34
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: tough time. Jared's there beside you. Let's talk about it.

35
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: You're definitely making it sound like it's some serious relationship

36
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: issue and actually has to do with a dog. Guys. Ever,

37
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: everyone out there, So about a week ago, my my

38
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: sister has actually been trying to get this dog adopted

39
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks now because she has this

40
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: friend at school whose mother in law is was wanting

41
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: to get rid of their twelve and a half year

42
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: old Lab German Shepherd mix and she just she used

43
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: to take it for like one walk a day. She

44
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: was overtaking care of it. The ladies older I wouldn't

45
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: say necessarily old enough that she couldn't take care of

46
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: a dog or like debilitated in any way. But they

47
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,679
Speaker 1: decided to not just take the dog out for a

48
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: one walk a day, but that they were going to

49
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: move into an apartment complex that no that didn't accept dogs,

50
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: so they were just going to bring the dog to

51
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: the pound a shelter, just be done with a dog

52
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: after twelve and a half years, which just makes me

53
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: like sad to my soul that anybody would do that.

54
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: I I'm sorry, I'm judging them. It's very, very crazy

55
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: for me to think that like this, this soul that

56
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: has been in your life for so long, you can

57
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: just throw it away. Basically, so, my sister and I

58
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: we've adopted three dogs over the past three years, which

59
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: is insane, and we have no more room. We have

60
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: two dogs that live with us of the ones that

61
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: we've adopted, and one lives with my parents. We have

62
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: we have no more room to take care of this dog.

63
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: But last week, Jared and I were away for about

64
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: ten days, so my sister said that she was going

65
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 1: to take the dog in, tried finding a home, and

66
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: then deal with it when we came back, because she

67
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: could deal with two dogs in the house. So Jared

68
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: and I get home last night and the situation isn't good.

69
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: It's just our dog Lois was not having another dog

70
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: in the house and we can't deal with it either.

71
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: There's that we try to separate them. They were getting

72
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: kind of violent and they were just like scratching at

73
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: the doors and barking whatever. They couldn't get with each other.

74
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: And I'm obviously going on to tangent. You don't need

75
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: to know all this detail. What makes me sad is

76
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: that Jared had to go and this after this morning,

77
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: this morning um bring him to We wanted to take

78
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: him to a sanctuary, which is basically where old dogs

79
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: who don't have homes or have been given up or

80
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: have um owners that have passed away going to run free. Well,

81
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: we learned when he took the dog to the sanctuary

82
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: that those dogs actually come from shelters. Like the sanctuaries

83
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 1: go to shelters and seek out old dogs so that

84
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: they can live their last years and happiness. So the

85
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: only option we really have is to bring this dog

86
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: to the shelter now, which was what the whole the

87
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: whole process over the past couple of weeks has been

88
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: trying to avoid. But we don't know what else there

89
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: is to do. And it just sucks because I feel

90
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 1: like I want to help every other dog in this world,

91
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: and I think about all the dogs and shelters and like,

92
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? I donate to the A

93
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: B C. A. I don't. I adopted three dogs, but

94
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: this time there's like nothing I can do to help.

95
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: And it sucks. And if any you guys are listening

96
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: and you live in southern California or you want to

97
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: take the drive out here and you want to give

98
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 1: a twelve and a half year old dog a lawn

99
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: d run in for the last couple of years of

100
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: the last maybe a year of its life. I mean

101
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: a German Shepherd lab mix. I can't imagine it's gonna

102
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 1: last much longer than like thirteen and a half years. Um, yeah,

103
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 1: you can let me know. I'm gonna put on my

104
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: Instagram and uh then I know you have nothing else

105
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: to say about this. No I do, But what I

106
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: think this is a really tough real life situation. And

107
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: to sum up Ashley's story. Please email us at been

108
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 1: an Ashley I Heart media dot com with all of

109
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: your insights into this. This is just tough. We got

110
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: a dog that's getting old. Ashley's heart is heavy, Jared's

111
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 1: heart is heavy. It's not a situation that's working off

112
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: with two of them. And on top of that, they

113
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: travel at the time, so this poor dog would be

114
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 1: sitting alone in their apartment really upset with this small,

115
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,559
Speaker 1: little white dog that's been around the beginning, so little

116
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: small white dogs. We've got two small white dogs and

117
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: we have them portable size so that we can travel

118
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: with them. Because Gurgy and Lois go everywhere. They go

119
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: on planes all the time. This dog can't go on planes.

120
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: And that was even if they did get along. So

121

162
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: Joint Welcome to the Almost Famous Podcast. Thank you for

163
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,599
Speaker 1: having me, guys, I am honored to be here. Yeah, Charlene,

164
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: how are we done this podcast for two years? I

165
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 1: think this is like almost our two year anniversary, Ben,

166
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: and we've never had Charlie. That's freaking weird. Honestly, I

167
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: think an we're getting weird. That I'm here like I cannot.

168
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: I'm shocked that people have requested me thank you. Surely

169
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: there's something about you that people still like even though

170
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: you didn't. You weren't on the show during the Instagram age.

171
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: People I love you still talk about you to this day.

172
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: I'm flattered. Thank you. Also have our producer here wants

173
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,439
Speaker 1: to tell a little story about your ringy dinghy. This

174
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 1: is a really random story. But I just got married

175
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: in October and um, but when we were going through

176
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: the whole ring shopping phase, I had sent him, my husband,

177
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: a picture of your ring because I loved it. And

178
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: it was a random picture of you, like eating an

179
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 1: ice cream sandwich with your engagement ring, and that's what

180
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: I used to pick up my ring. And I have

181
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: a very similar ring to yours. That makes I know

182
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: exactly the a you're talking about. And actually my biggest

183
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: takeaway from that everyone was like giving me a break

184
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 1: because photos my big takeaway from that photo. But I'm

185
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: so happy that you got your right. Thank you. This

186
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: is uh, this is actually Charlie. This is Daniel's very

187
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 1: first podcast with almost famous podcast, and she let us

188
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: know right away. I mean, how crazy is it that

189
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: your inspiration has allowed her to have a voice on

190
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: this podcast on day one. That's a really great story.

191
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: I'm happy to hear it. Well, thank you, I appreciate it.

192
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 1: My husband thanks you as well, because it was very

193
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: easy for him to figure it out. Yeah, I was

194
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: less easy with with the ring. He was like, what

195
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:46,839
Speaker 1: do you want. I'm like, I don't know. I'll know

196
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: when I see it. So, Charlene, we have a segment

197
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: on this podcast and I don't I feel I don't,

198
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: I feel wrong. Don't say it. Then I have to

199
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: say no, no, I don't like it. I saw it

200
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: all the run down on all get I don't like

201
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: it either, But we're gonna do it. Charlene, I asked

202
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: for a little bit of grace in this moment because

203
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: we've had a segment that means nothing more than the

204
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: fact that you're coming on and that you've been on

205
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 1: the show in the past. But in the offseason, we

206
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: bring us somebody on that says, who the heck are you?

