Speaker 1: What's up, Bachelor Happy Hour. It's so good to be
Speaker 1: back with you all again this week, and I know
Speaker 1: Michelle and I are both so excited to be here
Speaker 1: for another episode because we have a very fun one
Speaker 1: plan for you today. Yeah, so we're so excited. We've
Speaker 1: been talking about this for a little bit now. I've
Speaker 1: had to keep a secret, but I'm really really happy
Speaker 1: that we don't have to keep that secret anymore. It's
Speaker 1: finely here. We have our wine ready. I hope you
Speaker 1: all do too, because very soon we're bringing on our
Speaker 1: guests to get the party started. And yes, you heard
Speaker 1: that right, I said guests as in plural, because the
Speaker 1: first one we're going to be bringing on, well, we'll
Speaker 1: come on together, but the first one, drumroll please. He
Speaker 1: comes in at a whopping six six. He has the
Speaker 1: best damn smile that I'm looking at right now, and
Speaker 1: he is the honestly the best hype man for the
Speaker 1: Bachelor franchise for us. Michelle and my favorite person I
Speaker 1: just love to love, which of course is Thomas WHOA.
Speaker 1: I feel like we need a round about thoughts. And
Speaker 1: our second guess is a sixth eighth man that everybody
Speaker 1: knows is always the tallest man in the room, a
Speaker 1: good looking man at that. But he's a sweetheart. He
Speaker 1: was a walking red flag according to everybody else, but
Speaker 1: he is here. He has burned himself wrong. And we're
Speaker 1: gonna have Nate on. But before we bring the guys on, Becca,
Speaker 1: I feel like we have a lot of catching up
Speaker 1: to do, because last time we spoke, you were at
Speaker 1: the tail end of Bachelor Live on stage. Now you're
Speaker 1: finally home and you have some new announcements coming. I
Speaker 1: do yes, and I like you said, I'm finally home.
Speaker 1: It feels incredible. It was very bittersweet. The last show
Speaker 1: was so sad, but just so happy that we were
Speaker 1: able to complete the full tour this time around, because
Speaker 1: obviously COVID shut it down. So I've been home a
Speaker 1: couple of days. I did not leave the bed and
Speaker 1: the couch for the first day, I was horizontal for
Speaker 1: twenty four hours and it was wonderful. And since then
Speaker 1: right back at it. We've been busy. My sparkling Wineline
Speaker 1: boardone just launched our new rose which I am drinking today.
Speaker 1: I said, I hope everyone has their wine or their
Speaker 1: cocktails ready, because it's gonna be a fun episode. Cheers
Speaker 1: Michelle cheers starts up. Well, cheers with the mend too
Speaker 1: once they get in. But we need cheers with the
Speaker 1: girls first. But okay, wait, who's more excited that your home?
Speaker 1: Thomas or minnow? Oh, minnow, of course a minnow. No,
Speaker 1: Thomas was excited too. He came to the last show. Oh,
Speaker 1: he's facetiming with Nate, right, you go shave my mustache
Speaker 1: to Nash real quick. No, apparently they're facetiming right now.
Speaker 1: I guess Nate has a mustache. Thomas needs to go
Speaker 1: shave his stash to match Nates. Oh no, I thought,
Speaker 1: Oh I got excited for a second because I thought
Speaker 1: that Nate was shaving his mustache before he came on,
Speaker 1: because he was maybe, you know, getting rid of it.
Speaker 1: Oh no, I think it's still there, and I think
Speaker 1: it's better. And now he's he's brought Thomas on board.
Speaker 1: Oh no, oh, n it is a bad influence. Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, he is a red flag you Okay, before
Speaker 1: the guys come on, hopefully clean shaven and looking fine,
Speaker 1: What is up with you? What have you been up to?
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I feel like this past week has
Speaker 1: been the first week where I truly started to get
Speaker 1: into a routine because I've been traveling so much, whether
Speaker 1: it's to New York, La Nate, and I was we're
Speaker 1: able to make that trip to Canada, So I finally
Speaker 1: have been home long enough where I've been able to
Speaker 1: get into a routine good um, and so it's been
Speaker 1: really really nice. I mean, and the sun's out. It's
Speaker 1: just it's it's been a feel good week. So I
Speaker 1: love that. That's so good to hear. I love that too.
Speaker 1: You say that you're finally getting into routine because what
Speaker 1: in three weeks, it's going to be summer break for you, right, yes,
Speaker 1: which which I am so excited for. I'm so excited for,
Speaker 1: except for I'm a little nervous because typically after the
Speaker 1: school year, my body completely crashes because that end of
Speaker 1: the school your push is just so stressful, and adding
Speaker 1: everything going on now in my other part of my life,
Speaker 1: it's I feel like I'm quite to like go into
Speaker 1: a coma for a solid week. You deserve it. I
Speaker 1: really haven't slowed down for like a year and a half,
Speaker 1: and so now my body is going to be like okay, Michelle,
Speaker 1: yeah exactly. So I'm like what a wild ride? Did
Speaker 1: you ever expect getting into last summer, Like how different
Speaker 1: your life would be come this time around. No, I
Speaker 1: don't even think I could have imagined that I'd be
Speaker 1: sitting here. I mean, I was just trying to enjoy
Speaker 1: the ride. But yeah, I don't know if I could
Speaker 1: have foreshadowed all of this and this would have happened
Speaker 1: to me. You got, you fell in love, you got
Speaker 1: engaged after dating thirty plus men, you went back to work,
Speaker 1: you had Pressed two or after Press two or for
Speaker 1: your season. Now you're potentially looking to move in with
Speaker 1: your fiance, going through another school year, starting a podcast
Speaker 1: with me, Like, you've done it so much, so crazy,
Speaker 1: But it's I've been you know, I've been excited to
Speaker 1: be able to wind down a little bit and just
Speaker 1: you know, enjoy some things that I want to enjoy.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, do you win, Nate? Like, I think
Speaker 1: I've asked you this before, but maybe it's changed now
Speaker 1: that summer's coming around and you have time to actually plan. Yeah,
Speaker 1: have you guys talked more about moving in together? Like
Speaker 1: where that's going to be? Or win? Like now you
Speaker 1: have three months off, is it going to be soon? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I feel like that's the burning question that you know,
Speaker 1: any time I do a Q and I online, I
Speaker 1: was like, why aren't you moved in yet? Are you
Speaker 1: moving in together? And really it's just that we're trying
Speaker 1: to figure out where we want to be in, what
Speaker 1: location we want to be with and or be at,
Speaker 1: and it's it's just a constant, ongoing conversation and kind
Speaker 1: of depends, you know, what is next year going to
Speaker 1: look like? For me? Am I going to be in
Speaker 1: the classroom? Am I going to try to do something
Speaker 1: outside the classroom? And then him right now he's working remotely,
Speaker 1: but they might be going back into the office, and
Speaker 1: so we're kind of just taking both of our positions
Speaker 1: into consideration. And then once the school year is done,
Speaker 1: I think that's I'm going to have a better idea of,
Speaker 1: you know, where I'm going to be and then he
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna kind of cater to that. Figure
Speaker 1: it out together, Yeah, figure it out together. I am
Speaker 1: looking outside in San Diego and it's about seventy two.
