00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 4: guess I'm a regular. It's just nice to finally see

00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot different dude you have.

18
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: When we interviewed you the first time, was there any

19
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 1: like inklings of like potentially being the next Bachelor.

20
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously, when I talked to you, I knew

21
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 4: how far I went, so I knew there was a

22
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 4: decent chance I was gonna get a lot of screen time.

23
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 4: But uh no, I mean for me, I'm I'm someone

24
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 4: doesn't go in with expectations.

25
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't try to like think of what's

26
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 2: coming next.

27
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 4: I was just at that moment we talked, was taking

28
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 4: thing days by and trying to see what it was

29
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 4: going to actually look like on screen. So yeah, I

30
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 4: wasn't quite there yet. I would love to say it was,

31
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 4: but I wasn't quite there yet.

32
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: And just because you're the bachelor, I still want my

33
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 1: tennis lessons.

34
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 2: We're going to make that happen for sure. I just

35
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 2: want to.

36
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 1: I want to check on that out. Okay, was like.

37
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 5: Before we podcast, I need to make sure I lock

38
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 5: in the tennis lessoner.

39
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 3: This is not happening.

40
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 4: I am positive I'll find my way in New York

41
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 4: and we will make that happen nice.

42
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 2: All right.

43
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: So this was a very hectic night. This was, you know,

44
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: essentially Charity in Dotton's night. But we see your dramatic

45
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: and very sad breakup. So why don't you just take

46
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 1: us back to that day and how that felt?

47
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean today it was.

48
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 4: It was very raw, like it's it's crazy to relive

49
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 4: that moment. I said it multiple times, but I truthfully

50
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 4: did like blackout.

51
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 2: I don't remember it that much.

52
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 4: So to finally see it on screen, to see me

53
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 4: that upset, it was tough. I honestly was more emotionally

54
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 4: and even thought it was going to be tonight because

55
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 4: the feelings and how I processed it, I felt pretty

56
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 4: confident that I knew what it was going to be like.

57
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 4: But to see me that just shrat and heartbroken was

58
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 4: really hard to watch.

59
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 5: It is crazy for anyone that's been on this show,

60
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 5: they can relate to this. You never have probably in

61
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 5: your LAFE. I remember thinking this, at least when I

62
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 5: was watching it. You've never watched yourself be so upset.

63
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 5: So sitting there like watching yourself cry and be heartbroken

64
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 5: and emotional is a surreal experience in itself of like wow,

65
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 5: like I lived this and now I'm watching this back.

66
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 3: I hope I'm not like rubbing salt in the woond.

67
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: It's just like.

68
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 3: It just really sucks.

69
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 4: You're right, though, because everyone has that feeling when you

70
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 4: first hear your voice on TV, you first see yourself

71
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 4: on TV. There's little things that you have, this kind

72
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 4: of out of body experience where you're seeing yourself like

73
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 4: this is kind of weird. But the serious emotions, the

74
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 4: actual vulnerability and something like that, that was the first time.

75
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 4: But you know, as I said multiple times, I knew

76
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 4: what I signed up for and I've gotten a lot

77
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 4: of time to sit with it, but it was wrong today.

78
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 2: I won't lie about it.

79
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: When you went to go down on one knee and

80
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: she stopped you, oh yeah, yeah, that sucks. But was

81
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: there any part of you that thought maybe she was

82
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: still gonna choose you like me, it was just like

83
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: her turn to talk, or you knew it was. When

84
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: she stopped you, it was over.

85
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 4: That was one of the last things I remembered was

86
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 4: when she stopped me.

87
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 2: And I had to be top. I wouldn't ask for

88
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 2: anyone to be in that position.

89
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, because I'm glad she's gonna let me actually pull

90
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 4: out the ring like she could have been a lot worse.

91
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 2: But no, she she I remember clearly.

92
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 4: She grabbed my arms and then I looked out to

93
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 4: this beautiful Fiji mountain and then it was just darkness.

94
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 2: Like then I was.

95
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 4: I knew she said so much, but in that moment,

96
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 4: as soon as she got me, I was like, it's

97
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 4: it's not me. She wouldn't have stopped me if it

98
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 4: was me.

99
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, So then she she sends you home, You're

100
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: in the sprinter van, whatever it is, what's going through

101
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: your head.

102
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 4: To be honest, you're an idiot kind of thing, and

103
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 4: that's just how I am in that moment, was how

104
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 4: do you let yourself get to this point?

105
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 2: I can't believe like you fully gave yourself.