207
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: Because what the whole segments supposed to be is people

208
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: from Bachelor Nation that our love, that are cared about,

209
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: that have been requested by our listeners, but we've maybe

210
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: missed them and haven't heard from them in a while.

211
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: So Charlene, welcome to the who the heck are you? Segment?

212
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: That's uh with that? Can you please catch any listeners

213
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 1: up because now, I mean it's weird. I just turned

214
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: thirty and Ashley's into thirties. It's been a while since

215
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: some of us have been on the show. Just in

216
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: case there's some listeners out there to maybe in their

217
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: teens and thenn't watch the show when you were on,

218
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: can you please give all of our listeners a little

219
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: rundown of what your season was like, who season you're

220
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 1: on and why people may know you. Oh, I have

221
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,599
Speaker 1: to do this little man um. So I was on

222
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: the show five years ago. I was on one Pablo

223
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: Susan And when I say that, it usually elicits grown,

224
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: but he actually wasn't so bad. And yeah, on my

225
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: claim to say, I guess are leaving on my own

226
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: m being an office singer. Actually the that's sent about right. Yeah.

227
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: What I love about Charlene is that if you do

228
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: follow her blog all the pretty pandas dot com she does,

229
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: you do it's in coordination with another magazine. What's the

230
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: magazine called? That you do your reviews with Yeah Flare,

231
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: I like using articles with them, and you talked about

232
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 1: this before about a recapping. You are notorious recaper, though

233
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: you're so good at them. I feel the same way

234
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: about you. Thank you well, thank you for I honestly

235
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: think that I was inspired by your recap is because

236
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 1: they are very authentic and you're not afraid to talk

237
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: about what goes on behind the scenes. You're also not

238
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: afraid to defend people, um who may not look that

239
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: good because you're able to see it from a different

240
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: perspective and you're able to like give a little bit

241
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: of an insight as to what you think they may

242
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 1: have been thinking in that moment. I appreciate that. I mean,

243
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: I really I try and darn to do that. I

244
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: don't know what something about going on this show and like,

245
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,319
Speaker 1: and it's not even like I watched myself back and

246
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, that's so tordly not who I am.

247
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: It's more that I don't know. You feel like there's

248
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: so much less unsaid and there's so much more to

249
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: every person on the show. It's like I kind of

250
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: kind a bit of a chip on my shoulder. I

251
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: guess right, the wrongs I guess why is it? I mean,

252
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: I do see oftentimes during a season that your name

253
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,079
Speaker 1: is brought up on defending somebody for you know, the

254
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: actions that were being taken, that were being done. Why

255
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: do you feel like that is your role? Or why

256
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: is that chip existing on your shoulder? I don't know

257
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: if I'm always defending people. I guess it's hard to

258
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: I mean, you can go to test for this, but

259
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: when you sit on the show, it's hard to not

260
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: watch it through the lens of a former contestant. And

261
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: when you hear someone sentence was clearly chopped up or

262
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: you know how obviously some things are out of order chronologically.

263
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: I just can't help myself, Like I'm I want people

264
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: to know it's even and sometimes it'll work in someone's

265
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: favor and sometimes it won't. Like I am not afraid

266
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: to jump on the bandwick and when I think someone's

267
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: behaving badly, but when I think it's truly just a

268
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: matter of lack of self awareness and maybe you know,

269
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: trusting the producing a little too much, Like I cannot

270
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: keep that to myself. I mean I look back on

271
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: your season, right and I remember watching and I know

272
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: that you and actually have a good friendship out that

273
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: I don't know a lot of the women on my

274
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: season really appreciate you as well. I've heard your name

275
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: brought up many times, but I remember, and we haven't

276
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: talked about a ton on this podcast, but I remember

277
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: watching your season of The Bachelor and Wan Pablo was

278
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: the Bachelor at the time, and he was obviously criticized

279
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: and still is to this day as not being the

280
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: most likable bachelor in history. Do you defend him? Do

281
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: you agree with the masses? Do you get where everybody's

282
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: coming from? I defend him on a near daily basis,

283
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: and not not you know, like, oh, he's still wonderful

284
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: kind of way, just you know, especially when it's been

285
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: five years and bears than the show. It's one of

286
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: the defining features of my you know, bachelor experience that

287
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: I was on kids season and he's still well known

288
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: for being you know, so quote unquote terrible, but I,

289
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: you know, being on the other side of an advoc

290
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: contestant onto season, he was truly a gentleman for me,

291
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: and he was just not I think he has cursed

292
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: is that he wasn't able to sort of go through

293
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: the motions and you know, he didn't do things just

294
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: for the sake of what there was the right thing

295
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: to do, And I think it that really does not

296
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: translate well on TV, especially when you're dealing with people's

297
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: feelings and women who like checked us a lot to

298
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: be there, it just makes them seem, you know, like Talus.

299
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: But truly, if you were looking at the way he

300
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: behaved in like a real world sense, he was simply

301
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: more interested in some women than others and didn't really

302
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: have the time with a patient to pretend. He just

303
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: wasn't a good pretender. I think, oh he was terrible pretender.

304
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: I still remember like at the tail and this my

305
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: second one on one, we had to do this like

306
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: responsive things for these like cattleboards that had life coming

307
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: out of the bottom, and we were just exhausted with

308
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: the end, you know, at the end of the date.

309
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: But I feel like any other back to be like, Okay,

310
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: well you know, let's do it. Let's go out on

311
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: these paddle boards and make out on the paddle bow

312
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: of the night. And he was just like he was

313
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: like a little bit about it. It's not she was like,

314
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: I don't want to do this, but I don't want

315
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: to do this paddleboard scene, and it was like, you know,

316
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: I didn't mind, Like I didn't really want to do

317
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: it either, But I do feel like, you know, nine

318
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 1: out a Bachelors, and I'm sure you would have been like,

319
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 1: all right, we'll do it. Do the battle productions hated him. Yeah,

320
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: It's like he made all these little things so much

321
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: more difficult than they had to be. There's no question. Yeah,

322
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: is that a bad thing that I would have done it? Yeah,

323
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: I definitely wouldn't. So I actually think that you were

324
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: one of You're one of the most loved to this day.

