00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:20,240
Speaker 1: incredibly excited because this is like my first time hosting

7
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,799
Speaker 1: a podcast about the actual show. That's when I came on.

8
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 1: We weren't you know, we weren't in season yet, So

9
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: I'm really excited. We're gonna be talking to Gabby's first

10
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: Impression Rose winner Mario, so I feel like we have

11
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: a lot of questions to ask him. Oh yeah, yeah,

12
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm so excited. It feels like it's been

13
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: a while. I mean, we were off from a season

14
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: for fourteen weeks, and I have to say that's the

15
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 1: longest we've gone in bouch Our Happy our history over

16
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: the past several years that we haven't actually been recapping

17
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: a season. And so I'm so excited to be here

18
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: with you to get going. And I don't know about you,

19
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: but Night one is always one of my favorite. There's

20
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: so much excitement around it. There's obviously you're meeting so

21
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 1: many faces and getting to know these men and these

22
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 1: leads too. But I'm excited to pick Mario's brain because

23
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: this is like the first inside scoop from any of

24
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: the men that will have from this season. So it'll

25
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: be a good episode, it really will. And like the

26
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: first night is so, it really is so magical. And

27
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: I will say that I was really surprised when I

28
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 1: was even get in Gabby and Rachel's position, because you know,

29
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: you watch the show at home and you think about, Okay,

30
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: what would that actually feel like you kind of do

31
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 1: feel it through the screen, and that's exactly like what

32
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: I was feeling up there. So it's really cool to see,

33
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: like Gabby and Rachel they get to experience this first

34
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: night as Bachelor, as with all these guys approaching and

35
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: like how they enter and their nerves and everything. I

36
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: don't even remember. I think I blacked out when I

37
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,559
Speaker 1: when I walked out of the limo. Do you remember

38
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: what she did or said? I? Well, yes, because it

39
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: became my tagline for now years to come. But um,

40
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: but yeah, that first night, I definitely blocked out. I

41
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: did not expect to say half the shit that came

42
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: out of my mouth, but it happened, but I will

43
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: say that I want to ask you this because you know,

44
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: we've talked at length now about our feelings on having

45
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: two baud Shrettes, and you know, it's kind of hit

46
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: or miss. For me. It's like I wanted to see

47
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: how it played out to get a vibe, and I

48
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: actually love it. And I was kind of nervous at first,

49
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:28,839
Speaker 1: and I didn't love the idea of having two baud

50
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: Shrets because I was like, it's kind of stealing the

51
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: thunder where there is so much that goes into being

52
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: a lead and it's such a special moment for these women,

53
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: and at first to do together, I was like, Oh,

54
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: it kind of takes away a little bit. But I'm

55
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: changing my two now because after seeing Gabby and Rachel together,

56
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,959
Speaker 1: I kind of wish I would have had somebody else

57
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: by my side, because there's nothing like having a good

58
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: girlfriend that you can go to gossip with, to talk

59
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: shit with, to like just bounce off each other's energies.

60
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 1: And we saw that throughout this entire first episode night one.

61
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: And I love them together. I do too, honestly, because

62
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: they're they're so similar and they play off each other

63
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: so well and you can tell that they're comfortable with

64
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: each other, but then their personalities are incredibly different. Like

65
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 1: Rachel's super sweet, you know, su like I would say,

66
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: not even more on the quiet side. But then you

67
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: have Gabby who's like incredibly witty and just blunt and says,

68
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: you know, what everybody wants to say or what everybody's thinking.

69
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: So that's it is pretty cool. Um, yeah, throw the

70
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: Minnesota girls up there, let's go run it back. But

71
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: Becca's engaged, so I can't do that. We'll just have

72
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: but no, yeah, I totally understand what you mean with that.

73
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: And I think also it's going to be really interesting

74
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: to kind of talk about how the guys handle it

75
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: because it is a bit of an uncomfortable situation because

76
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: you're approaching two women, right, and so I think it's

77
00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: easier to I don't even know the correct words, be respectful, right, Like,

78
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: it's an uncomfortable situation, and so I think the guys

79
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: who have the emotional intelligence are going to stand out

80
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: because they're gonna be able to handle this situation with

81
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: more ease if that makes it right, right? And I

82
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: kind of like it. I mean, I don't remember his name,

83
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,559
Speaker 1: but the first guy that came out of the limo

84
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 1: fresh at the gates. He like they started on such

85
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: and I don't want to paint this in a negative way,

86
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: but it started off on kind of such an awkward

87
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: foot where he was like do we hug? Like who

88
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: do I go to first? You know, like how do

89
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: I do this? Which I feel like it's probably so

90
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 1: accurate to what everyone was feeling that night. It's like

91
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: and I kind of like that for the most part,

92
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: you know, there were some guys that I can't say

93
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 1: this about, but for the most part, it seems like

94
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: most men were very open to meeting both women. Like

95
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: they didn't have their sight set on just one. They

96
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: weren't all in at that point for just one person,

97
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: because like, realistically, you don't know if you're going to

98
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: hit it off with somebody you've never met, and so

99
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 1: you know you're going into this already very uncomfortable, very

100
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: unique situation. And so I like that both men were

101
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: excited to have two women and to get to know

102
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: them both. And I gotta say, though, these women have

103
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 1: a lot of dudes, they have their work cut out

104
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: for them. Thirty two, right, thirty two, And I think

105
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: Jesse said this at the beginning, but it's the most.

106
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 1: I mean, Michelle, I feel like you had a lot

107
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: of dudes too. You had, like I have, what thirty?

