WEBVTT - That's My Husband 0:00:00.760 --> 0:00:03.800 This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast 0:00:03.840 --> 0:00:04.680 with on our radio. 0:00:06.519 --> 0:00:10.760 Hey guys, we welcome to the Almost Famous podcast. Today, 0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:13.400 Ben and I are here to recap episode two of 0:00:13.480 --> 0:00:14.200 Grant season. 0:00:14.760 --> 0:00:16.079 Hi, Ben, what's up. 0:00:16.120 --> 0:00:20.040 It's a big episode obviously every season. It's where we 0:00:20.120 --> 0:00:23.799 start to get to know the contestants involved and we 0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:27.560 start to see maybe some themes that will understand from 0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:30.960 the Bachelor or wherever the lead is throughout the season. 0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:34.240 I remember Joey's season, Episode two is where we're really 0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:37.159 started to go. This guy's got what it takes to 0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:41.000 be a really good lead. He was listening, he was responding, 0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:44.920 and the season kind of picked up from episode two. 0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:49.880 This episode, we were just talking, have a lot of 0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:53.199 high hopes for the season in front of us. There 0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:55.920 is some shocking moments that we're going to talk about. 0:00:56.440 --> 0:01:01.120 One of the most shocking moments I've had in recent 0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:05.440 history when it comes to eliminations. The other Mark and 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:09.200 I don't know listeners argue with us on this. I 0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:12.000 don't want this to sound like a bashing of the show. 0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:14.160 We're obviously still into the show when we have a 0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:17.319 lot of high hopes for us this season, but one 0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:20.319 of the words I would use to describe this episode 0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:24.440 specifically was a little cringey. It was had a lot 0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:27.080 of like dead awkward moments for me. 0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:31.560 There was so many unimportant moments for me. 0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:35.160 You know, I always say, like the moments that make 0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:37.200 me want to grab my phone and start scrolling. 0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:38.200 I had a. 0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:41.400 Number of those where I was just listening and I 0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:44.000 was like, this is so inconsequential. 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:48.680 It felt like, you know, we watched the Bachelor franchise 0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:54.240 because it is that upper level reality show where yeah, 0:01:54.320 --> 0:02:01.400 you know, you can fantasize, you can romanticize, you can 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:05.360 get hooked into the storylines, and it feels like, in 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:08.600 a lot of ways, it's not reality and it isn't right. 0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:10.640 You're not gonna go on helicopter rides, You're not going 0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:12.560 to go these fancy dates. You're not gonna have this 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:15.320 person show up to a random place and play a 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:18.399 private concert for you. A lot of this is all overblown. 0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:23.160 This episode, I think, almost to me felt like watching 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:24.239 a home video. 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:29.120 Like yeah, okay, wow, I was gonna say we TV, 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:32.840 but you just beat it there with the home video. 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:34.919 It felt really low budget. 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:37.800 It did okay, so let's dive in and talk about 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:40.080 this episode, the good, the bad's the uglies, and why 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:42.400 we maybe felt like it missed the mark when it 0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:45.560 comes to the standard that's been placed for over twenty 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:47.679 five seasons on The Bachelor. 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:51.440 So start at the very beginning. 0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:54.560 The ladies are in the house, they're excited, and we've 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:58.720 had enough Grant puns so far to fulfill those quota 0:02:58.760 --> 0:02:59.720 for the rest of the season. 0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:05.399 And we're still continuing with the that's my husband, that's 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:08.760 my husband talk. I still think it's way more this 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:09.840 season than ever before. 0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:17.040 Oh my god, Parisa gets through this week and Alicia didn't. 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:20.000 I'm just discovering this reading out that group list. 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:21.680 We're going to talk about that in a bit, Ashley. 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:24.120 That's obviously one of the most shocking moments for us 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:26.799 this season. This is a group date where they're going 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:30.840 to play basketball. It makes sense. It's what Grant loves, 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:34.760 it's what he did professionally. We knew this was coming. 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:37.880 They weren't going to miss the opportunity to do a 0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:43.120 basketball date. They had the kids involved, which is always 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:45.640 a good added touch. However, I felt the kids were 0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:51.520 underutilized when it comes to their comedic relief, their energy levels, 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:57.160 the ways they could almost put pressure on these women 0:03:57.400 --> 0:04:01.040 a little bit because they ask good questions. I felt 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:04.840 like the kids this episode or this date were underutilized, 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:08.960 I agree, and almost made it not make sense on 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:09.920 why they were there. 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:12.800 Yeah, you know, that was a point that I didn't 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:14.680 think about, but now that you mention it, I agree, 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:18.839 because they were really cute when they were fair. The 0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:21.880 shining moment with them was definitely with Natalie. Was she 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:24.720 sat with that girl and what did they even I 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:26.040 don't remember what they talked about. 