Speaker 1: the Bachelor hot topics before we get Matt Donald from

Speaker 1: Hannah Brown season in b I P Season six, who

8
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: you may remember how the relationship with Sydney and as

9
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 1: he called supermodel Bree Barnes. But first let's talk about

10
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: this the sass that that Colton threw out there this week.

11
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: So much sass I love, I think I love Colton.

12
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: I mean Coulton is is serving up some drama. I

13
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: like to I like listening to it. I'm not gonna

14
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't even have an opinion based

15
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: on what he's talking about. This week, Rachel Lindsay went

16
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: on Wife What Happens Live with Andy Cohen and she

17
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 1: says that she will never be friends with Raven Gates again.

18
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: If you guys remember, they were good friends on Nick

19
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: bi all season, and then they were tight after the fact.

20
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: They were going on vacations and stuff. Together. Yeah, and

21
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, she unfollowed Raven on

22
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: Instagram and she, you know, wasn't at the wedding, and

23
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,119
Speaker 1: there were speculation that they weren't friends anymore. We don't

24
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: know what that is. And Rachel even said on Andy

25
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: Cohen that whatever happened, whatever caused this feud, was enough

26
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: for me, quote quote, it was enough for me not

27
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 1: to be friends with her anymore. She also went on

28
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: to say that the reason that the friendship ended would

29
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: never be put out there. She would never put it

30
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: out there because she promised she wouldn't put it out there.

31
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: So I don't know what this all means, but you

32
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: are putting it out there, she's out was like that,

33
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: that's not cool. You can't say that there's a reason

34
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: you're not putting out there. If you are just almost

35
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: saying at all, you could legit just be yeah, you know,

36
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 1: I just only want to talk about it. We just

37
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: went our separate ways. Then that's like more of a casual,

38
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: but it's like I will never be friends with Rachel

39
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: wants people to know that Raven did something bad. But

40
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: here's the thing, what could she have done bad? So

41
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: for what I said, I was like, well, unless she

42
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 1: like hooked up with Brian exactly, that's not like forgivable

43
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: because if we're in the girl room, we're like, oh,

44
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: it's for sure because of a boy. For sure because

45
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: of a boy. But you're married and engaged. I can't

46
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: even think of a girl brain like in my mind

47
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: to be like, oh, then this would be the next thing.

48
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: Like if it's not a boy, I don't know what

49
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: else it would be. And she touched Brian anyway or

50
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 1: was flirty or something, but she's she's engaged. I don't

51
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: know why she would ever do that, but that's the

52
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: kind of thing I'd be like, you know why we're

53
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: not friends because she touched Brian totally And I want

54
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: Raven to like speak to her side and tell us

55
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 1: what happened Raven. But we did start this conversation out

56
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,959
Speaker 1: by saying that Colton is the one that's been sassy

57
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: and this is because not only was this just a

58
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: juicy tidbit that we got from Rachel on Watch What

59
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 1: Happens Live, but then Colton responded making it even juicier,

60
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: saying that what is right? Does Rachel like anyone? He

61
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: wrote it on Instagram under a photo about this drama.

62
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: Does does Rachel like anyone? Nick Vill has since responded

63
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: saying I think she likes me, which is funny. But

64
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: I will say when I think of Rachel, I don't

65
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: really think of positive or light. I think that she

66
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: does kind of bring a lot of and I get it.

67
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: You kind of need to bring a lot of the

68
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: negative parts of something to light, and I feel like

69
00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: that's what she feels like she needs to speak upon,

70
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: is being like, hey, you know, I don't really like

71
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: Colton as being the next Bachelor. I'm not a big

72
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: fan of that. And I think it was because of

73
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: the age, which is fine, but it's when I think

74
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: of her, I think negative. Really, but she's kind of

75
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: a negative person. I'm here for it. I love it.

76
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: I love that she speaks her mind, kind of like

77
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: how we're on team Colton right now because he's speaking

78
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: his mind. I'm all for that. I feel like sometimes

79
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 1: people that are the Bachelorettes or the Bachelor, they play

80
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: it safe and Rachel's like, nah, this is me and

81
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: there we go. You know, I do love her for that.

82
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: I do love that. I think you can do it,

83
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: and I don't. I don't know I don't know why it.

84
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: For me, it just seems like she's kind of catty

85
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 1: over saying some things. Let's dive further into what Colton said.

86
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: He said that he made that remark because one time

87
00:04:52,640 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: Rachel allegedly to use the Wendy Williams word spoke crap

88
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: about Colton to Cassie and she hadn't even met Colton

89
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 1: in real life. Oh yeah, there's that too. How did

90
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: that happen? How does she like slide into Cassie's d M.

91
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 1: Maybe no, I think that she met Cassie in her life,

92
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: but I don't know. This is all speculation, alleged blah

93
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 1: blah blah. But I will say we get that a

94
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: normal I don't think that you should take that personal.

95
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: There's so many times when my friends like, oh, I'm

96
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: kind of talking to this guy. I'm like, oh, my

97
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: friend of a friend. Yeah, she dated him and it

98
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: ended really badly. But this girl was a girlfriend. But

99
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 1: she wasn't a girlfriend then no, no no, no, she was

100
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 1: a girlfriend. Then like, as oh, you mean Rachel didn't

101
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 1: has not met Colton something. Yeah, I don't really like

102
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: Cassie about him. That's pretty distasteful in my opinion, because

103
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: it's like, you don't know the guy. She his girlfriend

104
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 1: clearly loves him, so why are you trying to be

105
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 1: an instigator? In that sense, it's all you know, we

106
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: don't really know how this conversation went down. I also

107
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: kind of feel like when you're in the Bachelor Nation,

108
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 1: you feel like you can speak upon things, probably more freely,

109
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: Like she's like, oh, I went through this, so let

110
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: me give you some of the warning signs or like

111
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: what you should be looking out for. Where maybe she

112
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: was trying to be kind of sisterly with it, but

113
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: it just kind of is like, well, that's my boyfriend already,

114
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: so are you saying something? But I feel like in

115
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: the Bachelor it's like nobody really understands that nation as

116
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: well as just being in it. So people try to

117
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 1: help you out, but it can come off wrong. Yeah,

118
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: it's vague, it could be interpreted in many ways, but

119
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 1: it is fun for us to watch. That's what I'm

120
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: gonna say. I want to know what I want. Yeah,

121
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: But and I do like the fact that Colton is

122
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: talking back. I think it's well again, it is entertaining

123
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: for us. It is it's refreshing for people to like

124
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: kind of just bite back. Can we get some of

125
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: our listeners to think of what they think the situation

126
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 1: was yet the allegedly stories, we need people to dig

127
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: in and really figure it out. Come on and then

128
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: next week we're going to read all the emails of

129
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 1: the speculations. Maybe they'll get they'll be so bad that

130
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: Raven will just have to come out and tell us. Yeah. Yeah,

131
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: like there's so many rumors circulating now she has to

132
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: speak her truth and make Danielle's day better. I mean, Raven,

133
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: we would love to have you on the show. Wait

134
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: but email at email Ben and Ashley at I heart

135
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: media dot com. Yeah, because I want to know what

136
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: do people think? I what is it? I don't know.

137
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: She didn't return the dress. It's totally about a boy.

138
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: It has to be has I think it has to

139
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: be too maybe oh oh what maybe rachel or Raven

140
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: said something about a concern before she got married, about Brian,

141
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: and then she was recovery and carry But you know

142
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: what people circle because yeah, because she was talking to

143
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: Cassie saying here's what her concerns are, or whatever whatever

144
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: vague things she said to cast about Colton. Maybe that

145
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: situation happened to her from Raven, and then it was like,

146
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: you can't come back for that. I'm marrying the guy.

