There's just so many, 26 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,960 Speaker 1: I think, speculations around him. So we finally got to 27 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: see him. I will say, I want to get to 28 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,400 Speaker 1: know him a little bit more, And that's why I'm 29 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: excited to have him on today because of course, like 30 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: when you're the host, he's so poised and he's the 31 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: one guiding Clayton. He's gone through this before, he was 32 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,960 Speaker 1: Bachelor several years ago, and he's been part of this world, 33 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: so I think there's no one better than that can 34 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,680 Speaker 1: kind of kick off the year off Clayton season with him. 35 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: But it's going to be good to get to know 36 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: him a bit more, the manned behind the host role. 37 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: If you will, I definitely agree. There's a couple of 38 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: things I really love about Jesse, which is one he's 39 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: a fellow Canadian. Yes, that's right, he's a half Bachelor. 40 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: And I really thought that on last night episode him 41 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: and Clayton had fantastic chemistry. They really just seemed to 42 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: have a good vibe. They seemed comfortable with each other, 43 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: and I think that Jesse's gonna be able to give 44 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: Clayton a lot of really fantastic advice this season. Definitely. 45 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,519 Speaker 1: And you want to know what one of the most 46 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: fun parts watching it all back was was obviously we 47 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,799 Speaker 1: haven't filmed at the Mansion in a while, but this 48 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: was both Clayton and Jesse's first times at the mansion 49 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: because when Jesse say that, yeah, because when Jesse was 50 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: Bachelor I don't even think the mansion was a thing yet. 51 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: I don't know where they were when they filmed his season, 52 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: but it was fun to see them get the lay 53 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: of the land and kind of start this new I 54 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 1: don't want to say journey, but I'm going to say journey. 55 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: If you will together do it? Say it? How many 56 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: cliches can we make in one episode? So funny, but 57 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: it really did. It brought a lot of the magic 58 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: back to the show. I mean, we haven't seen the 59 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: Mansion in over a year now. It's obviously an iconic 60 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: building in the franchise, and I was personally really excited 61 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: to see it brought back to life. And I am 62 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: sure Clayton and Jesse really kind of felt it all 63 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: come together. Yeah, it was a night one is always 64 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: so fun. I mean, there's, of course, so many women 65 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: that we meet, so many different entrances, so many different personalities, 66 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,239 Speaker 1: which leads me to how I want to start this out, 67 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 1: because before we really get into the recap of everything, 68 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: we saw so many different styles, so many accessories, beautiful dresses, 69 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 1: which I want to get into because I know how 70 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 1: much you love fashion and you always are styled to 71 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: the nines. You always dress so well, so I might 72 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,639 Speaker 1: hire you to style me. But I know you definitely 73 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: took notes on the style and the accessories. So let's 74 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: get into some of the highlights, like who would you 75 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: say was the best dress out of all these women? Yes, 76 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: I am so ready to talk about the fashion because 77 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: we saw some really great looks this season. I think 78 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: we saw a lot more gold than we've ever seen before. 79 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: There's usually a ton of red, I feel like in 80 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: the room, and this year we were more on like 81 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: the gold palette, which I'm a big fan of. Speaking 82 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: of gold, one of my favorite best dress was Sarah. 83 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: She was first of the Limo. She had beautiful, like 84 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: long wavy hair and the dress just fit her gorgeous, 85 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: and I just feel like it matched her skin tone 86 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: really beautifully. Yeah big fan of that look. But I'm 87 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 1: gonna have to give my best dress to Serene. She 88 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: wore this stunning turquoise fitted dress with a low back, 89 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: a little rousing in the back, and what topped off 90 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: the look for me was she had these gorgeous drop 91 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: earrings on. She was the only one in that color, 92 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 1: so she really stood out. But yeah, Serene would have 93 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: to be my best dress. I have to agree with you. 94 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 1: I loved so I'm a news splash. I'm sure this 95 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: doesn't come as a shocked anyone not super into fashion. 96 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 1: I just don't pay attention to detail that well, you know, 97 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 1: and when I watched these episodes back, there's so much 98 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: going on that I'm trying to take in the conversation 99 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 1: that I don't always pay attention to what people are wearing. 100 00:04:54,880 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: But Serenes gown was stunning. That color was incredib bowl. 101 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: I'm glad that she did something a little bit different 102 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: and bold and it was just beautiful. It fit her 103 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: so well. I would give her the best dress of 104 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,840 Speaker 1: the night too. And I also have to agree there 105 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: was so much gold, so many sparkles, which I was like, 106 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: this is pretty for the New Year. Absolutely, absolutely, very 107 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: like twenty twenty two, Happy New Year. Let's all throw 108 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: on some gold, some sparkles. We didn't see as much 109 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: white as we usually see. We only saw two white dresses. 110 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,280 Speaker 1: But I did think that Susie, she was in like 111 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: a one strop white tight gown. Her and Clayton. I 112 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: was like, oh, we got like a little bride and 113 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,799 Speaker 1: groom moments happening. Because he was in the Navy talk. 114 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: I was like, I'm liking this. They look really good together. 115 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 1: Speaking of Susie, I'm a fan of Susie already. I 116 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: hope Susie, if you're listening, please don't disappoint this season 117 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: because right now she I don't know if it's like 118 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 1: her personality or if she just reminds me of somebody. Yeah, 119 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: but she's I'm calling it right now, she's a top contender. 120 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: I think Susie will go far. Absolutely her personality. I mean, 121 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,840 Speaker 1: she's stunning, but her personality really shine through. I mean, 122 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 1: I'm sure all the girls feel nervous to different extents. 123 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 1: Maybe she was really nervous, But if she was, I 124 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: couldn't tell. She just seemed to be really excited, enjoying herself, 125 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: and very comfortable in her own skin. And yeah, I 126 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: thought they definitely had chemistry. I see her going far 127 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: as well. And she's a badass. She's not only traveled 128 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 1: around the world, has lived in different countries. But she 129 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 1: and I don't want to screw this up, but she's 130 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 1: in some sort of fighting gets called jiu jitsu. Jiu jitsu. Yes, yes, Oh, 131 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: my friend is jiu jitsu. I should okay, okay, Well 132 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 1: she's a badass. Dang, yeah, okay. I was like when 133 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: I saw her intro package, I was like, I'm a 134 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 1: fan of this one. And I loved her intro too. 135 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 1: She didn't just go in for the hug. She went 136 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: in for the firm handshake buzzer, so you know she's 137 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: got a good sense humor. I know, I thought the 138 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: firm handshake was a bowl move. I was like, Susie, 139 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 1: where are you going with this? This is the bachelor, 140 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: Let's go in for that hug. She played it off 141 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: really cute, and I really liked her entrance. I also 142 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: really liked who was the other entrance. I was saying, oh, 143 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: Kate Kate did the nixt entrance or she pulled out 144 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: her shots. I thought that was adorable. I thought she 145 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: played it off super well. Oh. I thought she was 146 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: gonna before she pulled out the bottles. I thought, you 147 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: know how like we wear the like the nipple covers, 148 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: like the petals or that I call them chicken cutlets. Yeah, 149 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: that's what she was gonna pull out. And I was like, 150 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: damn girl. And the first meeting, I'm so happy it 151 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: was shot and not that, which I think was good. 152 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: I think it helped loosen both of them up a 153 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: little bit. And you know, let's be honest, that night 154 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: is so full of nerves, and it's just like I 155 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: feel like sometimes at different moments you're paralyzed with just 156 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: like everything that's happening. So I felt like it kind 157 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: of brought them down to like this fun level where 158 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: they could just take a sit, feel the burn, get 159 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: into the rest of the night. It was good. Speaking 160 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,239 Speaker 1: of going back to Susie's entrance with the firm handshake, 161 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: did you think that was more bold or do you 162 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: I don't even remember who did it, but there was 163 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: one woman who walked in and didn't even talk. She 164 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: didn't say it, dear Lord. Yes, wait, I feel like 165 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: I wrote her name down. I think it was Ivanna, 166 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 1: and I thought it was kind of sexy. I could 167 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: never have pulled that off because I talk way too 168 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: much and I get too nervous. But I could never 169 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: I could never have done it. I would have been 170 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: so nervous. I would have looked so awkward. She was 171 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: an overall bold entrance because she was wearing like a 172 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: really bright bruce Yeah, the one sleeve dress, like very 173 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 1: like sexy, and she came out and I was like, 174 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: where is this going, When's she gonna talk? Never, she 175 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: was never gonna talk. I loved it, though, I loved 176 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: her style, and I'm sad to say she left, but 177 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: I know, and I don't know if it's because that 178 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: was like one of their only interactions that they had 179 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 1: where they couldn't even speak. I think it's hard too, 180 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 1: because not everyone necessarily gets to talk to the lead 181 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: on the first night. And if she didn't get a 182 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: chance to talk to him inside, I mean, he's going 183 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: off of knowing no thing about her. So I think 184 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: something like that is definitely a risk. It could go 185 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: either way. Yeah, it was a little risky. Didn't play 186 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: out for her, but who knows, maybe we will see 187 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,439 Speaker 1: her on Paradise one day. I loved that dress, thought, girl, 188 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: I need to know where you got that dress from. 189 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: It was stunning. It was a statement for sure. Overall, 190 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 1: it was some great entrances, some pretty chill entrances, but 191 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: we need to get into the actual first night, and 192 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: not only like in the midst of the chaos, but 193 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: prior to that. We have something that happened that I 194 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: don't think we've ever seen before on the show, and 195 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 1: that is a woman self eliminating before the arrivals even 196 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: and so yeah, definitely a shock Sally. Sally shocked the 197 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 1: nation for sure with that one. I can say I've 198 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: never seen that from my time watching the show. And 199 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: all I'll say is I want Sally on the podcast 200 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 1: because I got a lot of follow up questions about 201 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: this engagement about the wedding. I mean, I want the details. 202 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: But I will say I respected that she turned down 203 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: Clayton's rose. Yes I did too, I'm actually and I 204 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:11,479 Speaker 1: will say overall too, I'm surprised that they even included 205 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: any of that because quite frankly, like we didn't need 206 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 1: to see any of Sally's intro package. We didn't need 207 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 1: to see that conversation. They really couldn't just cut that 208 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 1: out and have him meet the thirty Girls night one. 209 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 1: And so it leads me to think I have a 210 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: suspicion that people are going to fall for Sally. People 211 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 1: are going to really like Sally, and this is not 212 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: going to be the last time we see Sally on 213 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: a season. I think when she's had more time to 214 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: heal and get through that breakup, you know, because it 215 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: was she was engaged, she was about to get married 216 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 1: for goodness sake, I think once she's had more time 217 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: and because really ready, I think we'll see her back 218 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 1: on her screams. I mean, she's beautiful, she seemed, you know, 219 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 1: like she just wasn't ready. Wasn't the place for it. 220 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 1: But I also think that it speaks to Clayton's journey. 221 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: I think that's probably why they showed it, because when 222 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: I was watching it, you know, I definitely felt for Sally. 223 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: I respected that she leaned into her decision of you know, 224 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,319 Speaker 1: I'm not ready and I'm gonna go home. I think 225 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: that was the respectful thing to do for both Sally 226 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 1: and for Clayton. But I think imagine, I mean, you 227 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: were the lead, Becca, how would you have felt if 228 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 1: someone came tried to leave this was you know, before 229 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: you're even stuffing out of the limo, you said, hey, 230 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 1: I feel the connection. I'm excited. I want you to say, 231 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: here's the rose and they said no. I mean Clayton's 232 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: first rose as the Bachelor was turned out. How do 233 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: you think that affected him going to Night one? Oh, 234 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 1: it would have been tough. And I was thinking about that, like, 235 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: how would I have reacted? I mean, I think he 236 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 1: looked so kind, so thoughtful. I think he looked very 237 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: respectful in that moment where he, you know, he was 238 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 1: into her. He had mentioned that there was that connection, 239 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 1: that chemistry, but he can't force anything and he has 240 00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,679 Speaker 1: to respect her wishes. So I think he came across 241 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 1: looking great in that scenario. But I think being in 242 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: that position, when you're already nervous, it's already very overwhelming, 243 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: I would be torn because I'd be like, Okay, I 244 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,839 Speaker 1: still have so many incredible people I'm going to be 245 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: meeting tonight, Like I'm not going to let this really 246 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 1: put a damper on what's to come, because there's still 247 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: so much potential, but also I would feel a little 248 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: bit down because, let's be honest, like that's like, whoever 249 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: the lead is is the most eligible person to be 250 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 1: dating right now, and so that just because it doesn't happen, 251 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: I'd be a little shocked and like, you know, it 252 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 1: wouldn't feel great. It would be a little kick to 253 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 1: the gut of like a Okay, is this what it's 254 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 1: good to be? Like, like what was the point of 255 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: that conversation if she wasn't ready, I would say though 256 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: his energy going in tonight one seemed super excited once 257 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 1: that first limbo pulled up, so if he was phased 258 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: by it, he didn't show it. And all the women 259 00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: seem fantastic, so I think he's got a really good group. 260 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 1: But Sally wasn't the only woman to leave that night. 261 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,719 Speaker 1: We also had Claire. Now that was a whole different situation. 262 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: I'll say, I have always kind of wanted someone to 263 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 1: meet the lead and say, you know what, I don't 264 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 1: feel the connection. I mean, there's so many women there 265 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 1: someone has gone and not feel it. But I think 266 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: Claire maybe took it a little too far with how 267 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: open and strongly she was expressing her dislike for Clayton, 268 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: and I think it's definitely for the best that she's 269 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,319 Speaker 1: not there anymore. Yeah, I will say it was entertaining 270 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: because again, that's not something we've seen before. I mean, 271 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: most people are head over heels for whoever it is, 272 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,079 Speaker 1: even if it's just because you're like sucked into that moment. 273 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 1: But the way she went about it was terrible, and 274 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: she lied basically on national television, like she fled out, 275 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: said I hate him, and then when he confronted her 276 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 1: about it, she said I didn't say that. She's like, no, 277 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: I don't hate you. I was like, well, you did 278 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: just get multiple times that you have the footage, Yeah, 279 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 1: the footage, we have the receipts. But yeah, I mean 280 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: when she sat down, was like, the vibes just aren't there. 