Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ready. This is the Ben and Ashley I almost famous
podcast with i R Radio. I'm sitting back right now.
I'm in sweats because i just feel like it's kind
of the off season, Like we've worked so hard for
months and now it's like just like a Saturday. It's
even though it's not, it's like a Saturday afternoon, the
sun is shining our feeder up and this is just
(00:20):
a podcast that we've got to chill um and kind
of just talk about. But instead freaking Bachelor has to
make this an exciting podcast because they released the guys.
Hey Ashley, what's up? Oh Hey? I'm always in sweats here.
I'm like the most unprofessional person in the studio. I'm like,
I'm just sitting here, not on camera. If I'm not
on camera, I look like a bum. You know. It's
(00:44):
it is kind of the thing with this podcast too,
because we do get guests in studio often but not
all the time. But even when there's guests in studio,
I used to kind of get anxious and nervous just
depending on who it is. I don't get that very
often anymore. Yeah, I'm kind of used to it. I
was a little verse with Hannah G. Though I wore
makeup for Handergy because I was like, I don't want
(01:04):
to look gross next to her. Were thoughts on Hannah
G real quick. She's just magical. Do you like your
doing you? Yeah? Yeah, I did too. I thought she
was great. I thought she was a lot. She has
this like even on this podcast, she was terrific. But
I felt like she could even have let loose a
little bit more like I bet when you get her
that girl like out like having fun. She is hilarious,
(01:26):
like absolutely hilarious. Yeah yeah, I love her personality. So
does it make you question your initial thoughts that Hannaby
was the right choice a little bit? But not um,
I feel like they're kind of tied now. If I
had known that Hannah Gy before the decision was made,
that I'd be like, oh, I'll be happy either way.
But it doesn't mean that I'd rather it'd be her
(01:46):
than Hannah By because I just really resonate with Hannah By.
M hmmm, I know, and I'm excited. I am. I
wasn't initially excited, ash. I think when I first heard
the hand of By announcement, and I kind of saw
her life TV as like, oh no, this is gonna
be bad. But as usual, you come up with this good,
like different perspective. They're like, no, she's relatable, she's like
everybody else. She's nervous, she's excited, she's like me, And
(02:09):
now I'm pumped. I think it's gonna be great. I'm
all in on Hannaby. But the disciple of Hanna by
and tell me if I'm wrong, Ash Hannay shows no
signs of wanting to be famous. I agree, she really
doesn't to me. Like you know, there's always this level
where you can kind of read through and see how
(02:31):
often you post on social media or what you're posting
on social media, or you know what you're involving yourself
in and who you're talking to and who you're not
and all these things that you can kind of always
see with the contestants or the bachelor. Bachelor at Hannaby
doesn't have any of that. She has no none of that,
And I love it. I agree. There's so many agreeances. Uh,
there's a couple of things that came out this week,
(02:53):
and it will end with the big one. But some
people were asking who Chris Harrison was talking to on
the phone after Colton jumped the fence, and I was
surprised by this answer. It was actually the franchise creator,
Mike Flice, and he was updating him on this situation.
I've kind of I'm like, Flight is often not there
(03:15):
on set. He's like usually in Hawaii or something. He
pops in every couple a couple couple of weeks. Right
when you say, I mean, you're the lead, you probably
saw more often. Uh, you know, in my season it
was different because he had to be in the US
for whatever reason for a while. But yeah, most of
the time he lives in Hawaii. Now he's not around
very often. And when he is around, even the lead
doesn't really see him. You get a rumor like, hey,
(03:37):
faces in the control room, but you don't. You don't
see him. Yeah, he walks around with sunglasses on flip flops,
all black. You would have no idea. I think it's
kind of interesting that he called him so quickly. I mean,
if they couldn't find him, then I'd be like, Okay, well,
I guess you got to call the man in charge.
But the second he jumps over the fence and I
(03:57):
wonder who was updating Flice. You know that's a thing
is typically I feel like they don't update him on
a lot. I mean this what it points to me, Actually,
it's kind of what we always thought. This was a
lot more of a real deal for the show than
what like I think sometimes the viewers see, right, there's
a lot of memes and funny comments about Colton jumping
(04:18):
a fence and all those things. But then when you
hear stuff like this, like I think those like the
producers and Harrison and Flights were actually word that they
had just lost their bachelor, lost him because he was
actually just gonna quit the show or lost him like
they weren't going to find him in Portugal. I think
I think they had to find him. They have his passport,
but um, I think quit the show. But then again,
(04:40):
kind of like I told Lauren Zema a few weeks ago,
you don't ever really quit the show. You kind of
saw say like he didn't quit the show, Like he
can't really because he's because even if he says like
I'm not going to pick anyone, that's still not quitting,
that's just making a decision that's just in the show.
Then we would have to have two or more long
i've shows to fill the to fill the void. That
(05:02):
was Um. Anyways, as we move on from Colton, Uh,
we have a couple of tweets ASH that have been
people out roasting Colton right now for his sappy tweets.
I like his sappy tweets. It's his time to do it.
He's been hiding Cassie for so long. They've been in
this relationship without anybody knowing it, and so like there's
(05:23):
tweets like this. When it was sent into us, it says,
I love Cassie so much. I just shared my breakfast
with her. That's real love, because I really love breakfast. Now,
if this is still happening in eighteen months, I'm gonna
get you. This is a lot, but right now, like,
let him get sappy, don't you think so? Melissa responded
on Twitter. We has some Twitter responses to that tweet.
(05:44):
She goes, I bet she won't stay for lunch. Sydney
White said, this is legitimately the worst tweet in the world. Um,
and then there's a bet going on. Yeah, so there's
a bet that was made at the beginning of the season. Here.
Let me let me pull it up all right. Easton
actually found the email and apparently I lose the Bet,
(06:05):
can you read it for us? Yes, this is from Jesse. Uh,
she's a huge fan of you both. Let's just want
to throw that in there and make sure eli commute
much more bearable. Anyways, I want to remind you about
the Bachelor draft and Bet you me in the beginning
of the season lost Ashley, ha ha. But Ben, how
did you guess the top three? A little suspicious? I
might add, well, I would say that is suspicious. Come on, guys,
(06:27):
it's not that hard. You guys are ridiculous, don't There
is no collusion going on in this beat. I want
fair and square. Um, here's how I guess the top three.
It wasn't because I had met with Colton. It was.
