1
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: Welcome back Happy Hour listeners. Now, I know I said

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: this last week, but we're gonna do it again, and

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna be doing things a little bit differently because

4
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: we're not having to guess. Today. Rachel and I just

5
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 1: saw we're top on here and give a good old

6
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,159
Speaker 1: old fashioned recap for you all, which I need to

7
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 1: preface it with this. It feels very strange to be

8
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: doing this and get caught up in the show when

9
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: everything has gone down in the past week and a

10
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: half within the franchise. But Rachel, it is a job.

11
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 1: We are professionals most of the time, so here we go.

12
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: But I do have to say, Rachel just showed me

13
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: she's drinking some bordone with some good old tinfoil on

14
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: the becca. Do you call this tinfoil? Tinfoil? Oh, I

15
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 1: just say foil. I've never heard so. I mean it

16
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: is tinfoil. I've just never heard somebody use the full name.

17
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: You gotta give it the problem. Wait, do you say

18
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: aluminum or aluminium? Okay, the fact that you can't say

19
00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: it it's aluminum. Somebody the other day said aluminium and

20
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: I thought they were talking about a rocket ship or

21
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: something that I was like, what the hell are you talking?

22
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: Where were they from? Yeah? But pro tip here for

23
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: anyone who loves to drink some champagne stuck up on

24
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: your board, don't don't put the tinfile on the top.

25
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 1: Just stick a spoon in it and it'll keep the bubbles,

26
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: keeps it fresh, Rachel, before we get into all that

27
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: we saw go down with Hometowns, you know we will

28
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: get into I don't even want to say the drama.

29
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: There was really no drama during Hometowns. But I just

30
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: want to check in with you as a friend overall.

31
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: How are you doing? How's your head, how's your heart? Um?

32
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: You know I was okay initially, I'm not one hundred

33
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: percent okay now just more like just sad. It's humanity,

34
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: just like that's really what it comes down to. It's

35
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: just sad the way people think. And I don't care

36
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: what side you're on on this. It's just sad. We

37
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: are so divide, like to be that's linked to a store,

38
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: worry to be part of a story and then to

39
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: see how and I lived it. I was in it,

40
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: you know, so like it doesn't get more truthful to

41
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: me and the other person, Chris that was involved in

42
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: it and just to see how people are twisting things

43
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: and like kind of like adding their own flare to

44
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: the story. And it's getting so far away from what

45
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: originally happened. It's just disheartening. The name calling, the accusations,

46
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: the assumptions, the misconceptions, the stereotypes. It's just it's a lot.

47
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: It's a lot, you know. But if you think it's

48
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: gonna make me stop doing the things that I'm doing,

49
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: you got me f up. All it does is emboldened

50
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: and empower me. I know my brand, I know who

51
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 1: I am, I know what I stand for, and I'm

52
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: never gonna stop, you know, standing for those things normal

53
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: I stop doing my job, which at the end of

54
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: the day, that's exactly what I was doing, my damn job. Yeah,

55
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Well, And to your point,

56
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: through all of this, you have handled things with so

57
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: much class, with so much grace. You. I think I

58
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: said this on the top of the podcast last week,

59
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: but you are a fighter, and you are such a

60
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: good friend, and I mean, I'm always inspired by you.

61
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: I'm always just in awe of you. You and your

62
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: presence and how you carry yourself and you continue to

63
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: fight for what is right, and so for me personally,

64
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: I just I'm giving you a virtual hug and I

65
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: want you just to know how much I still look

66
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: up to you and respect you and just keep being you,

67
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: keep shining. Your support is everything. Thank you, Becca. You're

68
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: always so sweet. You're always so sweet, and this is

69
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: why I love you, Rachel Lindsay, I just love you

70
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: the podcast. We have the good weeks, we have the

71
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: bad weeks. We have drama, we have zero drama. Whatever

72
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: it could be, the ups and the downs. You know,

73
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: we got each other. So I think with that being said,

74
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: we'll put our little um therapy session assign and just

75
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: get into it right because you're right at hometowns and

76
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: I want to say something. Give it to me. The

77
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: reason we don't have a guest because nobody wanted to

78
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: recap this episode. M you know why. It was boring

79
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: with a capital B. It's the most linear episode I've

80
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: ever seen in all my Bachelor years. There was nothing.

81
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: I kept, Becca, tell me, if you feel the same way,

82
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 1: I kept waiting for something to happen. I kept rewinding it.

83
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: Oh I must have missed what he said. Okay, I no,

84
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 1: you didn't miss anything. Nothing happened, and I mean, I

85
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 1: guess that's it's it's almost like they were all the

86
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: same hometowns, just put in a different parent, a different sister,

87
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: a different you know, contestant. But it was all the same,

88
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: the same conversations, the same responses, right, yeah, there it was.

89
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: It was there was no possess there was no no

90
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: And it's so interesting because all season I feel like

91
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: there's been so much trauma and so much cattiness, just heaviness,

92
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I just want a normal episode, you know,

93
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: like I just want the love stories, and now that

94
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: we have it, we're like, wait, where's the drama? What

95
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: are we watching? Careful what you ask for? Exactly not it.

96
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: You know what if Serena p hadn't self eliminated, nothing

97
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 1: would have happened. There would have been really nothing at all.

98
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: And I don't know if it's suited to the fact

99
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: that like they can't travel home and there's they can't

100
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: really show where they grew up. It's like it's hard

101
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: to bring a city in a hometown to Nemacolin. But

102
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: it was just yeah, I mean at one point, I

103
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 1: mean not even at one point. For most of it,

104
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: I just kind of zoned out, and I was like, oh,

105
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: you know some pictures, paint my nails, do whatever I

106
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 1: gotta do, but tell me that I guess this is

107
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: the moment where the love stories really are coming out.

108
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: Did you long Taxi? I know I did. I said,

109
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 1: damn it, Rachel, you spoke too soon. I longed for

110
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: the days of the cardboard taxi. I tastious hometowns. We

111
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: might have joked about him, but there was some puzzaz

112
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: as you say, it was interesting, There was it was fun.

