WEBVTT - Featuring Ashley & Jared of The Bachelor 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:08.400 Hi, guys, and welcome to this episode of the Let's 0:00:08.400 --> 0:00:11.320 Be Real Podcast. This week we have Ashley and Jared 0:00:11.360 --> 0:00:14.600 for The Bachelor. We talk about a lot. We talk 0:00:14.680 --> 0:00:18.680 about the season of The Bachelor, the process of coming together, 0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:22.040 behind the scenes of what you normally see, and they 0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:24.400 schooled me on what movies I should watch. So make 0:00:24.440 --> 0:00:27.000 sure you listen and I cannot wait to hear your feedback. 0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:30.520 Thank you guys so much for coming on my podcast. 0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:33.559 We have a lot to talk about today. Okay, I 0:00:33.600 --> 0:00:37.360 want to talk about The Bachelor first because it's very 0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:40.440 relevant right now, and I have a few questions and 0:00:40.479 --> 0:00:42.400 a few theories that I want to run buy you Okay, 0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:46.280 go for it. Okay, who do you think is going 0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:52.400 to win? Madison? Chris Harrison. Harrison always wins. He is 0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:54.480 the winner of all these Bachelor's seasons. You want to 0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:58.600 know why because he comes in, he works approximately four 0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:04.039 minutes an episode rough flee, tells everybody that it's about 0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:06.119 to be the final rows, and then when they leave, 0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:10.319 says sorry, say your goodbyes. That's the true winner of 0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:13.199 every Bachelor season. But let's not say that Christophers doesn't 0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:15.959 work hard. He work very hard behind the scenes too, 0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:20.480 and he needs to be very talented, especially during live shows. Okay, 0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:23.160 So I have a conspiracy theory because on my for 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:29.759 you page, a girl saw Peter in Auburn, Alabama yesterday, 0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:33.280 which is where Madison is from. Yeah, we heard. I 0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:36.960 heard this online rumor that Maddie and Peter were seen 0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:42.160 together this week. Yeah, it's some game something like that. 0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:44.640 I mean, I don't know literally, as it's an online rumor. 0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:47.920 As Harris says on The Women Tell All that even 0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:50.160 Peter doesn't know how Peter's season is gonna end. Yet 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:53.800 he probably doesn't all these false rumors with the He 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:55.920 could be with the producer, he could be with Julie 0:01:57.240 --> 0:02:00.440 sometimes I feel like it. Sometimes I feel like that, honestly, 0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:03.600 could he be with Hannah Brown? No, that's the one 0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:05.480 she got off of The Bachelor, and she turned it down. 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:07.800 And she didn't turn it down because she was with 0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:10.640 Peter because production would have known not to ask her. 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:14.320 Because with Peter. You guys have been in this The 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:17.800 Bachelor nation, like you've understood and you've been on the show, 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:21.600 and you know what's emphasized for TV and what's the 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:25.360 reality of things. So I'm curious what is just show 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:27.200 and what do they dramatize and how much of it 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:31.280 is actually real and accurate? I mean a lot of 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:34.720 it is very everything is real. Yeah, I can't think 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:39.360 of anything that's fake. I mean there are fake people, yeah, sure, 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:44.960 But in terms of like producers creating a storyline and 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:47.639 having cast just go with the story even though that's 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:50.000 not how they actually feel or what they want to do, 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:52.839 that doesn't happen. But sure, yeah, of course, Like actually said, 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:56.360 there's people like go onto this show with ulterior motives 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:59.400 and an idea of what they want accomplished. And there 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:03.040 are people uh just like it will go and do 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:05.680 anything that they think is going to make them look good. Yeah, 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:07.600 they'll say things they don't mean because they know make 0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:10.959 a splash. But ultimately, the majority of the people that 0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:14.200 go on this show are going on the show for 0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:19.200 the experience and doing exactly what we did, which was uh, 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:23.160 just trying to figure out how best to navigate yourself 0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:27.160 going through this weird, crazy, experimental show, and then of 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:32.200 course afterwards with getting thrown into the public and and 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:35.080 having them judge you and and and talk about you, 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:37.960 and um so I think the majority of people are 0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:42.440 just kind of very normal in that aspect. How do 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:44.440 you think it differs from when you guys were on 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:48.400 Bachelor in Paradise, How do you think the show has changed? 