Speaker 1: Hey, everyone, Welcome back to Bachler Happy Hour.
Speaker 2: I'm Joe and I'm Serena, and.
Speaker 1: We are here with another episode. This is a special
Speaker 1: episode because we don't have a guest. Serena's my guest.
Speaker 2: And I'm your guest, and you're my guest.
Speaker 1: I'm your guest and I'm your guest. How are we
Speaker 1: doing today?
Speaker 2: We're doing good. How are you doing?
Speaker 1: I'm doing good. So we're gonna for our listeners, We're
Speaker 1: gonna break this down into three segments. We're gonna first
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about ourselves because we are so interesting,
Speaker 1: and then we have segment two where we're gonna have
Speaker 1: our hot takes on what's going on in Bachelor Nation
Speaker 1: right now. And then segment three, we're just gonna talk
Speaker 1: about the upcoming season of Bachelor in Paradise. Okay, So,
Speaker 1: SERENI finally got approved for your green card, which I
Speaker 1: don't think people understand what a lengthy process this has been.
Speaker 1: Started it what like two years ago, almost two years ago.
Speaker 3: Well, we got married at the courthouse in October of
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2: Yeah, twenty twenty two.
Speaker 3: October twenty seventh, twenty twenty two was our official date.
Speaker 3: Of marriage and we essentially started the process right away.
Speaker 3: That doesn't mean the application got submitted immediately, but we
Speaker 3: worked with our immigration lawyers to get everything prepared and filed.
Speaker 2: So yeah, basically started immediately.
Speaker 3: So it's been a two and a half year process,
Speaker 3: which from some of the dms I've received from other
Speaker 3: people that have gone through it, that seems to be
Speaker 3: kind of how it goes.
Speaker 1: Like.
Speaker 2: Some people obviously got it faster.
Speaker 3: Some people were like more on the three year mark,
Speaker 3: but I did have a lot of people say it
Speaker 3: took me about two two and a half years as well.
Speaker 1: But you also chose the option where you could go
Speaker 1: back and forth to Canada as much as you'd like.
Speaker 3: Yes, so some people do the process where they cannot
Speaker 3: leave of the country, Like I know someone that did it,
Speaker 3: and you basically are stuck in the US. You cannot
Speaker 3: leave until your application has been approved. And I know
Speaker 3: that that's a lot faster of an option, you know,
Speaker 3: I think we're looking at closer to the one year mark.
Speaker 3: But for me, having family in Canada and so many
Speaker 3: of my close friends being there and you know, elderly grandparents,
Speaker 3: I was like, that's just not an option that is
Speaker 3: going to work for me, So I would rather this
Speaker 3: take a longer period of time. You know, I was
Speaker 3: on a work visa, we had options, and yeah, I
Speaker 3: just I think that was the right decision. Looking back,
Speaker 3: I don't regret it, even though it was a long
Speaker 3: draining process.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so a few Actually for the green card process,
Speaker 1: there really wasn't that many bumps around, just a lot
Speaker 1: of a lot of paperwork that comes along with it
Speaker 1: that you had to do. I mean, you put together
Speaker 1: a binder that's as big as an encyclopedia. I don't
Speaker 1: even know I'm a a. I don't even think I
Speaker 1: have that many files about myself.
Speaker 3: If anyone needs me to prove that Joe and I's
Speaker 3: marriage is for the right reasons, I can do it.
Speaker 2: I have a binder ready to show you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's actually I have to look through that. I
Speaker 1: might look through that one night. But we go to Montreal,
Speaker 1: which it was my first time going to Montreal, and
Speaker 1: it's a beautiful city. Jesus Christ. I mean I said
Speaker 1: city or province and people are uprising.
Speaker 3: Well it is so funny because well a Canadians are
Speaker 3: proud people, and I think that we, you know, are
Speaker 3: maybe more low key about it than Americans pride for
Speaker 3: their country. But we are so proud to be Canadian.
