Ready? This is the Ben and Ashley I, almost famous podcast with IHartRadio. I'm sitting back right now. I'm in sweats because I just feel like it's kind of the off season. Like we've worked so hard for months.

And now it's like just like a Saturday, even though it's not, it's like a Saturday afternoon, the sun is shining, our feet are up. And this is just a podcast. that we've got to chill and kind of just talk about. But instead, the freaking Bachelor has to make this an exciting podcast because they release the guys. Hey, Ashley, what's up? Oh, hey, I'm always in sweats here. I'm like the most unprofessional person in the studio.

I'm like, I'm just sitting here not on camera. If I'm not on camera, I look like a bum. You know, it is kind of the thing with this podcast, too, because we do get guests in studio often, but not all the time. But even when there's guests in studio, I used to kind of get anxious and nervous, just depending on who it is. I don't get that very often anymore. Yeah, I'm kind of used to it.

I was a little nervous with Hannah G, though. I wore makeup for Hannah G. Because I was like, I don't want to look gross next to her. What were your thoughts on Hannah G real quick? She was just magical. You like her, don't you? Yeah. Yeah.

I did too. I thought she was great. I thought she was a lot. She has this, like even on this podcast, she was terrific. but I felt like she could even have let loose a little bit more. Like, I bet when you get her, that girl, like, out, like, having fun, she is hilarious. Yeah. Like, absolutely hilarious.

Yeah. Yeah. I love their personality. So great. Does it make you question your initial thoughts that Hannah B was the right choice? A little bit, but not. I feel like they're kind of tied now. If I had known that Hannah G before the decision was made, then I'd be like, oh, I'll be happy either way.

But it doesn't mean that I'd rather it be her than Hannah B because I just really, resonate with Hanna B. I know. And I'm excited. I wasn't initially excited, Ash. I think when I first heard the Hanna B announcement, and then I kind of saw her on that live TV, I was like,

oh, no, this is going to be bad. But as usual, you come up with this good, like different perspective. They're like, no, she's relatable.

She's like everybody else. She's nervous. She's excited. She's like me. And now I'm pumped. Now I think she's going to be great. I'm all in on Hanna B. I'm like a disciple of Hannaby.

I like really a spreading word. And tell me if I'm wrong, Ash. Hanopi shows no signs of wanting to be famous. I agree. She really doesn't to me. Like, you know, there's always this level where you can kind of read through and see how often you post on social media or what you're posting on social media or what you're involving yourself in and who you're talking to and who you're not and all these things that you can kind of always see with the contestants or the bachelor, bachelor, bachelorette. Hanabee doesn't have any of that. I think she has none of that.

And I love it. I agree So there's so many agree There's a couple things that came out this week And we'll end with the big one But some people were asking Who Chris Harrison was talking to on the phone After Colton jumped the fence

And I was surprised by this answer It was actually the franchise creator Mike Flyce And he was updating him on the situation I'm like Fleiss is often not there on set he's like usually in Hawaii or something he pops in every couple couple weeks right when'd you say I mean you're the lead you probably saw him more often uh you know on my season it was different because he had to be in the US for whatever reason for a while but yeah most of the time he lives in Hawaii now

he's not around very often and when he is around even the lead doesn't really see him you get a rumor like hey Fice is in the control room but you don't you don't see him yeah he walks around with sunglasses on flip flops all black you would have no idea I think it's kind of interesting that he called him so quickly. I mean, if they couldn't find him, then I'd be like, okay, well, I guess you got to call the man in charge. But the second he jumps over the fence. And I wonder who was updating Flyce.

You know, that's the thing is typically, I feel like they don't update him on a lot. Yeah, me too. I mean, this, what it points to me, Ashley, is kind of what we always thought. This was a lot more of a real deal for the show than what like, I think sometimes the viewer see the right? There's a lot of memes and funny comments about Colton jump in a fence and all those things. But then when you hear stuff like this, like I think those like the producers and Harrison and Flyce were actually word that they had just lost their bachelor. Lost him because he was actually just going to quit the show or lost him like they weren't going to find him in Portugal.

I think I think they had to find him. They have his passport. But I think quit the show. But then again, kind of like I told Lauren Zima a few weeks ago, you don't ever really quit the show. I was going to say like he. didn't quit the show like he can't really because he's because even if he says like i'm not going to pick anyone that's still not quitting that's just making a decision that's just in the show then we would have two or more long live shows to fill the to fill the void that was um anyways as we

move on from colton uh we have a couple tweets ash that have been people are roasting colton right now for his sappy tweets i like his sappy tweets it's his time him to do it. He's been hiding Cassie for so long. They've been in this relationship without anybody knowing it. And so, like, there's tweets like this one. It was sent in to us. It says, I love Cassie so much. I just shared my breakfast with her. That's real love because I really love breakfast. Now, if this is still happening in 18 months, I'm going to be like, this is a lot. But right now, like, let them get sappy, don't you think? So Melissa responded on Twitter. We have some Twitter responses to that tweet. She goes, I bet she won't

stay for lunch. That's harsh. Sidney Weiss said this is legitimately the worst tweet in the world. And then there's a bet going on. Yeah, so there's a bet that was made at the beginning of the season here. Let me pull it up. All right.

Easton actually found the email and apparently I lose the bet. Can you read it for us? Yes. This is from Jesse. She's a huge fan of you both. Just want to throw that in there. And makes her L.A. commute much more bearable. Anyways, I want to remind you about the Bachelor draft

and bet you made in the beginning of the season. Sorry you lost, Ashley. Ha, ha, ha. But Ben, how did you guess the top three? A little suspicious, I might add. Oh, I would say that is suspicious. Come on, guys. It's not that hard.

