1
00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: Welcome back, happy our listeners. I'm Beca Koufern and I'm

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:10,239
Speaker 1: Michelle Young, and we are back again this week with

3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: the first episode of The Bachelor. It seems crazy that

4
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 1: we're back. We just wrapped Paradise two months ago and

5
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 1: we're back in the swing of things. And I'm excited

6
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 1: because today we have none other than America's First Impression

7
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: Rose winner, Brianna joining very shortly. I'm so excited to

8
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: get to know her. She seems like a sweetheart. I'm

9
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: Dach seems very much into her as well, and so

10
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 1: it's like the first person that we get to talk

11
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: to really kind of get their feelings on how that

12
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: first night went. And she has such a unique perspective

13
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: with going into it a little bit more relaxed on

14
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: that first night, which is like a lot of people

15
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: don't know that you don't have that perspective. So I'm curious.

16
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: We've got a lot of questions for her. But before that, Becca,

17
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: how are you doing, How are you feeling. I'm good.

18
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: I've been a little sick under the weather ever since

19
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 1: I got back from the Midwest. I was with my

20
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: niece and nephew and I love them so much. It

21
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: was such a good trip, but every time I leave Wisconsin,

22
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: I end up with some sort of cold or virus

23
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: from they're so cute, but they're so Germany, from these

24
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: like little Germany toddlers. Yes, I will honestly say, that's

25
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: like one thing I don't miss all that much of

26
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 1: teaching is that you get sick all the time because

27
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: you're own kids all the time, and especially like when

28
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: you're not used to that, you just get you pick

29
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 1: up everything they sneeze in your mouth and all of them.

30
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: And then also like the weather change, going from the

31
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: Midwest back to where you're at, I feel like, yeah,

32
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 1: it's been so much going well. And you know, I mean,

33
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: you obviously are traveling like crazy, but California has such

34
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: weird weather right now, Like it rained for three or

35
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: four weeks straight. Now it's sunny, but it's extra windy.

36
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: Mother Nature is just on a rampage right now. She

37
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: doesn't know what she wants to do. But no anywhere, yeah, anywhere.

38
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: But enough about me and my illness. How are you I?

39
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: I'm doing fairly well. I'm back in Minnesota right now. Um,

40
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,679
Speaker 1: but yeah, that bouncing back and forth, I feel like

41
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: every time I go on an airplane, I get like

42
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 1: pick up something and we I left La to escape

43
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: the rain, and I came to Minnesota and it was

44
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: raining and we got a winter weather advisory. So I'm

45
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: at the point where I'm just gonna take full responsibility

46
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: for the weird ass weather. Can I say that it's

47
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: following for the weird weather, like I feel like I'm

48
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: responsible for it just follows me, Like did it? Minnesota

49
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: just get dumped on with so much snow too? That's

50
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: what Yeah, that's what I was saying, is that I

51
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: left La. La never gets rained. Michelle moves to La

52
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: flooding when I moved to South Carolina, but Livezzard came

53
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: back to Minnesota winter weather advisory. Yeah we got jumped on.

54
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 1: So yeah, coming back, I wait, I wait up to

55
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: text from my mom every morning it's just like inches

56
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: upon inches of snow, and I was like, Mom, this

57
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: is why I moved, Like I this is great for

58
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: you if you like it, but like I don't need

59
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: to see yes, but um, well, yeah, come back to La.

60
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: We have hopefully great weather on the Horizon's the what's

61
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 1: the way guys on? I don't know. I mean, I

62
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: was like get there. We are not we are not

63
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: weather people. So let's get into what we do know,

64
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: which is the Bachelor. Obviously, Zach's premiere took place last night, Michelle,

65
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: throughout the entire episode, was there anything that really stood

66
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: out to you? Any key moments or also do you

67
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: have any prediction for what's to come? Do you have

68
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: anyone that you think like he, you know, was already

69
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: leaning towards like that will make it pretty far? Yeah?

70
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: I I it was so weird just watching last night

71
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: of like, are we really like these seasons roll over

72
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 1: so quickly and really feel like like Clayton was just

73
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: on our screens, which I guess he was, huh, but

74
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: to just go forward with it. It's interesting because I

75
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 1: think before the season started, we've heard a lot about,

76
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: you know, how the season's gonna go, what kind of drama,

77
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: what kind of things are going on? And I heard

78
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 1: that this season was going to be like a little

79
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: bit more traditional, which I feel like I kind of

80
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: felt on that first night or watching last night. But

81
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: at the same time, I think the things, like the

82
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: non traditional things that I loved about it were like

83
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: how exciting the intros were, like when the girls are

84
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: getting out of the limo, or like the funny things

85
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: that they were doing. I feel like we got to

86
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,679
Speaker 1: a point with like people who have like started Bachelor

87
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: started watching at the beginning, everything was so simple and

88
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: then now like these past seasons when people are rolling

89
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: in with all these like really funny things, there weren't

90
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: as many of those like super super memorable entrances. I

91
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: am going to be completely honest right now, and this

92
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: is just my opinion. On Night one. It was a

93
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 1: little lackluster that there was not really an entrance that

94
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: stuck out to me or like blew my mind. If

95
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 1: you were to ask me right now, like the most memorable,

96
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: I'd say maybe like the party bus just because it

97
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: was big, right. I felt like, and this is something

98
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: that Jesse Palmer said when we had him on a

99
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. He's like, Zach goes back to

100
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 1: the basics. It's back to love, which I can appreciate.

101
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: I don't need all the crazy drama. But let me

102
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: ask you this, okay, um, and let me try to

103
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: remember her name. Her name was Madison. She was the

104
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: one from I think North or South Dakota. Had she

105
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: not been here night one, there do you agree with

106
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: the samement there would not have really been empty any

107
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 1: like a big dramatic wow entertainment moments. Yeah, yeah, I

108
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: would agree. I mean she for sure she was the

109
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: one that had the or just showcase the most emotion,

110
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: you know, going through this night one. Yeah, I would

111
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: have said. It's so hard because it's like when we're

112
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: going through our seasons, we want we would love to

113
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: go back to basics, right, like we want to go back,

114
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: like we want to meet genuine people. We genuinely as

115
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: a lead, you genuinely want to fall in love, like

116
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: you you want the bullshit to be cut out, you

117
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: don't ever want that. But I like the balance, Like

118
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: I like that first night for it to be exciting

119
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: and upbeat and memorable and like that's where you want

120
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: all the action. And then when it gets serious, that's

121
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: where you're like, Okay, let's cut the bullshit kind of thing.

