If for some reason you 0:00:15.290 --> 0:00:17.750 aren't following us on social medias, you have to. I 0:00:17.770 --> 0:00:20.870 don't know what you're doing.

Let's start with this one, Ashley. 0:00:32.670 --> 0:00:36.110 Ashley N. 0:00:36.409 --> 0:00:41.350 Stewart asks you, Ashley, will you break down the vow? 0:00:42.430 --> 0:00:44.199 Yes, we will be breaking down the vow. 0:00:44.260 --> 0:00:47.140 Ben and I are quite excited to do this. this 0:00:47.180 --> 0:00:49.120 is a show that we would watch whether or not 0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:50.780 we were breaking it down or not. So as long 0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:52.300 as we'll get on here. And I also think it's 0:00:52.340 --> 0:00:55.400 the closest thing to, we're going to get to bachelor 0:00:55.540 --> 0:00:57.220 S content for quite some time. 0:00:58.280 --> 0:00:58.440 Yeah. 0:00:58.460 --> 0:01:00.730 We're a hundred percent breaking it down. Like I'm excited 0:01:00.740 --> 0:01:02.700 to break it down. It feels like we'd be breaking 0:01:02.740 --> 0:01:04.809 down something we haven't been able to speak about in 0:01:04.910 --> 0:01:08.730 like over a year. Ashley, I love talking to you. 0:01:09.030 --> 0:01:10.730 Like you're one of my favorite people to talk to. 0:01:10.870 --> 0:01:13.350 And we have such a blast talking to each other, 0:01:14.450 --> 0:01:16.350 but I'm ready to have like some content. 0:01:16.940 --> 0:01:18.340 Me too. Me too. 0:01:18.459 --> 0:01:19.060 Let's go. 0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:27.250 Ben, the next question for you is from Maria Loves 0:01:29.330 --> 0:01:30.430 a Dream Center. 0:01:30.450 --> 0:01:34.090 Maria Loves I Can Dream Center. 0:01:34.110 --> 0:01:38.069 Maria Loves I Can Dream Center. Ben, is Winnie looking 0:01:38.230 --> 0:01:39.589 forward to being a big sister? 0:01:39.630 --> 0:01:40.590 Does she understand? 0:01:40.650 --> 0:01:43.650 Because your kids will be six months closer in age 0:01:43.709 --> 0:01:44.310 than mine. 0:01:44.590 --> 0:01:48.380 And Dawson... He got it. Yeah, he got it. But 0:01:48.420 --> 0:01:51.380 he wasn't looking forward to being a big brother. He 0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:53.120 didn't know what that meant. But he knew there was 0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:54.080 a baby in my belly. 0:01:54.820 --> 0:01:57.000 Yeah. I think we go in and out of if 0:01:57.060 --> 0:01:59.650 she really understands it or not. There's moments where it 0:01:59.690 --> 0:02:07.110 feels like she does. Right now, we've actually finished the nursery. 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:11.300 And some of Winnie's books... transferred over to the nursery, 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:13.540 and we were like, hey, this is for sister. And 0:02:13.580 --> 0:02:15.579 she would go grab a book and be like, for sister. 0:02:15.660 --> 0:02:17.200 And I'm like, I don't know if she actually knows 0:02:17.260 --> 0:02:18.220 what she's saying. 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:20.520 For sister. 0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:22.120 Yeah, for sister. 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:23.579 That's great. 0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:25.160 And then she told our neighbors the other day that 0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:26.960 she's going to be a big sister. 0:02:27.660 --> 0:02:29.980 Very advanced for not even two. 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:30.080 Yeah. 0:02:31.940 --> 0:02:34.360 She can talk really well. Like, she can converse. 0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:41.570 Yeah, that's amazing because Hayden is just really, he's, What 0:02:41.630 --> 0:02:41.910 is he? 0:02:42.010 --> 0:02:45.530 He's like eight. He's six months older than her. 0:02:45.990 --> 0:02:46.270 Yeah. 0:02:46.430 --> 0:02:49.030 And she talks way more than he does, but also 0:02:49.070 --> 0:02:49.510 she's a girl. 