It wasn't. I didn't know at that time. I had
no clue. It was because you look at the women
and I'm gonna try to do this with the men
(06:48):
before this even starts, now that they're released, before the
season has even been filmed, And let's see if we
can guess it today. But you can kind of tell
I feel like by the pictures, who takes the best pictures? Who?
You know? There's this these position that they always need
to put the winners in but here's a little rumor
that's been going around this week. We gotta think Ari
Lindyke for this. As you look at the group picture
(07:09):
the last two seasons, the winner has stood right next
to the bachelor, and the next bachelor at has stood
in the very back room about four people in from
the left. It was like the weirdest thing, like righte
diagonal from the winner. It was so weird, so weird.
So let's let's play a little game to day ash
(07:30):
and see if we can bet them our guests in
next top three. All right, let's do that in a
little bit once we're done with these headlines. But that
makes me think, you say that who takes the best picture?
Are we selecting our winner quote quote winner based on
attractiveness or are we are we just assuming that they
positioned them in a way to like have the prettiest
(07:53):
picture and like they I don't know, I don't know,
that's a that's a good question. I mean, yeah, because
you have you have no not attracting this because you
have a lot of attractive people on the show. I
think it's just that, like Vibe said, off, I don't know.
Actually I'm trying here, Um I do want to throw
in that as the loser, Ashley, you do have to
sing Selene Dion Alright, that's how we'll get out of
(08:17):
the episode. So well, already I'm thrilled for this. This
is gonna be a great day. Um. Hey, Rachel Lindsay,
one of our favorite bachelorettes, just came out and said
that she thinks the Bachelor it needs to be older
than twenty three years old. Agree or disagree? Ash Well,
Hannaby is twenty four and a half, so she is
older than three. Um. You know, it's interesting just because
(08:42):
our typical marriage ages are so different throughout the country.
I personally feel like I could have never been ready
to get married at But that's just me and that
I think has a lot to do with the culture
that I was, you know, brought up in outside d C.
Year in l A, outside New York. You know, all
(09:02):
of those, like major metropolitan areas just tend to get
married a little bit later, put career career development before,
like settling down. But I don't think there's like one
wrong way or one right way. I do know that statistically, though,
marriages that happened after the age of the percentage is
(09:23):
far more successful the marriage, Um, the divorce rate goes
way down. I wonder too if as we uh, this
is kind of a fun topic, like for the demographic
out there that watches the show and listen to the
podcast that's you know, let's say fifty and above. If
if when they hear the word the age twenty three
(09:44):
and they go and we say it's too young to
get married, I bet they're laughing, because that generation was
getting married a lot younger than twenty three was probably
like a stressor time for for men and women to
start getting married. That's true. My mom got married at two,
My dad was your parents were held. My mom was
twenty one, my dad was twenty five. But my dad felt,
(10:06):
I think a little old to be getting married at
that time. So and and then, like I was looking
another day on Instagram at some of my buddies and
you knew this about me actually, and this was a
huge insecurity of mine a while ago. I don't feel
it anymore. Um that maybe just given up. But the
um my buddies got married right out of college. Well
college was, you know at this point seven years ago.
So my friends have been married for seven years now,
(10:29):
they're having kids, and two kids and three kids the
seven years of marriage. That's that's not a short amount
of time. And I'm still chilling. Jess and I are
just figuring it out right now. Yeah, Well, everybody goes
according to what's right for them, right. I guess that's
the bottom line. It's what's right for the person in
(10:49):
the relationship or looking for a relationship. I want to
go back to colton sappy tweets right now. I'm not
I'm not gonna lie Like the breakfast one was like
a little bit that was like a little bit cringe,
but it wasn't like pretty much falling for everything they've
been posting, especially that airplane picture. Did you love the
airplane picture as much as I did? Colton has such
(11:10):
like a bare body. He's just like such a like
Teddy bear by like physicality and personality and just seeing
her in her snuggle with him like in that first
class pod, I was like, Oh wow, that is freaking cute,
and it's something that you know, only Colton could really
get away with that. What is it about, Nick, Let's
(11:33):
talk about that. You say that only get away with it?
What does that mean? Could you imagine if I was
lying on top of Jared like that we just looked
like I'd be like smashing him. He's such a big man.
Because and because we are older, I think because they're younger,
it's like, all that's so cute, but like to see
two thirty year olds do that and you're like, get
a grip. Yeah it is cute though, Yeah that I
(11:57):
do get it. I look at that picture and that's sweet.
But there is this level two right now. We've got
to give them some grace on their sappiness because they've
been held up for five months. And I think actually
and I both would agree with them for the listening.
These people have been locked in a room, locked in
a hotel room, locked in a house for five months together.
Let them roll on each other for a little bit,
Like wherever they're at, whatever they're doing, if they're on
(12:19):
an airplane or if they're in Good Morning America or
whatever they're doing, let them roll around on each other
because they're in love, um and they haven't had the
easiest journey, right Like I was, uh like I criticized
Cassie uh not knowing how this ended a few weeks
ago because I was like, she didn't break up with
them in the right way. That wasn't good not knowing that.
Then they got back together. So people like me out
(12:41):
there criticizing them, and now they're together. It's all worked out.
So let them enjoy it, let them hang on each other. Yeah,
and in some way, they probably want to post a
lot so you guys can actually get to know their
relationship because there was so much that you missed in
those four months. There is one thing that Colton tweeted
(13:02):
this week that I was like, okay, Colton, okay. The
Jonas Brothers. The Jonas Brothers open um. They uploaded on Instagram.
It was like Sucker for You, like a play on Sucker,
the new single, and Colton said something like, so I
am partially tiny bit responsible for the guys getting back together.
(13:23):
I'm like, Coulton, we all know that. Of Bachelor Nation,
I am the one that gets the credit for that.
Let's not try to encroach my boy band territory. You
can go sing boy band songs without town, but don't
give yourself credit for the Jonas Brothers reunion. Can we
can we pause here for a second, Actually, you just
remind um the listeners what happened last week on this
(13:43):
podcast when I made a comment about who was the
Backstreet Boys or Jonas Brothers now knowing you, and you
got like this like look in your eye, like don't
you dare say that? I was like, what did I
say wrong? Like did they did they know of you
beforehand or something like that, And I was like, yeah,
that was not our first interaction. Yeah, but you're very
(14:04):
protective of that, like that was a very intimate moment
for you, Like, no, they've known me for a long
time and you've never done that to me. It must
be this. Yeah, so I could see where this Colton situation.
