Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
with i R Radio. Hey guys, it's Ashley. What an
episode we have to break down. I was hanging on
to every moment. I watched it until two am last
night because my intention was, you know, watch half now,
watch half in the morning, and I couldn't. It was

(00:21):
too good. I had to keep going. Even Jared kept
going and watching it with me. I'm gonna call Jared
in a minute, and I first want to introduce my
co host for the day, because Ben is down in Honderous.
It is Heather McDonald. Hello, how are you? Thank you
for the applause. Heather. I first met you when I

(00:41):
was on your podcast and we talked about being uh,
twenty seven year old virgins. You had me on because
you know we could bond over that in such a
great career move now for people. You know, I tried
to capitalize the backup back in the day. I did.
I try to get on real world using that as

(01:03):
my ticket, and you didn't. I think, I like back
then it was harder, like you couldn't just like email somebody.
So I think I wrote a letter and like never
sent it, but I did think, like God if I
could just get to the casting people, I think they'd
be impressed that I was a virgin, like that would
make me weird or something, and they'd want me. But um,
I don't think I never tried out for it. I
just watched the show you and I have is good,

(01:24):
it is. Then we got the Heather girl. This time
we kissed, but then she didn't get kissed. Okay, we'll
talk about that later because that exit was a little
bizarro to me. But you also know how there because
she is. She used to be a frequent guest on
Chelsea Hall. I wrote and produced the show for the
whole seven half years. I was on the show the
whole time on and then but that's where people probably

(01:46):
recognize me the most. And you're comedian and you now
have Juicy Scoop with Heather McDonald. It's an awesome podcast, funny,
thank you, Yes you're the guest, and yeah it's going great.
I just came back from doing six shows this weekend
to doing lots of stand up. But I do live
podcast live Jes Scoop podcast as well with guests and stuff,

(02:07):
so that's fun. So I do both shows, so people
follow me. They were in Denver this week. I'm going
to go to Denver. Just work that in works. I've
never been to Denver, just been at the airport a
couple of times. Oh that's fun. Yeah, the airport's really nice.
It is a nice airport. That airport, Yes, home of
Ben Higgins on The Bachelor. Oh the airport Ben was on,

(02:31):
not Ben, Ben met him in Denver. Oh yeah, of course, yes,
of course. Okay, moments ago, I thought you were talking
about Ben just being on the show and being from Denver,
not the fact that the two of them met Inn
we did. Ben was on the on the podcast. Ben

(02:51):
is actually not on the podcast right now, but he
was on this episode of the Bachelor, and he gave
some advice. You know, it was vague, but in the
best Ben way possible. Can I just say, you know
the dad who right from the start, okay, when we
met Calton's dad and he told whoever it was, Becca,

(03:15):
don't pick my son if you're not going to go
all the way with him, meaning like take him to marriage,
not sex wife. And I was like, oh, that dad's
he's a little dad manager he saw right then, No, no, no,
save this virgin. He'll be the Bachelor, and he gave
just as good advice he's been that. Coulton's dad has
not been missed an episode of The Bachelor since the

(03:38):
very beginning. I think Colton, actually, I would love to
hear what you say on this too. I think Coulton
a lot of who he is has been determined by
that father, good and bad. Interesting, Yeah, no, totally. He
he is a dadager, but he but you could tell
he was also like Mr Coach when he was in football,
and he was probably just like the tough he was.

(04:00):
He was a tough dad, teddy bear dad, where sometimes
he was a mush but a lot of the times
Calton was kind of scared to talk to him about
certain things. Right, and his parents are divorced, right, Yeah,
so that did they each have a step parent with
him at the beating it? Okay, Well, we were going
to get more into the episode in a little bit,
so much to break down, but first I want to

(04:22):
make an announcement. Jared and I, as you guys know,
wrote I mean you probably no because you listened to
the podcast and I figured that you follow me to
a certain extent. Because of that, we had a book
come out last week it's called Lucy and Clark, a
Story of pubby Love. It's loosely based on our love story. Um,
it's it's a story about overcoming your fears and the

(04:44):
magic that can happen when you step out of your
comfort zone. Um, it's kind of things that we had
to overcome in order to be together the way we
are now. So we're on Good Morning America last week
and ACCESS talking about it was so exciting. It's really
awesome that it's come out. We kept the secret for
a long time. The idea of it initiated in May

(05:05):
because a lot of people when we were when we
came out about our relationship, We're like, you should write
a book about it, and we're like, we're not going
to write like a book about it. We already talked
about everything you guys need to know in the story
of us. Were like, but we could start. We could
write a children's book about the lessons that we've had
to learn through it all. So that it started out
as like just a silly idea we thought we had,

(05:28):
and then it evolved into a real children's book and
kind of started getting going on it in November and
all of a sudden, We're able to put it out
so quickly, and it was it's just really really close
to our hearts. Um. So you can get that at
Lucy and Clark book dot com and we are going
to do something very special with the book and the
heather will come. Oh it's it's in Malibu. So that's

(05:51):
why their past apps and cocktails. There are sweet treats
and cocktails. Okay, okay, great, so it's good enough. I'm
gonna have to get a little something before. All right,
just Mr Chow after I'll go. I was gonna say,
I don't go to party food, need a full meal.
Like I'm so, I'm not that person that doesn't eat.
I'm like, what's the food first dessert for? Then? Mr

(06:14):
Chow with us, remember when we were at that Halloween
party when I was but we were like in the
second food vendor line because we're like, yeah, it's free food.
We're going to have all the full I'd like to
full blown burgers that thing. Yeah, it's good. That's what's
going to like keep me from my like wedding diet
is just all the free food. Yeah, just go for it.

(06:36):
Who cares? All right? Well, anyway back to our our party,
our book party. Ben and I are going to do
a live podcast from Planet Blue in Malibu, California, on
March fourth. We're gonna sell We're celebrating the book. So

off something really cool. After the party, we're gonna have
a private dinner with me, Jared and Ben and celebrities
and Heather and and Heather and other Bachelor surprises at
Mr Chow's in Malibu. If you've never been, the only
time I've ever been to Mr Chows was on a

(07:42):
really bad date. Like, so I've been to the Malibu one.
It's just been totally redone. It's great, but yeah, let's
hear about your bad Oh. I mean it just was silent.
We had nothing to say to each other. And it
was a blind date. It was it was I was
set up, always set up. That's like the only day
it was a truly a blind date. Like you, nobody

(08:03):
even like text you a photo of him. Um, maybe
I looked him up. I must have looked well Jared
about it. Oh no, no, no, hey, babe, Dared. He
doesn't like hearing about it, Like even if it was
literally over three years ago. He can handle it, Babe.
What don't I like hearing about If we were talking
about how you know how after our party at Planet

(08:23):
Blue on the fourth, we're going to have a special
dinner that we're auctioning on for charity at Mr Chow's.
I was just saying that the only time I miss
I've been to Mr Chiles before was on a really
awkward date. Oh, I'm okay hearing old date, old date
and it was awkward. Never led to a second. I
actually ran into the guy on the street. A couple

(08:44):
of months later and we were like, oh, hih, hi,
it's good to see Hi. It's weird um okay anyway,
But if you want to bid on this dinner with Jared, me,
our other Ben and other Bachelor favorite, go to if
only dot com. So you're gonna get the private dinner.