113
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: There was character to it. I don't know, like even

114
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 1: though they were only on the little kink the property,

115
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: Matt had an opportunity to be bigger and better. It

116
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: seems like they left the property a bit and it

117
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: still was just so flat. Even Rachel falling out of

118
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: the sky onto her face, it still was anti climactic.

119
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 1: I don't know, there was just nothing. Nothing did it

120
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: for me? Yeah, I, oh, you know what. I think

121
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: this is a good point to just walk down memory lane,

122
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 1: because I feel like what we lived was maybe way

123
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: more exciting than when we saw go down way. Take

124
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: a step back to the old wonder years, if you will,

125
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 1: when you were well, I want to get both into

126
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: when you were a Nick season for your hometown date

127
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 1: and then when you were about stride those So a

128
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 1: Nick season, you brought him to church. Correct yes to

129
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: your frontne, what was your favorite part about showing him around?

130
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: I was really eager to take Nick to church because

131
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: even though I wasn't well versed on Bachelor before my season,

132
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: I figured this was something. Well one, I knew a

133
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: black person had never made it this far. I'd never

134
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: had a hometown, so I knew whatever I was doing

135
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: was going to be very new to this audience. So

136
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: I really wanted to show him what a typical Sunday

137
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: was like for me, which was church, which was so

138
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: much fun. Even I remember the cast and crew were like,

139
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: thank you so much for taking us to church. It

140
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: was we had a blast. Like Nick was clapping, he

141
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: wanted to dance, and I was like, chill out, like

142
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: you know, like, don't embarrass me in front of these folks.

143
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: I actually come back here every Sunday. You, on the

144
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: other hand, could be just a visitor. I don't know

145
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: where this is going to go. Then we went to

146
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: brunch at a hotel Zaza, which I don't even know

147
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: if that brunch is still popping, but it was popping

148
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: back back in twenty sixteen when I went and which

149
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: is typically go church, you go to brunch with friends,

150
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: maybe you watch some football, and then we went to

151
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: my parents' house because sometimes that's what we do, is

152
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: Sunday Launch or Sunday dinner. And it was a lot

153
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: of fun. I the girls had a lot of emotion.

154
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: I don't remember being that emotional. They all were crying.

155
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: See what I'm saying. Everything was the same. You cry,

156
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: you cry, you cry, you have a boring pomebow, you

157
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 1: have apart out time that one. Everything was so linear.

158
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: Oh my god. I wasn't emotional like that. I was

159
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: just so happy to see my family. Um, and I

160
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: remember there was a big game on that day. It

161
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: was Packers maybe and somebody else or maybe it's Packers

162
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: and I can't remember the big game. Ons was like

163
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: we keep sticking away to watch the game. But no,

164
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: my hometown was fun. It was easy. Nick fit in

165
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: in a very effortless way. Um, we ate a little

166
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: soul food. We had good conversation. My parents, my family

167
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: kept it real. I loved it. What about Gars, Well,

168
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: there's just something to be said for being back where

169
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: you grew up, like driving down and being able to

170
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: point out that's my school, that's where I had my

171
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: first kiss, that's where I got in a car cry.

172
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: Whatever it might be, there's just something special about that

173
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: that the past two seasons, it's just lacking. What did

174
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: I do? So when I brought Ari to my hometown,

175
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: we went apple picking, which, oh yeah, which is something

176
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: I grew up doing with my family all the time.

177
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: And the orchard that I took him to was amazing

178
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: because not only could we pick apples, but they had

179
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: the slingshot. I don't even know if this aired, but

180
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: we had a massive slingshot where you could put the

181
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: apples in and try to hit the targets. But the

182
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: day that we filmed, it was freezing. It was snowing.

183
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 1: It was so cold. I thought there, I was like,

184
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: I don't even know if there's gonna be apples to pick,

185
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: Like art Department's going to really have to show up

186
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: over time because it was so frozen. Ended up working out.

187
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: We just sat and drink whiskey in front of the

188
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: fire and made her muffles. But yeah, I mean, doing

189
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: a hometown in Minnesota in the winter is not the easiest,

190
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: but I think it was. I didn't cry. I was

191
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: so excited to just see my family, like the fact

192
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,839
Speaker 1: that they you know, there's like so much wait, like

193
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: stop and go, stop and go and wait. I was

194
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: sitting out in the car in front of my mom's

195
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: house for maybe forty five minutes before I could actually

196
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: meet him to walk up, and I was so aunty,

197
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: as like I'm quitting the show now, like I just

198
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: want to run in there. I want to see my family.

199
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: But it was just special. It was just there's something

200
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: about being like seeing all of your family's artwork and

201
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 1: being at the kitchen table that you grew up where

202
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: there's crayon and marker stains all over that just make

203
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 1: it special. But my favorite part, and this I didn't

204
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: even realize in the moment until it aired back later.

205
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,599
Speaker 1: There was a part which, you know, if it is

206
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: what's the saying, um in hindsight everything is twenty twenty.

207
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: There was a moment where I was sitting down with

208
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: my mom talking about, you know, like how this could

209
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 1: potentially end and you know, we are falling for each

210
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: other and could this could have ended an engagement? My

211
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: mom looks at me, and she just goes, no, that's

212
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: all she said, Nope, shakes her head, and that I

213
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: think now because hindsight was probably one of my favorite

214
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 1: moments because I think in that moment moment she knew

215
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 1: that it wasn't going to work out, or like it

216
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: wasn't totally right or there. But yeah, it's just I

217
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: was best. It's so funny that you say that, because

218
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: I kept looking for my parents to be like, no,

219
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: they're saying it, snap out of it, and they were like,

220
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 1: he's cool, and I thought, no, you are the reality

221
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: that it's supposed to check the situation. So I remember

222
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: walking away being like, oh my gosh, my parents liked

223
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: him a lot. My family liked him. They were very

224
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,079
Speaker 1: accepting of him. They were supposed to check me and

225
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 1: bring me back to reality, and they were like, no,

226
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: this is what you want, this is great. And I

227
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: was completely thrown off about that. It's funny that you

228
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 1: talked about waiting outside of your family home. We waited

229
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: for almost two hours, really my home? Do you know why? Why?