Speaker 1: It's perfectly studying that a cloud in the sky. Yes,
Speaker 1: but you said you're moving to New York, like you
Speaker 1: said you might in New York but when I say that,
Speaker 1: I mean you could get there and then you'd be
Speaker 1: like when I say when I say in New York,
Speaker 1: I mean like four three months, Like we're not moving
Speaker 1: temporarily to spend like it's gonna be a super long vacation. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like we would do a quarter, like a quarter and
Speaker 1: and like this is home base and once we have
Speaker 1: Thomas song, we'll talk about it more. But like he's
Speaker 1: already started looking for houses here, so like we will
Speaker 1: be in San Diego. We're just gonna do New York
Speaker 1: for a couple months. Okay, got it. It's not like
Speaker 1: the Joe and Serena where we're going to sign a
Speaker 1: lease for a year plus and move everything. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be basically like to say, amount of time that I
Speaker 1: was gone on tour would be us in New York.
Speaker 1: That would be fun. Yeah, honestly, that would be so fun.
Speaker 1: And then after that three months, would you come back
Speaker 1: San Diego or would you try to choose like a
Speaker 1: different place. I think we would do San Diego. Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's nowhere else. Like I mean, we love New York
Speaker 1: and we want to spend time there, but San Diego
Speaker 1: is home now and we love it. Thomas's family is here,
Speaker 1: so we would definitely come back here. And that's not
Speaker 1: to say we wouldn't one day be like, oh, let's
Speaker 1: go here for a month or two and work remotely,
Speaker 1: because we have luxury of being able to do that,
Speaker 1: which is really nice. So yeah, we'll see. But San
Speaker 1: Diego will always be home. I say that now. I
Speaker 1: still have my place in La But right, I just
Speaker 1: just about to ask you about that. But going back
Speaker 1: to my question about you and Nate and kind of plans,
Speaker 1: I mean, it will all unfold as it shouldn't. I
Speaker 1: can't wait to fall along. I know you have so
Speaker 1: many supporters that are so excited for you whenever your
Speaker 1: place and time comes. So but again, san Diego, just
Speaker 1: sing in Rodney's down here too, and I know that
Speaker 1: would make me happy. Yes, but I wouldn't see him
Speaker 1: you wanted to see. You want to see na or Rodney.
Speaker 1: You wouldn't see either of them because they'd be together.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't see either, or I would just never see
Speaker 1: me alone, you know, Yeah, I mean you would date
Speaker 1: both of them. No, I love Rodney. Ego needs to
Speaker 1: get a place that has an extra bedroom or like
Speaker 1: a du guesthouse in the back that that Rodney can
Speaker 1: live in like those Shoot, no, there's actually things that
Speaker 1: my mom was talking about these before. It's like a
Speaker 1: grandma it's called like a grandma pod or something a
Speaker 1: grandpa pod, like grandparent pod. And it's these small little
Speaker 1: houses that people put in their backyards for their parents
Speaker 1: to come live in once they start getting older. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: granny flats. Yeah, granny flats exactly, So like that would
Speaker 1: be it. Or the situation where the boys would have
Speaker 1: bunk beds. Can you imagine step brothers with love beds?
Speaker 1: Your life is going to be so interested wherever you like.
Speaker 1: Oh god, I really might need to rethink this moving
Speaker 1: to San Diego possibility. I don't know if just move
Speaker 1: close because then you and I can hang out and
Speaker 1: be together. Okay, that's all of the guys can do
Speaker 1: their own thing. But I will say Thomas and I
Speaker 1: are looking at a house this week that does also
Speaker 1: have a granny flat that, um, you know, if you
Speaker 1: ever need a place to stay to get away from
Speaker 1: those two you kids, don't tell them that I get
Speaker 1: the house, they can go to the granny flots, have
Speaker 1: a granny flat together. Thomas will be there with them too,
Speaker 1: because they'll let Fomo if he's not allowed with the guys.
Speaker 1: The facts. He's just looking at me like you're looking
Speaker 1: at me like I'm wrong, but I'm right. It's so great,
Speaker 1: he said, it sounds nice. That's great. So I guess,
Speaker 1: what do you say? Should we bring the boys on?
Speaker 1: I think it's side. We're talking about them far too
Speaker 1: much to not have them be part of this right
Speaker 1: we want to do behind their back, just in front
Speaker 1: of their faith, our first gentleman of happy hour. Look
Speaker 1: at that dash. I know, I thought, Tomas, you're gonna
Speaker 1: show with the mustache. I went, I looked and it
Speaker 1: was too white. But I gotta say, Nate, I respect
Speaker 1: the fact that you probably just said that joke. They're like,
Speaker 1: wait a second, this is kind of fire. We're just
Speaker 1: gonna you know, like I grew on me like. It's
Speaker 1: probably like a minute of like what did I just do?
Speaker 1: And then minute too I was like, it's here to stay. Michelle,
Speaker 1: what was your first reaction? My My response was, what
Speaker 1: did you do? Is that here to stay? Like? I
Speaker 1: just basically repeated everything Nate said, but in a different job. Um,
Speaker 1: But I mean, I feel like did you. I don't
Speaker 1: think you did it as a joke. I think you legit.
Speaker 1: We're like, I'm gonna give myself a mustache. Oh no,
Speaker 1: because I told I told you. I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna cut off my beard. And then
Speaker 1: you're like, no, no, do it. I was like, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna cut it all the way off, just like
Speaker 1: a little bit. So at first I kept the gotee
Speaker 1: and just the mustache. I was like, I look wild.
Speaker 1: So I took off the goatee and just kept a mustache.
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, you know what, this this
Speaker 1: might have to be it. This might have to be it.
Speaker 1: Let's start us off right. Cheers to everyone, Cheers to
Speaker 1: the first gentleman of Bachelor Happy Hour. Oh I think
Speaker 1: that's us, Nate. We are He's all over Now. We
Speaker 1: need Leo here too, but a fellas, I'm so excited
Speaker 1: we finally have you. We've been wanting to do this
Speaker 1: little double date set up for a while, so I'm
Speaker 1: glad you could both join us. Such a sweetheart, Hi, sweetie,
Speaker 1: does he have a boat tie on? No, that's just
Speaker 1: his hair. Oh my gosh, he looks so properly. It's like, no,
Speaker 1: you just naturally naturally distinguished. We need we need to
Speaker 1: get all the dogs together for a play date. Oh well,
Speaker 1: well when you guys moved to San Diego will be
Speaker 1: super Yeah that's what Beck. Then I were just talking
Speaker 1: about before you guys jumped on, because you were talking
Speaker 1: about how you potentially might move to New York for like,
Speaker 1: not move, but spend a few months in New York. Um,
Speaker 1: and then you know, look looking at something some things
Speaker 1: I cannot talk either today, Becca looking he at some
Speaker 1: things in San Diego as well. That's already in the works,
Speaker 1: I mean being submitted this week, so we'll see. Oh
Speaker 1: it's like really in the works. Oh yeah, like it's
Speaker 1: already finance already checked out. We already have everything planned out.
Speaker 1: If we submit, I'll sell my this proper that we're
Speaker 1: in right now, and that will fund the down payment
Speaker 1: anything else. Then, I don't think we're that far along.
Speaker 1: He's making it seem like it's all all good, and
Speaker 1: I don't think we're quite there yet. Oh we're there.
Speaker 1: Plan is he Is he the planner in your relationship?
Speaker 1: Would you say? No, who's the planner? We both are
Speaker 1: in different ways, Like I'm more of the one to
Speaker 1: plan little things like dinners, get together stuff like that.
Speaker 1: He's the bigger picture guy of like house hunting, business
Speaker 1: oriented things. Right, I would say, I'm the very enthused one,
Speaker 1: and I get excited over just a lot of big
Speaker 1: picture ideas. So I think she said that perfectly. Yes,
Speaker 1: but also that's funny. We're not quite there yet. Um,
Speaker 1: but I want to catch up with you too, really quick,
Speaker 1: because Michelle, before we had the guys come on, you
Speaker 1: obviously talked a little bit about how you both were
Speaker 1: just in Canada. So, Nate, how was that being back there?
