1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: This is the Benn and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: with i R Radio. Ashley, I have some incredibly special

3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: guests with us today, my parents, David and Amy Higgins.

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: They are sitting here with us, so excited to be

5
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 1: around us today. Um. They're here because I am running

6
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 1: my very first half marathon and so being the supportive

7
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: parents they are, they are coming out to watch us.

8
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: And as they come out to watch us or watch me,

9
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: I guess run because actually I don't. I don't see

10
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: you um running? Do you do you run? Actually? Heck no? Um?

11
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: When I was in high school is the last time

12
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,599
Speaker 1: I actually had to run? And let me know if

13
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: this is too crazy, because I've always thought it was

14
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 1: my high school. You didn't get an A in Jim

15
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: unless you could run two point five miles in twenty minutes.

16
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: That's insane. That's like seven, isn't it something? First off? Ashley? Um,

17
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: two point five miles in um twenty minutes is not

18
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: seven minutes and thirty seconds? What is it like? Is

19
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: it eight minutes? Uh? A little bit over? Yes, but

20
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: I'm running the mile right now. My goal for this

21
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: half marathon is to be under two hours, and so

22
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: I think that's about a nine a little bit under

23
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 1: a nine minute pace. And how long have you been

24
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: training for? Oh? I'm just exhausted hearing about my whole life,

25
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 1: training my whole life for this moment. So my parents

26
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: came out here today and then along with that, my

27
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: mom for some reason another said she's so proud of me,

28
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: and I think she wants to tell us why. Okay, Ashley,

29
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,559
Speaker 1: first of all, thanks for letting us hang out today.

30
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: But I have the best story that I think that

31
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: you will enjoy and the listeners will enjoy. After last

32
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: week listening about all of the viewers are the listeners

33
00:01:55,440 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: that we're calling in about Bin's mispronunciation, it dawned on

34
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: me I have like something that is going to make

35
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 1: so much sense to everybody now, Okay, and so here's

36
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: just a quick little story. When Ben was just just

37
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: a toddler and started to talk, Uh, it was more gibberish,

38
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: and it went through that way for many years and

39
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: then many years, many years, when did you start talking? Okay,

40
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: let me finish, because it's it's it's quite complicated. At

41
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: four years old, Like any good mom would do, I

42
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: sent him to pre k for to get ready for kindergarten.

43
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: We went through the whole year, and at the pre

44
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: K graduation, his preschool teacher called us aside his father

45
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: and I and said, Mr. And Mrs Higgins, I would

46
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: really like to have you consider having your son go

47
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: through pre K four again. She said, he just does

48
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: not have a strong command of the English language. I know,

49
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: look at him now, like he's just the master of talking. Okay,

50
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: So we we did pre K four again, send him

51
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: off to kindergarten, and for the next six years, through

52
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: his elementary years, he did speech therapy like twice a

53
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: week where all through sixth grade. And so I got

54
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 1: to laughing after last week, and I'm thinking, there's nothing

55
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: unusual about him receiving like advice on how to speak,

56
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: because he's done his whole life, and I'm so proud

57
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: of the fact that after all those challenges, look at

58
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: him now. That so funny because Ben is just known

59
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: as the best spoken bachelor, you know, the most well

60
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: spoken bachelor. And when I think of Ben's radio voice,

61
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: it's just it's wonderful. It's like he was made to

62
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: speak publicly well. I think a lot of that comes

63
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: from all the years of him being so intentional about

64
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: the way. Yes, that must be it. Um, that's a

65
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: that's the story my mom wanted to share so you

66
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: can join us today. Yeah, I used to say, just

67
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: for anybody to know it's um, I used to say,

68
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: tweet wabbit. Um. You know, anything with an R was

69
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: a w to me. And so if anybody out there

70
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 1: else is struggling, please message me or tweet about your

71
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: issues with the English language and make sure you hashtag

72
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: almost Famous podcast because I would love to read your stories. Um.

73
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 1: Before we go on, I have a question, what is

74
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: something that like you grew up thinking the word was

75
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 1: different than it actually is. It's like I used to

76
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: think it was girl cheese, not grilled cheese, because only

77
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 1: girls would eat girl cheese grilled cheese. Girl. Um, so

78
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: maybe especially you know, I don't I don't know if

79
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: I ever realized that's not how you say it until

80
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: you know, recently, as as I said, when people started

81
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: to re least pointed out. So I think that's probably

82
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 1: a good, uh, a good example of that. Speaking of

83
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: something especially good, you told us last time that you're

84
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: going to the New Kids on the Block concert right

85
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: after we've filmed this podcast with Luke Pell from Joe

86
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: Joe's season of The Bachelor at Chris Strandberg from Caitlin

87
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: season The Bachelor, who you both you and I both

88
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 1: are really good friends with and we're still trying to

89
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: figure out if you maybe a little bit more than friends.

90
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: This storyline has seemed to exist through the last four

91
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 1: weeks of this show, and I'm excited to see how

92
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 1: this goes down. And then Amy Sugarman, who was a

93
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: producer on our show um or on this podcast all

94
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: of you went to the New Kids on the Block

95
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: concert in Los Angeles, and I'm excited to hear how

96
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: did this go down? How was it? And was Chris

97
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: showing signs finally of a little bit more than just friends?

