This is the Ben and Ashley I, almost famous podcast with IHartRadio. Ashley's voice has gotten pretty deep here recently. Hey, I'm Ben. Yeah, and I'm Wells. Wells is the man in the ship today. I am on the road heading to the beautiful town of Lexington, Kentucky. And so I'm in a car right now. If it sounds a little funny, that's why.

And we brought in one of the podcasts, closest friends, one of my closest friends. personally, Wells Adams demand this shit because this is a special episode. It is a special episode. I think it's funny, Ben, because you were just on my podcast, my most recent one, and now I'm coming on yours. So we'll just go back and forth for the next

couple episodes. It'll be fine. No one's going to get sick of us, I promise you. Well, just, I'm interested. I've done two of your podcast now. I've gotten a lot of reviews, and it's crazy because I've said some weird stuff on your podcast.

And the reviews have all been, like, pretty positive coming off of them. What are some of the things you've learned about me from me doing your podcast? You really want to do this on your podcast? No, I don't. Let's skip it. Are you sure? No, Wells, do it. Now you have to. We found out that Ben is not a purveyor of toilet paper.

He likes to do his business and then immediately get into the shower, which is not completely weird. My brother does that as well. But we also found out that to clean himself, he uses a washcloth. And I asked, do you change out that washcloth every shower? And we found out, no, no. He likes to save on to that puppy for an entire week, which I think is where people got a little weirded out by it. I think that was me stretching the truth, too. I think I was just trying to come out with some good content.

I feel like I'm very hygienic. We've talked about this. I don't gross myself out very often, but here's something we also talk about. For everybody out there listening, please email us at Ben and Ashley at iHeartMedia.com. I made the comment on the last podcast that if everybody does weird stuff in the shower, or maybe we should say weird stuff when they're alone. Like, we can't deny that we are odd creatures when we are alone. And people have responded with some of the weirdest stuff on Twitter on things that they do

when they're alone. Well, what's the weirdest thing that you do when you're alone? Oh, man. In the shower, I only sing David Bowie Life on Mars, and I do both the high parts and the low parts, and I think I sound phenomenal,

all right? And then one day, Sarah started, like, videoing me doing this, not like me actually in the shower, but, like, outside. And I was thinking I sounded so good. Like, no one, like, not even Bowie could do what I was doing.

And then I listened back to it, and it sounded like cats in heat, and it was really embarrassing. And that's what I realized I should shut the heck up in the shower. Yeah, you know, I've heard you sing. You and I've had a good night together. One of my favorite nights in the last year was with Wells. I went to Nashville for a fundraiser, and one of the nights, Wells and I just decided to kind of carve out time to spend it together. his friends. We went back to his house after playing darts for a few hours, turned on the record player. This is one of the things I love him most about Wells. He's a vintage man. I mean,

he loves the raw, the deep things, the real things of life. And he has a record play that we tuned on and played records for probably two hours, just him and I on the couch, singing songs that we loved. My favorite moment of that weekend was the next morning because we were we were a bit worse for the wear the next morning and my bloodhound Carl really much like America fell in love with Higgie baby over here and Higgins walks into my room

and I'm like half naked in my bed like trying to get up and he's like I gotta go and Carl like jumps on you like doesn't want you to leave and I was like oh my God it's not just Bachelor Nation it's also Pet Nation that loves Higgins it's the bloodhound we had a connection

I like that I like that you've got a good friend of that dog we've had some great memories well you are one of my favorite people we're going to head to Vegas very soon for the IHeart Fest that's a really big deal you're going to be hosted a few things

I'm going to be out there walking around you know just I guess listen to music just being a waste of space but if any of our listeners are you know interested in joining us at IHeart Fest

please go to Amy what's the website they go to get tickets iHeartRadio.com backslash tickets Are you playing poker with people and stuff? Blackjack. Blackjack. You're playing too, Wells. Oh, I am?

I'm the worst blackjack player in the world. How can you be bad at Blackjack if you know how to count? That's the thing. Don't know how to do that. Why do you think I got into radio? I didn't have to do any math at all, all right? All I had to do is know when a minute was up. That's the trick in radio.

Charity. That's a beautiful thing. That's for charity. So we're going to be playing Blackjack with a few people for charity. Make sure you go to iHeartRadio.com backslash tickets for tickets to IHeart Fest. It is my favorite festival of the year. Every year something amazing happens. Yeah.

This is like our third year doing it together, Ben. We're like... I'm getting old. God, we're like besties, you know? It's great. Feels good. I remember my first year. Exactly.

we're on a text thread right now with, you know, some of the beloved people who were not named Bachelor, Blake and Jason and Tilly's on this thread and Wells and producer Amy, Ashley's on here as well, and Jared, I don't know, as a lot of people. Anyway, I realize how excited Blake and Jason are to attend IHeart Fest this year. And for me, I'm really excited. I get excited every year, but I feel like a veteran. Like I don't, like the first year I was anxious. and nervous, and I didn't know what to expect. And now I just feel like an old man walking into I Heart Fest, like showing the youngen. You can tell from their text.

Blake and Jason are like, first of all, they were so happy to get into the text thread, I think. They were pretty jazzed. And then their comments are like, oh, my God, what's happening? Yeah. What is this? And then Dean mentioned the wave pool at Planet Hollywood. You remember that, Ben? Oh, yeah.

Yeah, I do. They were just like, what's happening? we get to go on a wave pool. I know I felt bad for those guys because obviously they're not the Bachelor, so I feel like the floor kind of fell out from underneath them a little bit

and then of course Ben shimes in with me and like, let me tell you something, buddy. While Colton is making people cry and crying himself every single night, we're going to be in Vegas watching some of the best musicians in the world. Let me tell you who won. Not Colton.

And the funny The only thing is I think usually the IHart Radio Music Festival is the same night as the first rose ceremony. So Colton's going to literally be in hell. And Blake and Jason are just going to be like, what? The only thing that sucks about this is that I know The Bachelor gets his phone taken away just like all the other contestants. And that means that Colton won't have that fomo. He won't see that, man, I really shouldn't have pitched myself so hard on Paradise to be the Bachelor because I'm missing out on IHeart Fest. That's one thing.

Wells, I'm interested in this. Before we get started, we have a huge podcast. It's obviously Paradise has ended. We've seen the reunion. We've seen the proposals. We have some incredible guests coming on to the podcast. Some of, I guess, Bachelor in Paradise's favorites. We have an engaged couple.

We have our beloved segment. This will probably be the last time. We'll have Chicken Nugget. So Chicken, David Ruiz. David's coming on? I love Chicken, man. We call it Chicken Nugget. Yeah, that's good.

He's something else. But before we get into Paradise, well, you've been around Colton. Bachelor Nation reacted once the Bachelor was announced. I would not say it was positive. I was actually surprised that it was so much, I felt more negative than when Ari was announced. It was so negative that Mike Fyke,

the creator of the show had to come out and not apologize, but they were listening, Bachelor Nation. We understand that you maybe aren't excited about this. I mean, I've voiced my concerns about Colton on this podcast. He's a friend of mine, but I've just said, is he ready?

You know, I'm concerned that he, you know, he's too indecisive. I've said those things, but as a person, I love Colton. He's a great dude. But just as a Bachelor, let's go into this. Well, how do you feel about Colton becoming a new Bachelor? Well, I was never The Bachelor. I feel like I was like fourth place a couple years in a row. So thanks for rubbing that in there, bud.

But as an almost Bachelor, how do I feel about it? Well, here's the thing. I got to spend some time with. Colton actually in paradise and if you had asked me while we were filming in Salita I would have been like there's no way on God's Green Earth they're going to have this kid be the bachelor because he he was so on no here's a thing he knew exactly what he wanted he just didn't have the Cahones to actually say it until it was too late you know if he had just been completely transparent and was like hey listen I know we had this thing

Tia, but I really want to not date you. I think it would have been harder at first, and he kind of did that, but then I feel like the pressure and the weight of what he assumed everyone was going to think of him, watching it back, made him make his decision. And the one thing I said to him the other day when we were doing Good Morning America, when they announced it, I was like, hey man, you're a really nice guy. And even in Paradise, he says the thing of like, I've always done the thing that everyone wants me to do and not what I want to do, I was like, you can't do this with

this one. You need to do what you want to do what's best for you. And if you don't, then you're going to have, I don't know, an Ari moment where you're going to make the wrong decision and then you're going to regret that for the rest of your life. It's time to all of a sudden, you know, make the decisions that you think are best for you, not what's going to be best for your image or what people are going to perceive you as. And so I hope we took that to heart because, listen, I've never been a professional football player but the way people see you on the field or at events and stuff that affects you

and I think that that was to his detriment because he already knew coming in what that was going to look like on a national scale and the whole thing is this show it's all about authenticity and what I love about the show and the thing that I love when people say I got a bad edit it's like no you didn't get a bad at it dude

you just were super inauthentic and people can smell that from a freaking mile away man and the people that are authentic are beloved even if they make terrible decisions Joe was a really good example of that that guy is just like man I don't know I don't know if I should be here anymore I gotta go I want to leave now

like Joe turned into Arnold Schwarzenegger there for a second but everyone loves him because he's so real and authentic and then Colton's over here crying his eyes out and everyone's like I don't know we kind of knew you didn't like her man That is such an interesting point because I think it's why people like the both of you because you really were yourselves. Yeah.