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:51.720 Yeah. I was going to say, I mean, I think it's, 0:02:51.940 --> 0:02:54.060 it's so different because we have friends whose kids haven't 0:02:54.100 --> 0:02:56.519 said a first word yet, you know, until they're two. 0:02:56.860 --> 0:03:00.519 And then, you know, when he for months now has 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:04.900 been able to communicate with us for certain things. Um, so, 0:03:04.980 --> 0:03:07.639 you know, everybody kind of goes about it differently, but she, I, 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:11.410 Because of how well she speaks, I think it's sometimes 0:03:12.710 --> 0:03:14.950 we get a little confused on if she actually knows 0:03:14.990 --> 0:03:17.050 what she's saying or not. Because she can say it. 0:03:17.410 --> 0:03:21.169 Does she get it? I don't know yet. But Jess 0:03:21.230 --> 0:03:24.870 is really good about at night when Winnie's getting her bottle. 0:03:26.190 --> 0:03:28.510 I give Winnie her bottle and Jess usually comes in 0:03:28.530 --> 0:03:30.900 and lays next to us. And like at this point, 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:34.600 Jess is just consistently trying to find a comfortable position, 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:37.260 which I don't think she's found yet. But when her 0:03:37.300 --> 0:03:41.260 belly's like laying out there and she'll say, Winnie, do 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:43.440 you want to feel sister? And Winnie will like kind 0:03:43.500 --> 0:03:46.560 of do it. So we're trying. I think it's going 0:03:46.580 --> 0:03:49.150 to be a shock to Winnie. She's gotten so much 0:03:49.890 --> 0:03:55.170 love and attention and like focus that I think it's 0:03:55.190 --> 0:03:57.890 going to come as a good surprise. 0:03:58.250 --> 0:04:01.010 That's the hardest part about having two. It's just like. 0:04:01.370 --> 0:04:04.180 I wish I could have time where I just sit 0:04:04.250 --> 0:04:07.180 down with Hayden more often and like teach him things. 0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:08.960 Like I used to do a Dawson. Like I used 0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:10.920 to do flash. I used to do like all the 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:12.240 things that you do. 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:14.200 With your kid to like teach them like, you know, 0:04:14.220 --> 0:04:16.419 like zero to two year old school. 0:04:17.260 --> 0:04:19.710 And Hayden just, you know, we just hope that he 0:04:19.770 --> 0:04:20.830 absorbs it through living. 0:04:21.010 --> 0:04:21.370 Yeah. 0:04:21.670 --> 0:04:23.609 Well, he will. He'll do fine. He's going to be 0:04:23.630 --> 0:04:25.450 all right. He's a, you know, he's a younger child, 0:04:25.490 --> 0:04:30.609 which brings me to my next question. BTM off. writes, Ashley, 0:04:30.770 --> 0:04:33.600 will you have another baby? Will you try for a girl? 0:04:33.660 --> 0:04:34.500 My vote is yes. 0:04:35.060 --> 0:04:36.380 Absolutely not. 0:04:38.779 --> 0:04:41.860 No, we are so certain that we do not want 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:47.980 a third. Even if I were to know it was 0:04:48.020 --> 0:04:52.470 going to be a girl, I don't know that I 0:04:52.510 --> 0:04:57.409 could do pregnancy with these two kids and then. 0:04:58.850 --> 0:05:01.370 Go through the whole baby phase again. See Jared and 0:05:01.390 --> 0:05:02.890 I said, if we could just pop out a two 0:05:02.930 --> 0:05:05.010 year old, we would do it. But I really have 0:05:05.070 --> 0:05:08.380 no desire to do zero to two again. And I 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:10.940 don't think it's really determined on whether it's a girl. 0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:14.700 I just don't have the desire to have a girl 0:05:14.820 --> 0:05:17.420 as much as I used to feel a desire for it. 0:05:17.500 --> 0:05:19.620 I really feel fulfilled by the two boys. 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:23.279 I really don't. Like I'm wondering that like when, is 0:05:23.300 --> 0:05:27.300 there a moment, you know, as an only child for me, 0:05:28.180 --> 0:05:30.640 You know, my parents felt, at least I thought, I 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:32.360 don't know, you could ask them. I think they felt 0:05:32.420 --> 0:05:35.339 complete with me. Like our family was a family of three. 0:05:36.490 --> 0:05:38.930 Is there a moment now where you felt like, hey, 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:40.970 this is good? Like this is my family? 