Speaker 1: It was great. I mean, it's always wanted to be
Speaker 1: with family, right, so it was fun. It was fun.
Speaker 1: I got to uh, what did we do? I work
Speaker 1: the entire time, so I didn't. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: was just a round family. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: really did much. We got your dad on the VR headset.
Speaker 1: Oh right, right, right, right right. The world needs to
Speaker 1: see that. By the way, what did you think? My
Speaker 1: Dad's just hilarious. He had a ball. Your family still
Speaker 1: love Michelle? Oh yeah, oh yeah, even if they didn't,
Speaker 1: I don't know if he would say that right now.
Speaker 1: It's fun, It's like it's like my dad loves Michelle
Speaker 1: more than anybody else in the family at this point,
Speaker 1: and it's kind of like we all look at my
Speaker 1: dad like yo, like you just met her, like I'm
Speaker 1: your son, you know, like your honor over here like
Speaker 1: the future daughter in law. Though no, no, I'm talking
Speaker 1: about like like my sister. I know my sister feels
Speaker 1: the same way. She's like you know what, like Dad,
Speaker 1: like I'm right here, like Michelle just came in for
Speaker 1: a picture, like what's up? Like how do the feeling
Speaker 1: is that? Though? Like the fact of the matter is
Speaker 1: the woman that you love, who you brought home, Like
Speaker 1: she's so dearly held in eyes of your family, Like
Speaker 1: how good does that feel? She has my whole family
Speaker 1: wrapped around her finger. And I spent twenty seven years
Speaker 1: trying to get my dad to I'm too personal. Now
Speaker 1: my dad is obsessed with Michelle. So it is cute.
Speaker 1: Do we need to have a little therapy session? Do
Speaker 1: you need to hug? I feel like I wanted my
Speaker 1: dad to love me the way that he loves you.
Speaker 1: But listen, n I can attest to that because I
Speaker 1: where I think my mom loves this guy more than me.
Speaker 1: And she's like, she's upsassed with Thomas. She I think
Speaker 1: probably texts him more than she texts me. It's precious,
Speaker 1: but it does feel good knowing that your family loves
Speaker 1: and embraces somebody so much. Yeah. No, Like I'll call
Speaker 1: my dad. I'm like hey, like like, how are you doing?
Speaker 1: I'm good? How's Michelle? You know, it's just like the
Speaker 1: first question. You know, he doesn't ask me actually because
Speaker 1: I ask him how are you doing? He's like, I'm good,
Speaker 1: how's Michelle. It's like usually you're supposed to ask me,
Speaker 1: like how are you doing? But like, Michelle's great. I'm
Speaker 1: also fine too. You were wondering, No Canada. Canada was
Speaker 1: a lot of fun though, And I mean Nate and
Speaker 1: I have spoke about this before, just loving different parts
Speaker 1: of different families, and you know, Nate's family he grew
Speaker 1: up with not talking about like a lot of emotions
Speaker 1: or whatever, and so the show was a whole new
Speaker 1: world and has still been a whole new world. But
Speaker 1: it's been pretty fun to see his dad just like
Speaker 1: come to life and go on this like VR headset.
Speaker 1: We threw him on a roller coaster. He we should
Speaker 1: just Nate tell me when I have the green light
Speaker 1: to share that video because it is hilarious. He had
Speaker 1: the time of his life. I mean, he took it
Speaker 1: like a champ. It was like, was it the Jurassic
Speaker 1: Park one. I don't know which one it was, but
Speaker 1: it was it was it was It was a scary
Speaker 1: roller coaster and he did really well. So yeah, my
Speaker 1: stepfam texting me like the day I left. He was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: your dad wants to buy a VR headset on the
Speaker 1: roller coaster Christmas present? Christmas present, Baby, You're throwing a
Speaker 1: VR on his head and having dinosaurs pop up, no wonder.
Speaker 1: He's asking how Michelle's do and he's like, I'm not
Speaker 1: forgiving NT for this Traumatized I will say, though I have.
Speaker 1: I don't even think Nate knows this, but I have
Speaker 1: in a whole album that is titled Nate VR because
Speaker 1: amount of times that this guy throws on the headset.
Speaker 1: It is comic cult because there's like six eight men
Speaker 1: with these massive glasses and he's screaming and he's just
Speaker 1: having like the time of his life. How could you
Speaker 1: not be happy? Like I just sit there and just
Speaker 1: smile and also hope that my TV or my walls
Speaker 1: or my ceilings don't get scuffed up because this work?
Speaker 1: Have you never had one? I get stuck in the metaverse.
Speaker 1: I am stuck there. It's like unhealthy. Man. I'm talking
Speaker 1: to strangers like I've never been again the strangers great conversations. Wait,
Speaker 1: this is like what's the movie where the guy falls
Speaker 1: in love with the like recording her it's called her. Yes,
Speaker 1: this is gonna be Nate very soon until it ends
Speaker 1: up like x Mochia and all of a sudden, we're like,
Speaker 1: what is going on? I get stuck in the metaverse,
Speaker 1: Like are you saying you transcended like this human existence
Speaker 1: now you just belong to the metaverse? It's yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that just answered the question where a Michelle
Speaker 1: and Nate moving. They're moving straight to the metaverse. The
Speaker 1: metaverse sound really weird. Since you guys, like, since you
Speaker 1: guys like haven't like looked into the metaverse and all that.
Speaker 1: But I'm looking at buying buying real estate right now
Speaker 1: in the metaverse, Like, yes, what are your thoughts about Michelle?
Speaker 1: I saw those eyes go up. That's I'm laughing. That's
Speaker 1: where our that's where our gift from the franchise is going.
Speaker 1: That's where not a real house, but the house for
Speaker 1: the Metaverse. Have fun. Oh it really is kind of great.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to get into right now, but offline,
Speaker 1: like if you guys are interested, it is insane. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, I can't wait for legal reasons. This as
Speaker 1: a joke. Please know when you're in San Diego, please
Speaker 1: bring the headset, Please bring that. No, I don't want
Speaker 1: Thomas to start it. I don't want him to get hugged. No,
Speaker 1: you will get hugged, corrupt me. He met far from him.
Speaker 1: It's just me the dogs on the couch, chilling. And
Speaker 1: then we're just watching him and we're ready to like
Speaker 1: adjust because he does swing quite a bit when he
Speaker 1: especially when he's in the Matrix version and so right now,
Speaker 1: but when when she logs onto the Metaverse, Oh she is,
Speaker 1: she's she's connected. No, no, it truly, it truly is fun.
Speaker 1: It's just more that I when Nate has the beer
Speaker 1: headset on, he gets so into the game that he
Speaker 1: kind of ignores his surroundings. And so I can name
Speaker 1: a solid four people who have already been clocked by Nate.
Speaker 1: Poll outright, her clocked and connected. So me and the
Speaker 1: dogs just sit there wide eyed, like ready to move
Speaker 1: in dodge at anytime. You know, do you guys give
Speaker 1: yourself time limits of the like of how long you
Speaker 1: can go on for? Does time exists in the metaverse?
Speaker 1: Do I give him time limits? I feel like I
Speaker 1: need to give him something? Yeah? No, truly, it's like here,
Speaker 1: you could have thirty seven minutes today, or you did
Speaker 1: your chores, you can have an extra forty five. How
Speaker 1: are we in there for? Well, I mean there's something
Speaker 1: called called a fiance real life. Maybe I'm really solving it,
Speaker 1: but like friends, you know, like I'm in there for like,
Speaker 1: you know, thirty minutes at a time. It's just exact
Speaker 1: vein though, Michelle, you've experienced it yourself. Do you see
Speaker 1: like future application for this translating to the classroom yourself
Speaker 1: as a teacher. I'm sure there's gonna be usage of this.