Wait, I have a question for both of you that I really want you to think about and people listening. So when people are saying they're not happy with the choice of Colton, I think they're thinking about Colton like the guy, you know, like, oh, he should have been with Tia or whatever they're thinking about him. But I think if you think about it, what's going to be the most entertaining show to watch? I think it is going to be Colton. Does that make sense what I'm saying? It's like he might not be my favorite guy

compared to Blake, Jason, and Colton, but as a show to watch someone's, quote, journey, I think his will be the most interesting to watch. What if he becomes authentic? What if he figures out who he really is? You know what I mean? Like we're going to get to be a, what's that?

Like a... Plan the wall? Yeah. I think that if I could, if I was a producer, of the show, the way that I would be looking at why this is a really, really good idea for the franchise is Middle America is going to love this guy. He's just like a good, I assume like religious. I mean, obviously he's a virgin. He's like a perfect nice guy. And I think middle and football player obviously and just a monster of a man, I think that middle America is

really going to love this and I think the people that are upset are the I don't know the people from the East Coast and the West Coast they're like no we wanted the the not so nice guy but I am excited that someone might lose their V card in a fantasy suite I mean come on I totally want to watch I'm not afraid to admit it like I want to see what happened I mean I mean I here's what I want to have this is a this is what I want to have happened I want them to start a timer from when they close the fantasy sweet door to when... You know what is interesting?

15 seconds! Where to go, buddy? If Bolton was a girl, virgin bachelorette, they would never be able to do half of what they're doing. Like, did you guys see Kimmel teaching Colton about the birds and the bees? No. They would never be able to do that if it was a girl. So there is sort of a double standard, which, whatever.

Yeah, I can swallow that. Me too. I can do it. You know, the cool part about Colton, too, being the bachelor, is you said it well. For me, I understand why people are a little bit thrown off by it. You know, he was just with Tia. I think everybody in their read through the lines there and said, Colton never wanted to be with Tia. That was what he did in Paradise because he thought it was the right decision

because of what people would think of him, when he always wanted to be the bachelor, which in, in a sense, isn't a bad thing. He was just, like you said, he didn't have the Gahonex just to say, see you. This isn't going to work for me. I'm here to be clear to set the record straight, say we're on together so that I can move on to this next phase of life that I think is a good opportunity for me. If he would have done that, kudos to him. He's walking into a show. And, well, you said all of it. And I just want to reiterate it and sum it up a little bit, whereas the bachelor, you have no, no freedom to be indecisive. You have to be decisive.

If not, it looks terrible. It is terrible. It drags people along in an experience that they don't want to be dragged along into. It plays with their emotions during an experience that you cannot have their emotions being played with. He needs to be decisive. He needs to do what he thinks is best. He needs to follow his God-given intuition. Make these decisions clear.

But I think this is the part I'm excited about. For me, Wells, I don't know if you, I'm interested. Please answer this here. But for me, I realized more about myself during my time of The Bachelor, in any other season of my life. I came to be able to understand myself better, talk about myself in a more positive way, understand what I want a relationship better through this show.

I wonder if we're going to see Colton do the same thing during his incident on The Bachelor, because I know a lot of people that kind of felt that same way coming off the show. Yeah, I don't know. I just, there's just one moment that I had with Colton on Paradise that worries me a little bit going forward as the bachelor and I was kind of like backstage that's not really a great word for it but I wasn't on on set yet and I was like getting food before I had to go bartend and he had come back from

his date and he came up to me with Tia so excited and he was like hey man let me introduce to my girlfriend this is my girlfriend and he said girlfriend a couple times and and I was like that's that's super rad dude but in the back of my mind I was thinking are you trying to convince yourself of this or are you trying to convince me? this right now. And I don't want him to push with this whole thing because, like I said before, it's going to come across so forced and I don't know. I just want him to be, like you said, true to himself. And if he can do that, I think that he might give you like a run for the money in terms of like the best bachelor. Playing the part of the bachelor. Because even when he was here

and I like him, I felt like I'm playing the part of the guy that's probably going to be the bachelor. You know what I mean? And Jason did that too a little bit. I guess they can't really. help it? I don't know man like so when I remember because I went on bachelor at like right after Ben was the bachelor right and and I remember the conversations that we'd have with producers and they were talking about Ben's journey to becoming the bachelor and I remember Alon asked like telling me the story of asking you and you were like man I don't know I I need to do some soul searching I need to do some praying over this I need to talk to my family and it always weirds me out a little bit when they asked that question, and someone's like,

yeah, I'm totally ready to do this right now. And it's like, it's like, okay, you sound a little thirsty here, you know? And the one thing that was talked about a lot on Paradise was, okay, okay, so this dude, he jumped into Tia's DMs, you know, when everyone kind of thought that Tio was going to be the Bachelorette. And then he kind of like pulled back. And then he, you know, did Becca season, and that didn't work out. And then he went on Paradise. and everyone's like, this guy's just trying to be The Bachelor.

And I don't really think that's true just from meeting him and finding out how, like, of a wonderful guy he is. But if he did, like, Long Conn this whole thing, way to go. That is impressive. I mean, he did it. He got what he, I would think, was maybe hoping for it, not even knowing he was hoping for it. I would say I'm anxious and excited about this piece of the Bachelor.

because of all the stuff we're talking about. There's so many things that Colton knows that he's had issues with that the world after watching him on two seasons of the show knows he's had issues with that, but yet we know he's a good dude. We know his intentions are actually probably really good. And we're now just all wondering. Ashley, we can hear you. Ashley just joined you, Ben.

Oh, hi. Hey, Ashley. I was just saying that I think we're all going to watch him become. maybe the best bachelor of all times if he can just figure out where his intentions actually lie. And I think that's an exciting thing to watch. He doesn't have to be perfect going into it. What if he finds his perfect match that helped him become more perfect while he's on the show? Can Colton be more perfect, Ben? Is that possible? I don't know. I don't think so. I mean, he's a 6'5, 250-pound ripped, good-looking, smart, intelligent,

caring ex-football player. That seems like that. a good dude. I know. A lot of puppy picks, a lot of baby picks. He's really rolling good. Yeah, we got to stop it. I've told you that's your thing. Yeah. Well, the puppy pick need to stop. Once I get to talk to him again, that'll probably be my only piece of advice. We'll be, hey, Golden, I know you're a good dude. I know your intentions are actually really good. You've made some mistake along the way. One of those is way too many puppies. That's what the thing. Well, I love the thing. Ashley, we just finishing up our thoughts on Cole, and becoming the next bachelor.

We're all in favor of it. We think it's a good decision, but we think there's a lot of unknown entering into his season. Before we move on, the Paradise, actually, I would love to hear your thoughts. Okay, I have so many thoughts. We all know that I've been very attached to Colton and Tia storyline the entire time because it's probably the most paralleled storyline to Jared and mine

that has ever existed, right? So I'm going to need to, like, take a few weeks to really detach myself from that. my heart goes out to Tia I think she was so funny on Insta this week she was like hi America I just want to let you know that I'm still alive she's so she's so cute and funny I got giant sunglasses

from Becca that are covering up the big bags under my eyes yes you guys come on how can you not feel for her it is not easy to go from getting broken up too like breakups are hard in the first place right so then imagine getting broken up with on TV

still pretty much being in love with this guy and then he becomes the bachelor and even if you choose not to watch the show he is going to be all over your internet even if you choose not to be on instagram you're going to see him at the grocery store you're going to hear about him on the radio it's going to be totally inescapable for her and it's going to be the saddest thing ever normally we see somebody who was dumped not somebody who did the dumping yeah i know we need to get jenn saviano in here and ask her how she felt about it here's my question to you ashley uh is tia going to be back on uh the bachelor there's no way no way she's not going to do that to herself no but i wouldn't be

surprised they brought her in for a cameo 100% to freak him out for a second right 100% he's she's going to be there yeah and how how much do we bet that there's going to be a limo full of virgins and then there's going to be a limo full of tia's what like southern girls no like legit like their names are tia all right just so it haunts him throughout the entire time i just want Raven to come on and just yell at him for no real reason whatsoever, just to, like, freak that's what I want. I just want to see her screaming, absolutely screaming. Well, doesn't have a whole episode to breaking down The Bachelor.

It's going to be a good off-season. We're going to bring back the bitches. We're going to talk personal life a little bit more. We're going to talk Colton and all the juice surrounding his upcoming season. We'll bring Wells back. But today we're going to talk about Paradise because Wells is an expert at it. But Ashley's an expert at having beautiful hair. Ashley, how do you do it?