230
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: Do you know why? Because my sister and older sister,

231
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: Constance fashion wore a shirt that was moraying on camera

232
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: and they told her not to wear that shirt. But

233
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: she picked this outfit out, She's taken the time, the money,

234
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: and she wanted to wear it, but her on camera

235
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: doesn't work. She spent two hours upset and like venting

236
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: and angry over the fact she couldn't wear the shirt

237
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: until finally she picked out the shirt that she was wearing.

238
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: Then my sister, against the advice of my mother and

239
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: my younger sister, decided to announce her pregnancy during My

240
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: Hometown as well. It ain't about Rachel, It's about my sister.

241
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: I remember thinking, I remember aut se Nick, and I

242
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: was like, well, if this ain't show you how the

243
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: family is, I don't know what else. I totally made

244
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: the Hall Hometown about herself. I love that only because

245
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: I feel like that compared to my sister and I,

246
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: that would have totally been metal totally. But if I

247
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: would have waited two hours, because you know, it's like

248
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: everything has to be filmed within a certain time, like

249
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: you can't go all night filming, I would have been

250
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: so I would have walked in that house and be like,

251
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: take your top off, or you're not coming up, You're

252
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 1: not coming to the state, Like do what you gotta do.

253
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: I should have. I should have. Um, okay, who was

254
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: your favorite? Because we obviously had four hometowns when it

255
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: came to when we were bachelorette. Don't want to go

256
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: through all of them. Who is your favorite? Like for

257
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: me personally when I was lead, now when you were late, Um,

258
00:13:55,520 --> 00:14:01,239
Speaker 1: I was your favorite hometown? I would say Blake probably

259
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 1: was that Betty Who? That was Betty Who? Yeah, there's

260
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: no I mean honestly, I had more of a hometown.

261
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: I think with Betty Who like her and I just

262
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: had a moment We're laying on the floor like rolling

263
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: around singing, dancing, but I and I don't get I

264
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: think it's because I don't get completely surprised and shocked

265
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: ever really in my life. That that was the first

266
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: time where I was like speechless, like what the hell

267
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: is my life right now? She's like, you're one of

268
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: your favorite artists, right she is? And I think it's

269
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: and I think he knew that because coming back from

270
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: a date prior to that, we were in the vans,

271
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: like fifteen minutes driving back to a hotel and I

272
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: mentioned her, and I think he went to his producer

273
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: and was like, hey, she loves Betty Who. How can

274
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: we make this happen? And they the powers that be

275
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: somehow got her and shout out to Betty who you

276
00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: are incredible by the way. Um yeah, I was blown away.

277
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: I did not I thought we were going to go

278
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: to his high school and play basketball or something. I

279
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: was like, Oh, this would be fun, Okay, I'll do whatever.

280
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: And then in the fact that it was Betty who,

281
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: I almost fell over, like I think I drew blood

282
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: on his arm because I was so shocked because I

283
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: like spun around and I was like, but I'm so excited.

284
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: That's pretty awesome. I mean, I would say minus Bryan's

285
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: and not even because I ended up with him, but

286
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: it gave me a taste of who he is. And

287
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: then we did little things that I would love to

288
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: do in real life, like explore the city. We explored

289
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: a certain area of Miami, and then he introduced me

290
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: to a food, a certain Colombian food, and then we

291
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: were like walking the street and then we stopped and

292
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: like bought like little shrinkets and stuff. Then we went

293
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: dancing to live music, which is one of my favorite

294
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: things to do, and so I was just like, oh,

295
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: I love just like the flavor of all of this,

296
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: and it was just a lot of fun. And it

297
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: felt very despite the camera despiping Mike, and if it

298
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: was an actual TV show, it felt very real life

299
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: and it felt very comfortable and effortless. And I was like, yeah,

300
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: this is I would have hated if he had taken

301
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: me to like on a yacht and shown me like

302
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: the more glamorous side of Miami. That's just like all

303
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: the fluff and you know, just very stereotypical Miami. He

304
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: showed me the heart of Miami, like us playing dominoes.

305
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: You listen, I love playing dominoes, like playing dominoes, Domino

306
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: Park and all of it. Like that to me was like,

307
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: oh you hear me, you know, Gret. That's why it's

308
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: always interesting when I watched some hometowns when like somebody

309
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: will go horseback riding or bungee jumping or like you said,

310
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: on a yacht, It's like, what are you doing this

311
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: in real life? Like isn't this supposed to be all

312
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: encompassing of who you are at home? And so I

313
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: never understood. Maybe it's just like they ran out of content.

314
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: I don't know, no ideas, but yeah, I would have

315
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: loved that day. To just exploring a city and having

316
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: somebody show you like their favorite go to spots, absolute things.

317
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: Whose family were you most nervous to meet? Bryan's hands

318
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 1: because because of his mom and because of his mom

319
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: when he had told me he was my first hometown

320
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: that I had. Um, yeah, between his mom and the

321
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 1: first hometown, And I distinctly remember thinking these could be

322
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 1: my in laws, so I really want to make a

323
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 1: good impression. Yeah, Like I was nervous even walking up.

324
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: I remember, and it's so weird now to think about

325
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: it because I go to that house all the time,

326
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 1: but I remember standing around the corner we were walking,

327
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: and then I stopped and I was like, no, no, wait, wait,

328
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: it's just like give me a second, just give me

329
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: a second, because I was thinking these could be my

330
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: in laws, and I didn't really have that same thought

331
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: with the other ones. Like I was nervous, but I

332
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: was really nervous from Brian's and he'll and he'll reference

333
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: that too. Wait who is your top four? Brian, Peter,

334
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 1: Eric Dean. Yeah, okay, Eric's was fun too, um, and

335
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: obviously Dean's was the most awkward, right, But my role

336
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,360
Speaker 1: in Deans was more of like I wanted to make

337
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 1: him feel comfortable because he was so uncomfortable and worried

338
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 1: about what I was thinking. I felt it took. It

339
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: was like a matronly role. I was just like, I

340
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: just want him to know and it was fine, but

341
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: I wanted him to know I'm okay, everything's all good,

342
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: Like let's just go and meet your family. We'll have

343
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 1: a good time. And I wanted him to know, like

344
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 1: it's okay, We're gonna be fine, nothing's weird, all good.