122
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: It like got flip flopped. Yeah maybe it won't, but yeah,

123
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:18,679
Speaker 1: and I'm sure that I can imagine these dramatic moments

124
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: that we're talking about will come, like right, there's not

125
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: gonna be a whole season without that. But I just

126
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: felt like this premiere was so straightforward and so basic,

127
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: which I will say, if I was Zach, I would

128
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: have loved that. You know, like I would have actually

129
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,559
Speaker 1: loved to just have a chill, fun night where people

130
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: aren't fighting and there's not like somebody crying. I mean,

131
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: granted Madison cried a little bit, but yeah, yeah it was.

132
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: It was very interesting. Um yeah, see, I just want

133
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: I want. I want the because even like my if

134
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: I go back to my first night, I want the

135
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: entrances to be exciting. That's what I like. Like, that's

136
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,679
Speaker 1: what I love is like the really funny, creative things

137
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: when all these contestants are getting out of the limo

138
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: or getting off whatever they're arriving in. That's what I

139
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: love the most. And then the conversations. I obviously want

140
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: to get to know the women that are on the

141
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: screen and things like that, so I don't mind if

142
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: those aren't. Like I don't need anyone yelling at each other.

143
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, I was disappointed with the entrances. Yeah, just

144
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: a little lackluster, I will say that. And again, if

145
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: I was Zach, I would have loved it because I'm

146
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: there to meet a potential life partner. Was there anyone

147
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: that really stuck out to you or like address that

148
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 1: caught your eye. I was super excited to see Brianna

149
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: and just to like see how she was so relaxed

150
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: coming into it. But then I'm so curious to talk

151
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: to her about if she felt like she had a

152
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 1: target on her back when she was entering, knowing that

153
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: like the women already knowing that she has a rose

154
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: and things like that. But she's the one that I

155
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: kind of had my eye on as well as Charity. Um.

156
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: I feel like those connections were just like natural, genuine

157
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: And then who's the one that we were talking about before, Um,

158
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: Christ's get it funny. She would think she's gonna be funny,

159
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: So I'm excited to get to know her. Christina is

160
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,439
Speaker 1: one that stood out just because she's she's fiery, she's funny.

161
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: She kind of reminds me, I think, And it is

162
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 1: probably the Southern accident of my girl, Tia Booth Like.

163
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: It gave me Tia Tia flashbacks when I first met

164
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: her out of the limbo that that night. One Um,

165
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: I think she'll be entertaining to watch I grew with Charity.

166
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: I will say this, we saw him kiss several women

167
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: last night and I feel like with Charity, it was

168
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: the first one that like, it seemed like he really

169
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 1: wanted to and that he was like very intu and

170
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: it didn't feel forced. I liked that connection, so I

171
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: have my eye on them. Um, And you feel like,

172
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: did you feel like because he kissed Greer as well?

173
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: Did you I feel like that was genuine. Let's just

174
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: talk about this first impression Rose real quick and just

175
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: get it out of the way. So Greer, Yes, we

176
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: saw her get the first impression Rose. It seems like

177
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: her and Zach do have a probably the strongest connection

178
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: so far because he didn't give her that Rose. We've

179
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: all seen the screenshots that are out there, and there's

180
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 1: a little scandal around her. I'm sure as the season

181
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: goes on that will be addressed eventually. The only thing

182
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: that this entire time that I'm watching her with Zack,

183
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: I think all I see is the band aid on

184
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: her shoulder. I'm like, who let this girl come in

185
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: Night one with the band aid on the shoulder While

186
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: they're making it out, That's all I was looking at.

187
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: I don't even remember. I couldn't even tell you what

188
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: they talked about. I don't even remember any of their conversation.

189
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: I know that they kiss and that's it. I just

190
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: apeciated on the damn band aid. That is so funny

191
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: because I didn't see it go back. I need to

192
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,839
Speaker 1: was it Was it like a circle band aid? Was it? No?

193
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: It was just a normal band aid, like you know

194
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: that we were in elementary school, Like just a normal

195
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 1: band aid, which and so like doesn't sick funny that much.

196
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 1: But I'm just seeing this and I was like, this

197
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: is the night where you want to feel glad. Maybe

198
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 1: there's a story behind it. I'm not knocking it, but

199
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 1: that's all. That is the only thing I was thinking

200
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: of as I was watching this conversation, the band aid

201
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: back and look, I'm sure somebody picked it out. I'm

202
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: sure somebody screenshot at it. There's got to be something

203
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: behind it. Anyone who has details that was there the night,

204
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: please let me know, because I that's all I was

205
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: thinking about. Um, But let's get into America's First Impression

206
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: rows winner. We actually saw her months ago when Zach

207
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: was announced as a Bachelor, and this is the first

208
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: time that we'll have anyone from his season on. So

209
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 1: I think it's time to just get Brianna onto Boucher

00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 1: a possibility. Oh, and we're so excited to have For

Speaker 1: in this pink top, one shoulder top, glowing to the

222
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,319

00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: the podcast because yeah, we're like we're apologizing to Brianna

224
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: for how slobby we look right now. How Brianna looked

225
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: like when she first met Zach months ago on that

226
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: live stage, and how she looked last night during the

Speaker 1: it all in. So I am like in such a

239
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: birlwind right now. Like I honestly, the whole process of

240
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: me getting involved in the show, it was just so

241
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: spur of the moment and it just feels like everything

242
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: kind of came together in such a beautiful and serendipitous way.