147
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: You've already said. What you think Like maybe it was like, oh,

148
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: I think Brian's doing this, or maybe it was like

149
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: the reverse, like we thought maybe Raven was like flirting

150
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: with Brian, but maybe Raven told Rachel I get weird

151
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: vibes from Brian, or you know, maybe opposite. It's kind

152
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: of weird. He's very he's a chiropractor, right, He's a

153
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: touchy person, and he's Latin. And I could say this

154

159
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 1: hot topic, Hannah Brown says that she only had seventy

160
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: dollars in the bank when she became the bachelorette. She

161
00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: told us to Marry Claire magazine that she recently had

162
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: the bank balance of seveny dollars when she agreed to

163
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: start on season fifteen of the Bachelorette. She was obviously

164
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: fresh off Colton season. Her career was messy. She said

165
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: she initially wanted to be a broadcast journalist, but by

166
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 1: the time but her time was always consumed by her

167
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: Miss Alabama USA duties, and she also had an interior

168
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: design job. She says that now she needs to hustle

169
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: and make some money, but she's doing a lot better

170
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: than seventy dollar as we are told that Dancing with

171
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 1: the Stars gig does pay pretty well. Um. And then

172
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,480

00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: be able to move on to a new city and

174
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: just see where life is going to take her. I

175
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: really relate to her on that, like, wow, spirit animal

Speaker 1: a little bit. Yeah, And I love these stories. I mean,

177
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: who was it. I think it was Chris Pratt who

178
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: was living out of his van in Hawaii, and it's

179

Speaker 1: and obviously it worked. I will say maybe seventies a

186
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,079
Speaker 1: lucky number. I will also say that, like when I

187
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: was casting on the show, was a year after I

188
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: graduated from grad school. I had a six month internship

189
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: which was non paid, and I was like job searching

190
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: for four months. Just couldn't find a job after grad

191
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,719
Speaker 1: school from the too my own horn, the top broadcasting

192
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: school in the country, and I was I was very

193
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: much in a struggling place. I was like, I don't

00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: know how I'm gonna I can't believe I'm not getting

195
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: a job right now. This is insane. And then casting

196
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: on the Bachelor and counting my lucky stars every day.

197
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: Sometimes you just need to take a risk, take a leap,

198
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: and go for it. All right, Well, we have a

253
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: up in a small town in Maryland, Western Maryland called Middletown. Okay,

254

256
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: It gets really rural on that side of Maryland. Yeah.

257
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: So we actually had a bring your tractor to school day.

258
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: So like that's how rural I was. I went to

259
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: James Madison and all the towns around it used to

260
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: have bring your tractor to work okay school day. Yeah,

261
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: I went to high Points, so we used to drive

262
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: by jam U going up there. Yeah, it's like in

263
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: the middle of nowhere. It's like a PLoP of landing

264
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: and like the football stadiums on the rights, the schools

265
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: on the left, driving north or south crazy and it's

266
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: split by the highway. Yeah. Yeah, do you like it there?

267
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: They kind of compare High Point and jam You to

268
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: each other. They say they were like similar schools. Um,

269
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: I went to Syracuse for grad school, and I like

270
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: to consider that my like home school because I never

271
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: really connected a jam You. I'm glad that I went

272
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: because it had the right um fields, like, it had

273
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: media arts, and that's what I wanted to do in

274
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: a lot of schools, especially back then. Back then, all

275
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: of the years ago, which is actually a freaking long time,

276
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: UM didn't have it. But no, I never felt connected.

277
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: I didn't love jam You. Okay, that's pretty big. School

278
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: was like what, Yeah, they had a huge football statum

279
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: for sixteen. Yeah, they're trying to like get up there. Yeah,

280
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: I get the hype up for sure. Yeah. Anyway, so

281
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: you did grow up in a rural area. You in

282
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: your bachelor bio call yourself a old fashioned guy who

283
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: loves to bring flowers to a girl in the first day.

284
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: Do you do this for real? He does not. He

285
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: also probably thinks that it would be creepy if that's aggressive.

286
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: I'm totally like a believer in flowers and stuff like that,

287
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: like most of the girls that I've dated in the past,

288
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: like in a real relationship, do you like the you know,

289
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: oh happy like one month, happy, two months, like with flowers.

290
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: But first day it's a little aggressive. Why did you

291
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: put that in your question in an answer? You just

292
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: are trying to be super I don't. I don't. I

293
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: don't recall actually putting that down. I think it was

294
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: more so like, I'm a very short person, so whatever

295
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: I wrote down was probably like they were probably like, dude, physically,

296
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: you're not a short person. Physically, you're you're short in

297
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: writing and speaking, thank you. I'm about six six with

298
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: with the right shoes on. Um. But yeah, no, I

299
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: I don't recall saying that. But you know what, like

300
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: that whole process has been a huge blur to me,

301
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: So maybe I did say it just trying to I

302
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: don't know, catch the catch the Hearts of America. I

303
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: don't really know. It also says in your biou they

304
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: are we're just going back very first impression of you,

305
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: even before we saw you on the season. These bios

306
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: are released with your photo, and I think that a

307
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: lot of people were like, oh, that's one of the

308
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: cuter guys in this bunch, especially based on those those

309
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: first pictures. Oh, those first pictures were horrible. You know what,

310
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: I have to say that it seems like the bachelorl

311
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: or the Bachelor Pizze season. The girls look great, like

312
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: they I don't know if they have better lighting or

313
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: if they're just that much better looking than they don't

314
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: like I swear, but it's like night and day. I

315
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: feel like every year they strive would do better and

316
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: better photos. Yeah well I remember, yeah, well do you

317
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: remember when the photos first came out? I mean obviously

318
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: I was like I went home after like four days

319
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: after they say I saw everything. Uh, and everyone's like,

320
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, the worst Bachelor Bachelorette cast ever where

321
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: they get these guys like off the street blah blah blah.

322
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 1: And then when the show airs, you know, you start

323
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 1: seeing this might be the best Bachelor cast we've ever seen,

324
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: like blah blah blah. It's just funny how people are

325
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 1: so quick to judge, and those pictures have been forgotten,

326
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: like nobody remembers those pictures. I will say that girls

327
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 1: are always telling their friends he doesn't look good in pictures,

328
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 1: he doesn't looked at pictures, but he's really cute in

329
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: real life. I just think that guys maybe don't photo off,

330
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 1: especially in that environment like this point and shoot, yeah,

331
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: oh yeah, it's very and like, at least for me,

332
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: I being in front of the cameras was I couldn't

333
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 1: even like whenever my friends would do snaps like snapchats,

334
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 1: I'd like get out of the way because they want

335
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: to be on camera. And then here I am, like

336
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 1: putting myself on broadcast and television the millions of people.

