WEBVTT - Curses and Chemistry with Katelyn

0:00:02.000 --> 0:00:05.080
<v Speaker 1>Hey, everyone, welcome back to Bachelor Happy Hour. I'm Joe,

0:00:05.200 --> 0:00:10.840
<v Speaker 1>and we are here with Caitlin. Caitlin the radio chemist

0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:15.320
<v Speaker 1>from Joey season. Because that's such an interesting, cool job,

0:00:15.480 --> 0:00:17.680
<v Speaker 1>and I think you may be the first radio chemist

0:00:17.720 --> 0:00:18.560
<v Speaker 1>ever on the Bachelor.

0:00:19.640 --> 0:00:22.400
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it is a pretty rare profession, so I wouldn't

0:00:22.440 --> 0:00:23.160
<v Speaker 2>be surprised.

0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:32.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, what can you explain? For for dummies? How do you? Yeah,

0:00:32.120 --> 0:00:36.080
<v Speaker 1>how how would you explain what you do? So?

0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:40.080
<v Speaker 2>I can't go into too much detail, but breadio chemistry

0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:45.080
<v Speaker 2>as profession is when you separate out octimize or radio

0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:49.400
<v Speaker 2>newclides from a given substance and determined how much is

0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:51.320
<v Speaker 2>in there. I told you that.

0:00:51.560 --> 0:00:54.120
<v Speaker 1>I told you that. Go ahead, you guess.

0:00:54.560 --> 0:01:00.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean I knew that, sure, Joe, Okay.

0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:03.320
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, I don't know if I can say much more,

0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:07.880
<v Speaker 2>but that's pretty much like the gift of it, Yes,

0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:11.560
<v Speaker 2>just just just the gist of it.

0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:14.760
<v Speaker 4>So how did you end up in this career then?

0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:17.319
<v Speaker 3>Because I've imagined you didn't grow up being like I

0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:19.640
<v Speaker 3>just want to be a radio chemist.

0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:24.840
<v Speaker 2>No, So I've always been really good at like stam math, chemistry,

0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:28.200
<v Speaker 2>all those things, and so going into college like obviously

0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:29.920
<v Speaker 2>you want to do something you're good at. It's just

0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:32.520
<v Speaker 2>like I do a human nature. So I decided to

0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:37.280
<v Speaker 2>study chemistry and then really my focus in undergrad was

0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:39.679
<v Speaker 2>inorganic chemistry, like I did a lot of work with

0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:45.080
<v Speaker 2>like Lanthani complex structures and just like material sciences. And

0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:48.320
<v Speaker 2>so I graduated in May of twenty twenty, which was

0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:52.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, like when COVID hit all of the research

0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:55.400
<v Speaker 2>facilities that I applied to, they had withdrawn applications because

0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:58.480
<v Speaker 2>they just didn't have the funds. And so I just

0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:02.360
<v Speaker 2>took like a quick little break. And basically my old

0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:05.680
<v Speaker 2>lab mate in one of my classes had been like, hey,

0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:08.640
<v Speaker 2>what if you joined my lab? And I was like, huh,

0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:10.280
<v Speaker 2>I like looked it up. I'm like, oh man, this

0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:14.520
<v Speaker 2>is prestigious. I should really look into this. And so honestly,

0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:16.320
<v Speaker 2>it kind of just like fell into my lap in

0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:19.600
<v Speaker 2>a way. And now I find like a lot of

0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:22.240
<v Speaker 2>fun in radio chemistry, like I find a lot of interest.

0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:25.680
<v Speaker 2>But it was never my intent to go into radio chemistry.

0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:30.200
<v Speaker 1>Gotcha, where are you from?

0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:33.799
<v Speaker 2>So I grew up in Texas, but I went to

0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:35.720
<v Speaker 2>college in Austin, Okay.

0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:36.360
<v Speaker 1>What's school?

0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:38.560
<v Speaker 2>The University of Texas.

0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:41.480
<v Speaker 4>And then do you think, because you're saying, is that.

0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:43.080
<v Speaker 1>The only that might be the only college there?

0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:45.240
<v Speaker 2>Like, no, there's there's a bunch that was.

0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:52.760
<v Speaker 3>Sorry Joe into the College of Grocery Stores and the

0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:58.839
<v Speaker 3>water tracks. So different career history. But so you said

0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:00.760
<v Speaker 3>you kind of fell into radio chemis astray. That wasn't

0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:03.480
<v Speaker 3>always the intention or the goal. Do you think you'll

0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:06.799
<v Speaker 3>stay in that career path or do you have other

0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:08.080
<v Speaker 3>avenues that you want to explore.

0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:13.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so, I'm currently applying to master's programs for medical

0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:17.440
<v Speaker 2>physics and medical dysymmetry. I've been doing interviews so hopefully

0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:21.520
<v Speaker 2>they go well. So I'm looking into staying in radiation.

0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:24.120
<v Speaker 2>But just like in a different avenue, I would.

0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Say, and where are you currently? Where do you live now?

0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Are you still in Texas?

0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:31.720
<v Speaker 2>No, so, I live in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I

0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:33.120
<v Speaker 2>moved here for my job.

0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:36.880
<v Speaker 1>Actually, okay, oh cool, cool, I've been. I've been. I've

0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:38.320
<v Speaker 1>been the Santa Fe once.

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:39.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah really yeah.

0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's a cool little city.

0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:45.200
<v Speaker 2>Right, It's amazing. It has so much culture and one

0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:47.560
<v Speaker 2>thing I love about Santa Fe is you can make

0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:50.360
<v Speaker 2>friends anywhere. Like I moved there and only knowing one person,

0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:52.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean friends in like a coffee shop at a bar,

0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:55.040
<v Speaker 2>and I still talk to them to this day. So

0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:57.440
<v Speaker 2>it's just like one of those like neat little cities

0:03:57.440 --> 0:03:58.920
<v Speaker 2>where everyone's just so sociable.

0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:00.560
<v Speaker 4>I love it crazy.

0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:02.560
<v Speaker 3>I feel like that's so rare, Like I feel like

0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:04.880
<v Speaker 3>that's the opposite of what most people say when they

0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:06.680
<v Speaker 3>move to a new city, is like, oh it's so

0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:07.880
<v Speaker 3>hard to like meet new people.

0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:11.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I never really felt that. I just like, I mean,

0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:14.640
<v Speaker 2>during COVID it was hard, so I waited until like

0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:17.839
<v Speaker 2>restrictions lifted, but I ended up meeting like a great

0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:18.480
<v Speaker 2>friends there.

0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:21.600
<v Speaker 3>Do you think it's a it's more that you are

0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:23.800
<v Speaker 3>like an extroverted social person, or do you think there's

0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:25.480
<v Speaker 3>just like a strong sense of community there.