243
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: So I'm excited. Well I want to know, because you

244
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,719
Speaker 1: mentioned that just getting on the show in general was

245
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 1: very serendipitous. How did this come to be? Yeah? So, um,

246
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 1: it was like late August twenty twenty two and my

247
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: mom kind of comes to me and it's like, Brianna,

248
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: Like I was praying this morning and I just I

249
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: heard that you should apply for the Bachelor. And I'm like,

250
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: this is kind of random, Like I'm not like I'm

251
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: gonna get on the Bachelor, Like I'm just gonnap flying

252
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: and get on. And she's like, listen, you know, like

253
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: just see what happens. I really feel like something to

254
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: become of this. So I kind of woll my eyes,

255
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: but like I get on my computer and I still

256
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: apply anyways, and and I'm applying and I actually an

257
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: appearing from casting like the same day, and they're literally like, Brihanna,

258
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: today is the last day we're accepting girls for this

259
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: upcoming season. And so it was kind of like I

260
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: got in by the skin on my teeth. But it

261
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: was amazing because like my mom watched The Bachelorette and

262
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: she's been a huge fan of the franchise, like since

263
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: I was a little girl, and so I kept going

264
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: to be like Zach Sack sacking, my god, Zax and cute,

265
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: who's this Sack? I feel like to me the Bachelor

266
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: and this was like myself and so I actually end

267
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: up fighting out like later on when I got to

268
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: California life. She was right, dang, So how did how

269
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: did they ask you to come on after the final

270
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: rose because I think there's what only five of you

271
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: women that came out that night. Correct, Yeah, so there

272
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: was five of us. It was Brooklyn, Me, they leave

273
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: Kat and Justina. Um. And so the way it was

274
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: for me was like pretty much a week and happened.

275
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: Um my producer calls and he said he there's something

276
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: really cool and especially we want to do, Like would

277
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: you be down to it? I'm like, okay, like what

278
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: is it? And he was being super hush hushed, super

279
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: tight lipped. Um. But I was like, you know what,

280
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: like I'm just gonna take a legal faith and trust

281
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: that you know it's whatever is going to be good.

282
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: And so he's like, if you calm, you will have

283
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: to fly out next week. And like I said, I

284
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: was only like, oh week gonna happen to my process

285
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: of casting. So I was like, well, why I'm going

286
00:15:59,960 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: to fly out in a week. I don't have anything.

287
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: And he's like, don't where you figure it out? Just

288
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: like come so, um, they asked me. They don't really

289
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: tell me anything. They just say you want to be

290
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: something super special or something a little unprecedented, and you know,

291
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: just bringing himself in his practice personality and that's all

292
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: that matters. So that's what I did. And we had

293
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: no idea. So when you were like, when you were

294
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: on that plane heading to LA you had no idea

295
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: that you were going to be meeting Zach. I didn't

296
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: know they were announcing the Bachelor. I didn't know who

297
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: that was yet. So why did you find out? Like

298
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: when when was the moment that you found out that, Okay,

299
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: I'm actually gonna be meeting this man early on live television. Yea.

300
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: The whole thing was out surprised to me, Like I

301
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: had no idea what I was flying out. Therefore, I

302
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: thought maybe they're gonna shoot like emotional stuff and that

303
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: was gonna be a pree season. So I get in

304
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: like super late. I don't know what I was gettlate

305
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: in the night. And then the next day and they're like, hey,

306
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: so you're gonna be on a live show. He's gonna

307
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: be the Bachelor. Who is please Zach? And I was like,

308
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah, because like even when I was keeping

309
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 1: the casting from me on, I was like, Zach really

310
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: taught my eye and Gabby until Susan h So did

311
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: you have okay? I have so many questions about this,

312
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 1: so like as you keep talking, they keep popping him.

313
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: So Michelle and I were both there during that after

314
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: the final rows, and so we were there when they

315
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: announced Zach. We see him come out. He's talking with

316
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: Jesse and I'm not gonna lie. He was very nervous

317
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: like so, and we've had Zack on the podcast before

318
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 1: and he was a lovely man like he a great conversation,

319
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: was funny, it seemed very open. But on that live stage,

320
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: he seemed just so nervous that I feel like he

321
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: couldn't really talk and like open up and feel comfortable.

322
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: So were you watching him backstage? What was actually going

323
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: through your mind? I know that you said that you

324
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: were excited, and of course he's attractive in all these things,

325
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: like watching him in that moment, what were you thinking? Honestly,

326
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: I thought it was so cute, Like for me personally,

327
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: like I'm genuinely here to find like a partner or

328
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 1: someone who's real, someone's authentic. So when I see you

329
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 1: having nerves and like, it makes me feel more humans

330
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: to me, Like he went out, yes I am mister

331
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 1: p and Suab. I was like, oh, but what's going

332
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: on here? The reality like the reality of him being nervous,

333
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: because honestly, like I was so nervous backstage, I was

334
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: like holding like my people's hands and praying help me

335
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: not to like trip. So this is a good answer.

336
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 1: I like that you said that, I mean, and I

337
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: like how you could see like the human aspect of it,

338
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: because I'm not you probably felt and we've all felt

339
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 1: this because we've all done the live shows. It is

340
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: the most nerve wracking thing. Like it's one thing to

341
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: be meeting this guy that you're potentially dating and knowing

342
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 1: that it's going to be filmed, but the fact that

343
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: you did it in front of millions of people, it's

344
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: no small feat. So kudos to you, Kudos to Zach,

345
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: Kudos to the other women that were there with you.

346
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: It's a lot, it's a lot. Did you have any

347
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 1: idea that they were going to have America vote for

348
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: the first for America's first Impression Rose recipient? Oh, I

349
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: had no idea. Like when I tell you, everything was

350
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: a surprise. So like when you see me looking like,

351
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 1: oh my god, like I'm genuinely like, oh my god,

352
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: what is going on right now? So we were not

353
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: we were not like we were just a surprise, as

354
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 1: Zach was. Zach was surprised to be We're surprised to

355
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: see that there was a rose on the line and

356
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: you got that row. You get it, you get the

357
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 1: rose right, and you get to go through all of

358
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: those emotions. Not a lot of people have gone into

359
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 1: the mansion that first night and have like stepped out

360
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 1: of the limo and have it's not like and have

361
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,919
Speaker 1: that almost like kind of taken a deep breath right

362
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: like you have that first night where you have your rose.

363
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 1: You're safe. I think, Brianna, you might be the first

364
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: person in Batination history. And our fans and followers will

365
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: correct me very quickly if I'm wrong, but I think

366
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 1: you were the first person stepping in night one being

367
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: completely safe from beginning to end. Yeah, I look at

368
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 1: that smiles, She's like, Okay, so I will acknowledge this though.

