I'm going to start it 39 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: off and be blunt and wild. Marissa, what happened with you? 40 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: And Riley? Tell us everything, because we know that you've 41 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: like shaded him a little bit on social and so 42 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: have your friends come on. I feel like it's been 43 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: kind of like shady. I have not been shady in 44 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:43,639 Speaker 1: any sort of way. Okay, wait what friend was recently 45 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: on and she was like, there was like a shady 46 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: caption that we read a couple of weeks ago. And 47 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: I don't mean shady, I mean like it alluded, Oh 48 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: I know what it was. You didn't interview, and you 49 00:02:54,240 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: alluded that some people, maybe your ex fiance included, weren't 50 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: really there in Paradise for love. And he said, it's 51 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: hard finding that out in the aftermath. I didn't say 52 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: that they weren't there for love. I think that it's 53 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: just like some like, being in the circumstances we were in, 54 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: it became reality like coming out of the show, you know, 55 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: like and sometimes who you meet on the show is 56 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 1: not who they are after the show, if that makes sense. Um, 57 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to shade in any way. Like I 58 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: everything we our whole relationship was legit of course, like 59 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: I loved him from the bottom of my heart. I'm 60 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: sure he loved me back. Um, but yeah, it just 61 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: it just didn't work out. There's no shade. I mean, 62 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's a difficult situation where yeah, the 63 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: reason this is so um so much on our minds. One, 64 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: we do have a question for you that we've been 65 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: asking for a year now about Bachelor Paradise, so we 66 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: can never figure out about you. That will come later 67 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: and our audience knows what that is. It's a good question, 68 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: but we're curious, um, and we've been waiting to ask you. 69 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: But the the reason this is such a big gil 70 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: to us is because we're such were we were and 71 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 1: are such big supporters of you. Um, it's really awesome 72 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: this year to watch you shine and to watch your 73 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 1: story unfold. You had a crazy story, Like that's what 74 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: we watch this show for is to see stories unfold. 75 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,119 Speaker 1: And from dating Connord and seeing Riley come down the beach, 76 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: it's like for us, we're very invested into you, and 77 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:38,919 Speaker 1: I think many are. This is all coming from a 78 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,679 Speaker 1: place of a lot of investments, invested as everyone else. 79 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: Like I was just as invested as everyone else. Um, 80 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:50,039 Speaker 1: clearly I there are things I would go about in 81 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: a different way, um knowing now, but yeah, it was 82 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: it was tough. I mean I was just invested as 83 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 1: invested I like, coming on the show, I had never 84 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: watched it, like watched any of the franchise or anything. 85 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: Goss at home the first night, you know. So me, 86 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, oh, this is like we're all gonna be 87 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: looking for love. We're all going here to find love, 88 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: you know. And for me, Um, I think with the 89 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: like with Riley and I relationship, how it started like 90 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 1: so unorthodox, like now I know, like I'm older, I'm overture, 91 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: now I've been here, like I know what I want 92 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 1: in a man, Like I think I was like unsure 93 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: like going into that that sense. When did you feel 94 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: like the first signs of it going south happened? Um? 95 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: I mean clearly you guys saw me on the beach 96 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 1: all the time, like breaking down, thinking he was not 97 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 1: as into me as I was him, Like I was 98 00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 1: all in so in love, um, from day on, you know, 99 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: And that's kind of where it started. Like the feeling 100 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: that I had there in Paradise was kind of the 101 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: feeling that just continued to go on. So, yes, I 102 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: get upset with myself. You knew it right then and there, 103 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: but you were just trying to like work through the 104 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,479 Speaker 1: circumstances and thinking like, oh, you're kind of being a 105 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 1: little nuts, like he's so into you, especially when you 106 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: see it on TV, like he's not into anyone else 107 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: doing anything, you know, and for me, the feeling still 108 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: carried over throughout our whole relationship. Understand I uh, it's understandable. 109 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: I mean I can relate. You. You're on the show 110 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 1: and it's romantic, and there's people in your ears, and 111 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: there's friends in your ears telling you exactly, you know, hey, 112 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: this is a good thing. No, like, don't worry, You're 113 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: just you're stressed out, and then exactly, and it's like 114 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 1: so weird. It's like you can't these are people you're 115 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: just meeting, right, And especially for me because I was 116 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 1: in the franchise but not really in like baster Nation 117 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,359 Speaker 1: hanging out with everyone had a lot of friends, you know, 118 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: so it's like, how can you really like listen to 119 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: what these people are? Like you take their advice and everything, right, 120 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: but then you carry on to the real world. Now 121 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: it's like you don't want to listen to your real 122 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: your friends outside of the show, because they have no 123 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: idea what we just went through, you know what I mean. 124 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: And then being there with people that you're just meeting, 125 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: but at the time like they're like your best friends, 126 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: you know, because who else are you going to be 127 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: able to talk to and they're gassing you up, like, 128 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: oh no, he's so into you.