0:05:42.350 --> 0:05:47.390 I feel like that since, yeah, I haven't had that 0:05:47.410 --> 0:05:50.610 like baby craving at all since Hayden's been born. Like 0:05:50.670 --> 0:05:53.330 I've never really, the only time I ever have doubt 0:05:53.790 --> 0:05:55.430 is when I get messages like this. 0:05:56.510 --> 0:05:59.390 And it's also crazy because I don't think, I. 0:05:59.390 --> 0:06:03.020 Don't know, maybe, maybe, but for you, when you have 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:05.140 the two girls, are you going to get as many 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:06.480 messages being like. 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:09.640 Are you going to try for the boy? It's just 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:13.600 like everybody thinks you need the girl. It's such a 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:15.400 society that we live in now. It's interesting. I saw 0:06:15.420 --> 0:06:16.159 this thing on Instagram. 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:19.550 I think it was a GQ article about how times 0:06:19.610 --> 0:06:24.210 have changed and now the preferred gender is having a 0:06:24.290 --> 0:06:28.029 girl oh and i mean that's true it's all sad 0:06:28.110 --> 0:06:30.790 like i just either either or it's sad to like 0:06:31.290 --> 0:06:33.610 and this is from somebody who like had admitted like 0:06:33.670 --> 0:06:38.750 gender disappointment and it's just it's just still sad and 0:06:38.770 --> 0:06:41.390 like once you're a parent a girl or a boy 0:06:41.450 --> 0:06:46.539 you just know um is jared no but i wouldn't 0:06:46.580 --> 0:06:48.839 even trust it i have too many people who've gotten 0:06:48.940 --> 0:06:52.240 pregnant on snips I would like need to get snipped 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:55.130 plus get my tubes tied or something to like trust it. 0:06:55.200 --> 0:07:00.160 I have so many people that I've heard have, you know, conceived. 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:01.660 So there's still a chance. 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:04.180 There's always a chance. And every month is scary. 0:07:05.020 --> 0:07:08.479 Every month that I'm like, I'm like, um, you know, 0:07:09.660 --> 0:07:12.640 every month I'm happy to get my period. And that's when, 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:15.620 you know, you're like not wanting another one is when 0:07:15.660 --> 0:07:19.300 like you're married and have two kids and you're scared 0:07:19.340 --> 0:07:20.180 that you won't get your period. 0:07:21.070 --> 0:07:24.110 Oh, you're right. Oh, it's funny. Every month with your husband, 0:07:24.150 --> 0:07:25.810 you're like, no. Yeah, exactly. 0:07:25.830 --> 0:07:28.570 And then I try to talk myself into, all right, 0:07:28.630 --> 0:07:30.120 what's the worst that's going to happen? We're going to 0:07:30.180 --> 0:07:32.200 have three kids, and our life is going to be 0:07:32.300 --> 0:07:33.640 somehow more chaotic. 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:36.510 Than it is now. But, you know, we'll get through it, 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:39.080 and I'm sure we'll appreciate it. I'm glad that we'll 0:07:39.140 --> 0:07:39.660 have had it. 0:07:39.660 --> 0:07:40.480 We will. 0:07:40.540 --> 0:07:40.820 We will. 0:07:52.940 --> 0:07:54.620 Next question is for you as well because it is 0:07:54.680 --> 0:08:00.720 from BTMOff. They ask, what are your predictions for the 0:08:00.780 --> 0:08:05.640 future of the Bachelor franchise? We're almost in 2027 and 0:08:05.660 --> 0:08:07.560 they have not picked a lead. 0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:08.820 I know. 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:10.870 What I'm saying is it has. 0:08:12.350 --> 0:08:14.030 To just air within 2027. 0:08:14.030 --> 0:08:17.929 Okay. So I think they start filming in January. 