Speaker 1: Hey, everyone, Welcome back to bach Or Happy Hour.
Speaker 2: I'm Joe and I'm Serena and we are here.
Speaker 1: With Jen from Joey Season. Hi.
Speaker 3: Jen, Oh, thanks for having me today. I'm so excited.
Speaker 4: Of course, So you we thought that you were running
Speaker 4: to this podcast from surgery, and when we were told that,
Speaker 4: I was like, oh my god, what is she having
Speaker 4: surgery for? And then we were informed, no, you were
Speaker 4: performing with the surgery. So please give us a better
Speaker 4: understanding of.
Speaker 2: What you got.
Speaker 1: I don't know any of this.
Speaker 2: You were in the bathroom.
Speaker 3: Oh Okayri, I was never performing surgery, not performing surgery
Speaker 3: yet I'm assisting. So I'm a physician assistant suon right
Speaker 3: now and I actually took like a little break to
Speaker 3: go on the show. But basically I'm in my clinical
Speaker 3: rotations right now, and so every six weeks I go
Speaker 3: to a different specialty and I'm currently in surgery. It's
Speaker 3: only my second week, so I'm very, very new to
Speaker 3: the whole thing. I know nothing except for the fact
Speaker 3: that I held a gold bladdery yesterday for the first time,
Speaker 3: which was like the weird this thing. Ever, I thought, yeah,
Speaker 3: what was down there? Well, I thought it was going
Speaker 3: to be in there like just watching. I was like,
Speaker 3: I'm a studid, I don't know anything. I didn't like
Speaker 3: soady up on the surgery because it was like an
Speaker 3: emergent surgery and the surgeon comes over to me and
Speaker 3: he goes, come here, I hold this thing, and I
Speaker 3: was like, what is this. He's like, it's the gould
Speaker 3: bladder and he was basic and in surgery, like you
Speaker 3: can't like move, like when swind tells you to hold something,
Speaker 3: You're like a statue the entire time. So I was
Speaker 3: just like trying not to pass out, even though it
Speaker 3: was only like a fifteen thirty minute surgery, but I
Speaker 3: was like, literally, you cannot move. But yeah, I mean
Speaker 3: it was crazy and really cool.
Speaker 1: How is this how okay? How is it handed to you?
Speaker 1: Is it is it like in plastic? Is it in
Speaker 1: a in like a little bin?
Speaker 3: Or is it just like no, no, no, no no no
Speaker 3: no no. So we did a laproscopic surgery, which basically
Speaker 3: you don't open up the entire abdomen. You poke little holes,
Speaker 3: like three different holes, and then there's like these like
Speaker 3: big structures and then you can put like basically like
Speaker 3: a clamp thing through to act as your hand. So
Speaker 3: I was holding the clam thing that was holding the
Speaker 3: gall bladder, was kind of exercising the whole gold clatter out.
Speaker 2: I also just pictured Jed there like a hand out.
Speaker 1: Gall ladder Starbucks.
Speaker 3: Hold.
Speaker 2: Literally, that's what I was picturing it too.
Speaker 3: But no, no, it was crazy.
Speaker 4: So you were holding the clamp essentially that was holding
Speaker 4: the gall bladder.
Speaker 3: Yes, exactly, Sorry, I just started with that.
Speaker 2: That's okay. We just have no knowledge of this.
Speaker 1: Where you live.
Speaker 3: I love a Miami right now.
Speaker 1: Miami. Oh nice, we're going Uh, we're going to Miami
Speaker 1: in a few weeks.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Joe surprised with the Valentine's Day trip to Miami.
Speaker 1: Oh that's so cute. How's the how's the weather like
Speaker 1: the second week of February?
Speaker 3: Well, getting no, no, no, no no. So like I'm from
Speaker 3: the Northeast, but like I've been living here for like
Speaker 3: a year and a half now, and I've become a
Speaker 3: true because my friends were visiting me a couple of
Speaker 3: weeks ago and I was like, guys, it's so cold
Speaker 3: outside and it's straight up like seven degrees, like it's sunny.
Speaker 3: It's great. But I'm just so used to like it
Speaker 3: being ninety degrees all the time, So when I'm not
Speaker 3: sweating outside, I'm like, it's kind of chilly, isn't it.
Speaker 3: So it'll be fine. It's gonna be perfect weather, don't worry.
Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, it's gonna be warmer than the New York
Speaker 4: And that's really all we care about.
Speaker 2: Do you have like a favorite restaurant or anything we
Speaker 2: should go to?
Speaker 3: Once? It opened up near five It's called Cassadonna, and
Speaker 3: it's supposedly really really good. It's Italian food, and I
Speaker 3: love Italian food.
Speaker 1: Have you heard a Jaguar Son?
Speaker 3: Yes? I love that place.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's actually one of.
Speaker 3: My top You're gonna be obsessed. It's not like it's
Speaker 3: not like one of those big Miami restaurants. It's like
Speaker 3: kind of it's an hotel and it's very very viby,
Speaker 3: and the food is immaculate. I'm so jealous. Are you're
Speaker 3: going nice?
Speaker 2: I'm so excited.
Speaker 4: I walked past it when I was there with my sister. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's in like a cute little area.
Speaker 3: It's super cue.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what brought you to Miami?
Speaker 3: PA School? So yeah, and I'll probably be here until
Speaker 3: I graduate, So another year but it's nice. I just
Speaker 3: I find myself missing the cold weather, which is so really.
Speaker 3: I know, I thought I would never say that. WAGE
Speaker 3: truly think not having seasons makes you go a little crazy,
Speaker 3: which is why I think everyone's a little crazy down here.
Speaker 1: That makes sense. I actually really agree with that. Where
Speaker 1: are you said the Northeast. Where are you from?
Speaker 3: So? I grew up in New Jersey, but then I
Speaker 3: lived in Boston for a couple of years, like after college,
Speaker 3: and now that's kind of where my family's at.
Speaker 1: Cool, Okay, how did you get on? How did you
Speaker 1: get on Joey's season?
Speaker 3: What a question? Well, I got a little dup in
Speaker 3: my Instagram one day and at first I thought it
Speaker 3: was a joke. I was laughing. I was telling all
Speaker 3: my friends about it. I was like, these people want
Speaker 3: me to get on the Bachelor. That's really funny. And
Speaker 3: then at one point, I think when I learned it
Speaker 3: was Joey and it was actually actually gonna be a thing,
Speaker 3: I was really I was like, oh shit, like this
Speaker 3: is kind of happening. I kind of have to like
Speaker 3: talk to my school about this. And I was really
Speaker 3: nervous because I was like, are they gonna laugh? At
Speaker 3: me or are they even gonna let me go? So
Speaker 3: I was nervous to like ask them in the first place.
Speaker 3: But thank god, I'm a very very supportive program and
Speaker 3: they were like so excited for me and we were here.
Speaker 1: What they say? What did they say when you when
Speaker 1: you said? Hey?
Speaker 3: Well, I like I wrote a very skeptic email to
Speaker 3: my program counselor, and so I asked to meet with
Speaker 3: her on a phone call. And when I called her,
Speaker 3: she was likething okay, and I was like, yeah, I
Speaker 3: just want to know if I can go do this
Speaker 3: TV show And she was like, that was the last
Speaker 3: thing I thought you were gonna ask me. I thought
Speaker 3: you're gonna tell me like something happened. You were like
Speaker 3: dropping out of school or something. And I was like, well,
Speaker 3: I'm not dropping out, but I'd like to take a
Speaker 3: little break.
Speaker 4: That's so funny because like I remember so clearly having
Speaker 4: to tell a like my boss at the time, and
Speaker 4: be I was also finishing a post grad so my
Speaker 4: program had so I had to like get like permission
Speaker 4: from both of them to like get time off, because
Speaker 4: if I couldn't get time off, like I wasn't even
Speaker 4: able to do it. And it's just like such the
Speaker 4: way the conversations go is so interesting, and like I
Speaker 4: was telling one of my girlfriends the other day, I
Speaker 4: was like, you know, you go into it thinking people
Speaker 4: are going to be like judgmental or like what the heck,
Speaker 4: Like you're gonna leave like your career for two months
Speaker 4: or to go do this show.
Speaker 2: People are always like so supportive and excited for you.
Speaker 1: Any boss that would say no is just a dick.
Speaker 4: I would be like, I cannot physically give you this.
Speaker 1: I mean I guess if that was the case, but
Speaker 1: like I would be like if I was the boss,
Speaker 1: I'd be like, yeah, go do it, like you better win.
