1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: with our radio. Hey guys, welcome to the Almost Famous podcast.

3
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,400
Speaker 1: A joy to be back with you this week. Unfortunately

4
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: Ben had to take the week off he's on a trip,

5
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,240
Speaker 1: so I have maybe the greatest co host filling in

6
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 1: for him I could possibly ask for. It is Lauren Siema,

7
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: who you know as an entertainment correspondent from Entertainment Tonight.

8
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: She has she hosts in produces the most popular segment

9
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 1: I think on their YouTube, Roses and Rose and Roses

10
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,520
Speaker 1: and Rose airs on broadcast TV and YouTube. By the way,

11
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: so Lauren interviews so many celebrities a list, but her specialty,

12
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: her real niche is when it comes to past, present

13
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: and future contestants on the Bachelor franchise. And we must

14
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 1: note that she's also Chris Harrison's girlfriend of two and

15
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: a half years. Everyone welcome Lauren Zeema, my friend. So

16
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: glad you're oh Miss Ashley I Canetti icon, beloved Bachelor

17
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 1: industry veteran, also media maybe and I just feel like

18
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: I need to give you some pops back after what

19
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 1: was just the best intro I've ever gotten. Thank you

20
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: so much. I couldn't be happy to be here. I

21
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: feel like so lucky because I've never been on you

22
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: and Ben's amazing podcast before, and now I get to

23
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: come in and guest co host with you. This is

24
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: a dream and I'm not I recognize that today that

25
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: you had never been on this podcast, and I was like,

26
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: that's so weird because we've talked to Chris multiple times

27
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: about you, but you are one of my favorite people

28
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: to watch recap. You are honest, but never in a

29
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: mean way. So I love I love how tasteful you're

30
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: able to make fun of the show. Well, thank you.

31
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: That's what I always think, right, I'm not a hate watcher.

32
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like the core of all

33
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: the recapping interviewing we all do is like we love

34
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: the show, right, Like, I don't understand there's some people

35
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: who I feel like just want to totally hang on it,

36
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: and I sort of think, well, then why are you

37
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: watching the show? Um? Like, the best thing to me

38
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: is to have fun with it, but not make mean

39
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: fun of it. So thank you for saying that, that's

40
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: the tone that I tried to strike. I completely agree. Okay,

41
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: So I want to jump into the Bachelorette recap right now.

42
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 1: We heard from you fans that you guys want to

43
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: recap above headline, So that's what we're going to do

44
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: from now on. Let's start with the first scene. It's

45
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: the cliffhanger resuming. We have Bennett versus Noah. Who were

46
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: you rooting for during this, Lauren, Oh my gosh. Well,

47
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:42,239
Speaker 1: I had loved Bennett pretty much the whole sport. Yes,

48
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: I was a big fan, you know, to be the

49
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: big Bennett fan. And then I had turned on him

50
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: this last episode because I felt like he was just

51
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: getting a little too harsh with Noah. And then it

52
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: wasn't coming from like a grounded place. I didn't understand

53
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: what the real issues with Noah were, and I did

54
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: not think it was coming from a helpful place Bennett.

55
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: So let's take the spa water drink a little more

56
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: and make sure we're making good choices. Um So, But

57
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: in this moment, I'll be honest, I just was thinking

58
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: to send them both home. I don't think was going

59
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: to happen. Is that what you predicted? What? What? What

60
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: did you want to happen? Well, I thought that was

61
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: gonna happen. I thought that would probably be like the

62
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: smartest decision. However, I do feel like she has a

63
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: connect with Noah. We've had good moments with Noah, especially

64
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: in that mustache shaving episode. I haven't really felt any

65
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: chemistry with her and Bennett. I think Bennett has been

66
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: great TV, super entertaining for us, has had glimmers of

67
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: coming out of his shell slash character sture, but has

68
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: never really gotten there. And you're right, the character got

69
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: a little old in the past week or so because

70
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: it was all funny until we realized we're like, wait,

71
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: I think he's funny because he's so self aware. Oh wait, ship,

72
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: is he not civilware at all? It's the old school

73
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: phrase Bennett jumped the shark. I think he went far now.

74
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: All that being said, I still hope and pray to

75
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: see him, you know, hopefully if things don't work out

76
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: with Tasha, which I don't predict. There's any obviously coming

77
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: back from here, but I do hope to see him

78
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: in Paradise. I I think with Tasia, you can really

79
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 1: see that she like I felt like she was cringing

80
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: a little bit every time Bennett went in for a kiss.

81
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: I agree that this is not there. And then with Noah,

82
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: I feel the physical chemistry is more there, but the

83
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: emotional wasn't. So that's why I thought send them both home.

84
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: But I think the thing about Tassia is and probably

85
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: why we're seeing these guys seem to fall so hard

86
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: for her, is that she's just great to be around.

87
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: So it's almost I don't know. I was reminded a

88
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: bit of both of them, actually with both of them,

89
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: of watching Tasha with j p J. Like I kind

90
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: of agree, you know, like like you knew that she

91
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: thought he was funny, and then maybe she thought he

92
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: was cute, but you didn't sense a long term Noah.

93
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: It reminds me a lot of that. Yeah, yeah, and

94
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: and like Bennett too, but in a different way. And

95
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: I do think Tasia is also kind of so nice

96
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: that she would give someone maybe more chances than they

97
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: might deserve. Like I'm not saying she doesn't, like she

98
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: tells people how she feels, but she's she also is like,

99
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: I'll give you a second chance, you know, like when

100
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: she told Noah, and the thing is, once she told

101
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: Noah you're gonna stick around for the Rose ceremony, was

102
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: sort of thinking, well, she can't send him home. Then

103
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: I know that was a dead giveaway to us that

104
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: that he was going to stick around. And then when

105
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: you kind of looked at the other guys to be

106
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 1: sent home, you're like, Okay, I guess if I compare

107
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: the chemistry between her and Noah and like her and

108
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: demor Ed, I understand now. Now what I thought was

109
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 1: wacky was the fact that Blake stuck around. But we

110
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: could talk about that later. Oh my god, why did

111
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: I just blank on her? Blake? Blake on Blake. He's

112
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: the one that has the beard all around his jaw.

113
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Blake. We're still in this place sometimes

114
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: where I do feel we're getting to know these guys better,

115
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 1: but yeah, there are some episodes where we're still like

116
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: not seeing a lot of like, oh my gosh, I

117
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: forgot Blake still here. That means Blake shouldn't be here.

118
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 1: If by this point I was exactly it was bizarre.

119
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: And then we saw spendserly before him too, and we

120
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 1: know that they had an early connection, but that didn't

121
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: really develop. But anyway, let's we'll talk about the Rostromer

122
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: and a second, I do want to talk about how Tasha,

123
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: you know, pulls Bennet aside. She says, that she feels

124
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 1: like she's in a hard place. She asked Bennett if, like,

125
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: if he's questioning her integrity, She's so articulate in these moments.

126
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, God, I wish I was you. And then

127
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: she says that she doesn't that he doesn't have the

128
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: right to tell anyone who she's going to end up with,

129
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: that she's gonna end up like, you know, because he

130
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: said there was zero percent chance of Noah ending up

131
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: with her in the end. So she's like, you don't

132
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: have the right to say that. But it apologizes, but

133
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: then she says that there's just like too much drama

134
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 1: around him that she feels like he's condescending. You know,

135
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 1: there's that oh my god cringe alert when he starts

136
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: talking about the four components of e Q emotional intelligence.

137
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: Can we get him and Taylor Nolan together? Um, I

138
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: don't want anybody to quote Bennett on that. Nothing about

139
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: that felt emotional intelligent, emotionally intelligent. No I was like,

140
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: I don't know where he got this from. If he's

141
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: trying to quote that book he has, I don't think

142
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: he's doing it right. Kids, do not turn to this

143
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: moment on the mature for your accurate information on emotional

144
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: intelligence and maturity. I also felt like, how did you

145
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: feel about the criticism of Noah period? Like I think

146
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: in this episode Noah said something like age doesn't mean maturity,

147
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: and I totally agree. And I'm not sitting here singing

148
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: Noah's praises, But do you think he's as immature as

149
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: Bennett is acting? Like, you know, we're weeks beyond wherever

150
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: that moment that Bettett started name calling him immature and

151
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: I can't even remember what did it even branch from?

152
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: That's my thing. I have felt like with this fight,

153
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: I don't even know what it's about. And I kind

154
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: of felt that way also with like the Chase and

155
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: an ed fight. Of course, I don't know if we're

156
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: missing some plot points, but I didn't understand Lauren. I

157
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: really think that they had no drama, Like I think

158
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: these guys got along really well. I think that Tasia

159
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: wasn't creating any drama bout making like questionable decisions like

160
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: we saw with Peter last season, And I just think

161
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: that there wasn't and they were just kind of like

162
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: pulling at straws in any little tension they really exploited.

163
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: I don't disagree with that. I mean, look, I think

164
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: that I think what we are missing is like the

165
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: playful drama. We're getting a lot of really real reveals

166
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: and there were even more in this episode from Ben,

167
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: but like people talking about really real issues, and I

168
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 1: think that's so powerful to share on t V and

169
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: to normalize for people watching at home. And it seems

170
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: silly next to those conversations to have drama that seems

171
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: to have no substance. It does, but I think it's

172
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: between a rock and a hard place because also, at

173
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: the same time, what's the show we know and love?

174
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: It's The Bachelor and The Bachelor, you know. I I

175
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: love when the show will give you, um, give the

176
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: viewers a a moment that makes them think because it's

177
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: given to them in this like digested way where we're

178
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: watching this you know, silly reality show and then oh wait,

179
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: we've kind of like reflected for a minute and had

180
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 1: our eyes open to something. But at the same time,

181
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: we love the silly reality show, so I understand why

182
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: there It's like, we've got to give people something, you

183
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: know what I meant, it would be weird if we

184
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,079
Speaker 1: didn't have any sort of arguments. I feel like we've

185
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: gone from I keep saying this from one extreme to

186
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: the other. Claren Dale was like the most insane drama ever,

187
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: edge of my seat, like what is happening? And then

188
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: now we've gone to like the most real stuff. And

189
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: yet I will be honest, I'm missing Claren Dale. I do.

190
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: I don't miss that section of the season at all.

191
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: I live for tetatious side and it's so funny because

192
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: I really, Oh, I'm like soaking in these episodes. That's

193
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: so interesting. Okay, well, let's get back to Noah and

194
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 1: Tatia's little one on one sash. She says that she's

195
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: confused because there's been like so much drama surrounding Noah

196
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: now and he hates the fact that he's the center

197
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: of drama, which, of course everyone says that who's ever been, like, oh,

198
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: I love being a center of drama. And then Noah

199
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: um talks about how Bennett was talking down to people

200
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 1: the gift that was so condescending. Um, he gets a

201
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: little emotional and like he says that he wants Tia

202
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: to make her own decisions. She ends up deciding that

203
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 1: Bennett is the one that's going to go. She sends

204
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: him home. He's like shocked, which I don't know how

205
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: he's shocked. And then she comes and don't you love

206
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: this moment when she goes, don't you be smiling like

207
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: you're in the clear? Look Tasha is. She does that

208
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: standards with all of these men, like standards that they

209
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: need to meet in her conversations with them, which I

210
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,719
Speaker 1: love seeing. And I thought ben It's exit was good.

211
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 1: I'll give him that. He's like, I'm so sorry if

212
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: that came across that way. He did have a mature

213
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 1: moment of just owning anything. And I might have also

214
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: missed this, but I didn't really sense that he was

215
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: questioning Tasia's integrity. I did understand where she was coming

216
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: from that she was saying, you know, you don't like

217
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: make the decisions for you. But I thought Bennett gave

218
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: a solid exit. He he apologized, and uh Noah seemed

219
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: to be just totally befuddled on how he arrived in

220
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: his current state. I know, right, I know, but it

221
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: was it was funny. I love. I just love the

222
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: way she said that. He was like, oh, oh, okay,

223
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: I know, well, you know what we're talking about, Bennett.

224
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: Let's fast forward to the end of the episode because

225
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,839
Speaker 1: it does kind of can tinue this storyline. Bennett comes back,

226
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: and I was like, mind boggled. First off, do you

227
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: remember a couple of weeks ago when there were rumors

228
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: that her husband was going to make an appearance on

229
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: this season? There was like TikTok's floating around that his

230
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: voice the subtitle. Yeah, so I thought she was going

231
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: to open that fence door or whatever that was and

232
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: see her husband there, But then it was Bennett. So

233
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: I was shocked for multiple reasons. And then it just

234
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: unfolds to be like the weirdest thing that I've seen

235
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: Tassia do in the past couple of weeks, or like

236
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: the most questionable because one we we never really felt

237
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: chemistry between her and Bennett, but now she's believing that

238
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: he loves her, and she's even considering bringing him back,

239
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 1: And especially at a week where she's deciding who her

240
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: top four hometown dates are going to be, what do

241
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: you feel like was behind this decision? I think I

242
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: go back to what I said before, where it just

243
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: seems like Tassia is a nice, second chance giving person

244
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: and I sort of wonder if she just was too

245
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: kind too in the moment tell someone who just said

246
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: I love you no goodbye? Um. Maybe or maybe we

247
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:15,839
Speaker 1: are missing something huge from his storyline. Maybe I don't

248
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: like to bring up edit, but perhaps there's more chemistry,

249
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: They're more connection that we're not seeing. And because he's

250
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: such a caricature that it's like just funnier and more

251
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: polarizing to keep him looking like a caricature without any emotion.