0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:28.480
<v Speaker 2>I think there's a strong sense of community there. I'm

0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:33.440
<v Speaker 2>definitely not extraverted. I would say maybe more so in

0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:37.000
<v Speaker 2>the past now, But I've never been really like the

0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:39.320
<v Speaker 2>one to be like. I never liked a lot of

0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:42.720
<v Speaker 2>attention on myself or anything like that. So I feel

0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:45.600
<v Speaker 2>like it's just when you're in such a small community

0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:48.640
<v Speaker 2>scan I face only like eighty thousand people, and most

0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:50.960
<v Speaker 2>of them are like retired folk. So when you see

0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:54.839
<v Speaker 2>someone under like thirty five, you're like, oh my god.

0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:56.119
<v Speaker 4>How are you?

0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:59.680
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's like I know everyone within at least

0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:02.760
<v Speaker 2>like one degree separation that's under thirty five in Santa Fe.

0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:06.039
<v Speaker 4>I was in Hilton Head.

0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:09.040
<v Speaker 3>I was living there for like three four months with

0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:12.240
<v Speaker 3>a friend of mine after university, and we were there

0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:15.240
<v Speaker 3>from September to December, which is not the summer months.

0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:18.560
<v Speaker 3>So like everyone that's young when was our age that

0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:21.680
<v Speaker 3>was back away going to school, and I remember we

0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:24.120
<v Speaker 3>were like, we're the youngest people on this island, Like

0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:27.159
<v Speaker 3>we need to find like hunt down some people that

0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:28.080
<v Speaker 3>are our age.

0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:32.760
<v Speaker 1>Make sure you ask Alan about New Mexico. Just shut

0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:39.720
<v Speaker 1>your notes, Okay, So to find out whatever that. What

0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:43.960
<v Speaker 1>was dating life like for you before before going on

0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:45.240
<v Speaker 1>the Bachelor?

0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:51.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? So not good. Dating in Santa Fe was pretty

0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:54.839
<v Speaker 2>hard for me. I would say I just felt like

0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:58.680
<v Speaker 2>there weren't like again, the population of people is just

0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:02.919
<v Speaker 2>so small, and then the single people are even smaller,

0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:06.400
<v Speaker 2>and like, I don't know, it was just so difficult

0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:09.839
<v Speaker 2>to find anyone that I could date. And then out

0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:13.239
<v Speaker 2>of those people, it wasn't like anything ever truly clicked,

0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:17.040
<v Speaker 2>Like I never felt butterflies or anything, or like I

0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:19.800
<v Speaker 2>never could get past like the fourth date, Like it

0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:21.160
<v Speaker 2>just couldn't happen for.

0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:23.240
<v Speaker 1>Me, you trust?

0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:25.960
<v Speaker 3>Do you think though, Like I feel like if there's

0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:28.320
<v Speaker 3>only so many people under thirty five, like after a while,

0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:30.720
<v Speaker 3>you must have been like I've dated everyone in this freaking city.

0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:35.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh for sure. And also you also have to like

0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:37.880
<v Speaker 2>get rid of, like subtract all the people that your

0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:39.680
<v Speaker 2>friends have gone out with too, so it's like it

0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:43.960
<v Speaker 2>gets even smaller and smaller. And yeah, there's come a

0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:46.760
<v Speaker 2>point where I just like quit dating, like maybe like

0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:49.000
<v Speaker 2>a couple months before the show, I was like, or

0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:50.599
<v Speaker 2>a couple of months before I applied to be on

0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:53.560
<v Speaker 2>the show. Rather, I was like, m m, this.

0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:53.920
<v Speaker 4>Is it for me?

0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:54.919
<v Speaker 2>I guess No.

0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:57.479
<v Speaker 3>I have friends that are like single and on that

0:06:57.600 --> 0:06:59.880
<v Speaker 3>dating grind and they're like it starts off fun, and

0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:02.000
<v Speaker 3>after a while you just get dating fatigue and you're like,

0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:03.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm deleting all the apps for a few months and

0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:06.599
<v Speaker 3>taking a break, like I cannot go on another first date.

0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:08.800
<v Speaker 2>It gets exhausting.

0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:11.480
<v Speaker 1>Were you buying into your family curse of like everyone's

0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:13.960
<v Speaker 1>single and maybe it's just not for me?

0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:18.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, I feel like our curse is more of a

0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:21.640
<v Speaker 2>nice thing to blame our problems on. It's not like

0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:25.920
<v Speaker 2>we necessarily like believe it. But and also I feel

0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:28.520
<v Speaker 2>like my my mom and my aunts they're just so

0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:32.720
<v Speaker 2>independent that they just like or they've felt love and

0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:35.160
<v Speaker 2>they just like haven't felt that again, you know what

0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:39.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean. So it's more like not giving into something

0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:43.360
<v Speaker 2>that you know you're not worth like not worthy of

0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:45.520
<v Speaker 2>that's not the right word, but you know what I mean.

0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:47.400
<v Speaker 2>It's like you don't want to go into something when

0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:48.960
<v Speaker 2>you know it's not the one for you.

0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:49.760
<v Speaker 1>You don't want to send.

0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:52.720
<v Speaker 2>You don't want to settle. I don't want to settle.

0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:55.200
<v Speaker 2>And it took me like a while to realize that.

0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:59.840
<v Speaker 2>Like you know, in earlier years, I definitely fell into

0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:01.360
<v Speaker 2>relationships way too quickly.

0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:04.640
<v Speaker 1>So and obviously there was a part of you that

0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:06.600
<v Speaker 1>that was kidding when you were talking about it on

0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:09.760
<v Speaker 1>the show. But when you when your mom and your

0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:12.520
<v Speaker 1>aunts watched it back, what did they What did they say?

0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:16.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, Well, I mean they were just they

0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:18.800
<v Speaker 2>thought it was so funny. They were like, I cannot

0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:21.640
<v Speaker 2>believe they aired this. I was like convinced that they

0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:24.200
<v Speaker 2>were going to add like editing on it with like

0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:27.160
<v Speaker 2>voodoo lights and little orbs or something. I was so

0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:30.160
<v Speaker 2>convinced we're going to do that. But yeah, I mean

0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:32.200
<v Speaker 2>they were prepared for the worst. I was like, guys,

0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:35.520
<v Speaker 2>like sorry, like I did mention you, but you know,

0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:38.680
<v Speaker 2>we talked about the curse all the time and they're

0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:42.079
<v Speaker 2>such like lighthearted and fun people, so they didn't care

0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:42.400
<v Speaker 2>at all.

0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:44.480
<v Speaker 4>That's good. That's so fun.

0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:47.959
<v Speaker 3>So then dating life was not it. How did you

0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:49.360
<v Speaker 3>end up on the Bachelor?

0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:51.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh.