You guys are ridiculous. There is no collusion going on in this bet. I won fair and square. Here's how I guessed the top three. It wasn't because I had met with Colton. It wasn't. I didn't know. At that time, I had no clue.

it was because you look at the women and I'm going to try to do this with the men before this even starts now that they're released before the season's even been filmed and let's see if we can guess it today but you can kind of tell I feel like by the pictures who takes the best pictures who you know there's this these positions

that they always seem to put the winners in but here's a little rumor that's been going around this week we got to think Ari Linedike for this as you look at the group picture the last two seasons the winner has stood right next to the bachelor and the next bachelorette has stood in the very back row about four people in from the left

yeah it was like the weirdest thing like right diagonal from the the winner it was so weird so weird so let's let's play a little game today ash and see if we can bet or guess in next top three all right let's do that in a little bit once we're done with these headlines but that makes me think you say like who takes the best picture are we selecting our winner quote quote winner based on attractiveness or are we just assuming that they position them in a way to like have the prettiest picture and like they I don't know I don't know that's a good question I mean yeah because you have you know not attractiveness because you have a lot of attractive people on the show I think it's just that like vibe it's enough I don't know actually I'm

trying here I do want to throw in that as the loser Ashley you do have to sing Celine Deon. That was the stakes of this bet. All right, that's how we'll get out of the episode. That sounds good. We'll have it ready. I'm thrilled for this. This is going to be a great day. Hey, Rachel Lindsay, one of our favorite bachelorette just came out and said that she thinks the bachelor's needs to be older than 23 years old. Agree or disagree, Ash? Well, Hannaby is 24 and a half. So she is older than 23. You know, it's interesting. Just because our typical marriage ages are so different throughout the country. I personally feel like I could have never been ready to get married at 23 or 24, but that's

just me and that I think has a lot to do with the culture that I was, you know, brought up in outside D.C., here in L.A., outside New York, you know, all of those, like, major metropolitan areas just tend to get married a little bit later, put career, career development before, like, settling down. But I don't think there's like one wrong way or one right way. I do know that statistically, though, marriages that happen after the age of 25, the percentage is far more successful. The marriage. The divorce rate goes way down. I wonder, too, if as we, this is kind of a fun topic. So like for the demographic out there that watches the show and listens to the podcast, that's, you know, let's say 50 and above, if, if, if, we,

when they hear the age 23 and they go and when we say it's too young to get married, I bet they're laughing because that generation was getting married a lot younger than 23. 23 was probably like a stressor time for men and women to start getting married. That's true. My mom got married at 22. My dad was 25. Your parents were how old? My mom was 21.

My dad was 25, but my dad felt, I think, a little old to be getting married at that time. So and then like I was looking at other. day on Instagram at some of my buddies. And you knew this about me, Ashley. And this was a huge insecurity of mine a while ago. I don't feel it anymore. Um, maybe just giving up. But the, um, my buddies got married right out of college. Well, college was, you know, at this point, seven years ago. So my friends have been married for seven years. Now they're having kids and two kids and three kids. Seven years of marriage, that's, that's not a short amount of time. No, it's not. And I'm still chilling. Jess and I are just figuring it out right now.

Yeah. Well, everybody goes according to what's right for them, right? I guess that's the bottom line. It's what's right for the person in the relationship or looking for a relationship. I want to go back to Colton's sappy tweets right now. I'm not going to lie. Like the breakfast one was like a little bit, that was like a little bit cringy. But I was like pretty much falling for everything they've been posting, especially that airplane picture. Did you love the airplane picture as much as I did? Colton has such like a bear. body. He's just, like, such a, like, teddy bear by, like, physicality and personality. And just seeing her snuggle with him, like, in that first class pod, I was like, oh, wow, that is freaking cute. And it's something that I, you know, only Colton could really get away with that. What is it about Colton? Let's talk about that. You say that only Colton get away with it. What does that mean? Could you imagine if I was lying on top of Jared like that? It would just look Like, I'd be, like, I'm just smashing him. He's such a big man.

And because we are older, I think because they're younger, it's like, oh, that's so cute. But like, does he's two 30-year-olds do that? And you're like, get a grip. Yeah, it is cute, though. Yeah, I do get it. I looked at that picture in that sweet. But there is this level two right now. We've got to give them some grace on their sappiness because they've been held up for five months.

And I think Ashley and I both would agree with them. For everybody at the listening, these people have been locked in a room, locked in a hotel room, locked in a house for five months together. Let them roll on each other for a little bit. Like wherever they're at, whatever they're doing, if they're on an airplane or if they're in Good Morning America, whatever they're doing, let them roll around on each other because they're in love. And they haven't had the easiest journey, right?

Like, I was, like, I criticized Cassie not knowing how this ended a few weeks ago because I was like, she didn't break up with them in the right way. That wasn't good, not knowing that then they got back together. so people like me out there criticizing them and now they're together it's all worked out so let them enjoy it let them hang on each other yeah and in some way they probably want to post a lot so you guys can actually get to know their relationship because there was so much that you missed in those four months there is one thing that colton tweeted this week that i was like okay the jonas brothers the jonas brothers the jonas brother

open. They uploaded an Instagram. It was like, Sucker for you, like a play on Sucker, the new single. And Colton said something like, so I am partially tiny bit responsible for the guys getting back together. I'm like, Colton, we all know that of Bachelor Nation, I am the one that gets the credit for that. Let's not try to encroach my boy band territory. You can go sing boy band songs with O-Town, but don't give yourself credit for the Jonas Brothers reunion. Can we, can we, can we pause? here for a second. Ashley, just remind the listeners of what happened last week on this podcast when I made a comment about who was the Backstreet Boys or Jonas Brothers now knowing you and you got like this like look in your eye like don't you dare

say that? And I was like what did I say wrong? Oh, you said like did they know of you beforehand or something like that? And I was like yeah, that was not our first interaction. Yeah, but you were very protective of that. Like that was a very intimate moment for you like no, they've known me for a long time.

And you've never done that to me. It must be this, yeah. So I could see where this Colton situation, I think you guys have it out for each other. No, no, no. I want Colton to be a boy bander. He is the perfect boy band. Like, he kind of completes your boy band.

It's you, Jared, Dean, Nick, and Colton. Yeah. Yeah, Colton's just so big. He makes me look tiny. That's funny, though. Yeah, I'll never forget that look he gave me. I thought you were going to cut. I'm so sorry.

It's all right. I mean, I get it. I'm not mad about it. It just, you're protective of the Jonas brothers. Colton, Colton, beware. Colton probably doesn't know that. And I'm just really kidding here.