281 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: I was like, totally fair, Like I've been waiting for 282 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: this to happen. But then when she went on to 283 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 1: just be like I hate him, it's awful. I was like, well, Claire, 284 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: you know church was outside that can take you home, 285 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: and I think that you should get in one of them. 286 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: Well what did she say when she walks back? And 287 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: obviously it was because she was hurt because he walked 288 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: away with somebody else, Like I know exactly if if 289 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: you would have sat down and not gone off with 290 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: the other woman probably then and there to talk to 291 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: and just sat and talk to de Claire, she probably 292 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: wouldn't have had that big of a reaction. But she 293 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 1: walks in and she goes, He's a catastrophe. It's like, 294 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 1: is he or are you like your tailgate more of 295 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: a catastrophe? I don't know. I think I mean, I 296 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: think it was more so of an ego thing, I 297 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 1: will say honestly. She'll also probably be in Paradise. I mean, 298 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: she'll be entertaining. She would have made a great villain, 299 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: if you will. But we didn't get to see that 300 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: much of her, which is probably a good thing. Maybe 301 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: on Paradise or in her real life she will find 302 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: someone that is the right person for her, and clearly 303 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 1: that was not Tighty exactly. Well. I can't wait to 304 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: see more of this season, to get to know Clayton 305 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: and all of these women a bit more. But there's 306 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: somebody that we have joining us right now that we 307 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: really want to get to know for who he is, 308 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: because I have a feeling he's going to be around 309 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: for quite some time. So without further do Serena, I 310 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 1: think we should bring on Jesse Palmer. Yes, let's do it. Jesse. 311 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: We are so excited to have you, and Serena and 312 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: I were talking a little bit before you got on, 313 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: because we obviously know a bit about you, but we're 314 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: so excited to have you here to get to know 315 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 1: you so much more. I know that you were the 316 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: Bachelor in two thousand and four, correct, I was, yes, Okay, 317 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: so it's good that you're already part of the Bachelor 318 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: family of the Batchelor Nation. I'm sure you've seen so 319 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 1: many things changed throughout the year since your time on 320 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: the show. But since then, catch us up on your life. 321 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: What have you been doing since two thousand and four 322 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: and now? Oh my gosh, okay, Well, we filmed the 323 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: show in two thousand and four. I think I was 324 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 1: like twenty five years old. I was in my third 325 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 1: year with the New York Giants. I was playing quarterback 326 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: in the NFL. It was my dream job. When the 327 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: show wrapped, I went back kept playing football for another 328 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: couple of years, and then started a career in broadcasting 329 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: with ESPN covering college football. So that started in like 330 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: two thousand and seven, and I've been kind of doing 331 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 1: that really for the last fifteen years. It's been like 332 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: ESPN that had opened the door for some food network. 333 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: I got into Good Morning America, Daily Mail TV, and 334 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: a lot of different a lot of different sort of 335 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 1: mediums on air. I've done some projects for ABC in 336 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: the Bachelor Family as well. I hosted the Posal. We 337 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:05,199 Speaker 1: just did Ultimate Surfer this past summer. So professionally that 338 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: that's kind of where life has taken me since personally, 339 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,120 Speaker 1: I finally met the love of my life about five 340 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 1: years ago here in New York City. It took me 341 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 1: a while, but I finally I finally got there and 342 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 1: I met Emily, and Emily and I got married last summer, 343 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:25,879 Speaker 1: which was really yeah, thanks, Ye took me a minute, 344 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 1: but we finally we finally got there, and so it's 345 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 1: been really really exciting. We're just you know, we're here 346 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 1: living in New York City. And obviously been a huge, 347 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 1: huge fan of the show.

For me, really, it's a dream come true. 353 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 1: I mean, this is really like a full circle moment 354 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 1: for you then going back and being you know, Bachelor 355 00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 1: number five, to pursuing a career, getting married, congratulations on that, 356 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:06,479 Speaker 1: and now your back get the Bachelor Mansion, being the host. 357 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: I mean, how did that feel? Were you excited? Were 358 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 1: you nervous? I know, you've never been to the mansion before, 359 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 1: so that was new for you as well as Clayton. Yeah, 360 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,159 Speaker 1: it's it's so true, Street and it's funny sometimes how 361 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 1: life happens. Like at the time when I was well, 362 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 1: I never knew I was going to be the Bachelor 363 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 1: in the first place, and then I never knew that 364 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,160 Speaker 1: I would have this opportunity to come around full circle. 365 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 1: So I was just so excited. The first night being 366 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: there at the mansion, to me, I was like fanning 367 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: out really because I've actually never been to the mansion before. 368 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: When when I was the bach room, it was a 369 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,680 Speaker 1: totally different house. So you know, we kind of got there, 370 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 1: I was nervous, I kind of had all the fields. 371 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,639 Speaker 1: It was like nervous. I was excited, and I remember 372 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,239 Speaker 1: specifically taking a lot of time to sort of like 373 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 1: tiptoe around the mansion and kind of look at the rooms, 374 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,640 Speaker 1: and there was just so much nostalgia there. It was like, well, yeah, 375 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 1: there's the Fourier where they have the Fourier chats, and 376 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 1: of course that's the real ceremony room. There's the couch 377 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,919 Speaker 1: where all the women sit, and that's the table that 378 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 1: you put the first impression rows on. Oh my god, 379 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,400 Speaker 1: that's the fireplace where Champagne Gate happened. On PETERC. I 380 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 1: totally remember, this is it, and it's like I'm going 381 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 1: around him and checking all the boxes and it was 382 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 1: you know, that moment standing out in front when Clayton's 383 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 1: finally arriving in a limo, that like my heart dropped. 384 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 1: I just thought, how cool is this. It's amazing that 385 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: I'm I'm standing here again virtually. Obviously I was at 386 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: a different house before, but that's the moment that really 387 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: kind of hit me. So you know, people will see that. 388 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,679 Speaker 1: I think on tonight's episode, I mean, you're kind of 389 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: going through all the fields. There's nervous, there's excitement, but 390 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: I think just being there to help out Clayton on 391 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: his journey to find love. For me, being there at 392 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 1: a place that obviously fields and static having seen so much, 393 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: it was really really cool. Well, and I'm sure you, 394 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 1: out of anyone, could help him through all of the 395 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: nerves and the excitement because you were a bachelor in 396 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,640 Speaker 1: the past, like you were in his shoes, and so 397 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 1: going into that knowing that you had that lead role 398 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: in the past. How do you think that helps both 399 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: you and Clayton prepare for the overall season. Yeah, great question. 