0:08:18.050 --> 0:08:19.890 I want to see the franchise thrive. I want to 0:08:19.950 --> 0:08:24.870 see it come back better than ever. And I hope, uh, 0:08:24.940 --> 0:08:27.860 in fact, it's funny. I was in Los Angeles this 0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:30.320 week and somebody that used to work on the show 0:08:31.140 --> 0:08:32.600 was in the same place I was. And they asked 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:36.199 me a question and they said, Hey, if you were 0:08:36.260 --> 0:08:39.060 called by the show to be like an executive producer 0:08:39.140 --> 0:08:43.380 or a producer of the show to help, like maybe 0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:47.610 give input on what viewers want, what former cast members appreciated. And, 0:08:47.929 --> 0:08:49.040 would you do it? And I was like, and a 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:51.380 hundred percent, like I am, I want to do whatever 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:54.380 I can that the show like asks of me that 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:55.600 they think could be helpful. 0:08:56.220 --> 0:08:56.400 Yeah. 0:08:56.800 --> 0:08:58.760 I say all this say, I hope they're listening to 0:08:58.780 --> 0:09:01.959 the viewers and I hope they're listening. Like they hear 0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:04.020 us and they say, they don't just think, Oh, they 0:09:04.059 --> 0:09:05.720 just hate on the show. I hope that's not what 0:09:05.740 --> 0:09:07.940 they're getting at all. I hope they're just hearing us say, no, 0:09:08.420 --> 0:09:11.800 we love the show, but there's some very clear things 0:09:11.860 --> 0:09:15.040 that could be done that we think would work for 0:09:15.100 --> 0:09:17.330 the show. Not that we're experts, but, But I think 0:09:17.370 --> 0:09:19.710 we've been around it enough, and especially you, Ashley. You've 0:09:19.730 --> 0:09:23.130 been on a whole other network at this point. You 0:09:23.150 --> 0:09:25.690 could bring advice, and it would be probably helpful. 0:09:27.090 --> 0:09:31.550 Yeah, we criticize because we care, because we love it, 0:09:31.570 --> 0:09:34.250 and we want it to do well. I think that 0:09:34.290 --> 0:09:36.110 there will be another season in there. I just really 0:09:36.150 --> 0:09:37.990 think it needs to be stunt casted, to be honest. 0:09:38.030 --> 0:09:40.230 I really think it has to actually be like Taylor 0:09:40.270 --> 0:09:43.910 Frankie Paul season, except for with a male lead. 0:09:44.050 --> 0:09:45.410 But I think it needs to be at least a 0:09:45.450 --> 0:09:46.550 C-list celebrity. 0:09:47.130 --> 0:09:47.510 Hmm. 0:09:48.630 --> 0:09:50.380 Uh, because it needs to bring in viewers that have 0:09:50.420 --> 0:09:52.800 been checked out for a long time. It needs to 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:55.520 be like a person that like you, if you're single 0:09:55.590 --> 0:09:57.300 out there, would be like oh i would want to 0:09:57.380 --> 0:09:59.579 date that person i know who that person is they're 0:09:59.620 --> 0:10:01.620 familiar to me they have a fan base of their 0:10:01.740 --> 0:10:05.020 own stuff like that okay ben what would you say 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:08.380 is your weirdest habit this is from chris hey. 0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:11.670 Chris uh my weirdest habit oh goodness i probably have 0:10:11.710 --> 0:10:14.530 a lot of those that's my wife uh the thing 0:10:14.570 --> 0:10:17.710 that comes to mind immediately is and i and I 0:10:17.850 --> 0:10:19.470 rub my feet together all the time. 0:10:19.809 --> 0:10:20.910 Yeah, I do that too. 0:10:21.050 --> 0:10:23.370 Yeah, I know you have that thing. I just rub 0:10:23.390 --> 0:10:26.410 my feet together without knowing it. That feels weird. I 0:10:26.450 --> 0:10:29.070 think it's probably the thing that Jess would say is 0:10:29.150 --> 0:10:33.290 the most annoying. She doesn't love it if we're laying 0:10:33.340 --> 0:10:35.660 there and she can just hear my feet rub together. 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:38.520 She just doesn't find that very awesome, I don't think. 0:10:40.860 --> 0:10:44.839 My other weird habit, that's tough. I mean, I think 0:10:44.980 --> 0:10:47.880 all of my habits make sense to me. Ashley, you've 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:49.790 known me for a long time. Is there something weird 0:10:50.250 --> 0:10:51.030 that you know about me? 0:10:51.050 --> 0:10:51.790 No. 0:10:52.309 --> 0:10:55.510 I mean, I guess the other thing is if I 0:10:55.630 --> 0:10:57.170 use the restroom in the morning, I need to take 0:10:57.210 --> 0:10:57.610 a shower. 0:10:58.390 --> 0:11:01.090 Yeah, that I do know about you, which is something. 0:11:01.450 --> 0:11:02.330 Yeah. 0:11:02.350 --> 0:11:03.219 That's crazy. 