So we're gonna for our listeners, We're 0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:31.080 gonna break this down into three segments. We're gonna first 0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:34.800 talk a little bit about ourselves because we are so interesting, 0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:37.839 and then we have segment two where we're gonna have 0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:40.760 our hot takes on what's going on in Bachelor Nation 0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:43.400 right now. And then segment three, we're just gonna talk 0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:47.280 about the upcoming season of Bachelor in Paradise. Okay, So, 0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:53.400 SERENI finally got approved for your green card, which I 0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:58.360 don't think people understand what a lengthy process this has been. 0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:03.320 Started it what like two years ago, almost two years ago. 0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:08.360 Well, we got married at the courthouse in October of 0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:10.920 twenty twenty two. 0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:12.520 Yeah, twenty twenty two. 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:16.360 October twenty seventh, twenty twenty two was our official date. 0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:20.680 Of marriage and we essentially started the process right away. 0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:24.319 That doesn't mean the application got submitted immediately, but we 0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:29.720 worked with our immigration lawyers to get everything prepared and filed. 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:32.600 So yeah, basically started immediately. 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:34.520 So it's been a two and a half year process, 0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:37.000 which from some of the dms I've received from other 0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:40.080 people that have gone through it, that seems to be 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:42.400 kind of how it goes. 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:42.600 Like. 0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:44.160 Some people obviously got it faster. 0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:46.440 Some people were like more on the three year mark, 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:47.720 but I did have a lot of people say it 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:50.080 took me about two two and a half years as well. 0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:53.600 But you also chose the option where you could go 0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:55.680 back and forth to Canada as much as you'd like. 0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:59.640 Yes, so some people do the process where they cannot 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:03.960 leave of the country, Like I know someone that did it, 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:06.920 and you basically are stuck in the US. You cannot 0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:10.080 leave until your application has been approved. And I know 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:13.400 that that's a lot faster of an option, you know, 0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:15.800 I think we're looking at closer to the one year mark. 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:19.760 But for me, having family in Canada and so many 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:23.480 of my close friends being there and you know, elderly grandparents, 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:26.520 I was like, that's just not an option that is 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:28.520 going to work for me, So I would rather this 0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:30.720 take a longer period of time. You know, I was 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:35.919 on a work visa, we had options, and yeah, I 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:38.680 just I think that was the right decision. Looking back, 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:41.120 I don't regret it, even though it was a long 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:42.120 draining process. 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:45.560 Yeah, so a few Actually for the green card process, 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:48.080 there really wasn't that many bumps around, just a lot 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:50.760 of a lot of paperwork that comes along with it 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:53.919 that you had to do. I mean, you put together 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:57.200 a binder that's as big as an encyclopedia. I don't 0:02:57.200 --> 0:02:59.520 even know I'm a a. I don't even think I 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:01.680 have that many files about myself. 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:04.120 If anyone needs me to prove that Joe and I's 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:07.080 marriage is for the right reasons, I can do it. 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:09.040 I have a binder ready to show you. 0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:12.079 Yeah, it's actually I have to look through that. I 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:16.120 might look through that one night. But we go to Montreal, 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:18.040 which it was my first time going to Montreal, and 0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:22.640 it's a beautiful city. Jesus Christ. I mean I said 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:26.359 city or province and people are uprising. 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:30.120 Well it is so funny because well a Canadians are 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:33.400 proud people, and I think that we, you know, are 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:36.880 maybe more low key about it than Americans pride for 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:38.960 their country. But we are so proud to be Canadian. 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:41.760 I'm so proud to be Canadian. I feel like, you know, 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:44.120 being Canadian as a part of who I am. 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:46.880 But like they're just defensive, you know. 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:48.800 And it is ironic because we learned so much about 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:51.880 America and American geography as Canadians and you guys just 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:54.280 learned nothing. But at the same time, as someone who's 0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:57.160 so bad at geography, I did not expect people to 0:03:57.160 --> 0:03:58.839 come for you the way they did when you post 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:00.880 on social media calling it a city or a province, 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:05.280 because also Quebec is a province, but then there's Quebec City, 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:06.120 which is a city. 