400 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 1: I think it helps a lot, I hope. And you know, 401 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 1: one thing I've been lucky at to do is having 402 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,880 Speaker 1: a chance to watch Tatian Caitlin over the last couple 403 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,479 Speaker 1: of seasons. I thought they did an amazing job, and 404 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,880 Speaker 1: I think what's unique watching them because of course they 405 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: were in that role as well. I think a big 406 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 1: part of hosting The Bachelor and helping Clayton is being 407 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 1: empathetic and sympathetic I think to the emotional roller coaster 408 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 1: that goes on throughout the entire journey. As you know too, Becca, 409 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,640 Speaker 1: like being in that role, there's just nothing you can 410 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 1: do to prepare yourself for that, and I think it's 411 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,159 Speaker 1: trying to help them navigate all the different feelings they 412 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 1: have throughout the course of the show, and it's it's 413 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: the tough moments, it's the tough decisions, it's hurting other 414 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: people's feelings and making those types of decisions. It's the 415 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 1: uncertainty you have when you stop trusting yourself and self 416 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: doubt starts to creep in. And these are obviously things 417 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: that everybody in the world feels at different times of 418 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: their life dating, but when it's in that kind of 419 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:15,439 Speaker 1: environment and there's more dating multiple women at the same time, 420 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: knowing that there is hopefully a proposal at the end, 421 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 1: at the end of the road, it can really really 422 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 1: feel overwhelming. So to me, I think the pressure for 423 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 1: me really was just, hey, how can I best help 424 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: Clayton find what he wants and what he wants to 425 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 1: find his love? He wants it so badly, he wants 426 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 1: to be married, he wants to have kids, and he 427 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: puts a lot of pressure on himself in this situation 428 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,639 Speaker 1: in an environment because he obviously knows this is a 429 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: once in a lifetime opportunity meeting this many incredible women 430 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 1: that I think people will see tonight. Yeah, I think 431 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,119 Speaker 1: people definitely saw you know you and Clayton have a 432 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 1: great chemistry so far, and I think he's really lucky 433 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,640 Speaker 1: to have him. We're obviously excited to see his journey 434 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 1: and you join him throughout the season. But for a second, 435 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 1: let's take it back to two thousand and four, because 436 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: we really want the listeners to get to know you 437 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:08,440 Speaker 1: and your journey. So how did you become the Bachelor 438 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: because you weren't picked from a pastseason, kind of similar 439 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 1: to how Clayton was this season. Totally true. I have 440 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 1: no idea how I was picked, actually, and I think 441 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 1: because I was one of the first statuetors on the show. Like, 442 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: I think the show was still kind of trying to 443 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:22,959 Speaker 1: figure itself out in a lot of different ways, if 444 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: that makes any sense at all. It was still reality 445 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,199 Speaker 1: TV back then. This is going to date myself. Reality 446 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 1: TV back then was still a very new phenomenon, and 447 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 1: there was like Big Brother and all of a sudden, 448 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 1: The Bachelor and Survivor, Like these were shows that you know, 449 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: I just started kind of creeping up. And so I 450 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,200 Speaker 1: think they wanted an athlete to do it. I'm sure 451 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: they probably interviewed a lot of different athletes in different sports, 452 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,160 Speaker 1: and at the end they picked the Canadian guy who 453 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 1: was playing to football in New York, and so, like, 454 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: I had no idea what I was getting into. I 455 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 1: hadn't really watched the show before. I didn't totally get 456 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 1: what it was or understand it, except I wasn't a 457 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,120 Speaker 1: point in my life that I did want to fall 458 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 1: in love and I did want to get married, And 459 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 1: when everything was explained to me, it just seemed like 460 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,640 Speaker 1: obviously a totally unique concept that was at the time 461 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,880 Speaker 1: so far out there it was. It wasn't a part 462 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 1: of mainstream culture yet like it is now. Um, So 463 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: it really was a leap of faith that I took. 464 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: Um And I feel like I was a guinea pig 465 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 1: in a lot of ways because I actually actually was 466 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 1: the first to do a lot of things. I was 467 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: the first bachelor ever to give a first impression rose. Actually, really, 468 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:36,400 Speaker 1: you are to say the wrong name of a rose. 469 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: Ceremony started to bring this up, that is correct. There 470 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: were a lot of first on my season. Like I 471 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: remember they were like, Hey, so you're going to go 472 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: in and on the very first night and you're just 473 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,959 Speaker 1: gonna like take this rose and just give it to somebody. 474 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: That made a really strong impression on you, and that's 475 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,679 Speaker 1: the first impression roles and just just go for that. 476 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,680 Speaker 1: And it was kind of like, oh okay, we were 477 00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: kind of like figuring it out. And then just RNA's 478 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 1: point a few hours later, I was the first bash 479 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 1: or to ever I want to say, forget a girl's name, 480 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,920 Speaker 1: but call out the wrong name at a Rose ceremony. 481 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: So how did that happen? Were you looking at the like, 482 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 1: were you looking at somebody and said the wrong name? 483 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 1: Or how did this all go down? Becca? It was 484 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 1: the worst. It was like, so this is this is 485 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:25,239 Speaker 1: also like and you know, in full disclosure, like the 486 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: Rose ceremonies kind of go early into the night, even 487 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,920 Speaker 1: back then, they would go early in the night. Everyone's tired, 488 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,640 Speaker 1: everyone maybe have had set a cocktail or two. And 489 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: I'm sitting there and I forget, I forget how many 490 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: of the roses I was handing out. It might have 491 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 1: been like sixteen or maybe it was twenty, and I 492 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: decided I was just going to go for it. I 493 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,400 Speaker 1: wasn't going to like do three names or four names 494 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 1: and then be like I'll bright back and I'm like 495 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,400 Speaker 1: walk off set come back, and I'm like I'm going 496 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 1: to do this. I'm going to go sixteen for sixteen 497 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,879 Speaker 1: and I'm going to just run the table. It was 498 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,399 Speaker 1: so aggrest of and like, you know, if you're going 499 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: to you're gonna go big. You might go home, And 500 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: that's kind of what happened. I was just like I 501 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,360 Speaker 1: was cruising, I was in a flow. I was just 502 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 1: like make an eye contact, like you know they tell 503 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: you to look down and then look down to the boom. 504 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,879 Speaker 1: I was like locked in, there's the name. She walks 505 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 1: right towards me. We have the moment. It's great. And 506 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 1: then there was a girl, Karen, who I wanted to 507 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 1: give the rose to, and I knew. I knew exactly 508 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 1: who she was, anew what she was wearing. I remember 509 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,439 Speaker 1: everything we had talked about, and I had a thousand 510 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 1: percent conviction that I was absolutely right. And I did 511 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 1: the thing where it's like you look down and then 512 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 1: PAULI or whoever kind of waves at you to like 513 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: give the rose, and I looked up. I'm looking right 514 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 1: at Karen, and I'm like Katie and row and behold, 515 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,880 Speaker 1: I just from my peripheral vision see a woman walking 516 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 1: towards me. Of course, there was a Katie on my 517 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: season also who I wasn't going to give a rose 518 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,359 Speaker 1: to the plan that it honestly was. I wasn't going 519 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,199 Speaker 1: to give her one, and so she kind of like 520 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,880 Speaker 1: it was like playing quarterback and getting like blind sides sacked. 521 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 1: It was especially like you're looking over here and then 522 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 1: like the guy comes and hits you. That was Katie. 523 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,399 Speaker 1: That's basically what happened. So I learned a very valuable lesson. 524 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: And I would be lying if I told you tonight. 525 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: During Clayton's first row ceremony, I definitely was experiencing some 526 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 1: PTSD sort of imagine you're kind of in the back room, 527 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 1: You're like, oh god, I could tell him. I'm like, 528 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,680 Speaker 1: come on, do it, Clayton, say the name. You've got it, 529 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:40,199 Speaker 1: You've got it, and so oh lots of first I 530 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: get you so much credit for trying to go ball 531 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 1: to the walls all sixteen in a row, because I mean, 532 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 1: I the first night, because I remember being like it's 533 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: so overwhelming. There's so many different men names, things happening, 534 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,879 Speaker 1: like there's no way I would have remembered everyone's name, Like, 535 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,119 Speaker 1: there's just no way, because I blacked out. I was 536 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 1: so nervous so for you to just say effort, I'm 537 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 1: gonna do it. I give you, I give you props. 