And yeah, 0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:08.360 I was traveling this past weekend for my wine line 0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:11.600 at some events, which was so so fun. So yeah, 0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:13.800 life's going good. I feel like we're starting to kind 0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:16.000 of pick up this new year and bounce around and 0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:19.480 just get going. How are you okay? Wait?

I'll definitely be checking back in next 0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:28.119 week with that one. But for me, things have been good. 0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:30.000 I feel like every time I hop, I'm about a 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:33.120 happy hour. I'm in a different state right now, coming 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:36.720 from Arizona, so I'm gonna be here for some super 0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:38.760 Bowl activities. And you said that you're going to be 0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:42.560 in the area tomorrow, right I'm also coming to Arizona. 0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:45.640 I feel like just going back to you being in 0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:47.280 a new state all the time. It's like, where in 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:50.240 the world is Carmen San Diego? That is you. I'm like, 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:54.040 where in the country is Michelle Young these days? But yeah, 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:59.360 we'll both be in Arizona for different fun things. It's 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:02.040 I didn't even realize, so, like, you know me, I 0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:05.800 don't watch sports, so I just out yesterday that the 0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:09.320 super Bowl is in Arizona. Also, the waste Management Tournament 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:12.280 is happening the same time, So it is going to 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:15.360 be crazy town. And I mean you're there early, like 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:19.960 is it already starting to get like super busy there? Okay, 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:23.960 So I'm right now, I'm located like in old town Scottsdale. 0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:27.760 So the super Bowl tailgate, everything that's taking place is 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:31.079 legitimately in my backyard, like ten steps to the right, 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:33.920 and so it's pretty cool. And so last night one 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:36.560 of my girlfriends and I were just walking around and 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:41.160 it's like a ghost town, but with everything starting to 0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:43.919 be like set up, and so I'm sure in the 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:46.200 next day or two everything's going to start to get 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:49.079 a little bit more lively. But it's like this calm 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:50.919 before the storm. But it is going to be fun. 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:53.280 Like you said, waste management's going on, so there's a 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:56.279 lot of events going on with that. It's like Phoenix's 0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:59.760 own or Arizona's own super Bowl within a super Bowl, 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:10.440 and so it's gonna be a lot so much. Well, 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:14.400 it's so fun. Let's get into the episode really quick 0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:18.760 before Gabby hops on, what were your overall thoughts on 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:22.160 this week three? And like, do you have any predictions? 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:23.640 I know I asked you this last week of like 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:26.560 any standouts or people that you think are going to 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:29.680 make it through till the end. I can't even remember 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:32.519 what I responded with or who I responded with last week, 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:35.960 because I do feel like it changes so quickly, like 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:39.440 there is That's just how Bachelor World works. When you're 0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:41.320 in it, and when you're watching it, at one minute 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:43.960 you can absolutely like, yeah, this is the person, and 0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:46.880 then it can completely get flipped around. But I'll say 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:51.320 that Charity. I feel like Charity is just so genuine. 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:54.200 I feel like she's gonna make it so far, She's 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:57.320 like my number one right now. She's who I want 0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:00.840 to make it to the end. But if she doesn't 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:03.800 end up with Zach or if that's not the right, 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:08.240 if it's I'm calling it now. Yeah, And I'm not 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:10.880 calling it in the sense of like I'm predicting it. No, 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:14.880 she needs to be the Bachelorette, like I'm nominating her. Yes, 0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:20.279 I stand by that. I really enjoy her. And and 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:22.919 this week when I was so happy she got that 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:25.880 group date rose, but then when Christina kind of stole 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:29.000 that moment, I was like, nobody makes my baby cry. 