WEBVTT - Noah Is Here! Plus: A Eulogy for Bennett 0:00:01.920 --> 0:00:05.560 Welcome back to another week Happy Hour listeners. Now, Rachel, 0:00:06.320 --> 0:00:10.440 the top of this episode really popped off because front 0:00:10.440 --> 0:00:12.760 and center we see this drama. We see this to 0:00:12.920 --> 0:00:15.800 be continued from last week with Bennett and Noah on 0:00:15.920 --> 0:00:19.160 this dreaded two on one, and we're definitely going to 0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:20.840 get into it today, but we're not going to do 0:00:20.880 --> 0:00:23.160 a full recap because we actually are going to have 0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:26.200 one of the men who was front and center in 0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:29.680 this drama, which is Noah himself. But before we bring 0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:31.400 him on, I know that I have to give the 0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:34.560 mic to you because you have a few special words prepared. 0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:37.800 I'm gonna try not to lose it as I speak 0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:41.040 these special words. The time is Combecca. I've alluded to Kleenex. 0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:44.279 I don't have Kleenex. Sadly, I guess I'll just have 0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:47.280 to use my own shirt. But the time has come 0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:49.919 a day I thought I would never see, and now 0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:52.040 we'd just like to prepare for the moment. I'm already 0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:55.440 dressed in black, obviously for the occasion. I'm gonna put 0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:58.040 on sunglasses because I'm not just I'm not quite sure 0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:00.960 how where my emotions are going to take me. But 0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:04.640 those of you watching I'm setting up a cross and 0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:09.039 athletic candle because we have some sad news to report today. 0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:16.520 In Battelns Embatturnation. Last night we lost someone great. And 0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:22.319 that's someone great was Bennett. Pause for dramatics. Now, I 0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:24.880 know we see Bennett pop up later in the episode, 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:26.560 but let's just be ho. I said, Hey, looking good 0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:30.039 for Bennett. So rather than drag this out for a 0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:32.680 whole nother week, I'm just going to or maybe two, 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:34.280 who knows. I don't know how long Ben it is saying, 0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:36.479 but I'm just going to nip it in the bud 0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:39.119 now because I don't think my emotions can take another 0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:47.080 few weeks of this. We lost one of the most charismatic, condescending, charming, 0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:53.640 and coolest cats to ever Grace Vatchurnation. The other men 0:01:54.640 --> 0:02:01.120 wish they could Bennett. We shall miss your wit, your jobs, 0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:07.720 your itms, your emotional intelligence, and your chateau. Bennett. I 0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:11.520 feel you were misunderstood. But if no one else understood you, 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:16.600 I did. I mean, Bennett, who even cares that you 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:20.960 could spell the word limousine? I can't either, but you 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:25.080 know what you can spell? Bennett. Car Service, private Jet, 0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:31.519 wealth Management, and Harvard, who cares that you couldn't solve 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:34.160 a problem that had to do with time, that had 0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:37.079 to do with clocks. You know what you can solve. 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:41.480 You know what. You can read somebody's financial statements, assets, 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:46.799 You can manage billions and billions of dollars. Bennett, Bennett, 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:50.960 you will be missed. You were one of a kind. 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:54.480 You were in a league of your own. And if 0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:58.120 there was a hall of fame of vatterination, gosh darneth, 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:01.520 you'd be in it. There will never be another Minnett, 0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:05.600 and we wish you well on your next journey. And 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:09.480 in saying that, I'd like to close with this, how 0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:13.480 do I say goodbye to the time we had? The 0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:18.880 good times that made me laugh outweigh the bad. I 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:24.240 thought we'd get to see forever, But forever's gone away. 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:34.200 It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday. Good Rachel, 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:37.160 Oh God, that was beautiful. I have tears in my 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:43.960 eyes for that lovely eulogy. And I just have to 0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:46.880 say now, Bennett is a lucky man to get those 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:51.040 words from you. And if and when I do die, Rachel, 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:54.320 will you please give the eulogy at my funeral? Back? 