Is that Hawkins? Hawkins? Hawkins? 0:00:26.079 --> 0:00:27.520 I know that was kind of more just to play 0:00:27.800 --> 0:00:30.080 a dig at Jared because he always asks guests how 0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:32.600 to pronounce the very obvious last names. Tomas Hawkins is 0:00:32.680 --> 0:00:38.280 joining us here in the Internet studio. UM, welcome, Tosh. 0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:40.199 How are you? It's gonna see you look great? Good? 0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:42.960 Thanks for having me. Yeah, we're stuck to have you. 0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:45.280 Were once we said once I saw the email that 0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:47.040 we landed you, I was like, no way, we just 0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:50.480 I gotta come on and talk to you guys. Yeah, 0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:53.960 definitely going. Um, so we just kind of talked about 0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:56.520 a little bit for the listeners out there that don't know. 0:00:56.800 --> 0:01:01.640 Taj was on Paradise? Was it season six? Since season seven? Yep? 0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:05.000 The last two seasons, the last two. Are we gonna 0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:07.679 see you on season eight? You will not see me 0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:11.840 on season eight? Um, I skipped out this year than it. Well, 0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:14.959 maybe season nine, I guess we'll see. Um, So Taj 0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:18.560 and I were on season six together. Even though I 0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:20.120 was there for a very short amount of time, you 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:22.240 were there for also a short amount of time, I think, right, 0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:25.320 very short, like you blinked and I was already gone. 0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:28.520 And what was your season seven experience like compared to that? 0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:32.760 I feel like it was definitely a lot longer. But 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:36.360 I really got some time on the beach, and so 0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:38.200 it was a It was a wild ride, to say 0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:42.480 the least. My favorite Taj memory is when it was 0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:45.640 nine five and degrees in a d percent humidity and 0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:48.720 Taj is in the pool eating spaghetti, screaming at producers. 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:51.640 I literally, I can't do it. The heat down there 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:56.720 is is atrocious spaghetti. It's pretty bad. It's my idea 0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:59.440 of a good time. Was it red sauce with spaghetti? 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:04.520 It was classic Italian that sounds pretty good. Looks isn't 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:06.280 gonna skip on the spaghetti if she's gonna eat it 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:09.639 in the pool of Mexico? All right? Um, I do remember, Yeah, 0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:13.800 I can't remember exactly what it was, but I just remember, uh, 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:15.760 I remember watching it back A was the best part 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:18.960 for me. But um, so, what's up with you now? 0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:22.239 You're living in Denver. You're a real estate agent. Yeah, 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:26.160 in Denver, living the real estate life and grind out 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:29.240 here helping people buy and sell homes. So you know, 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:31.320 Caitlyn and I are in the market to buy a 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:38.200 house around the Denver area. Yeah, well, yeah, Denver is 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:40.520 a great place. But you own a house outside Vegas. 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:42.440 You are also renting in l A. Now you guys 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:45.520 are thinking about buying another property in Denver. No, we're 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:47.280 going to drop the rental in l A. I think 0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:49.919 we're over it. You're over it, is Caitlin over it. 0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:52.520 That's more of the question. It's just like we're paying 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:54.600 three thousand dollars a month for a tiny apartment that 0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:56.560 we never spend any time in. So it just doesn't 0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:58.280 make sense for us. We're just loose, like we're just 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:01.480 hemorrhaging money basically with this. We want to build equity 0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:03.560 and something else. And we love Colorado. She's been out 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:07.600 there a few times. Um, but I don't know. We're 0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:09.040 trying to figure out where it's going to be. We 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:11.639 want to be in the mountains somewhere, but it's like 0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:13.360 kind of expensive to be in the mountains out there 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:16.840 right now it is. Um, well, I'll have my people 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:19.960 call your people and see I can help you out. Yeah, 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:22.240 that would be great. I hoo. Guess I was something nice? 0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:24.520 Give us like a fift discount. That's all we ask for. 