Speaker 3: I'm so proud to be Canadian. I feel like, you know,
Speaker 3: being Canadian as a part of who I am.
Speaker 2: But like they're just defensive, you know.
Speaker 3: And it is ironic because we learned so much about
Speaker 3: America and American geography as Canadians and you guys just
Speaker 3: learned nothing. But at the same time, as someone who's
Speaker 3: so bad at geography, I did not expect people to
Speaker 3: come for you the way they did when you post
Speaker 3: on social media calling it a city or a province,
Speaker 3: because also Quebec is a province, but then there's Quebec City,
Speaker 3: which is a city.
Speaker 1: So like I also, I also just pick up my
Speaker 1: phone and talk, you know, like I could have been
Speaker 1: like talking about like we could have been in like
Speaker 1: San Francisco, and I would have been like this city
Speaker 1: or town or whatever it is, like you know, like
Speaker 1: I don't know, I was just I was just talking fast.
Speaker 1: I didn't give it much thought. But Jesus, clearly, yeah,
Speaker 1: clearly clearly. So for all the people I offended, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not really sorry, but you know, next time, next time.
Speaker 2: Now to call it a city, yeah next time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, now I know, to call it the city, but yeah, beautiful.
Speaker 1: I love montrealreat.
Speaker 2: What was your favorite part in Montreal?
Speaker 1: I just I do really like I like. I like
Speaker 1: the look of old Montreal. I like the cobblestone streets,
Speaker 1: I like all like the designs of a lot of
Speaker 1: the restaurants. I thought the restaurants and the food was excellent,
Speaker 1: Like I liked. Everywhere we went for the most part
Speaker 1: was good. Except the bagels. Bagels can compare to New
Speaker 1: York bagels like not even in like no, like for
Speaker 1: even be in the same discussion. They're not even in
Speaker 1: the same discussion.
Speaker 2: I actually can agree with that.
Speaker 3: I mean, they're kind of hard to compare because obviously
Speaker 3: they're just a different style of bagel. But the bagel
Speaker 3: sandwich that you got, like the lack of effort put
Speaker 3: into it, it looked gross, Like it grossed me out
Speaker 3: looking at it, And you would just never catch that
Speaker 3: happening in New York and the bagel shops.
Speaker 2: I just feel like there's so much more pride around
Speaker 2: the bagels there.
Speaker 1: Oh it was, it was.
Speaker 2: It was gross, it really, and that takes a lot
Speaker 2: for me to say.
Speaker 3: For me to call something gross, I don't feel like
Speaker 3: I use that word a lot about food.
Speaker 2: And I was really grossed out by what you were eating.
Speaker 1: But the smoke meat sandwich was really good. From Delicious,
Speaker 1: from Schwartzes, but yes, and then.
Speaker 3: Joe Beef lived up to the hype. Absolutely, I loved it.
Speaker 1: But Manchos, but we were a little Serena was very
Speaker 1: you were very stressed. You were very Yeah, you have
Speaker 1: your big your big buyd there. We feel pretty good.
Speaker 1: But you keep saying that I feel like something's gonna
Speaker 1: go wrong. You know, I am in my head, I'm
Speaker 1: like I wouldn't even I would have showed up with
Speaker 1: like the minimum, and I feel like you have gone
Speaker 1: like over the top with what you're bringing. So I'm like,
Speaker 1: you are definitely gonna be good. And then well, I've.
Speaker 3: Been working for so long on it too, and like
Speaker 3: just ensuring everything is like ready to go and having
Speaker 3: like I'm literally blowing up my immigration lawyer's email every
Speaker 3: single day, Like I've been working with this girl for
Speaker 3: like years and she's probably never heard from me this
Speaker 3: much because I'm just like it's it's expensive too, right,
Speaker 3: Like we're paying to fly out there. We're paying for
Speaker 3: the hotels, we're paying for ubers, and like as much
Speaker 3: as we ended up trying to make it a little
Speaker 3: bit more of like a fun getaway, and at times
Speaker 3: it was like there is this underlying and pending doom
Speaker 3: all week about the you know, the star of the show,
Speaker 3: which is the green Card interview.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then you walk in. I have to leave you.
