It's it's, you know, 85 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: all about the longevity game. Probably having some fifty spf 86 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: um and then I might try to tear it down 87 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: a little over over the body over the course of time, 88 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 1: but you know, at least thirty SPU.

Now have you Have you received 93 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: any advice as to how to pack for Paradise because 94 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: it is a little bit of a different packing process. No, 95 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: you know, uh and uh, well let's see how to 96 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 1: phrase this appropriately. On my on the journey of the batchlrette, 97 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 1: I made a whole Excel spreadsheet with everything really mapped out, 98 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: and I had you know, my tin rose ceremonies and 99 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 1: the different optional as with shirt and tie combos. But 100 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 1: things are a little bit loosey goosey on the beach, right, 101 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: It's like you're just throwing some trunks, throw on your 102 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 1: you know, button up your your your overshirt or your 103 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: tea or whatever. And I think you're ready to go, 104 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 1: but you you tell me, I'm all ears. Okay, do 105 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: not pack anything with sleeves, like suits you really don't 106 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: even need. Maybe like bring one jacket, but don't bring 107 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 1: like I was so silly the first season. I probably 108 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: leather jackets and jean jackets thinking he would get chili 109 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: at night. Maybe no, it does never, it never gets 110 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: chili there. Um. Then I was able to convent condense 111 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 1: my stuff from like having two full suitcases. So was 112 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: one suitcase or paradise because everything you pack is so 113 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,679 Speaker 1: tiny and light because it's all short sleeves, bathing suits, 114 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 1: stuff like that. Just know that you will be in 115 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: your bathing suit, you know, seventy percent at the time. 116 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: Sounds pretty fun.

But I'll try to 123 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 1: keep that cone down and then there's plenty of room 124 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: for trunks.