252
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: It's the only thing that I can come up with.

253
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: If this was like a couple of weeks ago and

254
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: she was going to let him join like the ten

255
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: remaining men, sure, but the week that she's trying to

256
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,839
Speaker 1: limit it down to four just seems bizarre. She also

257
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: says she's like, I was planning on giving you that rose,

258
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: so she was planning on him being in her top

259
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: how many you left? Six or seven? Interesting? I know

260
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: that was interesting for her to hear her say she

261
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: didn't she wasn't gonna send him home that night. But

262
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes I wonder about do you ever like

263
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: date someone for a while because it seems like it

264
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 1: should work, and you know, ultimately you have to face that,

265
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: like as much as this person on paper seems great,

266
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: like it's just not there, you know, Yeah, yeah, I

267
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: get it. I'm like, maybe that's it with Bennett. He's

268
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: this guy who's mid thirties. Obviously it's a great education,

269
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: so he must be smart. Even though you know what,

270
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: I never got to ask you about this. He really

271
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: get all those answers wrong on you and Jared's school date.

272
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: So he must have been getting the same amount of

273
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: questions wrong as the other guys for not to stand

274
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: out to us. And we just saw the questions and

275
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: answers that he got wrong. I'm like, how is Boo

276
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: getting this wrong? He went to Hart and I just

277
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: don't believe it. I had very major skep uh skepticism,

278
00:14:55,280 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: But I you know, he's so, he's educated, he's uh,

279
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: you know, he dressed as well, he's handsome, he's kind.

280
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: He he does respond at li Cetasia prettymaturely, except for

281
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: this Noah thing. And I sort of wonder if he's

282
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: a guy, like is she and has she kept him

283
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: around thinking this guy seems great and yet she really

284
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: knows the connection isn't there somewhere, you know? And is

285
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: she wondering if it will develop, if the spark will come,

286
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: if she just gives it more time. No, I don't

287
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: think so Okay, well you think there's a big piece

288
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: missing in their relationship that we haven't seen on the show.

289
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: It's the only excuse because if we were to go

290
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: with the theory that you just gave, which is a

291
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: great theory, but like, look at what she did last

292
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: week with Easy. She was having a great time with Easy.

293
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: Easy was creating no drama. Um, but then the second

294
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: he said I love you, she was like goodbye. Yeah.

295
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: But I don't know, I hadn't. I felt like I

296
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: hadn't seen her an Easy talk that much. I've seen

297
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: Bennett more like, you know, promise things he was going

298
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: to give to her, like that for proposal he gave

299
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: her on that scab that was one of his glimmers. Yes,

300
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: So I felt like I'd seen more from Bennett and

301
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: between her and Bennett then with Easy and her Easy said.

302
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: When Easy said that to me, I felt like, where's

303
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: this even coming from? This? Honestly, I felt like, even

304
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: though I loved watching Easy, I felt as though he

305
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: was just saying that because he thought that's what you

306
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: say on this show. That's what I thought that Bennett

307
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: was doing when he came back. No, Bennett, I think

308
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: is caught up. I believe Bennett kind of okay, So

309
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: that's where I wanted to go from here. I think

310
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: that he's a harvard Man, handsome Harvard man, has a

311
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: great job. I feel like women are probably after him

312
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: all the time, even though he doesn't seem to have

313
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: his emotional intelligence like down so well um, and then

314
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: this woman so stunning, so smart herself denies him and

315
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: picks like other men over him. I feel like he's

316
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: having this like shook moment and he's falling in love

317
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: in that way that like you can't have the you

318
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: can't well, you can't have Yeah, we all want we can.

319
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 1: I was the oldest brick in the book. Yeah, exactly.

320
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: That's how I'm married today. I believe in I think

321
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,199
Speaker 1: you gotta play a little game in the beginning to

322
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 1: you know, keep people on their toes. That's what you

323
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: gotta do. I will say some of the stuff that

324
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: Bennett said when he returned. I had seen a lot

325
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: of people compare Bennett to a Christian Bale's American psycho character.

326
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: I don't want to my own horn, but I do

327
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 1: believe I was one of the first people to say

328
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: that publicly, and I'm like, guys, the non violent kind.

329
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 1: It doesn't want to make sure right, just again the

330
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: caricature for the first time. It was just like the

331
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: way he was talking when he came back, and some

332
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 1: of the things he was saying, like in this tone

333
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: he was coming in. I mean, I was laughing. It

334
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: was great TV. He's coming in. He's like, can I

335
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 1: come in? Oh, it smells amazing in here. I'm so

336
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:58,199
Speaker 1: happy to see you. I was like, what, I know.

337
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: I know he's a wild one. He is somebody that

338
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 1: we've never seen on this show before. Uh, and we'll

339
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 1: see how his storyline ends. I cannot imagine her keeping

340
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: him around. No, there's no way, right, no way. Well,

341
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 1: we see in the promo that he's wearing a suit

342
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: and talk to the other guys. So I'm like, he

343
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 1: makes it back in some way. You're right, he does

344
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: make it back into the group. You Know what's interesting

345
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: is as we lead into hometowns, I think about the

346
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: hometown is not really being hometowns but more like family

347
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: week and these families they've got to be quarantining already.

348
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 1: So I'm wondering, right because back at liquina. We had

349
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: to quarantine for five days before maybe it was four nights,

350
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 1: two tests, always to tests before we went into you know,

351
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 1: public spaces. So I'm thinking, Um, these families are probably

352
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: already quarantining and they're gonna have to send some of

353
00:18:56,119 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: them back without even making it on the show. Oh painful. Well,

354
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 1: sorry Mom, Sorry Dad. I know it's so confusing. I

355
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: get that we have to keep calling at hometowns because

356
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 1: that's the show, but I want to call it like

357
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: family staycations or like family vaca, because nobody's going to

358
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: their hometown. You know, we're all at the liking Duck.

359
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 1: I'm very interested to know if they've brought parents and

360
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:21,959
Speaker 1: siblings and stuff, or if it's like do they just

361
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: bring parents in? If they bring in more than parents

362
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 1: and siblings, did they get the family like a little

363
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 1: house or are they in different rooms? Like I have

364
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: a lot of logistics questions. I'm very excited to see.

365
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: I also will say I don't think Bennett's going to

366
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: make it to his family being met on the show,

367
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: but I really want to meet Bennett's family. I want

368
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: to see where this kid came from. Oh my god,

369
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: you can you imagine how amazing that would be. What

370
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: if his family is just super normal? Right? I think

371
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: he said on the really revealing our date. I think

372
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 1: he said he didn't grow up in privilege, because that

373
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: was that moment where Noah like through the word privilege

374
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: at him and by the way, spelled it wrong. Um,

375
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: but I will so I want to see. I have

376
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: like a lot of questions I taught when I interviewed

377
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: um Dr Joseph Park are wonderful doctor who was I

378
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 1: thought sent home too soon? I asked him, are Bennett's

379
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: closed for real? Like? Is that really? Like? You know,

380
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,679
Speaker 1: it seems like he's so well dressed and expensive, And

381
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 1: Joe said Lauren his shoe collection, like one pair of

382
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: shoes costs more than like all the shoes I owned

383
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 1: put together. He was like, the cost of this man's

384
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: wardrobe was insane to me. So I'm like, where's this

385
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: coming from? Is it family money? Is it? He? Is

386
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,479
Speaker 1: he incredibly successful? For real? Like? I have a lot

387
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 1: of questions. We gotta do some background research. Alright, we're

388
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: gonna take a break right now from this recap, which

389
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 1: is going fantastically, but we're gonna break. Then we're gonna

390
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: be a fan on for a fan question. They have

391
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: a couple of questions for you, I think Lauren, and yeah,

Speaker 1: What do you think should be next for us? Oh?

417
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: I would never be so presumptuous as to decide what

418
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: you guys should do. I just I'm just worried about you, guys,

419
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: because I love you so much. Okay, I was just

420
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 1: wondering if probably should like take any big next steps together.

421
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, like maybe move in or anything. I

422
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: I always like to get the fans opinions and then

423
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 1: take everything they say very seriously. Um and by the way,

424
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 1: I don't mean to take up too much time. I'll

425
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 1: hang up and I'll take my answer off the air. Okay,

426
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 1: thanks Chris Harrison. Oh, but we really wanted to know

427
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 1: Billy Bob from Texas. Okay, well you know Billy Bob.

428
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: I will tell you my my Bennett and Joe. Uh

429
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: flirtations were were if they appeared that way. We're purely

430
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: as a fan, just loving them as good TV. Um. Actually,

431
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: when I interviewed Joe before the interview started, he said,

432
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 1: is this interview gonna make Chris Harrison mad? And I

433
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: was like, Wow, maybe I've gone too far, Maybe I

434
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 1: showed too much love for Joe. So you know, I apologize,

435
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: Billy Bob before you leave. I just have a quick question.

436
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: Do you think that there's like a conflict of interests

437
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: with Lauren Ziema dating Chris Harrison? Like, do you think

438
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: that she gives her all these behind the scenes uh

439
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: tidbits and she's able to conduct the greatest interviews because

440
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: of it? Well, actually, um, I don't know, um, because

441
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not around them. I wish it would

442
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: be a dream come true to be near them. Um.

443
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 1: But sadly, I think it's the opposite that Chris is

444
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: so um behind the times and so not cool that

445
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 1: he actually learned more from Lauren about his own show

446
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 1: than he probably knows himself, which is really sad wellefully unaware. Yes,

447
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 1: you're right, Billy Bob. I don't how you knew that,

448
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:06,640
Speaker 1: but you're right. I deliver it alright, Well, Billy, thank

449
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: you so much for calling in and uh by, ladies,

450
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: love you both, have a great day. You'll have fun

451
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 1: if you fine? Good? I love you, stranger. Wow, what

452
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: that really got me? I really didn't expect that. I

453
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 1: was so excited to talk to a fan. Not that

454
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 1: that was disappointing, but I mean, Chris Harrison's voice is unmistakable.

455
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: That's hilarious. Thank you for doing that. That's of course,

456
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: that was very fun. Now, I gotta know, does Chris

457
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 1: actually get jealous a little bit when you talk about

458
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: guys being hot, whether they're from the franchise or not,

459
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: because Jared doesn't love it. He says that because you know,

460
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 1: like all four of us really are public figures, it

461
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 1: would be too easy for us to meet and somehow

462
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: fall in love with our celebrity crushes, bachelor crushes anything

463
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: like that. Oh interesting. Um, he doesn't care at all

464
00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: about when it comes to like bachelor stuff, you know,

465
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 1: because I think Chris's franchise doesn't like right, Like I've peeked,

466
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 1: like like why why why I go out for a

467
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: hamburger when you have steak at home? Um? I also

468
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:19,360
Speaker 1: think it's like like, Chris is really great at man

469
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 1: crushing on people. You know, he's got more man crushes

470
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 1: than girl crushes. Oh my gosh. We literally I'm not

471
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: even joking you. The other day we were like, um

472
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,120
Speaker 1: pulling our car into somewhere and this guy got out

473
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: of his car and uh, Chris goes literally goes, wow,

474
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 1: even I have a crush on that guy. I was like,

475
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: I didn't even notice that guy, what are you talking about? Like,

476
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 1: and you know he'll like, you know, throws up all

477
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 1: the love to uh Matt James and Matt james Is

478
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 1: and Tyler Cameron's of the franchise for their incredible fitness, Like, yeah,

479
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 1: I don't think he cares at all? Do I think

480
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 1: he gets so maybe about me interviewing. I interviewed Richard

481
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: Gear one time, and I really don't think that Chris

482
00:25:58,040 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: likes how much I bring that up is my face

483
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: interview ever, because Richard here was like one of my

484
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: childhood crushes. You know, you're a rom como woman and

485
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: all that. He doesn't look like pretty woman anymore, but

486
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 1: still the auras there fox now, yeah, I mean, and

487
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: he was just incredibly charming in the interview. And I

488
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: always cite that as my favorite interview, and I feel

489
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: like Chris is like, Okay, can we stop talking about that?

490
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: Why am I not your favorite interview? You know, sometimes

491
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 1: your your childhood crushes live up to you. I mean,

492
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 1: if they live up to what you want, how can

493
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: you go? How can you get better than that? I know?

494
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 1: All right, well, let's get back into the recap. I

495
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: do want to talk about your personal life a little

496
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: bit more later, but we'll do a whole little interview

497
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: with Lauren Zema or LZ as Billy Bob slash. Chris

498
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 1: Harrison just referred to her as Okay, so we're done

499
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: with Bennett, but now we're on to Ben and wow,

500
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: that was a heavy, deep date. Um so impressive. Um.

501
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:04,439
Speaker 1: Let's let's start by saying that Ben has been the

502
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 1: object of Tasia's affections. I feel like for a while,

503
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: he has stood out to me for a long time,

504
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 1: but there was always something that she felt like she

505
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: couldn't get inside him. Yeah, deeply his brain, There's there's

506
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: something there. Right, last week we saw an evolution. I

507
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: still feel like the whole naked thing was a little

508
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: bit weird, but the fact that we learned about Bulimia

509
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: and his issues with that following the strip, and then

510
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: especially this week after knowing when he's gone through over

511
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: the past couple of years, you know, with those lows,

512
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,120
Speaker 1: I think the strip makes a little bit more sense now,

513
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 1: just because like he couldn't be like, oh, you know

514
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: what I'm going to be I'm going to explain all

515
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: of that I've gone through in front of these men

516
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: with a piece of art. It's like, no, I'm going

517
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 1: to save this up for private time with her. What

518
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,160
Speaker 1: were you thinking? Yeah, I mean when you look back

519
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 1: at that art date and like I think Brendan held

520
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:08,479
Speaker 1: up an empty frame, Blake made a clay penis Like

521
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: it was like Ben could not get into his level

522
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: of stuff amongst that collection of works. Um, I was

523
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: so blown away when he said I could correct me

524
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong, but I think he said like his

525
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 1: family didn't even know that he had attempted suicide, but

526
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 1: he was s first person. So that was that made

527
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: me think that Ben does have so many layers to him.