325
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: Whenever anyone I talked about the show, anyone like you

326
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,719
Speaker 1: were the season that people remember like you were like

327
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: the you know, the ultimate Bachlor. It's true. I'm not

328
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: just right now, I'm gonna talk to you. And Ashley first,

329
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 1: Sank actually gets to talk to me every week. She's

330
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: one of the my closest friends in this Batchelor world.

331
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: And Charlene, I do hear from most people. Most of

332
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: the women on my season or women I read, they

333
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,360
Speaker 1: love you, they appreciate, they do look up to you.

334
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: I don't know you personally, but you must have something

335
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 1: about you that that other women and other men when

336
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:02,719
Speaker 1: they're around you to go, yeah, she's somebody that I

337
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: just enjoy, appreciate or find interesting. So so let's talk

338
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: for a second, because you just said something that we've

339
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: never touched on in this podcast. If this is true, right,

340
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: and I'm not claiming it's not, because I do hear

341
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: that you know you are one of the most favorite batchelers,

342
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: or maybe the statement is, um, you were the best

343
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: bachelor or you did it the best. It's starting to

344
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 1: feel more and more. Not to interrupt, but I've never

345
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 1: I'm very good friends with I've told them that, well,

346
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: that's fair, you're honest, and I appreciate that. But here's

347
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: here's what's happening. As time goes on, it's feeling less

348
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 1: and less like a compliment, and it's feeling more and

349
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: more like I'm a little bit insecure when somebody says

350
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,719
Speaker 1: it because and because of what you just said before

351
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: with you know, he couldn't fake it or whatever he was,

352
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: he just had to be to himself the whole time.

353
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: For me, even though I didn't fake it. And there's

354
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 1: very few moments I could name a b two that

355
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: I was in a situation that I just didn't want

356
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: to be in and I did it for the sake

357
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: of the show. And I could, I could name those

358
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: I'm just not going to because it be offensive to

359
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: the person that I was on the date with or around.

360
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: But but for the most part, I really did try

361
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: to do it to the betterment of the women, to myself,

362
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: and to the production team, because there's two undred people

363
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 1: that worked that show and that rely on this show

364
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,440
Speaker 1: to make them a living. Is it a compliment? Should

365
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: I kind of cringe when I'm told it? Or should

366
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: I let it soak in and enjoy it and take

367
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: it with me now as my life continues and the

368
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: Bachelor becomes lesser part of my legacy, should I hold

369
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: that close to my heart and say no, I did this? Well, yes, yeah, yeah,

370
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: I agree to. I mean, editing on an easy thing

371
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: to do. I think possibly you could have been more

372
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,880
Speaker 1: true to yourself and like freed yourself up a bit,

373
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: like because you probably felt like you're holding onto like

374
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: a lot of tension at that time because you were

375
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: trying to be so well behaved. But I think for

376
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:06,959
Speaker 1: the sake of the girls on the show and for

377
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: the sake of the whole crew, you did a very

378
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: lovely thing for them and for what it's worth, I think,

379
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: I mean, audiences are not dumb, like they can tell

380
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 1: when someone is taking it. Like it was clear you're

381
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 1: just a considerate perceptive because like courteous person like, yeah,

382
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 1: you might have done a couple of things you didn't

383
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 1: want to do, but I've never doos the thing when

384
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: anyone thinks somebody is taking it even slightly. People are

385
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: not a pretty clip that you know. Like, so you

386
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: just seemed like well behaved and well spoken. It didn't

387
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: seem like you were putting on anything. I think that

388
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: that's something you should just let wash over you and

389
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 1: give you a warm, steady feeling. Yeah, that's a nice

390
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 1: thing because you are just like you put other people's

391
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 1: feelings and like their jobs before yours, and that's beautiful.

392
00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: It is true. And further director the context of the

393
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: whole tattle board with the lights, you know, the context

394
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: of that was that was a moment where I could

395
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: see why he wasn't like, you know, we might call

396
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: them a little bit about it, I don't. I think

397
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 1: that it's just something of which to be proud that

398
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 1: you would have done it even though you were tired.

399
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 1: You didn't want to do it. It's one of the

400
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: things you sign up for if your duty is that,

401
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: yeah it is, and then you know it is. It's

402
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 1: just an interesting world to live in. But you get

403
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I hope you understand where I'm where I'm

404
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 1: coming from when I say yeah. Now, as I get

405
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 1: older and it's it's farther and farther in the past,

406
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel like as much of a compliment as

407
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 1: maybe it did when it first happened, and people like

408
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: your loved I was telling Colteness together night I was

409
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: with Colton. It's like Colton people a doory. They love you, um,

410
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: but just know that, like that's not going to be

411
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 1: that cool anymore in five years, Like you being a

412
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: good bachelor isn't that tight? Ones like you know you

413
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: have you know, hopefully Cassie and him have kids or

414
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: they get married or whatever. And then like the pressures

415
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: of a job start setting it again, and the world

416
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: stops recognizing you, and then you're you know, getting asked

417
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 1: to show up two shows and everybody else is like

418
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: twenty six years old, just getting off the show, and

419
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:11,680

420
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 1: this sounds great. Um, you know. So the other side

421
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: of that coin is in five years, you know you'll

422
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 1: remember this so fondly and it'll be such a non

423
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 1: part of your life side. It'll just be a pleasant surprise,

424
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: isn't When you hear it, it'll be a little tripped

425
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: down memory lane, you know, as he was on the

426
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: show five years ago, when someone you know miraculously recognize

427
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: as me or tells me that they read my blog,

428
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 1: it's I you know, it's it's kind of cool. Like

429
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: in the beginning that first year or two, it's full on.

430
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 1: We all know that, and I'm sure you guys still

431
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 1: experience that quite a bit. But as it stay, it's like,

432
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 1: it's for the most part, really cool. But that said,

433
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 1: when someone does remember you, that means it pretty die hard.

434
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: It's been five years and it's just it's so nice.