(09:04):
You're gonna go to the party. We're gonna go Mr Chow's,
like the most fancy restaurant in l A. Just just
been on it. You know. If only dot Com support
the book and you guys will read the book at
Planet Blue. Oh yeah, we're going to do a little
children's reading here. Had better get his voice ready for
a reading. I think my voice sounds pretty good for
a reading. I think it's kind of I guess not

(09:28):
for a children's book reading, though, I should really care.
In order, we should have your dad fly out here
for this. So it's dad. If I don't know, if
you caught this on Instagram, you guys can go to
Jared's Instagram to see Jared's dad reading the book to
Clark himself, the dog the book is based on, and
he seems like what's the actor's name in elf? Jared

(09:48):
will Ferrell? No, the elf Elf No, what is it,
Bob Hope, Bob Hop Yeah, I'm sorry, blag on the
plane Bob Bob Hope is in the movie No, No,
Bob Hope was Bob Hope was thinking, why do we
both think? I know who you're thinking of? It's another

(10:10):
old comic show who is alive? And well praise okay,
all right, well he's alive. But we just saw him
on the Grammys, I think, and it was I mean,
he's like ninety, I mean amazing, but like he's very old.
Well yeah, but he's doing great. And he was just
like on Jimmy Kimmel. Okay, I'm just saying he's great.

(10:34):
But I'm saying, you know, when I'm like, you get
to a certain age, it is a little jarring, and
you see them on TV. I'm just saying, sorry, we're
all going to be there one day. I'm just saying,
it's not like he's tap dancing. I mean, he's ninety. Sorry,
but another what's his face when Mary Poppins was tap dancing?
Oh my god? Why can I not think of his
name right now? That's pretty impressive. He's the coolest. It's

(11:00):
so cool. I'll be happy. Yeah. I read an article
they're all worried if he's gonna be able to do it,
and he like nailed it like ten times. It was
like boom, take that. That's awesome. Classic Ashley podcast. Guys.
We are all over the place, but I love it.
I think it's fun to just ramble Jared, tell him,
tell him what you did for me. Well, it was

(11:20):
a little uneventful on the actual Thursday because we're traveling
so much, so we just stayed in and ordered in
on Thursday night. But I went to go get Ashley
purple roses because we can't give each other red roses
anymore because it's just too much of a cliche at
this point. And I got her a box of chocolates
and then a box of chocolate covered strawberries. Um, is

(11:44):
that all? Like, yeah, it's okay. And then the next night,
that Friday night, we went to one of our favorite
restaurants in Los Angeles called the Smoke House. You guys
are actually about teenvidence from that there. Now it's burday,
huh is it were two minutes away? Two minutes away?

(12:06):
My Los Angeles geography that well, one of our favorite
restaurants is definitely old school. Feels like an East Coast
restaurant has a parking lot, which is the game changer.
It's so interrated the idea of trying to find parking them.
I always get parking tickets because I'm always parked in
a wrong spot, or I don't read the sign correctly.
It's just horrible. So anyway that we went to go

(12:29):
see the movie, isn't it isn't it romantic? Um? And
so it was like a typical Valentine's Day dinner a movie.
It was fun, though, that's our that's our thing. We
like dinner movies. Yeah, that's our favorite thing. We don't
care how cliche it is. We thought the movie was
so good too. We really liked it was super cute. Yeah.

(12:49):
What is her the actress? His name? I can't think
a rebel, rebel Wilson. Yeah, it was good, it was
it's fun. I thought she looks so pretty in it. Okay,
look beautiful. Okay, So there's something serious we got to
talk about here. Last Wednesday, Culton was groped at his
own charity event in San Diego. Um should I by

(13:12):
a woman? Okay? Yeah? Um? He said after. So basically
what he did was he got groped he was in
the middle of taking a whole bunch of pictures with fans,
and then after this, you know, he was like, no,
I'm not doing this anymore. So he cut the photos
the party short, and he wrote on Instagram that he

(13:33):
didn't sign up to be a piece of meat or
a zoo animal. And he uh said sorry if you
didn't get a picture of the event last night. But
at one point during the event, I was grabbed in
touching appropriately while people were throwing cameras in my face.
I'm a type of person who would have stood in
line for hours to make sure whoever that everybody who
supported the event got a picture. But once that happened,

(13:55):
I had to do it was best for me as
a human being. Uh. It happened at Mavericks Beach Club
in San Diego. The event was supposed to run from
six to nine, but he cut it short and all
the proceeds from the tickets we're going to go to
his foundation, the Legacy Foundation, UM. And he feels really
sorry for I have something that's common about that because

(14:18):
I watched when you were doing you were hosting the
first premiere episode right with some like regular fans, and
I felt it was extremely gross and sexist. I thought,
like the horny woman that like was missing teeth and
saying that, oh Ben is Ben is my um hall
pass or my husband? I was like, if that was

(14:39):
a fifth year old man saying that Ashley I was
their hall pass, we would be like up in arms
saying this is so gross, turn it off. But because
women could like I don't like that. I don't like it.
I don't like it with gay hosts flirting with other
gay men or straight men and the straight men have
to take it. I don't like it when an old
woman is like with to like year old men. As

(15:02):
a mother of boys, I think if we're going to
stand there and want equality, which we do, and and
have respect in the workplace, that should be every workplace.
So I say, good for you called it yea, and no,
such a gross person. If you're going to come to
this thing, have fun, but don't be like some trying
to grab a jump that's so crazy. I'm so glad

(15:22):
you're here to like say things that I feel like
I really can't say. No, I love I love your
comments there, and I want to what that woman was disturbing.
I don't know who picked her out. I want the
old woman that you had to be. We'll be honest,
it was she was a backup because the woman who
was supposed to be the older lady that day her
husband landed in the hospital that morning. But again, why

(15:46):
do we think that's a cute that an old woman
wants to like screw, you know, someone forty years younger
than her. Why is that? Okay, it is really weird.
It's a double stay. It's totally I mean, granted, you know,
people run out of ide is and no one speaks
up to say it's a bad idea. But that's what happens. Okay.
So I wanted to have Jared on the line still
when we had this conversation because after the show, about

(16:09):
a year after Jarry was on The Bachelor. I have
no idea whether it's because he was on TV or not.
He still doesn't know, but he was actually groped at
a club, Babe, tell the story. Tell us what that like.
What's the difference between like a flirty petting and a groping,
Like I don't know, like she grabbed his WHOA, yeah,

(16:30):
I think if you grabbed somebody inappropriately, that's that's groping.
Compared to maybe brushing shoulders or someone before petting, or
like a button tap. This wasn't a butt tap. Even
a butt tap I think is crossed in the line.
Could you imagine Nick die tapping a girl on a button?
Talking about double standards, I don't think any type of

(16:51):
inappropriate touching is inappropriate. Um and so I completed Groth Colton.
We didn't sign up animals. I do think that we
did sign up to be criticized and judge. That's kind
of what we signed up for being a reality TV star.
He can't take the good without the bad. But in
terms of any inappropriate touching, Coleman is absolutely right. There
was one time I was a club. This was uh,

(17:14):
maybe a year after the show. I don't know if
I had anything to be on the show, but we
were at a crowded place and we're getting like to
the bar. You're squeezing in between people and some girls
was so drunk. She just turned around and then she
looked me up and down and then just grabbed me.
I'm assuming you could figure out where, and then just

(17:35):
grazed her hand up my stomach to my chest and
it was it was hold on, I'm having a little
bit of an orgasm right now. Oh there we go.
Um talk a little slower, Jared, please, I handled was
a chest hair trimmed or just just a few hairs? Okay,

