68
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 3: older guy's Charles, because Charles is common enough name amongst

00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:39,760

159
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 2: person named guy that is not confident and not somebody

160
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,680

162
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 2: like a numbered serium doctor. Like, can you imagine this

163

Speaker 2: guy at like forty years old, big old chin on him,

164
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,960

166
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,120

167
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:17,360

Speaker 2: a caterer, and he's sixty eight.

170
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 3: On May twenty second, nineteen seventy seven, he was sitting

172
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 3: Elvis concert in Chicago. That's cool.

173
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 2: I thought Elvis's last concert was in Indianapolis, Indiana.

174
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 3: Wait for real, I think, So we're gonna have to

175
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 3: We're gonna have to do some research on whether or

176
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 3: not Jack is telling a little fib here.

177
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 2: We're gonna do a little research right now. Elvis's last

178
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:57,559
Speaker 2: concert before he died June twenty sixth, nineteen seventy seven,

179

180
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 3: Oh, Ben, you are right, Okay, So let's just read

181
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 3: this and make sure Jack was sitting front row at

182
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 3: Elvis's last concert in Chicago. Maybe it was Elvis's last

183
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 3: concert in Chicago.

184
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it says May twenty second, so May and

185
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 2: then June was his last and so yes, he went

186
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 2: the month before to Chicago. Yeah, that makes sense. He's

187

00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 3: of my favorites just by the looks. It's particularly him

191
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 3: in the video that they have released on Instagram. The

192
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 3: guy has a good swoon face. He's got a good

193
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 3: like a good model face. H He's up there with

194
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,680

Speaker 3: fun fact on him?

199
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 2: Yeah? One that's confusing to me. Jonathan starts every day

200
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 2: with two cups of coffee in bed. It sounds ticket,

201
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 2: sounds nice, that's like me. But does that mean he

202

Speaker 2: has to get out of bed, make a cup of coffee,

203
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 2: go back to bed, then get out of bed, make

204
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 2: another cup of coffee, and come back to bed. Yeah,

205
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 2: that's awful. Why would you do that?

206
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 3: Why wouldn't you do that? This is kind of what

207
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 3: I do. I have one, I enjoy it, and then

208
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,439

00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,800

Speaker 3: Jordan misses the days when visitors would stop by unannounced.

213
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 3: I understand. Did you remember that time?

214
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like our childhood. Nowadays sounds worse than.

215
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:40,000

320
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 2: chair makes me think he's around a while. We are

321
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 2: going to break down these guys in more detail at

322
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 2: a later time. We just want to get their names

323
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,120

324
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 2: look them up if you're from that area. Final thoughts

325
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 2: on this cast. I am great, insanely surprised and also

326
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 2: impressed with the casting that the show did to find

327
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 2: these guys. I thought they'd have a really hard time.

328
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 2: I thought they'd find a lot of duds, and from

329
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 2: the looks of every single one of these pictures. From

330
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 2: the pictures we don't know these guys yet, but from

331
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 2: the pictures, from the looks of these pictures, I think

332
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 2: this cast is going to be absolutely tremendous and they

333
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 2: have a lot of depth, and I think we're in

334
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 2: for another good season. Now. I know people will hear

335
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 2: about the Golden Bachelor and go, gosh, that was such

336
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 2: a good season and such a sad ending and it

337
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 2: just kind of got messy at the end and all

338
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 2: that stuff. Sure, I don't disagree with that. I don't

339
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 2: think we give up on this show yet.

340
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 3: No, it doesn't. It's not necessary repeat.

341
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think is going to be an tremendous lead.

342
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 2: I think she is beautiful, I think she's captivating. I

343
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 2: think she's super smart. I think she is going to

344
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 2: lead this show really well. And I think these guys

345
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 2: are going to bring some incredible television outside of the drama,

346
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 2: but bring incredible television because we're going to get into

347
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 2: their stories. And that's what got me last time.

348
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 4: Well, why would you think that they're going to be

349
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,199
Speaker 4: duds because I feel like they Yet, They've gotten so

350
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,479
Speaker 4: many years worth of applications for this show, whereas like

351
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 4: the Regular Show, it's a yearly application type thing.

352
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 2: Quite honestly, and I could be wrong. I thought they

353
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 2: would have a hard time finding guys willing to go

354
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 2: on the show at that age.

355
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 3: It's harder to find guys of that age, thought.

356
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 2: I thought it would be harder to find guys of

357
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 2: that age that would say yes to going on this show.

358
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 3: You probably are right, But they only needed to find

359
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 3: twenty four and I think they probably were successful with that.

360
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 2: Well, I think they're very successful, That's what I'm saying.

361
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 3: I like, you're just going based on pictures and bios.

362
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 2: Ben, That's all I got. It's oh my god, Ashley,

363

364
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 2: this season of The Golden Bachelor. As I said, we

365
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 2: will be back breaking down these guys in more details,

366
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 2: judging them so harshly in the most unfair and untrue

367
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,239
Speaker 2: ways later on. But for now, we do have their

368