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:32.120 I was I had like this like guard dog, like 0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:34.760 mama bear mentality for her where I was like, that 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:38.719 is not okay, and so um yeah, I agree though 0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:41.680 she's really standing out to me. I'm trying to think 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:45.120 of who else right now. I mean, like just right 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:48.680 off of dates, I think he's very into Katie. I 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:51.159 think that they are both like fair. They have like 0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:56.440 a very similar mentality and like way of doing life. 0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:59.200 It seems like like approaching conversations, like they're very both 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:04.719 like even and keeled, like very chill, kind of calm, 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:10.919 like very similar demeanors, right in a genuine way. Yeah, Katie. 0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:13.600 I think just like Katie seems like chill and fun 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:17.360 and like honestly, like just as a viewer, I feel 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:19.480 like if Katy and Zach were to meet out at 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:22.719 a bar away from the television show, they would actually 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:25.559 hit it off and like be interested in one another 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:28.039 and want to pursue one another. It just seems like 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:31.520 that kind of fit. Okay, I have to jump back 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:34.159 and ask you this question. At the beginning of the episode, 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:39.720 there was this quick overnight Yeah, what were what was it? 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:41.520 What were your thoughts when you're watching that? Because when 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:44.039 I was watching this, I was like, if I was 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:46.479 on the day, it'd be like that's amazing, But then 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:49.760 back home. What a way to just totally get a 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:52.680 massive mind fuck already so early in the process. I 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:58.839 would have been pissed. I I would have died for 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:03.080 that date at the museum. I would have loved it. 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:06.719 Do you did you throw back to old school books 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:10.200 and movies? Did you ever watch or read the night? 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:13.760 It was like, no, like the mixtup files of Basily Frankweiler. 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:16.560 I have no idea what that is. I've never heard 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:20.359 of that. Wait, wasn't the mixtup file something basilely Frank Weiler? Okay, 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:24.200 if please DM me, if you know what I'm talking about. 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:26.000 It was a book. They made it into a movie. 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:29.279 It's basically about this brother and sister who run away 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:31.880 from home. They go and live in this museum for 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:35.320 a while. They like sleep in Marie Antoinette's bed, and 0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:37.719 they like have to bathe in the fountains that are there. 0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:40.080 Only it was like one of my favorites. My sister 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:42.159 and I would go to the library and rent it 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:44.640 all the time. But that is what I'm picturing. When 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:46.640 they had this date, I was like, this is my 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:51.120 childhood dream. I would have loved this date and honestly, 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:54.240 like the sleepover part. Here's what I'm thinking, And maybe 0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:55.799 it's just because I know, like the ins and outs, 0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:58.800 they probably got thirty seven minutes of sleep, like they 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:03.000 probably filmed for along. Production was probably like okay, take 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:04.719 a little nap and we got to get back to 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:06.640 the house at like eight am. Like they probably think 0:07:06.680 --> 0:07:09.359 they actually got any but right, because but like in 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:12.640 fantasy fantasy suits, like you really don't sleep that much. 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:16.240 What I'm curious about, though, is like do you think 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:19.440 they actually got any off camera time together like you 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:22.680 do in fantasy suits. I'm sure they got a little bit. 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:27.080 I'm sure they did, just because, like, let's be honest, 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:29.119 like their crew needs to sleep and take breaks too, 0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:32.360 So I really don't think like I don't and I 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:33.880 don't think it was like long, and I'm sure there's 0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:36.000 people like kind of around still outside of the tent, 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:39.560 but I don't think. I don't think they were like 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:42.880 somebody was in their tent with them the entire time. 