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:27.840 I got you. Um okay, So you're in Denver, you're 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:29.680 working as a real estate agent. What part of town 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:32.560 do you live in? So I'm in downtown Denver, like 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:37.600 five points, uptown area, um, near Rhino, low High, Like 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:41.520 it's it's all a great, great area. Nice. I I 0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:43.760 follow that exactly, but it's just funny. I'm sure someone 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:45.360 listening to that that's never been to Denver is like, 0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:49.920 what is she saying right now? Low Dope but low High, Rhino, Yep, 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:53.920 River North, you know all these crazy names for parts 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:57.280 of town. Yeah. Um, Jared, I want to pivot real 0:03:57.320 --> 0:03:59.800 quick because this just came to my mind. Looking at 0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:02.840 you with a face, I haven't seen your Um, are 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:06.640 you watching Bachelor in Paradises here? I am, I'm keeping up. 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:09.400 And what did you think of Jared's co starring role 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:13.920 this pastia? I thought you and Ashley did a great job. 0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:18.960 Thank you. We had like four months Bachelor Nation mom 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:22.520 and dad on the beach. I think it was like helpful, right, 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:25.520 Like everyone who gets down there, they're like, I want 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:27.880 what you know all these couples have, and so I 0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:30.520 think it was a good example for people who were 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:32.720 on the Well, that's very sweet of you to say 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:34.960 they don't want what we had today. I was there 0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:39.120 was We're putting this stupid rug underneath the bed. I 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:41.039 had to get my dad over, and Ashley's trying to 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:43.520 help out because she wants this rug desperately underneath our 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:45.760 bed frame. But our bedframe we have, we have like 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:49.159 the the temp repedic, which is so nice and we 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:51.320 get to like elevating things like that. But I was like, 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:53.640 let's not put a rug underneath because I like the 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:55.560 hardwood floors. But she wanted the rug. And then we're 0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:57.000 going back and forth, and I think this thing was 0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:59.560 so frustrating because we everything we had to lift in parts, 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:01.520 and then the howuch we have is the exact same thing. 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:04.400 It's a long story, but Ashley is always like can 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:05.640 you do that? Can you do this? Can you do that? 0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:07.600 And I totally understand why she has to do this, 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:09.960 but like, obviously with work and I'm not feeling well. 0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:14.000 It's very stressful anyway, just like total marriage problems right there. 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:16.480 But going down to Paradise, it was quite fun going 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:19.039 down and like the coolest part was well not the 0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:21.000 coolest part, but one of the coolest parts was being 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:23.040 able to go down there and then witnessed all the 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:26.760 drama happening without being involved in the drama. We were 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:30.320 having our popcorn watching everything go down with no stress. 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:32.120 We were so excited at anytime a new cast proper 0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:37.919 would come in because we just wanted more more to watch. Uh, 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:39.359 it was fun. It was cool. And there was a 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:42.480 preview next week with our dates where we go jet skiing, 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:45.039 which is a lot of fun. There was a quick 0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:48.040 clip of me and a jet ski so that was fun. 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:51.479 And it was weird. It was I guess I won't 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:53.640 talk about it yet because it doesn't air until next week, 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:57.920 but uh, it was definitely weird and wonderful all at 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:02.080 the same time. And that's the that's that's about. Yeah, 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:03.880 it's a lot to unpack there. There's a couple of 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:05.920 things I want to touch on. Um, I love how 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:09.520 the first thing you mentioned. I love how it's Yeah, 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:11.760 I didn't want to rug, but I actually wanted a rug. 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:13.800 So anyways, a sword to us putting the rug in, 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:19.480 It doesn't matter because I don't care. She there are 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:23.040 certain things that I want to partake in. So for example, 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:27.040 when we're putting the family room together, she's she puts 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:29.920 everything together, and then she's like, do you like these pillows? 0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:32.640 And they said, yeah, they're fine. She's like, well, I 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:35.000 don't want something that you think is just fine. I 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:37.880 want something that you like. And I said, okay, I 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:42.120 like these. She says, well that doesn't fit with our scheme. Well, 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:45.240 then I don't care. It's the ones that I actually 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:48.200 like don't fit the overall scheme of the family room 0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:51.600 and I can't get them. Then get ones that you like, 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:54.080 and as long as I'm okay with them, I'm fine 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:57.800 with it. So anyway, then true true story. Went to 0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:00.120 home goods. This was like two weeks ago, maybe three 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:02.240 weeks ago, I can't remember. I went to home goods. 