00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: that I I had an interesting time of paradise, and

23
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: I'm super thankful for my time of paradise because it

24
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: made me realize that not everyone's going to be for

25
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: you and to like give people a genuine try and

26
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: a chance. Um. But since Paradise, I've been testing out

27
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: dating and you know, trying to focus on what I

28
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: really want in life and what I look for in

29
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: men and like how to avoid men that you know,

30
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: show red flags at the first signs. Um. But yes,

31
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: since Paradise, I've been dating, I've been working, traveling. I'm

32
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: actually in l A right now and on Dallas face

33
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: so this is different for me. But yeah, I've been

34
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: just trying to enjoy life. So if you return to

35
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: a quote regular job, yes, so I am still working

36
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: full time in pharmaceutical sales, but I also do content

37
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: creation and that's honestly kind of where I'm more so

38
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: wanting to lean in the future. But yeah, what is

39
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: it that you want to concentrate on content creation? Content creation?

40
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: I thought I thought that you just hear up with

41
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: like a drug name, Like in my head it was

42
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: like content creation and I'm like, oh my god, what

43
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: kind of drug is that? Anyway? Okay, how has dating

44
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 1: been in um Texas? Do you think that Texas is

45
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: any different than any other part of the country. Are

46
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: you do an online app dating? I don't know. I

47
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: don't know how I feel about Texas. So I'm in

48
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: Dallas and I feel like it's a very small pool.

49
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: Like I feel like the dating pool is very small.

50
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: Everyone knows everyone, so that's been super weird. No, I

51
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: haven't gotten on any dating apps. I think that I'm

52
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: judging myself if I get on a dating app. And

53
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: I don't know IF's because I've been on a dating show,

54
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: but I'm like, I feel like doing a dating app

55
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: but just be too much. I don't know. I don't know.

56
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: You're like, okay, so you're like borderline gen x jen

57
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: Y and you're maybe maybe the only person I've ever

58
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: met who has not tried dating app by this age.

59
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 1: Really yeah, I think I'm old fashioned when it comes

60
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: to dating. I want someone to approach me in person,

61
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: like I mean, we can do a d M as

62
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: long as it's followed up by a date. But I

63
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: think that I'm so weird about meeting people online and

64
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: like starting conversations with people that you have no intention

65
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 1: to write off that that was the worst. I had

66
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: no idea how to start those conversations or to continue them. Really,

67
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: I'm not I like texting for you know, the convenience sake,

68
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: but just texting for the sake of conversation. I don't

69
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: really get it. What's the point. I'm like, we'll call me,

70
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: let's meet in person, let's set up something, and like

71
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: everything is like, let's meet in person. About the meeting

72
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: in person? I don't. I don't even like phone calls.

73
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: I need FaceTime, okay, I need to see somebody's face

74
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: and like really bind their energy exactly. I don't know.

75
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: I think personally dating apps aren't for me, but I'm

76
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: not going to say, like in the future I won't

77
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: do it. But I think that I'm like an in

78
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: person person, and I think that the person I'm gonna

79
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: end up with is just bold enough to come up

80
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: to me and it's like, hey, I want to take

81
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: you on a date, or like you're cute. You know,

82
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: you think the kind of person that you need to

83
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: end up with has to have a personality trait to

84
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: do it in real life. I like that that says

85
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: a lot. Yes, are you are one of ten siblings?

86
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: How is life. Like, honestly, I love it. I'm so

87
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: used to it. At this point, I feel like you

88
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: have natural born friends versus like people who are like

89
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: one or two siblings. Like I just have so many

90
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: friends and it's weird, like they're my siblings, but they're

91
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 1: also like my best friends. Yeah, there's one for everything.

92
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: And at one point, like we're all living under the

93
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: same roof, like we do kind of still to this day,

94
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: and it's so nice because you're never alone. Ever. What's

95
00:04:52,839 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: the age range um from like seven two? I think out, Yeah,

96
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 1: it's like a very wide range. But we're also mixed family,

97
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: so it's not just like one mom. Okay, ok, it's

98
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: not my mom popping out all these kids. That's my

99
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: next question, is your mom did this just boom boom

100
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 1: boom boom. No, definitely not. But my mom had five kids,

101
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: so I still feel like that's a lot. You have

102
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: one kid right now, had five. I don't understand. I

103
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: don't even understand two at this point, like I wanted to,

104
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: but I just don't understand how you're supposed to live

105
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: with two. My my my husband's cousin. I had lunch

106
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: here yesterday and she has to like they're like four

107
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: and I guess they're like five and three, And I'm like,

108
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: I am so confused. How you get out of the

109
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: house with all the bags, with all the kids car seats.