369
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: That's amazing and everyone's gonna be like, oh, she's so lucky,

370
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 1: She's so lucky. But it also, did it ever cross

371
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:33,919
Speaker 1: your mind or how are your thoughts or how are

372
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 1: you feeling about I'm gonna be walking in. You know,

373
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: if you've watched the show or people who watch the

374
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: show know that a lot of times people who receive

375
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: the first impression rose or a rose in these intense situations,

376
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 1: there's a lot of pressure on your back or there's

377
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: a huge target on your back, and people aren't always

378
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 1: the nicest. How did that ever cross your mind? Did

379
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 1: you ever have that worry of this is really exciting

380
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: and I'm here, Zach, but I'm going in and other

381
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: women might not like me right off the bat because

382
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: of this. Yeah, honestly, Michelle, you are so right, because

383
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: that was something that I was actually really concerned about,

384
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: just because of the fact that, like, I was so

385
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 1: excited and I was so happy, because I feel like

386
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: when America saw Zach and I like they felt what

387
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: I was feeling like in that moment, Like I genuinely

388
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: was feeling like I don't feels I was feeling the connection.

389
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 1: I was feeling the chemistry, and I feel like it

390
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 1: really translated well, and going into this show, I was

391
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 1: feeling like, God, like, how am I gonna do more

392
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: than this? Like or there were people going to kind

393
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,959
Speaker 1: of want to be a certain way towards me because

394
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 1: I came in with this already, because like, honestly, like

395
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,479
Speaker 1: I'm not like an arrogant person. I'm not someone who

396
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: wants to make anyone feel bad. And I know having

397
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 1: to come in with the rose and not only have

398
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: a walk around with it all night, Like I know

399
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: that that can be kind of an anxiety point for

400
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 1: other people who don't have so like coming in already

401
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: having it and not only having it, but like having

402
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 1: to literally fold it in my hand all night, Like

403
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: I was kind of trying to be like, you know,

404
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: hold it like kind of low or hold it behind

405
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 1: my back, like I was really trying not this, and

406
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: like I'm kind of like showing it off because that

407
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: was not my intention. Like if I was the other

408
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 1: girls position, I would be like, oh my god, like

409
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: she's walking all these worlds I don't have when I'm

410
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: so stressed out, and like I put myself in no shoes,

411
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: and I get that. I think what people didn't understand

412
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: about the situation was that, you know, despite the fact

413
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 1: that yes, like I am safe, but this is also

414
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: my first opportunity to reject those app as well. Like

415
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: outside of what you all saw on TV death and

416
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 1: I didn't really get a chance to speak, So it

417
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,959
Speaker 1: was really tough for me because you know, all night

418
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: I was getting comments like oh, you don't need to

419
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: talk to him, like you're safe, or like oh what

420
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: why did you come where in that dress? Like you know,

421
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 1: you can watch that sweatpants. So I'm like, you know, guys,

422
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: like I'm here for these same experience as you. We

423
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: got to talk about this stress because it was stunning.

424
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: I love that you said you were trying like hide

425
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: the rose because it meant you had a rose dress.

426
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: It was just beautiful, literally, just so funny. It was

427
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:11,360
Speaker 1: like I have had that just for years. So I really, yes,

428
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: I did miss New Jersey in twenty nineteen, and like

429
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 1: that was actually the dress I wore, and so I

430
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 1: think for this occasion. Yeah, And I just feel like

431
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: it kind of like I feel like it was like

432
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: I had the rose and I had the rose dress,

433
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh my god, like I move

434
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: too much right now. It's so funny. It was beautiful.

435
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: I have to say we there were there were, I

436
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: mean obviously everyone looked studying that that first time, but

437
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 1: that was probably my favorite dress of night one out

438
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 1: of the entire bunch. It was so fine for what

439

Speaker 1: it was. It was beautiful. You were with such confidence,

440
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,880
Speaker 1: um and I want to, Like, you know, it's one

441
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,640

442
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: gonna have your first real interaction with sact. I guess

443
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: you'd met him before, but like, this is the first

444
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 1: time you guys can really actually have a conversation. But

445
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 1: what were you more nervous to see him again? Or

446
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 1: to walk into the mansion and see all of the

447

Speaker 1: but like I love and value my female relationships so much,

460
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: like those are my highest priority in life. So I

461
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: was so excited to get in there and like hopefully

462
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: fine people who I could connect with genuinely for life. Yeah,

463
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 1: I will say that it is the best part. It

464
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: really is, And it's do you spend so much time

465
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: as the women said, it's like you those people like

466
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: I'm not here to make friends. No you're not, but

467
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: it's not what gets you through. But but either friends

468
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 1: or what gets you through was gonna understand? Yeah, exactly,

469
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: romantic gloves you know, it can comment, it can go,

470
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 1: but like real true friends who are like sisters or

471
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: like so few and far between, Like I know that

472
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 1: this is a kind of environment where you can really

473
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 1: find those people in your life. So yeah, you know,

474
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: it was a little no blacking a lot of the Okay,

475
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: so when you walk into the like there's this moment

476
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: that I feel like so many women have, especially maybe

477
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: I don't. I've heard someone with like the men as well,

478
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: But I walked when I walked in that first night,

479
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: Me and my girl Ryan Clay too are we like clicked,

480
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: like we loot at each other. And when you're in

481
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 1: this room full of people, you can feel when someone's

482
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: genuine or that you're just going to be really close friends.

483
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 1: Did you see any of the women or like vibe

484
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: with any of them, be like Yep, we're gonna be close,

485
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: like we're gonna just we're already on the same page.

486
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: And who was that? Who was that for you? Yes?

487
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: So the first night was honestly really tough me for

488
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 1: a lot of reasons, one of which was because I

489
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 1: got so close with Becca and so she was actually

490
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: in my limo like that was my girl. Like from

491
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: the second I saw her, I was like, oh, I

492
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: can just feel like there's a like like best friend,

493
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: soulmate kind of feeling. And so it was really cute because,

494
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 1: like you know, whenever I was feel like nervous or

495
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 1: like a long respect, I'm like like scanning the room

496
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: for her to say I got a good name exactly. No,

497
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: that was my girl. Um. But yeah, I'm like in

498
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 1: the middle. And like sometime in the night, like she

499
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 1: like stood up for me, um and like not so

500
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: much to me. I was like, really accept this Besky's rose.

501
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 1: I gave her my rose, so like hold her she's second.

502
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: I was just like like she just meant so much

503
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: to me in that moment. So that was my girl.

