Kala Stephen, how are you guys? 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:54.760 Congratulations you're finally publicly known to be in a relationship. 0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:57.960 Thank you so much. It's been a long time coming. Uh, 0:03:58.000 --> 0:03:59.840 you know, it was a stressful few months. Haven't you 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:03.160 stay in the house. And we probably snug We definitely 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:04.920 snuck more trips than we should have, but we made 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:08.800 it snug trips. What does that mean? Like you going, 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:11.400 what are you doing? I promise you made under the 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:14.080 radar trips. So whenever you're on a dating show, you know, 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:16.440 obviously most people know you can't be seen in public 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:18.520 and you're not supposed to be seeing each other unless 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:21.160 there's a producer there, and you know the network has 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:23.360 set up the you know, the visit, so it's all 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:26.000 kept under the road. Well, we snuck a few more 0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:28.240 than we should have. Like, I think we've seen each 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:31.320 other three out of four weekends since the show. You're 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:33.040 not gonna get in trouble for saying that, are you know? 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:37.720 It's all over? We made it. Three are sometimes where 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:39.320 I was sweating a little bit. Do you what do 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:40.760 you guys do? Do Do you want to like a say pause? 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:43.159 You go do like a different country? What do you do? 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:45.919 The reason why it works is that I live in 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:48.120 the middle of nowhere. In my nearest house is five 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:50.599 miles from my nearest neighbors. So she would just come 0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:54.400 up and there was not a soul in sight. Nice, Well, hey, 0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:58.560 whatever works, I guess did you Kyla? Has he picked 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:01.320 you up in this helicopter yet? We have taken a 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:05.839 few helicopter rides. Are you terrified? It's scary, but it's fun. 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:11.400 I just remember that. Oh my god, that sounds terrifying. 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:15.120 Good for you? Is Stephen a good pilot? He actually is. 0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:17.680 He takes like a good hour to prep and like 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:20.120 walk around and he has like a little checklist before 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:22.120 we go up in there. So it made me feel 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:24.520 very safe for sure. Nice. I don't want I don't 0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:26.359 want to brag or anything, but I've got fifteen hours 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:28.760 into my student pilot's license. So Steve, you want to 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:35.200 fly together? Man, Yeah, you're getting there. But yeah, yeah, 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:36.880 I can fly a drone. I can fly he No, 0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:39.280 I know it's not that easy. But hey, Steven, I 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:41.240 got a question for you that Jared and I are 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:43.720 dying to know the answer to. Um, do you ever 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:47.240 go by Steve? Uh? No. So my mom grew up 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:49.839 like anyone. Anytime anyone called me Steve, she made it 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:52.159 a point of emphasis to say, hey, his name is Stephen, 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:54.280 and that's because my dad, you know, my dad goes 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:57.680 by Steve. So that's the distinction there, right, separated by 0:05:57.760 --> 0:05:59.560 one letter the end is all the all the difference 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:01.840 you need. Yeah, because when we were talking about how 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:03.600 you're coming to the the podcast and I was like Steve 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:06.320 McBee then, what a cool name. And then our producer 0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:09.240 was like it's Steven and I'm like, yeah, I know, 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:15.039 it's Steve. Would be upset. We don't want to upset 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:18.240 Mrs McBee. So now that so, now that you're finally 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:20.359 able to be public with with your relationship, have you 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:22.640 seen it change at all or is it more or 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:26.320 less the same? Uh? Well, we have not actually been 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:28.360 out in public yet. We went to Texas Roadhouse last 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:33.200 night for a little celebratory dinner. But were we drove 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:35.400 down to Dallas because we're celebrating this weekend. So we're 0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:38.040 actually meeting up with Kurt Um and then her friend 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:41.320 Whitney from the show, and we're having like this big celebration. 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:42.880 So it's gonna be a good time this weekend. It'll 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:45.520 be interesting to see how things go tonight, Dallas. What 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:48.200 what bar are we going to? Uh? Sistance tonight on 0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:50.920 the Dallas side. Okay, all right, I'll catch my next 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:52.720 flight out of Las Vegas. I'll eat you guys down there. 