I think you guys have it out for each other. No, no, no,
I want Colton to be a boy bander. He is
the perfect boy band Like he kind of completes your
boy band. It's you, Jared, Dean Nick and Colton. Yeah. Yeah,
(14:30):
Colon's just so big he makes me look tiny. Um
that's funny though. Yeah, I'll never forget that look he
gave me. I thought, you're sorry and sorry. I mean,
I get it. I'm not mad about it. It It just
you're protective of the Jonas Brothers. Colton. Beware. Colton probably
doesn't know that. And I'm just really kidding here, like
he can say whatever. I think it's very cool. I
love the fact that they are, like, I know, Kevin
(14:51):
watches Oh my goodness, can I tell a story? Yeah,
you can definitely tell a story. I love it when
you get excited about boy. Man. This is this is
the actually that I fell in love with two years ago. Okay,
so um. I've always followed like the Jonas brothers on
Instagram and Nick and Joe because like Nick and Joe
were young and like the ones that we was like,
(15:12):
you know, they were out there, and I didn't I
didn't follow Kevin because Kevin, you know, has just been
married and has kids and he's just like a lot calmer.
And back when the Jonas Brothers were even like on
tour and a real thing, Instagram wasn't a big thing.
So I just I didn't follow Kevin. And I still
feel a lot of guilt for this. And then I
(15:33):
saw that when they talked about me on that that
radio show, that Kevin responded underneath my Instagram of that
that post he wrote underneath my post seeking out and
he said it's all your fault, and it was like
really cute, and I was like, oh my god, Kevin
saw my Instagram do Kevin follow me? And then I
(15:54):
go and I check and Kevin was following me and
I wasn't following him. Treat me feel so guilty and
horrible because I love Kevin, and throughout the past eleven
years he's just been the sweetest us, always like super
warm and welcoming. Even when we go somewhere we shouldn't be, like,
even if we we we've crashed private events, Kevin's there
(16:18):
saying hi and trying to I don't know you, guys,
I'm sorry, I'm going a little off topic. I just
really think that Kevin is so fantastic. And then I
went to go see if Kevin had ever deemed me
since he followed me, and I saw that in June
he d m me and said congratulations, it's about time
(16:41):
after we got engaged, and I was like, holy moly,
that is the coolest thing. Ever, how in the world
is he tracked his Instagram followers that? Well, what do
you mean track his Instagram followers that? Well, like, how
how do you know when somebody's following you know? I
never know that. Oh, if you go to their profile
say follow back? If you yeah, that's amazing. Actually, yeah,
(17:03):
it was really cool. So you know, I love them
and Colton can love them too. And I think it's
really cool that the Jonas brollers are even watching this
season because I think that Kevin and his wife Danielle
actually watched, especially since Kevin said it's about time about
me and Jared and yeah, so they can get as
involved what they want as they want in the franchise.
(17:25):
So this is now turned into a Jonas Brothers and
Bachelor Bachelorette podcast. Actually, you know what the other kind
of podcast is. This is one endorsing amazing products. And
I know that you've got one that's very close to
your heart literally and figuratively tell him about Third Love.
Third Love is so awesome because they have more sizes
(17:46):
than any other bra company out there. It's like if
you think if you think they're going to the mall
and you're like, oh, I'm a thirty four blah blah
blah b or C, like you probably aren't. You could
be a half size and Third Love it's all about
finding the right fit for you. Because they have they
(18:11):
can be precise about this because Third Love uses data
points generated by millions of women who have taken their
fit Finder quiz to design bras with breast size and shape.
A lot of people don't consider shape in mind for
a perfect fit in a premium feel and the quiz.
It's kind of fun and it takes less than a
(18:32):
minute to complete. Every customer once they get their bra,
has sixty days to wear it, wash it and put
it in the put it to the test. If you
don't love it, return it, and Third Love will wash
it and donate it to a woman in Neat. How
awesome is that I love anything with lace and they
have this whole lace collection. I ordered the Lace Contour
(18:52):
bra in the Mocha color. I like having mocha so
I can just wear white and not have to worry
about being seen through. I will let you know how
this works. I should be getting in the mail any
day now. But all my other Third Love bras, they're
they're sexy, and they feel comfy, and they support me
well and they make my babies look good. Okay, um,

dot com slash famous for off today. A should be
be honest with me for a second. How important is
it to have a comfortable fitting like bra? Is? Is
(19:57):
it like game changing? It's so fun then funny that
you won't understand it. You'll just never be able to comprehend. Yeah,
because sometimes you'll get home if it's not the right size,
and you'll be like all sore and you'll have these
indentse these red indents all over your body. You guys
never have to deal with these indents. Sometimes I get
(20:20):
them even from yoga pants, like really tight yoga pants,
or actually, yoga pants are not that bad, but it's jeans,
like I will have indent in my legs from tight
skinny jeans for hours. Really, I don't. I'll never get this,
and I'm not mad about it, quite honestly, Like I'm
okay without it. Here's my question for you, and then
we need to move on. But I really have a
(20:41):
serious question. Why then do you wear tight yoga pants?
Like why is that a thing? No? Okay, so yoga pants,
there's only a couple. Like tight yoga pants, you'll get
a little indent, but you probably won't feel uncomfortable. Um,
they're they're far more comfortable than jeans. It's genes that
I just I will do anything not to wear gene
They're so uncomfortable for girls. Okay, well, I'm gonna start
(21:05):
wearing yoga pants and no, no jeans as well, just
to feel your pain at times, you just gotta you
gotta wear your tightest pair of jeans and then like
go sit in them for a day as you do work.
Mm hmmm, I will um all right, before we get
in to this exciting moment in bachelor history where the
guys on Hannaby season have been released while the season
(21:27):
is being filmed. Ashley, I'm so pumped to talk about
these guys. There's a lot of rumors and there's a
lot of opinions going on, but one opinion you stand
by is the use of ritual. Oh yeah, I love
ritual because it helps keep your body healthy, not just
now but in the long run. And even as much
as we eat kale salads and drink green smoothies, it's shocking,
(21:52):
but we're still probably not getting all the essential nutrients
that we need on a daily basis. Rituals Essentials has
all the nutrients that most of us don't get from food,
and they have it in a clean, absorbable form, no
shady additives or ingredients that can do more harm to
your body than good. Ritual essential for women is it

the multi vitamin reimagined because it has everything from D
three to Omega three and it fills in all the
gaps in a woman's diet. There's no nausea involved with
these capsules too. It's very gentle and an empty stomach.
