We're gonna have a lot of 0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:23.679 fun today. We're going to keep it real honest, tell 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:25.720 us say things we're not supposed to say, which is 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:27.400 what I love to do. But most of all, we're 0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:30.120 gonna have fun. So let's just get right into it. Okay, 0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:32.920 we all know each other through this Bachelor Nation world, 0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:39.000 but we were all on different seasons. I mean, Brian, Eric, 0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:41.760 we were on the same season together. You guys, Joe 0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:45.480 and Kendall were on Paradise together. You guys were on 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:49.800 Colton season Katie and Tasia together. But so Brian are 0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:51.920 the first removed from the show. I guess I want 0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:54.040 to feel like, what would you say are some of 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:57.200 the biggest changes from the show between our time to you? 0:01:57.520 --> 0:01:59.280 You guys, because you're the most recent on the show, 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:04.280 did you watch the show before? I'm Ben was my 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:06.560 first season. I watched okay, and then I watched Joe 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:08.880 Joe's and then I kind of like, oh, you fell 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:15.600 off to No. No, I watched your season, but I 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:17.480 just didn't watch it all the way through. I think 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:18.919 it was more of like the friends that I was 0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:22.360 hanging out with at the time, my girlfriends in high school, especially, 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:25.720 they had Bachelor Mondays, so they had like a big 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:27.880 group of girlfriends, and then kind of like when people 0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:29.880 were going to college and moving around all that stuff, 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:34.120 everything kind of like changed. But yeah, everything was super 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:37.239 new for me. But the most the thing that I 0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:41.240 learned about most, I would feel was finding myself. I 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:42.920 think because, like I shared on the show, I went 0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:45.680 through a divorce, so I was just really finding who 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:49.120 I was and just doing things for me for like 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:51.359 the first time in my twenties. So it was really 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:54.080 transformative in that aspect. Yeah, the show is such a 0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:59.839 crazy experience, you know, me personally, I'm glad it's over. 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:02.120 How do you guys feel about that? Like, are you 0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:04.320 glad that the show is over and done with and 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:07.320 you can kind of move on? Definitely? I think so 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:10.720 because when you're on the show, when you're on the show, 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:13.240 you're looking for love and you're trying to find more 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:16.840 about yourself and who you are as a partner. And afterwards, 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:18.679 I feel like I learned so much more about being 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:21.760 in a relationship, not only with someone else, but also 0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:25.239 being like my individual self in a relationship. I learned 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:27.800 a lot about um. So I feel like I was 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:31.480 excited to learn from the show and then go into 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:35.640 like the real world with that knowledge. So yeah, I 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:39.160 feel like you Candel and show are together. Yes, Brian 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:42.600 and I are. Mary Katie, you're engaged, okay? Eric? Are 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:46.520 you currently single? I'm single, so I've been dating all year. 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:50.440 Would you go back on the show? No, you're done. 0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:55.040 So we're all done. I mean unless I get to pick. Yeah, 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:57.080 what if they made you the lead? Would you do it? Yeah? 0:03:57.080 --> 0:04:00.120 I will do it? Okay, sure, just because I have options. No, 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:03.480 that's right out there. I just think it's better that way. 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:05.560 When you go through Paradise and go through the first season. 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:09.960 It's a lot twenty Rachelor, I mean, campaign is star. 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:13.080 This is the first year. Honestly, I really really was like, man, 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:15.640 I really really want to do this early. I be 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:19.560 in a relationship and figure it out, but failed whole year. 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:23.919 Really is it really hard to date in LA because 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:26.560 you don't know women's true intentions? What do they want 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:28.520 from you? Already dating me because of your status or 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:32.080 your saying, um, I asked for real questions? So what 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:35.400 is it about me? You did fail? Though? No, not fail. 