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:58.919 Nice Abigail. So, Abigail hasn't been fully caught up on 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:00.760 this season. So can you guys listened on the last 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:04.520 episode between you two, Kurt and the rest of them? Yeah? Yeah, 0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:10.960 spoiler alert, Abigail. Alright, so basically, you know, I'm left 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:13.920 with Annie and Kala, Kurt's left with Amanda and Caroline, 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:18.200 and uh, you know, any such an incredible woman, um, 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:21.200 no doubt about it. But my connection with Kala um, 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:22.760 you know, it was just so much better. She fit 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:25.880 in with my family. Uh, and it really just loves 0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:28.000 a farm life and everything about it and has some 0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:30.640 experience in it, and um, you know, my connection was 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:32.880 so much stronger, even though you do not see that 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:36.440 on the screen. The producers purposely cut that away to 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:39.760 mislead the viewers. Uh, And if you ask Kala and myself, 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:43.320 it was a little over the top. Yeah, yeah, so 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:45.920 it was. You know, we had We've done several interviews 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:48.560 this week and they're all just absolutely flabbergasted at the 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:50.640 fact that I picked Kala, and I'm like, yeah, you 0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:54.720 didn't see anything, any of the intimate moments between us. Yeah. 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:57.040 I guess that was productions point was to do the 0:07:57.040 --> 0:08:00.560 shock factor at the end. I think definitely got the 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:03.120 shock factor. Yeah, so are you guys? Are you guys 0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:05.600 not upset? But are do you wish they had portrayed 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:10.280 a little differently? Yeah, definitely, because we had a pretty 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:13.520 solid connection since the beginning, but none of it was shown, 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:16.480 Like all of our sentimental moments were cut out, most 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:19.800 of our conversations as well. Yeah yeah, I mean, you know, 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:22.960 it's really rough for her, especially, you know, she's telling 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:25.240 her family and friends to watch the show, and they're 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:27.640 watching it and they're like, Kelly, you aren't even on here, 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:30.920 Like yeah, and then you know, I had yesterday on 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:33.600 Twitter right before the show, someone was like, um, you know, 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:36.959 I'm gonna buy Stevens. I have a jerky and meat 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:39.280 stick Lion.

I mean it's honestly, it's been smooth 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:44.760 sailing for the most part. I mean the episodes were 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:46.800 you know, a little rough, you know, just because of 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:49.280 you know, we knew what we had during filming and 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:51.640 it just wasn't shown. So there were some ups and 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:54.160 downs there, But for being long distance and you know, 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:56.760 having to keep it under wraps for six months, it's 0:09:56.760 --> 0:09:59.480 pretty solid. Nice. Yeah, that's the cursory out of TV. 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:01.800 I think all us cann test do you think or 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:04.199 you get something like hilarious or you're like scared they're 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:06.080 gonna show something, and then the episode comes and like 0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:07.760 none of it gets there and you're like, okay, like 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:10.240 what's going on with this? I don't know, It's it's 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:13.360 a it's an interesting situation. Um seven. So it's great 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:15.160 that she fits into your lifestyle. Is that something that 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:18.720 you like wanted to make sure you're looking for when 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:20.920 it came to who you chose? Yeah, I had to. 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:22.960 I mean you know what, right now, I live in 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:26.120 that little bitty small town and I knew that if 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:27.920 you know, whenever I found the girl I wanted to 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:31.120 settle down with, that wasn't gonna work. But even living 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:32.960 in Kansas City, like whenever we get our new house, 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:35.000 the farm is always going to be a big part 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:37.280 of my life, even if I'm not living there full time. 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:39.240 And so she's got to be someone, uh, you know 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:40.960 that can fit in on the farm, can fit in 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:43.920 around my family and college checks all those boxes for sure. Nice. 