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:51.040 And would you come on now in this time where 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:53.680 social media is more present than ever? Um, we were 0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:55.800 at a wedding this weekend for JJ Lane, who was 0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:58.680 on our season, was on Caitlin season of The Bachelorette, 0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:02.440 and we had this joke with Kris Pukowski, who was 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:05.480 I guess also kind of like of our generation, and 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:08.760 he was like, I call our age the golden age 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:11.480 of the Bachelor. It was the time where people signed 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:16.200 up having not known the financial benefits of being on 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:19.920 the show, actually because there was no financial benefits back then. 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:22.680 When we signed up, there was truly like you were 0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:27.479 on TV for a season, and before Paradise there wasn't 0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:31.039 another season you could really be on and um, your 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:34.520 time was over once you got off the show. So, 0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:36.120 you know, the most we thought we would get out 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:39.159 of it is well, there was the chance of ending 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:42.600 up with somebody in the very end, although that very slim. Um. 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:47.919 And then there was just like self growth, making friends, traveling. 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:52.400 We didn't know like these crazy opportunities that would be 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:55.000 coming our way. Yeah, I mean I would still do 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:58.760 it today too, they asked me. I think it was 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:02.760 my mindset would and have changed, um because at the time, 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:06.400 the reason I said yes to the show is because 0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:08.520 I knew I would have always regretted it if I 0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:11.240 said no. It's just so much more pop culture e 0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:14.840 Now it's crazy. You know, there's all these fantasy leagues 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:17.479 and it's Bachelor's so ingrained in our pop culture now, 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:20.760 I think it's more so than I've ever seen it before. 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:24.360 It just gets bigger and bigger. I'm always so fascinated 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:26.920 by that. Like, what is that environment like when you 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:30.320 guys for either side you're surrounded by a bunch of 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:32.320 people I'm not talking about in Paradise, but the bachelor 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:35.599 of the bacherette, and you're kind of competing to be 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:39.880 with someone. What is that environment like with the other contestants. 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:43.240 I mean, I think you just have to compartmentalize um 0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:45.520 or do your best to do so. You have to 0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:48.480 understand what you signed up for that it is at 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:49.960 the end of the day TV show that you were 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:52.240 surrounded by producers and cameras that are trying to make 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:54.479 an entertainment product, and so I think a lot of 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:57.080 guys just forget that. A lot of at least on 0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:59.359 my season, there are a lot of guys that would 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.520 get mad at producers when they said, hey, you know 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:04.599 you can't see her right now. They're like, well, I 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:05.920 want to talk to her right now, and it's like, 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:09.200 well you can't. And then they were like, well this 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:11.120 this is ridiculous, Like you're telling me what I can 0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:13.320 or cannot do. And in my head, I was like, 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:15.960 what did you think was going to happen? Did you 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:19.320 think that you're gonna come on Bachelorette and just do 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:21.280 whatever the hell you want to do talk to her 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:23.960 whenever you wanted to talk to her? Are you insane? 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:26.520 And so that's great. I just never understood that that 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:29.240 would struss me out, Like being in that kind of 0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:32.480 environment the entire time, and Bachelor in Paradise it's just 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:35.640 kind of like you go for who you want and 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:37.840 all of that. Bachelor Pardus is a little bit more 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:41.000 like free willing. You have a little bit more independence. 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.160 You're not on camera like all the time you are, 0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:44.760 and you aren't like you don't have a big camera 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:47.800 in front of your face all the time. Um, but 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:50.240 it's just as stressful. It's actually I found it to 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:52.840 be far more stressful because you can never just relax. 