It's with sugar bear hair. Imagine all the other celebrities who's, who your hair envious of, and they probably use sugar bear hair. Wells, I have always told you that you're never going to lose your hair. You have that ability. So I just need to know how do you keep it shiny? Sugar bear hair, of course. You never told me that.

No, Ben, we're worried about your hair line, man. Yeah, you're worried about your own hair, Ben. Okay. I want to. Okay. Good point. Yeah, a little bit. Good point.

So go to sugarbearhair.com slash almost famous for beautiful hair like Wells and a healthier you. That's sugarbearhair.com slash almost famous. Sugarbearhair.com slash almost famous to get the kind of hair of your favorite celebrity. You know my one complaint about sugar bear hair is? You want to eat all of that.

You're only supposed to eat two of them. I didn't know that at first, and I had, like, 17. Brandy was like, dude, you can't do that. That's not good for you. They're actually better than regular gummy bear. Right? Yeah, but their strain is real. Yeah, all right.

Yeah, they're good. You know what? We actually, I just gave a bottle to my grandma, or maybe my aunt was talking about giving one to my grandma, because my grandma had breast cancer, lost all of her hair. It's growing back. But she was wondering if sugar bear hair was actually a good replacement to help that hair grow back stronger and healthier.

I don't know, but it could be. It could be a good idea. Before we move into our next guest, I want to talk to Ashley and Wells about one thing. And then I'm going to kind of stop talking for this next segment because I'm on the road. These two are going to take it away. I just found out that, like, all of the celebrities and McConaughey's, the cuchers of the world, these guys, they're doing hair plug. Do you know that? Ashton?

I've heard, I've heard, I've heard, I've heard McConaughey. I've heard that one. Yeah, McConaughey totally heard of. Also heard Tom Brady recently. Nick Cage, definitely throwing in the plugs. Hey, listen, man, if it makes you feel a little bit better about yourself, I say go ahead and do it, you know? I agree.

I definitely agree with that. That was my point to this is I heard this. My friends were talking about this weekend up at Walloon Lake in northern Michigan. We are celebrating Labor Day together, and we're all talking about the fact that all these celebrities have beautiful hair, and that one, and one of the girls stands up, she goes, yeah, but they all get hair plugs. And there wasn't this like, oh, that's, you know, terrible. It was like, no, that makes

sense. Why wouldn't you do that? If it makes you feel a little better, go for it. Get some hair plug. Yeah, if you have the money, I don't get why you wouldn't do it. Yeah, anyways. All right. Hey, we, Ashley and Wells, we have a newly engaged couple, the most recent from the Back of the Paradise franchise. Please welcome the Lovebirds onto the Almost Famous Podcast.

Chris and Crystal, are you out there? Yes. What's going on, guys? Is that the goose? Is the goose there? Oh, my God. Can someone for once and for all please explain why they call you goose? Like, I never got it.

And then it was this nickname that wouldn't die. Chris wouldn't let it go. No, and then Crystal's like, tell me and the goose. And I'm just like, what the hell? Why is he called this? Well, I just remember like every rose ceremony, Harrison would walk you in and be like, how you doing, goose? And it was like, oh, man, like, he will not let it go. Yeah, where did it come from?

first off I wanted it to die like the very first time I ever heard it and clearly they just kept resurrecting it but it came actually in my casting weekend for Bachelorette and you didn't hear it at all when I was on Becca season but then for some reason they wanted to bring it

to life in Paradise which I'm still suffering with to this day I'm sorry Chris you also told me something last week that annoys you and that is all the comparisons to other famous people online. We got Danny Wood from

Newkins of the block. And then we have Eddie from friends. Guy from friends. Yeah. And then there's a couple more floating out there, but you said it really annoys you. Oh, man, they're just horrible comparison. There can be only one goose. If I can just get someone, that was at least a good comparison. I could be

happy with it. But a lot of these ones are just not too flattering to say the least. Hey, I think Ben Stiller is ridiculously good-looking. And everyone said you look at Ben Siller and that is not a bad thing wait I was just looking at your guys as I was just looking at your guys's Instagram um I think it was yours crystal and you were asking what your like uh celebrity name should be have you guys come to a conclusion on that well I toss it out there to the math to kind of get a consensus

and it I think that glitter goose yep you know in the lead glitter goose Glitter goose. Wait, remind us of the glitter allusion. Oh, I don't remember this? Oh, my God, it's glitter. Yes.

Oh, glitter. Oh, okay. Yes, it is. Well, why isn't it just Christall? Yeah. I like this tall. Oh, yeah, that's better. Oh.

Yeah, I love that way better. It's more classier. It's more appealing. But I don't know. Glitter goose. I can only imagine a wedding filled with glitter down the aisle and a bunch of bees just flying. Yeah.

I don't know how I feel about that thing. Wait, wait, Ashley, what is yours? Ours is Joshley. Jashley? Yeah. Who invented celebrity couple names? It's the worst. It's so bad.

Do you have one? We have a Jashley and Janner message that goes all the time. Yeah. Ashley and Janner. God, I'm barfing inside. What's yours, Wells? We got swells for a while, but I didn't like that because. Wells is cute.

Yeah, but that meant Sarah wasn't getting a whole lot of love on the name. So I threw out High Latums because I felt like that was an even number of letters in it. And Ben, what's your celebrity couple name? Oh, yeah. It's baby for Ben and Amy. Oh, there it is. Oh, Chris. Let's go back to you.

You guys are both, I don't want to say villains on your season, but that's a lot. kind of what you were but you told me when we talked last week that you never really bonded over the villain thing because you well they didn't know you never saw chris being the villain and chris never saw him being the villain like going to the paradise so when i went to paradise the only the first episode was actually out and so i thought based on my experience i knew that there would be some ups and downs but i didn't think coming out of mexico and getting a text from my mom and all my friends saying what the hell is going on and then actually seeing it back I was completely thrown off but then it kind of makes sense because that kind of translates

what happened the first few days the first week in paradise can I say what the way that I perceived it um like just from like watching from the bar yeah yeah okay so and I did watch both seasons and if nothing else you guys were both people that like went for what you wanted you didn't sit back ever you made an active role to like go and get the thing that you wanted in your respective seasons right and i think a lot of people that go on paradise let's just let's just call a spade of spade they want to go on tv again and they want to rack up numbers or whatever the heck it is that they go on the show for but you guys were two people that like really really wanted to find love and i hate to use the right reasons thing but regardless of the fact that everyone thought that

you guys were villains or whatever the reasons like people were angry at you is because you guys were going for the one thing that you wanted. So when you guys got to paradise, you guys actually went for each other where a lot of people were just like floundering around and enjoying the drinks and the sunshine, whereas you guys were an authentic real couple and it was really, really nice to see that unfold.

And I'm glad that you guys got like a different perception from the nation to see like what being there for the right reasons really looks like. Oh, thank you so much. You know, I'm looking to put it that way because I think we both felt just were just very dominant people and definitely voice our opinions

when we're upset or not afraid to have a conversation. Whereas I think definitely my time being on The Bachelor, I noticed a lot of girls would have problems with Ari's actions and we would talk about it, but when it would come to the group, they would just, you know, be very timid and be quiet because having an opinion that stands apart from everyone else makes you really stand, you know, isolated in that circumstance.

And I think where we came into Bachelors, really where Goosey and I connected was it was actually on the second day. Wait, time out. Time out. I have to. Did you just call him Goosey? He gives me Goosey. Oh. My God.

And he loves it. Don't even deserve it. Like, you love it. Oh, my. Wait, Chris, what's your pet name for her? I just call her babe I mean there's really nothing I can't call her like

Glitter Babe or anything I just call it too You know I don't know the two of you at all I have never met either of you I hope we never hang out Because if I have to hear Goosey and Babe Being thrown back and forth at each other

For like two hours I will get sick It's more than a private setting Except on this podcast which has got hundreds of thousands of listeners. Yeah. I would call me in the bedroom. Yeah.

Oh. You know, I got a sack of feathers. I got a feathered. Hey, sorry to interrupt you. You can go back to your train of thought if you can catch back. Sorry about that. Oh, yeah. I could not let that one go.

I'm sorry. It's all good. You know, we're, uh, Chris is really connected, but it was date to it. It was to leave a conversation about our fathers. And Chris kind of just casually mentioned, like his dad, not being a part of his life. And it really struck a chord with me because, if you guys know, like, we both grew up with single mom, really hustling and working a lot and just not able to be there.