Speaker 1: I can't even go in. Initially, I was like, this
Speaker 1: is going to be like the movie Proposal.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you guys have seen that movie Sandra Bullock
Speaker 3: and Ryan Reynolds, she's a Canadian and the movie ends
Speaker 3: with like this green Card interview scene. It almost feels
Speaker 3: like like a random little it's like with the credits
Speaker 3: and they're both in this room being interviewed together, kind
Speaker 3: of proving that they know each other and being interviewed
Speaker 3: about each other separately and all this stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I was like, I was so ready for that,
Speaker 1: and then we get there. But then I knew right now, but.
Speaker 3: We knew, we know before we got there, you weren't
Speaker 3: going to be going in with me. I didn't know
Speaker 3: you wouldn't be loud in the building. I thought you'd
Speaker 3: be able to come sit in the waiting room with me,
Speaker 3: and they were like, sir, step outside.
Speaker 2: This place is not for you. You already are a
Speaker 2: US citizen.
Speaker 1: Government buildings are no joke.
Speaker 2: They are no joke.
Speaker 1: You're just not getting in. So yeah, so I go out,
Speaker 1: I get like, I go to Mindy's, Mindy's or Mandy's.
Speaker 2: Oh did you go to Mandy's again?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Well yeah, I just went and got a smoothie.
Speaker 1: I got like a cherry protein smoothie.
Speaker 2: And I was waiting for Sandy Salads.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then about thirty five.
Speaker 3: Wait, fun fact for people listening, this is so random,
Speaker 3: but Vanessa Grimaldi, who was engaged to Nick File from
Speaker 3: his season The Bachelor, it's her sister in laws who
Speaker 3: owned Mandy Salads. So if you ever go to Toronto
Speaker 3: or Montreal, they're in both places, and it's like it's
Speaker 3: a great little spot.
Speaker 2: But just like a random tie back to Bachelor Nation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I forgot about that. So then yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: good place. And then Serena text me I don't have
Speaker 1: all the paperwork, and then she calls me and I
Speaker 1: could just hear it in her voice and I walk
Speaker 1: back over and you're standing outside and you start and
Speaker 1: you break down and you start crying, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh no, oh no, this is bad, this is bad.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 3: And honestly I held it together in there obviously because
Speaker 3: there's just nothing I can do. I was working with
Speaker 3: inaccurate information of thinking I was fully prepared when I wasn't.
Speaker 2: And yeah, there was just something I do.
Speaker 3: I didn't have what was necessary for them to let
Speaker 3: me proceed with the interview.
Speaker 1: Only one file, only one document, really.
Speaker 3: Yes, I had. I was told that an electronic print
Speaker 3: out of this document would be fine. It was the
Speaker 3: police check. They needed, the original police check that was
Speaker 3: mailed to me. There's like a longer story behind this situation,
Speaker 3: but you know, we don't have time for the gist
Speaker 3: is I needed the original police check that was mailed
Speaker 3: to me and I didn't have it, and there was
Speaker 3: just nothing they could do. There was nothing I could do.
Speaker 3: And they said like, look, we're sorry, this happened. Sometimes
Speaker 3: you're gonna have to rebook, you're gonna have to come back.
Speaker 3: We can't proceed with the interview without this document. And
Speaker 3: I was like, okay, you know, thank you. The girl
Speaker 3: was really nice, like she obviously felt bad.
Speaker 2: They don't want to.
Speaker 3: They don't want to turn you away obviously, I mean
Speaker 3: I would hope not. I'm standing in front of her,
Speaker 3: she knows that I'm like hopeful to do this interview,
Speaker 3: and she knows that obviously a mistake has been made
Speaker 3: and it just it is what it is. So I
Speaker 3: was just like, okay, trying to get all the information.
