0:00:02.120 --> 0:00:06.640
<v Speaker 1>What's up, Bachelor Happy Hour listeners, Happy twenty twenty two.

0:00:06.800 --> 0:00:09.879
<v Speaker 1>I can not believe it is already January, already a

0:00:09.880 --> 0:00:13.039
<v Speaker 1>new year, and has I mean, so much has happened

0:00:13.080 --> 0:00:14.800
<v Speaker 1>in the past year and the fact that we are

0:00:14.840 --> 0:00:18.280
<v Speaker 1>starting a new Bachelor season already just blows my mind.

0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:21.840
<v Speaker 1>I hope everyone had a great relaxing holiday with some

0:00:21.960 --> 0:00:24.960
<v Speaker 1>time off, and this year We're going to just kick

0:00:25.040 --> 0:00:28.000
<v Speaker 1>things off strong because I am so excited to have

0:00:28.320 --> 0:00:31.240
<v Speaker 1>one of my best ladies on joining me as guest

0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:35.520
<v Speaker 1>co host today, Serena. Welcome to Bachelor Happy Hours. Thank

0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:39.159
<v Speaker 1>you so much, Becca, and happy New Year two as well.

0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:41.720
<v Speaker 1>I am so excited to be here with you today.

0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:44.919
<v Speaker 1>So yes, last night we kicked off Clayton season of

0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:47.239
<v Speaker 1>The Bachelor, and I think you will agree with me

0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:50.320
<v Speaker 1>when I say it did not disappoint. I mean, we

0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:53.840
<v Speaker 1>are really starting off this season with love, drama, the

0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:56.560
<v Speaker 1>whole shebang, and I cannot wait to see how it unfolds.

0:00:56.560 --> 0:00:59.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm also super excited for today's guest, the new host

0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:02.200
<v Speaker 1>of The Bat Jesse Palmer, who we finally got to

0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:04.120
<v Speaker 1>see last night, and we are lucky enough to have

0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:06.960
<v Speaker 1>here as our guest on half Yard today. Yeah, I'm

0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:10.120
<v Speaker 1>so excited to have Jesse on because I know that

0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:13.280
<v Speaker 1>there's been rumblings in bachel Nation if he was going

0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:15.520
<v Speaker 1>to be host, if he was going to be announced

0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:17.640
<v Speaker 1>as like the full time host. There's just so many,

0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:20.960
<v Speaker 1>I think, speculations around him. So we finally got to

0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:24.080
<v Speaker 1>see him. I will say, I want to get to

0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:25.400
<v Speaker 1>know him a little bit more, And that's why I'm

0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:27.760
<v Speaker 1>excited to have him on today because of course, like

0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 1>when you're the host, he's so poised and he's the

0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:33.800
<v Speaker 1>one guiding Clayton. He's gone through this before, he was

0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:37.960
<v Speaker 1>Bachelor several years ago, and he's been part of this world,

0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:40.000
<v Speaker 1>so I think there's no one better than that can

0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:42.680
<v Speaker 1>kind of kick off the year off Clayton season with him.

0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:44.520
<v Speaker 1>But it's going to be good to get to know

0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:47.960
<v Speaker 1>him a bit more, the manned behind the host role.

0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:51.320
<v Speaker 1>If you will, I definitely agree. There's a couple of

0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:53.800
<v Speaker 1>things I really love about Jesse, which is one he's

0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:57.560
<v Speaker 1>a fellow Canadian. Yes, that's right, he's a half Bachelor.

0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:00.800
<v Speaker 1>And I really thought that on last night episode him

0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:04.520
<v Speaker 1>and Clayton had fantastic chemistry. They really just seemed to

0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:06.520
<v Speaker 1>have a good vibe. They seemed comfortable with each other,

0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:08.760
<v Speaker 1>and I think that Jesse's gonna be able to give

0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:11.720
<v Speaker 1>Clayton a lot of really fantastic advice this season. Definitely.

0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:13.519
<v Speaker 1>And you want to know what one of the most

0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:16.240
<v Speaker 1>fun parts watching it all back was was obviously we

0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:18.799
<v Speaker 1>haven't filmed at the Mansion in a while, but this

0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:22.400
<v Speaker 1>was both Clayton and Jesse's first times at the mansion

0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:25.120
<v Speaker 1>because when Jesse say that, yeah, because when Jesse was

0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:27.680
<v Speaker 1>Bachelor I don't even think the mansion was a thing yet.

0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:30.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't know where they were when they filmed his season,

0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:32.960
<v Speaker 1>but it was fun to see them get the lay

0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:35.160
<v Speaker 1>of the land and kind of start this new I

0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:37.360
<v Speaker 1>don't want to say journey, but I'm going to say journey.

0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:41.120
<v Speaker 1>If you will together do it? Say it? How many

0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:43.840
<v Speaker 1>cliches can we make in one episode? So funny, but

0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:45.960
<v Speaker 1>it really did. It brought a lot of the magic

0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:47.720
<v Speaker 1>back to the show. I mean, we haven't seen the

0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:51.840
<v Speaker 1>Mansion in over a year now. It's obviously an iconic

0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:55.720
<v Speaker 1>building in the franchise, and I was personally really excited

0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:57.800
<v Speaker 1>to see it brought back to life. And I am

0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:00.480
<v Speaker 1>sure Clayton and Jesse really kind of felt it all

0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:03.400
<v Speaker 1>come together. Yeah, it was a night one is always

0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:06.680
<v Speaker 1>so fun. I mean, there's, of course, so many women

0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:10.560
<v Speaker 1>that we meet, so many different entrances, so many different personalities,

0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:13.239
<v Speaker 1>which leads me to how I want to start this out,

0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:15.919
<v Speaker 1>because before we really get into the recap of everything,

0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:20.600
<v Speaker 1>we saw so many different styles, so many accessories, beautiful dresses,

0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:22.359
<v Speaker 1>which I want to get into because I know how

0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:25.800
<v Speaker 1>much you love fashion and you always are styled to

0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:29.000
<v Speaker 1>the nines. You always dress so well, so I might

0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:32.639
<v Speaker 1>hire you to style me. But I know you definitely

0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.520
<v Speaker 1>took notes on the style and the accessories. So let's

0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:38.560
<v Speaker 1>get into some of the highlights, like who would you

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:41.560
<v Speaker 1>say was the best dress out of all these women? Yes,

0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:44.400
<v Speaker 1>I am so ready to talk about the fashion because

0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:47.120
<v Speaker 1>we saw some really great looks this season. I think

0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:49.840
<v Speaker 1>we saw a lot more gold than we've ever seen before.

0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:52.400
<v Speaker 1>There's usually a ton of red, I feel like in

0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:54.360
<v Speaker 1>the room, and this year we were more on like

0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:58.320
<v Speaker 1>the gold palette, which I'm a big fan of. Speaking

0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:01.400
<v Speaker 1>of gold, one of my favorite best dress was Sarah.

0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:04.440
<v Speaker 1>She was first of the Limo. She had beautiful, like

0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:09.480
<v Speaker 1>long wavy hair and the dress just fit her gorgeous,

0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:12.360
<v Speaker 1>and I just feel like it matched her skin tone

0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:15.360
<v Speaker 1>really beautifully. Yeah big fan of that look. But I'm

0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:19.280
<v Speaker 1>gonna have to give my best dress to Serene. She

0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:23.760
<v Speaker 1>wore this stunning turquoise fitted dress with a low back,

0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:26.880
<v Speaker 1>a little rousing in the back, and what topped off

0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:29.520
<v Speaker 1>the look for me was she had these gorgeous drop

0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:32.400
<v Speaker 1>earrings on. She was the only one in that color,

0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:35.280
<v Speaker 1>so she really stood out. But yeah, Serene would have

0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:38.400
<v Speaker 1>to be my best dress. I have to agree with you.

0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:42.039
<v Speaker 1>I loved so I'm a news splash. I'm sure this

0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:45.680
<v Speaker 1>doesn't come as a shocked anyone not super into fashion.

0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:48.719
<v Speaker 1>I just don't pay attention to detail that well, you know,

0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:50.719
<v Speaker 1>and when I watched these episodes back, there's so much

0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:52.520
<v Speaker 1>going on that I'm trying to take in the conversation

0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:54.840
<v Speaker 1>that I don't always pay attention to what people are wearing.

0:04:54.880 --> 0:05:00.360
<v Speaker 1>But Serenes gown was stunning. That color was incredib bowl.

0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:04.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad that she did something a little bit different

0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:06.760
<v Speaker 1>and bold and it was just beautiful. It fit her

0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:09.760
<v Speaker 1>so well. I would give her the best dress of

0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:12.840
<v Speaker 1>the night too. And I also have to agree there

0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:15.640
<v Speaker 1>was so much gold, so many sparkles, which I was like,

0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:19.320
<v Speaker 1>this is pretty for the New Year. Absolutely, absolutely, very

0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:22.560
<v Speaker 1>like twenty twenty two, Happy New Year. Let's all throw

0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:25.400
<v Speaker 1>on some gold, some sparkles. We didn't see as much

0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:27.880
<v Speaker 1>white as we usually see. We only saw two white dresses.

0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:30.280
<v Speaker 1>But I did think that Susie, she was in like

0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:34.120
<v Speaker 1>a one strop white tight gown. Her and Clayton. I

0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:36.000
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh, we got like a little bride and

0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:38.799
<v Speaker 1>groom moments happening. Because he was in the Navy talk.

0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:41.440
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I'm liking this. They look really good together.

0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:45.600
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of Susie, I'm a fan of Susie already. I

0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:48.760
<v Speaker 1>hope Susie, if you're listening, please don't disappoint this season

0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:51.440
<v Speaker 1>because right now she I don't know if it's like

0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:54.920
<v Speaker 1>her personality or if she just reminds me of somebody. Yeah,

0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:59.240
<v Speaker 1>but she's I'm calling it right now, she's a top contender.

0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:03.800
<v Speaker 1>I think Susie will go far. Absolutely her personality. I mean,

0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:07.840
<v Speaker 1>she's stunning, but her personality really shine through. I mean,

0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:11.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure all the girls feel nervous to different extents.

0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:12.839
<v Speaker 1>Maybe she was really nervous, But if she was, I

0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:16.520
<v Speaker 1>couldn't tell. She just seemed to be really excited, enjoying herself,

0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:19.640
<v Speaker 1>and very comfortable in her own skin. And yeah, I

0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:21.800
<v Speaker 1>thought they definitely had chemistry. I see her going far

0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:24.880
<v Speaker 1>as well. And she's a badass. She's not only traveled

0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:27.720
<v Speaker 1>around the world, has lived in different countries. But she

0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:30.280
<v Speaker 1>and I don't want to screw this up, but she's

0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:35.040
<v Speaker 1>in some sort of fighting gets called jiu jitsu. Jiu jitsu. Yes, yes, Oh,

0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:37.400
<v Speaker 1>my friend is jiu jitsu. I should okay, okay, Well

0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:40.720
<v Speaker 1>she's a badass. Dang, yeah, okay. I was like when

0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:43.440
<v Speaker 1>I saw her intro package, I was like, I'm a

0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:45.720
<v Speaker 1>fan of this one. And I loved her intro too.

0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:48.360
<v Speaker 1>She didn't just go in for the hug. She went

0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:51.560
<v Speaker 1>in for the firm handshake buzzer, so you know she's

0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:54.080
<v Speaker 1>got a good sense humor. I know, I thought the

0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:56.200
<v Speaker 1>firm handshake was a bowl move. I was like, Susie,

0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:58.360
<v Speaker 1>where are you going with this? This is the bachelor,

0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:00.760
<v Speaker 1>Let's go in for that hug. She played it off

0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:03.800
<v Speaker 1>really cute, and I really liked her entrance. I also

0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:07.640
<v Speaker 1>really liked who was the other entrance. I was saying, oh,

0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:11.520
<v Speaker 1>Kate Kate did the nixt entrance or she pulled out

0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:14.720
<v Speaker 1>her shots. I thought that was adorable. I thought she

0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:18.200
<v Speaker 1>played it off super well. Oh. I thought she was

0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:20.760
<v Speaker 1>gonna before she pulled out the bottles. I thought, you

0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:23.080
<v Speaker 1>know how like we wear the like the nipple covers,

0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:26.360
<v Speaker 1>like the petals or that I call them chicken cutlets. Yeah,

0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:28.440
<v Speaker 1>that's what she was gonna pull out. And I was like,

0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:31.600
<v Speaker 1>damn girl. And the first meeting, I'm so happy it

0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:34.480
<v Speaker 1>was shot and not that, which I think was good.