337
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: It's just like it's been just a big just my

338
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 1: life has changed in terms of that aspect of like

339
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: getting more comfortable with myself and knowing what I actually

340
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 1: look like and like with the back of my head

341
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 1: looks like, and just like the little things that you

342
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 1: don't really think about when you're living your day to

343
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: day life and then all of a sudden you go

344
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: on camera. So why did you sign up for the show? Yeah,

345
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 1: that's a great question. So I'm not I'm not gonna

346
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: sit here and be like, oh, you know, somebody through

347
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: my name and blah blah blah. I will fully own

348
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 1: up to it and say I I put my name

349
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: in the hat good. I'm a load of people are

350
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: honest about that. I cannot. I hate it when people

351
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: lie and say like, oh, yeah, you're nominated. It makes

352
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 1: you sound so snoddy. Husband was nominated, but he truly,

353
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: truly was, and I've heard great things about him. By

354
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 1: the way, I'm good friends with Benz and he has

355
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 1: nothing but like the greatest things to say about Jared's

356
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: all thank you. But yeah, it's like everyone always says

357
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 1: a friend signed them up, Like, can I just find

358
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,719
Speaker 1: somebody else who just said I'm gonna fill out that

359
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: form for the Bachelor? Yeah, I mean I grew up

360
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: watching it, which how you grew up watching it? Oh great, great, great,

361
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: we got more questions. Well, I I took like a hiatus. Well,

362
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: I grew up watching like the very first season with

363
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: my mom and dad, uh, and then watched it to

364
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 1: like high school. And then it wasn't cool to watch

365
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff in high school, so I kind of,

366
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: you know, stayed away from it for a little bit.

367
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 1: And then college definitely wasn't cool. I was in like

368
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:29,439
Speaker 1: a fraternity and stuff. There's no way I could never

369
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: let anyone know I was watching that show, So I

370
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 1: didn't watch too much of it during college. But when

371
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: I got back after school, Uh, you know, you you're

372
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: you're like, oh wow, these people are actually a lot

373
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: more relatable, Like they're not in college, they're human beings.

374
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 1: They struggle with dating in the real world, like just

375
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: like how I was or still am. Um. So I've

376
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: kind of tuned back into it, and then these last

377
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: couple of seasons, I've really started to to stay close.

378
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: I think it was like Rachel Lyndzy season I started

379
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 1: to tune in, or actually Joejoe season, and uh was

380
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: when I really started to kind of tune back in.

381
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: So did you um watch this with your mom and

382
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,199
Speaker 1: bond over it over time? Yeah? I mean it was

383
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: like our Monday night thing, right, we all watch it together.

384
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 1: Like my mom never watches TV, but like the whole

385
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: family knows, like from eight to ten on Monday nights,

386
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 1: so we're gonna watch The Bachelor of the Batcheret. And

387
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: that's like for my mom, and it was a good

388
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 1: way for us to kind of come together and and

389
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: watch and you know kind of just like laugh and

390
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, it was it's it was kind of

391
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: like going onto the show. It's kind of it was.

392
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: It was bad being such a fan because I realized

393
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: such a like the novelty of it. So like you

394
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 1: know the entrance. Oh yeah, like how it's like the

395
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: biggest and it doesn't help. My producer was like, you

396
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: realize this is like the most iconic uh night of

397
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: reality television history. And I'm like yeah, as I'm sitting

398
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: on the track and like thanks, man. There is something

399
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 1: crazy about when those gates open the wet driveway and

400
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: the man channel it up. It's the most surreal thing

401
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 1: that could ever happen to a Bachelor fan. It really is.

402
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: So now I feel really bad that you were such

403
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 1: a fan and it was something that you bonded with

404
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 1: your mom over and then you get eliminated night one,

405
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 1: and you know how sucky it is to get elimitated

406
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 1: Night one's it was. I don't cry ever, and I'm

407
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 1: not like trying to, you know, sound like a big

408
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 1: mancho man, I'm just not that. I just emotionally, I'm

409
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 1: just not I just don't get to that point very often.

410
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,479
Speaker 1: I almost cried that night. It's like it's just like

411
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: you never uh you just wonder what's wrong with you

412
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,640
Speaker 1: and why you suck at dating? And you know, I'm

413
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: not for that. I know, Dean right, Jared okay, um,

414
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: but yeah it sucked. I I knew going into it

415
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: that I'm like not Mr Smooth and I'm not the

416
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: one who's going to be like, you know, Mac Daddy Swagger,

417
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: like have all the right lines. So it sucks, I mean,

418
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 1: but I'm super grateful for everything that happened. I don't

419
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 1: think I don't think I would have made it very

420
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: far anyway, just just from my personality, I'm kind of

421
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 1: more reserved. Do you feel like you and Hannah did

422
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 1: have chemistry that night or was pretty obvious that night

423
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: You're like, Oh, we're not We're not going to connect. Yeah,

424
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 1: I I was actually really I saw she did, like

425
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 1: some sort of interview or something where she was talking

426
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: about how like she thought it was bs that everyone

427
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: was like, oh, we're super happy that you were picked

428
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 1: for the batcherette, like all the guys saying that to her.

429
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 1: I personally was like really really rooting for her to

430
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 1: be picked because she was she was from Alabama. I

431
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: actually my dad's side, I was born in Alabama. My

432
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: dad's side grew up in Alabama. So like, I'm a

433
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: huge Crimson Tide fan. Role time, say, did you roll

434
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: tied with her the first night? Now? Actually I did.

435
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: I did in our conversation. Um, but I I do.

436
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 1: I'm glad, I'm cognisant enough to I think I know

437
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: the reason why, uh she did boot me, And I

438
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: think it's just because, like our one on one conversation,

439
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: I was so nervous, uh that I ended up just

440
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 1: talking about myself all the time. Yeah. So like when

441
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 1: I walked away, I remember like being like, all right,

442
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 1: where did I gather from Hannah? Like what what about her?

443
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: And then I was like, damn, Like I literally just

444
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: talked the whole time, and like she's probably so tired

445
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 1: of like everybody talking her ear off. So I think

446
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: that had one big reason to do with it. And

447
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 1: then the song probably didn't hit it off. But it's right,

448
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,360
Speaker 1: it's all good. I got to go to Paradise, which

449
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 1: is awesome. I think everybody loved the song watching it.

450
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 1: Why would you think that Hannah wouldn't be into the

451
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: song singing old Matt Donald a farm that was shoot

452
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,439
Speaker 1: now I'm Johnna blank. Uh oh no, I'm at Donald

453
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: and I'm so nervous. I hope I catch your eyes. Stop.

454
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: It's perfect with the bro bro here and a bro bro.

455
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: They're here bro there, bro everywhere. Bro bro, I would

456
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: have given you a rose right there. You would have

457
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: been my first impression rose. Thank you. Yeah, it was,

458
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 1: I know, it was. I'm glad, I'm I'm so glad.

459
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: I did you know? The way I saw is I

460
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 1: had to be memorable, right, Like, you have to go

461
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: you have to go in there, and you can't just

462
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: be another guy who just like shakes their hand or

463
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 1: gives gives her a hug and says your name and

464
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 1: then walks in the mansion. So I was like, you

465
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 1: know what, I gotta do something. And of course she

466
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 1: couldn't even she didn't get my name right. She thought

467
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:19,199
Speaker 1: it was Matt McDonald. But yeah, well understandable. Yeah, she

468
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 1: even knew your last sort of name. She doesn't know

469
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 1: anybody else's last sort of name. Did it feel John

470
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: Paul Jones Actually that's knew his entire name. Well, very

471
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 1: very memorable of John Paul Jones. All right, you guys

472
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 1: are actually tied for my first impression because said that.