538 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,439 Speaker 1: One more thing that was a first on your season 539 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,239 Speaker 1: was you were the first to send someone home and 540 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: then have them come back. There was there was a 541 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,399 Speaker 1: lot going on. There was there was women who went home. 542 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,959 Speaker 1: I had a spy also on my show. A lot 543 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,960 Speaker 1: of people forget that one of the women that no 544 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 1: tell us before I got to watch your season. I 545 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 1: don't think it's stripping on Hulu yet, thank god. But 546 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:42,159 Speaker 1: my best friend's wife closing as one of the women, 547 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: and she was living in the house and she was 548 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: getting all the dirt in the scoop for me, and 549 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 1: so you know, for me, like I went in, I'm like, okay, 550 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,399 Speaker 1: if I'm going to do this, like I want to 551 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 1: make sure. That was my way of trying to have 552 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 1: as much control as I could. How can I find 553 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,920 Speaker 1: a way to make sure these women are here for 554 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 1: the right reasons are they're playing? And so her name 555 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: was Jenny, and Jenny is the biggest sweetheart. She was 556 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,639 Speaker 1: so brave to do it. And I say brave because 557 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: I don't think Jenny realized like she started becoming friends 558 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,879 Speaker 1: with everyone obviously, and she started developing relationships and there 559 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 1: was a trust factor there, and there was a moment 560 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 1: like we kind of kept Jenny around, kept giving a roses, 561 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,119 Speaker 1: kept kept her around, and then it got to a 562 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 1: point woman, I felt like I had a pretty good handle. 563 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 1: We finally sent Jenny home, but of course that meant 564 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:34,119 Speaker 1: Jenny had to come clean right in the house before 565 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:38,720 Speaker 1: she left. This feels like a movie plot. Show me 566 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 1: how to this. I mean, where's Jenny today? You mean 567 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 1: she's still? ABC released the footage. We need to see 568 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: all of Jesse's season. This is good. She was. She 569 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 1: was such a champion and she she did it for 570 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:56,719 Speaker 1: me forever indebted to Jenny. Jenny's Jenny's like the best today, 571 00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 1: She's she's obviously, she's married to my best buddy, got 572 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 1: got five beautiful kids, like they're just She's the best. 573 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 1: But yeah, it was like another thing, like when I 574 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 1: think back to it, I'm like, we were just you know, 575 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 1: there were so many different elements to the show, and 576 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 1: everything was always changing, and like you guy said, like 577 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 1: the show, the core concept in the principle of it 578 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: is the exact same basically from when I did it. 579 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 1: Tobecca when you did it to what Clayton's doing. The 580 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 1: houses are bigger, the budgets bigger, and your destinations like 581 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: I didn't get to travel to all the amazing places 582 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: you guys got to complaint. I think we went to 583 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 1: like my overnight dates were Washington, DC, Quebec City, and 584 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 1: like we did go to the Bahamas and we go 585 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 1: to the Caribbean for one of them. So that was 586 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 1: that was odd. At least you could travel. Poor Serena 587 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 1: was stuck in the same resort for two months. Yeah, 588 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 1: I was anemical and for two months that place will 589 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 1: always all special place in my heart. But Jesse, it 590 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: sounds like you had tons of amazing advice to pass 591 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 1: along to Clayton. I mean, make sure you say the 592 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 1: right name, don't go for all sixteen at once, get 593 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: yourself a spy. I mean, was there anything else that 594 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 1: you passed along to him that you know, future leads 595 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: might want to know, you know, I think for me, 596 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 1: you know, obviously it was it was the obvious stuff 597 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 1: to hey, be yourself, be vulnerable, you know, do all 598 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 1: those things. But there was one thing that I did 599 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 1: try to tell them at the beginning, and that was 600 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 1: to not be lazy. And what I mean by that is, 601 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 1: I think for because I was the bachelor and sort 602 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 1: of so having kind of lived it, I think sometimes 603 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 1: as as the lead, you can sort of rest on 604 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 1: your laurels a little bit. And what I mean by 605 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 1: that is, you're kind of like, I'm the bachelor, I'm 606 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 1: the man. All these women are going to have to 607 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 1: come over here and grab me and talk to me. 608 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: They're going to have to come chase me and earn 609 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 1: my love for them too. And what I was really 610 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 1: sort of encouraging to do was to be aggressive, to 611 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 1: get out and really sort of you know, show show interest, 612 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 1: because just because you're the bachelor, it does not guarantee 613 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 1: that anybody needs to follow love with you or will 614 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 1: fall in love with you. You have to show your 615 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 1: best self and you really have to make bad effort. 616 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,240 Speaker 1: You really have to step out of your comfort zone 617 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 1: and do that. Maybe you have to remember, you know, 618 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: these women, a lot of them had never even seen 619 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 1: Clayton until they got out of the limousine his season 620 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:20,960 Speaker 1: on Michelle's season that didn't air until after we started 621 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 1: actually filming, and our season was essentially wrapped, so more 622 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 1: than ever, you know, It's not like these women had 623 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: seen him on Michelle Michelle season and kind of knew 624 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,240 Speaker 1: all about him. They maybe seen a picture of him 625 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 1: or something, But like, there's a lot of very authentic 626 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 1: and real moments tonight when people get out of the limo, 627 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,160 Speaker 1: there's a connection right away, or there's not, and it's 628 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 1: genuine because they just haven't seen him. So my biggest 629 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 1: advice to him was, Hey, don't be lazy, you know, 630 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 1: really try to to be to to show your best 631 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 1: self and really put your best foot forward in this. 632 00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 1: You have to make an effort. It's I think, so 633 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 1: so important. I think something Clayton has a really good 634 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,480 Speaker 1: job of doing. I want to ask you this because 635 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 1: now just going through everything and you bring up Michelle's season, 636 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 1: he didn't make it to the final weeks. Obviously, he 637 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 1: didn't go to hometowns, he didn't do the overnights, he 638 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 1: didn't do the meet the families, so he really, you know, 639 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 1: only made it so far in Michelle's season and had 640 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 1: no idea what to expect. So do you feel like, 641 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 1: obviously we saw you there for him night one, and 642 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 1: I'm sure you know, as typical host, you're in and 643 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 1: out and kind of leading the way for him week 644 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 1: by week. But did you feel like you stepped in 645 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 1: a bit more for him than we've seen it in 646 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 1: the past because he didn't know what to expect in 647 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 1: those big moments, especially when he comes down to the wire. Yeah, 648 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 1: a great question. You know, it's funny. Part of I 649 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 1: think the charm, at least for me, for Clayton is 650 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 1: that he's sort of naive to everything, but it's it's 651 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 1: authentic and it comes from a good place. Clayton never 652 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 1: watched the show before he went on Michelle's season, so 653 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 1: a lot of this you've got to kind of remind 654 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 1: yourself that a lot of this is still very very 655 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 1: new for him. So to your point, there are moments 656 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,960 Speaker 1: tonight where you know, I kind of I do have 657 