Speaker 1: Heart Radio Podcast. Hello everyone, thank you for joining us
Speaker 1: on this twentieth of February episode. I'm Dean Angler, joined
Speaker 1: in studio by our lovely Erica and Easton No Mark Today. No,
Speaker 1: my mic wasn't even on. I don't know what I'm doing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Daddy's away so you know that the kids will play
Speaker 1: no Dad or Amy today, which is just the rarest.
Speaker 1: It's like the It's like an alignment in the solar
Speaker 1: system or something that you only see once every eighty
Speaker 1: five years. Um, here we are. We're also joined in
Speaker 1: studio with a bunch of special guests, a bunch of
Speaker 1: good friends of mine that we all met, I mean
Speaker 1: on a silly TV show a couple of months ago,
Speaker 1: The Love Help. You better be watching it because it's hilarious.
Speaker 1: We're two episodes in. We have another episode airing tonight
Speaker 1: and only one more to go on Thursday. Uh. Courtney,
Speaker 1: Kevin and Leslie Murphy are all in studio with me today.
Speaker 1: Everyone say hi, are you going alright? So a quick
Speaker 1: rundown you guys, if been watching the show, you probably
Speaker 1: already know most of them. But Courtney from Bachelorette Australia,
Speaker 1: Kevin from Bachelorette Canada, Leslie from Bachelor Shawn Lowe season USA. Um. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so let's go one by one and kind of I'd
Speaker 1: love for you guys to be at to introduce yourselves. Again,
Speaker 1: they've probably already seen the show, so they're familiar with
Speaker 1: at least a little bit. But um, Courtney, if you
Speaker 1: want to start, we'd love to hear a little bit
Speaker 1: more about you. Yeah, where do I start? What a try?
Speaker 1: Thank you? Um, well, yeah, you've probably seen the show,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure you know a little bit about me. Uh,
Speaker 1: you're still that I kissed Lily. Yeah, maybe maybe it
Speaker 1: could be good for the listeners to know what you
Speaker 1: physically look like if they haven't seen this show. So
Speaker 1: Courtney was about six ft seven, pure perfect teeth, just
Speaker 1: sparkling white teeth things, just describing the most beautiful brown
Speaker 1: eyes I've ever seen yours. It's literally in the first episode. Yeah,
Speaker 1: yeastily in the first episode. Uh, you'll have to waite
Speaker 1: and see how that ends, because it does brutally you
Speaker 1: end up hooking up with another cheek bloody great TV. Uh,
Speaker 1: stay tuned. Um, And then at the end of the
Speaker 1: well you come in soon if you let me finish
Speaker 1: Kevin stuff interrupting my time. This is my fifteen minutes
Speaker 1: of fame. But I do end up hooking up with
Speaker 1: Kevin at the end to hooks up with everyone on
Speaker 1: the show. So great TV tune in. I don't know
Speaker 1: more about myself. I I have a kids medical wristband
Speaker 1: company and I'm given medical ristbands a way to kids
Speaker 1: for free in America. Oh no, you did branch it
Speaker 1: out into the US. Yeah. Yeah, so I've got the website,
Speaker 1: the US version built before I came over. Real quick,
Speaker 1: it's free Medical ristbands dot Com. Couldn't be any easier
Speaker 1: than that. So if your kids have asthma, allergies and
Speaker 1: a flax of epilepsi, your diabetes, it's just instant notification
Speaker 1: in childcare, perfect and maybe share like a quick what
Speaker 1: made you want to start that? I worked in childcare
Speaker 1: for ten years, so as a childcare worker, it was
Speaker 1: bloody difficult to identify. You know, you look after forty
Speaker 1: kids on an oval or in school uniforms. They all
Speaker 1: look the same and it's hard to identify conditions and
Speaker 1: they are growing rapidly. So for me, It was about
Speaker 1: just that mediate identification. And a kid comes to you
Speaker 1: huffing and puffing, and you sit there and go, we'll
Speaker 1: just you know, sit down five minutes. Here's a glass
Speaker 1: of water. Little do you know that it's the early
Speaker 1: signs of maybe an anaphylactic reaction or an allergic reaction
Speaker 1: or an asthma attack. And so these wristbands really just
Speaker 1: show exactly what's happening so you can take those first
Speaker 1: care steps I suppose to avoiding sometimes a tragic situation
Speaker 1: and wearing yeah yeah, yeah, I rock them all the time,
Speaker 1: just a little bit of self motion. Really. Um, but
Speaker 1: there do you have asthma analogies? I've got asthma, don't
Speaker 1: have any allergies, so yeah, yeah, it's just pure fashion.
Speaker 1: I like to come up, which is a testament to
Speaker 1: how good they look, because not only are they identifying
Speaker 1: a condition that a may have, but that's a look cool. Yes,
Speaker 1: thank you, and I'll get you one. Haven't got lots
Speaker 1: of conditions? Can you get like a purple anxiety brieflet
Speaker 1: because I'll just take that one Purple's epilepsy. But I
Speaker 1: can create you a custom wristband. It just says, hey,
Speaker 1: with the blue. Yeah, there you go. Um, okay, so
Speaker 1: there's Courtney Kevin. How about yourself? What do you want
Speaker 1: to know? I would love to know just everything. How
Speaker 1: How would Bachelor Nation know you? We know you're from
Speaker 1: Bachelor Canada, I know, I know, we don't want to
Speaker 1: get too deep into it. And because your stories are
Speaker 1: kind of already shared on the show, but um, just
Speaker 1: kind of like a brief rundown your firefighter in Canada. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was in the military in my twenties. I was
Speaker 1: a Navy scuba diver for for a bunch of years
Speaker 1: at West UM. I got out the military became a
Speaker 1: firefighter pretty quick. Um kind of settled it into just
Speaker 1: a simple life, man. I'd like to just go to
Speaker 1: the gym and go to go to work, you know,
Speaker 1: spend time with my family. I'm pretty simple dude. So
Speaker 1: when the whole bachelorret thing came up, it was pretty
Speaker 1: outside of my comfort zone. It was just kind of
Speaker 1: a jump in. Don't tell anybody where you're going. I'm
Speaker 1: sure you did the similar thing. You just go on
Speaker 1: your own and and see what happens. Um, And how
Speaker 1: did you get on the show? How are you like nominated?