0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:36.320
<v Speaker 1>I think it helped loosen both of them up a

0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:38.400
<v Speaker 1>little bit. And you know, let's be honest, that night

0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:41.440
<v Speaker 1>is so full of nerves, and it's just like I

0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:44.600
<v Speaker 1>feel like sometimes at different moments you're paralyzed with just

0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:47.320
<v Speaker 1>like everything that's happening. So I felt like it kind

0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:49.600
<v Speaker 1>of brought them down to like this fun level where

0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:51.720
<v Speaker 1>they could just take a sit, feel the burn, get

0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:54.880
<v Speaker 1>into the rest of the night. It was good. Speaking

0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:57.239
<v Speaker 1>of going back to Susie's entrance with the firm handshake,

0:07:57.480 --> 0:07:59.440
<v Speaker 1>did you think that was more bold or do you

0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:01.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't even remember who did it, but there was

0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:03.880
<v Speaker 1>one woman who walked in and didn't even talk. She

0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:06.720
<v Speaker 1>didn't say it, dear Lord. Yes, wait, I feel like

0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:10.360
<v Speaker 1>I wrote her name down. I think it was Ivanna,

0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:13.240
<v Speaker 1>and I thought it was kind of sexy. I could

0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:15.200
<v Speaker 1>never have pulled that off because I talk way too

0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:17.960
<v Speaker 1>much and I get too nervous. But I could never

0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:19.520
<v Speaker 1>I could never have done it. I would have been

0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:22.400
<v Speaker 1>so nervous. I would have looked so awkward. She was

0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:24.720
<v Speaker 1>an overall bold entrance because she was wearing like a

0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:30.840
<v Speaker 1>really bright bruce Yeah, the one sleeve dress, like very

0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:33.439
<v Speaker 1>like sexy, and she came out and I was like,

0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:36.120
<v Speaker 1>where is this going, When's she gonna talk? Never, she

0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:39.520
<v Speaker 1>was never gonna talk. I loved it, though, I loved

0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:43.960
<v Speaker 1>her style, and I'm sad to say she left, but

0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:46.280
<v Speaker 1>I know, and I don't know if it's because that

0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:48.480
<v Speaker 1>was like one of their only interactions that they had

0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:51.560
<v Speaker 1>where they couldn't even speak. I think it's hard too,

0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:54.080
<v Speaker 1>because not everyone necessarily gets to talk to the lead

0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:56.160
<v Speaker 1>on the first night. And if she didn't get a

0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:59.120
<v Speaker 1>chance to talk to him inside, I mean, he's going

0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:01.360
<v Speaker 1>off of knowing no thing about her. So I think

0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:03.360
<v Speaker 1>something like that is definitely a risk. It could go

0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:06.800
<v Speaker 1>either way. Yeah, it was a little risky. Didn't play

0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:09.000
<v Speaker 1>out for her, but who knows, maybe we will see

0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:11.439
<v Speaker 1>her on Paradise one day. I loved that dress, thought, girl,

0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:12.800
<v Speaker 1>I need to know where you got that dress from.

0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:15.640
<v Speaker 1>It was stunning. It was a statement for sure. Overall,

0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:21.440
<v Speaker 1>it was some great entrances, some pretty chill entrances, but

0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:25.640
<v Speaker 1>we need to get into the actual first night, and

0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:29.040
<v Speaker 1>not only like in the midst of the chaos, but

0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:32.040
<v Speaker 1>prior to that. We have something that happened that I

0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:34.400
<v Speaker 1>don't think we've ever seen before on the show, and

0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:39.880
<v Speaker 1>that is a woman self eliminating before the arrivals even

0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:44.280
<v Speaker 1>and so yeah, definitely a shock Sally. Sally shocked the

0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:46.680
<v Speaker 1>nation for sure with that one. I can say I've

0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:49.800
<v Speaker 1>never seen that from my time watching the show. And

0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:52.280
<v Speaker 1>all I'll say is I want Sally on the podcast

0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:55.080
<v Speaker 1>because I got a lot of follow up questions about

0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:58.800
<v Speaker 1>this engagement about the wedding. I mean, I want the details.

0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:02.640
<v Speaker 1>But I will say I respected that she turned down

0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:06.720
<v Speaker 1>Clayton's rose. Yes I did too, I'm actually and I

0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:11.479
<v Speaker 1>will say overall too, I'm surprised that they even included

0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:15.800
<v Speaker 1>any of that because quite frankly, like we didn't need

0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:19.440
<v Speaker 1>to see any of Sally's intro package. We didn't need

0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:21.720
<v Speaker 1>to see that conversation. They really couldn't just cut that

0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:25.560
<v Speaker 1>out and have him meet the thirty Girls night one.

0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:28.960
<v Speaker 1>And so it leads me to think I have a

0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:33.640
<v Speaker 1>suspicion that people are going to fall for Sally. People

0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:35.840
<v Speaker 1>are going to really like Sally, and this is not

0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:38.600
<v Speaker 1>going to be the last time we see Sally on

0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:41.160
<v Speaker 1>a season. I think when she's had more time to

0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:45.360
<v Speaker 1>heal and get through that breakup, you know, because it

0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:47.160
<v Speaker 1>was she was engaged, she was about to get married

0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:49.960
<v Speaker 1>for goodness sake, I think once she's had more time

0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:52.480
<v Speaker 1>and because really ready, I think we'll see her back

0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:57.080
<v Speaker 1>on her screams. I mean, she's beautiful, she seemed, you know,

0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:00.120
<v Speaker 1>like she just wasn't ready. Wasn't the place for it.

0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:03.080
<v Speaker 1>But I also think that it speaks to Clayton's journey.

0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:05.040
<v Speaker 1>I think that's probably why they showed it, because when

0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:07.800
<v Speaker 1>I was watching it, you know, I definitely felt for Sally.

0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:10.600
<v Speaker 1>I respected that she leaned into her decision of you know,

0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:12.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm not ready and I'm gonna go home. I think

0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:14.800
<v Speaker 1>that was the respectful thing to do for both Sally

0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:18.560
<v Speaker 1>and for Clayton. But I think imagine, I mean, you

0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:21.040
<v Speaker 1>were the lead, Becca, how would you have felt if

0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:24.240
<v Speaker 1>someone came tried to leave this was you know, before

0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:26.600
<v Speaker 1>you're even stuffing out of the limo, you said, hey,

0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:28.720
<v Speaker 1>I feel the connection. I'm excited. I want you to say,

0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:32.480
<v Speaker 1>here's the rose and they said no. I mean Clayton's

0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:34.920
<v Speaker 1>first rose as the Bachelor was turned out. How do

0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:37.240
<v Speaker 1>you think that affected him going to Night one? Oh,

0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:40.440
<v Speaker 1>it would have been tough. And I was thinking about that, like,

0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:42.360
<v Speaker 1>how would I have reacted? I mean, I think he

0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:47.240
<v Speaker 1>looked so kind, so thoughtful. I think he looked very

0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:51.600
<v Speaker 1>respectful in that moment where he, you know, he was

0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:53.560
<v Speaker 1>into her. He had mentioned that there was that connection,

0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:55.960
<v Speaker 1>that chemistry, but he can't force anything and he has

0:11:56.000 --> 0:12:00.679
<v Speaker 1>to respect her wishes. So I think he came across

0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:05.440
<v Speaker 1>looking great in that scenario. But I think being in

0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:09.040
<v Speaker 1>that position, when you're already nervous, it's already very overwhelming,

0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:12.360
<v Speaker 1>I would be torn because I'd be like, Okay, I

0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:14.839
<v Speaker 1>still have so many incredible people I'm going to be

0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:16.760
<v Speaker 1>meeting tonight, Like I'm not going to let this really

0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:19.840
<v Speaker 1>put a damper on what's to come, because there's still

0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:23.240
<v Speaker 1>so much potential, but also I would feel a little

0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:27.120
<v Speaker 1>bit down because, let's be honest, like that's like, whoever

0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:30.400
<v Speaker 1>the lead is is the most eligible person to be

0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:35.440
<v Speaker 1>dating right now, and so that just because it doesn't happen,

0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:37.240
<v Speaker 1>I'd be a little shocked and like, you know, it

0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:40.080
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't feel great. It would be a little kick to

0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:42.560
<v Speaker 1>the gut of like a Okay, is this what it's

0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:44.720
<v Speaker 1>good to be? Like, like what was the point of

0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:48.640
<v Speaker 1>that conversation if she wasn't ready, I would say though

0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:52.480
<v Speaker 1>his energy going in tonight one seemed super excited once

0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:54.680
<v Speaker 1>that first limbo pulled up, so if he was phased

0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:57.360
<v Speaker 1>by it, he didn't show it. And all the women

0:12:57.440 --> 0:12:59.920
<v Speaker 1>seem fantastic, so I think he's got a really good group.

0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:03.600
<v Speaker 1>But Sally wasn't the only woman to leave that night.

0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:07.719
<v Speaker 1>We also had Claire. Now that was a whole different situation.

0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:12.920
<v Speaker 1>I'll say, I have always kind of wanted someone to

0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:15.200
<v Speaker 1>meet the lead and say, you know what, I don't

0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:17.720
<v Speaker 1>feel the connection. I mean, there's so many women there

0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:21.560
<v Speaker 1>someone has gone and not feel it. But I think

0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Claire maybe took it a little too far with how

0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:29.400
<v Speaker 1>open and strongly she was expressing her dislike for Clayton,

0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:31.280
<v Speaker 1>and I think it's definitely for the best that she's

0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:34.319
<v Speaker 1>not there anymore. Yeah, I will say it was entertaining

0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:37.480
<v Speaker 1>because again, that's not something we've seen before. I mean,

0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:39.760
<v Speaker 1>most people are head over heels for whoever it is,

0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:42.079
<v Speaker 1>even if it's just because you're like sucked into that moment.

0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:48.080
<v Speaker 1>But the way she went about it was terrible, and

0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:52.040
<v Speaker 1>she lied basically on national television, like she fled out,

0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:54.280
<v Speaker 1>said I hate him, and then when he confronted her

0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:57.080
<v Speaker 1>about it, she said I didn't say that. She's like, no,

0:13:57.160 --> 0:13:59.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't hate you. I was like, well, you did

0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:03.360
<v Speaker 1>just get multiple times that you have the footage, Yeah,

0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:07.200
<v Speaker 1>the footage, we have the receipts. But yeah, I mean

0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:10.280
<v Speaker 1>when she sat down, was like, the vibes just aren't there.

0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:12.520
<v Speaker 1>I was like, totally fair, Like I've been waiting for

0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:14.760
<v Speaker 1>this to happen. But then when she went on to

0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:17.440
<v Speaker 1>just be like I hate him, it's awful. I was like, well, Claire,

0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:20.240
<v Speaker 1>you know church was outside that can take you home,

0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:22.800
<v Speaker 1>and I think that you should get in one of them.

0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:25.880
<v Speaker 1>Well what did she say when she walks back? And

0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:28.880
<v Speaker 1>obviously it was because she was hurt because he walked

0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:32.400
<v Speaker 1>away with somebody else, Like I know exactly if if

0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:35.200
<v Speaker 1>you would have sat down and not gone off with

0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:37.800
<v Speaker 1>the other woman probably then and there to talk to

0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:39.840
<v Speaker 1>and just sat and talk to de Claire, she probably

0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:42.440
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't have had that big of a reaction. But she

0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:46.320
<v Speaker 1>walks in and she goes, He's a catastrophe. It's like,

0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:51.360
<v Speaker 1>is he or are you like your tailgate more of

0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:55.400
<v Speaker 1>a catastrophe? I don't know. I think I mean, I

0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:57.960
<v Speaker 1>think it was more so of an ego thing, I

0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:02.320
<v Speaker 1>will say honestly. She'll also probably be in Paradise. I mean,

0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:08.400
<v Speaker 1>she'll be entertaining. She would have made a great villain,

0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:11.120
<v Speaker 1>if you will. But we didn't get to see that

0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:13.440
<v Speaker 1>much of her, which is probably a good thing. Maybe

0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:15.960
<v Speaker 1>on Paradise or in her real life she will find

0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:18.720
<v Speaker 1>someone that is the right person for her, and clearly

0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:22.880
<v Speaker 1>that was not Tighty exactly. Well. I can't wait to

0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:26.000
<v Speaker 1>see more of this season, to get to know Clayton

0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:28.400
<v Speaker 1>and all of these women a bit more. But there's

0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:30.960
<v Speaker 1>somebody that we have joining us right now that we

0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:33.040
<v Speaker 1>really want to get to know for who he is,

0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:34.600
<v Speaker 1>because I have a feeling he's going to be around

0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:38.400
<v Speaker 1>for quite some time. So without further do Serena, I

0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:42.080
<v Speaker 1>think we should bring on Jesse Palmer. Yes, let's do it. Jesse.