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:46.160 I love that. I love that. What's what's your relationship 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:47.520 with Kurt? Like, now, I know you said you're meeting 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:50.840 him to party, but yeah, I mean it's honestly, yeah, 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:53.240 it's stronger than ever. I mean, it's it's only built 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:55.760 since the show ended. I mean there was one weekend 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:58.120 where my dad flew out to Charlotte, uh, and he 0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:00.400 ended up hanging out with Kurt and I wasn't even there. So, 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:03.319 you know, Kurt's basically just another family member at this point. 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:06.040 You guys did seem like brothers on the show. Like 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:08.760 it seems like you guys grew a bond pretty quick. Yeah. Yeah, 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:10.240 I mean we hit it off from day one. I 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:12.320 was actually nervous about it, you know, whenever I found 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:14.160 out there was another guy. I was like, oh man, 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:16.600 it's just just gonna be a jealous competition the entire time. 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:19.000 And within two minutes of meeting him, you know, he 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:23.640 was just a brow to me and such another guy. Yeah. Well, 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:25.600 so I got a question, then, how did you Because 0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:27.520 we talked to Kurt on this podcast maybe like a 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:29.760 month ago, um, and we kind of got his origin 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:31.280 story as to how he got picked for the show. 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:33.120 How did you get selected for the show or how 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:36.880 did that all come about? Yeah, so January one, they 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:40.400 messaged me on Instagram. Cornwall Casting, a casting company hired 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:43.000 by Fox did um and honestly I thought it was 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:45.959 a joke, responded to it, just you know, lighthearted response, 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:47.400 and he said, hey, let's just set up a quick 0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:50.360 zoom And ended up working from casting company to four 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:53.720 nine five Productions to Fox the network and uh actually 0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:55.920 found out I was the first guy they interviewed and 0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:59.079 Kurt was literally the last one. So it's interesting the 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:01.439 too perspect this we got. Um. You know, obviously I 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:03.880 had to send over a bunch and we went through 0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:06.520 like three months of audits on all my financial information 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:08.840 to make sure that I was truly qualified as a millionaire. 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:11.080 I guess they've had some issues, Um, you know with 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:14.640 some people falsifying information was getting like I was like 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:16.320 telling them at the end of it. I was so frustrated. 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:17.760 I was like, look, I'm giving you guys more information 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:21.400 that I give my taxes. Uh. And then you know, 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:24.320 ended up getting selected and it's all sensitive information to 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:27.080 like your social security class. I'm like, I don't know 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:28.959 you guys were Adam, like, this is really starting to 0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:32.360 weird me out. My accounts are gonna be wiped out. Yeah, well, hey, 0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:34.320 props to you for going through it. Obviously it worked out. 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:36.840 What about you? How did you end up on the show? Yeah, 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:39.800 the same thing. We're well. Casting reached out to me 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:43.520 a via Instagram and um, we went through about six 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:47.800 months of interviews and yeah, it was from March up 0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:51.200 until September, and they told me probably two weeks beforehand 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:54.200 that I was selected. Isn't so funny to think about, 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:57.240 like just some random casting agency reach outs to both 0:12:57.280 --> 0:12:59.520 of you separately and now here you are together. Yeah. 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:03.120 It so Yeah. I just I made a post on Instagram. 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:04.480 I was like, I don't know how or why the 0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:07.640 stars aligned. It's weird, how you know, twists and turns 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:21.520 of life goes, but it's pretty neat. Yeah. I want 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:23.680 to talk about the finale a little bit because obviously 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:25.480 the crux of the show is that you don't know 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:28.160 who the millionaires and who like quote unquote the average 0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:30.320 Joe is, even though I think Kurt has pretty well 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:34.920 from suff Yes, the point is, um, you know, Kla, 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:38.360 what were you What was your emotions going into that night? 