You know, I've been pretty pretty 163 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: upfront and honest and intentional with my interests, and it 164 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 1: is with you know, one lady, her name is, her 165 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:22,439 Speaker 1: name is Kelly Flannagan certainly quite interested in Kelly Um 166 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: and you know, you know those there's been gossip and 167 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 1: rumors of you know, me and me and kit Um 168 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: and you know, unfortunately, you know, vascination. I think that's 169 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: just been a little bit of a misconception based on 170 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: you know, sort of our initial introductions on the show 171 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,839 Speaker 1: and then you know the fact that we we grab 172 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: drinks in New York, um, you know, platonic basis, and 173 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 1: it was the first time we had met. I think 174 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: she's a fantastic you know girl, and Um, I think 175 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: we've you know, we'll have a great friendship. But you know, 176 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: we're just so far apart in age. It's you know, 177 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: twenty one and I'm almost thirty seven here at the 178 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: end of June. UM And I think, you know, age 179 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: isn't certainly every thing right, but I think that, you know, 180 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: I'm one that the next couple of years, I'm really 181 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 1: looking forward to hopefully getting to work on some kids 182 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: and I don't think kids, you know, really you know 183 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: there yet, um, you know in that in that regard 184 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 1: and Um, while I do think she's certainly, you know, 185 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: very mature, and wi's been under years, I just I 186 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 1: just don't think that that's kind of you know, a 187 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:24,679 Speaker 1: reasonable age gap for us to enter into a relationship 188 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: at this point in our lives. So when you did 189 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: go and get drinks, was it obvious that you're going 190 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: into a platonic meeting? Yeah? I think so. Um, you know, 191 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: we we talked about, you know things. I think even 192 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: I talked about Kelly at one point even when we're 193 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: out together. So I think I was like pretty pretty 194 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,599 Speaker 1: straightforward with that whole you know approach. A couple of 195 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: things here. One is you haven't hidden that you're you're 196 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: very interested in Kelly. Um. You know, you sit in 197 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: a unique position this year, as most viewers know where 198 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: Paradise has been planned out. It's been questioned it's you know, 199 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: gonna have multiple seasons on it. Um. People have been 200 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 1: able to in the midst of kind of the lockdowns, 201 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: loosening up, getting back together again from past seasons. All 202 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: that stuff is happening, right, do you at all as 203 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 1: a as a viewer of the show. Now for me, 204 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 1: do you all seem like you're setting yourself up for 205 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 1: failure because the show now knows what your interests are, 206 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: meaning you've been very clear that Kelly you're into Kelly. 207 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,719 Speaker 1: Do you think that that's gonna be able to be 208 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: provided to you in a free and unbiased like opportunity. 209 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: I'm clapping because this is a fantastic thought then, because 210 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: I went into Paradise too, and the producers knew that. 211 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 1: They just they're like, Ashley is going to be all 212 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: in on Jared, um, you know so, and she's freaking 213 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: out about the possibility of which women he'll be interested in. 214 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: So we're going to mess with her. You know this? 215 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: Are you? Are you ready for this? Bennett? Yeah? No, 216 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Um, you know, I'm not nervous about it. 217 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: And my view on that was, you know, oh, if 218 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 1: I put out there that I'm flirting or interested with Kelly, uh, 219 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 1: you know, everyone will know it. And I'm just, you know, 220 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: almost thirty seven years old. I don't give if you know, 221 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 1: Like I mean, I'm like all four, like put it 222 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 1: out there. Um, and you know the fact of you 223 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,959 Speaker 1: as you're talking about uh, you know, producer or something, 224 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,959 Speaker 1: you know, having their way or sabitizing this. I don't 225 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: think I'm guaranteed anything. I don't even know if Kelly 226 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: is you know, going on Paradise. Um. You know, I 227 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: think there's a lot of you know, women out there 228 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 1: that I don't know, UM, you know who perhaps I 229 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 1: haven't had my eye on or haven't had is you know, 230 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 1: flirtations with um. You know that could potentially present themselves UM. 231 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 1: Or there could be some sort of opportunity there that 232 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: I just don't know about. UM. And so I'm open 233 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: to that by all means. But at the same time, 234 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,199 Speaker 1: you know, I think at thirty seven I live most 235 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: most things that I do in life are pretty deliberate 236 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,319 Speaker 1: and pretty intention at all. And you know, I have 237 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: no problem putting it out there and going after a 238 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: woman or flirting with her and letting up be known, um, 239 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: whether it's private or public or however may be. Yeah, 240 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,479 Speaker 1: I mean, ultimately, we still gotta believe that on Paradise 241 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 1: they want to see love stories being formed, Like you 242 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: gotta still believe that, And so I would be shocked. 243 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: I've never known of it where they would be like, yeah, 244 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,319 Speaker 1: we're just gonna like totally destroy this relationship for the 245 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,559 Speaker 1: sake of It's like, no, this could be really cute, right, 246 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: this could be really sure? What is it? Before I 247 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 1: threw back to actually, what is it about Kelly that 248 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 1: does stand out to you the most? Like? Why is 249 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: why is she the one that you're you're now being 250 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 1: intentional about? Yeah, you know, I think she's absolutely very 251 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: very smart girl. She's very well spoken. I think, um, 252 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: you know, our journeys and the way that um, you 253 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 1: know it sort of played out you know, on on 254 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: TV or are quite similar. That was something that she 255 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: you know, identified with me very early on. And I 256 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: think you know that that was pretty insightful on her 257 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,079 Speaker 1: her end. Um. You know, I don't want to put 258 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: her on you know, blast or anything. Um, but I 259 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 1: just think that there's there's a lot of you know, 260 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: good similar overlap, um and potentially some you know, mutual 261 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: interest that could be uh, you know, worth exploring. I 262 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 1: know she's you know, kind of sort of seeing someone, 263 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: but to the extent that that's all you know, super 264 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 1: serious at this point in in her relationship down and 265 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: down in Florida, I don't I don't think that's the case, 266 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: I think she's you know, moving to New York and 267 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 1: there's a lot of life to be living in between 268 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: now and then, and you know, we'll we'll see how 269 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: things kind of you know pan out. Um. But you know, 270 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: I again, I don't, you know, I've never been on 271 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: a date with her yet, and I think that you know, 272 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 1: there's a heck of a lot you know, that will 273 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: tell and when you kind of get together with someone 274 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 1: in real life versus just having some you know, conversations 275 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: or dialogues here and there, um, and obviously seeing people 276 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: on TV and having a perception of them. Who is 277 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: she kind of sort of seeing right now? Uh? Not 278 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: like to concern with other guys. That's not you know, 279 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: my approach in life at all. Remember in the bachelor 280 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: community that Ben and I aren't aware of because we 281 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: aren't young uns anymore. No, I mean I think she's 282 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 1: talked about that. Um. You know, you probably just aren't 283 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: like keeping it keeping the pulse on Kelly Flannagan quite 284 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 1: as hard as I am, you know, But I think 285 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: you know, she's just got something down there in Miami. Um, 286 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: to the extent that it serious, I don't I don't 287 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: think that's really the case, but I don't know the 288 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: day to day. You know. Now, this is gonna be 289 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: a really weird conversation for you, Bennett, but I have 290 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: to ask it and Ashley, you and I am Bennet 291 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: have to talk it through. So if I know, right, 292 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: Peters in New York Right, Yeah, so she's now moving 293 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: to New York City. I'm sure there's gonna be a 294 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: lot of crossover in groups, are you? Is that going 295 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 1: to be weird? Like I like, look at like X's 296 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 1: and I'm like, yeah, I don't necessarily like dislike them, 297 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 1: Like obviously I liked them for a season of my life, 298 00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 1: so I appreciate these people, but like I don't want 299 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: to be like, hey, hanging out with him socially very 300 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: often like that doesn't that feels awkward?