98
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: All right, well, let me start off just talking about

99
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: my passion and my love New Kids on the Block.

100
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: I have been too over. I'm gonna say over twenty

101
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,559
Speaker 1: five New Kids on the Block concerts within the past

102
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: eight years. We're getting reactions in the room. It's like,

103
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 1: it's undescribable. What happened. I don't have happens to me

104
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: or what happens to the whole arena. The entire thing

105
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: is crazy. Ashley and her sister no, every word to

106
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 1: every song and every dance move. Then the New Kids

107
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 1: on the Block are somewhere between chippendales and singing. And

108
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: at one point this sums it up. Jordan's from New

109
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: Kids on the Block sang an entire song with his

110
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: creepy tank top pulled up to his neck. Yeah, that

111
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: is where Jordan's loves one show off his vocals like

112
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,799
Speaker 1: he will never let a show go by where Joey

113
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: is the only one with a solo. It's like, no,

114
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: if you have a soul, then I have a soul

115
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna be super dramatic about it. I will

116
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: take off my shirt. I'm gonna like wiggle my hips

117
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: like he does the exact same moves for legit the

118
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: past twenty eight years of his life, and they're still

119
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: on point. He looks great, they sound great, and they're

120
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: they're so self aware. They're very self where they know

121
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: exactly what they're doing. They know there's an element of

122
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: silliness to it. But all of us in the crowd

123
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: of twenty thousand, they're going nuts. We buy it, we

124
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: love it. We are screaming because we are actually feeling

125
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't know whether to smile, laugh or

126
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: cover my eyes. By the way, if anybody out there

127
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: is wondering, who, uh the young lady chiming in the

128
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: back is, that's Amy, who also went to the concert

129
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: with Ashley, the New Kids on the Block concert. Um. Actually,

130
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: I'm first off, can we slow down for a second

131
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: because you've been to twenty New Kids on the Block shows? Yeah,

132
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: just I had no idea they had done that many

133
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: shows in the last all right, well, I'm gonna give

134
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: you a little brief synopsis of why I am a

135
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: twenty nine year old New Kids on the Block van

136
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: because I kind of missed the ship, you know, I was.

137
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: I was like really born during their heyday. Their hey

138
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: day would have been from eight to and Um, I

139
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: lived in Boston, which is where they were from when

140
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: I was three, and I'm still angry at my mom

141
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: for not taking me to concerts during their peak at

142
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: the Boston Garden, Like that would have been the best

143
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: first concert experience ever at three years old. Anyway, Yeah, so, um,

144
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: there was a boy band route during the early to

145
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: mid two thousand's, This Real Um in Sync had basically,

146
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: you know, broken up, even though they pretended to go

147
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: just a hiatus and back Straight was on an actual hiatus.

148
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:33,199
Speaker 1: They came back. Um, So, my sister and I were

149
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: watching v H one and they kept trying to reunite

150
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: the New Kids in the Block, but they're like, no,

151
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: we're not going to reunite for this show. But my

152
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: sister and I had these songs stuck in her head forever,

153
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: and that went from downloading their entire catalog on iTunes

154
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: to buying every single piece of vintage merchandise on eBay

155
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: and then, oh my god, what's happened? Living in our

156
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 1: kept them in business, and you're the one that kept

157
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: them in business. So wait, so wait, I'm gonna see

158
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: this up. But like I used to live in my

159
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: own New Kids on the Block world with my sister

160
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: um during two thousand four. I would go to high

161
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: school my junior year with an orange New Kids on

162
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: the Block lunchbox and this amazing acid wash um jean

163
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: jacket that I actually got so much attention for the

164
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: other night at the concert. And I lived in my

165
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: own little world and we never thought we'd ever be

166
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: able to experience Nukids on the Block. But four years later,

167
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: united and now I've been to five concerts since and

168
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, and I'm friendly with the bank, find you

169
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: a date today, Like there was something we're gonna try

170
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: to do that may be impossible. Now I think you

171
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 1: might have shared a little bit too. That was crazy.

172
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: This is why I'm single because I shared too much

173
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: of everything. Ben I just like that she said it

174
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: was a boy band drought. Drought like this is a

175
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: sad time in Ashley's life and it's not two thousand eight.

176
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: The markets didn't collapse like absolutely good moment that changed

177
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: her drought. Well, you know in two thousand and eight.

178
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: Actually it's when the drought was replenished with water with

179
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: the Jonas brothers and the reunite and the reuniting of

180
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: Nucas on the post currently or now that we have

181
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: been without one direction for over a year, Yeah, we're

182
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: getting We're gonna need water soon. There's that show on

183
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: ABC that you're gonna be able to watch called boy Band.

184
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: I told them, I was like, if I don't have

185
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: a role in the show, I'm going to be very

186
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: disappointed in new ABC. Um. Rob Mills is totally he

187
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: totally knows what's going on. So just you know, I

188
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: just came up with the show idea, Ashley I am

189
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: still on board with Ashley I as the next Bachelorette. Thanks,

190
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: I believe. Here's here's where you're gonna get really excited.

191
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 1: Here's my idea. Every single suitor is a part of

192
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: a boy band. That's a good show. Wait, I'm getting sweaty.