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:09.360 So like I also, I also just pick up my 0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:11.040 phone and talk, you know, like I could have been 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:12.720 like talking about like we could have been in like 0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:15.000 San Francisco, and I would have been like this city 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:17.279 or town or whatever it is, like you know, like 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:19.000 I don't know, I was just I was just talking fast. 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:22.359 I didn't give it much thought. But Jesus, clearly, yeah, 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:26.000 clearly clearly. So for all the people I offended, you know, 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:29.880 I'm not really sorry, but you know, next time, next time. 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:31.760 Now to call it a city, yeah next time. 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:35.039 Yeah, now I know, to call it the city, but yeah, beautiful. 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:36.520 I love montrealreat. 0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:38.719 What was your favorite part in Montreal? 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:43.000 I just I do really like I like. I like 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:47.120 the look of old Montreal. I like the cobblestone streets, 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:50.120 I like all like the designs of a lot of 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:54.440 the restaurants. I thought the restaurants and the food was excellent, 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:56.440 Like I liked. Everywhere we went for the most part 0:04:56.560 --> 0:05:01.200 was good. Except the bagels. Bagels can compare to New 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:04.039 York bagels like not even in like no, like for 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:06.839 even be in the same discussion. They're not even in 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:07.720 the same discussion. 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:10.680 I actually can agree with that. 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:13.560 I mean, they're kind of hard to compare because obviously 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:16.080 they're just a different style of bagel. But the bagel 0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:21.080 sandwich that you got, like the lack of effort put 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:23.440 into it, it looked gross, Like it grossed me out 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:27.479 looking at it, And you would just never catch that 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:30.359 happening in New York and the bagel shops. 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:32.119 I just feel like there's so much more pride around 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:32.800 the bagels there. 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:34.280 Oh it was, it was. 0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:37.080 It was gross, it really, and that takes a lot 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:37.719 for me to say. 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:41.880 For me to call something gross, I don't feel like 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:43.400 I use that word a lot about food. 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:45.360 And I was really grossed out by what you were eating. 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:48.800 But the smoke meat sandwich was really good. From Delicious, 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:50.960 from Schwartzes, but yes, and then. 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:53.839 Joe Beef lived up to the hype. Absolutely, I loved it. 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:57.440 But Manchos, but we were a little Serena was very 0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:01.240 you were very stressed. You were very Yeah, you have 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:04.400 your big your big buyd there. We feel pretty good. 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:06.840 But you keep saying that I feel like something's gonna 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:11.960 go wrong. You know, I am in my head, I'm 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:14.560 like I wouldn't even I would have showed up with 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:18.000 like the minimum, and I feel like you have gone 0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:23.120 like over the top with what you're bringing. So I'm like, 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:27.240 you are definitely gonna be good. And then well, I've. 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:29.560 Been working for so long on it too, and like 0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:33.640 just ensuring everything is like ready to go and having 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:37.039 like I'm literally blowing up my immigration lawyer's email every 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:39.720 single day, Like I've been working with this girl for 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:42.120 like years and she's probably never heard from me this 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:45.920 much because I'm just like it's it's expensive too, right, 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:48.400 Like we're paying to fly out there. We're paying for 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:52.320 the hotels, we're paying for ubers, and like as much 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:54.880 as we ended up trying to make it a little 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:58.040 bit more of like a fun getaway, and at times 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:01.240 it was like there is this underlying and pending doom 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:05.400 all week about the you know, the star of the show, 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:06.680 which is the green Card interview. 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:11.240 Yeah, and then you walk in. I have to leave you. 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:13.120 I can't even go in. Initially, I was like, this 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:14.600 is going to be like the movie Proposal. 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:17.720 Yeah, if you guys have seen that movie Sandra Bullock 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:21.040 and Ryan Reynolds, she's a Canadian and the movie ends 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:24.360 with like this green Card interview scene. It almost feels 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:26.840 like like a random little it's like with the credits 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:31.080 and they're both in this room being interviewed together, kind 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:33.800 of proving that they know each other and being interviewed 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:36.080 about each other separately and all this stuff. 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:38.680 Yeah. I was like, I was so ready for that, 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:40.760 and then we get there. But then I knew right now, but. 0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:42.840 We knew, we know before we got there, you weren't 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:43.920 going to be going in with me. I didn't know 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:45.760 you wouldn't be loud in the building. I thought you'd 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:47.520 be able to come sit in the waiting room with me, 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:50.320 and they were like, sir, step outside. 