And so we developed, as no children, very strong, very independent, very ambitious personalities to kind of get what we needed because, I mean, it was really never provided unless we went after it. And when I was doing press, the day before Paradise started, I was like, you know, I think I actually need to look for someone with a background like me, kind of that upbringing and looking for someone a little more damaged and flawed because that has been just such a disconnecting past relationship, whereas I was always thinking the perfect guy with a perfect family. But in return, and you really feel like not full, not enough. and it's just hard to explain. And so meeting Chris and hearing that, I mean, it was just like, that's just amazing connection that I knew immediately with something really special. And now your mom and your moms are best friends. They are.

They have a group chat going. Stop. They're like soul sisters. Yeah, they do. That is so nice. Crystal, I have to applaud you. You did Paradise so well because you would always close. the book on one relationship

before going to another, like you did with Kenny. And then like you did with when Connor came in, you were so upfront with him. You're like, if you really want to take me on this date, you can but just know it's not going to be

promising for you. Right. Yeah, I really thank you so much. And that was hard because the whole time, Conner was a person I was really excited to me. He was the one guy. Because he has a good headshot. And that's all I was going off of them.

That's literally all I have. You know, fitness. I feel like we vibe out of everyone, you know? And, you know, when he came down, it was like the night before Chris and I just had this incredible moment. And that was really hard. And I wanted to get Connor for a chance of finding

someone. And as long as you knew it, like, I felt like we owed it to both of us to kind of explore it. And really coming off that date truly made me realize how much I wanted to continue. you're getting to know Chris and just really cut out all of the relationships and really makes that my priority what was the moment that I know there's the one that you guys go on the date and Chris you were like I think I think tonight tonight that I'm going to tell her

that I love her right but but Mike what I'm wondering is when was the moment that you realized that you were falling in love with her that you loved her I think it was the moment where it was the night it was the morning after the rose the second rose ceremony and she pulled me aside and she was very disappointed in me she was not happy with how i was being and who who i was being in front of other people and she felt as if that i was just acting as a hard shell and not being my normal self and being vulnerable and she said something that really hit me and she said listen you're going to lose me and you're going to have no friends in paradise and you're going to leave here alone if you don't develop the self-awareness and show people the real person

of who you are. And there were some incidents where I needed to apologize for other people, Tia included, and I broke down. I actually, I cried in front of it was me, Colton, Atrid, and Kevin, and I just broke down and cried in front of everyone. And it was in that moment that I realized this girl is being so caring and giving me advice and really reaching out with a helping hand. shows that she really wants me to become a better version of myself, and she sees the potential in me. And at that moment is when I realize that this is a woman that will always have my back and be that ride or die wife that I've always desired and just never thought I would find it. And here she is right before my eyes in paradise.

And if you can fall in love with someone when they're yelling at you, that is a really important thing. If they're mad at you and you're still like, oh, my God, I love you. That's strong. It was, it was an eye-opening moment. You could even see it in the episodes. I was so aggressive and very different in the first couple with my tonality. And then after that, it was just so relaxed, so calming. And I just felt so comfortable. And I think me being comfortable but just allowed me to show who I really am as a man and other person.

You, you know, I have to. The one thing I have here is, as I picked up on your relationship, I've been wondering it ever since. I brought up to Ashley at a podcast episode a couple weeks back. there was a moment, Chris, where you planned a date for Crystal for her to teach you yoga. And it felt like a sweet gesture. And from watching it as a viewer, it felt like a sweet gesture that fell short because of this. And this is how I picked up on it.

I could be completely wrong. And I've been wondering it ever since. Crystal's response to you was, you want me to work on our date. And I picked up on that because I felt like. She at that point was either irritated with you, she wasn't into the relationship. And then all of a sudden, and this is the part of, I think, one of the failures of Paradise this year is I miss, as a viewer, the transition from, if I'm right here, from Crystal being irritated with you to Crystal falling in love with you. Because all of a sudden, after that date, she was in love with you. That was something that surprised me.

Okay, I would love to explain that. Because how that came across, I was actually really disappointed because let me just fill it a little bit. That was right after that was the same day I had that conversation with Chris when I told him and I, and I, babe, I delivered a lot more nice way. I go, look, I see you spiraling out of control. I see that you're stepping into this still and roll and I have a feeling you're going to leave with no friends and a lot of regrets. And I was like, I want to be the person for you that I was, I had when I was on The Bachelor, who's someone who could have lends it out of hand and help me navigate out of the hole I was digging myself in. And so I go, I don't know. I think you need to write wrong.

You need to get ownership. and you have the power. Get your fucking power back. And I was like, I don't, I just want to give you that information. I'm upset with you. I'm going to leave it and see what you do with it. And it was him running the wrong from taking that action. And then that evening planning the yoga date.

So I spent all day apart from Chris just allowing him to do what he needed to do to rediscover himself and step into his own because it was just so guarded and trite and trying to be someone he wasn't. And I could just see it because I've been there before, right? Trying to be someone I wasn't to be accepted and just totally backfires. And so it was when Chris Bradney to, his way to apologize to man up and own it. And I was like, watch he's going to totally have me teach yoga. I just know it.

And so we get there. And I was like, yep, as I knew. And so I was like, you know what? I'm going to let you do it. And it was this moment, you guys. It was watching him fail so hard to try to do something so sweet for me. And I just remember looking at him like, you are terrible. You are terrible.

But it was so endearing that I was like, wow, he took this feedback. You grew from it. You apply it. That is what I'm really looking for in a man and a partner. And he went me over with his actions. Has he gotten better at yoga? you guys have been together. We haven't had yoga sessions, but we've been working out together.

She's putting me through some workouts. And, you know, the yoga will come. I still need to learn some more poses before I can actually take her on one and teach her myself.

All right, let's get back to you guys So I heard that there is one little issue in your relationship And that is in the bedroom surprisingly Whoa

Yeah, we're talking about the puppies, huh? Yeah They've actually That got weirder I was with you She sometimes Wayne Like to sleep above the pillows And believe it or not

at our last couple weekends, right before the reunion, we actually had the dog sleep in the bed, and I got up, and the dog literally had chewed right on my pillow right when I got up. And it looked like he, it looked like he pooped out of his mouth because that was the texture. They really did. I started gagging and freaking out. And that happened right before the reunion in that interview that I have with you, actually. So, yeah, besides that, they've been behaving better.

And it's just, it's tough sometimes. The last thing I want to do is wake up in the middle of the night. that on my face. Oh, that's alarming. That's a visual I don't need to have. In defense of Wayne and Chuckie, Chris, you were feeding them like turmeric curry chicken. So not only was there was a stain in like the carpet and many because of the turmeric. I'm not really buying it because if you guys were eating that yourselves, there's a good chance that it was Chris. And what an easy scapegoat. This is for Wayne and Chuckie, all right? Yes.

Hey, I got a one over the dog part. So anything that I make, I'm giving it to them. Can we, like, pivot to the actual, like, engagement portion of Paradise? Okay, so I don't know. Do you remember seeing me that day? Yeah. Because. Because, so I got to do the coolest thing ever, which was sit at the bar and watch all the engagements happen in front of me, which

They didn't let me do last year. And this year, they let me have headphones so I could hear everybody. Because it's so windy down there. You don't know, like, what people are really, really saying. And I was like, let me hear them. I want to hear them. And your guys' engagement was so freaking cute and heartfelt and authentic that I may or may not have squeezed out of tear. But don't worry.

You're never going to see it on TV because they cut me out of the entire show anyway. ways. So my question is, to you, Crystal, did you expect that, or did you think he was going to be like, let's see how things are going to work out afterwards in the real world? You know, I didn't know because when we were in the same as we see Crystal and he goes, I want you to know that if a proposal happens, it's me choosing because I want this. I want you to know that. I was like, oh, I'm gay.

And I was really nervous because, I think, both of us had talked about, especially early on in our relationship, how commitment is scary. And, like, Chris has never lived with someone before, like, an act, you know, and having those commitments is scary. And honestly, marriage is something I didn't know if I ever wanted because I just didn't have really any role model for a successful partnership. So I've always kind of felt like I'd be, like, the aunt or, like, alone. and Chris and I talked about this a lot and it was the night before the proposal when I was like an interview and it kind of hit me that

like something just shifted in me and I didn't want to lose Chris and I think I realized if he didn't propose I'd be really disappointed because I wanted him to know in everyone the world that I'm committed to this relationship and, like, I'm here for the long call.

So when he pretended to break up with me, I was a little like, what is the fucking? Yeah. I mean, I wasn't funny now, right? Jordan and Jenna say that they're going to get married next Paradise. Would you guys be down for a Paradise wedding? I know for a fact we've definitely started to discuss what we want in a wedding and being in the stand with no shoes definitely is something we want. Now, if it's in paradise, that could be a possible opportunity or if it's in a beautiful vacation area where we just want family and friends, that might be in a discussion too.

So as far as right now, and I think, Babe, I think you can agree to this, that we definitely want the beach. We definitely want our feet in the sand when we tie the knot. And I don't want to have to worry about utensils or napskins or anything other than good food and wine. So if I'm going to take care of that, we'll see what happens. I can serve the wine if you guys need any help. Wells better be there. Wells make the new wedding just a little bit better. I promise you that.