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:55.800 You always have like a threat about to come in. Like, 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:57.440 even if you make it through this week and the 0:06:57.480 --> 0:06:59.320 person that you want chooses to do that week, like 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:01.360 you never know who's going to walk down the stairs 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:05.800 and steal them away. Yeah, well you you said, Um, 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:08.800 I think in an interview that you're like, you were 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:13.640 a character of yourself on Bachelom Paradise, a caricature because 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:15.960 they you were kind of made out to be the 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:18.840 crying virgin. But I mean I was a crying virgin, 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:22.880 but like that's what they that's what they emphasized you as, 0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:27.120 and that's how you were somewhat known for that. So 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:31.120 when that became what you were known for, were you 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:34.720 shocked how much that show emphasized that and did you 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:37.720 expect that kind of reaction from the public. Um. I 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:40.160 think it's always kind of fascinating to me that the 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:46.040 show just is constantly seemingly thinking that virgins are some 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:51.120 unique unicorns. Yeah, that you don't like to find that often, 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:53.560 like they emphasis it's like you've had a virgin on 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:57.760 for like every season in the past five seasons, Like 0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:00.720 obviously it's not that unique, so like, just get over 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:03.200 concentrating so much on that. And I actually feel like 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:06.440 this season with Madison's it's such like a moral thing 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:09.120 with her, it's a religious thing that it's coming up now, 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:11.960 But it doesn't seem like something they've been fascinated with 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:14.880 over the past couple of weeks, you know. When that 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:18.040 happened with your season, I found it really interesting because, like, 0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:20.680 you know, it's kind of like high school in that way. 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:23.320 You know, a lot of people focus on the peer 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:25.720 pressures of what you should and shouldn't do, So like, 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:29.040 how how did you get through high school and college? 0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:30.800 Like that? Because I'm a junior in high school and 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:33.319 it's it's a constant subject and I don't think it 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:37.400 should be, So how did you do it? I didn't 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:41.080 become really comfortable talking about it until I was on 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:45.520 The Bachelor, so I don't really know. I mean, high school, 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:47.720 like most of my friends are virgins in high school. 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:51.400 Most most of my friends didn't didn't have sex until 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:54.679 they were in like mid college years. But I know 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:58.880 that's probably like way above the national average or whatever. 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:01.440 But I just never elt pressure in that case. And 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:03.480 the Jonas brothers, you know, they were, they're great road 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:07.160 balls at the time we earrings. Yeah, so I'm like, 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:10.280 I'm not alone like those guys in my same boat. 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:13.400 I know, you like signed up for it technically, but 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:16.200 is it weird having like the entire world like know 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:19.679 your love life and know who you're dating or if 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:23.080 you got rejected or if you're rejecting someone, Like, is 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:26.280 it weird having the entire world know so much about 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:29.520 you when you don't know anything about them. No, it's 0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:33.920 very normal. I don't even know. I know you're being sarcastic, 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:37.800 but it really never faced me, really, yeah, I mean 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:40.400 I've always just liked attention. It never faced me in 0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:43.079 the moment, you know, when we were down filming, you 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:46.760 just try to, you know, stick to your gut and 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:51.240 hopefully make the right decision. But of course afterwards, when 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:54.719 it started airing, I would think about it a lot 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:59.280 more because then everybody else started chiming in with their 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:02.200 perspective on what I should or should not have done. 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:06.480 The Passion in Paradise. Just watching it, it's like an 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:10.400 emotional roller coaster. So I cannot imagine being a part 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:13.800 of it. So when I know actually said it was 0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:18.160 love at first sight when you saw Jared, When Jared 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:22.199 did you realize, you're like, oh, like I got to 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:24.760 get her out of the friend zone. According to his vows, 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:34.240 it was also at first sight. I know, I know beauty. Yeah, 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:36.360 I mean I think when I first saw actually there 0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:40.920 was definitely a connection there that I was struck by. Um, 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:43.760 but I'm also as actually knows a very stubborn and 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:50.600 um uh adamant person to stick into my ways, and 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:53.880 so you know, I think that was a big deterrent. 