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,400
Speaker 1: I'm competing for the guy, so i'd be it would

447
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: just be hard to see him there and then know

448
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: that he'd probably pick another girl over me. I actually,

449
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: I don't even know. I don't know, like really, I'm

450
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: just there's a thought that keme in my mind here. Um,

451
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: I think you caught onto something and this is maybe

452
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 1: a conversation we need to take on to next week

453
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,959
Speaker 1: or offline, because there's a friend to you. We might

454
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 1: be touched on something. Because if you're in Paradise, you'd

455
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 1: be going after Dean and you can't tell me you

456
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: wouldn't be, So you literally go after the guy that

457
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 1: all the girls want. Yeah, I know that there's a

458
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: lot we could talk about on this topic, but also like,

459
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: doesn't that just mean I have really good tasting guys? Well?

460
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 1: I agree with that. And honestly, you are the girl

461
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: that a lot of guys want and that you're an

462
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: amazing woman, and so these guys would be lucky to

463
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: have you. I think that it's just interesting. Maybe you're

464
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 1: attracted to the guy that all the other girls kind

465
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 1: of are desiring, and you know, with the Jared situation

466
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 1: and with wealth, I mean, you kind of landed them.

467
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: I would say that I agree, you know what, in

468
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: the long run, in the long run, I went out

469
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: as far as it goes. Actually, yeah, you know, when

470
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,400
Speaker 1: you put it that way, you're right, because even if

471
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: it's not romantic, they do tend to like to be

472
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,719
Speaker 1: around me in the long run. I mean, how can

473
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 1: you not? But I like being around you. I think

474
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 1: that's obvious. I think everybody listens to this podcast like

475
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: you know, being around you, or they wouldn't, you know,

476
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: stick you in their ears for an hour each week. Um,

477
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: but it's I think that's something we need to talk

478
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: about later on, is why does actually go after the

479
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 1: guy that all the girls want? Maybe because they are

480
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: just the best guys and she's the best girl, so

481
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 1: that would make sense speaking of some of the best guys.

482
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: And and I don't know if Bachelor Nation agrees that

483
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: Rachel's final three are the three best guys, um that

484
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,360
Speaker 1: she had. But we're down to three now Dean's out.

485
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 1: We're moving on from Dean. We have Peter, Brian, and Eric. Okay,

486
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 1: so they're entering the Fantasy Sweet Week, Huge Week. But

487
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 1: before that, Ashley, your thoughts, are these the three best

488
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 1: guys that Rachel had? M there's a lot of dark horses. Um.

489
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 1: I wish we had seen more from Alex. I think

490
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: that Kenny is a really, really sweet, awesome guy. And

491
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: obviously she had quite the relationship with Matt that we

492
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: didn't get to see. As far as who we as

493
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: an audio, What do you mean by that? Just to

494
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: be clear, I don't I don't know what you're talking about. Matt. Yeah, well,

495
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: we all know that she left in tears when she

496
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: let go of Matt, and she kept saying, we're so alike.

497
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 1: And if this were a real life thing, if we

498
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: had met in real life, it seemed I think it

499
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: would have lasted longer. It would have been more intense

500
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: and like we wouldn't be breaking up after six weeks,

501
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: Like she obviously had something that we didn't see between

502
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: the two of them. So I don't know. I think

503
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 1: as far as television viewers go, this top four makes

504
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 1: the most sense. Top three, I think most people would

505
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 1: have thought it would have been Dean, Peter and Brian

506
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 1: instead of Eric, and Eric was thrown in there maybe

507
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,479
Speaker 1: because um, she feels like he's more ready for marriage

508
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 1: than Dean. Was. Okay, that makes sense. I mean I

509
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: actually really liked Eric's hometown. I saw a different side

510
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 1: to Eric that I hadn't seen yet. Um, So moving

511
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 1: on there, we're moving in the Fantasy Suite week. You've

512
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: been in the Fantasy of Seek before? Um, was it fantastical?

513
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 1: I think we've talked about my Fantasy Suite experience before,

514
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: and it was a really great time to get to

515
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: know Jared more. But you know, obviously, between he and I,

516
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,360
Speaker 1: it wasn't like sexy time. It was just it was

517
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: it was just nice because we could talk about subjects

518
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 1: and people that we couldn't talk about and didn't want

519
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: to like broadcast our private lives to a certain degree

520
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 1: on TV. So there was a lot of past relationships

521
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,400
Speaker 1: we didn't talk about on TV that we were able

522
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 1: to talk about in the Fantasy Suite. Do you do

523
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:37,439
Speaker 1: you feel like the Fantasy Suite was one of the

524
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: most impactful Uh, I guess scenarios or experiences on the

525
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: show that for your relationship with Jared, well, definitely, except

526
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,120
Speaker 1: for the fact he broke up with me the day

527
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 1: after our Fantasy Suite, So it didn't affect a relationship

528
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 1: that much, I guess, But I think it probably just

529
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 1: solidified that we liked each other as human beings a

530
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: lot more. You're just a lot more comfortable when you're

531
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: on camera, and you know, we get to that point

532
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 1: where you're like, oh my god, I'm so comfortable on camera,

533
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: like I can't even I can't even tell when the

534
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 1: cameras around, you know, it just feels so natural. But

535
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: then when those doors shut and you hear silence for

536
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: the first time in weeks, You're like, oh, wow, I

537
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: guess I do feel different. Yeah, I get that. I

538
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: mean the Fantasy suits so that it was by far

539
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 1: the most impactful experience I had in the show, not

540
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: only with Caitlin but also um then with Kayla Joe,

541
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: Joe and Lauren um And and it isn't just you know,

542
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:38,360
Speaker 1: it isn't physical, physical or purely physical. I think we've

543
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 1: been very clear on that before in a previous episode.

544
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: The Fantasy Suite is really one of the first times

545
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: that you can just let your guard down. You can

546
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: get in your pajamas. First off, you can have moments

547
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: of silence, which on the show you don't really have

548
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: moments of silence because you feel like you always need

549
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: to be talking about something um And moments of silence

550
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: are often times in relationships. I think the moments where

551
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,199
Speaker 1: you really either can tell if you're comfortab with the

552
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,400
Speaker 1: other person or you know, if if you're sitting there

553
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 1: in silence because you just can't figure it, find anything

554
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 1: to talk about. UM, that's a pretty good sign. Also,

555
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: I think the Fantasy streets are incredibly important, and I

556
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be very important for Rachel Um because really,

557
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: I think a lot of these guys, we still don't

558
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: have a clear cut favorite, and I don't know if

559
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:24,640
Speaker 1: she does. Yes, I agree with you. I think he's

560
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:28,120
Speaker 1: she's pretty torn right now between at least two of them,

561
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: and which two is that? I think she's torn between

562
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 1: Peter and Brian, and I think the yeah fantasy is telling.

563
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: But for you, did you ever have a moment of like,

564
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: oh wait, I'm going to change my mind after this experience? Um? No,

565
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: I really didn't. I mean, so it didn't change that much.

566
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: It's so hard to say, because in the Fantasy Suite,

567
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: you're entering into a week where it really is to

568
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: explore what who you have with you still and what

569
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: relationships are are existing. And so I think for me, um,

570
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: that week was really a week just to know find

571
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: out as much about each individual person as possible in

572
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: the time that we had. Now, that's also a tough

573
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 1: week because a little behind the scenes information, You talk

574
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: a lot, and you don't get into the suite until

575
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 1: pretty late at night, and you wake up pretty early.

576
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: So it's terrible because you usually end up and you

577
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: don't really want to go to sleep because you have

578
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: this few hours to be away from everybody and away

579
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: from the cameras, and so you wake up the next

580
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 1: morning exhausted and you have to start dating again. You

581
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: you you know you You're You're instagram to the next day,

582
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: and so it's a really exhausting couple hours. Um, but

583
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: it's it's really really worth it, and it's huture these relationships.

584
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: So I'm excited to watch Rachel coming out of the

585
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sweets because I know coming out of the Fantasy Sweets,

586
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 1: for me, I might have just had a little more clarity.

587
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: I think that's probably nothing changed, just a little more

588
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: clarity on woman was all right, so all I can say, wait,

589
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: hold on, okay, hold on, just one thing. I need

590
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: to say that my fantasies. We I didn't get there

591
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 1: until like to a m with Jared and he was like,

592
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: can we please go home? Like I am not into this.

593
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: We were in the middle of a kind of a

594
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: scary place in Mexico and he was very nervous. And

595
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: then we finally got into the actual fantasy suite at

596
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: three thirty am. So we talked for like three hours

597
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,239
Speaker 1: and then we slept for four And then you have

598
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: to wake up and have that person see you after

599
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: four hours of sleep and it doesn't look good. Well,

600
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: if it's love, then it shouldn't matter. I know, I

601
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: feel pretty without makeup. I just didn't feel pretty after

602
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: four hours asleep. Well, I think there's one way that

603
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: you look pretty and I know that you take care

604
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: of yourself very welshly. I've never doubted that. And one

605
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 1: of your secret treatments, can we say it? Should we

606
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: share it? Oh? Bio clarity. Bio Clarity one of our

607
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: favorite sponsors, because you know what, if you want to

608
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 1: look like Ashley without makeup on which I'm telling you

609
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: is a beautiful sight, then bio Clarity is one of

610
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: those ways to get there. Yeah. I love bioclarity because

611
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 1: I'm really sensitive to benzel peroxide and they don't have

612
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: benzel peroxide. There's no weird or harsh chemicals and this

613
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: stuff it actually has calming extracts that include green tea

614
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: and camemeal and cucumber and oatmeals like everything that's soothing

615
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 1: it has in it. And because of that, I don't

616
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: get red and irritated and dry. And you guys don't

617
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 1: even know how much I hate putting makeup on dry,

618
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 1: flaky skin. Nothing looks worse. So bioclarity gives my skin

619
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 1: really smooth and happy and it but it doesn't make

620
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 1: it oily or shiny, and I have no pimples because

621
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: of it. It's really sweet and it's also vegan and

622
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,959
Speaker 1: cruelty free for all the animal lovers out there. That's right.

