I don't get 53 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: any hat ashe I am so excited to talk to 54 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: you this week. Uh. We have a massive episode of 55 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,959 Speaker 1: The Bachelor at that happened this week, and I know 56 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 1: that you know I can get fired up about this stuff. 57 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: I know personally as I watched the show, Um, my 58 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: first reaction is was it this bad when I was 59 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: on it? Um? And I want to hear your opinion. 60 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 1: I want to hear your just kind of rundown of 61 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: this week's bachelorrette. And then I have a couple of 62 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: things that I've written out that I want to point 63 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 1: out and speak to because my mind is becoming blown 64 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: by the things happening. Yeah, you're not a fan right now? Huh, 65 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: I couldn't call. I mean, I'm no, I think I 66 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: think that is exactly what I am. I think I 67 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: think I am becoming the biggest fan that I didn't 68 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: necessarily want to become. That's so funny. So I actually 69 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: feel myself getting more invested in this season than I 70 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: have in a long time. And when I say a 71 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: long time, I think probably going back to your season, 72 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: Joe Joe season didn't really feel that one and then 73 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: Nix either and out here we are, and I'm really 74 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: removed from it, you know, both you and I don't 75 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: know Rachel, And I wonder if that's why I like 76 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: it more, because like I'm watching it like a fan 77 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: and I'm not watching it like a friend, and it's 78 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: it's it's just been such a huge train wreck in 79 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: such good TV to me. Uh, and I'm not even 80 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: looking at I have like no personal investment in it. 81 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 1: So if you want to go down like the list 82 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: of really crazy things that happened this week, we have 83 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: to definitely start with the fight between Blake and well 84 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 1: Boom Lucas. I mean, it's it was literally I have 85 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 1: I have my notes and in front me I wrote 86 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: down it's like two children yelling at each other, but 87 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,799 Speaker 1: we're watching two grown men. Um. They were not only 88 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: like mocking each other. At one point, I saw Blake 89 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: in the background, like acting out like who he thought 90 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: Lucas or what Boom was like. He was like doing 91 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 1: some little dance, calling him a clown. I see a 92 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 1: script right here. Do you want to recreate the fight 93 00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: right now? Um? Yeah, Actually, I'm gonna play Blake because 94 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: he got on my nerves even more than Lucas. Oh yeah, 95 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: Blake is way worse than Lucas. I said in my 96 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: Cosmo articles like I would much rather make out with 97 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 1: Lucas than Blake. We could probably make that happen. Um, okay, 98 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: so let's start. Let's skip down a little bit. Let's 99 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: start start at the um when you ask me, why 100 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: am I here? Okay? Why am I here? Okay? Why 101 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 1: am i? This is real quick for everybody listening. This 102 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: is the conversation between Luke, Lucas, and Blake on this 103 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: week's episode of the Bachelorette. They they got in a 104 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,679 Speaker 1: massive fight. If you haven't seen yet, Okay, okay, okay, 105 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: why am I here. You're here to be on blank TV? 106 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: And why is that because you want to be a comedian? 107 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 1: You're washed up joke. I can't help but feel that 108 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: you weren't here and I would have to be a 109 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: real shot at and I would have a real shot 110 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: at getting to know Rachel. But because you were busy 111 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: being well boo mean and making a joke out of 112 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: this experience, I'm gonna go home. You and Lucas who boom. 113 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 1: The thing is, it's like not about winning. It's about 114 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 1: the world. Brother, It's about the world, and you have 115 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: no idea what the world needs. This is, by the way, 116 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: time out. This is my favorite part. You're the wa 117 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: boom clown and I'm the nice gentleman. You know. Go 118 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: back to your protein shakes, go back to your steroids. 119 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna let you speak for yourself. I know 120 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: what funny is walka boom pie in your face, walka 121 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 1: walker fart joke. If someone said, how would you summarize 122 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: Lucas in one word? And I feel like this is 123 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: a compliment to Lucas, I would say, whoa boom? Okay, 124 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: let's stop here. So this is what we got. Thank you, everybody, 125 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 1: Thank you so as I felt a little bit weird 126 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: reading through this, okay, and I have the words in 127 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: front of me. For this to be an actual grown 128 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: man fight is absolutely ridiculous. I mean, at one point, 129 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: let me just reread this slowly to to everybody out 130 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,679 Speaker 1: there so they can hear this. Waca waca boom, pie 131 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: in your face, waca, waca, fart Joe. If someone said 132 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: how you would summarize Lucas in one word, I would say, well, boom, 133 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: that is Blake's comment. Now, I'm not going to question 134 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: Blake's intelligence. I don't know the man, I've never met 135 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: the man, but I would have to believe that if 136 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: he read back through this conversation, his takeaway might be 137 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: I'm a little bit better than this. I'm just might be. 138 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: But you know what's so crazy is that he keeps 139 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: getting on Lucas about wanting to be on TV and 140 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: wanting to be famous, when not only is he also 141 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: on The Bachelor at but apparently for the right reasons, 142 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: because a whole other conversation we can have is like, 143 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: what are the right reasons? But then this is his 144 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: second TV show too, because he was on the other 145 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: TV show with well boom what shows that, Yes, you 146 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: guys didn't know this. They know each other because they 147 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: were on another like We TV or lifetime reality show 148 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: about it's called exiled. That's what he was trying to 149 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: blame it on, when really it was that's true too. 150 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: They do live in the same neighborhood, but they know 151 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: each other originally from this other reality show, which, of 152 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: course um Blake is bringing up because then it would 153 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 1: just get thrown back in his face that he's on 154 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: his second TV show too. Definitely. Well, okay, that's a 155 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,439 Speaker 1: great point then, So I would say, based on my 156 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: fan opinion, neither of them are there for the right reasons, right, Okay, 157 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: So let's talk about a guy who was there, in 158 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: my opinion, for the right reasons. And I honestly was 159 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: looking for that heart connection with somebody, somebody that was 160 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 1: really going to cheer for in this season, and I 161 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: found in a guy named Frederick. Okay, Frederick, just give 162 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 1: a little backstory work, are we getting really formal now 163 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: with Frederick? Well, let's just let's just call him fred Okay. 164 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,359 Speaker 1: So fred knew Rachel growing up through elementary school and 165 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 1: and Rachel's always continued to in this season. Go back 166 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 1: to how Fred was a wild child, okay, troublemaker, and 167 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: Fred has been trying to prove to her, Hey, I'm 168 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: actually a man now you know I'm I'm here because 169 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: I've always been attracted to you. I was growing up. 170 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: I was not the man um that was able to 171 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: date you. You're I think he said, too good for me. 172 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: But now I believe that I could be a man 173 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 1: um that that would compliment your life. And so I 174 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,559 Speaker 1: fell in love with Fred last night. Fred was the sweetest, 175 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: sweetest thing ever, and seeing her not reciprocate those feelings 176 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: was one of the most heartbreaking things I've seen on 177 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,559 Speaker 1: the show in a long time. It really was. And 178 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 1: speaking of first kiss, this is maybe why I fell 179 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 1: in love with Fred last night. Okay, Um, Fred kind 180 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: of was smooth in my opinion, and I think she 181 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,839 Speaker 1: Rachel was thrown off because Fred asked her if he 182 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 1: could kiss her, right, um, And I relate to that 183 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: because I have my first kiss story that is somewhat similar. 184 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: I love first stories. So let me tell you about this. Uh, 185 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 1: sit back, relax. Let me tell you a story. Um. 186 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: Little Ben was in in sixth grade dating a young 187 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: lady named um ironically Lauren Piper. Okay, yeah, okay. So 188 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: Lauren Piper and I went to a movie. It was 189 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: our first time allowed to go to the movies. I 190 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: knew going into that I wanted to kiss Lauren. Okay. 191 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: So I looked at her and I put my arm 192 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: around her, and I was trying to find the right 193 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 1: angle or the right way. I didn't know if I should, 194 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 1: you know, move her face towards me, if I should 195 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 1: tap her on the shoulder so she turns and looks 196 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: at me, and then kiss her. I was having a 197 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 1: hard time a sting to the right angle, especially sitting 198 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 1: in movie sets, which you know, back then weren't comfortable. 199 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 1: We didn't have the lounge chairs. So what I decided 200 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: to do was like what every um romantic does, like 201 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,199 Speaker 1: Fred does. I looked at Lauren and I said, Lauren, 202 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: I would love to kiss you right now, but I 203 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: can't figure out how. Oh wait, this is in the 204 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: middle of the movie theater. In the middle of the 205 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:35,319 Speaker 1: movie theater. But guess what happened, Ashley, what we kissed? 206 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 1: So who was winning? Then you are exactly So it 207 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: works and and Fred got his kiss, even though minutes 208 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: later Rachel breaks his poor heart. And that's why I 209 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: was pulling for Fred. I said, this guy right here 210 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: knows what he wants, he doesn't exactly know how to 211 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: get it, so he's just gonna verbalize how he's feeling, 212 00:11:54,520 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 1: which I find intriguing. Okay, I agree, in fact, but 213 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: I also want to talk more about your first kiss 214 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: and like asking for kisses, because Rachel didn't like that 215 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: at all. But I think it's cute. I mean, I 216 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: think it's cute depending on the guy, of course, Like 217 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: if that was Blake asking for a kiss, I'd probably 218 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: say no, and that would be, you know, a great 219 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: way to say no. But actually, Um, in Paradise, Wells 220 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: asked me and they didn't edit that in, and I 221 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: thought it was the cutest thing in the entire world. 222 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: We were asking each other like random questions like what's 223 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: your fair band, what's your favorite food and all that, 224 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: and I go, do you have any more questions for me? 225 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: And he said, can I kiss you?