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:41.320 Do you think anything really would have changed if Stephen 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:44.800 wasn't a millionaire? Oh? Not at all. I had gotten 0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:47.160 to know Stephen for who he was as a person, 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:50.760 and I think this process really helped with that. Um, 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:53.120 and so I just I knew how genuine he was 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:54.920 and how good hearted he was, and that's really all 0:13:54.920 --> 0:14:00.320 I care about. Stephen. Were you, like not inst cure 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:03.000 about it, but especially going into this entire process where 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:05.480 you nervous that that people might be trying to get 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:09.560 with you for quote unquote the wrong reasons? Yeah, I mean, 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:12.199 you know, going into it, I thought, honestly that they 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:14.839 were going to try and find a bunch of legitimate 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:17.080 gold diggers, and so that's what it was going to be. 0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:19.080 But once I got there, especially once we got to 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:21.360 like the top ten or twelve women. It was a 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:24.040 really really good group for women. And you know, it's like, 0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:26.280 from one perspective, you're like, you know, probably would have 0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:28.080 made the show better if they actually had true gold 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:31.160 diggers there, But we had a really good group of 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:33.400 women to where I don't think, you know, it was 0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:35.880 almost like production forced them to talk about the money aspect. 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:39.520 Otherwise they had never even talked about it. Definitely prompted 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:44.000 more than you would think, so, Kelly, even from your perspective, like, uh, 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:45.840 when it was just the girls hanging out talking, you 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:49.440 didn't really see much of that, uh then talking about 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:52.280 the money, asked, I mean, there are a few girls 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:54.280 who aren't you know, prompted, who are trying to figure 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:56.920 it out for sure, especially early on. But I think 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:59.440 as it dwindled down, those are the more genuine girls 0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:01.760 who are actually they're looking for like a real relationship 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:05.280 on it. For sure. The bigger aspect, or the bigger 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:07.520 you know, twist of this was the two guys rather 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:09.440 than one being a millionaire one not just the fact 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:12.080 that these two guys I think was the more interesting. Yeah, 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:14.000 we had no idea what the show was called until 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:16.200 I think the day three of filming, so we didn't 0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:18.640 know the content, what it was called, or that there 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:21.600 were two men and either. So, um, how was that 0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:25.360 first day like jitter's wise? Oh, I know, whenever Kurt 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:28.040 and I walked out on the back patio to introduce 0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:30.440 ourselves to the women, we were sitting in that the 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:34.160 butler's quarters like choreographing our movements for like three hours 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:38.240 and we ended up having like three large glasses of scotch. 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:40.000 The producers came in there and took the scotch out 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:42.560 of the room like you guys are done, and uh yeah, 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:44.440 so it was you know, we were pretty nervous. I'm 0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:46.680 not gonna lie nice. Yeah, That's why it's funny how 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:49.720 that always is. I've been on four reality dating shows, 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:51.960 and every single time, the first day I'm always like, 0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:57.040 this is terrifying. The first day you're just like I've 0:15:57.080 --> 0:16:02.120 made a giant mistake. And it was such a long 0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:04.360 day night of filming. I think we started at three 0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:07.840 pm and we didn't end until ten am the next morning. Yeah, 0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:10.520 wrapped the first day, I was like do I didn't 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:12.040 even want to do this? Still, Like is this gonna 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:15.320 be an everyday thing? Yeah? Yeah, And sure enough. It 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:19.840 basically was for yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I want to 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:22.600 ask to because Stephen in the finale that you give 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:28.840 Kala a promise ring. Yeah, tell me what the significance 0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:34.600 of a promise ring is. Well, you know, the producers 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:37.240 were really pushing Kurt and I to do a proposal, 0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:40.600 and we're just not people that are going to do that, 0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:43.640 you know, be forced into a proposal. You know, We're like, look, 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:46.200 we barely you know, really know these girls. I've been 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:48.200 on two solo dates with Kala. Other than that it 0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:50.280 was just group dates. And yeah, I know we have 0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:52.240 a good connection, but I don't know anything about her 0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:55.960 other than that. Um. And so I was like, yeah, 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:57.800 she'da ran off if I pulled out and got on 0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:00.480 one knee. Sheeta ran out of that house so fast. Um. 