0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:45.160
<v Speaker 1>We are so excited to have you, and Serena and

0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:46.800
<v Speaker 1>I were talking a little bit before you got on,

0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:50.240
<v Speaker 1>because we obviously know a bit about you, but we're

0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:52.160
<v Speaker 1>so excited to have you here to get to know

0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:54.600
<v Speaker 1>you so much more. I know that you were the

0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:59.920
<v Speaker 1>Bachelor in two thousand and four, correct, I was, yes, Okay,

0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:02.240
<v Speaker 1>so it's good that you're already part of the Bachelor

0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:04.360
<v Speaker 1>family of the Batchelor Nation. I'm sure you've seen so

0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:07.680
<v Speaker 1>many things changed throughout the year since your time on

0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:11.840
<v Speaker 1>the show. But since then, catch us up on your life.

0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:13.920
<v Speaker 1>What have you been doing since two thousand and four

0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:18.200
<v Speaker 1>and now? Oh my gosh, okay, Well, we filmed the

0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:20.080
<v Speaker 1>show in two thousand and four. I think I was

0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:22.840
<v Speaker 1>like twenty five years old. I was in my third

0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:25.120
<v Speaker 1>year with the New York Giants. I was playing quarterback

0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:28.440
<v Speaker 1>in the NFL. It was my dream job. When the

0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:31.240
<v Speaker 1>show wrapped, I went back kept playing football for another

0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:34.440
<v Speaker 1>couple of years, and then started a career in broadcasting

0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:37.520
<v Speaker 1>with ESPN covering college football. So that started in like

0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:40.400
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and seven, and I've been kind of doing

0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:43.200
<v Speaker 1>that really for the last fifteen years. It's been like

0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:46.800
<v Speaker 1>ESPN that had opened the door for some food network.

0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:50.360
<v Speaker 1>I got into Good Morning America, Daily Mail TV, and

0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:53.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot of different a lot of different sort of

0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:57.880
<v Speaker 1>mediums on air. I've done some projects for ABC in

0:16:57.920 --> 0:17:01.280
<v Speaker 1>the Bachelor Family as well. I hosted the Posal. We

0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:05.199
<v Speaker 1>just did Ultimate Surfer this past summer. So professionally that

0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:09.240
<v Speaker 1>that's kind of where life has taken me since personally,

0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:12.120
<v Speaker 1>I finally met the love of my life about five

0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:13.960
<v Speaker 1>years ago here in New York City. It took me

0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:16.560
<v Speaker 1>a while, but I finally I finally got there and

0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:20.520
<v Speaker 1>I met Emily, and Emily and I got married last summer,

0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:25.879
<v Speaker 1>which was really yeah, thanks, Ye took me a minute,

0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:28.480
<v Speaker 1>but we finally we finally got there, and so it's

0:17:28.480 --> 0:17:30.960
<v Speaker 1>been really really exciting. We're just you know, we're here

0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:34.639
<v Speaker 1>living in New York City. And obviously been a huge,

0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:37.919
<v Speaker 1>huge fan of the show. I've been watching all the

0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:41.439
<v Speaker 1>shows all along, and as obviously as a member of

0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:44.919
<v Speaker 1>Bachelor Nation, tuning in religiously and obviously so to have

0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:46.960
<v Speaker 1>this opportunity and to get to be a part of

0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:48.840
<v Speaker 1>it and to help Clayton on his journey coming up

0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:51.840
<v Speaker 1>starting tonight. For me, really, it's a dream come true.

0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:54.359
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is really like a full circle moment

0:17:54.440 --> 0:17:56.920
<v Speaker 1>for you then going back and being you know, Bachelor

0:17:57.040 --> 0:18:02.320
<v Speaker 1>number five, to pursuing a career, getting married, congratulations on that,

0:18:02.400 --> 0:18:06.479
<v Speaker 1>and now your back get the Bachelor Mansion, being the host.

0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:09.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, how did that feel? Were you excited? Were

0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:11.359
<v Speaker 1>you nervous? I know, you've never been to the mansion before,

0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:14.720
<v Speaker 1>so that was new for you as well as Clayton. Yeah,

0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:17.159
<v Speaker 1>it's it's so true, Street and it's funny sometimes how

0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:20.320
<v Speaker 1>life happens. Like at the time when I was well,

0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:22.000
<v Speaker 1>I never knew I was going to be the Bachelor

0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:23.879
<v Speaker 1>in the first place, and then I never knew that

0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:26.160
<v Speaker 1>I would have this opportunity to come around full circle.

0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:30.480
<v Speaker 1>So I was just so excited. The first night being

0:18:30.520 --> 0:18:32.520
<v Speaker 1>there at the mansion, to me, I was like fanning

0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:35.080
<v Speaker 1>out really because I've actually never been to the mansion before.

0:18:35.119 --> 0:18:36.800
<v Speaker 1>When when I was the bach room, it was a

0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:39.680
<v Speaker 1>totally different house. So you know, we kind of got there,

0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:41.840
<v Speaker 1>I was nervous, I kind of had all the fields.

0:18:41.880 --> 0:18:44.639
<v Speaker 1>It was like nervous. I was excited, and I remember

0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:47.239
<v Speaker 1>specifically taking a lot of time to sort of like

0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:50.680
<v Speaker 1>tiptoe around the mansion and kind of look at the rooms,

0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:53.640
<v Speaker 1>and there was just so much nostalgia there. It was like, well, yeah,

0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:55.960
<v Speaker 1>there's the Fourier where they have the Fourier chats, and

0:18:56.000 --> 0:18:58.760
<v Speaker 1>of course that's the real ceremony room. There's the couch

0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:00.919
<v Speaker 1>where all the women sit, and that's the table that

0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:02.960
<v Speaker 1>you put the first impression rows on. Oh my god,

0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:06.400
<v Speaker 1>that's the fireplace where Champagne Gate happened. On PETERC. I

0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:09.200
<v Speaker 1>totally remember, this is it, and it's like I'm going

0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:11.639
<v Speaker 1>around him and checking all the boxes and it was

0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:15.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, that moment standing out in front when Clayton's

0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:17.960
<v Speaker 1>finally arriving in a limo, that like my heart dropped.

0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:22.159
<v Speaker 1>I just thought, how cool is this. It's amazing that

0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:25.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm standing here again virtually. Obviously I was at

0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:28.240
<v Speaker 1>a different house before, but that's the moment that really

0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:31.040
<v Speaker 1>kind of hit me. So you know, people will see that.

0:19:31.080 --> 0:19:33.679
<v Speaker 1>I think on tonight's episode, I mean, you're kind of

0:19:33.720 --> 0:19:36.760
<v Speaker 1>going through all the fields. There's nervous, there's excitement, but

0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:38.560
<v Speaker 1>I think just being there to help out Clayton on

0:19:38.600 --> 0:19:41.840
<v Speaker 1>his journey to find love. For me, being there at

0:19:41.880 --> 0:19:44.440
<v Speaker 1>a place that obviously fields and static having seen so much,

0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:48.280
<v Speaker 1>it was really really cool. Well, and I'm sure you,

0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:52.200
<v Speaker 1>out of anyone, could help him through all of the

0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:55.520
<v Speaker 1>nerves and the excitement because you were a bachelor in

0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:58.640
<v Speaker 1>the past, like you were in his shoes, and so

0:19:58.880 --> 0:20:02.040
<v Speaker 1>going into that knowing that you had that lead role

0:20:02.080 --> 0:20:05.600
<v Speaker 1>in the past. How do you think that helps both

0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:09.280
<v Speaker 1>you and Clayton prepare for the overall season. Yeah, great question.

0:20:09.400 --> 0:20:12.040
<v Speaker 1>I think it helps a lot, I hope. And you know,

0:20:12.160 --> 0:20:14.680
<v Speaker 1>one thing I've been lucky at to do is having

0:20:14.760 --> 0:20:17.880
<v Speaker 1>a chance to watch Tatian Caitlin over the last couple

0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:21.479
<v Speaker 1>of seasons. I thought they did an amazing job, and

0:20:21.760 --> 0:20:24.880
<v Speaker 1>I think what's unique watching them because of course they

0:20:24.880 --> 0:20:28.000
<v Speaker 1>were in that role as well. I think a big

0:20:28.040 --> 0:20:30.720
<v Speaker 1>part of hosting The Bachelor and helping Clayton is being

0:20:31.000 --> 0:20:34.879
<v Speaker 1>empathetic and sympathetic I think to the emotional roller coaster

0:20:35.040 --> 0:20:40.840
<v Speaker 1>that goes on throughout the entire journey. As you know too, Becca,

0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:43.640
<v Speaker 1>like being in that role, there's just nothing you can

0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:46.680
<v Speaker 1>do to prepare yourself for that, and I think it's

0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:50.159
<v Speaker 1>trying to help them navigate all the different feelings they

0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:52.760
<v Speaker 1>have throughout the course of the show, and it's it's

0:20:52.760 --> 0:20:56.560
<v Speaker 1>the tough moments, it's the tough decisions, it's hurting other

0:20:56.600 --> 0:20:59.280
<v Speaker 1>people's feelings and making those types of decisions. It's the

0:20:59.359 --> 0:21:03.840
<v Speaker 1>uncertainty you have when you stop trusting yourself and self

0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:06.520
<v Speaker 1>doubt starts to creep in. And these are obviously things

0:21:06.560 --> 0:21:09.040
<v Speaker 1>that everybody in the world feels at different times of

0:21:09.040 --> 0:21:11.280
<v Speaker 1>their life dating, but when it's in that kind of

0:21:11.359 --> 0:21:15.439
<v Speaker 1>environment and there's more dating multiple women at the same time,

0:21:15.680 --> 0:21:19.000
<v Speaker 1>knowing that there is hopefully a proposal at the end,

0:21:19.400 --> 0:21:21.920
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the road, it can really really

0:21:21.920 --> 0:21:25.320
<v Speaker 1>feel overwhelming. So to me, I think the pressure for

0:21:25.400 --> 0:21:28.440
<v Speaker 1>me really was just, hey, how can I best help

0:21:28.600 --> 0:21:31.560
<v Speaker 1>Clayton find what he wants and what he wants to

0:21:31.600 --> 0:21:33.960
<v Speaker 1>find his love? He wants it so badly, he wants

0:21:33.960 --> 0:21:36.320
<v Speaker 1>to be married, he wants to have kids, and he

0:21:36.359 --> 0:21:38.800
<v Speaker 1>puts a lot of pressure on himself in this situation

0:21:38.840 --> 0:21:41.639
<v Speaker 1>in an environment because he obviously knows this is a

0:21:41.640 --> 0:21:44.760
<v Speaker 1>once in a lifetime opportunity meeting this many incredible women

0:21:45.320 --> 0:21:47.920
<v Speaker 1>that I think people will see tonight. Yeah, I think

0:21:47.960 --> 0:21:51.119
<v Speaker 1>people definitely saw you know you and Clayton have a

0:21:51.160 --> 0:21:54.160
<v Speaker 1>great chemistry so far, and I think he's really lucky

0:21:54.160 --> 0:21:56.640
<v Speaker 1>to have him. We're obviously excited to see his journey

0:21:56.680 --> 0:21:59.200
<v Speaker 1>and you join him throughout the season. But for a second,

0:21:59.280 --> 0:22:01.560
<v Speaker 1>let's take it back to two thousand and four, because

0:22:01.840 --> 0:22:04.040
<v Speaker 1>we really want the listeners to get to know you

0:22:04.200 --> 0:22:08.440
<v Speaker 1>and your journey. So how did you become the Bachelor

0:22:08.760 --> 0:22:11.280
<v Speaker 1>because you weren't picked from a pastseason, kind of similar

0:22:11.280 --> 0:22:14.399
<v Speaker 1>to how Clayton was this season. Totally true. I have

0:22:14.520 --> 0:22:16.560
<v Speaker 1>no idea how I was picked, actually, and I think

0:22:16.560 --> 0:22:19.040
<v Speaker 1>because I was one of the first statuetors on the show. Like,

0:22:19.240 --> 0:22:20.840
<v Speaker 1>I think the show was still kind of trying to

0:22:20.840 --> 0:22:22.959
<v Speaker 1>figure itself out in a lot of different ways, if

0:22:22.960 --> 0:22:25.040
<v Speaker 1>that makes any sense at all. It was still reality

0:22:25.160 --> 0:22:27.199
<v Speaker 1>TV back then. This is going to date myself. Reality

0:22:27.200 --> 0:22:29.560
<v Speaker 1>TV back then was still a very new phenomenon, and

0:22:29.600 --> 0:22:31.639
<v Speaker 1>there was like Big Brother and all of a sudden,

0:22:31.680 --> 0:22:34.679
<v Speaker 1>The Bachelor and Survivor, Like these were shows that you know,

0:22:34.720 --> 0:22:37.840
<v Speaker 1>I just started kind of creeping up. And so I

0:22:37.880 --> 0:22:40.200
<v Speaker 1>think they wanted an athlete to do it. I'm sure

0:22:40.240 --> 0:22:43.000
<v Speaker 1>they probably interviewed a lot of different athletes in different sports,

0:22:43.000 --> 0:22:45.160
<v Speaker 1>and at the end they picked the Canadian guy who

0:22:45.280 --> 0:22:48.480
<v Speaker 1>was playing to football in New York, and so, like,

0:22:48.560 --> 0:22:51.320
<v Speaker 1>I had no idea what I was getting into. I

0:22:51.320 --> 0:22:54.480
<v Speaker 1>hadn't really watched the show before. I didn't totally get

0:22:54.520 --> 0:22:58.040
<v Speaker 1>what it was or understand it, except I wasn't a

0:22:58.119 --> 0:23:01.120
<v Speaker 1>point in my life that I did want to fall

0:23:01.160 --> 0:23:03.800
<v Speaker 1>in love and I did want to get married, And

0:23:03.880 --> 0:23:06.399
<v Speaker 1>when everything was explained to me, it just seemed like

0:23:06.440 --> 0:23:09.640
<v Speaker 1>obviously a totally unique concept that was at the time

0:23:10.000 --> 0:23:11.880
<v Speaker 1>so far out there it was. It wasn't a part

0:23:11.920 --> 0:23:15.040
<v Speaker 1>of mainstream culture yet like it is now. Um, So

0:23:15.119 --> 0:23:17.040
<v Speaker 1>it really was a leap of faith that I took.