I 337 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 1: got really heated over watching him because intag like the 338 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 1: way he antagonized these guys and the way it was 339 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: so on purpose, and just looking into his eyes made 340 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: me very like see a lot of of there was. 341 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 1: There was a statement he made in the previews last night. 342 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,360 Speaker 1: They said when I see somebody angry and I smile 343 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: at them and they get even angry. I think his 344 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,159 Speaker 1: words were somewhere around the round. And I don't want 345 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 1: to qute him exactly because I don't know him for sure, 346 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,119 Speaker 1: but it said something like I get joy in that 347 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,399 Speaker 1: and to me and to me that that that just 348 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,400 Speaker 1: made made my skin crawl, and I know it made 349 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: yours crawl because we we both you know, we're talking 350 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 1: about this week's podcast and what we're going to talk about, 351 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: and we both said, this guy right here is when 352 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 1: we need to watch out for from here and now. 353 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 1: Right Okay, So the other villains in the franchise, there's 354 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 1: usually a sense of humor aloon that comes with it. 355 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 1: They're like, oh, they're putting scary music behind it, and 356 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 1: they're saying something dumb. This was just this. There was 357 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,919 Speaker 1: nothing funny about about his behavior. Nothing. You're actually friends 358 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 1: with one of the most famous villains from the franchise, right, 359 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,399 Speaker 1: Uh who would that be? Oh? Yeah, Karan, I was 360 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: gonna say, they're Olivia too. I mean, I like, I 361 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,440 Speaker 1: really like that, Okay, and either one of them are 362 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:48,239 Speaker 1: actually villains. Yeah, but I think on their respective seasons, right, 363 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 1: they were there. That was kind of the character that 364 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 1: they played. To be honest, I think Taylor was really 365 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: the villain, and this season Taylor from next season, the 366 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 1: one that Karin had the two on one with she kid, 367 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 1: they kind of flipped switched, you know, to flip the 368 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: switch on us. Yeah. So I mean we have Karin 369 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: who was on a NIX season who um you're good 370 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: friends with, who was arguably the villain along with Taylor, 371 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 1: and then Olivia who was on my season of The Bachelor, 372 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: who I think played played the villain or just maybe 373 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: uh the woman who was misunderstood misunderstood. So as we 374 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 1: talked about Karin. She's actually gonna be in Paradise this year, 375 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,880 Speaker 1: and we have a caller who I think we could 376 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: we could ask her, but I think she found love 377 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 1: in Paradise. Hey, Lace, are you out there here? He Hello? Lake. 378 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:45,880 Speaker 1: So Lace was on my season of The Bachelor. Lace 379 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 1: is someone that I've gotten to know outside of the show. 380 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 1: She is a fellow Denver I and um, Lace came 381 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: back from Paradise this year with a man on her arm? Correct, Yes, Lace, 382 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: I want to know there that was really love right there? 383 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: Or was it less? I think it's a lot. There's 384 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 1: definitely a lot. What's the difference. Okay, So I think 385 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: loss is like sexually and you just kind of like 386 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 1: you have this fantasy of what you want and you 387 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,879 Speaker 1: want to like you want it to work. Do you 388 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 1: think this guy's attractive? You think you're in love? It's 389 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:26,919 Speaker 1: almost so forced. And then, um, first of love, I 390 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: found love right now, Like now I'm really in love? 391 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: Whoa whoa whoa whoa wa. So you're in love right now? 392 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 1: But not with Grant who was on Joe Joe's season 393 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: of the Bachelorette. Who you came back from Paradise with 394 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,159 Speaker 1: with somebody else and that was a lot. Yeah, that 395 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 1: was okay. So with Granted was lost, but now you're 396 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: in love. Tell us about this guy? Yeah, Um, I 397 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: ironically found him on bumbo. It was a weird story. 398 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:52,919 Speaker 1: But we just talked for like two months and then 399 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 1: we finallyma and the rest is history. That's it. You 400 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: talked for two months? What made you take so long 401 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 1: before meeting in real life?