504
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: I was devastated when she went home and I was

505
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: like friends a girl. I loved Victoria, Um, Victoria, I

506
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: think Victoria Pia think she was my bunk at and

507
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: she and I didn't talk too much, but like we

508
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 1: had like one interaction or I was like, I feel

509
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: like this could be a vibe yeah, like mutue respect,

510
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,360
Speaker 1: you just get it it like it comes out real

511
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: quick of like yeah, well you know, well we'll vibe out.

512
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: I love that. What was it like with because you

513
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 1: met the four other women during after the final rows,

514
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: what was it like seeing them again? Were you did

515
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: you kind of hit it off with them? Were they

516
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: more like sand offish since you got that first rows?

517
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: What was that like? I'm gonna say the first night,

518
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 1: I actually don't remember really speaking to any of them

519
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: except Christina. So Christina and I were the only I

520
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: think once you really spoke from that um. Afterwards, I

521
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: got to know Brooklyn and Baby like a lot more,

522
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 1: and Cat and I actually liked those girls. But that

523
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: first night, I feel like I was kind of like

524
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 1: in my own world of just being a little nervous

525
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 1: and just like because honestly, like I think I called

526
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 1: I'm super outgoing, but I don't think people understand that

527
00:27:56,200 --> 00:28:00,080
Speaker 1: I'm truly introverted and so like, it's a lot for

528
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 1: me to be in a situation with like twenty thirty

529
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:09,639
Speaker 1: new people, my crush cameras, lights like, it's a world.

530
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: It's a world in that night. Yeah, I kind of

531
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: feel like somebody that can come off like, oh, like

532
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 1: Brannon then talk to me, so she doesn't like me,

533
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: But no, guys, like, I'm really notrvous, but if you

534
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 1: come talk to me like, I will literally be your

535
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: best friend for life. I love that. I love that

536
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 1: about you. And honestly, that really reads through the screen wall.

537
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 1: You can tell. Viewers can tell who's genuine who's not.

538
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 1: Was there anybody in the mansion that you watched to

539
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: night one? I know that I was like, Okay, let's

540
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: peep out the villain. That's what everybody does. Who's gonna

541
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: be like everyone tries to foreshadow, like or who's gonna

542
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: be not even necessarily the villain, it's not it's kind

543
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: of unfair to put it on one person, right, but like,

544
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: who's going to be the person that might not maybe

545
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: be like received as well, or might be it misunderstood,

546
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: or somebody who's like, oh, they might create bad trouble.

547
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: Was there anybody who who you were like not that

548
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,959
Speaker 1: either like intimidating, um, you know, you know, or just like, hum,

549
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: you just weren't sure about them. Was I intimidated by anybody?

550
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: I was just yeah, anybody you were like, oh, I

551
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm gonna vibe with them very well.

552
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: I was like a standoffish or kind of rude. I mean,

553
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: there's always people who get crazy. It's a night. You know,

554
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: you guys saw the episode, so like this is a

555
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: little loaded question. Um, Like most people were really nice.

556
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: There would be the occasional snide comment from like you know,

557
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: like like girls being like like I said, like, why

558
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: didn't you wear flatpants? Like don't need to wear that dress,

559
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: and you know, the like they don't need to talk

560
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: to him tonight. And so I was really trying to

561
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: be cognizant of the fact that, like, you know, it

562
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: would look bad if I pull zack for a second, third,

563
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: FOURTHI even ten pretty much, honestly if the girls pulling

564
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: back at all that night was looking back because I

565
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 1: finally got to talk to him. It was like maybe

566
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 1: four thirty am, and literally people were like physically trying

567
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: to get in the way of me. Going in there,

568
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 1: so what it would literally stop you from Yeah, like

569
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: I'm standing outside like waiting for the conversation to kind

570
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: of have a little low and people are like, you

571
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: better not go in there, Like, do not go in

572
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: there and talk to him? You are I love how

573
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: that's okay. There is So I don't know if any

574
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: people at home understand this or watch this, but it's

575
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: it's not as easy as people think to just go

576
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: in and interrupt a conversation. Like it's already such an

577
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: unnatural process with everything going on, and you're like trying

578
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: to read the room, but it's there's different implied rules

579
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 1: in the room and pressures and it's so uncomfortable. But

580
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 1: you also like value yourself and you you should get

581
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 1: to talk to him, and you clearly wanted to talk

582
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: to you well, And I love how you approached the

583
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: conversation with him and you address it right away. You're like, look,

584
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 1: some people think maybe because I'm already safe, I already

585
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: have this rows I shouldn't necessarily have pulled you aside

586
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: and made time. But again, like this is the first

587
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 1: real time that you have to have a conversation, and

588
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: so I like that you approached it that way, and he,

589
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: like Michal said, he wanted to talk to you, but

590
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: also but also from a lead perspective, if you I

591
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: think it would have hurt you if you didn't. That's

592
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: what I was saying, because why did Yeah, because then

593
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: it looks like you're getting comfortable already, and that is

594
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: a word that you have as somebody who's trying to

595
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: find your person. It's like, oh, like we haven't talked,

596
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 1: and now she just didn't come find me that she

597
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 1: doesn't want to get to know me. Maybe this isn't

598
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: a meaningful It would have hurt you if you didn't,

599
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, And that's what I was thinking, Like I'm like, well,

600
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 1: first of all, it's like as awesome and this stuff

601
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: a rolls, like it's nice to have a rose and

602
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: it's nicer to be in a good head space for

603
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: your first conversation with someone. And I felt like that

604
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: was kind of taken for me with all the just

605
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: like input from almost everyone around me, Like there were

606
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 1: so many girls who are a sweet and were like

607
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 1: oh God, like for you, like I'm so happy to

608
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 1: finally meet you, like like a Briana, and like for

609
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: those girls, I am so grateful because you literally made

610
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: my night, Like, yeah, I was feeling so nervous, so

611
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: scared and like and if it wasn't for like a

612
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: greer came up to me and told me that, Like

613
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: there were so many girls who came, Dabia who came

614
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: and just gave me like that little bit of encouragement.

615
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: Because I think who told you that they voted, that

616
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: they voted for three years, the one who's like, yeah,

617
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: I voted for you. I think Dobbia may have said

618
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 1: it too. So I just really appreciated that because it's

619
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: just it's nice to come in and like know that,

620
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: like there's support and people who are you know, just

621
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 1: ru unkindly towards you in a situation that can bring

622
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: out the worst in people. We have to we have

623
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:36,640

00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: into before that. Um, obviously we don't want you to

625
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: give anything away. UM, so without too much detail, can

626
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: you tease anything fun to come or something that we

627
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:53,520

664
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 1: you have any hidden talents? I do? Um? Actually I

665
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,800
Speaker 1: created my own language when I was a kid, so

666
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,360
Speaker 1: it's mostly written. Um. But yeah, so I do have

667
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 1: my own language. And my dream would be to one day,

668
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: you know, get married and like teach it to my

669
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 1: husband and how to be like a little family language.