Like, he can say whatever. I think it's very cool. I love the fact that they are like, I know Kevin watches. Oh my goodness. Can I tell a story? Yeah, you could definitely tell a story. I love it when you get excited about boy, man.

This is the Ashley that I fell in love with two years ago on the podcast. Okay. So I've always followed like the Jonas brothers on Instagram and Nick and Joe because like Nick and Joe were young and like the ones that would like you know they were out there and I didn't I didn't follow Kevin because Kevin you know has just been married and has kids and he's just like a lot calmer and back when the Jonas brothers were even like on tour and a real thing Instagram wasn't a big thing so I just I didn't follow Kevin and I still feel a lot of guilt for this and then I saw that when they talked about me on that that radio show that Kevin responded underneath my Instagram of that post, he wrote underneath my post geeking out.

And he said, it's all your fault. And it was like really cute. And I was like, oh my God, Kevin saw my Instagram. Does Kevin follow me? And then I go and I check and Kevin was following me and I wasn't following him which made me feel so guilty.

What? And horrible because I love Kevin. And throughout the past 11 years, he's just been the sweetest us. always like super warm and welcoming even when we go somewhere we shouldn't be like even if we we crash private events kevin's there saying hi and trying to i don't know you guys i'm sorry i'm going a little off topic i just really think that kevin is so fantastic and then i went to go see if kevin had ever deemned me since he followed me and i saw that in june he DM'd me and said

congratulations, it's about time after we got engaged. And I was like, holy moly, that is the coolest thing ever. How in the world does he track his Instagram followers that well? What do you mean? Track his Instagram followers that well. Like how do you know when somebody's following you know? I never know that.

Oh, if you go to their profile, say follow back. Oh. If you don't follow it. Yeah. That's amazing, actually. Yeah. It was really cool. So, you know. I love them. And Colton can love them too. And I think it's really cool that the Jonas Brothers are even watching this season because I think that Kevin and his wife Danielle actually watch,

especially since Kevin said it's about time, about me and Jared. And yeah, so they can get as involved as they want as they want in the franchise. So this is now turned into a Jonas Brothers and Bachelor Bachelorette podcast. Ashley, you know what other kind of podcast is? This is one endorsing amazing products.

And I know that you've got one that is very close to your heart, literally and figuratively. Tell them about third love. Third love is so awesome because they have more sizes than any other bra company out there. It's like if you think, if you think they go into the mall and you're like, oh, I'm a 34, blah, blah, blah, like B or C, like you probably aren't. You could be a half size. and third love is all about finding the right fit for you because they have they can be precise about this because third love uses data points generated by millions of women who have taken their fit finder quiz to design bras with breast size and shape a lot of people don't consider

Yeah, because sometimes you'll get home if it's not the right size and you'll be like all sore and you'll have these indents, these red indents all over your body. You guys like never have to deal with these indents. Sometimes I get them even from yoga pants, like really tight yoga pants or actually yoga pants are not that bad, but it's jeans. Like I will have indent in my legs from tight skinny jeans for hours.

Really? I don't, I'll never get this and I'm not mad about it. Quite honestly, like I'm okay without it. Here's my question for you. And then we need to move on, but I really have a serious question. Why then do you wear tight yoga pants? Like, why is that a thing? No, okay.

So yoga pants, there's only a couple, like tight yoga pants, you'll get a little indent, but you probably won't feel uncomfortable. Okay. They're, they're far more comfortable than jeans. It's jeans that I just, I will do anything not to wear jeans. they're so uncomfortable for girls okay well i'm going to start wearing yoga pants and no jeans as well just to feel your pain at times

you just got to you gotta wear your tightest pair of jeans and then like go sit in them for a day as you do work i will um all right before we get in to this exciting moment in bachelor history where the guys on hannah b season have been released while the season is being filmed Ashley, I'm so pumped to talk about these guys. There's a lot of rumors and there's a lot of opinions going on. But one opinion you stand by is the use of ritual.

Oh, yeah. I love ritual because it helps keep your body healthy, not just now, but in the long run. And even as much as we eat kale salads and drink green smoothies, it's shocking. But we're still probably not getting all the essential nutrients that we need on a daily basis. rituals essentials has all the nutrients that most of us don't get from food and they have it in a clean absorbable form no shady additives or ingredients that can do more harm to your body than good ritual essential for women is it the multivitamin reimagined because it has everything from d3 to omega three and it fills in all the gaps in a woman's diet there's no nausea involved

with these capsules too. It's very gentle on an empty stomach. And I don't know if you're like me, but one of the reasons that I never took vitamins before ritual was because I'd have to eat like a full meal before them because they made me so nauseous. There's also no fishy aftertaste. It's actually a little bit minty, so you feel fresh. Most omega-3s have that fishy aftertaste, but not with ritual.

Ritual is also traceable and transparent for all you obsessively. label readers out there. It's vegan-friendly, sugar-free, non-GMO, gluten-free, and allergen-free, and all their sources are out there for the entire world to see. Plus, it is delivered, so it's easy. It's a subscription that is easy to start, and it's easy to snooze, so don't worry if you're, like, overloaded with vitamins, you can always just hit the snooze button. It's only a dollar a day to have all the essential nutrients that your body needs. And right now, you can get 10% for your first three months, just for almost famous listeners. So fill in those gaps in your diet with essential for women, a small step that helps support a healthy foundation for your body.

Visit ritual.com slash famous to start your ritual today. That's 10% off your first three months at ritual, R-I-T-U-A-L dot com slash famous. And seriously, guys, it's just a game changer because you don't get nauseous and there's no fishy aftertaste. They're not like horse pills. It's just so much better than your regular vitamin. With that, we've got a big moment. Ashley, you and I are both excited for this. I cannot believe that The Bachelor has gifted us.

I feel like they did it for this podcast to gift us with this content during the off season. I mean, this is a big deal. And so anybody out there listening, I need you to take a second. I need you to go to your internet or your phones if you're not driving. And I want you to pull up the Bachelorette contestants this year. I want you to go through them with us. I want you to have your opinions alongside of us and then email us your opinions at Ben and Ashley at iHeartMedia.com.