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:56.760 I don't even want to think about the moment. I 0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:58.440 don't want to think about that time to come. But 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:01.360 minnow is listen into your words, and she is gazing 0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:07.160 longingly out the window for what could have been. Oh, 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:10.400 that gets been rough, Rachel. I know you know. Well, 0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:12.600 we'll take a moment. Everyone, please give us a few 0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:16.560 moments of silence for Bennett and what could have been. 0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:22.440 And now we toast and drink this once for you 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:28.960 Bennett or whenever for Bennett. Everyone, you know, as sad 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:32.359 as it was to see Bennett go for you know, 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:35.440 a short amount of time last night, I will say 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:39.640 he has a bright future ahead of him, the horizons 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:44.159 that Bennett will grace, perhaps on Paradise, perhaps on dare 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:47.760 I say something bigger and better, such as Boucher one day, 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:50.680 that that gives me hope, and that that little light 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:55.440 will be carried in my heart. Same if you're watching this, 0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:59.720 you're watching me wipe away my non existent tears. Very 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:02.200 sim learn to how Noah did when he was talking 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:05.400 to Tasia and the one on one Did you notice 0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:09.680 that he had no tears? And I'm bitter, I'm upset. 0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:14.760 It is Noah who got my minnets set Oh and 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:18.080 I thought over it. I don't think a lot of 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:21.440 the guys have shed very many tears this season, not 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:25.279 over like issues with Tatia. It's like personal issues, right, 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:28.400 Like they cried over some other things that have that 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:31.839 have gone on in their lives. Um, you know, I 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:34.200 know we're not going to do a full recap, but 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:36.960 there were some things that stood out. This was like 0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:39.560 a little bit more of a chill episode. It started off, 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:42.120 you know, with a lot of drama, as we saw 0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:45.320 the Bennett went home. That's how I'm referring to him now, 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:50.240 is the Bennett he went home Noah State. Not over that. 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:55.200 But the rest of the episode was kind of you know, 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:57.200 we saw some things, we learned a little bit more 0:05:57.200 --> 0:06:00.880 about the men m and you know it's I feel 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:02.719 like now we're just getting back into like the typical 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:05.680 Bachelor of fashion. It really is like the There was 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:07.960 a little drama, there was a little romance. There was 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:11.120 a little bit of scandal in regards to like cheating 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:15.120 and pasts. But yeah, this this episode, besides the very 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:20.159 beginning and the very end, was pretty just mediocre in 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:23.320 my book. Yeah. Yeah, I mean we had the lie 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:25.159 detector test, and there is one thing I want to 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:29.479 talk about because it's a topic of conversation that it's 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:32.640 not new, but Tasia brought it up, and I think 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:35.440 that it's relevant and I'm very curious. I feel like 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:37.800 our bachel are happy hours listeners are gonna want to 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:39.960 hear our take on this. You know, we saw the 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:43.480 lie detector test, aka the light bulb test. That's just 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:45.080 what I'm going to call it, because that's what it was, 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:51.760 just lightbulbs going off whenever they wanted to. But Zach revealed, 0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:54.440 you know, Tasia asked Zach the question, have you ever cheated? 0:06:54.760 --> 0:07:00.320 And without hesitation, Zach said yes, And then Tatia is 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:02.880 really bothered by the fact that he has cheated before, 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:06.080 and she says the comment that, you know, she believes 0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:09.080 that once you're a cheater, you're always a cheater. And 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:11.880 I'm very curious with you, Becca, where do you stand 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:15.600 on that? Because people have strong opinions about this. Yeah, 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:18.880 I so funny enough. I actually well before we get 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:20.760 into the cheating, and I will say, I listen to 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:23.600 a lot of crime Juckey podcast and they always say, 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:26.320 don't trust a lite detector, so don't take it. So 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:28.280 when I saw this I'd be like, m I'm gonna 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:30.320 sit I'm I'm playing in the fifth I'm sitting this 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:36.240 one out. But they're not admissible in court. Yeah, so yeah, 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:39.120 don't trust a lie detector. But in terms of the cheating, 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:44.520 I actually just had this conversation with Caitlin Bristow because 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:49.440 we were discussing this very topic and in this situation Potasia, 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:54.520 and I think everybody has a past, and as we've seen, 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:57.240 like most of these men are a little bit older, 0:07:57.240 --> 0:07:59.640 they're more mature. I'm sure that they've had a few, 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:03.480 if not more, relationships under their belt. And I don't 0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:06.240 agree with the phrase or the same wants a cheater 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:09.240 always a cheater, because I think for any sort of 0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:11.400 growth in life, you have to learn from your mistakes 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:14.240 and own up to your actions and take that to 0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:16.200 heart if you truly want to change as a person. 