473
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what's funny worshiping you? You

474
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: know what's funny is that there was so obviously that episode,

475
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: it kind of came down to, like me and John

476
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: Paul Jones like you know how they like kind of

477
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: hype it up to make it look like it's a

478
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: showdown between two people and who's gonna get the really

479
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:55,360
Speaker 1: get down to because you guys spoiler alert, the Rose

480
00:24:55,359 --> 00:25:00,719
Speaker 1: ceremonies definitely edited sometimes to look like people don't have

481
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: roses or do have roses, but like the final two

482
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: standing there aren't always the final two that we're standing there. Yeah,

483
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 1: I actually don't know, because like I never got it

484
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,679
Speaker 1: was so early on, like we don't really get like

485
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 1: a good idea of like who she made a connection with,

486
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: who she didn't. I think it was obviously like Luke

487
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 1: Obviously Luke p had a really great connection with her

488
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: because he got the first impression rows. But other than that,

489
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,640
Speaker 1: like you don't see the conversations, you don't see who

490
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 1: she's talking to and stuff like that. So it's kind

491
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: of hard to say, um, but if you watch it back,

492
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: it was it was like kind of like between me

493
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: and John Paul Jones, And looking back, it's it's so

494
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 1: funny because everyone was like, why the hell did she

495
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 1: picked John Paul Jones, Like John Jingle Heimer Schmidt blah

496
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,199
Speaker 1: blah blah. Really yeah, I remember getting a lot of tweets,

497
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 1: like seeing a lot of tweets and me tagged in it,

498
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: and now look at John Paul Jones, He's like the

499
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 1: star of Like it would have been the biggest mistake

500
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 1: in the world if they would have not picked John

501
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 1: Paul Jones. I think she should have kept you both around.

502
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,959
Speaker 1: I think that thanks, Yeah, she should have eliminated somebody else.

503
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 1: How good did it feel, though, to see that first

504
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: night when it aired, how many people were just flabbergasted

505
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 1: that she didn't pick you. You were the new grocery storege.

506
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: I'm not okay, I can't give you that much, but

507
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 1: like it was, it was similar. Uh, yeah, it was.

508
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: I was so nervous um before that night that that was. Yeah,

509
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: that was tough because you don't you think you're gonna

510
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: get really embarrassed, and like, you know, going home the

511
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 1: first night on like a dating dating show is never cool,

512
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:39,120
Speaker 1: I guess or air quotes cool. Um. I The response

513
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: was very overwhelming. It was very very sweet. Everyone was

514
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 1: incredibly supportive. You know. I just remember having so much

515
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,959
Speaker 1: anxiety because like it's very overwhelming, like it it was,

516
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 1: it was incredibly overwhelming, and you just don't really know

517
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 1: how to anticipate it. So it was it was really sweet.

518
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,239
Speaker 1: Everyone everyone was incredible. How did your mom feel when

519
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: you were living at night? One? You know what's funny,

520
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: I you know, obviously when you go you don't have

521
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: your phone. I got back that Sunday, um and texting

522

530
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,600

531
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 1: well when you're casting for you don't think there's actually

532
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: a chance. I at least for me personally, I didn't

533
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 1: think there was actually a chance that was gonna happen

534
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: until I got the phone call, and so I didn't

535
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,679
Speaker 1: want to tell people so they could be like, hey, like,

536

Speaker 1: what's what's the status? You know what I mean? UM,

537
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: So I didn't tell them until like I was like, hey, guys,

538
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 1: just a it's just an fy I. I just got

539
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,160

540
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: like they're like, you're joking, I'm like, yeah, no, I'm serious. Souh.

541
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 1: That's kind of how it happened. I mean, it was

542
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: it was cool. Did you joke about it with your

543
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: mom like throughout life, being like maybe one day I'll

544
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:08,919
Speaker 1: be on the Bachelorette that's what we did? Uh No,

545
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: not really. You know, what was one show that I

546
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: used to always like want to go on and I

547
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: was very vocal with my parents about it was fear Factor,

548
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: Like back in the day, Oh well, we hear that

549
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: you are terrified of spiders, So what I guess you

550
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,679
Speaker 1: would just be out of the running for you know,

551
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: you would just drop the money, no thank you if

552
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,360
Speaker 1: you were trapped in a cave in spiders. It's more

553
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 1: so it's more so like snakes. I can't then why

554
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: in your bio from that bio is very inaccurate saw

555
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: the salsa dancing too. I don't. I don't honestly, it

556
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: must have been delirious when I was talking about all

557
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: this stuff, because I I kind of know how to

558
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: salsa dance, but like not not well enough to say,

559
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 1: like I'm doing it at the club every weekend. Okay,

560
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: let's clarify to our audience where they come up with

561
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: this bachelor bio. So you're sitting in the hotel room

562
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: when it's top fifty casting, so they're going to eliminate

563
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: ish people from this group, but everybody needs to fill

564
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: out the question answer and it's thirty pages. I was

565
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:14,239
Speaker 1: just gonna thirty pages, and you're filling out paperwork. You're

566
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: here for like thirty six hours in a hotel and

567
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: you're filling out paperwork for I'm not even kidding you,

568
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 1: maybe eight hours, and you at the end of it,

569
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 1: you don't even know how to respond to some of

570
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: these questions, so you're just kind of coming up with

571
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,479
Speaker 1: whatever silly thing pops up in your head. So you

572
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: must have been like, I would love to learn to

573
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: solve the dance, but I can't imagine I'd be good

574
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: at it. Honestly, A lot of the answers are just

575
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: me trying to get through it, you know, like when

576
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: you take a test and you're kind of just I mean,

577
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: at least for me, I've never been book smarts, But

578
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: like when you take a test and it's getting to

579
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: the end and you know you failed, it's you're like,

580
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: you know what, screw it, I'm just gonna circle it in. Yeah,

581
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: just circle it in. And that's and that's pretty much

582
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: like I was just trying to get through that. And

583
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: then like, do you remember that scant on that personality test?

584
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I did that right after you know

585
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: that you did? You have? You didn't have to read

586
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: do it for Paradise? Did you? Oh gosh? Now I

587
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 1: had to redo it for I think my second season

588
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: in Paradise and maybe Winter Games too, because it had

589
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: gone over a certain amount of time, and because the

590
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: show is supposed to, you know, transform you for better

591
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 1: for worse. It really um, you can become a more

592
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: confident person or a less confident person, or like a

593
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: more egotistical person or a less egotistical person, all that stuff.

594
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: So that's why you had to take it. I had

595
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: to take it multiple time. Oh my gosh, I like

596
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: that would deter me from wanting to go to Paradise. Like,

597
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: are you guys serious? We really have to fill this

598
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 1: out again? I probably just like spell out something with

599
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: the bubbles. If your bio also says something that I'm

600
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: sure that you were also delirious when you said I

601
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: love you love Hannah and you haven't even bet her yet. Yeah. Wow,

604
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: it right there, locked and loaded. Hut Um. Yeah, I

605
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: don't know why I said that. I was just really

606
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: excited that Hannah. Hannah was gonna be the bat rat.

607
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: She was definitely the one I wanted. Uh And I

608
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: can honestly say that I know, I know she might

609
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: not have thought that way about a lot of the

610
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: guys saying that, but like, I was really pumped to

611
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: that that Hannah view was going to be the bad rat.

612
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: That's awesome. You're living in Santa Monica. How long have

613
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 1: you lived in Santa Monica? So I've lived there for

614
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: two weeks now, only two weeks. I just moved down

615
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 1: here from where uh so, I grew up on the

616
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 1: East Coast, but I lived in San Jose for about

617
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: three and a half years. So I was doing a

618
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: medical sales shop, selling placentas and umbilical cords. Um, can

619
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: you explain it more. Yeah, of course you're selling other

620
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: people's obviously because it's very good for like stem cell

621
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: research and health. Right yeah, yeah, so real, real quick.

622
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:53,959
Speaker 1: I know you're probably like actually super interesting, surprisingly interesting.