Speaker 3: Disappointment is hitting me. I'm like realizing, like this whole
Speaker 3: build up of anxiety and stress is like, I'm not
Speaker 3: going to get to the finish line today, which I've
Speaker 3: been waiting for for two.
Speaker 2: And a half years.
Speaker 3: I go outside and I literally the mid I see
Speaker 3: Jow I break down because honestly was just like I
Speaker 3: just like my anxiety was crashing, and also just such
Speaker 3: a disappointing moment, like I felt so disappointed, so bummed out,
Speaker 3: and just like I cannot believe I have to do
Speaker 3: this all over again, and now I have no confidence
Speaker 3: in myself that I'm gonna do it correctly.
Speaker 1: It was, yeah, it was. It was really disappointing, but
Speaker 1: we were able to make an appointment. The following week,
Speaker 1: you had the fly back to Toronto and get the
Speaker 1: one document that you had at your dad's office, we
Speaker 1: get that, do you get that document, you fly back,
Speaker 1: and then you get approved.
Speaker 2: Yep, yep. Joe was in Chicago.
Speaker 3: We had already planned after the interview that I was
Speaker 3: going to fly to Toronto.
Speaker 2: He was going to fly Chicago. We're you're going to
Speaker 2: spend some family time.
Speaker 3: So I already had a flight booked, I got what
Speaker 3: I needed, and then my mom had some points and
Speaker 3: she was nice enough to come out with me, which
Speaker 3: originally I was like, I feel like, as an adult,
Speaker 3: you're like, it's fine, Like I can just do this myself.
Speaker 3: I'll just figure it out, Like it's fine. Having my
Speaker 3: mom there was the best thing ever. Like I just like,
Speaker 3: sometimes you're like I just need my mom and she's
Speaker 3: abasing in those situations. Obviously, I would have loved for
Speaker 3: you to be there, Joe, but that just didn't make
Speaker 3: as much sense.
Speaker 2: And yeah, it all worked out, and I'm so relieved.
Speaker 3: I'm so happy, and I'm literally, after this podcast going
Speaker 3: to pick up my passport so that I can enter
Speaker 3: the US and declare that I have a.
Speaker 2: Green card and a permanent residency. Yay, okay, clip clap.
Speaker 1: So the story ends with a lovely ending a lovely
Speaker 1: ending her green card and we are good.
Speaker 3: And for those asking, I still am a Canadian citizen
Speaker 3: and I'm not a US citizen now, so I'll be
Speaker 3: a Canadian citizen with a Green card, which is essentially
Speaker 3: just a it's like a spousal visa, like it's a
Speaker 3: long visa.
Speaker 2: I have it for I believe ten years now.
Speaker 3: I'll have to renew it or I can eventually then
Speaker 3: apply for US citizenship, which then I would have dual citizenship.
Speaker 2: But we are not even thinking that far ahead right now.
Speaker 3: I'm just trying to sit in the relief that I
Speaker 3: get a break from immigration stuff for a hot minute.
Speaker 1: And for those asking, I do now know that Montreal
Speaker 1: is a city. Moving on tom two hot takes, which
Speaker 1: over the past few weeks we have discussed some of these,
Speaker 1: but we'll just well, uh, we'll talk about them a
Speaker 1: little more and then we'll move on to upcoming Paradise,
Speaker 1: which we're all excited for because we've had a full
Speaker 1: year break and some big changes in Paradise, so I
Speaker 1: can't wait to see what that's gonna end up being.
Speaker 1: But Bache Nation, you know, there was there was obviously
Speaker 1: there was no Bachelorette that was that was that was xed.
Speaker 1: There was rumors that it was potentially Maria, rumors that
Speaker 1: it was I thought it was gonna be Latilla because
Speaker 1: it just seemed like she had gotten her heart broke
Speaker 1: broken at the end, that maybe she wasn't ready. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I think my hot take would be, like Victoria Fuller
Speaker 1: for Bachelorette.
Speaker 3: I think, well, don't you see the I think I
Speaker 3: think Nick had I think Victoria Fuller was on Vile
Speaker 3: Files talking about this as well at one point.