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:56.600 But uh, and then our love just grew over time, 0:10:56.920 --> 0:11:00.000 uh you know, as we were becoming closer and closer friends. 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:01.800 So it's really hard to pinpoint, but of course I 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:04.760 would say when I first saw it was a good 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:07.880 place to start. And I think, honestly, which is why 0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:13.680 a lot of bachelor uh couples fail is because you know, 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:15.920 you leave this show and you get thrown at so 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:18.520 many opportunities and like that's your brand, right, You're you're 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:21.240 branded as as a couple, and so I think a 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:23.200 lot of people just spend so much time together and 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:27.120 they don't develop a strong enough foundation. So at times 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:28.880 you know, it just becomes so top heavy that at 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:31.800 certain points and just crumbles. I think Actuley and I 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:35.280 became very lucky in hindsight, um that we developed such 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:38.760 a strong friendship beforehand that we really know how to 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:40.640 handle each other. She knows how to handle me better 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:42.680 than anybody in this world, and I think I have 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:45.640 a pretty good idea of how to approach ashually in 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:49.760 certain times of attention or sadness. So if there is 0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:53.200 another Bachelor show where bachelor couples had to come on, 0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:57.079 what do you do? We say that that they should 0:11:57.080 --> 0:11:59.040 do this all the time. I don't know how they 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:01.400 haven't done it yet. It's really bizarre, especially with all 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:04.800 the spin offs that they're doing. To have this coming summer, 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:07.960 the Summer Games and Bachelor in Paradise and have them 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:11.400 both be for singles is like kind of mind boggling, 0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:14.439 and like shows like some sort of like I don't know, 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:18.079 sounds bad, like a lack of creativity, especially when their 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:22.160 bachelor couples are the ones with the big followings and 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:25.160 that people always want to have updates on. If you 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:27.679 end up doing a number of shows and you keep 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:32.319 ending up single, like people do, kind of lose interest. Okay, 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:34.719 So if there was a show, what do we think 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:36.880 would happen? Would it be like couples doing things that 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:41.200 would test their relationship? I think that the strength, So 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:43.040 what kind of I don't think I think that would be. 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:45.840 I don't think that would be tasteful And that would 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:47.160 be like a little bit. It isn't like called like 0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:50.080 tempt isn't temptation island like that. I wouldn't like that. 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:52.199 I think it should be like an amazing race thing 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:56.640 where it's like the couples together show their strengths in 0:12:57.040 --> 0:13:00.600 like how they work together as a team to accomplish mission. 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:06.320 You should pitch it. I would watch that. We've been 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:08.360 down that road before. We did a digital series called 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:13.160 What Now with us Tanner, Jade, and Nick, which was 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:16.800 a little bit of a look into the world after 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:20.880 reality TV, and um, we're very proud of it. And 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:23.720 I think it's a very interesting concept because I mean 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:25.800 from the number of times that people just ask us, 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:29.720 you know, what's life after the show? And you know 0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:35.080 Instagram and you're what we do for a living now? Um, 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:39.440 I think it's pretty interesting. So you guys do, like 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:42.160 you said, you guys work from home, and you do 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:45.840 social media and you do other partnerships. Um, I'm always 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:48.320 curious in like the behind the scenes of things. What 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:52.080 is that process like to kind of develop yourself as 0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:55.880 an influencer and create a brand around social media. The 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:58.920 people that follow Ashley and I are following us because 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:04.200 they either liked Ashley or they liked me, or they 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:06.760 like us together. It's an extension of what they saw 0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:09.440 on the show. So I think it's really hard for 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:11.600 us to pinpoint, you know, I mean, what people want 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:14.280 to see from us is more us. I know that 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:18.559 sounds very self indulgent, but it's true. It's true. If 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:22.800 I post about things that I that I'm passionate about, 0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:24.800 you know, people don't really care as much. But then 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:27.560 I post a video of Ashley farting, and people lose 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:29.920 their minds. People loved it last week. It was like 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:33.120 it very lucky. I can post that stuff all the time, 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:34.880 you know. But I think it's also because they follow us. 