108
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: I had thirty. I don't know if I had more

109
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: than thirty, I'd have to, like, honestly, truly go back

110
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: and count. But I do remember that first night having

111
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: this moment of how is it possible that another limo

112
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: is pulling up? Like I felt like I was standing

113
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: out there like there's more, there's more, there's more. But

114
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: but yeah, I'm excited they have they have a lot

115
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: of weeding out to do. Oh yeah, definitely, but they

116
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: do seem decisive. I wanna And I think it helps

117
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: too that again, they have each other so they can

118
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: kind of be like, oh, that guy's my type. I'm

119
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: into that, Like I had this first kiss with this

120
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: guy and them by being him and it's it literally

121
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 1: is like a friend's slumber party where you're talking about

122
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: the boys. Did anyone really really stand out to you

123
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: out of the limo or just throughout the first night? Honestly? Okay,

124
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: So I'm trying to remember all of their names because

125
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:25,239
Speaker 1: there's so many, But I think you like Avan. He's

126
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: obviously a good looking dude, right, But it's like I

127
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: thought he was going to walk out of the limo

128
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 1: significantly more like cocky than he did, and so I

129
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, like he didn't, you know what I mean,

130
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: He didn't come off like overpowering. Um, but I do,

131
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: like I do look at the contestants, but sometimes I

132
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: kind of like try to figure out, Okay, like who's

133
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: going to be the issue here? Right? Right? Well, it's

134
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: front of your trouble. Well, I'm so glad you just

135
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: said that, because I want to talk about two guys,

136
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: the first the first two and we don't even need

137
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 1: to get into it. But I feel like when you

138
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: say the word issue, I feel like, after seeing how

139
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: Eric was with both women night one, I feel like

140
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a quote unquote issue at some point

141
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: this season. Like remind me, do you remember what his

142
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: entrance was. I don't remember his entrance, but he was

143
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: the one who after both girls gave out their first

144
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: impression roles, he got kind of not heated, but he

145
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: got upset and was basically like I thought one of

146
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: them was going to give it to me, but he

147
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: just rubbed me the wrong way. Because it seems like

148
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: he got off on a great start with both women

149
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: he kissed. I don't even know if he kissed Rachel actually,

150
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: but anyways, like he talks to Gabby, they were talking

151
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: about her extensions. He oh, yeah, okay, he just kissed Gabby.

152
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: But then he was showing Rachel on his hand where

153
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: he was living in New York, and like he just

154
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: thought that he had it in the bag with I

155
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: think both of these women. And he got a little

156
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: bit upset that he didn't get a first impression Roles,

157
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: which I'm like, dude, it's night one, there's a thousand

158
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: of you. Calm down. But I feel like that might

159
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: be foreshadowing for his name. Eric h Eric, have you

160
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: ever seen that done before? Um? I don't know. I

161
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: don't think so, but you know, kudos to you for

162
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: being different, stand out. But Michelle got about one more guy,

163
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: and that is it's actually somebody that I have met before.

164
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: Um so Ethan from Seattle is a guy that we

165
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: actually had on as our bachelor on Bachelor Live on

166
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: Stage a couple of years ago. He's from Seattle. He

167
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: was our bachelor at the Seattle Show years ago. And

168
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: when I saw him come out of the limo. I

169
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: was like, you've got to be shitting me. Anyways, Um,

170
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: before we bring Mario on, what were your thoughts. This

171
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: is the first time, I think ever in Bachelor Nation

172
00:08:56,040 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: history that a night one rose ceremony was canceled. What

173
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: did you think about that? Honestly? I mean, like, if

174
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: you were like a loyal Bachelor watcher, you're going to

175
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: know that through the season there's going to be at

176
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: least like one or two Rose ceremonies canceled. I don't

177
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: think anyone expected it on the first night, but I

178
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:19,079
Speaker 1: actually really respect that just because you do not get

179
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: to talk to everybody, and that's like when you were

180
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: going through this yourself, So imagine having two bachelorettes and

181
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: like trying to talk to both of them, just like

182
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: the amount of time and everything and that takes place.

183
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: So I totally understand not wanting to like really send

184
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: the large portion of the men at home, right, And

185
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: so yeah, I applaud them on that. Yeah, I seen

186
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: the three men outside. What did you think about that? Honestly,

187
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,959
Speaker 1: I actually kind of appreciated that. I thought it was

188
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: a kinder way to send them home where they didn't

189
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: have to stand in front of the remaining twenty nine men.

190
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure to them they weren't expecting and

191
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 1: it probably was a bummer to them, but realistically, like

192
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: it was faster, it was already light outside, so they

193
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:11,719
Speaker 1: were probably freaking exhausted. Yeah, So I didn't mind the

194
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: fact that they removed those men and took them away

195
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: and had a separate conversation. I felt like they actually

196
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: gave them enough time to explain why they were making

197
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: that decision the rose ceremony being canceled. Listen, I'm all

198
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: about canceling rose ceremonies, but I will say, like going

199
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: into this experience the night one like that first rose

200
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: ceremony is pretty special, and so I feel like a

201
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: part of that was kind of taken away from the men,

202
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: Like it is, it's kind of like a right of passage,

203
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: and so I kind of wish the first one wasn't

204
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: canceled all the other ones, like go ahead, do it,

205
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: so that they handed out roses still and then just

206
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: didn't hand those roses to those three men that they

207
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,839
Speaker 1: walked outside, you know, I kind of I would want

208
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 1: to combo. I like how they removed the three men

209
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: first and said their goodbyes, and then I wish they

210
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 1: kind of still went in and they're like, we get

211
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: to talk to a lot of you. We still want

212
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 1: to keep you around and bring you into next week,

213
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 1: but like, let's still do this quickly, just as like,

214
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: like I said that rite of passage to make those

215
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 1: men feel special. M I wish it would have been

216
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 1: a combo of that. But again, like it was already

217
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: light outside. Everyone's exhausted by that point, so I can't

218
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: fold anyone. And also at the same time, I was like,

219
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: I have no input because I actually was not a

220
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: part of that first night because I was sent in late. Yeah,

221
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: like I wasn't even in the group picture, like you know,

222
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: like the typical like, oh you you have a picture

223
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: that you like. Everyone looks like shit because they've been

224
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,959
Speaker 1: up all night, they're tired, they're stress like they want

225
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: to go to bed, like it's been overwhelming. Yeah, I

226
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,839
Speaker 1: wasn't in that. I guess I got my own season,

227
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 1: so I eventually had my own picture. But yeah, you

228
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: got you you had one better. There's no good one better,

229
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: I know. I know. Well, if it makes you feel better,

230
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: I think the one that they picked for ari season.

231
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: Becca em and I were standing in the background laughing

232
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: the entire time, and like my facial expression in that

233
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: photo that they chose, I look like such a brat.

234
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: I'm just like mean muggin. So you know that up

235
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: I would try, I would. They're all so bad, don't

236
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: look up anything. But I'm so excited for the rest

237
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: of the season, not unfold, to actually get to know

238
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: these guys, because again, there's so many we I feel

239
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: like we didn't even get to see half of them,

240
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: but we did get to see the one guy who

241
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: did get Gabby's first impression. He obviously stood out to her,

242
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: and so we're going to have him on right now.

243
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 1: So everyone, please welcome Mario to Bachelor Happy Hour. Welcome

244
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: to Bachelor Happy Hour. Mario. We're so excited to have you.