0:11:03.340 --> 0:11:09.420 It's a cleanliness thing. I'm not a germaphobe, but I 0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:12.380 don't like when Jess gets in the bed if she 0:11:12.420 --> 0:11:15.240 has street clothes on, if she's laying in our bed even. 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:19.710 obviously no shoes on the bed, that kind of stuff. 0:11:19.750 --> 0:11:21.850 Like I'm very particular about that. 0:11:22.610 --> 0:11:24.589 I get it when I think about it, but I 0:11:24.630 --> 0:11:27.910 don't really think about it. Wearing the street clothes. 0:11:28.490 --> 0:11:32.410 Yeah, it's pretty gross to me. So I'm on top 0:11:32.460 --> 0:11:35.679 of that in our household. At this point, Ashley, honestly, 0:11:35.700 --> 0:11:38.260 and this isn't like, I love being a dad more 0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:40.319 than anything I've ever done in my life. I don't 0:11:40.380 --> 0:11:42.460 like have a lot of habits right now. Like I'm 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:44.559 just kind of in like, Exactly. 0:11:44.620 --> 0:11:45.740 Wait till you have to. 0:11:45.820 --> 0:11:46.260 I'm sorry. 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:50.250 But I found the transition from zero to one to 0:11:50.270 --> 0:11:53.910 be easier than one to two. I felt like one, 0:11:54.210 --> 0:11:56.890 of course, changes your life. But I thought zero to two, 0:11:56.910 --> 0:12:01.230 I mean, one to two really changes the household feel. 0:12:01.870 --> 0:12:04.230 It's just kind of like go, go, go, go, go 0:12:04.650 --> 0:12:05.150 all day. 0:12:05.270 --> 0:12:06.120 Always moving. 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:10.420 And then it stops because then I'm asleep. Yeah. 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:11.540 And then you start all over again. 0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:14.439 But like from the second you wake up, you're just like, okay. 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:17.750 And back into the swing, there's just like slow morning. 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:20.870 And then like last night, our kids like actually watched 0:12:20.910 --> 0:12:23.010 TV for like an hour and a half and cuddled. 0:12:23.570 --> 0:12:27.290 And it was the most I've sat down with them 0:12:27.309 --> 0:12:31.010 that I can remember for quite some time, you know, 0:12:31.090 --> 0:12:33.050 like an hour and a half of watching Rudolph. 0:12:33.450 --> 0:12:35.030 A lot of those weird like things I would do 0:12:35.070 --> 0:12:36.830 in the course of the day that I probably forget 0:12:36.870 --> 0:12:39.920 that I've done do. are just kind of out the 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:43.979 window because my days are now I work all day. Um, 0:12:44.380 --> 0:12:46.300 if when he's at, you know, daycare, which is only 0:12:46.340 --> 0:12:49.120 twice a week. And then the three other days of 0:12:49.140 --> 0:12:53.369 the week, like it's tag team effort. We're doing the 0:12:53.410 --> 0:12:58.410 weirdest stuff yesterday. I cut Play-Doh in half for probably 0:12:58.450 --> 0:12:59.330 a good hour and a half. 0:13:00.150 --> 0:13:00.449 Yeah. 0:13:00.510 --> 0:13:02.550 When people are like, what are you watching? Like when 0:13:02.570 --> 0:13:04.319 people who don't have little kids are like, what are 0:13:04.340 --> 0:13:04.720 you watching? 0:13:05.300 --> 0:13:10.910 I'm like, Well, when I get into bed, even if. 0:13:10.890 --> 0:13:13.390 It's like quote early for me, which is like 1030 0:13:13.390 --> 0:13:16.619 to get into bed, I'm going to probably scroll on 0:13:16.660 --> 0:13:19.420 my phone too long. But in my head, think you 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:21.699 should just watch TV right now. It's far more relaxing. 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:24.370 And then when I finally put the TV on, I 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:27.089 fall asleep within like 15 minutes of me watching whatever 0:13:27.150 --> 0:13:27.690 show or movie. 0:13:27.730 --> 0:13:29.950 It's just not a thing anymore. Do you have any 0:13:29.970 --> 0:13:30.510 weird habits? 0:13:30.530 --> 0:13:30.689 Sucks. 0:13:31.490 --> 0:13:34.319 No, my only habit that I would say is probably 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:36.540 just the fact that I bite my nails like a nonstop. 