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:05.240 She says, Jared, I want you to pick up Oh, 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:07.480 it's hobby lobby. Hobby lobby. That's right. Went to hobby 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:10.440 lobby and it was a big Saturday. Went to hobby 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:12.800 lobby and we went to the Halloween Store and home depot. 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:16.800 It was a lot fast forward. We're in hobby lobby. 0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:18.960 She says, Jared, I want you to pick out anything 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:22.000 you want. It's going to go in the family room 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:26.040 and it's gonna be yours. I said, great. I'm looking around. 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:28.800 I'm pushing Dawson in the cart. I come across this 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:32.040 canvas map. It's the map of the world. It's black 0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:36.520 and white. It looks a little um like this. Similar 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:38.480 to that, Yes, similar to that, but it's more. It 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:43.240 was more beige. It looked more of uh pirates, like 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:46.840 a pirate smack X marks the spot. And I wanted it. 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:48.440 I wanted to put it up in the family room. 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:50.400 So I brought it over to Ash and said, here 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:51.640 we go. This is what I want. I think it's 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:54.200 gonna look really good in the corner overneath a little 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:57.800 cabinet that we have. It's gonna look great. She just 0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:00.960 stares at me for a good two to three seconds 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:03.400 with the fake smile. I know Actuley well enough to 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:08.360 know when she's faking a smile, and she goes, that's um, 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:12.280 that's nice, And I said, do you If you don't, 0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:16.240 I mean, I want this but if it's gonna, you know, 0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:20.880 ruin your life, then I don't want it. And she goes, 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:23.040 I just don't think i'd be able to look at 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:25.120 that every day and not be bothered by it, and 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:27.840 I said, okay, well, I guess we're not getting it. 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:30.560 So long story short, we did not get the map, 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:32.959 and then she got something that she was said I'm 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:36.200 gonna love. It's very fowlish. I said, yeah, I don't care. 0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:40.439 But then she gets mad because I don't get enthusiastic 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:44.400 about the things that she picks out. And I say, Ashley, 0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:46.520 I like them. I'm fine with that. I don't have 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:49.320 an opinion. But if if the things that I like 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:51.480 are not allowed up, then I'm not gonna have and 0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:53.400 I'm gonna be fine with everything else. And that's totally 0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:54.760 fine by me, but don't get mad at me. If 0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:57.240 I'm just fine about it, I'm not enthusiastic about it. 0:08:57.280 --> 0:08:59.840 So that's my story right there. Well, for the record, 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:02.319 I'm sure you already know this, but that's literally, to 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:06.160 a tee, exactly how Kylin and Eyes relationship works, where uh, 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:08.640 she wants me to be involved in the decision making process, 0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:10.960 but whenever I'm involved, I make the wrong decisions and 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:13.040 then she just goes with whatever she wants anyways, which 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:14.599 I appreciate cause I'm in the same boat as you. Like. 0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:17.600 I literally couldn't care less. Does Kylen get mad when 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:20.720 you say, oh, that's fine? And she says, well, I 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:22.920 want you to like it more than just being fine 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:25.600 about it. And then I said, okay, well I like 0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:28.000 this more. And then she says she thinks anything less 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:30.640 than me opening the front door and screaming about how 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:33.400 great it is that it's not. It's not as good 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:35.600 as she wants. She put up things that you don't 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:38.920 notice and gets mad when you don't notice it. I 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:40.880 don't think i've experienced that yet. Oh my god, I 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:42.960 walked through the front door. I'm home for ten minutes 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:48.080 after working. Ashley goes, um, you didn't say anything about 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:51.800 the pumpkins outside. I said, there's pumpkins outside. And I 0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:53.559 go outside and the pumpkins are on the front deck 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:55.440 and I said, oh, they're nice. She goes, you don't 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:57.959 like them. You didn't even notice them, And I said, no, 0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:00.319 I like them. They're nice. I just they're on the owner. 