106
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 4: But it was because in that moment, what I wanted

107
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 4: to be when I was with her was strong and

108
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 4: let her know like it was her day at that moment.

109
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 2: So when I got into the sprinter.

110
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 4: Van, what I felt was finally all the emotions I

111
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 4: was holding in was how like, how do you let

112
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 4: yourself get to this point and get your heart broken

113
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 4: on national TV?

114
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 2: Like that's the worst thing possible. But it was brief.

115
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,679
Speaker 4: It was just for that moment that I felt that way,

116
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 4: and then I really went back to appreciation.

117
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 2: But it was a human moment where I was like,

118
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 2: you idiot, why did you let yourself do this?

119
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: Wow?

120
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 5: I feel like that is so human, Like getting your

121
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 5: heart broken. Everyone kind of wants to punch themselves in

122
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 5: the face a bit of like how did I let

123
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 5: myself get my heart broken? But it really is just

124
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 5: something that you can't control, and like in that environment,

125
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 5: like it just shows that you really let yourself lean

126
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 5: into the process, which is a lot harder to do

127
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 5: than people realize is to really let yourself lean in.

128
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 5: And I think that's gonna be a good quality as

129
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 5: a bachelor.

130
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not gonna hold that in.

131
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna lie and say it was all appreciation,

132
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 4: like it hurt.

133
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 3: I was like, if you were sitting in that van,

134
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 3: I'm just kidding.

135
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, I appreciate her still, like that would be pretty wide.

136
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: One thing. Are you aware that one thing that Bachelor

137
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: Nation loves is a heartbreak?

138
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 2: Yes, I am fully aware.

139
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 4: I am, and it's it's yeah, it's the narrative now,

140
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 4: which is which is okay because it did actually happen,

141
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 4: and in that moment, I was just I was.

142
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 2: I was stunned.

143
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 4: I don't know if you could tell enough from tonight

144
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 4: and just the connection we had, but it wasn't in

145
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 4: any way other than me really thinking it was me

146
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 4: Like I remember walking up there and just feeling so

147
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 4: confident and it was there was no doubt how it

148
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 4: was going to end. So that was the first time

149
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 4: I was able to release that moment and be aware

150
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 4: that it.

151
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 2: Was finally over and that was not what was going

152
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 2: to happen.

153
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, you were wrong. So it's unfortunate, but looking forward,

154
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: we had some great news. You are the next batch.

155
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: How how when did they like when you got the call?

156
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 2: Yeah? How excited were you?

157
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 4: I mean, honestly, again, I was kind of in shock

158
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 4: when they told me. I knew it was a good possibility,

159
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 4: but I wasn't having any expectations.

160
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 1: So who did you think? Would you think there was

161
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: anybody competing with you for that role?

162
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 2: Yeah?

163
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 4: I mean I know, I know there was a buzz

164
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 4: online about like John b And truthfully, before Xavier had

165
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 4: his departure, I didn't really know as much about it

166
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 4: because I wasn't in it. So when I saw that,

167
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 4: I was like, Okay, that's a hard narrative to spin,

168
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 4: but I know how amazing a person Xavier is. Those

169
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 4: were the two that kind of at the top of

170
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 4: my head. And I loved Tanner Tans with my best friends,

171
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 4: So if I was thinking of guys from the season,

172
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 4: those were the three I know that got the most love.

173
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,119
Speaker 4: But and you know how Bachelor Nation works, they probably

174
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 4: have someone else always in the in the chamber ready

175
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 4: to fire, so they.

176
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 2: Probably I probably had someone else.

177
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 4: I have no idea, so I I just know that

178
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 4: nothing is concrete until they say it on the screen.

179
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 2: So I wasn't. I was not expecting anything. I was

180
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 2: just hopeful. Yeah, how how are you?

181
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 1: Friends and family taking it?

182
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 2: They're excited.

183
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 4: So my sister, I mean Carly, my older sister, my

184
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 4: younger sister, Ellie, my dad, they're all so excited for me.

185
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 3: My mom, Carle, Joey, Ellie. H three names that end

186
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 3: in why slash.

187
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 4: I we all have I don't know because we all

188
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 4: have very proper full names. Like my older sister is Caroline,

189
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 4: I'm Joseph, and Ellie's Eleanor do you have.

190
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: A middle name, Yeah, Joseph Michael, Joseph Michael, and Joseph Anthony.

191
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 2: Nice.

192
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 4: My fun thing about my middle name is actually named

193
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 4: after a girl. So my godfather's Joe, uncle Joe, so Joseph,

194
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 4: and then my my godmother's Michelle, so that's why they

195
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 4: came up with it. So it's really Joseph Michelle, but

196
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 4: we can't have that, so it's Joseph Michael.

