So two years 83 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 4: ago I went through like a pretty bad breakup. I know, 84 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 4: I did like a year to kind of work on 85 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,079 Speaker 4: myself and really kind of get my feet under me, 86 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 4: both with my finances. I had just bought in the house, 87 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 4: so I wanted to kind of get my life in order. 88 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 1: When you say that, when you say a bad breakup 89 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: bad bad because of you or bad because of her 90 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: or bad, I'm both ends. 91 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 4: I'd probably say it was more so both ends. I 92 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 4: wanted to get married and she didn't. So that's the 93 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 4: part that was the hardest part was being like, hey, 94 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 4: I'm here and her being like, hey, I'm not there. 95 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 4: So that was that was hard for for for both 96 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 4: of us. 97 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 3: I took that. 98 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 4: Time to kind of really just do my own thing, 99 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 4: you know. And my sister she lives, she goes to Emory, 100 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 4: so when she's home for holidays in the summer, she 101 00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 4: stays with me. So twenty one year old sister her, 102 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 4: she's like, hey, Thomas, we got to get you back 103 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 4: out there. So what better way than to apply you. 104 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 4: So one night we popped open a bottle of rose 105 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 4: and we just started going after it was that was 106 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 4: last summer. 107 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 3: So yeah, shout out to my little sister Lily. 108 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 2: Wow, Lily, that's so good. 109 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: Did you watch any of Joey's season hoping that it 110 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,479 Speaker 1: was going to be one of these girls. 111 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 4: I did watch Joey's season. I did all of the 112 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 4: bits coming into it. I think I came into it 113 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 4: pretty open minded. I don't think anyone really had. Everyone 114 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 4: kept telling me what you think is going to happen 115 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:39,479 Speaker 4: is not going to happen. So that's kind of like 116 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 4: the idea that I came into the house thinking. So 117 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 4: I was pretty open minded when I came into it. 118 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 2: That's good. 119 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 5: I feel like that's the best mentality to go into 120 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 5: the show with, is just being open minded, because I 121 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,359 Speaker 5: feel like so many people go into it with a 122 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 5: very clear set of expectations or feeling like they know 123 00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 5: exactly how filming goes or how the show works, and 124 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 5: it just it's never you just don't know until you know. 125 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, and I felt like I kind of had a 126 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 4: like a leg up, if you will. My brother swam 127 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 4: with Robbie Hayes. They went to college together. I think 128 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 4: he was Jojoe. 129 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 2: I was like Robbie Hayes was like that's a throwback name. 130 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, And so they swam together. 131 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 4: I swam with Robbie's younger brothers, and so when this 132 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 4: came up, I called Robbie and I was like, hey, 133 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,280 Speaker 4: what can I expect if he was like nothing, you 134 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 4: don't expect anything to have No, don't go into it 135 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 4: like thinking that you know something, because you're not going 136 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 4: to know it. 137 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 3: And so that was probably like the most useful a 138 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 3: bit of advice that I got. 139 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: Well, that's that's interesting. That is actually very that's good advice. 140 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,720 Speaker 2: That is good advice. Nice job, well, Robbie, so correct 141 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 2: me if I'm wrong. 142 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 5: Robbie, I believe went really far on JoJo's season of 143 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,840 Speaker 5: The Bouchtera and then was on he was yeah his 144 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 5: runner up, right yeah, and then he was on Paradise 145 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 5: I believe as well. So he's done two shows. He's 146 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 5: a good part. And a call and say like, hey, 147 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 5: what should I expect? So the fact that someone who's 148 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 5: done two shows is like, don't expect anything. 149 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: But I don't know how he came across on Paradise. 150 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: Oh really, yeah, it might have went a little got 151 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 1: a little. 152 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 2: Went a little sideways for Robbie. 153 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so in Paradise. 154 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So let's talk about you're a competitive swimmer 155 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: or you were a competitive swimmer. 156 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, I was a competitive swimmer. 157 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,359 Speaker 4: I so all through college I swam, and then I 158 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 4: had the opportunity to get dual citizenship. Both my parents 159 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 4: are from Vietnam, and so the opportunity came up. And 160 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 4: United States swimming is elite, it's very very good. So 161 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 4: where in one event I was fortieth in the country 162 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 4: in the US, I was the second in the country 163 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:42,239 Speaker 4: in Vietnam. 164 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 3: So we had the opportunity to get dual citizenship. 165 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 4: I tried to make the Olympics in twenty sixteen and 166 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 4: then I had a partial tear in my left rotator 167 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 4: cuff that I couldn't lift my arm and so I 168 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 4: had to get a couple of quarter zone shots back 169 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 4: to back to back to like try and make it 170 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 4: through and then just barely miss. 171 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 1: So when you swim for Vietnam, how how long are 172 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: you over there for? 173 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:07,359 Speaker 3: Like? 174 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,279 Speaker 1: What does what does it?

Like I said, everyone in my life, 532 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,679 Speaker 4: everyone that's important to me is married with kids. 533 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,880 Speaker 3: So my two thirty two okay. 534 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, so my two of my best friends, I've known 535 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 4: them since I was twelve, so I've watched them and 536 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 4: their families grow. And so when I get the opportunity, 537 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,120 Speaker 4: it's uncle Thomas here, Uncle Thomas there. Both my brothers 538 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,159 Speaker 4: are married, well actually a younger brother is married.