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:02.640 I was focused in getting in the house. I didn't 0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:05.280 look at the pumpkins on the front porch. They're very nice. 0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:10.520 Please don't add stress to my LIFEJH. What's your thoughts 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:14.800 on all this? You don't want to be okay, Look, 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:17.120 you guys are making me question it for sure. No, 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:21.360 I think that anytime, like just nod your head say yes, 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:24.640 you know, keep it cope aesthetic. That's like my policy 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:28.480 for sure. Would you rather go to hobby lobby with 0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:30.880 a significant other and just argue about what's going to 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:34.520 be bolted to the wall or be in a pool 0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:38.240 eating spaghetti with red sauce? I would pick the pool 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:40.920 and sketty all day. I gotta I might pick the 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:43.640 pool and sketty. Today, Today's the day I picked the 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:48.000 pool in the sketty. Yeah, not a bad choice. My 0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:50.160 big thing right now, Jared, is I'm doing a lot 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:53.160 of backyard work and Caitle and I went to the 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:55.480 nursery the other day to pick up plants and stuff, 0:10:55.760 --> 0:11:01.360 and we like disagree on some things. But she I'm 0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:03.679 like whatever. It goes shopping for something, I'm always like, 0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:06.280 I walk in, i see something, I'm like, I'm like, Okay, 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:08.880 that's what I'm gonna get. She's different because she'll go 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:10.680 in and she'll see something and she'll be like, Okay, 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:12.600 I like this mental note, and then she'll walk around 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:14.680 and see something else. I like this mental note, and 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:16.480 then she likes She does every she does like two 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:18.839 laps around the store and figure out figures out exactly 0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:20.320 which one she likes the most, and then she can't 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:22.319 make up her mind between your top three favorite things. 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:25.280 I just think that's just like a fundamental difference between 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:26.760 guys and girls. You know, Guys want to go and 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:28.959 make snappy decisions. Girls want to take their time and 0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:32.280 weigh all the options. Not to generalize, but it's funny 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:35.040 because we'll go into a store, make a cook decision 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:36.840 and say, hey, I like this one. This is good, 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:39.800 and then of course your significant other will say, well, 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:42.480 you didn't look around, and it's like, okay, let's look around. 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:45.640 What always happens, You always circle back to the first thing. 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:51.040 It always, and I don't want to be if I 0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:52.520 don't know what I'm missing out on it, then I 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:54.360 don't have to be stressed out about what potentially I 0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:55.719 might have missed out on. You know what I mean. 0:11:56.720 --> 0:12:10.800 You never knew it existed, so you were you were 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:13.640 down there for like a while. You weren't down there 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:15.400 just for like a day and saying hi to like 0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:18.280 you spent time down in Paradise. It seems like, oh yeah, 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:23.160 we spent three four nights, three three nights, I think 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:26.680 down actually in Paradise. It was nice. They gave us 0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:28.760 the Boom Boom room, so we had a c we 0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:34.480 had our own bathroom, total game changer. It was so nice. 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:37.400 I felt so grateful being down there. Plus, because we 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:39.520 weren't part of the cast and we weren't bringing drama, 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:44.360 we got to wake up at I would stroll down 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:46.240 you know how there's you guys know this. There are 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:49.079 two ways to get from where we live on Paradise 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:51.840 to where the pool is where you get all the food, drinks, 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:54.360 so on and so forth. You can walk across the beach, 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:56.320 which is what casts us to do, or there's a 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:58.880 back way that producers use and it's a back you know, 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:01.120 you use it anytime you need to do an interview. 0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:04.000 We got to use that whenever we wanted. So I'd 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:06.720 wake up, walk through the back down to the pool area, 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:10.200 grab some ice coffees, walk back to the bedroom. Ashley 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:11.920 and I would hang out for a while, we go 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:14.079 down the pool, then get miked up and just start 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:17.160 asking questions and then we would It would be great 0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:21.480 because I felt like we were uh facilitating some producer questions, 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:23.400 which is what Ashley and I exactly wanted to do. 