193
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: Somebody copyright that really quick, because I actually really like that.

194
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: I have to say. Then, you know what's really funny

195
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: is that you know my in your intro card, like

196
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 1: they have three facts when you are when your blue

197
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 1: pictures come out for the Bachelor the Bachelorette, then can

198
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: you explain that we don't know? Yes, yes, okay, so

199
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 1: on Facebook or at least with my season on Facebook,

200
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: when the cast was announced, they had the blue pictures

201
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: up on you know, different um Instagram posts and then

202
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: next to our faces on the blue picture, there's three

203
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 1: interesting facts about the person. One of my interesting facts

204
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: was that I had been too over twenty five Jonas

205
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: Brother concerts. I had a lot of fans immediately though,

206
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: a lot of girls are like, I'm gonna like this

207
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: Ashley I. So let's hear about this new kid on

208
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 1: the block. Yea, yeaheah, I'm sorry we've left last track.

209
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: I just wanted to tell you the meting pretty far

210
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 1: and your history of of boy bands, and I think

211
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 1: it's time to move now into Okay, how did this

212
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: concert go? Was it special for you? How? How was

213
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: the people around you? Did you and Chris happen to

214
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: lay one on each other? So I'm very particular about

215
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: who I bring to these concerts because they are sacred advents.

216
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: So it was like quite something that my sister and

217
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: I brought Luke and Cupcake and Amy. I mean, Amy's

218
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,559
Speaker 1: allowed everywhere, but you know, Cupcake a love interest to

219
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: a boy band concert. Didn't really know how I felt

220
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 1: about that. And I have to say, like, I'm pretty

221
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: darn sure that Chris and I are just friends, and

222
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I'm totally fine with that. I think

223
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: our chemistry is very friendly, it's not romantic, and I

224
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: just how do you think that? Um? I don't know,

225
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 1: I really don't know. I just vibe that I'm like,

226
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 1: I have no urge to make out with him? And

227
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 1: do you have an urge to make out with Luke? Though?

228
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: Oh well, apparently so did other people. Apparently so did others.

229
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: So get this vent and I don't know if you've

230
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: heard this yet. It's very, very funny. So I was

231
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: staring at Luke. All the girls around us were staring

232
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 1: at Luke, including our waitress. So we had a little

233
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: box at the Hollywood Bowl, and um, she was with

234
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: us for the night, the waitress, and at the end

235
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: of the night, during the last round, during the last

236
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: few songs, she slipped this little note in with I

237
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: think our check and it said you're hot. And she

238
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: handed it to Luke. That so that said, you're hot.

239
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: My name is this, here's my number? Really, yeah, I

240
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 1: thought it was a little I thought it was a

241
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 1: little aggressive. Oh I would have done it. That seems

242
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: like a pretty bold move from a female. I want

243
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: to ask my my mom actually this. I want to

244
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: know what they think. Yeah, she's she's from a different

245
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: time period, not that long ago. But have you ever

246
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: or would you ever pull that move on somebody? Would

247
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: you ever come up approach a man and hand him

248
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: your number if you had no clue who he was

249
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: and he's around for other women? You know, that's interesting.

250
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: I with a cocktail waitress and a waitress in a

251
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 1: pretty significant area of this world, and uh, I had

252
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: never crossed my mind. No, it seems like a lot.

253
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:16,199
Speaker 1: I mean, my only thought is that she possibly believed

254
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: Luke was single because she saw Ashley and Amy and

255
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: Ashley's sister drooling over new kids on the block the

256
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: whole time, so they thought, there's no way this guy

257
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: has a chance, Like he's he's mine tonight. It was

258
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: a little rude, like, how does she know that's not

259
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: my boyfriend or my husband or yours or something. I

260
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: don't know, well, because he's none of us are wearing rings.

261
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: That's why. So I normally am pretty timid when it

262
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: comes to like making moves. If you've ever watched The

263
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: Bachelor Bachelor in Paradise, Like, I can be either very

264
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: aggressive and obsessive or I can be really scared and

265
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: nervous and in a shell. Um. But if I were

266
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: to see Luke and I was like tending to him

267
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: all night, I would have probably done the exact same

268
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: thing the waitress did. To be honest, Yeah, And can

269
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: I throw in something because there's one time, you know,

270
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: you know, there's like that miss connections thing on Craigslist

271
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: and like other apps. Now I had a misconnection. Hold on,

272
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: hold on, there's there's a connection page on Craigslist that

273
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: you've been a part of, not that I've been a

274
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: part of. There's a there's a page where if you

275
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: have some sort of romantic connection, whether that's a glance

276
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: or like a nice conversation, but you didn't ask the

277
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: person their name or number, you can go and talk

278
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: about your experience on this message board on Craigslist. And

279
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: then if that person felt the same way and they

280
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: thought of the same thing to do, then they go

281
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: on Craigslist and they find you. What the heck? I

282
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: actually stay away from it. It is becoming clear and

283
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: clear to me why Ashley does not have a boy.

284
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I wait a second. Now, I have

285
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: never ever gone on this message board. I'm just aware

286
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: of it as the other people are in this room,

287
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: are amy, right, Okay, we're getting knots, all right, But

288
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: I need to tell you the story. Okay, keep you

289
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: I'm listening to Okay. So I was at this sandwich

290
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: place on Melbrose It's called Sack. This was back in October.

