The answer is Ken Jennings' appearance on The Puzzler with A.J. Jacobs. The question is, what is the most entertaining listening experience in podcast land? Jeopardy-truthers believe in... I guess they would be conspiracy theorists.

That's right. To give you the answers and you still blew it. The puzzler. Listen on the eye. heart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Simone Boyce, host of the Brightside Podcast, and on this week's episode, I'm talking to Olympian, World Cup Champion, and podcast host, Ashlyn Harris. My worth is not wrapped up in how many things I've won, because what I came to realize is I valued winning so much that once it was over, I got the blues, and I was like, this is it.

For me, it's the pursuit of greatness. It's the journey. It's the people. It's the failures. It's the heartache. Listen to the bright side on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This is the Ben and Ashley I, almost famous podcast with IHartRadio. It's time to see them in.

Yes, this is one of my favorite episodes every year. We do it twice a year. on the almost famous podcast, we break down the men and women, but now the men who have been introduced to be joining charity on her season of The Bachelorette. And this is how we do it. That's almost famous podcast. We give, well, very.

Ben gives his judgments. I've given up on this a few seasons ago. I know none of these dudes. I don't think I know any of them. He doesn't feel bad at all. We give our first impressions of all of them, what we think, what we feel, what we.

solely based on their photos and also their job descriptions and job descriptions age and all that and where they're from hey these guys there's only 25 of them which is a little bit new for the past couple years

we've had more than 25 yeah I like this I like this too we get a better handle of it they get a better handle it there's probably better quality amongst the 25 not a couple easy throwaways

so are we ready to go down the list Ben we're going to go up and down from these photos we're kind of changing roles you're going to be describing them this time i usually introduce them and describe them and then you give your first judgments but today i'm giving my first judgment yeah you're just judging okay ready one two three i don't know why i need a countdown for all things big in life or little you know like if i just pick up dawson from like the diaper changing table i'm like one two

three all right arin b 29 a software salesman from san diego california now before you go on and describe him. I got to let you know. It's kind of funny. We have two errands back to back from San Diego, California. Next up, we have Aaron S. 33, a firefighter from San Diego. So you can do them both at the same time. Here you go, Ben. Look at these two dudes. Aaron B and Aaron S. We always tell our audience that it's best to listen to this episode with the cast of guys in front of you. So pull up the pictures and follow along with us. So Aaron B is a software salesman. I respect them already. I was one when I went on this show. Beautiful smile

But you weren't really a software salesman You wrote the pamphlets I got promoted based on the show Just because of my title Did you get a real promotion Or did you get promoted? Laterally Both?

No, I got a lateral promotion To software sales after the show Oh, you did, okay Well yeah, you got to use the Bachelor fame A little bit Okay, okay, so does he look like Your standard software salesman? Yeah, he does.

Beautiful smile, intelligent, smart, driven. I see him being a hopeless romantic meaning he's going to try really hard to find love. Now, up next is Aaron S from San Diego, California. I bet they know each other because they have the same first name. And so just when you have the same first name of somebody, you always know the other person. In a whole city of San Diego, they would know each other.

Here's my first impression of Aaron S. Okay. He's a mama's boy. He just looks standard firefighter to me. Like, that jaw line says firefighter. Well, he obviously works out. I said I wasn't going to judge, but he has a mama's boy. I mean, yeah.

You're adding in your opinion, which is fair. You're going to get yourself into trouble again. If I have something to say, I will say. But he's a mama's boy, which typically, I mean, typically means he's going to be a very sweet husband. He's caring. Do you consider yourself a mama's boy? No. I'm kind of both.

You're a mama and a papa boy? Yeah, just like my parents. They're good people. Yeah, I say. Yeah, I like them both. But here's the shocking revelation I have from the first two. I think they both are there in the final eight. Okay.

Okay. Okay. That's not shocking. That's okay. Okay. I get you. I get you. No.

Listen, we have a few fun facts. I do like to give the fun facts. Aaron B., the software salesman. He has taught himself how to play the piano and the violin. He eats peanut butter straight from the jar, just like me. What brand is your favorite? Weirdo.

I only eat almond butter these days. Oh, good, healthy for you. I like Jif. Choosy mom's choose, Jeff. This tin pack doesn't come from nowhere, Ash. and Aaron B also is scared of wasps I mean I don't know anybody that's like I just love was I'm yeah but I'm not really scared of them

you know how some girls will like freak out they're like having a picnic and a wasms land on your shoulder you're not like well I'll be like oh can you please leave you know not like ah you're a wise have been stung by a wasp it hurts like hell I think so yeah I stepped on one I think it was a wasp not I'd be one

anyway Aaron S the firefighter who's 33, he likes his Froyo delivered and he goes heavy on the toppings. I respect this guy. I like him already. His favorite holiday is anyone else's birthday. So I guess he just likes to go out and party.

And his favorite movie is Austin Powers. My favorite movie. I mean, I'm glad that you twisted Aaron S's favorite holidays, anyone else's birthday. Because it sounds very generous. It sounds like something somebody would say to be like, I'm such a good dude.

Well, yeah, good point. Yeah. I just, I don't know. I kind of feel like he's up to something then. Like, there's no chance that he just loves everyone else's birthday above every other holiday in the world. Yeah, that's weird. That's weird, right? And then Austin Powers, Austin Powers is funny, but it, for it to be your favorite movie.