528
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: And um, you know, I know he was in the

529
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: army and and then not anymore. And I think sometimes

530
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: when you've like so fully devoted your life to something

531
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: that it's out of your life. That's a huge transition.

532
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: It sounds like he's gone through so much. And I really,

533
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 1: you know, raised my glass to him for again normalizing

534
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 1: being open about some of these tough things on such

535
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: a huge platform. Um. I I was surprised when to

536
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: just said I feel like I'm not getting something out

537
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: of you, because in my mind I was thinking, oh

538
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 1: my gosh, but he just shared so much with you

539
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: last week. Maybe she meant like, I feel like there's

540
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: still more. Yeah, yeah. I I also applaud Taia for

541
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: how she responded to it. I just felt like it

542
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: was a really beautiful conversation because that's something where you know,

543
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 1: it is so important what you give back to somebody

544
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: when they've shared like that with you. And I thought

545
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: she handled it really well. Um yeah, I mean Ben

546
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: is he is somebody who I think she does have

547
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: unlike you know, maybe the Bennett. She is incredible physical

548
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 1: chemistry with him when he grabs her face and kisses her,

549
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: and so I'm thinking, one knowing they have that physical

550
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: chemistry and now they're connecting on these really deep reveals,

551
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: I'm sort of like, how how this is like an

552
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 1: unstoppable it's becoming an unstoppable connection. What what do you

553
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: think their future hole? I think really, yeah, do you not?

554
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: I feel like it goes down betwe him and Zach

555
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: and I think he's gonna win. Um, We're just seeing

556
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: too much goodness between the two of them. And yeah,

557
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: I just want to like just second when you said

558
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: like the power and that he Yeah, it was such

559
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: a powerful moment them having that conversation. It was something

560
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 1: that we truly have never seen on this show before.

561
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: We've had like some serious conversations, right, we had this,

562
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: We had the Black Lives Matter conversation with Ivan a

563
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, we had the drug addiction conversation

564
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 1: with Zach, Um with Kalin with the sexual abuse, and

565
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,479
Speaker 1: now we have a conversation here about suicide and just

566
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: truly brave and powerful for him to be so open

567
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 1: and vulnerable with us, um and you know, it's just

568
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: something that we need to talk about. And I love

569
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: the fact that the show is having these open moments. Yeah.

570
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: I didn't shy away from it, especially for you know,

571
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 1: a man to open up about it. Get that's something

572
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 1: very people get into. Um. I man in terms of

573
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: Ben winning or who might uh be there at the end.

574
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: I will say she and Brendan had such a strong

575
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: first one on one, and you know, we haven't seen

576
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: him lately, and sometimes when I'm watching the show, there

577
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: will be somebody who has like that great one on

578
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: one in the beginning and then they kind of lay

579
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: low for a little while and then pop back up

580
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 1: at the end. And he'd been divorced too, so they

581
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: connected on that and I felt like she had great

582
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: chemistry with him. She is having such strong connections to

583
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: these guys because they've lived you know, these are older guys,

584
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 1: they want been through stuff, and they're opening up and

585
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 1: I think, my, I think something that's going to have

586
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: to happen from here is Like I also want to

587
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: see Tastia get into who she could really live a

588
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: real life with after the show, And I don't know

589
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 1: if we've gotten into that. I feel like we've seen

590
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: her have these guys open up and they're connecting, but like,

591
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: what does the future look like for them? Like, and

592
00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: I don't totally know who she'd fit it's best yet

593
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: in that regard, you know what I mean? Like, Yeah,

594
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know what Ben's actually I'm

595
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: forgetting where Ben's from. I don't know where he lives.

596
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: He lives in l A. He lives in Sa Monica.

597
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 1: So it's really close to her, okay, because she's a

598
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: calli girl and exacts all the way on the East

599
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: Coast that stopped Bachelor couples before. Um yeah, interesting, Okay.

600
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: I I don't see Ben going anywhere. I think at

601
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 1: this point they've shared so much and like I'm seeing

602
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: him sticking through hometowns for for sure. Okay, No, I

603
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: completely agree, but sticking to that Zach and Ben in

604
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: the end, So what else have we not talk? We

605
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: do need to talk about Riley In his serious conversation,

606
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 1: Riley was, Okay, it was so funny. I was watching

607
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 1: with my dad and once he got that question wrong

608
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: on the group date where they're doing the lie detector test.

609
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 1: My dad was like, there's a story behind that, and

610
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 1: I was like, really, you think up there, lo and

611
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 1: behold there it is. You know. He talks about how

612
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 1: his parents separated, how his dad end up at up

613
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: getting so custody, and he finds some things out about

614
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: his dad years later doesn't sit well with him. Now.

615
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: It seems like he went from being a strange to

616
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: his mom. Uh, to reconciling, and now I think that

617
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: maybe he's got some distance between him and his dad.

618
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: He ends up changing his name to his mom's mom's

619
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: maiden name or whatever name that she has currently. And uh,

620
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: we're just learning so much about these guys. You know what,

621
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 1: your dad had a better spiky sense or a bachelor

622
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 1: sense than I did. I just thought this LIE detector

623
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: test seems like the as I detector test. Dates you

624
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: don't I am just like, is this real? I don't know.

625
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 1: Isn't there something where like is Jojo monitoring this? Is

626
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 1: there's someone it's back room whose licensed to do this? Like?

627
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 1: What is the efficacy is someone? I just had questions

628
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: about the logistics, considering we had three eight bulbs red, green,

629
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 1: and yellow that we're blinking around with the answers, what

630
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 1: did the yellow ball? Bean? Was it a half lie?

631
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 1: I was so good and then I thought that it was.

632
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:12,720
Speaker 1: I thought there was gonna be a joke about like, Okay,

633
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: it wasn't really real because Riley said, I'm a lawyer,

634
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: LIE allowed my clients to use. Well, for anyone who

635
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 1: watches crime shows, we know that LIE detective results are

636
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 1: not admissible in courts, and it's because you know, yeah,

637
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 1: they can be a little wonky, or because that's because

638
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 1: it's just like well with Zach, you know, Zack forced

639
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 1: himself basically to say yes, he cheated because he knew,

640
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: like in his nerves, in his brain, the little time

641
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 1: where he made out as a sixth grader with a

642
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 1: girl that wasn't his girlfriend was gonna pop up. So

643
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: he was super honest. So that when Zack sat down,

644
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 1: he was looking at Tashia like I just heard a

645
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:52,959
Speaker 1: sense of how into her he was in that moment.

646
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 1: I felt like he was staring at her like I

647
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: am not going to blow this. I'm doing this right,

648
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,439
Speaker 1: especially considering he just cried in the middle the day

649
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: about how much he wanted taste, Like his parents seem happy, like,

650
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 1: oh my god, but we're not. We're not on the

651
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 1: bachelorrete anymore. We are like in a Lifetime movie and

652
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 1: we are working some stuff out. I am so emotionally

653
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 1: invested in Zach. I don't know why, Like I the

654
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 1: amount of attractive that that man has grown, the amount

655
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 1: of like, yeah, the amount that I'm attracted to him

656
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: in a platonic sense has grown so much. Dar come on,

657
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 1: because like just we've gotten to know his personality so well,

658
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 1: and I just love like his swag and just the

659
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 1: way that they look at each other. I know we

660
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 1: talked about this a lot last week to our our listeners,

661
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 1: but there's something about that guy really really like him

662
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 1: the way the Bachelor and the Bachelorette. What it confirms

663
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: for me is that for anybody, anywhere, an attractive person

664
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 1: can become less so if their personality sucks. And a

665
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: person who you might not have looked at a second time,

666
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: if they have a great personality. Well, I yes, So Riley,

667
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: Zack and Riley do the lie detector test. I had

668
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 1: my questions, but it's fine. It was fun. It was

669
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 1: a revealing exercise. Do you think that if you cheat

670
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: in the sixth grade, you're a cheater? No? No, but

671
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: I do think it would set a lie detector off.

672
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,359
Speaker 1: So I think it was good that he admitted it.

673
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: I have to be honest. But do you think there

674
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 1: was something more? Do you think there was something more? No? Well,

675
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 1: Tassia said, and you can tell and I understand that.

676
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: You know, we all respond to like what's happened in

677
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,879
Speaker 1: our past and we like that's the lens through which

678
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: we see. Tassia said once a cheater, always a cheater,

679
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: that she believes that. I don't believe that as a thing,

680
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:50,879
Speaker 1: Like I, I don't know. It's kind of like xact

681
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,800
Speaker 1: with the sixth grade thing. I'm just saying, who didn't

682
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 1: have a moment in high school or college where you

683
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 1: were like figuring stuff out? You know, I don't know.

684
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 1: I I it really depends on what the cheating is,

685
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,359
Speaker 1: and I also and what the context of the relationship is.

686
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 1: I just don't look at it that way. Um, but

687
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: it was really really adorable that Zach owned up to

688
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: his sixth grade bolarama makeout. Yeah, I totally agree. And yeah,

689
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I'm not sure about the cheater always

690
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 1: a cheater thing. It's something that my mom always said

691
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 1: growing up. Really yeah, but I don't know. I don't know.

692
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:24,359
Speaker 1: I think it depends on your age and maturity level

693
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:25,919
Speaker 1: as well, Like you could be a totally different person

694
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: at twenty then you are at thirty, and I don't

695
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: think that you're going to have the same behaviors in

696
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 1: a relationship. But anyway, we have to take a quick

697
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: break because we have a very special guest. We have

698
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 1: the performer that performed on last night's episode, and what

699
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 1: a gorgeous voice in song that he sang. We have

700
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: the artist Adam Hambroke coming on and he I think

701
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: he's going to perform for us right here. Oh my god,

702
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,240
Speaker 1: we're getting serend a dream. I didn't expect this treat.

00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: with you. I was not aware of for you are

707
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:21,200

712
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 1: So how was it being on the show performing on

713
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:42,319
Speaker 1: the show. Um, just an intimate setting. UM, you know,

714
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 1: it's really cool. Uh, it's cool for a lot of reasons. Um. One,

715
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 1: it was really cool because my first time I'm ever

716
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 1: doing like TV, uh, like starting this artist track in

717
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 1: my career, Like I moved to Nashville to write songs,

718
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 1: and that was sort of the thing that kind of

719
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,359
Speaker 1: got me started. And then um, you know, had some

720
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 1: success there and that was sort of thing that kind

721
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 1: of lauched me into like getting to make my own

722
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 1: music and my own records. But this is the first

723
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,800
Speaker 1: time I've actually been able to take that to TV

724
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 1: and see how it translates. I was super nervous. Um,

725
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,720
Speaker 1: but because I guess because like the quarantine bubble or whatever,

726
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 1: we got to go we got to like chill for

727
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 1: a couple of days and we had to be like

728
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:22,399
Speaker 1: quarantine up and COVID test. Did you enjoy it? Did

729
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 1: you enjoy that quarantine? Because Jared and I did when

730
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 1: we were down at Laquinta. There are worse places to

731
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:32,280
Speaker 1: be hold up. I'll tell you that exactly our thoughts.

732
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:34,720
Speaker 1: It was kind of like it was a little like college.

733
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:36,919
Speaker 1: I mean, we just we drank Coors Light and played

734
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 1: PlayStation for three days in my band. It was kind

735
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 1: of awesome. That's amazing. How did you feel the chemistry

736
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 1: between Ben and Tatia was just from the little you

737
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,760
Speaker 1: got to see of their date, you know, I thought,

738
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: I mean they were just really into the evening. You'd

739
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 1: tell they were kind of like lost in each other

740
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 1: and and like whatever. And I've never like watched the show,

741
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 1: so this so be so stepping on to set that

742
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,399
Speaker 1: was my first exposure to the show period, and uh,

743
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 1: I was just like these are real people who are

744
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 1: like really all about what's going on? Like this is

745
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 1: I have a completely superficial question for you. How I

746
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 1: know how gorgeous Tasia is in person? Like how incredibly

747
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: handsome has been in person? He looks like Captain America

748
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 1: to me? What I said to like that that dude,

749
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 1: Steve Rogers, that's Captain America right there. But yeah, like

750
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 1: super nice dude too. Like we talked for a little

751
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 1: bit afterwards. Um toxication. Of course, she's just like I

752
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,359
Speaker 1: don't know, she's just like effervescing. You know, she's just

753
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: a good word. You know, that's the song in me?

754
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:46,799
Speaker 1: How did you pick what song you're gonna sing for

755
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 1: a moment like that? Um? That was that was requested

756
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 1: by bys and everything. They you know, they because I

757
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 1: haven't put a ton of music out yet, so like

758
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 1: I'm still you as an artist and that's why you

759
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 1: hadn't heard um. But you know, so they kind of

760
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 1: like look through what was out and they're like, this

761

798
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: glad that they gave him the platform to get it

799
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 1: out there. Or did you have anything else you want

800
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 1: to talk about as far as the episode? You know what?