435
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 1: So and you know, it takes the time out of

Speaker 1: their day to tell them to tell you that you

437
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:09,680

456
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: it's just not the same. It's the same degree. This

457
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: goes the beginning. It feels like you're going to get

458
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: tattoos forever, right, I know. It's so crazy how like

Speaker 1: some of the strongest friendships are built on the show,

460
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 1: but then it's interesting which one's last and which ones

461
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 1: were like a star that just burned bright and then

462
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: burned out. It's like so weird, but something that I'm

463
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 1: experiencing now, And it's not just a bachelor thing. It's

464
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: something that I think a lot of girls experiences once

465
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,679
Speaker 1: they find their guy and they're engaged and they're getting married,

466
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: friendships start changing. Because with all my single friends, I

467
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 1: used to just bond about being single and like guy

468
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: struggles and stuff with and now ever i've been with Jared,

469
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: you see like you don't relate to those friends as much,

470
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,160
Speaker 1: or like you have other friends that are getting into

471
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: serious relationships as well. It's just it's a weird time

472
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 1: of life for female relationships. I think. I'm not sure, Ben,

473
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: do you do guys do the same thing, Like when

474
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: you do get coupled up, do you find yourself relying

475
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 1: less on your friendships and you just you just put

476
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: everything almost into the relationship. Uh, you know, It's it's interesting,

477
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: Charlie and I I don't know if you uh I've heard,

478
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: but I've had a girlfriend, a wonderful girlfriend who has

479
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 1: really made my life a lot better here in the

480
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 1: last couple of months. And I was telling Ashley about earlier,

481
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: and we had this conversation this weekend, Um, and one

482
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: of the things that we talked about was that we

483
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: we hope as a couple here as we do continue

484
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: to date and we do get closer and we do

485
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 1: start to build on, you know, the relationship we have,

486
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: that we never give up those friendships because I've seen

487
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: it happen. It's I've seen it happen in relationships around me,

488
00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:01,159
Speaker 1: and it becomes the relationship is just too dependent and

489
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: you're do to depend on each other, and that you

490
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 1: lost your kind of edge and you lost your factor

491
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: when it comes to you and your friends. You've lost

492
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: the ability to explore and adventure outside of your relationship.

493
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: And and so yes, I do think it happens to guys.

494
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: I think it's it is something that is a natural

495
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: transition because this person is your closest friend, your confidente,

496
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: your lover on on all levels, they know you best

497
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 1: and they care about you most. But there is still

498
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,120
Speaker 1: that level of friendship that I think is vitally important

499
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: to keep, even if it doesn't always feel convenient. I

500
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: agree with you, Ben, but I think what I meant

501
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 1: more is like, do you have you have always been

502
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: the single guy of your married friends. So maybe you're

503
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 1: not relating the way that I'm talking about with Charlene, Like,

504
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: did you feel like once you got together with Andy

505
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 1: you had less things to talk about with your single

506
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 1: girlfriends who you always would just like complain about guys

507
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: or share dating stories with. Yeah? Um, yeah, so I

508
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: and I talked to that's this when we first met,

509
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: and it's it's very real, unfortunately with female friendships, but

510
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: actually with male for institute, But you can really tell

511
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: you who your friends are by not how say how

512
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: they are when things are rough. Everyone thinks it's all

513
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: about having a shoulder to cry on and like you're

514
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,120
Speaker 1: there for me when the going got the going gets tough,

515
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: But it's actually opposite. It's when you're genuinely happy that

516
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: you can tell your true friends are interesting. It's sad, actually,

517
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 1: but I mean it was something that I'm sure you're

518
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: dealing with now and I have absolutely dealt with and

519
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: it does definitely make you, you know, just reconsider your

520
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: certain friendships for sure. Just to chime in then to

521
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 1: answer that I always have been the single we've talked

522
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 1: about in the podcast A bunch. My dynamic with my

523
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: friendships have. I've always been a single friend a bunch

524
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: of the married friends, and so I don't know what

525
00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 1: that's going to look like or how it's changed for me,

526
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: because now I just feel like I fit into the

527
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: mold a little better. Right now, I'm a part of

528
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: the team and I'm not the outside. Look I'm not

529
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 1: on the outside looking in, you know, Like that's that's

530
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 1: kind of it is, where there's no longer the victim

531
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 1: mentality I can hold or the sympathy I get from

532
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: my friends on we're gonna find you somebody or that

533
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: person is waiting for you out there, they're gonna be there.

534
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 1: Now it's like, let's move on from that. Let's let's

535
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,360
Speaker 1: make life happen, and I'm no longer your project. So

536
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: I think in that in that world, yes it happens, guys, girls, whatever. Yeah.

537
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 1: I always feel find myself feeling guilty when like I'm

538
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: talking about my relationship and then I'm looking over to

539
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: my single friend and I'll be like, we're gonna find

540
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: you someone, Like who can we set you up with?

541
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: It's just like, oh, it's just it's just a pity party,

542
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: and I don't it doesn't feel good. Yeah, I mean,

543
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: I know exactly the feeling where you actually are sort

544
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: of censoring what you're saying based on based under your

545
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 1: w Yeah. But god, you're like, you're so have everything

546
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: is so great. Just enjoy it. Yeah, all right, more

547
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:05,719
Speaker 1: random questions for Charlene. Now, uh, well, actually this kind

548
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: of rolls over in that conversation. When it came to

549
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: inviting people from the Bachelor franchise to your wedding with Andy,

550
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: how'd that go about? How did you pick and choose

551
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: because we had some pretty famous faces there. We had Becca,

552
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: we had Nick, we had Chris souls Andy, how did

553
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: you go about that? Because it's it's a very sensitive

554
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: subject when because it's a family, it is and it's

555
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:29,719
Speaker 1: kind it is a family, and it's also there are

556
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: a lot of huge and just sort of people that

557
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 1: you know, some people you're close with them, you should

558
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 1: be equally closed to someone else for you just you know,

559
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: you just don't really connect with them in the same way.

560
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure you're facing this or have been facing it.

561
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: I just honestly, I was little ruthless when it came

562
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: to wedding stuff. We knew we wanted a hundred people,

563
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: and it just came down to like who I really

564
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: bond with and and it would matter to me that,

565
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: you know, wouldn't Russell Feathers down the line? If that

566
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: makes sense. That makes like there there was a sort

567
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: of hierarchy, like these are the most important people who

568
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 1: I'm super close with, and it's like, yeah, I could

569
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 1: invite this like other person, but if that primary person

570
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 1: is not thrilled about it, then I just you know,

571
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: I don't feel so passionately that I'm gonna go there.

572
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: But you know, I mean, this world is a funny one.

573
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 1: You know, only send me degrees of separation in every direction. Yeah,

574
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: I think, Jared and my general idea is that like

575
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: we're inviting bachelor family who has been with us through

576
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: it all and who we socialize with in a like

577
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: just like on our own, not a bachelor, not bachelor

578
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: of related events, not professional only events, just like people

579
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: who are actually part of our everyday life and yeah,

580
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 1: friendship with through all. Yeah, there, they serve a deeper

581
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 1: purpose for you in your life. And just like the

582
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: occasional Instagram photo right about them being there, Yeah, totally

583
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: so crystal exciting. It is a very citing. Thank you.

584
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: Um I met you at it was that the first

585
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: time we met, No we met before that we did.