623
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: So I got a lot of d MS about this. UM.

624
00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: I don't work for the company anymore. And it's not

625
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: I didn't like it, fired or anything. Everyone thinks I

626
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: got fired, But I just moving down here. I just

627
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: want a little bit of change of pace. UM. But

628
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 1: I so, I am not going to like abortion critics

629
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: or like planned parenthoods to get placenta's. It's definitely not

630
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 1: what I'm doing. I'm not going to like the OBI

631
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: clinic to grab placentas. Uh. There's hospitals throughout the country

632
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: that UM have consenting moms, healthy moms, healthy babies that

633
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: are doing C sections, and they'll donate their tissue, their

634
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: placental tissue and um biblical tissue, which is rich in

635
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: what So it's rich in stem cells, growth factors, like

636
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 1: different proteins, in collagen, which is often used for what

637
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 1: like complex wounds, complex burns. They're using it for like

638
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: everything anything to reduce inflammation scar tissue. Uh, it's basically

639
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: what it's indicated for don't they normally ask the mom

640
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: if she wants to keep it for herself because it

641
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: can be really good. Yeah, to like take in pill form.

642
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: I don't know much. I don't know about I know

643
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: that there are are uh you know people out there

644
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 1: that do that. I don't know much about that, like

645
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: consuming it, like I would imagine your body breaks it down,

646
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 1: but I don't really know. Um, but uh yeah, no,

647
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: it's it's a there's a lot of research coming out

648
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 1: on on placental tissue and its benefits and stuff, and

649
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 1: I was kind of on the breaking edge of that,

650
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: and uh, it was. It was a really great experience

651
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 1: and like seeing a lot of patients being healths. It's

652
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: just it was it's I should have awarded that better.

653
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: That conversation with Tammia. No, nothing sounded cool about Yeah,

654
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 1: I self placentas and umbilical cords. I should have should

655
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 1: have been a little doesn't sound I mean it sounds interesting. Yeah,

656
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: well I will say it was. It's all like planned,

657
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: healthy moms, healthy babies, happy patients. At the end of

658
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 1: the day, it's really all that matters. There's something about

659
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: your life we haven't covered yet, and that is the

660
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: fact that you grew up um with a family who

661
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: your your brother and your parents are both deaf, and

662
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: you grew up speaking sign language to them. You're the

663
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: only one who can hear in your family. My sister too.

664
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 1: Oh interesting, So is it hereditary? You know what? I

665
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: get asked this all the time, and I I don't.

666
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know. I really don't know. I

667
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: don't think the chances of me if I were to

668
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: like get married and have kids with a hearing person,

669
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: I think the chances are really low with me having

670
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 1: a death feld. Uh. I honestly don't know. How did

671
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: your parents meet? So they met at Gardner Webb, which

672
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 1: is a school in North Carolina. They have like a

673
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: death program there. Uh so that's kind of how they

674
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: met in college. That's sweet. So how was your how

675
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 1: is your life different in a way that like people

676
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 1: out here listening would be like, oh wow, that is

677
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: a significantly different lifestyle growing up with parents like that. Yeah,

678
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 1: I mean, that's it's hard. I get asked that a lot,

679
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: and it's kind of hard because I don't have anything

680
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 1: to compare it off. But I didn't have hearing parents

681
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: growing up. But I will say, I did, and this

682
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: is gonna sound horrible, but I did have the luxury

683
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 1: you of listening to like vulgar music at a much

684
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 1: younger age. Uh. And I mean that that I was

685
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: like the guy on the bus in fourth grade were

686
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 1: like the Walkman and like the new fifty cent like

687
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: get Rich died trying CD the explicit version, so like

688
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: everyone would sit around and we'd be like sharing a

689
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 1: little headphones. But other than that, like, I had a

690
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: very awesome I mean, I had a very good childhood.

691
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 1: My parents were very good to me um growing up.

692
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: And yeah, it's it's not. It really is not. Everyone

693
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: thinks it's like this very different lifestyle and it's not

694
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 1: at all. It's you know, the only differences that we

695
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 1: communicate via sign language, not you know, speaking, was sign

696
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,399
Speaker 1: language your first language. Uh, they kind of went hand

697
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 1: in hand. Sign language is definitely like for like some

698
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: of the easy things like you know, like milk and

699
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 1: like more and food and stuff like that when I

700
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 1: couldn't actually talk, sign language is a go too. But

701
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,319
Speaker 1: I actually had my grandma lived with my parents for

702
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: the first couple of years, and well she didn't live

703
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: with us, but she lived close by and she would

704
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 1: kind of associate uh words with signs, so I kind

705
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: of learned them side by side. Yeah. Alright, well, Matt,

706
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: we are going to dive into a little bit of

707
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,919
Speaker 1: game time right now. I love games. We have two

708
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 1: games for you. One is more just like a speed

709
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 1: round of questions, which is what we're going to start with.

710
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 1: And I'll be honest, our speed rounds aren't necessarily speedy.

711
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: I like to use it as a way of just

712
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 1: getting to know you better through like quick bullet point questions.

713
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 1: But some of them are, you know, really quick? Would

714
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: you rather we'll start with fun ones, Prince or Michael

715
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:42,720
Speaker 1: Jackson musically? Oh, Michael Jackson, Duncan or Starbucks? Oh man,

716
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: do you really? I don't want to get in the

717
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,879
Speaker 1: weeds of this too much. He has a Starbucks here,

718
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 1: but he is an East Coast guy. Yeah. So I

719
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 1: I've been doing this this I have. I always talked

720
00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:58,800
Speaker 1: about this, and I hate myself for talking about it.

721
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:02,840
Speaker 1: I've been doing like the Keto jack it. So I said, yeah, exactly,

722
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 1: open up a candle worms here. Uh So, Duncan doesn't

723

Speaker 1: have very Keto friendly like they're packed with sugar. All

724
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 1: of their ice drinks, but damn they're good taste wise,

725
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,399
Speaker 1: taste wise, duncan they just build a duncan right by

Speaker 1: my parents place back in Maryland, And I'm like, super

727
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:20,319
Speaker 1: bombs because I would have loved that as a kid

728
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 1: growing up. You made the right decision. Yeah, Jimmy Kimmel

729
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:29,839
Speaker 1: or Jimmy Fallon. Oh man, that's a tough one. Uh,

730
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:33,720
Speaker 1: Jimmy Fallon if he has those lips in competitions? Okay,

731
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 1: do you use a Mac or PC computer? Mac? For sure?

732
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 1: Who is your celebrity crush? Um? That's tough. You can

733
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: give multiple options. I've always she's a little I shouldn't

734
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 1: say older, that's kind of mean, but she is a

735
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 1: little older like Sophia Ga. I think her, I think

736
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 1: her personality. You don't have to even say she's a

737
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,800
Speaker 1: little older, because she's timeless. She is she and I

738
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 1: love her personality, at least on on her family. She

739
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 1: she's just like so so energetic, and I mean, obviously

740
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: it's very attractive too. Fantastic answer. Yeah, what was her

741
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 1: best Halloween costume? As we are in October, best Halloween costume?

742
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 1: My my good friend and I in college made one

743
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: of those like roller coaster. Uh, costumes were like we

744
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 1: had like fake legs dangling, so like we'd walk around

745
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:26,879
Speaker 1: and we like raise our hands up in the air

746
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:31,760
Speaker 1: and people loved it so cool. It was fun. That's cool.

747
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: U do you now smiles and pictures because of lessons?

748
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:42,280
Speaker 1: I know, I that's so funny. No, I don't. I don't.