345
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 1: He made it through, and he made it though. It

346
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 1: was fine. I actually enjoyed it until it just got

347
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: like crazy towards the end. Let's just get into it

348
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 1: with these ladies. We look I feel like it's not

349
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: gonna take a song or it's like, yeah, did you

350
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: have a favorite? Did somebody stick out to you? My

351
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: favorite would have been I liked Serena's only because I

352
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 1: felt like she actually brought a piece of home with

353
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: her on her date. Like all the other ones didn't

354
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: feel like anything unique to them. It's like, anyone can

355
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 1: go biking, anyone can go skydiving. Well, Michelle's. I actually

356
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: really did like Michelle's stay the biking. No, not that

357
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 1: I forgot about that. I probably dozed off the kids.

358
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: Oh oh that is Rachel, I totally forgot about. I

359
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: don't blame you, but the kids was I thought, oh,

360
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:23,360
Speaker 1: whoever planned this? This is a really really cute idea. Yeah,

361
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 1: that was sweet. That was sweet, I am And honestly,

362
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 1: it felt like she didn't exactly know if, like who

363
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: was all going to show up, like if the entire

364
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: class is gonna be there. Yeah, I can't believe I

365
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 1: cut that part, but no, no, I get it. That

366
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: part was wonderful. And then yeah, I think Sarna Pee

367
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 1: is just because it felt like something different and it

368
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 1: was cute. I will say I too. Matt James called

369
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 1: the hat that is currently on my head a tobaccan. No, no, Rachel,

370
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 1: it's a sled. No, I'm gonna go ahead and say

371
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: this is something that's with black folks. When Matt said it,

372
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, that is what we call this on

373
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: our head. Is it toboggan? I mean a beanie? Yes,

374
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 1: I know, but we also say tobogan So when Matt

375
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: said it, I go, yes, that's what we say. I

376
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: did an Instagram poll on my story maybe three weeks

377
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: ago about this because I always call it a beanie.

378
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: Canadians called it what a tuc And then somebody, some

379
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: random person was like, no, it's a deboggan. And I

380
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: was like, black, is it a Southern thing? Because I

381
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: don't know, and maybe it's a Southern thing, but when

382
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 1: he said it, I was like, yeah, yeah, that's what

383
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 1: we call it. I had this whole debate with my

384
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: uncle because he went and like back in the roots

385
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: of how it started being called this, and I was like,

386
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 1: I just all I knows is debogan is what you

387
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 1: put your ass in. We don't know, I mean, except

388
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 1: for what's happening right now in Texas. We don't typically

389
00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: use tobogains, so we don't know anything about that. Also,

390
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: if you're listening to this podcasting you're in Texas, we

391
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 1: hope you are safe. We hope that you are somewhere

392
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: that is warm, that has power. But Becca shout out

393
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 1: to Maya. This one's for you, Maya. Maya has given

394
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: us the definition of a toboggan. It is one of

395
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: a vast array of words used to describe a nit hat.

396
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: Because of the freezing condition conditions, toboggan riders are often

397
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: oh gosh, I cannot read. Because of the freezing conditions,

398
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: Tobiban riders often wore knit hats to keep warm. These

399
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 1: hats soon became noticed toboggan hats, but since at least

400
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 1: nineteen twenty nine, the second word has been dropped, meaning

401
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 1: they are just called toboggan. Interesting. You'll learn something new

402
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: every day. Yeah, Also, black folks sing when I think

403
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: of a toboggan. All I don't know why this pops

404
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: into my head is care bears? Like that's it. I'd

405
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 1: like to show you something alto a second. Okay, what

406
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 1: do you have to tell me, Rachel? Okay, since you

407
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 1: mentioned toboggains and care bears, I'd like to show you something. Stop.

408
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: I feel like I had one. I wonder if my

409
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: mom still has wine. It looks a little disheveled, but

410
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 1: this is grumpy. He's from nineteen eighty five. I'm pretty

411
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: sure he's probably worth something now, well, now now that

412
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: he's yours, it definitely is Do you sleep with him

413
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 1: every night? Yes? When coppers I try to attack him.

414
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 1: And this You've mentioned care bears, But maybe that's why

415
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: I have a love for toboggains. Maybe that's why I

416
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: called from that because the girls are here. We have

417
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: Grumpy here with us today. Grumpy, how did you feel

418
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: about hometowns? His face says it all crickets, I get it.

419
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 1: I feel you, man. How did I not know that

420
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: you slept with the care bear? I talked about sleeping

421
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: with my blanket all the time, and people give me

422
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: so much crap for it. But you also have a vice. Okay, Grumpy, Now,

423
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: if he's really is worth a lot of money, I'm

424
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: selling him. How does Brian feel about him? He moves

425
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 1: him to the side, but he's around. He's around, so

426
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 1: he's still here. He's the first man in your life.

427
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: He's the first man in my life. Nineteen eighty five

428
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: Rumpy and the name fits um. Okay, we have gone

429
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: down the wrong path between Vitamata, vegament and Grumpy. I'm

430
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: revealing all the things that I that I love outside

431
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 1: of fast donation. I don't even want to like break

432
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,679
Speaker 1: down these dates, like the activities. I just want to

433
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 1: get into, like the families and the conversations. Yeah, following

434
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: your lead, all four of these what family stock out

435
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: to whoa, Oh my gosh, I'm pretty into Rachel. I

436
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 1: cannot talk stuck out to you the most, or did

437
00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: anyone ask like a really good question. I guess Shell

438
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 1: maybe because she was first Michelle. Michelle's family stood out.