291
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: There was a very beautiful man. He looked like Aladdin.

292
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: He was so my type and I would never think,

293
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: you know, oh, I'm going to give him my number.

294
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: But then he started kind of talking to me a

295
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: little bit, just like a little bit. I had my dog,

296
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: he had his dogs, so we're just like, what's their name,

297
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: how old are they? What breed is it? You know,

298
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: like that. And then I'm texting my sister. I'm like,

299
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: this is the hottest guy and he's talking to me

300
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: and I don't know what to do and I know

301
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: what to do, and she's like, I don't know what

302
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: you do either, you know. So then I sorry, it's

303
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: a long story. So then I walk away. I leave

304
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: the sandwich place without you know, engaging further. And then

305
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: she's like, turn around and give him your number. Go

306
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: and turn around and just say, this is so crazy

307
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: of you, but you think you're really you think he's

308
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,360
Speaker 1: cute and this is your number, and then you walk away.

309
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: So I sat on the block for like four minutes

310
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 1: trying to decide whether or not to turn around and

311
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: do this. But then I chickened out and I didn't

312
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: do it. But then guess what I did. Guess what

313
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: I did. I went to the lady, the cashier, I

314
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: went back to the sandwich place, and I said, do

315
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: you happen to know that guy's name and his name

316
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 1: was Gabriel. So this is my misconnection Gabriel who lives

317
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: in West Hollywood and goes to sag on Melrose. I

318
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,679
Speaker 1: thought you were really cute. You had like a published dog,

319
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: and if you're listening to this, I like to meet you.

320
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: I mean, Ben, how do we help her? I have

321
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: a great idea on how we have helped Ashley later

322
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: on in this episode. I've came up with this master

323
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: plan that I'm super excited for. Right, Okay, We're gonna

324
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: have a segment now called Awkward Ashley and Awkward Ashley

325
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: speak more about this later. Is it's simply this. We're

326
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: gonna try to put Ashley in the most awkward situations

327
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: every week from here on out to the end of

328
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: this episode, and the first Awkward Ashley segment is going

329
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 1: to be about finding Ashley a blind date. So before

330
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: we get to the Awkward Ashley segment where we're gonna

331
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: try to find Ashley a date, we need to give

332
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: a quick shout out to one of our sponsors and

333
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,360
Speaker 1: just tell them thank you because ash and I actually

334
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: both really liked this sponsor. Um. The sponsor is Zeal

335
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 1: So you can either download the Zeal app, which is

336
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: the easiest way, or you can go to zeal dot

337
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: com which is z e e l dot com to

338

Speaker 1: help you get started. Our listeners can get up twenty

339
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: five dollars off their first massage by using the promo

340
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: code almost famous at checkout. Do it It's worth it.

341
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 1: You can get a massage in your house. We both

342
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: love it, um, and I wonder if our next color

343
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: loves it. So we have a caller on the line

344
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 1: who I believe is a fan of Ashley I and

345
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 1: The Bachelor and Bachelor at Mike, are you out there? Uh? Indeed,

346
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: I am here and I'm a ZAL fan too, Yes, perfect, Okay, Mike,

347
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: I I have to hear something from you. You've probably

348
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: heard bits and pieces so far of this story that

349
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: Ashley and Amy. You know, our producer is so flustered

350
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: over Um. They went to a concert this weekend with

351
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: a guy named Luke Pell. Luke Pell was on The

352
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: Bachelor at UM last season with Joe Joe and the waitress.

353
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: At this concert, they went to gave Luke her number

354
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: in front of all the girls. Okay, so they're claiming

355
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 1: this is in a very aggressive move on the part

356
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 1: of the waitress and a little bit disrespectful to the

357
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: girls around him. What's your thoughts. I mean, frankly, I

358
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: kind of applaud the waitress. Um, I do you too, Yeah,

359
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: I don't have any problem with that. I think that

360
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: a guy like Luke doesn't come around every day. You

361
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: do not see that. He's beautiful inside and out. Really,

362
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: he's like, just like he's walked out of a Nichols

363
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: Sparks movie. He is the war vet. He went to

364
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 1: West Point, he went to war, he came back. He's

365
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: a cowboy and he's a country singer. Like that is

366
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: a Nicholas Sparks book. I'm just breaking it down. Let's

367
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 1: say it was just you and Luke. You're the only

368
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: two people at the concert in the box, and she

369
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: didn't have done it. Yeah, that would have been a date.

370
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: That would have been that would have looked like a date. Yeah,

371
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 1: she might have still have done it, and maybe give

372
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 1: her more credit for that. She's really I'm so sorry.

373
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 1: You only live once, and can I tell you this story?

374
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. I have so many when it comes

375
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: to stuff like this. I was on a cruise in

376
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: January and I was sitting at one of like the

377
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 1: karaoke bars, and this guy came up to me. He

378
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: gave me a business card or what looked like a

379
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 1: business card, and it said, you want the most Beautiful

380
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: Girl in the Room Award. Because of this, you get

381
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: a free lunch on me. Here's my number and email.