670
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 1: You have your own language. I was not expecting that.

671
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 1: We sure do. Okay. Your next question, what is the

672
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 1: most played song or artists in your library? Oh? That

673
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:46,359
Speaker 1: is good. Honestly, I feel like I'm returning to high

674
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 1: school because I've been loving Lata del Rey. Oh. I've

675
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,879
Speaker 1: been big on Lata right now. But I think I'm

676
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,760
Speaker 1: playing a lot of John Summit. Like I love John Summit,

677
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: I love Ian vibes. So la, what is your favor

678
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 1: favorite cocktail drink? Okay, I'm a vota grow one. Um.

679
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 1: I don't like to drink a lot of liquids, so

680
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: I actually bring two shots or lemon drop shots. Okay,

681
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: let's get it quick. M I feel your girl. If

682
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 1: you could be any animal, what would you be? Um?

683
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:26,320
Speaker 1: If you ask me. When I was a kid, I

684
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 1: used to always to my mom I wanted to be

685
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 1: a clan at the bottom of the ocean, which is like,

686
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 1: so now, okay, what is the current screen saver on

687
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:45,720
Speaker 1: your phone? Oh my god, it's actually um my vision board. Okay, Okay.

688
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 1: If you could visit one place in the world, where

689
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: would you go? Oh? Um, I would go to Saint Barts.

690
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 1: I love I love being boat, I love one weather,

691
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:06,359
Speaker 1: and I love being outside the country. Saint Bart's good answer. Okay,

692
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 1: the last one for this game. If you had to

693
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 1: describe this season of the Bachelor In just one word

694
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 1: or phrase, what would that be? I would say, I

695
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: would say it's a fun season, Like I think it's fun.

696
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: I would say that for the most part, it's very

697
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 1: like cohesive season. If the girls get along and are

698
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 1: very supportive, I think good. I love hearing that. Yeah,

699
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 1: because we always usually we always get surprising, dramatic. Okay,

700
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,840
Speaker 1: one more thing that we have before we let you go.

701
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:43,840
Speaker 1: It's our resource and then Rose and Thorntine time. So

702
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: basically we started this a couple months ago. We love

703
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 1: sharing different resources or bits of information to keep our

704
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: listeners informed, especially for this franchise. Like you know, we've

705
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: seen certain changes, but we want more change to take place.

706
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,919
Speaker 1: So Michelle, do you want me to kick it off off? Yeah? Okay,

707
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 1: sounds good. Um, so mine this week. I would say,

708
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 1: it's maybe not necessarily a resource, like I do have

709
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 1: links to go along with this, but um, it's gonna

710
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: go to a little place called Florida. And I don't

711
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 1: know if anyone has been keeping up keeping up with

712
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: the governor there. But basically, the College Board had unveiled

713
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 1: these plans that would offer an American an African American

714
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 1: studies course for the first time. They would pilot this

715
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 1: course and I want to say like sixty schools across

716
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 1: the country with the goal of obviously making it available

717
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 1: like to many more schools. Um but the course would

718
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: be a framework covering key topics that go into deep

719
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 1: history of like West Africa culture, and into the contemporary movement.

720
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 1: They wouldn't the students who would take this course wouldn't

721
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:00,840
Speaker 1: just like learn about the history, but it would be

722
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 1: more hands on. They would also learn about geography, literature, art, music, politics, film,

723
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: like basically everything that would provide a more comprehensive view

724
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:13,360
Speaker 1: of the African American experience, which when I'm reading this,

725
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, that is so cool, and that is of

726
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 1: course I would love to take. But the governor of

727
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:24,719
Speaker 1: Florida blocked this course and isn't making it unavailable to

728
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 1: students in Florida because he said, quote unquote, it would

729
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: distort historical events. And now the governor Roun de Santis

730
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:40,320
Speaker 1: has a history of restricting discussions of race, gender, sexual

731
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:43,359
Speaker 1: orientation in the classroom. So there's this whole thing again.

732
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: I'm going to share links to all of this, but

733
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 1: for me personally, as I'm like reading and learning about this,

734
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:53,359
Speaker 1: like I and I and we can have a whole

735
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,800
Speaker 1: conversation because I would love your points of view and

736
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: feelings about this too. But like, to me, I'm like,

737
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 1: why the hell would anyone block this? Like when I

738
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 1: grew up in school, I did not get a whole

739
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 1: comprehensive history lesson, you know, it was very skewed one way, um,

740
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:14,840
Speaker 1: and we didn't really get into the deep roots of

741
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 1: systemic racism in this country and the continued impacts. And

742
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 1: so like when I'm hearing about this course, I'm like,

743
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:22,879
Speaker 1: that is incredible, Like that is something I would want

744
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 1: to take. I think it would be so beneficial to

745
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 1: all students of different ages and so to have this

746
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: politician basically block that and say, nope, it's distorting historical events,

747
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, well, I feel like he's reacting out

748
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 1: of fear. Um again, Like this is just my take

749
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: on this. I would love your take as well, But

750
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: I'm like it's boiling my blood just thinking about like why, Yeah,

751
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 1: it's like we only got we only got a couple

752
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 1: more minutes. But it's like it's so baffling to me

753
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: of like why somebody would cut this course, Like listen,

754
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 1: Ron sir. If you don't want to take it, that's

755
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 1: that's your own thing. But like you, as this policymaker

756
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 1: in a state, should not have a say on if

757
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: this is offered and if students want to take this

758
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 1: or maybe he shouldn't be the only person with the say.