439
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: They seemed to care her whatever she went through in

440
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: the last relationship. You could tell her family was very

441
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,439
Speaker 1: much so involved, so she's very close to them. Seems

442
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 1: like she leaned on them when she was going through it.

443
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: They seemed to like really be concerned about that. But

444
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 1: also we're very perceptive of how she was filling with Matt,

445
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: Like the mom was like, I'm paying attention to how

446
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: he looks at you, and then she was kind of

447
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 1: asking the questions before Michelle was even able to talk

448
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 1: about it, like she just knew, like they were very

449
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: much so in sync, they got it. I just like Michelle.

450
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 1: She she is very I would have guessed she was

451
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 1: a teacher before I knew. She just seems very like

452
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 1: she gives off that vibe, very warm. You just seem

453
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 1: like you're comfortable with her. There's no airs about her.

454
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: What you see is what you get. Very things just

455
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: seemed effortless with her. I like Michelle. Yeah, it felt

456
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 1: like watching the way that they interacted, it's not over

457
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,239
Speaker 1: the top. It's not like in your face. She like

458
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:19,439
Speaker 1: her family really truly. Maybe it's the Minnesota kind of

459
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 1: reminded me of how mine was like just very even keeled,

460
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 1: would ask the right questions like it wasn't you know.

461
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: They were a little bit hesitant of maybe like how

462
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: the show was running, but still like open and trusting

463
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 1: their daughter. I do like how they were like, we

464
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: trust her daughter, like, you know, if she's feeling this way,

465
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: then we'll go with it. We will accept the relationship

466
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 1: whatever that might be. Um. I think out of all

467
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 1: of the families, I I liked um Serena's sister because

468
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 1: she was the first one to call her out and

469
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: be like, hey, I don't see it with you. There's

470
00:25:56,280 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: no pizzas, something's missing. I liked it, which I think

471
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: it's so easy and granted, like I can't put myself

472
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 1: in my family's shoes because I'm the one who went

473
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,199
Speaker 1: on the show, But I think it's very easy for

474
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 1: people to feel like they want this love story to

475
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 1: work out and it's like this beautiful, perfect, like extravagant

476
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:21,640
Speaker 1: situation where they want they of course want the loved

477
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 1: one to find a partner, but the fact that she's

478
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 1: like I don't know. You just seem different. It's not

479
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 1: like you're you're not all in. I'm glad that she

480
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: had that moment, because how did her sister and her

481
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: mom not had that conversation. I don't know if she

482
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 1: would have sent herself home, do you No, You're right,

483
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: That's that is what I was trying to get from

484
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 1: my family, like a reality check. Man. I liked Nick,

485
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 1: but I thought that they would have checked me like

486
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: her family checked her. I guess they were like, nah,

487
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: you look like you really liked this man, which, yeah, yeah,

488
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: I thought, I absolutely agree with you. If if Serena

489
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: didn't get that from her family, I don't know if

490
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 1: she would have been able to see it. And that's

491
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: the beauty of hometowns. I think that's the bigger picture.

492
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: Is your family is your reality check. They're not living

493
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 1: in the bachelor bubble. They don't understand what it is

494
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: to go through this accelerated version of finding your person

495
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: and falling in love. You can tell I've been watching

496
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,719
Speaker 1: Gray's Anatomy that I just said my person. I mean,

497
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: I know Serena pie said's and I actually really don't

498
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 1: like when people say that. But I've been watching a

499
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: lot of Gray's Anatomy shout out to Christina and Meredith

500
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: Christina Gang and Meredith Grey, who are each other's person's

501
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 1: best No, but I liked that Serena would have been

502
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 1: my second pick of a favorite hometown, just because there

503
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: seemed to be of like, let's just like cut the

504
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 1: bs and get right to it. Serena, this ain't for you.

505
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: And kudos to Serena for taking that and then actually

506
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 1: saying that's true. Kudos to Serena for being able to

507
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: like take that in and say, oh, no, I was

508
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:04,360
Speaker 1: saying a lot of times you see other families try

509
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: to tell the contestant, hey, you like I don't really

510
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 1: see it, or are you sure, and they just kind

511
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: of brush that off because of what they're feeling in

512
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: the bubble. Serena said, I'm gonna listen to my people.

513
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: My people know me, they get me, and you know,

514
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 1: she made her decision thereafter when they sit down and she's,

515
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: you know, kind of hesitant about how she's feeling with

516
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: him and he and he just goes, just trust me,

517
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 1: just trust me. Was there a disconnect there because I'm

518
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,439
Speaker 1: sitting there as a viewer being like she's trying to

519
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: tell you how she's feeling right now. She's like not

520
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 1: fully in, she doesn't know how she totally feels. But

521
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: for you to just say just trust me seems like

522
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: a very odd response. Correct. Yes, there seems to be

523
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: a disconnect with Matt and all the women except for Rachel,

524
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: which it was interesting that he came back and then

525
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: said all those things because there wasn't a disconnect at

526
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: that point. Yeah, it was weird. It's like, I don't

527
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: know if he took it as she was hesitant because

528
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: she was thinking, oh, he still has through their way.

529
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:11,959
Speaker 1: I don't know. I was looking at it like, oh,

530
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,239
Speaker 1: she wants out and she just can't fully say right now,

531
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: and he's like still trying to convince her. But I

532
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: don't even think he was aware that that was happening,

533
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 1: Like it was just strange. But then but then when

534
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: they actually sit down for her to leave, when he

535
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 1: said goodbye, it didn't seem choppy. When he's just like okay,

536
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: well can I walk you out or can you walk

537
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: me out? There was like no, like I could tell

538
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: he was upset, But do you think it was because

539
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: he was gutted or because he was This was one

540
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: of the first girls who really self eliminated besides Kit,

541
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 1: I think that he felt embarrassed that he said, came

542
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: to her room, took that time extra time to come

543
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: and talk to her. And then she was like yeah,

544
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: and she said, you're not my person. She could have

545
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: just said you don't what, like I'm not ready. She said,

546
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 1: it's not even that I'm not ready. I don't see

547
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: it with you like that was kind of harsh. She

548
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 1: didn't say it harsh, but it was like very direct.