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:46.440 But yeah, okay, but I also want to ask you 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:49.840 about one more thing too, So you mentioned problematic behavior, 0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:51.960 So we need to just bring up this really quick 0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:56.440 before Gabby hops on. But the whole Christina situation between 0:07:56.440 --> 0:08:00.040 not only Brianna but some of the other girls. We 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:04.120 see like little comments throughout the episode, like little digs, 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:08.600 little I think, just moments that she gets under people's skin. 0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:11.640 What were your thoughts on that and were you surprised 0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:14.080 that Zach actually ended up sending her home when he did, 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:16.160 and like didn't just keep her around another week to 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:19.360 see what would happen. Yeah, I honestly, you and I 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:22.440 have kind of spoken about how we thought, yeah, or 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:25.160 we thought Christina was just, you know, like gonna be this. 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:28.840 She's funny, She's she's the one talking about all these 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:32.839 things with the off camera like shots or not off camera, 0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:35.520 but she's she's the one that was in the bloopers 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:38.920 or just like the little after conversations once the credits rolled, right, 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:42.480 like that's where we really solid of personality. But I 0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:45.760 will say that after this last episode, it very much 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:47.920 comes off as like read the room, like let's be 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:53.080 considerate about other people's feelings, and so it's already uncomfortable. 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:55.120 You have to talk about different details of the date, 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:58.120 like that's how the show works. It's really awkward as 0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:00.360 it is, and a lot of times I can see 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:05.600 that there's almost oversharing where it's you can answer a question, 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:09.920 but you also don't have to continuously bring your like 0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:13.640 relationship to the forefront and wave it around in everybody's face. 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:15.440 And that's what at this point I felt like was 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:19.880 being done. And so for me, I'm like, yeah, I 0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:24.719 don't like that. It's it's it gets old, it's uncomfortable. 0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:28.680 And even in that whole situation where Charity got this 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:32.080 group date Rose and then the whole moment was completely 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:35.840 just wiped out, you know, where she expected everybody's support 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:38.960 when she came home from meeting Zack's family on the 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:41.680 one on one and she the girl supported her and 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:45.040 listened to her and for her too. Then take someone 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:47.040 out after they get a group date Rose, It's like, 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:51.840 you can't ask people to support you, and then you 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:55.319 come and pull this moment away from somebody else. I 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:58.079 didn't like it. I didn't That's not how I roll. 0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:01.120 So I was happy to see that zaccent Or. But 0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:06.880 I also will say that Zach really is eliminating anybody 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:10.120 who's problematic or if he really doesn't see a future, 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:13.880 he seems to have a strong gut reading. Yeah, and 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:16.439 to let him go pretty early on which is his 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:19.720 decisive I will say like I actually appreciated that because 0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:21.680 I was like, we don't need to keep her around, 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:23.640 especially if, like you know, she's it's not just a 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:25.760 one time instance. It's not just what one person, it's 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:31.000 with multiple I totally respect that decision, and also like 0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:32.640 the I think the thing that really rubbed me the 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:34.760 wrong way was the whole charity situation where she's like, 0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:37.800 that's weird. I don't understand it. I wanted to go 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:40.119 through the screen like it's not for you to understand, 0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:43.960 Like this is Zach's journey. He's the one here trying 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:47.080 to find somebody, and if she's not seeing these other 0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:49.760 conversations with other women, so you don't have to understand it, 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:52.400 but you don't have to take away and shine such 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:55.840 a negative light to somebody else. Like let that girl 0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:58.720 have this moment, like it's very fleeting in this Boucher 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:00.840 world