586
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: I was wondering if you were going to bring this

587
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 1: up how we first met. Oh my god, we met

588
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: randomly in a Delhi. Oh my goodness. Okay, this is

589
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 1: a good this is a good story. So I was

590
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 1: in casting. I was through, like to like the talking

591
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: to the producer's face, not just like I had submitted

592
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: a tape. And Charlene was one of my favorites from

593
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: one Pablo season and I saw her in a deli

594
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: in New York and I went up to her. I go,

595
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: this is so awkward, but I'm in casting, in the process,

596
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: and do you have any advice for me? I still

597
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: feel like a why I do not remember what I

598
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: told you? Did you say, don't do it? I said

599
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 1: twice about Oh my god, how hilarious. I'll go down

600
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 1: in history. Is the worst I've ever given to any bachelor.

601
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: So funny. I mean, in my defense, I was like,

602
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: it was, you know, the period after the show where

603
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: it's hardest. But I still feel really bad about I

604
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: feel like it was during the airing or like one

605
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 1: month after one public season wrapped airing, because I think

606
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 1: it was like April or May of that I was

607
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: like a peak fame and teake like you know, criticism

608
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: from and just not not kind of wondering why I've

609
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: done it, and you know, it looked like it could

610
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: have possibly been back to my career, and it was

611
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: just like I was definitely not in like a rosy,

612
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: huge place about the show. Well, I was gonna say

613
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,240

615
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,760

616
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: exchanged numbers. And then you texted me when you were

617
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: doing casting weekend. Yeah, okay, yeah, I remember. And then

618
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: while you were filming, I had texted like a lawn

619
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: and I were texting and I told him about our

620
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: deli meat and he's so pun intended and he said,

621
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: um again, what did you tell her? And I was

622
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,640

623
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 1: was like, well, that's that's just that's a very funny story.

00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: You know, I actually from my recap, I he was

630
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: a classic case of me defending the sort of villains.

631
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: I just really didn't think he was all that bad.

632
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: I found him pretty entertaining and he broke the fourth

633
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: wall a lot, and I really applaud that on my

634
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:09,320

635
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:13,520

636
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:17,200

637
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:18,880

704
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 1: We we met in a very rare way. Now it

705
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 1: is not as rare as actually and Paris, obviously, but um,

706
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 1: we happened to sit next to each other at a

707
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: fundraiser one night on a rainy night when both my

708
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 1: girlfriends like veiled on the plans because it was like

709
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 1: like torrential downpour, and his friend bailed on him too,

710
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: And I don't know something drew me to this event

711
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:37,399
Speaker 1: that night despite the weather, and I happened to sit

712
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: next to him, and if anyone had been with me,

713
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have sat there because there's only one seat.

714
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: And yeah, we just sat sort of sat next to

715
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 1: each other, like on our phones as we do, and

716
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 1: he I think he was sort of observing me and

717
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 1: sort of trying to figure out what my deal was,

718
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:53,360
Speaker 1: and then he just struck up a conversation and the

719
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: rest with history. I knew within five minutes that it

720
00:38:56,200 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 1: was you know, legit, there's something special. It's that that

721
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 1: that I mean, I'm telling you that is a story

722
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,879

794
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,799
Speaker 1: lie with people like I don't have any time. Well,

795
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: you probably have ten minutes. Just like think about just

796
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 1: half an hour is sitting on the couch. You can

797
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:47,640

800
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 1: be like, I don't want you jumping jack, so I

801
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,680

836
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 1: an ad this week on their Instagram, and I mean,

837
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 1: I guess this work because now we're promoting the ad

Speaker 1: out and watch it. Here's a sneak peek at what

840
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:20,280
Speaker 1: happened in the ad. It shows Crystal manskaping Chris Ashley.

841
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:24,359
Speaker 1: You and I both have strong thoughts on this. I'll

842
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:26,919
Speaker 1: let you start and i'll close in where you don't

843
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 1: what you don't touch on. Okay, Well, I have no

844
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 1: problem with the ad because I am all about doing

845
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 1: ads in the most creative way possible, where you make

846
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 1: it fun, you make it personalized to you, to yourself

847
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:48,840
Speaker 1: or as a couple, and you get attention for the

848
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 1: company that's paying you. Three things right there present in

849
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 1: Crystal and Chriss Instagram ad. Is it cringe? E? Sure?

850
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 1: Did it get our attention and work of the brand? Yes?

851
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 1: Was it true to them as a couple? Yes? They

852
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 1: are like that. They are that like all put it.

853
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:11,719
Speaker 1: They put all their junk out there. You know, they

854
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:16,720
Speaker 1: air their relationship out there, and they don't present themselves

855
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 1: as like this innocent couple. They prevent themselves as like

856
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:22,920
Speaker 1: a sexy couple, So manscaping is sort of on brand.

857
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:25,399
Speaker 1: The only thing that really Okay, there are two things

858
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:27,399
Speaker 1: that made me cringe. And I'm not saying they should

859
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 1: have done it, but you know, we're talking about the

860
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: cringe worthiness of the ad. Then the fact that they

861
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:36,760
Speaker 1: said babe and baby like eight times was like, okay,

862
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 1: can we not? Can we refer to each other by

863
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:43,720
Speaker 1: another pet name? Give it some variety, um, maybe each

864
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:47,240
Speaker 1: other each other's names, but babe, baby, babe, baby babe.

865
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 1: That was a little bit much um. And then Crystal

866
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:55,959
Speaker 1: getting like the shot of Crystal ian Chris's crotch doing

867
00:46:56,040 --> 00:47:01,400
Speaker 1: the manscaping herself was like, oh my god. But I

868
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 1: hear I am saying, oh my god. But like I

869
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 1: don't have a real problem with it. It's them. I

870
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 1: couldn't do it, couldn't get I couldn't pull it off.

871
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to do it. Jared would. I could

872
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:18,720
Speaker 1: never see Jared letting you do this. You know, here's

873
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 1: my thoughts. I I think it's creative. I think it's funny.

874
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 1: I think it was one of the better like commercial

875
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 1: ads that we've seen really anybody do, because typically I

876
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 1: scrolled right through and I had to stop and watch

877
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:33,759
Speaker 1: the whole thing just based on pure interest and what

878
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 1: the heck was happening. I would agree with you. My

879
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 1: biggest critique, and it's one that I'll stand on. I

880
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 1: had to stop watching it because the babe baby baby babes.

881
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:47,080
Speaker 1: We gotta get better at that, you know, for criticized that,

882
00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:49,240
Speaker 1: We've got to get better at the content and the writing.