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, that that makes sense. Maybe that's where the
Speaker 1: rumor came from. Then.
Speaker 3: I think that's where I heard it from him, because
Speaker 3: I remember scrolling and seeing that they were saying, oh,
Speaker 3: there was rumors that you were in talks to do this.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, I heard it from our podcast. I think
Speaker 1: I think, like you said it.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's just me spreading the rumor. Guys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's where I heard it from. But yeah,
Speaker 1: like I said, I said it, I think I said
Speaker 1: it last week or two weeks ago. But yeah, I
Speaker 1: think that that would be she would be the pick
Speaker 1: if you were going to pick a past contestant to
Speaker 1: be a lead. I think that's you go with.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't even know if that's a hot take.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm sure there are people that disagree with it,
Speaker 3: so maybe. But I think we've thrown her name out
Speaker 3: here like a million times on this podcast. I mean,
Speaker 3: I think a lead who has some experience is always great.
Speaker 3: She's been on The Bachelor, she's been on Paradise, she's
Speaker 3: been in a Bachelor Nation relationship with Greg Grippo, She's
Speaker 3: in her late twenties.
Speaker 2: I believe she.
Speaker 3: Has a house to dogs, like, she's got the life,
Speaker 3: she's ready to go, and I mean, she obviously was
Speaker 3: very iconic on Pete season of the Bachelor, So yeah,
Speaker 3: I don't know. I think the argument against her, if
Speaker 3: we're talking about this as a hot take, would be
Speaker 3: that she brings a lot of drama to your television
Speaker 3: screen and some people prefer it to be a little
Speaker 3: bit of a cleaner, simpler, more straightforward love story.
Speaker 2: But we don't feel that way here. That's not our preference.
Speaker 1: You think we'll see Greg in Paradise?
Speaker 2: Oh, good question. Yeah, I think that's possible, do you? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Do you?
Speaker 1: I don't know, And I feel like I feel like
Speaker 1: Greg is just been out of it for so long.
Speaker 1: I don't see him coming back.
Speaker 2: Maybe not, but you never know.
Speaker 1: Bachelor Nation stage coach, that just seems to be a
Speaker 1: thing that's growing stronger and stronger every year.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: I will say a tie back to our last episode
Speaker 1: with Bachelor Data some analytics for you when my agency
Speaker 1: gave me back, like the back end of my analytics
Speaker 1: for my social media, like one of the number one
Speaker 1: things like my like my Instagram fit.
Speaker 3: Can I pause you for a second? Yeah, is Bachelor
Speaker 3: Nation stage coach your hot take?
Speaker 1: Like is that the Yeah, that's a hot take yet?
Speaker 2: But what is the hot take?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: That's just a topic?
Speaker 1: Well, that's a topic.
Speaker 3: Okay, do you know what a hot take is? Like
Speaker 3: you Victoria Fuller Bachelrette, Like we could spin it as
Speaker 3: a hot take, I guess. But Bache Nations stage coach,
Speaker 3: are you like yay nay? Like, what's your opinion on it?
Speaker 3: What's the take?
Speaker 1: Oh? Okay? Oh? Oh? The take is? Man? I just
Speaker 1: feel like whatever about it?
Speaker 3: Like you don't love it or hate it? You feel
Speaker 3: like people should stop like hating on bacheration from a
Speaker 3: stage coach or you think that they should stop being
Speaker 3: a stage coach.
Speaker 2: I don't know they looking for your take?
Speaker 1: They do, they hate that vacination for the hat. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know. Okay, let's say they did.
Speaker 1: Let's say they did.
Speaker 3: Do you think that? Do you like it or dislike it?
Speaker 3: That so much abatcherlation goes to stage coach every year.
Speaker 1: I could care less.
Speaker 2: Your take is I could care less?