I was more upset that he 168 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: goes at home I'm like, my therapist has gone, Ah, 169 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 1: could there be a possible romance between you and Ivan? 170 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: I think Ivan I was a a friend. Actually I 171 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: know I'm a friend. So no, that's too bad. But 172 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 1: maybe that's the only reason why we don't have to 173 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: have her answer to that. Yeah, without giggles, that are 174 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: all we need. Now, Um, you know you your time 175 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 1: obviously on the Bachelor with sure you go to Paradise, 176 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: things happen. What advice now, uh, do you have looking 177 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: back on your time? Now? There you just said you 178 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: know you're questioning things in the beach. Um you weren't 179 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 1: listening to your gut or you didn't listen to your 180 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: gut necessarily because it was hard to it was confusing to. 181 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 1: So if if there's a future contestant listening to this podcast, 182 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: what advice would you give them? While if they were 183 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: in that same situation, I would say, um, just stick 184 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: to your gut, like, stay true to your gut. If 185 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 1: you feel something, it's probably for a reason, absolutely, And 186 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: I know what you want. Well, knowing what you want 187 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: going into it is different than knowing what you deserve 188 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,559 Speaker 1: and what you need. Um, if that makes sense, because 189 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: you can want something so bad, like like my shiny 190 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: quarter and penny reference. It's like you can know that 191 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: you want something, but it might not be what you 192 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: need and what you deserve. Mhm yeah, Like make sure 193 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 1: you know going into it the questions to ask the 194 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,719 Speaker 1: relationship you want to be in, um, the future that 195 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 1: you want, like make sure you're compatible like with your 196 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: with how you want to raise kids, how you want 197 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: to have family, things like that, where you want to live. Um. 198 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: I made the mistake by trying to sacrifice everything going 199 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: into it for love. But I mean I don't think 200 00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: it was really a sacrifice. I mean, when you're in 201 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 1: that's what you do, you know, So honestly, I don't know. 202 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: I'm still questioning it myself. Where are you living? I 203 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 1: live in Atlanta right now? Well back, okay were you 204 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: Did you have any attentions on moving before? Did you move? 205 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:21,079 Speaker 1: I didn't, yep, I moved to New York. Um. We 206 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: were living together for a little bit. Mm hmm. So 207 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: are you dating at all? Now? Again? I mean, so 208 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: going into the show, I clearly want love. I want marriage, 209 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 1: I want babies, like that's all that That's what I 210 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 1: want to do. And so now recently I know, I 211 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 1: haven't been on a day before. I did go on 212 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:48,839 Speaker 1: a date a few weeks ago. I mean, I'm still 213 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: trying to go on dates.