801
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 1: I need one more opinion from you on one final

802
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:42,759
Speaker 1: thing because this is something I keep thinking about. I

803
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:47,800
Speaker 1: feel we've had these guys with these incredible emotional stories,

804
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:50,439
Speaker 1: and they've shared their struggles like maybe more than any

805
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: other season. I can't think of another Bachelorette season when

806
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 1: the men have shared on this level. And I'm a

807
00:43:56,440 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 1: big believer that, you know, we all go through things. Um,

808
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 1: and I don't believe that your partner is there to

809
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 1: fix you, you know, I and Tatious said that. She said,

810
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:07,919
Speaker 1: I'm not here to turn boys into men. I think

811
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,799
Speaker 1: that you have to come into a successful relationship is

812
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 1: about coming in, you know, with each person largely as

813
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 1: a whole. Okay, your your partners should improve and challenge you,

814
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 1: but you've got to like have it together. Which of

815
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 1: these guys do you think, given like some of the

816
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 1: struggles they've had to go through and definitely like the

817
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 1: emotional work they've had to do, do you think they're

818
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 1: already for marriage or do any of them still have

819
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: like personal stuff to work on. I don't know, who

820
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 1: do you think is the most together? I think that

821
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 1: is like the biggest question here, because I don't want

822
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:38,280
Speaker 1: to say that people who are going through things aren't

823
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 1: ready for a relationship. That is obviously not accurate. I

824
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 1: feel like all these guys probably have to do work

825
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:48,320
Speaker 1: on themselves. Constantly, as all of us do. UM, but

826
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 1: some issues are bigger, you know, than others, and some

827
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 1: problems are more recent than others. UM. And I think

828
00:44:56,840 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 1: that you know, Ben brought up support of you know,

829
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:03,400
Speaker 1: somebody close in your life and how important that is,

830
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 1: So that could be Tasia. She doesn't have to like

831
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:10,320
Speaker 1: make them better, you know, to be like their emotional doctor,

832
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:13,479
Speaker 1: but to be a support. The guy that I think

833
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 1: is most together and ready, I find I feel like

834
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:22,839
Speaker 1: it might be Zack, but I guess I all Zach

835
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 1: or Brendan. I do love Brendan. He doesn't seem to

836
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 1: have the kind of he got divorced, you know, but

837
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 1: everything else in his life seems to be kind of

838
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:37,279
Speaker 1: like positioned, positioning himself for marriage, you know, Zach kind

839
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 1: of like, here's what because like my gut instinct is Zach.

840
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:42,360
Speaker 1: But there are two things that stuck out to me

841
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,840
Speaker 1: this episode or maybe this season. One. He said not

842
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 1: too long ago that he's like just realized that he

843
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:50,399
Speaker 1: feels ready for marriage, like being on the show made

844
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 1: him realize that, which I'm like, wait, is that a

845
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 1: great thing? Or is that like too soon? I don't know?

846
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:58,720
Speaker 1: And then but him crying about making his parents, wanting

847
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 1: his parents to see him happy. Ilore, I don't know.

848
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:07,839
Speaker 1: I agree. I agree there is that that moment really

849
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 1: made me feel like Zach is like so ready to

850
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 1: get married. I feel like the other guys if they'll

851
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 1: leave this and they will have grown and like they'll

852
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 1: have prepared themselves better for that moment that comes in

853
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 1: their life. But I feel like Zach is ready for

854
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,840
Speaker 1: it now, and he'll be like the most devastated it

855
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: doesn't happen with Tasia. I wanted to ask you about it,

856
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:32,840
Speaker 1: because it really is, like I said, I think this.

857
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 1: I can't think of another season when we've seen the

858
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:40,240
Speaker 1: guys open up like this much and get this um

859
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 1: raw and and and it's kind of this thing where

860
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:48,440
Speaker 1: you think, does this mean you, you know, have worked

861
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:51,279
Speaker 1: through all your stuff? Does this mean Taste is the

862
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 1: perfect fit? And she's such a good listener I know.

863
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 1: So I'm like I racking my brain every week about

864
00:46:57,640 --> 00:46:59,359
Speaker 1: what the best fit for her is and I'm having

865
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 1: such a t I know it's gonna be hard. This

866
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 1: is going to be final ending of all. This is

867
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 1: going to be a freaking blood bath of tears. That's

868
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:13,839
Speaker 1: what I think for this season. If she does get engaged,

869
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:15,839
Speaker 1: she's going to know these guys for I'm not even

870
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:19,280
Speaker 1: sure five weeks. And that's going to make you nervous.

871
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 1: And I know that's paradise status. You know, paradise you

872
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 1: get engaged after like three and a half weeks. But

873
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:30,359
Speaker 1: with paradise you get to spend each waking moment and night.

874
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:34,759
Speaker 1: If you choose with this person in this case, you

875
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 1: know she's going to have I know, we talked about

876
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 1: Clarien Dale speeding through things, but we're still We're still

877
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:48,799
Speaker 1: going eighty miles, just crying along the way, all right, Lauren.

878
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 1: So we talked a lot about Tatia's personal life. Now

879
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 1: it's time for me to grill you on your personal life.

880
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 1: Let's go. Okay, fine, if I get to talk about

881
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 1: Tatia's I gotta be able to talk about okay, cool.

882
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 1: I mean we've all done us um. Okay, So you

883
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:07,720
Speaker 1: and Chris you did interviews before you were dating? Yes?

884
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 1: When was there was there always like a sense of attraction, flirtation,

885
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 1: chemistry between you guys? Know, like when did it turn?

886
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:21,560
Speaker 1: You know, it's so funny I I would be interviewing him.

887
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:23,879
Speaker 1: I mean I've been I've been an ETA for five

888
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 1: years this year, and the first couple of years I

889
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:31,440
Speaker 1: would be interviewing him, and my friends, like my friends

890
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 1: from home, like my college friends would actually be like,

891
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 1: is Chris Harrison as hot in person as he sits

892
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:40,520
Speaker 1: on the show, And I was like, he's fine, Dad,

893
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:43,920
Speaker 1: I don't know you were also married at that point.

894
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 1: I was married at that point. I I you know,

895
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:49,960
Speaker 1: there was no I was just I was also always

896
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:53,319
Speaker 1: so focused on doing my job, you know. I mean,

897
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:55,880
Speaker 1: Chris is a very as you know you've interviewed him.

898
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 1: He's a very good interview He really knows how as

899
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:01,880
Speaker 1: he says to like Bob, and we've also gives great

900
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 1: sound bites. So I would be so focused going into

901
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:06,400
Speaker 1: interview him, even when I was single. I would be

902
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:08,960
Speaker 1: so focused on getting a good answer that I was

903
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:12,120
Speaker 1: like not even really looking into those baby blue eyes

904
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 1: and then thinking about anything. Um. And then everything changed

905
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:18,919
Speaker 1: when I think it was at a paradise tell all,

906
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:23,279
Speaker 1: we literally ran into each other at craft services, like

907
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:25,000
Speaker 1: I was going to get coffee, he was getting tea.

908
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:27,320
Speaker 1: Because you know those tell all tapings are like nine

909
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 1: hours long, are often freezing in those warehouses, been there together.

910
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:36,520
Speaker 1: We're on a studio set where I've passed out advil

911
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 1: at those tells before to everybody because you get a

912
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 1: headache from everyone screaming at each other. Um. So we

913
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:45,399
Speaker 1: ran into each other and had what we now call

914
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:48,480
Speaker 1: like our first human conversation. It was the first time

915
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 1: we'd ever spoken outside of an interview setting, and we

916
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:55,960
Speaker 1: just kind of talked about life and like somehow, I

917
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:57,600
Speaker 1: don't remember how, but it came out very quickly that

918
00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 1: we were both single. And then I slid into his

919
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 1: d M s on Twitter and said, Hey, it was

920
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 1: so good to see you the other day, because I

921
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:08,480
Speaker 1: was sort of like, was he flirting with me? And

922
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:10,319
Speaker 1: he sort of sliding in the d M When you

923
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 1: guys are both single, it's flirting. I feel well, I

924
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:14,800
Speaker 1: couldn't tell if he was flirting with me in person,

925
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 1: so then I was like, let me flirt for real

926
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:19,880
Speaker 1: and see if you're flogged. I believe in opening the

927
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:21,839
Speaker 1: door and if somebody walks through, that's great, and if not,

928
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 1: you know, I just keep on going down the hallway. Okay.

929
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:28,440
Speaker 1: So he sent that out and how do you respond? Um.

930
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:32,040
Speaker 1: Then things got Then it became clear to me very quickly.

931
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 1: You know, it was like, let's he did a great

932
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:36,239
Speaker 1: thing which I think everyone needs to do, which is

933
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:39,400
Speaker 1: he said, hey, let's like exchange numbers and you know,

934
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:43,240
Speaker 1: get this off of the d M s UM. And

935
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:46,319
Speaker 1: he very quickly said, let's get a drink together. And

936
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:49,239
Speaker 1: again I'm like, because to me, I think it's so

937
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 1: dangerous when you keep messaging like I don't know, in

938
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:54,279
Speaker 1: dating apps and all that, like you got to make

939
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 1: it a real interaction. UM. And he's old school like that,

940
00:50:57,960 --> 00:50:59,399
Speaker 1: which I think is great. So then we just had

941
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:02,560
Speaker 1: one of these as drinks where we truly like talked

942
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:06,359
Speaker 1: for three hours and he right away like texted me, hey,

943
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:07,880
Speaker 1: it was great seeing you, and I like, when can

944
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:12,000
Speaker 1: I take you out again? And fantastic Chris. I'm so proud.

945
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 1: He's such a good data. He's really learned being Okay, Well,

946
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 1: so what did you do before your republic? You went

947
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:28,839
Speaker 1: six months hiding your relationship, as I find to be

948
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:33,600
Speaker 1: very respectable and normal, but you still did interviews with

949
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:36,719
Speaker 1: him during that six month period. How did you hide it?

950
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:39,960
Speaker 1: I did? Honestly, it was kind of fun. I don't know,

951
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:42,200
Speaker 1: it was kind of like and the reason that we

952
00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:44,719
Speaker 1: didn't go public with it, truly was because we were

953
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:46,640
Speaker 1: both just like, look, this is going well, but I

954
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:49,239
Speaker 1: don't want this to become a thing that affects you know,

955
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 1: my job or his job if it if it doesn't stick,

956
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:54,399
Speaker 1: so um, we just want to make sure we were

957
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:59,839
Speaker 1: serious before it went public. Um. And it was sort

958
00:51:59,880 --> 00:52:02,879
Speaker 1: of fun because we would be like, I'd see him

959
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:04,920
Speaker 1: in interviews and I again I was there. I'm like,

960
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 1: I gotta do my job and ask all the questions

961
00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 1: I need to ask, um, and then it would kind

962
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:12,400
Speaker 1: of be like, all right, well, I'll see. It was

963
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:15,279
Speaker 1: kind of a fun secret. Sometimes it's fun now, you know,

964
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:18,480
Speaker 1: sometimes a little Yeah, it was. We were a little like,

965
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 1: um kind of had a little fun around town. It

966
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:23,239
Speaker 1: was fun. Well, it was very fun when we were

967

Speaker 1: to who it was, and we did guess Chris and

972
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:42,920
Speaker 1: he did a great job maneuvering our thought process away

973
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:45,480
Speaker 1: from that. You didn't know, did you really believe me

Speaker 1: We went together and I woke up and I had

1015
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:12,520
Speaker 1: in my email inbox this like two page letter from him, Chris,

1016
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:17,279
Speaker 1: and it was just all about like how loving me

1017
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 1: had changed his life and how happy he was, and

1018
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:23,160
Speaker 1: I just like read it through tears. It was I

1019
00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:24,920
Speaker 1: will you know what, that was the most romantic thing,

1020
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 1: honestly because I had never had someone touched me with

1021
00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:33,719
Speaker 1: words like that before. And um, I think probably you know,

1022
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:35,920
Speaker 1: we all grew up being like you want the Princess

1023
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:37,799
Speaker 1: moments where they do these things, and it was the

1024
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:40,600
Speaker 1: most little thing for him to just write from the heart.

1025
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:42,600
Speaker 1: But I don't know, I was like, I feel like

1026
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:45,400
Speaker 1: I'm in another time where people write letters like some

1027
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:48,800
Speaker 1: pride and prejudice crap. And it was really really, really beautiful.

1028
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:52,279
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, wow, am I going to cry on

1029
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:56,000
Speaker 1: the almost famous podcast? Oh my god? Those are our

1030
00:55:56,040 --> 00:56:00,719
Speaker 1: favorite moments. I was gonna ask you, did you have

1031
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 1: expectations with this guy who's just, you know, again the

1032
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:09,120
Speaker 1: face of the franchise, like he's supposed to be romantic.

1033
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:11,520
Speaker 1: Did you assume he would be romantic and would have

1034
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 1: picked up things from the show, or did you feel like, oh,

1035
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:18,480
Speaker 1: this is just gonna be a regular guy Chris from

1036
00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:21,399
Speaker 1: the you know this from the instant you meet him,

1037
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:25,880
Speaker 1: he gives off like this classic old Hollywood energy, you know,

1038
00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:30,080
Speaker 1: he's like from Texas. He's like a man, and I

1039
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:31,960
Speaker 1: mean that in the best ways of like sort of

1040
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:36,480
Speaker 1: this old school even though he completely champions me as

1041
00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:39,680
Speaker 1: this independent career woman and he just like is my

1042
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:43,400
Speaker 1: biggest cheerleader in all those ways. He's also like, I

1043
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:45,440
Speaker 1: will make you feel taken care of in every way,

1044
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:47,759
Speaker 1: and I so I never even like, was never a

1045
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:49,799
Speaker 1: question for me. I think from that first date when

1046
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:51,840
Speaker 1: he's you know, texted me right away, Hey, are you

1047
00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:53,960
Speaker 1: home safe? I had an amazing time tonight, like and

1048
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:55,839
Speaker 1: I'd love to take you out as soon as possible. Again,

1049
00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:58,319
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, this guy's not messing around, you know.