Speaker 1: I yeah, okay, But going back to analytics about stage Coach, yeah,
Speaker 1: is that's like our like the number my number one
Speaker 1: following is like conch Like if I post country anything
Speaker 1: with country or country music, it's more likely people will
Speaker 1: engage with my content because they follow like majority like country.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: To break this down a little clearer, Joe and I
Speaker 3: got some back end analytics on our followers, which is
Speaker 3: always super cool and interesting for us to find out
Speaker 3: like what people who follow us are interested in. And
Speaker 3: one of the number one categories was country music. Like
Speaker 3: it wasn't even like in the music category. I think
Speaker 3: it was just that alone was a category people love,
Speaker 3: which is country music, which.
Speaker 2: Is kind of funny.
Speaker 3: Neither of us I like country music, but I wouldn't
Speaker 3: say like any either of us post a lot about it.
Speaker 3: But It would align with why stagecoach content for a
Speaker 3: lot of Vaccination does so well if the Bachination audience
Speaker 3: are all really big country music fans, which also makes
Speaker 3: sense based on where the demographic of the audience typically
Speaker 3: comes from.
Speaker 1: Here's my hot take. My hot take is I don't
Speaker 1: like country music. I don't like country music, and I
Speaker 1: don't like seeing country content. Keep your country hats away
Speaker 1: from my from my page.
Speaker 2: Your cowboy hat.
Speaker 3: You hate country music so much you don't even know
Speaker 3: what the icon is called cowboy has.
Speaker 1: Okay, hot take, hot take, hot take people, people have
Speaker 1: been throwing out there, and this will kind of leak
Speaker 1: into our Paradise segment that you know, because they're mixing
Speaker 1: Golden with regular Bachelor Nation contestants for Bachelor and Paradise
Speaker 1: could like, could someone hook up from Golden with a
Speaker 1: regular contestant? I my hot take is I love that.
Speaker 1: I love that hot take.
Speaker 2: No, that's not that's not how it works.
Speaker 1: It works, but you choose okay, so.
Speaker 3: Like no, no, no, no, you're onto something here. So
Speaker 3: my hot take. If we're talking about the topic of
Speaker 3: Golden contestants and regular season contestants mix and mingling, getting
Speaker 3: romantic my hot take would be that I'm totally fine
Speaker 3: with it, which I would say most people it's a
Speaker 3: hot take because most people are like, ew, that's gross.
Speaker 3: I hope that doesn't happen. I don't want that, okay,
Speaker 3: And it's so I'm going against the majority and saying
Speaker 3: that my hot take is that I'm having literally no
Speaker 3: issue if that happens.
Speaker 1: Wow, you don't huh, that is a hot takes? That
Speaker 1: is a hot take?
Speaker 2: Are you sure you don't even know what a hot
Speaker 2: take is?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Well this this, this really this shocked me. So
Speaker 1: do we think there's a world where that does happen?
Speaker 2: Okay? So this is what I think.
Speaker 3: I think, you know, based on society and what we
Speaker 3: are comfortable with when it comes to age gaps. I
Speaker 3: think that people will be much less supportive if it's
Speaker 3: one of the golden men and one of the younger girls,
Speaker 3: and if it's one of the golden girls and the
Speaker 3: younger guys, because you know, that's just those two things
Speaker 3: are viewed in different ways. I don't think it's going
Speaker 3: to happen. I mean, it's definitely on the risk or side.
Speaker 3: Do I think that they're gonna go to the boom
Speaker 3: boom room. That would be wild, And I don't think
Speaker 3: that's gonna happen, even though, like again, I'm so for it,
Speaker 3: But I could see, like we've got a young guy
Speaker 3: come in and take one of the golden women on
Speaker 3: a date, you know what I mean. Like I could
Speaker 3: see them like talking one of the guys into being like.
Speaker 2: What do you think about Leslie?