759
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 1: Like I feel like it shouldn't be a situation where

760
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 1: one person is pretty much vita in the work of

761
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 1: teaching things that kids need to know. Like everyone needs

762
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 1: to know these things. Our history definitely, like you said,

763
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: because really shown from one perspective, one interpretation, and like

764
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,320
Speaker 1: it just makes me think of like that parable that's like,

765
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:37,839
Speaker 1: you know, history is told from the point of view

766
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 1: of the conquerors of the winners. You know, the lion

767
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 1: is not telling the tale of the lamb. Yeah, So

768
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 1: it's just it totally is and it's just it's so

769
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 1: it kind of comes down to it where like I

770
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 1: don't even mean to laugh because it's like comical and

771
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 1: it's also part there's as somebody who's kind of in

772
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:57,320
Speaker 1: our position, It's like there's times where you just have

773
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 1: to protect your energy. You don't even let yourself go

774
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 1: there and like can be constantly pissed off. But it's

775
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:05,359
Speaker 1: so hypocritical because it's like, well we learn about well,

776
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: why is history important? Because we learned about histories that

777
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:11,880
Speaker 1: we don't repeat it or repeating it, we're still continuing

778
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: to repeat it. And it's maybe it's because like it's

779
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 1: completely distorted. It's just not it's even from a teacher perspective,

780
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 1: just the things that are out there that we have

781
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 1: access to or not access to. And you know, there's

782
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 1: a lot of people who are so uncomfortable with change

783
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 1: and ye, and and that's where I'm thinking again, like

784
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: I don't know this governor, I've never met this man,

785
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 1: like what I probably not, but it's like me just

786
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 1: like I just like you know, like Michelle, you were

787
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:48,320
Speaker 1: you were a teacher, My mom is a was a teacher,

788
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,799
Speaker 1: My sister's a teacher, and it's like my mom's yeah, yeah,

789
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 1: And I think like knowledge is a beautiful thing, and

790
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 1: like why not supply the tools for everyone to get

791
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:00,800
Speaker 1: a more comprehensive view of everything. And if they're a

792
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 1: critical thinker, they can choose to take like what they believe,

793
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,320
Speaker 1: what they follow, like what they want to learn, and

794
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:09,920
Speaker 1: like thinks are the important parts. But like allow them

795
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:16,720
Speaker 1: the those that's it. Knowledge is power, m Knowledge is power,

796
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,239
Speaker 1: and somebody has a lot of knowledge, it's kind of

797
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 1: a scary thing. They can overtake thing. It's just it's

798
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 1: it's just it's it's it's so sad and so and

799
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 1: so I want to know in the states that aren't

800
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 1: aren't banning this, um, if anyone takes this course, like

801
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:36,840
Speaker 1: I would love to hear about if there's a freaking

802
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: way I can take it, like please, I would like you, like,

803
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:42,960
Speaker 1: do I gotta signed back up for university? I don't know.

804
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 1: I I'll teach it. I do a lot more research

805
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 1: about this, like too, but I yeah, like I sign

806
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:54,799
Speaker 1: me up. So Michelle, I'm like you mine actually kind

807
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 1: of goes actually along with yours a little bit. Um.

808
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 1: It's called Okay, So my big thing with giving these

809
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 1: resources is I'm going to make it easy as possible

810
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 1: for someone to be able to learn about this stuff, right,

811
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 1: Like you don't have to like you can be lazy

812
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 1: and you can still learn something. But it's called this podcast,

813
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 1: it's called Diversity Gap and it's more of a their

814
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,439
Speaker 1: podcasts where like, yeah, you can go on what people

815
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 1: go on their hawk Row walk and like listen to

816
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 1: like motivational podcasts and things like that. But this one

817
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 1: is definitely for people who want to bring these conversations

818
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:35,800
Speaker 1: into their own workplace or if they're in a leadership

819
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 1: role and want to open it up to have these conversations.

820
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 1: And it does it in a way where like it

821
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 1: doesn't give you homework, but it gives you critical thinking,

822
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:46,919
Speaker 1: and it talks all about exactly where the diversity gap

823
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,320
Speaker 1: comes from and why it's actually continuing to get bigger

824
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 1: and when there's people who have like there's just it

825
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 1: kind of breaks it down to all the different types

826
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 1: of learning, the different stages you go into. But it

827
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,160
Speaker 1: doesn't in a way where like you can take this

828
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 1: step by step the workings and it's all like surrounded

829
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 1: about around realness in like a fresh creative way, but

830
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:11,320
Speaker 1: it's inside a workplace. So it's like, take this and

831
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 1: bring this into your workplace. And then I know that

832
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 1: there's actually a group of people whom that I teach

833
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:21,320
Speaker 1: her that I actually use it in like their professional

834
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 1: development themselves, and they all listen to podcasts. It's like

835
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 1: kind of being part of a book club. Maybe I

836
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:28,839
Speaker 1: should send this to the governor of Florida. I wonder

837
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:31,800
Speaker 1: if you'd listen to everyone should send a lot of

838
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:34,359
Speaker 1: stuff to him. Yeah, yeah, I could send Yeah, could

839
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 1: send here. Listen to this podcast. I think you might.

840
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,360
Speaker 1: You won't like it, but you need to learn something.

841
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 1: You might learn some takeaway. Yeah, but it's really great

842
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 1: in doing that critical thinking, and it challenges you to

843
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 1: actually think about these things in a way that even

844
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 1: if you don't have a lot of background knowledge with this,

845
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:56,319
Speaker 1: but you want to do better, it's going to give

846
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:59,760
Speaker 1: you prompts to think about as you're processing through these podcasts.

847
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 1: They almost like processed through it with you in a

848
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:04,319
Speaker 1: really weird way because you can't talk back to them,

849
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:08,719
Speaker 1: but like it's hard to explain it's. Yeah, but this

850
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 1: one's actually really easy to have access to. That's what

851
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 1: I love about it. It's on every podcast platform I checked,

852
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 1: like Okay, Apple Podcasts, Spotify called diversity gap the diversity gap, Yeah,

853
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 1: and it's very much. Yeah. I just just geared towards

854
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:26,320
Speaker 1: like leadership and really like not only doing learning yourself,

855
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 1: but you know, when people are in those mindsets of

856
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 1: I want to do better, I want to change you

857
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 1: kind of then get into the role of you really

858
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 1: want to challenge to people around you to have those

859
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 1: conversations as well, and this is a little bit of

860
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 1: a way to like transition into doing that. So I

861
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 1: just wrote that down. Thanks Michelle. Yeah right, And I

862
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 1: love Brianna, you are up. If you have a resource

863
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 1: or awareness that you would like to share, I love it.

864
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 1: I feel like I was kind of like seamlessly went

865
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:56,279
Speaker 1: into each other, so like yours, just well, mine is

866

868
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:08,960
Speaker 1: coming out. Yeah, it's called one Really after myself. Brianna Thornborne.