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:25.200 You're like, well, how do you guys feeling? What's going on? 0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:26.520 What's going on with you? Do you think you guys 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:28.719 are heading in the right direction? Are you falling in love? 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:30.440 Do you think you're gonna give her a rose? Are 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:31.920 you confused at all? Do you think you're gonna get 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:33.520 a rose? Do you think you're gonna go home? How 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:36.040 do you feel? What's your game plan for going into 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:37.920 the rose ceremony? Because right now you don't have a rose? 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:40.560 It was fun. So what was your impression of all 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:43.000 the cast members that you met? They're great? Like who 0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:46.079 is your favorite? Who did you like the least? Give 0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:49.320 us some juicy tea? Here mintage and needs some juicy tea. 0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:55.520 So you've both been watching right? Yeah? Who I mean? 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:59.360 Brandon and Serene are just as picture perfect couple in 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:04.640 person as you would imagine, both so sweet, so sweet. Um, 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:11.000 I love Casey Tall has the beard. I don't remember 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:14.079 him at all as from I, No, I can't remember. 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:16.640 He is cute, He's got like the silver fox look 0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:21.280 to it. He's also very smart and so funny, has 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:24.320 such a dry sense of humor. I loved hanging out 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:27.400 with Casey because he was also he's a little bit older, 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:30.000 he was a little bit more jaded, which you know, 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:32.440 going into this process, I'm jaded as well, because so 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:35.440 many people were worried about like, oh, God, like they're 0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:38.720 gonna For example, Jill Jill, who I love so much. 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:43.480 Jill lives in Rhode Island. She's fantastic. She was very Yeah, 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:46.280 I thought I told this story in the podcast. The 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:49.360 first night Audrey's, our coffee shop was open, the coffee 0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:52.640 shop and lounge was bartending, and it was absolutely freaking slammed, 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:56.200 thank God, and this girl came in. She ordered a 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:58.000 drink and then she leaned over to me as I 0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:00.760 was making drinks, and she was try to say something 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:04.200 full transparency. Thought she was a fan, just trying to 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:05.880 say hi, And I was like, huh, I'm sorry what 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:08.960 and she goes, I'm on, I'm on this season of 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:12.360 the Bachelor. I said, shut that up. And then obviously 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:13.800 it was Jill and we talked for a while and 0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:16.640 she's so wonderful, So going going into Paradise. And then 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:19.800 on Paradise, Jill was so concerned that she was gonna 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:22.280 look crazy and she was gonna be crying all the 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:25.600 time and doing all these faces. And I said, listen, Jill, 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:30.640 keep doing that. Whatever you Whenever you feel like you're 0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:33.520 gonna cry, just cry. Just go over the top. People 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:36.160 are gonna love. You're gonna be so relatable. Just be yourself. 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:38.720 Don't be concerned about how you're gonna look. And I 0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:41.400 promise only good things will come from it. And hopefully 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:43.280 I'm right. So far, I feel like we're right. But 0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:49.080 Jill is amazing, Casey is amazing. Uh La. Who else 0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:51.840 is down there? I can't even Johnny. I didn't really 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:55.840 get to know. So Johnny and Victoria both very nice, 0:15:56.000 --> 0:16:00.560 very nice, but just very quiet catching themselves. Um so 0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:03.280 I didn't really get to know them as well. Logan, 0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:08.200 Logan was fine, he was like very nice, but there 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:12.360 was like I don't like, I don't remember anything about Logan. 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:15.400 I gotta be honest, very nice, but like Casey, I 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:17.800 remember so funny, such a great dry sense of humor. 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:22.280 Uh Lace is just insane in the most wonderful way possible. 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:26.480 Love Lace Jacob was so nice, so outgoing, like very 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:34.359 down to earth, um and just like just crazy. Uh 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:36.400 who else is like a prominent character? Why am I 0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:40.000 forgetting all these people? I feel like you're forgetting Mike, Sierra, 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:45.480 Michael A. God, Yeah, I love Michael Ay. He's the best. Michael. Well, 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:48.280 when we got down there, Michael and Sierra were a thing, 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:51.400 like a thing. They were already in relationship, and that 0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:53.440 was such a curveball because I just didn't see them together. 