245
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: Were so excited that this is like your first podcast,

246
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: this is my first podcast. Actually we'll kick off the

247
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: premiere of the show. So yeah, well so Mario, this is,

248
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: like Michelle said, the not only your first podcast, but

249
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 1: the first podcast that we have been able to recap

250
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: a season now, because when Michelle started, we didn't have

251
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: a season, and so I feel like we're kind of

252
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 1: all doing this together and I'm so excited. I want

253
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 1: to know from you what originally made you join the show?

254
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,599
Speaker 1: Did you get recruited, did you sign up? Or you

255
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: a fan of the show. How did that all happen? Yeah.

256
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: So I'm a personal trainer here in the Chicagoland area

257
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 1: and I was wrapping up my day. I think I

258
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: had like four or five clients that day. I was

259
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: on my last client. I go to Instagram and I

260
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: have like a request DM and so as a business owner,

261
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: I checked those just because you know, oftentimes they'll get

262
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: like clients reaching out, you know, we're wanting to train

263
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: with you, et cetera. So it was a DM from

264
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: you know, one of the producers from the show, and

265
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 1: you know, I read it. He was like, hey, I

266
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: think you could be good for the show. So automatically

267
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, this guy's going to ask me

268
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: for like my social Security number. It's a span like

269
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: no ways like the bachelort reaching out to me. So

270
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 1: I went back and forth with him in him he

271
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: gave me his number and I called him and it

272
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 1: was actually actually after we go off the phone, I

273
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: still was like, I don't know about this, but I

274
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 1: did some research and that's how that he was a

275
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: producer for the show, So it was real and that's

276
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: kind of how my journey started. I was I'm in

277
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: from a place prior to being reasted out where I

278
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: was in mu They rested out at the beginning of January. So, um,

279
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: it was in twenty twenty one where I was like

280
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: kind of in a situation ship and so that had

281
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: just ended, and um, it was like the timing was

282
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: perfect and I was ready for something like new. And

283
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: so I'm very organic in a sense of like I'm

284
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: not on any dating apps, never been on a dating app.

285
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: I'm very like, I want to meet my person in

286
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: real time, and so doesn't get any more organic than

287
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: someone reaching out to you to be on a dating show.

288
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: A little a little out of the box for me,

289
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: but at the same time, it was it was something

290
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: that was different and that I was willing to jump into.

291
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: So how do you watch the show before, like you

292
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: knew what the show was, a fan of it, or um,

293
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: you know prior I had caught glimpses of Matt Jane season.

294
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: I know that was a big season with him being

295
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: the first black bachelor, and so I caught glimpses of

296
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: that season, and I just remember like watching like a

297
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: sporting event and then turned back to that to kind

298
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: of see what was going on. But I never like

299
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: followed a season all the way through. But I can

300
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: like pull it. I think I saw like onst the

301
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: Katie season at one point, so I can pull like

302
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: little tibits and be like all right, So was there

303
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: ever a point where you're like, yeah, I totally could

304
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: do that or it never crossed your mind before. The

305
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: funny is so prior to obviously all of this happening,

306
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: I worked at a daycare and I was the only

307
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: male staff member. I worked with forty women. I was

308
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: noticed mister Mario. So I know they're all plumped to um,

309
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: you know, watching experience the show. But you know, they

310
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: would always come in on Tuesday and they would always

311
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: like break down the show and they would be like, man,

312
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: and then they would always be like, Mario, you should

313
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: apply to be on that show. And I would I

314
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: always be like yeah, for sure and kind of just

315
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: like fuck away. So it's just funny how things kind

316
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: of come full circle a little bit. But um, what

317
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: I have pursued it on my own, probably not, but

318
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: you know, it took a producer reaching out and then

319
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: me going through the process and getting chosen and here

320
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: we are, right, So things kind of happened for a reason.

321
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: They play out a certain way. Well, it seems like

322
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: it was kind of meant to be, just timing wise

323
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: and having somebody give you that little nudge that maybe

324
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: you needed. I want to ask you this and we'll

325
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: get into everything that you were kind of experienced in

326
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: that night one. But I mean, you're here because you

327
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: not only got Gabby's first impression rose, but you were

328
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: only one of two guys to get a rose that

329
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: night because they obviously canceled the rose ceremony. So what

330
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: did that feel like for you? Did you kind of

331
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: expect that you would get it from Gabby? I mean,

332
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: obviously we saw the kiss, but what was going through

333
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: your mind in that moment when she grabbed that rose

334
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: and pulled you aside? So you know when I got

335
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: up the limit when I did my first impression or

336
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: Rachel then Gabby? Okay all that, you know, I actually

337
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: felt like I had made a connection with Rachel initially

338
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: because she kind of grabbed my hands and you know,

339
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: she from Chicago, but she was like clubs or socks,

340
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: and I was like, cubs, got to play it safe.

341
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: And so I walked into mansion and then I saw

342
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: Gabby out front, and at this point I'm just looking

343
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: to kind of get to know the both of them

344
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: because I don't don't really know them. Went to the front,

345
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: had a great conversation with Gabby. We connected, and that

346
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: eventually led to the kiss into the first Impression roles

347
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 1: and so, you know, it was one of those things

348
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: where I felt to connection with her initially, and so

349
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: you know that first night, you're looking to kind of

350
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: talk to who you can and I did not expect

351
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: that at all. You know, I knew that I was.

352
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't know if she had kissed other guys.

353
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 1: So I was kind of just in a place where

354
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 1: I was like, man, we really connected, but there's a

355
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 1: bunch of other men here, so I'm not sure if

356
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: I really stood out. But then you know, later that night,

357
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: when Jesse came and put the first Impression roses on

358
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 1: the table, she pulled me to the side and that

359
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,719
Speaker 1: made me feel really good. You know, there it is.

360
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 1: It might be surprising, Mario, but there definitely will be

361
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: nights ahead where you will kiss Gabby or Rachel the

362
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 1: same time they're kissing other cause it's a weird situation.