Speaker 1: My sister in law was actually watching Ben Higgins finale
Speaker 1: and she texted me and said, how are you not
Speaker 1: on one of these shows? And I was like, what
Speaker 1: show are you talking about? Out and then uh, and
Speaker 1: then I guess, I said, I don't know. I didn't
Speaker 1: never thought of it. She happened to google it and
Speaker 1: they were fully cast for Bachelor of Canada already, So
Speaker 1: she wrote an email saying, my brother in law would
Speaker 1: be great for your next season. So then they wrote
Speaker 1: me and said send me some stuff, and then seventeen
Speaker 1: days later we went and filmed. Well my question, So
Speaker 1: they bumped somebody for two weeks before. So we've seen
Speaker 1: crossovers from Canada come on in the US version? What
Speaker 1: stopped you from coming on the US version? So Daniel
Speaker 1: was on our season? Oh of your season? He had
Speaker 1: to turn ours down to go one' yes? So why
Speaker 1: would they pick Daniel over you? I didn't apply for
Speaker 1: this was well before me. Um, Daniel applied for ours,
Speaker 1: got onto ours, and then somehow when Joe Joe's season
Speaker 1: reached out and said he was on, he got rid
Speaker 1: of ours and came to you guys. Um I met Daniel.
Speaker 1: He's an interesting guy. He's very interesting. Yeah, I med
Speaker 1: him a couple of times. Um. Okay. So at this
Speaker 1: point were two episodes in the Winter Games we see
Speaker 1: your first date with Bibiana. Yeah, see a bit of it,
Speaker 1: just a little bit of it. Yeah, way enough, what's
Speaker 1: funny about this? And we talked about she passionate, she is,
Speaker 1: she is. Um. We talked about this quite a bit
Speaker 1: amongst ourselves, but you don't really see much of the dates.
Speaker 1: It's funny because we worked so hard in these competitions
Speaker 1: to win to get the date, and then they show
Speaker 1: the date for maybe ninety seconds on on TV. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so it's like they showed your in baby's day. They
Speaker 1: showed you making out at the end, and at this
Speaker 1: point I think they've shown you and baby kind of
Speaker 1: like ending things amongst yourselves. But even that as that
Speaker 1: was like a couple hours and not a couple of days,
Speaker 1: and then they kind of make it like seem ten
Speaker 1: seconds long, you know. Yeah, And there was a part
Speaker 1: of our date. I don't know if I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: in trouble, but we were we were one of like
Speaker 1: a little dance part of our date. It was pretty cool,
Speaker 1: like a town hall um country dancing, and it wasn't
Speaker 1: on the episode, and Bibbie was pretty excited about that
Speaker 1: because she worked a little bit. Oh it kind of
Speaker 1: a little bit all these countries. Yeah, a lot of plaid,
Speaker 1: a lot of cowboy boots. Yeah, they were they were
Speaker 1: looking at Bibby. Babbie was the hot commodity in there.
Speaker 1: It's a pa shot that you guys never saw it.
Speaker 1: We got a little bit too. Bob tooken to that
Speaker 1: next level. Um got you. And so now things with
Speaker 1: you and actually are going well for the viewers as
Speaker 1: they're watch seen the showing folds. Yeah, I think it's
Speaker 1: going well. We'll see see how the next to go.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be fun to watch. It's fun to watch. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it is. It is good. Let's excited. Um, have we
Speaker 1: seen as we cry at this point? Well, like, have
Speaker 1: you seen Ashley? I guess because you've been breaking hearts
Speaker 1: left and right, so I haven't seen it. I saw
Speaker 1: actually crying episode one, and I had no idea that
Speaker 1: she was crying. When I was leaving on my date
Speaker 1: with Maybe she's trying to you and Ben, I think
Speaker 1: at the dining room table and I had zero Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I had zero clue she was crying to bench shoulder.
Speaker 1: I'm getting friend zoned again, friends, but I don't I
Speaker 1: didn't see that. I was that ninive person. Just high
Speaker 1: five and everybody, you're going on a date. Yeah, um okay.
Speaker 1: So there's Kevin and and last, but very not least,
Speaker 1: we have Leslie Murphy, who is from Sean Lowsi's into
Speaker 1: the Bachelor. She came in fifth place. Um that's all
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say about her because I might have a
Speaker 1: bias opinion. So Leslie, do you want introduce yourself? Hi, guys,
Speaker 1: I'm Leslie. I am five seven and brown eyes and
Speaker 1: I'm a thirty years old Um, and that's what I
Speaker 1: look like off camera. But I'm sure hopefully you've seen
Speaker 1: some episodes of Bachelor Winning Game so far, and um,
Speaker 1: you may recognize me from a few years ago on
Speaker 1: Sean this season, and I hold a world record, which
Speaker 1: is my claim to fame longest on screen. Wait you
Speaker 1: still hold it like no one. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: think I swear And I was going to ask you, Courtney,
Speaker 1: because I think Bachelor Australia set out to beat that
Speaker 1: record a few years ago, or at least that's what
Speaker 1: I really twitter. Yeah, I need to look into that
Speaker 1: because if I don't hold that, is there a record
Speaker 1: for longest on podcast kiss because that could be broken today.
Speaker 1: That could be broken today. You never five minutes of
Speaker 1: silence and going to be slopping of mouths for the
Speaker 1: next Um. Yeah, I'll double check those facts for you.
Speaker 1: But Espelians hold my world record, So it wouldn't suppose
Speaker 1: that's that's the worst thing you've ever hold on you. Sure,
Speaker 1: then one thing I did as good at everything? Whoa
Speaker 1: little bro. There's a lot more Canadian listeners than Australian
Speaker 1: listeners right now, So if we're talking games, the Australians
Speaker 1: are way low. Everyone's seeing the show. I understand that
Speaker 1: I want everything sci fi like and gentlemen. I continue
Speaker 1: to win everything, so I stay tuned the more gold
Speaker 1: medals for Australia. Okay, So so back to Leslie. So
Speaker 1: Leslie was from Sean Lowe season. Um, you were great
Speaker 1: friends with Katherine and I know you talked about this
Speaker 1: at great links with with other people on other podcasts before. Um,
Speaker 1: but they got married and you were a bridesmaid in
Speaker 1: her in their wedding, right A little weird? How is
Speaker 1: that a little weird for I think most people involved,
Speaker 1: except for Catherine because she just I don't know, she
Speaker 1: does a really good job of separating, um, their relationship
Speaker 1: and our relationship. But for me, you know, this was
Speaker 1: I guess technically my ex boyfriend and then I was
Speaker 1: in his way where you were a bridesman at the
Speaker 1: bachelor's wedding. Yeah, I did not know wedding. I did
Speaker 1: not know that. You want to be funny, since you
Speaker 1: and Sean set the record for world's longest kiss if
Speaker 1: they reset the recording, everyone else's like. She was like, no,
Speaker 1: I'll give you this one. Yeah, that's amazing. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know if anyone else has seen this. I
Speaker 1: know that there were like certain teasers for it. But
Speaker 1: Courtney on his time of Bachelorette Australia the way because
Speaker 1: you made it hometowns. You were the fourth fourth place
Speaker 1: finisher for your season, right, um, and you were pretty brutal.