110
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: It's just crazy. I'll learn one day, I'll figure it out. Yeah,

111
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 1: they say your second child is easier, because I feel

112
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: like the second child, you're gonna have the cheetos and

113
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: like the you're just gonna throw them at the kid.

114
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: You're gonna have one diaper in your pocket. Like that's

115
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: what everyone says. The second child is like person now

116
00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: when you're like preparing the bags exactly. That's so funny. Okay,

117
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: besides the guy coming up to you and being bold

118
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: enough to say hey to you in your life, what

119
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 1: are some other qualities that you look for in a man.

120
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: I think that the first one's emotional maturity. I feel

121
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: like men like pretend and put on a front. I

122
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 1: was actually thinking about this today, like there's a lot

123
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,359
Speaker 1: of men out here here are like, oh, I'm ready

124
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: for relationships, I'm grown, I'm this, I'm that, and then

125
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: when it comes down to it, they actually aren't, like

126
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: their actions are still of a child. So I think

127
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: emotional maturity, being able to communicate honestly is like very

128
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: attractive to me. Being vulnerable, hard working, ambitious, funny, down

129
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: to earth I like, I think, I want to say,

130
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: like I like old fashioned men, Like I don't really

131
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: like the men that are like on TikTok and you know,

132
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: huge on social media because usually those people like feed

133
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: in some things that like the quickness of this world.

134
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: I just think I need some like old fashioned like

135
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 1: dates like opening doors, as simple as that is, Like

136
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: I feel like that doesn't happen regularly anymore. Is there

137
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 1: a guy from Bachelor, from the Bachelor franchise that you

138
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: feel like meets those qualifications if you were to do

139
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: Bachelor in Paradise again? I don't know. It's crazy because

140
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: I didn't really watch Michelle's season, like obviously, like we

141
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: saw Nate like a Nate was one of the guys

142
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: that everyone talked about and like Joe, probably because they

143
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: made it further. But there's no one right now that

144
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, Like I have my eye on them necessarily.

145
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: I'm sure some of them have equalities, but I can't

146
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: like pinpoint one. I always say I wish Tyler Cameron

147
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: would come back to the franchise because I feel like

148
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: I would just love him, but he's far gone. It's

149
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: too bad. He really would have been a great Bachelor

150
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: when we did well. Recently, when I was on my

151
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: like one week maternity leave, Ben didn't interview with him,

152
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: and I listened to that podcast and I was like,

153
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: this guy's really got it, and it seems like it

154
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: seems like what he's gone through over the past couple

155
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: of years, some guys will get jaded by it, you know,

156
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: they get conceded and their ego get too big. I

157
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: actually feel like maybe the opposite has happened to him.

158
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: He's it's been it's been good for him in a

159
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: growing process from what I can tell by this interview,

160
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: And I was just like, this is the Bachelor that

161
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: we need. I feel like he comes off so humble

162
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: and like down to earth and cool and like, I

163
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: don't know, I've seen the Bachelor franchise like changed people.

164
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: Just like how you're saying, like, well, you think that

165
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: all the exposure and this and that would have him jaded,

166
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: But I think that he comes off very like humble,

167
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: down to earth, cool, swaggy. Yeah, yeah, he's got the

168
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: swag of the confidence, that's for sure, in addition to

169
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 1: being seeming humble. And I really, um, I don't know,

170
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: that's too bad. We got to convince him somewhere or

171
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 1: another to do it, because I do feel like he's

172
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: like an old fashioned romantic where like you watched him,

173
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: especially in Hannah season, and people were like, oh, baby babies, noises,

174
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: and people were like, oh, this guy is just like

175
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: knows exactly what move to make. I really think that

176
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: maybe he just is truly like that and he's just

177
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: one of the rare gym's exactly. Maybe he's just like that,

178
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 1: Like I like genuine people who come off genuinely it's

179
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: so easy and naturals. Now, did you watch Clayton season

180
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: at all? So? I watched a couple of episodes here

181
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: and there, so I generally know, and I was after

182
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: the final rose like I was at the actual finale. Yes,

183
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: I'm so glad. I went, um, yeah, so I did.