Speaker 3: Well, what I think it is. Some people just like
Speaker 3: don't understand it and like doubt if you're going for
Speaker 3: the right reasons, like whatever. So I've had a couple
Speaker 3: of doctors like make weird comments at me now that
Speaker 3: I'm like back working, But it's fine. They don't understand it,
Speaker 3: so it's okay.
Speaker 1: That makes sense. I would say most people that are
Speaker 1: that are holding gallbladders on a Wednesday don't really like that. Okay,
Speaker 1: So what did you What was your prep going into
Speaker 1: night one? What'd you expect what did you what was
Speaker 1: going on?
Speaker 3: I honestly can't remember anything going into Night one except
Speaker 3: me like shitting my pants like fifteen minutes beforehand. Like
Speaker 3: I was just like so like I.
Speaker 2: Could literally or emotionally.
Speaker 3: Emotionally me literally too, and I was always have some
Speaker 3: kind of Boubel problem going on.
Speaker 2: Just hot girls are tummy issues.
Speaker 3: It's nice ex actually exactly. No. I emotionally it was
Speaker 3: just like all over the place. Like I remember jamming
Speaker 3: out to Taylor Swift to like calm myself down, and
Speaker 3: yeah it was. It was crazy and I didn't have
Speaker 3: any expectations. The only thing I'd hoped for was like
Speaker 3: a spark and like a connection, you know, like you
Speaker 3: go into it knowing so much like like what Joey
Speaker 3: puts on TV. You know, so you're like, am I
Speaker 3: really gonna vibe with this guy? Am I really gonna
Speaker 3: like him? And it obviously worked out really well.
Speaker 1: Ye did you watch the show prior to Yeah?
Speaker 3: No, I didn't. I really debated it. I was like,
Speaker 3: do I want to like know everything about him or
Speaker 3: do I kind of want to go into this like
Speaker 3: dating him like normally somewhat you know, and being able
Speaker 3: to get to know things for myself, and I chose
Speaker 3: the latter.
Speaker 2: So had you ever watched the season in the show
Speaker 2: you the.
Speaker 1: Way the show worked?
Speaker 3: Funny enough, the only season I watched was Matt James
Speaker 3: the season Oh nice?
Speaker 2: I was on that line.
Speaker 1: No, but I.
Speaker 3: Actually remember watching Serena. I was like, we're literally the
Speaker 3: same age, Like, how is she so emotionally intelligent? So mature?
Speaker 3: And I like, specifically very much remember you and being like,
Speaker 3: that's the kind of person I want to be, like
Speaker 3: I want to body like that kind of spirit. So
Speaker 3: it's that is so nice.
Speaker 2: That's maybe one of the nicest comins I've ever seen.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: That's trying to throw me a KFC birthday.
Speaker 4: I'm not trying to throw you a KFC birthday, right,
Speaker 4: I just thought the idea would be cool.
Speaker 3: That is the best idea. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 4: Okay, wait, let me let me lay this out to Jack. Okay,
Speaker 4: you feel like she's gonna understand it the quickly, just quickly.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 4: So you know how in tik talk, they'll be like
Speaker 4: themed parties, like Shrek theme parties, where it's like everyone
Speaker 4: dresses up as a character and like everything's green.
Speaker 2: It's like swamp vibes.
Speaker 4: I was like, you guys basically had a KFC theme
Speaker 4: pool party. But I'm like, imagine everyone dressed up as
Speaker 4: like the KFC guy or like something in relation to KFC,
Speaker 4: and then you had like buckets of chicken everywhere, and
Speaker 4: then there was signs that were like finger looking good,
Speaker 4: and then you had like games that were KFC related,
Speaker 4: like you can play like beer pong with pop in
Speaker 4: chicken instead of the pong balls. I just think this
Speaker 4: would be so funny. Like I just think someone at
Speaker 4: KOs and I.
Speaker 2: Need to chat.
Speaker 1: I do.
Speaker 4: I do love they should like sponsor KFC should sponsor
Speaker 4: like a sorority or like a fraternity or like just
Speaker 4: even like a group of people at university and like
Speaker 4: throw these KFC parties because I feel like it's like
Speaker 4: for the family, but it's also really good drunk food,
Speaker 4: which like I never thought of ordering KFC as drunk food,
Speaker 4: but like I feel like they should tap into that market.
Speaker 1: I just never really felt this person about KFC.