And I do 235 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 1: believe that it actually works, you know, I do believe it. 236 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: It's just it takes two to tango, you know. You see, 237 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 1: you see a lot of success stories too, from Bachelor 238 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: in Paradise where somebody went on, had a very serious relationship, 239 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: kind of learned more about what they were wanting, and 240 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: then come back on and find somebody that becomes their partner. 241 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: Which leads me to, um, this question, what are you 242 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: looking for? Now? You've mentioned a couple of times that 243 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: you know what you're looking for. You you've at least 244 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: learned some things that you're looking for that maybe you 245 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: didn't have before. What are those things? Yeah? I mean 246 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: I'm looking for, you know, someone that knows what they want, um, 247 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: and doesn't just say it. They know what they want, 248 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: they want to they're very ambitious, um, someone that wants 249 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: the same things I want. And it's just it's just 250 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: it's so I guess, like when you know, you know, 251 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: like them, I know the right questions to ask, you know, 252 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: Like I know not to just fall in love with 253 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: somebody right away that says, oh, you're pretty, you know, 254 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 1: and I want to take you on a date. And 255 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: that's kind of like the mistake I made before. I 256 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 1: feel like I was just so ready for love that 257 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: I would like, I would take anything at that point, 258 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 1: you know. And now I've found myself. I've done a 259 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: lot of like help, I've been through therapy, a lot 260 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 1: of things like that, and I just know my worth 261 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: and myself now, because at first, I feel like I 262 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: was kind of going down like to make this person 263 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: happy rather than um meeting or like making each other grow. 264 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: You know. God, yeah, that sounds like what Telling more 265 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 1: On said to me and Bachelor in Paradise my first season, 266 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 1: she said, she Tenley Tenley moles On. She said something 267 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: along the line, and she calls it a whimsical attachment. Um, 268 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 1: it's somebody that you needed to meet to create a 269 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 1: stepping stone on the path to finding the right person. 270 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 1: That's exactly That's exactly what it's like. And I don't 271 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: regret anything at all. Um. I learned so much, not 272 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 1: only like just about life, but about myself, you know, 273 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: being able to do this and go through that experience. 274 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: And we did jump into everything like fairly quickly. But 275 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: it's because I knew what I wanted, Like from day one, 276 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 1: I said, I want to get married, I want to 277 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 1: have kids. I want to let you know that's what 278 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: you do when you're engaged, when you get married. Yeah, yeah, 279 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: did you at all? Um? You just said that you 280 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 1: when you know, you know, did you feel like you 281 00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: know you know with Riley or did you feel more 282 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: like it was there was that hesitation because you did 283 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: say that you had that insecurity. So maybe like what 284 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: you're looking for in the next relationship would be like 285 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 1: no insecurities exactly. Yeah, absolutely, no insecurities. And I knew, 286 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 1: like I knew how I felt is a thing like 287 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: and I was completely authentic, genuine throughout the whole thing. 288 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,119 Speaker 1: And that's why I think I tried so hard, even 289 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: though my gut feeling was always there, you know, Like 290 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 1: That's why I was like, no, there's other things going on. 291 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,880 Speaker 1: It's not me, like I'm overthinking all that stuff. Um. 292 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: And then essentially I think we just both realized that 293 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: it's this isn't it. And I think we both realized 294 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: it a lot sooner than we finally just walked. We 295 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 1: both tried like we really tried. How does it feel now? 296 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: How are you doing now? We haven't got to that. 297 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 1: I mean, we've talked about you getting back out in 298 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,400 Speaker 1: the dating world. We've talked about you not going home, 299 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: we talked about you even potentially going back on Paradise, 300 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: but we haven't exactly asked you the question how are 301 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: you now? I am doing great, honestly, like better than ever. Um. 302 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 1: The last couple of months were very, very tough. It 303 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 1: took a lot of friends, family, self like realization, UM, 304 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: self care, a lot of that. I've been going to 305 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 1: church doing things like that. Um, but I feel great, 306 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 1: Like the fact that I even went on a date. 307 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, you're you're getting out there. It's good. 308 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 1: Off and get back in it's important. Yeah, exactly, but great, happy, 309 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 1: better than I've ever been.

It's 319 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 1: like the whole generation thinks of it one way, but 320 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 1: it's really something totally different, like the Barren stay In Bears, 321 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 1: like we've always but it's like, really the Barren Stein Bears, 322 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: but we've always said stand Barren Staying Bears, but it's 323 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: really Barren.