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:37.600 I'm learning. Yeah, but you know what I've learned. It's 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:39.919 not my time, it's not your time. I'm like, damn, 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.040 like cannot what. I was like, you know what, let 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:44.360 it happen. It's hard to date in La. I think 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:47.080 there's a lot of different people, a lot of different temptations, 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:50.760 a lot of shiny things, and being single in LA. 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:53.560 When I was living here as a single woman, it 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:58.680 was very difficult to stay focused on so many distractions. 0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:01.520 Especially with the apps nowadays, it's like, oh gosh, I 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:04.320 feel like people treated as a game yeah laughter, are 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:06.880 always trying to upgrade quote unquote so well. You also 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:10.360 don't feel the sense of like, oh, I have to 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:12.960 really work at this relationship. There's always the thought of, oh, 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:14.640 if this doesn't work out, I can just go back 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:16.640 on the app. Like I know so many people who 0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:18.800 download the app to lead it, download it, deleat it, 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:22.040 and it's just you know, it's like a a savior 0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:25.040 if you feel like a relationship isn't work safety net exactly. 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:26.960 You feel like you feel like you don't have to 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:29.359 put as much energy into a relationship because there's always 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:31.720 the next person. Yeah, is that why you went on 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:35.280 the show, Just because like it's more controlled, you know, 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:37.400 I guess, and maybe people you would hope people are 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:40.200 all coming in with the right intentions, and I honestly 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:43.280 didn't go on the show expecting to ever find anybody. 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:44.760 I mean, I was definitely open to it. I think 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:46.719 the one thing you have to have is openness to 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:49.559 find somebody. But I went on it because I thought 0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:53.040 it would be a really transformative, amazing experience, and it 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:56.200 was and I did happen to find somebody, but neither 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:58.680 of us expected to find each other, which I think 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:00.920 was the best part, about one hundred percent the best way. 0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:03.000 And Joe, I know why you came on the show. 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:06.400 If y'all didn't know already, Joe's approached in a grocery 0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:11.360 store and literally said, sure, I'll be the bachelor, and 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:13.359 she's like, wait a minute, there's steps to this. You 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:16.839 don't just get to immediately me the bachelor. No, she 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:19.000 didn't even tell me that. I actually called a friend 0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:20.800 and they're like, no, that's not how it works. You 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:24.800 need to go on the first one. So we all 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:27.279 did say yes, and we did it. Tasia and Katie, 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:29.839 why did you originally decide to go on the show. 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:33.200 So my girlfriends actually nominated me to go on the show, 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:38.279 and at that time I really just had nothing tying 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:39.720 me down. It was the thing that I was just 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:42.120 trying to find myself, and I felt like I was 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:44.200 open to it, but I just didn't know what I 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:46.479 wanted yet. So I feel like this is just a 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:47.960 way for me to grow up. I feel like the 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:51.560 show helped you find yourself. It does. And before I 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:55.880 went on Colton season, I was reached out on Instagram 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.600 by a casting really on July fourth, and I was like, 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:03.120 I wonder if she's drinking at a party, maybe she's confused. 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:05.000 Like I didn't sure, no idea. I was like, I 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:08.039 don't know what's happening, but then walked into casting. It 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:12.560 just kind of flowed from there. But my friends definitely 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:15.240 pushed me to do it. I was really nervous, as 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:18.760 you should be. You're going on TV today, Like it's yeah. 