869
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:12,839
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, we're okay. First of all, you've been hyped. Okay,

870
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:17,200
Speaker 1: we're sending over, sending package over. I guess I just

871
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 1: want to share some facts about like email entrepreneurship, like please,

872
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys know, but like in

873
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, eighty nine percent of really created businesses were

874
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:29,400
Speaker 1: created by women of color, and that actually happens to

875
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:31,840
Speaker 1: be like up from what like it's up one hundred

876
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:34,279
Speaker 1: and sixty percent over last forty five years. So right now,

877
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 1: black women women of color, if you are looking to

878
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 1: create a business. There are so many people who are

879
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:42,479
Speaker 1: helping here to help you, so many resources. I believe

880
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 1: there's something like the fifteen percent pledge that you can

881
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 1: sign up for um and that actually to get shop

882
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:50,840
Speaker 1: space money. But the resource that I want to give you,

883
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:53,920
Speaker 1: guys is a podcast called How I Built This with

884
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:56,840
Speaker 1: Guy Ras and I actually used to listen to that

885
00:47:57,040 --> 00:48:00,360
Speaker 1: a lot when I was getting started because he interview

886
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 1: people in all kinds of different companies, like whether it's

887
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:05,880
Speaker 1: tag or health. But I love to listen to the

888
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 1: beauty founders, like we've got like Maureen Kelly who did

889
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 1: Chart Cosmetics, or like Gray and Solva who did Beauty Blender.

890
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 1: So it's really interesting. It's awesome to be the stories

891
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 1: because like these people as some of them really come

892
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:19,759
Speaker 1: from that thing and just because of a dream that

893
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:23,840
Speaker 1: they have, they created billion dollars companies and new girls.

894
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:29,759
Speaker 1: So don't know, this is awesome, amazing, and it's also

895
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:32,879
Speaker 1: so cool to hear. I mean, it's just the fact

896
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:35,880
Speaker 1: that I had no idea one that's wonderful that there's

897
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:40,400
Speaker 1: so many women, females who are in these leadership positions.

898
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:44,879
Speaker 1: I wish it was covered by media more. I wish,

899
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 1: like I really wish I wish there was more access

900
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:50,359
Speaker 1: to that, or wish that was something that was being

901
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 1: amplified or like lifted up because the fact that I

902
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 1: don't know if anybody even that. Yeah, it's not clevered often,

903
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:59,239
Speaker 1: but like if you just go searching, like there's something

904
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:02,880
Speaker 1: girls that yet, especially for like fifty one percent company,

905
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 1: and actually a lot of beauty companies have set aside

906
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 1: like a certain amount the shelf space specifically for black

907
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:12,120
Speaker 1: own brands. So if you are able to get a

908
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:13,879
Speaker 1: brand up and running and you can get in touch

909
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 1: with them, like there is resources, there is space being

910
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:19,879
Speaker 1: set aside for us. So like you know, we don't

911
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 1: have to think about all I want the little piece

912
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:23,399
Speaker 1: of pie. The pie can just step bigger and bigger.

913
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:27,080
Speaker 1: All have our favorite share. Yeah, this is incredible. Thank

914
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:29,279
Speaker 1: you and thank you for coming prepared. Okay, so the

915
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:32,239
Speaker 1: last bit that we always do with all of our

916
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:35,400
Speaker 1: guests is our rose and Thorn, and you were the

917
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 1: first person of Zach season to do this, so we're

918
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 1: very excited. So it's going to be like your favorite

919
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 1: moment memory of either when you were at after the

920
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 1: final rows or when you got to the mansion that

921
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:51,880
Speaker 1: night one, and then on the flip side, You're thorn,

922
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:54,879
Speaker 1: which is like the low light, the messiest moment from

923
00:49:54,920 --> 00:50:01,759
Speaker 1: either of those two situations. US Okay, I would say

924
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 1: my rose was definitely after the final rose, like getting

925
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 1: to go up there and like, I remember this moment

926
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:11,400
Speaker 1: so good with you when I think about it. It

927
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 1: was like Jesse calls my name, I walk out, and

928
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 1: it's like I'm walking up and I see Zach and

929
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 1: he looks really nervous, but he also looks just like

930
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:22,279
Speaker 1: so handsome and like cute, and I'm just like, oh

931
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:24,760
Speaker 1: my god, Like in that moment, it feels like everyone

932
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 1: else in the audience kind of disappears, and I'm so

933
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 1: in that moment, like I'm looking into his sweet eyes

934
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:33,759
Speaker 1: like smiling, and so that was such a sweet and

935
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:37,320
Speaker 1: just like precious moment and memory to me. It was

936
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 1: just crazy because like when I think about my experience,

937
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 1: especially like being a black brown America, it's really easy

938
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:47,439
Speaker 1: to feel overlooked and to feel like like you don't

939
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:51,080
Speaker 1: really expect to win things honestly, like you could, like

940
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:52,719
Speaker 1: even if you're the best and you're the great and

941
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 1: you're working so hard, it's like you always kind of

942
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 1: have to temper that expectation a little bit. And so

943
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 1: to have Erica She's me, and not just because of

944
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:05,200
Speaker 1: like looks, but because they actually felt the genuineness of

945
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:08,200
Speaker 1: like the chemistry and the connection that meant so much,

946
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 1: because it just felt like, wow, like the way I'm

947
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:13,800
Speaker 1: feeling is really translating, and it maybe felt hopeful for

948
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:16,680
Speaker 1: the state of our country that something like this could

949
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 1: happen to like a little black girl like I would

950
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:26,640
Speaker 1: have never Hey, you are after everything. Yeah, you deserved that,

951
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:30,359
Speaker 1: rose you. I'm gonna says, take up space, girl, take

952
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:32,680
Speaker 1: up space, and do not be ashamed of taking up space.

953
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 1: Thank you, guys. And I would say my the one,

954
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:42,480

955
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:46,840
Speaker 1: one like you Really, no amount of preparation of watching

956
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:50,319
Speaker 1: the show, of judging other people from the past can

957
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:52,880
Speaker 1: prepare you for when the shoot was on your foot, like,

958
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:57,279
Speaker 1: nothing to prepare you for her the emotions like the

959
00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:00,400
Speaker 1: long night like I was almost like I think eighteen