Yeah. And, I mean, and the fact that this dude is like, he's a firefighter, and he's like, I like, fro yo heavy i don't know he likes his toppings i love i'm concerned now i'm concerned all right okay adrian adrian is from north ridge california realtor and what's crazy is that our first four guys on this list are all from california i do think that it's easier from the casting department to cast from california side note all right so yeah north ridge california realtor 33 what is your first impression uh he's wearing a jacket in this photo and i believe believe that his arms are really big underneath them.

That's what I think. I think, again, he has a great smile. I like Adrian's demeanor in the picture because here's what happened. This picture is him with like an elbow on a knee. It's a very uncomfortable position. I know what this is during the photo shoot. They're like, okay, now do this awkward thing where you stick your elbow on your knee and you smile and lean forward.

And most people are like, I ain't doing that. But Adrian goes, I'll do that for you guys because I care about this photo and I care about you all and I want to respect you. And I really want to suck up to the producers. Yeah. So he's a respectful human and I like what I see in Adrian so far. Okay. Well, listen, Adrian is a single father and he comes from a blended household that is of seven step siblings. He majored in criminal justice.

If you could have any job in the world, he would like to be a culinary traveler. He loves top golf, you know, the little golf place that is in nice areas. And then he also has recently had a huge personal health journey and is now a personal trainer. So you were right about the muscles under those sleeves. I ain't wrong about any of this. Keep going. Okay. Are you ready for Braden?

All right. Well, Braden from San Diego, our third San Diego in within four guys. he's a travel nurse he's also 24 so he's really young he brayden is uh is he's gonna love he loves charity already he loved charity before he stepped out of the limo like he showed up to the limo and he said this is my person and i'm here only for her uh and as a result he's gonna get really jealous here's the other thing about brayden just like adrian took the picture with the

foot on his knee they told brayden hey cut both hands around your junk area and take this picture. So it looks like you're cradling your, your sack. And that's what he's doing, which is an interesting look. I wouldn't do that. I think most people would be like it feels like I'm cradling something weird. But Braden's going to be a sweet guy. He's there for charity.

I think he's going to be the guy that gets his heart broken. Like crush. He's 24. He'll be all right. So let me tell you some tidbits now about it. him. I think you bond over this. He loves a good cigar lounge. I do love a good cigar lounge.

He's not into meditation, which I can get behind the statement because I don't think I could get there. Now, if you're talking about taking a long drive of myself to some of my favorite music, I could probably get into a meditative state. Yeah, but I'm not like the kind of person

who could like wig up early, go to the ocean and like, you know, really focus. Yeah, so like I would like to ask Braden, why? Like in the Three things to get to know about you. Why would you put that? Like, why is I'm not into meditation time? He must have tried.

He must have had a lot bad experience. He's like a San Diegoan who's like, I can't meditate and you guys all do it around me. All right. And then finally, he's looking for someone to teach him how to salsa dance, which that's cute. Kio, yeah. These guys are trying really hard. They are. All right.

Caleb A is next. And he is from Ann Arbor, Michigan. He's a resident physician. and he's 29 years old. Okay. So he's a resident. Like, he's going to be a doctor. Yeah, he's on his way.

I mean, he's 29. So he's probably a year out, right? Most doctors start around 30. So, I mean, he's a hard worker. Obviously, he's going to be a physician. I want to know how he's taking time away from his residency to be on this show. That would be an interesting question for Caleb. What's happened there?

dude you really did to go on the show to find love yeah like you're gonna be fine you're a good looking dude um i like i like what he's doing the photo he's he's smiling big he's wearing it like blue on blue on blue so he's really really shining bright with the with the joy colors um i like him i just don't think he's going to be around a while okay well he's working 80 hours a week right now he says as a resident so now i'm really confused as to how he's taking time off. I just never heard that before. Like a resident takes time off to go on the show.

So when my dad was a resident, I was like two to three years. Well, I mean, it was a big span. But when he started, I was about two. And I one time asked my mom, Mom, does dad live at the hospital? And she just thinks that was like the most heartbreaking statement. Anyway, other fun facts about Caleb,

he has a pet salamander that he refuses to name until he figures out the name that fits him best he loves picnics and his guilty pleasure is trash pizza which i imagine is his way of saying chain pizza no trash pizza is like everything on a pizza oh really yeah it's just like anything in the like in the scooper area just throw it on oh okay i can get behind that yeah i like that pizza too i um i am concerned about the salamander uh it's living without a name I don't know how old this salamander is. It needs to have a name, Caleb.

Make a decision. Okay. Next up, we have another Caleb, which is super weird, because I don't remember ever having a Caleb before. Now we have two. And the next one is from Orlando, Florida, and he's a pro wrestler, and he is 24.