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:21.880 I was just feeling almost like, oh, I'm gonna feel 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:24.000 violated or expose myself too much, but you know what, 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:27.520 then we do it. Who did anybody do anything to 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:31.080 prepare to go on the show. So, and I'll preface 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:33.360 this by saying, for me, I had never seen an 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:35.400 episode before I went on it. Crazy enough, I had 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:37.240 been to watch parties, but I just went to socialize 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:39.520 and drink. I never paid attention to who was actually 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:43.240 on the screen. So before as I was packing, like 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:46.679 I'm literally packing to go to La, I watched Bin's 0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:48.560 season and I got through like a couple of episodes, 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:50.280 and I remember I called the girls who signed me up, 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:52.800 and I was like, absolutely not. I had a house 0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:55.040 with these type of women. This is not for me. 0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:58.320 I hate this. But I'd already signed the contract and 0:07:58.360 --> 0:07:59.720 so I was like, all right, at this point, I 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:02.480 just have to go. I was pleasantly surprised. I love 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:05.239 the people that I was on the season with, um, 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:08.080 but I'm interested in how you guys prepared. Did you 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:11.160 watch someone's season? Did you maybe work out? You know, 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:14.560 I saw it, I met you. Can we talk about that? Yes? 0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:18.800 So I signed up. I probably was the end of January. 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:20.240 It was like, you're on the show. I don't know 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:22.559 right before you got casted as the league. I didn't 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:25.520 know she was going to be the bacherette, but I'm 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:27.600 in La. She was in La at the time. I'm 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:29.640 getting out of my car and I'm walking into the 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:31.600 gym and I look over and it's a girl like 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:33.960 a red band down on working out. I'm a hold up, 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:38.480 this can't be So I called my boy. I'm like, bro, 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:40.880 you're not gonna believe this. I think she's at my gym. 0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:43.000 He's like no, he's like, you have to say something. 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:45.360 I was like, this can't be real. It was like 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:47.280 the week of my birthday as well. It was crazy 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:49.959 right before I saw it the week later. But anyway, 0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:52.360 so I go out, I go in, I come back. 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:54.679 I was like, that's her. What's going on? What is 0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:57.120 the universe trying to tell me? So she came in. 0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:00.000 I said, uh, I was speaking to her as I knew. 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:02.040 I was like, right, I see you working hard. She's like, 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:04.440 I'm trying I give a file. I was like, I 0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:14.720 see you seen. She's like, I'm scared. I was like 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:19.440 and looked at But I've never told anybody because I 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:21.720 was scared, you know, like when you're when you're new. 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:24.360 I had already gone through the Bachelor, right, but as 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:26.520 the Bachelor rette, it's like, do I tell a producer 0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:28.800 that this guy I met this guy? I didn't want 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:30.880 you to get kicked off the season. So I just 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:32.560 was like, I don't know. So I kept it as 0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:34.760 a secret. So then when you eventually told a producer 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:37.280 they said, why didn't you say that you met Eric before? 0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:38.840 And I was like, I was just trying to like 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:42.000 not mess anything up or yeah, no, that was crazy. So, yeah, 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:44.600 you were at the gym working out before and then 0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:47.640 I saw you on A yea yea yeah. I was like, 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:50.160 what is this? Yeah, because at the time, you didn't 0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:52.000 know you were going to come on the show. Yeah. 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:54.360 So my season was the first season where they started 0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:57.400 bringing people out at Afar, So you got to meet 0:09:57.440 --> 0:09:59.600 some of your guys before you actually met them coming 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:01.880 out of the them that night. And this is crazy, 0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:03.840 and I truly was surprised. A lot of people were like, 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:05.920 did you know and I said no. They said we 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:07.920 have to take your phone away early. I was livid, 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:09.960 and they said, we just don't want you to know 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:12.199 what's about to happen.

Then I walk up to 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:35.480 where I talked to her for like two minutes and 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:38.000 I'm not making any sense, and I know I'm not 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:40.680 making any sense, and I could just feel myself get 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:44.000 like pale, and I'm like, this is this is just horrible. 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:46.319 So finally I'm like I forgot everything I was gonna say, 0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:48.920 and she's like after talking for two minutes, She's like what, 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:52.520 And I'm like, nice to meet you.