382
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: And I actually thought that was super cute. Did you

383
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: give him? Did you text them? And he's got a

384
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: gross out so creepy. I think it's actually hute. I mean,

385
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 1: I think it's cute because the guy was nice looking.

386
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: I mean, he wasn't a stunner, but he was definitely attractive,

387
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: and I was like, it was good enough for a

388
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: free lunch. For a free lunch, I thought it was

389
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 1: kind of a nice way to hit on someone without

390
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: being super super aggressive. I hate it when a guy

391
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: comes up to me and they kind of expect that

392
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 1: I should want to give them my time of day. Mike,

393
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: what's your thoughts so far on this season The Bachelorrette, Um,

394
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: I really haven't watched too much of the show. I

395
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 1: spent more time listening to Your Guys podcast than I have. Yeah,

396
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,360
Speaker 1: you know so so. Frankly, I watched the show. Both

397
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 1: of them. The bat watch it with um, the whole family,

398
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 1: you know, mainly the daughters, the two daughters that I have,

399
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 1: Emma and Lucy. Lucy is had a dog, but his

400
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 1: daughter two daughters. Sorry, my dog's name is Lizzie, if

401
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: you remember she was in the Clouds of Paradise. Yes,

402
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: So I get two daughters that I watched with um.

403
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: And then I have an older son who's uh who

404
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: frowns upon it me watching it with them, and and

405
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 1: then my my I don't think my wife's very pleased

406
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,239
Speaker 1: with me watching to see there, but together, you know,

407
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: we're into this. We watch it. I think there's a

408
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: lot of teaching moments in the show. Frankly, a lot

409
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: of dads have told me this, please explain. Let me

410
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:35,719
Speaker 1: put it this. I like to be a little bit

411
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:41,360
Speaker 1: more optimistic and positive. Um. So, like I looked at Ben.

412
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 1: I you know, it's like I thought Ben in his shows,

413
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: I thought he was a very real, honest person. Uh,

414
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: And I thought that was you know, so you're sitting

415
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 1: with your daughters, It's like, that's the type of person

416
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 1: that you should look after. You should go after something

417
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,360
Speaker 1: like that. You know, you kind of what you see

418
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: is what you get. UM, and then you see somebody

419
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: uh you know, creepy or a dumpster fire. You know,

420
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: you you continue to say, that's that's not something we

421
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: want to seek out. You know, there might be some

422
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 1: attractive he or she may be a good looking but

423
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: you go a little deeper, you know, runaway type of thing.

424
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: And so that's kind of the way we look at

425
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: the show. Um, I'm a big fan of dumpster fires

426
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 1: and and and there. There certainly are the fair share

427
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: of dumpster fires on the show, but I also think

428
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 1: that there's a lot of good things you can get

429
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,679
Speaker 1: out of it, which which I try to focus on,

430
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: especially you know with the the younger daughters. Definitely, how

431
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: how old are your daughters? Uh well, Astley met him

432
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: the other day. There U sixteen and fourteen. Okay, yeah,

433
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: they're They're perfect age to watch the About fourteen, I

434
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 1: would say, is the most when I when I talk

435
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 1: to people as the age they pretty start they start

436
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,479
Speaker 1: watching the shows about fourteen years old. I think that's

437
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: when Chris Harrison started letting his daughter actually watching. Yeah,

438
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: they I mean they were, they were, They had a

439
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: really good time. They all and I mentioned they all

440
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 1: got their deal um massages. My wife was there, and

441
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: there was a couple other Evan was there and and

442
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,880
Speaker 1: Chase was there at this uh viewing party in Arenda.

00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,479
Speaker 1: Uh this very next place Jason, Jason, Evan and Carly

444
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:26,760

445
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: really nice time. That's awesome. You know. I think it's

446
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: always uh, I admire somebody like you who can admit, hey,

447
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: I watched this show. Um, because a lot of times

448
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 1: I get this reaction from guys. They'll come up to

449
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: me like, hey man, can I get a picture for

450
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 1: my girlfriend or wife? I don't really watch the show,

451
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: And then right when the picture is done, it's always

452
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: the same question, so like is it really that real?

453
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: Like did you? Did you really like that? Girl? You've

454
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: watched the show too, So I admire you for admitting

455
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 1: like it or maybe not even like it, but watch

456
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: it and then I do like it, And then you

457
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 1: talk to your daughters about it. You use it as

458
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: a platform just to speak about topics, which I think, um,

459
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 1: it does allow that, Like you said, you know, you

460
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: can speak about topics like sex and drugs and you know, um,

461
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 1: dealing with somebody that maybe doesn't exactly treat a woman

462
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 1: or somebody doesn't treat a man correctly. You can bring

463
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 1: that up based on it being shown on the show.

464
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: That's why I like you, Ben. You're a straight shooter.

465
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: If I had a kid, if I had a daughter,

466
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: I'd be wanting her to watch a guy like Ben

467
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 1: and then say like, that's the kind of guy you

468
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: want to find. Yeah, this segment is not about me, guys.