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:19.760 And so I think, you know, everyone has a past, 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:23.119 and everyone has made certain mistakes in life. And so 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:27.200 I think if somebody were to admit that, like say 0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:29.440 somebody were to come to me in a new relationship 0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:31.240 and say, you know, I did cheat in the past, 0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:35.719 It's like, Okay, well why what happened? And like if 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:39.120 you vowed to be loyal to me and committed to me. 0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:42.120 That's all that matters, you know, Like, I wasn't perfect 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:43.960 in relationships in the past, and I've made a lot 0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:46.600 of mistakes and I learned from them hopefully, and I 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:49.160 know what I should and shouldn't be doing in a 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:54.000 relationship and portray that what I want to a partner. Yeah, 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:56.240 that makes sense. No, it makes perfect sense, and I 0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:58.959 completely agree with you. I don't believe the phrase wants 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:02.320 a cheater, always a cheater. I've cheated before and past relationships, 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:05.480 and you know, not excusing my behavior by any means 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:09.240 because it was wrong, But I can tell you exactly 0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:13.920 why I cheated in that moment, And I think it's 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:15.880 one thing to say once a cheater, always a cheater. 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:19.120 If you're in that current relationship and somebody cheats on you, 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:22.560 that's different because you know you might not be able 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:24.640 to get past that and move on in your relationship. 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:27.440 But if prior to you, before they even met you, 0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:31.720 they cheated for whatever reason, I think it's unfair to 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:34.360 not give them the benefit of the doubt that they 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:37.360 were able to learn and grow from that mistake they made. 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:39.960 You know, I don't think it's it's fair to judge 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:43.560 certain mistakes and put one mistake as not as bad 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:47.679 as the other. Maybe that's coming from a biblical sense 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:50.960 one sin, no sin is greater than the other. But 0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:54.000 I just I think that that's a very general statement. 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:55.600 I think you have to be careful when you make 0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:58.640 that statement because you don't allow room for people to grow. 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:03.920 And you also don't know what circumstance you may find 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:07.720 yourself in, whether it's emotional cheating or physical cheating, or 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:10.920 even just you know, with thoughts. So I thought that 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:13.120 was interesting and I was curious to see, like how 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:17.079 you felt about it, because people really have strong opinions 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:20.160 about this. Oh yeah, and plain to your point, because 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:21.760 I'm sure we're going to get a lot of people 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:24.360 DM and us being like, how could you say that, 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:27.959 How could you condone cheating? And to your point, if 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:30.760 it's in a past relationship with a past partner, that's 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:33.679 that's on them, and that's when somebody completely different. If 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:37.400 it's in your current relationship, that's a whole different story 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:39.559 and you can take and do what you want with that. 0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:42.480 But if it's if it's in the past and they 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:46.280 genuinely you know, can admit that and own up to 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:48.120 it and say like this is why or this is 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:50.480 what transpired to get me there, and I learned from it, 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:52.920 and you know, however I felt in that moment and 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:57.080 after that it, Yeah, it takes growth. And so I 0:10:57.160 --> 0:11:00.640 think Rtatia was coming from which as we saw her explain, 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:04.320 like she that was a part of her past relationship 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:07.520 and in her marriage, and so I get that wound 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:10.319 is probably still pretty fresh. I don't know exactly when 