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:37.979 And it's been like that since kindergarten. 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:40.980 And what's weird is when I do have fake nails on, which, 0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:43.080 of course, when like filming Housewives, I have to have 0:13:43.100 --> 0:13:45.860 fake nails on a lot. I don't sit there and 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:48.900 like try to pick at my cuticles or my nails. 0:13:49.620 --> 0:13:51.420 So I don't have to be doing it if I 0:13:51.460 --> 0:13:52.360 have hard nails on. 0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:55.040 But if I don't have them, it's just I cannot stop. 0:13:56.420 --> 0:13:59.010 But I love it. It's just like I like having 0:13:59.050 --> 0:14:00.310 something to do with my hands. I know. 0:14:00.610 --> 0:14:03.670 I only think it's bad because it's technically bad, but 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:05.459 my parents have told me to stop doing it my 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:08.760 whole life. Oh. And they still tell me to stop 0:14:08.780 --> 0:14:13.319 doing it every hour when I'm with them. I say 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:14.660 one last question here. 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:19.050 Okay. Are you excited about the upcoming cruise? And the person, 0:14:19.210 --> 0:14:31.560 is their name Sopartist? Sopartist. You guys, it's all one word, okay? 0:14:31.820 --> 0:14:33.600 So far. So far. 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:40.340 It says, I know that Ashley loves cruising, but have 0:14:40.470 --> 0:14:41.880 Ben you ever cruise? 0:14:42.250 --> 0:14:44.560 Now, first of all, before I turn this over to Ben. 0:14:44.970 --> 0:14:47.590 I just want to say that, like, Jared and I 0:14:47.630 --> 0:14:50.230 are going on this Bachelor Warner cruise. 0:14:51.310 --> 0:14:52.870 It's in, like, 10 days. 0:14:53.770 --> 0:14:57.510 And... We were never announced on their Instagram or anything 0:14:57.550 --> 0:14:59.470 like that. So I like feel like it's a secret 0:14:59.510 --> 0:15:04.370 that I'm going, but it's not because they initially announced 0:15:04.390 --> 0:15:06.750 like this whole cast that was going. And then they 0:15:06.770 --> 0:15:09.670 said like, it's more guests to be announced later. And 0:15:09.690 --> 0:15:11.530 so Jared and I are one of those guests that 0:15:11.580 --> 0:15:14.650 are being, that were announced later, but it was only 0:15:14.860 --> 0:15:18.040 emailed to the people who have already signed up because 0:15:18.060 --> 0:15:20.100 you can no longer sign up to go on the cruise. 0:15:20.710 --> 0:15:22.369 And one person said, like, can't wait to meet you 0:15:22.390 --> 0:15:24.170 on the cruise. I go, literally, how did you figure 0:15:24.210 --> 0:15:26.290 that out? And they're like, we got an email saying 0:15:26.310 --> 0:15:28.270 that you guys were coming. I'm like, oh, that's sweet. 0:15:28.860 --> 0:15:31.520 Ben has known that he's going on this cruise for 0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:34.860 a year. And Jared and I have just signed on 0:15:34.980 --> 0:15:36.720 like six weeks ago. 0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:39.680 It must be nice to have the kind of power 0:15:40.100 --> 0:15:42.400 and influence to choose like six weeks ago. 0:15:42.500 --> 0:15:43.240 I told them. 0:15:43.260 --> 0:15:45.440 I was like, I don't know what NBCUniversal is going 0:15:45.460 --> 0:15:47.260 to tell me. I don't even know where my life 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:49.280 with them will be a year from now. 0:15:52.210 --> 0:15:55.479 Am I excited? Uh, you know, I always enjoy, um, 0:15:56.560 --> 0:15:59.280 meeting new people. I do find that really fun. And 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:00.720 I know there's going to be a lot of people 0:16:00.900 --> 0:16:04.920 on this cruise who have been big supporters for 10 years. 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:08.670 And so that part makes me very happy. There's also 0:16:08.690 --> 0:16:11.150 the side where there's a lot of cast members. I 0:16:11.210 --> 0:16:13.510 have not met who I'll be excited to meet, but 0:16:13.530 --> 0:16:18.030 then mostly, um, I'm, I'm, I get very excited to 0:16:18.050 --> 0:16:19.950 hang out with some of the people that I truly 0:16:20.010 --> 0:16:22.010 like love from the shows who I've known for a while. 