Why do you, to get started, Ashley, why did the Bachelor announce the contestants so early on this year? I think because they get leaked every year, so they're like as much. mine as well just leak it ourselves okay you think i mean that's it so they're just trying to do you really think they're just trying to like eliminate the spoiler like websites yeah i think they get a little bit of satisfaction but doing it before everyone else or before reality steve and i think that they're like okay well huh let's just play games with him yeah why don't i mean what's the negative to doing it this way i actually kind of like it yeah i don't think there's any negative doing it the way they did was just like right after the finale it keeps people excited and engaged

waiting for the next season and then my final question before we get going is why is every picture so terrible like is that on purpose you you see these pictures of the contestants you're like yeah they don't look that great and then you see him on the show and you're like they're incredibly attractive easton just handed me the entire 30 pages of pictures um i'm not Sure, Ben. I mean, I know that everybody looks better on the show. Every year they look better on the show. And yes, this show isn't all about looks.

But can we be vain for a little bit, people? Because the show is known for having, you know, can I say the cremdala crop? You're supposed to have personalities and looks and it's supposed to be like a fantasy, right? You wouldn't be watching The Bachelor if it wasn't like a fantasy. fantasy. Yeah. Yeah. I get that.

And then they also have to pick the weirdos like you and I who just choose to go on the show. That's always, that's half the deal. Is this, okay, who can we find that's willing to give their life to this show for a few years? Go on and try to find love. Well, the Ashley and Benz of the world are perfect for it. Okay, with no further ado. Yeah, but can I be honest, Ben? Yeah.

These guys, and I'm trying to give them the benefit of the doubt, I feel like they were like in a hot dog line at a football stadium. They're like waiting for beers at the concessions at a football stadium. And they said, everyone in line. Come to, come to us. Come to us. You're on. Fry in love now.

Okay. So with no further ado, let's enter into this. This group of men have been judged. They've been criticized. It is by popular opinion, I think we can all say that most people share this. same kind of sentiment towards this group of men as Ashley does. We don't know them personally. We're going to fall in love with a few of them and they're going to have some amazing personalities. We all know that. But half the show is looking at these pictures and getting

exciting going, okay, which one's going to make it? Which one's not? And right now, the popular opinion from people out there is that this group of men is not of the physical qualities that we've seen before on this show. It seems, it seems so horrible. I'm, I'm, it is horrible. It's horrible to say, it really is. It's horrible to say, but Ashley, if you go out there right now and you go on Twitter, or if you read like the articles have been posted about these men, the comments section is just firing up with negative comments.

But here's the thing I want to say is I can't necessarily agree or disagree. I'm sure some of these dudes are going to be studs and I'm sure they, some of them are going to be funny and weirdos and we're going to bring them on the podcast just to talk to them and laugh and have a good time with them. but you know what long story short is if you look back on past seasons the pictures are terrible like i don't want to judge any of these guys by the pictures but we have to that's part of it so let's start with b b oh are we going to go right through the mall oh we're going to run through them we're going to take about 20 seconds on each okay uh everybody out there get your papers ready

get your brackets ready we are running through these men like wildfire okay okay go b he's age 30 location. He's from Louisville, Kentucky. Here's the thing about Brian B. My first reaction. We're just going to say one word, Ashley, on every one of these guys that we see to describe him. A phrase. A phrase. Okay. He looks confused. Confused. I was going to say Tofer Grace-esque. Oh, that's fantastic. Okay. Next guy. We saw him on the show already. He got the first rows of the season. That's Cameron A. He's 30 years old. He's from Austin, Texas. Here's my first reaction to Cameron A. Kind.

That's all I can say. He just looks like a kind man. Frontrunner in person, but not on the picture. Yeah. Since we saw this guy already, we are going to spend a little more time on him. And on the show, he seemed, he still seemed a little goofy to me. Like he seemed like he didn't feel comfortable up there yet. Oh, yeah, but in like the perfect way for Hannah.

Oh, good point. Don't you feel like a little goofy? a little nerdy, a little awkward, but perfect for her. All right. I'm writing him down. He might be a part of my top three. Oh, I think he's top four. Chason C, 27 years old, Longview, Washington.

Chason C looks like he makes million selling stocks online. Is he a wolf of Wall Street right there? Why is he the one that wears the suit? Like, how does that work? I just don't know how he's 27. What do you think? He feels like he's 37 to me. First reaction, he's 37, but his age is 27.

Okay, we got Darren B. Darren B's 25 years old. He's from Atlanta, Georgia. I'm a big NBA fan. His dad was a former NBA player, Muki Blaylock. Darren B, here's the thing with Darren B. How do these guys are allowed to wear collared shirts?

I don't get it. But he doesn't know what to do with his hands. Yeah, just straight up awkward. I hear, I think this is him. I hear that if you see other pictures of him, he looks like a totally different human. Really? Yeah. I hope all these guys do, honestly.

I mean, this is, these pictures are not doing them justice. And when I say that, Connor J, he's 28 years old, this guy right here, he's every girl's friend zone. He is just the sweetest, kindest, most gentle person. Wait, did you see the comment, the most savage fan comment? He says, he looks like every guy in the friend zone and every rom-com ever. Oh, it's true. He does.

He just looks like a nice friend zone. He has the bracelets on that probably represents something great in this world and I respect him for it. That's what I see in him. What do you see? I don't, oh, God. Is this going to be one of those podcasts? I don't know if he's going to get out of Hannah's friend zone.

That is fair to say. Connor S. Connor S, I think, takes the best. photo in the group. I think this guy is going to be really good looking in person, not great on these photos like everybody else. He's age 24. Here's what I say about Connor S. He left his fraternity to come on the show. Connor was on the after the final Rose episode. He was the one with the step stool. I see, I'm surprised he didn't get it. Yeah, seem like a good dude. He, yeah, no, Cam just killed. Cam killed him.

Cam did a great job. You got her with the roll tide. You know, everybody just needs to bring Alabama to her and she's going to be down. Connor is cute. He's cute. Let's see if he has like the manliness, maturity that I feel like she's going to be looking for.