184
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: I am a little bit toomed into what happened. What

185
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: are your thoughts? I think? So after being there and

186
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: watching the finale, I think that I was probably the

187
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: only person the crowd that was actually happy that he

188
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: found someone and that ended up with Susie. Yeah, I know,

189
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: I had a sense of happiness too, and I was

190
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: a little bit confused by it, but but in general, like, yes,

191
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: my gut instinct was okay, good, I'm glad something good

192
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 1: happened for the two of them. And that's something good

193
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: happened after watching all of this train wreck. Absolutely, that's

194
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So I feel like people were angered, like,

195
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: well what about you know, Rachel and Gabby. And I'm like, well,

196
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: now they're the bachelorettes. Now they get their chance to

197
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: redeem themselves. I feel like that's even Stepien. We're square.

198
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: So Susie gets to be happy and they get to

199
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: be happy in their own way as well. Yes, okay,

200
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: well what do you think about there being two bachelorettes?

201
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: How do you how do you feel like this is

202
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: going to work out? Uh, Mike Flice, I think there's

203
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: a headline. I think one of our headlines today. Oh

204
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: yes it is, So we'll just do this headline right now.

205
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 1: Mike fly says the Bachelorette won't pit Rachel and Gabby

206
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: against each other. I'll read the deadline article real quick.

207
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: The Bachelorette will be making history this summer when it

208
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: features not one but two women on Rose duty, but

209
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: executive producer Mike Flies seems to be downplaying any possibility

210
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: of a pending cat fight between the single ladies. Plays

211
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: responded to a fan on Twitter who wondered whether Rachel

212
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: and Gabby would be competing against each other in their

213
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: quest for love. The tweets said this, I love Gabby

214
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: and Rachel, but there's no way this doesn't pit these

215
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: two against one another, and and then continue to say

216
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: every guy is going to be asked the same question,

217
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: who do you like more? Who do you love more?

218
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: Who do you like more? Not? And then Fly said

219
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: this not true. You'll see uh huh, Okay, I don't know.

220
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: So given that information, and we all know that Flies

221
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 1: tweet some things that aren't accurate all the time, or

222
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: they're highly opinionated whatnot. But given that, given that sound bites, basically,

223
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 1: what do you think is going to be the method

224
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: that they use with the two of them? And this

225
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: is something that I've been thinking on because I'm like,

226
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: how is it possible that you're going to have two women?

227
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 1: Are they going to have separate dating pools? Like? Are

228
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: they going to be bringing in guys? Mid season, you know,

229
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: kind of like a Tassia and Clear switch up. How

230
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: they brought more guys when it switched over to Tassia. Okay,

231
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 1: are they going to be doing that, like continuously switching

232
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: in guys to kind of like brought in the dating

233
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: pool for them. I don't see how they potentially can't

234
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: be putting against one another because they're making the same guys.

235
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: Imagine we both like the same person all of a sudden, Like,

236
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: I don't know how they're going to separate that. You

237
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: can't you can't influence love in that sense. You can't

238
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 1: influence who they like in that sense. I guess if

239
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 1: I were to brainstorm here, maybe the first couple of weeks,

240
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: the guys date them both, and then at a certain

241
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: point they have to break off into groups. And then

242
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: you're like, okay, you you're just exclusively dating her, and

243
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: you're just exclusively dating her, But then how awkward would

244
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: it be? And very reminiscent of Caitlin and and britt

245
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: if like one girl had a pool of men way

246
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: bigger than the other, that would be awkward, That's what

247
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Or I wonder if they kept the guys

248
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: coming in like, who do you who would you like

249
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: naturally feel yourself going more towards and then they just

250
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,079
Speaker 1: naturally have the same amount of guys, Like they just

251
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: make sure that they pick an even amount of guys

252
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: who would feel like they would naturally go in, and

253
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 1: then when they go in, then decide. I feel like

254
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: it's already gonna be split fifty fifty. I don't know.