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:52.440 This place is not for you. You already are a 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:53.120 US citizen. 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:54.880 Government buildings are no joke. 0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:56.000 They are no joke. 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:59.480 You're just not getting in. So yeah, so I go out, 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:04.400 I get like, I go to Mindy's, Mindy's or Mandy's. 0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:06.200 Oh did you go to Mandy's again? 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:08.000 Yeah? Well yeah, I just went and got a smoothie. 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:10.320 I got like a cherry protein smoothie. 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:11.760 And I was waiting for Sandy Salads. 0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:15.120 Yeah, and then about thirty five. 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:17.960 Wait, fun fact for people listening, this is so random, 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:21.640 but Vanessa Grimaldi, who was engaged to Nick File from 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:24.360 his season The Bachelor, it's her sister in laws who 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:26.679 owned Mandy Salads. So if you ever go to Toronto 0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:30.880 or Montreal, they're in both places, and it's like it's 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:31.800 a great little spot. 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:34.160 But just like a random tie back to Bachelor Nation. 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:38.680 Yeah, yeah, I forgot about that. So then yeah, yeah, 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:43.200 good place. And then Serena text me I don't have 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:46.280 all the paperwork, and then she calls me and I 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:49.640 could just hear it in her voice and I walk 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:52.360 back over and you're standing outside and you start and 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:54.680 you break down and you start crying, and I'm like, 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:59.000 oh no, oh no, this is bad, this is bad. 0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:00.280 I know. 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:04.400 And honestly I held it together in there obviously because 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:08.000 there's just nothing I can do. I was working with 0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:13.640 inaccurate information of thinking I was fully prepared when I wasn't. 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:16.880 And yeah, there was just something I do. 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:21.040 I didn't have what was necessary for them to let 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:22.040 me proceed with the interview. 0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:24.800 Only one file, only one document, really. 0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:30.240 Yes, I had. I was told that an electronic print 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:33.720 out of this document would be fine. It was the 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:36.960 police check. They needed, the original police check that was 0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:41.559 mailed to me. There's like a longer story behind this situation, 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:43.559 but you know, we don't have time for the gist 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:46.000 is I needed the original police check that was mailed 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:49.320 to me and I didn't have it, and there was 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:51.000 just nothing they could do. There was nothing I could do. 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:54.079 And they said like, look, we're sorry, this happened. Sometimes 0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:56.440 you're gonna have to rebook, you're gonna have to come back. 0:09:56.480 --> 0:10:01.199 We can't proceed with the interview without this document. And 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:04.320 I was like, okay, you know, thank you. The girl 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:05.920 was really nice, like she obviously felt bad. 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:06.520 They don't want to. 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:08.839 They don't want to turn you away obviously, I mean 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:11.000 I would hope not. I'm standing in front of her, 0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:13.040 she knows that I'm like hopeful to do this interview, 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:15.640 and she knows that obviously a mistake has been made 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:17.320 and it just it is what it is. So I 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:19.040 was just like, okay, trying to get all the information. 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:23.440 Disappointment is hitting me. I'm like realizing, like this whole 0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:25.880 build up of anxiety and stress is like, I'm not 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:27.640 going to get to the finish line today, which I've 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:28.960 been waiting for for two. 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:29.640 And a half years. 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:32.760 I go outside and I literally the mid I see 0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:35.600 Jow I break down because honestly was just like I 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:39.360 just like my anxiety was crashing, and also just such 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:44.880 a disappointing moment, like I felt so disappointed, so bummed out, 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:47.840 and just like I cannot believe I have to do 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:51.120 this all over again, and now I have no confidence 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:53.720 in myself that I'm gonna do it correctly. 0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:57.640 It was, yeah, it was. It was really disappointing, but 0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:01.400 we were able to make an appointment. The following week, 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:03.520 you had the fly back to Toronto and get the 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:08.839 one document that you had at your dad's office, we 0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:11.679 get that, do you get that document, you fly back, 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:13.880 and then you get approved. 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:16.480 Yep, yep. Joe was in Chicago. 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:19.959 We had already planned after the interview that I was 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:21.200 going to fly to Toronto. 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:22.720 He was going to fly Chicago. We're you're going to 0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:23.720 spend some family time. 