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,719 Speaker 1: to step in and just sort of remind him, Okay, 658 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 1: here's here's where we are, this is what's happening, here's 659 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,240 Speaker 1: the first impression, Rose, this is what this is all about, 660 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 1: this is this is how this works and how it's 661 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 1: going to go. Um. But you know what's really amazing 662 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 1: is that because Clayton hadn't really watched the show so much, 663 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 1: he doesn't totally get the rhythm and the flow in 664 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 1: the eve and the flow. So I think one of 665 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,760 Speaker 1: the most exciting things about this season, I think that 666 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 1: that Bachelor fans of viewers at all our guest site, 667 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 1: there are there really are a lot of firsts. I know, 668 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:46,400 Speaker 1: when we all watch the show in our in our 669 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:50,320 Speaker 1: individual seasons, there's you know, it can seem sometimes formulaic, 670 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:54,040 Speaker 1: and there's different beats. The show takes episode to episode, 671 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 1: and people at home sort of expect, all right, we 672 00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 1: go from this number to this number, and now they're 673 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 1: going to go travel and the overnight are coming in hometowns, 674 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera. Um, you know, there's kind of 675 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 1: this quote unquote unofficial rule book. Clayton is not afraid 676 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 1: to break rules to find love. And one thing I 677 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,640 Speaker 1: kind of I am constantly reminding him of throughout the 678 00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 1: season is that, really, on the Bachelor, there are no rules, right, 679 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 1: you can kind of you can kind of do what 680 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 1: you want in order in order to get to where 681 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:29,319 Speaker 1: you want to go. Clayton puts so much pressure on 682 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 1: himself to find love and to get married and to 683 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,240 Speaker 1: have kids. He realizes, like the severity of the moment, 684 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,279 Speaker 1: for lack of a better better term, and Clayton is 685 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:45,359 Speaker 1: willing to do anything to get there, and I think 686 00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:46,960 Speaker 1: viewers are going to see that. Yeah. I love that 687 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,120 Speaker 1: you mentioned throwing away the rule book or the so 688 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:54,319 Speaker 1: called playbook with Clayton being somewhat of you know, he's 689 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 1: a new bachelor, but he wasn't on for an extensive 690 00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,400 Speaker 1: amount of time on Michelle season. But I think we 691 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,279 Speaker 1: really saw that in the first episode last night, and 692 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,719 Speaker 1: I think it was really interesting because you know, he 693 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,319 Speaker 1: went to hand out a rose before the night even 694 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 1: started and then he sent home Claire right away. Is 695 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,759 Speaker 1: there a favorite moment from that first episode where you 696 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,479 Speaker 1: were like, wow, Like, I love this moment. It really 697 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,160 Speaker 1: shows off Clayton and how great of a bachelor he's 698 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,359 Speaker 1: going to because I think you can really feel right 699 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,040 Speaker 1: out of the gate that he wants love and he 700 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,839 Speaker 1: wants children and he is looking for that, and like 701 00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,759 Speaker 1: you said, he's willing to do what he's got to do, 702 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,920 Speaker 1: even if that's not the norm for the bachelor to 703 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 1: find his person. Yeah, it's like, and you're so true. 704 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,400 Speaker 1: It was probably right at the beginning. I think you know, 705 00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,080 Speaker 1: we were all sort of reminded of watching him get 706 00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:45,120 Speaker 1: sent home for Michelsea's and when he got really emotional 707 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 1: reading the letter that the kids had written for him, 708 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:49,480 Speaker 1: and you get to see it on his face, like 709 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,719 Speaker 1: he wears his emotions pretty hard, and you get to 710 00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 1: see from him how badly he wants it. And right 711 00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,719 Speaker 1: out of the gate in the first episode, Sally comes 712 00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,279 Speaker 1: to his door at the hotel and she sort of 713 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,440 Speaker 1: delivers the news that she was supposed to get married 714 00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,960 Speaker 1: on that night and her she's her heart is sort 715 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,080 Speaker 1: of being torn and she doesn't know what to do, 716 00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 1: and Clayton's very receptive to it, but you know, Clayton 717 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,400 Speaker 1: kind of goes for it. He sort of excuses himself 718 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,279 Speaker 1: from the table. He goes and gets a rose. I 719 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:18,680 Speaker 1: don't know where he got the rose from. He just 720 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:22,359 Speaker 1: goes and gets a rose, brings it. He's like, oh, 721 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:26,440 Speaker 1: down that outside and brings it back in and presents 722 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,399 Speaker 1: the road, offers a rose to her before anybody's even 723 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:33,600 Speaker 1: been to the mansion, Clayton included. So I think that 724 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:35,360 Speaker 1: just goes to kind of show you sort of the 725 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 1: cajones Clayton has, like he's not he's not afraid to 726 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:43,120 Speaker 1: kind of take risks, fully understanding that he could very 727 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,000 Speaker 1: well get rejected, And I got to be honest in 728 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,359 Speaker 1: that moment watching it lot, I totally thought she would 729 00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:49,600 Speaker 1: accept it. Like, I thought that was such a it 730 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,760 Speaker 1: was such a chivalrous move, if you will, from Clayton 731 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 1: with really good intentions, Like I think that came across 732 00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:57,880 Speaker 1: right away. So I'd say, for me, I think you 733 00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,560 Speaker 1: got to see a lot about who Clayton is in 734 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:04,160 Speaker 1: that moment of the show. I want to ask you this, 735 00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 1: You got to know Clayn on a whole new level. 736 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,359 Speaker 1: I mean, you went through this entire season with him, 737 00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:13,279 Speaker 1: which is it really bonds people and Serena and I 738 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,360 Speaker 1: have been lucky enough to spend some time with Clayton 739 00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:18,080 Speaker 1: outside of the show, just to catch up see how 740 00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:22,080 Speaker 1: he's doing. And one thing that he has mentioned and 741 00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,000 Speaker 1: I hope I don't think he would mind me saying this, 742 00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:28,120 Speaker 1: is he really struggles when there's not structure. When there's 743 00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:30,799 Speaker 1: not you know, he's not in control and being the 744 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:34,800 Speaker 1: lead of the show, you truly have no control over anything. 745 00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,280 Speaker 1: You don't plan your schedule, you don't plan the dates. 746 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,920 Speaker 1: You just kind of have to go with the flow, 747 00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:41,560 Speaker 1: and you're at the whims of the show and the 748 00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,880 Speaker 1: women and everything that happens. So do you feel like, 749 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:49,120 Speaker 1: you know night one aside, because that's it's whole own 750 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:53,000 Speaker 1: chaotic evening throughout the season, did you feel like there 751 00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,399 Speaker 1: was a time where he kindly where he was kind 752 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:59,359 Speaker 1: of able to shed that lack of control and just 753 00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,440 Speaker 1: kind of throw his arms up and say, you know, 754 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:02,759 Speaker 1: what will be, will be, and I'm just going to 755 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,440 Speaker 1: go with this where he could finally really enjoy and 756 00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:08,920 Speaker 1: embrace what he was doing. Definitely, and I think you 757 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:10,759 Speaker 1: hit it right on the head first off. For all 758 00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,680 Speaker 1: those former football players, like we are creatures of habit 759 00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,560 Speaker 1: for sure. We're used to waking up at a certain hour, 760 00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,000 Speaker 1: working out at a certain hour. We know exactly what 761 00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,560 Speaker 1: we're going to eat pregame, we know what happens for 762 00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,200 Speaker 1: the national anthem before the game, where you stand, you 763 00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,600 Speaker 1: play the game, you go home, you do your media, 764 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 1: and you just repeat every single week. So for Clayton 765 00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:34,600 Speaker 1: and his whole background, this was very unique to your point, 766 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,880 Speaker 1: and it was very difficult for him, I think early on, 767 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,720 Speaker 1: just like it was for myself and maybe for you too. 768 00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:46,000 Speaker 1: During your experience. You definitely do see as the season progresses, 769 00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:49,560 Speaker 1: Clayton kind of starts to get a handle of it. 770 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 1: And again, you know, from never having watched the show 771 00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,680 Speaker 1: very much at the beginning, so much of it is 772 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:59,239 Speaker 1: new and fresh, and the situation's group dates. I mean, 773 