And I don't know if you're like me, but one
of the reasons that I never took vitatins before Ritual
(22:35):
was because I'd have to eat like a full meal
before them because they made me so nauseous. There's also
no fishy aftertaste. It's actually a little bit minty, so
you feel fresh um. Most Omega three's have that fishy
after taste, but not with Ritual. Ritual is also traceable
and transparent for all you obsessive label readers out there.

(24:04):
a big moment, Ashley, you and I are both excited
for this. I cannot believe that The Bachelor has gifted us.
I feel like they did it for this podcast, to
gift us with this content during the off season. I mean,
this is a big deal. And so anybody out there listening,
I need you to take a second. I need you
to go uh to your Internet or your phones if
(24:24):
you're not driving, and I want you to pull up
the Bachelor contestants the Bachelor at contestants this year. I
want you to go through them with us. I want
you to have your opinions alongside of us, and then
email us your opinions at Ben and Ashley, iHeart media
dot com. Why do you think to get started? Actually,
why did The Bachelor announce the contestants so early on
(24:45):
this year? I think because they get leaked every year,
so like as mine as well, just leak at ourselves. Okay,
you think, I mean that's it. So they're just trying
to do You really think they're just trying to like
eliminate the spoiler like websites. Yeah, I think they get
a little bit of satisfaction. But doing it before everyone else,
(25:07):
before reality Steve and I think that they're like, Okay,
well huh, let's just play games with him. Yeah, why
don't I mean, what's the negative to doing it this way?
I actually kind of like it. Yeah, I don't think
there's any negative, especially doing it the way they did,
which is like right after the finale accups people excited
and engaged waiting for the next season. And then my
(25:29):
final question before we get going is why is every
picture is so terrible? Like is that on purpose? You
you see these pictures of the contestants, you're like, yeah,
they don't look that great, and then you see him
on the show and you're like, they're incredibly attractive. Eastern
just handed me the entire thirty pages of pictures. Um,
(25:50):
I'm not sure, Ben, I mean, I know that everybody
looks better on the show every year. They look better
on the show. And yes, this show isn't all about
out looks. But can we be vain for a little bit, people,
because the show is known for having you know, can
(26:11):
I say the criminal a crop? You're supposed to have
personalities and looks and it's supposed to be like a fantasy. Right.
You wouldn't be watching The Bachelor if it wasn't like
a fantasy. Yeah, yeah, I get that. And then they
also have to pick the weirdos like like you and
I who just choose to go on the show. That's
always that's half the deal, is this? Okay, who can
(26:32):
we find that's willing to give their life to this
show for a few years, go on and try to
find love? Well that actually been in the world, are
perfect for it? Okay, with no further ado. Yeah, but
can I be honest spend Yeah? Um, these guys, and
I'm trying to give them the benefit of the doubt.
(26:52):
I feel like they were like in a hot dog
line at a football stadium, are like waiting for beers
at the concessions at a football stadium, and they said,
everyone in line, come to come to us, Come to us.
You're on finding love now, Okay? So with note for
(27:12):
their ado, let's enter into this. This group of men
have been judged, they've been criticized. It is by popular opinion.
I think we can all say that most people share
the same kind of sentiment towards this group of men
as Ashley does. We don't know them personally. We're gonna
fall in love with a few of them, and they're
gonna have some amazing personalities. We all know that. But
half the show is looking at these pictures and getting exciting,
(27:34):
going Okay, which one's gonna make it? Which one is not?
And right now, the popular opinion from people out there
is that this group of men is not of the
uh physical qualities that we've seen before on this show.
And that seems it seems so horrible. I'm it is horrible,
horrible to say, it really is. It's horrible to say.
(27:57):
But actually, if you go out there right now and
you go on Twitter, or if you read like the
articles have been posts about these men, the comments section
is just firing up with negative comments. But here's the
thing I want to say, because I can't necessarily agree
or disagree, I'm sure some of these dudes are gonna
be studs and I'm sure they some of them are
going to be funny and weirdos, and we're to bring
them on the podcast just to talk to him and
(28:18):
laugh and have a good time with him. But you
know what long story short is, if you look back
on past seasons, the pictures are terrible. Like I don't
want to judge any of these guys by the pictures,
but we have to. That's part of it. So let's
start with Brian b. Are we gonna go right through
them all, Well, we're gonna run through them. We're gonna
take about twenty seconds on each. Everybody out there, get
(28:39):
your papers ready, to get your brackets ready. We are
running through these men like wildfire. Okay, Brian b. He's
age thirty, location, he's from Louisville, Kentucky. Here's the thing
about Brian b. My first reaction, We're just gonna say
one word actually on every one of these guys that
we sed to describe them. Um okay. He looked confused, confused.
(29:02):
I was gonna say toefor Grace esque, Oh that's fantastic. Okay.
Next guy, we saw him on the show already. He
got the first rows of the season. That's Cameron a.
He's thirty years old. He's from Austin, Texas. Here's my
first reaction to Cameron. A kind That's all I can say.
He just looks like a kind man um front runner
(29:25):
in person, but not on the picture. Yeah can Since
we saw this guy ready, we are going to spend
a little more time on him. Uh and on the show,
he seemed he still seemed a little goofy to me,
Like he seemed like he didn't feel comfortable up there yet.
Oh yeah, but in like the perfect way for Hannah.
Don't you feel like goofy, a little nerdy, a little awkward,
(29:47):
but perfect for her. Alright, I'm writing him down. He
might be a part of my top fis Top four
Chason See twenty seven years old, long View, Washington. Chason
c looks like he makes millions selling stocks online? Is
he um a Wolf of ball Street? Right there? Why
does he? Why is he the one that wears the suit? Like?
(30:07):
How does that work? I just don't know how. He's
twenty seven? What do you think he feels like he's
thirty seven? To me? First reaction, he's thirty seven, but
he's they just twenty Okay, we got Darren B. Darren
Be's twenty five years old. He's from Atlanta, Georgia. I'm
a big NBA fan his his dad was a former
(30:28):
NBA player, Mookie Blaylock Darren Be. Here's the thing with
Darren b. How do these guys are allowed to wear
college shirts? I don't get it. But he doesn't know
what to do with his hands? Yeah, just straight up awkward.