623
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: And it's gluten free free because you're eating it. Just kidding,

624
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: you know. The one thing I do like and and

625
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: I don't do a lot of stuff to take care

626
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: of my skin, and I probably should, but you know

627
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 1: that feeling um when you wash your face, you get

628
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: at the shower and you put a lotion on or

629
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 1: cream on or whatever whatever you're doing, and you know,

630
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 1: it kind of feels like um, like soothing or like

631
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 1: a little bit like it's not stingy. What's the word

632
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: I'm looking for? Like, you know, I hate it when

633
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: it's stingy. That's the worst thing. It's not stingy exactly.

634
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: It's like soothing or cooling. Cooling is the word cooling? Yeah,

635
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: that's after using bioclearity for the last couple of weeks.

636
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: That's what I'm feeling when I put it on. It's

637
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 1: like that cooling, just like sensation of you know, I

638
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 1: feel better about myself because I feel like I'm clean again. Ah, yes,

639
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: that deep clean. There's actually there's three steps here when

640
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: it comes to cleaning your skin with bioclarity. First, are

641
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: going to cleanse it with this rich foam and cleanser,

642
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: and then you're going to treat it and that penetrates

643
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: the pores and it, you know, it attacks that bacteria

644
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: that leads to breakouts, and then there's the rest our job.

665
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 1: Dean's hometown. His hair looks fantastic in there, because you

666

671
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 1: with it. Yeah, I mean, there's only so much you

00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: can do to stay hip and uh and and the

673
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,919
Speaker 1: fade would definitely hit for a while. I'm like your case.

674
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you, Um, are you shirtless right now?

692
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 1: to anyone that that is following or watching our journeys.

693
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: Oh wow, that's deep. Yeah, it is. We spent We

696
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: did plots and yoga every day, and then kind of

697
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: you know, did a lot of deep, deep conversations, some

698
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 1: conversations about God and and all that stuff. So it

699
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,320
Speaker 1: was just a great positive trip, something a lot different

700
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 1: than than you would usually think when you're going down

701
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: to Cabo or Mexico. So she didn't try to hit

702

704
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 1: relationship between all three of us. I mean, I think

00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:06,240
Speaker 1: that sounds great and and welcome back to the United States. Then, um,

706
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:07,800
Speaker 1: we're happy to have you. Thanks for coming in the

707
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 1: studio of the day after coming back from the trip.

708
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 1: We're going to start out a little heavy here. Okay,

709
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 1: we're gonna ask you some questions, um that they are

710
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 1: going to feel a little intrusive, a little bit rough.

711
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 1: But then we're gonna move into some topics that are

712
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 1: a little bit easier, a little bit more forgiving. Okay.

713
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: I wouldn't expect anything less. I'd have been Also, I

714
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 1: have no idea of where these tough questions that are

715
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 1: coming in. It's probably gonna be if I have any

716
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: asked pictures on the internet. No, no, no, no, we're

717
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: done with that. That's that's that's not even what was

718
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 1: on my mind. Case. I can't believe you would think that.

719
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 1: On my mind is how does a man in his

720
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:46,720
Speaker 1: late twenties have so little body hair? Um, you're gonna

721
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: have to talk to my grandpa about that. I think

722
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 1: the hair gene comes from your mom's dad. You have

723
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 1: great hair in your head, but very little on your body. Yeah,

724
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,359
Speaker 1: don't you don't man escape, you don't groom. I mean

725
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 1: I do, just a quick little trim, but it doesn't

726
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:05,280
Speaker 1: take much on your chest? Are down there? I mean everywhere? Actually?

727
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 1: Actually I know are PG but APG. But I just

728
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 1: think it's interesting to ask about manscaping. Mandscaping is it's

729
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 1: an art? Not really, It's pretty simple if you're not

730
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 1: I'm not a hairy guy. That's really the bottom line.

731
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 1: I'm not a hairy guy. Robbie is a rather hairy individual. Yeah,

732
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 1: and he doesn't have much body hair and his pictures either,

733
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: which confuses me. Moving on, Um, we got to move

734
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 1: on to this topic then that I was hoping I

735
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: could lead into it with did you man escape or

736
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: did you groom? Four? But it doesn't sound like you

737
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 1: really need to. Um, so good for you. Keep it up,

738
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: keep keep you know, being being hairless. Would you have

739
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 1: manscaped for the Fantasy Suite? Yeah, if you needed to, Yeah,

740
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:53,839
Speaker 1: you would have groomed up? Yeah clean, But he did.

741
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 1: He had to prepare himself for it because he got

742
00:37:56,360 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: into it almost I got into it, and then I

743
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 1: got out of it a lot quicker than everybody else. Yeah,

744
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 1: you didn't get to the point where the camera's left. Yeah,

745
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: the door never closed. How do you feel in that moment? Um,

746
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:16,439
Speaker 1: that was obviously the heaviest, hardest moment of the entire

747
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: show for me, you know it was. It was the

748
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:22,359
Speaker 1: biggest confusing piece I went through because I had no

749
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 1: idea why that would be the time Jojo would decide

750
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 1: to send me home. Mhm. I mean this week we're

751
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:31,320
Speaker 1: entering into the reason we're talking fantasy sweets, Jase. I

752
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 1: don't know if you're staying up to date with the

753
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:36,720
Speaker 1: Bachelor or not, but we're entering into Fantasy Suite week, um,

754
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 1: which I think is a huge week, especially for the

755
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: decisions coming as they come down to the end and

756
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 1: getting this time away from the rest of the group

757
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: and the cameras. Um. What I guess, how did you

758
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 1: feel about now looking back? How do you feel about

759
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 1: how Jojo handled the Fantasy suitees and especially especially your situation?

760
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 1: And then how do you feel like Rachel is handling

761
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 1: everything up in like up to the Fantasy Suite everything

762
00:38:59,920 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 1: you seen so far? Um, you know, I think Joe,

763
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 1: Joe did I mean, I guess she did it. She

764
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:09,839
Speaker 1: did a good job of handling handling the Fantasy suite,

765
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 1: So I wish it was a different outcome. I would

766
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 1: like to believe that maybe if she would have given

767
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 1: me the Fantasy Suite for the rest of the night,

768
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: maybe it would have been a completely different outcome. But

769
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 1: who knows. Um. And then from what I've seen, I mean,

770
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 1: Rachel's been taking this entire season seriously and she's not

771
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 1: messing around, and I expect her to handle the fantasy

772
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 1: Suite and that exact same manner if there was. So

773
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 1: if if there's a girl that you've met so far

774
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: in Bachelor Nation that you would want to day or

775
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 1: you could see yourself potentially going on a date with

776
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 1: and being interested in, who would be Yum, you didn't

777
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 1: go to Paradise this season. I know last time we

778
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: were here, we were, you know, really hinting at the

779
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 1: fact that you would be, but it turns out you didn't. Um,

780
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 1: was that because there weren't any girls that you were

781
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 1: really interested in dating that you hadn't met yet. I

782
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 1: think that was that was a have a piece of

783
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 1: it for sure. I mean, just right now, I'm not

784
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 1: seeing the maturity in many of the girls in the

785
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 1: Bachelor Nation franchise that I'm attracted to, I guess, but

786
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,800
Speaker 1: you have to pick one. I don't know if I do.

787
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 1: Do I you do. It's part of the contract that

788
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:21,280
Speaker 1: we didn't have you sid um and you said girls

789
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 1: that I've met, because there's obviously a handful that I

790
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,879
Speaker 1: have not. I got an easy answer for you. She's

791
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 1: sitting right next Yeah. Actually, I right, of course. I

792
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 1: mean you can wetly such a fun trip together to

793
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 1: Miami about a month ago, you're the bit the best

794
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: trip partner. We did have a great time in Miami.

795
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 1: That was fun. It was fun, and I think both

796
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 1: of us had low expectations and then we've all had

797
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 1: a blast. Actually actually, and I do make a pretty

798
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 1: good travel doing. Yeah, it sounds like I mean, actually

799
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 1: came back just ecstatic from that trip. Um. So, Chase,

800
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 1: you mentioned that there's not any women then in Bachelor

801
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 1: Nation that you might be interested in dating other than Ashley. Um,

802
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 1: what do you think then? I don't know if you

803
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 1: meant any of them Of the last three guys in

804
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:05,920
Speaker 1: Rachel's season, Peter, Brian and Eric Oh, yeah, Um, I

805
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 1: have not met any of them from what I've seen.

806
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 1: I like Peter. I think Peter's pretty cool guy. I

807
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 1: think Peter and you would get along very easily. You

808
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: seem to have the same demeanor. Yeah, yeah, I would.

809
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 1: I would like to meet Peter Um And then I

810
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: hate to admit it, but I haven't been following that

811
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 1: closely to have a great opinion on Eric and Brian.

812
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,839
Speaker 1: But I've heard great things about Brian. You and Dean

813
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 1: both live in Venice. You guys need to go hang

814
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 1: out at the Fat House. Yeah, Dean actually still lives

815
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 1: with one of my really really good friends from college.