You know, I just, I don't think he makes it past night one because I don't remember a wrestler doing well. Now, I do remember on Allie Fittowski's season, she had Justin Rago, who made it a long ways, but it ended up being a massive, massive blowup. Oh my God, it's all coming back to me now. I see the guy so vividly, yes, and she was so, she was into him, but then he had a girlfriend back at home.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Okay, wait, this guy looks, this Caleb B looks like Travis Trett. You see it. This guy is also 24, probably has absolutely no clue who Travis Tritt is. Now, here's what Caleb B is going to do. to us. He's going to show up and he's going to be a lot better looking in person than he is in photos. We know that. It happens every season. But in this picture, he just throws off vibes like

a Travis Trit. Like, hey, if this was the 70s or 80s, you'd be great, man. Like, you'd be there for a long time. Yeah. You'd probably win. But you're a pro wrestler and definitely not in WWE. And so, like, he's probably like a local pro wrestler, meaning he's wearing like the speedo and mask, like jumping off the side of things. You know what I'm saying? I can see that now that you say it. I also see that he's like, would be like a side character and almost famous based on his picture here.

Yeah. So here's what the explanation of him says. And I think this tells us what we need to know. Okay. Caleb B is the kind of guy who loves going above and beyond to make his partner feel special. In one time, he even hand carved a heart necklace out of seashells for his someone. I mean,

how old he was when he did that. I'm, I'm, I want to assume last year. I mean, that's sweet. It's actually pretty sweet. Come on. It's really sweet. If Jared, that would be the cutest thing ever. I'd be obsessed because I'd be like, oh my God, the heart of the ocean.

Oh, geez. Let's move on. This is getting ridiculous. Fun facts. He can't control himself around donuts. He wants to get his paragliding certificate. And he makes a cowboy hat look good. That's how he self-describes.

Yeah, these are all quotes from the people. The fun facts come from the contestants themselves. So Caleb B obviously puts a cowboy hat on and looks in the mirror and goes, I look good. Damn sexy. Yeah. Hi, my name is Enya Emanzor. And I'm Drew Phillips. And we run a podcast called Emergency Intercom.

My name is Ed. Everyone say hello, Ed. I'm from a very rural background myself. My dad is a farmer, and my mom is a cousin, so, like, it's not like... What do you get when a true crime producer walks into a comedy club? I know it sounds like the start of a bad joke, but that really was my reality nine years ago. I'd just normally do straight stand-up, but this is a bit different. On stage stood a comedian with a story that no one expected to hear.

The 22nd of July 2015, a 23-year-old man had killed his family. And then he came to my house. So what do you get when a true crime producer walks? to a comedy club, a new podcast called Wisecrack, where stand-up comedy and murder takes center stage. Available now.

Carrizes from White Plains, New York.

he's a world record jumper he's 27 years old he's a former football star in a small town I like this guy how do you know is it in there I just respect him and I know it no it's in my it's in my fun facts Oh yes I see that and he also wants to be the flash So I think Chris isn't my top four

And the reason is because Chris is obviously athletic He's obviously driven he's well accomplished and he still comes on a dating show that's on television I like Chris and I just feel like when they give somebody a standing photo

it shows like a different type of respect for the contestant like I want this guy to last a while tell me the last sitting photo that you saw tell me the last sitting photo of a guy you remember that went a long way you'll have to go back and test the theory no I just know off the top of my head This guy is going to make it.

Just trust me. Okay. Well, he sounds like quite the catch because he loves to drink wine and binge watch Gray's Anatomy. He also likes to go apple picking in the autumn. He also, his favorite sport is dunking. So I guess like he likes to basketball dunk. I've never heard of dunking.

I hope he wrote. His favorite sport is dunking. That's what it says. Chris, you're a really good athlete. He has two Guinness Book of World Records, one for the highest standing box jump and the other. for the highest standing backflip. You know that he's coming out of the limo flipping.

Sure he is. But my favorite part is I hope that he has two Guinness Book of World Records. And they said, hey, Chris, what's your favorite sport? And he's like, I just love dunking a basketball. Yeah. That's all I like to do. Cannot stop dunking. It's so weird.

I don't know. Maybe you won't be there long. Next guy is Doughton. I'm sorry, Doughton. If I'm responding, if I'm pronouncing your name, right. Doughton. You're from Brooklyn, New York. You're an integrative medicine specialist, and he's 30.

He's super smart. You just look at him, and that guy has wisdom. You know what he's going to be? He's going to be the guy when Charity has all the chaos going on around her. She sits down with Doughton, and Doughton says, Charity, tell me about your biggest secrets. And she tells him, not because he asked, but because he's that comfortable, warm place to speak to.

did you know that his fun fact was that he'd like to be headed the CIA so obviously he can hold secrets no i didn't know that but i just i look at don i go i would tell you everything yeah he does have a friendly face we wouldn't we definitely couldn't hang at um like our audrey's trivia because apparently he's awful at movie trivia same yeah and he loves his air fryer so we could really get down the kitchen so he's up with the times i used the air fryer every night times good for him i like doden he's a cutie all right now we have james he's from chicago and he's an attorney and he's 28 james james is like way back in the outfield in this picture yeah and there's not a reason for he's a good looking dude um he's got a good hairline great comb over it goes from

side to side usually you do a comb over if you don't have a great hairline but he does look he's like he's fine in that territory right now yeah he might do a too aggressive comb over over like his comb over goes from high fade to like upper ear on the other side you know what I'm talking about like it looks like a if you didn't know any better it looks like a toupee yes yes yeah it does look like a toupee um James is uh a good looking guy I like what he stands for I like who he is here's James's problem he's too quiet he's an attorney he analyzes situations more and and then as an attorney what's going to get in the way is he's only going to going to speak up when there's controversy and

conflict. So he's only going to be known for his controversy and conflict. And as a result he goes home early. Okay, okay. So he knows enough friend, she says, to get himself in trouble, which I wonder if that means... I hope he says it out of the limo. Does that mean like he's going to woo a girl, like

that kind of trouble? Or is that like he's going to get in trouble? I think he thinks he's going to woo a girl by speaking very bad French. He's also an Olivia Rodrigo Stan. And Man, I'm getting old because I remember when she was like 16 singing songs. Well, you know, she's still quite young.