Speaker 1: Because I go around a little bit about this, I
Speaker 1: love you now. Can I see myself loving you in
Speaker 1: two weeks? I don't know. Probably not, most definitely not.
Speaker 1: I'm tapping out. I mean, look, it's it's it's one
Speaker 1: of those things. I mean, I I set out on
Speaker 1: the show just to be a hundred percent myself and
Speaker 1: be honest and not sail or do anything I wouldn't
Speaker 1: do or say in the real world just because I
Speaker 1: was on a television show. Uh. And I made that
Speaker 1: very clear to her. And I mean, look, we had
Speaker 1: a we had a good connection, and I feel we
Speaker 1: had probably the strongest connection out of the four guys
Speaker 1: who were left. UM. And it was a shame that
Speaker 1: she was so adamant at standing there at the end
Speaker 1: and saying that I love you and you guys know
Speaker 1: how much time you get with each other on these shows.
Speaker 1: And I've never watched the show before, never spoken any
Speaker 1: ex contestants or anything. Didn't realize how little time he
Speaker 1: spent with her. Oh him, yeah, that's a little bit
Speaker 1: again in Canada, um. But so yeah, I think just
Speaker 1: being there and have been there for two months and
Speaker 1: only having you know, three dates including my hometown with
Speaker 1: her ah. And I don't know if Australia is different,
Speaker 1: but you have a lot of separation time even though
Speaker 1: you are on single dates. And so for me, it
Speaker 1: just wasn't enough to say I love you, and some
Speaker 1: of the other boys were and they were saying those things,
Speaker 1: and I don't know if it was they were saying
Speaker 1: those things to stay there longer, but I was like,
Speaker 1: I like you, and I'm keen to see where this goes.
Speaker 1: I want to spend more time with you. Let's get
Speaker 1: to the end and say we like each other and
Speaker 1: then go on the real world and transform that lock
Speaker 1: into love and look, and I'm sure if you made
Speaker 1: the right person and the research things love, i'd love
Speaker 1: at first sart and whatnot. But it didn't happen for me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I'll tell you. I was. I said I love
Speaker 1: you during my hometown date, and I wanted to say
Speaker 1: it two weeks earlier. Really, yeah, you out? Yeah, just
Speaker 1: so there's there's also a time where like it was
Speaker 1: just you know, beautiful. Yeah. I think it would work
Speaker 1: for some people, But I feel like that bachelor bubble
Speaker 1: is so easy to get caught up in, which is
Speaker 1: impressive for Courtney and Leslie because you're spending you know,
Speaker 1: you don't have I don't know if you guys have
Speaker 1: your phones nothing, no phones lately. You basically are just
Speaker 1: spending all day, every day for two months talking about
Speaker 1: how great this person yeah, and then you're like, Okay,
Speaker 1: like I really have real feelings for it. So like
Speaker 1: the brutal honesty that you guys were able to I
Speaker 1: guess um maintain is impressive. But I want to pass
Speaker 1: it over to Erica because Erica is is the biggest
Speaker 1: Bachelor probably I've ever met. Dean just like realized like,
Speaker 1: oh no, this girl watches It's like I remember back
Speaker 1: to the first Bachelort I was probably like, I'm only
Speaker 1: twenty four now, so I don't know I was young.
Speaker 1: I just how is it different coming into like the
Speaker 1: Bachelor Nation world in the US versus Australia. Well, I
Speaker 1: feel like me and you differ a little bit because
Speaker 1: it's like Bachelor US is huge in Canada, Like I
Speaker 1: think our ratings in Canada are minor compared to what
Speaker 1: like Canadians watched the American and wait to even air
Speaker 1: the American version is right, yeah, because yeah, we don't
Speaker 1: get the signals. So I mean it's a little surreal.
Speaker 1: Because I've explained this a few times. Showing up on
Speaker 1: the first day, I recognized half of the cast, right,
Speaker 1: Like I had watched Dean on Rachel's season, I had
Speaker 1: watched Eric, Eric I think I started watching Nick season
Speaker 1: because that was the one aftermine, So I watched everyone since.
Speaker 1: So I recognized Dean, I recognized um, a few of
Speaker 1: the girls I didn't know less. They didn't know Claire,
Speaker 1: I didn't know Ashley very well. I just need their faces. Um.
Speaker 1: So it's pretty overwhelming when you go in, Like I
Speaker 1: knew who Ben Higgins was, Like I knew he was
Speaker 1: the bachelor. Everyone knows who bad and he's so damn
Speaker 1: tall and handsome. He just just can't not notice them.
Speaker 1: But it was fun because we were we were all unknown,
Speaker 1: So it's fun to be in the house with all
Speaker 1: these guys because nobody knew us. And yeah, that was
Speaker 1: the most part. Yeah, like did you guys going in,
Speaker 1: You're like, who the heck are these people? I was
Speaker 1: google doble before though. I found out, like you guys
Speaker 1: because uh tweeted you out. Yeah, you tweeted me out
Speaker 1: about a month before we filmed. Me and Jordan's the
Speaker 1: guy from New Zealand tweeted our pictures out because I
Speaker 1: actually actually told me she was like she knew everything
Speaker 1: about me on the first day. It's pretty intimidating too,
Speaker 1: because you meet like a bunch of these other people
Speaker 1: from other countries and like Courtney's tall, Kevin's like super
Speaker 1: buff um, and like all you can really do is
Speaker 1: be intimidated by these guys who you don't know anything about,
Speaker 1: but you just know that they've been on the show
Speaker 1: in all the countries you know, so it's like the
Speaker 1: first thing you walk into the mansion, for me, I
Speaker 1: was like holy caw, Like I'm terrified. Like all these
Speaker 1: guys are, you know, professionals in their careers, and they're
Speaker 1: all like athletic and they're all handsome, and it's like
Speaker 1: the more you get to know them, like the more
Speaker 1: you understand them for their quirks and like they're they're
Speaker 1: I guess what makes them them Like they're not all
Speaker 1: just like Superman exactly so, and it just takes a
Speaker 1: little bit of time. And with the international component as well,
Speaker 1: like they had accents when you travel, Like I traveled
Speaker 1: through Eastern Europe for a month last year with my
Speaker 1: roommate and we met like a lot of Australians and
Speaker 1: all of them were like the coolest people I've ever met.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, all right, Courtney's going to be a
Speaker 1: hard thrive, like he's gonna be the coolest guy here
Speaker 1: because everyone loves the Australians and you met me. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Actually I was like, um, what's funny about the first
Speaker 1: episode is I know that you and Lily hit it
Speaker 1: off early, but I didn't know you guys share to
Speaker 1: kiss that first or second Yeah. Well, look, I think,
Speaker 1: um sort of going back to the way I held
Speaker 1: myself in the Bachelorette, and we are in this environment
Speaker 1: where everything is feel film, and it's kind of it's
Speaker 1: I feel like we mean, Lily had this really solid
Speaker 1: connection and more sold than the connection I had with
Speaker 1: the Bachelorette in Australia, which kind of blew me away.