I hear, I think this is him. I hear that.
If you see other pictures of him, he looks like
a totally different human. Really, yeah, I hope all these
(30:52):
guys do. Honestly, I mean, this is this is These
pictures are not doing them justice. And when I say that,
Connor Jay's only eight years old. This guy right here,
he's every girl's friend zone. He is just the sweetest, kindest,
most gentle person. Wait did you see the comment, the
most savage fan comment? He looks like every guy in
(31:16):
the friend zone in every rom com ever. Oh, it's true,
he does. He just looks like a nice friends owner.
He has the bracelets on that probably represents something great
in this world, and I respect him for it. That's
that's what I see in him. What do you see?
I don't Oh, God, is this gonna be one of
those podcasts. I don't know if he's gonna get off
Hannah's friend zone, that is fair to say. Connor s.
(31:41):
Connor S. I think takes the best photo in the group.
I think this guy is gonna be really good looking
in person, not great on these photos like everybody else.
He's aged twenty four. Here's uh what I say about
Connor s. He left his fraternity to come on the show.
Connor was on the after the final Rows episode. He
(32:02):
was the one with the step stool. Uh, I see,
I'm surprised he didn't get it. Yes, it seemed like
a good dude. He yeah, no, Cam just killed Cam
killed it. Cam make a great job. What you got
her with the roll tide? You know, everybody just needs
to bring Alabama to her and she's gonna be down.
Connor is cute. He's cute. Let's see if he has
(32:23):
like the manliness maturity that I feel like she's going
to be looking for. Fair enough, Let's see if Dustin
Kay has a Dustin K's age thirty. He's from Chicago, Illinois,
Dustin K. And this picture looks like he is trying
way too hard to be happy. I feel like this
has club promoter on it for me. Yeah, that's good point,
(32:46):
just like, Hey, I'm a happy guy or I'm a
fun guy. Let me smile really big and stare at
the camera. Dylan B. Dylan B is twenty four years old.
Dylan B. His mom forced him to go, oh that's funny. Um,
I think Dylan might be cuter and I think Dylan
might be an undercover cutie. Really yeah. Okay. Some people
(33:11):
are saying that online about Garrett P. Garrett is twenty
seven years old from Birmingham and Obama. Hey, listeners, are
you keeping up with this? We're flying through these people today.
Garrett P. To me he has a little bit of
a Jeff Holme vibe. Oh my gosh, he so does, like, Hey,
what's going on below or beneath that smile? I think
(33:35):
Garrett could have been really cute in this picture if
it weren't for his shirt. The shirt really brings him down.
His shirt kind of looks like it has Volvo is
all over it. Okay, So the comment here this most
fat the Most Savage fan comments says the shirt has
Maxi pads all over it. You really took it one
step above you're right. I see it now, you see
(33:57):
it looks like he has a bunch of vaginas all
over it. Um okay. Jed W. Jedw is twenty five
years old. He's from Nashville, Tennessee. Jed W looks like
a guy that peaked about a year ago and he
is living his best life now. Another guy that does
look older than his age. I'd say, let's put some
(34:19):
product in his hair and we'll see. Yeah, he just
looks like a world out of bed and went down
to the photo shoot and had no clue that this
is going to come back to bite him. Uh, speaking
of biting him. Uh, Devin H. His shirt is uh
is something to be admired. He's twenty seven years old
from Sherman Oaks, California, not far from the Bachelor mansion.
Devin H. Your shirt is bity. Why do you? Why
(34:42):
do you wear this shirt on the photo shoot? Like?
Who talked you into this? I feel like he needs
to get a limned net one just because of the shirt.
Really not a fashion girl, but something The guy's clothing
really can change their appearance. It's actually mind boggling how
your clothing can And can I tell you something. Honestly,
I feel like most skies look better just in a
T shirt and a backwards hat. That's like almost everybody's
(35:05):
best look. And then if you're like dressed in a tux,
then you look nice and you know, spaking, spanking, spank worthy.
What we're trying to say. I have no idea what
I'm saying, but clothing choices in these pictures have really
affected them. Matt, and I think Hunter J from Westchester, California.
(35:28):
Hunter J. I want to just say, his clothing choice
is another one, like why these guys back in thees,
like none of them were like up today clothing like
we see on the show. I look at these guys
and I need fashion advice. I need fashion sense. But
here's the thing about Hunter J. Hunter J is a
really good listener. I know it looks at his eyes,
very kind eyes. I have nothing to say about him.
(35:52):
Joe B. Joe B is from thirty He's from Chicago, Illinois.
Joe B will tell you all about a good piece
of pizza. I mean, this guy knows what is the
best difference between deep crust, thin crust and just some
hand tossed All right, you're like rocking this game right now,
like you're actually making it seem like fact. I'm like, oh,
(36:12):
where's he reading from? No, I'm coming up with all
these So Joe By is that guy who comes up
to you at a bar when you and then you're
like no, and then he just doesn't get the hint
and he just keeps coming over to you all night long,
and you're like, we need to leave. This guy won't
leave me alone. Grant Grant. He's from He's thirty years
(36:35):
old from San Clemente, California. Grant E is the coolest
dad you know. I mean this guy. This guy will
stand beside you at a soccer game, look at you
in the eyes and be like, hey, buddy, I've got
a six pack of beer in the in the back
of my van. You want to go grab one an intermission?
And you're so into it because that Grant guy, he's
got it going on. He kind of looks like horror.
(36:56):
Hey to me, who's horror? Oh? Oh not that's not
your I see it, okay. Beni Benji, this is the
Benji is gonna be my favorite this season. Benji's thirty
years old from Charlotte, North Carolina. Benji has nothing savage
about him. This guy, he is the purest hearted man.
He is so just clean cut. He will sit down,
(37:17):
he will look your mother in the eye and tell
her everything she wants to hear, and he means it
from the depths of his soul. And you say he
has something savage about him, But I'm gonna go with
the most savage fan comment we have here. He looks
like he gets ft up at an Applebee's. Oh man,
that's good, that's really good. Oh if I didn't have
(37:40):
you know, I came from Worth, Sandiana. Applebee's used to
be the coolest bar in town. Hey, Joe R. Is
seven from Stanton Island, New York. I have nothing to
say about Joe are other than the fact that if
I just saw his picture, I could guarantee you he's
from Stanaten Island, New York. Scotton Island. You are Denver
boy through and through. Huh Um. Joe looks like I
(38:02):
again think he He may have potential in the house,
but he's gonna be rough around the edges. She may
think he's sexy. The other guys are gonna hate him.