But the thing that is like kind of alarming is that for his third fun fact, he gave us this boring tidbit that he's tried everything to convince his brother to get a tattoo with him, but he still won't budge. So if somebody said, hey, what's the three best facts about you? You're like, I almost once convinced my brother to get a tattoo. You mean he had to make it about someone else. no i'm saying he almost like oh i almost once convinced them yeah i have this story of this one time that it almost happened that's like a top three thing in my life come on he's gone early he's gone early joe from san francisco he's a tech operations director and he's 32 um jo's studd he is uh another good comb over going on with joe it seems like a trend right now

I think of this Joe's cute. I come over to cover up my power alleys. These guys are combing over for no other reason other than, I don't know. They think it looks good, which is great for me because it's coming back in style. And I feel like over the last five years of my life, I've really owned the comb over. Ben, I feel like your hairline hasn't budged in a couple of years. I actually feel like it's gotten better since Jess. And I tell her that because of lack of stress.

Yeah, lack of stress and lack of love, you know. But once I'm at her, my hair grew back, I'm looking good. Joe's around a while I think he's got a good personality I think he's a big personality Joe is a little older for this cast he's 32 and so as a result

I think he has some wisdom I also think he's a fun guy like he's a guy you want to chill with and like he's going to be a friend in the house okay so everything sounds good except for when I get around the fact that he likes to tear it up at an EDM music festival

that I'm like uh nothing Thanks. He's a proud plant daddy, and he's going to be the most excited in the world when he walks into the Bachelor Mansion because he says the best gift that you can give him is a giant tub of peanut M&Ms. It's always there. Well, budget cuts up. A giant tub of feta M&Ms that we all could not stop eating. Yeah, but how sad is it going to be if that's part of the budget cuts? It's going to be like Nella Wafers or something instead.

It's going to be like some crap cookie. Here's a worther. He also said there's nothing you can do to convince him to go bungee jumping. It's not going to happen. So they're definitely going to put him on a bungee jumping day. I hope he says no. I don't know if anybody's ever done that. Would you bungee jump?

No. I would have said no. Would you jump out of an airplane? I always say that those are like, you jump out of an airplane but not bungee jump. Yeah. The airplane for me feels a lot better than bungee jump. Really? See, I'm the bungee.

I don't want to do either. But I think the bungee jumping sounds better. but over water not over like stone yeah i mean i i i don't know if i choose either but i'd much rather jump out of a plane in fact i bet at some point my life i'd do i feel like you would do it if you hadn't but bungee jumping heck no joey he's from hawaii he's a tennis bro and he's 27 he's kind of swoony huh where is he oh joey yeah he's cute yeah he looks like a country singer sure he could be well i mean he was Not a Travis Tritt, though.

Not a Travis. I mean, I was going to say, well, modern country singer. Joey, Joey's there for a long time. I think Joey brings something to the table that a lot of these guys don't. And he kind of brings that chill vibe is what I'm saying. A lot of these guys are going to try really hard.

Joey cares that he's there. He likes charity. He's into charity. He finds her an amazing partner. But he just, he's kicking it. Like, he's just there for a good time. And she's going to be attracted to his last. of pursuit.

Okay, his lack of pursuing her? Sure. Okay, because he also left the corporate world, so he's not like pursuing a hardcore career anymore because he decided to move to Hawaii to just live out his passion of teaching his favorite sport. So he kind of is that go-with-the-flow guy that like, I'm going to put like my love and passions before, like, work.

He's also a die-hard Green Bay Packers fan, an avid stargazer. Oh, and he's obsessed with golf and. and country music. I knew he was going to be there well. All right. John from New York City. He's a data analyst and he's 27 years old.

That's what I started out kind of doing. John is really, really smart. I can see in his picture. He's just looking at this photo being like, I cannot believe I found myself in this type of place where I'm dating one person with 25 other dudes. I don't know how I ended up here. I didn't want to end up here, but I'm here.

And as a result, I'm going to crush it. I think John's going to be there in the top six. I could see John being with charity. And I see him being a steady force in the house. I think she looks at him and says, that's husband material. That's what I see in John. He loves rereading the Harry Potter series. He has been to five of the seven continents so far, Ben.

I feel like you've been to five, seven continents. Three. Three. Three. Not five. So America, you've been to South America. You've been to Europe. Yeah.

And then you've never been to Asia? No. And then there's Antarctica. And then what is the other one? Like Africa. You never been to Africa? Never been to Africa. That's crazy, Ben.