0:16:22.050 --> 0:16:25.170 So yes, there's the element of I get to meet 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:28.920 new people. That's fine. Like I'll be great. It'll be great. 0:16:29.140 --> 0:16:31.620 But really like spending time with some of those people 0:16:31.660 --> 0:16:33.980 that I don't get to see all the time and 0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:37.360 having them all in one place will be great for 0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:39.640 my soul. I'll enjoy that part. 0:16:39.900 --> 0:16:41.240 It'll be like us going to a wedding. 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:43.840 That's like five days long. 0:16:45.780 --> 0:16:47.000 Well, that was like Dean's wedding. 0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:49.540 Yeah, I am an introvert and so there will be 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:53.000 moments where I probably disappear just because I have to 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:55.630 or I will not be a good version of myself. 0:16:56.230 --> 0:16:59.870 That part concerns me. It does. I get very socially 0:17:00.690 --> 0:17:04.750 anxious and so I'm hoping that I am in a 0:17:04.830 --> 0:17:07.520 good headspace to be around so many people for so 0:17:07.540 --> 0:17:12.960 many days, both cast members and cruise goers. My final 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:14.420 thing is I also think there's going to be a 0:17:14.460 --> 0:17:17.899 lot of anxiety, Ashley, because you know, my wife is 0:17:17.940 --> 0:17:22.000 not far, far from having a child and they will 0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:25.880 not be there. And that is never like, that's never 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:29.300 fun for me, but especially right now that feels extra 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:31.500 not fun for me is to not be around to 0:17:31.540 --> 0:17:35.530 help her out with five days of stuff that happens 0:17:35.570 --> 0:17:39.210 in our house. Who, and she's like very pregnant and 0:17:39.250 --> 0:17:45.960 she's not, feeling awesome. Um, and so that part is, uh, concerning. 0:17:46.100 --> 0:17:47.859 I don't think I'll be able to like switch out 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:50.040 of the headspace from being a husband and a father 0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:52.900 to all of a sudden being back to like, I'm 0:17:53.060 --> 0:17:58.520 bachelor guy again. Um, you know, so we'll, we'll try 0:17:58.540 --> 0:18:02.740 to navigate that overall there. Like I'd say the thing 0:18:02.760 --> 0:18:05.399 that excites me the most is like Ashley said, it 0:18:05.450 --> 0:18:07.770 will be like a wedding. These people mean a lot 0:18:07.790 --> 0:18:09.470 to me. I don't get to see them often. They're 0:18:09.490 --> 0:18:11.650 all going to be in one space. I have been 0:18:11.710 --> 0:18:14.510 on many cruises. I've never been on a cruise like 0:18:14.609 --> 0:18:16.449 this one. Ashley has. 0:18:16.470 --> 0:18:17.710 No, I haven't. 0:18:18.190 --> 0:18:19.950 I thought you went on New Kids on the Block. 0:18:20.410 --> 0:18:22.290 No, I've never gone on a New Kids cruise, but 0:18:22.310 --> 0:18:23.550 it was always my intention. 0:18:23.890 --> 0:18:25.190 Okay. Never mind then. 0:18:25.210 --> 0:18:27.610 Sorry, I lied. I can't believe, honestly, that I never 0:18:27.670 --> 0:18:28.410 went on one of them. 0:18:28.430 --> 0:18:30.290 I thought you did. I thought I remember you saying 0:18:30.310 --> 0:18:31.930 you did. Anyway, sorry I lied about that. 0:18:31.950 --> 0:18:32.370 Yeah. 0:18:33.410 --> 0:18:36.280 But yeah, I think I'll be in a weird headspace 0:18:36.540 --> 0:18:38.460 for a bit, and hopefully I can get out of it. 0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:39.780 I just think it's going to be hard for me. 0:18:40.440 --> 0:18:41.660 Yeah, I know. I'm sorry, Ben. 0:18:42.980 --> 0:18:45.680 I am looking forward to not just meeting all of 0:18:45.740 --> 0:18:48.560 the big Bachelor fans that are on the cruise, but 0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:52.000 partaking in cruise events, I guess, because Ben and I 0:18:52.020 --> 0:18:54.400 will be doing a live podcast up on stage, and 0:18:54.560 --> 0:18:57.930