197
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 3: That's so interesting.

198
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 5: I've never heard of someone being like, I'm going to

199
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 5: give you a girl's middle name and.

200
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 3: Just switch it to the closest thing. That's the dude

201
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 3: version they.

202
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 4: Tell me, that's what I'm going off. I heard that

203
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 4: story before, so I'm sticking with it.

204
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: How's Uncle Joe going to handle this? Is he gonna

205
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: come because when he dropped the bomb that are you

206
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: really sure you get the real Joe?

207
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 2: Let's go quick on it.

208
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 3: But yeah, yeah, okay, never mind.

209
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 2: We'll be fast.

210
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 4: The best thing I'll give you about Uncle Joe, he is,

211
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 4: as I said, my mentor, is someone I was extremely

212
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 4: close with, but he is always going to be one

213
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 4: of my biggest critics, like I am to myself. And

214
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 4: in that moment, he said to me personally, if he

215
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,119
Speaker 4: could have saw the season, if he could have actually

216
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 4: seen every episode, he would have never said anything like that.

217
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 4: He was holding on to what he saw in the

218
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 4: tennis court, and he's atern guy that sticks to his opinion.

219
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 2: And he was just like, are you sure you're being yourself?

220
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 4: Because I was awkward and he felt that correctly, but yeah,

221
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 4: he he just was he's happy with it now, but

222
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 4: he was just being a little tough.

223
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 5: That's interesting because he does know you so well. So

224
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 5: I think people did hear his opinion and go like, okay,

225
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 5: like this is someone super close to him like this

226
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 5: has weight to it.

227
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 3: But he was both right and wrong.

228
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 5: You were off and you maybe weren't being one hundred

229
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 5: percent yourself, but for not because you were on a

230
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 5: TV show and not like you were being like that

231
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 5: the whole.

232
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 2: Time for sure.

233
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: Okay, So, as the batchelor, what are you looking for?

234
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 2: Oh?

235
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 4: Such a good question, I really I keep saying it,

236
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 4: but it's truthful. I'm looking for my person, like yeah,

237
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,599
Speaker 4: And I know for me, as I've gotten older, I

238
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 4: realized that there isn't a type. It's more about a

239
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 4: personality and a type of person, and I just need

240
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 4: someone that's willing to really be open and taken on

241
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 4: life with me.

242
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 2: I want someone adventurous.

243
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 4: I want someone that's going to love every day and

244
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 4: try to make the most of it.

245
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 2: So I don't know what that looks like.

246
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 4: I'm one of those people that believe I'll know when

247
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 4: I see it, But I'm just really excited for the

248
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 4: idea that I might actually find that person.

249
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: Do you plan on staying in Hawaii right now?

250
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 2: Currently?

251
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 4: Actually, right before all this month started, I decided to

252
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 4: take a little bit of a break.

253
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 2: I'm living in Philadelphia.

254
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 4: Area with my sister Okay, So I moved out there

255
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 4: just to I knew this month was going to be crazy.

256
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 2: I didn't know if it was going to be what

257
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 2: it is now, and I'm very glad that I decided

258
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 2: to make that move.

259
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 4: But yeah, I just kind of knew that I needed

260
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 4: to take a break from Hawaii while I figured out

261
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 4: what all this was going to be.

262
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 2: So I'm currently in Philly, so taking a little break. Nice.

263
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 5: Nice, So let's break down tonight. Then tonight you were

264
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 5: announced as the Bachelor. Let's start with like, how did

265
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 5: that feel?

266
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 2: Again? Surreal? Like it's still sinking in by the minute.

267
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, in this moment, what are your thoughts on the

268
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: two women in the audience? And then only one of

269
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: them chosen?

270
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 4: I felt terrible, right, but it's I also am on

271
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 4: the side that it's probably good because for me for

272
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 4: this season in general moving forward, like I care a lot,

273
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 4: I think about other people, and for me, I was like,

274
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 4: that's I feel so bad for the other girl.

275
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 2: Leo was amazing. I can go on that forever. She

276
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 2: seemed awesome.

277
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 4: Can't wait for her to be on the season to

278
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 4: get to know her more. But I also know in

279
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:00,719
Speaker 4: this role, like you're some time is gonna have to

280
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 4: be like just thinking about yourself and being a little

281
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 4: bit more selfish, and I naturally would be.

282
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 2: So she seems amazing.