Speaker 1: And I really didn't expect to meet someone like her
Speaker 1: in this situation, and so for me, it was kind
Speaker 1: of about trying to remove ourselves from the whole environment
Speaker 1: so that she knew that the way I felt about
Speaker 1: her with the first kiss or whatever wasn't just for cameras.
Speaker 1: And it wasn't because we were in the spar and
Speaker 1: there was two cameras there, and there's guys on booms
Speaker 1: and they're kind of sitting there clapping, going and it
Speaker 1: wasn't like a set up environment. So I actually walked
Speaker 1: around the house and tried to find the quietest area
Speaker 1: where there was no cameras. Um. So when I felt
Speaker 1: like the time was right to to kiss her, I
Speaker 1: was going to take her there, which is what I did, um,
Speaker 1: so just so she knew it was genuine. Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was. It was at the top of the stairs
Speaker 1: outside the women's door room. I thought to myself, if
Speaker 1: things are going to go to the next level of
Speaker 1: the bedrooms right there, so it's n't even gone sure,
Speaker 1: and then she went through the Maybe that's what you see,
Speaker 1: um because I think when we first got up to
Speaker 1: the top of the stairs, I did notice there was
Speaker 1: one of those DOMI cameras, but it was facing the
Speaker 1: other way. And then we were kissing for a little bit,
Speaker 1: and then remember stopping. We'd stop and we talk again,
Speaker 1: and then we'd sort of kiss again, and then yeah,
Speaker 1: one time I looked up it was facing right at it.
Speaker 1: It was very endearing. It is super cute. Was from
Speaker 1: the Heterosexual mail. And it's funny too because you see
Speaker 1: those little dome cameras around. There's probably what like twenty
Speaker 1: of them spattered throughout the house, and there's always so
Speaker 1: much going on that you never think that those little
Speaker 1: dome cameras are going to pick up what you're doing.
Speaker 1: But there's all an you like you're like, who's watching
Speaker 1: me right now? Like no one's watching me? But then
Speaker 1: there always is someone that's watching you. So it's like
Speaker 1: you can try and get away like you said you did,
Speaker 1: and it's like it's definitely reassuring when there aren't camera
Speaker 1: men or camera people holding camera in front of your
Speaker 1: faces so I can see what, like that's how they
Speaker 1: catch you actually doing things. There's yeah, like you know that. Yeah, okay, Leslie.
Speaker 1: Also question for you, what made you decide to come
Speaker 1: back to like Bachelor World? Great question, good question. It
Speaker 1: was when I heard there was going to be an
Speaker 1: international cast. I was pretty sold on that and the
Speaker 1: fact that, um, the fact that it was a Brandon show,
Speaker 1: no real stigma around it, and we were doing Winter
Speaker 1: Games and I love that, and um, yeah, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I was. I didn't really have to think about it
Speaker 1: too much. Have you been asked to go on other
Speaker 1: spinoffs before I have? I got asked to Paradise a
Speaker 1: couple of times, and it's kind of a waiting for
Speaker 1: the right moment. It's a hard pass, had pass. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just one for me. I don't know, um, but
Speaker 1: I'm glad. I'm glad to turn that down for that.
Speaker 1: It was a nice hiatus. But I'm back. Yeah. It
Speaker 1: was a couple of years. When was it was five years?
Speaker 1: Just a couple That means I was you my freshman
Speaker 1: year No no, no, no, not my freshman year of college,
Speaker 1: but somewhere around them. So my roommates and I cheered
Speaker 1: for you. I remember, Yeah, yeah, totally, Um, we're going
Speaker 1: back to that. Didn't you want Aria as your bachelor? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Is not what I heard. I'm back, yeah, because because
Speaker 1: I went on right after Sean and Ari's season with
Speaker 1: Emily Maynard, and so it was kind of between the
Speaker 1: two of them. I remember, and I wanted Ari and
Speaker 1: it ended up being Sean. And here we are and
Speaker 1: it's Ari season currently filming and airing. Did you ever
Speaker 1: consider going back on for Ori? No, No, that's a
Speaker 1: whole that's a whole different beast. I've been there, done that,
Speaker 1: and so this was this is definitely better than that
Speaker 1: in a different format, And there wasn't one lead. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of different guys to kind of you could
Speaker 1: choose from a lot of different people to hi and date,
Speaker 1: especially the international ones can fly. She was excited to gone.
Speaker 1: Can you go on more than one bachelorette old Bachelor's
Speaker 1: season in America? It's what happens. He was on too.
Speaker 1: Nick was on too Really? Nick was the runner up
Speaker 1: on too. Do you want to tell us about your
Speaker 1: fitness as you got Winter Games? Have you guys ever
Speaker 1: heard of beach Body? What do you mean? Dain? Please
Speaker 1: tell me more about beach Body. Well, it sounds like

Speaker 1: own device, in the palm of your hands to click away.
Speaker 1: And for those of us who need help in the kitchen,
Speaker 1: beach Body on Demand even has help with nutrition. You
Speaker 1: can try this amazing program or six hundred workouts and
Speaker 1: nutritional information for free. That's right, free please, Plus, your
Speaker 1: annual subscription is cheaper than a gym membership. Right now,
Speaker 1: my listeners get a free trial membership. When you text
Speaker 1: Dean to three oh three oh three, you get full
Speaker 1: access to the entire platform for free. That's right, ladies
Speaker 1: and gentlemen, I said free, all the workouts and nutrition
Speaker 1: information free. Just takes Dan to three oh three oh three.