0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:57.480
<v Speaker 2>So my best friend nominated me on the Bachelor, and

0:08:57.480 --> 0:08:59.880
<v Speaker 2>then I was like, whys can you believe it? Like

0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:02.240
<v Speaker 2>nomine me to be on the Bachelor, and then a

0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:03.800
<v Speaker 2>lot of my friends did it all of a sudden.

0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:06.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, gosh, shit, I should just like nominate myself.

0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:09.840
<v Speaker 2>And so it was just kind of like my friend

0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:13.280
<v Speaker 2>saw that, like I just gone on another day and

0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:15.720
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't working, and she was like, you need to

0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:19.880
<v Speaker 2>go where they have pre vetted someone and you know

0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:21.080
<v Speaker 2>that they're going to be a good person.

0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:22.160
<v Speaker 1>You always say that.

0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:25.800
<v Speaker 3>I do because as women, like if you meet a

0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:27.559
<v Speaker 3>guy at a bar where you don't have like a

0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:30.400
<v Speaker 3>mutual friend like with them or something like that. You're like,

0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:33.040
<v Speaker 3>you're not pre vetted, Like you could be totally crazy,

0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:35.520
<v Speaker 3>you could be a scumbag, and it's gonna take me

0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:37.280
<v Speaker 3>a decent amount of time, like at least for four

0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:40.040
<v Speaker 3>dates to figure that out for myself. Whereas when you

0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:43.000
<v Speaker 3>go on The Bachelor or like Bachelor in Paradise or

0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:45.520
<v Speaker 3>any of these shows, it's like, Okay, sure, like someone

0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:47.200
<v Speaker 3>could still kind of be a scumbag, I guess, but

0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:48.200
<v Speaker 3>it's like they're pre vetted.

0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:49.440
<v Speaker 4>You know, they're not crazy.

0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:52.040
<v Speaker 3>You know they're like emotionally available, you know they're genuinely

0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:55.480
<v Speaker 3>looking for a relationship. Sorry to just take over, Caitlin,

0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:58.640
<v Speaker 3>but I always say like there's a for women.

0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:00.120
<v Speaker 4>I feel like it's a big thing, be like this

0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:01.440
<v Speaker 4>guy's pre vetted.

0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:05.079
<v Speaker 2>No exactly, and especially the part where they're looking for

0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:07.760
<v Speaker 2>a relationship. I feel like a lot of guys pretend

0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:09.319
<v Speaker 2>that they are and I'm like, oh, I really like you,

0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:11.120
<v Speaker 2>and they're like, well, I'm not ready for anything yet,

0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:12.079
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like, well.

0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:20.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, so let's know we're back in ch acause

0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:24.679
<v Speaker 1>I feel so Caitlyn Serena really needs to do this,

0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:28.280
<v Speaker 1>like in chronological order, these interviews. So when I jumped

0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:31.240
<v Speaker 1>ahead and asked about your your bob and your aunt,

0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:33.880
<v Speaker 1>I could just feel I could feel the anxiety in

0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:34.400
<v Speaker 1>the room.

0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:37.160
<v Speaker 4>Oh, just like a linear thinker.

0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:46.520
<v Speaker 1>So okay, so you get on, So you get on,

0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:50.280
<v Speaker 1>and what are your thoughts? Did you know Joey was

0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:52.000
<v Speaker 1>going to be the Bachelor? What were your thoughts when

0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:53.200
<v Speaker 1>you found out it was going to be him?

0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:56.000
<v Speaker 2>So I had no idea it was going to be

0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:59.080
<v Speaker 2>him until, you know, when they announced him on TV,

0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:01.440
<v Speaker 2>and I was like so psyched, Like me and my

0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:04.800
<v Speaker 2>friends were like doing dances all around the kitchen because

0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:08.560
<v Speaker 2>in all honesty, like obviously like I want to find

0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:10.720
<v Speaker 2>this my person, and I want to go on the

0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:14.480
<v Speaker 2>show for someone that's like vetted and I know they

0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:17.800
<v Speaker 2>have the same goals in mind. But at the same time,

0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:19.880
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't really willing to go on for someone that

0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:22.360
<v Speaker 2>I knew I couldn't be interested in or you know,

0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:25.520
<v Speaker 2>wasn't attracted to. And so when I saw it was Joey,

0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:29.640
<v Speaker 2>and he's just like the most amazing, nice, sweet person

0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:32.800
<v Speaker 2>I've ever met with, like golden retriever energy, which is

0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:35.280
<v Speaker 2>like definitely my type. I was just so psyched and

0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:37.120
<v Speaker 2>that's when I was like really locked in, and that's

0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:39.480
<v Speaker 2>when I told my work. I was like, hey, guys,

0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:41.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm like piece it out for a little bit.

0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:43.800
<v Speaker 4>That's awesome.

0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:45.880
<v Speaker 3>No, I feel like a lot of the women from

0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:48.120
<v Speaker 3>your season were super happy to find out it was

0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:52.520
<v Speaker 3>Joey for sure. Yeah, so you get on the show

0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:56.320
<v Speaker 3>it's Night one. Can you tell us about the dress

0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:57.880
<v Speaker 3>that you wore, because I feel like it was like

0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:02.640
<v Speaker 3>super memorable and fall but like definitely a unique silhouette

0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:05.400
<v Speaker 3>compared to what we usually see for like Night one gowns,

0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:07.080
<v Speaker 3>Like how did you find it?

0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:08.520
<v Speaker 4>Where's it from? How'd you pick it?

0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:13.240
<v Speaker 2>So I'm half Vietnamese, so that's like my culture and

0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:15.760
<v Speaker 2>I mostly grew up with my mom, who immigrated here

0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:19.840
<v Speaker 2>when she was seventeen or eighteen, and so I've always

0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:22.520
<v Speaker 2>warned what that dress is called an auii and it's

0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:25.559
<v Speaker 2>just like our traditional dress in Vietnam, and we normally

0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:27.920
<v Speaker 2>wear it for like formal occasions and in the past,

0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:30.160
<v Speaker 2>they like worked to school and like teachers wear it,

0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:34.720
<v Speaker 2>so it's like very common in Vietnam. And you know,

0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:37.320
<v Speaker 2>this was like a formal occasion. To me, I was like,

0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:40.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to meet someone tonight that could I could

0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:43.240
<v Speaker 2>potentially be engaged too. I want him to know my

0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:46.160
<v Speaker 2>culture and like see it on me, even if we

0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:49.000
<v Speaker 2>don't have like a conversation about it. It's just like,

0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:52.360
<v Speaker 2>are you willing to accept something that's like a little

0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:56.520
<v Speaker 2>different than just like, you know, the normal like promisque dresses,

0:12:56.640 --> 0:13:00.000
<v Speaker 2>which obviously I wear in the future as well. But yeah,

0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:02.440
<v Speaker 2>so it's called an ALII And the whole point is

0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:06.400
<v Speaker 2>to be completely modest, So you're covered all the head

0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:08.880
<v Speaker 2>to toe and we have like pants underneath, so there's

0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:12.079
<v Speaker 2>like a slit. The whole point is like femininity can

0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:15.160
<v Speaker 2>still be seen through modesty.