883
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:57,480
Speaker 1: The video itself really really catchy. So I'll give Crystal

884
00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 1: and Chris an a on that ad. It's it's content,

885
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:07,560
Speaker 1: just the writing. Struggling with the writing. Yeah, they grabbed

886
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:10,319
Speaker 1: the audiences attention, that's for sure. I'm done talking about

887
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:12,280
Speaker 1: Chris's balls. I've talked about I'm way too long writing.

888
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:16,600
Speaker 1: Um here's one that is personal to me. This weekend,

889
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 1: we celebrate Blake's Blake Hurtzman's thirtieth birthday in Denver, Colorado.

890
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:26,239
Speaker 1: We did it at Chase mcnerry's club or bar called

891
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:29,600
Speaker 1: Revel Social and Denver. It was a really good evening.

892
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 1: Jessica and I were able to stop by and be

893
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 1: there for about forty five minutes before the crowds got on.

894
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:37,640
Speaker 1: Here's actually I gotta talk about this. So here's the scenario. Right,

895
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 1: I have sweet little jess with me, um, And I'm

896
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:44,719
Speaker 1: telling you, Jessica is is just a tremendous person. The

897
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:46,920
Speaker 1: attention for the fans she just doesn't get and she

898
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 1: definitely doesn't get it when it revolves around me. She's

899
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:53,520
Speaker 1: just so confused all the time because you know, she

900
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:57,279
Speaker 1: now knows me just as her boyfriend. And so when

901
00:48:57,320 --> 00:49:00,239
Speaker 1: like people start screaming or yelling or whatever, she just

902
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 1: gets thrown off. So this is what happens. We went

903
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 1: to dinner with my parents here in Denver at a

904
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 1: great restaurant down south, and uh, come back up and

905
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 1: on the way home, I have way up to the house.

906
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 1: I have my my parents dropped Jesse and I off

907
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 1: at the bar to see Blake can celebrate his thirtieth

908
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:19,319
Speaker 1: birthday with him. Well, the bar is set up where

909
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:22,400
Speaker 1: and revels a great great bar downtown Denver now, and

910
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: Chase has done a great job of setting up. But

911
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 1: you walk in through a side door and there's this

912
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 1: kind of roped off area for any v I P

913
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 1: guests and Jesse and I just happened to be the

914
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 1: first two v i P guests there. We showed up

915
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:37,719
Speaker 1: before everybody else. So you know what happens is walk

916
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:40,399
Speaker 1: into this pack bar all waiting for you know, these

917
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 1: Bachelor contestants show up. There was David Louiser there, and

918
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:46,280
Speaker 1: Wills is there. I mean, there were so many guys

919
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 1: in that picture. It was so many. I was like,

920
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:51,760
Speaker 1: what is this a Bachelor reunion? It was Jason Tartik

921
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:53,040
Speaker 1: was there. I mean, there was a lot of guys there.

922
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 1: So Jesse and I walk in first, fans start going crazy,

923
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:58,880
Speaker 1: and then it's just Jesse and I standing in this

924
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 1: roped off area that probably fifty square foot big, like

925
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 1: pretty big for two people, while there's fans ten ft

926
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 1: from us just staring, and Jessica goes, I don't want

927
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:09,840
Speaker 1: to be here anymore, said I don't want to be

928
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 1: here either, and we walked. We just walked right back

929
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 1: to the kitchen. We stood in the in the Revel's

930
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:17,319
Speaker 1: kitchen for forty five minutes, probably until Blake and got there.

931
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:20,320
Speaker 1: It was so awkward, it felt like, I mean, especially

932
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:25,279
Speaker 1: for jess like eyes were just on you. There's too

933
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:29,720
Speaker 1: much anyway, Um, but anyway, we celebrated Blake Courtsman's thirty birthday.

934
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 1: He's a great dude, good friend, uh, and it was

935
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 1: a great time. But there's a topic that was brought

936
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 1: up even that evening that I want to discuss on

937
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:39,960
Speaker 1: the podcast with you. It feels like Bats their nation

938
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:43,840
Speaker 1: is in complete support but also putting a ton of

939
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:48,160
Speaker 1: pressure on the Hannah Gee and Blake situation and Paradise.

940
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 1: And to me, I have two thoughts, and I'll start

941
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:53,760
Speaker 1: this one with my thoughts. One, it's unfair to the couple.

942
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:57,600
Speaker 1: It's unfair to to the other people there um, and

943
00:50:57,719 --> 00:50:59,920
Speaker 1: it's unfair to the love story that could exist for

944
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:01,560
Speaker 1: Hannah Gee and some other guy, or Blake and some

945
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:05,359
Speaker 1: other girl, or maybe even still free themselves, like maybe

946
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 1: they do get together. I don't like it. As a

947
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 1: friend of Blake's, I feel like it is too much pressure.

948
00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 1: And after meeting Hannah Gee the first time, I'm such

949
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:15,560
Speaker 1: a fan of her that I don't want her to

950
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:19,440
Speaker 1: go into Paradise with any pressure or feelings other than hey,

951
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 1: I'm here to maybe meet my match. What do you think?

952
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 1: I just completely agree with you. Knowing both of them

953
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:29,960
Speaker 1: a very tiny bit, but like, no, you know, interacting

954
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 1: with both of them in real life. It's not like

955
00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:34,960
Speaker 1: I'd be like, oh my god, you would be the

956
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:38,160
Speaker 1: perfect match with Blake. Like nothing about their personalities like

957
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:40,400
Speaker 1: screams their destined to be together. For me, I think

958
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:43,480
Speaker 1: people just love the fact that she was such a

959
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 1: front runner on her season and got screwed over and

960
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:49,799
Speaker 1: that he was the same in his season, And people

961
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:53,000
Speaker 1: just want to see those two big powerhouses come together.

962
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:55,879
Speaker 1: But I'm not saying they're not compatible. I'm not saying

963
00:51:55,920 --> 00:52:00,479
Speaker 1: there's something like amazing that I see between them either. Yeah,

964
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:03,279
Speaker 1: I mean I think I think you're spot on, like,

965
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 1: why are we going to force? The coolest thing about

966
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 1: Paradise to me has always been that there's these random

967
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:11,160
Speaker 1: couples that we never would have guessed existed. Or I

968
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:14,520
Speaker 1: put Tanner in Jade at the top of that. Jade

969
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:18,480
Speaker 1: was like fought fought four and sought after and Tanner

970
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:21,759
Speaker 1: was this like kind of goofy, funny, great dude that

971
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:24,800
Speaker 1: we all loved from Caitlin season. And then they go

972
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:27,800
Speaker 1: down there and I would say, Jay gave Tanner a

973
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 1: chance and then they fall in love and now look

974
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:33,279
Speaker 1: at him, and I'm thinking, why put pressure on those situations.