Speaker 4: I love KFC, but Jen, you said you love KFC too,
Speaker 4: so you get me.
Speaker 3: I love that is like the best idea ever that's
Speaker 3: gonna go in the books for my twenty seventh birthday party.
Speaker 3: Now like that, thank you your pong with the chicken
Speaker 3: popcorn chicken. That's iconic. I've never heard of that.
Speaker 1: I made it up right now, food after Really, we're
Speaker 1: really going in which I'm found for and I do
Speaker 1: like KFC. So if you are listening, I will wait.
Speaker 3: Favorite piece of chicken. I need to know, Like, what's
Speaker 3: your favorite?
Speaker 4: I like either like a piece of dark meat like bonans,
Speaker 4: get on.
Speaker 3: Yes, oh definitely, Oh absolutely, yeah, bum, drumstick.
Speaker 2: Wing, I'm gonna go drumstick and thigh.
Speaker 1: Interesting?
Speaker 2: Really yeah, what about you you like?
Speaker 3: I'm a wing girl.
Speaker 2: I've never had wings from KFC.
Speaker 4: I like the breast what which, of course you do?
Speaker 2: Joe likes white meat?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do.
Speaker 2: Well, there's a few jokes. I'm not gonna I'm gonna
Speaker 2: make it.
Speaker 1: The KFC talk right now because this has gone out
Speaker 1: for too long. Okay, Chad, do you feel Okay? So
Speaker 1: you meet Joey, is there that initial spark? Do you
Speaker 1: feel something?
Speaker 3: Absolutely? Yeah. It's honestly crazy to say, like crazy to
Speaker 3: think about, but one hundred percent, he just like has
Speaker 3: this like presence and something about that in the way
Speaker 3: we vibed and like our connection from the first like
Speaker 3: initial coming out of the go kart was yeah, we
Speaker 3: just we connected really well.
Speaker 1: And did you did you have any conversations with any
Speaker 1: other women in the house that felt similar to how
Speaker 1: you felt like having us, like being like, oh, I
Speaker 1: actually think he may be into me.
Speaker 3: I don't think so. I think my motto of the
Speaker 3: whole time that I was there was like, don't ask,
Speaker 3: don't tell, don't share, Like I was very much like
Speaker 3: my connection with Joey's my connection. I don't want to
Speaker 3: hear anybody else's. Like I remember a couple of instances
Speaker 3: people will come up to me and I'd be like,
Speaker 3: I gotta go. If you're I gotta go.
Speaker 2: That was me.
Speaker 4: Also, I was like, I'm just gonna mind my business
Speaker 4: and I'm gonna not I don't want to know about it.
Speaker 4: Just ignorance is blissed sometimes in that exactly exactly.
Speaker 1: And who are you? Who are you friends with?
Speaker 3: Do you have priends with?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Like, do you have like anyone that you're super
Speaker 1: close with out.
Speaker 3: Of the girls, Yeah, I definitely had a few. Star
Speaker 3: for One's definitely one of my best friends now. She
Speaker 3: lives in Florida, which is nice. It's really close. She
Speaker 3: lives like super close.
Speaker 1: Star Joey looked like they could be.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Joe did say this when we're watching.
Speaker 4: Yes, there was a clip of them on the group
Speaker 4: Date and she was like sitting next to him, and
Speaker 4: Joe goes, oh my god, look at Star.
Speaker 1: Let's say like dark dark features.
Speaker 2: Yes, and they're like their complexion. Yeah.
Speaker 4: No, they totally when they're sitting down, like just like
Speaker 4: next to each other face wise, Yeah, totally look like
Speaker 4: they could be.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'll have to watch out for her for some reason,
Speaker 3: Like I never saw that.
Speaker 2: Look in episode three on the group date.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, interesting. I think Maria and him look really similar.
Speaker 3: Actually really yeah. I think it's the dark features is
Speaker 3: what it is.
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on Maria Maria?
Speaker 3: I love Maria. She's one of my best friends now too. Yeah,
Speaker 3: lover her. We weren't super close in the beginning, Like
Speaker 3: I didn't know a lot about her. She's got that
Speaker 3: one of those personalities that kind of intimidates you at first.