(17:56):
all right? But I liked that there. I'm always been
a letical up, so you do. I just I reacted
differently than Colton. I just walked away. I didn't let
it bother me that much because it was just not
to say his reaction is wrong or my reaction is wrong.
I just have a different reaction than his mind. I
let it kind of roll off my shoulders and just
you know, which he did as well, obviously. But also

(18:20):
I'm thinking, we don't know how the show ends, right,
we don't know. You probably do, but I don't know
how nes And so assuming he's with his girl, he
definitely doesn't want to get this to get back to
his girl and cause any problems. So that was another
reason why he was probably like, um, maybe they were witnesses.
Maybe a girl took a photo, and he's like, I
gotta nip this in the butt now that have it
like haunt me later. I was gonna say, it's discussing

(18:41):
either way, whether you're taken or not. But I do
feel like if you are engaged or in a serious
relationship mary blah blah blah, you're probably going to take
it even more seriously eyes or everywhere, and especially in
his case. Yeah, yeah, totally. I mean, it's just wrong
either way. And it's something, uh that I'm glad he
spoke up about because I think it is kind of

(19:03):
something that has been uh clossed over because a lot
of it, a lot of the attention on any type
of inappropriate touching touching women. But I'm glad that he
spoke up and was like, no, women at bars can
be very questioned too. All right, well, thank you, thank you, love,

(19:25):
and you guys don't forget. If you want to come
hang out with JAREDY and Ben will be at Planet
Blue in Malibu, and you can bid on this at
if only dot com. But it's a general mission. You
can come in, just come in and hang, but if
you want to possibly win a private dinner with us afterward,
head over to if only dot com. Will you put
it the info on your stories? Yes, I will definitely

(19:48):
be doing a story on Instagram, so you guys can
like just swipe up on that. Alrighty, I right, all right,
before we move on and breaking to the episode, got
to talk about something that I know Colton must use
because his teeth are so good. Arn his teeth good, Heather,
they really are. Um, he must use Quip. It's one

(20:10):
of the best things you can do for your teeth
because Quip was a toothbrush that was designed to make
brushing simple, affordable, and even enjoyable. I don't love about you,
but I dread brushing my teeth every night just QUIQUI. Yes,
I do. I love it and you like it. I
absolutely love it. Yeah. So before QUIP, I was like,
I don't want to rise bright teeth. I definitely didn't

(20:31):
brush them long enough. Yeah, and they right now they
have the little timer for you. Right. So what I
love about Quip is that it tells you when you
move your brush around. Because I don't know, I'm weird.
I always concentrate on the bottom teeth before I had
the timer, and that I was like, or you or
your favorite one side? Yeah, totally. Um of us don't

(20:52):
brush for full two minutes and they don't clean evenly.
So Quip has this built in timer. It's going to
help you get a full, even clean brush heads are
automatically delivered on a dentist recommended schedule of every three months,
and it's just five dollars to have this. You never
have to brush your teeth with a worn, ineffective toothbrush ever. Again.

(21:13):
Jared was one to the dentist recently, and you know,
he realized that he really needed to start using electric toothbrush,
so I gave him one of my equips and he has.
His teeth has been looking whiter, brighter, and healthier ever since.
And this is something that a lot of electric toothbrushes

(21:35):
don't have. Equip is backed by over twenty dental professionals.
It is one of the most recommended electric toothbrushes. Clip
also starts at just twenty dollars and if you go
to get clip dot com slash almost famous right now,
you can get your first refill pack for free with
EQUIP Electric toothbrush. That is your first refill pack for free.
I get QUIP. That's g et q u i p

(21:58):
dot com slash almost famous. Another good thing you can
do for your health is order some food at Thrive Market.
How they do you? Thrive Market have not let me
tell you about it. It's basically like Whole Foods meets
Costco because you're going to get the affordability of Costco
and you are going to get the quality, healthy ingredients

(22:21):

what's happening. They're like chips, you guys, They're way better
for you. They have them at Thrive Market. They're they're
like some kind of vegetable chip. Oh my god, I
don't even free chips. Basically, that's awesome. Everything if we
Thrive is shipped right to your door and within two days.

(23:07):
Right now you can drive Thrives Markets new clean and
curated clean wine program. I notice a difference with clean
wine versus like regular wine, Like it doesn't have all
those I feel like it doesn't have tannons and I
don't like tannons. Tannons, they're like the thing that well,
you wouldn't know she's never had a drink your entire life,

(23:29):
so no, I know, I have to have some people.
I know some people like that. It's like a certain bite.
Do you feel better the next day if you drink
the Thrive wine. I never drink enough to really feel
the next day, but we should ask some people about that. Um.
But back to their program. It's a program. Each bottle
is meticulously sourced for low environmental impact, it's hampicked by

(23:50):
a wine expert for amazing taste, and is affordably priced.

this one thing where you can make a molten chocolate
cake in your mug with just like two minutes. You
poured in, you mix it up and it's like life changing.

let's get back to the episode. Let's start with the

(24:59):
first date, okay with Taisha? Okay, Well, first, first of all,
I'm shocked that he even liked her that much from
what I saw the last since the start of the
you know, the season. I was like, Wow, I'm kind
of shocked that they like were that compatible. I didn't
really see that he was super into her until then.

(25:19):
So what about on their first day. I do think
that their first date a couple of weeks ago was
kind of forgettable, the one where they bungee jumped. Oh yes,
that's right, the bungee jumped. Oh god. I always think
about that, like what if you really don't want to
and then they're like, oh my god, you really challenge me.
Thank god that we both jumped off this thing together.
It's like, what if you're just like you know what, Hey, Yeah,
I told them the producers, I've scared of heights, but

(25:41):
I'm not doing it. Like I would never bungee core jump. Ever,
I've jumped out of a plane. When I was twenty three,
I did the Tanem sky jumping because honestly, I didn't
have a lot going on in my list, I swear
to God, and I just was like, oh, bucket list.
Like I basically felt like this is as good as
my life's gonna get. So I freaking die come out.
And then after that, I was like, oh my god,

(26:02):
that was so dumb, Like you don't have to jump.
Everyone has to get in a car and drive. Everyone
has to get on a plane and fly across the
East coast in their life. Not am she doesn't do it,
really doesn't fight really okay, Well, and I don't go
in elevators. I know about the elevator. Think Kim Zulziac
doesn't go to elevators. Ye, so, but um I understand.

(26:24):
But like you have to get in a car, you
have to drive it. You do not have to jump
out of a plane, and you do not have to
do a jump bungee cord. So I just I'm like, whatever,
but I think, um, I liked that they've got to
walk around. Here's my question. I'm always obsessed with the
fact that they never eat. They eat in their rooms
before and then they have to have that food sit there.
And only Ari a couple of times when he was

(26:46):
really bored with his dates just went for the second story.
I always ate all my dates. So when they made
that salmon and the Brussels sprouts and the carrots and
he's behind her cutting the carrots like that was so awkward.
I'm like, that is the most I've never in my life.
I've been married eight years. Am I having came around
and try to cut characters with me like that? I'd
be like, are you planning on killing me? While I'm

(27:06):
gonna like turn the knife to me? What the hell is?
I will say? I felt weird watching that too. I
was like, that's different than like being at a batting
cage and the guy like, yeaciously putting his arms aroout
you teach. Yeah. Yeah, but here's my question. I don't
think they got to eat that food either. They did,
they may have it's all your choice. They literally don't

(27:28):
tell you don't eat it. They'll just say, you're not
gonna look as appealing on TV if you're eating it.
I don't know. I think it makes you look real
and therefore more likable. Yeah, I think, I say, but
I don't like her at all. I think she's a
real pitch. What a fecond? This is shocking. You're you chelling.