255
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: I don't know how they're going to do it, but

256
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 1: I'm definitely excited to see. This will probably one of

257
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: the ones that I'll definitely watch so I can understand

258
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: how they're gonna make sure that there's enough guys for

259
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 1: both of the women. Yeah, my sister keeps saying that

260
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: she thinks this is gonna be like the rejuvenation of

261
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: the Bachelor franchise if they needed, because so many people

262
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: are going to be curious as to how they navigate it,

263
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: and I think she might be right. Absolutely I agree

264
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: with that. All Right, Well, I'm getting all confused now

265
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: because we had a Bachelorette season in the fall, so

266
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: I'm expecting to go into paradise now, but we're not

267
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: going into paradise where you're going into another bachelorette's season,

268
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: But one Bachelor in Paradise does come around. What advice

269
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: would you give people going on to that season? I

270
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: would say keep an open mind. That's like the best

271
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 1: thing that you can do going into Are you talking

272
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: about for Paradise, right? Yeah, So for Paradise, keep an

273
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: open mind because you'll be very surprised. I think that

274
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: the biggest thing in Paradise is dating people that you

275
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: wouldn't naturally feel yourself drawn to, like giving people a chance.

276
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: That's the whole point of Paradise, is putting yourself in

277
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: an environment where you're not going to go for the

278
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: person that you normally would instinctively go for. I think

279
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: that's the beauty of it. Be really open to those relationships,

280
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: because sometimes there's a relationships that work, like truly work.

281
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: Who did you do that with? Um? So I found

282
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: myself just going out like obviously I was getting to

283
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: know Carl and you know, I was getting to know Chasing,

284
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: And I don't think that in real life necessarily those

285
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: are going to be the first people that I would

286
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: have been drawn to. Like if you've had a room

287
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: with people and I got to know them and it

288
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: was great getting to know them and Unfortunately it didn't

289
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: work out, but I love the experience because it still

290
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: taught me, you know, keep an open heart, give people

291
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: a chance, because you just never know. It might just

292
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: be the one. Like look at Thomas and Becca. Who

293
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: would have thought? Who would have thought? Who have thought?

294
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: Who would have thought? That's all I could say about that.

295
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: That's great, that's that's crazy, But I love it. I

296
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: love them together and talk about happiness. You know, exactly

297
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: who did you tell producers that you wanted to see there?

298
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: What's actually hilarious is I think that Brendan was one

299
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: of the people I wanted to see there, and I

300
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: told them repeatedly. I was like, well, brend did Brendan?

301
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: And I didn't know anything about the man. I just

302
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: saw like his patron. I was like, oh my gosh,

303
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: she's so cute. Other than that, I was pretty much open.

304
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: I was like, well, I think, I said Tyler Cameron.

305
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: That was like a really just a shot in the dark. Um, yeah,

306
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: I think those are the two people. And then other

307
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: than that, I was like, I just want to I'm open,

308
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: like I don't really necessarily have to see anyone, So yeah,

309
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: those are the two people, and it's just funny everything

310
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: played out with that that little situation. Yeah, well they're together.

311
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: They're together now, aren't they? Right? So together? Do you

312
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: keep in touch with either of them? Or was it

313
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: really truly that bad of blood? No? I mean I

314
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: never knew Piper ever personally in real life, and Brendan

315
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: I talked to you like on the first day and

316
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: after that. No, So no, I don't happy for them,

317
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: Like if they're happy and then good, I'm glad it

318
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: actually worked out long term for them like that again,

319
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: kind of like a Susie and Clayton situation, like you

320
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: want to see people and that together their you're gonna

321
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: be together. What about Marissa and Riley? What happened there?

322
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: Do you know anything? I mean, as her best friend,

323
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: Like I was gonna say, like like I don't pretend

324
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: like you don't like really know anything, because like you

325
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: may don't want to share, but I'm sure you know

326
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: the whole damn story, right, that's her best friend. I mean,

327
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: I definitely saw the relationship, but I just don't think

328
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: she hasn't really talked about it, so I wouldn't want

329
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: to like discuss she wasn't talking about it publicly. Yeah, exactly. Okay, alrighty,

330
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: then well after this, we're going to go into a

331
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: Bachelor headlines get some of d'andrew's thoughts. But first we've

332
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 1: gotta take a break Bachelor headline time. This one just

333
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: came out like an hour ago. Michelle Young to host

334
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 1: Bachelor Happy Hour podcast. Michelle is taking this seat at

335
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 1: the podcasting table. According to The Hollywood Reporter, she will

336
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: be co hosting this with Becca Koufrin. She says she's

337
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: excited to share her perspective on the franchise and to

338
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: keep it real for the passionate fans of Bachelor Nation.