Speaker 1: Oh I think I think what he said was texting
Speaker 1: d A N to thirty thirty and you'll get a
Speaker 1: lot of free stuff from beach Body on Demand. The
Speaker 1: best thing about each Body on Demand is I suck
Speaker 1: at going to the gym. I always go to bed
Speaker 1: at night telling myself, I'm gonna go to the gym
Speaker 1: first thing in the morning. That rarely ever happens. So
Speaker 1: it's nice about beach Body on Demand. You can bust
Speaker 1: it out whenever you want. You can open up a
Speaker 1: TV and turn on the app and start sweating. I'm
Speaker 1: not much of a sweater myself, but it's always nice
Speaker 1: to have some guided workouts. Um. Again, Courtney, Leslie and
Speaker 1: Kevin are all in great shape and I'm just doing
Speaker 1: my best to catch up with them. So each Body
Speaker 1: on Demand is my way of doing that. Texting to
Speaker 1: thirty thirty and you'll get full access to the entire
Speaker 1: platform for free. But again, that's beach Body texting. So
Speaker 1: obviously we all go on this show because we want
Speaker 1: to meet someone. Um. More often than not, it doesn't
Speaker 1: work out, you know, I think there's what thirty people
Speaker 1: per season. Of course there's only one winner. Some people
Speaker 1: go to Paradise, some people go to Winter Games and
Speaker 1: and meet people there, but I would say a majority
Speaker 1: of the people don't really end up with anyone, which
Speaker 1: is sad. Of course. You know, you you have like
Speaker 1: married to each other very incestuous. Um. But aside from
Speaker 1: like being nominated and all that kind of stuff from
Speaker 1: for the for the listeners, do you guys have any
Speaker 1: advice on kind of what makes relationship successful for you guys,
Speaker 1: because again I'm not gonna tease it, but from what
Speaker 1: we've seen so far, Courtney and Only are doing really well. Um,
Speaker 1: Kevin and Ashley are doing well. Dean and Leslie are
Speaker 1: doing okay. What I guess Courtney, what makes your in
Speaker 1: Lily's relationship works so well? Kevin? Same question. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think the biggest thing for me was just meeting someone
Speaker 1: who I had obviously things an attraction too, because she's beautiful,
Speaker 1: but um, on a personality level, I mean, she's just herself.
Speaker 1: She has a hot on a slave, she's so honest,
Speaker 1: she there's no filter, she's hilarious, and she's so easy
Speaker 1: to just get along with and have a chat to,
Speaker 1: and she gets along well with everyone. Um. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I think just we are on such a similar level
Speaker 1: and in a situation like this, you know, I think
Speaker 1: it's it's easy to get carried away and perhaps be
Speaker 1: like a heightened version of yourself or be on in
Speaker 1: certain times and whatever and she is just herself four seven.
Speaker 1: She's just Lily, and she's funny. Um, you know, she
Speaker 1: makes me laugh. And I don't know, we just we
Speaker 1: just share the same values I suppose and interests and um,
Speaker 1: we're both free spirits. You know. She's moved and lived
Speaker 1: all over the world and I've done the same. We
Speaker 1: have a lot in common. So I don't know. I
Speaker 1: think there's just there was too many boxes that were
Speaker 1: ticked straight away and for the listeners that, um, I
Speaker 1: don't know this Courtney was actually slighter to be on
Speaker 1: Batchel in Paradise Erica, my phone energy God, we were
Speaker 1: supposed to We're supposed to me to Mexico. That would
Speaker 1: have been it was a different season. Things kind of
Speaker 1: unfolded that weren't planned and thinking and all that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff abbreviated timeline. But um oh okay. I had
Speaker 1: a crush on Karine and they were like, if if
Speaker 1: you're coming over, which would you like to look up with?
Speaker 1: And I said, well, Corine, And so they called me
Speaker 1: and said she's taken. I was like, did you did
Speaker 1: you come into Winter Games expecting to meet someone like Lily?
Speaker 1: That no way. Well, we're kind of your expectations. I
Speaker 1: mean obviously with other preview international women. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it well, like Leslie said before, you know this,
Speaker 1: this concept ticked so many boxes and I think for me,
Speaker 1: Bachelorette Australia was an amazing experience. Absolutely loved it, and
Speaker 1: I sort of felt after that, Um, the time I'd
Speaker 1: spent with her wasn't enough for me to fall in love,
Speaker 1: and so I was a little bit skeptical that in
Speaker 1: this situation was there going to be enough time to
Speaker 1: fall in love. And then I know the producers were like,
Speaker 1: you live in the same house together seven during the
Speaker 1: same place, and so it was like, in one day
Speaker 1: I spent more time with Lily than I did in
Speaker 1: two with the batch to the right in Australia. So
Speaker 1: I think, um, again, you know international women, I mean
Speaker 1: adventure sports. You know, there was a lot of boxes
Speaker 1: take So again the ill watch skeptical. I didn't think
Speaker 1: that I would be able to fall for someone that quickly.
Speaker 1: I never have before. So again, I hadn't never met
Speaker 1: someone like her. You know, she's such a unique kid, um,
Speaker 1: and she's a little fun so yeah, yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: we definitely see it, especially on TV but Kevin, how
Speaker 1: about you? So we've seen your relationship with Baby unfold
Speaker 1: and now we see you with Ashley. Yeah. Um, I
Speaker 1: think the one advantage of going on the second show,
Speaker 1: I'm treating it with a lot less pressure because last time,
Speaker 1: you know, on my on my third one on one date,
Speaker 1: I'm looking at rings, you know what I mean. So
Speaker 1: this time it's like Ashley and I going on one
Speaker 1: on one date. It's more of can I see myself
Speaker 1: dating her in a few months in l a or
Speaker 1: in Toronto? Or could I see myself doing something cool
Speaker 1: with her outside of the house. And the less pressure
Speaker 1: made it a lot more fun for everyone, I think. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of nice. Thing about the spin
Speaker 1: offsity will a Batcher Batchette is there's a lot les pressure,
Speaker 1: a lot less I guess finality to it where they
Speaker 1: do kind of create these even actually in Paradise and
Speaker 1: and a little bit on in two games, they create
Speaker 1: like these very definitive timelines of by Tuesday, you have
Speaker 1: to know whether you want to continue date this person
Speaker 1: or not, when in real life you could have you know,
Speaker 1: obviously a couple more time or some more time and
Speaker 1: a couple more conversations kind of revolving around that. M hum.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean I think from what we've seen
Speaker 1: so far, off you and actually it's it seems to
Speaker 1: be going pretty well. And yeah, I mean it's it's
Speaker 1: it's fun because you just you take a day by
Speaker 1: day and I know she's uh, she opens up pretty quickly. Uh,
Speaker 1: tells me a lot about her. I know she hasn't
Speaker 1: really been successful in the dating world. Um. She kept saying,
Speaker 1: is this what most guys are like? You know? Because
Speaker 1: I treated with respect? And I think she's a great person.