Speaker 1: I've actually already brought it into the classroom last year,
Speaker 1: where there are these VR headsets that these kids can
Speaker 1: go into this kind of situation and they're at a
Speaker 1: museum or they're traveling different spots in the world, and
Speaker 1: so we um. At one of my other schools, we
Speaker 1: had something called Festival of Learning, and so they were
Speaker 1: able to go into this VR headset and go, you know,
Speaker 1: to the tropics and learn about all these different things.
Speaker 1: And so, yeah, it has been brought in, but it's
Speaker 1: something that's still super new. Um, but I think it
Speaker 1: would be super powerful. The future of VR is actually
Speaker 1: like like we're I'm making fun of it because it
Speaker 1: is kind of like a joke, but like the future
Speaker 1: of VR, I can see it being like pretty intense.
Speaker 1: And here's this millennial over here who grew up watching
Speaker 1: the Disney Channel and love Smarthouse as a child, and
Speaker 1: now we're talking about this shit. It's wild. All I
Speaker 1: know is Wally is one of my all time favorite
Speaker 1: like New Age animated films, Like it made me cry
Speaker 1: like that strong. I'm just afraid we're gonna end up
Speaker 1: like that. And all of a sudden, we just trash everything.
Speaker 1: We can't walk. Earth is just a desolate wasteland. Seriously, look,
Speaker 1: and now we're getting dark. That's some power. We have
Speaker 1: talked about VR and the metaverse for far too long.
Speaker 1: I think we just got sucked in the metaverse, Like
Speaker 1: we did get stuck, You really get stuck. Our listeners
Speaker 1: are gonna be like move on to listen to Happy
Speaker 1: Hour and to get the dirty details of you couples
Speaker 1: and not listen to VR. Welcome to Detect run Keys
Speaker 1: with your host Becca Kufin and Michelle. You hung half
Speaker 1: when we bring the boys on mustache and VR headset. Hey,
Speaker 1: we're not getting back. Maybe give it a couple of months,
Speaker 1: give it a few months. Um, I don't know, but
Speaker 1: we actually do have a list of fun questions that
Speaker 1: we do want to ask you guys that I'm sure
Speaker 1: our listeners are dying to know. So I'm going to
Speaker 1: kick it off first Michelle. I'll just ask him a question.
Speaker 1: And this is for both of you guys, So Nate
Speaker 1: you can answer first, and then Thomas can go, Um,
Speaker 1: but what is the what do you think is the
Speaker 1: most romantic thing that Michelle has done for you? Oh? Okay,
Speaker 1: so um, let me go get it. I have no
Speaker 1: idea what this is Oculus headset on? Oh I do, okay,
Speaker 1: now I do come this jar and each jar is
Speaker 1: a reason why she loves me. Oh I love that
Speaker 1: is that once you're right there, Nate, that you want
Speaker 1: to have new experiences in life. Oh that's romantic, you know,
Speaker 1: it's pretty more romantic. So yeah, when did you make
Speaker 1: him that, Michelle? Um, that was when we were still
Speaker 1: like at our happy couple weekends and we're you know,
Speaker 1: back when she like really liked me, before the VR
Speaker 1: headset became a reality, back before he kissed me off. No, No,
Speaker 1: it was just it was just something where I'm not
Speaker 1: necessarily always good about talking about my emotions or verbally,
Speaker 1: you know, speaking about them, and so I was like,
Speaker 1: I do have all these things that I really like
Speaker 1: about this person, and so let me write them down.
Speaker 1: And so I actually would write them down when they
Speaker 1: come to my mind, and then once I had a
Speaker 1: decent amount, then I put them on like those pieces
Speaker 1: of paper, into a jar so that I can give
Speaker 1: them to him. I love that. Did you go through
Speaker 1: all of them right away, Nate? Or do you just
Speaker 1: take them out one by one whenever the mood strikes you? No,
Speaker 1: I dumped out the jar was like ego, Bruce, Yes, Nate,
Speaker 1: attack that jar like the attacks a bag of candy.
Speaker 1: He just dumped it on first cent. It's like it
Speaker 1: would have been super romantic, like he could read one
Speaker 1: every single day until the time we were going to
Speaker 1: see each other again. But he was just like my
Speaker 1: laughing and like talking like keep it coming, keep it coming,
Speaker 1: either way. I love either way. Um, Okay, Thomas, do
Speaker 1: you want to answer it? Yeah, I'm nervous. I would
Speaker 1: say the most romantic loving thing that Becca has done
Speaker 1: for me isn't necessarily like one particular grand gesture. You're
Speaker 1: just really good at just checking in on a day
Speaker 1: to day basis and just making sure that I feel loved,
Speaker 1: whether it's just little things like what can I get you?
Speaker 1: Do you need this? Oh? I would love to cook
Speaker 1: dinner to night. Oh no, don't worry about I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take care of that. Like for me being take knowing
Speaker 1: that you're going out of your way to check in
Speaker 1: on me and make sure I'm taking care of That's
Speaker 1: the most loving thing that you do in my eyes.
Speaker 1: All this is so sorry, Nate. I can kiss you
Speaker 1: through the screen. I guess I could lean forward and
Speaker 1: plant one on the camera when that remix. Okay, all right, Becca,
Speaker 1: I have a question for you about Thomas. Yes, how
Speaker 1: do you think you have influenced each other? Like being
Speaker 1: around Thomas? How has he influenced you? Oh? God, how
Speaker 1: has Thomas influenced me? Like? What's rubbed off? Um, he well,
Speaker 1: I can be a monster, and so he has truly
Speaker 1: made me at times take steps steps back to be
Speaker 1: and it is a work in progress. So I have
Speaker 1: not mastered this yet, I will say that, but to
Speaker 1: be more patient and to be I think especially just
Speaker 1: to be more grateful and appreciative of the things we
Speaker 1: have in life, because we are very lucky to be
Speaker 1: blessed with such an incredible life, and sometimes especially I think,
Speaker 1: like getting wrapped up in the show and the like
Speaker 1: the Bachelor World, where especially when you're filming and you
Speaker 1: have this whole season about you and everyone's kind of
Speaker 1: catering to you, it's easy to lose sight of that
Speaker 1: or to take things for granted. And so he has
Speaker 1: really made me step back and appreciate the little things
Speaker 1: and to be more cognizant and aware and vocal about that. Again,
Speaker 1: it's the work in progress. I don't always the fact
Speaker 1: that you just acknowledge that, because right when the questions asked,
Speaker 1: the first two things that popped in my mind was
Speaker 1: I hope like gratitude and patience, And I mean that
Speaker 1: speaks volumes that you went there too. Oh, I'm very,
Speaker 1: very just take it away. I'm very impatient, so um
Speaker 1: and Thomas is very slow sometimes I love you, but
Speaker 1: progress every day. I just like to enjoy the most
Speaker 1: out of every moment in life. Some people call it slow.
Speaker 1: I call it perspective. What you Thomas, You you're very
Speaker 1: much like a stop and smell the roses kind of person.
Speaker 1: You live in the moment for sure, absolutely sure is Yeah.
Speaker 1: What about Nate, Nate? What do you have to say? Um?