549
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: Loved it. Love that she was so matter of fact

550
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: about it. She beat around the bush. She was just like, Nope,

551
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: it's not you. And I think that caught him off

552
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: guard now and you see that he was kind of

553
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: like taking it back. There was a silence, and then

554
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 1: in the car he seemed upset and then we saw

555
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: the emotion from him and then my voice kind of

556
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: goes up the emotion, but the question mark from him,

557
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,719
Speaker 1: I'm convinced they took that from something else that just

558
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: didn't flow quite right with me. I said, where is

559
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: this tear coming from? You haven't given Serena, Pete anything

560
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: or Brey or Michelle this whole time. He's very dry

561
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: and I find I find us all very interesting. We've

562
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: clearly seen him weeks ago tell Rachel that he's falling

563
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: in love with her, but he won't tell any of

564
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: the other women that. I mean, what do y'all want

565
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: us to do with this here? Well? Which is interesting

566
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: because I felt like when I was the lead, I

567
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: was very I knew I didn't want to tell anyone

568
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: I loved them until it was at the very end,

569
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: like there was one person left. But I had conversations

570
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 1: with the team about it because a lot of a

571
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 1: lot of the producer had worked on similar seasons. So

572
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: they're like, Okay, you know, we saw so and so

573
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,239
Speaker 1: say I love you to two people we saw so

574
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 1: it's like, where's the balance? Like usually I feel like

575
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 1: if they give one hand, they have to give the other,

576
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: so it leaves the audience wondering. And right now it's like, yeah,

577
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: very apparent. He's like, don't want to say it to them,

578
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: just yeah we said it's Rachel so and early on

579
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 1: a first one on one. I don't know, for me,

580
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: I didn't mind saying I was like my top four.

581
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: I told all of them that I was falling in

582
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: love with them because I was, you know, like I

583
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: had feelings for them and I was falling, but only

584
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: to one person. I was actually in love with them.

585
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: But like I did, I I'd love for all of

586
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: my top four in different ways, and it all meant

587
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: something different. And for me, I didn't even think about

588
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: like what that could mean, you know, in the it

589
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 1: when making a TV show, I was very much so

590
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: in the moment. So if I felt it, I said

591
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: it because I didn't want to have any regret. If

592
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: I said it to you, I meant it wholeheart heartedly,

593
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: and I didn't want to go back to my room

594
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: and think, oh I wish I would have said it.

595
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: I didn't think about, oh, this could be bad for

596
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: the person I choose at the end, and I watch

597
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: it because I wanted you to know that every what

598
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,479
Speaker 1: you saw was real, and if I chose you, that

599
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: means I chose you feeling everything and still said, but

600
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 1: it's you out of all these people. I wanted to

601
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: give myself fully in whatever way that I wanted to

602
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: with each person. Yeah, I wanted I see, and I

603
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: was so I think I was so scarred from my

604
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: time on the Bad Shirt, where I knew the kid

605
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: said it to multiple people. So I was so guarded.

606
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 1: But if I was just to go like balls to

607
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: the walls and say, I would have told Blake like

608
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 1: WI two, you know this, and elfhere He's like, I'm

609
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: in love and I don't care who knows it. That's

610
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: how I felt. Where the producers were like, maybe rain

611
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: it in a little bit, like don't give all of

612
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: your cards away right away two weeks in and then

613
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: have whatever I mean, obviously we shout how it all

614
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 1: went down. Yeah, it's such a weird balancing act. It

615
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: is a weird balancing act. And you can't and you

616
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: are kind of like, you know, you can't give too

617
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: much to each person. You have to keep it. It's

618
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: just part of it and for their sake, but then

619
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: also because TV show. But I don't know. I just

620
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: think it's weird that he hasn't told any of the

621
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: other women or we haven't seen it. But because they're

622
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: saying it and he's not saying it back, he's kissing them.

623
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: Usually at this point they're at least saying it. They're

624
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: not saying they're in love with you. They're saying they're

625
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: falling for you, right, But do you think it's can

626
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: you chalk it up to the fact that he's never

627
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: done this before, so he doesn't know what it feels like.

628
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 1: On the other side, like he's just so lazer lazered

629
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: in I'm just one woman that he just maybe true,

630
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: you know, like it's very obvious. It's with Rachel um

631
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 1: god who one of the hometowns. He was dead in

632
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: the eyes. Oh I think I think it was breeze.

633
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 1: He was dead in the eyes like there was he

634
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 1: was giving her nothing. Oh yeah, she was saying it.

635
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 1: She was there, he was kissing her, but there was

636
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:32,760
Speaker 1: nothing on those sides. It's all in the eyes, ladies,

637
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: It truly is. I know the song says it's all

638
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 1: in his kiss. It's not. It's in his eyes. Men

639
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 1: can't hide it. They don't know how to They don't

640
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 1: know how to do that. If you want to know

641
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,399
Speaker 1: if he loves you, shut so almost said, oh my god,

642
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: this sport. I cannot handle it. If you want to

643
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,919
Speaker 1: know if he loves you so in his heart, No,

644
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: it's kiss that's where it is. Yeah, like is it

645
00:34:55,800 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: it is hard? Oh? No, If you wanna know he

646
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 1: loves his eyes, I think it's good. No, I know,

647
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:06,919
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, but it's really in his eye. It's

648
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 1: not at his kiss, it's in his eyes. Like so

649
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 1: many people are going to write in and be like,

650
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 1: now these are the later stop singing. They're gonna like

651
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 1: stop singing. Yeah. The more though that I feel like

652
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: the longest time, I couldn't tell what Matt James's type was, Like,

653
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,399
Speaker 1: who is he actually into? I mean, obviously we talked

654
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: about he's very into Rachel, but I think he's into

655
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 1: That's why I think he likes Serena p so much.