And so 310 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: we talked about it. He said, you know, that's not 311 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: the case at all. I think, uh, you know, it's 312 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: just someone that I really care about and always will. Um. 313 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: But you know, he I mean technically, you know, gave 314 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: his blessing and said that that was you know, by 315 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: all means, seems like you're, you know, a great guy. 316 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: I really appreciate you asking.

So it 321 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: was a really nice conversation. UM. I think it's fresh, 322 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,120 Speaker 1: you know, and I want to be respectful of that. 323 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 1: And I'm not trying to you know, obviously, I'm in 324 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: no position. We've got the whole other factor of the 325 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: equation here, Kelly to deal with. So, UM, you know, 326 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,360 Speaker 1: I'm not, I'm not, I'm not. There's nothing to really 327 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 1: talk about, you know at this point. Um, but I 328 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: think you know, it was a very good, positive and polite, 329 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: you know, respectful conversation. Um, and as far as you know, 330 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: hanging out with in the future, I mean that's part 331 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,360 Speaker 1: of kind of this whole Bachelor you know nation world 332 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 1: that we're living in, right, So it's like what you 333 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: signed up for. I can't really, you know, think too 334 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 1: too much into that at this point, obviously haven't even 335 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 1: gone on you date one with her, So can you 336 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,400 Speaker 1: describe to the audience what you did to flirt with her? 337 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: She posted something like a hair flip Instagram reel or 338 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: something set to Mariah Carey's fantasy and then you did 339 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: what I did, a little counterpost with the same same 340 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: jam you know, fantasy, um, alluding to her pretty pretty 341 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,639 Speaker 1: you know, directly, and um, you know I got her 342 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: approval to do it beforehand.

Then that could have been very big backfire 346 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,679 Speaker 1: in my face. But you know, she said she appreciated 347 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,400 Speaker 1: the boldness and you know, kind of flattering. So that's 348 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 1: that's all good, you know, Um, shoot your shot and 349 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: run with it.

I was prepping for this whole thing, 355 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 1: trying to figure out what in the world we're gonna 356 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 1: ask you. And there's a lot to ask you. Obviously 357 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,440 Speaker 1: you're a very interesting guy. And um, you know, outside 358 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 1: of the dating world that you have and the potential 359 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,119 Speaker 1: of maybe going on paradise, you have a job and 360 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 1: you're moving around.

You're doing 366 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 1: it very essentially we are caviar. That was it, um, 367 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: and it made me feel all sorts of weird watching it, 368 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:16,199 Speaker 1: like like a weird one. You know. Engagement's engagement, you know, 369 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 1: for for better words, you're getting that engagement, right man?