Speaker 1: But no, I guess Michelle. Let me start with you first,
Speaker 1: what has how has Nate influenced you? And then I
Speaker 1: want to have Nate answer that same question. Write down
Speaker 1: what you think she's going to say, and then hold
Speaker 1: it up. This is actually good idea. Do you have
Speaker 1: any idea what I want to say? Um? No, not
Speaker 1: at all. I would say that I think what Nate
Speaker 1: really helps me do is just it is easy to like,
Speaker 1: there's so many just different things that are going on
Speaker 1: at one time, whether it's you know, being emotionally attached
Speaker 1: to work, being emotional about just every other thing that
Speaker 1: is going on in my life. And I think what
Speaker 1: Nate does is like in those moments where I'm feeling
Speaker 1: anxious or I'm really struggling with that. He's able to
Speaker 1: even just today we had a situation where it's he's
Speaker 1: helps me take a step back and look at it
Speaker 1: realistically of like this isn't something that we need to
Speaker 1: spend energy on or you know, he is a very realistic,
Speaker 1: honest person. And I think for me, sometimes I can
Speaker 1: be really positive, but then that's like ignoring an issue
Speaker 1: at times, and so he really does help me and
Speaker 1: challenge me to actually like push and actually talk about
Speaker 1: that issue and be real about it. And so I think,
Speaker 1: like you said, Becca, it's not how I'm worried that,
Speaker 1: it's not how I'm wired necessarily, but he it's it's
Speaker 1: a way that has really helped me a lot. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I love that. How would you say Michelle's influence you? Um,
Speaker 1: I think it's Thom's ancern First let's see for me,
Speaker 1: I'd have to say with family just because of how
Speaker 1: like family oarrented you are, Michelle. Um, and then just
Speaker 1: like obviously I'm family warrented too, but I don't know,
Speaker 1: You're just different with your family, and you know, like
Speaker 1: I think that kind of grubs off called me sometimes
Speaker 1: with how I am with my family or like how
Speaker 1: I've interact with my family things like that, so I'd
Speaker 1: have to say, just in the fine family, I aspect
Speaker 1: you definitely influenced me in a positive way. Oh yes,
Speaker 1: this kind of isn't their py session. Wow, I'm not crying.
Speaker 1: You crying? Okay? Um, what was a big deal at
Speaker 1: the beginning? These are hard questions. What was a big
Speaker 1: deal at the beginning of the relationship That isn't anymore? Thomas,
Speaker 1: you want to start this one? The funny obvious one
Speaker 1: was initially She's like, oh, well I just bought this
Speaker 1: house now way and we have and then like ten
Speaker 1: months later, Yeah, that wasn't really a big deal. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I would say that the biggest deal was just coping
Speaker 1: with who we were and just the situation that we
Speaker 1: found ourselves in where we have your story coming from
Speaker 1: your experience with the franchise and then mine, and then
Speaker 1: how we blend that together and put all that on
Speaker 1: the back burners and just enjoy life day to day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that came is naturally. I mean when we were even
Speaker 1: on the beach to the time we just spent time
Speaker 1: each other's homes, everything was felt natural. So I think
Speaker 1: one thing for both of us I would say is
Speaker 1: when we met each other. It was obviously Katie's season
Speaker 1: of The Bout Shrut was airing when we were on
Speaker 1: the beach, and I was watching clips and the episodes
Speaker 1: of him looking like you know, this terrible villain on
Speaker 1: the TV show and seeing him firsthand in daily life
Speaker 1: how he interacted with everyone on the beach was totally
Speaker 1: different from what the show was making him out to be.
Speaker 1: And so for a while it was like this weird
Speaker 1: and fuck of like, okay, but who are you really? Like?
Speaker 1: Are you who I'm seeing in real life in real
Speaker 1: time or is it you know, what this show is
Speaker 1: portraying you to be. And so to just go from
Speaker 1: that for a while and to not like fully understand
Speaker 1: like the why behind of like why that was happening
Speaker 1: and like why he was getting that edit was really
Speaker 1: difficult for me personally for a little bit. But I
Speaker 1: will say what helped a lot was the fact that
Speaker 1: once we were done film in Paradise, we still had
Speaker 1: to be in hiding until the show finished airing. So
Speaker 1: for months, what was it, three months, three or four
Speaker 1: months till the finale, we had to be in hiding,
Speaker 1: and so I literally just had to get to know
Speaker 1: him for him, and we would sneak out and like
Speaker 1: see his family and some of his friends, so I
Speaker 1: could actually see him in his real life with his
Speaker 1: people that you have known him for his entire life,
Speaker 1: which helped. But that actually was nice because I could
Speaker 1: actually get a baseline for who he truly was and
Speaker 1: not what the show made him out to be, which
Speaker 1: was very helpful. But it was just like that weird
Speaker 1: limbo phase of like, you know, why are you a
Speaker 1: villain on TV? But really great in person because one
Speaker 1: of our within our last conversation on the beach, one
Speaker 1: of the big striking points I had was your biggest
Speaker 1: problem with our relationship at that time was we didn't
Speaker 1: have problems. You're asking you, is this real life? Is
Speaker 1: this really who you were? And then in that time
Speaker 1: we got to spend together like, Yeah, this is who
Speaker 1: I am. This so I've always been? Yeah, And then
Speaker 1: just finding that trust and faith in each other. That's
Speaker 1: was the biggest roadblock we had a climb. And then
Speaker 1: in that I mean, that's what brought us to where
Speaker 1: we are today, which is everything. So yeah, I had
Speaker 1: to go through that little hurdle, but it was all
Speaker 1: worth a wild experience. I know it's crazy, right, it's crazy.
Speaker 1: What about you two? Um, let's see does anything come
Speaker 1: to your mind? Nate? Um? Well, so just repeat the
Speaker 1: original question really quick. What was a big deal at
Speaker 1: the beginning of your relationship that isn't necessarily an issue anymore.
Speaker 1: I don't know it was a big deal. I think
Speaker 1: like both Michelle and I were like like hyper aware
Speaker 1: that we've never gone through a fighter argument and just
Speaker 1: like how unnatural that is, because usually when you meet
Speaker 1: somebody in like a natural cadence, you're gonna have disagreements,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have fights, you're gonna have arguments things like
Speaker 1: that early on or not early on, you know, I
Speaker 1: mean like somewhere early on, nothing before you get you Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So, like, so I think
Speaker 1: it wasn't like a big deal to us, and it's
Speaker 1: kind of just like like super like hyper aware of
Speaker 1: like all right, like we've like this has been super easy,
Speaker 1: like we're smooth sailing, like no fights, no nothing. But
Speaker 1: it's not a big deal now because Michelle and I
Speaker 1: fight every other day, so work for it. Nailed it,
Speaker 1: I feel, quick followup question on that with that awareness
Speaker 1: that you guys had coming off the show. What if
Speaker 1: you guys learned out yourselves and each other now in
Speaker 1: this engagement being long distance and not being able to
Speaker 1: do with each other all the time. Um, shoot for me,
Speaker 1: I mean, like we're both kind of the type of
Speaker 1: people that whatever we're upset, like we just need to
Speaker 1: like give me five ten, We're good. You know, in
Speaker 1: five ten we come back, it's like, what are we
Speaker 1: fighting about? Like this this is nothing, you know, you
Speaker 1: know without that five ten, you know, if I can
Speaker 1: kind of like grow from there. But if Michelle and
Speaker 1: I take our five ten, we're good. Yeah, that's definitely.
Speaker 1: That's my takeaway of how how her and I like
Speaker 1: handle toughy situations is like give me five ten, give
Speaker 1: Michelle five ten, and we're good. So yeah, I think.