0:23:17.680 --> 0:23:20.280
<v Speaker 1>Um And I feel like I was a guinea pig

0:23:20.800 --> 0:23:23.960
<v Speaker 1>in a lot of ways because I actually actually was

0:23:24.040 --> 0:23:26.879
<v Speaker 1>the first to do a lot of things. I was

0:23:26.920 --> 0:23:31.000
<v Speaker 1>the first bachelor ever to give a first impression rose. Actually, really,

0:23:31.280 --> 0:23:36.400
<v Speaker 1>you are to say the wrong name of a rose.

0:23:36.440 --> 0:23:41.320
<v Speaker 1>Ceremony started to bring this up, that is correct. There

0:23:41.359 --> 0:23:43.280
<v Speaker 1>were a lot of first on my season. Like I

0:23:43.320 --> 0:23:46.040
<v Speaker 1>remember they were like, Hey, so you're going to go

0:23:46.080 --> 0:23:48.280
<v Speaker 1>in and on the very first night and you're just

0:23:48.320 --> 0:23:50.959
<v Speaker 1>gonna like take this rose and just give it to somebody.

0:23:51.000 --> 0:23:53.320
<v Speaker 1>That made a really strong impression on you, and that's

0:23:53.320 --> 0:23:55.679
<v Speaker 1>the first impression roles and just just go for that.

0:23:55.800 --> 0:23:57.680
<v Speaker 1>And it was kind of like, oh okay, we were

0:23:57.720 --> 0:23:59.840
<v Speaker 1>kind of like figuring it out. And then just RNA's

0:23:59.840 --> 0:24:02.720
<v Speaker 1>point a few hours later, I was the first bash

0:24:02.800 --> 0:24:06.359
<v Speaker 1>or to ever I want to say, forget a girl's name,

0:24:06.680 --> 0:24:09.920
<v Speaker 1>but call out the wrong name at a Rose ceremony.

0:24:10.000 --> 0:24:13.760
<v Speaker 1>So how did that happen? Were you looking at the like,

0:24:13.840 --> 0:24:15.840
<v Speaker 1>were you looking at somebody and said the wrong name?

0:24:15.920 --> 0:24:18.359
<v Speaker 1>Or how did this all go down? Becca? It was

0:24:18.440 --> 0:24:20.639
<v Speaker 1>the worst. It was like, so this is this is

0:24:20.680 --> 0:24:25.239
<v Speaker 1>also like and you know, in full disclosure, like the

0:24:25.320 --> 0:24:27.320
<v Speaker 1>Rose ceremonies kind of go early into the night, even

0:24:27.320 --> 0:24:29.920
<v Speaker 1>back then, they would go early in the night. Everyone's tired,

0:24:29.960 --> 0:24:32.640
<v Speaker 1>everyone maybe have had set a cocktail or two. And

0:24:32.720 --> 0:24:36.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm sitting there and I forget, I forget how many

0:24:36.320 --> 0:24:38.000
<v Speaker 1>of the roses I was handing out. It might have

0:24:38.000 --> 0:24:40.359
<v Speaker 1>been like sixteen or maybe it was twenty, and I

0:24:40.440 --> 0:24:44.080
<v Speaker 1>decided I was just going to go for it. I

0:24:44.160 --> 0:24:46.400
<v Speaker 1>wasn't going to like do three names or four names

0:24:46.400 --> 0:24:47.879
<v Speaker 1>and then be like I'll bright back and I'm like

0:24:47.880 --> 0:24:51.400
<v Speaker 1>walk off set come back, and I'm like I'm going

0:24:51.440 --> 0:24:53.840
<v Speaker 1>to do this. I'm going to go sixteen for sixteen

0:24:53.880 --> 0:24:57.879
<v Speaker 1>and I'm going to just run the table. It was

0:24:59.560 --> 0:25:02.399
<v Speaker 1>so aggrest of and like, you know, if you're going

0:25:02.480 --> 0:25:05.840
<v Speaker 1>to you're gonna go big. You might go home, And

0:25:05.880 --> 0:25:07.800
<v Speaker 1>that's kind of what happened. I was just like I

0:25:07.880 --> 0:25:10.360
<v Speaker 1>was cruising, I was in a flow. I was just

0:25:10.400 --> 0:25:12.760
<v Speaker 1>like make an eye contact, like you know they tell

0:25:12.800 --> 0:25:14.520
<v Speaker 1>you to look down and then look down to the boom.

0:25:14.560 --> 0:25:16.879
<v Speaker 1>I was like locked in, there's the name. She walks

0:25:16.960 --> 0:25:19.440
<v Speaker 1>right towards me. We have the moment. It's great. And

0:25:19.480 --> 0:25:23.480
<v Speaker 1>then there was a girl, Karen, who I wanted to

0:25:23.520 --> 0:25:25.240
<v Speaker 1>give the rose to, and I knew. I knew exactly

0:25:25.240 --> 0:25:28.119
<v Speaker 1>who she was, anew what she was wearing. I remember

0:25:28.119 --> 0:25:30.439
<v Speaker 1>everything we had talked about, and I had a thousand

0:25:30.440 --> 0:25:35.720
<v Speaker 1>percent conviction that I was absolutely right. And I did

0:25:35.760 --> 0:25:37.800
<v Speaker 1>the thing where it's like you look down and then

0:25:37.840 --> 0:25:39.760
<v Speaker 1>PAULI or whoever kind of waves at you to like

0:25:39.800 --> 0:25:42.560
<v Speaker 1>give the rose, and I looked up. I'm looking right

0:25:42.560 --> 0:25:47.800
<v Speaker 1>at Karen, and I'm like Katie and row and behold,

0:25:48.440 --> 0:25:51.880
<v Speaker 1>I just from my peripheral vision see a woman walking

0:25:51.920 --> 0:25:54.760
<v Speaker 1>towards me. Of course, there was a Katie on my

0:25:54.880 --> 0:25:58.560
<v Speaker 1>season also who I wasn't going to give a rose

0:25:58.600 --> 0:26:01.359
<v Speaker 1>to the plan that it honestly was. I wasn't going

0:26:01.440 --> 0:26:03.199
<v Speaker 1>to give her one, and so she kind of like

0:26:03.440 --> 0:26:06.880
<v Speaker 1>it was like playing quarterback and getting like blind sides sacked.

0:26:06.960 --> 0:26:08.879
<v Speaker 1>It was especially like you're looking over here and then

0:26:08.920 --> 0:26:11.040
<v Speaker 1>like the guy comes and hits you. That was Katie.

0:26:11.280 --> 0:26:14.399
<v Speaker 1>That's basically what happened. So I learned a very valuable lesson.

0:26:14.800 --> 0:26:18.040
<v Speaker 1>And I would be lying if I told you tonight.

0:26:18.520 --> 0:26:23.000
<v Speaker 1>During Clayton's first row ceremony, I definitely was experiencing some

0:26:23.119 --> 0:26:28.840
<v Speaker 1>PTSD sort of imagine you're kind of in the back room,

0:26:28.920 --> 0:26:31.040
<v Speaker 1>You're like, oh god, I could tell him. I'm like,

0:26:31.040 --> 0:26:33.680
<v Speaker 1>come on, do it, Clayton, say the name. You've got it,

0:26:33.720 --> 0:26:40.199
<v Speaker 1>You've got it, and so oh lots of first I

0:26:40.320 --> 0:26:43.560
<v Speaker 1>get you so much credit for trying to go ball

0:26:43.640 --> 0:26:46.720
<v Speaker 1>to the walls all sixteen in a row, because I mean,

0:26:47.920 --> 0:26:50.480
<v Speaker 1>I the first night, because I remember being like it's

0:26:50.480 --> 0:26:54.080
<v Speaker 1>so overwhelming. There's so many different men names, things happening,

0:26:54.160 --> 0:26:57.879
<v Speaker 1>like there's no way I would have remembered everyone's name, Like,

0:26:57.920 --> 0:27:00.119
<v Speaker 1>there's just no way, because I blacked out. I was

0:27:00.200 --> 0:27:03.359
<v Speaker 1>so nervous so for you to just say effort, I'm

0:27:03.400 --> 0:27:05.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna do it. I give you, I give you props.

0:27:06.480 --> 0:27:10.439
<v Speaker 1>One more thing that was a first on your season

0:27:10.640 --> 0:27:13.239
<v Speaker 1>was you were the first to send someone home and

0:27:13.280 --> 0:27:17.960
<v Speaker 1>then have them come back. There was there was a

0:27:18.000 --> 0:27:20.399
<v Speaker 1>lot going on. There was there was women who went home.

0:27:21.240 --> 0:27:23.959
<v Speaker 1>I had a spy also on my show. A lot

0:27:24.000 --> 0:27:27.960
<v Speaker 1>of people forget that one of the women that no

0:27:28.520 --> 0:27:33.040
<v Speaker 1>tell us before I got to watch your season. I

0:27:33.760 --> 0:27:35.840
<v Speaker 1>don't think it's stripping on Hulu yet, thank god. But

0:27:38.240 --> 0:27:42.159
<v Speaker 1>my best friend's wife closing as one of the women,

0:27:42.880 --> 0:27:45.560
<v Speaker 1>and she was living in the house and she was

0:27:45.600 --> 0:27:48.280
<v Speaker 1>getting all the dirt in the scoop for me, and

0:27:48.320 --> 0:27:50.960
<v Speaker 1>so you know, for me, like I went in, I'm like, okay,

0:27:50.960 --> 0:27:53.399
<v Speaker 1>if I'm going to do this, like I want to

0:27:53.440 --> 0:27:55.760
<v Speaker 1>make sure. That was my way of trying to have

0:27:55.840 --> 0:27:58.280
<v Speaker 1>as much control as I could. How can I find

0:27:58.320 --> 0:28:00.920
<v Speaker 1>a way to make sure these women are here for

0:28:00.960 --> 0:28:04.320
<v Speaker 1>the right reasons are they're playing? And so her name

0:28:04.359 --> 0:28:07.760
<v Speaker 1>was Jenny, and Jenny is the biggest sweetheart. She was

0:28:08.119 --> 0:28:10.639
<v Speaker 1>so brave to do it. And I say brave because

0:28:11.640 --> 0:28:14.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't think Jenny realized like she started becoming friends

0:28:14.560 --> 0:28:17.879
<v Speaker 1>with everyone obviously, and she started developing relationships and there

0:28:17.920 --> 0:28:20.639
<v Speaker 1>was a trust factor there, and there was a moment

0:28:20.760 --> 0:28:23.359
<v Speaker 1>like we kind of kept Jenny around, kept giving a roses,

0:28:23.440 --> 0:28:25.119
<v Speaker 1>kept kept her around, and then it got to a

0:28:25.119 --> 0:28:27.040
<v Speaker 1>point woman, I felt like I had a pretty good handle.