816
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 1: That is such a small world. I don't know. Yeah,

817
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,319
Speaker 1: I met him this weekend. Yeah, so Jackson I think

818
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 1: is going to be on the Hometown. He's not. He

819
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:49,360
Speaker 1: flew there. Dean was telling me about a part at

820
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,879
Speaker 1: the Hometown that didn't get shown, and that was when

821
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 1: Rachel went and met a whole bunch of his friends. Right,

822
00:41:55,280 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 1: Jackson's probably gonna be upset about that. He watched this

823
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 1: week and was probably so sad. It was like his

824
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:05,759
Speaker 1: moment to shine and it just gets completely cut out.

825
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: So you're kind of I guess you're back in l

826
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:13,240
Speaker 1: a Um you're still running a couple of companies. Um,

827
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: are are these companies going well for you? Are you

828
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 1: in a good place in life? Can you give us

829
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: an update on kind of where chases at? Yeah? Yeah, um,

830
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 1: companies are going great. The only one that is really

831
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 1: out there right now is you know, my my leisure

832
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 1: a Letics. It's that athletic company, athletic wear company, and

833
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 1: that's going fantastic. Um. But more so than that, I'm

834
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 1: focusing a lot on kind of the fitness side of things.

835
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:37,720
Speaker 1: I'm actually gearing up to launch a full fitness site,

836
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: personal training site, and then uh, probably gonna be doing

837
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 1: an online fitness challenge here in the next couple of months.

838
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: So time out. I'm sorry to bring this back up.

839
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: Does does this mean more shirtless pictures? I mean that's

840
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: the only way, man. For you. This is when you

841
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 1: do get a girlfriend, you think he's gonna get annoyed

842
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:03,479
Speaker 1: at all your shirtless pictures, Well, she won't be my girlfriend.

843
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 1: I need a girlfriend with confidence security. Yeah. First off,

844
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 1: you mentioned the word confidence. I'm starting to sit here

845
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:14,760
Speaker 1: and question my own confidence because I think of myself,

846
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:18,320
Speaker 1: you know, being out there fully exposed to the world

847
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 1: so often and the criticisms and the comments that come

848
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 1: back could be so harsh that I think I'm I'm

849
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 1: fearful of those. So maybe all the this issue with

850
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 1: me and your just amount of nipple picks that get

851
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 1: posted on your Instagram, that's just me being super insecure.

852
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: You have nice nipples, Well they're not They're not intended

853
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:43,839
Speaker 1: for you to be insecure. They're intended to be motivational.

854
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 1: Oh wow, let's get you working out there. Let's get

855
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 1: you super jacks for summer next year, and you can

856
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 1: have some shirtless photos rocket on your page too. Oh wait,

857
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:58,800
Speaker 1: I want to talk about captions and stuff like how

858
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:02,840
Speaker 1: hard do you feel your inspirational captions? How hard do

859
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 1: I feel them? Yeah? Like where do you get them from?

860
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 1: Where does it come? A lot of a lot of

861
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 1: them come from some of some of my favorite books. Um,

862
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 1: I don't google them, but know that they come from

863
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 1: most of my books, or or just some of the

864
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:21,280
Speaker 1: philosophies and stuff that I've grown up believing and talking about. Actually,

865
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 1: my mom's pretty inspirational a lot of the time, so

866
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 1: I consult her um on a daily basis, So some

867
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:30,320
Speaker 1: of those come from her. And then just whatever I'm

868
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:33,400
Speaker 1: feeling kind of that day and what might make sense?

869
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,319
Speaker 1: So where you hope this goes? Chase? I mean, in

870
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:40,319
Speaker 1: all seriousness, you're You've mentioned the word here. You're trying

871
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:43,319
Speaker 1: to motivate your starting a fitness brand where you're gonna

872
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 1: help people get healthier. You started an athletic were company. Um,

873
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:49,800
Speaker 1: you just got back. It sounds like from a trip

874
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,799
Speaker 1: that was not only spiritual, but it was good, it

875
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 1: was physical and it was good for your mind. Um,

876
00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 1: where do you hope all this goes? Like? What's what's

877
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:01,919
Speaker 1: next for you? Um? So it all kind of goes

878
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 1: back to a couple of months or a couple of

879
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Actually I got my first UM cover of

880
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:11,360
Speaker 1: a magazine and fitness magazine. So you know, I'm really

881
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:14,200
Speaker 1: finally settling into something that I'm I'm passionate about, that

882
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 1: I'm excited about. And having that for me is it's

883
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 1: different because you know, medical device sales what I did

884
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 1: before the show, um, and and that was fun, that

885
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 1: was challenging, that was a rewarding career, but but I

886
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:28,319
Speaker 1: never really had that full passion there. But now I

887
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 1: can kind of dive into this fitness world where I

888
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 1: can actually give some of my knowledge back to everybody

889
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 1: and help people achieve new goals for themselves. Um, and

890
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 1: that's that's what I'm excited about. Would you ever think

891
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 1: about opening your own studio? Yeah? Absolutely, I mean I'm

892
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 1: actually in conversations it's probably a long way out, but

893
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:47,799
Speaker 1: in conversations with a few different people about doing that.

894
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 1: My final question because I don't necessarily get into this

895
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 1: world too much, and I'm proud of you for doing

896
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 1: it because it's it is crazy and I see your

897
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 1: pictures all the time and yeah, you got muscles in

898
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 1: places I don't is good for you and that work up?

899
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 1: How often? I mean for Ashley and I we're both

900
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:09,759
Speaker 1: very interested in this, Um, how often do you lift? Like?

901
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 1: How oft do you work out? I guess a good

902
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 1: question for our listeners out there because we get a

903
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 1: lot of emails on questions about diet and habit because

904
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 1: a lot of people do The Bachelor and just in

905
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:20,439
Speaker 1: great shape, So like, how often do you work out?

906
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 1: And then to close out this segment with you, if

907
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 1: you could give any tip to any of the listeners

908
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:27,839
Speaker 1: we have out there, what would that tip be? Yeah,

909
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 1: so you know, coming off the show, you you kind

910
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 1: of get sucked into a lot of the traveling and

911
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 1: the partying and all that stuff. So last summer and

912
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:37,400
Speaker 1: even into the winter, I started to just kind of

913
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:39,320
Speaker 1: lose myself a little bit, even you know, my body,

914
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 1: and I started feeling weak and depleted. So then you know,

915
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 1: I got back into it. So to answer your question,

916
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:46,719
Speaker 1: I do I work out every day. Um. I try

917
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:49,239
Speaker 1: and get at least an hour in. Sometimes I'll do

918
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 1: cardi in the morning and lift at night. But just

919
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 1: trying to try and sweat every day is one of

920
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:56,319
Speaker 1: my main philosophies. Um. As long as you can do that,

921
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 1: I think that you're gonna you know, see results and

922
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:02,319
Speaker 1: see progression and be up here and healthier. Um. And

923
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 1: then my one advice I would say for anybody listening

924
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 1: is is if you are in the gym and you

925
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 1: are working out and you're getting that that routine going. Um.

926
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:11,720
Speaker 1: You know, one of my favorite quotes is don't stop

927
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 1: when you're tired, stop when you're done. Make sure and

928
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:17,959
Speaker 1: have a have a well planned out workout and get

929
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:19,920
Speaker 1: through that whole thing no matter how tired you are,

930
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:23,919
Speaker 1: every set, every rep until the end. Well, uh, Chase,

931
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 1: I think your quote is going to be a quote

932
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:27,320
Speaker 1: we should keep for this podcast. We're not going to

933
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:29,879
Speaker 1: quit when we get tired. We're gonna quit when we're done.

980
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:09,920
Speaker 1: tell us a rundown of the magic that existed between

981
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:13,600
Speaker 1: you and Ashley this weekend. I didn't say anything about this, Luke,

982
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:17,280
Speaker 1: we have some magic. This segaind the magical weekend in Tahoe.

983
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 1: It was. It was so much fun, and it sounds

984
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:23,080
Speaker 1: like it was great. Now we had a we had

985
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:25,800
Speaker 1: a great weekend. Tyho is amazing. That's my first summer

986
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 1: experience in Tahoe, and that place is like heaven on earth, unbelievable,

987
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 1: the water of crystal clear. I could spend every summer

988
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:35,719
Speaker 1: there would be awesome. Hey, look, you you met your

989
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:38,319
Speaker 1: runner up, basically like the guy who followed you, Dean.

990
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 1: He was fourth place this season in your fourth place

991
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 1: your season. So you guys, probably you're able to bond

992
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 1: over that position and it is a position so very

993
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:49,719
Speaker 1: close to fantasy suites but doesn't really make it there.

994
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:53,440
Speaker 1: How much frustration frustration do you feel that you didn't

995
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:56,600
Speaker 1: make it there to get that a long opportunity And

996
00:50:56,640 --> 00:51:00,319
Speaker 1: how much did you and Dean bond over it? Yeah,

997
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:04,120
Speaker 1: you know I think that, Um, it's interesting meeting being

998
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:07,560
Speaker 1: and knowing that he's gone through the same thing um

999
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 1: that that I did last season, and uh, you know

1000
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 1: it's a weird spot to be in because um, you know,

1001
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:16,680
Speaker 1: it was even more weird I think for Chase um

1002
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:21,400
Speaker 1: having gone to the fantasy suite date and like really

1003
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:24,960
Speaker 1: not having the actual fantasy swee can get sit home.

1004
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 1: But you know, for us it was I think it

1005
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 1: was probably a lot of shock, and I think you

1006
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 1: know it was for me at least and probably for Dean.