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:37.200 It's probably a lot of people who are in relationships 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:42.200 who are invested in our relationship that you know, they relate, right, 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:45.200 they relate to our relationships. So they see Ashley farting, 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:49.560 They're like Oh my god, I fart too. Yea, you 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:52.600 ask a question that truly like we ask ourselves sometimes 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:54.720 because we don't even know what people want to see, 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:57.080 and we throw things out there and it's always a 0:14:57.080 --> 0:14:59.760 test to see what works and what doesn't work. Apparently 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:05.040 parting does work, but it's really authenticity. The more you show, um, 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:08.320 the more content that is relatable that you put out there, 0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:12.960 the more you're gonna see feedback, positive feedback. Do you 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:14.840 think you would be where you are now if it 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:17.720 weren't for your experience on the Bachelor and making to 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:24.240 each other? No, I'm s no, not at all. Um. 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:26.120 I have no idea what I'd be doing, to be honest. 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:30.760 I mean I graduated from Syracuse to my masters before 0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:33.680 the year before being on the show, and I would 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:36.680 be doing something in media, but I don't know if 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:39.920 it would be on the camera, behind the camera, in 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:44.200 social media, no idea. Jared would probably be still working 0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:48.120 in the restaurant industry. Um. Yeah, I mean the Bachelor 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:52.640 gave us a platform, um, and so that's what really 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:55.640 started at all for us was that platform, and then 0:15:55.680 --> 0:16:00.320 everything just started snowballing. Do you guys have any like 0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:03.080 hobbies that people don't know about. That would possibly be 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:06.840 another career for you or just you doing your free time. Um, 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:09.440 I don't know, that'd be a possibly another good career. 0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:12.080 Jared just like he loves playing sports as much as 0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:18.720 he can. Yeah, he part He's just joined a new 0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:22.080 just recreation. Yeah, it is fun. I haven't played in 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:25.000 a long time and I missed playing. Um so I 0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:26.640 just signed up for Lead by myself and it's been 0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:29.520 fun to play. Me some friends, meet some friends. So 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:32.520 I love playing sports. It's my probably my biggest hobby. 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:34.760 And if I were to consider it a hobby, like, 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:37.360 I'm just really into food. Um, I really like cooking. 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:40.640 Um we use our fresh possa maker every week, and 0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:43.280 it sounds I mean like that's as much of a 0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:45.840 hobby as I can. Yeah, I mean like I love 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:48.520 beauty stuff. I love skin care. And if I were 0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:50.960 to go yeah, if I were to go back and 0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:53.360 do it again and not be on the show, I 0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:57.040 mean I love media as well, but um, I would 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:01.240 definitely wonder which path that would take, whether it be 0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:09.320 media or whether it would be der dermo you know, wow, dermatology, 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:13.040 or whether it be dermatology. Yeah, it's it's that kind 0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:16.359 of day. It's a Monday. I have this partnership with 0:17:16.440 --> 0:17:19.239 dermal Logica, and I was like, I can't get the 0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:23.600 word dermatology in my head and get the word dermal 0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:29.879 logica out of it. It's another hobby of Yeah, it's like, 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:32.320 is that is movies and TV hobby? I don't think so. 0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:35.520 I'm very into it. I mean, like a movie critic. Yeah, 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:37.120 I mean I feel like I know a lot about 0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:40.680 the film industry. UM, Like a goal of mine would 0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:46.040 be to make a movie, so which I'm actively working on. UM. 