0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:59.000 But then Sierra is so um. I don't want to 0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:01.280 say sweet, because she is so sweet, but it almost 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:06.040 feels like it's not. She's genuine, but she's also just 0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:10.600 so endearing, like she cares. You know when when you're 0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:12.600 talking to you know, how you talk to someone and 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:15.800 you feel like they're actually invested in what you're saying. 0:17:16.440 --> 0:17:22.040 That's Sierra And it was refreshing seen someone like that. Uh. Michael, 0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:25.760 Michael is the man. Michael A is just He's just Dean. 0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:27.720 It would be like we would want to play we 0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:30.120 would want to grab a beer and play eighteen holes 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:34.680 with Michael A. He's just that guy. He fits in perfectly. Justin. 0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:37.960 Justin is again another guy with a super dry sense 0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:42.359 of humor. Is so funny. Uh love Justin. Aaron, Dude, 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:47.199 Aaron is fantastic. Aaron is so funny. He's so funny. 0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:48.960 I don't understand why they don't show more of his 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:52.879 funny side. He's like he made fun of himself. He 0:17:52.920 --> 0:17:54.640 told me he wasn't coming to Audrey's until we get 0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:57.320 protein powder, So I gotta get protein powder in the 0:17:57.320 --> 0:18:00.920 coffee shop. Was that like a recruiting mission for you 0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:02.400 while you were down there? Was to see how many 0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:04.080 of these contestants you can get on your good side 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:06.240 enough to get to come to Audrey's for a thousand? 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:08.359 I said, hey, you guys are very nice, but do 0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:10.120 you mind if I use and abuse you and try 0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:14.360 to sell as much tickets to my coffee shop as possible? Now, 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:16.640 I mean it was I'd love to have every single 0:18:16.640 --> 0:18:19.640 one of them down there. Genevieve Genevie is so sweet too. 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:24.120 She's so sweet. She's very much like Ashley Genevieve. It's 0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:26.440 so funny you mentioned that, because every time Genevieve was 0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:28.080 on screen, I lean over to Kitle and I'm like 0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:31.240 she reminds me so much of Ashley every single time. Yeah, 0:18:31.480 --> 0:18:35.560 like their their faces are like almost identical. Yeah, I 0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:38.760 don't know, Yeah, they very similar, Taja. If you were 0:18:38.760 --> 0:18:40.600 on Paradise to see who would you be interested in? 0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:43.840 Who would I be interested in? I feel like that's 0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:46.760 such a tough question. I think that there's some really 0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:49.880 great guys down on the beach, Like Casey definitely caught 0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:54.280 my eye when I watched him, and um, let's see, 0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:56.320 I know that there's like a few Rodney just hit 0:18:56.359 --> 0:19:00.000 the beach. He's a great looking guy, has a great personality. 0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:03.399 So yeah, that's here I would be eying if I 0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:06.639 were on the beach right now, Casey and Rodney, gotcha. 0:19:07.280 --> 0:19:09.000 Rodney seems to be a little bit of a bachelor 0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:12.560 and bachelor in Paradise right now. He's a hot commodity. 0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:15.520 When you're that hot, it's easy to be a hot commodity. 0:19:15.520 --> 0:19:19.359 I guess it's it's so interesting because this year is 0:19:19.400 --> 0:19:22.400 the first Maybe it's not the first year, but it's probably, 0:19:22.680 --> 0:19:24.720 I mean, obviously, I guess this makes sense. It's the 0:19:24.760 --> 0:19:27.160 furthest root. We've been removed from any of the cast 0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:30.639 members that are on the show. So like in years past, 0:19:31.640 --> 0:19:34.560 if we were to watch the show, which I normally wouldn't, 0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:36.159 but I would watch it because I like seeing my 0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:40.639 friends in funny situations. This is the first season since 0:19:40.720 --> 0:19:44.120 my very first show probably where I have zero connection 0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:45.960 to any of the people on the beach. So it's 0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:48.520 like I'm tuning in just for the for the whole 0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:50.560 scope of the show. I'm not necessarily tuning in to 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:53.680 watch someone cry or like someone that I know personally 0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:56.399 like embarrass themselves. So that's kind of interesting. It's it's 0:19:56.480 --> 0:19:59.159 kind of, um, I don't love it for this, like 0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:01.320 for the sake that I'm less invested in it, I guess, 0:20:01.359 --> 0:20:03.200 But it is a lot of fun to watch still, 0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:07.440 I don't know, I still feel like the show is 0:20:07.480 --> 0:20:10.480 kind of like not going downhill. It's just taking a 0:20:10.480 --> 0:20:12.560 weird turn in the past like three or four years, 0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:14.720