339
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: She can't wait to kick it off with Becca next

340
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: week and they're going to dive into the twist and

341
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 1: turns of the upcoming seasons together. Her first official episode

342
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 1: of being the co host will be on March twenty two,

343
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 1: which is, uh, well tomorrow Tuesday. Do you think Michelle

344
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: is gonna do a good job at podcasting. I feel

345
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 1: like she is going to do an awesome job because

346
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: she doesn't really hold back on the opinions, but she

347
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: like has it. She gives him a very tactful manner.

348
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 1: You know it won't be too harsh. I agree with that.

349
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: I think that she's going to make a great host

350
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,640
Speaker 1: for the Bachelor podcast. I think that she's really well spoken,

351
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: she has a person there, so I think it's gonna

352
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,360
Speaker 1: be perfect. Becca so well spoken, one of those girls

353
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 1: from the franchise where I'm like, could I just be

354
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: as articulate and express what I mean as eloquently as

355
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: you do? Right, And I'm just here like blah blah blah,

356
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: like like, um, it's definitely relatable. But I think I

357
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: have a really great dialogue that is also really well spoken.

358
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,360
Speaker 1: But Becca has so much personality too, and I love

359
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: it because I think that would be like a really

360
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: great pair. Definitely all right. Well. In Clayton's big press

361
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,239
Speaker 1: tour last week, he said he no longer believes that

362
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: he was in love with all three finalists. He says,

363
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: looking back at it all, in those moments, I believe

364
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: of did I really did believe I was in love

365
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 1: with them when I was there on the show? Um,

366
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 1: But as I've now taken time to reflect and look back,

367
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: I believe that I got to the point where I

368
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: was falling in love with everyone, but then I got

369
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,640
Speaker 1: to the point where I was only in love with Susie. Now,

370
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: I only think you can be in love with one person,

371
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: but you can fall for many, but you can only

372
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 1: be in love with one. Uh. Then he continued to say,

373
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 1: and that's where I made a mistake. I was confused

374
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: on the show. I believed what I would believe, that

375
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: I was in love with multiple women. Since then I

376
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: realized I don't think I was. I think this was

377
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 1: an inevitable realization. Absolutely. I think that it was funny

378
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: because I think it was Gabby after the final rose

379
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 1: that asked Clayton shirt up, like what does love mean

380
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: to you with either Gabby or Rebecca or Rachel? Sorry? Um,

381
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:53,959
Speaker 1: that was like, like what is your definition of love?

382
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 1: What does love mean to you? Because love means something

383
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: to everybody differently. And he was like, well, I think

384
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: that him telling the women that he's falling in love

385
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: with him three women. I don't think it's possible to

386
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: be in actively in love with more than one person

387
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,199
Speaker 1: at a time. But that's just my opinion. What do

388
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 1: you think about that? No? I I also don't I

389
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:15,439
Speaker 1: don't think being in I don't think so. And I

390
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 1: don't even like the expression falling love versus being in love,

391
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: which I've said so many times in this podcast, is

392
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:25,479
Speaker 1: such a bachelor ism, Like you would never distinguish between

393
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: the two in real life. I feel like in real

394
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: life you do. You have like two separate days in

395
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: which you're like, hey, guess what girl I'm dating, I'm

396
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: falling in love with you, and then like a month later,

397
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: you don't say I am in love with you, right?

398
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: Don't you just say like I love you? Right? I

399
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,679
Speaker 1: think that you can have love for a person be

400
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: like this person is amazing, They're great, which is probably

401
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 1: how he felt about Gabby and Rachel, like I think

402
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,919
Speaker 1: these people are amazing, like I could potentially love you.

403
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: But he was falling in love with Susie, like on

404
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: a deeper level totally. So I think that he confused

405
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: that feeling and I'm sure it was like pressure for

406
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: him to communicate how he felt and he probably didn't

407
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 1: know how to articulate at that time without disappointing them.

408
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: But you can't tell You can't tell a woman that

409
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 1: you're falling in love with her and not expect her

410
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: to be like, oh my gosh, I'm the one. Yeah.