Joey J thirty three from the THEESDA, Maryland Joey J.
Here's my comment to you, buddy, not to hate on
you too much, but that, like I've I tried to
get the line in my hair once before, his feels
(38:24):
like it's about three inches too much in the middle.
It's like just going on the side of a part.
I was gonna say, I want to be Robbie Hayes. Oh,
couldn't we be so lucky? Hey? John Paul J Twenty
four years old, New Carrollton, Maryland. Is how you say that?
I'm sure you know. Yeah, Um, John's wearing a shirt.
(38:46):
It's pretty baggy on him. I mean, let's be honest.
The shirt is not his own. And that's my My
first reaction is to John, is he stole his dad's
clothes to come on the show. Yeah? The shirt is
so distracting. I don't even look at his face, and
when I do, I think he could be in a
Taylor Swift music video. Oh well, that means he's good looking,
(39:07):
but you know, I don't know. Luke Ps two years
old from Gainesville, Georgia. I look at Luke p and
I think this is the guy that comes up to
me at the gym when I'm trying to lift and
he tells me I'm doing it wrong. I was gonna say,
Jordan Rodgers want to be Jordan's Rogers wanta be Wow.
(39:27):
That's a pretty high praise, though, considering that Jordan Rodgers
is happy um with Joe L. Fletcher. Good for them. Hey,
Jonathan seven from loss Alga, Los Angeles, California, Jonathan s,
I look at you here about chees just cheesy. That's
(39:52):
kind of it is like it does. The most savage
fan comment is it looks like a gap bad. That
kind of does. Like I just don't think he's comfortable.
He's not nervous, he knows he wants to be there,
he's there for the right reasons. He's just he's just
he's just, I don't know, he's cheesy. Jonathan being like
(40:14):
very proactive, like always going after her, being very eager.
Oh yeah, oh yeah. Kevin F from Montana, Illinois'm not
gonna say that right, but it's it's close. I promise
you that Kevin f has been the guy that's in
your friend group who has always been like good looking
(40:34):
enough where you're like, I think Kevin F' is good looking,
but yet he never really seems to land the girl.
Friend like he just always seems to be the guy
that people like. I don't know why he's single, but
he always is. I feel like he looks like a
poor man's Tim Tebow, and he also comes up to
you at the bar and never leaves you alone. Luke
(40:57):
s is twenty nine from Washington, d C. His picture
is so bad. He looks like he looks like a doll.
Luke Okay, So here's the thing about these photos, and
we're going through first reactions again. When we watch the show.
These guys are all gonna be looking. They're gonna be studs,
they're gonna be funny, they're gonna be charismatic. We're gonna
fall in love with him. But the best part is
these photos make us all look so terrible. My photo
(41:19):
is so goofy and so ridiculous that of course you're
going to judge it initially, and it's one of the
best parts of the show. And I look at Lucas
and I'm like, this right here is that this guy
is behind the scenes model and the show just really
got him bad. With this from Washington, d C. I
can't get over the fact that he told Hannah that
he wanted to go south on her on the first meeting.
(41:42):
That's aggressive. I'd say that's that's not the best first impression.
I don't think right now, but I really hope that
everybody who's been listening to this in the car either
rewatches this or like presses pause, because this would be
so much more fun to listen to when you have
the guy's pictures in front of you. Oh, definitely go
through yourself, That's what I'm saying. Please go through these
(42:03):
yourself and just figure out if like this is what like,
if you agree or disagree. But we're gona look at
Matt D here, thirty one from Winner Springs for an
amazing place. I was actually just there for my coordinator's wedding. Anyways,
I look at Matt D and Matt D is every
grandma's favorite person. He is going to be like the
(42:25):
sixty and up like fan favorite, seventy and up fan favorite.
I'm gonna say he must be funny, yeah, like just
like a little goofy like Okay, So we have the
second Matt D. He's twenty six from Los Gatos, California.
He doesn't look forty six. Matt D here this this
(42:46):
photo he got to wear the button down shirt. This
photo makes me think to him is he works really hard,
but he knows how to work hard, play hard. That's
his motto, because he can up button a shirt one
extra button, roll up the sleeves, and have a beer
at the bar. Oh he's so, he's gonna be all right.
He's gonna be around a while. Okay, yeah, he's gonna
(43:07):
be fine. Mat from California. I look at Matt S here,
and Matt s has a secret to tell that we'll
find out about episode three. I think he is going
to be desperately in love with Hannah. I think this
is this might be my favorite. I look at this guy,
and I look I think episode three, we fall in
(43:30):
love with Matts. He might be so eager to be
with her that she gets grossed out by him. I
love this savage comment goes, I guess when the fry
Festival doesn't I guess when the fire Festival doesn't pan out,
you try your luck on the Bachelor at Because if
you didn't, you watched that documentary. You know that the
founder of the fire Festival Mateo V. Atlanta, Georgia. This
(43:57):
is what I think of Mateo V. He looks like
me trying to wear their co like. I try to
be tough, I try to be cool. I try to
grow up my scruff and do a cool haircut, put
on the leather coat and walk out and think, Yeah,
I've got it going. It never works for me. I
don't think it's working for him either. I think she
may like him, and he's from Atlanta, which is pretty
close Salabama. She needs a Southern guy. Tyler G from
(44:19):
Boca Ratone, Florida. Here's the thing about Tyler G. I
think he's actually probably a very good looking man. But
they used the absolute worst photo possible for him. They
caught him mid smile, and so here's what imna say
about Tyler G. Lighten up a bit, smile, relax, and
let those pearly white shine His face says, are am
(44:41):
I sure I really want to do this? Peter W
twenty seven from Westlake Village, California. Peter W. He hit
the tanning bed way too hard right before this show.