Fair enough. Let's see if Dustin K has a... Dustin K is age 30. He's from Chicago, Illinois. Dustin K in this picture looks like he is trying way too hard to be happy. I feel like this has club promoter on it for me.

Oh, yeah, that's good point. Just like, hey, I'm a happy guy or I'm a fun guy. Let me smile really big and stare at the camera. Dylan B. Dylan B is 24 years old. Dylan B. His mom forced him to go. Oh, that's funny.

I think Dylan might be cuter. I think Dylan might be an undercover cutie. Really? Yeah. Okay. Some people are saying that online about Gare. Garrett P. Garrett P. is 27 years old from Birmingham, Alabama.

Hey, listeners, are you keeping up with this? We're flying through these people today. Garrett P. to me has a little bit of a Jeff Holm vibe. Oh my gosh. He so does. Yeah. Like, hey, what's going on below or beneath that smile? I think Garrett could have been really cute in this picture if it weren't for his shirt.

His shirt really brings him down. His shirt kind of looks like it has vulvas all over it. Okay, so the comment here, the most savage fan comment says this shirt has maxi pads all over it. You really took it one step above. You're right. I see it now. You see it. It looks like it has a bunch of vaginas all over it.

Okay, Jed W. Jed W is 25 years old. He's from Nashville, Tennessee. Jed W. Looks like a guy that peaked about a year ago. is living his best life now. Another guy that does look older than his age, I'd say. Let's put some product in his hair and we'll see.

Yeah, he just looks like he whirled out of bed, went down to the photo shoot and had no clue that this is going to come back to bite him. Speaking of biting him, Devin H., his shirt is something to be admired. He's 27 years old from Sherman Oaks, California, not far from the Bachelor Mansion. Devin H., your shirt is bitey. Why do you wear this shirt on a photo shoot? Like, who talked to you into this? I feel like he needs to get a lim-ed-night-one just because of the shirt.

I'm really normally not a fashion girl, but the guy's clothing really can't change their appearance. It's actually mind-boggling how your clothing can. And can I tell you something, honestly, I feel like most guys look better just in a t-shirt and a backwards hat. That's like almost everybody's best look. And then if you're, like, dressed in a tux, then you look nice and, you know, spanking. Spank-worthy?

Spank-worthy? Is that what we're trying to say? I don't know. Spank-in-hot? I have no idea what I'm saying. But clothing choices in these pictures have really affected the men, I think. Hunter J. 24 from Westchester, California. Hunter J. I want to just say his clothing choices, another one. Like, why?

These guys back in the 1990s, like, none of them wore, like, up-to-date clothing. Like, we see on the show, I look at these guys, and I need fashion advice. I need fashion sense. But here's the thing about Hunter J. Hunter J is a really good listener. I know it. Look at his eyes. Very kind eyes.

I have nothing to say about him. Joe B. Joe B is from 30. He's from Chicago, Illinois. Joe B will tell you all about a good piece of pizza. I mean, this guy knows what is the best difference between deep crust, thin crust, and just some hand tossed. All right. You're like rocking this game right now.

Like, you're actually making it seem like fact. I'm like, oh, where's he reading from? No, I'm coming up with all these. So, Joe B is that guy who comes up to you at a bar when you, and then you're like, no. And then he just doesn't get the hint and he just keeps coming over to you all night long. And you're like, we need to leave because this guy won't leave you alone. Grant E. Grant E is from, he's 30 years old from San Clemente, California. Grant E is the coolest dad you know

I mean this guy This guy will stand beside you at a soccer game Look at you in the eyes and be like Hey buddy I've got a six pack of beer In the back of my van You want to go grab one at intermission And you're so into it because that Grant E guy He's got it going on

He kind of looks like Jorge to me Who's horror? Oh Oh not a that's not I see it I see it Okay Ben G Benji this is the Benji's gonna be my favorite this season

Benjie's 30 years old from Charlotte, North Carolina, Benji has nothing savage about him. This guy, he is the purest-hearted man. He is so just clean cut. He will sit down. He will look your mother in the eye and tell her everything she wants to hear

and he means it from the depths of his soul. And you say he has nothing savage about him, but I'm going to go with the most savage fan comment we have here. He looks like he gets effed up at an apple bees. Oh, man, that's good. That's really good. Oh, if I didn't have, you know, I came from Worse, Indiana. Applebee's used to be the coolest bar in town.

Hey, Joe R is 27 from Stanton Island, New York. I have nothing to say about Joe R. Staten Island. Other than the fact that if I just saw his picture, I could guarantee you, he's from Stanton Island, New York. Staten Island, you are a Denver boy through and through, huh? Joe looks like, I again think he, he may have potential in the house, but he is going to be rough around the edges. She may think he's sexy. The other guys are going to hate him.

Joey J. 33 from Bethesda, Maryland. Joey J. Here's my comment to you, buddy. Not to hate on you too much, but that like I've tried to get the line in my hair once before. His feels like it's about three inches too much in the middle. It's like just going on the side of a part. I was going to say a wannabe Robbie Hayes.

Oh. Couldn't we be so lucky. Hey, John, Paul. Jay, 24 years old. New Carrollton, Maryland. Is that how you say that? I'm sure you know. Good job, yeah.

Yeah. John's wearing his shirt. It's pretty baggy on him. I mean, let's be honest. This shirt is not his own. And that's my first reaction is to John is he stole his dad's clothes to come on the show. Yeah. The shirt is so distracting.

I don't even look at his face. And when I do, I think he could be in a Taylor Swift music video. Oh. Well, that means he's good looking, huh? But, but, you know, I don't know. Luke P is 24 years old from Gainesville, Georgia. I look at Luke P. And I think this is the guy that comes up to me at the gym when I'm trying to lift.

And he tells me I'm doing it wrong. I was going to say, Jordan Rogers, want to be. Jordan Rogers want to be. Wow. That's a pretty high praise, though, considering that Jordan Rogers is happy with Joel Fletcher. Good for them. Hey, Jonathan S is 27 from 1. Los Angeles, California.

Jonathan S, I look at you here. Just cheesy. How about just cheesy? Just cheesy. That's kind of it. It's like it does. The most savage fan comment is it looks like a gap ad. It kind of does.