(27:48):
She's being about these girls? I don't, I don't care. Look,
they're all they're They're all there to be on TV
in the hopes that maybe I'll fall in love with culture.
But I'm doing this too so that I can have
a podcast one day. Is their goal. I love a
question for you both on that, because there's so much
controversy in this episode. Did she say she might want
to be the bachelorette? Don't we think that all the

(28:10):
girls could be saying I hope Colton picks me, but
if not, I hope I'm the bachelor. They're saying that
in their head. It does start drama if anybody whispers
it at all. But they're okay, so they're but they're
just saying that they maybe heard it. We haven't seen
the footage, you know, if they were just sort of
talking about what would you do after this? Well, I'll
probably move to l A like if I don't end

(28:33):
up with Colton, if I don't go on Bachelor in Paradise,
I probably would. But yeah, I'd like to get some
Instagram followers, and I'd like to go on Ashley I's podcast.
I'm gonna go show up at her book signing. I mean,
like it's it is what it is. But couples do
work out you being one of them, you know it does.
But I mean it's dumb to say that you're not
here for the right reasons whatever, all of that, I

(28:54):
haven't less you if one of them said maybe I
would want to be the Bachelor, it seems like you're
all thinking. But also in the formula of this thing,
whenever you're the girl talking about the other girls that
aren't here for you, they never win. They never win,
They're wasting their time talking about the other person. You
should be so confident into yourself that you don't have
to be the little nark going around and telling you

(29:17):
and the other girl Kirby ka Kerpa. Did we ever
find out why she had that band aid on it time?
She there's a mystery as to why she had a
phone or a camera, But she was taking a picture
on a wet rock on the surf and then slipped.
She went to the u e er got six stitches. Okay, well,

(29:39):
I really felt they needed to explain that to the viewers.
It was a deleted scene. They put it on on
Twitter afterward because and then at a certain point, I'm like,
I think I just rayther have the stitches out like that.
That looks so weird. It was just so like really
band aid girls getting a rose. Like I was just like,
I forget it, but we I just had so many
things that I needed to say, keep going talking about

(30:00):
the date with Cash. The date was okay, Okay. Now,
it's just so interesting to me that you are team
Cassie and Kaylin in this episode, because I couldn't be
more team Tasia and the rest of the house. Why
because they're brunettes. I feel it might be a little
prejudice towards the typical blonde spinning girls that go real

(30:24):
far on these shows. That's really funny. It is a
whole different thing. I do feel like the brunettes are underdogs,
and yeah, right for the start, he felt more right
from the start, I was like, Okay, Cassie, the two
beauty queens and the other one that I predict will
next week. Yeah, Hannah gi will go. You think Hannah

(30:46):
is gonna over Kirby, Yes, you can knock at home.
He's going to pick all his like crying. I thought
it was a little dramatic. I'm like, what's he worrying about? Well,
he's so like if I come to the end of
this and someone doesn't want to be here with me,
I'm like, God, you really don't have confidence, like you really.
I mean, it is a little weird, and I do

(31:06):
think and all, and I've watched every season of it.
This is the most women that have left on their
own never had. We're up to like five checks that
are like not for me. Okay, So we had Sydney,
then we had Wait that was bizarre, and now this
episode we have Heather. I mean, this is the moment

(31:27):
that I've just gone on. This is the weirdest thing.
I think Heather knew. She was like, there's two roses,
two girls, says two girls go. I know I'm going,
So I'm going to exit myself to make it look
like I'm leaving with the power because i know I'm
gonna get momented because the second she pulled him aside,
she goes, so, let's be real, this isn't gonna happen.

(31:47):
I'm gonna go home. I was like, whoa. He did say,
I really need to know if you guys don't really
feel it. And so I do think that Heather is
so And by the way, I love that she's Her
name's Heather and she's only twenty. My name is like
becoming Gladys. So like Heather's for Heather's keeping, Heather's hot
for generations to come. Thank you, And for any young

(32:08):
girls pregnant with a child that's a girl or we'll
identify as a girl, please name her Heather. Thank you.
It's my public service and that's my charity. I'm not
a hunt us, but I am trying to spread the
word of Heather. Just saying you can or being in
a middle name. Why not? Do you think she really
didn't feel it? Though? I think she really liked him.
She had her first kiss with him. She's obviously going

(32:30):
to be She's like the hottest geek I've ever seen
in her life. She say, I don't know who she was.
She's tall, very tall, and thin, one hair, never had
a kiss and I felt like he didn't even want
to do it. When I was if, I'm like, if
they don't, if he does not just freaking give her
the kiss, Like if he's like you really think you
should be use someone more special. Thank god he gave

(32:53):
her that kiss and she could like she would have
gone home without being kissed, would have been furious. Heather
as seven year old virgin when it was your first kiss,
Oh my god, that was like fifteen and people are
like the Bachelor kisses so not special. He's kissing everyone.
I'm like, no, at nineteen years old, if you could

(33:14):
tell me, like you're going to have your first kiss
with the Bachelor on TV with fireworks, He's gonna be hot,
it's gonna be epic, I would have been like, sign
me up. Your first kiss is never like who's who
looks at their first kids and they're like, oh, that
was so good. My kiss was so bad. I bit
my own tongue in the process of my first French kiss.

(33:34):
I didn't know how to do it. Yeah, but you
would have wanted to have your first kiss on the show.
I don't remember the person's name. Yes, Um, well sure,
I mean I think the show you know it is
so interesting. Though sometimes I'm like that the girls are
still going on it and want to be on it,
because this is the thing I want to ask you.
Why do you always have to scream and act like
you're so excited all the time. Yeah, that's the same

(33:58):
thing with that. How it's I've trademarked it. It's called
the toddler jumps. They have a name for it. I
thought I was the Koala bear jbe, but that I
called the toddler jump because it's like he's the dad
and the little girls running and then he has to
stay in his spot where it's the camera's blocked, and
then she runs jumps, does the toddler jump. And there
was a really bad toddler jump the other day. It

(34:20):
was with the Kirby girl or whatever. Oh yeah, because
Kirby in her own should never do that. That's not her.
Why did I just say, Kirby, I mess up everyone's day?
So that one I put on Instagram story because it
was like she did it and and he literally like
just squished her back down, like he didn't hold it
like the other girls like Cassie and the other way.