0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:19.280
<v Speaker 4>I'm obsessed. That's amazing. It was beautiful.

0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:22.959
<v Speaker 3>It looked amazing on you, And I just think that's

0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:26.960
<v Speaker 3>such a great way to incorporate something special about you

0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:30.000
<v Speaker 3>and your culture because you just never know how much

0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:31.640
<v Speaker 3>time you're going to get with the lead and just

0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:33.400
<v Speaker 3>to be like, hey, this is me and I'm going

0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:35.040
<v Speaker 3>to like tell you about it, but I'm also going

0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:37.000
<v Speaker 3>to show you a part of who I am as well.

0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:38.840
<v Speaker 1>Is really spec what a cool story too, Like if

0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:40.680
<v Speaker 1>you ask me, like what I wore A Yeah, so

0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:45.280
<v Speaker 1>where'd you get I got out of this store. That's

0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:49.040
<v Speaker 1>about the extent. So okay, So how about the other

0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:52.319
<v Speaker 1>women in the house? Any who are you friends with?

0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:55.320
<v Speaker 1>Who are you kind of like don't like this person?

0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:01.640
<v Speaker 2>So in my limo was kelsey A, and I just

0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:04.560
<v Speaker 2>like immediately became really good friends with her. She is

0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:09.160
<v Speaker 2>such a wonderful energy, and she wasn't nervous at all too,

0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:11.719
<v Speaker 2>which is why I think I like gravitated towards her

0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:14.800
<v Speaker 2>that first night, because I was like obscenely nervous, like

0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:17.560
<v Speaker 2>I'd never been that nervous in my whole life. Like

0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:20.160
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't even like keep down a cookie and I

0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:22.280
<v Speaker 2>love cookies. Like that was like unheard of me.

0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:24.200
<v Speaker 1>What's your favorite cookie? Oh?

0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:25.480
<v Speaker 2>My god, peanut butter.

0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:31.440
<v Speaker 1>Peanut butter cookies, Matt, I love peanut butter cookies. We

0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:33.920
<v Speaker 1>don't have peanut butter cookies in the house because Serena

0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:37.000
<v Speaker 1>is allergic to nuts. But I do, I do love

0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:38.000
<v Speaker 1>a peanut butter cookie.

0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:42.680
<v Speaker 4>I know, I know, I'm just a burden. I'n just diet.

0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:47.320
<v Speaker 1>Well. I mean, also, I haven't really been eating peanut

0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:51.360
<v Speaker 1>butter that much because supposedly there's like a ton of

0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:53.080
<v Speaker 1>mold in peanut Butter.

0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:54.360
<v Speaker 4>I know, have you seen this?

0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:58.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, I know, So you're welcome. Actually I'm saving

0:14:58.720 --> 0:14:59.160
<v Speaker 3>your life.

0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Well I'm sure once it gets heated, like it goes away.

0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:04.080
<v Speaker 1>But I don't know you're the radio chemist.

0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:11.120
<v Speaker 3>I don't think there's a cross over there, joists.

0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:14.280
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so okay, So Kelsey Kelsey A.

0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:17.040
<v Speaker 4>And I think we've seen that.

0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:19.360
<v Speaker 3>Like in the last episode on the group day, we

0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:21.840
<v Speaker 3>see you guys like kind of confiding in each other

0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:26.040
<v Speaker 3>about the difficulty of that specific group day, and just

0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:28.120
<v Speaker 3>like I feel like clips if I always see you

0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:29.520
<v Speaker 3>guys like sitting together and stuff.

0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:33.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we were definitely close. And then I got close

0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:36.200
<v Speaker 2>with Daisy. And I didn't know this the first night

0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:39.400
<v Speaker 2>about her cochlear implant, but I was just getting like

0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:42.080
<v Speaker 2>so overwhelmeding in like a room like so many people.

0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:44.800
<v Speaker 2>I kept like finding places that were quiet and like

0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:48.000
<v Speaker 2>lone pold Das was there, which like makes sense like

0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:51.880
<v Speaker 2>the day after when I found that out. But yeah,

0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:53.840
<v Speaker 2>I became close with her because we were just like

0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:56.600
<v Speaker 2>talking about like how overwhelming. I was like, can you

0:15:56.640 --> 0:16:00.440
<v Speaker 2>believe we're here? You know, that sort of conversation. And

0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:02.840
<v Speaker 2>then honestly, I didn't get to talk to everyone night

0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:04.440
<v Speaker 2>one just because I feel like I was so in

0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:08.280
<v Speaker 2>my own head that I didn't really feel like I

0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:10.040
<v Speaker 2>got bad vibes from any one night one.

0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:12.480
<v Speaker 1>How do you how about like now like mid season,

0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:13.880
<v Speaker 1>anyone give you bad vibes?

0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:16.920
<v Speaker 3>Well, let's be a little more specific with it, because

0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:20.080
<v Speaker 3>there's definitely we've seen a lot of drama in the house.

0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:21.960
<v Speaker 3>We haven't seen you involved in any of it, obviously,

0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:25.800
<v Speaker 3>but you were there. I'm sure you have your opinions

0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:29.680
<v Speaker 3>on it. The main it seems like there's like kind

0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:31.720
<v Speaker 3>of two sides and then like a middle ground. We've

0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:37.280
<v Speaker 3>got like Maria and then we've got Sidney, Lea and Jess.

0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:42.640
<v Speaker 3>Do you feel like you were close with any of

0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:44.280
<v Speaker 3>these girls? Where do you think you kind of like

0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:46.000
<v Speaker 3>fell in the mix of the drama?

0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:49.520
<v Speaker 2>Right, So, I would say it for the drama itself,

0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:54.440
<v Speaker 2>I was definitely more neutral. Like I have spoken with

0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:56.320
<v Speaker 2>Maria and I've said this time and time again. She

0:16:56.400 --> 0:17:00.560
<v Speaker 2>does have like such a positive energy and she never

0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:04.320
<v Speaker 2>puts people down, but her conflict style is like way

0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:06.199
<v Speaker 2>more aggressive than I think a lot of the other

0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:10.119
<v Speaker 2>girls are. And then I'm really close with Lea like

0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:13.000
<v Speaker 2>we were roommates in the hotels in Malta, and I

0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:16.200
<v Speaker 2>love Jess. We were like our little like bees together,

0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:21.800
<v Speaker 2>so we were always like close, but neither of them

0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:24.080
<v Speaker 2>held it against me that you know, I was friends

0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:27.000
<v Speaker 2>with the other. Like neither one encouraged to like need

0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:29.560
<v Speaker 2>a talk shit or anything like that. I feel like

0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:32.919
<v Speaker 2>both the girls, like have both sets of girls to

0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:37.680
<v Speaker 2>have such positive light around them that it's like disappointing

0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:40.239
<v Speaker 2>that it went this way. But I can't understand it.