Speaker 3: Like I feel like she'd be so good for this date,
Speaker 3: Like I feel you guys would hit it off. So
Speaker 3: my thing is, like, if one of these fifty six
Speaker 3: year old men ends up hitting it off with the
Speaker 3: twenty year olds, is that uncomfortable? Definitely that man could
Speaker 3: be your father. But if it's naturally happening and it's
Speaker 3: two consenting adults, like, let that play out. Let it
Speaker 3: play out, Let's see how it goes, Like totally, it's
Speaker 3: not it's not the usual. It's definitely kind of scandalous.
Speaker 3: But like I would rather see something organically happen and
Speaker 3: it be kind of like taboo and uncomfortable than see
Speaker 3: something like four just for the sake of being like,
Speaker 3: we've got a golden and a non golden connection.
Speaker 1: Let us see it, let us see it. It's reality TV.
Speaker 1: That's what we want to watch, Okay, moving moving on
Speaker 1: past Hot Takes two, Segment three, Upcoming Paradise. This was
Speaker 1: the show that we met. Some changes, a location change,
Speaker 1: which I feel personally. So they are now filming in
Speaker 1: Costa Rica. That's a little sad for us because if
Speaker 1: we ever do get invited back and we have the
Speaker 1: time to go, like you know, it's it's not going
Speaker 1: to be the same place we met.
Speaker 3: I know, like knowing that the last time we were
Speaker 3: there is probably the last time we'll ever be there,
Speaker 3: and it is like the place that we like met,
Speaker 3: fell in love, got engaged, like a huge part of
Speaker 3: our history. It is sad, Like I like seeing that
Speaker 3: on the screen. It makes me feel so sentimental in escalgic,
Speaker 3: and I feel like that's got to be a lot
Speaker 3: of Paradise couples feel that way. And we do have,
Speaker 3: you know, we do so much history there and we
Speaker 3: do a lot of Paradise couples. But we were just
Speaker 3: in Costa Rica and we did love.
Speaker 1: It, Love Costa Rica, Love Costa Rica. But yeah, I
Speaker 1: kind of yeah, it's it's a little it's a little sad.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: The other mix is what we just talked about so
Speaker 1: we could we could blow past that. The Golden People
Speaker 1: being there and Hannah Brown coming down is like a
Speaker 1: champagne room waitress slash, I mean cock cocktail server.
Speaker 2: I think she's waitress. Have you ever seen wait staff
Speaker 2: in Paradise.
Speaker 1: Well, I've never seen Hannah Brown in Paradise either, so
Speaker 1: that's that's new. I personally I like Hannah Brown. I
Speaker 1: think she's great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's been on our podcast a few times and
Speaker 2: she's always so great.
Speaker 1: I don't know how many like like co hosts we
Speaker 1: need on this show at this point, like we are
Speaker 1: now like Jesse Palmer, wells Hannah Brown.
Speaker 2: I get what you're saying.
Speaker 3: I mean, I love Hannah BROWNE actually think she's a
Speaker 3: great fit for this and I'm excited to see what
Speaker 3: she brings to the show down there.
Speaker 2: I also thought like she hosted, did that she did?
Speaker 3: Like that True Circle, she was so good, Like, I
Speaker 3: feel really positively about that casting. Obviously I'd feel more
Speaker 3: positively if it was one of us.
Speaker 2: But no shame, no shame.
Speaker 3: We love Hannah Brown and we are very happy for
Speaker 3: her and Mike. Yeah, I guess my question is more
Speaker 3: just like, Okay, so We've got Hannah Brown in this
Speaker 3: like champagne room. I'm thinking maybe it's gonna be like
Speaker 3: she comes out during rose ceremonies and it's like a
Speaker 3: specialty bar situation and people go.
Speaker 2: Chot to her.
Speaker 3: But obviously we don't know exactly what that entails yet.
Speaker 3: But like there's only so much screen time, so like
Speaker 3: now we're not only dividing it up between regular contestants
Speaker 3: and Golden Contestants, we're now adding we got Jesse Palmer
Speaker 3: Wells and we're adding Hannah Brown. Yeah, so it's like
Speaker 3: how big of a role is hers gonna be? Is
Speaker 3: that going to impact the amount we see Wells? Is
Speaker 3: that going to impact the amount we get to see
Speaker 3: of the actual like drama relationships amongst the contestants.