(34:42):
He took a shower or someone he like literally gets
them up there and he's like holding them in the shower,
like got his hands around their cheeks like he's into her. Kurby,
he was just probably afraid he was gonna mess up
her band aid. She had what it's not in Kurbas
personality to do that. Not me. You never did it, No,

(35:03):
I don't, but I can tell she's she did it.
She tried because she was like, I gotta be like
all the other girls. You can never do that neither.
I'm just very obsessed with the infighting. I want to
I want to talk about the in fighting again. Okay,
So just from my perspective, m M, You're right, the
whole wrong reasons thing, I can't do with it. I

(35:24):
can't deal with that. I can't deal with it because
I always say, I've always said from the very beginning,
don't believe in the wrong reasons. You If you are
going on because you think that this man is your person,
you are I'm scared for you, you you know now. What's
what's different is if you get in the bachelor bubble
and all of a a sudden you're there for the right

(35:45):
reasons because you like him so much. That's that's what
you hope for you hope that your initial intention going
onto the show is to have a cool experience once
in a lifetime opportunity, make some new friends, create a
business whatever. That's that's how you should enter with the
open mind that if you like the person, the ultimate

(36:10):
goal would be defined your husband, Like that would be awesome,
Like that would be the coolest perk of all time.
But that shouldn't be your intention. Now. If you get
in the bachelor bubble and then you once you're in
the bachelor bubble, it's crazy because then you stop thinking
about all the things that come with it. I don't
know because when I was on the original show, Instagram

(36:31):
like wasn't a thing, So I can't really speak for
what these girls are like now. I can only imagine
they're like, must make the next week, must make the
next week. That's the next better chance you'll get on
the preparaise. Yeah, so all this didn't exist when I
was on. But the thing is, when you get into
the bubble, if it's all working the way they want

(36:52):
it to, you don't even think about the parks outside
the bubble, because all you want is the batchel. The bubble,
like equal to saying in the house, Well, the bubble
is like in your specific season or is it like
Bachelor Nation. No. I think it's like when you get
invested in your season, when you're like just disconnected from

(37:15):
your outside world, all the people that you know and
love outside the Bachelor bubble, and you start just feeling
all the emotions that happened inside it. And I think
what you what is right at this point, especially in
like this week seven, is that you should be developing

(37:36):
hardcore feelings. And if you are not developing hardcore feelings,
then you have to leave. If you're still thinking about
the perks that you're going to get from the show
and less of the bachel question. Did the girl that
he brought back to his apartment that he she put
on the shirt? Did she spend the night on? They
rolled around on the bed together. I mean, I know

(37:56):
they didn't bone, but like I thought that was kind
of interesting. Does that make sense? Like they're still talking
about like the perks are going to get after the
show right now you're like, oh, you must really not
like him, because I right right now being with him
should sound better than being the next bachelor. You should
like him more then the idea of being the next
Bachelor right right now. I just think it's a lot

(38:17):
of time that you're sitting around. They don't let you,
you know, read a book or watch TV, and you
might just start talking about other things you want to
do in your life, and that might be won't if
this works out, you know. I I do like fashion,
I'd like to start a blog or whatever. And then
someone like she's not here for the right reasons. I
don't know. Okay, all right, well let me say this
because there was another part that bothered me about the
show when they had to meet Sniper the dog okay

(38:39):
on the group date and they're all running and they're
like gushing around. I was I wrote it like, oh
my god, these girls are thirstier than the real housewives,
trying to one up each other when they congratulate, do
congratulations post on Andy's new baby, like every every time
Andy posts about his baby, like forty five of them

(39:01):
reposted it and they like Andy Yes, and they had
And I'm like, that's the way it felt with the dog,
like oh my god, it's you know, there's one girl
in then I was like, not really that into dogs,
but she's like, okay, everything so weird, you guys. This
is what I can't stand about the show and something

(39:21):
that I never not to my own horn hair, but
never did. I never got like overly excited for stupid things,
like like the ice cream, Like we're getting ice cream.
Oh my god, I'm so excited for ice cream. I
never once in my life I've been excited for ice cream.
But I've never been on a date and be like,
we're getting ice cream. Oh my god, ice cream is
so cool. And dogs too, I'll be like doggy. I

(39:45):
literally one time, remember I was we were in Santa
Fe and I saw a dog for the first time
in like three weeks, and it was the most exciting
thing ever. And I was like doggy. I did not say,
oh my god, it's and I just I can't. And
then she's like, got the chocolate on her butt. I'd
be like, oh, I got chocolate, but huh, not like,
oh my goodness, this chocolate on my butt. Oh my god,

(40:07):
this is so embarrassing. Ha ha, this is the funniest
thing ever. I can't do it. I can't. I feel
like it's so fake. Yeah, and then the screaming when
you go to certain places, Oh my god, I mean yeah,
when you have to run down the airport. When you're
doing that and you're walking into a hotel, it's you know,
they tell you'd be like, oh no, I was they
tell They tell you it's just like two couches in

(40:30):
a coffee table. You're like, all right, you're not seeing
the Eiffel Tower like this got a Denver like hill.
I wish like Bitter Old Meat could go on that show.
I'd be like, I don't want to go to Vietnam
and I don't want to Singapore. I want to go
to Denver. I want to go home. Why does it
always like overcast at those places too? Like I want

(40:52):
to be at some places like good Son. It was
the poor girl that was literally freezing. It was like
a blizzard. Was that Rachel Or? That was a windstorm?
Such which show this season? No, this is like I'm
just thinking in the past. Remember Nick Win somewhere like
in the North Pole, but somebody was getting proposed to
and it was like a tornado was happening. Oh that

(41:15):
was Rachel Yeah that was in Spain. To get me
away from here. So that's just all of this is
just so very funny, and I I'm gonna be random again. Yes,
I just got the worst vibes from Kalin and Cassie
this this episode and Calen and Hannah the other handah
that got the boot. They are the two beauty queens

(41:35):
that went up against each other. Correct, Hannah by, Hannah
by and ca the ar chatting me is about beauty pageant. Yes, okay,
here's another thing. When you're all sitting around, you know,
with your glasses and your zick cream, and you're waiting
to see if Hannah Geese her suitcase goes, then Hannah
by whatever and the suitcase goes, I have to say,

(41:57):
you know what, all you girls are great actors? How
not one just like yes, one down, and especially the
beauty queen one like you've got everyone's like like she
was just murdered and you're like, aren't you guys happy?
Like one less is like what you absolutely at this
point too, you should be like celebrating. Its fake. It's

(42:20):
so and that they all could be like oh and
then and the other part. I also hates when they
do the gate the date card and then like okay
Ashley I Heather Ebb and the person is like that
they have to do those little faces like you're like
the ninth name. You're like you're you can't be happy
that you're the ninth name. Okay. I like the way

(42:41):
they just want to say really quick about how many
emails we're gonna get this week about being too mean,
So I already bring them. They're gonna be like me
supporting the women enough. So I'm just saying it out
there that I feel you and you're okay. Listen, these
women after this and got ten years from now, they
can go on seeking sister and wives. Okay, they can

(43:03):
share another man? Then, come on, it's a just dumb show.
Who cares when the fun show? I watched it. I
support the show, ABC, Mike Plice, come on, well, people
are gonna say I'm a hypocrite because I did the
exact same thing. No, you guys, I didn't. I remember
like in week my week five, I got mad at
all the girls because I was like, why do you
want her to get the rose? You shouldn't if you

(43:24):
really like him, you shouldn't be encouraging and happy when
another girl gets the rose. You should be sad. I
told my boys, I go listen if if the show
still going on, and I'm like at a dinner party
with Mike Flies because I've met him once before with
Chris Jenner, but not like you'd remember me. But if
I say hey and like, my son's gotta have something
else going for him, like maybe he'll he'll really go
far in golf or something, and I'll be like, and

(43:46):
they pick youth for the Bachelor, would you do it?
And he said he would, okay, and then he goes.
But I do not want to do a group date
golfing because I know that they'll do that. Mom. I
know they'll be like six girls and I don't want
to do that. And I'm like, oh my god, can
you imagine all the girls like like running down the
golf with their clubs. Yes, but I'm like, please do it,

(44:09):
because that way I'll get at least get to be
on TV once, well, I get to meet me or
the other thing you want to say, kiss and death.
Kiss of death in the series is when he takes
you to meet the parents before you're supposed to meet
the kay it happened to like a couple of ari
Ari brought who did are bring some blonde bimbo to

(44:30):
to Scott's Tales or something? Oh my god, who was
that with the Crystal? Did he Crystal was crystal? Yeah?
And then I feel like I've done it once before too.
Didn't you do it with twins? Yes? Ben did it
with Emily and Haley and Haley went home, Emily stayed twins. Yeah, yeah,
Oh my god. Did you see um Ari's billboard in Phoenix? Yes?