Speaker 1: I mean, just even with me and Nate, what I've
Speaker 1: realized is that a lot of times we're saying or
Speaker 1: agreeing on the same thing, but the way Nate communicates,
Speaker 1: in the way I communicate, in the way that we
Speaker 1: receive communication is very very different than we're both used to,
Speaker 1: and so there's times where it's like we get done,
Speaker 1: like we're something out and it's like we were saying
Speaker 1: the same thing the whole time, but I was hyper
Speaker 1: focused on this area and you were hyper focused on
Speaker 1: this area where you know, for me, I just I'm
Speaker 1: very I want you to know what I mean and
Speaker 1: like my meaning, and you know, for him, he's he's
Speaker 1: very literal also, and so it's like we kind of
Speaker 1: go back and forth. But like Nate said, just taking
Speaker 1: that five to ten minutes, I feel like we're able
Speaker 1: to I'm able to think through the emotions part, He's
Speaker 1: able to think through the literal part. And then we
Speaker 1: come back and we're like, okay, like we're both on
Speaker 1: the same page. This is what we need moving forward.
Speaker 1: We're good, move on. That's beautiful because that directly reflects
Speaker 1: what you guys both said, what you've learned from each other.
Speaker 1: I mean, Michelle you were saying, Nate helps you really
Speaker 1: hunker down and see what really matters in that breathwork.
Speaker 1: Nate you were saying, you as a person, you need
Speaker 1: a process and literally go through every single focal point
Speaker 1: of things. Then that's what's making you, guys relationships strong
Speaker 1: and long distance, Like are you kidding me? All that
Speaker 1: is amazing, but not even the fact that like long
Speaker 1: distance is hard enough, and being in a relationship with
Speaker 1: you know, men and women operate very differently differently for
Speaker 1: the most part. And add on the fact that you
Speaker 1: are in the public eye and everybody saw your relationship
Speaker 1: unfold and of course have their two sense to say
Speaker 1: about you two and have their opinions and their comments
Speaker 1: and their criticism. That layer adds on so much extra stress.
Speaker 1: And if you can just recognize that and be able
Speaker 1: to talk through that and like still have each other's
Speaker 1: backs and be supportive and get through whatever the argument
Speaker 1: or conflict is is so important. And and it's always
Speaker 1: probably going to be that way. I mean, just speaking
Speaker 1: from experience, that's always going to be there. It makes
Speaker 1: it so difficult. But it's good that you guys are
Speaker 1: both on the same page and can kind of take
Speaker 1: that five to ten talk through. You know, Okay, you're
Speaker 1: probably coming at it this way. I'm coming at it
Speaker 1: this way. Let's meet in the middle and work through.
Speaker 1: This is so important, right. I want to add ask
Speaker 1: you guys this because when you go on the show,
Speaker 1: you know, like of course, Michelle, you are there to
Speaker 1: date all of these men. Thomas Port that Margarita, baby,
Speaker 1: you were there to date all these men and like, yes,
Speaker 1: they're your boyfriends, but do you feel like you missed
Speaker 1: that boyfriend girlfriend's stage in a way because you literally
Speaker 1: went from dating multiple people to then getting engaged and
Speaker 1: it's it's such a weird transition. Did that ever bother
Speaker 1: you or hinder you too? To be like, we missed
Speaker 1: such a huge chunk of our relationship. Do you want
Speaker 1: me to go first night? Or do you want to go?
Speaker 1: I feel like we both have had so many conversations
Speaker 1: about just taking our time and enjoying each other's company
Speaker 1: and figuring that out where it's really important for me
Speaker 1: to never leave that dating stage, whether you know we're
Speaker 1: in we're engaged, or we're been married for howeverman years.
Speaker 1: I think what's weird is that you go from this
Speaker 1: situation where all these dates are planned for you and
Speaker 1: all of these you know, massive gestures are planned, and
Speaker 1: I think what Nate and I really love to do
Speaker 1: is just have things that are simple. But we're also
Speaker 1: still in long distance and so getting to that point
Speaker 1: where eventually when we're living in the same area to
Speaker 1: pick up that dating piece. But I think that comes
Speaker 1: when we are in that you know, in that stage
Speaker 1: just because right now, it's like going to New York,
Speaker 1: like that whole thing it was a date. That whole
Speaker 1: weekend was a date going to La together, that whole
Speaker 1: that whole weekend is a date in a getaway going
Speaker 1: to Conrad, you know, in Mexico again. So I think, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that makes sense. I like it. Nate's like ditto. I
Speaker 1: mean I think I think like for Michelle and I
Speaker 1: honestly like early on we had that conversation of like, okay,
Speaker 1: that was that was a whirlwind, that was an experienced
Speaker 1: that we're never going to forget. I think the first day, yeah,
Speaker 1: the first day that we all met Michelle, she came
Speaker 1: down and she was like, I want somebody who can
Speaker 1: make natural of the unnatural. And so after the engagement,
Speaker 1: it was kind of like, okay, like you know, usually
Speaker 1: people don't get engaged after forty nine days and knowing
Speaker 1: each other, so call that the unnatural for sake of conversation,
Speaker 1: Let's now bring this back to the natural. So, yes,
Speaker 1: we're engaged, but let's definitely put our our focus on
Speaker 1: getting to know each other and dating and kind of
Speaker 1: going back to the basics of everything. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: and then I think that's definitely how we've treated this relationship.
Speaker 1: So yeah, and they will say and you, I'm sure
Speaker 1: you can attest to this, and Thomas, you probably can too,
Speaker 1: even though we're not engaged. Is so many people have
Speaker 1: their you know, especially on social media, their comments, their criticisms,
Speaker 1: like I said earlier, and somebody, people want you to
Speaker 1: do things or expect you to do things on a
Speaker 1: certain timeline or on their timeline because you met on
Speaker 1: a television show. And so the fact that you're not
Speaker 1: planning a wedding right now or not, you know, actively
Speaker 1: in the process of getting married, like they can't handle that.
Speaker 1: It's a lot. And I'm sure you've seen this too,
Speaker 1: of like get married already, half the wedding, half babies
Speaker 1: do this, do that because they saw you getting aage
Speaker 1: so fast. Isn't that funny? And like that part is
Speaker 1: so unnatural. Like you, if you were to have a
Speaker 1: conversation with any one of those people who are like, hey,
Speaker 1: get married, have this wedding, have babies, do all the things,
Speaker 1: it's like you do realize, like we've known each other
Speaker 1: a very short amount of time for what this world
Speaker 1: actually is and like what a relationship could be so
Speaker 1: like why are you who do you think you are
Speaker 1: going to tell us to have babies right now or
Speaker 1: to tell us to get married asaf like, but it's
Speaker 1: like you can't you can't win though. It's like you
Speaker 1: get off the show and they're like, you're this isn't
Speaker 1: You're not gonna like your relationships not going to work
Speaker 1: because you've only known yourself, like you only known each
Speaker 1: other for this amount of time. And then you're like okay,
Speaker 1: and then they're like, how come you're not married yet?
Speaker 1: How come you're not moved in. I'm like, you're just
Speaker 1: saying that we don't know each other, like Big One
Speaker 1: at least it's it's like, yeah, there's no happy media
Speaker 1: the world of bad short that's for sure. Um okay,
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about this, since you are
Speaker 1: obviously doing long distance right now, if you could go
Speaker 1: anywhere together, just the two of you at this moment
Speaker 1: in time, where would you be? All right? Answer answer
Speaker 1: three two one, grease okay out was not answered at
Speaker 1: the same time on the count of three greececialize that
Speaker 1: what you Yeah, we talked about that in overnights. Actually
Speaker 1: we need a new question. On this one because I
Speaker 1: was sorry, like I couldn't hear the right time, but
Speaker 1: I also knew there's a mull chance that it could
Speaker 1: be Europe. Mano comes running. So we have this thing
Speaker 1: and that I uses with my sister for the dogs
Speaker 1: of like if we were going in the car on
Speaker 1: a trip, we would call it Grace, and so we'd
Speaker 1: always be like, we're going to Greece, We're going to Grace,
Speaker 1: and of course walking over here running. Yeah, she's so
Speaker 1: confused though, She's like, why aren't we going in the car?