411
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: Well he learned, and that's like the whole thing that

412
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: We're really happy for Clayton is that he learned a

413
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 1: lot of things through this season. Absolutely, he's never gonna

414
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: forget it. Another Clayton headline which makes me all cringe,

415
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,199
Speaker 1: very awkward. Um So, do you remember I don't know

416
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,120
Speaker 1: if you watched this episode, but a couple of weeks ago,

417
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 1: Susie and him are doing something on a day and

418
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: she said something along the lines of, we're going to

419
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 1: find out if Clayton likes to be choked. Do you

420
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:49,360
Speaker 1: remember this? Um So, I didn't personally watch that episode,

421
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 1: but I've heard about it. Okay, Well, they're kind of

422
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: playing on this. There's a picture that has gone viral

423
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 1: now of Clayton in bed with presumably Susie's hand around

424
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: his neck, and as everybody is like losing their their

425
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: marbles over the photo online, Clayton responds in like up

426
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: and down letters like have lower case, have upper case,

427
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: as if like he's supposed to be like, oh my god,

428
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: it says we literally know nothing about this guy dot

429
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: dot dot. Well, now you do? I think that he

430
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: played that really well? Okay? He like us to like

431
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: make a situation that could potentially be like cringe e.

432
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: The response totally putting the picture out there. I don't know.

433
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. I saw the picture and I thought

434
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: it was like a leak, like another woman, like someone

435
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: posted a picture and I didn't realize like it's Susie.

436
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: Like wait, So I'm not sure if I would have that.

437
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:01,479
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the picture now, so that's why I'm

438
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: like looking down. But I see that. I I cringe

439
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: an see the humor. At the same time, I've done

440
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 1: so many things publicly that are so cringe. I can't

441
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: even speak on behalf of this. This is no cringe

442
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: compared to what I've done, So have fun, guys. Uh.

443
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 1: Colton Underwood on advice he'd give Bachelor Clayton Eckert, he says,

444
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: just make sure you have a good therapist. My initial

445
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 1: piece of advice, he says, would be to have a

446
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: good therapist talk invent to them because unfortunately, in the

447
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 1: position of being a lead on ABC show, especially like

448
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 1: The Bachelor, you can't trust a whole lot of people.

449
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: He says, I really hope that Clayton has a good

450
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: support system buy him, especially after the show. Hope he's

451
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: doing well. I hope all the girls from a season

452
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: are in a good place because the show can be

453
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: really a really tough place or some people. I mean,

454
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: I'd say I think that's probably pretty good advice, absolutely,

455
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 1: especially after a season. I'm again, I'm just a reader, right, Like,

456
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: so many people have felt so angry towards Clayton and

457
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 1: like have like given him so much crap and almost

458
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: steel bad for the man. I'm like, well, yeah, it

459
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,120
Speaker 1: sucks because he kind of put himself in a situation

460
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: where he treated certain women a certain way. This is

461
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,679
Speaker 1: a response that people want to give him, but at

462
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: the end of the day, they have to realize, like

463
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: we are humans, Like you have to make mistakes. You

464
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 1: just happen to make ours on national television versus someone

465
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:24,719
Speaker 1: who does this in real life and no one ever

466
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 1: knows about it. I love reminding people of that. It's like, you, guys, please,

467
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: if you're on TV dating five plus women, what don't

468
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: tell me you wouldn't mess up a many times? Why

469
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 1: I can't even remember three people's names, so imagine having

470
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: to remember thirty people's names. Oh, oh my god, it's

471
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: so embarrassing. I still forget some of my of Jared's

472
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: cousins names, Like I'll be at a family union. I'll

473
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 1: be like Jared, what's that cousin's name again? I know

474
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 1: I've met them five times already, but I don't remember.

475
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 1: I'd be the worst bachelor at this headline is so interesting.

476
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: Jason tart I quit his job after Caitlin Bristo talked

477
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: about their sex life. Okay, this is juicy stuff, he says.

478
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 1: On a podcast, Caitlin talked about their first hook up,

479
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: which in which they were fully clothed. He goes, Caitlin

480
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: made a funny confession on one of our podcasts about

481
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: the first time we hooked up in which we were

482
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: fully It was a fully closed, intimate moment. He's told

483
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: page six this. So he said that that reveal put

484
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 1: him in the position where he had to restart his

485
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 1: entire career outside the bank, or he had to restart

486
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 1: his brand within the bank. This is what his boss

487
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 1: said to him. No more social media, no more podcast,

488
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: and no more side hustling. Nothing. And so as a

489
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 1: result of that, like ultimatum um, he decided to quit

490
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 1: his job. I mean, yeah, if I were in Jason's

491
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: case situation, if I was in Jason's position there, I

492
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: would also quit my job because I mean being a

493
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 1: Bachelor's star, and I mean like he was with when

494
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: once he was with Caitlin, especially like he had so

495
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: many opportunities at his fingertips. Of course he's not with

496
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 1: Caitlin because of that, but just like you know, it

497
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: upped his star and his um what is it like

498
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: his cloud, right, so he was probably getting more money

499
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: offered from all these outside sources, and he was even

500
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: getting at his job. I mean, I'm just assuming here.