1050
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:03,240
Speaker 1: This guy's like actually, I don't know if I've ever

1051
00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:06,880
Speaker 1: said this. There was when we first started dating. It

1052
00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:09,239
Speaker 1: was weird timing. I had gone out on a couple

1053
00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:12,280
Speaker 1: of dates with this other guy and I told Chris

1054
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:15,200
Speaker 1: right away. I was like, look, I was kind of

1055
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:18,040
Speaker 1: like dating this other guy and I don't know where,

1056
00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:19,840
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. I kind of like him

1057
00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:22,480
Speaker 1: and like I want to take this slow. And he

1058
00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:25,960
Speaker 1: said to me, okay, yeah, no, like figure that out

1059
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 1: and gone dates with whoever you want, and like when

1060
00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:33,200
Speaker 1: you and hopefully if you realize that I'm the guy

1061
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:35,520
Speaker 1: for you, I'm not dating anyone else, and I'm right here.

1062
00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:42,200
Speaker 1: And I was like, damn, damn, Chris Harris said, living

1063
00:57:42,280 --> 00:57:48,560
Speaker 1: up to all the expectations and fantasies, it's almost upsetting.

1064
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:53,680
Speaker 1: It's almost like, Okay, keep being perfect. But I love

1065
00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 1: what you said about his old Hollywood energy. He certainly

1066
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:58,520
Speaker 1: has that. You know. He's like he wears a watch

1067
00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:00,760
Speaker 1: and a suit and he's like, I'm going to do

1068
00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:03,040
Speaker 1: things right. I don't know. There's something about that. And

1069
00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:05,280
Speaker 1: it's a sexy vine. It's a Richard gear Esk kind

1070
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:07,200
Speaker 1: of a thing. Got a swag. He's got a swag,

1071
00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:10,400
Speaker 1: and he is so much more intelligent that people would

1072
00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:14,000
Speaker 1: even think. It's so much more talented, and his job

1073
00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:17,120
Speaker 1: is far more difficult than people think it is. He

1074
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 1: makes it look easy. That's how you know he's one

1075
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:21,400
Speaker 1: of the greats. You know, he really makes it look easy,

1076
00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:23,680
Speaker 1: like I always think. I kept thinking, you know that

1077
00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:25,440
Speaker 1: that moment when he was sitting down with Claire and

1078
00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:28,240
Speaker 1: Dale and he said, what's next for you guys? And

1079
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:30,680
Speaker 1: Dale started to answer and then Claire said babies and

1080
00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:34,400
Speaker 1: Dale kept talking and Chris said, oh, wait, like Dale,

1081
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:36,760
Speaker 1: she said, you know, And I just thought he such

1082
00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:39,840
Speaker 1: a good interviewer. You know, he like listens, he calls

1083
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:42,680
Speaker 1: people out in the right ways. He's great at it. Wait, now,

1084
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:44,760
Speaker 1: if you ever revealed what the most romantic thing Jared

1085
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:46,000
Speaker 1: has done for you is? Like, now, I want to

1086
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:49,720
Speaker 1: know because I love you guys together so much. Sorry,

1087
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:53,280
Speaker 1: I can't be somewhere and not interview someone. Oh it's okay,

1088
00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:58,280
Speaker 1: So I think I think the most romantic it was

1089
00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:01,200
Speaker 1: actually before we were together, but like during that year

1090
00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:06,080
Speaker 1: of complete confusion for me, in between Bade and Paradise seasons.

1091
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:08,240
Speaker 1: So it was my birthday, So the first birthday that

1092
00:59:08,280 --> 00:59:13,920
Speaker 1: we knew each other, he sent roses to my apartment

1093
00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:18,040
Speaker 1: and it's like the note said like the Corey. It

1094
00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:20,520
Speaker 1: was like sincerely, like the Corey to your topanga and

1095
00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:22,880
Speaker 1: it was like a really cute note. Oh and he

1096
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:25,960
Speaker 1: knew you'd love that, I know. And then he goes like,

1097
00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:28,600
Speaker 1: but that's not your own. This is not your only gift,

1098
00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:32,720
Speaker 1: and he's like, you'll get your your real gift later tonight.

1099
00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:36,320
Speaker 1: And that's when he like recreated the Backstreet Boys music

1100
00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:40,520
Speaker 1: video uh Me. And it was just like so funny

1101
00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:44,240
Speaker 1: because well it wasn't funny, it was romantic because I

1102
00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:46,160
Speaker 1: knew how much effort he had to put into that

1103
00:59:46,200 --> 00:59:48,280
Speaker 1: and like how he had to have his roommate follow

1104
00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:52,600
Speaker 1: him around like do all the moves and the mouth

1105
00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:55,280
Speaker 1: the words and you know, edit the whole thing together,

1106
00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:56,680
Speaker 1: and it was just like you could tell it was

1107
00:59:56,720 --> 01:00:00,600
Speaker 1: a project. It's the effort. For me, it with anything.

1108
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:02,479
Speaker 1: I'm like, whether it's you're writing a letter or giving

1109
01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:05,000
Speaker 1: someone a gift, what's the effort behind it? And what

1110
01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:07,840
Speaker 1: I love about that is that Jared did what he

1111
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:11,400
Speaker 1: knew would make it was you personal. That's always such

1112
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:13,680
Speaker 1: a difference to me in a gift. I'm like, ladies, gentlemen,

1113
01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:16,840
Speaker 1: whoever look at if someone's getting you, like an expensive

1114
01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:19,240
Speaker 1: gift or something. I mean, okay, great, but like, are

1115
01:00:19,240 --> 01:00:21,040
Speaker 1: they getting you a gift they know you will love

1116
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:22,760
Speaker 1: or they just trying to make a show of giving

1117
01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:25,840
Speaker 1: the gift. It's such a key distinction. And Corey to

1118
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:29,840
Speaker 1: Panga Backstreet Boys, Jared is always embraced and loved exactly

1119
01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:31,920
Speaker 1: who you are, which is why seeing you guys so

1120
01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:33,520
Speaker 1: happy together it makes me so happy because you know

1121
01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:38,600
Speaker 1: how real it is. Thank you Now now that you

1122
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:40,320
Speaker 1: say this, now I have to spring up something else

1123
01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:43,480
Speaker 1: he did that year. Sorry, sorry guy. The producers are

1124
01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:47,040
Speaker 1: probably like, actually, move on, move on. Um okay. So

1125
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:50,400
Speaker 1: this was a couple of months before that gesture, and

1126
01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:53,520
Speaker 1: this was when we were just starting to become honestly

1127
01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:57,040
Speaker 1: like friends because getting off the show it was weird

1128
01:00:57,120 --> 01:01:00,840
Speaker 1: because it was just weird. And then we're at that fall.

1129
01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:03,760
Speaker 1: We got close and we were like having glimpsed, like

1130
01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:07,160
Speaker 1: there were the glimmers, you know, and there were the flirtations.

1131
01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:12,640
Speaker 1: And we had gone to this club lounge thing in

1132
01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:16,440
Speaker 1: in l A with Nick JJ and one of Nick's friends,

1133
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:19,160
Speaker 1: and I was the only girl amongst the bunch, was

1134
01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:21,920
Speaker 1: like trying to fit in with the boys, right, And

1135
01:01:22,520 --> 01:01:26,600
Speaker 1: we were leaving this place, there was a like a

1136
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:33,320
Speaker 1: vendor somebody handing out single roses outside as we waited

1137
01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:36,920
Speaker 1: for Uber to come, and I joked about I was like, Jared,

1138
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:40,320
Speaker 1: you so owe me one of those roses, and he

1139
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:42,560
Speaker 1: felt really bad because he didn't have any cash on him,

1140
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:45,360
Speaker 1: so he didn't end up getting it for me. And

1141
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:49,160
Speaker 1: then a couple of days later, he said, um, like

1142
01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:52,120
Speaker 1: what's your address, or like except expect something in the mail,

1143
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:55,440
Speaker 1: because like just expect something to the mail. I'm like okay,

1144
01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:57,680
Speaker 1: And like he kept checking in like did it come?

1145
01:01:57,720 --> 01:02:00,880
Speaker 1: Did it come? And it never ended up coming. I

1146
01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:02,800
Speaker 1: was like I didn't. I still think it your special

1147
01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:07,040
Speaker 1: surprise whatever. And then he wrote me this long monol

1148
01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:09,840
Speaker 1: like monologue. I call it a monologue. It wasn't read.

1149
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:15,200
Speaker 1: It was a long text and so theatrical. I love it,

1150
01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:19,960
Speaker 1: and in it it said like so many sweet sweet things,

1151
01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:22,640
Speaker 1: and but the bottom line of it was I sent you.

1152
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:25,560
Speaker 1: The surprise gift was I sent you a dozen roses

1153
01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:28,439
Speaker 1: because I really wanted to buy you that rose that night.

1154
01:02:28,520 --> 01:02:31,720
Speaker 1: But you deserve more than just a rose. You deserve

1155
01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:33,960
Speaker 1: more than a dozen roses. Blah blah blah blah. And

1156
01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:36,440
Speaker 1: I was like, so everybody who thought I was wild

1157
01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:39,600
Speaker 1: on paradise like stick our second go around, Like now

1158

Speaker 1: understands the thing is, you know, as you guys are

1159
01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:48,400
Speaker 1: the story. It took a minute, but then once it happened,

1160
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:51,480
Speaker 1: it happened. And as we stay on TikTok one of

1161
01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:55,960
Speaker 1: my favorite TikTok sounds. If he wanted to he would yeah,

1162
01:02:56,280 --> 01:03:00,760
Speaker 1: and Jared did yeah, yes, yes, all right, now it's

1163
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:03,960
Speaker 1: time to talk about other members of Bachelor Nation besides ourselves.

1164
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:06,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call you an honorary Bachelor Nation member. Do

1165

Speaker 1: what else I would be, so yes, I will say

1167
01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:14,120

1170
01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:20,840
Speaker 1: quick Google, you'll see that's the case. I think there

1171
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:22,960
Speaker 1: are a couple of friends of the show that feel

1172
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:25,600
Speaker 1: that way, you know. I feel like Matt James was

1173
01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:27,600
Speaker 1: before he was actually on the show. I feel like

1174
01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:31,600

1216
01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:57,560
Speaker 1: headline this week is Tasia Adams waited to have sex

1217
01:05:57,640 --> 01:06:01,480
Speaker 1: before her first marriage. She said this is She says

1218
01:06:01,520 --> 01:06:04,000
Speaker 1: she's not gonna do it again. She says, this is

1219
01:06:04,080 --> 01:06:08,000
Speaker 1: something that you have to explore. No, I actually think

1220
01:06:08,040 --> 01:06:12,120
Speaker 1: this is interesting because I mean, you know people. I

1221
01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:15,960
Speaker 1: mean like there's there's me, there's so many, There's Maddie

1222
01:06:16,240 --> 01:06:19,120
Speaker 1: and then there's Colton, who whose season she was on.

1223
01:06:19,480 --> 01:06:22,960
Speaker 1: And it's interesting that this didn't come up during Colton's season.

1224
01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:26,960
Speaker 1: She never said, you know, I get waiting. I waited

1225
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:29,400
Speaker 1: for my first marriage. Actually her first marriage was to

1226
01:06:29,480 --> 01:06:34,200
Speaker 1: her first boyfriend too, so that is such a good point. Wow,

1227
01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:35,960
Speaker 1: that really would have been something for them to connect on.

1228
01:06:36,120 --> 01:06:39,560
Speaker 1: I know, I know. But she does say now that

1229
01:06:40,520 --> 01:06:42,320
Speaker 1: she's she's not gonna do it again. She thinks that

1230
01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:45,120
Speaker 1: that kind of intimacy is something that you should explore

1231
01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:50,880
Speaker 1: before locking it down. I agree. But how do you

1232
01:06:50,920 --> 01:06:59,920
Speaker 1: feel I respected both decisions? Uh? Yeah, Like, if you

1233
01:07:00,080 --> 01:07:04,160
Speaker 1: want to wait, I think you should wait. Um, but

1234
01:07:04,200 --> 01:07:09,160
Speaker 1: if you don't, I think that it's Honestly, I think

1235
01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:11,240
Speaker 1: it depends on the person. I think it depends on

1236
01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:14,680
Speaker 1: how important that is to you, And like obviously if

1237
01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:17,439
Speaker 1: you're waiting, you don't even know how important it would

1238
01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:21,280
Speaker 1: be to you. Totally depends on the person. I also

1239
01:07:21,440 --> 01:07:24,600
Speaker 1: think it depends on the life place during the age

1240
01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:29,600
Speaker 1: you're at. Honestly, totally, I totally, I completely see how Um.