Speaker 1: She's she's so funny and I'm actually really excited that
Speaker 1: everyone gets to see this side of her. Um. I
Speaker 1: feel like, like Winter Games, from start to end, you'll
Speaker 1: see a new Ashley and and this is kind of
Speaker 1: the real Actually I did YouTube her, of course I did.
Speaker 1: Of course I did. After filming what's the what's the
Speaker 1: first thing you do is YouTube everybody in the house.
Speaker 1: So he didn't really know much about right, And I
Speaker 1: watched her on Paradise. I watched her two on one day,
Speaker 1: laugh pretty hard at that one. Were you just like shocked?
Speaker 1: I was, because it's just it's not who I knew
Speaker 1: And it's and it's not who I'm It's not who
Speaker 1: I'm at. It's seriously not who I'm at. And that
Speaker 1: was the cool part about it was I feel like
Speaker 1: this show started to finish. You'll get a new new side.
Speaker 1: That's a testament to you as a person too. It's
Speaker 1: funny because Courtney and these relationship, it's like, you guys
Speaker 1: are very very similar to each other in a lot
Speaker 1: of ways, like very outrageous, out going and quirky, all
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. And then Kevin and Ashley works
Speaker 1: so well together because you're like this rock for her,
Speaker 1: who's you know, a little bit more emotionally, I guess,
Speaker 1: volatile and out there. But it's it's it's kind of
Speaker 1: a contrast in the couples where they're very very similar
Speaker 1: Courtney and Lily, and then actually Kevin works so well
Speaker 1: because they're kind of opposites. So what about, um, you
Speaker 1: and Leslie? What about your time in Leslie and my relationship?
Speaker 1: We just got done with our date last week? What
Speaker 1: do we do? We went sledding? Yeah, I guess. The
Speaker 1: first couple of days we spent in Vermont was surprisingly
Speaker 1: pretty barren in terms of snow. There was no snow
Speaker 1: on the ground. All the snow was man made for
Speaker 1: the most part, but fortunately, like four or five days
Speaker 1: into it, we got dumped on like two ft in
Speaker 1: a matter of days. Um, that tubing date was before
Speaker 1: that snow came, and so there was a very distinct
Speaker 1: like tubing path that we had to go down, and
Speaker 1: there were these walls like these burms belt on either side,
Speaker 1: but they weren't tall enough for one of the times,
Speaker 1: and we almost lost this one into the trees. Yeah. No,
Speaker 1: I think that that actually errors on the promo. It
Speaker 1: shows like me going over the wall and if you
Speaker 1: had so we can chalk that up as Dean saved
Speaker 1: Leslie's life. And how is that? How was that speed
Speaker 1: skate when you earned that? D oh? Yeah? So what's
Speaker 1: what's funny? Actually, let me let me clear the air
Speaker 1: on this right now. Is I heard the producers kind
Speaker 1: of conferring with each other that we're going to take
Speaker 1: the lowest people from each heat, and so I was like,
Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna purposefully lose the first heat, final
Speaker 1: heat to wind. It was all of ours. I was
Speaker 1: faking it the whole time. Was actually an incredible speed skater,
Speaker 1: clearly by the bio pack with Yeah. Again, it was
Speaker 1: all I'm an il plan to get me in a
Speaker 1: situation where I could take Leslie on. The real winner
Speaker 1: on the day was the locker. The locker body sits
Speaker 1: for everyone. Yes, amazing. All right, well, Leslie, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: turn the floor to you to ask you the same
Speaker 1: question that Kevin and Courtney just answered, why our relationship
Speaker 1: seems to be working so well? M hours, here's in mine?
Speaker 1: And to leave the audience on with and what are
Speaker 1: you expecting to find? Like have you been Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: just like everything you're Um, so gosh, I went on.
Speaker 1: I went on bashion winning Games with a very open mind. Um.
Speaker 1: And I really like the fact that it was an
Speaker 1: international cast, and I kind of came away with being like,
Speaker 1: maybe I will come off this show with a foreign
Speaker 1: boyfriend because I feel like that's what I've known for
Speaker 1: the past few years. I travel for a living and
Speaker 1: I'm all over the world all the time, and so
Speaker 1: the international cast thing really got me and really excited me. So, um,
Speaker 1: here I am without two episodes and games um and
Speaker 1: so anyway, I guess my last my last relationship was
Speaker 1: um with a Puerto Rican and he is very American
Speaker 1: as Puerto Ricans are. Um. I think that's a common misperception,
Speaker 1: but um, you know, misconception. Um, but you know, they
Speaker 1: grow up learning a completely different language and they have
Speaker 1: their own culture, and so in a way, UM, he
Speaker 1: seemed very foreign, and UM, I love that about him.
Speaker 1: And so when I went on Bachelor Winter Games, I
Speaker 1: thought maybe that would be a similar ending. But here
Speaker 1: we are two episodes in and I'm dating an American, white,
Speaker 1: red American, and UM, I'm glad I don't have to
Speaker 1: really worry about finding a way to make it work
Speaker 1: long distance and overseas, because I think that's probably pretty
Speaker 1: hard for some contestants like Corney and Lily um or
Speaker 1: even who border the end of the day, fine Rod
Speaker 1: that right, still five hour plan Like yeah, yeah, Sime
Speaker 1: is Lily And if if if we want something to
Speaker 1: take into consideration as you begin to explore the opportunity
Speaker 1: the idea of dating someone, And that's actually something that
Speaker 1: I can even relate to my first time on because
Speaker 1: my ex fiance was a five hour flight away. So
Speaker 1: you know, if I start to date Ashley on TV
Speaker 1: and I wanted to go past that, you have to
Speaker 1: consider it's still a long distance, right, Like you guys,
Speaker 1: if you guys were to date after this, how long
Speaker 1: flight is it for New Zealand to It's five hours,
Speaker 1: so you're to Yeah, so it comes into you gotta
Speaker 1: gotta Absolutely, it's something that obviously you can see the
Speaker 1: ones you're on the show and you meet someone who
Speaker 1: is in a different country. But even coming into Winter Games,
Speaker 1: I didn't think to myself, Hey, you'm gonna meet someone
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be on the other side of the world.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to try and make it work. It
Speaker 1: just wasn't. I didn't even cost my mind. I thought,
Speaker 1: if I meet someone, then fantastic. I'm probably gonna get
Speaker 1: home solo. But if I do meet someone, then I'll
Speaker 1: take those steps. But you travel a lot for work.
Speaker 1: I do work. I don't have a home, so that's
Speaker 1: that's why this could be a little complicated. And I
Speaker 1: guess in a way long distance. But I think is
Speaker 1: the year of the apartment everyone, because I've been living
Speaker 1: out of a suit case for three years and I
Speaker 1: think it'll be nice to have a closet in the kitchen.