749
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: That was beyond me. I keep that to the people

750
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 1: who do it professionally. I can't do it. We thought

751
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 1: that you were afraid of spiders, so I did write

752
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 1: down a spider hole or four million dollars. So would

753
00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 1: you sleep in a spider and snake whole for twenty

754
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: four hours? Will say? For a million dollars? Oh? Man,

755
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 1: Well it depends because are the are the snakes and

756
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 1: spiders venomous? Because I might not make it through those

757
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 1: twenty four hours? Well, then I could do it for

758
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 1: a million dollars. If I knew I was not going

794
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 1: across very innocent, very off shucks. Oh man, I don't

795
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:58,840
Speaker 1: know if my mom's could be okay seeing this. You

796
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 1: don't come across like that in real life. Why do

797
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 1: you think you came across like that? Yeah? Ben, this

798
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 1: is when Ben and Sydney were here. I don't know

799
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 1: where you were. You were somewhere. Ben and Sydney were

800
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 1: here in studio. Yeah, when they I don't know. If

801
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,879
Speaker 1: you're on vacation, you're on your Yeah, that's right. How

802
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,839
Speaker 1: was that, by the way, that was amazing. Oh my gosh. Yeah.

803
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 1: I was like, damn, it looks like every day do you. Yeah,

804
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: now you're sitting here with me. Sorry, this is pretty

805
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 1: great too. To call this a job is blood. Yeah,

806
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 1: this is a pretty cool gig you got going on.

807
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 1: But um yeah. So the best way to describe it

808
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 1: imagine I'm not a baseball so I'm in at butcher this,

809
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 1: but like imagine playing baseball for like a farm league

810
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:45,360
Speaker 1: team and then getting thrown into the World Series and

811
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 1: you have to pitch. Like I literally had zero camera

812
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: time on the bacherette, like probably like fifteen minutes of

813
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,839
Speaker 1: being actually on camera, and then getting thrown into an

814
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: environment where everyone's super everyone was on camera for months, right,

815
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 1: and they're super comfortable, and some of them have been

816
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 1: in Paradise for over a month or for a couple

817
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 1: of weeks or whatever it was, and you know, like

818
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 1: the whole Sydney Kissing Sydney thing. Like I was just

819
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 1: like I was literally there for not even ten hours,

820
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 1: not like two hours, and I'm getting I'm like being

821
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: prompted on doing something that's typically very private in my

822
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 1: life and doing it on on like a national stage,

823
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 1: and again, being such a fan of the show, I

824
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 1: know the novelty of making out on camera and this

825
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:29,840
Speaker 1: and that, so that was running through my head and

826
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 1: I used like, my mom is like a vice, right,

827
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 1: So I'm like, I don't know what my mom is

828
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:35,839
Speaker 1: gonna think, really, but in my head, I'm like, dude,

829
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 1: I'm just really really camera try right now, and I do,

830
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 1: and I just don't feel comfortable like doing this right

831
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 1: at this moment. And then, of course, you know, fast

832
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 1: forward to Britanize date, I'm like sucking face with her

833
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 1: and it's it's just, uh, if I could do it

834
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 1: all over again. I know it's not that big of

835
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 1: a deal, but you have a point there. Mostly for

836
00:42:55,960 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 1: most contestants, you get warmed up on the bat flarette.

837
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 1: You probably kissed the Bachelorette. You're there for a couple

838
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 1: of weeks, but you weren't even there for twelve hours.

839
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 1: And then you go into Paradise and you're expected to

840
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:11,879
Speaker 1: kiss somebody on the first date, but that would never

841
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 1: that wouldn't happen on the On the Bachelorette, you get

842
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 1: warmed up, you get to know them a little bit

843
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 1: more before you go into totally totally. Yeah. Usually, I

844
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:22,879
Speaker 1: mean like there's only like I don't know how many

845
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 1: people Hannah, Hannah, how many? How many the guys Handa

846
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 1: kissed on the first night, but it was only like

847
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:29,320
Speaker 1: two or three of them, Like yeah, and like that's

848
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 1: like courageous, that's super courageous. So like it's kind of

849
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: it was my first night really in Paradise and like

850
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, I it was it was just being

851
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 1: super nervous and camera shy, and I definitely started a

852
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 1: warm up as the days went by and got more

853
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:47,319
Speaker 1: and more comfortable on camera. Yeah. Yeah, you guys all

854
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 1: saw and uh, the whole mom thing I've just completely

855
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 1: just kept using as advice. I mean, I love my mom,

856
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 1: but like it was she wouldn't really care. No, you

857
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 1: know what's funny, Like after all the episode, she's like,

858
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:02,799
Speaker 1: you're so funny, like that you you cracked me up,

859
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,239
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. But it was never like why did

860
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 1: you do this? Why did you do that? And it's

861
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:08,879
Speaker 1: like I knew it, but like at the same time,

862
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 1: it's just it was an easy way for me to

863
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:13,240
Speaker 1: kind of cop out of doing something that wasn't comfortable

864
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 1: doing right away. I was gonna say, were you just

865
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 1: not did you maybe not want to kiss her? No?

866
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:20,359
Speaker 1: I did, I definitely did. I mean no, it was

867
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 1: it was a really fun date and like I really

868
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 1: enjoyed myself and Sydney was awesome. I just, uh, it's

869
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:30,320
Speaker 1: I'm just very awkward, um, and I got put in

870
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 1: a very uncomfortable awkward situation. If I would have kissed her,

871
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 1: I feel like it would have been super awkward. But

872
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 1: you ended up kissing her. Yeah, it did good. Yeah,

873
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 1: it's a huge theatrics about it. It It was great. If

874
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 1: your mom had your way, who would she wanted you

875
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 1: to be with in Paradise? Yeah, it was Sydney for sure.

876
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 1: My dad. My dad texted me after the episode. He's like,

877
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: you should have picked Sydney. I'm like, why was that?

878
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously you get to see everything on TV, right,

879
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:02,360
Speaker 1: And like Sydney's great. She's super sweet. She she like

880
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:05,240
Speaker 1: narrated the whole season. She never really talked bad about anybody,

881
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 1: and she was just very sweet and very kind um

882
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 1: and like you really got to see her personality as

883
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 1: as the the show developed, whereas with Brie, she came

884
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 1: in late like myself, so like we're both kind of

885
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 1: like you didn't have a ton of personelity or a

886
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,000
Speaker 1: ton of like we didn't have a ton of character

887
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 1: building up to it. So my parents saw Sidney all

888
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 1: all beginning of the season, and they're like, man, she's

889
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 1: really great what she is. And they saw her more

890
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:32,279
Speaker 1: on Colton season two, probably right, exactly exactly, so I

891
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 1: understood why where they were coming from. But like you all,

892
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 1: like there were conversations that Brie and I had that

893
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 1: weren't shown on TV, right, And that's just the nature

894
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 1: of the beast. They can't film everything and show everything.

895
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 1: So now you're living in Santa Monica and Brie and

896
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: Sidney both live here in the l A. Area, would

897
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 1: you rekindle with either one of them? Yeah, I knew

898
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:57,360
Speaker 1: this was gonna get asked. I I'm just super fortunate

899
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 1: that they both don't hate me. I'm actually friends with

900
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 1: both of them, um, and I'm super super thankful for that.

901
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 1: So like as of right now, like that's kind of

902
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: I'm I'm okay with the position I'm in where we're

903
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:12,320
Speaker 1: just both like all three of us are cool and

904
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 1: friends and they don't hate me because I look like

905
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 1: such an ass on television. Might want to say that.