Like, I just don't think he's comfortable. He's not nervous. He knows he wants to be there. He's there for the right reasons. He's just. he's just I don't know he's cheesy Kevin F 27 I see Jonathan being like very proactive like always going after her being very eager

oh yeah oh yeah Kevin F 27 from Montenia Illinois I'm not going to say that right but it's it's close I promise you that Kevin F has been the guy that's in your friend group who's always been like good looking enough where you're like I think Kevin F.'s good looking, but yet he never really seems to land the girlfriend. Like, he just always seems to be the guy that people are like, I don't know why he's single, but he always is. I feel like he looks like a poor man's Tim Tebow.

And he also comes up to you at the bar and never leaves you alone. Luke S is 29 from Washington, D.C. Luke S's pictures so bad. He looks like a, he looks like a doll. Luke okay so here's the thing about these photos and we're going through first reactions again when we watch this show these guys are all going to be good looking they're going to be studs they're going to be funny

they're going to be charismatic we're going to fall in love with them but the best part is these photos make us all look so terrible my photo is so goofy and so ridiculous that of course you're going to judge it initially and it's one of the best parts of the show and I look at Lucas and I'm like this right here is that this guy is a behind the scenes model and the show just really got him bad with this photo. It's 29 from Washington, D.C.

I can't get over the fact that he told Hannah that he wanted to go south on her on the first meeting. That's aggressive. I was so gross. I'd say that's not the best first impression. I don't think, right? No, but I really hope that everybody

who's been listening to this in the car either rewatches this or like presses pause because this would be so much more fun to listen to when you have the guy's pictures in front of you. Oh, definitely. Yeah, go through it yourself. That's what I'm saying. go through these yourself and just figure out if like this is what like if you agree or disagree but we're going to look at matt d here 31 from winter springs for an amazing place i was actually

just there for uh my coordinator's wedding anyways i look at matt d and matt d is every grandma's favorite he is going to be like the 60 and up like fan favorite 70 and up fan favorite I'm going to say he must be funny. Yeah, like just like a little goofy. Like, okay, so then we have the second Matt D. He's 26 from Los Gatos, California. If he doesn't look 46. Matt D here, this photo, he got to wear the button down shirt.

This photo makes me think to him is he works really hard, but he knows how to work hard, play hard. That's his motto because he can unbutton a shirt, one extra button, roll up the sleeves and have a beer at the bar. Oh, he's so. He's going to be all right. He's going to be around a while. He's going to be okay. Yeah, he's going to be fine.

Matt S is 23 from Newport, California. I look at Matt S here. And Matt S has a secret to tell that we'll find out about episode three. I think he is going to be desperately in love with Hannah. I think this might be my favorite. I look at this guy and I look at this guy. And I look, I think at episode three, we fall in love with Matt S. He might be so eager to be with her that she gets grossed out by him.

I love this savage comment. Goes, I guess when the Fry Festival doesn't, I guess when the Fire Festival doesn't pan out, you try your luck on The Bachelorette. Because if you didn't, if you watched that documentary, you know that the founder of the Fire Festival looks a lot like it. Mateo V. 25 from Atlanta, Georgia. this is what I think of Mateo V.

He looks like me trying to wear a leather coat. Like, I try to be tough. I try to be cool. I try to grow up my scruff and do a cool haircut. Put on a leather coat and walk out and think, yeah, I've got it going. It never works for me. I don't think it's working for him either. I think she may like him.

Okay. And he's from Atlanta, which is pretty close to Alabama. She needs a southern guy. Tyler G28 from Boca Raton, Florida. Here's the thing about Tyler G. I think he's actually probably a very good-looking man, but they used the absolute worst photo possible for him. They caught him mid-smile.

And so here's what I'm going to say about Tyler G. Lighten up a bit. Smile, relax, and let those pearly white shine. His face says, are, am I sure I really want to do this? Peter W. 27 from Westlake Village, California. Peter W., he hit the tanning bed way too hard right before this show. I get a dude. I did it too.

But yeah, he spent 20 minutes in the, tadding bed instead of 12. I feel like he came out of like the 1960s or 70s. He looks like he could have been on the Brady Bunch. Mike J. 31, San Antonio, Texas. Mike J. picks the color that just could not go worse with the background. And his eyebrows are far too polished for a man. Ryan S. 25 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

When I look at Ryan S. I think that this man has not. nothing tough about him. Not in a bad way. I just think he is the softest, most gentle human. And he's going to sit down and he's going to put his hand, just very lightly on his shoulder. And he's going to look at it in the eyes and go, I'm so happy it was you.

Really? Because I see him getting things started with the guys. Really? Yeah. A little fire starter. See, I think that about Scott A, 28 from Chicago, Illinois. He's from Chicago. I know those Chicago.

I grew up right by it. And he spikes his hair straight up. there. This guy is the fire starter on the season. Yeah, now I see him and I see what you're saying. Yeah, Chicago, Chicago's got grit. Thomas S. 27 from South Field, Michigan, when I look at Thomas S from Michigan, when I think about Thomas S from Michigan, I honestly, it reminds me of my good Midwestern buddies. Like, he doesn't, he doesn't necessarily want to be here. Somehow he ended up on the bachelor at. He's not exactly mad. He's here. but he has so many things he'd rather be doing.

Like, he has no interest in standing in this room right now, and I think that's maybe how he'll be on the show. Just no interest. He has too many cool things happening back in the Midwest. Okay. I really don't have much to say about Thomas. Can't be creative with that one. And finally, we come to the only one that would catch my eye based on the pictures.

Tyler C. And when I ever tell any, like, I've told a couple of people, I'm like, when people are like, oh my God, have you seen it guys? It's so rough. I'm like, but Tyler C is not rough. However, he looks like a player. He looks like the guy who is going to screw over. He reminds me of Bentley on Ashley's season.

And Bentley just such a terror. Tyler C's 26 from Jupiter, Florida. Ashley. So what you're saying with Tyler C is based on a picture. What we think could happen is he's going to be the standout, a good looking guy on the season. Hannah's going to be really into him right away. But ultimately,

is this guy going to be the guy that breaks the hearts of millions? Oh, absolutely. And I'm not alone in this. The most savage fan comment says he looks like a player. And according to reality, Steve, Tyler is a male model who works in construction. And if you haven't already looked, his Instagram is private.