Yeah. I feel like you would definitely, you're going to put, you're going to do Africa soon. Okay. So he also loves to treat himself to a well-crafted nagroney. And he likes to listen to. sad pop music at the gym I get that I listen to sad music at the gym really freaks Jessica out

yeah comments on it often yeah I get it I listen to sad songs so I can like push my pain away you know like press my pain away and I lift such heavy weight that I just feel like I'm you know lifting my stress off my soul

like you listen to like acoustic sad songs or like power ballads because power ballads I can get behind no like acoustic sad song It's so weird at the gym. Yeah. Oh, Ben. There's so much in your head.

Okay. John Henry, he is from Virginia Beach and he's an underwater welder and he's 30. So he makes bridges, right? Well, he does a lot of things. I mean, he probably just probably bridges and boats and all that stuff. He would also be responsible for like welding like when an oil tanker like, like anything underwater that he has to like stick fire on. That is so. crazy. So he's basically scuba diving while working. It's one of the most dangerous jobs.

That's scary. Yeah, he's a stud. He's cool. He shamelessly loves pumpkin spice lattes. He prefers ornamental grasses over flowers. And he's only, oh my God, he's only seen 20 movies in his whole life. So he's a liar because there's no way.

Yeah. You do. Yeah. I don't know. I mean, John's a tough one for me to read. Here's what's going to happen. He's going to come out night one and charity's going to make some comment like, oh my goodness. that guy is great. He smells good.

I know he smells good. He has to shower all the time because he's underwater. But John's going to break her heart. Charity is going to be in tears over John, not because he mistreated any situation, but because at some point

Okay, so Josh from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, is a Harvard grad student. He's our token, Harvard boy, and he's 28 years old. now he he gave up on a lucrative career on wall street and a grad program at

Harvard oh so he he's not currently that either um but that was his official title because we have to have the token Harvard boy um so he gave all that up to work for a non-profit building international affordable housing yeah Josh Josh knows he smart and he is and that's gets him in the trouble is he just he knows he's smart and he can i mean tell me the last time we've had an ivy league grad do well in a season not often you don't throw an ivy league grad inside the bachelor world and tell him to succeed it just doesn't work we're all not intelligent enough to deal with him yeah oh my gosh okay well he's camped in 27 national parks before the age of fill in the blank bed don't look at your notes

he looked six years old six so his parents were enthusiastic campers his favorite holiday is easter and he loves a sunrise hike i can respect a guy that celebrates jesus so yeah yeah he sounds like he actually he sounds like he could be your next partner in business in nonprofit work hey josh i know i crushed you you're just too good for the bachelor but you're not too good for generous come on over all righty so now we have caleb our third i think And final, Caleb, he's from Norcross Georgia. Yeah, this is Caleb with a K. Yeah, this is Caleb with a K.

This is crazy that we've never really, we've had Caleb's, but we don't have a lot. But now we have three. Caleb with a K is from Norcross, Georgia, and he's a construction salesman. He's 26. He's tried really hard in his life to figure himself out. He's had to work really hard for everything he's accomplished.

That's an amazing quality in somebody. But he's coming into the bachelor still, Bachelorette, still figuring himself out, which means he's not ready for marriage, but this show is going to propel him. And we will be talking about Caleb with a K, getting married to somebody either from the beach or in real life within the next 18 months.

That's so weird that you said that because I was like, this guy has the face of someone who's successful in paradise. Sure. He would love to coach high school football. He's personally one of those people that is offended by mayonnaise. It's really a 50-50 thing out there, isn't it? offends you about mayonnaise. I'm fucking love mayonnaise.

Mayo is like my favorite condiment or anything mixed with mayo is my favorite condomit. Mixed saracha with it. Mixed ketchup with it. People either love mayo or they hate it. I like it on certain things. With certain things. French fries.

Breaded tenderloins. Um, a deli sandwich. Of course. Yeah. That's what I'm talking. Those are the normal things. I don't know. Tenderloin.

Like you talk about like a tenderloins? You know, You don't even know what a beef tenderloin is? No, you don't. You don't know what a pork tenderloin is. Yes, it's like a pork chop. No, Ashley, you're so wrong. What is a fork tenderloin then?

If you go to Indiana or Iowa, you're going to order a breaded tundoline. A breaded for all my Midwesterners out there. It's different than a pork job. They take a pork chop, you pound it out, you bread it, you stick it between a bun and you add like, usually like pickles and cabbage and relish on it, it's the best thing you've ever put in your mouth. Okay, that sounds good. It definitely sounds like something I've never had, like in a sandwich form and pounded. I love a pounded. I love a pounded meat. Piece of pork. You love a pounded piece of pork. Okay. So he doesn't like Mayo and he wants to visit South Korea. That's cool. And learn more about his heritage. Okay.

That's great for him. Yeah, that's cool. Yeah. All right. So, Khalid is from Dearborn, Michigan. He's a tech recruiter and he's 28 where is he let me see him we got him pulled up there oh he's a troublemaker you knew it I do I think he's just he's a little bit of a troublemaker he's literally looking at the camera being like I'm here to stir

the pot yeah he might be that guy right okay so here's the thing with his picture there's two ways to go about this either he is so sweet and so kind and so innocent that like he's going to be your favorite person this season or he's looking at the camera being like, I am about to mess everybody's world up.

Like, I'm about to stir the pot. And I'm going to go as sweet and innocent. I think he is going to be everyone's favorite in the house. Okay, what if I told you that he likes to read gaming magazines? Then I say yes. He's going to be like the sweetest boy. Okay. And then he also would like to have the ability to teleport.