1007
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 1: It's just that you kind of you it's you know,

1008
00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 1: when you get to the top four, I think that

1009
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:39,240
Speaker 1: that's where things really get weird because the top four people,

1010
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 1: I feel like the lead really has very very similar

1011
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 1: feelings for and so you know, up until that point,

1012
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:48,920
Speaker 1: you kind of know where that you kind of feel comfortable,

1013
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:51,920
Speaker 1: you know that your connection is strong. Um and even

1014
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 1: even when you have the hometown date at least I think,

1015
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:57,840
Speaker 1: you know, for some people, maybe they know the hometowns

1016
00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 1: don't go well or whatever, um, and maybe they know

1017
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 1: what's coming. Um. For me, my mom town went really

1018
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:09,680
Speaker 1: well or seemingly really well. It was a shock. Yeah, So, Luke,

1019
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 1: you had the greatest home down Ever, that was when

1020
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 1: you're real Nicholas Sparks shining star moment came through for me.

1021
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:20,120
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't remember this how so yeah,

1022
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:22,319
Speaker 1: tell what you tell you tell about what you did

1023
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 1: for your hometown. So there was a Greys Anatomy episode,

1024
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 1: which I mean, every girl likes Grays Anatomy, right, Oh

1025
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 1: my god. He keeps getting better better with every single

1026
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:37,839
Speaker 1: were they like outlined their their future home where they

1027
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:40,319
Speaker 1: wanted to raise their family and like outlined it and

1028
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:42,279
Speaker 1: candles or whatever. They're like this, who kids are gonna play?

1029
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 1: This is going to kitchen anyway, So we simplified that

1030
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 1: and I did this whole like laid out a heart

1031
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:49,600
Speaker 1: and rose pedals and candles and and it was out,

1032
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:53,439
Speaker 1: you know, my parents ranch in Texas and looking back people,

1033
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:56,240
Speaker 1: you know, I invited more people to the like family

1034
00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 1: barbecue cause that's something that we traditionally did UM and

1035
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 1: that I think people are like, well, that probably scared her.

1036
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 1: That was like too many people to invite over to

1037
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 1: the hometown date or whatever, and that's fine, um, But anyway,

1038
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:09,440
Speaker 1: like it was just it felt really comfortable. It felt like,

1039
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:13,080
Speaker 1: you know, my my family connected um with Jojo and

1040
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:15,520
Speaker 1: I saw vice versa at least from that day and

1041
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:18,440
Speaker 1: what we talked about in our conversations. But anyway, needless

1042
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:20,200
Speaker 1: to say, you know, I guess she didn't fill it

1043
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:21,880
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, and that was something

1044
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:24,400
Speaker 1: that you know, back to back to that shock scenario,

1045
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 1: is that I didn't realize that, you know, because I

1046
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:29,840
Speaker 1: knew that you know, she had um, you know, strong

1047
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:31,799
Speaker 1: feelings for me, but she also had it for the

1048
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:34,479
Speaker 1: other three guys as well. So that's why going into

1049
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 1: that um you know roads certain money where I went home,

1050
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 1: it was just such a shock. I didn't see it coming.

1051
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:42,800
Speaker 1: So I'm probably very similar feeling to what what Dean felt.

1052
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:46,239
Speaker 1: So no one saw you you leaving, no one saw it,

1053
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:52,280
Speaker 1: crushing moment, one of the prize things that ever happened.

1054
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:55,040
Speaker 1: Do you remember I mean that going down? I know,

1055
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:57,279
Speaker 1: I remember going back to Caitlin season when I was

1056
00:53:57,320 --> 00:53:59,080
Speaker 1: on the Bachelorette, and I tried to think back to

1057
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:01,160
Speaker 1: the night that I was, like and I don't really

1058
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 1: remember it because it was such a culture shock or

1059
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:06,000
Speaker 1: emotional shock, because all of a sudden, you you're in

1060
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:08,239
Speaker 1: this world that you've been in for months and then

1061
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:12,319
Speaker 1: you're just and it's over. Yeah, yeah, it definitely is that.

1062
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:14,200
Speaker 1: I think, you know, it takes a little bit to

1063
00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 1: get accustomed to the whole um, day to day rhythm,

1064
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:19,440
Speaker 1: how things are going, and then all of a sudden,

1065
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 1: now the day you're sent home, everything is completely new

1066
00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:24,360
Speaker 1: and you're trying to adapt, Like, I don't even know

1067
00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:26,759
Speaker 1: how to feel right now. I'm now I know now

1068
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:28,960
Speaker 1: that I'm out of it, what's happened next? You don't know,

1069
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:30,719
Speaker 1: like hour by hour, what's going to be the next

1070
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:33,680
Speaker 1: you know, undoing of of your presence on the show,

1071
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:37,320
Speaker 1: and so anyway, um, yeah, it's a it's a weird situation.

1072
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:40,000
Speaker 1: So then you were how did you go home? I

1073
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:41,680
Speaker 1: was actually I went home at third So it was

1074
00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:45,040
Speaker 1: after Fantasy Suites. I had I had been there through

1075
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:46,799
Speaker 1: Fantasy Suits and then I was let go at the

1076
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:50,759
Speaker 1: Rose ceremony. Uh in in Ireland, and so when I

1077
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 1: was let go, Um, it was a shock to me

1078
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:55,959
Speaker 1: because I didn't know, you know, for weeks, you hadn't

1079
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:57,719
Speaker 1: I hadn't seen any of the other people Nick or

1080
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:00,040
Speaker 1: shot at the time, and so all of the and

1081
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:01,560
Speaker 1: you walk into the room, you see them for the

1082
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 1: first time in weeks. Then you're sent home and within

1083
00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:06,719
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of hours, I was in a

1084
00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:10,640
Speaker 1: hotel room without any cameras, any producers. I was done.

1085
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:13,800
Speaker 1: And and I think for me it was I remember

1086
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:16,360
Speaker 1: I face timed a couple of days later one of

1087
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:18,680
Speaker 1: my best friends and and he builded this day we'll

1088
00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:23,280
Speaker 1: talk about how weird I was, Like I was emotionally drained,

1089
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:28,520
Speaker 1: physically drained and confused, um, because this this world that

1090
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:30,560
Speaker 1: you start living in, you get used to it and

1091
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:34,520
Speaker 1: and you don't know how to exit out of it easily. Yeah. Absolutely,

1092
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 1: it was very similar for me. Um. I didn't realize until,

1093
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:41,520
Speaker 1: you know, those first few days after getting sent home,

1094
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:46,560
Speaker 1: how how deeply you know, I was in that emotional channel,

1095
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:48,279
Speaker 1: Like I mean, I was like, oh my gosh, like

1096
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:50,760
Speaker 1: I'm having like anxiety attacks stuff. And I didn't didn't

1097
00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:53,440
Speaker 1: mentally feel like that, but I was emotionally in that space.

1098
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:55,640
Speaker 1: I didn't even realize it until I haven't got a

1099
00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:57,880
Speaker 1: lot of closure. I don't know if you feel like this,

1100
00:55:57,920 --> 00:56:01,120
Speaker 1: but but there's a lot of closure because is for me,

1101
00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:04,000
Speaker 1: I said goodbye to Caitlin and I never I mean

1102
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:06,960
Speaker 1: after the fifteen minutes that we talked that I didn't

1103
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:09,279
Speaker 1: see her again for months, And I know for you,

1104
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:10,920
Speaker 1: for you and Jojo, you probably didn't see he again

1105
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:14,920
Speaker 1: until the mentel all yeah, yeah, exactly. I have a

1106
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,960
Speaker 1: question for you guys, which I'm dragged by what we

1107
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:22,280
Speaker 1: were both so invested emotionally in these two respective women.

1108
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 1: Were you ready to propose? Because we see Peter right

1109
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:28,680
Speaker 1: now and he's at the stage that you guys were at,

1110
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:34,279
Speaker 1: and he's really doesn't seem like he is. Yeah, you know,

1111
00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:37,360
Speaker 1: I've from what I've watched the season, um, it seems

1112
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:40,239
Speaker 1: like the guys are showing or at least voicing a

1113
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:43,200
Speaker 1: lot of reservation here. You know, I feel like Dean

1114
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:45,959
Speaker 1: and Peter both are like, oh, this is my fear,

1115
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:48,680
Speaker 1: this is my fear, and uh, you know, for me,

1116
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:51,279
Speaker 1: like that wasn't even really a conversation that that was

1117
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:53,040
Speaker 1: what was a shocker for me. It wasn't the conversation

1118
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:55,000
Speaker 1: that I even had with Jojo, Like I didn't talk

1119
00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:57,879
Speaker 1: about like my concerns, didn't feel like I could even

1120
00:56:57,880 --> 00:56:59,880
Speaker 1: get there. And now that was huge. I was like,

1121
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:02,880
Speaker 1: I was going there like a lot of introduce you

1122
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:05,040
Speaker 1: to my family. If I feel like she's soot confident

1123
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:07,319
Speaker 1: in that, I both I felt confident in that, then

1124
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:10,080
Speaker 1: we can keep moving forward. You know, it's just taking

1125
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:13,160
Speaker 1: it day by day at that point. But um, but yeah,

1126
00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:16,040
Speaker 1: I've never showed any concern. She never really like voice

1127
00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 1: any concern. It just all happened, you know. Um And

1128
00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:22,200
Speaker 1: and at one road ceremony, So Luke might be answering

1129
00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:26,200
Speaker 1: that perfectly. It's I don't I don't blame these guys,

1130
00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:28,480
Speaker 1: and I don't think any viewers should for having reservations

1131
00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:30,560
Speaker 1: or concerns. They're not saying, hey I don't like Rachel,

1132
00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:32,000
Speaker 1: and hey I don't see a future with Rachel. I

1133
00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:35,320
Speaker 1: don't want to explore future with Rachel. What they're saying

1134
00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:37,680
Speaker 1: is I just we haven't even gotten there yet, like that,

1135
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:39,919
Speaker 1: we haven't had the opportunity to talk about it yet.