Then I walked in and I kind 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:02.240 of was like all right, and I stood there and 0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:04.600 got a bear and I tried talking to people, but 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:08.160 I just couldn't really groove with anyone. Yeah, first night, 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:10.160 it's tough. And then you got to Becca and he said, 0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:12.000 what's your biggest Then I got to be guy. I 0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:14.280 would have had the second conversation with Becca and I said, 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:17.360 what's your pet? Peas? And I couldn't believe I asked 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:19.760 that question and I didn't even have an answer for myself. 0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:23.360 She looked at me like I was crazy, And next 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:26.600 thing I knew, she was gone, and I was standing 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:30.120 there by myself, and I thought, I cannot believe I 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:34.719 agreed to come on this show. What is wrong with me? 0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:40.160 This is so embarrassing, And then I went home. I 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:41.719 would have thought that Joe would have been cute the 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:44.040 first night, because that nervousness. He's kind of like that 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:47.360 on Paradise the first day too, But I would say 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:49.280 that you were a little more suave on the first 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:51.440 day of Paradise because he went in for the kiss 0:13:53.400 --> 0:14:00.880 the first day. Well, Obrien, it was it was right 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:03.160 after I said, Oh, I'm so glad that no one's 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:06.480 trying to kiss me or not kiss me. No one's 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:08.280 trying to like make claims. Everyone kind of feeling it out. 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:09.360 And he's like, well, that's what I'm trying to do 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:15.280 right now. But Paradise. Paradise was different because Paradise you 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:19.440 could chill for your chilling and talking to everyone for 0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:22.680 like eight hours, you know, and then you're going for 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:26.160 the kiss. Spoilers like that in the bath re Bachelorette 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:28.800 where yeah, you had to make a move quickly before 0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:31.960 anybody else did. Correct, Kennel, how did you come out 0:14:32.000 --> 0:14:34.160 of the lima? Oh it, would you have a dead animal? No? 0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:35.960 I did not have an animal. I waited, I think 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:40.240 maybe day to bring it. I brought the first piece 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:42.160 of text for me. I brought was a pickled bat, 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:45.840 and so that a pickled bat, and then are named 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:50.520 her Victoria. Wow. Did we see that? Yeah? Okay, because 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:52.440 I was gonna say, I like, that's what I hope 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:55.160 that at friends Giving, we tell some behind the scenes 0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:57.080 things that people don't get. We have so many dead 0:14:57.120 --> 0:15:00.200 animals in our house. Okay, well I like to see 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:02.360 them as the art of nature, you know, the art 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:05.680 of nature preserved. We have many specimens. I love it 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:08.440 privage for Halloween by the way, No, yeah, it's And 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:11.560 Joe actually contributed to the collection. He got me a 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:14.280 badger that we've named beaver because I thought it was 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:18.440 a beaver. Well, we were at this tax that room 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:22.360 shop in Texas and I really wanted this badge because 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:24.360 I've always wanted a badge room my collection. And Joe 0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:27.280 is like, how much for the beaver and the tax terms? 0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:32.560 And I were like, he's actually a badge, So it's 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:35.720 the badger named beaver um. But yeah. So for the 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:38.520 first night, I was extremely me nervous. I was also 0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:41.000 very paranoid, and because you don't know going into it, 0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:43.320 I'm thinking I used to work behind the scenes in television, 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:46.080 and I was thinking where's the actors and all this stuff? 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:48.600 And I was fully on guard, praying for people to 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:50.600 mess with me. But it wasn't like that, like there 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:53.640 were there was no actors. It was very much so 0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:55.640 much more real than I expected it to be. And 0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:58.680 I think after I got an idea of um, oh 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:01.960 this is real. All these people are here, um and 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:04.680 they're real people. They're not you know, I don't like 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:07.400 a script or anything. That's when I let my guard down. 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:10.080 But it wasn't until like the first week until I 0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:12.880 was actually like realizing that was the case. But what'd 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:15.640 you say out of the limo? Didn't you sing a song? Oh? No? 0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:18.640 I sang. I sang Ari, a song that I had 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:22.760 written for him the second time we met. Okay, oh 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:24.520 not the well, like the second talk of the night. 