And he would love to have his own. farm one day Yeah, tell me that's a bad dude He wants to raise his little goats Chickens Pigs, cows, horses And you know what he's doing it for Because he wants to just like pet them and tell him

Hello He doesn't want to have your pork roll sandwich My tenderline Yeah, sorry, I'm so jerseys Pork Roll sandwich Okay, Michael is from Chicago, Illinois He's a yacht captain in and he's 28.

I mean, that's a job and a half. Yeah, that's cool. Yeah, so here's... He probably tries to use that yacht all the time. Here's the problem with Michael. Here's my problem with Michael. And it's not a problem with him personally. No, it's not a problem with him personally.

It's more of a problem with how I think his life has grown. Is he is surrounded by very wealthy people all the time. And when you're surrounded, like, you know, your friends are who form you. And so if you're surrounded by wealthy people, you feel like you have to be wealthy. And Michael probably does great for himself, but he's not owning his own yacht, right?

Right. And so he's needing to act like somebody. Maybe he isn't. And I think that's unfair to Michael because I think Michael, given the right situation, could be an incredible human, but he's not ready for it yet.

He hasn't been surrounded by people who love him for who he is and for his lack of money. maybe not because he has money very intuitive of you now this fun fact may go off of that he collects cologne and so like he mixes it up yeah like he like thinks it's kind of bougie nice to have a wide array of colognes yeah that's a problem right i mean he's it is so like serious about all the jokes that he makes yeah it's a big problem and then he also loves his rainwater shower which we all appreciate.

Yeah, but again, he's bragging about his items. I know, it's his items. And like rainwater showerheads are only in like the nicest hotels and in very new constructions. I even have a new construction and like our showerhead. It's not there. You need to install your own shower head and it needs to make sure that your house has really good water pressure. Sure. I wouldn't be surprised if your next fun fact is and he just loves caviar and crackers on a beach in Paris.

Even though Paris doesn't have beaches. That's not it. But he says that if you like mushrooms on your pizza, that you can't date him. He doesn't want to date you. So my thing is that he should probably go up to. He's anti fungi. And he should ask Charity if he really means this right out of the limo, do you like mushrooms on your pizza? And if she was like, yeah, then he should be like, well, I guess I got to go.

I would love to see that. That would be an amazing entrance. After this fun fact that he's put out there for the world. Yeah. I don't know. I don't think he's around very long. All right. Nick from Bayonne, New Jersey. That's where all the cruise ships dock, HR executive, and he's 32. I love this guy. I think he's in my top five. Is it because he has pastel pink shirt and blue pastel pants? With a watch. He looks like a guy that came ready to play. I just like him. Yeah.

Check him out. His posture does not. look like one of a man who came to rock this? No, because he's calm and humble. He's humble. He's humble. He doesn't want to show off how big his shoulders are. He doesn't care. He's just in for it for the love. Nick's in the top

eight. He's sweet. He's kind. He's a leader. He's considerate. And mostly what Nick does is Nick focuses on the little moments. He hears the small things, Charity says.

Like, if she's in passing, it's like, I like butterflies. There's butterflies showing up to her room the next day because Nick cares. I can't believe this. I also can't believe how many guys we still have. Okay, we have like seven more. Stay with us, people. These fun facts about Nick are actually truly fun. He's terrified of tigers, which terrified of tigers is honestly something like we should be sort of scared of.

But it's never something that we think of when we think about our like animal fears. I would say, I'd say. I'm terrified of tigers going extinct. I love tigers. I don't want to believe. Cigures are gorgeous. Yeah, I don't want them to go away. That's what Nick should add it there.

I'm terrified of tigers going extinct because they're in trouble and we need to protect the tigers. I agree with you. Now, five years from now, he wants to live in Shanghai. So that's definitely a conversation he and charity are going to have. And finally, in my favorite fun fact of all the guys' fun facts is his favorite local eatery is, Walmart. Does that mean Subway? Isn't it subway in every Walmart?

There are subways in a lot of Walmart. There are McDonald's in some Walmarts. I guess he just... It's not even like Costco, because Costco would make sense where he goes around and gets a whole bunch of samples. He's admitted to stealing. And then he gets like a $1 hot dog.

He's admitted to stealing. Because he goes into the deli and grabs a sandwich walks to the back aisle when nobody else goes and eats a sandwich. And he calls it lunch. huh? What else is he talking about? I don't get it. Ever have Nick on our podcast? This is the first thing we bring up. I don't get it. I mean, is he buying food at McDonald's? Like, is it McDonald's subway or is it Walmart? Like, I've never seen a Walmart where I could eat at. Someone call this man up. Is he trying to be funny? Like, I don't know. I love Nick, but I'm confused. Maybe he's trying to be funny because he does live right outside New York City. So you have the New York City food. And then you also have Jersey food, which is fantastic, so rich in like a town.

and he says Walmart. I don't know. I like Nick. I still think he's around a while. I have a lot of concerns. I have lots of concerns. Peter is also from the New York area. He is from NYC.

Oh my God. He wants to be pilot Pete. He is an airline pilot. He's also 33. I feel like Pilot Pete's 33. And they're both living in New York City. Send him home. He's ready to find his co-pilot, of course.