1136
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:42,680
Speaker 1: And how am I supposed to enter into an engagement

1137
00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:45,840
Speaker 1: with somebody when I haven't even asked a question what

1138
00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:48,480
Speaker 1: do they want out of a marriage? And and and

1139
00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:51,200
Speaker 1: we don't have those opportunities. So I think for me, Um,

1140
00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:54,280
Speaker 1: you know, when when I was with Caitlin, I don't

1141
00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:55,880
Speaker 1: know if I had even thought about it yet. And

1142
00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:57,880
Speaker 1: then that doesn't mean that I wasn't ready. It just

1143
00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:01,000
Speaker 1: means that like I was trying to survive by even

1144
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:05,400
Speaker 1: figuring out what world I was living in. Yeah, that's

1145
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:08,680
Speaker 1: completely true. So one day at a time, one day

1146
00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:10,400
Speaker 1: at a time, and in one moment at a time,

1147
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:14,280
Speaker 1: one interaction at a time. UM, I know how I

1148
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:16,480
Speaker 1: would would answer this, and I know how I felt like,

1149
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:18,560
Speaker 1: you guys are beating the bush. What would you have done?

1150
00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:24,280
Speaker 1: I don't completely imposed. Yeah, yeah, I don't even think

1151
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:26,360
Speaker 1: that would have been Like I don't know at that

1152
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:28,680
Speaker 1: time if I would have, I don't think I would

1153
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:31,880
Speaker 1: have not proposed like I would have been. Um, I

1154
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 1: can't say that. I think with Caitlin, I had a

1155
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 1: lot of questions just on you know, who she wanted,

1156
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:39,880
Speaker 1: and I also knew it's different because I knew was Caitlin.

1157
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:42,800
Speaker 1: She was so into Sean that it felt weird for

1158
00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:47,200
Speaker 1: me to even still be there because yeah, exactly, so

1159
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:50,000
Speaker 1: I knew how much they cared for each other. And

1160
00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:53,280
Speaker 1: so for me, I don't think I could have just proposed,

1161
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:56,520
Speaker 1: because it would have felt like something would have had

1162
00:58:56,600 --> 00:58:58,240
Speaker 1: had to happen to make it clear to me that

1163
00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:02,640
Speaker 1: she almost would have felt it was a joke on me, like, yeah, hey, Ben,

1164
00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:04,520
Speaker 1: I chose you, but I really in love with the

1165
00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:06,000
Speaker 1: guy that I just sent home, Like that would have

1166
00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:08,400
Speaker 1: made sense to me. Um, I knew she really cared

1167
00:59:08,400 --> 00:59:10,120
Speaker 1: about him, and I was just trying to figure out

1168
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:13,040
Speaker 1: if he was even still around because like we mentioned,

1169
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:14,760
Speaker 1: for weeks, you don't see the other contests. You don't

1170
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:17,000
Speaker 1: even know if they're there still not right, But Luke,

1171
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:18,840
Speaker 1: you seem pretty firm on your answer you would have

1172
00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:22,680
Speaker 1: proposed to Jojo. Yeah, absolutely, Like that was like I mean,

1173
00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:24,360
Speaker 1: I was planning like the next day, like I was

1174
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:26,200
Speaker 1: thinking about what I'm gonna say that the conversation was

1175
00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:28,760
Speaker 1: going than to go. Like I was so like you know,

1176
00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:31,800
Speaker 1: moving forward and emotionally in my head. And so that's

1177
00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:34,919
Speaker 1: why you know that all that's one of the shock.

1178
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:36,920
Speaker 1: And I mean, if they edited it like that, it

1179
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:39,120
Speaker 1: looked like chock if it was, maybe that was the

1180
00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:42,760
Speaker 1: whole thing is it was just keyed up to be, um,

1181
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:45,680
Speaker 1: you know, the biggest dramatic Monday night, and that's that's

1182
00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:47,320
Speaker 1: kind of what I walked right into. But I don't

1183
00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:50,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. Wow, do you wish I mean, Luke,

1184
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:53,960
Speaker 1: are you glad that that Joe Joe handled the way

1185
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:55,600
Speaker 1: she did? Like I mean, if she knew that she

1186
00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:58,360
Speaker 1: was gonna pick Jordan's, are you glad she sent you home?

1187
00:59:58,480 --> 00:59:59,920
Speaker 1: Or do you just wish you could have been been

1188
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,840
Speaker 1: around a little bit longer? Um? You know, I I

1189
01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:06,240
Speaker 1: think that I wish it would have been with her

1190
01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:10,080
Speaker 1: first instinct and like gone like whoever she feels. I mean,

1191
01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:11,720
Speaker 1: I think that's a strategy you have to have as

1192
01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:14,040
Speaker 1: a lead, and you probably have had. You've had to

1193
01:00:14,080 --> 01:00:15,920
Speaker 1: deal with that, like are you going to have kind

1194
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:18,160
Speaker 1: of a quote unquote burn card where the decision is

1195
01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:19,800
Speaker 1: easier for you at the very end, of course, but

1196
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:23,280
Speaker 1: for you, you know, it was between Jojoe and Lauren,

1197
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:25,240
Speaker 1: so you were like, I don't know what I'm to do.

1198
01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:27,360
Speaker 1: I don't gonna do Like that whole conversation was going on.

1199
01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:29,280
Speaker 1: So I think some people are like, oh, well, if

1200
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:32,320
Speaker 1: I make this hard decision earlier than the last decision,

1201
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 1: won't be as hard on me, you know. And and

1202
01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:37,680
Speaker 1: I guess that's what she did. And you know, for me,

1203
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:39,240
Speaker 1: if I was in her and shoes, I think I

1204
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:43,280
Speaker 1: would have like to have given every you know, everyone

1205
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:45,400
Speaker 1: an equal chance. I'll wait to the end and make

1206
01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:47,360
Speaker 1: that decision to be sure that I made the right one,

1207
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:50,360
Speaker 1: you know, because those those those last few dates are

1208
01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:53,120
Speaker 1: the most meaningful in the connection as the greatest and

1209
01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:57,920
Speaker 1: you know the most about those people. So I don't know, No,

1210
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:00,880
Speaker 1: you're right. I mean, I know how hard it is

1211
01:01:00,880 --> 01:01:03,240
Speaker 1: in those moments to make those decisions. And so however

1212
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:05,600
Speaker 1: Jojo handled it, we gotta say she handled it correctly

1213
01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:08,520
Speaker 1: because she's happy now and she's she's worked out for

1214
01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:10,760
Speaker 1: her UM. But I know, you know, somebody that kind

1215
01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:12,920
Speaker 1: of stands out to me would Ben Uh. And she's

1216
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:14,480
Speaker 1: a great friend of mine and a great guest on

1217
01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:17,200
Speaker 1: the show is Becca Tilly. I had I said goodbye

1218
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:20,960
Speaker 1: to her, um, you know, when we're still in Worse Indiana.

1219
01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:23,280
Speaker 1: So she was going home a couple of weeks even

1220
01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:27,560
Speaker 1: before Fantasy Suites, because I knew that my feelings for

1221
01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:30,320
Speaker 1: the other women were stronger than my feelings for her,

1222
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:32,480
Speaker 1: even though there was you know, she was still up there,

1223
01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:35,000
Speaker 1: like she could have still been around for a long time.

1224
01:01:35,360 --> 01:01:37,000
Speaker 1: But I knew that I didn't want to put somebody

1225
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:40,560
Speaker 1: like Becca through any more turmoil or any more any

1226
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:44,080
Speaker 1: more any confusion. I would just rather make that decision then,

1227
01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:46,720
Speaker 1: because I knew how hard it would be to make later. Yeah,

1228
01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:48,360
Speaker 1: what what do you what are you doing that? Actually?

1229
01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:50,960
Speaker 1: Do you like you have your two closest people at

1230
01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:52,880
Speaker 1: the very end and try to make that decision a

1231
01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:54,960
Speaker 1: hard decision for yourself, or you try to make that

1232
01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:58,440
Speaker 1: decision easier for yourself by sending someone else home earlier.

1233
01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:01,440
Speaker 1: I think I would have to keep them ball to

1234
01:02:01,480 --> 01:02:04,040
Speaker 1: the end. I don't think i'd be being easy on

1235
01:02:04,080 --> 01:02:07,640
Speaker 1: anyone for just like their sake, because I do feel,

1236
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:10,240
Speaker 1: like Rachel's pointed out in the Bath, She's like, this

1237
01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:12,680
Speaker 1: is kind of the time that I have to be selfish.

1238
01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:15,760
Speaker 1: So if I really actually thought I needed more time

1239
01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:19,560
Speaker 1: with one of these guys, just a further give clarity

1240
01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:21,800
Speaker 1: to myself, then I'd really need to keep him around

1241
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:26,360
Speaker 1: for that, right. But if I don't know, if I

1242
01:02:26,440 --> 01:02:29,920
Speaker 1: was set in the way that I think that Caitlin

1243
01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:33,720
Speaker 1: was so set. I feel like I would have let

1244
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:38,120
Speaker 1: Ben go at a time before like the final get

1245
01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:44,200
Speaker 1: down one knee no no, no, no, but I would

1246
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:46,160
Speaker 1: have let you go on when I guess I'm thinking

1247
01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:50,320
Speaker 1: like personally, I would have kept like Ben, Jared, and

1248
01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:54,560
Speaker 1: Sean as my top three nick but like those would

1249
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 1: have been my top three from that season, and I

1250
01:02:56,520 --> 01:03:00,960
Speaker 1: would have been like, Okay, I don't know. You guys

1251
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:04,920
Speaker 1: are so many feelings involved. So you're living, You're living.