(44:52):
We actually have Arid coming on later in the Juicy Scooper,
listen to my show. They send it to me so funny.
Good for him. Right, I gotta talk about similar things. First,
we have to talk about frame Bridge. If you guys
have listened to this show, you've heard us talk about
frame Bridge before. It's truly the best thing ever. If
you're looking to get something framed, they frame everything, our prints, posters,

(45:14):
travel photos. They just make everything look prettier. All you
gotta do is go to frame bridge dot com, upload
your photo. You can literally do it on your phone. Um,
they're gonna send you packaging if you if it's like say,
you're not uploading a picture from your phone, if you're
doing a poster or something, they're gonna send you packaging
to safely put it in the mail. All your physical pieces.

(45:34):
And then you're gonna preview your item online, you frame

and you get recommendations from your talented designers if you'd
like um. There's also an expert team at frame Bridge
that will custom frame your item and deliver your finished

their ship being is free. Shipping is so expensive and
it comes to frames and stuff like this, but all
their shipping is free, so you're gonna have to worry
about that. And our listeners are going to get even
more of a discount off their first order at frame

saying it. I love this service so much. I would
recommend it to anyone who needed frames. I have recommended

(46:40):
it before. Frame bridge dot com promo code almost famous
again frame bridge dot com promo code almost famous. Wait
can I say something about that? Were I forget about hometowns?
Do you know how they always say like and I'm
always like, what what if you really kind of like
really did have a pretty great home, like you came

(47:01):
from some bucks. Dad's got a boat possibly a private jet,
like when you want to get that out to Colton,
like oh my god, I know you play football, but
like we own a team whatever, like you know, like
I would want to work that in. Well, I feel
that probably feel bad sometimes when people don't have the
great family. And I know I've heard this too, and
maybe you can't attest to it or not that when

(47:22):
they don't, they like rent them a house and stuff.
They kind of helped set it up so it doesn't
so it's not as depressing. There have been times where
like if the family it's like you know, if like
one mom lives there, one dad lives there, and then
we need like a mutual meeting zone, they'll use a
friend's house or something like that. Yeah, and if like

(47:42):
the whole crew can't fit it, that's that's true. I
don't think it happens very often. I want to go
back to when you were talking about how the girls
shouldn't be happy for another when the day card comes in.
I give Cassie props for crying sad tears when her
friend Calin got the get date card this week. I

(48:04):
was like, Okay, yeah, she's made or else she's crying.
This is good. Yeah, but maybe she isn't a phony
that everyone's saying she is. I don't think. I don't
want to sit another day in this house, like I'm
getting bummed out. I missed my boyfriend. I missed my boyfriend. Okay, yeah, yeah,
I missed my boyfriend. She's in the bubble. That's what
she should be thinking, right. I think Cassie is far
more authentic seeming than Calin. Caylin has a mean streak.

(48:29):
She how is she mean? Come on the way that
she reacted to the taste that I guess I could have.
I would have probably reacted in a similar way. It's like, oh,
she's talking smack about me. I'm going to like say
some mean stuff about her right now. But she really
didn't say anything mean. She just saying like it's it's
like I never said it. Show. I'd be like, show

(48:50):
the tape, show the tape. Okay, but those two are
always Clickie, Cassie and Caitlin are always clicky. And the
other girls in the house all feel the same way
about the two of them because they're the hottest ones.
I would have to agree. It's probably Cassie is gorgeous.
She looks like Megan Fox with blonde hair. Yeah, she's
like so naturally pretty. Other girl, Hannah Gee has fabulous hair.

(49:16):
Handed Hannah Gee, the you mean the one that you mean? Kaylin? No,
the handa yes? The other blonde best, the best, naturally blonde,
great head of hair. I know, I know you're probably right.
It's who didn't have good hair? The makeup artist. I
went home early Atlie. Yeah, I thought Alice had good hair.

(49:37):
She's read her. I'll show you a photo, okay, a
little rough to what's our email address? Eastern? Just send
him to me, yes, sen them to Heather. Okay, now listen, y'all.
I thought she's pretty. I just thought, you know they

(49:57):
you don't have hair and makeup people, right, No, but
you have it for the engagement night. I don't know.
I've never been there, but you've got to have asked
somebody assistance on that they do get addressed. And what's
his name? Just so much? What is his name? The
stylist Carrie say, Sandy, Why all right? Well, here you are, guys.

(50:21):
Heather is team Cassie and Caylin, and I am team
the rest of the girls. I don't know you, guys.
I I've had a bad feeling about Caylin a couple
of times, but I've been a little bit scared to
say it because I don't want people to think like
I didn't think she was so amazing and so brave
when she told her story. I do think that I
think it was so important that she did that. I

(50:43):
don't want to take that away from her at all.
It just she's given me some bad vibes. I don't
know if I even I asked that question because maybe
I missed something this season. Why did the two girls
have such an issue just because they were in the
pageant together? No, we never really resolved it. We never did.
And I think that this whole scenario is showing that

(51:03):
Hannaby is the real sweetheart and all of this. I
love Hannah By. Can we talk about Hannaby. Hannaby the
most likable girl in this season. She's so real, she's
really boring, She's not. They had that one deep that
she barely spoke and then finally at the end she
was like, Okay, I have an issue with being perfect.
They still were not like rolling conversation and they were

(51:25):
rolling in the sand like him and Cassie were. I know,
I don't have the chemistry and they didn't have the
communication chemistry either, Heather, I totally agree with you. I
think that she, she and him did not have it.
They did not click. But I just think that she
is the coolest of all of them, right. I love her.
I loved her, and they were meant to be and
it's fine. But I thought she handled her exit very

(51:47):
very well. And I think she's so nice and I
think she's just a little awkward and try around a
guy that she likes. I mean, I thought, of all
of being like the most shocked, she had the reason
to be the most shocked. He brings you to the parents,
and she probably didn't put tune her together that this
is the kiss of death because they hadn't heard this
episode yet. And then you know, and had the one

(52:08):
on one. How could you not think you were getting
that Rose? No, I know, I knew that was going
to be about she just like I love you, and
the Mom's like, just wear your heart on your sleep,
Just tell him that you love him. Otherwise he's not
He's so insecure, he's not going to pick anybody that
he even wonders about. Al Right, guys, um, it's time
to get Carly on the phone. I know I didn't

(52:28):
even tell you that Carly was going to come on
the phone. But Carly Weddell is on the phone because
she has a new iTunes album out of Lulla Byes
inspired by her baby Bella. Carly act hell, Hello friend, Um,