Speaker 1: She needs some water. Okay, wait, here's what I want
Speaker 1: to know about your relationship. What is like the funniest
Speaker 1: moment that has happened Grease, Grace. Funniest moment, Oh, there's
Speaker 1: one that immediately stands out to me. We're literally on
Speaker 1: our kitchen table playing dominoes, and out of nowhere, I
Speaker 1: don't know what overcame this woman right here. She was
Speaker 1: just like cry, laughing over the smallest little comment, and
Speaker 1: then I start cracking up and it was like eight
Speaker 1: minutes of I couldn't tell you the origin of this
Speaker 1: that we were just we were just laughing. Is I
Speaker 1: have the videos if you want to give me that
Speaker 1: little front phase. I don't remember that you lost your
Speaker 1: damn mine and it was amazing. Um, I don't the
Speaker 1: funniest moment with Thomas, I don't know what. We laugh
Speaker 1: a lot. Can I tell this story? It was also okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell a story. Okay. So I took Timis
Speaker 1: Universal Studios for the first time and he had to
Speaker 1: get he had to get a um Harry Potter cloak
Speaker 1: and a wand, and so he went through this space
Speaker 1: after that for like a week or two straight where
Speaker 1: he had to wear this cloak and bring his wand
Speaker 1: absolutely everywhere, Like we would go to the dog park,
Speaker 1: he'd have the cloak and wand we'd go to freaking Starbucks,
Speaker 1: he'd have the cloaking Wand we had to go to
Speaker 1: Target one night to get some stuff. And you know,
Speaker 1: we're picking up the necessities and like maybe some food
Speaker 1: at the grocery store and he's wearing this cloak and
Speaker 1: wand and I'm pushing my car in front of him
Speaker 1: and he's walking behind me and he just rips one
Speaker 1: so freaking loud. I was so embarrassed. I've never seen
Speaker 1: her run away from me faster and a random man
Speaker 1: throw a spell. And it was like late at night,
Speaker 1: like target was about to close, so I didn't think
Speaker 1: anyone was gonna be there. And I turned around and
Speaker 1: there was somebody literally right behind Thomas walking and I blinded.
Speaker 1: I booked it all the way like on the other
Speaker 1: side of the store. I was like, I cannot be
Speaker 1: near you. And everyone's already kind of looking at him anyways,
Speaker 1: because he's the six sixth man in the Harry Potter
Speaker 1: robe with his pawcorn wand and I was like, what you. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: I see her sprint and it just sets me off.
Speaker 1: And I'm standing in the middle of produce. Now I'm
Speaker 1: just cackling wearing this robe. I can't control myself. You
Speaker 1: trually can't control yourself. That was one moment. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I can just totally see you, Thomas, like trying to
Speaker 1: blame it on a spell, but Aloha Moore. I truly
Speaker 1: opened up everything, Like wait, Thomas, wait, Thomas, what would
Speaker 1: you what would your spell have been if you were
Speaker 1: to blame that moment on a spell? That's my patronis
Speaker 1: you hit that one out. It was so embarrassing and
Speaker 1: like and it was it was there was a duck
Speaker 1: in there. My patronis just happens to be a duck
Speaker 1: that was going down. And it was like here's the
Speaker 1: thing too. And I don't want to say this in
Speaker 1: like a cocky way, but like people know Thomas lives
Speaker 1: in San Diego, and like there's a lot of Bachelor
Speaker 1: fans all across the country, and for whatever reason, going
Speaker 1: to that target, we always get stopped and like this
Speaker 1: sounds so conceited. And I don't mean it to sound
Speaker 1: like this, like stop for photos or like just to
Speaker 1: say they love God. The person who heard that knew
Speaker 1: exactly who we were, so they could just have that
Speaker 1: story please out. So I was so convinced, like somebody's
Speaker 1: gonna see Thomas and his cloak and like take photo.
Speaker 1: And I was just like this is it's a great cloak.
Speaker 1: It's a lovely, very fottered to point out that's at
Speaker 1: um thank you. The same question to YouTube, turn turn
Speaker 1: the tables. Can I tell the burrito story? When we
Speaker 1: were filming, they got me farting and target native of
Speaker 1: course you could tell burrito story. I got to tell
Speaker 1: that one. Okay, yeah, okay, n you tell the burrito story.
Speaker 1: So this is one of the first This is one
Speaker 1: of the first stories that Nate told me in fantasy
Speaker 1: suits actually conversations. Okay, as I love the fact that
Speaker 1: this year I cannot where there are no microphones. What
Speaker 1: do they talk about? This brito story? Tell you up
Speaker 1: like this, this like dead ass happened. I was traumatized,
Speaker 1: so too. We just got to uh to California start filming.
Speaker 1: Like this is before we even met Michelle. We're just
Speaker 1: like quarantining for for our few days whatever, and we're getting, um,
Speaker 1: we're getting all of our food delivered to the hotel room,
Speaker 1: right and so on this particular day, we had a

Speaker 1: Me a little nervous with the dogs around, but I'm
Speaker 1: gonna give it a got size. Let's do it. Our
Speaker 1: listeners are in for a treat this week. Okay, I
Speaker 1: want to ask both of you fellas this Nate, you
Speaker 1: can start, because Michelle obviously is beautiful in so many ways,
Speaker 1: but what is one thing that you find most beautiful
Speaker 1: in her? Ooh uh okay, give me twelve minutes like
Speaker 1: it right now. It takes me a while. I can't
Speaker 1: just say over her eyes there's the most beautiful part
Speaker 1: about the show? Um uh? I mean okay, Like we're
Speaker 1: not gonna go physical on this one. I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 1: gonna like kind of the same thing how she was
Speaker 1: with my family. I mean, it's beautiful to watch, so
Speaker 1: that's gotta be like how she's my sister, and my
Speaker 1: dad and my stepmom and my stepbrother and my stepsister
Speaker 1: and my brother and just everybody in the family, my mom,
Speaker 1: Like I mean, she's just she's great with with the
Speaker 1: whole family. So yeah, she's great with everyone. Family's family.
Speaker 1: So I have to say, I have to say that's
Speaker 1: the one. Oh great with everyone, all right, Thomas, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and say it's it's a shared Minnesotan
Speaker 1: thing with this one, because the Beck has a warmth
Speaker 1: in her that no matter the scenario we're in, whether
Speaker 1: it's family, friends, strangers, the twur the people she's around,
Speaker 1: she just wants to see everyone around her just experience
Speaker 1: like that same level of happiness. This is enthusiasm like
Speaker 1: that she would want herself, And for me, I think
Speaker 1: that's a beautiful thing to see in action and like
Speaker 1: try to wish upon those aroundment and more important to
Speaker 1: try to do the things to put that into action.
Speaker 1: So that's that's been my favorite thing when I'm around her,
Speaker 1: And I say that like a poet. I can watch her,
Speaker 1: but it's one of those things, like Nate, I'm sure
Speaker 1: you feel the same way I needed. I feel. The
Speaker 1: most pride is where we're just sitting back and you're
Speaker 1: just washing your loved one, dude, the thing that they do,
Speaker 1: and you're like, see, you know what, you have yourself
Speaker 1: a good one, all right because like you see how
Speaker 1: expressive Thomas is, Like I need lessons from you, Thomas. Yeah, Michell,
Speaker 1: really give my family. You know she's happen. It just
Speaker 1: takes him. It just takes him, you know, a minute.