00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:00,799 Speaker 1: he's literally got a head on his swol. When he 774 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:02,479 Speaker 1: was looking around, he doesn't know which ways of which, 775 00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:06,040 Speaker 1: I mean, like like all of us did. He definitely 776 00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:07,920 Speaker 1: starts to kind of get a grasp in a handle, 777 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:11,600 Speaker 1: and you can really sort of see the confidence and 778 00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:13,839 Speaker 1: you can see kind of his personality I think, really 779 00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:17,799 Speaker 1: sort of shine in those moments when he starts to 780 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:19,680 Speaker 1: sort of figure it out. Because you're right, I don't 781 00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 1: think anybody's ever just walked into that mansion night one 782 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:24,000 Speaker 1: and been like, I know exactly what I'm doing. This 783 00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,239 Speaker 1: is a walking apart thirty women, let's go. It's like 784 00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,800 Speaker 1: he you know, it was it was quite being honest 785 00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,279 Speaker 1: as a host, like I was kind of feeling the 786 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,480 Speaker 1: same thing too. I've never hosted the show, I'd never 787 00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:37,520 Speaker 1: been in the mansion, so really, like you know, we 788 00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:39,720 Speaker 1: talk about it outside the house on that first episode, 789 00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,040 Speaker 1: we're both really nervous going into it. We're both we're 790 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:43,879 Speaker 1: both kind of figuring it out. So it was nice. 791 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:45,920 Speaker 1: It wasn't just nice for him to have me, it 792 00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:47,920 Speaker 1: was nice for me to have him too, because we 793 00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,960 Speaker 1: did have a lot of discussion and conversations about like this, 794 00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:55,360 Speaker 1: this is crazy, like this is unbelievable, this is wild, 795 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:56,719 Speaker 1: and we're just you know, as we're kind of going 796 00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:58,239 Speaker 1: through it and trying to help each other. So it 797 00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,360 Speaker 1: was that that was definitely unique, very nice. Yeah, I 798 00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,799 Speaker 1: don't think anyone. Yeah, I don't think anyone can walk 799 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,440 Speaker 1: into any role on this show and feel like they 800 00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,360 Speaker 1: know exactly what's going on. I mean, it is so unique. 801 00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:13,719 Speaker 1: It is so just different than anything. So I think 802 00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:15,960 Speaker 1: you guys being able to kind of support each other 803 00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,360 Speaker 1: through it, and especially with you having the experience, was 804 00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:21,520 Speaker 1: probably a definitely a bonding moment. But I know when 805 00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,719 Speaker 1: I met Clayton, what surprised me about him was he 806 00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:27,920 Speaker 1: so comfortable in his own skin. So as much as 807 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,360 Speaker 1: like I'm sure the chaos kind of threw him for 808 00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:32,879 Speaker 1: a loop, he seems like someone who really knows who 809 00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:36,640 Speaker 1: he is and is that's going to come across and 810 00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:38,040 Speaker 1: I feel like he's going to rest in that. Was 811 00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,880 Speaker 1: there anything about Clayton meeting him? Because I didn't you know, 812 00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:44,000 Speaker 1: if you watched michelseason, there wasn't much to go off of, 813 00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,120 Speaker 1: but meeting him, was there anything that you're like, wow, 814 00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,160 Speaker 1: like this really surprises me about this guy, and I 815 00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,359 Speaker 1: think it's going to make him a really good bachelor. Yeah. 816 00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:52,759 Speaker 1: One of the things I really appreciate about Clayton is 817 00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,000 Speaker 1: that if he needs help, he's not afraid to ask 818 00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:58,200 Speaker 1: for it, which for a guy, especially a former football player, 819 00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:02,000 Speaker 1: that's kind of unique, Like we're always sort of taught 820 00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:03,480 Speaker 1: to kind of just figure it out on your own 821 00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:05,960 Speaker 1: and just be alpha, like figure this out. You know, 822 00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:09,600 Speaker 1: Clayton had a lot of questions coming into this and 823 00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:13,440 Speaker 1: he didn't always have the answers and didn't know And 824 00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,160 Speaker 1: one of the things as a host that I really 825 00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:19,520 Speaker 1: wanted to be careful with with him is, first off, 826 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:22,560 Speaker 1: it's not about me or my experiences, and I didn't 827 00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:25,080 Speaker 1: want to be the host that was like, well on 828 00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:29,040 Speaker 1: my season I said this, or on my season I 829 00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:32,040 Speaker 1: would do this if that ever happened. I told him 830 00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:35,160 Speaker 1: right from the get go, Hey, if you have questions, 831 00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:37,560 Speaker 1: I'm happy to try to help you out, but I'm 832 00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,440 Speaker 1: not going to just always kind of be around you. 833 00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:42,799 Speaker 1: You know, a lot of it, and kind of Tebecca's point, 834 00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:45,920 Speaker 1: part of the magic of this is you kind of 835 00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:48,000 Speaker 1: have to figure it out for yourself, and then that 836 00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,680 Speaker 1: really is the best, I think advice, because all of 837 00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:54,200 Speaker 1: our journeys are so different. I mean, his season isn't 838 00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:57,719 Speaker 1: going to resemble mine at all, or Peter's, or Colton's 839 00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,840 Speaker 1: or Matt's, Serena, yours, Becca, yours, nobody. I mean, we 840 00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:03,759 Speaker 1: all have our own path that we're going to take. 841 00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:06,919 Speaker 1: We're all different and unique people. So I really thought 842 00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,560 Speaker 1: it was it was wholesome. I thought it was really 843 00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:13,919 Speaker 1: refreshing to find out Clayton had no problem at any 844 00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:18,080 Speaker 1: point pulling me aside and being like, Hey, I don't 845 00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:21,480 Speaker 1: know what to do. Has this ever happened? Can I 846 00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:23,920 Speaker 1: do this? You know? What do you think about this? 847 00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:26,920 Speaker 1: You know, I know it's not easy, especially for a 848 00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:29,279 Speaker 1: lot of men today to do that, and certainly one 849 00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,880 Speaker 1: in that role because you're the bachelor, You're supposed to 850 00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,800 Speaker 1: have all the answers, you're the guy, and he's really 851 00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:38,560 Speaker 1: he's very sincere and very sweet that way, and I 852 00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:40,880 Speaker 1: thought that was That was probably the thing Serena that 853 00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,440 Speaker 1: caught me off guard, but probably the thing I was 854 00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:48,319 Speaker 1: the most impressed about as well. That's great. Yeah, to 855 00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:51,319 Speaker 1: your point too. I mean there's only so much you 856 00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,480 Speaker 1: can see and get to know from somebody through the 857 00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:56,359 Speaker 1: TV screen, but just spending time with him, he genuinely 858 00:42:56,640 --> 00:43:01,080 Speaker 1: is just a good kind man. Like he is a 859 00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:04,600 Speaker 1: very very kind soul, and that's something that I'm sure 860 00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:07,560 Speaker 1: we'll come across and viewers will get to know more. 861 00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:10,200 Speaker 1: But he's a good guy just looking for love and 862 00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:13,880 Speaker 1: it's um, it's very endearing. I would say, even just 863 00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:17,200 Speaker 1: watching Night one and you two together, it's endearing to 864 00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:19,879 Speaker 1: see him not quite know what to do or how 865 00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:22,400 Speaker 1: this is going to be, or what this entire journey 866 00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:24,719 Speaker 1: will look like, but to just go with it. So 867 00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:28,760 Speaker 1: I'm excited to see both of you along the way. 868 00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:33,760 Speaker 1: One last question before we play a game, and that 869 00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,640 Speaker 1: is we know that there's so much to come, and 870 00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:39,240 Speaker 1: we also know that there's a lot you cannot give away. 871 00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:44,080 Speaker 1: So if you could give us three adjectives to describe 872 00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:47,520 Speaker 1: Clayton's season so far or I just guess of what 873 00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:52,760 Speaker 1: will be? What would what would those three words be? Wow? 874 00:43:53,160 --> 00:44:00,880 Speaker 1: Three great adjectives. I would say. First, I would say mama, 875 00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:05,799 Speaker 1: and I would say love or journey, And I know 876 00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:08,239 Speaker 1: those are sort of like taglines for this franchise and 877 00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:12,960 Speaker 1: the show, But Clayton's story really is a beautiful story 878 00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:17,800 Speaker 1: of love and it's it's not the path that everybody 879 00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:21,600 Speaker 1: might expect when they turn on the Batchelor episode one. 880 00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:25,600 Speaker 1: This sort of takes a very very different you know, 881 00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:27,839 Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that happened that it kind 882 00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:30,960 Speaker 1: of he gets off the main path sometimes and does 883 00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:35,399 Speaker 1: it and does it knowingly and sometimes unknowingly. But it's 884 00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:38,719 Speaker 1: because of that. There's a lot of drama and there's 885 00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,239 Speaker 1: a lot of first but I think that's that's his 886 00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:44,439 Speaker 1: authentic path to finding love, and I think that's really 887 00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:46,880 Speaker 1: going to come across as people continue to watch the season. 888 00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:50,879 Speaker 1: Oh right, I can't wait, Serene.