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:27.480 That girl was like. 0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:32.200 Out of breath and now kind of like calm back down, 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:36.640 which was very sweet. It was very much a show 0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:40.040 of comfort that she knows what she's doing, She's fine 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:44.520 in those situations. This date really is marked by the 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:48.040 fact that they played basketball. Nobody there as a contestant 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:53.720 is extremely good at basketball, but they The whole point 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:57.160 of this date I think leads up to the most 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:03.440 climactic moment, which is where Zoe steals Grant away from 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:06.880 really their only group activity during this date, which is 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:10.360 a dunk contest, which could have been funny to watch. 0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:12.640 I could have seen where it made like decent television 0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:15.880 to see these women trying some fancy dunks and doing 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:16.720 some funny stuff. 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:20.640 How are they gonna dunk? Is that why it never happened? 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:27.719 Okay, okay, not on ten foot, But Zoe steals grant Away. 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:30.280 So my first question to you, Ashley as we break 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:31.400 this episode. 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:37.040 Down, is Zoe in the wrong for stealing grant Away 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:38.680 in this moment? 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:47.080 Maybe did it when she did it when she was 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:47.840 told to do it. 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:49.800 I can't get around it. 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:51.000 But she did. 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:53.920 She did it, and so it doesn't matter if she 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:57.040 was go erst or told hey, this is a good idea. 0:05:57.360 --> 0:05:59.720 She did it. She made the choice to do it, 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:01.760 and so was it a good decision? 0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:03.839 No, No, it's never a good decision. 0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:08.120 It's it's a good decision sometimes if you actually is 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:09.520 it really ever a good decision? 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:11.520 Is it really ever? 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:13.200 I don't think it's a good decision. 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:17.080 No, I don't think so. I thought that she also 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:19.800 seemed so. I don't know. 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:23.560 When she took up to the roof, I didn't like 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:25.280 the way she was talking to him. I can't really 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:27.280 describe how she was talking to him, but like it 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:32.240 was just like yeah, no, yeah no, And I was 0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:34.560 just like, God, this is why you stole him to 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:35.880 have this kind of conversation. 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:40.640 Yeah, I think it always shows a little desperation when 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:43.720 somebody does something like this. I don't know if it's 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:46.080 a bad decision. In two or three weeks, when you're 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:47.760 on a group date and you're like, Hey, we haven't 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:50.120 had any one on one time. I want to make 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:51.640 the effort to get someone on one time with you 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:54.040 because it doesn't seem to be happening any other time, 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:55.719 and so I am going to ask you to spend 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:58.920 some time with me. This on the first group date, 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:01.120 when the women are still trying to figure out what 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:03.200 and the heck they're doing here and how these things 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:06.200 even work. Yeah, it felt like there's only one way 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:08.919 this could go, and it would be controversial with the 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:13.400 women involved. Now, the controversy is going to happen. Issues 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:15.280 are going to happen in the house. That's how the 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:19.200 show's set up. But I think a philosophy for most 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:22.640 people as they come on the show Kelsey on Joey's 0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:25.160 season would be a great example of this is, hey, 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:30.440 try not to force controversy or try not to allow 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:34.160 controversy to slip in. And this interruption feels like it 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:36.640 would only go one way with everybody else in the house. 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:40.680 And honestly, I don't know if Grant's far enough into 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:44.200 it yet, but at some point he'll get there or 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:47.720 he should have said no. The reason is it distracts 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:51.000 him from the date. It makes everybody stand around for 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:53.800 as long as they were away from each other. So 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:56.640 it does make the women a little bit upset with 0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:59.400 him or just not having a good time. And the 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:01.640 best thing he has on his side right now, Ashley, 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:04.000 is that the women could at least have a good 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:07.440 time during these dates. Like that's the one thing he 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:09.560 has to his advantage is these dates are going to 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:13.480 be set up for everybody to enjoy themselves, and if 0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:17.320 he loses that, he just has a bunch of bored, angry, 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:18.960 confused people. 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:19.800 Yeah. 