0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:42.560
<v Speaker 2>Like people have different conflict styles, So.

0:17:43.080 --> 0:17:44.120
<v Speaker 4>What do you think it was?

0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:47.120
<v Speaker 3>Because I totally agree, like it does seem like there's

0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:50.760
<v Speaker 3>conflict and like, yeah, different ways, even like with Sydney

0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:53.440
<v Speaker 3>and Maria, Like they definitely are different in the way

0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:56.000
<v Speaker 3>like they communicate and their conflict styles. What do you

0:17:56.000 --> 0:17:59.320
<v Speaker 3>think it was that was sparking this conflict because it

0:17:59.359 --> 0:18:02.800
<v Speaker 3>does be like there's like on a personal level tension

0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:03.720
<v Speaker 3>between these girls.

0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:08.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's I don't even know because I remember I

0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:11.200
<v Speaker 2>just come in from talking with Joey that night and

0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:14.479
<v Speaker 2>I walked in and I was like, something's amiss, Like

0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:18.640
<v Speaker 2>I missed something. I don't know what's going on, but yeah,

0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:24.200
<v Speaker 2>I think it's maybe more just like insisting that, like

0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:27.840
<v Speaker 2>Marie was insisting, like who asked? Who told you this?

0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:30.720
<v Speaker 2>Like who told you this? And then Sydney was very

0:18:30.720 --> 0:18:34.440
<v Speaker 2>insistent as well, like well this isn't cool like whatever.

0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:37.959
<v Speaker 2>So and so, I don't know, it was just a

0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:40.000
<v Speaker 2>lot for me. And I'm definitely like more of like

0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:42.960
<v Speaker 2>a hands off sort of person like and be like, oh,

0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:46.439
<v Speaker 2>we can disagree and that's okay with me. So I

0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:48.520
<v Speaker 2>don't know. It was hard for me to understand.

0:18:48.119 --> 0:18:51.119
<v Speaker 1>Too, oh the same way, like we could disagree and

0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:56.320
<v Speaker 1>we get still be friends. Yeah, okay, So let's let's

0:18:56.359 --> 0:19:01.000
<v Speaker 1>fast forward to present time in the show, and you

0:19:01.160 --> 0:19:04.200
<v Speaker 1>are one of the women that are on this group date,

0:19:04.800 --> 0:19:13.720
<v Speaker 1>which is you guys play hockey. Something happens before the.

0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:13.399
<v Speaker 2>Dancing and stuff.

0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:15.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, there was a saying, oh yeah, we forgot

0:19:15.720 --> 0:19:19.200
<v Speaker 3>about the singing dancing moment. This gavenger Head group date

0:19:20.160 --> 0:19:22.399
<v Speaker 3>was a lot. What were your thoughts on it?

0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:25.280
<v Speaker 1>Again, because we do see you catch you pull Joey

0:19:25.280 --> 0:19:28.080
<v Speaker 1>to the side, and you are you struggled a little

0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:28.439
<v Speaker 1>with the date.

0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:30.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but you're definitely not the only one.

0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:31.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:19:31.680 --> 0:19:34.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So I feel like going into this group date,

0:19:34.440 --> 0:19:37.199
<v Speaker 2>I was already putting like a lot of pressure, I

0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:40.640
<v Speaker 2>guess in Montreal because I knew it was only one

0:19:40.680 --> 0:19:43.000
<v Speaker 2>more week and then hometowns. So I guess in my

0:19:43.119 --> 0:19:46.120
<v Speaker 2>head it was immediately like, if I don't get on

0:19:46.119 --> 0:19:49.000
<v Speaker 2>one on one this week, I don't think I'm gonna

0:19:49.040 --> 0:19:50.960
<v Speaker 2>make it, Like, to be honest, like, I don't think

0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:54.600
<v Speaker 2>neither of us will have enough time to make sure

0:19:54.600 --> 0:19:56.399
<v Speaker 2>that I'm ready for him to meet my family and

0:19:56.400 --> 0:19:59.080
<v Speaker 2>he's ready to meet my family. So I initially put

0:19:59.080 --> 0:20:02.120
<v Speaker 2>a lot of pressure on my going into Montreal, and

0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:06.040
<v Speaker 2>then Joey doubled down and staid, like, this is very important.

0:20:06.080 --> 0:20:08.879
<v Speaker 2>We had like a pretty somber tone, I feel like

0:20:09.400 --> 0:20:12.320
<v Speaker 2>to the start of it. And then obviously I found

0:20:12.320 --> 0:20:15.760
<v Speaker 2>out that I'm not getting a one on one. I'm

0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:19.639
<v Speaker 2>on this group date. So yeah, I had like a

0:20:19.680 --> 0:20:23.760
<v Speaker 2>hard time with this group date, mostly because this felt

0:20:23.840 --> 0:20:26.640
<v Speaker 2>like a date that you would kind of do just

0:20:26.880 --> 0:20:29.119
<v Speaker 2>with one person, Like it didn't feel like, you know,

0:20:29.160 --> 0:20:30.240
<v Speaker 2>the other dates were so.

0:20:30.359 --> 0:20:34.800
<v Speaker 4>Like yeah in a group Yeah, it felt like this structure.

0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:36.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it felt like the structure of this group date

0:20:36.920 --> 0:20:40.679
<v Speaker 3>was not cohesive to a group date, if that makes sense.

0:20:40.760 --> 0:20:45.320
<v Speaker 3>Like it felt really challenging for him to get around

0:20:45.480 --> 0:20:47.480
<v Speaker 3>to everyone, Like it feels like it's something you do

0:20:47.520 --> 0:20:49.639
<v Speaker 3>with a group of friends, or you would do it

0:20:49.680 --> 0:20:52.040
<v Speaker 3>with just one other person, like.

0:20:51.960 --> 0:20:55.080
<v Speaker 2>A sidewalk can only fit Joey plus one other girl,

0:20:55.600 --> 0:20:58.639
<v Speaker 2>and then anytime you were that girl, you're like love me,

0:20:59.760 --> 0:21:00.240
<v Speaker 2>Like I.

0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:03.320
<v Speaker 3>Just like I also feel like on the like a date,

0:21:03.359 --> 0:21:05.439
<v Speaker 3>I would have gotten discouraged and been like I'm not

0:21:05.560 --> 0:21:07.399
<v Speaker 3>fighting my way up to the front, Like I'm just

0:21:07.400 --> 0:21:08.880
<v Speaker 3>gonna hang in the back and be annoyed.