My 541 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 4: best friends are in long term relationships. So when I'm 542 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 4: I'm bored, I just bounce around to be Uncle Thomas. 543 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: Yes. See, single life, single life is way more difficult 544 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:52,200 Speaker 1: when all your friends are in relationships one thousand percent. 545 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:56,919 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, So what was kind of your mentality then, Like, 546 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 5: going on this show, you were out of this yeriously 547 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 5: hadn't been dating obviously that's what you're looking for. 548 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 2: What mindset did you go in with? 549 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 4: I think a piece of advice that I got from 550 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 4: my mom was really helpful. 551 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: You didn't say Robbie again. 552 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,639 Speaker 3: I was like, no, no, no, no, no, this is this 553 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 3: is what good it was? It was It got me, 554 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 3: It got me there. 555 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 4: She said, people that you love and people that you 556 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 4: care about are going to watch you, and the person 557 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 4: that you end up with, you don't want them to 558 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 4: think that you're someone that you're not. So if you 559 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 4: put on this facade for however long you put it on, 560 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,679 Speaker 4: and then you get to the real world and she's like, 561 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 4: this is not you. Or if people watch you and 562 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,119 Speaker 4: they're like, hey, that's not you, that's going to be 563 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 4: a harder thing to fix in the real world. And 564 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 4: so I came into it thinking, hey, I'm just going 565 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,439 Speaker 4: to be unapologetically authentic, stand on what I believe in, 566 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 4: and put myself out there to be vulnerable and show 567 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:53,719 Speaker 4: Jen who I really am. As a person, and if 568 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 4: she picks it up, that's awesome, and if she doesn't, 569 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 4: then hopefully there's someone else that's out there for me. 570 00:24:58,520 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 2: That's great advice. 571 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 5: That was always my My biggest fear of potentially meeting 572 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 5: someone on the show was leaving the show and being. 573 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: Like, this is a different person. 574 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 2: That's not who I thought I was dating. 575 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 1: And that I'm. 576 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 5: Gonna wake up one day. Joe's gonna drop the facade. 577 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 5: It's gonna be horrible. Yeah, it's a lot harder to 578 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 5: correct down the line than it is to just be 579 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 5: upfront and true to yourself despite the fact that you're 580 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 5: being vulnerable for the world to see. 581 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: Did you prepare yourself or even think about the fact that, 582 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: you know, going on a show like The Bachelorette is 583 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 1: dating in an unconventional way, and you are potentially going 584 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:47,640 Speaker 1: to fall in love with somebody who's dating multiple men 585 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: at the same time and catching feelings for multiple people. 586 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,879 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, this is a once in a lifetime 587 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 4: opportunity and it's a spot where no one's ever been 588 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:02,120 Speaker 4: in this spot before. But like before, I if if 589 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,400 Speaker 4: we were meant to be and if at the end 590 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 4: of the road, you know she picks me, then I'd 591 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 4: hope that you know, our connection was stronger than anyone else's, 592 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,200 Speaker 4: and that she's not just playing me or playing any 593 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 4: other person, and that like what they say, that you're 594 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:19,640 Speaker 4: here for the right reasons, and so I was there 595 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 4: for the right reasons. 596 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, that's I don't know.

You know, obviously, 617 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 5: Jeremy came out in this very fancy car, him and 618 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 5: Jenn are having time talking in it, and then we 619 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,119 Speaker 5: see Brian come out of the house with the keys 620 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 5: to the car. 621 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,439 Speaker 2: Essentially kicks Jeremy out of his own car. 622 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:36,680 Speaker 1: Well what wait, was it Jeremy's car? 623 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 2: Oh? 624 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,439 Speaker 5: Yeah, so Joe and I were debating, was do you 625 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 5: know if it was you know, a prop car or 626 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 5: if it was actually Jeremy's car that he drives at home. 627 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 3: So I wasn't there for that either, so I couldn't 628 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:49,199 Speaker 3: tell you about that. 629 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 4: But I've heard the drama when they both came into 630 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:53,880 Speaker 4: the house, but I didn't get to see him take 631 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:54,919 Speaker 4: the keys or go out. 632 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 3: In his car. 633 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 2: So what did what did you overhear? What did we overhear? 634 00:27:58,359 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 2: I wasn't there. What did you overhear? 635 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:04,439 Speaker 4: A lot of people their personalities are completely opposite. I 636 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 4: think Jeremy is a really really quiet, you know, kind 637 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 4: of behind the scenes guy, and and Brian is definitely not. 638 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 4: So that I think it kind of made sense of 639 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:17,879 Speaker 4: how those two kind of interacted. It was, Yeah, Brian, 640 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 4: Brian's is a big personality as well. 641 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:22,159 Speaker 1: So he was one of the he was one of 642 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:22,879 Speaker 1: the louder. 643 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 5: Also, I just pulled up Jeremy's details and he's from 644 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,920 Speaker 5: New York, So there's no way that they shipped his actual. 645 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 2: Cart al shot. 646 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, probably not. Probably not. 647 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 2: I'm gonna say definitely not. 648 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 1: Probably not, But it's fun to think it was. 649 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 2: It's fun to think it was his real car. 650 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 5: So would you say that the house skewed more towards 651 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 5: Jeremy's side than Brian's side in that interaction? 652 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,959 Speaker 3: I definitely think so. Jeremy was. 653 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 4: Jeremy's always been super quiet, you know, just kind of calm, cool, 654 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 4: collected behind the scenes, and he didn't really. 655 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 2: That's funny, kind of a show. 656 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:00,640 Speaker 1: His limit entrance is it like that? 657 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 3: Yeah? 658 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 1: His limo interest is more like hey Jesse. Yeah. 659 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 3: Yeah. As I got to know him, it was kind 660 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 3: of the opposite. So that's interesting. 661 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, but that happens sometimes sometimes people go a little 662 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 5: all out for the entrance and it doesn't always totally 663 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 5: align with who they. 664 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 1: Are at their Poor Thomas, We're going to play a 665 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 1: quick game, a little rapid fire, get to know you 666 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 1: a little better, all right.