283
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 4: The other girl, I think your name was Ann, I

284
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 4: didn't really see her, an she seemed awesome. I don't

285
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 4: know if she'll still be on the season or what

286
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 4: will happen, but uh, yeah, all I can go off

287
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 4: is the girl I actually talked to and it seems awesome.

288
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 1: What do you think was in the card?

289
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 2: I don't know. That's kind of it's through me for

290
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 2: a loop. I like that they're trying to change things up.

291
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 2: I really do. But yeah, I was like, what are

292
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 2: we doing card? What does this mean?

293
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 3: We were like, girlfriend, like hold it up to the light,

294
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 3: like what is in them?

295
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 2: We can see something. She was funny though, she said

296
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 2: right away.

297
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 4: To me, she's like, these girls are gonna hate me

298
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 4: when I walk into this house, like.

299
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 2: She's aware of it already. That's that's a little bit

300
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 2: of a game changer. I was. I was like, you'll

301
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 2: be fine, it's okay, we'll be back.

302
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,599
Speaker 3: Oh, I'd be hiding that envelope I watched in the

303
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 3: house and like, no.

304
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 4: One needs you know, all those girls are probably watching

305
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 4: tonight too, are going to so they.

306
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 2: Know it's gonna be Yeah.

307
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 3: Wow, I didn't even think about that, to be honest.

308
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 3: That's crazy. That's gonna be a fun twist, a new wrinkle.

309
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 2: That's ever been on the show. I think it's exciting.

310
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 4: I hope it's not anything too crazy, but that's I

311
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 4: don't know what it is, so we'll see.

312
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: We'll see what charity. So charity ends up, you know,

313
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: having her fairy tale love story, she did fall in

314
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: love with two guys. Are you worried at all about

315
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: falling in love with multiple women?

316
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 2: One hundred percent?

317
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just truthful, I know from her side and

318
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 4: just how it was. She did such a good job

319
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 4: of really giving all of herself to the person she

320
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 4: was with, and I'm hoping to do the same that

321
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 4: I did really believe that what we had was just

322
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 4: for us. And I can see that just from this.

323
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 4: If you have a lot of amazing people and you're

324
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 4: giving all of yourself, that can happen. I don't know

325
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 4: how I'll navigate it. I don't know if I'll say

326
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 4: I love you to two people. That's something I won't

327
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 4: know to them. In that moment, but be careful.

328
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 2: I know, be careful.

329
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 4: I get it, I get it, trust me, I know

330
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 4: what it was from my side. When someone says it

331
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 4: to you, how much it does change your mindset. But

332
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 4: I can also be honest that I wouldn't have gotten

333
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 4: to the point to be able to get down on

334
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 4: one knee if she didn't say that to me. So

335
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 4: there's there's a there's both sides of it. And I

336
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 4: know she was just being honest and truthful to how

337
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 4: she was feeling and I couldn't ask for anything else.

338
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 2: So again, I don't I don't know. I'm hoping. I'm

339
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 2: not dropping a lot of I love you bombs, but

340
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 2: I can fall hard, so I gotta I gotta be careful.

341
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 3: My gosh, do you have any other big fears going

342
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 3: into the season.

343
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's natural in general to have a

344
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 4: fear of losing yourself in some way. I mean, this

345
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 4: is crazy, this is going to be something that no

346
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 4: one ever preps you for.

347
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 2: So yeah, just you know, staying present.

348
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 4: I think, I'm really that's my going to be my mantra,

349
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 4: and my goal through this is to consistently stay present.

350
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 2: And if I have a fear.

351
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 4: It's the lack of staying present, thinking too much ahead,

352
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 4: getting lost in all of it, and forgetting why you

353
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 4: actually are here. So that's really where I'm not worried

354
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 4: about it. It just that's where my head's at.

355
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 5: Well, maybe that's like something you end up looking for

356
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 5: and the girls is like finding someone that helps you

357
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 5: stay present. Yeah, is there anything else that may be

358
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 5: you're looking for in these women? Like I know you

359
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 5: said you don't have a type, but like going in

360
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 5: like specifically in.

361
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 4: This process, I obviously talked about the idea of someone

362
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 4: being adventurous, but I would also say someone that can

363
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 4: just kind of command a room, give you that sense

364
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 4: of comfortability. I want funny. I want fun I want

365
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 4: people not take things so serious. Yeah, I'm just looking

366
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 4: for someone that mirrors me very well but challenges me too.

367
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 4: I just I could go down a huge list of

368
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 4: things I would love in a woman, But at the

369
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 4: same time, it's I'll know, I know, I just will know.