975
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:36,320
Speaker 1: Let let Paradise be what it is. Yeah, I agree,

976
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:39,440
Speaker 1: super great, But I have to say, I had a

977
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:43,120
Speaker 1: dream about Hannah Gee. I regard her this highly, you guys,

978
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:46,719
Speaker 1: I had a dream of her last night. It was

979
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 1: like it was a concert that ABC had on their

980
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:53,480
Speaker 1: you know, their channel, and it was like Billboard Music

981
00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:57,200
Speaker 1: Oars or something about Billboards on ABC, and she was

982
00:52:57,320 --> 00:53:03,000
Speaker 1: part of a collaborative performance. It was her, Celine Dion,

983
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:10,279
Speaker 1: j Lo Beyonce, like Taylor Swift and Carrie Underlood Like, yeah,

984
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:12,520
Speaker 1: I apparently think that Hannah Gee is that great, that

985
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:17,880
Speaker 1: she's amongst those those women. She is that great. Here's

986
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:25,080
Speaker 1: a story, Ashley, that almost feels as great. Um headlines happened.

987
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 1: I think it was last week. I'm on a chat

988
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 1: thread with a bunch of people, uh, former Bachelor's and

989
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 1: this was the topic that was brought up. Nick Vile

990
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:37,279
Speaker 1: admits that he's hooked up with a guy and it

991
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:41,319
Speaker 1: and and in quotes he says it moved. Now I'm

992
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 1: assuming I know what he's talking about when he says

993
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:49,200
Speaker 1: it moved, Ashley, are you surprised? What is the context here?

994
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:52,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, okay, I don't know what's happening.

995
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 1: I was shocked when I read it. I haven't read

996
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 1: the story yet, but what was moving and why was

997
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 1: it moving and what was happening in the situation. Actually,

998
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:04,040
Speaker 1: he was acting. I think it was for a small

999
00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:09,200
Speaker 1: a short film, uh, something independent, and he had to

1000
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:13,880
Speaker 1: kiss a guy for his role. Apparently he's just saying that, Uh,

1001
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 1: he didn't hate it. He didn't hate it. There you go,

1002
00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 1: he didn't hate it. Hey, good for Nick for admitting it,

1003
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:22,000
Speaker 1: Good for Nick for doing it. No problem there. But

1004
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:26,000
Speaker 1: it was a topic. And wow, I'm telling you, if

1005
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:29,040
Speaker 1: you want to get clicks, that's something that we all

1006
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:33,759
Speaker 1: stopped and go surprising. Good for Nick and and Nick

1007
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:35,759
Speaker 1: would be the guy that would do He's just he's

1008
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:38,000
Speaker 1: just an open guy that would discuss anything. And you

1009
00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:40,560
Speaker 1: look at his Instagram, he's he's answering all these questions

1010
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:44,480
Speaker 1: in brilliant ways all the time. So uh, anyways, check

1011
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:48,239
Speaker 1: out Nick's new short film. The headlines aren't what they

1012
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:50,680
Speaker 1: point to. He did kiss a guy. It was for acting.

1013
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:54,080
Speaker 1: But either way, good for Nick. Next topic in the

1014
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:57,880
Speaker 1: Bachelor world, the Bachelor at Reunion. The special is happening

1015
00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 1: because The Bachelor is premiering May thirteen and May six,

1016
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:04,680
Speaker 1: there is a reunion show that I've got to check out.

1017
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:06,960
Speaker 1: I mean these bachelorettes. When I look at the picture

1018
00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:09,560
Speaker 1: of all the bachelorettes in history, I mean, these are

1019
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 1: some classy, amazing women. Actually, what do you know about

1020
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:16,760
Speaker 1: it and what's going to happen. I don't know anything

1021
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:21,120
Speaker 1: about it. That's fantastic. Are going to be a surprised,

1022
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:23,279
Speaker 1: But I will say that those pictures of all them

1023
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:27,240
Speaker 1: together are quite dominant, Like those are some powerful ladies

1024
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 1: that have looks, personality and Brand's album it's pretty cool.

1025
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:34,000
Speaker 1: I mean, leading ladies, amazing women. It just shows and

1026
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:36,840
Speaker 1: you know what, as and I've I've said this actually

1027
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 1: changed my mind on this. I believe that Hannah b

1028
00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:43,799
Speaker 1: not only will be standing that group obviously she's a bachelorette,

1029
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:46,440
Speaker 1: but she will be a force to be recognist with

1030
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:48,480
Speaker 1: in Bachelor Nation. I think she's gonna go down as

1031
00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:50,200
Speaker 1: one of the favorites just based on even some of

1032
00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:52,759
Speaker 1: the clips. I think she's gonna be rab. I don't

1033
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:55,840
Speaker 1: think she prepared for this. I think she's very unprepared

1034
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:57,320
Speaker 1: to be the Bachelorette, and I think we're going to

1035
00:55:57,360 --> 00:56:01,600
Speaker 1: get a very authentic, genuine Bachelorettes season because she's so

1036
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:05,320
Speaker 1: unprepared and I'm so stoked to watch. I don't know

1037
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:08,759
Speaker 1: that we ever talked about that Cinderella esque promo, like

1038
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:11,319
Speaker 1: how it was that that the best promo they've ever

1039
00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:14,279
Speaker 1: put out there. It was like a Taylor Stuff music

1040
00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:18,160
Speaker 1: video plus the most amazing chick flick rom com of

1041
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:22,480
Speaker 1: all time. I mean, the transformation from prom queen to

1042
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 1: like this kick ass bitch. You can't take that out? No, yeah,

1043
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:33,960
Speaker 1: take that. You know what I meant? A wonder woman,

1044
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:38,640
Speaker 1: wonder woman? That's it? Am I wrong? Maybe I'm crazy here.

1045
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:42,080
Speaker 1: When I watched that promo, I thought it was Beauty

1046
00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:45,840
Speaker 1: the Beast esque because Hannah Beast. I thought like that

1047
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:49,800
Speaker 1: felt like very like transformational. Was I wrong? So transformational?

1048
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:54,040
Speaker 1: So awesome? I don't know. It was so good, the

1049
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:57,320
Speaker 1: music behind it, the lyrics. Going to be a really

1050
00:56:57,600 --> 00:57:00,640
Speaker 1: really good season and I'm so pumped to watch it. Anyways.

Speaker 1: you about, Ash. Yeah, we we forgot one other headline.