Speaker 3: So I was a little like, do I want to
Speaker 3: know her? Well? I wanted to know her, but I
Speaker 3: was like, oh scared. You know, I'm a little I'm
Speaker 3: a little shy sometimes, but she's like a girl's girls
Speaker 3: through and through, Like I absolutely love her. She's the best.
Speaker 1: And what are your thoughts on Maria versus Sydney? And
Speaker 1: she like, do you know what's going like being in
Speaker 1: the house, Like is everyone aware? Like how much are
Speaker 1: you guys involved in this?
Speaker 3: Well? I think when I was in the house, I
Speaker 3: was really confused what was going on, Like people were
Speaker 3: just telling me this is what she said, this is
Speaker 3: what she said, and like I'm one of those people who,
Speaker 3: like I don't want to form an opinion until I
Speaker 3: actually know what's going on, so I and I never
Speaker 3: felt like I was getting the full story from anybody,
Speaker 3: so I kind of was just sitting there and watching
Speaker 3: it all happen. So I don't know, I think maybe
Speaker 3: things were blown up out of proportion. Whatever it was, so.
Speaker 4: Was like the tone of the house kind of falling
Speaker 4: more towards one side or the other. Was everyone kind
Speaker 4: of just like this has gotten kind of out of control.
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna stay.
Speaker 2: Out of it. Like anyone like really like a team
Speaker 2: behind them, not.
Speaker 3: That I can think of or really know of like, well,
Speaker 3: I think maybe Sydney had more of like a team,
Speaker 3: I feel like, and and then there was a lot
Speaker 3: of other people who were also just like in the
Speaker 3: middle and not getting involved. I just think the whole
Speaker 3: thing really did get blown out of proportion and caused
Speaker 3: so much tension. And it's silly because I don't I
Speaker 3: don't really think.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 3: Anything crazy juicy to be like talking about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't.
Speaker 4: It seems like the fighting is the juicy part, but
Speaker 4: like what they're fighting about is like kind of nothing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like I love drama. I love to see the
Speaker 3: drama happen. I loved gossip, but like I was, like,
Speaker 3: this is not fun drama.
Speaker 2: It was juicy, like we're fighting to make something exist.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, So Jesse waks In and
Speaker 1: you get the one on one? Are you excited? Shocked?
Speaker 3: All of the bove I think I was really hoping
Speaker 3: for it, but I'm sure every girl was hoping for
Speaker 3: it at that point. But I think based on our
Speaker 3: last conversation that we had, I really just felt like
Speaker 3: it was like the right time for one on one
Speaker 3: just because I don't know, I just really wanted it,
Speaker 3: and so yes, I'm so so shocked getting it and
Speaker 3: obviously just like so excited to like get that one
Speaker 3: on one time with him.
Speaker 1: So when they say, okay, you are going to surf,
Speaker 1: how confident are you? Like, like, I, I mean, you're
Speaker 1: from You're from New Jersey, I'm from Chicago. Like surfing,
Speaker 1: it was you're from Toronto. But yeah you had lakes if.
Speaker 2: You have lakes out there?
Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks, say surfing is just not no.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like I'm not surfing in Lake Ontario.
Speaker 3: I don't know. Can you surf in lakes?
Speaker 2: No you can't.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
Speaker 4: I wasn't gonna point that out, but yeah, no, we
Speaker 4: do have lakes, but they're not surf of all.
Speaker 2: You have to be in an ocean.
Speaker 1: Okay, So yeah, have you ever surfed before?
Speaker 3: No, I've never searched my life, I think, so, Like
Speaker 3: when I found out I was going surfing, I was like,
Speaker 3: it's just really gonna go. Well, I've always wanted to
Speaker 3: try surfing, like you know, like I'm the kind of
Speaker 3: person who are like is John to try anything, and
Speaker 3: surfing has always been on my list. I think the
Speaker 3: only thing that was stopping me is I'm a terrifying
Speaker 3: of sharks, like I've just seen so many like news
Speaker 3: articles about like people getting short attacked and whatnot, so
Speaker 3: like I was terrified, but I think like my whole
Speaker 3: thought process was okay, like they're not gonna let me
Speaker 3: die on TV, so like this is probably fine, Like
Speaker 3: somebody must have done research about the sharks in the area.
Speaker 3: And then when we were actually.
Speaker 2: Out, you're like so close to shore too. No, no,
Speaker 2: you really just never they could come out of nowhere, they.