because so many other group dates come out and 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:03.640 it's just there's so much transition that I was like, 0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:06.640 let her just appreciate it and just close your mouth 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:09.080 at some points, like things are funny and it's okay 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:11.320 to be loud and boisterous but there are also times 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:13.840 we're just like you said, read the room, take a 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:18.199 step back. But you know, actually, that's why I'm excited 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:21.960 to bring Gabby on, because she lived with everyone, she 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:23.880 witnessed all of this, so I do want to just 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:26.200 pick her brain and see kind of like not that 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:28.160 there was size, but just kind of see like her 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:31.800 take on things and if it did seem as heightened 0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:33.960 as it was like during that pool party. So I 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:37.320 think with that we should just bring Gabby on right now. 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:48.800 Absolutely well, welcome Gabby to Happy Hour. Obviously this is 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:51.040 your first time hopping on here. Have you done any 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:54.840 other podcast before? I've never done a podcast, so thank 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:57.040 you for having me. I apologize if I have any 0:11:57.200 --> 0:12:01.880 nervous shitters, but I'm super excited helping her and it 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:04.000 totally girl chat. But for those who are listening, can't 0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:07.000 see this right now, Gabby is in the middle of 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:10.080 her work day and she's in her office. Correct. I 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:14.559 love this though. I love a focused queen. That's amazing. Yep, 0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:18.560 the grind doesn't stop. So here we are. She came 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:21.480 in hot professional with the blazer. We love a good 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:26.480 blazer look. So just to start, Gabby, catch us up 0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:30.079 on how you're doing. How has it been watching yourself 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:32.400 back on TV. I'm sure it's kind of weird and 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:37.960 unsettling at times. Yeah, it's, Um, it's been kind of funny, 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:40.480 um because I remember how I felt like a doll 0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:42.720 can relate to this, like how you feel in the 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:45.880 moment versus watching it on TV all back you like, 0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:51.040 it's totally different. Um, but it's kind of funny. I've 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:53.560 been watching with my close friends and they just kind 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:55.720 of chuckle at me and they're like, now you're being 0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:58.840 so yourself, and I'm like, well, that's that's all you 0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:01.840 can be. So I mean, it's been really positive at 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:04.520 least for me and my experience so far. So it's been. 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:08.520 It's been weird but exciting. I think that's one of 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:11.600 the best things though, is a lot of people get 0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:16.360 negative reactions, like internal negative reactions watching it back, because 0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:18.600 the camera can kind of be or the show can 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:20.480 kind of be a mirror sometimes and if you lose 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:23.240 your way while you're there and you're not yourself, then 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:25.600 you when you're watching it back, you're like almost not 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:29.360 necessarily cringing, right, but you're like uncomfortable. Whereas I love 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:32.400 that hearing that your friends and just like the people 0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:34.640 around you and yourself are like, okay, I'm totally I 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:38.240 was totally one hundred percent myself. Yeah, I didn't want 0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:42.680 to have any regrets, and you know it, it felt 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:44.640 weird at first, and it took me a long time 0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:47.240 to like not a long time, a long time in 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:50.959 Bachelor World to get used to the cameras being around. 