493
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,360
Speaker 1: never awkward. But I know there's some viewers out there

494
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,960

00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: about the idea of being set up on a date. Okay,

576
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: So I want to know the guy's name, his age,

577
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 1: and three interesting facts. Okay, Well, I think you know

578
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: him and you've definitely hung out with him, so I

579
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: don't think I need to give you the fact. Wait,

580
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: do you know him personally? No? I wish, And how

581
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: can you set me up if you don't know him personally,

582
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 1: and well, I mean like I've seen like your chemistry

583
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: with him on screen, so I just feel like it

584
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: could work. All right, go for it, um, Chris A. K. Cupcake, Well,

585
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: we were just talking about him. We're trying to get

586
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: away from him right now. We've been moving on. I

587
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 1: feel like when something I don't know, I feel like

588
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: you guys have this tension, and every time you guys

589
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 1: are on TV, it's like it's like I feel like

590
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: he's just confused. Are you giving him like the wrong

591
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 1: signal or something? I don't think so. I think he's

592
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: just confused by his own self. So when you guys

593
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: hang out, like, does he not enough for it with you?

594
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 1: And no, he's really flirty, but he's really flirty, but

595
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: like I really don't think I like him either, like

596
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: that like that really yeah, I wish because I really

597
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: like Cupcake and I really like, actually, I wish you

598
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 1: could work out. It doesn't sound like she's that into

599
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: it and he doesn't sound like he's that into it.

600
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: But we're gonna we're gonna keep this in mind. But

00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: ever since his podcast started, I've been having a lot

608
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 1: of situations to talk about. But that's not normally the

609
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 1: case anyway. So yesterday, I'm like going out the way. Yesterday,

610
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 1: I'm like out the door on the way to another date,

611
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: and I said to my sister ago, I'm going to

612
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: go meet a stranger right now so that I don't

613
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: die alone. Like I'm gonna go talk to somebody for

614
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: an hour in the sake of getting married at some point.

615
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: And I'm like, this is really stressful. It's not fun,

616
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: Like just it's not fun to go talk to a

617
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: stranger and have four small talk. So I'm going to

618
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: reward myself with a zeal massage after this. Like I'm

619
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: not even joking. Ben, If you set me up with

649
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: I was at mentel all following my taping of my

650
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: first season of Bachelor in Paradise. It was going to

651
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,320
Speaker 1: be the day that I saw Jared for the first

652
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 1: time since leaving him in Paradise. And I was very

653
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 1: nervous to meet Ben and Jared because well, Jared, you

654
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: know that was gonna be awkward. And Ben because I

655
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,800
Speaker 1: thought he was the other most wonderful person on Kaitlin season.

656
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: And um, we just talked a little bit at the

657
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 1: party and then he came back to my hotel room

658
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 1: with ten others and then we just we just talked

659
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 1: for a little while there. We had like a little

660
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: after party in my hotel room until like three in

661
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: the morning. It was fun. I remember that night because

662
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 1: I learned something for the very first time. What was that?

663
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 1: So when I walked to your hotel room, Uh, you

664
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: all were so incredibly nice to us. Right, we were

665
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 1: all kind of shell shocked. We we we were just

666
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 1: getting off a mentel. All. Uh, none of us had

667
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: really been a part of this bachelor family. Yes, we

668
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: really didn't know what the world was gonna off. Um,

669
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,800
Speaker 1: and you invite us back and it was a great time.

670
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: But I remember something sitting on the floor in your

671
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: hotel room that totally threw me off. And this was

672
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: a box. It was a box full of makeup. I've

673
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 1: never seen anything like this. Can you please explain exactly

674
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 1: what that was? Because I'm not saying it's abnormal now,

675
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 1: I'm learning that that exists, and that you have to

676
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 1: travel with certain necessities when it comes to makeup and

677
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: lotions and product. But your box has like lights. It's

678
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: it's a whole get up. Yeah. People saw it on

679
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: Paradise and I got so many tweets and emails about

680
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 1: this box. I don't remember the sight I got it from,

681
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,319
Speaker 1: but they were very sweet and sent it to me

682
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: because I reached out to a couple of makeup box

683
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 1: companies before Paradise and I said, hey, the lighting in

684
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 1: the Bachelor mansion was the very worst. Plus, all the

685
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,919
Speaker 1: girls are fighting over mirrors in the mansion because there's

686
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 1: really only like five mirrors, right, So I said in Paradise,

687
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 1: I'd love to avoid this problem and have my own

688
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: mirrors and lights and something to carry all of my

689
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 1: makeup in for all of my different Paradise looks, and

690
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 1: that they sent me in this wonderful box and uh yeah,

691
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:22,439
Speaker 1: my cloths in it. It's like a vanity box. You

692
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 1: open it up and then it folds out your makeup.

693
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: It looks like a carry ons case and it's really

694
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: professional makeup artist box and then the top flips up

695
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 1: and it has a mirror and six lights. It's wonderful.

696
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 1: It's great for traveling. No, it's great. So so anyways,

697
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 1: that was my first interaction to Ashley. Ever since then

698
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 1: we became we were we've been friends. Um, we've ran

699
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 1: into each other off and on then at different events

700
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: or when I've been in l a uh and and

701
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: every time Ashley has, and I said this in the

702
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 1: first episode, done nothing but be incredibly sweet to me,

703
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:00,840
Speaker 1: make me feel better about my off than I deserve.