1241
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:32,000
Speaker 1: I think there's something about often when you at least

1242
01:07:32,040 --> 01:07:33,640
Speaker 1: with what I've seen from my friends because I grew

1243
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:35,000
Speaker 1: up in the Midwest and a lot of people I

1244
01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:39,200
Speaker 1: know got married younger, like, including myself, um now divorced,

1245
01:07:39,280 --> 01:07:43,560
Speaker 1: but it's fine. Um So I think that when you

1246
01:07:43,640 --> 01:07:46,240
Speaker 1: get married younger, like, you can in many ways sort

1247
01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:49,120
Speaker 1: of like grow up with that person and that can

1248
01:07:49,160 --> 01:07:52,120
Speaker 1: really work. Or you know, sometimes you grow apart and

1249
01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:53,960
Speaker 1: you're like, oh wait, we didn't know who we were yet.

1250
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:57,440
Speaker 1: But I completely understand when if you get married really young,

1251
01:07:57,600 --> 01:08:00,080
Speaker 1: especially like and that's an important conviction to you, it

1252
01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:01,800
Speaker 1: that can work out great and it can be fine,

1253
01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:03,840
Speaker 1: and it can be something really special and beautiful that

1254
01:08:03,880 --> 01:08:08,240
Speaker 1: you share with that person. I do know a couple

1255
01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:11,440
Speaker 1: of people who are like truly in their thirties and

1256
01:08:11,560 --> 01:08:14,200
Speaker 1: like still waiting, and I'm like, you might want to

1257
01:08:14,360 --> 01:08:18,799
Speaker 1: just yeah dive. In My take on this is that

1258
01:08:19,720 --> 01:08:22,400
Speaker 1: it's totally up to the person, and it's totally up

1259
01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:26,080
Speaker 1: to the person's beliefs. If you want to wait, fantastic.

1260
01:08:26,120 --> 01:08:28,720
Speaker 1: If you don't want to wait, I'm cool with that too.

1261
01:08:28,760 --> 01:08:31,040
Speaker 1: It doesn't even matter what I think. It matters what

1262
01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:34,759
Speaker 1: you think and how you want to live your life

1263
01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:39,760
Speaker 1: and go through your relationship. So right now, Tasia does

1264
01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:45,080
Speaker 1: not want to wait to have sex until after marriage. Again, well,

1265
01:08:45,120 --> 01:08:47,800
Speaker 1: maybe she's learned from her first experience that for her,

1266
01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:51,879
Speaker 1: it's something she needs to know about. She's like, I, I, actually,

1267
01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:53,800
Speaker 1: I've realized this is really important to me, and I've

1268
01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:56,360
Speaker 1: got to have that level of intimacy to know. I

1269
01:08:56,439 --> 01:08:58,559
Speaker 1: understand that when you've been divorced, you're like, wait, I

1270
01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:00,920
Speaker 1: really I really really want to make sure I'm good

1271
01:09:00,920 --> 01:09:03,120
Speaker 1: before I get married again. Like that's something you go

1272
01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:05,599
Speaker 1: into relationships with. I think, like we saw on that

1273
01:09:05,840 --> 01:09:07,639
Speaker 1: wedding dress date with her and Zach, you could tell

1274
01:09:07,680 --> 01:09:10,479
Speaker 1: she was like, this is triggering for me, this is

1275
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:12,760
Speaker 1: furious for me. So I think it's it seems to

1276
01:09:12,760 --> 01:09:15,240
Speaker 1: be about that she like takes marriage very seriously and

1277
01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:18,280
Speaker 1: wants to really feel good about the person in every

1278
01:09:18,280 --> 01:09:21,000
Speaker 1: respect before she would get married again. Yeah, I alwayusly

1279
01:09:21,080 --> 01:09:24,400
Speaker 1: got Jessica Simpson and how she waited with Nicholas and

1280
01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:27,559
Speaker 1: then like afterward she was like, I wouldn't do that again,

1281
01:09:27,600 --> 01:09:31,120
Speaker 1: and she was she was taking up being John Mayer's

1282
01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:35,200
Speaker 1: sexual napom and all that kind of Hollywood interview. And

1283
01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:40,920
Speaker 1: I Our next headline is the release of Matt James

1284
01:09:41,120 --> 01:09:46,280
Speaker 1: Is Season press release. Okay, so in this press release

1285
01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:48,040
Speaker 1: I'm going through there's a couple of things that are

1286
01:09:48,080 --> 01:09:52,400
Speaker 1: worthy of noting. For you guys. There are thirty two

1287
01:09:52,479 --> 01:09:56,080
Speaker 1: girls that come out the limo on night one, and

1288
01:09:56,560 --> 01:09:59,559
Speaker 1: that seems to becoming more of the norm that we're

1289
01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:03,920
Speaker 1: getting an number around thirty. Now it looks as if

1290
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:08,680
Speaker 1: he eliminates it down to twenty four women at that

1291
01:10:08,760 --> 01:10:11,320
Speaker 1: first Rose ceremony on night one, So that was a

1292
01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:16,040
Speaker 1: big chunk. Eight girls out. Bye, that's rough. I feel

1293
01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:18,040
Speaker 1: bad for them. What do you think of his tagline?

1294
01:10:18,439 --> 01:10:21,400
Speaker 1: That was? I think that was the next thing I

1295
01:10:21,439 --> 01:10:24,360
Speaker 1: wanted to talk about that I am not down, so

1296
01:10:24,360 --> 01:10:27,920
Speaker 1: that you're not you guys, the tag line for this

1297
01:10:27,960 --> 01:10:31,800
Speaker 1: season is a Matt made in Heaven. I mean, I

1298
01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:34,840
Speaker 1: get that we try to be punny, but a Matt

1299
01:10:35,280 --> 01:10:38,880
Speaker 1: made in heaven. A Matt I mean, oh oh no,

1300
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:41,479
Speaker 1: I'm getting Oh my god, wait, where you not getting it?

1301
01:10:42,160 --> 01:10:43,960
Speaker 1: Oh my god? Okay, no, I was getting like a

1302
01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:45,920
Speaker 1: match made in heaven. Okay, right, So I was getting

1303
01:10:45,920 --> 01:10:47,600
Speaker 1: a match made in heaven, and then I was like

1304
01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:50,439
Speaker 1: a Matt as in heat. See when I think of

1305
01:10:50,479 --> 01:10:55,639
Speaker 1: the word Matt in that sentence, thinking of like a carpet,

1306
01:10:56,280 --> 01:10:59,639
Speaker 1: like a bath, like a bath mat. Oh my God,

1307
01:10:59,640 --> 01:11:02,120
Speaker 1: I can't that was going to be on his poster,

1308
01:11:02,400 --> 01:11:05,840
Speaker 1: A Matt made in Heaven. Okay, yeah, okay, because he

1309
01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:08,400
Speaker 1: is like, he looks like he's made in heaven. Oh

1310
01:11:08,439 --> 01:11:14,760
Speaker 1: my god. Wow, talk about being slow today maybe every day. Wow,

1311
01:11:14,800 --> 01:11:17,760
Speaker 1: I'm so embarrassed. Now it all makes sense. I'm like

1312
01:11:17,760 --> 01:11:20,680
Speaker 1: a Matt made in like speaking of Jessica Simpson was

1313
01:11:20,720 --> 01:11:24,840
Speaker 1: this year. This is it. I was here for it.

1314
01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:28,240
Speaker 1: I feel honored. Oh my goodness. Okay, well there you go.

1315
01:11:28,479 --> 01:11:30,600
Speaker 1: All right, So now how do you feel about a

1316
01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:33,080
Speaker 1: mat made in happen? Now? I think it's cute because

1317
01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:36,280
Speaker 1: I met Matt and I think that he had he

1318
01:11:36,320 --> 01:11:40,480
Speaker 1: has made in heaven. I think he's a fantastic, fantastic

1319
01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:44,519
Speaker 1: choices bachelor. Love his vibes. He's like six eight I entered.

1320
01:11:44,560 --> 01:11:48,360
Speaker 1: So what's weird is I interviewed him literally before it

1321
01:11:48,439 --> 01:11:50,040
Speaker 1: might have been the day before it was supposed to

1322
01:11:50,080 --> 01:11:52,519
Speaker 1: be Claire's Night one, when it was like, you know,

1323
01:11:52,600 --> 01:11:54,320
Speaker 1: that weird week in March. He was like, oh my god,

1324
01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:56,920
Speaker 1: is everything shutting down? So entertainment tonight. We go and

1325
01:11:56,960 --> 01:11:59,960
Speaker 1: do interviews on the set at different points during the season,

1326
01:12:00,240 --> 01:12:03,080
Speaker 1: and I interviewed Matt like as a contestant on clear scene,

1327
01:12:03,680 --> 01:12:06,800
Speaker 1: that's right because you have yeah, yeah that so like

1328
01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:09,040
Speaker 1: clips from the video or up on my Instagram. Still,

1329
01:12:09,080 --> 01:12:10,840
Speaker 1: it's so weird now because I actually asked him in

1330
01:12:10,840 --> 01:12:12,400
Speaker 1: the interview, which well, if it doesn't work, how clear

1331
01:12:12,439 --> 01:12:16,760
Speaker 1: would you have to be the Bachelor? But like how

1332
01:12:16,760 --> 01:12:19,720
Speaker 1: did he say it? I think he said, you know,

1333
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:21,840
Speaker 1: a solid answer, which is like, look, I hope it

1334
01:12:21,880 --> 01:12:24,240
Speaker 1: works out with Claire. I mean, she seems amazing. So

1335
01:12:24,720 --> 01:12:26,639
Speaker 1: he's very but I had never met him or talked

1336
01:12:26,640 --> 01:12:29,160
Speaker 1: to him before. I just heard about him through Tyler obviously,

1337
01:12:29,240 --> 01:12:32,080
Speaker 1: and he um, he was he had great answers for

1338
01:12:32,120 --> 01:12:33,920
Speaker 1: things like he was a great interview. It made me

1339
01:12:33,960 --> 01:12:38,040
Speaker 1: feel really confident about him as the Bachelor. Um and

1340
01:12:38,720 --> 01:12:41,760
Speaker 1: I love the tagline because I do think I think

1341
01:12:42,320 --> 01:12:45,320
Speaker 1: the Bachelor nation has gotten to know him through Tyler,

1342
01:12:45,800 --> 01:12:47,960
Speaker 1: and I feel like people look at him is like

1343
01:12:48,120 --> 01:12:50,280
Speaker 1: this great guy, Like I mean, we're gonna watch the

1344
01:12:50,280 --> 01:12:51,960
Speaker 1: whole season unfold, but right now, I think people look

1345
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:55,120
Speaker 1: at him and they're like, he seems like awesome, just

1346
01:12:55,720 --> 01:12:59,280
Speaker 1: you know, he seems like making me way. He's way

1347
01:12:59,320 --> 01:13:02,000
Speaker 1: swoonier and of life, and he was in the quarantine house.

1348
01:13:02,600 --> 01:13:06,160
Speaker 1: He was like a bro in the quarantine house. Oh yeah,

1349
01:13:06,439 --> 01:13:10,320
Speaker 1: the quarantine crew, Tyler and all them like dancing in

1350
01:13:10,360 --> 01:13:13,680
Speaker 1: the yard. Yeah. I think it helps to have I

1351
01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:15,400
Speaker 1: mean this promo when you put a suit on a

1352
01:13:15,400 --> 01:13:17,479
Speaker 1: man and he's like tugging at the tie like that.

1353
01:13:17,560 --> 01:13:20,320
Speaker 1: It's a lot of great visuals. He looks great, great

1354
01:13:20,760 --> 01:13:23,320
Speaker 1: great photo. And also I want to go back to

1355
01:13:23,320 --> 01:13:25,560
Speaker 1: the thirty two girls. Actually this is the first is

1356
01:13:25,600 --> 01:13:28,519
Speaker 1: a record breaking year. Thirty two never had that many

1357
01:13:28,520 --> 01:13:32,160
Speaker 1: on opening night. But it doesn't seem like, oh it's

1358
01:13:32,600 --> 01:13:35,080
Speaker 1: twenty four, continue on, so I feel like that is

1359
01:13:35,080 --> 01:13:41,840
Speaker 1: a pretty normal number. Okay, So our next headline is

1360
01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:45,559
Speaker 1: Beca Martinez thinks that Claire Curly and Dale Moss were

1361
01:13:45,600 --> 01:13:49,240
Speaker 1: almost coursed into getting engaged. She thinks that there was

1362
01:13:49,479 --> 01:13:53,200
Speaker 1: too much pressure on them. She says, quote, I would

1363
01:13:53,280 --> 01:13:55,599
Speaker 1: not be happy if I were her. It just felt

1364
01:13:55,640 --> 01:13:59,080
Speaker 1: like there was a lot of spinning of what happened

1365
01:13:59,080 --> 01:14:01,240
Speaker 1: to make her lee you. I mean, it was just

1366
01:14:01,320 --> 01:14:04,040
Speaker 1: so obvious as a viewer at the very end that

1367
01:14:04,120 --> 01:14:06,960
Speaker 1: the two of them were almost coerced into getting engaged.

1368
01:14:07,120 --> 01:14:09,000
Speaker 1: It seems like they really love each other, but that

1369
01:14:09,080 --> 01:14:11,400
Speaker 1: was bizarre, and I would be upset as a lead

1370
01:14:11,479 --> 01:14:14,439
Speaker 1: to be pretty piste off because you you sort of

1371
01:14:14,439 --> 01:14:16,800
Speaker 1: shortened me a season that was supposed to be mine.