(52:48):
so tell us about your new album. Um throw the
little buys for Bella. The Somewhere over the Rainbow rendition
is so good. Oh my gosh, thank you. I mean, honestly,
it was one of those things where I've been singing
about like since she was in the room, like it
what's weird. It's like people don't remember that I'm a singer,
which is very funny to me. But there's I was

(53:11):
born and it was literally the only thing I could
do to calm her down. So I would sit every
seas night and I was saying and I was singing
this thing. And then I don't know, like maybe five
months ago, I I am, I was like, maybe for
Bolla's birthday, I should put out like a little Wallaby
tribute so that she would always have it, like and
she could look back like she's like thirty and be

(53:32):
like my mom did this for me and like play
me singing to her kids, which would be the cutest ever.
Um So it just kind of started seeing like a
little tribute thing for her. And and now I don't know,
it's just really fine, like I'm singing again and I'm
singing like to my child. But there's nothing better than that.
It's so nice. It's very popular on iTunes. So tell

(53:53):
us how you're charting. Oh god, um, well, baby starts
crushing me, you know because the Shark. But no, it's
like it's on the kids albums right now. It's like, um,
I mean it's like top five. Uh. And then like
they I have one song that I wrote. The other
ones are covers of some of my favorite songs. But

(54:15):
um my song dream Tren like in top ten but
I haven't checked in a while. Else those who knows
that change quickly, but it's just really it's really exciting
to see like something that you did for your kids,
like actually get stuck a round of the plot and
people are saying a thing like a Disney princess, and
that's just like my dream compliment, but you totally do.

(54:39):
That's awesome. What's your favorite track? I mean, so I
love dream Training because I wrote it, obviously, but I
really I love singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow. We tried
to keep this like I had all the lights down
really low in the studio, and we tried to keep
it like a really intimate sound, so it sounds like
I was literally just singing to her. So there's like
moments in Somewhow the Rainbow. I really really love um.

(55:03):
But I think my favorite one was dream Trained, just
because I think it's a catchy tune. And you know,
she looked at me like, oh, this is little City
that's really cute. So cute. What do you guys do
for her birthday? Looks like she had a pretty wild
birthday for a souse. Birthday party is actually supposed to

(55:23):
be on the day of the Grammys, and I went
to Grammys with Jade to promoter or new Plata. Yeah,
I feel like with her birthday for the next weekend.
So we kind of broken up into installments. But I
wanted to be like fairy Land, like mermaid Land, Wonderland.
So we had like a bunch of different fun like
pence for her, and then we had like a mask

(55:45):
cake in front of like fairy Land who dressed as
a mermaid. We have like tall pit like it's just wild.
She's just wild. She's never stopped. She's so freaking cute.
She looks exactly like you. It's like actually bizarre, like
that a one year old can look so much like
one of the parents. You know. What's so funny though,

(56:06):
because when Evan Holster, like I look at I look
at them together and I'm like, oh my gosh, you
look so much like him. And when I see like
a video or pictures of us together, I'm like, oh
my gosh, you looks so much like what's so wild
today is I was like I was sitting with her
making videos for Instagram and I have been teaching her
new things every day, Like I'll be excella, what is that?

(56:27):
I want to say? What is you know? What it wears?
Your nose and now like, for the first time today,
I go, so, where's your nose. I've been teaching to
this for like two months. She's never pointed to her nose,
And I finally I got it on camera for the
first time ever, and I was like so happy in
my voice was so annoying. I'm like, good girl. Cut.

(56:51):
What I love about Bella is like she's the most
even keeled baby I've ever met. She I don't know
if I've ever seen her cry. I mean not that
I've hung out there a billion times, but when I have,
it's only when she like is hungry or like really
tired that she cries. But like, even when she wakes
up in the morning, she doesn't really cry, like seriously,

(57:11):
she sings to herself in her crib, like I have
a monitor on her right now, like in her crib,
and when she wakes up, she's like and she's just
like last night she was singing her crib and I'm
I looked and she was kissing her doll. So cute, ridiculous.
I love her so much. All right, Well, um, I know,

(57:32):
like this is just like a reporter actually needs to ask,
when do you are you thinking about having another one.
Evan and I were just talking about this. We are
planning on happening one more. It was funny the other
day we went to um oh gosh American girl and
build a bear for her birthday. And I was like, Evan,
you realized like if we have another teachers and be like, well,

(57:55):
that's good an American girl and build it there for
her birthday. And then he was like, I don't know
if I can handle another girl. I think we're gonna
have to have a boy. So good girls, I don't
like anything. If we had a boy, that would be amazing.
If we had a girl, that would be obviously like
the cutest thing to have too. Little girls running around
imagining dresses, But we aren't thinking about it. Probably, I

(58:19):
don't know, maybe a little bit later to hear thinking
about trying whatever that means, or just like not pulling out,
you know, the way to be real about it. All right, Well,
you guys canna hear more from Carly on her podcast
Babes and Babies. She talks all things motherhood with our
good friend Jade Tolbert. Thanks for coming on, Carly. We

(58:42):
always appreciate you. You're always a bundle of joy. Um.
I also want to add that we have been reading
Lucy and Clark and felt like keep going and then
well that makes me feel so happy. Thank you so much.
Talk later. Alright, bye, so cute, so cute. All right,

(59:05):
we're gonna get Arian in a second to talk about
his billboard. I'm glad that you have a look some
thoughts on this. Yes, one of my people in Phoenix
or Scottsdale senate to me, Oh, good advertising. Hey, Ari,
what's up? Are you good? How are you? Thanks for

(59:26):
coming on. We are joined by Heather McDonald today and
she has also seen your hilarious billboard and um, yes,
one of my fans sent it to me. And you know,
I am a realtor and came from a family of realtors.
Before you have your life, I did. I've let it lapse.
But I was a realtor from like nineteen years old

(59:46):
too when I started working on Chelsea Cool. Yeah. Well,
I appreciate we were bus bench people and shopping cart people,
but I appreciate the huge billboard. That's really stepping it
up a notch. Alright, tell everybody what the billboard says. Yes,
so the billboards that was the realtor and something that
I kind of came up with while I was on
the show. Um, Lauren came up with the tagline says, um,

(01:00:12):
break up with your realtor. It's okay to change your mind.
So I have to give her credit on the tagline.
So if you guys are you know, not getting it,
it's the realtor as in the Bachelor, and it's okay
if you choose your runner up. A couple of months later,
actually there was some more suggestions on taglines afterwards, and

(01:00:35):
I really like which Now I might move into the
bus them some shopping cart, you know, market, and I
might do one that says, will you accept my offer?
That's cute. Just make an ongoing theme about it, is
Kenny will trouble with the Bachelor for that? No, they didn't.
They haven't even know. They haven't even texted me to say, hey,

(01:00:58):
this is funny, very quiet about it, which is probably
a bad thing. Yeah, when someone's knocking on your door
and you're like, it's another real knocking on my door. No,
you're being I'm just kidding. No, I think it's a parody,
so you can't get in trouble. And also, I mean
you you were, you were the Bachelor, like you should
be able to play with it. Yeah, I would think. Yeah,

(01:01:21):
I mean I think so. I think it's I think
it's just it's all in good fun. It's like my
attention grabber. Honestly, I got the billboard. It's right by
my house in Phoenix, and I got it because I
thought it would be just really funny for social media.
I mean I didn't really get it to get a
lot of calls because, to be honest, it's just been
a lot of prank calls. It was basically I just