0:28:27.200 --> 0:28:29.240
<v Speaker 1>We finally sent Jenny home, but of course that meant

0:28:29.320 --> 0:28:34.119
<v Speaker 1>Jenny had to come clean right in the house before

0:28:34.160 --> 0:28:38.720
<v Speaker 1>she left. This feels like a movie plot. Show me

0:28:38.800 --> 0:28:41.360
<v Speaker 1>how to this. I mean, where's Jenny today? You mean

0:28:41.480 --> 0:28:45.760
<v Speaker 1>she's still? ABC released the footage. We need to see

0:28:45.800 --> 0:28:49.360
<v Speaker 1>all of Jesse's season. This is good. She was. She

0:28:49.480 --> 0:28:51.560
<v Speaker 1>was such a champion and she she did it for

0:28:51.680 --> 0:28:56.719
<v Speaker 1>me forever indebted to Jenny. Jenny's Jenny's like the best today,

0:28:56.800 --> 0:29:00.360
<v Speaker 1>She's she's obviously, she's married to my best buddy, got

0:29:00.840 --> 0:29:04.800
<v Speaker 1>got five beautiful kids, like they're just She's the best.

0:29:04.880 --> 0:29:06.560
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, it was like another thing, like when I

0:29:06.560 --> 0:29:08.760
<v Speaker 1>think back to it, I'm like, we were just you know,

0:29:09.160 --> 0:29:10.960
<v Speaker 1>there were so many different elements to the show, and

0:29:10.960 --> 0:29:14.200
<v Speaker 1>everything was always changing, and like you guy said, like

0:29:14.400 --> 0:29:17.560
<v Speaker 1>the show, the core concept in the principle of it

0:29:17.600 --> 0:29:19.560
<v Speaker 1>is the exact same basically from when I did it.

0:29:19.600 --> 0:29:21.640
<v Speaker 1>Tobecca when you did it to what Clayton's doing. The

0:29:21.640 --> 0:29:24.720
<v Speaker 1>houses are bigger, the budgets bigger, and your destinations like

0:29:24.880 --> 0:29:27.040
<v Speaker 1>I didn't get to travel to all the amazing places

0:29:27.160 --> 0:29:29.160
<v Speaker 1>you guys got to complaint. I think we went to

0:29:29.240 --> 0:29:35.560
<v Speaker 1>like my overnight dates were Washington, DC, Quebec City, and

0:29:35.800 --> 0:29:37.240
<v Speaker 1>like we did go to the Bahamas and we go

0:29:37.360 --> 0:29:38.960
<v Speaker 1>to the Caribbean for one of them. So that was

0:29:39.000 --> 0:29:41.480
<v Speaker 1>that was odd. At least you could travel. Poor Serena

0:29:41.640 --> 0:29:44.080
<v Speaker 1>was stuck in the same resort for two months. Yeah,

0:29:44.120 --> 0:29:46.760
<v Speaker 1>I was anemical and for two months that place will

0:29:46.800 --> 0:29:50.320
<v Speaker 1>always all special place in my heart. But Jesse, it

0:29:50.360 --> 0:29:53.000
<v Speaker 1>sounds like you had tons of amazing advice to pass

0:29:53.000 --> 0:29:54.880
<v Speaker 1>along to Clayton. I mean, make sure you say the

0:29:54.960 --> 0:29:58.200
<v Speaker 1>right name, don't go for all sixteen at once, get

0:29:58.240 --> 0:30:01.320
<v Speaker 1>yourself a spy. I mean, was there anything else that

0:30:01.360 --> 0:30:04.920
<v Speaker 1>you passed along to him that you know, future leads

0:30:05.000 --> 0:30:07.600
<v Speaker 1>might want to know, you know, I think for me,

0:30:07.800 --> 0:30:09.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, obviously it was it was the obvious stuff

0:30:09.800 --> 0:30:13.000
<v Speaker 1>to hey, be yourself, be vulnerable, you know, do all

0:30:13.040 --> 0:30:15.680
<v Speaker 1>those things. But there was one thing that I did

0:30:15.680 --> 0:30:18.560
<v Speaker 1>try to tell them at the beginning, and that was

0:30:18.840 --> 0:30:22.000
<v Speaker 1>to not be lazy. And what I mean by that is,

0:30:22.040 --> 0:30:24.360
<v Speaker 1>I think for because I was the bachelor and sort

0:30:24.360 --> 0:30:27.080
<v Speaker 1>of so having kind of lived it, I think sometimes

0:30:27.320 --> 0:30:30.400
<v Speaker 1>as as the lead, you can sort of rest on

0:30:30.440 --> 0:30:32.400
<v Speaker 1>your laurels a little bit. And what I mean by

0:30:32.440 --> 0:30:35.400
<v Speaker 1>that is, you're kind of like, I'm the bachelor, I'm

0:30:35.400 --> 0:30:38.320
<v Speaker 1>the man. All these women are going to have to

0:30:38.320 --> 0:30:39.880
<v Speaker 1>come over here and grab me and talk to me.

0:30:39.920 --> 0:30:42.280
<v Speaker 1>They're going to have to come chase me and earn

0:30:42.360 --> 0:30:45.320
<v Speaker 1>my love for them too. And what I was really

0:30:45.320 --> 0:30:49.760
<v Speaker 1>sort of encouraging to do was to be aggressive, to

0:30:49.800 --> 0:30:54.000
<v Speaker 1>get out and really sort of you know, show show interest,

0:30:54.680 --> 0:30:58.080
<v Speaker 1>because just because you're the bachelor, it does not guarantee

0:30:58.520 --> 0:31:00.880
<v Speaker 1>that anybody needs to follow love with you or will

0:31:00.920 --> 0:31:02.960
<v Speaker 1>fall in love with you. You have to show your

0:31:03.000 --> 0:31:05.040
<v Speaker 1>best self and you really have to make bad effort.

0:31:05.080 --> 0:31:07.240
<v Speaker 1>You really have to step out of your comfort zone

0:31:07.240 --> 0:31:09.840
<v Speaker 1>and do that. Maybe you have to remember, you know,

0:31:10.640 --> 0:31:13.360
<v Speaker 1>these women, a lot of them had never even seen

0:31:13.440 --> 0:31:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Clayton until they got out of the limousine his season

0:31:16.240 --> 0:31:20.960
<v Speaker 1>on Michelle's season that didn't air until after we started

0:31:21.040 --> 0:31:24.240
<v Speaker 1>actually filming, and our season was essentially wrapped, so more

0:31:24.280 --> 0:31:26.360
<v Speaker 1>than ever, you know, It's not like these women had

0:31:26.400 --> 0:31:29.040
<v Speaker 1>seen him on Michelle Michelle season and kind of knew

0:31:29.040 --> 0:31:31.240
<v Speaker 1>all about him. They maybe seen a picture of him

0:31:31.280 --> 0:31:34.520
<v Speaker 1>or something, But like, there's a lot of very authentic

0:31:34.880 --> 0:31:37.760
<v Speaker 1>and real moments tonight when people get out of the limo,

0:31:37.840 --> 0:31:40.160
<v Speaker 1>there's a connection right away, or there's not, and it's

0:31:40.240 --> 0:31:43.520
<v Speaker 1>genuine because they just haven't seen him. So my biggest

0:31:43.520 --> 0:31:47.600
<v Speaker 1>advice to him was, Hey, don't be lazy, you know,

0:31:48.240 --> 0:31:53.040
<v Speaker 1>really try to to be to to show your best

0:31:53.040 --> 0:31:56.440
<v Speaker 1>self and really put your best foot forward in this.

0:31:56.680 --> 0:31:58.960
<v Speaker 1>You have to make an effort. It's I think, so

0:31:58.960 --> 0:32:01.440
<v Speaker 1>so important. I think something Clayton has a really good

0:32:01.520 --> 0:32:04.480
<v Speaker 1>job of doing. I want to ask you this because

0:32:04.520 --> 0:32:08.080
<v Speaker 1>now just going through everything and you bring up Michelle's season,

0:32:09.200 --> 0:32:12.440
<v Speaker 1>he didn't make it to the final weeks. Obviously, he

0:32:12.480 --> 0:32:14.840
<v Speaker 1>didn't go to hometowns, he didn't do the overnights, he

0:32:14.880 --> 0:32:18.600
<v Speaker 1>didn't do the meet the families, so he really, you know,

0:32:18.760 --> 0:32:21.840
<v Speaker 1>only made it so far in Michelle's season and had

0:32:21.880 --> 0:32:24.360
<v Speaker 1>no idea what to expect. So do you feel like,

0:32:25.400 --> 0:32:28.160
<v Speaker 1>obviously we saw you there for him night one, and

0:32:28.240 --> 0:32:30.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure you know, as typical host, you're in and

0:32:30.720 --> 0:32:34.040
<v Speaker 1>out and kind of leading the way for him week

0:32:34.080 --> 0:32:37.200
<v Speaker 1>by week. But did you feel like you stepped in

0:32:37.320 --> 0:32:39.840
<v Speaker 1>a bit more for him than we've seen it in

0:32:39.880 --> 0:32:43.680
<v Speaker 1>the past because he didn't know what to expect in

0:32:43.720 --> 0:32:47.280
<v Speaker 1>those big moments, especially when he comes down to the wire. Yeah,

0:32:47.440 --> 0:32:49.800
<v Speaker 1>a great question. You know, it's funny. Part of I

0:32:49.840 --> 0:32:52.800
<v Speaker 1>think the charm, at least for me, for Clayton is

0:32:52.840 --> 0:32:56.360
<v Speaker 1>that he's sort of naive to everything, but it's it's

0:32:56.400 --> 0:32:59.320
<v Speaker 1>authentic and it comes from a good place. Clayton never

0:32:59.320 --> 0:33:02.120
<v Speaker 1>watched the show before he went on Michelle's season, so

0:33:02.160 --> 0:33:03.880
<v Speaker 1>a lot of this you've got to kind of remind

0:33:03.880 --> 0:33:06.360
<v Speaker 1>yourself that a lot of this is still very very

0:33:06.360 --> 0:33:09.680
<v Speaker 1>new for him. So to your point, there are moments

0:33:10.280 --> 0:33:12.960
<v Speaker 1>tonight where you know, I kind of I do have

0:33:13.000 --> 0:33:15.719
<v Speaker 1>to step in and just sort of remind him, Okay,

0:33:15.760 --> 0:33:18.920
<v Speaker 1>here's here's where we are, this is what's happening, here's

0:33:18.960 --> 0:33:21.240
<v Speaker 1>the first impression, Rose, this is what this is all about,

0:33:21.440 --> 0:33:23.280
<v Speaker 1>this is this is how this works and how it's

0:33:23.640 --> 0:33:27.040
<v Speaker 1>going to go. Um. But you know what's really amazing

0:33:27.360 --> 0:33:31.440
<v Speaker 1>is that because Clayton hadn't really watched the show so much,

0:33:31.960 --> 0:33:35.800
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't totally get the rhythm and the flow in

0:33:35.840 --> 0:33:37.560
<v Speaker 1>the eve and the flow. So I think one of

0:33:37.560 --> 0:33:39.760
<v Speaker 1>the most exciting things about this season, I think that

0:33:39.760 --> 0:33:41.600
<v Speaker 1>that Bachelor fans of viewers at all our guest site,

0:33:42.120 --> 0:33:44.880
<v Speaker 1>there are there really are a lot of firsts. I know,

0:33:44.920 --> 0:33:46.400
<v Speaker 1>when we all watch the show in our in our

0:33:46.440 --> 0:33:50.320
<v Speaker 1>individual seasons, there's you know, it can seem sometimes formulaic,

0:33:50.880 --> 0:33:54.040
<v Speaker 1>and there's different beats. The show takes episode to episode,

0:33:54.080 --> 0:33:56.120
<v Speaker 1>and people at home sort of expect, all right, we

0:33:56.280 --> 0:33:58.320
<v Speaker 1>go from this number to this number, and now they're

0:33:58.320 --> 0:34:01.000
<v Speaker 1>going to go travel and the overnight are coming in hometowns,

0:34:01.000 --> 0:34:04.120
<v Speaker 1>et cetera, et cetera. Um, you know, there's kind of

0:34:04.120 --> 0:34:09.680
<v Speaker 1>this quote unquote unofficial rule book. Clayton is not afraid

0:34:09.719 --> 0:34:15.200
<v Speaker 1>to break rules to find love. And one thing I

0:34:15.320 --> 0:34:17.640
<v Speaker 1>kind of I am constantly reminding him of throughout the

0:34:17.640 --> 0:34:22.120
<v Speaker 1>season is that, really, on the Bachelor, there are no rules, right,

0:34:22.239 --> 0:34:23.680
<v Speaker 1>you can kind of you can kind of do what

0:34:23.719 --> 0:34:26.040
<v Speaker 1>you want in order in order to get to where

0:34:26.080 --> 0:34:29.319
<v Speaker 1>you want to go. Clayton puts so much pressure on

0:34:29.400 --> 0:34:33.880
<v Speaker 1>himself to find love and to get married and to