Because Ben and I swear 326 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 1: that we saw it on a preeview, like we both 327 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 1: saw it individually. We came here, yeah, and we talked 328 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 1: about it, and nobody else seems to have brought it 329 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,360 Speaker 1: up except for us, but we both swear we saw 330 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: it with both of our eyes individually. I think I 331 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: know exactly where you're talking about because my family asked 332 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 1: me the same thing and gone on them because I'm like, 333 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: if you don't know who I am like that, I think, 334 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: are you sure it wasn't Justen? No? It looked because 335 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 1: she was already gone. I think at this point, I 336 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:20,679 Speaker 1: think unless they pulled an old clip yeah and brought 337 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 1: her in. Okay, so unless they brought her on, it 338 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 1: was like maybe a three second of somebody's back and 339 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: some guy sitting like you couldn't see who either of 340 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: them really were, but you were left just Sina was gone. 341 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: But that would make sense, That would make sense they 342 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 1: put Joe Senia in there, But we wouldn't have even 343 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 1: thought it would have been Joe Senna because she had 344 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 1: already gone home. Yeah, I think that might be. But 345 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: because she we both do the slip bag little mine 346 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:53,639 Speaker 1: or the curly hair. We were the two with the 347 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:58,400 Speaker 1: curly hair going all the time. Uh, you've answered it. Yeah. 348 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 1: The only other person I made out was was Connor 349 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: and I know that. Yeah, yeah, I know that. Yeah, 350 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: we all know that. Actually Connor was fun. Connor is 351 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:19,879 Speaker 1: a great guy. Yeah.

Hey, Ashley, 370 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,159 Speaker 1: here's the first headline. It's just a good headline to 371 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 1: start out with. I think because we've been talking about 372 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:42,160 Speaker 1: a lot. Bachelorette's Ryan center is in much better place 373 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: two years into health battle. I'm on the right path, 374 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:49,399 Speaker 1: he says, I remember when we broke this story. In fact, 375 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 1: his wife Trista is hosting a podcast kind of underneath 376 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 1: the almost famous uh umbrella, So you guys got to 377 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: go check that out. It's a great podcast. They do 378 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: a great job together, incredible chemistry. Up. Anyways, back to 379 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 1: her husband, Actually, he's feeling better two years into health battle. 380 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:08,120 Speaker 1: What's going on? So happy that he's feeling better because 381 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:09,919 Speaker 1: we remember when it was a mystery and now we 382 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 1: know that he has lime disease, which can be so 383 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 1: awful and it can be tricky to diagnose. So he says, 384 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,160 Speaker 1: it's been about two years since I started to feel sick. 385 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,119 Speaker 1: I reflect on a journey that has challenged my life 386 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: and those in it in ways that I don't suppose 387 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,880 Speaker 1: i'd ever imagine. He says that he gets so many 388 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:37,160 Speaker 1: questions and um sentiments of support, people you know, diagnosing him, opinions, 389 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 1: and while he's found ways that are starting to help him, 390 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:46,360 Speaker 1: he says that with lime disease, every journey is uniquely personal. 391 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,439 Speaker 1: No paths are the same, So while he would like 392 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 1: to provide advice, he hesitates to do so. Um. He 393 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: said that he feels happy and excited about how he's 394 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 1: been improving, and as appropriate it, he will continue to 395 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:05,679 Speaker 1: share his story and encourage others to find ways to 396 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: make them feel better. We're really excited about that. And um, 397 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 1: you know, my buddy had lime disease originally Brandon before. 398 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: As we talked about last week, a ls A lot 399 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: of people have their strong opinions on what you should 400 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 1: be doing when you have lime disease, and it's sometimes 401 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 1: really helpful, sometimes really overwhelming, And so I totally get 402 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 1: what he's saying, just from the outside looking in. It's 403 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 1: good to hear Ryan and it's doing better. Um Again, 404 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 1: make sure you listen to his wife talk on Formerly 405 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 1: Famous Underneath the Almost Famous Umbrella Well. Michelle Young reveals 406 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,360 Speaker 1: it was awkward running into her ex Matt James with 407 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: their new partners. So Michelle was with Nate and Matt 408 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 1: was with Rachel at the final four March Madness game 409 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: in Minnesota, and she said on the Happy Hour podcast, 410 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,640 Speaker 1: she said, it was unexpected to run into them. You know, 411 00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 1: when you expect to run into one of your actus 412 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 1: at some point, it's inevitable that after you break up 413 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 1: down the line, you can run into them. I always 414 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,119 Speaker 1: knew that there would come a time when Matt and 415 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: I would cross paths again, you know, obviously because of 416 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 1: the bachelor community, not not that you always have to 417 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 1: run into your ex's she said. Rachel and I also 418 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: still catch up sometimes so you aren't completely disconnected. But 419 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,919 Speaker 1: I was really surprised when we ran into them in Minnesota. 420 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 1: That is the last place I thought we bumped into them. Um, 421 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: we've been in New York, in l A and so 422 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,920 Speaker 1: much that we'd think that we, you know, find meet 423 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,440 Speaker 1: up with them then. But it would call me off 424 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,719 Speaker 1: guard to see them in Minnesota. That doesn't seem too 425 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 1: weird to me because of the event going on. But 426 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 1: of course not up to me to call whatever surprising surprising. 427 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,439 Speaker 1: But but as far as was it was awkward or not, 428 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 1: she said, it wasn't awkward. She said they were all laughing, 429 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 1: it was fun, and Nate gets along with everyone, so 430 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 1: it wasn't awkward or anything like that. Well it, uh, 431 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: you know, I just don't When I saw that picture 432 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: of them altogether, I was like, I can't be that awkward, right, 433 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it's just it's it's Bachelor Nation. We 434 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: all run into each other at some point. Uh. Well, 435 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:11,479 Speaker 1: really really cool story here.