So I think what everybody out there is listening has been waiting for for this whole podcast with you, this whole segment. Are you definitely going to get married? Are you going to do this thing? I'm definitely, we're definitely getting married. Yes. There's no doubt in my mind. And I say that without hesitation because when I proposed to her and I let her know this that I only believe in getting down on one knee once.

And I did this for us as a collective unit because there was a moment where we were dancing in that water on that one-on-one date. And I looked into her eyes and all I saw was the fact of forever. and knowing that I developed the best friendship with her in Paradise she is someone that I never wanted to lose and that's the main reason why I got down on one knee and proposed her.

That's a little baby. Yeah, I mean, we're all in. And it's the last time I ever want to hear that term. That is so sweet and yet I must speak for the thousands and thousands of people listening that are like they knew each other for three weeks. Like, is there a little cuckoo-ness to that a little bit?

Have you met him? Here's a lot. Yeah, maybe that's it. So I talked to my mom about this when I got back, and I said, we were there from day one. And from day one all the way until the end, I think it's over 20-something days that you're together. And knowing that we connected on the second day, the amount of time that you spend with someone with not having distractions, with not having anyone interrupt you and really getting to know them for who they are and spending that much quality time, I believe it's equivalent to maybe six months to a year dating in the real world.

But with this, you have no distractions and you have no one interrupting a bond that you create and form, which I think is why Paradise is successful in all honesty. I mean, it's like dating in the 1940s or 30s. You don't have anything else with a focus on that person. Can I play devil's advocate for one second? Yeah. Do you think that maybe the fact that there isn't any distractions and you're not always going to be living in the Bachelor bubble, that it could be, you know, you may not be as strong as you may think. Is this projection right here?

No, I'm just saying, like, I totally see that. I've always said that that is the answer that Bachelor in Paradise works better than the regular show is because you do get just 24-7 for a whole month. And I really do think that format is better. But just speaking on behalf of knowing what happened with me and Kevin, when we were together in Bachelor Winter Games, everything was like so easy and fun.

and then we left the bubble and I was like, oh, we're totally different people. Yeah, I think it comes. I think it's fair to say that, but I also think it's something where we've noticed to these last couple months, we've obviously have not been able to be around in the public. And so we've had to be very low key and have our couples weekends, but we've been long distance. Well, I've been on one side of the coast. She's been on the other.

And there's been monumental moments where we've actually progressed and have taken strides in the relationships. that really showed us and identified that we are committed to one another and we have a vested interest and not only the love that we share, but this relationship and growing and evolving for longevity. So what's going to happen next? Are you going to move like out west, Chris? Or like where does this, what's the next step here?

So right now we're actually, I'm going to be coming to the West Coast. We're going to do some living with her. And then we're going to, she's going to be coming. later on to Orlando for a little bit and living with me, but we also both work remote. So we're actually testing different cities and want to know where we want to live together, but we've already made the conscious decision that we're ready to live together. We've had some amazing couples weekends and spent quality time where we see how we act and live with one another, especially with our businesses.

And that is something we both agree to. So we're going to be living somewhere. We just don't know where, but we're taking action together. Well, I'm really happy for you guys. When we were filming the show, I remember calling my girlfriend and she was asking, like, what was going on and stuff. And I was telling her who the couples were, which I'm not supposed to do it, whatever. Don't worry about it. Yeah.

Does Harrison listen to this show? So I remember telling her about you guys, and I think that she did the same thing that America did. It was like, no freaking, no freaking way. And I was like, I promise you, they're like the cutest freaking couple in the world. They're perfect for each other. I can't believe that these two wackadoos have found themselves on the same beach at the same time to find each other. And this is like so amazing and beautiful. And I'm just really, really happy for you guys.

And I feel like I'm one of the only people other than the cast that can say like, no, I think that one was really, really real. And so good luck to you guys going forward. Congrats, guys. Thank you so much. You just look so happy. Thank you. Thank you. We appreciate it.

Ashley, I wanted to give you a present, an engagement present. What? What? I wanted to send you my total body guy's workout program because I know that all girl are all about, you know, gaining that lean muscle. And so I wanted to set that over to you. Oh, well, thank you. I need to tone my arms up for these dresses that I chose.

Girl, I got to you. I have a whole section for arms and abs. Oh, thank you. I got you. So excited. Goose, what are you getting me? You getting it? Did I get a gift?

Yeah, you're going to be the bartender. All right. There we go. Keep making your work. Keep making you work for a present. Hey, but this time you're plus one, it can't be Yuki. It's going to be fair. All right, cool.

That's fair. Perfect. All right. Talk to you guys later. Bye, go see. Bye, Goosey. Bye. Oh, my God.

Well, before we move on, Chris kind of still got a bad at it this season, but everybody who I talked to, who was there in Paradise, loved him. So what were your feelings on him? I loved, the only people that I didn't really like, I think, was Leo, to be honest with you. Like, I, you know, it's a weird, like the Jordan thing is really funny to me that I think that he's perceived as hated. but in actuality he's like really loved by everybody and I think Chris was the same way I think once you embrace their kookiness then you fall in love with them you know and so I do think that everyone really really liked Chris and same same with Crystal like to be honest with you like I fall in the same thing that I think everybody does this is a fan of the show is that I watch

Crystal and I was like oh my god she's gonna be she's gonna annoy me I like at my bar I'm gonna be so annoyed by her she's gonna have that like like whisper voice like hi you know and it was like another conversation I remember having with Sarah being like no she's actually really rad I actually love hanging out with her at the bar she's not one of those annoying people at my bar and so edit aside they are perfect for each other like the fact that they came together was really cute and I got to actually watch that engagement and I I was really happy for them. That's so cool.

Can we talk about food for a second? Yeah. You didn't serve food. You just bartended. Yeah. And I didn't even bartend very well, to be honest with you. I needed help from Blue Apron, you know? I really needed them to hook it up with some farm fresh ingredients and step-by-step

Whenever I hear the word wells in, like, multiples, I always think of Daniel saying, well, well, well, during your entrance, because I watched that entrance a zillion billion times because that was the same clip that they put my dog in the sky. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I watch it a lot. I remember that. Oh, Daniel. I thought for sure that crazy Canadian would be back in Mexico.

this year. Oh, well, he was actually on Bachelor in Paradise, Australia, so I think that's probably why he was like, I can't do it five times. That's a thing? Yeah, that's what Jared was on. No, stop it. Yeah. Oh, I guess it would have been his fourth time. Yeah. No. Wow. No thing. And actually,

yesterday, Jared and I were at a hotel in New York City, and somebody stopped him from Australia and says, hey, we know you from Bachelor in Paradise, Australia. Oh, wow. Yeah, it was wacky. Wait, can I just, can I talk to you about Kevin for one second, it won't be weird, but it's just one thing that I

noticed watching back, number one, by the way, if you don't know, I have a voice for my dog, it's like, oh, hey guys, how's it going? Which, by the way, that's Kevin's voice. Yeah, he sounds like Carl the Bloodhound, like, I don't know, Astrid, she's great. Here's one thing, I felt bad for Kevin, because everyone kept coming to him to be like, hey, I'm going to leave paradise right now. Like it happened with Colton and then it happened again with Eric. Yeah. And I was just like, poor Kevin. He's like, why is everyone coming

to me being like, I got it going out, guys. And I wonder. Joe didn't go to him. Joe, no. No. I don't know. So I haven't, I'm not that far ahead. So I don't know exactly how that looks. But I just felt bad. Like, it was going to get into his head, you know? Like everyone's coming to me to leave.

Am I supposed to leave too? Like, what's happening here? I felt bad for him. I think it's probably just because he's pretty warm and he gives good hugs. Yeah. I'm like, well, I don't know. But it is a pretty good impression.

How about that, huh? Eh? You know, I thought that there was a parallel and you'd let me know if I'm correct being that you were actually there between Joe and Kendall's breakup and Kevin and Astrid's breakup. And that is the pressure that

paradise has when it comes to like having to decide whether you basically don't have any choices you go we're either going to break up or we're going to get engaged there's no longer that option of leaving as girlfriend and boyfriend and i feel like both of those relationships ended because there was the pressure to get engaged yeah i think so i mean like camille and alice kind of did that right oh i guess you're right we haven't talked about last night what in the world well yeah but i the reason that I think that Camille and Annalise got away with that is because Camille was somebody who walked in later. So I think you're like, oh, you've only known each other for a week. So of course you can leave as boyfriend and girlfriend. But if you've known each other for three weeks, you don't have that option. But then what in the world last night or tonight, you know, on the reunion? Why would he do that on? Oh, my God. Camille and Annalise, you mean. Yes, that's what I'm saying. Oh, my goodness gracious. That was the worst. Like, Ashley, talk everybody through what happened in case someone's listening and hasn't seen it or...