1252
01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:07,640
Speaker 1: Actually you understand this. It's hard to be the Bachelor. Bachelor.

1253
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:09,600
Speaker 1: We've got to give these people some grace and some

1254
01:03:09,640 --> 01:03:13,280
Speaker 1: credit because they're trying really hard to make correct decisions. Um.

1255
01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:17,240
Speaker 1: Look that brings into my next question. Okay, I know

1256
01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:19,560
Speaker 1: you're a busy man, and I want to talk about

1257
01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:23,520
Speaker 1: your tour in a second because I have some exciting

1258
01:03:23,560 --> 01:03:26,080
Speaker 1: announcement to make about your tour that you know, I'm

1259
01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:29,560
Speaker 1: really pumped out. Um, but if you were asked to

1260
01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:31,480
Speaker 1: be Okay, so there's this is a two part question.

1261
01:03:31,720 --> 01:03:33,440
Speaker 1: First off, do you have a girlfriend or not? And

1262
01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:36,040
Speaker 1: if you don't, if you ask to be the Bachelor again,

1263
01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:40,680
Speaker 1: would you do it? Yeah? So you know, I, first

1264
01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:44,320
Speaker 1: of all, um, after the way things kind of fell

1265
01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:48,400
Speaker 1: out last year, you know, the relationship between me and

1266
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:51,600
Speaker 1: and um, you know, the production companies, it kind of

1267
01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:54,320
Speaker 1: went awry, um right at the very end, and everybody

1268
01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:56,760
Speaker 1: knows that. So I kind of just at that point

1269
01:03:56,800 --> 01:03:59,440
Speaker 1: started trying to mentally move on and emotionally just move

1270
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:02,600
Speaker 1: on from that process and being in that role. And

1271
01:04:02,600 --> 01:04:04,280
Speaker 1: I didn't want to hang onto it and like try

1272
01:04:04,320 --> 01:04:06,480
Speaker 1: to wait another year and see what happens or anything.

1273
01:04:06,520 --> 01:04:09,760
Speaker 1: So um. You know. So with that being said, that

1274
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:11,480
Speaker 1: was that was that was kind of phase one. And

1275
01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:13,880
Speaker 1: then too you know, I've made myself available start dating,

1276
01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:17,160
Speaker 1: and I have started dating again and yeah, and and

1277
01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:19,960
Speaker 1: so I am dating someone and um, yeah, so that's

1278
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:24,000
Speaker 1: just not oh you are dating somebody. Yeah, I am

1279
01:04:24,080 --> 01:04:27,760
Speaker 1: good for you. Good for you, man, that's awesome. Things

1280
01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:30,080
Speaker 1: that you know for me is because in the cards,

1281
01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:33,400
Speaker 1: you know, so um. But you know, I think that

1282
01:04:34,520 --> 01:04:36,880
Speaker 1: you know, somebody's going to be in that right place

1283
01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:39,040
Speaker 1: and that right season where it's open for them. And

1284
01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:40,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's going to be you know,

1285
01:04:40,680 --> 01:04:43,760
Speaker 1: somebody from the past season which they're showing now that

1286
01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:46,680
Speaker 1: you know from pulling Nick from a past season last

1287
01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:48,520
Speaker 1: year that they're open to that, and it doesn't have

1288
01:04:48,600 --> 01:04:50,680
Speaker 1: to be somebody from the you know, current season that's

1289
01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:53,320
Speaker 1: a runner up. But um but I don't know that

1290
01:04:53,520 --> 01:04:55,880
Speaker 1: that would be interesting to see how that unfolds this year.

1291
01:04:55,920 --> 01:04:59,240
Speaker 1: For sure it will. Um well, I have to add,

1292
01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:02,240
Speaker 1: we already started training for the Winter Games, so you

1293
01:05:02,240 --> 01:05:03,919
Speaker 1: would be open to that if they asked you back

1294
01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:06,600
Speaker 1: for that, right. I'm still trying to understand the whole

1295
01:05:06,600 --> 01:05:08,600
Speaker 1: concept of what's going to happen with this Winter Game,

1296
01:05:08,760 --> 01:05:11,160
Speaker 1: but it is intriguing, Like it sounds. It sounds like

1297
01:05:11,160 --> 01:05:13,080
Speaker 1: a lot of fun because like, I don't know, I

1298
01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:15,320
Speaker 1: think you guys probably feel the same way. I love

1299
01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:18,040
Speaker 1: hanging out with my Bachelor family, so like just like

1300
01:05:18,120 --> 01:05:21,000
Speaker 1: hanging out and doing stuff. So the Bachelor Games Winter

1301
01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:23,920
Speaker 1: Games thing, I'm intrigued to see what the details are

1302
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:25,760
Speaker 1: on it because it kind of sounds farn It was funny.

1303
01:05:25,800 --> 01:05:28,720
Speaker 1: I put on my instant story, you know, you having

1304
01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:31,000
Speaker 1: to try to get on the trampoline without a ladder,

1305
01:05:31,200 --> 01:05:33,960
Speaker 1: and I got so many people that were messaging me

1306
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:35,560
Speaker 1: throughout the day and it was like, wait, you live

Speaker 1: as on a Cliffhanger. Did he get on the trampoline

01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:29,479
Speaker 1: it's directed towards maybe both of us. All Right, so

1362
01:08:29,520 --> 01:08:32,360
Speaker 1: it's from Kate and says, hey, y'all. I love the

1363
01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:35,559
Speaker 1: care that Ben puts into saying things as kindly as possible,

1364
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:38,479
Speaker 1: and the way that he shows Jesus without even saying it.

1365
01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:41,519
Speaker 1: I love how Ashley is so vulnerable and relatable and

1366
01:08:41,560 --> 01:08:43,759
Speaker 1: makes people feel like they're not alone and have a friend.

1367
01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:47,280
Speaker 1: This is so sweet and one of the podcasts you

1368
01:08:47,400 --> 01:08:50,320
Speaker 1: asked for any ideas on what y'all should talk about,

1369
01:08:50,320 --> 01:08:52,360
Speaker 1: so I have a topic for you me sort of.

1370
01:08:52,880 --> 01:08:56,200
Speaker 1: It's been a common theme on both podcasts that Ashley

1371
01:08:56,240 --> 01:08:58,679
Speaker 1: has never had a boyfriend and it's still a virgin. Well,

1372
01:08:59,479 --> 01:09:03,640
Speaker 1: I take get one step further. I'm twenty five and

1373
01:09:03,760 --> 01:09:07,800
Speaker 1: haven't kissed anyone. Even typing it makes me want to

1374
01:09:07,840 --> 01:09:11,200
Speaker 1: die l O L. Now that I'm twenty five, I

1375
01:09:11,240 --> 01:09:13,320
Speaker 1: feel like I put a ton of pressure on the

1376
01:09:13,360 --> 01:09:16,040
Speaker 1: idea of my first kiss, my first relationship, and I

1377
01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:18,639
Speaker 1: feel like it's never gonna happen. I'm trying to trust

1378
01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:21,719
Speaker 1: God's timing, but it's getting annoying. Should I just forget

1379
01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:24,120
Speaker 1: it and go kiss some guy in a bar? Or

1380
01:09:24,160 --> 01:09:28,240
Speaker 1: should I wait for to be meaningful? My Instagram is well,

1381
01:09:28,360 --> 01:09:30,599
Speaker 1: we won't share it, and maybe there are some clues

1382
01:09:30,640 --> 01:09:34,200
Speaker 1: on there as to why I'm permanently single. Any advice

1383
01:09:34,280 --> 01:09:38,639
Speaker 1: would be awesome, Kate, Well, what a what a great email,

1384
01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:41,519
Speaker 1: what a great question? Um As, I think you should

1385
01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:43,800
Speaker 1: start this because I think you can finaly relate with Kate.

1386
01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:47,840
Speaker 1: I think that I have mentioned on the podcast before

1387
01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:51,879
Speaker 1: that there are sometimes where I'm just like getting advice

1388
01:09:51,960 --> 01:09:54,720
Speaker 1: from friends are like, just sleep with someone random and

1389
01:09:54,760 --> 01:09:56,760
Speaker 1: then you won't be emotionally attached to them, and then

1390
01:09:56,760 --> 01:09:58,760
Speaker 1: it'll be over with and then other guys won't be

1391
01:09:59,040 --> 01:10:00,760
Speaker 1: threatened or weird it out by it, and then you

1392
01:10:00,800 --> 01:10:02,800
Speaker 1: could live a normal twenty nine year old life. Just

1393
01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:06,719
Speaker 1: get rid of it. And sometimes that sounds tempting, not

1394
01:10:06,800 --> 01:10:09,240
Speaker 1: with a stranger at a bar, but with like a

1395
01:10:09,320 --> 01:10:13,120
Speaker 1: good looking guy friend or something like that. Um, but

1396
01:10:14,040 --> 01:10:17,639
Speaker 1: as far as your first kiss, I kind of feel

1397
01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:20,519
Speaker 1: like you can just throw it away. And I'm saying

1398
01:10:20,560 --> 01:10:23,120
Speaker 1: this because I think it's different than sex. It's gonna

1399
01:10:23,160 --> 01:10:27,720
Speaker 1: be a lot less emotionally. Uh, it's gonna you're gonna

1400
01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:30,400
Speaker 1: get less emotionally attached with your first kiss than your

1401
01:10:30,400 --> 01:10:33,240
Speaker 1: first time, or at least that's what I believe. And

1402
01:10:33,439 --> 01:10:35,240
Speaker 1: I think I've told you guys about my first kiss

1403
01:10:35,240 --> 01:10:39,200
Speaker 1: on this podcast once before. It was really stupid. I

1404
01:10:39,240 --> 01:10:42,360
Speaker 1: was in a bar at nineteen and this guy just

1405
01:10:42,400 --> 01:10:43,920
Speaker 1: like put his tongue to my throat and it was

1406
01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:47,280
Speaker 1: messy and sloppy, and at first I was really sad

1407
01:10:47,320 --> 01:10:49,000
Speaker 1: about it, but then I was like, well, at least

1408
01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:50,960
Speaker 1: that's over with, and I think you probably feel the same.