704
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,399
Speaker 1: And so it only made sense for us to sit

705
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: down and talk like this on a podcast. And and

706
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 1: really that's where our relationship exists and it's it's still growing.

707
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 1: I want everybody know that Ashley and I are still

708
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:13,919
Speaker 1: going to know each other. It's funny, um and fun

709
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 1: talking to her about her dating life, about you know,

710
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: her sister and family, and about her sweet dog that's

711
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 1: now up in the clouds because I'm learning all these

712
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 1: things we go. So, speaking of speaking Ashley, we we

713
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 1: need to team up here. Okay. We got a big

714
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 1: caller coming in and it's gonna take both of our efforts.

715
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 1: So so I'm gonna let you handle this at first,

716
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:38,479
Speaker 1: because you always seem to give better advice than I would. Um.

717
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: But we have Lara from Philly Online seven and she

718
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:45,399
Speaker 1: has a question for us that I think we'll both

719
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 1: have to have to really think through. So, Lar, are

720
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 1: you out there? Hi? Yes, I am. How are you guys? Hey?

721
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 1: We're great. How are you? I'm okay? Um? Okay, yeah,

722
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:00,800
Speaker 1: I'm okay. How are you like? What's going on? So?

723
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,919
Speaker 1: I've been dating a guy for a little bit over

724
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: four years now. We met in college freshman year and

725
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 1: have been together ever since. Um, So I just I

726
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 1: don't know if the fires out or or what. I

727
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:18,879
Speaker 1: don't know. He's my best friend. You know, I love

728
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:20,840
Speaker 1: him as a friend, I feel like more than a

729
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:23,320
Speaker 1: boyfriend at this point, and I just can't tell if it.

730
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 1: You know, I'm in law school, so I'm busy. I'm

731
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: in my first year right now. I just finished, and

732
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: so I don't know if maybe the last year being

733
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 1: super busy has just made my you know, attention not

734
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: beef right to him, and so I lost some of

735
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 1: the chemistry, or maybe we really are just kind of

736
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 1: winding down and I don't know what you know, what

737
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 1: to do or how to think about it, and I'm

738
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,359
Speaker 1: just so confused, and you guys are like amazing. So

739
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,800
Speaker 1: you guys, I want your advice. Oh man, this sounds

740
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: like a question better suited for Ben to answer, you think, Okay,

741
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 1: well you have a good shot. Um, So so here's

742
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:04,439
Speaker 1: the deal. Uh, first, let me lay out some things

743
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:07,840
Speaker 1: that you already know, and I know our listeners already know. Um.

744
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 1: Relationships start out that and and there's this kind of

745
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 1: euphoric feeling, right, everybody's very excited. It's new. Um, it's

746
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 1: you're learning things about each other. You're still kind of

747
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,319
Speaker 1: like trying to impress each other. You don't want to,

748
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: you know, embarrass yourself in front of the other person

749
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 1: yet and that's a really fun time. I'm not going

750
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: to claim it's the best time of the relationship, but

751
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,879
Speaker 1: it's a really fun time because everything's new. Over time,

752
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 1: it's the honeymoon period exactly. Over time, it's natural for

753
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 1: those feelings to kind of fade and and not that

754
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: they ever completely go away, but the the euphoric feeling

755
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 1: the honeymoon, the feeling that the newness does go away.

756
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 1: And don't be scared of that. Don't run from the

757
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 1: idea that, oh, I'm just getting comfortable here, that that

758
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 1: could be. And I think that I'm um past the

759
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,799
Speaker 1: comfort because is I have thought about that, and I

760
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 1: feel like maybe like three years in, I was like, Okay, obviously,

761
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 1: you know, we're comfortable, and this is just it. The

762
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 1: honeymoon periods over. But at this point I almost don't

763
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:16,280
Speaker 1: even know if I, like am sexually attracted to him anymore?

764
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: Life is we barely have atly honest um, like, you know,

765
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 1: I feel like I find myself like I would obviously

766
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 1: never cheat on him or talk to another guy, but

767
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 1: I find my eye wandering more, which has never happened

768
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 1: in my life, and I So I feel like that,

769
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 1: I feel that I know the answer, but I'm scared

770
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 1: of the answer because you know, you obviously can't be

771
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,879
Speaker 1: friends with an next you know, I have right away,

772
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 1: but I don't know. I'm super confused, so I don't

773
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 1: know how to you know, he would be. I don't

774
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 1: want to hurt him either, but I guess staying in

775
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 1: too long is hurting him. Also. Is this your first

776
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 1: serious relationship? Yeah? Yeah, I mean I'm sure just the

777
00:42:58,120 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 1: thought of having to deal with a break up and

778
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 1: having to initiate it is probably very painful for you.

779
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 1: And like what Ben was saying, you know, biologically, there's

780
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 1: like something in our system that after two years the relationship,

781
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:14,280
Speaker 1: that passion has to cool off or then, like people,

782
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 1: society just wouldn't be functional because we'd all be like

783
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 1: running around with like those hard eye emojis like all

784
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:26,399
Speaker 1: the time. But it sounds like for you it runs

785
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:30,280
Speaker 1: a lot deeper than that. It's yeah, yeah, so actually

786
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 1: I think, Lara, if you don't mind, you haven't heard

787
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 1: this yet, but we have some special guests with Ashley Day.