363
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: But okay, So going back to how you came out

364
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: of the limo, though, one thing that I noticed is

365
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: that you looked instantly comfortable, like the moment you stepped

366
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,479
Speaker 1: out of the limo and you were like doing your

367
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 1: little dance twirl whatever up there. Do you remember that,

368
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 1: Like were you obviously like were you nervous? Were you

369
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: panicking before you got out of the limo because you

370
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 1: have this perception of how it's gonna go, especially like

371
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: the day's leading up to it, and then that moment

372
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 1: before you step out of the limo, so many people

373
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: black out and they're like, I don't even know what

374
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: came out of my mouth. Yeah, it was. It was

375
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 1: definitely a surreal moment, just because a week prior, you know,

376
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: they were announced as the two leads, right, and so

377
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: it was this moment where like I pulled up, I

378
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: had the limo crew that I was with, you know,

379
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 1: a few guys, and then I was looking through the

380
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: tending windows. They can't see us, we can see them,

381
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: and I just had this moment where I was like, man,

382
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: this is literally like I am here right now, Like

383
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: this is actually why I just saw them sitting on

384
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: the couch with Jesse, like a week or the renounds.

385
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: Now I'm here. I found out the same time as

386
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 1: the rest of America. And so when I got out,

387
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: I think in the limo, I was like heart, heart

388
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: was beating. I was like, this is crazy, this is

389
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 1: my first impression, Like I cannot drop the ball. I

390
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: want to make it past tonight. You know. I had

391
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: a lot of different thoughts, but when I got out

392
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: the limo, I had this like piece come over me,

393
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: and I was like, just be yourself. And I know

394
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: that sounds like cliche and kind of just like all right,

395
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 1: but like really I was just like be like show

396
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: your personality, be funny, be goofy, try to be like charismatic,

397
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: and then bring it back in. So I did my dance,

398
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 1: but then I just didn't want to be like there

399
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: for entertainment. I wanted to like bring it back in

400
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: and just be like, hey, my name is Mariam thirty

401
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 1: one in the Chicago Land area. But if you guys

402
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: look beautiful, I'm excited to be here. Look forward to

403
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: connecting the two more inside. Keep it moving right. So

404
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: I wanted there to be like a fun element but

405
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: then not really serious but just hey, this is who

406
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 1: I am, and so ended up working out. Well, yeah,

407
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: I feel like you, I mean, you nailed it. Why

408
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 1: did you say you nailed it? Becca for the most

409
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: Oh well yeah, obviously you got the rows and remember

410
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 1: so you know what I mean. I want to ask

411
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: you this because I feel like Michelle and I have

412
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: talked about this a little bit on the podcast, but

413
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 1: like night one, obviously you truly have no idea really

414
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: what to expect other than the fact that you're going

415
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: to be meeting the bout shirts. Right, So when you

416
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: pull up in that limo, no one watching the TV

417
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: show will ever know this. But when you pull up,

418
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 1: there's a thousand lights all around, There's a thousand people,

419
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: there's so many cameras. It obviously is a huge production

420
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: to make the show. But like that, that moment is

421
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: what actually really took me off guard. Like when we

422
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: pulled up and I stepped out and it wasn't just

423
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: like the person sitting in front of me, it was

424
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: like hundreds of people. That's when it like really hit

425
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: me where I was like holy shit, like I'm not

426
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 1: only just like meeting the person to potentially date, Like

427
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 1: I'm here for a TV show. What was that Like,

428
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: did anything like really stand out to you catch you

429
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: off guard? For Hugh the f Out, Yeah, it was

430
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: actually the limo driver that kind of came out and

431
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 1: he was like, gave us the set instructions. Polly. Actually

432
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: it was Polly that I realized it was, Yeah, Polly's

433
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 1: the best. You will see much more of him, and

434
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: he kind of gave like the layout of the land.

435
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 1: He's like, are you gonna get out? I gonna do this.

436
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 1: There's gonna be lights over here, just do what you

437
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: need to do. And so it definitely was, um, you know,

438
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 1: a moment where I was like, this is happening. But

439
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 1: actually I was still pretty focused because it was two

440
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 1: women in front of me and I knew that this

441
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 1: was like a part of it, and yes, I'm on

442
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: a TV show, but I was so focused on Rachel

443
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,880
Speaker 1: and Gabby and trying to do my best to give

444
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: a good impression that I think I like blacked all

445
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 1: that out right. Like, I knew it was good lighting.

446
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 1: I knew that there was a cameraman right here, but

447
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: I was just thinking, yo, don't embarrass yourself. It's so

448
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: hard to do that though, I will say, like I

449
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 1: feel like the average person. It's one thing to think,

450
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: you're like think and kind of like a brainstorm, but

451
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: visualize how it's gonna go. But when you get out there,

452
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 1: it like the only way this is going to be

453
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 1: successful is if you can block that out in it.

454
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: It's hard, Like it is hard because they're I mean, yes,

455
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 1: you have the lights, right, but you have all these

456
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: people around you, producers, camera, you know, everything, audio, and

457
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,719
Speaker 1: it's like you can't acknowledge them, you can't talk to them, right,

458
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: but everyone's just staring at you. It's like this really

459
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: weird fish bowl concept. Yeah till your point, Michelle, like

460
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: you you can't do that at all. And so that's

461
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: why I was like, all right, just focus, don't don't

462
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: do too much your dance, and just let them know

463
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: they look nice and you'll see them inside. Was there

464
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: ever a point where you're like, okay, like I should

465
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 1: have thought of that, or like I that was really

466
00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: good or that was really cringey? Yeah? Yeah, you know

467
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: there was a lot of creativity our season, like a

468
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 1: lot of it really, and for me seeing some of

469
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: the other ones. I think, I'm like, man, did you

470
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: like not do enough? Right? Because my thing was like

471
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 1: be who you are, show your personality and then bring

472
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 1: it in. There was a lot that happened that first night,

473
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: right you know. We had some guys coming in on

474
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: a horse. We had some guys come in with chicks,

475
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: a whole choir, right Like. There was just a lot

476
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: that took place. And so for me, naturally, yeah, the

477
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: first night, I'm gonna compare myself and be like, yo,

478
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 1: did I should I have done more? Should I? But

479
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: I think initially I like put myself on like the

480
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: lower spectrum based on what I saw. But then throughout

481
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: the night, you know, hearing about some of the different interests,

482
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, everyone kind of pulled something. Not

483
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 1: everyone was like a huge spectacle. I felt a little

484
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 1: more comfortable in that. And then eventually I had my

485
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: time with Gabby, and then I was feeling a little

486
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:01,239
Speaker 1: more confident. And so that first impression is huge, and um,

487
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 1: you know, the road ceremony comes up quick. So I

488
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: was like, if I don't get time tonight, let me

489
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 1: at least try to show showcase as much as I can. Right, So, um, naturally.