906
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:19,959
Speaker 1: By the way, bad words okay, you can say Okay,

907
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:23,319
Speaker 1: I can't say the other bad words. We're pretty okay. Well,

908
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 1: my mom to hear. What are the top three requirements

909
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 1: that you look for in a girl. Yeah, confidence is

910
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:35,879
Speaker 1: definitely one of them. Um, Ambition, I think that's really

911
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 1: sexy of a woman. Um. Let's see ambition comments. Oh,

912
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:43,919
Speaker 1: and just being passionate about everything they do. Um, never

913
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:48,880
Speaker 1: never doing something that they're like half assing something. I

914
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:55,359
Speaker 1: said it again. That feels good as ass Like that's enough.

915
00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 1: Bleep bleep, bleep bleep. All right, now we're gonna play

916
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 1: plead the fifth. Are you familiar with Andy Cohen's plea

917
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:07,880
Speaker 1: the fifth? Okay, so I have a set of questions

918
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 1: for you. They are more challenging, they're more salacious. Salacious, man,

919
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 1: I don't even know what that means. Causing drama, alright, cool,

920
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:22,319
Speaker 1: salacious to learn that today. Now you don't know how

921
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 1: many questions I have here on my list. But you

922
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:27,720
Speaker 1: only have one time to plead the fifth, which means

923
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:31,880
Speaker 1: that you only have one question. All right, let's do it,

924
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 1: all right. The first question, would Demi and Christian have

925
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,840
Speaker 1: gotten engaged this summer if they hadn't gone on Bachelor

926
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 1: in Paradise. No, I don't think so that's a lot

927
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 1: of time they spent together. You gotta think like you're

928
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 1: literally living with somebody in paradise and you're put in

929
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:50,920
Speaker 1: very romantic situations, so it's like a lot easier to

930
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:56,759
Speaker 1: expedite relationships. Fantastic answer, which Bachelor in Paradise? Can we

931
00:47:56,800 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 1: get some music? Can we get some get some chromatic music?

932
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 1: Sakaston Or is like, we know you're like a good

933
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 1: sax love a good sack man. Johnath blank on his name,

934
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:11,840
Speaker 1: who's the famous saxophonist. I was gonna say, Katy Rodgers. N.

935
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's the correct sound effect for

936
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 1: this moment. Yeah, this isn't like a romantic but I

937
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 1: would say I think that the saxophone is the least utilized.

938
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:26,400
Speaker 1: It's just it's so underrated. I love like house music

939
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 1: and house music with like a good sacks man. I

940
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:32,440
Speaker 1: don't know if I ever heard sacks with house music,

941
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 1: But there's some good song. There's some good like tropical

942
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 1: house with some sacks and bumps. But we must get

943
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:41,960
Speaker 1: to the question now that this music is bumping, which

944
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:46,960
Speaker 1: Bachelor in Paradise. Engaged couple from your season is at

945
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:53,400
Speaker 1: least likely to make it to the altar. Oh oh man,

946
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 1: the so there's three. There's three rights Dylan and Hannah,

947
00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:02,080
Speaker 1: Demi and Christian and Chris and Katie. I mean maybe

948
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 1: Chris and Cage is because of the stuff that went

949
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 1: down on the reunion. I mean, they that's what we've

950
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:10,319
Speaker 1: seen so far, but obviously I'm hoping for the best

951
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:15,799
Speaker 1: for both of them. Next question, Yeah, I like it.

952
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:19,440
Speaker 1: I like it. Oh, I need a massage. This is

953
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 1: like massage music right here. Who from your season needs

954
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 1: what we'll call a humbling experience? A humbling experience? Um,

955
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:33,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it has to be Luke p

956
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:35,839
Speaker 1: I think he. I think he's actually done a great

957
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:38,759
Speaker 1: job of just from social media, and I hate that

958
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:40,960
Speaker 1: I'm like judging somebody's character off of social media. But

959
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 1: it seems like he's doing good for like the community,

960
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:44,880
Speaker 1: and I think he just wants to get away from

961
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:48,479
Speaker 1: the spotlight. Uh So, I think he has humbled after

962
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:50,359
Speaker 1: the show. Again, I didn't really get to know the dude.

963
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:53,839
Speaker 1: I saw what you guys saw on TV. So just

964
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:57,239
Speaker 1: from that perspective, it seems like he's he's mellowed out

965
00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:59,280
Speaker 1: and become a little more humble and stuff like that.

966
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 1: That question was too easy? Who That question was too easy?

967
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:13,919
Speaker 1: From your Bachelor in Paradise season needs a humbling experience, Oh,

968
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 1: Bachelor in Paradise season, that needs a humbling experience. I

969
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:21,920
Speaker 1: actually don't know, so I'm gonna plead the fitch just

970
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:24,359
Speaker 1: because I don't. I don't really know. Nobody seemed really

971
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 1: fool of themselves that I came in. Is there something

972
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:30,040
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to say? I mean, I was hoping you

973
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:33,479
Speaker 1: would just give us some dirt. I honestly, everyone's super cool.

974
00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:36,759
Speaker 1: Everyone was really I can't I can't really think of

975
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:40,759
Speaker 1: anybody you need to like, simmer down. I came in late, though,

976
00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 1: I didn't get to like. I didn't get to know

977
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:45,560
Speaker 1: everybody that. You're a very kind guy. You pleaded to fight. Now,

978
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:48,880
Speaker 1: I bet they get way harder. Now you have one

979
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:54,479
Speaker 1: Sydney pick. Now you only have Okay, Brier Sydney pick

980
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 1: right now. I mean I probably picked Sydney. I've hung

981
00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:01,719
Speaker 1: out with her more after the show. We've hung out

982
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:07,520
Speaker 1: with Sydney after the show. We've not kissed. I literally

983
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 1: put her furniture together earlier this week. That's so sweet. Yeah,

984
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:12,759
Speaker 1: we're cool. I felt like I had to make it

985
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:14,880
Speaker 1: up to because I felt like such an ass on.

986
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:20,279
Speaker 1: I just it was tough. Uh yeah, I just feel

987
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:22,360
Speaker 1: like I oweer one big time because I did. I

988
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:25,400
Speaker 1: did make you know, which just wasn't nice. The whole situation.

989
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:28,520
Speaker 1: I didn't I knew, just like, how do you come

990
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:30,560
Speaker 1: out of that looking like a hero? Right? You can't?

991
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:34,359
Speaker 1: Like they're I don't know. Well, what's really weird for

992
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 1: me is that they have you go through that rose

993
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:39,320
Speaker 1: ceremony where you pick somebody and then the next morning

994
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 1: they're like, okay, no breakup. Yeah, you know, they're like,

995
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:45,960
Speaker 1: if you are not in the status of possibly getting

996
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 1: then you must leave. Important conversations have already been having,

997
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:54,640
Speaker 1: Like I just gave my rose to breathe. What. I

998
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:57,399
Speaker 1: don't understand why that rose ceremony exists. It's like the

999
00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:00,840
Speaker 1: third or fourth season that happens. I you to be

1000
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 1: honest with you. I don't know why anybody who comes

1001
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:05,200
Speaker 1: in with like a couple of days left is expected

1002
00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 1: to like maintaining relationship. You know, I talked to Sydney.

1003
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:10,320
Speaker 1: This is like one of the things we talked about

1004
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 1: when I was fixing her furniture. Uh, I asked her.