(01:01:45):
did it for the Graham. Look, I think it's hysterical.
I think anybody who has a good sense of humor
and doesn't take everything in life too seriously should too.
But how much hate have you gotten for it? Have
you gotten any? And no? Not real? Thank God to
be I wanted it to be a little controversial because
that's what we'll grab your second. You know. It's all about,

(01:02:06):
you know, building awareness, and everyone knows a realtor. And
I think it's just kind of it's funny. I mean,
Laura and I are Mary now or expecting a baby.
Everyone's moved on, you know, so we've moved on. Can
I ask a question? You know, do you get a
lot of people that want to list with you? And
they were fans and they're just like, you know what,
I enjoyed I why not you? I know, I feel

(01:02:27):
like I know you, I like you? Um, and they're like,
honest about it? Or do you feel like or? And
that's one question. And have other realtors tried to like
use that against you too, like don't go with him.
He's really more of a TV person than a true realtor. Yeah,
I mean, I will say is mixed. Um, my client basis,
you know, all um pretty much older, downsizing the luxury

(01:02:52):
and now my client base is turning to be a
little bit younger. So as far as you know, my
listing prices have gone down a little bit. But I'm
I'm listening more so it's kind of great. I think
it's I think it's a double edged swords. Let's talk
about your wedding. Since I haven't talked to you since
your wedding. It's been about a month now. How it's
been the first month of newly wed bliss. Oh, it's

(01:03:15):
been so good. It's been good to be home. I mean,
we who've just been home for the last couple of weeks,
and we just bought a flip house, so we're all
excited about that or kind of in the design process
of how that house is going to look when it's done. Um,
and yeah, I just think good things are seemingly there.
Everything is kind of just how it was before, except

(01:03:37):
now we just have brain put our fingers. Yeah, that's
what I was gonna ask. Jared and I are like
everybody like, are you excited for the wedding. We're like, yeah,
We're so excited for the wedding, But I don't think
it's going to feel any different afterward. Is that the case? Yeah?
For us, he doesn't feel any different afterwards. We just
know that, you know, we're in it for the long haul, obviously,
but we already seen that before. So for us, it's

(01:03:58):
it's more or less, you know. And now I think
reading up the wedding, like you and Jared are probably
planning and planning and planning. Do you have this constant
you know, sort of I don't know this day in
your in your head of how it's gonna look, and
you've been planning it for so long. Someone is over
you will feel kind of like an emptiness because there's
nothing left to plan what happened, and it went by

(01:04:22):
way too quick, and so you know, looking back at it,
we just we always think about, you know, how special
that day with it was incredible. Well, now you have
a baby and a do date to look forward to.
How's Lauren doing. She's doing great, She's feeling great. Um, yeah,
it's it's kind of insane. You know, three three months

(01:04:44):
from now we'll have a little baby girl, soo um,
it's sneaking up on us. For Actually, this weekend we're
going on a baby moon with um with a friend
of ours, to like kind of a couple baby moon
kind of thing, which is kind of going Sedona. Oh,
that's so fun. You can't drink the wine, but that's okay.
She's looking so hot, she's like the hottest mom. She

(01:05:09):
has her days where she gets down a little bit
because you know, I think it's hard when a woman's
body changes. But I feel like she looks really beautiful,
and um, you know, we try to take a picture
every Tuesday and we put it up and it's fun.
I'm sure she feels a lot of pressure to have
to look like Instagram perfect during the whole thing too,
And I think that's the last thing you're going to

(01:05:29):
want to do when you're carrying. Really the way you
get more followers if you look like crap every day,
that's what everyone love. She would take a photo of
her like puky and like yeah, and then everyone's like, oh,
they're so real, let's list with them. Oh that's hilarious. Okay, well,
all right, thank you so much for joining us every

(01:05:51):
time you're here. It's so great. We got some good stuff.
Thank you, and um, we'll probably talk to you, you
know after the baby. Good all right bye? Can I
ask a questions you probably answered on the show already,
but I know that she, you know, got pregnant before
the wedding, which I'm not judging, I mean, that's that's

(01:06:12):
not what I'm getting out. I'm just saying, like, why
didn't they try to like did did they not want
to throw them winning ABC? Did they not want ABC
to be part of it? Do you know any scoop
on like why it wasn't televised? ABC doesn't do weddings
anymore unless you want to do a paradise wedding, I mean,
and in that case, I don't think like paradise wedding
is immediately on the table. But I think, like, if
you want to negotiate a paradise wedding, that's way easier

(01:06:35):
for them. They wanted to be part of an episode,
they don't have to like get more airspace for it
because what happens, or so I've heard, it's kind of
a wash for them. They spend as much money on
the wedding as they make from it, Like not worth it. Yes, good,
good answer. I like you when you I like it
when you asked me questions about the show, asked me
a couple of questions, howther that you think you have

(01:06:58):
pondered while watching the show, and that you think other
fans have have asked but they haven't got an answer for.
One thing I was going to say about Colton is
um when we were talking about that, you know that
conversation that they had where um, it's Calin Caitlin Calin
Caln shared her awful experience in college with date rape
and our assault, and then he he said, you know,

(01:07:20):
that's one of the reasons I stated a virgin so
long is because I was with a woman who was
also a victim of sexual assault. Um. Whatever case that
might have been, but I thought, well, now that makes
so much more sense. Why did it take us this long?
Every girl asked him, He did a million interviews, and
then I guess some people thought it was wrong because
then they could figure out who that person was. Probably

(01:07:42):
why he kept quiet on it. Yeah, I guess. But
then that made so much more sense because he was
the same as like you and I were. It was like,
it's not you always had to tell somebody like it's
not a religious thing. It's just like I'd like to
be someone that I've got to see tomorrow exactly. Just
wanted to be like a boyfriend. I just don't want

(01:08:03):
him to like skateboard past me, like, hey, what's up?
It was fun in the dorm room last night, Like
I just wanted like a boyfriend and so you know,
and it's so hard for people to get that. Oh
what about that other girl? I thought this was interesting?
The one girl I think it was, Cassie says, now
people are going to know, um that I'm on the
show that I'm not a virgin. I'm like, what is it?

(01:08:25):
Just felt I was like, what is this? So she's
actually from a very religious back, so she is Yeah,
she went to a very religious school. Actually did a
little research. The college she went to actually has you
signed as part of like their code of conduct that
you will not have sex. Oh wow. Any other questions

(01:08:48):
that you think Bachelor Nation wonders as a fan? Um, gosh,
Bachelor Nation too much. I don't know. Yes, yeah we do.
It's weird. Oh, I have another thing. How is it that, Um,
if you want, you can just go to the dude's
house like you're dying for a lone time. But if

(01:09:09):
you want, you couldn't just ask your producer and come
over and knock on the door and see him. Sometimes
this will be vague. Sometimes your wish is granted, and
sometimes it's not. Okay, we can read through the lines
on that or sometimes produce. Probably for our story. I've
asked sometimes and I have been denied, and then sometimes

(01:09:30):
I've been granted. Okay. But I always think that really
that really pisces off the other girls is when you
go and just go walking over to his villa. Yeah,
you don't really know where he lives. You couldn't really
do it on your own. Interesting. Oh, but in Chris
Paul's case, you really could go over there by your
by yourself because because he was he was the first. No,

(01:09:51):
he was the first and only bachelor. I feel like
who lived in like the little guest house across the hall,
the hall, the driveway. He was really darn close. Oh
oh my goodness. Well, this is our wrap up news.
