I'm not really something I do serious 21 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 2: is an interest of mine, you know. So I really 22 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 2: enjoy anything creative, poetry, music. I think that stimulates creation. 23 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: I like that's cool. Born in December not a Capricorn 24 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: but almost okay, almost Sagittarius. 25 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 2: And what does that mean? 26 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: So what does that mean? 27 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 2: What is what? What is Sagitarius? 28 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: Like time? 29 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 2: So interesting as Sagittarius can kind of morph to their partner, 30 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 2: like they can kind of adapt to whatever their partners like. 31 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,400 Speaker 2: Is that kind of like you? Yes? I actually that 32 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 2: actually is very true. I am adventurous, but I like 33 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 2: in a relationship, I tend to adapt to my partner's 34 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,040 Speaker 2: interests a lot, you know, So I'm not I'm not 35 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 2: just saying that's like really true. So so what happened? 36 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: You were in a seven year relationship, right, yes, sir? 37 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: And you adapted as well as you could. I adapted 38 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,960 Speaker 1: as well as I could. But you know, over time 39 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: or too much, and people grow apart. We actually were 40 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,199 Speaker 1: together in college and for most of my professional career 41 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: we were long distance and our lives just took different paths, 42 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: and that's something that happened. But I will say I 43 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 1: learned a lot from that relationship. Mostly did you learn? 44 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 2: What did you like? 45 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: What are the things? Because I do you know tany 46 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: and sicany both I don't know. They have different outlooks 47 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: on once you break up with somebody and leave a relationship, 48 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: you know, But I do believe that you can gain 49 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 1: and glean so much from that person that they are 50 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: should be cherished in a way. 51 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred percent. Like I I've moved on, but 52 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 2: I will always cherish that relationship. It taught me number 53 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 2: one too. When you are mad with your partner, you 54 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 2: can't Number one, you can't say things you don't mean. 55 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 2: And number two, you can't go to sleep anger. You 56 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 2: have to fix. I mean you can, but it's snowball. 57 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 2: So that's something that really I learned from that. Also, 58 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 2: I learned that a lot of times because you know me, 59 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 2: I like to work so much. You have to incorporate 60 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 2: time to put your partner's interest first. Like something that 61 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 2: in my past relationship, not to not to bring it up, 62 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 2: but she liked to go to Target and look at 63 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 2: rugs and I didn't really have an interest to do that, 64 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 2: but it's my favorite thing. To what you guys love 65 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 2: Target marshals, I'm in there for ten minutes and I'm 66 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 2: ready to leave, but just marking stress. Yeah he hates 67 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 2: it too, But over time, you have to, you know, 68 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 2: you have to. So there's gonna be some things that 69 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 2: your partner likes to do that you don't have to do. 70 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 2: But that's where sacrifice comes in. So that's something I learned. 71 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 2: And just thinking about the little things, you know that, 72 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 2: that's something I learned. So I learned a lot of 73 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,959 Speaker 2: things and I've grown from that. So now I was 74 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 2: an old man with bad knees. 75 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 1: I'm ready to my grant Elis the Bachelor. So what 76 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:17,399 Speaker 1: are you doing for work? 77 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 2: Every day? So I trade the markets.

Grant Ellis is here. 87 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: I'm falling for him. 88 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 2: I like your glasses right here.

The world was 91 00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: changed when Grant Ellis was born and lives in Houston 92 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: in Texas. Now he's on the Bachelor. 93 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 2: So here's the question. 94 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: Always good looking guy like yourself, charming, smart, professional basketball player, 95 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: played in college, went to school. 96 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 2: Why I did a. 97 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: Bachelor Yeah, honestly, so Bachelorette first, honestly Gen trans season. 98 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 2: Yeah. So coming out of that seven year relationship, I 99 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 2: was really hurt because I put a lot into it 100 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 2: and I just took a lot of time to myself 101 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 2: and I that's when I was moving out to Houston. 102 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 2: I was spend a lot of time with my grandparents 103 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 2: and my mom, and I was really digging into my faith. 104 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 2: And my mom signed me up for the show because 105 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 2: a lot of her friends were asking about man. I 106 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,159 Speaker 2: was just pushing, pushing them off and just working, and 107 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 2: she signed me up. And it kind of just happened 108 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 2: that way where I was coming out of that relationship, 109 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 2: I was really open, and I just got cast to 110 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 2: be on GEN season and then I got dumped and 111 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,799 Speaker 2: then they asked me to be a Bachelor. So things 112 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 2: just happened like that, and it was at the perfect 113 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 2: time in my healing process where things just were put 114 00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 2: together that way. 115 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 1: I mean, look, the bill or the promo photo is 116 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: worth the whole thing. You holding the rows with the 117 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 1: drimming smile. It's saying ABC and Hulu on the bottom 118 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: of it. Mondays it's worth it. It's all worth it. 119 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: So you want what do you want? Like, what do 120 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 1: you want? 121 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 2: Yeah? I genuinely want a long term commit relationship. I 122 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 2: think there's nothing better. Like it's easy to go and 123 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 2: find a connection, but to have somebody that's your best 124 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 2: friend and that you could really have loyalty and commitment 125 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 2: and it shows discipline and it's the honestly, in my opinion, 126 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 2: is the best way to live life. 127 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 1: I'm just thinking, I don't know what happens or where 128 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 1: you are because you did it all or what is 129 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: going to go? But does that does that look like 130 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:35,840 Speaker 1: marriage or just commitment without marriage? 131 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 2: So when when you're ready, marriage is it's a goal 132 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 2: of mind, you know, when you're ready marriages goal of mine. 133 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 2: And everybody has different opinions, there are different things that 134 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 2: come with it. But uh, marriage is commitment and it's 135 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:48,799 Speaker 2: you know, it's putting your mind to something and committing 136 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 2: to somebody and it's a symbol of that. So yeah, 137 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 2: marriage ultimately, do you like to date? No, I'm telling 138 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 2: you I was in a I was in a seven 139 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 2: year relationship and after that, I don't have much experience 140 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 2: for dating. So being thrown into a pool with twenty 141 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 2: five amazing women. I was kind of confused that I. 142 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: Saw you with the watch. 143 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,279 Speaker 2: I was like, you broke your watch at the beginning 144 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 2: this thing.

And did you get in a 148 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 2: little more comfortable as the season went on? Yeah, I 149 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 2: definitely got comfortable.