0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:53.960 And I think that you can really see that, and 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:56.520 I know, like it's kind of like people are joking 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:59.160 on the internet, like Gabby how to come back in 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:03.360 the last episode. But it took an adjustment for me 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:07.080 to like be okay with the cameras there, and like 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:10.440 I was still being myself, but it was a lot 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:14.120 of stimulation and it was a lot to handle and 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:18.360 to process and to like regulate all my emotions. It 0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:20.600 was a learning curve in a really weird way. But 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:23.760 I feel like every side that people saw, people are 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:26.960 like callably, like Gabby's all over the place. Yes I am, 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:31.280 but it was all me so but it's real. Yeah, 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:35.680 And and like I'm I can understand the cameras and 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:37.920 just like the crew being around because it's a lot 0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:40.040 of people and like it's not until you step out 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:41.600 of the limbo of that night one where you're like, 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:43.760 holy shit, like I did not know what I was 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:46.920 signing up for. But not only that, Like also living 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:51.920 with twenty thirty girls is a lot too, so many 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:55.240 different personalities. It's hard at times, like especially right away 0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:59.240 to even speak and like I feel like you have 0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:02.080 a moment when they're so much going on. So I'm 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:04.880 sure that had a plane too, where there's just like 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:07.640 so many people, so many personalities, and of course like 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:10.600 trying to fight for the same guy. So I want 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:14.200 to know though, like getting on to Zach's season, were 0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:16.480 you a fan of the show before? How did you 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:19.800 get cast? Like what was that process for you? Yeah, 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:24.080 So before I went on the show, I actually had 0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:26.640 gone through a pretty bad breakup. I dated this guy 0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:31.360 for a few years and it was just it wasn't 0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:36.040 the most healthy relationship, and so the breakup was really 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:39.760 hard on me. I felt like I had invested a 0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:42.200 lot of my time and effort and energy into it, 0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:47.720 and coming out of it, I was heartbroken. And my 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:49.800 friends saw me like that and they were like, yeah, 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:53.240 you have so much to give. So they all nominated 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:56.280 me to go on the show. They're like, you'll be 0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:59.520 perfect for this. You have to like just at least try, 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:02.440 and I was like, okay, I'm not sure. But I 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:05.600 spent a lot of time investing in therapy and investing 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:09.600 in myself and healing, and obviously a healing journey, it's 0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:12.120 not you know all of a sudden you're healed. But 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:15.880 I knew what I wanted and I was able to 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:19.440 really discover that through therapy of like what did worthwhile 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:23.840 love look like to me? And obviously trying to find 0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:28.440 it myself didn't really work out, and so I went 0:16:28.480 --> 0:16:31.440 on the show. I didn't I'd watched a few seasons, 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:34.640 but I didn't. I'm not like a diehard Bachelor fan, 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:37.600 but my sister loved a Bachelor. She always would watch 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:41.040 with my grandma, which is really funny. So she was 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:44.480 very supportive of me going on the show. And she 0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:46.280 was like, yeah, but you just you gotta do it. 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:49.760 And so I was definitely nervous because I had been 0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:54.360 so heartbroken, but you know, like you can't just stop 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:58.240 trying in life. So I put myself out there. I 0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:00.200 couldn't believe it when I got the call, like, hey, 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:01.280 we want you to be on the show. I was like, 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:05.080 wait what, Um, I wasn't expecting that, but I'm so 0:17:05.680 --> 0:17:08.840 so grateful that I that I went through with it. Well, 0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:12.720 we're incredibly happy that you also said yes, because then 0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:15.000 we can get to watch you on our screens every week. 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:18.560 So you get here, you get to the Vaschelor Mansion, 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:23.080 it's night one, taking it from the top. You exit 0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:30.199 the limo, and you hand Zach maple syrup. Yes, Um, 0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:34.680 I thought us going differently in my head. Um first, okay, 0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:37.480 wait take us from what what? How did you want 0:17:37.480 --> 0:17:38.639 it to go or how did you see it in 0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:43.359 your head? First? Well, I consider myself kind of like 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:45.600 Buddy the Elf. If you guys have seen that movie, 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:48.840 I would assume um, and you know, syrup is one 0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:53.000 of the four main food groups. Um. And