Like, was w did you sit 372 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,919 Speaker 1: down and go this is gonna be something that I 373 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,119 Speaker 1: want to put out to the world for engagement, Like 374 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 1: what was going through your head? Because I watched and 375 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,959 Speaker 1: I was like, I can't stop watching it for some 376 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: weird reason, which I don't like any more than you 377 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 1: know before. But also I feel weird for watching it 378 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 1: even once. You know, of course, um, that's a pretty 379 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,640 Speaker 1: weird one. Don't get me wrong, you know, I'll put 380 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 1: it this way. I've learned something new on on social 381 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 1: media every single day. I probably have since, um, you know, 382 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: the show ended, and I can't keep up with the 383 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: kidties these days. You know, sometimes you get crazy ideas 384 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,679 Speaker 1: when you're you know, almost thirty seven year old man 385 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,399 Speaker 1: in your apartment, lose your mind at in quarantine this 386 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: would be funny, and you're like, man, maybe maybe that 387 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,239 Speaker 1: was not the best idea, you know that one. That 388 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: one was you know, trying to be funny and do 389 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: do a little little little nudge um at Matt James, 390 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: you know, for his you know, hummus charcuterie boards, which 391 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 1: obviously he's doing as a joke. Um, and you know, 392 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 1: his his open eyed kissing. So I was trying to 393 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:27,160 Speaker 1: tie in some some upscale charcutery boards with the caviare 394 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: and then also you know when you when you you know, 395 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,359 Speaker 1: eat caviar or when you you know, make out with 396 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:32,919 Speaker 1: the girl, close your eyes, you know. I think that 397 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,120 Speaker 1: was just kind of like part of the joke. Um 398 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 1: the delivery. You know, Uh, you use the word cringe 399 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 1: if you like, that's fine. I think it was. It 400 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 1: was you know, like funny to some ridiculous to everyone. Um, 401 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 1: but you know, that was just part of it. Again, 402 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,880 Speaker 1: I'm just kind of shooting, shooting, shooting some content out there, 403 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: trying to hopefully put some smiles onto people's faces and 404 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 1: make people laugh. I don't blame you. I know how 405 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 1: hard it is to come up with with with stuff 406 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: to do. So I'm all for him. And I did 407 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: not use the word cringe. I used it, I know 408 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 1: I did. Uncomfortable way appreciate that. Bennett, your your guys 409 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,159 Speaker 1: from your season are super close, like you have a 410 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: nice little camaraderie. I feel like you guys have hung 411 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 1: out a lot in New York City together. Do you 412 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: feel like there's any way the bonds can be torn 413 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: a little bit based on drama that could happen in Paradise, 414 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 1: of course. I mean I think that happened like that. 415 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 1: You know. Um, I think I think there's um, you know, 416 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 1: a lot of great guys and a lot of maturity 417 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,440 Speaker 1: um from our season, which I'm so thankful for. UM. 418 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 1: But obviously there's some people that are you know, closer 419 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 1: in little clicks than others. And you know, you throw 420 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: in all the other factors that go into a production 421 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 1: or Paradise or much less, you know, double that many girls, 422 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: and there's bound to be some drama. So you know, 423 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 1: I think that's almost a hundred percent guarantee. Well, would 424 00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: you fight Joe for you know, your your friend Dr Jeff. 425 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: You know I'm I'm not gonna gonna fight anyone Joe. 426 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 1: Joe and I will not fight. I'll throw that out there. 427 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:10,199 Speaker 1: UM and UM, you know, I mean, I you know, 428 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 1: my my view is this, it's, um, We're not We're 429 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 1: not competing, you know, like there there's there's competition there 430 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: with you know, when there's one bachelorette plus guys. Um, 431 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: you know, if you're being serious about relationships and you're 432 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:28,679 Speaker 1: being serious about finding your future wife and you know, 433 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: mother mother of your children hopefully. UM, competition shouldn't really 434 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 1: be part of the factor, you know, part of the 435 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 1: part of the you know, the equation. Um, it's it's 436 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,360 Speaker 1: a lot less about competition and finding that and you win, 437 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,920 Speaker 1: you know, mutual connection into two way street. I think, 438 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure there'll be some conflict, but I 439 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: don't think it's like a competing you know, sort of 440 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 1: an issue and that Yeah, Joe came on here and 441 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 1: mentioned that he was in the Kelly also and that 442 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 1: you guys are friends and this could be really entertaining, 443 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: which is something that I'm very excited to watch because, uh, 444 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,920 Speaker 1: you know, he came on and it's been a good 445 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: in depth with us and kind of dove into that 446 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: and just had thrown out there like, yeah, he's interested 447 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,120 Speaker 1: in Kelly, and then he made the comment but who 448 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: isn't And there's always that, like you know, the people 449 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,639 Speaker 1: that go into paradise where you know, I remember, just 450 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,440 Speaker 1: off top of my head, like Jade was one of 451 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,919 Speaker 1: these people. Jade back in the day Jade walked to 452 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,119 Speaker 1: the beach and everybody was like, oh, like any relationships 453 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 1: that we're existing. We're like on the line to be 454 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: ruined because Jade was such a hot commodity walking onto 455 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,160 Speaker 1: the beach. I think Kelly, if she comes, we don't 456 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,880 Speaker 1: know yet, that hasn't been confirmed, hasn't been not confirmed, 457 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: would be that.