I get a dude, I did it too, But yeah,
he spent twenty minutes in the tending bed and said
a twelve. I feel like he came out of like
the ninet sixties or seventies. He looks like he could
have been on the Brady Bunch. Mike J. Thirty one,
(45:04):
San Antonio, Texas. Mike J. Picks the color that just
could not go worse with the background, and his eyebrows
are far too polished for a man. Ryan S. Philadelphia,
Pencil Vania. When I look at Ryan S, I think
that this man has nothing tough about him, not a
(45:27):
bad way. I just think he is the softest, most
gentle human and he's gonna sit down and he's gonna
put his hand just just very lightly on Hannahs shoulder
and he's gonna look it in the eyes and go,
I'm so happy it was you. Really, because I see
him getting things started with the guys. Really a little
fire starter. See I think that about Scott A from Chicago, Illinois.
(45:51):
He's from Chicago. I know those Chicago is a group
right by, and he spikes his hair straight up in
the air. This guy is the fire starter on the season. Yeah,
now I see him, and I see what you're saying, man, Chicago,
Chicago's got grit. Thomas seven from south Field, Michigan. When
I look at Thomas S from Michigan, what I think
(46:14):
about Thomas s from Michigan. I honestly, it reminds me
of my good Midwestern buddies. Like he doesn't it doesn't
necessarily want to be here. Somehow he ended up on
The Bachelor at He's not exactly mad he's here, but
he has so many things he'd rather be doing, Like
he has no interest in standing in this room right now,
and I think that's maybe how he'll be on the show,
just no interest he has. He has too many cool
things happening back in the Midwest. Okay, I really don't
(46:37):
have much to say about Thomas. Can't be creative with
that one. And finally we come to the only one
that would catch my eye based on the pictures, Tyler C.
And when I ever tell any like I've told a
couple of people, I'm like, when people are like, oh
my god, have you seen it, guys, it's so rough,
I'm like, but Tyler C is not rough. However, he
(47:00):
looks like a player. He looks like the guy who
is going to screw over. He reminds me of Bentley
on Ashley's season, and Bentley just such a terror Jupiter Florida. Ashley,
So what you're saying with Tyler c is based on
a picture. What we think could happen is he's going
(47:22):
to be the standout, good looking guy on the season.
Hannah is gonna be really into him right away. But ultimately,
is this guy going to be the guy that breaks
the hearts of millions? Oh? Absolutely? And I'm not alone
in this. The most savage fan comment says he looks
like a player, and according to reality, Steve Tyler is
a male model who works in construction. And if you
(47:44):
haven't already looked, his instagram is private. My sister and
I tried to search him, but yeah, I can't. Can't
look for a while. Okay, our preliminary results as we
ran through and we just described everybody based on a picture,
don't we all wish that's how life was. Everybody looks
at our picture and just goes, yeah, that who this
person is seems to be super accurate. Anyways, we just
diad that with these guys, these poor guys who can't
(48:06):
be defend themselves right now because they're on the show filming. Now,
We're gonna play a little game, Ashley, who's your top
three at the end of the season. Okay, hold on,
hold on, I'm gonna put Cam. I'm gonna put Cam
in there. Okay, So Cam? Who else? Um? Okay? Hold on,
I'm thinking about Matteo. I'm thinking about definitely not Luke.
(48:36):
I'm sorry. Do you have your top three already? I do?
Here's my top three. Here's what we're gonna do. I
got Kevin f Okay, Kevin f is one I've got.
I would say that my my favorite right away is
gonna be Tyler. See, he's gonna be left off very
early in this show. He's gonna this is gonna come
(48:58):
out and it's gonna are bad. Like we're we're all
going to be very disappointed in that storyline. I don't
know if it's happening or not. Actually, he's probably a
super nice guy and they'll be the next Bachelor. I
hilned up with her. But that's what we're saying for this.
I'm gonna say, Grant, Grant, Grant. There's two Grants and Cameron.
(49:20):
I think Cameron's gonna be there. I could see here's
what I can see in Cameron. I can see those
two at the end being really goofy, really weird with
each other, and America absolutely falling in love with the
two of them, because they are just perfect for each other.
Oh one thing, when I had dinner with Demi and Katie,
they said that, like Hannah's really she's not so into
(49:44):
like looks. She just wants a super goofy guy. Huh,
Like she just wants somebody to laugh with. Like when
we say goofy, we mean humor or like awkwardness, like nerdy.
I think nerdy, like a goofball, like a goof like
just awkward. Uh so interesting. Well that's what we got
(50:06):
to look forward to this year. Then my vote for
Cameron is working. Hey again, please don't judge these guys
too critically. None of that we said, we actually know. Yeah,
but please go through yourself and just look at these
guys and go, this is what I think of them,
And then look at your own picture and think about this.
What would you think of yourself if you saw a
picture of yourself standing there? Hey, we have two last
segments left with mine they would have said jersey girl,
(50:29):
which is what they wanted to come across. And then wait,
you didn't ask I needed to give him my my
my top three. Are you ready? I'm ready? Okay, I'm
not going to do any specific order. I don't know
who wins, but these are my top three. Garrett who
was from Birmingham, Alabama and could have looked really good
if you didn't wear the Volva shirt, Dylan B. And
(50:52):

little more Bachelor focused just because of the news of

Hannah by season. With that, we're gonna read a couple
of emails that are best, they're focused. Last week we

there there's some suitors out there that we were thinking
of that could be perfect for Hannah Gee. And one
of our favorite listeners, Megan wrote in and she goes, Hi, guys,

about who would be good for Hannah Gee. And here
(53:30):

know people are to be liked, like, but Dean is
so bad in relationships and sure, but like, come on,
he's the nicest. He's got such a sweet, warm heart.
I don't think Dean's bad relationships. I think Dean. I
think Dean has the sigma being bad in relationships, and
(54:33):
I think right now he's kind of owning it. But
with the right woman like to put her foot down
and like tell him what's up. I think Dean just
like would be terrific in relationship. I just don't think
he has the opportunities right now. You think that, like
right now though, I think he likes his his free
lifestyle right now. Yeah, he has a little wonder less
in him. I get that. We'll keep sharing for Dan
Chase mcnarry. I actually like this one because I've gotten
(54:55):
to know Chase more and more of the last few months,
and now that he's moved back to Denver. I think
Ace is the type of guy would set up and
I would tell I would tell Chase this maybe a
year and a half ago. I don't think Chase would
have been in a place where I would have set
him up with a friend of mine. I think he's
getting to a place where his the Chase I knew
before the season of The Bachelorette aired is the Chase
I know now. Okay, well, then I'll go with your
(55:16):
recommendation there, because I don't think I've seen Chase in
the past year and a half, so I would have
said no, But now I'm going to say yes. Yeah,
he's in a good place and he's he's a very
kind man. He's he's focused. Um so I I I'm
a Chase McNary fan. Again. I really was before the season,
and then I don't know things happened. Derek Peth, Derek Peth,
(55:36):
from everything I hear, is one of the nicest men
that anybody's ever met. What do you think of Derek
Peth and Hannah Gy I think I've only met him once,
but he said not so great things about me and Jared.