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:02.960 And so I was like, look, what I'll do is 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:05.720 a promise ring. And this the significance of this promise 0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:07.920 ring is that, you know, I promised to you that 0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:10.119 my feelings are true, my connection with you is true, 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:12.959 and that once we leave these walls, this this bubble 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:15.600 of filming, that we're actually gonna give this a real shot, 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:18.160 a legitimate shot. And this isn't just for some ploy 0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:20.280 just to you know, just for the cameras. I think 0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:22.320 that's so much more realistic too. I mean, we had 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:25.720 known each other for seven weeks at that point. So 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:31.560 did you guys talk about it beforehand that you guys 0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:34.720 weren't gonna get engaged or where do you thinking? Maybe 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:37.680 that I was actually really nervous because I knew Kala. 0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:39.800 You know, Kala is someone that takes it really slow. 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:42.080 You can see that throughout the episodes, even that she's 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:44.320 really slow to open herself up, really slow to catch 0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:46.639 those feelings and really fall for anyone, which I like, 0:17:46.760 --> 0:17:48.919 and I'm I find myself a lot of the same way. 0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:52.359 Um So walking down there, like Kurt and I were like, 0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:54.200 we gotta talk to these women and let them know, like, hey, 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:56.000 we're not just you know, we pull these rings out, 0:17:56.000 --> 0:17:58.719 they're gonna freak out. And so I was freaking out 0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:00.479 because we didn't have the chance to talk talk to him. 0:18:00.720 --> 0:18:02.800 So you don't see it make the cut in the finale, 0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:04.919 but like, as soon as I'm reaching into my jacket, 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:06.600 before I even do anything, I'm like, just so you know, 0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:08.639 this is not a proposal. And then I pulled the 0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:10.960 ring out. But yeah, she had taken off if I'd 0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:13.720 pulled it out and got to the knee. Nice reaction was, 0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:16.560 oh my god, thank you, Like I'm not gonna lie. 0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:20.800 That would have made for a great television so amazing. 0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:23.760 And Steve and I think, you know, hopefully one day 0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:26.679 when you do propose, you reach into your jacket and 0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:30.480 you're like, just so you know, this is a propose name. Yeah. 0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:33.359 And for the record too, I've done I'm doing the 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:35.240 promise thing right now. I still wear a promised ring 0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:37.399 with my girlfriend. It's great. You know, more people should 0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:40.880 do promised rings. I feel like promises are incredibly underrated. Yes, yeah, 0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:43.879 the Dean as he just showed, he wears like seven rings. 0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:48.119 That was a promised ring. I want to build out 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:50.440 the collection. It's hard to find quality rings these days, 0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:52.760 you know. I just want to stumble across them as 0:18:52.800 --> 0:18:56.520 they come in my life. So, um, Stephen and kla 0:18:56.600 --> 0:18:59.600 I suppose we've got the promised ring. There had to 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:02.600 be some conversation now that you guys know each other 0:19:02.960 --> 0:19:05.359 more six months in the relationship, is they're going to 0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:08.960 be a level up from the promise ring anytime soon? 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:12.479 Do you think you know? Klle just moved up last weekend, 0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:15.120 so we wanted to cross that hurdle of going from 0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:18.919 long distance to seeing if we're compatible when we live together. Um. 0:19:19.080 --> 0:19:21.280 And so you know, we have the house that's closing 0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:23.560 here at the end of March, and we're both people 0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:25.640 again that take it slow. So we're just taking things 0:19:25.680 --> 0:19:28.240 day by day, making sure we can live together and 0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:30.520 not want to kill each other. Um. And you know, 0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:32.200 once we see that we can do that. I mean, 0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:34.199 you know, we don't want to put a specific timeline 0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:36.000