656
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 1: It's it's like childlike in a way, like their interaction.

657
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 1: It's just so playful and lighthearted and fun that I

658
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: think and maybe and also too, I don't know if

659
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,359
Speaker 1: that's like the best thing at this point for like

660
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:48,800
Speaker 1: a long lasting relationship, but that that's what I'm slowly

661
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 1: learning about him, is that he gravitates towards like the fun,

662
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: giddy playfulness like we saw with him and Tyler Cameron.

663
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 1: He always talks about how he loves to play brankstuff

664
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: people and yeah that was his favorite thing. You'd be surprised.

665
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, there just doesn't seem to be I can't

666
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 1: see him getting engaged at the end of It's gonna

667
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: be honest, like it's I can't see from where we

668
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 1: are right now in the show more than ever, I

669
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:17,240
Speaker 1: can't see him jumping to engagement. You watched other seasons

670
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 1: is just a different feel. If this is your first

671
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 1: season watching The Bachelor, then you don't know. But if

672
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:26,760
Speaker 1: you watch other seasons, something's missing and I just can't

673
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: see him like I can't. First of all, this has

674
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 1: been a very long season, so thank you for bearing

675
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: with us and staying with us through this through this

676
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 1: long season. But something is off. I don't know what

677
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 1: to do. You feel it something's missing that he's not

678
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 1: getting engaged at the end of that. No, I totally

679
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: would agree with you. I can't. I cannot picture him

680
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 1: getting down one knee at the end of this. But

681
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: that's what made it interesting when he went into the

682
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:54,319
Speaker 1: Rows ceremony and he's just like Serena Pe went home

683
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 1: because she couldn't see an engagement, And that's what I'm

684
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,240
Speaker 1: looking for. So if you're going to accept this, Rose,

685
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 1: just know that that's what's in mind, which we all

686
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,439
Speaker 1: know that supremise of the show, that's why people come

687
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 1: on is to potentially fall in love and get engaged.

688
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: But that's where I was like, Okay, are his words

689
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 1: going to add up to his actions or is it

690
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 1: gonna be like is it gonna get down to the

691
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 1: wire in that last day and be like, oh now

692
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 1: I have to actually put my money where my mouth is,

693
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 1: and maybe I'm not quite ready. So yeah, I'm the

694
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 1: Meryl Street me. We don't believe you know, Like I

695
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 1: got my hands up to my face, I'm standing up.

696
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't believe you at all at this point. Yeah,

697
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 1: we got a couple more weeks, so well, speaking of

698
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 1: what we think is going to happen, let's get into

699
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 1: some predictions here. Okay, because we doing lot predictions that stood.

700
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 1: Who do you think of? Stop two are? Oh? Yes, um,

701
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 1: as of right now, I'm gonna say Rachel and Michelle

702
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:55,320
Speaker 1: because Sree was gone. Yeah, it's clearly Rachel. Yeah, I

703
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: mean we already we've we've literally said it. We said

704
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,760
Speaker 1: he was dead in the eyes talking to breathe Serena

705
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:04,240
Speaker 1: pe eliminated himself. It's got to be Michelle and Rachel

706
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 1: at this point. Yeah, yeah, that's the top two. I mean,

707
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: other predictions Becca and I have already said we don't

708
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 1: think he's getting engaged. It's just too far off the leap.

709
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 1: Someone's lacking here unless unless something we got We got

710
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 1: fantasy suits coming up. So unless something boom bam happens

711
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 1: in the boom boom room, I'm not seeing it. What

712
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: do you think prediction for this one? What do you

713
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:29,799
Speaker 1: think makes him break down that we saw in the

714
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 1: teaser When christ I've said it before, I said, he

715
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:36,399
Speaker 1: has not shown any emotion with these women, so it

716
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: has to be something coming from the outside in my opinion,

717
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: that makes him break down, because that's zero to one hundred,

718
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: and we have not seen him show that type of

719
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, feeling towards them. So something else,

720
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, if it's a mom, what he has,

721
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: a brother, maybe his brother, I don't I don't know.

722
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: Something else makes him break down that way. It's not

723
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 1: these women. I have a feeling that it's going to

724
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 1: happen in fantasy suites were one girl, because there's always

725
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 1: somebody that gets sew in their head and they're like,

726
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 1: I can't imagine you being with anybody else. I have

727
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 1: to leave, or like is on the edge of being

728
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,359
Speaker 1: like I can't do this I got to see myself out,

729
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: and that's what I think it might be. I just

730
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: don't think he likes anybody enough to really break down

731
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 1: down that much. I didn't even believe the one tear.

732
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,319
Speaker 1: It wouldn't even a tear. It was like wetness that

733
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:27,919
Speaker 1: was on his face after Serena p left. I think

734
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:29,720
Speaker 1: the only one that could do it is maybe Rachel.

735
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 1: Maybe Rachel. You're right, because we know he likes her. Yeah. Yeah,

736
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 1: is there anybody reading the dude who couldn't hit the

737
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:41,800
Speaker 1: room this week? I'm gonna say, Matt MA with Serena,

738
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 1: Matt with Serena, MA with Serena when she's having that

739
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 1: conversation after he met her family and she's trying to

740
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,720
Speaker 1: basically say like she's still kind of hesitant and is unsure,

741
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: and he's like, just trust me, just trust me. That's

742
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: where I was like, Matt, get it together. She's not

743
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 1: that into you. We've all seen the movie. Mmmm it

744
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 1: was that. It was that yoga day. Yeah, I'm giving

745
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 1: it to the skydiver professional fell on top of Rachel.

746
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 1: Did he not look so young when they were sitting

747
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 1: in the plane too. I looked at him and I

748
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 1: was like, I don't think he's qualified to be doing

749
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,839
Speaker 1: this right now. Well, and it shows, I've hope he's

750
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:27,799
Speaker 1: been bench it benched, suspended, license revoked, you know, I

751
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:31,879
Speaker 1: mean it was. It's not funny, but it's like she's

752
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:34,400
Speaker 1: given the thumps up. She's having the time of her life.