I haven't seen it. And I also wasn't invited... Why were you invited to the reunion and not me? What is happening here? I was covering it for access. Oh, okay. In the back of the press room. So walk everybody through what happened.

And then, like, we'll talk about our thoughts. So basically, Annalise comes on stage and she talks about how... I don't want to use the word desperate, but I'm going to. How she just constantly had somebody she had her eye on. And it just didn't work for so long until Camille walked in. And then even when Camille walked in, he still went out with Shoshana. And that whole witch thing is a whole different thing. But she's up there.

She's talking about how she finally found happiness with Camille. She went on to go meet his family. They hung out multiple times from leaving paradise to the reunion show. And she apparently didn't feel that strong going into the reunion show because she mentioned to him a couple days earlier. She goes, whatever you do, please don't. break up with me on the reunion show. And what does he do? He goes and breaks up with her on the couch

next to Harrison and in front of the entire audience and America. And she's like, wow, this guy is a dick wad. Let me ask you a question. What was more cringeworthy? Luke and Stasi or

Annalise and Camille? So I'll tell you that back in the press room people are going like, oh my gosh, it's Luke all over again. And I think it was definitely Camille and Annalise that was worse because at least with Luke there was some sort of

conversation with him and Stasi that there was like some weird misinterpretation with and Luke maybe yeah his bad move was just not keeping his touch with her Has anyone asked Camille why did you do it on the show?

I mean I'm sure he he needed to do it. He had been suggested to do it but it was like, no, you have free will in this world. And that was the lowest of the low. And you think you have to know that you're going to look like the super villain if you dump a girl on TV. And do we think, okay, and I mean this in the best way possible, which is a total.

It's not going to come off that way. But do we think Annalise's neediness hurts her so badly? Like that's what she needs to go work on. Do you know what I mean? Like if we're going to take this as a learning experience, like her desperation. could be felt by everybody, every episode, every, everything. Okay, so as the guy who was there, and not to really take up for Camille, but to kind of just paint the picture a little bit better,

it wasn't so much desperation. That's how it comes across on TV, and I don't know if that's really what it was. I think it was delusion. Oh. She would come to the bar and be like, we're soulmates. We're going to, you know, this is perfect. We're going to have kids.

And she would, like, talk about this fairy tale. And everyone would be like, what are you talking about? Well, I think it was her that said, we're one of the strongest couples here. And they had met like nine minutes before. Yeah, nine minutes before. She said, and of course, they could have edited it in a way in which this was a clip

and later in the week. But she did say, I think, three days into meeting Camille, after Jared and I got engaged, she said, I could see myself getting engaged to Camille right now. Like, if he were to ask me, I would say yes, after three days. And that's like really sad. Yeah.

I mean, I was talking to someone about this exact thing. And I think when people watch the show, it's so easy to kind of rip on Annalise for how she acted on who she is. And this person I was talking to about it was like, man, I wish that I was like her. I wish that I wanted something so badly that I was willing it to happen, which is what she was trying to do. and so I'm in a weird spot where like I was listening to her talk and I remember at the bar being like I think you should be careful about this one because it seemed like it wasn't being reciprocated yeah but she was so I mean like to be honest with you Ashley you can probably speak to this a little bit too like she was like willing this thing to happen and so often like when we're in relationships and whatnot we become passive and we kind of let it fall out yeah And say what you want about her. She was, like, not going to let that happen. It just didn't work out.

She just didn't find someone that felt the exact same way, which sucks. But that's just how it goes. I totally get, you know, making stuff up in your mind to make you feel better. And she just didn't have the guy in paradise. Like, she didn't find her person in paradise. And she so desperately wanted to leave with somebody. She was forcing a lot. And from somebody who knows him, is Camille just totally dead behind the

the eyes he reminds me of in rocky four the russian like just like spleen like very short declarative sentences and like doesn't have anything behind it i don't i don't want to go off of an edit that i'm seeing on tv but he doesn't seem to be very soulful i still don't know who he is or where he came from or how he got there or what who he is i don't know i wanted him to say alice i will crush your heart where is he from he's from paul he's from he's from paul he's from he's from Poland, I think, or he's Polish. Okay, okay. Yeah, I don't know. He is a 30-year-old male model

from Monroe, New York, who says his occupation is social media participant. Yeah. Ex-social media participant on this season. This is from when he was on The Bachelorette. Yeah. I don't know. He didn't, there wasn't a whole lot of, I

mean, he might be astrophysicist, but like my perception of him was like, give me drink. I like you. Okay, bye-bye now. Like that was it. He is a Polish immigrant. But, you know, he's nice. Well, people probably want to know if you are, if you are on the Paradise campus sleeping in the same room with these people, are you? Tell us your situation down there. No, I got it real cushy. I got to be honest with you. You got to sleep at the hotel.

No, I do not stay at the Vedanta, which gets a whole lot of airplay. The Vedanta got more airplay than I did this season. That's so terrific. Let's be fair. Emmy and Bella got more airplay than I did this season, and they're babies. I stay at like this. So it's, Paradise is at this, like, super rad little resort called Playa Escondita, and it's right outside of this little town called Sallulita,

which is, like, 45 minutes from Porto Vallarta, and Saita is, like, this, like, little surf town, and I lived in this, like, in this, like, at a little hotel, like, boutique hotel. that was like seven minutes away because they would always be like hey we need you now like something's happening now because I wasn't always on set so I was just always like on the ready to go serve drinks and that's where I was and I really wish that the beds were a little more comfortable you mean like you wish you slept on Bowlen Branch sheets oh they're so good bowl and branch makes the softest most comfortable 100% organic cotton sheets that you will ever

We missed Bill Clinton, and he is rumored to be one of the Bowling Branch users, according to the internet.

Oh, wait, did we forget that Clinton's alive? Yeah, I think we did. Wait, so there's six presidents alive? There's five former and one current. Clinton was dead until he saw Ariana Grande perform in their day, and he got brought back to life. It was the most amazing picture I've ever seen. Chicken Man is on the line.

Stop. Chicken nugget time. Wells, this is one of Ben and my favorite segments. Chicken has now been on this four times. Before we get him on, let us in on what you think of chicken, having spent so much extra time with him. All right. So David was a frequent patronage.

of my bar and um he's a i think he likes to ease his anxieties yeah with a little drink yeah i think so i i i loved dave like he was one of my favorite uh people to come to my bar to be honest with you he's i mean you can tell how funny he is he wasn't taking anything too seriously which was which was nice and um i really love people who like have jobs other than like i'm selling Instagram pictures from the Bachelor world and he was one of those guys you know he's getting his MBA yeah super smart dude and I was like what are you even

doing here other than torturing this poor Jordan kid but I have to be honest to you my favorite moment of the entire season happened with David with the giant dog I got to see it firsthand and I don't know

if they really showed it there's this moment where David and Jordan are sitting next to each other after Jordan has murdered the dog into the surf and they're talking and like kind of I think David's like kind of apologizing

and the shot is of the bear flopping around in the surf and like them in the foreground like talking and apologizing and I swear to God I spit out like the drink I was drinking and I could not stop it was the funniest thing I've ever seen in the

world and after that moment I was like all right chicken he's a man. Aw, David. I appreciate it. I remember you in the background. I saw you dying, saw you laughing. And that's exactly what it was.

Me and Jordan were just sitting there. We were just chalking it up. And it was kind of after the whole blow up. And we were just like, dude. I mean, I was like, I'm sorry. I didn't really mean for it to get out of hand. It was meant to be funny. And we actually talk about it at the reunion.

So hopefully they show that. But yeah, they didn't show our little sit down. It was funny, though. It was funny. It was the best. So what are your thoughts about all the engagements, dude? Oh, man. I mean, Paradise must have worked, right?

Yeah. Paradise works. I'm so happy for Chris and Crystal. Really happy for Jenna and Jordan, and happy for the other couples that form. You know, strong couples and watching it back, you really get to see their relationships develop, and it's been great.

You know, Paradise works, and you get to see it first hand. You really? A lot of time together at the bar. You had a hand, I feel. liking the love story of Jordan and Jenna, you know, because you can't, you tested that relationship, like you really tested that relationship. Did you ever think that that would turn out the way it did? No, not in a million years. I mean, they're both like a good level of crazy for each other. But yeah, I didn't think they'd be engaged. It's crazy to look back on it and be like,

wow, they're actually engaged. I mean, yeah, I tested their relationship and they held up. Benoit tested their relationship and it's held up and, you know, good for them. They seem like they're madly in love and I'm really, I'm happy for them. It's great. So, David, you're at the reunion show and let's talk about the couples who broke up and now are kind of back together again. We have Joe and Kendall. You think that they're going to last? I hope so. Joe and Kendall are great. Kendall is, you know, you can tell she's super smart, really fun, really easy going. And Joe's similar. Joey, you know, they're very compatible. I feel like their personalities kind of bounce off of each other. And, you know, they're great for each other. I think the one thing

that could get in the way of that is, you know, distance. You know, Joe being tied to Chicago and Kendall being in L.A., you know, distance can definitely get the best of them. And I think that's ultimately why their relationship went downhill in paradise. I think they just started to think about, okay, how are logistics going to go? And, you know, one thing led to another. hearing, like Kevin mentioned, that little spiral that people go down there. You know, I know that we've all kind of been there. But I think that's kind of what happened. But I'm hoping that they end up together.