Speaker 1: And you have the Golden Contestants too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Like lot, I just feel like there is a lot.
Speaker 2: We're doing a lot.
Speaker 3: Like I know, we're trying to come back bigger and
Speaker 3: better than ever, and it's like we have a new location,
Speaker 3: we got a new bartender, and we got Golden Contestants.
Speaker 3: But it's like are we doing too much? Are we
Speaker 3: trying to do too much like people like Paradise was
Speaker 3: good before. I know, we took a year off and
Speaker 3: that was necessary, but like, we got a lot of
Speaker 3: good contestants coming this season. I feel optimistic on that alone,
Speaker 3: and I feel like there's like more surprises to come potentially,
Speaker 3: So I'm feeling like optimistic, but also like a little hesitant,
Speaker 3: like how much is changing?
Speaker 2: How much are we trying to add? Like why are
Speaker 2: we doing so much?
Speaker 1: I agree? I agree, So yeah, it'll be it'll be interesting.
Speaker 1: Do we want to throw out a few potential.
Speaker 3: Matches, Yeah, well, we've had some people come on, but like.
Speaker 1: A strong one, like really, don't just like throw some
Speaker 1: random one. I want someone that you actually really believe
Speaker 1: could happen.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know who's going, so that kind of
Speaker 3: makes it hard. Like once I see the cast list,
Speaker 3: I could really start drafting some predictions.
Speaker 1: But well, okay, so I will say.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go Alex and Jonathan Alex.
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, So that's but that's a good prediction because
Speaker 1: I would assume both in that Well, we know for
Speaker 1: sure Jonathan's going to be there.
Speaker 3: Yes, And I think it's fair to say Alex is
Speaker 3: very likely going to be there as well, unless she's
Speaker 3: met someone quietly and we don't know about it.
Speaker 2: And I actually think those two would hit it off.
Speaker 3: I think that once people start throwing a couple predictions
Speaker 3: are around, those people start to get curious. And I
Speaker 3: feel like I've heard people say Alex and Jonathan, So
Speaker 3: there's no way that Alex isn't like checking out Jonathan
Speaker 3: and Jonathan's not checking out Alex.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, Okay, I'm gonna say I'm trying to think
Speaker 1: of another guy that I think would be there. Who
Speaker 1: was the last season?
Speaker 3: Oh, okay, guys, so like Jeremy Hakeem, Jonathan's I'm gonna.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw a random one out there, Okay, Sam
Speaker 1: from Gen season which one the one that lasted longer?
Speaker 2: Blondie?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I kind of got a little bit the villain edit. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Sam m and Zoe.
Speaker 3: What no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: I gonna be I just said it's a crazy one.
Speaker 2: That's a hot take, Joe, that is a hot take.
Speaker 1: And I'm sticking with it, and I'm sticking with it.
Speaker 3: I don't know if I see it, but I mean,
Speaker 3: I love an unpredictable couple.
Speaker 2: So I'm always for that happening.
Speaker 1: Out of the people that we know for sure that
Speaker 1: are going to be there, So we know Zoe's going
Speaker 1: to be there for sure, we know Hakem's going to
Speaker 1: be there, and we know Jonathan's going to be there.
Speaker 1: Those are the three we know.
Speaker 2: And we know Leslie and Gary from Golden.
Speaker 1: Leslie and Gary. Yes, is there out of any of
Speaker 1: those people, do we think someone's going to do very
Speaker 1: well in someone in that group? Is? It's not going
Speaker 1: to be their environment.
Speaker 3: I don't think any of the people that are already
Speaker 3: cast are going to get engaged.
Speaker 1: Wow, ok I don't think. Don't think Okay, interesting, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say I think I think Jonathan does get engaged.
Speaker 2: Really Okay, I like it.
Speaker 3: I mean I hope they all get engaged, you know, Yeah,