1055
00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:18,280
Speaker 1: Clay and Angela officially broke up. I wondered. I was

1056
00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:20,200
Speaker 1: with him this weekend. I want to ask, I wondered,

1057
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:24,120
Speaker 1: and I was looking at h I was he came

1058
00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:27,400
Speaker 1: out for the he came out for the U the

1059
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:29,680
Speaker 1: birthday party. And I didn't want to ask because I

1060
00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:31,880
Speaker 1: really enjoyed that couple. I thought they were great together.

1061
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:33,400
Speaker 1: I know we had her on the podcast and she

1062
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:36,120
Speaker 1: was so into him at the times. Something obviously happened.

1063
00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:39,240
Speaker 1: I'm glad we can finally break that news. Because I

1064
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:41,760
Speaker 1: looked at their instagrams, hadn't seen pictures being posted in

1065
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:43,600

1075
00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:14,840
Speaker 1: we need to do Ashley I think we need to

00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:17,880
Speaker 1: call on somebody I haven't got talking a while, um,

1077

1081
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:30,920
Speaker 1: we need to bring up with Amanda Stand talk about Paradise,

1082
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:33,560

1083
00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 1: just obviously got out of a new or she just

1084
00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 1: got out of a relationship. We should hear about that

1085

1223
01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:24,120
Speaker 1: few things that really make me angry, and one of

1224
01:06:24,200 --> 01:06:27,680
Speaker 1: them is not being understood. This is this Week's Been

1225
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:31,640
Speaker 1: Bitch's segment. There's moments in life that I am not

1226
01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:33,840
Speaker 1: understood and I don't get why. It happened. In high

1227
01:06:33,840 --> 01:06:37,919
Speaker 1: school for the first time, I became addicted to Dr

1228
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:42,360
Speaker 1: pimple Popper. Oh, I love it too. I love Dr

1229
01:06:42,400 --> 01:06:46,400
Speaker 1: pimple Popper. Why Because it's satisfying, it's engaging, and every

1230
01:06:46,560 --> 01:06:50,760
Speaker 1: bump has something new behind it. If it's if it's juicy,

1231
01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:55,640
Speaker 1: if it's a solid, if it's something so surprising it

1232
01:06:55,800 --> 01:06:58,840
Speaker 1: gets me Jack and my friends and family look at

1233
01:06:58,880 --> 01:07:00,520
Speaker 1: me with a frown on my face. It doesn't feel

1234
01:07:00,520 --> 01:07:04,720
Speaker 1: like anybody else wants to participate in the majesty that

1235
01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:08,600
Speaker 1: is something being relieved by the pinch of two fingers

1236
01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:11,680
Speaker 1: or by the slice of a scalpel. I don't get it.

1237
01:07:12,080 --> 01:07:14,280
Speaker 1: I don't understand it. I don't get why people look

1238
01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:18,040
Speaker 1: at me in confusion. And in this Ben Bitch's segment,

1239
01:07:18,160 --> 01:07:20,800
Speaker 1: I'm asking for everybody to understand that I have an

1240
01:07:20,840 --> 01:07:23,760
Speaker 1: addiction and I'm happy about it, and I don't want

1241
01:07:23,760 --> 01:07:27,280
Speaker 1: to change. I don't want to stop. I feel satisfied

1242
01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:30,800
Speaker 1: when I feel well, that was gonna rhyme. Let me

1243
01:07:30,840 --> 01:07:33,800
Speaker 1: do that one more time. I have an addiction and

1244
01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:36,640
Speaker 1: I don't want to stop. I feel satisfied when that

1245
01:07:36,800 --> 01:07:40,400
Speaker 1: little pimple pops. Oh my god, did you memorize that?

1246
01:07:41,080 --> 01:07:43,320
Speaker 1: I just started talking. I realized it was gonna rhyme,

1247
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:45,000
Speaker 1: and so I just got super jacked about it. And

1248
01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:47,720
Speaker 1: I want to say, and then you, I'm so excited

1249
01:07:47,720 --> 01:07:50,520
Speaker 1: that you stumbled over it. I stumbled over access. So

1250
01:07:50,640 --> 01:07:53,160
Speaker 1: through it, Astley, tell me your thoughts. Why is that

1251
01:07:53,240 --> 01:07:56,200
Speaker 1: people don't understand that we all have pimples, we all

1252
01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:59,760
Speaker 1: have those blemishes and those issues. And I was backstage

1253
01:07:59,800 --> 01:08:02,960
Speaker 1: at Haitlin Bristow's live podcast last week and I was

1254
01:08:02,960 --> 01:08:05,280
Speaker 1: standing next to Colton and Blake and one of my

1255
01:08:05,320 --> 01:08:08,160
Speaker 1: buddies texting me this new video of this cis being

1256
01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:12,400
Speaker 1: relieved and I showed Chase Blake and I so Chase

1257
01:08:12,520 --> 01:08:15,080
Speaker 1: and Colton, and they both were so grossed out that

1258
01:08:15,200 --> 01:08:17,240
Speaker 1: I felt now like an outsider, and I don't like

1259
01:08:17,320 --> 01:08:22,120
Speaker 1: to feel like an outsider. Jared. Jared doesn't like Dr

1260
01:08:22,160 --> 01:08:25,120
Speaker 1: pimple Popper either, so he's on their team. But Ben,

1261
01:08:25,360 --> 01:08:27,519
Speaker 1: there is an audience for Dr pimple Popper, and I

1262
01:08:27,800 --> 01:08:29,880
Speaker 1: am a part of that audience. There's a show for

1263
01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:32,280
Speaker 1: a reason because some of us out there. Maybe it's

1264
01:08:32,280 --> 01:08:34,960
Speaker 1: not the majority, but they don't need the majority on TLC.

1265
01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:38,599
Speaker 1: They just need an audience of like maybe a million,

1266
01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:43,519
Speaker 1: and the million of us are satisfied by watching these

1267
01:08:43,600 --> 01:08:50,200
Speaker 1: pimple's insists mostly cis and abscesses get relieved. As you said,

1268
01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:53,920
Speaker 1: relieved is the perfect way it is. It is satisfying

1269
01:08:54,080 --> 01:08:58,160
Speaker 1: because you're like, and now something is healed. These people

1270
01:08:58,240 --> 01:09:02,040
Speaker 1: are better and just truly also an instant. It's the

1271
01:09:02,160 --> 01:09:05,760
Speaker 1: most amazing things. So with that, start accepting me, start

1272
01:09:05,800 --> 01:09:09,439
Speaker 1: accepting people of my kind. We like to see others happy,

1273
01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:11,640
Speaker 1: and I like to think that watching that pimple be

1274
01:09:11,760 --> 01:09:15,120
Speaker 1: pop makes me a better person. Hey, this podcast was terrific.