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:12.720 her marriage ended, if she ever said it on the show, 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:15.520 but I'm sure it's fresh. And so it's like I 0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:19.360 understand where that guard is coming from and where she's 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:22.320 like very closed off to it. But also like I 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:24.800 would hope that she and everyone watching these men, and 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:26.599 like Zach in particular, because I'm sure he's going to 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:28.280 get a lot of mean dams for those five minutes 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:32.839 before he explains the story. It's like he's not her 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:35.880 ex and all of these men are completely different people 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:37.520 than who she dated in the past, and so she 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:39.120 has to give them the benefit of the doubt that 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:42.679 they have learned and grown and changed and are like 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:45.880 fully committed to making the relationship with her work. Yeah, 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:49.320 very very well said. And I think that, you know, 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:51.520 the biggest thing for me was Zach is he all 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:54.440 did without hesitation, so he knows, you know, he can 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:56.800 admit he cheated, He can admit his mistake, and he 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:00.640 knew right away it was wrong. Yeah, yeah, you know 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:03.439 immediately it was wrong. I ain't to try type of 0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:07.920 cheating I did, but I definitely learned from my mistakes 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:09.760 in the past. I don't want anybody to think that 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:12.439 happened when Brian. Let me just get that straight before 0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:15.920 someone tries to imply that, um, that did not happen 0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:20.120 with him. I yeah, I I'm glad we talked that 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:21.800 one out because I just think that that's something that 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:25.000 people go back and forth on, um before we move 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:28.920 on and we get to Noah. I think probably the 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:35.000 biggest question hanging over this entire episode is how the 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:42.680 hell is Blake am still here? What? Yes? Honestly, I like, 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:47.680 has he even had a conversation with Pastasia? You don't know, 0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:51.840 we don't know, only see him either by himself or 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:58.640 with all of the dudes stewing over everything. And I'm like, oh, Blake, honey, 0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:03.559 like like you couldn't keep Spencer your first impression bros 0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:07.760 over Blake, Am, you couldn't keep Damar who's a personal favorite, 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:10.679 ed who at least has a sense of humor. I mean, 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:14.439 what is Blake? Who is Blake? I mean I just yeah, 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:18.880 Blake's just making making penises out of clay, says out 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:24.760 of clay, and very uncomfortable orgasms into it. Health Yeah, 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:27.320 oh yeah, but he is flexible. I will give him that, 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:30.240 So Rachel, before we do bring Noah on, though, we 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:33.520 do have one other major thing that we did see, 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:35.720 and that is with Riley and one of one of 0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:41.600 our personal favorites, and we actually want to have him 0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:44.040 on next week to get into this and have him 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:47.120 here to answer all of the questions because it was 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:48.679 a big moment for him and we saw a lot 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:51.360 more emotion come out of him. And so rather than 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:54.160 recapping and go through just what we saw in thirty 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:56.000 seconds with him last night, we're going to bring him 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:58.040 on next week. So everyone please make sure you tune 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:00.760 in to give Riley the floor and to play himself 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:04.000 in much more detail. Yeah, the time that it desserts, Yes, 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:08.800 I'm looking forward to talking to Riley. So now the 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:11.840 moment you've been rereading, I know you don't want to 0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:14.280 do this. You have been such a trooper up until 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:17.160 this point. I know that you probably have a bone 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:20.640 or two or fourteen to pick with with Noah, but 0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:23.040 we we have to have him on and have we 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:29.040 have cand story. Pour up your glass of wine, make 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:33.360 sure that baby's full, and without further ado, happy Hour listeners, 0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:40.320 we bring you. As Bennett would say, young Noah. No 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:44.200 Noah loves to bats for Happy Hour. Appreciate it. Love 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:48.520 to be here. Thank you. Oh we are ready. Now 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:54.160 I'm going to pressace this entire conversation with Noah. I'm 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:58.960 team Bennett. Okay, so I want you to know what 0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:01.520 kind of energy do you know where I'm coming from? 