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:24.880 Well, the steal that I thought was interesting was later 0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:30.920 at the cocktail party, Ali Joe did she interrupt? I 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:32.679 feel like she was the one that she was like 0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:38.400 totally done with Zoe and Kauz. Zoe interrupted Juliana, We 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:41.000 like Juliana, but Ali Joe. 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:42.760 Is like, hey, can I can I steal you? 0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:48.480 And then she was like he hesitated, and he was like, 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:51.080 I'm going to come back to you. Like he's still 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:54.280 into Zoe, doesn't care about any of these interruptions. Yeah, 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:56.439 he said, I want to give you the two minutes. 0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:58.600 You're right, I want to give your last two minutes 0:08:58.679 --> 0:08:59.080 or something. 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:01.360 I think Grant's going to be a great bachelor. I 0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:03.760 think he's a very handsome. I think he's kind. I 0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:07.120 think he cares. I'd say, if we're at all picking 0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:10.600 apart his strategy or how he's looking at things right now, 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:14.840 I would say his mistake is that he might be 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:21.400 too easily swayed by some of these interruptions and that 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:23.760 he should have said no to both of these. They're 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:26.640 not helpful. Right, You've already had your time. What's going 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:30.280 to be said in the next five minute conversation that 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:34.640 you have that wouldn't be said already. 0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:35.320 When she stole you? 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:39.160 And so he needs to, in a sense, manage this 0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:42.200 thing before it blows up on him, and that every 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:43.920 woman in the house is mad at each other or 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:46.560 they're mad at Zoe. If he likes her, one of 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:48.280 the ways to show that he likes her is to 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:53.680 protect her and say, hey, this isn't a good points like, hey, 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:56.200 we're good, you're going to be here next week. 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:58.120 We'll get another week together. It's gonna be fine. 0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:00.680 Yeah, But I'm want to go move and talk to 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:04.320 some of the other ladies. He also has some This 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:06.800 is the wrong word, but I think it will make 0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:10.200 sense fighters in the house, meaning they aren't afraid to 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:12.160 stand up for what they believe in and what they 0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:14.680 think is right. And I think we're already seeing that, 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:17.680 which is a great quality to a human. It's not 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:19.840 a bad quality. But what it does do when you 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:23.440 have enough of those and they have a common enemy, 0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:29.120 it can get very chaotic. Yeah, in the house and 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:30.119 on these dates. 0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:32.839 Yes, So we know that Zoe is a fighter. We 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:37.280 know Ali Joe is a fighter. Anyone else who's like 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:40.560 really sticking out to you. I'm even thinking that Chloe 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:40.920 could be. 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:45.160 Yeah, I mean I think Chloe could be. I do 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:47.520 think Juliana has a little bit of it in her. 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:51.280 And I think we're gonna see, like some of the 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:59.360 Baileys of the world stand up at some point. But 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:01.200 I think so far what we're seeing is at least 0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:04.600 we've got a few on this date specifically. Now, honestly, 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:07.440 it doesn't matter which team won. One team blew out 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:12.520 the other wasn't even a game, which I don't think 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:14.760 really mattered when it came to this date at all. 0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:18.240 It it almost I wish it would have because it 0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:22.640 would have made this date a little more important, But honestly, 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:25.160 it felt like the basketball date, for all they could 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:29.920 have done with it, was just a filler in a 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:32.080 lot of ways, Like that. Was there anything really that 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:35.680 came from that date of importance other than Chloe getting 0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:36.400 a little bit. 0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:36.880 Of time with him? 0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:38.000 Not really. 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:39.800 I could it would be nice if he did one 0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:41.880 on one with both the girls. Yeah, it could have 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:43.120 also been like kind of intimates. 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:55.720 So we're through the first part of the date and 0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:59.640 we move on to a really beautiful date with Alex. 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:03.480 On one date, Alex did receive the first impression Rose, 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:06.800 which Commit promised her the first one on one date 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:07.560 of the season. 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:08.520 I love that idea. 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:10.680 I love that the first impression Rows also gets the 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:12.840 first one on one. However, I do think it really 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:16.320 catapults them to the top and far beyond for a 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:19.560 few weeks everybody else. But I do like what the 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:23.040 show did this season where add a little bit uh 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:27.840 more to that first impression Rose, Alex and Grant have 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:29.720 a tremendous first date. 