My sister and I tried to search him. But, yeah, can't look for a while. Okay. our preliminary results as we ran through and we just described everybody based on a picture don't we all wish that's how life was everybody looks at our picture and just goes yeah that's who this person is seems to be super accurate

anyway we just dead that with these guys these poor guys who can't defend themselves right now because they're on the show filming now we're going to play a little game Ashley who's your top three at the end of the season okay hold on hold on I'm going to put Cam I'm going to put Cam in there okay so Cam who else okay hold on I'm thinking about Mateo

I'm thinking about definitely not Luke I'm sorry do you have your top three already I do here's my top three here's what we're going to do I got Kevin F Kevin F is one

I've got I would say that my favorite right away is going to be Tyler C he's going to be left off very early in this show he's gonna this is going to come out

and it's going to hurt bad like we're all going to be very disappointed in that storyline I don't know if it's happening or not actually he's probably a super nice guy and he'll be the next bachelor

he'll end up with her but that's what we're saying for this I'm going to say Grant E Grant Grant There's two grants and Cameron

I think Cameron's going to be there I could see here's what I can see in Cameron I could see those two at the end being really goofy really weird with each other and America absolutely falling in love with the two of them because they are just perfect for each other

Oh one thing when I had dinner with Demi and Katie they said that like Hannah's really she's not so into like looks she just wants a super goofy guy huh like she just wants somebody to laugh with like when we say goofy we mean humor or like awkwardness like nerdy i think nerdy like a goofball like a goof like just awkward ah so interesting well

that's what we got to look forward to this year then my vote for cameron is working hey again please don't judge you guys too critically none of that that we said we actually know we have no We're joking, guys. Yeah, but please go through yourself and just look at these guys and go, this is what I think of them. And then look at your own picture and think about this. What would you think of yourself if you saw a picture of yourself standing there? Hey, we have two last segments left.

With mine, they would have said Jersey Girl, which is what they wanted to come across. And then wait, you didn't ask? I needed to give them my top three. Okay. Are you ready? I'm ready. Okay. I'm not going to do any specific order.

I don't know who wins, but these are my top three. Garrett, who is from Birmingham, Alabama, and could have looked really good if he didn't wear the vulva shirt, Dylan B, and Cameron. Cam. With that, please email us at Ben and Ashley at iHeartMedia.com. All of your top three choices for the Hanna B season that we think will go down as one of the ones that we'll remember forever.

It's our first off-season show after Colton season.

We're taking a break from Colton. We've ran through Hannah B's guys. We're going to have a massive off-season this year. I mean, it's going to be awesome. We're going to talk so many things about relationships and life. We're going to bring in a ton of colors and emails. We're going to bring in news segments. But this podcast this week is going to be a little more bachelor-focused just because of the news of Hannah-B season.

With that, we're going to read a couple emails that are back. are focused. Last week we had Hannah G on the episode, and we mentioned them. There's some suitors out there that we were thinking of that could be perfect for Hannah G. And one of our favorite listeners, Megan wrote it and she goes, hi guys, just listen to your latest podcast and got super intrigued about who would be good for Hannah G. And here are Megan's thoughts on potential suitors based on her favorites from recent seasons. Ashley, what do you think of Hannah G, somebody that you love and I think is absolutely fantastic and Blake Hortzman yeah I'm down Sean Booth and Hannah G um I feel weird setting Sean up with anybody right now

Connor O'Brockta and Hannah G hells to the knot I don't know who is that he was oh that's the he was on that last season right yeah yeah yeah I know I had dinner with him I should know his last name um oops here Peter Cross and Hannah G no way Dean Ungler and Hannah G I'm down I'm down and I know people are going to be like

but Dean is so bad in relationships and sure but like come on he's the nicest he's got such a sweet warm heart I don't think Dean's bad in relationships I think Dean has the Sigma being bad in relationships and I think right now he's kind of owning it but with the right woman like to put her foot down

and like tell him what's up I think Dean just, like, would be terrific in a relationship. I just don't think he has the opportunities right now. You think that, like, right now, though, I think he likes his, his free lifestyle right now. Yeah, he has a little wonderless in him. I get that. Yeah. We'll keep sharing for Dean.

Chase McNary, I actually like this one because I've gotten to know Chase more and more over the last few months. And now that he's moved back to Denver, I think Chase is the type of guy I would set up. And I would tell, I would tell Chase this. Maybe a year and a half ago, I don't think Chase would have been in a place where I would have set him up with a friend of mine. I think he's getting to a place where his, the chase I knew before the season of the Bachelorette aired is the chase I know now.

Okay. Well, then I'll go with your recommendation there because I don't think I've seen Chase in the past year and a half. So I would have said no, but now I'm going to say yes. Yeah, he's in a good place. And he's a very kind man. He's focused. So, yeah, I'm a Chase McNary fan again.

I really was before the season. And then I don't know, things happened. Derek Peth, Derek Peth, from everything I hear, is one of the nicest men that anybody's ever met. What do you think of Derek Peth and Hanna G? I think I've only met him once, but he said not so great things about me and Jared, so I'm not the biggest of fans.

So I say no. Luke Pell, who is taken, so that's not going to work. And here was a weird one. One of those thrown out there, but a guy I like Brian Osborne. I just don't think you ever see Brian Osborne back on a season. And I feel like Hannah G is so young. And I think Brian's got to be now in his mid-30.

I just don't think it's working. So Brian, I feel like is constantly a backup for Bachelor in Paradise. Like I feel like they always like want to bring them back but then they never end up doing it. I think there was, I think he was supposed to maybe do it Bachelor in Paradise 4. But then with the Corinne drama,

he didn't make it in. But I think he may have flown down there. I'm not 100%. I may be making it rumors. But I could see that. I could see them together. Yeah. I wonder.