0:34:34.000 --> 0:34:37.240
<v Speaker 1>have kids. He realizes, like the severity of the moment,

0:34:37.280 --> 0:34:40.279
<v Speaker 1>for lack of a better better term, and Clayton is

0:34:40.320 --> 0:34:45.359
<v Speaker 1>willing to do anything to get there, and I think

0:34:45.440 --> 0:34:46.960
<v Speaker 1>viewers are going to see that. Yeah. I love that

0:34:47.000 --> 0:34:50.120
<v Speaker 1>you mentioned throwing away the rule book or the so

0:34:50.239 --> 0:34:54.319
<v Speaker 1>called playbook with Clayton being somewhat of you know, he's

0:34:54.360 --> 0:34:57.600
<v Speaker 1>a new bachelor, but he wasn't on for an extensive

0:34:57.600 --> 0:35:00.400
<v Speaker 1>amount of time on Michelle season. But I think we

0:35:00.440 --> 0:35:02.279
<v Speaker 1>really saw that in the first episode last night, and

0:35:02.280 --> 0:35:04.719
<v Speaker 1>I think it was really interesting because you know, he

0:35:04.760 --> 0:35:07.319
<v Speaker 1>went to hand out a rose before the night even

0:35:07.360 --> 0:35:11.000
<v Speaker 1>started and then he sent home Claire right away. Is

0:35:11.040 --> 0:35:13.759
<v Speaker 1>there a favorite moment from that first episode where you

0:35:13.800 --> 0:35:16.479
<v Speaker 1>were like, wow, Like, I love this moment. It really

0:35:16.480 --> 0:35:19.160
<v Speaker 1>shows off Clayton and how great of a bachelor he's

0:35:19.200 --> 0:35:21.359
<v Speaker 1>going to because I think you can really feel right

0:35:21.360 --> 0:35:24.040
<v Speaker 1>out of the gate that he wants love and he

0:35:24.080 --> 0:35:26.839
<v Speaker 1>wants children and he is looking for that, and like

0:35:26.840 --> 0:35:29.759
<v Speaker 1>you said, he's willing to do what he's got to do,

0:35:29.960 --> 0:35:32.920
<v Speaker 1>even if that's not the norm for the bachelor to

0:35:33.000 --> 0:35:36.200
<v Speaker 1>find his person. Yeah, it's like, and you're so true.

0:35:36.360 --> 0:35:38.400
<v Speaker 1>It was probably right at the beginning. I think you know,

0:35:38.440 --> 0:35:41.080
<v Speaker 1>we were all sort of reminded of watching him get

0:35:41.120 --> 0:35:45.120
<v Speaker 1>sent home for Michelsea's and when he got really emotional

0:35:45.600 --> 0:35:47.640
<v Speaker 1>reading the letter that the kids had written for him,

0:35:47.880 --> 0:35:49.480
<v Speaker 1>and you get to see it on his face, like

0:35:49.520 --> 0:35:51.719
<v Speaker 1>he wears his emotions pretty hard, and you get to

0:35:51.760 --> 0:35:55.000
<v Speaker 1>see from him how badly he wants it. And right

0:35:55.040 --> 0:35:58.719
<v Speaker 1>out of the gate in the first episode, Sally comes

0:35:58.760 --> 0:36:01.279
<v Speaker 1>to his door at the hotel and she sort of

0:36:01.360 --> 0:36:03.440
<v Speaker 1>delivers the news that she was supposed to get married

0:36:03.480 --> 0:36:06.960
<v Speaker 1>on that night and her she's her heart is sort

0:36:06.960 --> 0:36:09.080
<v Speaker 1>of being torn and she doesn't know what to do,

0:36:09.600 --> 0:36:13.200
<v Speaker 1>and Clayton's very receptive to it, but you know, Clayton

0:36:13.320 --> 0:36:15.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of goes for it. He sort of excuses himself

0:36:15.440 --> 0:36:17.279
<v Speaker 1>from the table. He goes and gets a rose. I

0:36:17.280 --> 0:36:18.680
<v Speaker 1>don't know where he got the rose from. He just

0:36:18.680 --> 0:36:22.359
<v Speaker 1>goes and gets a rose, brings it. He's like, oh,

0:36:22.480 --> 0:36:26.440
<v Speaker 1>down that outside and brings it back in and presents

0:36:26.520 --> 0:36:29.399
<v Speaker 1>the road, offers a rose to her before anybody's even

0:36:29.440 --> 0:36:33.600
<v Speaker 1>been to the mansion, Clayton included. So I think that

0:36:33.680 --> 0:36:35.360
<v Speaker 1>just goes to kind of show you sort of the

0:36:35.400 --> 0:36:38.480
<v Speaker 1>cajones Clayton has, like he's not he's not afraid to

0:36:38.560 --> 0:36:43.120
<v Speaker 1>kind of take risks, fully understanding that he could very

0:36:43.160 --> 0:36:45.000
<v Speaker 1>well get rejected, And I got to be honest in

0:36:45.080 --> 0:36:47.359
<v Speaker 1>that moment watching it lot, I totally thought she would

0:36:47.360 --> 0:36:49.600
<v Speaker 1>accept it. Like, I thought that was such a it

0:36:49.719 --> 0:36:52.760
<v Speaker 1>was such a chivalrous move, if you will, from Clayton

0:36:53.080 --> 0:36:55.680
<v Speaker 1>with really good intentions, Like I think that came across

0:36:55.880 --> 0:36:57.880
<v Speaker 1>right away. So I'd say, for me, I think you

0:36:57.960 --> 0:37:00.560
<v Speaker 1>got to see a lot about who Clayton is in

0:37:00.600 --> 0:37:04.160
<v Speaker 1>that moment of the show. I want to ask you this,

0:37:04.520 --> 0:37:07.160
<v Speaker 1>You got to know Clayn on a whole new level.

0:37:07.200 --> 0:37:09.359
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you went through this entire season with him,

0:37:09.360 --> 0:37:13.279
<v Speaker 1>which is it really bonds people and Serena and I

0:37:13.320 --> 0:37:15.360
<v Speaker 1>have been lucky enough to spend some time with Clayton

0:37:15.480 --> 0:37:18.080
<v Speaker 1>outside of the show, just to catch up see how

0:37:18.080 --> 0:37:22.080
<v Speaker 1>he's doing. And one thing that he has mentioned and

0:37:22.120 --> 0:37:24.000
<v Speaker 1>I hope I don't think he would mind me saying this,

0:37:24.120 --> 0:37:28.120
<v Speaker 1>is he really struggles when there's not structure. When there's

0:37:28.160 --> 0:37:30.799
<v Speaker 1>not you know, he's not in control and being the

0:37:30.880 --> 0:37:34.800
<v Speaker 1>lead of the show, you truly have no control over anything.

0:37:34.840 --> 0:37:37.280
<v Speaker 1>You don't plan your schedule, you don't plan the dates.

0:37:37.320 --> 0:37:39.920
<v Speaker 1>You just kind of have to go with the flow,

0:37:39.960 --> 0:37:41.560
<v Speaker 1>and you're at the whims of the show and the

0:37:41.600 --> 0:37:44.880
<v Speaker 1>women and everything that happens. So do you feel like,

0:37:45.680 --> 0:37:49.120
<v Speaker 1>you know night one aside, because that's it's whole own

0:37:49.400 --> 0:37:53.000
<v Speaker 1>chaotic evening throughout the season, did you feel like there

0:37:53.040 --> 0:37:55.399
<v Speaker 1>was a time where he kindly where he was kind

0:37:55.440 --> 0:37:59.359
<v Speaker 1>of able to shed that lack of control and just

0:37:59.440 --> 0:38:01.440
<v Speaker 1>kind of throw his arms up and say, you know,

0:38:01.480 --> 0:38:02.759
<v Speaker 1>what will be, will be, and I'm just going to

0:38:02.880 --> 0:38:05.440
<v Speaker 1>go with this where he could finally really enjoy and

0:38:05.480 --> 0:38:08.920
<v Speaker 1>embrace what he was doing. Definitely, and I think you

0:38:09.000 --> 0:38:10.759
<v Speaker 1>hit it right on the head first off. For all

0:38:10.760 --> 0:38:13.680
<v Speaker 1>those former football players, like we are creatures of habit

0:38:13.960 --> 0:38:16.560
<v Speaker 1>for sure. We're used to waking up at a certain hour,

0:38:16.840 --> 0:38:19.000
<v Speaker 1>working out at a certain hour. We know exactly what

0:38:19.000 --> 0:38:21.560
<v Speaker 1>we're going to eat pregame, we know what happens for

0:38:21.640 --> 0:38:24.200
<v Speaker 1>the national anthem before the game, where you stand, you

0:38:24.280 --> 0:38:26.600
<v Speaker 1>play the game, you go home, you do your media,

0:38:26.640 --> 0:38:30.520
<v Speaker 1>and you just repeat every single week. So for Clayton

0:38:30.719 --> 0:38:34.600
<v Speaker 1>and his whole background, this was very unique to your point,

0:38:34.760 --> 0:38:37.880
<v Speaker 1>and it was very difficult for him, I think early on,

0:38:38.000 --> 0:38:40.720
<v Speaker 1>just like it was for myself and maybe for you too.

0:38:41.360 --> 0:38:46.000
<v Speaker 1>During your experience. You definitely do see as the season progresses,

0:38:46.120 --> 0:38:49.560
<v Speaker 1>Clayton kind of starts to get a handle of it.

0:38:49.760 --> 0:38:52.520
<v Speaker 1>And again, you know, from never having watched the show

0:38:52.640 --> 0:38:55.680
<v Speaker 1>very much at the beginning, so much of it is

0:38:55.760 --> 0:38:59.239
<v Speaker 1>new and fresh, and the situation's group dates. I mean,

0:38:59.239 --> 0:39:00.799
<v Speaker 1>he's literally got a head on his swol. When he

0:39:00.840 --> 0:39:02.479
<v Speaker 1>was looking around, he doesn't know which ways of which,

0:39:02.640 --> 0:39:06.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, like like all of us did. He definitely

0:39:06.120 --> 0:39:07.920
<v Speaker 1>starts to kind of get a grasp in a handle,

0:39:07.920 --> 0:39:11.600
<v Speaker 1>and you can really sort of see the confidence and

0:39:11.640 --> 0:39:13.839
<v Speaker 1>you can see kind of his personality I think, really

0:39:13.880 --> 0:39:17.799
<v Speaker 1>sort of shine in those moments when he starts to

0:39:17.840 --> 0:39:19.680
<v Speaker 1>sort of figure it out. Because you're right, I don't

0:39:19.719 --> 0:39:22.160
<v Speaker 1>think anybody's ever just walked into that mansion night one

0:39:22.200 --> 0:39:24.000
<v Speaker 1>and been like, I know exactly what I'm doing. This

0:39:24.120 --> 0:39:27.239
<v Speaker 1>is a walking apart thirty women, let's go. It's like

0:39:27.320 --> 0:39:30.800
<v Speaker 1>he you know, it was it was quite being honest

0:39:30.880 --> 0:39:33.279
<v Speaker 1>as a host, like I was kind of feeling the

0:39:33.360 --> 0:39:35.480
<v Speaker 1>same thing too. I've never hosted the show, I'd never

0:39:35.560 --> 0:39:37.520
<v Speaker 1>been in the mansion, so really, like you know, we

0:39:37.600 --> 0:39:39.720
<v Speaker 1>talk about it outside the house on that first episode,

0:39:39.719 --> 0:39:42.040
<v Speaker 1>we're both really nervous going into it. We're both we're

0:39:42.040 --> 0:39:43.879
<v Speaker 1>both kind of figuring it out. So it was nice.

0:39:44.000 --> 0:39:45.920
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't just nice for him to have me, it

0:39:45.960 --> 0:39:47.920
<v Speaker 1>was nice for me to have him too, because we

0:39:48.200 --> 0:39:50.960
<v Speaker 1>did have a lot of discussion and conversations about like this,

0:39:51.680 --> 0:39:55.360
<v Speaker 1>this is crazy, like this is unbelievable, this is wild,

0:39:55.400 --> 0:39:56.719
<v Speaker 1>and we're just you know, as we're kind of going

0:39:56.719 --> 0:39:58.239
<v Speaker 1>through it and trying to help each other. So it

0:39:58.320 --> 0:40:01.360
<v Speaker 1>was that that was definitely unique, very nice. Yeah, I

0:40:01.400 --> 0:40:04.799
<v Speaker 1>don't think anyone. Yeah, I don't think anyone can walk

0:40:04.840 --> 0:40:07.440
<v Speaker 1>into any role on this show and feel like they

0:40:07.480 --> 0:40:10.360
<v Speaker 1>know exactly what's going on. I mean, it is so unique.