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:33.920 I think it was again odd for the show. They 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:35.280 did it in like a mall. 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:39.040 I was like, this is the Beverly summer, like I 0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:41.160 used to just go shop there. Yeah, it's just like 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:44.520 the most average. Honestly, it's a really average mall these days. 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:47.960 I mean, it looks like any other mall that like 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:52.920 isn't really in business anymore. And they had it to themselves, 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:55.600 which is cool. And I love the smell of them all. 0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:57.880 I love the smell of them all. 0:12:58.120 --> 0:13:00.760 The fountain in the middle that makes them all. 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:04.439 Like chlorine, and then you know everybody's like germs everywhere 0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:08.120 and the prencil like malls a cool place. I wish 0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:10.480 the mall would make its resurgence, even though I don't 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:13.559 know how it would, but to have it the day 0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:22.160 stable at the mall, it feels again like it missed 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:26.840 the mark because it wasn't. I don't know what it 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:28.640 was like. I don't know the point of going to 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:30.640 the mall. And then they like had some stars open 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:31.679 to them and they got to. 0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:33.720 Do that. 0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:35.840 But I don't even know if. I mean, these people 0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:38.160 are so young, did they even ever go to a 0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:40.120 mall growing up? I mean, Grant said he did, but 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:40.760 did he really? 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:43.800 Yeah he did. 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:47.000 Yeah, you're right, there is a there's a four year 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:47.720 age gap with us. 0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:48.559 Isn't he thirty two? 0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:51.280 Oh he's thirty, so he's six years there. The malls 0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:53.440 were still around. I understand what they were doing. The 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:57.040 purpose was to make them feel like kids again. It 0:13:57.160 --> 0:13:59.480 was silly though. It's like the big wow factors, like 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:01.440 there's a big rose on the screen and she's supposed 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:03.400 to be like, holy cow, oh there's a rose on 0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:06.200 the screen. And then they go around and do these 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:09.600 silly bachelor things where it's like they bump each other 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:13.000 with these moving stuff animal horses, and they jump on 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:15.680 a bed as if like in life, we ever effing 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:16.679 jump on a bed. 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:19.840 I've never jumped on a bed in my life. And 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:20.680 they broke that bed. 0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:23.120 So the show really backfired on if they're doing low 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:25.560 budget date, they're like, no, now I have to buy 0:14:25.680 --> 0:14:29.560 a bed. I can see how this played out, though, 0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:33.720 for whatever reason, this is what the show chose to do. 0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:36.800 These are my least favorite dates, Ashulely when I was 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:39.800 a bachelor, because there was so many activities that the 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:41.760 show wanted you to do. You can't like get in 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:44.400 a rhythm and you're like bouncing around from the thing. 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:45.880 Now the show's like how fun would it be if 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:47.440 you got on those things and hit each other? And 0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:50.560 you're like, wasn't really thinking about that, but yeah, let's 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:50.960 do it. 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:53.320 That's just like it's stupid giggles to me, like I 0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:55.600 think i'd be doing this. I'm just feeling like really dumb, 0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:57.800 like I would never do this with somebody, and like 0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:00.600 this isn't that much fun. I can't pretend like it's fun. 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:03.720 It's too planned, is what I would say. Is it's 0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:08.920 too formulaic to make it fun. There's too many things 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:11.320 that we're asked. If they just said, hey, let's go 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:14.560 to the mall, we're going to open up a few stores, 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:17.600 you guys like have your pick and have a little 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:20.680 fun with them, great, But they had all this set 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:22.120 up and so it was like almost like they were 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:25.680 moving station to station to station instead of just like 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:28.600 kind of letting loose. So as a result, I don't 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:31.000 know how much of their personality we actually got to see, 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:35.120 because I think it was also planned and it felt 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:38.520 planned to me. I do, though, think they're date together. 0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:43.080 They have the chemistry, they have the comfort it feels 0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:46.040 like the two of them are very attracted to each other, 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:49.600 and so I am leaving this date going a great 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:53.000 first date again it so let usfies our idea that 0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:54.800 Alex is going to probably be here a while. 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:58.040 Great first date. You forgot to mention the most important 0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:01.160 part to the date to me, and that was when 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:04.440 he played the piano for her. That could have been 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:05.280 the only stop. 0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:08.280 It was good, It was really good. 