We were just taxing, and we both were 406 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,120 Speaker 1: just really crappy at texting each other back. And then 407 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: finally he sent me a tack and it was really funny, 408 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 1: and I like, why have I not met this guy yet? 409 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: And it finally went on our first date and yeah, 410 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: how long have you been together?

Obviously there's a 518 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,880 Speaker 1: little bit of history there between me and Sarah. Wait 519 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,959 Speaker 1: what I don't know this history? Yeah, you gotta explain 520 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 1: the history. We know it as friends, but the world doesn't. 521 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 1: I actually have no clue what you're talking about, So 522 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,400 Speaker 1: please tell me. I think you know Robbie and they're 523 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,400 Speaker 1: kind of met.

Um, But it will be interesting to 532 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: see how that plays out in Paradise. Can we confirm 533 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 1: that Sarah's there?

And this 563 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 1: is why Bet and I make the perfect team here 564 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 1: because I would talk too much and then he keeps 565 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 1: me in line. If if you have something you want 566 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 1: to say to Chase, I recommend two things. One thing 567 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 1: as you can probably get his number. Two is in 568 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 1: and even um, I think a better idea because, as 569 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,479 Speaker 1: we talked about last week, your dating life isn't exactly 570 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 1: going to plan. Um do a texting Chase. Let's talk 571 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 1: about your dating history because last week we mentioned Chris 572 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 1: Strambert and Chris has continued to confuse it continue since 573 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: last week's episode? Correct? Correct? Okay, catch catch us all 574 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 1: up on that? All right? So let's see we left 575 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 1: off with that counting for that confrontation on the air, 576 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 1: and that was really awkward and I have never been 577 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 1: so embarrassed in very very long time. Then I saw 578 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 1: him two days later. Um that Clever TV, which is 579 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 1: where I do some hosting and we did a little 580 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 1: interview and he continued to tell me that I was 581 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 1: the prettiest girl he's ever seen in his life and 582 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 1: asked the and asked the crew. He was like, is 583 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 1: she not the prettiest person you've ever seen? And I'm like, 584 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:53,720 Speaker 1: this is ridiculous. Okay, so then get this you guys. 585 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 1: Chris is going to be super pissed that we're airing 586 00:31:55,920 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 1: this um. But then again, he was probably in the wrong. Uh. 587 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 1: He The next day, it's his birthday and I text 588 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 1: him Happy Birthday. We go back and forth for a 589 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 1: little bit, and this is after he was flirtatious the 590 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 1: day before. Then about four hours after the initial birthday 591 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 1: conversation is over and which he tells me that he 592 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 1: wants to go on a hike with me this weekend. 593 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 1: Four hours later, he goes, hey, would you mind setting 594 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 1: me up with some of your friends? And I was like, 595 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 1: so that is him trying to really make it clear 596 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 1: that he does not want to actually date me, and 597 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 1: that is totally fine, But I also think that he 598 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 1: could get that set up through one of his guy friends, 599 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 1: even through you, because you know some of the girls 600 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:44,720 Speaker 1: that he wanted me to set him up with I 601 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 1: do and I and I Chris is one of my 602 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 1: good friends. I think super highly Chris, and I know 603 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 1: that he's not doing anything here, um intentionally, it seems 604 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 1: very intentional. But when but when I talked to Chris 605 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 1: here recently, he mentioned that there might be something happening, 606 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 1: um this week, uh, with just the two of you 607 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,440 Speaker 1: or with just the two of us. We're going to 608 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 1: the Nets on the Plot concert together. But it's definitely 609 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:16,280 Speaker 1: just his friends. Well it sounds like it's just his friends. Oh, 610 00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 1: but I should also say that he's like texted me 611 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:22,240 Speaker 1: again saying something this week like asn't two days ago, 612 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 1: saying I'm falling in love with these pictures of you. 613 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 1: And I'm like, what he's laying it on thick? So confused? 614 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 1: I like how I like how thick he lays it on, Like, 615 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 1: I mean, oh my gosh, he's pictures of you are 616 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 1: so sexy. And in the next moment he's texting you 617 00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 1: like and by the way, can you set me up 618 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 1: with your friends? It's so weird. And then that same 619 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 1: day that he texted me the whole like I'm falling 620 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 1: in love with these pictures of you. Think he ended 621 00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 1: up he told me, he's like, you're prettier than Kim Kardashian, 622 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:56,680 Speaker 1: Like you're so crazy. Ben. You know him probably way 623 00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 1: better than I do. And I know that he's not 624 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:02,120 Speaker 1: like a hook up guy, Like he's not looking for 625 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 1: a hook right, And like the good thing is I'm 626 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 1: not really invested in this. I'm just really mostly confused. Um. 627 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 1: All right, to close out the podcast this week, we're 628 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 1: gonna take one last caller. She's been on the line 629 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,480 Speaker 1: now for a while, uh, with with a question it 630 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,800 Speaker 1: looks like for me one that she she wants a 631 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 1: little more explanation on and I would love to give 632 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,279 Speaker 1: it to her.