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:27.600 I'm like, I don't know that they show that they did. 0:16:27.720 --> 0:16:31.400 I was, well, I was so nervous that I sang. 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:33.440 I mean, my voice wasn't that great. My voice isn't 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:36.800 great in general. But yeah, so I like had the 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:39.760 ukulele underneath the bench. We're sitting on the bench and 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:41.520 I was like, I got something for you whipped up 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:45.840 and I was like, whoa that. Yeah, I was just 0:16:46.440 --> 0:16:48.640 I think that's a bold move. You know it was 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:50.400 you didn't know how that was gonna go. No, And 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:53.440 I wrote the song the night before the day before. 0:16:55.200 --> 0:17:00.560 No one more costume than the first time he got 0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:02.880 a skin rash, that was all. Yeah. He was on 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:05.280 the sidelines for the first night. He was sitting on 0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:10.240 the side like we had a chickens too, chicken, yeah, 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:18.280 a chicken. We had this yeah cycle running him. Um no, 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:21.160 I see. I think when people wear a costume it's 0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:23.280 really daring. So it's like, you know, I got to 0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:24.840 give you an a for effort. And then with Matt 0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:27.800 breaking out in a full body rash, I couldn't send 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:33.240 him all to you and your rash get okay ta, 0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:34.879 how did you come out of? Well? Eric, I know, 0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:37.120 I'll let you give a chance to say, how you well? 0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:39.960 It was really simple and quick. I was nervous, purvous. Uh, 0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:41.920 it was frightening. I was in a limo with Dean 0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:45.680 and de Mario and I wasn't drinking. I was so nervous. 0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:47.320 I got the rachel. I don't know what I said. 0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:49.960 I think I said, why do I keep seeing you? Yeah? 0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:51.600 And I think that was it. Not just but we 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:54.480 had already met because of well the gym and then Afar, 0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:59.280 so it was like three times three times. So but 0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:01.600 it was cool, but nervous. I was the same way. 0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:04.480 I didn't have anything prepared. Coming out of Lamo, I 0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:06.359 just like walked out and I remember looking at him 0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:08.920 and I was like, what the heck am I doing here? 0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:10.720 And I completely blacked out and I was like, Hi, 0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:14.199 I'm nervous. I know nothing about you, but you have 0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:16.399 a big heart, so do I. And then I walked in. 0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:19.240 But then I had Tashia land inside, so that was fun. Yeah, 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:22.040 that's cute. I was like, what do I do? What 0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:23.480 do I do? So I just started coming up with 0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:26.000 lots of ideas and spin things out. All of a sudden, 0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:27.600 I was like, what if I do a magic trick? 0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:30.080 I don't know magic, but I'm gonna try and do one. 0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:32.119 And she was like what are you gonna do? I'm 0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:34.960 like I don't know, So I'm just like give me 0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:36.480 ideas and she's like, what if you do something because 0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:38.200 he's a virgin, and I'm like, shoot, I don't want 0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:39.560 to do this. I don't want to do this. But 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:43.280 I said pick a card, any card. He grabs a 0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:46.520 card and I'm like, hold on, like, just imagine what 0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:49.400 card that is? Like, like put it into the universe. 0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:51.560 I grab the card, I shuffled them up. I'm like, no, 0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:53.680 pick this card. And he's like, okay, I'm like, no, 0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:56.119 pick a card again. I grab it and I'm like 0:18:57.400 --> 0:18:58.840 I look at it, like I think I know what 0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:00.480 your card is. I'm like, I don't know what it was, 0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:02.240 but I think I just took your V card because 0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:07.760 I go, can I take that? I was like, I'm 0:19:07.800 --> 0:19:09.639 so lame. I'm not a nervous person, but I was 0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:11.960 nervous that night because I don't think what people get 0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:15.320 is you roll up to them. It happened so fast. 0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:18.320 You roll up to the mansion and then like whoever 0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:21.880 the lead is is just standing there and it's eerily quiet, 0:19:22.480 --> 0:19:24.439 and you think you're going to see all these cameras 0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:27.800 and they're kind of farther away than you, and the 0:19:27.800 --> 0:19:29.760 ground is wet, and you're like, oh, hey, my dress. 0:19:30.000 --> 0:19:31.719 You know, you guys don't have to worry about that, 0:19:31.960 --> 0:19:33.920 and it's just so scary, and you're like, this is 0:19:33.960 --> 0:19:36.680 it that there's no turning I remember thinking there's no 0:19:36.760 --> 0:19:40.040 turning back. This is it. Here you go. It's terrifying. 0:19:40.200 --> 0:19:42.800 I walked into the bathroom and stared at myself in 0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:47.280 the mirror and thought, there's no going back. I can't, Like, 0:19:47.280 --> 0:19:51.000 there's nothing I could do let me go back out there. 0:19:52.000 --> 0:19:54.600 You're like make your way back out all right times too. Yeah, 0:19:55.320 --> 0:19:58.520