1372
01:14:17,160 --> 01:14:18,120
Speaker 1: But you know, at the end of the day, I

1373
01:14:18,120 --> 01:14:19,640
Speaker 1: have to give it to Claire because she seems like

1374
01:14:19,720 --> 01:14:21,720
Speaker 1: she was really there for the right reasons. What do

1375
01:14:21,720 --> 01:14:24,160
Speaker 1: you think about that? I don't I don't know. I

1376
01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:30,000
Speaker 1: know that there are telling people to be upset. I'm like,

1377
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:32,760
Speaker 1: like her saying, if I were her, I'd I'd be

1378
01:14:32,800 --> 01:14:34,280
Speaker 1: pissed or what it was the other thing she said,

1379
01:14:34,280 --> 01:14:37,000
Speaker 1: if I were her, I wouldn't be happy like Claire's happy.

1380
01:14:37,120 --> 01:14:39,320
Speaker 1: I mean, if there's one thing we've heard from Claire herself,

1381
01:14:39,479 --> 01:14:42,720
Speaker 1: it's that she's super in love, super happy. Dale is

1382
01:14:42,760 --> 01:14:44,760
Speaker 1: her person and I quote Dale and her met on

1383
01:14:44,800 --> 01:14:47,080
Speaker 1: another realm, in another life. He is the guy for

1384
01:14:47,120 --> 01:14:49,960
Speaker 1: her and she has found everything she wants. So I'm like,

1385
01:14:50,720 --> 01:14:52,760
Speaker 1: why are we telling her to not Why are we

1386
01:14:52,760 --> 01:14:56,000
Speaker 1: telling her to be frustrated when she's so happy? And

1387
01:14:56,040 --> 01:14:57,960
Speaker 1: in addition to that, like I know that there were

1388
01:14:58,080 --> 01:15:01,280
Speaker 1: rumors about like her them, you know, like the way

1389
01:15:01,280 --> 01:15:03,200
Speaker 1: that she was like forced out of being the Bachelor

1390
01:15:03,200 --> 01:15:08,120
Speaker 1: writer whatnot but watching that episode, that final episode, there

1391
01:15:08,200 --> 01:15:11,479
Speaker 1: is nothing that makes me think that she just seemed

1392
01:15:11,520 --> 01:15:13,760
Speaker 1: like she wanted to get out of there with Dale,

1393
01:15:14,520 --> 01:15:18,639
Speaker 1: no other factors. She said that herself, and I think

1394
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:21,200
Speaker 1: the lines that always stuck out to me actually from

1395
01:15:21,240 --> 01:15:22,960
Speaker 1: what she said, even more than when she was saying

1396
01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:25,320
Speaker 1: I just want to be with you know, we start

1397
01:15:25,400 --> 01:15:27,160
Speaker 1: saying I just want to be with Dale, you know.

1398
01:15:27,800 --> 01:15:31,880
Speaker 1: But then when Chris, Chris asked her something about the

1399
01:15:31,960 --> 01:15:34,640
Speaker 1: next step is a or do you want a proposal?

1400
01:15:34,920 --> 01:15:37,840
Speaker 1: And I think she said, that's the dumbest question you've

1401
01:15:37,840 --> 01:15:41,040
Speaker 1: ever asked me? Yes, And I just thought, Okay, yeah,

1402
01:15:41,080 --> 01:15:44,200
Speaker 1: she's she's she's thinking, how could anyone think I don't

1403
01:15:44,200 --> 01:15:47,600
Speaker 1: want this? I don't know, so I don't know. You know.

1404
01:15:47,640 --> 01:15:49,880
Speaker 1: Claire said many times she was at the age where

1405
01:15:49,920 --> 01:15:52,439
Speaker 1: she knew exactly what she wanted and she was tired

1406
01:15:52,439 --> 01:15:55,439
Speaker 1: of waiting. So Claire seems happy, and I said, go

1407
01:15:55,560 --> 01:15:58,080
Speaker 1: be happy, Claire and I have I don't like telling

1408
01:15:58,120 --> 01:16:01,800
Speaker 1: people to be unhappy. Well, we got some happy news here.

1409
01:16:01,960 --> 01:16:05,960
Speaker 1: Chris Lane and Lauren Bushnell are expecting their first child.

1410
01:16:06,800 --> 01:16:11,400
Speaker 1: She talked on Instagram about how absolutely thrilled they are.

1411
01:16:11,560 --> 01:16:14,719
Speaker 1: She says a dream, except I'm not dreaming, I'm wide

Speaker 1: in and a baby is always a blessing. And I

1422
01:16:53,880 --> 01:16:57,800
Speaker 1: just feel like Lauren has um I don't know she's

1423
01:16:57,880 --> 01:17:02,479
Speaker 1: she's just really I think found like her and Christine

1424
01:17:02,640 --> 01:17:04,040
Speaker 1: have so much fun together. I feel like you can

1425
01:17:04,080 --> 01:17:07,960
Speaker 1: see that on Instagram, and um, I don't it seems

1426
01:17:07,960 --> 01:17:09,800
Speaker 1: like they're just really building this beautiful life together. I

1427
01:17:09,840 --> 01:17:12,360
Speaker 1: don't have to say about them like this is great. Great.

1428
01:17:12,800 --> 01:17:15,960
Speaker 1: She was open a couple of months ago about like

1429
01:17:16,080 --> 01:17:18,560
Speaker 1: their struggles to have a child, like I don't we

1430
01:17:18,560 --> 01:17:21,120
Speaker 1: don't know how long they were trying, but you know,

1431
01:17:21,160 --> 01:17:23,200
Speaker 1: it just seemed to not be as easy as she

1432
01:17:23,320 --> 01:17:25,400
Speaker 1: was hoping for it to be. So we're really happy

1433
01:17:25,520 --> 01:17:29,160
Speaker 1: to hear that she's pregnant, and you know she's she's

1434
01:17:29,160 --> 01:17:31,960
Speaker 1: pretty pretty far along to be comfortable enough to talk

1435
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:37,880
Speaker 1: about it. All right. Yeah, so another baby news Chris.

1436
01:17:38,080 --> 01:17:40,360
Speaker 1: Crystal Neilsen says it was scary finding out she was

1437
01:17:40,400 --> 01:17:46,720
Speaker 1: pregnant while she was still legally married to Chris. Uh.

1438
01:17:46,840 --> 01:17:52,240
Speaker 1: Nothing more really to collaborate here, but but that is, um,

1439
01:17:52,439 --> 01:17:56,120
Speaker 1: that's some stressful stuff right there, right. I mean the

1440
01:17:56,520 --> 01:17:58,720
Speaker 1: time thing and all this stuff about them coming out

1441
01:17:58,720 --> 01:18:00,760
Speaker 1: too has been crazy, right because I think it was

1442
01:18:00,840 --> 01:18:05,160
Speaker 1: like Chris ran done and just come back on Instagram

1443
01:18:05,200 --> 01:18:08,439
Speaker 1: and like a matter of hours later, Crystal announced she

1444
01:18:08,520 --> 01:18:10,479
Speaker 1: was pregnant, which it very much seemed like she'd been

1445
01:18:10,720 --> 01:18:12,280
Speaker 1: working on that announcement for a while because she had

1446
01:18:12,320 --> 01:18:14,240
Speaker 1: a whole video to go and ready to go and everything.

1447
01:18:14,280 --> 01:18:17,080
Speaker 1: I was just like this like that. I don't know,

1448
01:18:17,240 --> 01:18:19,679
Speaker 1: I was. It's a lot to process. I know, it's

1449
01:18:20,000 --> 01:18:22,000
Speaker 1: the way it's played out publicly has made it like

1450
01:18:22,600 --> 01:18:25,519
Speaker 1: it's sort of it's a lot to process. It's just

1451
01:18:25,680 --> 01:18:27,960
Speaker 1: hard because you want to be happy for her, and

1452
01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:30,920
Speaker 1: you are happy for her, but like you're also sad

1453
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:33,160
Speaker 1: for him, and he just like it keeps, he just

1454
01:18:33,240 --> 01:18:35,640
Speaker 1: keeps getting hit down, you know, just like with the

1455
01:18:35,640 --> 01:18:37,559
Speaker 1: first of the boyfriend and then the baby news is

1456
01:18:37,600 --> 01:18:39,679
Speaker 1: just like a guy I can't come up for air.

1457
01:18:39,800 --> 01:18:45,160
Speaker 1: So you know, yeah, I know, I I wish them

1458
01:18:45,200 --> 01:18:47,160
Speaker 1: both the best. I think I entered. I did like

1459
01:18:47,200 --> 01:18:49,400
Speaker 1: a big interview with them once, and they had talked

1460
01:18:49,400 --> 01:18:52,439
Speaker 1: about Crystal and Chris about how they've been like literally

1461
01:18:52,479 --> 01:18:55,880
Speaker 1: two couples like days long couples retreats together to do

1462
01:18:56,040 --> 01:18:59,040
Speaker 1: very deep there because he has heard about these Yes,

1463
01:18:59,160 --> 01:19:02,880
Speaker 1: so I think that I'm just like whatever, you know,

1464
01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:04,920
Speaker 1: they've both been through a lot in their lives and

1465
01:19:05,120 --> 01:19:08,400
Speaker 1: whatever you guys, like if you found happiness, like cling

1466
01:19:08,479 --> 01:19:09,920
Speaker 1: on to that. You know. I hope that Chris ran

1467
01:19:09,960 --> 01:19:14,360
Speaker 1: don't find somebody to me too. From one Bachelor divorce

1468
01:19:14,479 --> 01:19:19,400
Speaker 1: to the longest Bachelor marriage, Trista and Ryan Sutter celebrated

1469
01:19:19,439 --> 01:19:24,320
Speaker 1: seventeen years of marriage this week. That's incredible, canfully the

1470
01:19:24,320 --> 01:19:27,200
Speaker 1: show has got on for seventeen plus years and it's

1471
01:19:27,280 --> 01:19:30,559
Speaker 1: so cool to have a success story. Like there's like

1472
01:19:30,600 --> 01:19:32,519
Speaker 1: and then what a horrible time though, I feel so

1473
01:19:32,560 --> 01:19:36,599
Speaker 1: bad he's continuing to battle this mystery illness. They don't

1474
01:19:36,640 --> 01:19:41,240
Speaker 1: know what is what's going on with with poor Ryan. Um,

1475
01:19:41,240 --> 01:19:45,679
Speaker 1: but this is a truly in sickness and health moment.

1476
01:19:45,800 --> 01:19:47,759
Speaker 1: And I know that they've been like tons of people

1477
01:19:47,760 --> 01:19:50,320
Speaker 1: have been offering them potential solutions, and I think that

1478
01:19:50,400 --> 01:19:52,960
Speaker 1: in itself is probably stressful, like trying to field it

1479
01:19:53,040 --> 01:19:58,800
Speaker 1: all and and um, they are just you know, they're

1480
01:19:58,840 --> 01:20:01,879
Speaker 1: one of those couples that I think did the brilliant

1481
01:20:01,920 --> 01:20:04,400
Speaker 1: thing right where they said, like, we're going to embrace

1482
01:20:04,439 --> 01:20:06,200
Speaker 1: and love the way we met. We loved the show,

1483
01:20:06,280 --> 01:20:08,160
Speaker 1: like we love all the opportunities from it, but we're

1484
01:20:08,160 --> 01:20:10,240
Speaker 1: also going to like go live a normal life together.

1485
01:20:10,479 --> 01:20:14,240
Speaker 1: And they really have. You know, they take their kids

1486
01:20:14,240 --> 01:20:16,800
Speaker 1: to hockey practice and he's a firefighter and they are

1487
01:20:16,960 --> 01:20:21,479
Speaker 1: they've just like have I think, really found success in

1488
01:20:21,560 --> 01:20:25,920
Speaker 1: like building that real real life together. They're they're the

1489
01:20:25,920 --> 01:20:27,800
Speaker 1: gold standard of that for me. No, I love it.

1490
01:20:28,479 --> 01:20:31,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest, guys, don't have a transition from

1491
01:20:31,080 --> 01:20:35,360
Speaker 1: a seventeen year old marriage to Tyler Cameron's new merch

1492
01:20:35,520 --> 01:20:43,200
Speaker 1: line of sweatshirts covered with a shirtless photo of him. Yeah,

1493
01:20:43,280 --> 01:20:46,320
Speaker 1: so this was gonna be weird. I'm going to be honest.

1494
01:20:46,400 --> 01:20:51,760
Speaker 1: I'm super nice to everyone usually, right this merch line.