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:04.520 What before we get into this. It's only fair, Okay. 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:07.320 I had a feeling you were wearing some loafers right now. 0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:10.520 I could feel it from across the country. I'm nineteen, Bennett. 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:13.600 I am, she's in mourning because you sent them home 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:17.840 from the South. I am, yeah, yeah, I'm in morning. 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:20.720 I got I got my sunglasses here. I've got a 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:24.400 eulogy prepared for this podcast as well. You know you 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:28.480 sent my boy home. We're gonna since we're gonna preface it. 0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:31.320 I want to show you that I wearing these lovely 0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:35.160 socks that your boy got me from the guest. I 0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:39.280 haven't done stretches, so I just did ruin every muscle 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:41.760 I had. But yeah, I'm wearing them. So we got 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:43.840 the same energy going on. I'm glad that we can 0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:47.400 have a piece of Bennett in this podcast. Thank you, Noah, 0:15:47.480 --> 0:15:51.480 You've already changed my mood. One point for Noah, speaking 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:58.200 of speaking of pieces of things, where's the mustache? Um? So, 0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:00.520 I'm gonna be honest, I didn't realize so many people 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:04.080 disliked it. I don't know why. I truly like you 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:08.000 got you got more hate ustache and I randomly do 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:11.120 a mustache and randomly don't. Um. So, by the time 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:15.000 you know the show was over, everyone was doing mustaches 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:16.560 and I was like, all right now, it's not really 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:18.800 fun and cool because everybody's doing it, and I just 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:22.360 I just so must have to wear a mask at 0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:25.560 the hospital, so it you can only have a mustache 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:29.720 for the masks are awful. So when you knew you 0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:32.920 were in quarantine Alaquinta about to meet the about shout, 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:36.520 you were like, this mustache right now is a great idea. 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:40.440 I said, listen, this is how I came in. This 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:44.120 is how I'm gonna go out. Either she's gonna hate 0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:46.000 it or she's gonna love it, because there's no in 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:49.200 between with the mustache. Yeah, nobody is like, oh, the 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:51.760 mustache is all right. People either want to burn the 0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:55.000 house down or they want to like gobble the mustache up. 0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:57.480 It's in between, yeah, I mean, there's no one between. 0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:00.360 It's got to be attached to something. It's got to 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:03.160 have like a partner in crime. You can't go solo 0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:06.560 with the mustache like at all, Like, at least give 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:10.520 it a soul patch. You gotta get I thought, I 0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:15.120 reminded myself, what's that got, Howie man del Yeah, yeah, 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:17.200 I hated that about myself, so I got rid of 0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:22.159 it quick. Yeah's and the mustache, which we appreciate it. So, no, 0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:27.119 how does somebody like you get on this show? So 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:30.280 it's funny. I don't know what that means somebody like me, 0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:33.359 but it's funny that you asked that, because back in 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:35.680 the day, people would always joke like, oh, you're gonna 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:38.080 end up on the Bachelor Bacherette. It just makes sense. 0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:40.800 I didn't even know what that meant, yeah, I don't 0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:42.440 know what that means. I don't know. I never did. 0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:45.840 But then one day I'm doing it because I'm a 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:49.080 travel nurse, so it's doing a contract in California. My 0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:51.679 little sister calls me and it's like, hey, I'm at 0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:54.480 a bacherette party and me and my friends all want 0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:57.080 to nominate you for the bacherette. And I was kind 0:17:57.119 --> 0:18:00.639 of like, all right, sure, yeah, whatever sounds good. So 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:03.639 I sent them some Venmo for some margaritas. I was like, 0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:06.080 have fun. You know. I didn't think anything would become 0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:08.160 of it. I was in the middle of a COVID 0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:12.000 contract actually, when it was just getting started, so they 0:18:12.040 --> 0:18:14.840 weren't calling it COVID officially, but it's just getting started. 