501
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: I just think it's crazy though, because like being in

502
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: a corporate position, whenever you're on the Bachelor, like related

503
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 1: to any reality television show, I feel like there comes

504
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: a time where it's like you have to choose between

505
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: you know, being a part of the show, being a

506
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 1: part of the people of the showing on things, being

507
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 1: a real person, and your job. And like even I

508
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 1: still experience that being in the corporate world. Still, it's

509
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 1: like having like doing podcasts and like talking about personal things.

510
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: I'll like hear coworkers talking about them, like it's hard

511
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,479
Speaker 1: to separate and at some certain point, like you have

512
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 1: to leave if they're giving you an ultimatum. I don't

513
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: think it's fair to be like, hey, be a person

514
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 1: or pick the bank and told him so, I don't

515
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 1: think that's fair, but hey, it wasn't for him, then

516
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: yeah it's not. It's not necessarily fair. I guess I

517
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,199
Speaker 1: understand where the boss was coming from. I think it

518
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 1: seems harsh the way that he put it. It's kind

519
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 1: of like, I mean, you might know with Riley, right,

520
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:38,120
Speaker 1: if he's a lawyer, and sometimes if like you see

521
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,120
Speaker 1: your lawyer's personal life play out on TV, you see

522
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 1: your lawyer sucking whip cream off of his girlfriend's toes,

523
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: it is hard to take him seriously in the courtroom,

524
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: I would say, or some people that take him seriously.

525
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: This is so interesting though, because it's like the same

526
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,439
Speaker 1: people who work at a bank or like working corporate

527
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: offices once that five o'clock hits and they go home,

528
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: are completely different people. And like, yeah, it's not on

529
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 1: national television, but it's like it's the same people you

530
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: might see in the clubs are the same people that

531
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 1: might have these alternate because we're all human that it's

532
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: so true. It's like, Okay, are you not allowed to

533
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 1: go to a bar? Right? Are you not allowed to

534
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 1: make out with somebody in a bar and be seen

535
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: it doesn't make any It makes sense to me, but

536
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: it doesn't because at the same time, when it comes

537
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: time to be professional, as long as you can be

538
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 1: professional do your job, as long as it's not so

539
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: crazy like you're doing illegal things and like harmful things,

540
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: it just doesn't really make sense that you have to

541
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 1: like completely shield the rest of your life. And I

542
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: enjoy life to be professional. Stone Like, look at Kelly

543
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: flant again. I love thee I would trust her to

544
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: be my lawyer, and I see exactly and I see

545
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: her live her life as a normal person, obviously on

546
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: social media, and I would still trust her because when

547
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: it comes time to do her job, she's going to

548
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: do her job and she's going to do it really well.

549
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: That is the best example ever. Thank you DeAndre. That

550
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,240

551
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: be my lawyer. She's a boadass. Yes, alright. Next headline

552
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: is not really headlining, but if their information, um, it's

553
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: like a fun tidbits. So this is everything you need

554
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: to know about New Bachelor at Gabby and everything you

555
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: need to know about Rachel. It's not everything we need

556
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: to know, but that's the headline from people Okay. First off,

557
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: Gabby bullet point number one was an NFL cheerleader. She's

558
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: actually an Illinois native, but she considers Denver her home

559
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: after moving there when you know, moving there permanently after

560
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 1: graduating from the University of Colorado Colorado Springs. She's professionally

561
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: cheered for the broncos Um. Gabby works as a nurse.