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:26.280 So I already had a flight booked, I got what 0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:28.760 I needed, and then my mom had some points and 0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:31.000 she was nice enough to come out with me, which 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:34.319 originally I was like, I feel like, as an adult, 0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:37.000 you're like, it's fine, Like I can just do this myself. 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:39.760 I'll just figure it out, Like it's fine. Having my 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:42.640 mom there was the best thing ever. Like I just like, 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:45.920 sometimes you're like I just need my mom and she's 0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:48.000 abasing in those situations. Obviously, I would have loved for 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:50.360 you to be there, Joe, but that just didn't make 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:51.200 as much sense. 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:54.880 And yeah, it all worked out, and I'm so relieved. 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:57.960 I'm so happy, and I'm literally, after this podcast going 0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:00.400 to pick up my passport so that I can enter 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:02.760 the US and declare that I have a. 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:08.440 Green card and a permanent residency. Yay, okay, clip clap. 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:14.120 So the story ends with a lovely ending a lovely 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:17.040 ending her green card and we are good. 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:20.280 And for those asking, I still am a Canadian citizen 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:23.480 and I'm not a US citizen now, so I'll be 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:26.840 a Canadian citizen with a Green card, which is essentially 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:30.240 just a it's like a spousal visa, like it's a 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:31.200 long visa. 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:32.959 I have it for I believe ten years now. 0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:35.840 I'll have to renew it or I can eventually then 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:39.479 apply for US citizenship, which then I would have dual citizenship. 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:42.280 But we are not even thinking that far ahead right now. 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:44.560 I'm just trying to sit in the relief that I 0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:47.520 get a break from immigration stuff for a hot minute. 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:50.400 And for those asking, I do now know that Montreal 0:12:50.520 --> 0:13:02.920 is a city. Moving on tom two hot takes, which 0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:06.560 over the past few weeks we have discussed some of these, 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:10.120 but we'll just well, uh, we'll talk about them a 0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:13.840 little more and then we'll move on to upcoming Paradise, 0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:17.120 which we're all excited for because we've had a full 0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:21.160 year break and some big changes in Paradise, so I 0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:23.720 can't wait to see what that's gonna end up being. 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:27.760 But Bache Nation, you know, there was there was obviously 0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:32.480 there was no Bachelorette that was that was that was xed. 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:39.200 There was rumors that it was potentially Maria, rumors that 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:42.440 it was I thought it was gonna be Latilla because 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:44.920 it just seemed like she had gotten her heart broke 0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:48.400 broken at the end, that maybe she wasn't ready. But yeah, 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:52.360 I think my hot take would be, like Victoria Fuller 0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:53.480 for Bachelorette. 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:57.280 I think, well, don't you see the I think I 0:13:57.320 --> 0:14:02.000 think Nick had I think Victoria Fuller was on Vile 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:05.280 Files talking about this as well at one point. 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:08.240 Okay, Okay, that that makes sense. Maybe that's where the 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:09.240 rumor came from. Then. 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:12.600 I think that's where I heard it from him, because 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:15.320 I remember scrolling and seeing that they were saying, oh, 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:17.280 there was rumors that you were in talks to do this. 0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:21.280 Okay, yeah, I heard it from our podcast. I think 0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:23.760 I think, like you said it. 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:26.800 Maybe it's just me spreading the rumor. Guys. 0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:29.040 Yeah, I think that's where I heard it from. But yeah, 0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:30.600 like I said, I said it, I think I said 0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:32.680 it last week or two weeks ago. But yeah, I 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:34.840 think that that would be she would be the pick 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:38.080 if you were going to pick a past contestant to 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:40.040 be a lead. I think that's you go with. 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:42.480 Yeah, I don't even know if that's a hot take. 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:44.800 I mean, I'm sure there are people that disagree with it, 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:47.760 so maybe. But I think we've thrown her name out 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:50.120 here like a million times on this podcast. I mean, 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:54.960 I think a lead who has some experience is always great. 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:58.680 She's been on The Bachelor, she's been on Paradise, she's 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:03.200 been in a Bachelor Nation relationship with Greg Grippo, She's 0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:04.680 in her late twenties. 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:06.000 I believe she. 0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:09.120 Has a house to dogs, like, she's got the life, 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:11.360 she's ready to go, and I mean, she obviously was 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:15.280 very iconic on Pete season of the Bachelor, So yeah, 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:17.760 I don't know. I think the argument against her, if 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:20.400 we're talking about this as a hot take, would be 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:24.560 that she brings a lot of drama to your television 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:26.840 screen and some people prefer it to be a little 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:29.680 bit of a cleaner, simpler, more straightforward love story. 