753
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 1: She's like, mad, I'm literally falling for you. And then

754
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 1: the next thing they show is this man falling on

755
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 1: top of her with his whole way. Sorry, this is

756
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:44,840
Speaker 1: what you do for a living. How many planes have

757
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 1: you jumped out of? How many times have you done this?

758
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 1: My goodness of a show hired you to do your

759
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: job and you've failed. Well, you know, they could only

760
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,760
Speaker 1: have so many people in quarantinaemicole, and so they actually

761
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 1: asked the chef to come fill in that day. Have

762
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,359
Speaker 1: you literally have you seen have you seen The Dark

763
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 1: Knight Rises? No? You have it? No, I'm not a

764
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,839
Speaker 1: big movie watcher. I'm not either. I am not either,

765
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:15,800
Speaker 1: but my god, Becca, if there's a trilogy to watch,

00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:20,799
Speaker 1: it's I've seen the Dark Knight. It's the Dark Knight. No,

767
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,799
Speaker 1: it's the Dark Knight Begins, I think, or something like

768
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 1: something like that. And then it's a dark Knight is dark, dark,

769
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 1: Knight rises. There's a point, oh my gosh, when everybody

770
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 1: thinks Batman's dead. I don't want to give too much away.

771
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: And Alfred the one who's been taking care of Batman

772
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: ever since his parents were gunned down in the streets,

773
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 1: and he says he trusted me. I failed you and

00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 1: I failed you. It trusted me. That was Rachel with

775
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 1: the skyty that was essential. She trusted you and you

776
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 1: failed her. Oh my gosh, can you imagine? No, Like,

777
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 1: I've been skydiving before and really oh and I love it.

778
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 1: It's so fun. But but the landing, like, I mean,

779
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:09,319
Speaker 1: all you're supposed to really do is like stick up

780
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 1: your legs and you know they'll landing Nason smooth. But

781
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 1: but it's not easy. But I cannot There was like

782
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 1: there was not even legs up or anything like. That

783
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 1: guy was just like straight roller like what is it

00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 1: be okay. That is awful. Like this man needs to

788
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 1: go back to training. I'm not quite sure. Let's they

789
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,200

00:42:51,880 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 1: represent you everybody. Um, Okay, somehow I don't know this

792
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 1: was I'm going to go ahead and give this award

793
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 1: as the most boring episode I've ever seen since I've

794
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 1: been watching The Bachelor. And somehow we were still able

795
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,919
Speaker 1: to talk about this episode for over fifty minutes. That

796
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: is what you call professionalism. Well, I also think you

797
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 1: sing for about twenty minutes of it, So thank and

798
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 1: I'll be back next week for more tunes. Everyone, please

799
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 1: send in your karaoke request to Rachel. She will try

800
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 1: to cover as many as she can. I will throw

801
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 1: some in there as well. I will maybe bring out

802
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:37,399
Speaker 1: my tambourine, my harmonica, whatever you want. We are here

803
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 1: to entertain you. Yeah, I mean, I think that is it.

804
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: I'm very proud of us. I must say, I'm very

805
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 1: proud that we come from this episode. Honestly though, I

806
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 1: am looking forward to next week for Women Tell All

807
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 1: because I feel like, not even for the drama, but

808
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 1: just to get into some more conversations about the women,

809
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 1: their thoughts on what I feel like, what they lived through.

810
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 1: On the show versus what was portrayed. I think it's

811
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 1: going to hopefully be one Women to All that has

812
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 1: a little bit more depth and from what we can

813
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 1: take from the women that we've had on the podcast

814
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,280
Speaker 1: so far, it doesn't seem like it got crazy, Caddy.

815
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 1: It's just hopefully more insightful if anything else, which is

816
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 1: probably something very much needed at this time for vaternation.

817
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 1: So you guys, stay tuned for next week. We can't

818
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,359
Speaker 1: wait to have the Women to All episode. And while

819
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 1: we've had the pleasure of speaking to some of the

820
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 1: ladies from this season, we're eager to hear from some

821
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 1: more who we haven't gotten to speak with yet. Yes,

822
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 1: and next week we are veering off the path. I

823
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 1: know you guys, you come here, I'll be honest. You

824
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 1: don't want to hear Becca and I talk. We've seen

825
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 1: your reviews. You want the guests, and we know there

826
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 1: was no guests this week. But guess what we have

827
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:56,279
Speaker 1: next week. Not a contestant on the show, not a

828
00:44:56,280 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 1: former lead, not someone I don't know. If have you

829
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 1: ever heard on your I don't podcast whatever it may be,

830
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 1: where you listen to things I don't know, if you've

831
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:11,360
Speaker 1: ever heard from this person. So you're getting a Bachelor

832
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:16,399
Speaker 1: Happy Hour special here next week, Four Women Tell All

833

834
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:25,320
Speaker 1: that we've really been waiting to have on this podcast

835
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 1: for quite some time, and that is the hilarious, the

836
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 1: talented Amy Schumer. That's right, she's a huge fan of

837
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,280
Speaker 1: the show. She's been keeping up with all the drama

838
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:39,879
Speaker 1: this season. We're so, so so excited to have her

839
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 1: here on her take on everything that's gone down this season.

840
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 1: But also the Women Tell All You guys, I don't

841
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 1: know any other podcast that's bringing you guests like Amy Schumer.

842
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna brag on that for a second. Try Echa.

843
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 1: I cannot wait. I feel like I have to send

844
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 1: her some bordone before she hops on. But like I

845
00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:00,320
Speaker 1: feel like I haven't been this excited did to have

846
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 1: a guest on since we didn't listen to your Heart

847
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 1: when we had some awesome musical talent. So I can't

848
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:06,360
Speaker 1: wait to bring her on. I feel like I'm just

849
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:09,240
Speaker 1: going to sit there and just like La, I probably

850
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:11,319
Speaker 1: won't talk. I'll probably just laugh the entire time. So

851

Speaker 1: apologies in advance everyone, But in the meantime, if you

852