490
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 1: I think there was some comparison components there. Well. So

491
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,959
Speaker 1: once you were in finally talking with the guys, spending

492
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: the entire night with them, what were your first impressions

493
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: on some of the guys, Like did you really hit

494
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: it off with some of them? Yeah? You know, I

495
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: am a very sociable person, and so I'm like the

496
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 1: hype man, you know, like if you post a pick

497
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: on ig and we met one time, I'm gonna hype

498
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: you up. Let's say I met you on like a

499
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: trimp and I followed you. I'm gonna yp you up

500
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: in a cover needs Mario in their life, Hey, and

501
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: so mister Mario. And so when I got there, I

502
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 1: was I was just excited to be able to like

503
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: meet the guys that we're going to go through this

504
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: experience with me, and you know, just kind of hearing

505
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: where they were from seeing what guys were wearing. I

506
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: was wearing a base and I noticed that no one

507
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 1: else had on the Bay shoot, right, So I felt

508
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 1: I felt good in that sense, but just hearing what

509
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: city guys are from what they did for their first impression,

510
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: you know, talking about sports, talking about past experiences, how

511
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: we got on the show. It's something that brings brings

512
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: life to me, meeting new people and kind of going

513
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: through a shared experience together. So I was pumped, Um,

514
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: you know, seeing Jacob with no shirt on. I was like,

515
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,719
Speaker 1: you know, hey, I know it's funny because as a trainer,

516
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 1: I really was thinking about doing that. And I'm happy

517
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: I kept feeling my Bay shoes, but that was something

518
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 1: that I was thinking about. Seeing justin with no shoes. Right,

519
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: these are things that stand out and you're like, all right,

520
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: like what's your vibe? This is my vibe? Okay, So

521
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: who walked in that you like vibe with? You're like, yep,

522
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: we're going to be friends. Tyler. Tyler was actually in

523
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: my limo and so we connected in the limo and

524
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 1: then he came in after me and we were just

525
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 1: talking throughout the night. But him and I connected right off.

526
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 1: Rip Nate and I also connected. Who did you not

527
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 1: connect with? Was there one dude where you were like, oh,

528
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: he's rubbing me the wrong way? You know what I

529
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 1: think when you walk into the mansion, because this is

530
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 1: another season you do look for like the guy who

531
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: stand offish but honestly, like truth be told, our cast

532
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: was just great. That first night, there was there was

533
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: no drama. Everyone was super cool with each other. You know,

534
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: guys are just laughing, hanging out, We're at the bar,

535
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 1: we're eating the advertisers were just all trying to spend

536
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 1: time with Rachel and Gabby. We're still trying to figure

537
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: out the setup. So honestly, like there was no one

538
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 1: that rubbed me wrong that that first night, I vibed

539
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: with everyone. I would think everyone would give the same

540
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 1: response as well. Becca, who do you think, like, did

541
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 1: your alarms go off with anybody when you're watching it? Well,

542
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: when I was watching it, the only guy that kind

543
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: of set off alarms right away was I'm blinking on

544
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 1: his name, the guy that kind of got upset when

545
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: he didn't get a rose. Eric. Yeah, Eric, he had

546
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: this like entitlement that I didn't necessarily like. But but

547
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: it's interesting that you say that there's no drama because

548
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 1: I actually didn't think about it. But it truly felt

549
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: like there was no issues really at all night one,

550
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: And I feel like I've never watched a premiere where

551
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: there hasn't only spent something like something some beef between

552
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 1: two guys, like whether it's bigger or small and this

553
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: is the first time that we didn't get that. Yeah,

554
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, you go in with this

555
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: anticipation of like, Okay, hey, Rachel and Gab you're here.

556
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get time with them, but you know, uh,

557
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: this is the first night in the mansion. Some stuff

558
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 1: is going to pop off, for sure. But then throughout

559
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 1: the night, the vibe was just like smoothed, and the

560
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 1: rose ceremony came, we did our toast and like that

561
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 1: was a rat And so I'm in the same boat

562
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 1: as you, Becca, where I'm like, you know, nothing popped off.

563
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: I was I was waiting for something to happen, someone

564
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: to like jump in the pool with no shirt on. Uh,

565
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: somebody to just like get super drunk and just like

566
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 1: confess their love to get right Like none of that happened. Wait, okay,

567
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: can we get into the kiss? Yes, let's go us

568
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 1: get into the good stuff. Areyo? So okay. In a

569
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,120
Speaker 1: lot of her interviews, she was like, these guys aren't

570
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 1: kissing me, Like I thought that there was going to

571
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: be more kissing, more makeouts, like she wanted she really

572
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: wanted that. And so when you finally went for the kiss,

573
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 1: I think she I mean she was excited to begin with,

574
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: but I feel like it was so special because it

575
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: was with you. Obviously it worked out because you got

576
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: that first impression ros what did you think about it?

577
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: So when yeah, I went for it, there's no hesitation

578
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: like you like belined it. I just straightforward. When we were,

579
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: you know, talking on the bench that we were sitting

580
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: down on, um, you know, I was just trying to

581
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: look for a starting point. You know, anytime you talk

582
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: Gabby or you know, Rachel the first night, in my mind,

583
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, I'm gonna pull back from their

584
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: previous experience, don't reach back too far, but just kind

585
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: of like asking questions on you know, how they're feeling

586
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: first night coming off Clayton's season, You're a lead, how

587
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: do I fit in this? And just trying to spark

588
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: a conversation with them, And so we were kind of

589
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 1: having a back and forth and I kind of put

590
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: it like this, There's two moments of silence. Right. There's

591
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: the awkward moment of silence where it's like, hey, do

592
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: we have anything else to talk about? It's kind of awkward,

593
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: But then there's the second one where it's like, so vibeing,

594
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: looking around, eye contact, you go in and then you

595
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 1: give this right. So mine was the second one. Yes,

596
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: and it was it was How was it? It was

597
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: a great moment, It was a great experience. Gabby has

598
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: great lips. I was coming. How do I say this politely?

599
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 1: So yeah, for me, it was a moment where I

600
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: was like, um, I just had to ask myself a

601
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: lot of questions, right, because this is this is night

602
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: one right, and me, I'm like, you know, I'm high energy,

603
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: I got a lot of personality, but I have like

604
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: this privacy to me as well, and so to be

605
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: able to do that the first night, did it feel natural?

606
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: Thousand percent? It did? When I walked away, did I

607
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: did I think about what I did that I have

608
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: to process it? Yes, I think that that was my moment.

