That is? 32 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: I'm sorry that so weird. My sister was just speculating 33 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: and she came up with that and I was like, 34 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: there's just no way, totally relevant at this point. Wow. 35 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: So Ari from um, what season was he? I mean 36 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: he was I believe he was Emily Maynard number two, 37 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: so he was beat by Jeff Holme for the Love 38 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: of Emily Maynard, which didn't last. Why are you doing 39 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: so far back? I mean, I'm just giving you the information. 40 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 1: So he got to be now in his thirty five. 41 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: He's six ft three I believe, and he's thirty five. 42 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: He's born in one He has dark brown hair with 43 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: a speckle of gray. He did get his height rate 44 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: his family. His family is a part of just to 45 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: get some people some background here, his family is a 46 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: part of the line that gracing family. Ari. Um, from 47 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: what I know about him, you know he's a race 48 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,399 Speaker 1: car driver or he's an indy car driver himself. Um. 49 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,839 Speaker 1: He obviously has not found love since the show, which 50 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: considers me a little thing. Um, looking, Ben, your phone sucks. 51 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: Keep driving for a second, Ashley, you talk while Ben 52 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,399 Speaker 1: tries to get a better signal. Okay, Well, Um, he 53 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: was supposed to be or he was the bachelor. Was 54 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 1: down to the choice of bachelor was down to Crystals 55 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 1: and Ari. Back when I was about to go on 56 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: the show, and they made the decision that was Crystals. 57 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: And I even told casting I go if it's Ari, 58 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: I probably won't do it, but I'll do it for Chris. 59 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: And that's not as I think it's Ari. I just 60 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: felt like I felt really detached from him, like I 61 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: never had an emotional connection to him. He seems like 62 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: a nice guy. I was always just so team Jeff 63 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: home that I couldn't that I didn't even see Ari. 64 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: What a bad judge of care I know, right, this 65 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: is I know for real? So they cast all the 66 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: women before they cast a bachelor. I think they have 67 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: it down to at least roughly fifty. I think they 68 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: have it down to at least fifty at this point. 69 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: Have either of you met him. I've met him many 70 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: many times. Oh really, I'm trying to remember because it's 71 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 1: so blurry. What year was that? Um, it was two thousand, 72 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 1: it was the summer of two thousands. I mean I've 73 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: hung out with him quite a bit, like a lot. 74 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: I like him a lot, a lot like I've had 75 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: lunches and dinners and all sorts of hanging out with him. 76 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 1: He's a really good guy. Oh good. Yeah, I have 77 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: nothing but nice things to say about him. I just 78 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: have not seen him in years. There's a summer of 79 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 1: twelve that was the summer of you guys, No wonder, 80 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: I don't remember. It was five years ago. I can't 81 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: be expected to remember five years ago. And I actually 82 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: have a couple of girlfriends who date in him post 83 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 1: post Emily Maynard. Yes, and one I think he hung 84 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 1: out with within the last couple of months, you know, 85 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,840 Speaker 1: more than we did. Yeah. No, I like him a lot. 86 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: I've never known how to say his last name though. 87 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 1: How do you say that Liondyite. Liondite is so random, 88 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 1: Rove random. Well, let's break it down. So Flice's tweets 89 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: were right like, I am shocked, are you? Yep? I 90 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: am shocked. It wasn't from Jojo season it um probably 91 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: somebody who actually is in it for love and not 92 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: same right now because he's already had that taste. And well, 93 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: let's be honest, this is this is the greatest thing 94 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: that's ever happened to this guy. Oh yeah, well, I 95 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 1: mean he does come from a lion Dyke family. Like 96 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 1: that's not like like discount his family. They're very successful, wealthy, 97 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 1: good looking family. So ari, if he wanted fame, he 98 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: has a name to back it, you know, I want 99 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: to know. I guess the question then would be, we 100 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 1: gotta get something in the line. Why wasn't already chosen 101 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: last time above Sean Low? No, Sean Low was Shan Low. 102 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 1: He beat an outs of this title Swan who was 103 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: Sean Low who was the bachelor after Himily made Yeah, 104 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: and then Chris he was the ultimate selection up against him. 105 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: So this is it's finally his time. He kept his 106 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 1: name in the bucket. He's kind of like, oh it 107 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: is it's just like Nick. They obviously think he's very 108 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: bad flare worthy. Well, there you go. Final thoughts before 109 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: we say goodbye. Actually, what do you think? What? I 110 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: think this is awesome because it's kind of it kind 111 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,159 Speaker 1: of gets us out of the circle that we're already 112 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: in because people don't like what the way the cat 113 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 1: has been Necessarily they don't feel attached to the cast 114 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: from the past two seasons. So maybe like bring like 115 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: a vintage choice to it and we can start fresh again. 116 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: That's right, Hey, I think you're right. You know, if 117 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: Ari was doing this for fame, he's already got it. Uh. 118 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: He for whatever reason, he's been single for a while. Now, 119 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: he's good looking, he's successful. Um, the ladies are going 120 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: to be shocked. Uh. And I'm excited to watch Ari 121 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: as the next batch. I think he's excited to see 122 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: what he looks like these days. Yeah, hopefully killed decent. 123 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: And also, um, just look at his Instagram. He has 124 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: five hundred, not k just five hundred followers. No, no, 125 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: are you looking at the right guy? I think so. 126 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: Because Instagram didn't start until about seven months after Emily season, 127 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: I did not get it Instagram until seven months after 128 00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: EMLA season well he uh that could have changed very quickly. 129 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: And uh the Almost Famous podcast you hear it here.