You know, is 474 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,639 Speaker 1: it real? Is it not real? Like? Is he just 475 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 1: playing up to a character? Like I think there's a 476 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:45,679 Speaker 1: little bit of that. He just mentioned it with his 477 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: caviar post where he kind of thought through a good content. 478 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: Here's the thing. The one thing I think can be 479 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,679 Speaker 1: very like is true with him that we can't always 480 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 1: get out of people that are going on to Paradise 481 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,680 Speaker 1: or going onto the Bachelor's I really do think he's 482 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,119 Speaker 1: interested in finding love, Like I think this is a 483 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 1: priority for him, which makes no matter like how much 484 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,119 Speaker 1: ridiculous content he puts out there, which makes me go, 485 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 1: I want to watch it, like, I want to see 486 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 1: if he finds love or not. Yeah, you have a 487 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 1: good point there. He said multiple times at his thirty 488 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 1: seven looking for the person to marry and have kids with. 489 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,360 Speaker 1: And he makes such a good living doing what he does. 490 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 1: I don't think he's worried. He's not in it for 491 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 1: the money anything that can come out of it for that. No, 492 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,400 Speaker 1: definitely not. I mean I think if anybody goes into 493 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 1: this stuff for the money, they're going to be gravely 494 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 1: disappointed most of the time. Um, but Ashley, we do 495 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 1: have a lot of headlines to read. Obviously, we did 496 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,159 Speaker 1: a special episode last week when Colton Underwood came out 497 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 1: on Good Morning America and told the world that he 498 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,159 Speaker 1: is gay, and we're gonna follow that story and just 499 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: like what what's happening in his life more and more 500 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,719 Speaker 1: because you know, the next Flix documentary that has been 501 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:59,639 Speaker 1: talked about. I don't think it's been um confirmed, but 502 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 1: it's like it's definitely like being filmed. Something is being filmed, 503 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,159 Speaker 1: so they're gonna be we're gonna be hearing that and 504 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 1: seeing that. Um. But as we talked about last week, UM, 505 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,919 Speaker 1: you know, Colton did make the announcement UM and people wondering, 506 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:15,679 Speaker 1: you know, what does Cassie think of this?