I don't know. let's get the almost famous podcast on the Hannah G train trying to find her a potential partner out there in this world because I mean as great as she is there's got to be a guy out there that is worthy of Hannah G so we'll keep fighting we'll keep watching and paradise this year I guarantee you is going to be good I don't see here's the one thing I do take away from this Ashley I don't know after looking at the guys from Hannah B season who are going to be great paradise contestants because I just don't know how far they go but I I don't know if I see any of them just from the initial glance, like, with a Hannah-G.

Yeah. And I think if they are what they are in their pictures, they're not going to be. They're going to be so much better. I just feel like Dean, if he goes back to paradise, is just going to be just all, every woman is going to be flawning, flocking to him. Yeah, but those guys are going to be better in their pictures. I know, I know the show did it on purpose. They want us out there.

And so we'll see. goes on paradise this year, but I am going to be so excited to be watching.

Hey, sis, what if I could promise you you never had to listen to a condescending finance, bro, tell you how to manage your money again. Welcome to Brown Ambition. This is the hard part when you pay down those credit cards. If you haven't gotten to the bottom of why you were racking up credit or turning to credit cards, you may just recreate the same problem a year from now.

When you do feel like you are bleeding from these high interest rates, I would start shopping for a debt consolidation loan, starting with your local credit union, shopping around online, looking for some online. online lenders because they tend to have fewer fees and be more affordable. Listen, I am not here to judge. It is so expensive in these streets. I 100% can see how in just a few months you can have this much credit card debt when it weighs on you. It's really easy to just like stick your head in the sand. It's nice and dark in the sand. Even if it's scary, it's not going to go away just because you're avoiding it.

And in fact, it may get even worse. For more judgment-free money advice, listen to Brown Ambition on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. What would you do if one bad decision forced you to choose between a maximum security prison or the most brutal boot camp designed to be hell on earth? Unfortunately for Mark Lombardo, this was the choice he faced. He said, you are a number, a New York state number, and we own you. Shock incarceration, also known as boot camps, are short-term, highly regimented correctional programs that mimic military basic training. These programs aimed to provide a shock of prison life, emphasizing strict discipline, physical training, hard labor, and rehabilitation programs.

Mark had one chance to complete this program and had no idea of the hell awaiting him the next six months. The first night was so overwhelming, and you don't know who's next to you. And we didn't know what to expect in the morning. Nobody tells you anything. Listen to shock incarceration on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get to. your podcast. Hi, I'm Janica Lopez, and in the new season of the Overcomber podcast, I'm taking you on an exciting journey of self-reflection.

Am I ready to enter this new part of my life? Like, am I ready to be in a relationship? Am I ready to have kids and to really just devote myself and my time? I wanted to be successful on my own, not just because of who my mom is. Like, I felt like I needed to be better or work twice as hard as she did. Join me for conversations about healing and growth. Life is freaking hard, and growth doesn't happen in comfort. It happens in motion, even when you're hurting.

All from one of my favorite spaces, The Kitchen. Honestly, these are going to come out so freaking amazing. Be a part of my new chapter and listen to the new season of the Overcomfit Podcast as part of the My Cultura podcast network on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. So here's the thing. If you saw my tweet this week, you'll know where this is coming from. I stay in hotels most of my life. I'm home often, but when I'm gone, I'm staying in a hotel.

I don't hate hotel rooms. I actually kind of like them. They're quiet. I don't have to clean up all the time. The only thing I need to do is to tip somebody as I leave. And that's about my only obligation when it comes to a hotel room. My problem is that no matter what hotel room I stay into these days, no matter how nice or how not nice they are, there's always decorative pillows on the bed.

And my one thing about hotel rooms, if you think about it, is there is somebody sleeping in that room doing weird things because we all do weird things, not more than probably 12 hours before. So the best part is when the sheets can be washed, soap has been changed in the shower, it's kind of like a new start. It's revitalizing. I'll bring my little wipes. I'll wipe down the remote control.

when I walk in, and then I'm good. This room is my room for the next X amount of days. But decorative pillows can't be washed. They cannot be clean. There's no zipper that allows the fabric to be taken off. And so here's what happens for me and for every other person in a hotel room. You walk in, there's decorative pillows on the bed. You take off those decorative pillows right away, hopefully.

You throw them on the floor. The floor's not any better. It just picks up more germs. If you leave them in the bed, who knows what's going on in that bed. All I can picture is some old man just squads. squatting gently up and down on the decorative pillows. It's disgusting. It's gross.

So here is my segment saying that hotels should get rid of decorative pillows. They're useless. They're not right. And they're dirty. So that was your band bitches for the week, it seems. That was it. Yeah. That was the very first been bitches off season.

I feel better now. I just don't like it. Actually, I'm not a fan of it. I don't want it. I don't like it. We don't need it. You sure most of them don't have Zip. I don't know. I don't touch them long enough to look, I guess. I would be surprised if hotels are

unzipping those, washing them and putting them back on the bed. Obviously not every day, maybe once in a while. Can you just imagine, Ash, like the weird stuff that goes on in those pillows? Like, yeah, I get gross out more by the bathrooms. I get that too. I think I'm starting to get old. I'm starting to think about this stuff. I don't like it. Yeah, I feel like I feel like I'm going to be like a really grumpy, rickety old man. Just like mad all the time about the most ridiculous things. I'm on my way there.

But you bring Lysol wipes. That's so great. I mean, I like that. Props. I should do that too. For planes and hotels. Lysol wipes every day. But one thing I'm not mad about,

to sing so I don't even so you guys don't know I don't know how it works but you know how that is Mark you explain it right so she wants she wants music to sing along to which makes sense so she's going to put that in her ears so she can sing along and hear the music and be more accurate

and we will only hear her voice and not the music because we're not allowed to play other people's music on this podcast or any podcast I feel like we get the best into the deal I agree with that Uh-huh. We get to hear her voice. We get to listen to the sweet melody that is playing. And Ashley, she doesn't get to enjoy it.

Everybody wins. Hey, win-win. I got one. This one's a little bit easier, I think. I don't know why this is so awkward for me. Maybe next time she'll choose her bachelor's a little more carefully. Uh-huh. I don't know what she's doing.

She has headphones and I think she's just enjoying the song right now, Mark. Waiting for it to come around again.