Speaker 1: One day. I feel like I'm lacking basic adult skills
Speaker 1: at this point, Like I don't know how to cut
Speaker 1: an onion, and that's not okay as a thirty year old.
Speaker 1: You're not messing much. They've got they've got these tools
Speaker 1: now where you just stick the onion hole and you
Speaker 1: just close the little alligator teeth. I hear about the
Speaker 1: boodle makers. I really want to zood. Just Postmates. Just Postmates.
Speaker 1: So one way of meeting people that I'm sure all
Speaker 1: of you are familiar with, or at least i've heard
Speaker 1: the name, is a little online dating website called e Harmony.
Speaker 1: Chances are you run into it. You've heard of it before. Um,
Speaker 1: if you are using dating apps and maybe struggling to
Speaker 1: find a meaningful match, someone that you really connect with
Speaker 1: on a deeper level besides just the pictures, and maybe
Speaker 1: you're just getting lazy text messages, dead in conversations, random
Speaker 1: matches that don't turn into any dates, consider giving the
Speaker 1: harmony and try. What's great about the Harmony is they'll
Speaker 1: take steps at other dating sites don't in order to
Speaker 1: find you a more compatible match. UM. One thing that
Speaker 1: I like to say about it is it definitely is
Speaker 1: a way to take dating a little bit more seriously.
Speaker 1: If you really are looking to meet that someone that
Speaker 1: you're looking to have a meaningful longer um maybe a
Speaker 1: lifetime connection with the Harmony definitely seems to have the
Speaker 1: recipe figured out. They've helped over a million people find
Speaker 1: their perfect match, So stop waiting and start your journeying
Speaker 1: to a satisfying, meaningful relationship. Can be fun to play around,
Speaker 1: like I said, with those online dating apps, but when
Speaker 1: you're ready to really fall in love with someone and
Speaker 1: have a meaningful relationship, there's one app that's built to
Speaker 1: bring you real love, and that's the Harmony. So come on,

Speaker 1: entire life. And if you really are serious about jumping
Speaker 1: into a relationship um and taking that next step in
Speaker 1: your life, E Harmony is the way to do it.
Speaker 1: So e Harmony dot com and enter my code help
Speaker 1: at checkout. I feel like Corney and Kevin gave some great,
Speaker 1: beautiful answers about what makes the relationships work, and with
Speaker 1: Lessie really didn't get much there. But what about what
Speaker 1: about what about Dye? What about two episodes? Daniel? Are
Speaker 1: you going to know him? What about making you excited?
Speaker 1: Besides my face? What did you like about me? Well? Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's more than just the eyes. Um, it goes way
Speaker 1: deeper than that. And I've always said that I needed
Speaker 1: to find somebody who is equally as adventurous as me,
Speaker 1: and he is that in a nutshell. I mean, I
Speaker 1: remember when we went on our our tubing date. You
Speaker 1: were like, Okay, here I go and just flew down
Speaker 1: the mountain right before me, and I was like, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm right behind you. Here I come. And so I
Speaker 1: really love that, and I was trying to show off,
Speaker 1: I think my tubing skills. It is that a thing.
Speaker 1: Can somebody have tubing skills? Um? See the last I
Speaker 1: feel like you are probably one of the best spots
Speaker 1: because you don't have a home. So if you ever
Speaker 1: wanted to try something, it's just like for me personally,
Speaker 1: if I ever did want to live somewhere else, it's
Speaker 1: like a full career changer, like everything would change in
Speaker 1: my life. Um, you can. There are firefighters are needed
Speaker 1: everywhere around the world, Kevin. It is very hard to
Speaker 1: steal an American's job away from him before he's hired.
Speaker 1: So you went back to a normal life after the show,
Speaker 1: that's like not as normal here? Are you still? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I'm still? Yeah. I worked. I worked two days after
Speaker 1: we wrapped filming. I worked twenty four hours and couldn't
Speaker 1: tell anybody what, like what, I'm fine. I had a
Speaker 1: good vacations with no pictures. Yeah, I mean yeah. Actually
Speaker 1: last year I went, I went off. I went off
Speaker 1: work for two and a half months, um, and didn't
Speaker 1: tell anybody where I went. I just did a bunch
Speaker 1: of ship trades, took all my holidays. Um. I filled
Speaker 1: two guys in with like nondisclosures. I made them sign
Speaker 1: and to go away. And yeah, I came back engaged.
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell anybody for four I see different than here.
Speaker 1: We had four months before I was even announced, after
Speaker 1: I purposed before I was even announced, So she was
Speaker 1: announced a few months before me and end up being
Speaker 1: six months before we were on the air. But I
Speaker 1: was engaged and we're just flying back and forth and
Speaker 1: secretly hiding out. Yeah, all right, everyone stopped talking less
Speaker 1: he's about to say nice things about me. Sorry, okay.
Speaker 1: I guess one of my favorite things, besides the fact
Speaker 1: that Dean loves to travel and he's very adventures is
Speaker 1: how he treats other people, because I think that he
Speaker 1: could talk to a doctor and a janitor on one
Speaker 1: conversation and treat them the exact same. And I really
Speaker 1: love that. And notice that um pretty early on, which
Speaker 1: drew me in more so than your blue eyes. We
Speaker 1: had a doctor in a janitor on Winter Games to
Speaker 1: talk to. We could really put that to the test. Um.
Speaker 1: One thing to Leslie's point, I do like to, I guess,
Speaker 1: engage with everyone as much as I possibly can. And
Speaker 1: a great way to engage with other people if you're
Speaker 1: if you're maybe thinking about ways that you can make
Speaker 1: your friends happy. You put a smile on your sister's face,
Speaker 1: your mom's face, your girlfriend's face, whatever it is. This
Speaker 1: is just shower them with gifts. And one of those
Speaker 1: ways you can do that is by going to thread up.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if you guys know what thread
Speaker 1: up is. It is basically, yes, sir Courtney nailed on
Speaker 1: the head. It's basically an online thrift store, so you
Speaker 1: guys are familiar with UM. Obviously, like the thrift stores,
Speaker 1: we can go and find like a diamond in the rough,
Speaker 1: and at thrift stories, we have to do typically is
Speaker 1: sort through rack after rack after just to get like
Speaker 1: one cool thing. What thread Up is is an online
Speaker 1: through store. So basically what you're able to do is, UM,
Speaker 1: you know, set your filters, your size, is your your styles,
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff, and and you save. All
Speaker 1: the time, you're still getting off the retail price, and
Speaker 1: a lot of these items that you're gonna be finding, right,
Speaker 1: so it's crazy. A lot of these items you're gonna
Speaker 1: be finding still have the tags on them. Every single
Speaker 1: one of them goes through a twelve point quality inspection
Speaker 1: process twelve points. Twelve points, not one, not to not ten,
Speaker 1: not eleven, but twelve, ensuring that every item is in
Speaker 1: like new condition. Again, a lot of them still have
Speaker 1: tags on them. Um. Easton's wife was nice enough to
Speaker 1: write a handwritten thank you card. That's right. Dean bought
Speaker 1: my wife a very nice denim jacket. It was a
Speaker 1: theory jacket. It was brand new, it had the tags.
