Speaker 5: Guys and I just want to see what his picture

00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 5: to not look good. Like it's like you'd have to

14
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 5: work at not looking good, where I would have to

15
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 5: work to look good.

16
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,400

36
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 7: four to seven, Like it's like a beautiful thing, and

00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 7: it's like, goddamn, I.

38
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 6: Really got to do like my skincare routine the night before.

39
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 3: You know, creation.

40
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 6: Michelle's the cat. Michelle is the catch, and that is

41
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 6: who you meet. Love it.

42
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 8: So she has a good friend and her friend has

43
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 8: a little brother who I know, and her friend's little

44
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 8: brother posta Michelle in his story and so I kind

45
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 8: of just hit him up a couple of times, like

46
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 8: hey man, when you get introduced me to Michelle and

47
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 8: then so we were texting, We started texting about it,

48
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 8: and then hit them up this one night and I

49
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 8: was like being really serious, like man, I'm really serious,

50
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 8: Like I don't think you're taking me seriously, Like I

51
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 8: really want to meet Michelle, like you know what I mean,

52
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 8: Like not like anything crazy, but I was like I

53
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 8: was joking, and I was like, man, I really want

54
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 8: to meet her, like she's beautiful, and he was like,

55
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 8: you know what, Actually, I think that'd be a good thing.

56
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 8: I think you guys would be like really cool and

57
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 8: like vibe together. And so the next night I met her.

58
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 6: But here's the catch though.

59
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 7: Here's the catch is that I had no idea any

60
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 7: of this was going on. And so I was with

61
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 7: said little brother and my friend and we were just

62
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 7: talking and we happened to like talk about being single,

63
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 7: and I said, I have no idea how I'm supposed

64
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 7: to meet anyone in Minnesota, Like my person is definitely

65
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 7: not in Minnesota at this point, Like I gotta fly,

66
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 7: I gotta start traveling more because it's they're.

67
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 3: Not on the apps.

68
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,399
Speaker 7: Yeah, I can like apps making me feel like I'm

69
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 7: going to be single forever. And so I asked, like,

70
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,679
Speaker 7: do you have any single friends, thinking that I knew

71
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 7: all of his friends, and he's like, actually, have I

72
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 7: ever talked you about Jack?

73
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 6: I'm Acou's Jack. And so he pulled up his Instagram profile.

74
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 7: Love the fact there were only five pictures, because I

75
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 7: myself got on Instagram only a few years ago and

76
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 7: I was he's really cute, and I actually started to blush,

77
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 7: and when my other friends called me out on it,

78
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 7: I'm like, I don't know why I'm bussing right now.

79
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 7: So the whole table we're sitting at like a Vikings

80
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 7: boot camp practice this event, and we're sitting there and

81
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 7: everyone's like, ah, like all this different stuff, and I

82
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 7: was like, well, he's a good person, Like he's good looking,

83
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 7: but like, is he a good person?

84
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 3: Let's start go, Let's go for that, right.

85
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 6: What's the catch?

86
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 7: What's wrong with him? I think he's what I asked.

87
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 7: He's like, no, I can't believe I hadn't introduced you.

88
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 7: So in my world I thought I brought it up

89
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 7: to this this person, and then he also did the

90
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 7: same thing.

91
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: It was like within like forty stars, I thought you

92
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 2: were saying that someone said to you he's interested.

93
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 6: In I happened to ask.

94
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 7: I happened to ask, and he slid it in so smoothly.

95
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 7: And I didn't know until we had been dating for

96
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 7: like two three weeks when we actually figured out that

97
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 7: we had asked about each other within like forty eight hours.

98
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 6: However it happened, it was really weird.

99
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 8: Yes, So the day that she saw my like my

100
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 8: profile when she was at the Vikings practice. We met

101
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 8: that night and so yeah, correct, then I think we

102
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,239
Speaker 8: spent the next four days together and then we were

103
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 8: just done.

104
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 6: We were dating by Sunday.

105
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 2: Do you live near each other? Like, could you have

106
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 2: ever crossed paths?

107
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 4: Okay, So there's a lot going on.

108
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 7: Have you heard about this the whole like invisible string

109
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 7: theory where a lot of times you're soulmate or the

110
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 7: person you end up with, you've been in the same

111
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 7: room multiple times, like you never but you have never

112
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 7: met up to that point. So we went through breakups

113
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 7: at the exact same time, like we both are going

114
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 7: through devastating breakups. We were both in the same stage

115
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 7: of our breakups as we were going through, like not

116
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 7: ready to meet somebody, thinking we're ready to meet somebody,

117
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 7: and then those few steps back and we had gone

118
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 7: like we go to all the same bars. Minnesota's not

119
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 7: that big.

120
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 3: The lake he grew up on.

121
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 7: My family fishes on that lake twenty four to seven.

122
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 7: So we're just in all these different areas. I went

123
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 7: to a football game that he was playing at and

124
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 7: hadn't even known back when I was like a teacher.

125
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 7: Oh my gosh, so all these weird situations.

126
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, I didn't grow up on a lake. The

127
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 6: lake was like down the street.

128
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 4: From friends were up playing there.

129
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 6: We played there.

130
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't have a boat. No, but yeah, it's crazy,

131
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 8: crazy that is. That's a beautiful story of the two

132
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 8: of you together. It's been really fun to watch the

133
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 8: two of you. And obviously Jack, I was telling you

134
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 8: last night. You know my wife came to a bachelor event.

135
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh jeez. It was Paradise wedding years ago for

136
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 3: my first time. And she has a lot of fun

137
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 3: at this stuff. She's got to know some of the

138
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 3: girls and really enjoys that part. But this isn't her thing.

139
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 5: Like she just kind of comes in, feels a little

140
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 5: intimidated at times, getting better at that, and sits back

141
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 5: and watches this whole madness go down. Uh, this was

142
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 5: your first like bachelor of.

143
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,799
Speaker 3: Would you what did you think? Like, what's your takeaway?

144
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 4: Now?

145
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,239
Speaker 5: When you guys wake up or when you start traveling

146
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 5: back home, you can be like, this was great, this

147
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 5: was awful. I never want to do this again, all

148
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 5: these things alone from the rest of your life. Just

149
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 5: break it down kind of your experience.

150
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 8: Last, absolutely, I think well, for I think Michelle kind

151
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 8: of prepared me pretty well for this. But like overall,

152
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 8: I think it was like it went really smooth. I

153
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 8: mean I didn't have any like it was really fun

154
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 8: you know, and it was.

155
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 3: It was a good vibe.

156
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 8: It was definitely different, like being around all the cameras

157
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 8: and like you know, like the TV commercial processes like

158
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 8: during the I was like very unnatural. But overall, no

159
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,000

202
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,040

203

Speaker 4: told to like the small moments, you know, right after

204

207
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,640