0:21:09.080 --> 0:21:12.320
<v Speaker 2>Probably that's definitely what I was like. And I'm also

0:21:12.520 --> 0:21:15.000
<v Speaker 2>definitely more of a passive person, Like I'm not someone

0:21:15.040 --> 0:21:17.320
<v Speaker 2>who's gonna like throw an elbow to get to talk

0:21:17.359 --> 0:21:22.640
<v Speaker 2>to someone all friends. Yeah, I'm like, I'm not interested

0:21:22.640 --> 0:21:25.199
<v Speaker 2>in like throwing anyone under the bus, but also I

0:21:25.240 --> 0:21:28.320
<v Speaker 2>want someone else to like make a move and like

0:21:28.440 --> 0:21:31.600
<v Speaker 2>show that you're interested and in that group. Date was

0:21:31.600 --> 0:21:33.720
<v Speaker 2>hard because I don't I didn't felt like he did

0:21:33.760 --> 0:21:37.040
<v Speaker 2>that with really anyone. And I know it's probably because

0:21:37.119 --> 0:21:38.800
<v Speaker 2>like everyone was coming up to him and try to

0:21:38.840 --> 0:21:41.439
<v Speaker 2>take his time, but it would have been nice to

0:21:41.480 --> 0:21:43.120
<v Speaker 2>have like that validation throughout the date.

0:21:44.320 --> 0:21:49.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, totally, No, it was a hard date to watch,

0:21:49.200 --> 0:21:51.679
<v Speaker 3>just knowing how probably hard it was to be on

0:21:51.920 --> 0:21:55.160
<v Speaker 3>that date. Like, I really empathize with you guys and

0:21:55.320 --> 0:21:58.159
<v Speaker 3>Joey because it was just a difficult dynamic. Was there

0:21:58.200 --> 0:22:01.800
<v Speaker 3>anyone that you felt like was really like you explained that,

0:22:01.880 --> 0:22:04.560
<v Speaker 3>you feel like you're more passive, as like someone who

0:22:04.600 --> 0:22:06.480
<v Speaker 3>didn't want to be like pushing their way to the front.

0:22:07.000 --> 0:22:08.680
<v Speaker 3>Was there anyone on the date that you felt was

0:22:08.720 --> 0:22:10.919
<v Speaker 3>doing that, not even in like a negative way, but

0:22:10.960 --> 0:22:13.520
<v Speaker 3>that was maybe just more their style really going for it.

0:22:13.840 --> 0:22:18.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I feel like Jen is definitely like that sort

0:22:18.560 --> 0:22:21.000
<v Speaker 2>of person, and I commend her for it, Like I

0:22:21.040 --> 0:22:23.640
<v Speaker 2>wish I was like that. She's definitely like a very

0:22:23.640 --> 0:22:26.199
<v Speaker 2>confident person and would always like go to Joey and

0:22:26.280 --> 0:22:28.240
<v Speaker 2>like shown little things and point out things. I'm like,

0:22:28.280 --> 0:22:30.280
<v Speaker 2>oh man, I wish I could do that. At point,

0:22:30.440 --> 0:22:35.040
<v Speaker 2>Tommy wasn't mad at me because I was so anxious. Yeah,

0:22:35.080 --> 0:22:38.800
<v Speaker 2>I feel like Jen really like shows her best self,

0:22:38.840 --> 0:22:41.440
<v Speaker 2>like on camera and in front of a lot of people,

0:22:41.480 --> 0:22:43.760
<v Speaker 2>and she's not afraid to show herself, which is really cool.

0:22:50.480 --> 0:22:53.080
<v Speaker 3>So then you have your conversation. We see you and

0:22:53.160 --> 0:22:56.159
<v Speaker 3>kelsey A have a little chat and just kind of

0:22:56.320 --> 0:22:57.960
<v Speaker 3>you guys are talking about how you're both struggling on

0:22:58.000 --> 0:23:00.760
<v Speaker 3>the date, and then we see you talk to Joey

0:23:00.840 --> 0:23:03.320
<v Speaker 3>that night and you just kind of open up about

0:23:03.800 --> 0:23:04.680
<v Speaker 3>like how it was hard.

0:23:05.640 --> 0:23:06.800
<v Speaker 4>How did that conversation go?

0:23:09.160 --> 0:23:12.880
<v Speaker 2>You know, I guess it went okay. I would say,

0:23:12.920 --> 0:23:15.760
<v Speaker 2>I I think we have like an honest conversation, which

0:23:15.800 --> 0:23:19.120
<v Speaker 2>is always good. It did leave me with like kind

0:23:19.160 --> 0:23:22.720
<v Speaker 2>of a sinking feeling, though, just because I felt like

0:23:22.800 --> 0:23:26.679
<v Speaker 2>we both kind of agreed that, you know, it just

0:23:26.720 --> 0:23:28.960
<v Speaker 2>like it wasn't going at the pace that we needed

0:23:29.000 --> 0:23:31.440
<v Speaker 2>to go. Like, we never had a one on one

0:23:31.520 --> 0:23:36.920
<v Speaker 2>and I never really pushed myself so hard or like

0:23:36.960 --> 0:23:39.040
<v Speaker 2>got out of my head enough during these group dates

0:23:39.040 --> 0:23:43.119
<v Speaker 2>to really like make myself seen. So that was like

0:23:43.119 --> 0:23:45.879
<v Speaker 2>a really difficult conversation to have, I feel like, and

0:23:45.960 --> 0:23:48.320
<v Speaker 2>just to be like open about because I'm not used

0:23:48.359 --> 0:23:51.680
<v Speaker 2>to like having to fight for a guy. And then

0:23:51.920 --> 0:23:55.240
<v Speaker 2>also just to be vulnerable in front of someone I

0:23:55.280 --> 0:23:58.320
<v Speaker 2>haven't known that long, in in front of cameras too,

0:23:58.320 --> 0:23:59.160
<v Speaker 2>that's so scary.

0:24:00.040 --> 0:24:00.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it is scary.

0:24:02.480 --> 0:24:04.760
<v Speaker 3>So you left that kind of with the sinking feeling.

0:24:04.880 --> 0:24:06.800
<v Speaker 3>Was there a part of you that was wondering if

0:24:06.960 --> 0:24:08.240
<v Speaker 3>you might be going home that week.