Yeah, send him home. We can't have any more pilots as leads. uh one we just it's it's it's now not a thing we've already had two he kind of looks like pilot p like he's kind of cute i mean but yeah and that boy next door charming sweet yeah that's nothing wrong with his face yeah i don't know i mean a great job i'm glad he keeps me safe and if he flies my plane home tomorrow he's a commercial airline pilot yeah it's a big deal uh he also describes himself as the life of the party i do not want my pilot to be the life of the party. He says that he's a good point. I don't like that either. Today on the airplane, I saw my

pilots getting served their breakfast, like entree. And I was like, excuse me. Hopefully he didn't have mimosa's with it. And you like just fly. Aren't you superhuman? You don't need to eat. Peter also is addicted to chapstick, never loses in Mario Kart ever. And he loves to play pickleball. Yeah, he's not, we don't need it to focus on Peter. He's going to go home. He wants to have a partnership with chapstick and he's going to like put it on before every kiss with charity. That's sweet. Sean is from Tampa, Florida.

He's a software sales rep and he's 25. Another man with your kind of job. Here's my question with Sean. And if you're listening to this, you need to open up the pictures. Is it just mirro to Sean look like Justin Timberlake with long, like blonde highlights that didn't work yes he does oh my gosh look at that cut that off cut the hair off and those are justin's brows but then what's he doing with his hair like I'm the hair's bad is it natural no it looks like it's faded it looks like what I saw he did a frosted tip and

it was platinum and now it's faded so one has dark hair one spring break when I was in high school everybody was doing the frosted tips so I put lemon juice in my hair and went to the beach it turned out that color yeah exactly it's like a reddish orange blonde it's almost what my hair looks like is my hair just hates to take highlight it looks like the hair that people get when they're like 80 you know when they dye their hair and it turns like burgundy or purple i don't see that often is that a lot is the last time you visited a nursing home i feel like it's an indiana thing as well well anyways Sean's Sean does look like Justin Timberlake if he shaved his head um

I feel like this dude could rock it But he needs a haircut And then he could be really cute And a different pose Let's see He's young, he's 25 He doesn't even know Justin Timberlake's heyday

He's a self-admitted Terrible texture Okay That is not always the best thing In a new relationship He likes to dip his chocolate chip cookies In whole milk Who doesn't

Who doesn't And oh my gosh God, we didn't even see this before we started ranting. Sean takes pride in his great head of hair. Well, Sean, if you're listening, here's my advice. Say that hair, tell that hair goodbye. Just the color. I mean, the style isn't the greatest either.

Yeah, I mean, he has like a, I mean, a side comb over going. Like, it's fluffed in the top to the, like, so if you, if you wet it is, his hair down and let it fall on his face. His, the front of his hair is six times as long as any other piece of hair on his body, on his head. The cut isn't very, um, meet Joe black. It's 90s, 90s movie star. And here's the deal.

If at 25 I'm bragging about how good of a head of hair I have, like find something else. Most people have a good head of hair at 25. Yeah, you're not interesting if that's your one of your three fun facts. Come on. Sean's gone Hi, my name is Anya Emanzor And I'm Drew Phillips

Oh, he's a single dad. So this is what I'm going to say. Spencer looks like Yosef. And he had a daughter. He had a daughter.

People still talk comment on it. Remember how he like prided himself and like, you are not the role model that I want for my daughter while he was being the worst role model? Yeah. So here's my deal. Spencer is going to be better than Yosef. But along the same lines. But probably a villain.

Yeah, probably a villain. His hero is Anthony Bourdain. He likes. Oh, I like it. Wait, never mind. Spencer is an amazing guy. I like Anthony Bordane. I'm reading a book.

I'm reading a book about him right now. Spencer, he dreams of running for political office one day to help his community. Of course he does. Of course that's why. He's a sweet man. He might be Yosef, but also he's a sweet man.

Well, he might be Yosef, but like the Anthony Bourdain thing really kind of throws me off. I feel like he has a really a big depth to him. Or does he like want to be perceived as the guy that's world? Well, here's the deal. If Anthony Bourdain was on The Bachelorette, he wouldn't make it past night one because he would say something that would make everybody mad.

So like he's probably going to be the same way. Okay. Well, Tanner is up next. And here, hold up. Spencer wants to travel the world like Anthony Bourdain. And what he doesn't know is this season ever left the United States. That's right. Because budget cuts.

Tanner is up next. And man, does he look like a Tanner? Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, he's a mortgage lender, and he's 30. But wait, it says that he's a fitness, he's a mortgage lender, but also a fitness instructor. And he's both. He's a well-rounded human. He is a good dude. And I think Tanner will be around a while.

I think Tanner might sneakily be like a Tyler C type character. I mean, maybe not so much out of a romance novel, but. You mean... Looks twice. Kind of looks like him. I understand what you're talking about it. It's right there. It's that little like divot while he smiles.

Yeah. Well, we'll like this about him. His family has rescued over 50 dogs. He hopes to rescue more with his future wife. And anywhere in the world is the happiest place in the world for Tanner as long as he's with his golden retriever. So we're going to hear a lot about that golden retriever. Great.

His number one enemy is a messy kitchen. And he loves, oh, God, this is weird. He loves giving high fives. What? Could you imagine writing that about yourself? You know what I love? A good thumbs up. Big thing.