609
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: It was a great moment. And um, I'm happy that

610
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: I went in for the kids. I'm happy. What do

611
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 1: you think? What do you think the lady is back

612
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: at the daycare are going to say when they see

613
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: you getting one of the first year the season, They're proud.

614
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: They are gonna scream yes, mister Mario, and the kids

615
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: are going to close the right. I want to know though,

616
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: going back to that first impression, Ros, do you understand

617
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: the way that that carries because historically, over the past

618
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: several years, for the most part, the guy that that

619
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: Rose goes too, because the bach Rod's have pretty good pickers,

620
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: usually ends up being the final Dude, did you want

621
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: to know that? Yeah? I did, And so, you know,

622
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: it was it was funny, like, um, prior to being

623
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 1: on this season, I would just kind of think about

624
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 1: like or I would look at other seasons and I

625
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: would I would see this significance of that, or I

626
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 1: would see like a group date Rose. You know, just

627
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: kind of watching back other seasons just to know what

628
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: I'm getting myself into, right, And so when I got it,

629
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 1: you know, I came back in and Gus were like, you,

630
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: let's go right. We have a super supportive pad, everyone

631
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: hyping each other up, and so, m I knew that

632
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 1: it was a big deal. I was excited to get

633
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: it from Gabby. I feel like she's got a lot

634
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: of personality and you know, she's not playing games, so

635
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: to get it from her meant meant something too. And

636
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: I think it hit me like the next day and

637
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: I was just like, man, I just I just got

638
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 1: this this first impressure roles, like what is my journey

639
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: gonna look like? You know, um, everyone else kind of

640
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: just got a roads too, or they saw it past

641
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: the roads ceremoney, But like I stood out to her,

642
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 1: So that a lot to me. Yeah, did you feel

643
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 1: like it put because as as wonderful as it can be,

644
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: did you feel like it put a target on your

645
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: back at all? I think, Um, Initially I was like

646
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 1: kind of comfortable, but then after a while, I was like, Okay,

647
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: there is this, um, there's this like pressure to perform now, right,

648
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: because like I just got and maybe perform is not

649
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: the best word, but like there's this pressure to like

650
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: stand out, I'll say, and um, you know, I I

651
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: just wanted to be in a place where I was

652
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 1: like still myself uncomfortable, but I did feel this need

653
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: to like step it up even more because that first

654
00:32:57,960 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: I pressure roles is a big deal. And I stood out,

655
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 1: and I was like, Okay, how can I continue to

656
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 1: stay in the Mario lane but also continue to build

657
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: that relationship with Gabby. So one thing that I actually

658
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 1: wanted to ask you. I thought about this at the

659
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: top of the episode, but I'm like, I'll wait more

660
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: towards you, because it's kind of a heavy question and

661
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 1: I want to word it makes sense. But so nin one,

662
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: you obviously went in very open minded to meeting both women.

663
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: You ended up getting that first impression Roles with Gabby

664
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 1: and having this instant connection. Obviously the chemistry between you

665
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: everyone saw moving forward. Do you feel like after that

666
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: starting point you were all in on Gabby or were

667
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: you still open and maybe wanting to test the waters

668
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: with Rachel limit to see what that could be. Yeah.

669
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: I was still open to test waters with Rachel. You know,

670
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: after we got the rows, or after I got the

671
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 1: first impression Rose. You know, I was standing there in

672
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 1: a rose ceremony and we did our toast and Gabby goes,

673
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: you know, there's still so many of you that I

674
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: haven't connected with, and that was something that like, you know,

675
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 1: I think when you get a rose, you want even me.

676
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 1: During the toast, I was like trying to stand stand

677
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: by er. I was like, yeah, that's right, I got

678
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 1: right right, But I think I think that um, you know,

679
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 1: when she said that, I was like, Okay, it's still early.

680
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: This rose is huge. I'm still trying to see how

681
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 1: things are going to play out. Gabby and I had

682
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: a great connection, but I am open to having a

683
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: conversation right with Rachel, and so, um, I wasn't necessarily

684
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 1: like one hundred percent locked in on Gabby. I still

685
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: wanted to get to know Rachel, but that was as

686
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,799
Speaker 1: a result of what she said, right, I think that, um,

687
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 1: you know, there were still a lot of guys that

688
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: didn't get time that night that you know, kind of

689
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 1: bypassed that Rose ceremony, and so for me, I stood out.

690
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I know that I still

691
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 1: had a target on my back, right, that there were

692
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: still guys I wanted to kind of spend time with

693
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 1: Gabby and Rachel, And so for me, I was like, well,

694
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 1: I should be open and available too. Definitely leaning more

695
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 1: towards Gabby naturally because I just got there, but being

696
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: open to Rachel was something that I was, Wow, this

697
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 1: is like just starting to set in of how complicated

698
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,959
Speaker 1: this could be, just naturally like as humans, right, because

699
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 1: it's like you think about your choice Mario and like

700
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: the emotions of what you're feeling, right, but then you

701
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 1: also have to like take in the other person's emotions

702
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 1: as well. So like Gabby obviously was into you give

703
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: you her first impression roles, right, and you have the

704
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 1: opportunity to also get to know Rachel. But like you

705
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,359
Speaker 1: talking to Rachel, it could also feel like you're doing

706
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 1: the other relationship as a disservice, right, because it's just

707
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: it's unnatural in this this type of world. And then

708
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,280
Speaker 1: also the guys see you talking to Rachel and Assuma,

709
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 1: why are you talking to Rachel because Gabby gave your

710
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 1: first depression role? So like, wow, the complicated like nature

711
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,800
Speaker 1: of this all this now actually but you know what,

712
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 1: it's actually the more that I think about it now,

713
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,320
Speaker 1: I actually kind of like it because initial, you know,

714
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: because when you're the lead, you have so many men,

715
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:20,919
Speaker 1: all vastly different, and so you're trying to compartmentalize each relationship,

716
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: each conversation that you have with everyone that now maybe

717
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 1: you felt this Mario, but now it kind of puts you,

718
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 1: guys in a somewhat similar situation where you have to

719
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: compartmentalize each relationship and each conversation with both women, so

720
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 1: you get more of a feel for what the leads

721
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:41,840
Speaker 1: go through and perhaps you can empathize with them a

722
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah, it really kind of puts you in

723
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: a place where you have to like process your feelings

724
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: and actually think right. And Like I say that specifically

725
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: because you know, if there was one lead, you would

726
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: just be kind of locked in on them, right, But

727
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 1: because there's two, you really process your interaction with Gabby right,

728
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 1: and process your interaction with Rachel. And you sit there

729
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:06,720
Speaker 1: and you think about, Okay, like who did I connect

730
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 1: with more? Right, Like, uh, you know, what did I

731
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:11,800
Speaker 1: like about my time with Gabby? What did I like

732
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 1: about And they're processing that too, right, But they're a

733
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: lead to ultimately, they're kind of choosing your faith in

734
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 1: the sense. But yeah, absolutely, I think you learn about yourself, right, Like,

735
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 1: I think that that's like the biggest takeaways that you

736
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:29,879
Speaker 1: learn about yourself. You learn about how you compartmentalize things,

737
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 1: how you process your feelings, what you like, what stood out?