So I'm not the biggest of fans, so I say, now,
Luke Pell who has taken So that's not gonna work.
And here was a weird one, one of those thrown
(55:57):
out there, but a guy I like Brian oz Born.
I just don't think you ever see Brian Osborne back
on a season. And I feel like Hannah Gie is
so young, and I think Brian's got to be now
in his mid thirties. I just don't think it's working.
So Brian, I feel like it's constantly a backup for
Bachelor in Paradise, Like I feel like they always want
to bring them back, but then they never end up
(56:18):
doing it. I think there was I think he was
supposed to maybe do it Bachelor in Paradise for but
then with the current drama, he didn't make it in.
But I think he may have flown down there. I'm
not one. I may be making up rumors, but um
I could see that. I could see them together. Yeah,
I wonder. I don't know. We're let's get on that.
(56:38):
Let's get the almost famous podcast on the Hannah g Train,
trying to find her a potential partner out there in
this world, because I mean, as great as she is,
there's got to be a guy out there that is
worthy of Hannah ge. So we'll keep fighting, we'll keep watching,
and Paradise this year, I guarantee you is gonna be good.
I don't see. Here's the one thing I do take
away from this, Actually, I don't know after looking at
(57:00):
the guys from Hannah by season, who are going to
be great Paradise contestants because I just don't know how
far they go. But I don't know if I see
any of them just from the initial glance, like with
a Hannah Gee. Yeah, And I think if they are
what they are in their pictures, they're not gonna be
They're gonna better. I just feel like Dean if he
(57:22):
goes back to Paradise is just gonna be just all.
Every woman is going to be flawning flocking to him. Yeah,
but those guys gonna be better in their pictures. Showed
it on purpose. They want us out there that So
we'll see who goes on Paradise this year. But I
am going to be so excited to be watching Hey,
(57:42):

ben bitches segment of the off season. Will you tell

So here's the thing. If you saw my tweet this week,
you'll know where this is coming from. Um. I I
stay in hotels most of my life. I'm home often,
(01:01:19):
but when I'm gone, I'm staying in a hotel. I
don't hate hotel rooms. I actually kind of like them.
They're quiet, I don't have to clean up all the time. Um.
The only thing I need to do is to tip
somebody as I leave, and that's about my only obligation
when it comes to a hotel room. My problem is
that no matter what hotel room I stay into these days,
no matter how nice or how not nice they are,
(01:01:41):
there's always decorative pillows on the bed. And I one
thing about hotel rooms, if you think about it, is
there is somebody sleeping in that room doing weird things,
because we all do weird things, not more than probably
twelve hours before. So the best part is when the
sheets can be washed, soap has been changed in the shower.
It's kind of like a new start. It's revitalizing. I'll
(01:02:01):
bring my little wipes, I'll wipe down the remote control
when I walk in, and then I'm good. This room
is my room. For the next X amount of days.
But decorative pillows can't be washed, they cannot be clean.
There's no zipper that allows the fabric to be taken off.
And so here's what happens for me and for every
other person in the hotel room. You walk in, there's
decorative pillows on the bed. You take off those decorative
(01:02:24):
pillows right away. Hopefully you throw them on the floor.
The floor is not any better. It just picks up
more germs if you leave them in the bed. Who
knows what's going on in that bed. I I can
picture some old man just squatting gently up and down
on the docorate decorative pillows. It's disgusting, it's gross. So
here is my segment saying that hotels should get rid
of decorative pillows. They're useless, they're not right, and they're dirty.
(01:02:49):
So that was your bad bitches for the leak. It
seems that was it. Yeah, that's my that was the
very first bit bitches off season. I feel better now.
I just don't like it. Actually, I'm not a fan
of it. I don't I don't I don't want it.
I don't like it. We don't need it. You sure,
most of them don't have zippers. I don't know. I
don't touch them long enough to look. I guess I
would be surprised if hotels are unzipping those, washing them
(01:03:12):
and putting them back on the bed. Obviously, not every day,
maybe once in a while. Can you just imagine ash
like the weird dust stuff that goes on in those pillows,
like yeah, and then it grows out more by the bathrooms.
I get that too. I think I'm starting to get old.
I'm starting to think about this stuff. I don't like it. Yeah,
I feel like I feel like I'm gonna be like
(01:03:32):
a really grumpy, rickety old man, just like Matt all
the time about the most ridiculous things. I'm on my
way there, lights, all wipes. That's so great. I mean,
I like that I have props for planes and hotels, lights,
all wipes every day. But one thing I'm not mad about, Ashley,
is getting to continue to talk to you every week

almost famous history. Let's see which one is the easiest one.
I'm feeling this moment for a lot of reasons. Not
only do I feel the victory in it, I feel
this success in it. I feel that I've won and
I've accomplished. But I also get to feel that you're

Eddie re enacting Selene Dion Ashley when you're ready. Okay.
So I am putting in headphones to sing so I
don't need been so you guys don't know. I don't
(01:06:04):
know how it works, but you know how that is. Right.
So she wants she wants music to sing along too,
which makes sense. So she's gonna put that in her
ears so she can sing along and hear the music
and be more accurate. And we will only hear her
voice and not the music because we're not allowed to
play other people's music on this podcast or any podcast.
I feel like we get the best end of the
(01:06:25):
deal that uh huh. We need to hear her voice
when we get to listen to the sweet melody that
is playing, and Ashley, Um, she doesn't get to enjoy it.
Everybody wants hey, win win. This one's a little bit easier.
I think, I don't know why this is so awkward
for me. Maybe next time she she was her Bachelor's
(01:06:46):
a little more carefully. Huh. I don't know what she's doing.
She has headphones and I think she's just enjoying the
song right now, Mark, waiting for it to come around again.
I can read your mind and then Nia story, I
see what your going through. Yeah, it's enough hill climb
(01:07:09):