1409
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:54,520
Speaker 1: But Ben, do you have any other advice for her? Um?

1410
01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:56,479
Speaker 1: You know, I do. I think there's a few things

1411
01:10:56,520 --> 01:10:59,080
Speaker 1: that we got to break down here. One is her

1412
01:10:59,160 --> 01:11:00,840
Speaker 1: reasoning for not how me a kiss at this point,

1413
01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:03,160
Speaker 1: if it's an ethical or moral decision, then we got

1414
01:11:03,160 --> 01:11:05,799
Speaker 1: to respect it. I think it's not ethical or moral.

1415
01:11:05,840 --> 01:11:08,240
Speaker 1: I think she's definitely religious, but I think she just

1416
01:11:08,280 --> 01:11:10,719
Speaker 1: wants to kiss a boy. Yeah, And I mean even

1417
01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:12,280
Speaker 1: coming you know, it's not a secret that I have

1418
01:11:12,320 --> 01:11:15,519
Speaker 1: a faith and I try my best to to live

1419
01:11:15,600 --> 01:11:18,439
Speaker 1: my life according to to what I believe my faith

1420
01:11:18,479 --> 01:11:20,960
Speaker 1: asked of me and what Jesus asked of me. And

1421
01:11:20,960 --> 01:11:22,800
Speaker 1: and obviously she points that out in there, so I

1422
01:11:22,840 --> 01:11:25,320
Speaker 1: think she's kind of leaning back on Okay, what what

1423
01:11:25,640 --> 01:11:27,760
Speaker 1: she's asking, Like, what's my perspective on this? And my

1424
01:11:27,840 --> 01:11:31,519
Speaker 1: perspective is this, purity is always something to be admired,

1425
01:11:31,720 --> 01:11:34,720
Speaker 1: admired and also sought after. I believe that in all

1426
01:11:34,800 --> 01:11:37,320
Speaker 1: things in life. I think having a pure heart, having

1427
01:11:37,320 --> 01:11:40,559
Speaker 1: a pure soul, having pure intentions UM towards friendships and

1428
01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:43,800
Speaker 1: relationships are always something UM that we should strive for.

1429
01:11:44,360 --> 01:11:47,719
Speaker 1: And so she Kate has something on on on me

1430
01:11:48,040 --> 01:11:50,679
Speaker 1: and you, and the fact that she is um pure

1431
01:11:50,720 --> 01:11:54,320
Speaker 1: in her physical interaction with others, so her life her her.

1432
01:11:54,640 --> 01:11:57,719
Speaker 1: The opportunity she has to kind of explore that later

1433
01:11:57,760 --> 01:11:59,880
Speaker 1: on is going to be beautiful and I cannot imagine

1434
01:12:00,400 --> 01:12:02,280
Speaker 1: the gift she's going to be able to give her husband,

1435
01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:04,880
Speaker 1: just in the sense of one day meeting a man saying, hey,

1436
01:12:05,080 --> 01:12:07,439
Speaker 1: you might be it. I have never kissed anybody else,

1437
01:12:07,640 --> 01:12:09,400
Speaker 1: And as weird as that sounds, and as hard as

1438
01:12:09,439 --> 01:12:12,519
Speaker 1: that's been for me, I haven't exactly saved myself for

1439
01:12:12,560 --> 01:12:14,680
Speaker 1: this moment. But you are the only man I will

1440
01:12:14,680 --> 01:12:16,360
Speaker 1: ever kiss and the only man I ever want to kiss.

1441
01:12:16,400 --> 01:12:18,040
Speaker 1: I think that's I think that's a cool thing that

1442
01:12:18,040 --> 01:12:22,000
Speaker 1: she's gonna be able to bring a partner in life. UM.

1443
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:24,880
Speaker 1: My advice to her though UM, that's my thoughts. You

1444
01:12:24,920 --> 01:12:27,920
Speaker 1: can disagree or agree. I get that. Please right into

1445
01:12:28,280 --> 01:12:30,479
Speaker 1: UM to the podcast with you with your thoughts, and

1446
01:12:30,479 --> 01:12:33,800
Speaker 1: that my advice to her UM would be a little

1447
01:12:33,800 --> 01:12:35,400
Speaker 1: different than yours actually in the sense of I don't

1448
01:12:35,400 --> 01:12:37,680
Speaker 1: think she should throw it away. I think I think

1449
01:12:37,720 --> 01:12:41,719
Speaker 1: she should make it um as meaningful as she believes

1450
01:12:41,760 --> 01:12:44,160
Speaker 1: she wants to. I don't think she is at any

1451
01:12:44,320 --> 01:12:48,599
Speaker 1: level UM hurting herself by kissing somebody. I don't think

1452
01:12:48,600 --> 01:12:53,599
Speaker 1: that helds that uh physical UM emotion or I guess

1453
01:12:53,600 --> 01:12:55,400
Speaker 1: the emotion to it when you when you kiss somebody.

1454
01:12:55,400 --> 01:12:57,760
Speaker 1: I don't think it's very strong. But I want her

1455
01:12:57,800 --> 01:13:00,639
Speaker 1: to keep it special. She's kept a special at this point. UM.

1456
01:13:00,760 --> 01:13:02,880
Speaker 1: Make sure it's the right person. Make sure it's the

1457
01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:05,720
Speaker 1: right scenario. And if it is her husband one day.

1458
01:13:06,040 --> 01:13:08,760
Speaker 1: I've met people who have done this and I haven't, UM,

1459
01:13:08,760 --> 01:13:11,320
Speaker 1: but it is her husband one day. How beautiful a

1460
01:13:11,360 --> 01:13:13,759
Speaker 1: story is that to one day tell your kids, UM,

1461
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:17,160
Speaker 1: And So Kate, stay strong. You're not weird for it.

1462
01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:18,960
Speaker 1: You're not alone in this. You're not the only one

1463
01:13:19,080 --> 01:13:22,320
Speaker 1: that hasn't kissed anybody. UM. Your story is just maybe

1464
01:13:22,360 --> 01:13:25,280
Speaker 1: different than others. And so don't get sucked in UM

1465
01:13:25,560 --> 01:13:27,120
Speaker 1: to this world that you feel like you need you

1466
01:13:27,160 --> 01:13:29,400
Speaker 1: need to do something to stay relevant or you need

1467
01:13:29,439 --> 01:13:31,479
Speaker 1: to stay cool. Just just take your time and do

1468
01:13:31,560 --> 01:13:34,040
Speaker 1: you Kate, UM do what he feels right. It is

1469
01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:38,040
Speaker 1: interesting to hear yours feedback on this because I'm giving

1470
01:13:38,080 --> 01:13:41,320
Speaker 1: advice right now. That is the advice that I've been

1471
01:13:41,439 --> 01:13:44,120
Speaker 1: getting and I don't. I don't listen to it though,

1472
01:13:44,160 --> 01:13:46,000
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I guess I do think

1473
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:50,880
Speaker 1: of kiss and sex is totally different. But like I

1474
01:13:50,920 --> 01:13:52,680
Speaker 1: can't stand it when people are like, oh, just get

1475
01:13:52,800 --> 01:13:55,479
Speaker 1: rid of it, like it's so unattractive, and it's like, well,

1476
01:13:55,760 --> 01:13:58,400
Speaker 1: I don't think so, So I'm not going to yea.

1477
01:13:58,640 --> 01:14:01,160
Speaker 1: So I mean, actually, this is maybe I don't know

1478
01:14:01,200 --> 01:14:02,920
Speaker 1: if this helps or hurts. And I'm going to say

1479
01:14:02,920 --> 01:14:05,160
Speaker 1: it like if and you and I've talked about this

1480
01:14:05,360 --> 01:14:09,160
Speaker 1: off offline before, and this is this is I'm getting

1481
01:14:09,160 --> 01:14:11,240
Speaker 1: a little more vulnerable than I probably enjoy doing on

1482
01:14:11,280 --> 01:14:14,599
Speaker 1: this podcast. But if I were to kiss somebody right

1483
01:14:14,640 --> 01:14:17,200
Speaker 1: now in my life, right I wanted to talk about this,

1484
01:14:18,760 --> 01:14:20,840
Speaker 1: it would hold a lot of weight. Yeah, it really

1485
01:14:20,840 --> 01:14:23,840
Speaker 1: hard for me, you know, it would hold a lot

1486
01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:26,519
Speaker 1: of weight. So so I guess from the place in

1487
01:14:26,600 --> 01:14:31,360
Speaker 1: my life that I'm at more than it did when

1488
01:14:31,400 --> 01:14:33,920
Speaker 1: I was in college and it just didn't really sit

1489
01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:35,880
Speaker 1: with me every it didn't really matter to me. But

1490
01:14:36,040 --> 01:14:38,840
Speaker 1: right now for me to kiss anybody holds a lot

1491
01:14:39,120 --> 01:14:41,639
Speaker 1: of weight in it, in it almost because I even say,

1492
01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:43,880
Speaker 1: my my chest kind of gets tight, like I know

1493
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:46,600
Speaker 1: that that's really difficult for me. So I don't know

1494
01:14:46,640 --> 01:14:48,280
Speaker 1: where Kates at. We don't know where Kate's at, We

1495
01:14:48,280 --> 01:14:51,600
Speaker 1: don't know where anybody anybody's at this listen to this podcast.