738
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:34,800
Speaker 1: Did you like laughing or Gabby? Right? Did you like

739
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 1: the deep questions that Rachel was asking me? Right? Like,

740
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 1: being able to process these things I think is a

741
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: benefit to learn about yourself, but also to get a

742
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 1: better understanding of who they are individually. I love seeing

743
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 1: I'm emotional intelligence. I feel like it's gonna be much

744
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: easier for Gabby and Rachel to like pick out which

745
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 1: men have emotional intelligence and which men you know can't

746
00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:59,800
Speaker 1: communicate with like the jealousy and everything, all those different

747
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: like nature things. Wow, it's good. It's good that the

748
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 1: guys couldn't be one thousand percent zone Dan on just

749
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 1: one person, like you said, Mario, And I love that

750
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 1: you called that out because it does make you think

751
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: and it makes you it's not just like you're belgning

752
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 1: just for one lead, where yeah, where the men just

753
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: like have this jealousy, this like need to win. In

754
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: some sort of sense, you kind of have to figure out, Okay,

755
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 1: who's a better fit for me, Like, realistically, if this

756
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: is going to work out and there's an engagement at

757
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 1: the end of this, who is going to be the

758
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 1: best fit for me? And it kind kind of makes

759
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,399
Speaker 1: you guys take a step back and sit in those

760
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,959
Speaker 1: feelings for a bit, which I love and actually like acknowledge. Honestly, Mario,

761
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:39,800
Speaker 1: you pointed out made like a really good point with that,

762
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 1: just because I think it does make everybody like like

763
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 1: a thing you're saying. It makes everybody take a step

764
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 1: back and actually think about the feelings. Whereas when there

765
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 1: is one lead Honestly, it's really easy to be competitive

766
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 1: and like just try to get to the end because

767
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 1: that's what you're supposed to do and not because of

768
00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 1: like your actual feelings. So I will see, Yeah, you

769
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 1: hit it right on the ball, and I think it

770
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: made it more complicated just because there's two, but also

771
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 1: like you start to see the girls kind of form

772
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 1: certain relationships even that like first night, right, like Rachel

773
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: sprained out and got her first impression roles and we're like,

774
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 1: where's she going? You know what I mean, And so

775
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: you start to like kind of compare early right, So yeah,

776
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 1: but I love too is the fact that both women

777
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 1: are so different that it makes it more fun to

778
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 1: watch and it'll be interesting to see who everyone gravitates

779
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 1: towards as the season goes on. Okay, Mario, we always

780
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:41,399
Speaker 1: play a game with our guests, and so it's rapid fire,

781
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 1: and we just want to get to know you more

782
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 1: because we've only seen two seconds of you guys on

783
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 1: the TV screen. There's much more to come, hopefully, But

784
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: we'll just ask you a question and first thing that

785
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: comes to mind, So I will start it off. This

786
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 1: is very easy one. Are you an early riser or

787
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: a night owl. I am early riser for sure. I

788
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 1: love kicking off my day with healthy breakfast, working out,

789
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: and then I'll jump into my clients. So right, the

790
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 1: best dating advice you've ever received, Man, listen to your gut.

791
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 1: And I think that, I mean some people might be

792
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:25,760
Speaker 1: like what, but I think that like that is something

793
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: that people kind of underestimate a little bit. They want

794
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 1: to force things when internally they may feel a feeling

795
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 1: of like this isn't really for me, but I'm kind

796
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: of just stringing it along a little bit just to

797
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 1: kind of make things work. And so listen to your gut.

798
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:45,480
Speaker 1: Anything that you're processing internally or your intuition, pay attention

799
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 1: to that because it's there for a reason. Solid one.

800
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 1: How do you like your pizza well done? Actually? Yeah no,

801
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:01,840
Speaker 1: not not burnt like I speak, because sometimes when I like,

802
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 1: like the cheese, the red sauce is coming down, you

803
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: have your toppings, and some people like it like that.

804
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 1: I like a kind of a crispy pizza somehow happening. Yeah,

805
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 1: or like a deep deep dish thing. Okay, so I

806
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: feel like with that's a good question, I gotta go

807
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 1: deep dish. But I do like thin crust as well. Um,

808
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:27,759
Speaker 1: I just like it to be kind of have some

809
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: crisp to it. I don't like to be like this

810
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 1: right where I'm like looking down. It's got to hold

811
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 1: up the toppings. It's got to hold up the topics. Okay,

812
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 1: shower or bath shower? Um? You know, I can't remember

813
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: the last time I took a bath, to be honest,

814
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 1: but maybe I should take one soon. Oh, do it

815
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: pour yourself. I love a good path. Okay, so this

816
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 1: is a question I'm going to ask, but I also

817
00:41:55,160 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 1: need you to show it. What is your signature dance move? Um? Okay,

818
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 1: let me let me create some space here. Um, you

819
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 1: know the dance move I did on the show was

820
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 1: like I don't know if you guys can see me

821
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: out kind of but it's a little shoulder you know.

822
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 1: I got a little shoulder action, a little shoulders. I like,

00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:25,400

830
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 1: I'm not I don't really drop a ton of like

831
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 1: F bombs or anything. I think for me, I'm actually

832
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 1: not a big square in general, but if something happens,

833
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 1: I'd be like, damn right, you gotta put a little

834
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 1: tone right, so it can. It's applicable to so many

00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 1: are as a person. This is like the most important

845
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:39,880
Speaker 1: question you've been asked. So I UM recently out and

Speaker 1: least or something, right, um yeah right? Uh yeah nothing.