Speaker 1: You know, it's not like that. You don't feel that,
Speaker 1: it's just it takes them a minute. But the thing is,
Speaker 1: the metaverse takes a second to process. So we've gone
Speaker 1: full circle and you are you just keep doing you.
Speaker 1: But n you know what I actually love and appreciate
Speaker 1: about you is the fact that you don't like a
Speaker 1: time limit. You're not like the rapid fire. It's like
Speaker 1: you really want to genuinely give an answer that means
Speaker 1: a lot, and you're not afraid to express that, which
Speaker 1: I think is a beautiful thing. Most people just say
Speaker 1: whatever comes to mind, and you're like, I need some time.
Speaker 1: I want to think of actually the best thing for
Speaker 1: my woman here. And the big power in that, Nate
Speaker 1: is like everything you're coming from, it's not just from
Speaker 1: the hit, like that is some result, that is some heart,
Speaker 1: that is some thought going into things. You get to
Speaker 1: take over the podcast talking with Thomas Therapy with Thomas
Speaker 1: seriously though, um, well no, Michelle, I want to ask
Speaker 1: you the same thing. What do you find most beautiful
Speaker 1: about Nate? His willingness to accept the people around them
Speaker 1: for who they are, so like he truly embraces who
Speaker 1: someone is, whether that's their flaws or not. He wants
Speaker 1: people to be like very real and acknowledge that, you know,
Speaker 1: acknowledge what they struggle with, acknowledge what they're get at.
Speaker 1: But he with whatever that is, he accepts it. And
Speaker 1: so I think that's the biggest thing. I could name
Speaker 1: a few other things, but I love that. I feel
Speaker 1: like more people need to be like that. That's a
Speaker 1: great quality. Yeah, yeah, you know if he has like
Speaker 1: a friend like and he really does. He has this
Speaker 1: amazing group of friends around him, and I think you
Speaker 1: can really see who somebody is by the people that
Speaker 1: around him. And he also has some you know, friends
Speaker 1: that are crazy, but like he loves them because they're crazy.
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, they're they're crazy, But he still genuinely
Speaker 1: sees a lot of good qualities in that person and
Speaker 1: just completely embraces who they are. Yeah, oh I love that.
Speaker 1: I'm going to um so. For Thomas, one of the
Speaker 1: most beautiful things is he truly, truly is the most welcoming, accepting,
Speaker 1: supportive person for anyone. He truly wants everyone to succeed
Speaker 1: in life and really builds them up and welcomes everyone
Speaker 1: like he's the type of guy that you ask for
Speaker 1: the shirt off his back, He'll give you that, and
Speaker 1: he'll give you his pants, He'll give you his sneakers,
Speaker 1: he'll make you a meal, he'll make sure you have
Speaker 1: a good drink. Like he will give everything and more
Speaker 1: to anyone. And that's I don't think enough people are
Speaker 1: like that, especially in this day and age, and so
Speaker 1: he truly wants to lift everybody else up around him.
Speaker 1: I agree. First time, I truly Thomas, like I got
Speaker 1: the exact same vibes, Like I was like this dude,
Speaker 1: this dude goes above and beyond for everybody. Well, just
Speaker 1: so so inclusive. Because I remember being at when we
Speaker 1: did like this photo shoot for like you know, all
Speaker 1: these different podcasts. Nate was like the significant other that
Speaker 1: couldn't be there, but he because he was working, but
Speaker 1: Thomas face timed him during the photo shoot and was like,
Speaker 1: look at your girl, like and at that time, you
Speaker 1: guys haven't even met in person. Correct, Yeah, no not
Speaker 1: yet and so yeah, so he completely just made sure
Speaker 1: to bring Nate into that situation and because he wasn't
Speaker 1: able to make it. So yeah, and then he was
Speaker 1: back there taking our photos. He's blowing the wings, he's
Speaker 1: throw it up the rose petals, checking the rose. I
Speaker 1: know for a fact Nate would have been doing that
Speaker 1: same exactly. Neighbor have been pelting the roses at me,
Speaker 1: like baseball at me. I don't know if somebody smacked me.
Speaker 1: We need to get that photo of like just rose.
Speaker 1: It was like a full It wasn't just the petals.
Speaker 1: It was like a full on rose that smacked the
Speaker 1: side of my face. So whoever did that, I mean
Speaker 1: thank you because that's exactly what Nate would have done.
Speaker 1: Totally joke. Oh my gosh, we got we need the
Speaker 1: last footage archives of this photo sho's doing. Okay, we're
Speaker 1: gonna ask one more question and then we're gonna get
Speaker 1: into um, just a quick little game here. So if
Speaker 1: you two had to describe your relationship in one word?
Speaker 1: What would it be one? You're actually like that at
Speaker 1: that point, I'm gonna be here for literally fifteen minutes.
Speaker 1: Then you can take this one question. Do you guys
Speaker 1: have one ready? See? Okay? This is also the funny
Speaker 1: thing about Becca and Thomas is that they make out
Speaker 1: during really important times that they're kissing. Well, we're just
Speaker 1: trying to think about a word. Okay. Up when during
Speaker 1: the final break up, like we didn't know the cameras
Speaker 1: were that he was getting right behind me. I thought
Speaker 1: they were straight on, so I thought it was from
Speaker 1: the front. That was the best. We're not on TV.
Speaker 1: We're gonna be fine. And in that moment I looked
Speaker 1: at them most like never break up with me like that.
Speaker 1: And that's when we made out. Um Okay, I'll say, okay,
Speaker 1: I need to describe our relationship and it's gonna be
Speaker 1: very simple. Um, and I'm just gonna say it's right.
Speaker 1: It's a right relationship that I have always I think
Speaker 1: belonged in, belonged with. So that's stupid. No, no, Nate,
Speaker 1: did you come up with one? I don't know one word.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's tough. We are blanking us. Becca's word.
Speaker 1: We're on a time crunch. Are we good to move
Speaker 1: to the game. We're gonna ask the gentleman of Bachelor
Speaker 1: Happy our first gentleman rapid fire. Don't forget the first.
Speaker 1: It's a rapid fire game for the first gentleman of
Speaker 1: Bachelor Happy Hour. We're basically basically going to ask both
Speaker 1: of you very easy question and you just have to
Speaker 1: answer whether it's you two or us ladies. Okay, yea,
Speaker 1: So basically I'll ask you who's the better cook? So, Nate,
Speaker 1: would you say you or Michelle? Every ready, that's the question? No,
Speaker 1: what I know? No, he is not the better cook.
Speaker 1: Let me. I knew he was gonna say this, and
Speaker 1: I actually came prepared because one because one when we
Speaker 1: cooked dinner for Thanksgiving, he pulled the turkey out of
Speaker 1: the oven. It was still raw, okay even but he
Speaker 1: didn't want to listen to me, but he pulled it out.
Speaker 1: And two, um, last night he sent me a picture
Speaker 1: of his dinner from Hello Fresh that he completely botched.
Speaker 1: It is like one of those Pinterest fails. To check
Speaker 1: this out. Okay, this is what it was supposed to
Speaker 1: look like. This is it's like these zucchini boats, and
Speaker 1: then this is what his has looked like. And he
Speaker 1: said it tastes like grass, so it doesn't look that bad.
Speaker 1: He said it tasted awful. But he's he's he's okay.
Speaker 1: I'll say this, he's a good cook, but I don't
Speaker 1: know if you're better. I think we need to have
Speaker 1: an Iron Chef showdown. Let's go, okay, can Thomas is