1496
01:14:51,680 --> 01:14:53,960
Speaker 1: I think it matters the season of life and are

1497
01:14:53,960 --> 01:14:56,400
Speaker 1: you prepared for it or not? Season of life. I

1498
01:14:56,479 --> 01:15:01,479
Speaker 1: love that because we are both into well, I love that,

1499
01:15:02,240 --> 01:15:04,040
Speaker 1: um and I think we need to you need to

1500
01:15:04,080 --> 01:15:08,439
Speaker 1: take that into consideration, Kit. But also I am losing

1501
01:15:08,439 --> 01:15:13,920
Speaker 1: my train of thought like crazy right now. So no,

1502
01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:16,800
Speaker 1: no, no no, I'm not no, not okay. So here's the thing, um,

1503
01:15:16,880 --> 01:15:19,800
Speaker 1: Ben and I are both very in line in this

1504
01:15:19,920 --> 01:15:23,439
Speaker 1: department together, Like we are so emotional and we'd like

1505
01:15:23,520 --> 01:15:26,240
Speaker 1: to emotionally attach ourselves to people. So we're not the

1506
01:15:26,320 --> 01:15:28,120
Speaker 1: kind of people who are going to go out and

1507
01:15:28,160 --> 01:15:30,800
Speaker 1: be like, oh no, go out and like you won't

1508
01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:33,280
Speaker 1: feel anything, and it's fine to not feel anything. Like

1509
01:15:33,320 --> 01:15:37,120
Speaker 1: we think that being physical with someone, no matter how

1510
01:15:37,160 --> 01:15:40,680
Speaker 1: intense it is, is something that should come along with

1511
01:15:40,760 --> 01:15:43,200
Speaker 1: emotion for the most part, or it always does come

1512
01:15:43,200 --> 01:15:46,120
Speaker 1: along with motion. Okay. Um, Actually, great, great advice. That

1513
01:15:46,479 --> 01:15:48,120
Speaker 1: was fun to talk about. I think it's interesting to

1514
01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:50,640
Speaker 1: hear from your perspective on this topic. Because it is

1515
01:15:50,680 --> 01:15:53,799
Speaker 1: one that you you know, you know a lot about. Um,

1516
01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:56,040
Speaker 1: I want to your next email. But what else we got?

1517
01:15:56,120 --> 01:15:58,639
Speaker 1: All right? This is from Brianna. I've been a fan

1518
01:15:58,680 --> 01:16:00,919
Speaker 1: of the Bats since the very beginning. I have memories

1519
01:16:00,960 --> 01:16:03,040
Speaker 1: of watching it with my mom at five years old.

1520
01:16:03,400 --> 01:16:06,639
Speaker 1: Imagine my expitement when I found out that not only one,

1521
01:16:06,720 --> 01:16:10,000
Speaker 1: but to my favorite bachelor stars were starting a podcast together.

1522
01:16:10,040 --> 01:16:13,559
Speaker 1: You both compliment each other beautifully, and Ashley has got

1523
01:16:13,560 --> 01:16:17,760
Speaker 1: a bubbly personality and Ben's the logical, thoughtful one that

1524
01:16:17,840 --> 01:16:21,439
Speaker 1: comes with a good banter. I especially, or especially in

1525
01:16:21,520 --> 01:16:24,519
Speaker 1: Ben's case, love hearing about Ashley's dating life stories and

1526
01:16:24,560 --> 01:16:27,880
Speaker 1: Ben giving her advice. Maybe sometime soon we'll start hearing

1527
01:16:27,920 --> 01:16:30,400
Speaker 1: stories about Ben jumping into the dating pool and actually

1528
01:16:30,439 --> 01:16:33,439
Speaker 1: giving her input. Keep up the great work, and please

1529
01:16:33,560 --> 01:16:36,639
Speaker 1: keep sharing some behind the scenes stories for us fans. Well,

1530
01:16:36,680 --> 01:16:40,439
Speaker 1: I guess what Brian is asking us is when would

1531
01:16:40,640 --> 01:16:47,200
Speaker 1: Ben find himself interested in dating again? Ben? How many

1532
01:16:47,240 --> 01:16:50,360
Speaker 1: months are we away from that? You know? I think

1533
01:16:50,400 --> 01:16:53,599
Speaker 1: here recently? Actually, I've tried to stay away from talking

1534
01:16:53,640 --> 01:16:58,439
Speaker 1: about those situations. I know they hurt people and they're

1535
01:16:58,439 --> 01:17:02,080
Speaker 1: hard to talk about. Still, it makes sense, like that

1536
01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:05,400
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. Is dating or relationships are things that

1537
01:17:05,439 --> 01:17:08,800
Speaker 1: are very sensitive to me right now, and um, it's

1538
01:17:08,840 --> 01:17:12,360
Speaker 1: just not something I'm wanting to talk about. Honestly, I

1539
01:17:12,400 --> 01:17:18,280
Speaker 1: guess the insight will hap into that is I don't know. Um,

1540
01:17:18,320 --> 01:17:19,960
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know when I'm ready, and I

1541
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:22,720
Speaker 1: think I listened to a sermon this week by one

1542
01:17:22,760 --> 01:17:24,640
Speaker 1: of my favorite pastors. His name is Andy Stanley out

1543
01:17:24,680 --> 01:17:29,200
Speaker 1: of Atlanta, and he talked about heartbreak and breakups and

1544
01:17:29,680 --> 01:17:32,240
Speaker 1: how you move forward and move on, and he recommended

1545
01:17:32,280 --> 01:17:35,160
Speaker 1: you take a considerable amount of time in these in

1546
01:17:35,200 --> 01:17:37,720
Speaker 1: this part of life where you're exiting out of a

1547
01:17:37,760 --> 01:17:40,920
Speaker 1: breakup and you're broken, to find yourself, to fill yourself

1548
01:17:40,920 --> 01:17:43,720
Speaker 1: with things that are good, to fill yourself with friendships,

1549
01:17:43,840 --> 01:17:46,840
Speaker 1: and to fill yourself with healthy habits and your faith

1550
01:17:47,320 --> 01:17:50,920
Speaker 1: and prayer and meditation. So, honestly, as tempted it. As

1551
01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:54,800
Speaker 1: much as I do desire relationship, I do, and you

1552
01:17:54,840 --> 01:17:58,040
Speaker 1: know this, I desire commitment, and I desire to emotionally

1553
01:17:58,040 --> 01:18:00,320
Speaker 1: attached myself to somebody and have somebody look at me

1554
01:18:00,320 --> 01:18:02,479
Speaker 1: the way Rachel at Dean on this episode and say hey,

1555
01:18:02,479 --> 01:18:06,040
Speaker 1: I got your back, I'm here for you. UM, I

1556
01:18:06,080 --> 01:18:10,120
Speaker 1: am forcing myself if this makes sense to uh, you

1557
01:18:10,160 --> 01:18:12,280
Speaker 1: get to know myself better. I don't know, um, to

1558
01:18:12,920 --> 01:18:15,160
Speaker 1: find myself a little bit, to to figure out who

1559
01:18:15,240 --> 01:18:19,320
Speaker 1: I am now. Um and Uh. Once I do that,

1560
01:18:19,360 --> 01:18:22,320
Speaker 1: I don't know when that is. Hopefully I'll have somebody

1561
01:18:22,360 --> 01:18:25,400
Speaker 1: then in my life that will say, uh, we'll tell

1562
01:18:25,439 --> 01:18:27,400
Speaker 1: me they love me and and and I'll know it.

1563
01:18:27,760 --> 01:18:31,320
Speaker 1: Um So who knows, I don't know. They always come

1564
01:18:31,360 --> 01:18:34,599
Speaker 1: around when you are concentrating on yourselves and you're trying

1565
01:18:34,640 --> 01:18:36,840
Speaker 1: to be happy alone and that's when you'll find that person.

1566
01:18:36,920 --> 01:18:39,960
Speaker 1: Or at least that's what they tell me. That's right. Um.

1567
01:18:40,040 --> 01:18:42,720
Speaker 1: So that's it. Sorry, I can't answer that better. I

1568
01:18:42,760 --> 01:18:45,680
Speaker 1: hope one day to um we can be laughing and

1569
01:18:45,680 --> 01:18:49,200
Speaker 1: sharing stories about my dating life. I don't want this

1570
01:18:49,280 --> 01:18:51,720
Speaker 1: to always be about Ashley and her vulnerable moments. But

1571
01:18:51,840 --> 01:18:54,439
Speaker 1: right now, UM, for at least this season of the

1572
01:18:54,439 --> 01:18:58,240
Speaker 1: Almost Famous podcast, UM, she is the only one dating

1573
01:18:58,439 --> 01:19:02,080
Speaker 1: and uh and and I'm the one listening. So with that,

1586
01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:42,120
Speaker 1: another way that you're better in yourself and you're doing

1587
01:19:42,160 --> 01:19:45,000
Speaker 1: something for yourself exactly and serving others. You know, that's

1588
01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:46,360
Speaker 1: maybe one of the best things to do, is when

1589
01:19:46,360 --> 01:19:48,880
Speaker 1: you really want to serve yourself, you serve others first.

1590
01:19:48,960 --> 01:19:52,360
Speaker 1: And so I'm going to be doing that. Um. So Ashley,