0:24:08.760 --> 0:24:11.960
<v Speaker 2>I felt almost positive I was going home that week, sadly,

0:24:12.600 --> 0:24:14.800
<v Speaker 2>just because I hadn't had that one open time, and

0:24:14.840 --> 0:24:19.120
<v Speaker 2>then my time with Joey was really spent talking about

0:24:19.160 --> 0:24:21.560
<v Speaker 2>how I wish I had time versus like, you know,

0:24:21.640 --> 0:24:24.960
<v Speaker 2>furthering your relationship. So yeah, I didn't feel too great

0:24:25.000 --> 0:24:25.440
<v Speaker 2>about it.

0:24:26.600 --> 0:24:30.080
<v Speaker 3>I feel like, though, and tell me, tell me if

0:24:30.119 --> 0:24:34.200
<v Speaker 3>you disagree, but do you feel like it was kind

0:24:34.240 --> 0:24:37.639
<v Speaker 3>of like, how do I want to phrase this? Like,

0:24:37.680 --> 0:24:40.320
<v Speaker 3>were you in any way a little bit grateful that

0:24:40.359 --> 0:24:42.920
<v Speaker 3>he was kind of honest with you in that conversation

0:24:43.160 --> 0:24:45.760
<v Speaker 3>about where your relationship was at versus just being like

0:24:46.480 --> 0:24:48.760
<v Speaker 3>dumping a bunch of reassurance on you in that moment

0:24:49.240 --> 0:24:52.480
<v Speaker 3>to leave the conversation feeling a lot better at the time,

0:24:52.520 --> 0:24:54.240
<v Speaker 3>but then not getting rows with the row ceremony.

0:24:57.080 --> 0:25:00.480
<v Speaker 2>I really appreciated his honesty, and I feel like me

0:25:00.600 --> 0:25:03.800
<v Speaker 2>not getting a rose later or like leaving later in

0:25:03.840 --> 0:25:06.320
<v Speaker 2>the week would have been so much tougher on me.

0:25:06.560 --> 0:25:09.200
<v Speaker 2>If I felt like he had said, like, oh, we're

0:25:09.200 --> 0:25:11.840
<v Speaker 2>like totally there, like don't worry about it, like I'm

0:25:11.880 --> 0:25:14.520
<v Speaker 2>so confident about you, Like that would have made me

0:25:14.680 --> 0:25:18.240
<v Speaker 2>feel sorry, like a different way about it. So I'm

0:25:18.240 --> 0:25:21.040
<v Speaker 2>really glad that he was honest with me, as I

0:25:21.119 --> 0:25:22.080
<v Speaker 2>was honest with him too.

0:25:22.400 --> 0:25:27.679
<v Speaker 3>Was there any girls that you were surprised when they

0:25:27.680 --> 0:25:30.320
<v Speaker 3>went home or maybe are surprised that they were still there,

0:25:30.320 --> 0:25:32.640
<v Speaker 3>like I didn't realize like they had such a strong connection.

0:25:34.320 --> 0:25:37.920
<v Speaker 2>No. I feel like the six girls that were left

0:25:37.960 --> 0:25:41.120
<v Speaker 2>after Leye and I left, I felt like they had

0:25:41.119 --> 0:25:44.200
<v Speaker 2>a strong connection. Like I was, like I was having

0:25:44.240 --> 0:25:45.880
<v Speaker 2>a hard time even in my head, like who would

0:25:45.920 --> 0:25:47.720
<v Speaker 2>even be going to hometowns? Like I had no idea

0:25:47.840 --> 0:25:51.640
<v Speaker 2>who he was going to cut. But I was surprised

0:25:51.680 --> 0:25:54.800
<v Speaker 2>that Lexi left because I thought they had a strong connection.

0:25:55.000 --> 0:25:57.480
<v Speaker 2>But you know, we like talked about like her timeline

0:25:57.520 --> 0:25:58.960
<v Speaker 2>and stuff like that, so it made sense.

0:25:59.359 --> 0:25:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:26:00.240 --> 0:26:03.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Well I just want to ask, you know, if

0:26:04.000 --> 0:26:07.480
<v Speaker 3>you feel comfortable sharing if not, no problem, because I

0:26:07.520 --> 0:26:09.160
<v Speaker 3>know it's a bit of a personal question for Lexi.

0:26:09.200 --> 0:26:12.240
<v Speaker 3>But she we never got to see what her timeline

0:26:12.600 --> 0:26:14.440
<v Speaker 3>that she was kind of looking for. Did she ever

0:26:14.840 --> 0:26:17.080
<v Speaker 3>speak with you guys about that. I know that Joey

0:26:17.160 --> 0:26:19.280
<v Speaker 3>articulated his is she just kind of looking for a

0:26:19.359 --> 0:26:21.960
<v Speaker 3>more like rapid pace? Because I know she just said

0:26:22.000 --> 0:26:24.159
<v Speaker 3>like they don't align was kind of the messaging we

0:26:24.200 --> 0:26:25.320
<v Speaker 3>got as viewers.

0:26:25.840 --> 0:26:29.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so I know Joey mentioned that he wants like

0:26:29.240 --> 0:26:34.000
<v Speaker 2>a longer engagement and like a longer marriage before having kids,

0:26:34.080 --> 0:26:37.040
<v Speaker 2>and I just don't think that Lexi has that in mind.

0:26:37.600 --> 0:26:39.480
<v Speaker 2>I think she knows exactly what she wants and I

0:26:39.600 --> 0:26:43.479
<v Speaker 2>applot her for it. So yeah, I think she just

0:26:43.520 --> 0:26:46.720
<v Speaker 2>wants like a shorter timeframe to have her kids sooner,

0:26:47.280 --> 0:26:50.080
<v Speaker 2>just because of her health issues and stuff like that.

0:26:50.240 --> 0:26:52.879
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, really, which absolutely makes sense.

0:26:53.119 --> 0:26:56.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, makes sense to get into it. Let's play a game. Game.

0:26:57.000 --> 0:27:00.240
<v Speaker 1>A question though, is if we we're gonna have game.

0:27:00.400 --> 0:27:04.000
<v Speaker 1>It's a lot of fun. If if you were to

0:27:04.000 --> 0:27:06.800
<v Speaker 1>get if they did a Bachelor in Paradise and they

0:27:06.840 --> 0:27:09.480
<v Speaker 1>asked you to go, would you hell?

0:27:09.600 --> 0:27:11.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? I mean, look, you guys came out of that.

0:27:12.640 --> 0:27:15.680
<v Speaker 2>I would love to find my person, even if it's

0:27:15.680 --> 0:27:21.200
<v Speaker 2>through something unconventional like paradise. Yeah, I think it would

0:27:21.200 --> 0:27:22.800
<v Speaker 2>be really fun. I don't know if I'd look forward

0:27:22.840 --> 0:27:24.280
<v Speaker 2>to like sweating that much, but.