It's a good one. Okay. Do you 982 00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:34,840 Speaker 1: prefer watching sports or playing sports? I prefer playing sports 983 00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:40,719 Speaker 1: until tackling is involved, and then I totally enjoy watching. Yeah, 984 00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:42,799 Speaker 1: it's like for my job. Now. It's like I'm, you know, 985 00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:45,000 Speaker 1: like I met the Rose Bowl a couple of days ago, 986 00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:49,040 Speaker 1: watching Ohio State and Utah play, and I'm watching all 987 00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:51,959 Speaker 1: these guys run into each other from like feet away 988 00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:54,759 Speaker 1: from them, and I'm like, why did I ever want 989 00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:58,719 Speaker 1: to did this? Why what was I thinking? This is crazy? 990 00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:01,359 Speaker 1: My body feels so much much better now waking up 991 00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:04,640 Speaker 1: hosting The Bachelor versus when I was trying quarterback getting 992 00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:09,799 Speaker 1: chased way way less less stress on the body at 993 00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:12,440 Speaker 1: least so yes, I would say kind of depends in 994 00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:16,080 Speaker 1: the situation, but if tackling is evolved, I'd rather just 995 00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:18,839 Speaker 1: be on the couch. Yeah, I don't blame you, all right, 996 00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:23,719 Speaker 1: this is a good one. Do you have any guilty pleasures? Oh, 997 00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:29,600 Speaker 1: I define guilty. Um a guilty besides the Bachelor, besides 998 00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:37,319 Speaker 1: the um. Yeah, guilty pleasures give me like a theme 999 00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:39,920 Speaker 1: so I can, like, I just want to know, like 1000 00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:42,000 Speaker 1: where I'm allowed to go on there? Do you like 1001 00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:47,759 Speaker 1: like trashy romance novels, Hallmark movies? Um? Okay, well, well 1002 00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:50,959 Speaker 1: Serena just mentioned it. I actually am watching. I didn't 1003 00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:53,719 Speaker 1: have watched the whole Emily in Paris it's good. So 1004 00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:57,480 Speaker 1: it's so good it is, Yeah, for sure. I mean 1005 00:51:57,520 --> 00:52:00,400 Speaker 1: like through COVID it was obviously be a lot of 1006 00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:02,560 Speaker 1: different shows, but I feel like Emily in Paris with 1007 00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:05,360 Speaker 1: Me has actually kind of been under the radar. I 1008 00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:08,400 Speaker 1: wouldn't share that with too many of my my guy friends. 1009 00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:12,040 Speaker 1: But it's like, but like in the safety of this place, 1010 00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:16,359 Speaker 1: you get addicted. It really sucks you in. It totally does. 1011 00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:20,360 Speaker 1: And each episode is so short that it's it's an easy, 1012 00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:23,640 Speaker 1: happy watch. It's just it's a feel good show totally. 1013 00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:29,040 Speaker 1: It's a dose Paris and bad fashion. Yeah, very interesting fashion. 1014 00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:32,440 Speaker 1: You get the beautiful views, you get beautiful men. It's 1015 00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:36,000 Speaker 1: it's a good show. And I will say this new season, Okay, 1016 00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:38,560 Speaker 1: don't give anything away because I'm only halfway done. But 1017 00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:41,560 Speaker 1: her friend is such a good singer, so I love 1018 00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:44,799 Speaker 1: that they have like the musical in it too. Yeh, 1019 00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:47,520 Speaker 1: there's a lot of performance. Sometimes I feel like, maybe 1020 00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:49,359 Speaker 1: too much performance. I think they can kind of like 1021 00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:52,480 Speaker 1: it's a full song in every episode for the whole season. 1022 00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:58,520 Speaker 1: She had to be contractual. Yeah, all right, So we 1023 00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:01,319 Speaker 1: just had Christmas. We had New Year's Eve. We had 1024 00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:04,400 Speaker 1: a lot of binging Emily in Paris. What is your 1025 00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:07,160 Speaker 1: favorite holiday, Jesse? Are you a Christmas guy? Are you 1026 00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:11,600 Speaker 1: an Easter dude? I am a Halloween guy? No way. 1027 00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:16,360 Speaker 1: I like that is the most uncommon favorite holiday. It's true, 1028 00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:19,720 Speaker 1: and a lot of people randomly hate Halloween, which I 1029 00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:23,719 Speaker 1: cannot understand. I love getting dressed up. I love it 1030 00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:27,600 Speaker 1: and I always partake. And if if anybody hasn't done this, 1031 00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:32,319 Speaker 1: New York City has got to be the greatest Halloween 1032 00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:36,719 Speaker 1: city in the entire world. Everybody participates. I've been dressed 1033 00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:41,000 Speaker 1: as we've got to from Zoolander on a subway, on 1034 00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:48,359 Speaker 1: a subway, like holding the thing I got Halloween costume. Yes, 1035 00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:50,400 Speaker 1: and you always remember what it is to everyone right 1036 00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:51,920 Speaker 1: away to be able to tell you what was my 1037 00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:54,719 Speaker 1: best costume ever? We got to from Zoololander was by 1038 00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:57,920 Speaker 1: far mind and just like being on the subway and 1039 00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:02,759 Speaker 1: everyone is in costume, Oh yeah, it's like you don't 1040 00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:05,160 Speaker 1: kind of feel like I gotta like tuck myself into 1041 00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:07,880 Speaker 1: back of this. Everyone's gonna think I look ridiculous. Everyone 1042 00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:11,640 Speaker 1: plays alone. It's like, if you're not, you wouldn't even 1043 00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:13,160 Speaker 1: need to leave. That's where I would go and just 1044 00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:15,560 Speaker 1: spend my entire night eating candy in the corner of 1045 00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:22,400 Speaker 1: the subway. Exactly what were you this year? I couldn't 1046 00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:24,600 Speaker 1: do it this year because I was working. I was 1047 00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:27,360 Speaker 1: just I was. I was. I was a sports broadcaster. 1048 00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:31,320 Speaker 1: Slash posted Okay, see you think I wore this jacket? 1049 00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:35,080 Speaker 1: Yeah I was. I was like too fast, it's cooled enough, Jesse. 1050 00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:37,680 Speaker 1: It has been such a blast having you.

I really like him too, And 1057 00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:03,160 Speaker 1: after watching him on the episode and then also talking 1058 00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:05,640 Speaker 1: to him, I just think he is such a wonderful 1059 00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:08,080 Speaker 1: fit as the host this season. I'm really excited to 1060 00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:10,440 Speaker 1: watch him. I am too, And I will say because 1061 00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:12,640 Speaker 1: you know, you and I are both in touch with 1062 00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:14,640 Speaker 1: a lot of the team that still works on the show, 1063 00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:18,960 Speaker 1: and everybody that I've talked to has nothing but such nice, 1064 00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:22,120 Speaker 1: incredible things to say about him. I think he really 1065 00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:23,960 Speaker 1: just went above and beyond, went out of his way 1066 00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:26,720 Speaker 1: to get to know everyone, to really spend time with 1067 00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:30,520 Speaker 1: Clayton and also the crew, which I think is really important, 1068 00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:33,520 Speaker 1: especially when you're spending so much time together. So I 1069 00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:36,680 Speaker 1: always like having guests on when you know you hear 1070 00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:38,799 Speaker 1: great things about them, but then you are able to 1071 00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:40,560 Speaker 1: sit and talk with them for a while and get 1072 00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:43,560 Speaker 1: to know them on a deeper level, and it's nice 1073 00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:46,560 Speaker 1: when you just have good, genuine people. Definitely, he was 1074 00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:48,719 Speaker 1: so easy to talk to and I think that he 1075 00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:52,000 Speaker 1: gave a lot of really great insight into who Clayton 1076 00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:54,280 Speaker 1: is and kind of what we can expect from this season, 1077 00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:56,280 Speaker 1: and it just has made me that much more excited 1078 00:55:56,320 --> 00:56:00,480 Speaker 1: to watch. I mean, drama love for what else can 1079 00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:03,440 Speaker 1: you ask for? First, I am really excited about the 1080 00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:05,640 Speaker 1: first this season. I think it's always interesting to watch 1081 00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:08,960 Speaker 1: when there's a different kind of format or dynamic or 1082 00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:10,640 Speaker 1: the lead to something different. I think we're going to 1083 00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:12,360 Speaker 1: see a lot of that from Clayton. Based on what 1084 00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:14,440 Speaker 1: Jesse said today, Yeah, yeah, I think he's really going 1085 00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:17,200 Speaker 1: to make this his own as every lead does. As 1086 00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:20,720 Speaker 1: Jesse said, nothing, not one season looks like the past. 1087 00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:25,960 Speaker 1: But I really think Clayton will have quite the ride 1088 00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:30,680 Speaker 1: and really make this his own, his own special journey. 1089 00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:32,239 Speaker 1: And you know, all I can hope is that he 1090 00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:34,040 Speaker 1: finds love because he is a good dude, so I 1091 00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:37,480 Speaker 1: know how bad he wants that. So we will just 1092 00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:40,960 Speaker 1: have to wait and see.