857
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 1: You know, for a while, I did have Kobe Bryant

858
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 1: as my background love Kobe grew up as like a

859
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:31,800
Speaker 1: huge Kobe fan playing basketball. Uh. Then I switched phones,

860
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:33,879
Speaker 1: and then I just kind of kept it basic. If

861
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:36,320
Speaker 1: you could visit anywhere in the world, where would you go?

862
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 1: I would say Grease. You know, every time I see

863
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 1: pictures of Grease, it just looks so like clear. The

864
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 1: water is like beautiful, beautiful scenery. The buildings have this nice,

865
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 1: like all white aesthetic going where the sky is always

866
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:56,279
Speaker 1: like crystal blue, right, Like, um, that's a place that

867
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,360
Speaker 1: I have not been to. But every time I hear

868
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:01,239
Speaker 1: about a friend going there, or like, you know, I

869
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 1: see pictures, I'm like, man, I actually want to travel

870
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 1: here one day, So sure, manifest it. Now we'll get

871
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 1: you to Greece. Okay, last question for the game, and

872
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 1: I don't okay, we have just one word, but I'm

873
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 1: gonna give you a whole phrase. So if you could

874
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 1: give us a phrase to describe the rest of Gabbing

875
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 1: Rachel's season, what would that be? Um? I would say, um? Telling? Oh,

876
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 1: so you only needed one word, That's all I had

877
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:36,719
Speaker 1: to get you through everything in the air Telling. What

878
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 1: does that supposed to tell us? More telling in the

879
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 1: sense of, like, you know, I think that, um, you'll

880
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 1: start to see really like feelings be brought to the table,

881
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 1: not only from Rachel and Gabby, but from the men,

882
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 1: people taking decisions that impact other people, just a lot

883
00:45:56,800 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 1: of different things. So telling, okay, all right, I'm excited.

884
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 1: I'm really excited that that one makes me uncomfortable. I

885
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:07,400
Speaker 1: don't know why doesn't. Oh, I'm ready. I don't know

886
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 1: if you're like, telling is not always a good thing,

887
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 1: but true, true, no, but it's probably needed for everyone. Absolutely, So, Mario,

888
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 1: that was the game. But before we let you go,

889
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 1: we always ask our guests each week what their rose

890
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 1: and thorn was. But because we are in the new season,

891
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna keep it to just the episode so so far,

892
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 1: your Night one, whether you lived it or watched it

893
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 1: back on the screen, what was your rose and thorne?

894
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:37,359
Speaker 1: Basically your highlight and low light of Night one? Man,

895
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 1: I think it doesn't get much of everything. Getting the

896
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:42,280
Speaker 1: first impression rows, right, So that would be my rose.

897
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:47,320
Speaker 1: My thorn would be this is tough because you know

898
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 1: when you get the first impression Rows, it's like, what, like,

899
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:52,799
Speaker 1: what could you have done different that night? I would

900
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 1: say after my interaction with Gabby, I sat on the

901
00:46:57,600 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 1: couch and I was like kind of making small talk

902
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 1: with guy, but there were other guys that were actually

903
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:04,160
Speaker 1: like socializing. But I was in like this like zone

904
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 1: where I do wish I maybe that first night I

905
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 1: could have like hung out with more of the guys.

906
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 1: I've been present in the moment, but I was like, yes,

907
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 1: I just connected with Gabby, Like I think I was

908
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:16,880
Speaker 1: processing that moment like super long, and I should have

909
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 1: just went and like hung out with like the guys, right.

910
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 1: So my thorn would be that first night, maybe like

911
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 1: experiencing that opening night with them a little more and

912
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:29,880
Speaker 1: not being so like, okay, I just did this with Gabby.

913
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:31,800
Speaker 1: Was gonna come next. You're gonna choose me, right, So,

914
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 1: being more present, I would say it is my thorn. Okay,

915
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 1: I'm surprised you didn't say how long that night was. Okay,

916
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start with the thorn. I would say my

917
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 1: thorn is that I think I wish that they were

918
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:50,920
Speaker 1: Gabby and Rachel were like split earlier so that they

919
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:53,719
Speaker 1: could have their own conversations and really like embrace that

920
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:58,359
Speaker 1: first night as individuals because they already met the men

921
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 1: together when you guys were stepping out the limo. Um,

922
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 1: My rose would just be that watching the women so

923
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:10,520
Speaker 1: excited and like truly embracing this and happy and really

924
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 1: seeing potential in more than one relationship for both of them.

925
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 1: And so I think that's that would be my rose.

926
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:19,800
Speaker 1: What about you, Becca, m I'm going to say the

927
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 1: thorn of the episode was that we didn't get to

928
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 1: see more of the chicks and oh, actually no, no,

929
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 1: I'm going to say this one. I love a good costume,

930
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,239
Speaker 1: and no one came in a costume this season, which

931
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:35,040
Speaker 1: I besides, like the guy in the blue, which doesn't

932
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:38,360
Speaker 1: really count, you know, like I wanted a costume like

933
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 1: that's a living animal no, but like he it was

934
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:47,320
Speaker 1: kind of like a knight in shining armor. Yeah, but

935
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:49,360
Speaker 1: he just trying to take off, you know. I wanted

936
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:53,920
Speaker 1: like something whatever it would be, wanted a costume. I

937
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 1: wanted a costume. And the thorn of the premiere is

938
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 1: actually the vibe of the women again, just seeing them

939
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 1: truly I think, embrace the opportunity but really enjoy doing

940
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 1: it together and not feeling like it's taking away from either.

941
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:16,319
Speaker 1: I found that very special. I'm all about like strong friendships,

942
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:18,440
Speaker 1: especially in women, because I feel like in this day

943
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 1: and age, you just don't have enough of that support.

944
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 1: And so I love that we saw them too together,

945
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:25,359
Speaker 1: like the two of them together and their banter. They're

946
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:27,959
Speaker 1: vibe back and forth. They're so different, but they feed

947
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:31,279
Speaker 1: off one another really well. And so I mean, we

948
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:34,719
Speaker 1: will see the romantic relations form, but I just love

949
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:37,840
Speaker 1: watching their friendship right now. And it'd better stay like

950
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 1: that girls, Okay, that's all I gotta say. I think. So.

951
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:42,560
Speaker 1: I think it will because they already know that it's

952
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 1: going to be uncomfortable and that it's new and whatever,

953
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:46,879
Speaker 1: but they seem like two people who just like talk

954
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 1: it through. Yeah. There, I mean everyone so far for

955
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:53,200
Speaker 1: the most part, especially those two seem very mature. So