as a Vermonter, like, 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:55.760 my favorite thing to do is like take my friends 0:17:55.760 --> 0:17:58.879 who visit me to like maple syrup farm and have 0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:01.240 them tryal to syrup ups. And like, as a child 0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:03.919 growing up, going to the maple syrup farm and tasting 0:18:03.920 --> 0:18:08.600 the syrups was like my favorite thing to do. And um, 0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:10.639 I just felt like it was like a piece of 0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:15.159 home with me. And it's so sweet and delicious. I 0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:18.000 was not expecting him to not like it, but I 0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:21.000 thought he was gonna throw up. Honestly, I was, Um, 0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:23.560 I think you can hear me say like, I didn't 0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:26.159 like that face. Um, he did not like it? So 0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:30.040 well does he not like pancakes or waffles? Like? Does 0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:34.440 he eat them plain? Because I'm thinking like, like syrups 0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:37.480 not that like not polarizing of a thing to drink, 0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:39.479 Like if we're talking about like taking shots of something, 0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:44.359 you'd think that. I'm like, I didn't give you alcohol, 0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:47.320 Like I feel like this is like the win here. Um, 0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:50.480 but no, the preference I guess for people who aren't 0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:56.320 from you know, Canada or Vermont, it's fake maple syrups. 0:18:56.359 --> 0:19:01.800 So yeah, that was really just funny. So okay, wow, 0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:04.160 well so do you feel like you should have brought 0:19:04.200 --> 0:19:10.600 something for him to put the syrup on your lips? Yeah? No, 0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:12.440 I should just put it all over me. And they're 0:19:12.440 --> 0:19:16.160 like here, here you go, look it off here. Okay, 0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:19.280 so this man tries to syrup, he doesn't like it. 0:19:19.400 --> 0:19:22.359 You're not really sure how it goes. You get into 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:28.800 the whole night one and you didn't get to talk 0:19:28.840 --> 0:19:31.360 to him. Were you like holy shit, I'm going home 0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:36.199 because of maple syrup or what like. Honestly, what's syrup 0:19:36.400 --> 0:19:39.159 maybe was what might save me because I was like, well, 0:19:39.280 --> 0:19:42.359 he didn't like it, but he probably remembers it, so 0:19:42.640 --> 0:19:46.280 at least we have that. So I didn't get to 0:19:46.320 --> 0:19:48.479 talk to him, but I wasn't the only one who 0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:53.040 didn't get to talk to him. And you know, we 0:19:53.160 --> 0:19:55.639 had a fluid conversation when I first got out of 0:19:55.680 --> 0:19:57.480 the limo, and I was like, you know what, that 0:19:57.600 --> 0:20:01.160 was really easy. We spent like two minutes standing there 0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:02.879 talking to one another, and I was like, you know, 0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:05.000 some of these girls are only getting two minutes, So 0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:07.920 maybe it's not the end of the world. Maybe it's 0:20:08.040 --> 0:20:12.440 enough to keep you around. Um, but it was definitely scary. 0:20:12.520 --> 0:20:14.119 But I think you get to some point in the 0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:17.440 night and you're like, it's so you know, it's so 0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:20.480 late and I'm so tired. And I remember I wore 0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:24.600 my shoes all night long and they were aggressively tall, 0:20:24.680 --> 0:20:30.360 like probably like six or so inches. Terrible idea, um, 0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:33.720 not smart on my part, but I wore them all 0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:35.840 night just in case I would get a chance to 0:20:35.880 --> 0:20:39.959 talk to him. It didn't happen. Um, yeah, it was. 0:20:40.359 --> 0:20:43.800 It was stressful, but I just kind of remained hopeful, like, 0:20:44.119 --> 0:20:48.000 well maybe he'll remember me from the maple syrup who 0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:55.080 needs an energy drink? Okay, So how did you feel 0:20:55.119 --> 0:20:57.400 then standing at that rose ceremony, obviously not being able 0:20:57.400 --> 0:21:00.119 to chat with him? Besides that very first interaction, he 0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:01.880 does call your name, you do get a rose? What 0:21:01.960 --> 0:21:07.920 was that feeling? Like? Wow? Um, as you guys probably saw, 0:21:08.400 --> 0:21:11.159 my reaction was like, oh, like I wasn't expecting that. 0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:15.920 And then I walked over and um, yeah, I actually 0:21:15.960 --> 0:21:20.120 tried to grab the rose from him and that's yeah. 0:21:20.160 --> 0:21:23.239 And then I was like obviously, of course, Um, so 0:21:23.280 --> 0:21:26.399 I was surprised. I was surprised, like really eager and 0:21:26.520 --> 0:21:31.520 really excited. Um, but it was I knew I was 0:21:31.520 --> 0:21:34.760 with Like, as the names were getting called, there was 0:21:34.800 --> 0:21:37.280 other girls who hadn't talked to him yet, so I 0:21:37.400 --> 0:21:39.560 was hopeful. I was like, okay, like trying to do 0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:40.879 the math in my head. I was like, Okay, we 0:21:40.920 --> 0:21:45.159 have this many roses, this many girls haven't spoken to him. Okay, 0:21:45.200 --> 0:21:47.720 now two girls have been called we haven't spoken to him? 0:21:47.720 --> 0:21:49.560 Does that leave how many girls? I was like doing 0:21:49.600 --> 0:21:52.200 math in my head that didn't make any sense at all, 0:21:53.160 --> 0:21:55.760 but I was. I was pleasantly surprised when he called 0:21:55.760 --> 0:21:58.480 my name. Yeah, it was a key moment. I liked 0:21:58.480 --> 0:22:07.080