Yeah. 511 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,879 Speaker 1: She doesn't need to, no, no, yeah, nor does she 512 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 1: have to. So she said, thank you everyone for the 513 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 1: kind comments and messages. Some of you are asking about 514 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 1: my YouTube for this week. I decided to take a 515 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 1: week off. Um, but I will have one up again 516 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: next week, so that's that's it. She was also on 517 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 1: vacation with her family during the time of the Good 518 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 1: Morning America interview. Yeah, well more about Colton. Tasia Adams 519 00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: has spoken up uh Colton under it was not always himself, 520 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,919 Speaker 1: she says while filming Bachelor's Season twenty three. This according 521 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 1: to US Weekly, do you remember how awkward she was 522 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: when he left her room after the Fantasy Suite date? 523 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,679 Speaker 1: It was it was like a very like it wasn't 524 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 1: even like a spoken about awkwardness that was on the show, 525 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,400 Speaker 1: but like watching his viewers. Viewers are like, what happened? 526 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:23,679 Speaker 1: Like something weird went down. That's still a mystery. Maybe 527 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 1: Tas she'll be more open about it now. We will 528 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 1: will find out. But what she did say this week 529 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:34,119 Speaker 1: on her podcast Clickbait was first, I was a little 530 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,440 Speaker 1: shocked at first, um, but all in all, the happiness 531 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,199 Speaker 1: that I have for him that he's finally able to 532 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: live his truth and to be out and to have 533 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,880 Speaker 1: that sense of relief that I got from his interview 534 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,120 Speaker 1: is something that I have to commend immensely. I am 535 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 1: just so happy that he's able to just be him, 536 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 1: she said, even on his season getting to know him 537 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: pretty intimately and getting to know him in a way 538 00:27:58,000 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: UM that I that I think a lot of people 539 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: have been able to. There was always something that I 540 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 1: couldn't get a read on him with, Like, I feel 541 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 1: like he was not always himself. And now it makes sense, 542 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 1: she said, I feel like when I was trying to 543 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 1: have those serious conversations with him, and when I was 544 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,160 Speaker 1: trying to picture a life with him down the road, 545 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 1: there was always something that he would kind of like 546 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,719 Speaker 1: put up a wall against because he couldn't fully believe 547 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: that and that's not really what he wanted. And now 548 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 1: it makes sense as to why he wasn't able to 549 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,399 Speaker 1: get there with me. Well, moving on from that story, 550 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 1: we have another story that's been kind of moving and 551 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 1: grooving through our podcast world and through the world of 552 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: Batch Nation for a while now. Bill Moss has finally 553 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 1: addressed the cheating rumors reuniting with Claire Crawley and whether 554 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: they're still engaged. This according to Entertainment Tonight, Yeah, but 555 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 1: not really. He doesn't really address any cheating rumors. He 556 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: just said that, um, when they went through this their 557 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: split that was was not even a thing. It was 558 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 1: never a topic of conversation. Um. He did say that 559 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 1: currently in their relationship, they are taking more time, spending 560 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: more time together. Claire and I are in a good place, 561 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 1: and when the time is right, we will definitely talk 562 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 1: about those things. But for right now, we're just focus 563 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 1: on one another. We're keeping things private and that's working 564 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 1: for us, and in time, we'll speak about that together. Um, 565 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 1: I and you just said, yeah, we're in a good place, 566 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 1: focused on each other. He's gonna leave it at that. 567 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 1: I don't. Yeah, so we don't know whether they're still 568 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 1: engaged or not because he's not gonna tell us. Well, 569 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: this headline is one that if you're like scrolling through 570 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 1: the podcast right now, I'm I'm telling you you want 571 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 1: to stop and listen because this is probably one of 572 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 1: the biggest headlines that have never has never been brought 573 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 1: up before, that will ever read. Peter Weber, Yes, the 574 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 1: former Bachelor, says he was super close to quitting his 575 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 1: Bachelor's season to be with Hannah Brown. This according to 576 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 1: cosin Politan, this is so juicy. How did we not 577 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 1: get this out of him? I guess the last interview 578 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: we did with him was a year ago, which is 579 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 1: mind boggling that time has flown so fast and he 580 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 1: wasn't as open, but holy crap. Yeah, he just said 581 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,719 Speaker 1: in an interview with US Weekly's Here for the Right 582 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 1: Reasons