Speaker 3: Could just come out of the sand. But I also
Speaker 3: think though, like when I was in the water, I
Speaker 3: honestly felt super super comfortable with Joey, Like for even
Speaker 3: though it was our first date, Like for some reason,
Speaker 3: he has this calming presence about him and like he
Speaker 3: just really he seems like he knew who's what he
Speaker 3: was doing. So I was kind of like, okay, like
Speaker 3: you understand this, Like you're not gonna let me die,
Speaker 3: it's fine. And if there's a shark, like you're gonna
Speaker 3: save me, so it's fine. And I mean I was
Speaker 3: really thinking about it, and I feel like if there
Speaker 3: was a shark in the water and it was choosing
Speaker 3: between me and Joey, like it's obviously going for Joey's.
Speaker 1: Is Joey R? Is Joey your type? Is he like
Speaker 1: the type you usually date?
Speaker 3: This is really bad, but yes, he he might look
Speaker 3: like my ex a little bit. I I have I
Speaker 3: have a thing for Italian guys.
Speaker 4: So okay, no, I like that you admit that, because
Speaker 4: no one ever admits it. They're always like, no, I
Speaker 4: don't have a type, like.
Speaker 1: Like do you do you like? So I always find
Speaker 1: that funny when people like kind of date someone that's
Speaker 1: similar to their acts, like when you first met him?
Speaker 1: Are you seeing like those?
Speaker 3: Is it?
Speaker 1: He reminded, No, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 3: No no no. When I say similar, like in like
Speaker 3: it's like in futures, like yeah, like the Italian look
Speaker 3: he has, like the facial hair, but personalitywise, no, I
Speaker 3: think all my exes are very different, and Joey's very
Speaker 3: different from all of my exes. I think the ones
Speaker 3: that I did in the past not the best.
Speaker 4: So so we're thumbs up for Joey.
Speaker 3: Yes, tons of green flas. Oh my god, I said,
Speaker 3: red flax, green flos, all green flocks, all green flags.
Speaker 1: So then we go we go to the night portion
Speaker 1: where you open up and you're you're more vulnerable. What
Speaker 1: made you make that decision to open up to Joey
Speaker 1: pretty early on?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, I think I've always been like a not
Speaker 3: super emotional girl, and I think that's kind of what
Speaker 3: hindered a lot of my previous relationships from progressing. Is
Speaker 3: like the fact that I didn't want to open up.
Speaker 3: I'm very much I I'm like people oriented, so like
Speaker 3: I love learning about other people, I love catering other
Speaker 3: people's needs. I'm a people pleaser, and.
Speaker 1: So your personal is nobody else's business.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.
Speaker 1: That's how I feel too. That's how you feel, you,
Speaker 1: that's I feel like that's how everyone feels when they
Speaker 1: go on the show. But then the show does a
Speaker 1: good job of.
Speaker 2: Like helping you open up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like it's okay to vulnerable and you're like, that's
Speaker 1: not it's Oh.
Speaker 3: I tried to find it, I really did. But I
Speaker 3: was also I wanted to learn from my previous relationship.
Speaker 3: So it's like if the reason why other relationships didn't
Speaker 3: work out was a lot of it was the guy obviously,
Speaker 3: but also me not opening up and being vulnerable, and
Speaker 3: I really wanted to like go into this and give
Speaker 3: it my best shot, and you know, he just made
Speaker 3: me feel really comfortable, and I did want him to
Speaker 3: like get to know everything about me and know and
Speaker 3: for him to know like why I am the way
Speaker 3: I am and things like that. So I just I
Speaker 3: wanted to start off on a good foot.
Speaker 2: No, I think I think it was great.
Speaker 4: And I also think that when you get a one
Speaker 4: on one date on the show, it's like guaranteed private time.
Speaker 4: So you're like, if I want to open up, and
Speaker 4: I think especially like you're sharing your experience about past
Speaker 4: relationships and your relationship with your parents and their relationship,
Speaker 4: so it's very like relevant to how you date and
Speaker 4: like how you view relationships. So I think it makes
Speaker 4: sense that you're like, Okay, I've got this extended time.
Speaker 4: I might not get this again. Like I don't want
Speaker 4: to be opening up to him on a group date
Speaker 4: and have someone come steal him. It's kind of like
Speaker 4: here's your chair.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, I agree. I didn't want to be
Speaker 3: in the position where I was like spilling my guts
Speaker 3: and somebody was interrupting and then he didn't have time
Speaker 3: to process.