562
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: She's an ic you nurse, and she's a history making

563
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: when they said because she was honored for her work

564
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: as a regis their nurse during the COVID nineteen pandemic

565
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: and became the first woman to receive the Pop Warner

566
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: Humanitarian Award in I don't know about that award, but

567
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: it sounds like she's also a badass. Right, Let's say

568
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 1: this is an interesting tidbit and now and now that

569
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 1: I read this headline last night, I was like, wait

570
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: a second, is this Gabby did he? This is going

571
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: to rock Batchelor nations world if they're not already aware

572
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: of it. She dated dated quote quote Blake and Dean

573
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: Dean Ungler Black Horseman. But the thing is he didn't

574
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: really date Blake. She said that like she like she goes,

575
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: there were no there was no actual dates. There were

576
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 1: no drinks paid for, no dinner paid for. He's definitely

577
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: friends with the friends. We spent time together, but no

578
00:30:56,080 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: official dating, no exclusivity. However, on the other side of this, Dean,

579
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: she dated dated over ten years ago, was one of

580
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: her first loves. Said, it was so long ago. It's

581
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 1: a distant past from my experience on The Bachelor. But

582
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 1: now then I started thinking about it when Dean and

583
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 1: I would hang out all the time before we had

584
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: our respective significant others, and I feel like I remembered

585
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: him talking about a Gabby. Now. May be starting rumors now,

586
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: but I feel like this was like a girl that

587
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 1: he had mentioned from his past a lot. You know

588
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: what's craziest. I feel like Chris Jenner works hard, but

589
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 1: the Bachelor franchise works harder. Seriously, We're up there absolutely

590
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: because finding Gabby, who dated Dean, I know, over ten

591
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: years ago, and then honestly, that's it's it's crazy. But

592
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: it's like with the whole you know Blake situation, it's like, well,

593
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: because you're everyone stated Blake, but just because you're seeing

594
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: with someone doesn't mean that you're dating. Right. Maybe they

595
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: went hung out, he didn't buy her drinks, It buy

596
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: her food. That's probably why they're not dating. Um, She's like,

597
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: that's I don't know. She's like, we had a moment

598
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: not at Stagecoach, but Coachella, and that's a whole other thing.

599
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: That was a joke. Okay, now everything you need to

600
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: know about Rachel Now, I want this tidbit to be

601
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: um clarified a little bit. Says she's a flight instructor

602
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: and a commercial pilot. But I thought that she was

603
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: in training. I thought that, like on her bio said

604
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: that she was in training. So we're gonna have to

605
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: find out about that. She's originally from Chicago, um, although

606
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: Florida is where she calls home now. Um, but she

607
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: still roots for like all the Chicago teams. Then, her

608
00:32:55,160 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: all time favorite snack is a flaming hot cheetos. I

609
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 1: love super interesting fact that is also Dean's favorite food.

610
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: So I mean, look at Dean popping up so much

611
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: with all these ladies. Literally, Rachel is a huge Harry

612
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 1: Potter fan, and she was also a cheerleader, although she

613
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 1: didn't cheer professionally, she um cheered for Ohio University, where

614
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: she attended school. All right, last headline Bachelor's Susie Evans

615
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: shares how she deals with hateful social media comments. She says,

616
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: picture this. I get a notification that someone tagged me

617
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: in a hateful comment. I go to their page to

618
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 1: block and see follow back. Uh yeah, you don't get

619
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: to both following me and harass me, she says. I

620
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: think that that is so funny. What is with people?

621
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: That's always what it is? Like you're you're never getting

622
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 1: the hate comments from somebody who doesn't follow you. What's

623
00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: crazy is I feel like it's almost like they just

624
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: want your attention. So like whenever someone sends a hate

625
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: message and this is like even happens to me previously,

626
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: once I respond, it's, oh my gosh, I'm so sorry,

627
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 1: Like I never meant it that way. Like it's almost

628
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 1: like a cry for attention, because who goes out of

629
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 1: their way to harass when they don't even know? Yeah

630
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: do you know me? You follow me? You don't even know? Right?

631
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 1: Fifty percent at the time, the person will either delete

632
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: the comment or they'll say something like that. Right, In

633
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: a sense, it doesn't make any sense. And we live

634
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,240
Speaker 1: in a world where we're so desensitized by social media

635
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: that we forget that we're real people. If you would

636
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:31,919
Speaker 1: never come up to me in a bar and say

637
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 1: that's my face, then don't comment it online at all. Yeah.

638
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 1: And it's always the people that it's like you go

639
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: to their profile and they see in the bio it's

640
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: like mama lover in a Bible verse literally lover her

641
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: mama and then a Bible verse and that's exactly it.

642
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, so, what's going on here? Like what Bible

643
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: are you reading with honey? I don't know. All right, Dandre,