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:49.199 And so yeah, I definitely I think that would be 0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:52.440 described as a hobby to what is your favorite top 0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:55.159 three movies for both of you? And I'm looking for 0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:57.439 new TV shows, so if you have any recommendations. So 0:17:57.480 --> 0:18:00.520 I was actually just thinking about that, not tvent movies 0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:06.520 my my favorite movies because uh, it fluctuates. UM. But 0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:08.640 I always say The Social Network is my favorite movie, 0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:09.720 and I think at the end of the day, it 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:12.639 probably is because it's a movie that I could watch 0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:17.359 two forty seven times straight and still not get tired of. UM. 0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:20.480 And I think it's very specific. Yes, I think it's 0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:24.000 just a masterpiece in filmmaking. And then probably my top three, 0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:25.480 as random as this is going to be, and it's 0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:29.000 obviously my own opinion, but my favorite three movies or 0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:34.840 Social Network, the Superman, the movie with Christopher Reef, and 0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:40.480 then The Matrix because I think The Matrix again, uh, 0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:42.640 might be one of the greatest films ever made. And 0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:45.439 I'm definitely dating myself. Were you what you were? You 0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:49.040 born two thousand two, But don't hate me. I've never 0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:51.680 seen any of those movies, but I'm going to tonight. 0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:57.160 I promise you you were and you can watch. Yeah, 0:18:57.280 --> 0:19:00.320 you can watch a social network. I don't know how much. Yeah, 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:05.400 I mean social network obviously is that you'll you'll enjoy Facebook. 0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:08.159 But yeah, you were ten when it came out. So 0:19:08.200 --> 0:19:12.280 it starts Jesse Eisenberg Andrew Garfield justin timber Lake and 0:19:12.280 --> 0:19:17.320 it's the story of creation of Facebook. It's fascinating. Oh yes, 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:21.480 I know what you're talking about. It was she was 0:19:21.520 --> 0:19:27.240 eight eight wo um. Yeah. My favorite movie it's Titanic. 0:19:27.680 --> 0:19:31.639 Titanic is my top favorite movie, and then everything else. 0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:34.560 I can't rank. I don't think I can rank, but 0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:38.199 I can throw the names out. Um, Pretty Woman, the 0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:42.720 Wedding Planner when Harry met Sally, Jerry McGuire, my big 0:19:42.920 --> 0:19:47.360 Greek rom Common big Gyboding would be up there that high. Um, 0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:52.359 The Star Is Born, The Greatest Showman m one of 0:19:52.359 --> 0:19:54.480 my favorite movies of all times that I think is 0:19:54.520 --> 0:19:57.960 so underrated is crazy stupid love. Oh, Jared's is with 0:19:58.040 --> 0:20:00.320 Jared's top five, I would say top ten. That movie 0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:03.320 was probably the reason I was on the bachelorte. Wait really, yeah, 0:20:03.800 --> 0:20:07.000 just wanted to be. I wanted to be. I watched 0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:10.720 that movie in my room at my parents house. Were 0:20:10.760 --> 0:20:15.480 you eleven? Yeah, uh something like that. Yeah. The point 0:20:15.480 --> 0:20:17.760 of the story is I watched that movie and immediately 0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:22.080 afterwards I was like, I need to get a new wardrobe, 0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:25.440 and so I went to uh, oh my god. I 0:20:25.480 --> 0:20:29.240 went to the only the classiest place in the Warwick mall, 0:20:30.160 --> 0:20:35.600 J C. Penny, and bought some new wardrobes. Lovely, did 0:20:35.640 --> 0:20:39.040 you dress like Ryan Gosling? I draw a very low 0:20:39.080 --> 0:20:43.840 budget version of Ryan Gosling, but oh yeah, and then 0:20:43.880 --> 0:20:47.399 I started drinking old fashions and uh I would uh 0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:51.479 remember actively like practicing my pickup lines for girls at 0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:54.040 bars because he was just so suave where he's like, 0:20:54.080 --> 0:20:56.280 you know you're doing this thing. What's your pickup line? 0:20:57.480 --> 0:21:03.879 What was key? Of course if you had if you 0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:06.719 had to pick a blind what were they? So my 0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:10.119 what I did? It's so so if I was at 0:21:10.119 --> 0:21:12.119 a bar and I saw a girl that I wanted 0:21:12.119 --> 0:21:14.320 to talk to you, it's very funny you can talk 0:21:14.359 --> 0:21:17.480 about Obviously I didn't, so I don't have a move. 0:21:17.560 --> 0:21:21.480 But I just Ashley knows this. There are times when 0:21:21.560 --> 0:21:25.359 I can be very very insecure and be very down 0:21:25.400 --> 0:21:29.760 on myself. But I also find that if I'm comfortable, 0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:32.920 I can be also very confident in myself. And so 0:21:33.119 --> 0:21:36.280 I remember, like at bars, I would be very confident. 0:21:36.520 --> 0:21:40.879 I remember I would I would project confidence and I 0:21:40.920 --> 0:21:43.400 would like I would always like and then a girl 0:21:43.440 --> 0:21:44.879 would come up to him and be like, keep like 0:21:44.920 --> 0:21:48.560 never mind, no, no, no, that would come later what 0:21:48.600 --> 0:21:51.359 I'm saying, and so, but I would always try to 0:21:51.400 --> 0:21:55.960 make eye contact, uh in like very subtle ways, and 0:21:56.320 --> 0:22:00.879 always be smiling, and it would always be like that 0:22:00.960 --> 0:22:03.280 weird like and then I'd always make sure I was 0:22:03.359 --> 0:22:05.520 kind of like around like if I finally like I 0:22:05.520 --> 0:22:07.480 could feel like some sort of chemistry between a girl 0:22:07.760 --> 0:22:09.359 and myself at the bar, I always make sure I 0:22:09.400 --> 0:22:11.640 was around for a little while, kind of like build 0:22:11.720 --> 0:22:16.719 upon it, and then I would, Um, I mean sometimes 0:22:16.760 --> 0:22:18.600 I go over. Most of the times, I'd never go over. 0:22:18.840 --> 0:22:20.400