Speaker 1: It fits her perfectly. She loves it, and she became
Speaker 1: an instant Dean fan. She doesn't even watch The Bachelor.
Speaker 1: She's a huge Dean fan. I'll take any anything I
Speaker 1: can get right now because I'm hemorrhaging them like no
Speaker 1: one can believe. And it was only two dollars run ding,
Speaker 1: but it was two dollars. It was two dollars marked
Speaker 1: down from two dollars. That's what thread up can do
Speaker 1: for you. Yeah, what's the app I'm downloading it. It's
Speaker 1: spread up, so t h r E d up. Just
Speaker 1: go on the website thread up dot com. It's th
Speaker 1: h r E d u p dot com. If you
Speaker 1: go to thread up dot com slash Dean, you'll get
Speaker 1: an extra thirty percent off those already up to off
Speaker 1: retail prices. That's thread up dot com, t h R
Speaker 1: E d u p dot com, slash Dean, d A
Speaker 1: n um. I have one last question for probably all
Speaker 1: of you. We're any of you nervous about going back
Speaker 1: on TV and like like you had just been engaged,
Speaker 1: you broke up with someone because you didn't like them.
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess similar for Leslie. She wouldn't say
Speaker 1: I love you. I mean you had been torn apart
Speaker 1: on Paradise well all the above, UM fans tour them apart. Like,
Speaker 1: were you guys nervous about going back out there and
Speaker 1: putting yourselves on TV again? Yes? Yes, And I think
Speaker 1: because the American audience is so much more fanatical than
Speaker 1: this committ Yeah, you have your own Nicaean dedicated to
Speaker 1: these franchise, which is insane in Australia. You know, it's
Speaker 1: one of the highest writing TV shows and we only
Speaker 1: get like six d thousand people watch it, so you
Speaker 1: don't have to walk down the straight and people go, oh,
Speaker 1: can I get a selfie with you? Um, so a
Speaker 1: little bit nervous, I suppose doing something like this in
Speaker 1: another country. Obviously, I've been falling in love, really wanting
Speaker 1: to and pasta Kevin. I was not nervous this time.
Speaker 1: I was really excited. I remember getting home last time
Speaker 1: and I didn't turn my phone on for three days
Speaker 1: after UM, and then when I did it, I actually
Speaker 1: turned it back off for two more days when I
Speaker 1: got home. Yeah, because it's kind of it's kind of
Speaker 1: nice to be disconnected and just in the moment with people. UM,
Speaker 1: there's a few times where we like cooked dinner in
Speaker 1: the house in Vermont, um, where somebody would just pipe
Speaker 1: up and say, isn't it crazy nobody's looking at their
Speaker 1: phones and we're all talking about families and like and
Speaker 1: also and also we have so many interview times with
Speaker 1: producers and I connected with two really good producers this
Speaker 1: season where I just got to go in there and
Speaker 1: it was my therapy. And I go to therapy pretty
Speaker 1: often at home, like probably twice a week. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: the best. Um, So this was even better because I
Speaker 1: got like two hours of therapy per day. So I
Speaker 1: was actually really for free free, I'm getting paid. I'm
Speaker 1: being paid to do therapy. So um, I was actually
Speaker 1: really excited. And yeah, and when I got home, you
Speaker 1: you just you feel good after, So I was actually excited. Yeah. Next, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I kind of Mirrord Kevin said, Um, I wasn't nervous
Speaker 1: this time around. Um, And it's a nice thing to
Speaker 1: be able to put the phone down. I'm always I'm
Speaker 1: on my phone too much. Um all over the world
Speaker 1: posted Instagram stories and social media posts and blog posts
Speaker 1: and writing and just um just way too much on
Speaker 1: on electronics. So it was nice to put that down
Speaker 1: and kind of step away from every single responsibility in life.
Speaker 1: I think that you can step away from like you
Speaker 1: have no phone, no computer, no bills to pay, nothing,
Speaker 1: you can't do much. Um, but like, how do we
Speaker 1: all sign up for this time? Yeah, at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, it's actually really nice. And and so
Speaker 1: then when you get your phone back at the end
Speaker 1: of filming, it's like almost like a culture shock. Um,
Speaker 1: do you have like hundreds of texts? Show? Yeah, it's overwhelming,
Speaker 1: it's super overwhelming. Uh. For me personally, it was there
Speaker 1: was zero nerves involved in this one, just because I
Speaker 1: had been through so much both on the first one
Speaker 1: such a positive experience, the next one such negative experience.
Speaker 1: So I feel like I've already been through the ring.
Speaker 1: And it's funny too, because this is coming from someone
Speaker 1: who would blow off class in college because I was
Speaker 1: terrified to give like a group presentation from the entire
Speaker 1: class of twenty people. And now here we are on
Speaker 1: a TV show. It's being presented to thousands, hundreds of
Speaker 1: thousands of people, millions. Yeah. Um, And so it's just
Speaker 1: funny like once you I mean, I hate to say this,
Speaker 1: but once you do it enough times. I mean, I
Speaker 1: did three shows this year and Leslie never lets me
Speaker 1: hear the end of that. It's like you get to
Speaker 1: this level of comfortability, but then there's also like this
Speaker 1: bit that fights back to I noticed myself at Winter Games.
Speaker 1: I was like, it's kind of being a jerk in
Speaker 1: the interviews process sometimes, like I know what you want
Speaker 1: out of me, and I'm not like you're less You're
Speaker 1: you're more aware of the process, which means you're less
Speaker 1: willing to like open up. I guess in ways in
Speaker 1: certain ways because you've already opened up so much in
Speaker 1: the past, and um, there's so many things that kind
Speaker 1: of change like that you can't you can't do twenty
Speaker 1: reality TV shows because it's like the genuineness and the
Speaker 1: authenticity of like the first two is really what the
Speaker 1: people like to see, Um, but now they weren't really nervous.
Speaker 1: I guess same to Kevin, Like going into this one,
Speaker 1: it was fun to to be able to kind of
Speaker 1: like just hang out with a bunch of friends. But anyways,