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:33.360 But we don't feel that way here. That's not our preference. 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:35.160 You think we'll see Greg in Paradise? 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:40.040 Oh, good question. Yeah, I think that's possible, do you? Yeah? 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:40.280 Do you? 0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:43.280 I don't know, And I feel like I feel like 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:47.560 Greg is just been out of it for so long. 0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:49.320 I don't see him coming back. 0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:51.560 Maybe not, but you never know. 0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:57.720 Bachelor Nation stage coach, that just seems to be a 0:15:57.760 --> 0:15:59.920 thing that's growing stronger and stronger every year. 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:00.680 Uh. 0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:05.240 I will say a tie back to our last episode 0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:10.560 with Bachelor Data some analytics for you when my agency 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:13.760 gave me back, like the back end of my analytics 0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:16.720 for my social media, like one of the number one 0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:21.000 things like my like my Instagram fit. 0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:23.800 Can I pause you for a second?

Like 0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:40.480 you Victoria Fuller Bachelrette, Like we could spin it as 0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:43.120 a hot take, I guess. But Bache Nations stage coach, 0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:46.480 are you like yay nay? Like, what's your opinion on it? 0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:47.240 What's the take? 0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:53.400 Oh? Okay? Oh? Oh? The take is? Man? I just 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:54.600 feel like whatever about it? 0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:57.120 Like you don't love it or hate it? You feel 0:16:57.120 --> 0:17:00.960 like people should stop like hating on bacheration from a 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:04.120 stage coach or you think that they should stop being 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:04.920 a stage coach. 0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:07.160 I don't know they looking for your take? 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:12.000 They do, they hate that vacination for the hat. I 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:14.600 don't know. I don't know. Okay, let's say they did. 0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:15.320 Let's say they did. 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:19.800 Do you think that? Do you like it or dislike it? 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:22.480 That so much abatcherlation goes to stage coach every year. 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:23.760 I could care less. 0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:25.639 Your take is I could care less? 0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:34.000 I yeah, okay, But going back to analytics about stage Coach, yeah, 0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:37.360 is that's like our like the number my number one 0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:40.520 following is like conch Like if I post country anything 0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:45.280 with country or country music, it's more likely people will 0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:50.119 engage with my content because they follow like majority like country. 0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:50.720 Yeah. 0:17:50.840 --> 0:17:53.280 To break this down a little clearer, Joe and I 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:56.560 got some back end analytics on our followers, which is 0:17:56.560 --> 0:17:58.880 always super cool and interesting for us to find out 0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:01.920 like what people who follow us are interested in. And 0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:05.280 one of the number one categories was country music. Like 0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:07.560 it wasn't even like in the music category. I think 0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:10.040 it was just that alone was a category people love, 0:18:10.080 --> 0:18:11.760 which is country music, which. 0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:12.320 Is kind of funny. 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:15.119 Neither of us I like country music, but I wouldn't 0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:18.159 say like any either of us post a lot about it. 0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:22.679 But It would align with why stagecoach content for a 0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:26.480 lot of Vaccination does so well if the Bachination audience 0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:29.240 are all really big country music fans, which also makes 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:32.119 sense based on where the demographic of the audience typically 0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:32.720 comes from. 0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:36.600 Here's my hot take. My hot take is I don't 0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:39.280 like country music. I don't like country music, and I 0:18:39.280 --> 0:18:43.399 don't like seeing country content. Keep your country hats away 0:18:43.400 --> 0:18:45.080 from my from my page. 0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:46.600 Your cowboy hat. 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:50.360 You hate country music so much you don't even know 0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:53.960 what the icon is called cowboy has. 0:18:54.320 --> 0:19:00.119 Okay, hot take, hot take, hot take people, people have 0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:03.560 been throwing out there, and this will kind of leak 0:19:03.600 --> 0:19:10.920 into our Paradise segment that you know, because they're mixing 0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:17.080 Golden with regular Bachelor Nation contestants for Bachelor and Paradise 0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:22.080 could like, could someone hook up from Golden with a 0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:26.960 regular contestant? I my hot take is I love that. 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:28.240 I love that hot take. 0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:31.920 No, that's not that's not how it works. 0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:35.480 It works, but you choose okay, so. 0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:37.520 Like no, no, no, no, you're onto something here. So 0:19:37.680 --> 0:19:41.240 my hot take. If we're talking about the topic of 0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:48.359 Golden contestants and regular season contestants mix and mingling, getting 0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:53.080 romantic my hot take would be that I'm totally fine 0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:56.080