Um, and 640 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,400 Speaker 1: it was just like really nice to see being so 641 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:54,279 Speaker 1: real about it. Well, thanks Erica. And and for those 642 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,040 Speaker 1: who don't know the post she's talking about as a 643 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,719 Speaker 1: post that I I put on Instagram this week. UM, 644 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 1: that really really came out of a place of of 645 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 1: a place from of peace. UM. And as Erica said, 646 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,760 Speaker 1: you know, we haven't talked a lot about on the podcast, 647 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:12,120 Speaker 1: but but Lauren, UM and I have broken up. And 648 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,920 Speaker 1: it's easy to speak very positively of my relationship with 649 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,600 Speaker 1: Lauren and of Lauren because of the woman she is 650 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,359 Speaker 1: and in the place that we're at in our relationship. UM. 651 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,279 Speaker 1: So that's not hard, right, That's that's easy. And and 652 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,720 Speaker 1: I and I actually in a sense and joy speaking 653 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,480 Speaker 1: highly of her because that's the only gift I can 654 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:34,239 Speaker 1: still give her. UM. But the post came from a 655 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:35,920 Speaker 1: place that is you have a lot of judgment coming 656 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:37,880 Speaker 1: out of relationship. And and and I don't want to 657 00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,320 Speaker 1: talk a lot about my relationship with Lauren. That's not appropriate, 658 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,680 Speaker 1: that's not right. But what I will say is that 659 00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:47,240 Speaker 1: when you really care about somebody, and you really love somebody, 660 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,759 Speaker 1: and that has to end for whatever reason, even just 661 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,440 Speaker 1: reasons that maybe either person can't really explain it just 662 00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:55,600 Speaker 1: just a feeling, it has to has to end, and 663 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,480 Speaker 1: you have to go your separate ways. It hurts, it 664 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:02,600 Speaker 1: hurts bad. And when you have people continually putting that 665 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,800 Speaker 1: on you and and and saying things, um that not 666 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 1: only hurt me but also hurt Lauren, I felt like 667 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:10,520 Speaker 1: it was time for me to make a post to 668 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,560 Speaker 1: say to say one thing, and what I said was this, 669 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,280 Speaker 1: you can judge me. You can you can judge Lauren. 670 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:19,480 Speaker 1: I can't stop that. Um, but that won't affect me 671 00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,400 Speaker 1: because I only have one thing I will be judged by, 672 00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,839 Speaker 1: and and that is uh, my belief and it got 673 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:29,280 Speaker 1: above and UM, I will hold myself to that standard. 674 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,760 Speaker 1: I will hold myself to that standard through this podcast, 675 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:35,319 Speaker 1: through the work that I do outside of this podcast, UM, 676 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 1: and I will hold myself to that standard in relationships. 677 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:41,320 Speaker 1: And so for anybody wanting to hurt me, or to 678 00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:43,960 Speaker 1: hurt Lauren, or hurt anybody out there on social media, 679 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:46,880 Speaker 1: I wanted to to communicate that you can do that, 680 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,680 Speaker 1: but no, that I believe in something bigger than that, 681 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,640 Speaker 1: and so your words won't hurt uh, they'll just sting 682 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:58,560 Speaker 1: a little bit.