Well, 437 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,479 Speaker 1: I thought it was an engagement photo, so I got 438 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 1: a little confused. I think they're just really sweet photos. Right, Yeah, 439 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 1: they're just really cute photos. I definitely was looking at 440 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,679 Speaker 1: the caption looking for a ring, but it's just the 441 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 1: two of them on the beach. Very totally, very kissy. 442 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,360 Speaker 1: Abigail wrote that Noah is the butter to her toast, 443 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 1: and I feel like they're gonna be engagement in their 444 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:44,399 Speaker 1: future within the next year.

They like, absolutely shocked. 446 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 1: They I mean, we had them on the podcast and 447 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: they just seem to get it. They seem to be 448 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 1: so in love with each other. It feels like they're 449 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 1: comfortable with each other. I don't know, it's just it's 450 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,400 Speaker 1: one of those couples that you're like, yeah, think they're 451 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 1: like perfect for each other.

Um, Serena jes 455 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,680 Speaker 1: moved to New York and it seems like they're going 456 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,399 Speaker 1: to be living there together. But Joe is going to 457 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 1: keep his place in Chicago too, because he says, I'll 458 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: be going back and forth between here in Chicago, but 459 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: he's always wanted to live in New York City. So 460 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 1: this is the time they're happy about happy about it. 461 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 1: He says that it will make things easier. Travel has 462 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,400 Speaker 1: been kind of part of their lives since the beginning 463 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 1: of their engagement, UM and part of their careers in 464 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 1: their relationship. But they are excited to be in one 465 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,240 Speaker 1: place together, and they're just they're excited about the fun 466 00:27:56,359 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 1: to be had. I you know, tell me if I'm 467 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 1: crazy here, Ashley, but wasn't. One of kindle in Joe's 468 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,679 Speaker 1: biggest disagreements is he didn't want to leave Chicago, and 469 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,359 Speaker 1: so I think, oh my god. So I feel like 470 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 1: this is like a good sign for their relationship that 471 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: he's saying, no leave Chicago for you girl. Oh wow, No, 472 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 1: do you disagree with that? Don on me? No, no, no, no, 473 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:23,879 Speaker 1: I bet you. He feels like there's a little bit 474 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 1: of a difference between l A and New York. I mean, 475 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,640 Speaker 1: New York is a lot closer to Chicago than Chicago 476 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,679 Speaker 1: is to l A. And it does sound like he's 477 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 1: gonna be bouncing back and forth. I don't think that 478 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: he's thinking that New York is going to be his 479 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 1: permanent home with with Kendall l A. She wanted to 480 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 1: be their permanent home forever, like she was never going 481 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 1: to move because that's where her family was. So maybe 482 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: this is just like a temporary, fun sort of short stint. 483 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 1: But that being said, I feel like usually, you know, 484 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,479 Speaker 1: if it's the person, If the person is the person, 485 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 1: you will go anywhere for them. I totally understand that, 486 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 1: And I think one of the best things to judge 487 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 1: where you're at in relationship is to try to make 488 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 1: a big decision together and uh, and see how both 489 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 1: of you are feeling.