Speaker 1: All of that.
Speaker 3: So I was like, one on one is definitely the
Speaker 3: time to do it for sure?
Speaker 4: How do you feel like that conversation went with him?
Speaker 3: I blacked out a little bit. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 3: That was my first time ever really sharing my entire
Speaker 3: story with somebody, so it was scary to share it
Speaker 3: with him, even though I wanted to. But it was
Speaker 3: also like another layer of like, oh, a lot of
Speaker 3: people are going to see this about me, and a
Speaker 3: lot of my close friends still don't know a lot
Speaker 3: about like how I grew up and stuff like that.
Speaker 3: So it was it was hard being vulnerable. I definitely
Speaker 3: don't do it a lot, and it was it was tough,
Speaker 3: but I'm happy that I did it.
Speaker 2: And he seemed receptive.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was so incredibly receptive and supportive. And I think,
Speaker 3: like the reason why I don't get vulnerable is because,
Speaker 3: you know, like I think people are going to look
Speaker 3: at me differently or treat me differently, and like obviously
Speaker 3: he didn't do that, Like he still saw me for
Speaker 3: who I am, and I was really appreciative of that.
Speaker 4: Do you think if the day portion of the date
Speaker 4: hadn't gone as well as it did, you might have
Speaker 4: not opened up to him, Like do you think you
Speaker 4: were like my feelings are here with this guy, I
Speaker 4: want to like share more.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, for sure. I think like if we
Speaker 3: didn't have that connection and chemistry during the day and
Speaker 3: didn't have as much fun as we did, then no,
Speaker 3: I absolutely probably would not have opened up to him.
Speaker 3: But because we did have such a great time and
Speaker 3: he really made me feel safe the entire day, I
Speaker 3: was like, this is definitely it felt like the right
Speaker 3: time for sure.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: How was a fireworks show?
Speaker 3: It was actually a drone show.
Speaker 2: We couldn't figure out what it was.
Speaker 3: Okay, you were just as confused as I am.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so because you guys both looked you guys both
Speaker 1: looked really confused.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know why he looked confused, because he
Speaker 3: knew what was going on. I was super confused. But
Speaker 3: so we were standing in the middle of the cemetery.
Speaker 3: Then I hear like this weird buzzing sound and this
Speaker 3: is where like the conspiracy theorist in me is coming out.
Speaker 3: I'm like, are these aliens? Like what is going on?
Speaker 3: I literally was like it's it sounded like a spaceship
Speaker 3: was landing or something. There's a bunch of lights in
Speaker 3: the air, and I'm like they look like fireworks, but
Speaker 3: they don't sound like fireworks. So I was mega confused,
Speaker 3: and then eventually I figured it out and it was
Speaker 3: so cool.
Speaker 4: No, I'm glad that you said that, because I don't
Speaker 4: know what I thought it was, but I didn't realize
Speaker 4: it was drones.
Speaker 1: If the government actually he had contact with aliens, they did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, They're like, this is how we're gonna tell the world.
Speaker 2: Forget the aliens.
Speaker 4: Date number one on one, date number two, Bachelor season whatever,
Speaker 4: We're gonna show the world nuts.
Speaker 2: That would be crazy, that'd be a legendary date th
Speaker 2: that that'd be better than the drones.
Speaker 3: That would make my life. Honestly, I don't know why
Speaker 3: they didn't do that.
Speaker 1: Okay, we're gonna we're gonna we'll play a game. But
Speaker 1: before we do, if you can, if you could describe
Speaker 1: this season without without spoiling it, do it.
Speaker 2: A little teaser.
Speaker 3: Emotional emotion, emotional.
Speaker 1: You righty, you got the game.
Speaker 2: I got the game. It's very easy.
Speaker 1: It's just like fire.
Speaker 2: Fun questions about you, rapid fire questions.
Speaker 1: Okay, everything you say, everything you say, it could be
Speaker 1: a lie. That's what really matter.
Speaker 2: Oh, perfect, but don't lie. I tell the truth.
Speaker 1: When I asked rapid fire questions, usually what I'm saying
Speaker 1: is just like a lie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I would say you're the minority. You just
Speaker 2: panic and panic.
Speaker 1: Lie.
Speaker 3: I'm a panic fly.