podcast that, um, he remembers when Hannah showed up 583 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 1: on his season with the Limo and like he was 584 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 1: like that limo showed up and just sat there for 585 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 1: like fifteen or twenty minutes and nobody got out, and 586 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 1: I'm just standing there and no one's coming up to me. 587 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 1: And they apparently didn't show that part, and he said, 588 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,360 Speaker 1: I'm just waiting there. I'm like, Okay, when's the door 589 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 1: going to open? What's the surprise going to be? No 590 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 1: producers came up to me or anything. And then he said, 591 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 1: I was an idiot. Producers probably hated me. But literally, 592 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: I think they edited this part out when he was 593 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 1: actually having a conversation with Hannah. So Hannah gets out 594 00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: of the limo and I don't know whether it's the 595 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 1: scene where she gets out of the limb or whether 596 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 1: it's the scene where they're at that first group date, 597 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 1: but he says this, I'm gonna leave the show, Like 598 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 1: if you want to if you want to give this 599 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 1: a chance, I'll leave right now. And then Hannah said, no, 600 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,360 Speaker 1: you can't do that, Peter, you're the bachelor. You signed 601 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 1: a contract. And then he was like, no, I'll do it. 602 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 1: What are they going to do to me? He said, 603 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 1: I don't know what I was thinking that day. I 604 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 1: was very confused. So I can't tell by the tone. 605 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 1: But you remember this during his season where Hannah Brown 606 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 1: showed up. It was teased. It didn't really it fell 607 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 1: short of what we expected in their conversation. We thought, 608 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 1: oh my, is she coming back on his season? Are 609 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 1: they going to leave together? It was a big deal. 610 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 1: For a while, we thought there was potential for it, 611 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 1: and then it never really played out. Is he saying 612 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 1: that like he like he still wishes he would have left. 613 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 1: Does he regret not leaving? Like? I can't tell by 614 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 1: the tone. Oh, I can't tell either, But I'm thinking, 615 00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 1: like I want to know why they didn't show. I 616 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 1: guess it didn't that because like even the fact that 617 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 1: she said you have a contract, you're the bachelor is 618 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 1: something that they don't like to show, right, would have 619 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 1: ruined the rest of the season too, right, I mean, 620 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 1: how do you have a bachelor dating other women when 621 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 1: at the start of the season he was like, hey, 622 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,960 Speaker 1: I don't I'm gonna leave for you, like it would 623 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 1: have just bringing another bachelor. Well that they weren't ready 624 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 1: for that yet. Well, um well he did finish the 625 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 1: season and ended up with Hannah Anne. This headline is interesting. 626 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 1: Peter Webber recalls how hard it was to break up 627 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 1: with what he says is the sweetest soul, Hannah Anne. 628 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,720 Speaker 1: He said, it was just such a stressful time in 629 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:40,200 Speaker 1: his life, so tough. He never wanted to hurt someone 630 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 1: like that. He said that that Hannah and is the 631 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 1: sweetest soul you could ever meet. Nothing about her as 632 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 1: fake on real and having Matt Hannah, I mean, holy 633 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 1: holy crap, she is just like a sweetheart. And he said, 634 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 1: knowing that I was going to hurt her absolutely just 635 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 1: tore me up and I was not okay for a 636 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 1: while after that. Now it's in the pass and we're 637 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 1: looking forward. But he did say he wanted her to 638 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 1: become the bachelorette after that, so he said to the producers, listen, 639 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 1: I feel horrible for what's going on right now for 640 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 1: Hannah Ann. Is there any chance that this can you know, 641 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 1: help her go on and find her her person through 642 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 1: the Bachelorette.

Well, she didn't become the next Bachelorrette, 649 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 1: but we could still see her in Paradise right.

I told Adam 665 00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,640 Speaker 1: the other day, We're sitting on the couch eating Cheetos, 666 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:01,880 Speaker 1: eating ice cream, all this junk food, and I'm like, 667 00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,439 Speaker 1: can you believe we met on a TV show? This 668 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,520 Speaker 1: is just so normal now, but I still can't believe it. 669 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 1: And I had the same sort of feeling with Jared 670 00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 1: the other day. We're like laughing in the car and 671 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,799 Speaker 1: just like having always we're always just having a great 672 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,759 Speaker 1: time together.

I guess that's how all meat stories 678 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 1: are though, right. It's like, if you didn't show up 679 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 1: to this place at that time or send that message, 680 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,520 Speaker 1: you never know what could have happened.