1495
01:20:51,840 --> 01:20:57,640
Speaker 1: Don't really like it. I I think it's weird. I

1496
01:20:57,680 --> 01:21:00,160
Speaker 1: wouldn't wear it. I will say that I don't. I

1497
01:21:00,160 --> 01:21:02,960
Speaker 1: don't think I would wear it. Um. I think I'm

1498
01:21:02,960 --> 01:21:05,879
Speaker 1: looking at his instagram now. The first it's very interesting

1499
01:21:05,920 --> 01:21:09,200
Speaker 1: to see someone wear themselves on a shirt. It's not

1500
01:21:09,240 --> 01:21:11,559
Speaker 1: something you just like see very often exactly. It's a

1501
01:21:11,560 --> 01:21:14,400
Speaker 1: little self indulgent for me. I think all social media

1502
01:21:14,439 --> 01:21:16,439
Speaker 1: is self indulgent. All of us are kind of like,

1503
01:21:16,479 --> 01:21:18,280
Speaker 1: look at my life, Look what I'm doing, Look how

1504
01:21:18,280 --> 01:21:21,640
Speaker 1: pretty I am, and all that stuff. But it crosses

1505
01:21:21,680 --> 01:21:25,479
Speaker 1: the line when you take the shirtless photo of yourself

1506
01:21:25,760 --> 01:21:29,519
Speaker 1: and then you wear it. Well, the second photo, he's

1507
01:21:29,560 --> 01:21:32,519
Speaker 1: totally naked. He's just holding a pie over his area

1508
01:21:32,960 --> 01:21:36,400
Speaker 1: on the second sweatshirt, and then Matt James is like,

1509
01:21:37,320 --> 01:21:43,120
Speaker 1: photo you wow, maybe it's a pizza. I can't really tell. Um. Yeah,

1510
01:21:43,320 --> 01:21:46,719
Speaker 1: I you know what. On the one hand, know your brand,

1511
01:21:46,880 --> 01:21:50,400
Speaker 1: do what works for you? Certainly on brand um the

1512
01:21:50,400 --> 01:21:54,320
Speaker 1: shirtless stuff, yes, and uh, and I'll be interested to

1513
01:21:54,400 --> 01:21:57,360
Speaker 1: see what happens. They also it's such it's a lot

1514
01:21:57,400 --> 01:21:59,439
Speaker 1: to take in because also in this merch line is

1515
01:22:00,040 --> 01:22:03,559
Speaker 1: names Cameron one like as if it's like their president

1516
01:22:03,640 --> 01:22:10,160
Speaker 1: and vice president like ticket together, And I'm like, I

1517
01:22:10,160 --> 01:22:13,799
Speaker 1: don't know, you know, I would not vote for Tyler

1518
01:22:13,800 --> 01:22:16,080
Speaker 1: and Matt for president vice president all my love, but

1519
01:22:16,120 --> 01:22:19,559
Speaker 1: I would not, And I don't think I would wear

1520
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:24,160
Speaker 1: shirtless Tyler Cameron sweatshirt. But I do wish him the

1521
01:22:24,240 --> 01:22:27,960
Speaker 1: best with the product. Now see, there there might be

1522
01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:30,920
Speaker 1: an audience for this. I understand that you. I think

1523
01:22:30,920 --> 01:22:33,640
Speaker 1: it's not us. That's not us. Um. I think that

1524
01:22:33,720 --> 01:22:39,040
Speaker 1: a lot of girls do want a shirtless selfish I

1525
01:22:39,080 --> 01:22:42,360
Speaker 1: think that a lot of girls do want a shirtless

1526
01:22:42,400 --> 01:22:47,840
Speaker 1: photo of Tyler on their chest on their sweatshirt. But

1527
01:22:48,080 --> 01:22:49,720
Speaker 1: I also don't know if I love the fact that

1528
01:22:49,760 --> 01:22:52,519
Speaker 1: he's like pulling Matt in on all of this, Like

1529
01:22:52,600 --> 01:22:55,280
Speaker 1: it's kind of like he's trying to tag along with

1530
01:22:55,439 --> 01:23:00,000
Speaker 1: his bachelor Matt. But I know that Matt could even

1531
01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:04,040
Speaker 1: about Yeah, yeah, you know you're tag team in it. Okay,

1532
01:23:04,160 --> 01:23:05,680
Speaker 1: I think you're right. This goes back to what you

1533
01:23:05,680 --> 01:23:08,600
Speaker 1: and I were talking about earlier, like how far do

1534
01:23:08,720 --> 01:23:10,800
Speaker 1: we go with like saying that we find the guys

1535
01:23:10,800 --> 01:23:13,800
Speaker 1: of the franchise attractive or whatever. If you want to

1536
01:23:13,800 --> 01:23:16,360
Speaker 1: wear Tyler Camera shirtless on your body, great, Tyler is

1537
01:23:16,400 --> 01:23:18,719
Speaker 1: a hot guy. I will not be wearing a photo

1538
01:23:18,720 --> 01:23:23,439
Speaker 1: of Tyler Camera shirtless on my first agreed. Okay, so

1539
01:23:23,479 --> 01:23:25,559
Speaker 1: we have two emails that we want to hit before

1540
01:23:25,600 --> 01:23:27,800
Speaker 1: we wrap up. Lauren, Lauren, thank you for dedicating so

1541
01:23:27,880 --> 01:23:30,840
Speaker 1: much time to this today. Really really thank you for

1542
01:23:32,080 --> 01:23:34,120
Speaker 1: our first emails. From Cora, she said, this is a

1543
01:23:34,160 --> 01:23:36,760
Speaker 1: response to your feelings about Ben getting naked on the date.

1544
01:23:36,800 --> 01:23:38,880
Speaker 1: I think that at first it seems a little weird

1545
01:23:38,880 --> 01:23:42,280
Speaker 1: because we don't know how how this is letting him

1546
01:23:42,640 --> 01:23:44,960
Speaker 1: this is him letting his guard down. But when we

1547
01:23:45,040 --> 01:23:46,960
Speaker 1: learn about his eating disorder, I think it all came

1548
01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:49,559
Speaker 1: together and it made sense for me. He had the

1549
01:23:49,600 --> 01:23:51,600
Speaker 1: strength to bear it all and be proud of the

1550
01:23:51,600 --> 01:23:54,160
Speaker 1: body that he has. I don't think what he did

1551
01:23:54,240 --> 01:23:55,760
Speaker 1: on the date was weird when you look at the

1552
01:23:55,800 --> 01:23:59,800
Speaker 1: big picture. Totally agree. Now, Cora, Ben and I both

1553
01:23:59,800 --> 01:24:04,240
Speaker 1: apologize for not bringing up the Bulimia conversation last week.

1554
01:24:04,280 --> 01:24:07,040
Speaker 1: We don't know how that slipped our mind. I do

1555
01:24:07,560 --> 01:24:11,960
Speaker 1: you know, multiple recaps throughout the week on different platforms,

1556
01:24:12,080 --> 01:24:15,599
Speaker 1: and I approached on everything else. For some reason, we've

1557
01:24:15,720 --> 01:24:18,679
Speaker 1: slipped our mind here, and that was a very important

1558
01:24:18,680 --> 01:24:20,920
Speaker 1: conversation to have. Super Brave of him, as we talked

1559
01:24:20,920 --> 01:24:24,040
Speaker 1: about earlier in the show, especially as a man talking

1560
01:24:24,080 --> 01:24:28,080
Speaker 1: about UM, an eating disorder, which is actually very common.

1561
01:24:28,120 --> 01:24:31,400
Speaker 1: It's it's not very common, but it's actually more common

1562
01:24:31,400 --> 01:24:33,679
Speaker 1: than you would think. I did look up stats last

1563
01:24:33,720 --> 01:24:37,680
Speaker 1: week and there's over a million men in the country,

1564
01:24:37,760 --> 01:24:41,879
Speaker 1: like per year that are suffering from an eating disorder UM.

1565
01:24:41,960 --> 01:24:46,760
Speaker 1: And yes, I do think that body image and how

1566
01:24:46,800 --> 01:24:49,200
Speaker 1: where he is with it now does tie back to

1567
01:24:49,479 --> 01:24:52,679
Speaker 1: him stripping down on that date, So it it may

1568
01:24:52,720 --> 01:24:55,840
Speaker 1: be a little bit, a little bit out of the norm,

1569
01:24:55,880 --> 01:24:57,720
Speaker 1: but I do think it makes way more sense now

1570
01:24:57,840 --> 01:25:00,120
Speaker 1: in context, and we should have talked about that last week.

1571
01:25:00,800 --> 01:25:03,720
Speaker 1: I'm so interested to know also, how much like like,

1572
01:25:03,760 --> 01:25:05,800
Speaker 1: if Ben had shared that with the other guys m

1573
01:25:06,040 --> 01:25:08,320
Speaker 1: because we saw him tell it to Tasia and private.

1574
01:25:08,320 --> 01:25:10,360
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying he should have. I'm just interested

1575
01:25:10,400 --> 01:25:13,080
Speaker 1: to know because if they didn't know that, I would

1576
01:25:13,120 --> 01:25:15,320
Speaker 1: understand how the other guys would look at him stripping

1577
01:25:15,360 --> 01:25:17,800
Speaker 1: down and be like kind of like, you know, kind

1578
01:25:17,800 --> 01:25:19,439
Speaker 1: of like wearing a shirt was photo, and it's like, oh,

1579
01:25:19,439 --> 01:25:22,400
Speaker 1: that's a little self indulge in bro like just getting naked.

1580
01:25:22,640 --> 01:25:24,120
Speaker 1: But then yeah, when you look at it with that

1581
01:25:24,200 --> 01:25:28,560
Speaker 1: additional context from him and the sharing, like it probably

1582
01:25:28,880 --> 01:25:30,960
Speaker 1: was that I'm projecting my thoughts on him or which

1583
01:25:30,960 --> 01:25:32,840
Speaker 1: I don't mean to, but I can't imagine that it

1584
01:25:32,920 --> 01:25:34,920
Speaker 1: was easy. It seemed like to him it was a

1585
01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:38,320
Speaker 1: vulnerable moment to do that, so it became really powerful

1586
01:25:38,400 --> 01:25:41,120
Speaker 1: as you watched the whole narrative unfold totally, and like,

1587
01:25:41,280 --> 01:25:44,200
Speaker 1: his body isn't something obviously that he's always been proud

1588
01:25:44,200 --> 01:25:47,240
Speaker 1: and confident and comfortable in, So he really was bearing

1589
01:25:47,320 --> 01:25:50,880
Speaker 1: himself there, all right. Our other email is from Joanna

1590
01:25:51,080 --> 01:25:53,320
Speaker 1: and she said, I noticed during this season during cocktail

1591
01:25:53,360 --> 01:25:56,840
Speaker 1: parties after group dates, the guys have been dressing fairly casual,

1592
01:25:56,960 --> 01:26:00,320
Speaker 1: while Tasia has been all dressed up very nicely. It's

1593
01:26:00,360 --> 01:26:03,200
Speaker 1: driving me nuts. Has anybody else noticed this? So I

1594
01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:06,320
Speaker 1: think my excuse for this, and yeah, I guess I'm

1595
01:26:06,320 --> 01:26:10,040
Speaker 1: excusing the guys is that Tassia gets to wear you know, sleeveless,

1596
01:26:10,120 --> 01:26:13,559
Speaker 1: strap less short dresses. It's you know, it's freaking hot,

1597
01:26:13,840 --> 01:26:17,360
Speaker 1: and a girl, yeah, a girl can dress the Nines

1598
01:26:17,439 --> 01:26:20,400
Speaker 1: when it's hot, but guys having to wear, you know,

1599
01:26:20,479 --> 01:26:23,160
Speaker 1: a long sleeve shirt and then a suit on top

1600
01:26:23,200 --> 01:26:26,160
Speaker 1: of it with pants. Oh my gosh, guys, the heat

1601
01:26:26,200 --> 01:26:29,760
Speaker 1: that we felt down there was unlike anything I've ever experienced.

1602
01:26:29,800 --> 01:26:32,160
Speaker 1: It's truly like being in a sauna. It was a

1603
01:26:32,320 --> 01:26:37,559
Speaker 1: hundred and fifteen degrees when I was there. So, yeah, Lauren,

1604
01:26:37,600 --> 01:26:39,880
Speaker 1: you have more to elaborate on this. Well, what Chris

1605
01:26:39,920 --> 01:26:42,400
Speaker 1: would tell me too was that also, like at night,

1606
01:26:42,439 --> 01:26:44,880
Speaker 1: there was no relief for them, like there's not in

1607
01:26:44,960 --> 01:26:47,360
Speaker 1: California usually at night there's no humidity and it like

1608
01:26:47,400 --> 01:26:48,880
Speaker 1: cools down a lot at night. He was like, no,

1609
01:26:49,040 --> 01:26:51,240
Speaker 1: in the desert in the summer, it was still so

1610
01:26:51,280 --> 01:26:54,120
Speaker 1: hot at night, and yeah, what are the guys going

1611
01:26:54,160 --> 01:26:55,600
Speaker 1: to wear a tank top? Like? They don't have a

1612
01:26:55,640 --> 01:26:57,559
Speaker 1: lot of options. Because I asked him, I'm like, I

1613
01:26:57,600 --> 01:26:59,800
Speaker 1: feel like these guys are in white T shirts every minute?

1614
01:27:00,080 --> 01:27:01,680
Speaker 1: Did they pack wrong? And you guys did to go

1615
01:27:01,680 --> 01:27:03,559
Speaker 1: and get them some white T shirts to wear? And

1616
01:27:03,560 --> 01:27:05,880
Speaker 1: he said no, it was just you know, usually see

1617
01:27:05,880 --> 01:27:08,519
Speaker 1: the guys in the collared shirts. It was way too hot.

1618
01:27:08,600 --> 01:27:10,479
Speaker 1: And then obviously on TV, you can't wear T shirts

1619
01:27:10,520 --> 01:27:13,160
Speaker 1: with like logos, you know, so they just all keep

1620
01:27:13,240 --> 01:27:15,759
Speaker 1: ending up in these like just basic white T shirts

1621
01:27:15,760 --> 01:27:18,160
Speaker 1: so that they don't look too messy but that they

1622
01:27:18,280 --> 01:27:22,960
Speaker 1: can actually function enough on you, guys, I wish you

1623
01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:25,679
Speaker 1: could have experienced the heat and and how it felt

1624
01:27:25,800 --> 01:27:28,360
Speaker 1: feels at night to still it's like it cools down

1625
01:27:28,400 --> 01:27:34,200
Speaker 1: a bit, but it's still pretty hard to breathe out there. Blessed,

1626