They seem awesome. They're great. Love them both. Now we see that Joe is going to be on Dancing with the Stars. Whoa, did I miss that on the after show? Did they announce that earlier tonight? Yeah. So Chris Harrison was like, I have something that's going to ease the whole long distance thing

between you guys. Joe if you would like we have a spot open for you on Dancing with the Stars and the guy was just mind blown he says he's a horrible dancer I hope he lasts long enough so that he and Kendall can figure out the whole long distance thing

Kendall definitely isn't going to be moving to Chicago anytime soon I think but I think there might be a possibility to get Joe more simulated into L.A., especially with his stint on dancing with the stars. A dude that got kicked off

night one now was on paradise and became like kind of a star and then now it was on dancing with the stars and I went out with them. I won't like say too much, but I went out with them. And what really astounded me is he is so popular. We were in a public place and he just gets stopped and stopped and stopped and stopped. And there was other quote more recognizable bachelor people and no one was stopping them nearly as much as him. I don't know. I would say that um aside from me, Joe the grocer has really, really won the Bachelor world. Besides for me.

Us other than me who really, really hit a home run. You guys have the same smile. That's probably why. Yeah. But like, think about it. He goes home night once, so he doesn't have to deal with all of the BSerie that happens on doing the Bachelorette, which, to be honest with you, after doing it, it kind of sucks, okay?

And then he gets to go to Paradise, which is really, really fun. And he gets like the hottest girl in paradise. Like night one. We both saw that after. He is, and he's there. First day gets to basically be in the entire time. Everyone freaking loves him. Everyone wants him to be the bachelor, which is that's what you want.

You want everyone to want you to be the bachelor, but you don't really want to be the bachelor. All right? So he doesn't have to be the bachelor. And then he's going on an even more popular show. Right. Let me tell you, let me tell you what's going to happen with Joe. Joe's going to be the worst freaking dancer in the history of dancing with the stars, and he's going to win the thing.

He's going to go. going to win it. The fan boat is going to be so overwhelming in Joe's favor. Then he's going to have his own cooking show. Yeah. And I will sign him up for a cooking podcast right now. No, but he's going to take this into something else. I guarantee you, like, Trader Joe's might want to give him a ring.

God, I just, I feel like he doesn't even need to dance. You can just smile the whole time and he'll win. Oh, absolutely. Just smile. The smile and he will win. I can't believe I miss that. Did I just, like, go to the bathroom or something? No, it's so funny.

He, like, also isn't phased by any of this, and he doesn't really like the attention. When he came up to me at Access to do the interview, like, down the whole press line, I was like, okay, I'm so sorry. There's another interview you have to do. And he's like, okay, just, I'm, all right, let's make it short. And he's so short. He's just a little bit shy, I think. He is shy. Yeah, he wanted to go home.

He wanted to leave Paradise, I think, every day of the first week that I was there. He'd come up and be like, I think I should go home. I don't know what I'm doing here. And I'm like, you're winning, dude. Don't worry. Everything's fine for you. Your Joe accent is so bad. It's perfect.

So bad. I think it's great. It's good. I just can't wait for the, for like, after his dances or he's like, I don't know. I don't think I did a very good job. And then he's going to have like all tense. Oh, my God.

Just smile, Joe. Just smile. So does that mean he gets to go, he gets to live at the Palazzo probably. You know, they put those Dancing with Stars people up in fancy condos. He called me. He called me the next day because after Paradise, he called me and he was like, I want some, like, advice on what I should do next. And so I gave him, like, what I thought he should do. And then after he found out he was going to be on Dancing with Stars, he called me super excited.

And at first I was like, screw you, dude. I've done four of these freaking shows. They haven't even asked me this. But then I was like, okay, I really like. That has to be a nice person. Yeah. And then I was like, I'm actually really, really happy for you. And he's like, I don't know.

They put me up in some hotel. Yeah, I'm coming back. I was like, yes, Joe! Remember he thought that everybody was going to think he was a giant tool? Yeah. Like, he thought he was so lame on his night one. This is what he tells us that he's like, warned his friends, like, I'm a total loser. And then, like, everyone loved him.

And he never had any, he's never had any, like, bad problem. Yeah. It'll come, though, Joe. You just wait. The backlash always comes to you for. I don't know. Does it always come to somebody who has a smile like that? I don't know.

He's fine. Who's like always stayed clean, Ben? I mean, Ben never got really any grief. Yeah. Have you, Wells? Wells is pretty clean. You're pretty clean. I'm good.

David. You're not. People who have black out there. The whole announcement that Kendall and Joe are back together was kind of done through a very corny soap opera-esque video of her flying to Chicago's. saying she made a mistake, going up in an elevator to Joe's supposed high-rise, a very modern, clean, expensive-looking high-rise in Chicago, which he will not confirm or deny is his place. No way he lives there.

Yeah, when Kendall, wait, when Kendall got in the elevator and she hit the button, the button didn't flashed. Something I said that out of a little bit. One, and two, like, Joe is just sitting at the door waiting for her, and Kendall's like, hey, can we talk? Yeah. Welcome to Chicago. or, I don't know. What the hell are you doing here? What's going on?

So dramatic and stage-liked, but at least they just established that they were going to give it another go. Agreed. Wait, Mark, Mark has some emails for the chicken. Oh, yes. I'm so excited. Chicken. Oh, Wells has them.

Sorry, Wells can read him. Wells people want to date you. Oh, that's amazing. I might find love after all. Yeah, this is from Maggie. Subject line is, me and David will be perfect. All right. No, this is going.

Hey, guys, love you both. All right, Maggie, that's not about me, but whatever. I would totally contend to date David on your podcast, or even better, you two can just set me up with him. Ever since he walked out on Becca's season in a chicken costume, my heart melted. I honestly would have picked him immediately then and there. Thanks for giving us fans a show to listen to weekly. P.S. my license plate is chicken nug. So how perfect would we be together?

Is that real? Do we know where she lives? Erica, will you email all these people and find out where they live? And then, David, will you let us know when you're in L.A. So we can do, like, a live dating episode on the podcast? Okay, great. I need a headshot of Maggie. All right.

I need to know what we're dealing with here. I need to know about chicken nug dating chicken man. When you send in your applications for David, please include a couple of your best pictures. Yeah, Erica, can you email and call these people and start? You maybe do a bit of a background check. We probably want to be safe for the chicken. Keep going well I'm hosting one little version of The Bachelor here

I kind of like it I'm into it Yeah this is from Andrea So let's get personal with David's the subject line So about David dot dot dot You guys should ask him more personal questions Yeah maybe I date him But we need to get to know him And not just a stupid stuff

He does on TV All right David Who did you vote for in the last election Oh Oh my God Oh we're getting political here? Yeah, what's your thoughts on the new Supreme Court nominee?

What's your favorite fast food restaurant? Oh. If it's not Chick-fil-A. Okay. Chick-fil-A, that's so easy. Come on. I at least say, give me a hard question. What are you into?

Burnett's, blonde, redheads? What? Blonde's for sure. Oh, yeah. Definitely blonde. Yeah. How old are you again? 26.

26, getting my master's in Miami. And what if your mommy doesn't, what if your mommy doesn't like them? Because I remember, like, a mama's boy. I mean, she's not going to be a deterrent for me dating a specific person. Obviously, I'd love to have my family's approval of someone and, you know, would love for everything to be kumbaya. But, you know, at the end of the day, this decision is mine. But, yeah, I'm very close to my family. I love my family.

And, yeah, love my mom. What side of the sleep number bed do you sleep on? Ooh, I'm a left-hand side person. sleep on the left-hand side closest to my bed. I think it's because I have my bed closer to the air conditioning. So wherever the air conditioning is that's the nut side that I sleep on. You don't like to be sweaty. The chicken does not want to be sweaty. Night owl or morning person? Night owl morning person. I don't sleep much. I only sleep like five, six hours, so I'm both. Okay, so if you were to be set up with Andrea or Maggie, let's say, what would you guys do on your first day? How would you plan it?

What would we do? We would go out to a nice dinner, probably at Chick-Blay, because Maggie is into chicken nuggets. We would eat Chick-fil-A, and I don't know from there. Would you buy Maggie a Fab-Fit Fun Box? Absolutely would buy her fat-fit Fun Box. I would use your coach, too, actually. That's the way to get a woman.