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:12.480 I had so much respect for him ad liping that song, 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:14.280 coming up with that from the top of his head 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:17.280 like there is a hook there. It was a romantic 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:20.600 That was a That was a good bachelor moment. 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:22.880 Shout out to Grant for coming out with his first 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:24.600 single on Spotify last week. 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:29.080 I would download it like, there's that dune, dune dune? 0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:31.400 How do you come up with that on the spot 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:34.520 That's just a lot about somebody's No, he did actually. 0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:37.200 Come out with the song on Spotify last week. Oh really, 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:39.600 not that song, but a different song. Oh yeah, party 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:40.280 girl or something. 0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:45.200 Really need to hear this, No, you gotta look it up. 0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:47.520 It's not the song you heard it girl. 0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:50.040 Wouldn't it make sense if it was this song? Because 0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:52.160 I would actually want to listen to this song again. 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:55.280 Yeah, no, it did. He did. I mean he's great. 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:59.200 He's he's very swoony in these moments, and you can 0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:02.680 see why people or why the girls are like, hey, 0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:03.720 I like this guy. 0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:04.760 Again. 0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:06.680 I go back to thinking, I think he's going to 0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:12.120 be a great lead if he doesn't get in trouble 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:15.399 in the house, meaning that this chaos becomes such a 0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:19.720 focus point that he can't actually invest in these relationships 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:22.240 because he's going to have four or five dates and 0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:24.040 the women are going to go I got to tell 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:26.200 you what's going on in the house. And that's always 0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:29.000 some annoying moment of the season, and I think it's 0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:30.960 going to happen a lot this season. I just expect it, 0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:33.120 and then it's going to take away from who he 0:17:33.240 --> 0:17:36.520 is and what the relationships could be. But I think 0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:39.320 you and I both agree, Ashley, we walk away from 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:43.480 this one on one outside of everything else going, this 0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:47.199 is a they have a legitimate shot, right Oh yeah. 0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:50.280 And they have a lot of commonality in their background 0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:56.560 with having issues with parents and feeling like they come from. 0:17:56.640 --> 0:17:59.160 Sort of a broken home. Yeah, especially with her. 0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:02.000 Definitely they talk about it, and I think there is 0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:04.359 a comfort, and I think she says it, there's a 0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:07.520 comfort knowing that like Grant can relate with me and 0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:11.639 that he understands the situation I'm in. I think that 0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:16.080 obviously is a huge point. And here's the interesting part, Ashley. 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:22.680 Some seasons we see this being told second third one. 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:24.639 I went in right later in the season like, hey, 0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:26.560 I just want to let you know Hometown's is going 0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:29.680 to be rough for me because here's my family dynamic. 0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:33.440 It's interesting to me that this was brought up right 0:18:33.480 --> 0:18:37.199 away and that they both could be shared, you know, 0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:41.920 similar experiences, and that that's already on the table, so 0:18:41.960 --> 0:18:45.360 both of them know when they talk about family, this 0:18:45.440 --> 0:18:48.119 is what the response is going to be, or maybe hey, 0:18:48.200 --> 0:18:50.399 I'd rather not talk about family. I do think it 0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:53.040 showed a level of comfort with the two of them 0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:55.719 that isn't always shown so early on. 0:18:56.640 --> 0:18:57.040 Mm hmm. 0:18:57.760 --> 0:19:00.720 I also think that it's nice that the two of 0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:05.399 them know that they want to raise families, knowing that 0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:07.480 they want to do the opposite of how they were raised. 0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:12.080 That's yeah, and that's such a I mean, here's maybe 0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:17.280 I'm just picky. I would love in those moments for 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:18.840 either of them to be like can you tell me 0:19:18.840 --> 0:19:20.080 more about what you mean by that? 0:19:20.760 --> 0:19:22.800 And you know, maybe they did and we just didn't 0:19:22.800 --> 0:19:25.320 see it, because obviously they had a long time there. 0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:27.720 And I actually think that they may have been there 0:19:27.840 --> 0:19:29.960 until the sun rose, because I feel like I was 0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:32.359 seeing glimmers of sunlight in there, and you know that 0:19:32.400 --> 0:19:35.159 they didn't start until it got dark, So that's a 0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:37.360 really late time to start a one on one. 0:19:37.760 --> 0:19:40.120 This sounds terrible. I think we how bad your breath 0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:41.639 would be by the time the date's over. 0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:47.040 I know, especially after're talking all that time than having champagne, 0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:48.960 who the heckry mouth? 0:19:49.040 --> 0:19:49.440 Gross? 0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:51.080 Okay, disgusting? 0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:55.879 So next day we actually probably have good amount to 0:19:55.920 --> 0:19:58.440 talk about here. This is the singing and dancing group 0:19:58.520 --> 0:20:01.720 date where they have to beasically be a girl band. 0:20:02.000 --> 0:20:04.800 It was led by Robin Anton and. 0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:07.520 She created the Pussycat dolls, so you know it's gonna 0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:10.439 be sexy and I would I was just thinking how 0:20:10.440 --> 0:20:13.800 I would fail this date because I can't sexy dance. 0:20:13.920 --> 0:20:16.040 I was thinking about my wife and I was like, 0:20:16.560 --> 0:20:18.680