I do thumbs up a lot in my life. But do you love it? No, I never think about it until I'm doing it. You're like, hey. He loves giving high fives. Oh, no. So funny. Okay, so Taylor actually reminds me of Justin,

Timberlake. Taylor is from Springboro, Ohio. He's a loan officer. We've got another loan guy. And he's 32. Looks a little bit like Justin from this point of view. You see that? I see it. There's a lot of Justin Timberlake looks like. Like we got Justin Timberlake in the 90s. Justin Timberlake in the 2010. Yeah, exactly. They're both very much showing Justin Timberlake vibes. Different eras. Different eras, different looks. Uh, I, you know, I like Tyler or Taylor. I think Taylor, um, is a funny dude. Like, I think he is a guy that just wants to see everybody else happy. Here's the problem with that guy. Nobody takes him serious. She doesn't take him serious. She likes him for a bit, but that fades. Okay. Here are Taylor's fun facts. He takes forever to fold his laundry. He follows the Renaissance periodization diet. it's all about macros baby he says i know nothing of this and taylor likes music that you can oh god oh no oh no maybe he does think he's just in tiber like of 2006 when future sex love sounds came out

because this is his final fun fact taylor likes music you can bump and grind to you know what that means right you think that you want to explain it no oh i mean i thought it was like grinding like high school prom yeah but you know why guys like that because they get little boners yeah little i mean i don't know i mean neither regular size boners i just think you're on high schoolers so i like need to say little yeah so like what he's pretty much saying is he's just like down to like do the just down to pop boners in a ballroom like butt to hump like he's down for the butt to hump and that's weird for me like you don't admit to that like i didn't admit to that like i didn't admit to that to that in middle school. I wasn't like, hey girl, I love to grind. Like, like, that's a weird

comment to me. Do you think they still grind today? Yes. Yes. There's a place. There's a place near my, near my hometown and called Tippy Dance Hall. Tippy Dance Hall was packed full of middle schoolers every weekend. Why? Because they like to grind. See, we had the firehouse. But nobody admitted to it. Like, it was just a like unspoken rule. Like, yeah, this is how we dance as middle schoolers. But when you become. I'm a Taylor as a 32-year-old man on the Bachelorette. What's he going to say is, hey, Charity, you know what I would really love? And we put on some nice 2000s music and we grinded.

Like, that's an amazing fantasy suite. Like, hey, I don't want to do anything else other than a little like bump and grinding, baby. I ain't got nothing wrong. This is my favorite analysis that we've ever had. With a little bump and grinding. I don't see nothing wrong. like it's weird Taylor This is so weird

Because I'm thinking about him now In his hotel room during casting weekend Being like What are things that you enjoy And he says music I can bump and grind to Either Taylor hasn't gotten any action In the last 15 years That's the only way he gets it

It's like at Or he's been dreaming of that moment Yeah Or he's the one the guy That goes up to the club And he's like your creepy friend Who always makes you feel awkward And he like

Wiggles in between women And like tries to do it it. Taylor, get better. It's get better. I wish we could end the podcast on this extremely high note, but we do have two more guys. Yeah, but you know it would be better for Taylor.

What? If he learned to go front to front, walked up to somebody, said, hi, my name is Taylor. I'm obviously good looking. You're good looking. I would like to talk to you.

Can I buy you a drink? So we can converse as adults. And then later we can. Sure. I feel like, Jessica and I've never danced and grinded. Never. Never done that either. Like,

yeah. Could you imagine? I was, I'm gonna ask you. I think the last person in the world that I can imagine grinding is me and Jessica. Never. Never.

Like, oh yeah. I did it once at high school and it was like, it grossed me out in the moment. And I never talked to my promonted again. And we ended up going to the same college and I, poor guy. Whenever I'd see him from far away,

I dodge him. So here's, here's my take on Taylor. I can never take him seriously. Okay, me neither, because we're always going to think of this. And we should make it a habit of reminding people on every podcast that he's still around for. Okay. Warwick, he's from Nashville, Tennessee, and he's a construction manager who is 27 years old.

What a stud. He's cute. He's got great hair. He's the only one here that wore like a normal everyday shirt, too. Really? I don't think of that as a normal. That's like the least normal everyday shirt of everybody. style. Everybody else were like blues and pastels. That's a better way of putting it. Definitely shows that he has his own style. People are going to love Warwick. He's cute. He's not going to put charity, but you know he's going to do. He's going to be the guy on the beach. He's got, you know, he actually has great hair.

And Xavier's going to be around a while.

He's in my top five. Oh, see, I was concerned that he was going to be the guy that was so sweet but had no swag. So then he was the kind of guy. that like said he's going to know what he wants you which can i kiss you can be done many ways and sometimes it could be sexy but i wasn't sure he was going to pull it off in sexy way here's the thing with zavier he could look at charity and be like can i kiss you because i've been waiting for this moment and she's going to be like kiss me now oh my gosh ben's losing it we've been doing this for too long now what do you think about this xavier enjoys knitting i like that move i

You always have a nice little cardigan on, which is adorable. I'm so much more swag than Mr. Rogers. Okay. Yeah. Don't pause. Yeah. You should just say yes. No, yes, you do.