These are just women saying they want to date him. Right, but we just want, do you have any more? Could you read one more, Wells? Well, Wells. It was because we told him that we might do our own version of The Bachelor on the Almost Famous podcast with David's The Bachelor. Do you have any more? Did I just give you?

We have one more. We'll forget about it. Marin says, guys, I wanted to date David since I first saw him on TV, night one of the Bachelorette. Where do I sign up for David the Bachelor, almost famous edition? Help a girl out. Why do these girls all love you when you were wearing a chicken suit?

Like, how did they even? I don't know. He's endearing. He's endearing, and he looks great with a tan. You've got good hair. You'll also never lose your hair. And, yeah, you have a nice demeanor about you when you're not being super, super nervous. And you look exactly like Andy Rodic, which is, that's a good. Ooh, I appreciate that. He got Brooklyn Decker. I know, right? All right, David, let us know when you're coming so we can get this going. And girls out there, make sure to send your applications with pictures this. time. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We need pictures. Your applications, no. A girls cannot apply.

An application with a picture. We're in, this is 2018. We can't do that. Well, I think maybe like a video of like who you are, what you're about, you know, some of your interests. Why David would be perfect for you. I just hate the pick me, pick me, pick me thing so much. Wow. So it's like, I don't want these girls feeling like the chicken just gets to. Pick his, pick his hen.

Yeah. Pick his hen. No. This is going to be a mutual thing. So send your videos. And then if you, too, like David, I, girls need to stop with the pick me, pick me. Yeah. I hope my boyfriend picks me.

Mm-hmm. Yeah, I don't like that either. Yeah, like Camille says, like, it needs to be a 50-50 thing. Yeah. I mean, 6040. Whatever, whatever. Whatever. Look, it's something.

60-40 thing, well. Yeah. So let's think of, like, the girl who on Paradise was just a ball or badass, probably Kendall. Yeah. And maybe Crystal. And maybe coconuts. Is that Jenna? Yeah.

Yeah. Let's get coconut. So that's your type. Yeah. But I'm saying like the girl that owns it always gets the dude more than the girl that's like, pick me, pick me. Like the pick meers, I'm not being mean, but we're Annalise and Tia. Am I wrong? And Shoshana.

I don't even remember who that was. Come on. She's the witch. It's a Russian witch hunt. That's right. That's right. That's right. My only line of the entire season.

Where is the more equal situation? A quick side note. Quick side note about Shoshana from the reunion. It was pretty funny. Chris Harrison goes something. He said something along the lines. And Shoshana put all the rumors threats. You're not a witch, right?

And Shoshana goes, I never said that. It was amazing. It was one of the best moments. She didn't deny it. She owned it, and it was very funny. Funny moment. She totally owned it. She played into it completely.

It's so good. When she was arranging the wood, the fireplace, the fire pit, it's just like, wow, this girl, she's bringing it to Bachelor in Paradise Five. You know who's kind of a badass girl? Caitlin. Yeah. Caitlin Baristo? Yeah, she was sort of, yeah. She was sort of a like, don't mess with me.

I'm the girl. And that seems to work. It's very hard because it's not. like born in us you really have to like have not born in me that's for sure no i like look it's not born in me trust me i work every day to try to not be so yeah you can't help it if you're like me i almost said to be like poor annelies poor annelie well anyway we're looking after you guys yeah they tried to do that remember when annelies was in studio uh she may have said it off the record my bad

but she definitely said that they were trying to get you guys together. Yeah, why don't you date her, David? You guys actually seem like that could work. I see Annalise more as a friend. That's not in a lot. That's her plight right there. Ouch. Wait, hold on, who's your celebrity crush?

Who's your celebrity crush? Just so I can have a better kind of. Yeah, random, it couldn't be super random. Allison Williams. Oh, that's not random. Oh, my gosh, that's a great crush. Yeah, but she's Burnett. It's out there.

No, but she's been blonde before. She's been blonde for, like, the past couple months. All right. Yeah. She was blonde. I don't know. I think she's, like, really cute, funky, on. Do you have any others?

That's a good question, Wells. Do you have a couple others, just so ladies listening kind of engage it? Any other celebrity crushes? I don't know. I'll think about it. Well, David, this is your last time on the air until we do. Oh, no. I don't know.

No, not really. I'm not overly picky to be honest If you're not Allison Williams Yeah I'm not really picky to be honest with you But only Allison Williams Will do Honestly it's more

And it's an energy thing for me I really am open to anyone And if I like their energy And have fun And it works you know Would you go back on Paradise I would I would but I would do it differently

I would definitely put myself out there More and not hang out with you as fun David And remember when you're on our show, you're like, when I go to Paradise, you know, hypothetically, it would totally be different. Oh, no, I guess that was before Paradise or after Paradise? It's okay. We love you anyway. Bye, David.

Bye, Dan, do the best. Bye, miss your buddy. Yeah. Well, when David finds that special girl, he should not only get her the Fab Fit Funbox, but he should also get her a third love bra because they can be pretty darn sexy. It's not just a gift for her. weird for him is that weird though like we're talking first date here for david giving a bra first date but later okay wells have you ever bought sarah laundering no i haven't i probably should get on that you think is that like a weird gift or is that i don't know i don't know i don't really i got me lingerie

once but it was like with a point to it which i kind of liked what was the point well the point when i assume i know what the point is uh the point was that you know the point was that you know Oh, back in, I don't know if I want to reveal this, actually. I'll reveal something and ask you guys. Okay. I kind of think it's hot if the guy, like if Wells said to Sarah, hey, why don't you like go buy something special? Well, we've done.

And then you feel like you've got the reason to go do it. We've done the thing where like we go together, right? Okay. Is this cute as that? Yeah, and that's- Shopping or lingerie? Or is shopping for lingerie? Oh, really? Yeah.

Or actually, I don't know if that's true, but yeah. that's happened I don't know our anniversary is coming up and she already got my gift and I don't know what I should get her so I'm

each other boyfriend and girlfriend for the first time okay well you're going to go you're going off date what does Sarah go off she agrees with you I think it's when you kind of realize you like each other but that's so vague point a date for that sure you can yeah yeah it's when you go this is happening I don't I always just assumed it was like the first time like we kissed. I was like, all right, this is our anniversary. First kiss is cute. That's a nice way of determining it.

But anyway, she made the decision that's not that. Okay. It's when we kind of like made it official, which that's fine too. So it's coming up though. It's like next month. And so I need a good trip away. How about a trip away? Yeah, that's good.

Like it doesn't have to be crazy like Ritz Carlton Laguna or Ritz Carlton. I'm a big fan of the Ritz Carlton. Ritz Carlton, Santa Barbara. Something like, what about that? Wells' relationship problems brought to by Ritz Carlton. I don't know why I like the Ritz Carlton so much right now. Yeah, no, we're going to O'Hie for that anyways. Like, that's already like what we're doing.

Okay, okay. I know. What? Diamond Bangle. Bangle, huh? Because it's not a ring. Yeah. But it's a nice bracelet.

All right. And it's not a jewelry person. And it's not super expensive. Oh. I told Jared, I was like, never get me a piece of jewelry. The only piece of jewelry I ever want, I already have on my left finger. And other than that, nope, just costume jewelry for me. And even then, I don't really like costume jewelry.

That will change. Why would you not want a diamond bangle? I don't care about jewelry. I just rather like a cool outfit or a trip. All right. What we've learned today is that Amy wants a diamond bang. Real bad. That is so.

I love a diamond bangle or a diamond. And they're not as expensive as you think they would have to be. Or like, see a nice diamond necklace. I think a diamond is nice because it's like I'm in, but it's not like here's the ring we're getting there yeah I don't know my issue that I come across

is that she's a woman that doesn't eat anything right right so I try to make all my gifts like really sentimental but I've really like kind of used all my sentimental ideas engraved diamond bangle okay

all you guys out there dating Amy she wants an engraved you can go to 14 carrot or broken English in Brentwood and you are good to go all right and then give it to her out of Ritz Carlton and everything would be great Wait, let me think of sentimental. Give me a minute.

I'm really a good gift giver. Well, I think that Dwells would have to determine that himself because he's the one who, like, knows her intimately, right? Yeah, but sometimes you can not know about things. You know, that you're like, oh, my God, I never knew that that was a thing. Like, I didn't know that you can get Chicago deep dish pizza sent from Chicago to anywhere. That is thoughtful. I've done that before.

Wait. Can you do that in New York? Yeah. You can do that multiple places. Eileen, our boss, sent everyone that went to her wedding, deep dish Chicago pizzas as a thank you for coming to the wedding. Expensive. Thank you. If I can get Bleaker Street pizza to send me a slice to the house.

There's a place in New Jersey that my family has had pizza sent to people for gifts. So if it's a well-known pizza place, I'm sure you'll be able to do it. They like do some kind of freezing dry ice type of thing. Yeah. All right. Good. We figured it out. Sarah, don't listen to this part of the podcast.