0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:19.440 Then you know, skip a couple of weeks and they say, hey, 0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:23.800 we you know, your profile came across our desk. We 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:29.240 want to at least interview you. So, oh, go ahead. Yeah, 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:32.800 I finished. So I was like, is this being real? 0:18:32.960 --> 0:18:34.600 You know, I didn't think it was real. Honestly, I 0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:37.239 was like, I'm getting punk somehow. I don't know how 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:39.720 this is happening, but I'm getting played right now. So 0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:41.440 I didn't even think it was real really, But I 0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:43.560 was like, okay, yeah, whoever you are, I'll show up 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:46.040 after a shift. So I like stop at the mall 0:18:46.160 --> 0:18:48.440 after shift at eight in the morning, show up with 0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:52.480 some clothes. I'm like on my twentieth cup of coffee, 0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:56.359 so I'm literally sweating. I'm like a mess. And I 0:18:56.440 --> 0:18:58.200 interviewed him for a couple of hours and they're like, 0:18:58.280 --> 0:18:59.639 you know, if you're serious about this and you're in 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:02.720 a play to life that you think you'll you know, 0:19:02.800 --> 0:19:05.800 you'll think this process will work. We love to have you. 0:19:06.280 --> 0:19:10.800 And this was after I've been a travelers for two years, 0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:14.960 so I've been I'd typically work a contract and then 0:19:15.040 --> 0:19:16.600 leave the country, so I've been you know, on my 0:19:16.680 --> 0:19:18.520 own for the last two years, traveling around having to 0:19:18.560 --> 0:19:20.960 blast living it up. And I was kind of like, 0:19:21.080 --> 0:19:23.080 you know, I think I am ready, like as far 0:19:23.320 --> 0:19:25.680 I feel like accomplishing everything I've done to my in 0:19:25.800 --> 0:19:28.639 my life to this point by myself. This is a 0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:32.600 crazy way to like give love a chance, but I've 0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:35.720 done probably crazier things and I'm gonna at least commit 0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:37.879 fully to it. So then you know, I just decided, 0:19:37.880 --> 0:19:39.640 all right, I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna make sure 0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:42.440 my life is, this will work with how my life is, 0:19:42.480 --> 0:19:44.480 and I can continue after. So it's not like I 0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:46.119 did it and then it didn't work out. Like if 0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:48.000 it works out, I want to be able to have 0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:52.960 our lives smash. So yeah that I just wanted to 0:19:53.040 --> 0:19:56.879 say thank you, you know, for what you do. I 0:19:57.000 --> 0:19:58.639 want to recognize the fact that you are on the 0:19:58.720 --> 0:20:02.200 front lines. You're in a SENTI essential worker. You know 0:20:02.320 --> 0:20:05.320 you've been out here, like you mentioned COVID. I'm not 0:20:05.400 --> 0:20:07.680 sure you know. I know you're on the front lines. 0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:10.240 I don't know what how involved you were with COVID 0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:12.320 or not, but the fact that you you have to 0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:15.760 be out there and you're, you know, protecting us and 0:20:15.840 --> 0:20:18.560 you're taking care of sick people. I just want to 0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:21.840 say thank you for what you do. Appreciate it, And honestly, 0:20:21.840 --> 0:20:23.400 I don't like to talk about it because I feel 0:20:23.440 --> 0:20:25.240 like that defeats the purpose of why I do it. 0:20:25.760 --> 0:20:27.520 You know, I work in the COVID, I see you, 0:20:27.760 --> 0:20:31.560 but uh, yeah, I appreciate it. It's been crazy and 0:20:31.640 --> 0:20:35.680 it hasn't stopped. That's very humbling of you, though. I 0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:37.200 just want to say that before we get into the 0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:46.880 other part of it. Serious, thank you. Listen, listen, she's 0:20:46.920 --> 0:20:50.400 pulling a Bennett tactic and butter me up getting all sweet. 0:20:50.680 --> 0:20:53.520 She's probably got a gift, but it's kind of just 0:20:53.680 --> 0:20:56.640 destroying me. Later, I'm waiting for the mail. I don't 0:20:56.720 --> 0:20:58.400 but it would be remiss of us on the show 0:20:58.480 --> 0:21:01.000 to not recognize what you do and thank you for 0:21:01.200 --> 0:21:04.119 your service. Truly, You're well, It's obviously an honor. I 0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:07.919 appreciate it. So, Noah, you mentioned like all of your 0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:10.040 friends were saying you should sign up for the show, 0:21:10.040 --> 0:21:12.440 you should be part of this. We did, I have 0:21:12.520 --> 0:21:14.840 to admit this. We did hear from my belief. Easy 0:21:14.880 --> 0:21:18.400 a couple of weeks ago when we asked, like, who 0:21:18.560 --> 0:21:20.639 was the man that loved the camera the most, he 0:21:20.840 --> 0:21:24.639 happened to mention you. So, now that you obviously are 0:21:24.720 --> 0:21:27.399 in it and watching this all back, and I'm assuming 0:21:27.440 --> 0:21:29.879 your friends and family are watching it, do you think like, 0:21:30.960 --> 0:21:32.560 do you think that you are living up to their 0:21:32.640 --> 0:21:35.160 expectation of what they thought you would be like on TV? 0:21:35.280 --> 0:21:39.560 And how is it personally watching yourself back? First, it's 0:21:39.600 --> 0:21:41.680 funny that Easy said that, because if you were to 0:21:41.680 --> 0:21:44.360 ask me, I would say Easy, And that's probably why 0:21:44.400 --> 0:21:46.480 Easy and I both like we were friends, but we 0:21:46.600 --> 0:21:50.239 weren't because it's two big spotlights, you know. So it's 0:21:50.240 --> 0:21:52.679 funny that you say that. As far as my family 0:21:52.760 --> 0:21:56.560 and friends, I still don't think my parents have adjusted 0:21:56.640 --> 0:22:00.840 the fact that I'm making out on TV because I 0:22:00.960 --> 0:22:03.880 keep my life very private. I don't talk about any 0:22:03.920 --> 0:22:06.560 of that really, even with like my twin and some 0:22:06.640 --> 0:22:08.479 of my best friends. I will, but I'm very private. 0:22:09.680 --> 0:22:12.320 And I told them, like, hey, listen. When when I 0:22:12.400 --> 0:22:14.400 told my parents, I said, hey, listen, I'm either I'm 0:22:14.440 --> 0:22:16.880 showing up and I'm either going to be in love 0:22:16.960 --> 0:22:19.760