0:27:29.680 --> 0:27:33.040
<v Speaker 3>It like it like varies every season, Like I feel

0:27:33.040 --> 0:27:37.600
<v Speaker 3>like every year it's different. Our season was crazy hot,

0:27:37.760 --> 0:27:39.960
<v Speaker 3>we had tear and like we had storms and stuff,

0:27:40.359 --> 0:27:43.000
<v Speaker 3>but then we didn't have any bugs because it was

0:27:43.000 --> 0:27:46.000
<v Speaker 3>so hot, whereas then the following two years I heard

0:27:46.040 --> 0:27:48.000
<v Speaker 3>that it wasn't that like last year. I think it

0:27:48.080 --> 0:27:51.840
<v Speaker 3>like wasn't that hot at all, but it was crazy buggy.

0:27:51.920 --> 0:27:55.200
<v Speaker 3>So it's like pick your poison, I know.

0:27:56.880 --> 0:28:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh, also, you have to tell all coming up anything

0:28:00.119 --> 0:28:01.119
<v Speaker 1>you're excited about.

0:28:01.280 --> 0:28:03.600
<v Speaker 2>For that, I don't even know if I'm excited. I'm

0:28:03.640 --> 0:28:07.880
<v Speaker 2>just like nervous because I know, like with everything airing,

0:28:08.000 --> 0:28:12.600
<v Speaker 2>like emotions have been arising again and bubbling up. So

0:28:13.320 --> 0:28:17.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm just like nervous to see the conflict again because

0:28:17.480 --> 0:28:20.840
<v Speaker 2>like being there in person, it's just so overwhelming. It's

0:28:20.880 --> 0:28:25.679
<v Speaker 2>just like really really loud arg and it can just

0:28:25.720 --> 0:28:29.480
<v Speaker 2>get to be a lot. I really am excited though,

0:28:29.520 --> 0:28:32.360
<v Speaker 2>for both girls to like get to share more of

0:28:32.520 --> 0:28:35.479
<v Speaker 2>their story and like why they felt that way, because

0:28:36.240 --> 0:28:38.560
<v Speaker 2>I feel like the show obviously like we have so

0:28:38.680 --> 0:28:42.800
<v Speaker 2>much to show or sorry, we have so much that

0:28:42.840 --> 0:28:45.680
<v Speaker 2>we have filmed, but not a lot can be shown,

0:28:46.200 --> 0:28:48.200
<v Speaker 2>and so I feel like it's a good time for

0:28:48.240 --> 0:28:50.280
<v Speaker 2>the girls to have like that full hour to like

0:28:51.080 --> 0:28:54.160
<v Speaker 2>really talk about it and get to the bottom of

0:28:54.200 --> 0:28:57.000
<v Speaker 2>things and hopefully everyone can be friends after this.

0:28:56.960 --> 0:28:59.360
<v Speaker 1>So well, hopefully they don't take up the whole hour

0:28:59.440 --> 0:29:01.600
<v Speaker 1>because I don't know.

0:29:01.640 --> 0:29:04.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure to know what happens. I'm sure they're going

0:29:04.120 --> 0:29:06.360
<v Speaker 3>to take up a good portion of it. But yeah,

0:29:06.400 --> 0:29:08.680
<v Speaker 3>I think the towel is always a great time to

0:29:08.720 --> 0:29:12.400
<v Speaker 3>get more insight into like more details about the drama,

0:29:12.840 --> 0:29:16.280
<v Speaker 3>maybe things that weren't shown, and just more context for

0:29:16.280 --> 0:29:19.800
<v Speaker 3>the viewers and sometimes an opportunity for reconciliation. If Sydney

0:29:19.880 --> 0:29:22.760
<v Speaker 3>Mario Walkerway's friends, I'll literally be floored.

0:29:22.600 --> 0:29:24.560
<v Speaker 4>But you never know, anything could happen.

0:29:25.320 --> 0:29:28.720
<v Speaker 2>I'd be so shocked, but I do hope it happened,

0:29:29.320 --> 0:29:32.200
<v Speaker 2>or at least all the other girls in a want too.

0:29:32.680 --> 0:29:37.440
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, rapid fire, rapid fire, it comes. Yeah, I'll

0:29:37.480 --> 0:29:39.520
<v Speaker 1>do it, Okay, first thing that comes to your head.

0:29:39.680 --> 0:29:43.320
<v Speaker 4>Just they're all just like easy, fun questions about you,

0:29:43.680 --> 0:29:44.520
<v Speaker 4>No need to stress.

0:29:45.920 --> 0:29:47.800
<v Speaker 1>Sneakers or heels for a night out.

0:29:48.480 --> 0:29:50.440
<v Speaker 2>Sneakers, I'm five to ten, dude.

0:29:50.560 --> 0:29:53.440
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah you're tall? Wait were you taller than Joey?

0:29:54.480 --> 0:29:57.480
<v Speaker 2>No? Actually, when I wore my heels and he wore his,

0:29:57.680 --> 0:30:01.440
<v Speaker 2>like I don't know, like loafers like this equated to

0:30:01.560 --> 0:30:03.320
<v Speaker 2>like the he was fairly taller.

0:30:03.480 --> 0:30:08.400
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, Kelsey a seems tall too, right, mm hmm, she's.

0:30:08.320 --> 0:30:10.320
<v Speaker 2>Just in shorter than me. I also think that's why

0:30:10.320 --> 0:30:11.600
<v Speaker 2>we got a long because we got to share some

0:30:11.640 --> 0:30:12.640
<v Speaker 2>many clothes and shoes.

0:30:13.920 --> 0:30:17.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I feel like you Kelsey and Lexie were always

0:30:17.160 --> 0:30:19.040
<v Speaker 3>sharing clothes always yeah.

0:30:19.200 --> 0:30:22.840
<v Speaker 1>Always dream vacation destination.

0:30:24.160 --> 0:30:27.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, Well, I'm going to Patigoingia next week,

<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh. Tate McRae, no way.

<v Speaker 3>Really yeah, I think she's how old is she? She's

0:30:45.760 --> 0:30:46.840
<v Speaker 3>like a few years younger than.

0:30:47.080 --> 0:30:48.720

<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but one of the guys I used to dance

0:30:51.840 --> 0:30:55.040
<v Speaker 3>like against a competition is like her backup dancer, I think.

0:30:55.600 --> 0:30:57.840
<v Speaker 4>Oh my gosh, yeah, random connection.

<v Speaker 2>at like nine.

0:31:18.120 --> 0:31:19.920
<v Speaker 1>Favorite city to visit in the world.

0:31:21.520 --> 0:31:24.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, I just love Saigon, Vietnam so much.

0:31:26.080 --> 0:31:30.360

<v Speaker 2>Sometimes I drink energy drinks, but I try to stray

0:31:55.400 --> 0:31:58.600
<v Speaker 2>away because they're just so bad. I know, and I'm

0:31:58.640 --> 0:32:00.640