788
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 1: My parents who have been married for thirty six years,

789
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:44,280
Speaker 1: so they've been listening and I think I'm gonna allow

790
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:46,799
Speaker 1: both of them just to give their short advice to you. Right,

791
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 1: So they've been married for thirty six years, they've been

792
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 1: through this, So I'm gonna start with my dad, Dave. Dave,

793
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: do you have any advice for Lara in this situation?

794
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:59,800
Speaker 1: You know, the love whatever you had initially, I assume

795
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 1: it's still there because I know each year, for thirty

796
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 1: six years, between my wife and I, it has continued

797
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 1: to get deeper and deeper and deeper. You'll get there,

798
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, So I think you know I've seen

799
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 1: it with them. Uh, every year they they invest in

800
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 1: each other more in a different way. That that euphoric

801
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:24,320
Speaker 1: feeling might not exist anymore, right, that that newnesses exist,

802
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 1: but the depth of it continue. So, Mom, what's your

803
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 1: what's your thoughts? Well, it's interesting that when Laura was

804
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 1: saying that, you know, they're best friends and the honeymoon

805
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 1: part is over. I remember probably midway through our thirty

806
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 1: six years. I remember the night vividly. We were getting

807
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,799
Speaker 1: ready to go somewhere and I stopped and I looked

808
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 1: at your dad and I said, you know what, we

809
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 1: have got to quit being just best friends. We need

810
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 1: to get back to being lovers. So we are we

811
00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:00,160
Speaker 1: are just really great friends. We like to hang out out,

812
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 1: we like to do the same things, but we aren't

813
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 1: lovers anymore. And not that like there wasn't any sex,

814
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 1: you know, sexual chemistry. You can say that, mom, that's

815
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:10,399
Speaker 1: weird and awkward for everybody, but you can say it. Yes,

816
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 1: but we had to try harder at it. We had

817
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:18,360
Speaker 1: to get you know, we had to to um spice

818
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 1: it up a bit or you know. And because it, yes,

819
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 1: you do you get comfortable, you get you do you

820
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 1: like the person that you kind of um just prefer

821
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 1: to hang out with, you know, and you do lose

822
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 1: some of that the hot steamy, so you kind of

823
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: have to be then intentional about it. So I mean,

824
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 1: for for you, you know, you're still dating this guy, right, Yeah,

825
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 1: we're together. Yeah, you're still dating. You're in this boyfriend

826
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:47,360
Speaker 1: girlfriend part of the relationship where there is you're instill

827
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 1: the exploratory stage. Okay, so there is a good thing

828
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 1: together though for two and a half years in college

829
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 1: like just us, no roommates, Like I feel like I've

830
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:59,240
Speaker 1: already been married to him. And then when he graduated college,

831
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 1: I went to law school and he went home, So

832
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:05,479
Speaker 1: we were long distance for a year and now we're here.

833
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 1: So I feel like because we genuinely lived I mean,

834
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:10,719
Speaker 1: we were in college living together, but like we had

835
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:13,840
Speaker 1: an apartment, you know, just us for two and a

836
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 1: half years. And you know, I feel like we've already

837
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 1: been through so many stages of relationships that year olds

838
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 1: don't always go through that I know, you know, I'm debating.

839
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 1: Like your mom said, I need to just put more

840
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:29,360
Speaker 1: effort in and try again and make the time to

841
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:31,400
Speaker 1: make some of that fire come back. Or is it

842
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 1: really just done? Because I just and I don't want

843
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 1: to drag it out longer. And girl, um, if you're

844
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:43,879
Speaker 1: not missing him and you're living further apart, you just

845
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:46,280
Speaker 1: shouldn't do with him anymore like my mom and actually

846
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:49,239
Speaker 1: is ready to break up with your boy. Sorry, it's

847
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 1: just can you break up with him for me to

848
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 1: support me that we need to do it together? Okay,

849
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 1: I can. I don't know. I've never broken up with

850
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 1: anybody either. Well, hey, Larry, we really appreciate your call.

851
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 1: I think the before we move on here, Um, the

852
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:06,359
Speaker 1: best question that I've ever been asked when it comes

853
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 1: to situations like this, because they're so confusing and sticky

854
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:13,879
Speaker 1: is can you picture your life without him? And if

855
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:17,800
Speaker 1: you can, and that seems to kind of either release

856
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 1: a burden or if being without him adds a burden

857
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 1: to your life. I think that's where you start, and

858
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 1: so that would be my only advices. Ask yourself that question, Lara,

859
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:28,319
Speaker 1: Thank you for calling. Thank you for your honesty. I

860
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 1: hope my parents and Ashley and I hope you a

861
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 1: little bit. And if we didn't, don't tell anybody and

862
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:36,399
Speaker 1: still listen to the podcast. We need you all right.

863
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 1: Well I'll be like they were the best even though

864
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 1: they weren't, but you were and your parents are amazing.

865

Speaker 1: I love you guys so much. Ashley listened to your

866

Speaker 1: touched the line of awkward a little bit. I got

875
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:12,879

892

Speaker 1: from your season. She was also known as the villain

893
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:04,840
Speaker 1: of your season, which is really just bus in my opinion.

894
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:10,600

895