1005
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:16,080
Speaker 1: I was like, you know, if you know, had I

1006
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:18,480
Speaker 1: picked you like that next morning, do you think like

1007
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:21,200
Speaker 1: you wouldn't have to leave anyway? Yeah? And she was like,

1008
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:22,919
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, Matt, like we both weren't

1009
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:25,160
Speaker 1: ready for like the fantasy suites. We just we're just

1010
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 1: getting to know each other. So like it would have,

1011
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:29,200
Speaker 1: it would have ended the same way like Brie and

1012
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 1: I ended. I mean, obviously, I like to think I

1013
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:36,120
Speaker 1: wouldn't have been called shallow and like an ass. Uh,

1014
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:38,520
Speaker 1: it would have. There was no winning coming out of that.

1015
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:40,920
Speaker 1: Why were you called shallow? Well? I wasn't called chill.

1016
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:44,799
Speaker 1: I was portrayed a shallow um, which sucked. It wasn't

1017
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:46,239
Speaker 1: a good look. I looked like such an ass when

1018
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:47,880
Speaker 1: I'll be the first one to admit it, why do

1019
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:49,480
Speaker 1: you think you look like such an ask because you

1020
00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:51,359
Speaker 1: picked Bree over Sydney and you had seem to have

1021
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:54,839
Speaker 1: had more of a relationship with Sydney. Uh. Yeah, that's

1022
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:57,680
Speaker 1: what what it looked like for sure. And obviously I

00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:02,479
Speaker 1: dropped the supermodel bomb like five thousands, Like dude, Matt.

1058
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 1: how everything's played out. Very nice. Now, you do have

1059
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:49,480
Speaker 1: one more question left on my list? Can't plead the thing?

1060
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:51,640
Speaker 1: You can't plead the fifth, so do we even need

1061
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 1: you do? Let the allergy of the music. It's like

1062
00:54:55,000 --> 00:55:00,080
Speaker 1: Lord of the Rings. Does Blake wear lips? And it

1063
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:04,480
Speaker 1: I am going to defend Blake right now. And I

1064
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 1: so I used to work with a lot of pediatrist

1065
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:12,400
Speaker 1: foot doctors with my last job, So orthotics they're naturally

1066
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:16,080
Speaker 1: they naturally make you taller. So I I don't know

1067
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:18,640
Speaker 1: his his foot situation, like if he needs it or not,

1068
00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:22,399
Speaker 1: but they orthotics do make your heels like stand out

1069
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:24,920
Speaker 1: of your shoes because it gives you more arch. So

1070
00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:27,279
Speaker 1: I'm thinking that's what it was to give him like

1071
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 1: two inches. I mean, like I had a parent, I

1072
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:32,480
Speaker 1: hated wearing him because my heel felt like I felt

1073
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:34,040
Speaker 1: like I was gonna walk out of my shoes because

1074
00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:36,480
Speaker 1: they were they were I stopped wearing him. But in

1075
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:39,680
Speaker 1: his defense, I'm pretty sure he has like foot orthotics

1076
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:43,600
Speaker 1: um that he wears to to like help his foot,

1077
00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:47,400
Speaker 1: like help his foot structure. Am I making this up?

1078
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:48,960
Speaker 1: Was this not on the show and just a rumor

1079
00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:52,960
Speaker 1: that was on the show, guys, But like apparently there

1080
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:55,759
Speaker 1: was a deleted scene as pretty much the entire thing

1081
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,480
Speaker 1: because I can only show you an hour and forty

1082
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:02,720
Speaker 1: minutes an episode. But there was a rumor that Blake

1083
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:05,400
Speaker 1: wore lifts and his shoes to make him taller, that

1084
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 1: he's like really like six foot and then he makes

1085
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:11,440
Speaker 1: himself like six two or three. Anyway, that's it. And

1086
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:14,000
Speaker 1: poor Blake. No, we all think Blake is He's a

1087
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 1: good dude, very lovely man. He's very he's very I

1088
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:18,200
Speaker 1: feel I reached out to him a lot after the show,

1089
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:20,759
Speaker 1: actually because he got wrecked just on social media and

1090
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:23,480
Speaker 1: I just had to talk to him about it and

1091
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:26,600
Speaker 1: made some screw ups. But isn't a bad person. Yeah, exactly.

1092
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:28,400
Speaker 1: We all do. Unfortunately some of us do it on

1093
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:33,279
Speaker 1: national television. All right, Well, Matt Donald, it's been a pleasure. Yeah,

1099
00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:50,160
Speaker 1: love the show. I am so bummed that Ben's not

1100
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:52,919
Speaker 1: here though, because I know I have not been able

1101
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:55,360
Speaker 1: to meet Ben and I have, like I doubt he

1102
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:57,400
Speaker 1: remembers this, but I have a funny story about the

1103
00:56:57,440 --> 00:57:00,319
Speaker 1: first time I, like air quotes, met Ben um So

1104
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 1: on our cast in the finals weekend when we had

1105
00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:03,720
Speaker 1: to do all those bubble sheets and all that stuff.

1106
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:07,400
Speaker 1: One of the One of the things that you remember

1107
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:09,279
Speaker 1: is like you walk in, all the producers are sitting

1108
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:11,600
Speaker 1: in there, so there's like twenty thirty of them. So

1109
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:13,520
Speaker 1: I walk in and like I'm seeing the back of

1110
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:16,240
Speaker 1: everyone's heads, right, and I see a side profile of Todd,

1111
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:19,400
Speaker 1: who is one of our very favorites. Yes, he said,

1112
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:22,040
Speaker 1: one of the producers. He's he if you guys remember

1113
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:24,480
Speaker 1: Goose and Crystal's wedding, He's the one with the stage

1114
00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:28,880
Speaker 1: like walking around him. Uh. So I walked by Todd

1115
00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:32,480
Speaker 1: really quickly. I'm super nervous. I'm like ho, like I

1116
00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:35,720
Speaker 1: was gonna say the S word. Oh crap, Like, uh,

1117
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:38,880
Speaker 1: Ben Higgins, what's up, dude? I walked by. I sit

1118
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:40,440
Speaker 1: down in the chair that's in front of everyone, and

1119
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:42,960
Speaker 1: I look at him and I'm like a hard pause,

1120
00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:45,720
Speaker 1: and we go, oh god, you're you're not Ben Higgins.

1121
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:50,400
Speaker 1: Everyone starts dying. So I'm sitting there like they're interviewing me,

1122
00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:52,480
Speaker 1: and then Megan Firestone comes up to me and she

1123
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:54,960
Speaker 1: holds her phone ups on my face and it's Ben

1124
00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:57,560
Speaker 1: Higgins on FaceTime and I'm like, no way, it's like

1125
00:57:57,600 --> 00:57:59,240
Speaker 1: a huge fan. I was like, did they do that?

1126
00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:02,400
Speaker 1: After you had this weird blunder with Todd. Yeah, that's

1127
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:06,320
Speaker 1: where like, let's get exactly and it was just like

1128
00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:08,880
Speaker 1: I doubt he remembers. Man, he probably gets a thousand

1129
00:58:08,920 --> 00:58:11,120
Speaker 1: facetimes a day, but he remembers that. If it was

1130
00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 1: in the casting room, it was. Yeah. I was just like,

1131
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:15,840
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, Ben Higgins, I'm like, dude, what's up?

1132
00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:18,160
Speaker 1: And like, I think the producers could kind of see

1133
00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:21,480
Speaker 1: that the star struck news come out of me and

1134
00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 1: be like, oh, this is gonna be great for television

1135
00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:28,200
Speaker 1: when they get guys who are fans of guilty pleasure