370
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you can travel anywhere on this season, where

371
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: do you want to go?

372
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 4: I mean, I've been lucky enough to go to Europe,

373
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 4: but I would love to go again and anywhere in

374
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 4: Europe honestly, I've been to Italy, Spain, I've all those

375
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 4: different spots, but I would love to go through Europe again.

376
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 4: Asia has been on top of my list, like a

377
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 4: Tokyo a Japan type or something like that. And Australia

378
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 4: has been there for a bit for me too. I've

379
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 4: always wanted to go to Australia since I been a kid.

380
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 4: So that's obviously I just said like three of the

381
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 4: confidents in the world. But you know, yeah, because there's

382
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 4: a lot to travel too, so yeah.

383
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, take take note of that, please.

384
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 5: I gave a lot of Australia every.

385
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 2: Single place in Europe and then anywhere in Asia.

386
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: When you went on the Bachelorette, were you ready to

387
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: get engaged? Were some of that you thought.

388
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 2: You were there? Yeah?

389
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 4: I think if I'm being completely honest, I would have

390
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 4: to say, I don't know. My idea going onto this

391
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 4: show was it was like something I could I couldn't

392
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 4: pass up, Like what could this be?

393
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 2: What could come out of it? I don't know.

394
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 4: But if it was any chance of me finding my

395
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 4: forever person, that was the real thing that was driving me.

396
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 4: And I know personally I grew a ton through it

397
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 4: and had to look within and find out that I

398
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 4: really do want this. So by the end, I'm one

399
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 4: thousand percent sure that I was ready to get engaged.

400
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 4: But go going in, if I was on a line

401
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 4: detective test, I might have I might have banged the

402
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 4: wrong way because I was.

403
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: That's an honest answer. I think that's and I think

404
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: that's the right way to go into the show. I

405
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: think anyone that's like, I want to get engage right now, because.

406
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 2: You have to know the person. How can I say

407
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 2: I'm going to get engaged but I don't even know.

408
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 4: Charity was an idea at that time, and I didn't

409
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 4: know if our connection was going to be strong enough.

410
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 4: So the idea of getting engaged has to do with

411
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 4: the individual. It has nothing to do with where I'm at.

412
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: I agree, would you have gone on Paradise?

413
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 2: Hell no, no, I it's just me personally.

414
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 4: I am not interested in ever fighting over a girl

415
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 4: with multiple dudes again.

416
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's just me. I thought.

417
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 4: I I was so lucky with how our season went,

418
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 4: that the guys were so amazing. There was so much,

419
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 4: so many levels of respect that I thought I got

420
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 4: away with, Like, I know how it can be so

421
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 4: I was just I, Yeah, the idea of fighting over

422
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 4: a girl with multiple guys. Again, it worked for you guys,

423
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 4: and I've seen the success. It's not that I don't

424
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 4: believe it. I just me personally was not interested in that.

425
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 3: Again, No, that's totally fair. It's not it's not fair.

426
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 4: It works, there's been more, it's been as successful as possible.

427
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 4: You think I'm not watching my boys, I'm fully and

428
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 4: I cannot wait for this season. I got so many

429
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 4: of the guys that I care about deeper that are

430
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 4: going to be in it.

431
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna be fun. I'm excited for it.

432
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, it'll be it'll be a fun season. One more,

433
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hit you with, are you at all worried

434
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: about potentially falling for someone and her not being there?

435
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 2: Yeah?

436
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 4: I would probably add it to the list when you

437
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 4: ask things I'm afraid of, because, yeah, this ends with

438
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 4: two heartbreaks in a row.

439
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 2: Your boy's gonna be hurting for a bit.

440
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 3: We don't want that. We don't want that, we.

441
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 2: Don't want it.

442
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 4: But yeah, it's truthful that that's a possibility.

443
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 2: And I don't know.

444
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 4: I think love's reciprocated, so I don't think I'll be

445
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 4: feeling it unless someone else is bringing it to me

446
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 4: as well, So I'm hopeful that won't happen. But I

447
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 4: know from being on it how stressful it is towards

448
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 4: the end and how quickly.

449
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 2: That engagement comes, and there's a lot of emotions.

450
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 4: So it's going to have to do with the communication

451
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 4: and the honesty at that time and if we can

452
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 4: really get to that point.

453
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 2: But I'm open to try to work with whoever. I

454
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 2: think my person's gonna be awesome.

455
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 1: All right, Well, are you excited?

456
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 2: Thank Yeah, I'm excited. I'm yeah. I'd be crazy to

457
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:19,600