0:40:10.400 --> 0:40:13.719
<v Speaker 1>It is so just different than anything. So I think

0:40:13.760 --> 0:40:15.960
<v Speaker 1>you guys being able to kind of support each other

0:40:16.040 --> 0:40:18.360
<v Speaker 1>through it, and especially with you having the experience, was

0:40:18.400 --> 0:40:21.520
<v Speaker 1>probably a definitely a bonding moment. But I know when

0:40:21.560 --> 0:40:24.719
<v Speaker 1>I met Clayton, what surprised me about him was he

0:40:24.840 --> 0:40:27.920
<v Speaker 1>so comfortable in his own skin. So as much as

0:40:28.000 --> 0:40:30.360
<v Speaker 1>like I'm sure the chaos kind of threw him for

0:40:30.400 --> 0:40:32.879
<v Speaker 1>a loop, he seems like someone who really knows who

0:40:32.920 --> 0:40:36.640
<v Speaker 1>he is and is that's going to come across and

0:40:36.680 --> 0:40:38.040
<v Speaker 1>I feel like he's going to rest in that. Was

0:40:38.040 --> 0:40:40.880
<v Speaker 1>there anything about Clayton meeting him? Because I didn't you know,

0:40:41.040 --> 0:40:44.000
<v Speaker 1>if you watched michelseason, there wasn't much to go off of,

0:40:44.200 --> 0:40:46.120
<v Speaker 1>but meeting him, was there anything that you're like, wow,

0:40:46.160 --> 0:40:48.160
<v Speaker 1>like this really surprises me about this guy, and I

0:40:48.200 --> 0:40:50.359
<v Speaker 1>think it's going to make him a really good bachelor. Yeah.

0:40:50.400 --> 0:40:52.759
<v Speaker 1>One of the things I really appreciate about Clayton is

0:40:52.800 --> 0:40:55.000
<v Speaker 1>that if he needs help, he's not afraid to ask

0:40:55.040 --> 0:40:58.200
<v Speaker 1>for it, which for a guy, especially a former football player,

0:40:58.719 --> 0:41:02.000
<v Speaker 1>that's kind of unique, Like we're always sort of taught

0:41:02.040 --> 0:41:03.480
<v Speaker 1>to kind of just figure it out on your own

0:41:03.480 --> 0:41:05.960
<v Speaker 1>and just be alpha, like figure this out. You know,

0:41:06.080 --> 0:41:09.600
<v Speaker 1>Clayton had a lot of questions coming into this and

0:41:09.719 --> 0:41:13.440
<v Speaker 1>he didn't always have the answers and didn't know And

0:41:14.200 --> 0:41:16.160
<v Speaker 1>one of the things as a host that I really

0:41:16.160 --> 0:41:19.520
<v Speaker 1>wanted to be careful with with him is, first off,

0:41:19.640 --> 0:41:22.560
<v Speaker 1>it's not about me or my experiences, and I didn't

0:41:22.560 --> 0:41:25.080
<v Speaker 1>want to be the host that was like, well on

0:41:25.160 --> 0:41:29.040
<v Speaker 1>my season I said this, or on my season I

0:41:29.080 --> 0:41:32.040
<v Speaker 1>would do this if that ever happened. I told him

0:41:32.120 --> 0:41:35.160
<v Speaker 1>right from the get go, Hey, if you have questions,

0:41:35.560 --> 0:41:37.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm happy to try to help you out, but I'm

0:41:37.560 --> 0:41:40.440
<v Speaker 1>not going to just always kind of be around you.

0:41:40.440 --> 0:41:42.799
<v Speaker 1>You know, a lot of it, and kind of Tebecca's point,

0:41:43.960 --> 0:41:45.920
<v Speaker 1>part of the magic of this is you kind of

0:41:45.960 --> 0:41:48.000
<v Speaker 1>have to figure it out for yourself, and then that

0:41:48.080 --> 0:41:50.680
<v Speaker 1>really is the best, I think advice, because all of

0:41:50.680 --> 0:41:54.200
<v Speaker 1>our journeys are so different. I mean, his season isn't

0:41:54.200 --> 0:41:57.719
<v Speaker 1>going to resemble mine at all, or Peter's, or Colton's

0:41:58.280 --> 0:42:01.840
<v Speaker 1>or Matt's, Serena, yours, Becca, yours, nobody. I mean, we

0:42:01.920 --> 0:42:03.759
<v Speaker 1>all have our own path that we're going to take.

0:42:03.800 --> 0:42:06.919
<v Speaker 1>We're all different and unique people. So I really thought

0:42:06.960 --> 0:42:09.560
<v Speaker 1>it was it was wholesome. I thought it was really

0:42:09.640 --> 0:42:13.919
<v Speaker 1>refreshing to find out Clayton had no problem at any

0:42:13.960 --> 0:42:18.080
<v Speaker 1>point pulling me aside and being like, Hey, I don't

0:42:18.080 --> 0:42:21.480
<v Speaker 1>know what to do. Has this ever happened? Can I

0:42:21.520 --> 0:42:23.920
<v Speaker 1>do this? You know? What do you think about this?

0:42:24.719 --> 0:42:26.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, I know it's not easy, especially for a

0:42:26.920 --> 0:42:29.279
<v Speaker 1>lot of men today to do that, and certainly one

0:42:29.520 --> 0:42:31.880
<v Speaker 1>in that role because you're the bachelor, You're supposed to

0:42:31.920 --> 0:42:34.800
<v Speaker 1>have all the answers, you're the guy, and he's really

0:42:34.960 --> 0:42:38.560
<v Speaker 1>he's very sincere and very sweet that way, and I

0:42:38.600 --> 0:42:40.880
<v Speaker 1>thought that was That was probably the thing Serena that

0:42:41.640 --> 0:42:44.440
<v Speaker 1>caught me off guard, but probably the thing I was

0:42:44.480 --> 0:42:48.319
<v Speaker 1>the most impressed about as well. That's great. Yeah, to

0:42:48.360 --> 0:42:51.319
<v Speaker 1>your point too. I mean there's only so much you

0:42:51.320 --> 0:42:53.480
<v Speaker 1>can see and get to know from somebody through the

0:42:53.520 --> 0:42:56.359
<v Speaker 1>TV screen, but just spending time with him, he genuinely

0:42:56.640 --> 0:43:01.080
<v Speaker 1>is just a good kind man. Like he is a

0:43:01.239 --> 0:43:04.600
<v Speaker 1>very very kind soul, and that's something that I'm sure

0:43:04.719 --> 0:43:07.560
<v Speaker 1>we'll come across and viewers will get to know more.

0:43:07.600 --> 0:43:10.200
<v Speaker 1>But he's a good guy just looking for love and

0:43:10.400 --> 0:43:13.880
<v Speaker 1>it's um, it's very endearing. I would say, even just

0:43:13.920 --> 0:43:17.200
<v Speaker 1>watching Night one and you two together, it's endearing to

0:43:17.239 --> 0:43:19.879
<v Speaker 1>see him not quite know what to do or how

0:43:19.920 --> 0:43:22.400
<v Speaker 1>this is going to be, or what this entire journey

0:43:22.440 --> 0:43:24.719
<v Speaker 1>will look like, but to just go with it. So

0:43:24.800 --> 0:43:28.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited to see both of you along the way.

0:43:29.400 --> 0:43:33.760
<v Speaker 1>One last question before we play a game, and that

0:43:33.960 --> 0:43:36.640
<v Speaker 1>is we know that there's so much to come, and

0:43:36.680 --> 0:43:39.240
<v Speaker 1>we also know that there's a lot you cannot give away.

0:43:39.760 --> 0:43:44.080
<v Speaker 1>So if you could give us three adjectives to describe

0:43:44.440 --> 0:43:47.520
<v Speaker 1>Clayton's season so far or I just guess of what

0:43:47.600 --> 0:43:52.760
<v Speaker 1>will be? What would what would those three words be? Wow?

0:43:53.160 --> 0:44:00.880
<v Speaker 1>Three great adjectives. I would say. First, I would say mama,

0:44:01.040 --> 0:44:05.799
<v Speaker 1>and I would say love or journey, And I know

0:44:05.840 --> 0:44:08.239
<v Speaker 1>those are sort of like taglines for this franchise and

0:44:08.280 --> 0:44:12.960
<v Speaker 1>the show, But Clayton's story really is a beautiful story

0:44:13.600 --> 0:44:17.800
<v Speaker 1>of love and it's it's not the path that everybody

0:44:18.239 --> 0:44:21.600
<v Speaker 1>might expect when they turn on the Batchelor episode one.

0:44:21.920 --> 0:44:25.600
<v Speaker 1>This sort of takes a very very different you know,

0:44:25.600 --> 0:44:27.839
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of things that happened that it kind

0:44:27.880 --> 0:44:30.960
<v Speaker 1>of he gets off the main path sometimes and does

0:44:30.960 --> 0:44:35.399
<v Speaker 1>it and does it knowingly and sometimes unknowingly. But it's

0:44:36.560 --> 0:44:38.719
<v Speaker 1>because of that. There's a lot of drama and there's

0:44:38.719 --> 0:44:41.239
<v Speaker 1>a lot of first but I think that's that's his

0:44:41.960 --> 0:44:44.439
<v Speaker 1>authentic path to finding love, and I think that's really

0:44:44.480 --> 0:44:46.880
<v Speaker 1>going to come across as people continue to watch the season.

0:44:47.520 --> 0:44:50.879
<v Speaker 1>Oh right, I can't wait, Serene. Are you excited? I

0:44:50.920 --> 0:44:55.600

0:48:44.680 --> 0:48:47.040
<v Speaker 1>kind of a New Jersey diner thing. So, like, you know,

0:48:47.120 --> 0:48:49.120
<v Speaker 1>playing for the Giants, I was living in hobo to

0:48:49.200 --> 0:48:52.000
<v Speaker 1>New Jersey. There was this legendary old diner called the

0:48:52.040 --> 0:48:55.040
<v Speaker 1>Baldu Diner. It was like down the street and essentially

0:48:55.080 --> 0:48:58.000
<v Speaker 1>a pizza burger, essentially a burger and you just take

0:48:58.040 --> 0:49:00.480
<v Speaker 1>Marinar sauce and you just kind of smuggle there Marin.

0:49:01.960 --> 0:49:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Then you put on Oh that guy, it's a life.

0:49:04.480 --> 0:49:09.360
<v Speaker 1>It's just an onion rings kind of guy. Fries regular

0:49:09.600 --> 0:49:16.000
<v Speaker 1>or sweet potato regular, and tons of tabasco. Oh, I

0:49:16.040 --> 0:49:18.880
<v Speaker 1>love spicy food. Indian food is my favorite food in

0:49:18.920 --> 0:49:22.439
<v Speaker 1>the world. So like growing up in Canada and screen

0:49:22.520 --> 0:49:24.360
<v Speaker 1>a little will attest to this. We have some of

0:49:24.360 --> 0:49:26.600
<v Speaker 1>the best food in the world, but Indian food. Like

0:49:26.800 --> 0:49:29.840
<v Speaker 1>my best friends growing up are Indian and used always

0:49:29.840 --> 0:49:31.920
<v Speaker 1>get to gold and play at their house growing up,

0:49:32.120 --> 0:49:36.440
<v Speaker 1>and so like spice, so tabasco on everything, Tabasco on

0:49:36.440 --> 0:49:40.319
<v Speaker 1>the burger, on the chicken wings, on my cheerios. That Jesse,

0:49:40.480 --> 0:49:42.680
<v Speaker 1>my mom is Indians. You have to come homever for

0:49:42.800 --> 0:49:46.319
<v Speaker 1>some some homemade Indian food. Yes, I'm in. I'm so

0:49:46.480 --> 0:49:49.400
<v Speaker 1>damn I'm inviting myself to things. That guy. You're always

0:49:51.040 --> 0:49:53.640
<v Speaker 1>all right, Jesse. What is your favorite city in the world?

0:49:54.640 --> 0:49:59.040
<v Speaker 1>Paris for France, and that's good food there too, also

0:49:59.160 --> 0:50:02.120
<v Speaker 1>great food there. Yes, that's Emily and I try to go.

0:50:02.239 --> 0:50:04.800
<v Speaker 1>We try to go once a year. Um, we love it.

0:50:04.840 --> 0:50:06.480
<v Speaker 1>I've always said it's like my dream one day like

0:50:06.520 --> 0:50:09.359
<v Speaker 1>to have like a an apartment somewhere and like one

0:50:09.400 --> 0:50:12.600
<v Speaker 1>of the small uh in BEPI. So that would be

0:50:12.880 --> 0:50:15.600
<v Speaker 1>that would be really great. I love that, such a

0:50:15.680 --> 0:50:19.359
<v Speaker 1>romantic city. Yes, I have been absolutely dying to go there.

0:50:19.360 --> 0:50:21.520
<v Speaker 1>I've we've been watching Emily in Paris and it's just

0:50:21.560 --> 0:50:28.560
<v Speaker 1>giving me soul. It's a good one. Okay. Do you

0:50:28.640 --> 0:50:34.840
<v Speaker 1>prefer watching sports or playing sports? I prefer playing sports

0:50:34.960 --> 0:50:40.719
<v Speaker 1>until tackling is involved, and then I totally enjoy watching. Yeah,

0:50:40.840 --> 0:50:42.799
<v Speaker 1>it's like for my job. Now. It's like I'm, you know,

0:50:42.960 --> 0:50:45.000
<v Speaker 1>like I met the Rose Bowl a couple of days ago,

0:50:45.440 --> 0:50:49.040
<v Speaker 1>watching Ohio State and Utah play, and I'm watching all

0:50:49.080 --> 0:50:51.959
<v Speaker 1>these guys run into each other from like feet away

0:50:51.960 --> 0:50:54.759
<v Speaker 1>from them, and I'm like, why did I ever want

0:50:54.760 --> 0:50:58.719
<v Speaker 1>to did this? Why what was I thinking? This is crazy?

0:50:58.840 --> 0:51:01.359
<v Speaker 1>My body feels so much much better now waking up

0:51:01.680 --> 0:51:04.640
<v Speaker 1>hosting The Bachelor versus when I was trying quarterback getting

0:51:04.719 --> 0:51:09.799
<v Speaker 1>chased way way less less stress on the body at

0:51:09.840 --> 0:51:12.440
<v Speaker 1>least so yes, I would say kind of depends in

0:51:12.480 --> 0:51:16.080
<v Speaker 1>the situation, but if tackling is evolved, I'd rather just

0:51:16.200 --> 0:51:18.839
<v Speaker 1>be on the couch. Yeah, I don't blame you, all right,

0:51:19.400 --> 0:51:23.719
<v Speaker 1>this is a good one. Do you have any guilty pleasures? Oh,

0:51:23.800 --> 0:51:29.600
<v Speaker 1>I define guilty. Um a guilty besides the Bachelor, besides

0:51:29.680 --> 0:51:37.319
<v Speaker 1>the um. Yeah, guilty pleasures give me like a theme

0:51:37.640 --> 0:51:39.920
<v Speaker 1>so I can, like, I just want to know, like

0:51:39.920 --> 0:51:42.000
<v Speaker 1>where I'm allowed to go on there? Do you like

0:51:42.000 --> 0:51:47.759
<v Speaker 1>like trashy romance novels, Hallmark movies? Um? Okay, well, well

0:51:47.760 --> 0:51:50.959
<v Speaker 1>Serena just mentioned it. I actually am watching. I didn't

0:51:50.960 --> 0:51:53.719
<v Speaker 1>have watched the whole Emily in Paris it's good. So

0:51:54.120 --> 0:51:57.480
<v Speaker 1>it's so good it is, Yeah, for sure. I mean

0:51:57.520 --> 0:52:00.400
<v Speaker 1>like through COVID it was obviously be a lot of

0:52:00.400 --> 0:52:02.560
<v Speaker 1>different shows, but I feel like Emily in Paris with

0:52:02.640 --> 0:52:05.360
<v Speaker 1>Me has actually kind of been under the radar. I

0:52:05.400 --> 0:52:08.400
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't share that with too many of my my guy friends.

0:52:08.960 --> 0:52:12.040
<v Speaker 1>But it's like, but like in the safety of this place,

0:52:12.600 --> 0:52:16.359
<v Speaker 1>you get addicted. It really sucks you in. It totally does.

0:52:16.600 --> 0:52:20.360
<v Speaker 1>And each episode is so short that it's it's an easy,

0:52:20.520 --> 0:52:23.640
<v Speaker 1>happy watch. It's just it's a feel good show totally.

0:52:23.680 --> 0:52:29.040
<v Speaker 1>It's a dose Paris and bad fashion. Yeah, very interesting fashion.

0:52:29.080 --> 0:52:32.440
<v Speaker 1>You get the beautiful views, you get beautiful men. It's

0:52:32.560 --> 0:52:36.000
<v Speaker 1>it's a good show. And I will say this new season, Okay,

0:52:36.000 --> 0:52:38.560
<v Speaker 1>don't give anything away because I'm only halfway done. But

0:52:39.400 --> 0:52:41.560
<v Speaker 1>her friend is such a good singer, so I love

0:52:41.600 --> 0:52:44.799
<v Speaker 1>that they have like the musical in it too. Yeh,

0:52:44.800 --> 0:52:47.520
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of performance. Sometimes I feel like, maybe

0:52:47.520 --> 0:52:49.359
<v Speaker 1>too much performance. I think they can kind of like

0:52:49.960 --> 0:52:52.480
<v Speaker 1>it's a full song in every episode for the whole season.

0:52:52.719 --> 0:52:58.520
<v Speaker 1>She had to be contractual. Yeah, all right, So we

0:52:58.640 --> 0:53:01.319
<v Speaker 1>just had Christmas. We had New Year's Eve. We had

0:53:01.360 --> 0:53:04.400
<v Speaker 1>a lot of binging Emily in Paris. What is your

0:53:04.440 --> 0:53:07.160
<v Speaker 1>favorite holiday, Jesse? Are you a Christmas guy? Are you

0:53:07.160 --> 0:53:11.600
<v Speaker 1>an Easter dude? I am a Halloween guy? No way.

0:53:12.080 --> 0:53:16.360
<v Speaker 1>I like that is the most uncommon favorite holiday. It's true,

0:53:16.480 --> 0:53:19.720
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of people randomly hate Halloween, which I

0:53:19.760 --> 0:53:23.719
<v Speaker 1>cannot understand. I love getting dressed up. I love it

0:53:24.120 --> 0:53:27.600
<v Speaker 1>and I always partake. And if if anybody hasn't done this,

0:53:28.320 --> 0:53:32.319
<v Speaker 1>New York City has got to be the greatest Halloween

0:53:32.400 --> 0:53:36.719
<v Speaker 1>city in the entire world. Everybody participates. I've been dressed

0:53:37.080 --> 0:53:41.000
<v Speaker 1>as we've got to from Zoolander on a subway, on

0:53:41.040 --> 0:53:48.359
<v Speaker 1>a subway, like holding the thing I got Halloween costume. Yes,

0:53:48.440 --> 0:53:50.400
<v Speaker 1>and you always remember what it is to everyone right

0:53:50.440 --> 0:53:51.920
<v Speaker 1>away to be able to tell you what was my

0:53:51.960 --> 0:53:54.719
<v Speaker 1>best costume ever? We got to from Zoololander was by

0:53:54.760 --> 0:53:57.920
<v Speaker 1>far mind and just like being on the subway and

0:53:58.320 --> 0:54:02.759
<v Speaker 1>everyone is in costume, Oh yeah, it's like you don't

0:54:02.800 --> 0:54:05.160
<v Speaker 1>kind of feel like I gotta like tuck myself into

0:54:05.200 --> 0:54:07.880
<v Speaker 1>back of this. Everyone's gonna think I look ridiculous. Everyone

0:54:07.960 --> 0:54:11.640
<v Speaker 1>plays alone. It's like, if you're not, you wouldn't even

0:54:11.640 --> 0:54:13.160
<v Speaker 1>need to leave. That's where I would go and just

0:54:13.160 --> 0:54:15.560
<v Speaker 1>spend my entire night eating candy in the corner of

0:54:15.560 --> 0:54:22.400
<v Speaker 1>the subway. Exactly what were you this year? I couldn't

0:54:22.400 --> 0:54:24.600
<v Speaker 1>do it this year because I was working. I was

0:54:24.640 --> 0:54:27.360
<v Speaker 1>just I was. I was. I was a sports broadcaster.

0:54:27.480 --> 0:54:31.320
<v Speaker 1>Slash posted Okay, see you think I wore this jacket?

0:54:31.760 --> 0:54:35.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah I was. I was like too fast, it's cooled enough, Jesse.

0:54:35.239 --> 0:54:37.680
<v Speaker 1>It has been such a blast having you. I'm so

0:54:37.719 --> 0:54:39.920
<v Speaker 1>glad that we had you, not only to kick off

0:54:39.960 --> 0:54:42.719
<v Speaker 1>Clayton's season, but to kick off the first episode of

0:54:42.719 --> 0:54:47.840
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty two. Thank you so much for joining us, Yeah,

0:54:47.880 --> 0:54:50.560
<v Speaker 1>Serena beat, thank you so much. Thank you. We'll see

0:54:50.560 --> 0:54:56.040
<v Speaker 1>you soon, hopefully we'll see Yeah, thank you, guys. I

0:54:56.200 --> 0:54:59.239
<v Speaker 1>really really enjoyed him. I really like him too, And

0:54:59.520 --> 0:55:03.160
<v Speaker 1>after watching him on the episode and then also talking

0:55:03.200 --> 0:55:05.640
<v Speaker 1>to him, I just think he is such a wonderful

0:55:05.680 --> 0:55:08.080
<v Speaker 1>fit as the host this season. I'm really excited to

0:55:08.080 --> 0:55:10.440
<v Speaker 1>watch him. I am too, And I will say because

0:55:10.680 --> 0:55:12.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, you and I are both in touch with

0:55:12.680 --> 0:55:14.640
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the team that still works on the show,

0:55:14.719 --> 0:55:18.960
<v Speaker 1>and everybody that I've talked to has nothing but such nice,

0:55:19.000 --> 0:55:22.120
<v Speaker 1>incredible things to say about him. I think he really

0:55:22.200 --> 0:55:23.960
<v Speaker 1>just went above and beyond, went out of his way

0:55:24.000 --> 0:55:26.720
<v Speaker 1>to get to know everyone, to really spend time with

0:55:27.239 --> 0:55:30.520
<v Speaker 1>Clayton and also the crew, which I think is really important,

0:55:30.560 --> 0:55:33.520
<v Speaker 1>especially when you're spending so much time together. So I

0:55:34.120 --> 0:55:36.680
<v Speaker 1>always like having guests on when you know you hear

0:55:36.719 --> 0:55:38.799
<v Speaker 1>great things about them, but then you are able to

0:55:38.800 --> 0:55:40.560
<v Speaker 1>sit and talk with them for a while and get

0:55:40.560 --> 0:55:43.560
<v Speaker 1>to know them on a deeper level, and it's nice

0:55:43.560 --> 0:55:46.560
<v Speaker 1>when you just have good, genuine people. Definitely, he was

0:55:46.680 --> 0:55:48.719
<v Speaker 1>so easy to talk to and I think that he

0:55:48.760 --> 0:55:52.000
<v Speaker 1>gave a lot of really great insight into who Clayton

0:55:52.239 --> 0:55:54.280
<v Speaker 1>is and kind of what we can expect from this season,

0:55:54.320 --> 0:55:56.280
<v Speaker 1>and it just has made me that much more excited

0:55:56.320 --> 0:56:00.480
<v Speaker 1>to watch. I mean, drama love for what else can

0:56:00.520 --> 0:56:03.440
<v Speaker 1>you ask for? First, I am really excited about the

0:56:03.440 --> 0:56:05.640
<v Speaker 1>first this season. I think it's always interesting to watch

0:56:05.680 --> 0:56:08.960
<v Speaker 1>when there's a different kind of format or dynamic or

0:56:08.960 --> 0:56:10.640
<v Speaker 1>the lead to something different. I think we're going to

0:56:10.719 --> 0:56:12.360
<v Speaker 1>see a lot of that from Clayton. Based on what

0:56:12.440 --> 0:56:14.440
<v Speaker 1>Jesse said today, Yeah, yeah, I think he's really going

0:56:14.520 --> 0:56:17.200
<v Speaker 1>to make this his own as every lead does. As

0:56:17.280 --> 0:56:20.720
<v Speaker 1>Jesse said, nothing, not one season looks like the past.

0:56:21.360 --> 0:56:25.960
<v Speaker 1>But I really think Clayton will have quite the ride

0:56:26.120 --> 0:56:30.680
<v Speaker 1>and really make this his own, his own special journey.

0:56:30.719 --> 0:56:32.239
<v Speaker 1>And you know, all I can hope is that he

0:56:32.280 --> 0:56:34.040
<v Speaker 1>finds love because he is a good dude, so I

0:56:34.160 --> 0:56:37.480
<v Speaker 1>know how bad he wants that. So we will just

0:56:37.560 --> 0:56:40.960
<v Speaker 1>have to wait and see. But thank you to all

0:56:41.000 --> 0:56:43.200
