Last time, 0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:55.400 last time I talked to you, you were a net 0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:58.440 was I was in NAPA and I was just filled. 0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:00.840 I was a passive listener in the a lobby of 0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:04.160 uh whatever. I don't know what you guys were talking about, 0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:07.440 and you had just informed Ben and Ashley. Well, Ben 0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:10.240 Out actually was already obviously in the know, but Ben 0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:13.440 was informed that you are opening a restaurant in Rhode Island, 0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:16.720 coffee shop. Yes, it is true. We're opening up a 0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:20.679 coffee shop slash lounge, which we're extremely excited about. I've 0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:22.319 been working hard about it. It's been my dream to 0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:25.600 own and operate my own business. I've worked in the restaurant, 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:29.160 you know, the restaurant industry for like ten years, and 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:32.360 so an opportunity came along where we found a spot 0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:34.240 that we loved. It actually used to be a coffee 0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:36.360 shop that I visited quite a bit. And it's down 0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:38.320 in South Kingston, Rhode Island, so near the beach, is 0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:41.440 about twenty minutes from Newport, and it's gonna be called 0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:45.600 Audrey's Coffeehouse and Lounge. Audrey is my mother in law's name, 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:47.640 So one, I'm sucking up to the in laws, which 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:49.400 is always a good thing. And two, I just love 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:52.920 the name. Audrey's feels very homey and family and that's 0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:54.720 what the vibe I want to go for with this 0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:57.080 coffee shop. Very you know, we have stone fireplace in 0:01:57.160 --> 0:02:02.000 their couches chairs. I really people to imagine themselves in 0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:05.160 front of a fireplace on a crisp fall day, having 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:07.200 either a coffee or a martini. That's kind of the 0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:11.200 viber going for while sitting on like a red couch. Um, 0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:13.520 and we're using Ben already knew about coffee shop as well, 0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:15.080 because I talked to Ben about it a few months ago. 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:18.360 Because we're gonna be using Generous Coffee as our main vendor, 0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:22.359 because I love Generous obviously, I love all coffee, I 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:24.720 love Dunk, and I love Green Mountain. I also love Generous, 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:27.079 and Generous is just such a great company. It's a nonprofit. 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:29.919 Ben is the owner and operator of it, and and 0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:33.440 it's just one great tasting coffee, which is obviously probably 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:35.560 the most important part because people are coming in for 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:37.520 the coffee, but to all the profits go back to 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:41.720 you know, hope and humanity, which helps build UM Housing, 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:44.840 which you have been a part of greatly. You've been 0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:49.800 down to Hunters with Ben Um, so that's great. And 0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:52.840 then just getting things everything organized right now, going through 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:55.600 getting the business license, creating a new LC, applying for 0:02:55.639 --> 0:03:01.280 a liquor license, getting furniture and their equipment, hiring people, um, 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:05.640 you know, computer system health department approval um. There's just 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:07.360 a lot of red tape they have to go through. 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:09.600 I enjoy every step of it, but it's nerve racking 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:11.320 because I'm doing it all by myself and there's just 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:14.960 a lot to be done. And you know, when we 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:16.920 first did this, Ashley wanted to be a part of 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:18.840 it as well, you know. She you know, I was 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:20.760 gonna handle parbatly like the business part, but she would 0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:23.080 help with the menu and the interior decorating. And that 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:25.480 just hasn't been the case unfortunately right now, just because 0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:29.680 Ashley has been so debilitated, and dude, it sucks. Like listen, 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:33.000 I'm so happy that we're pregnant. We were trying for 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:36.200 seven months to get pregnant. Some people try for five years. 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:38.720 You know. We are so happy and lucky. I've always 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:40.960 wanted to be a father. I'm so excited to be 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:44.280 a father. But dude, Ashley is just getting crushed and 0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:47.960 I feel terrible. She's I'm not joking. She's thrown up 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:51.600 four times already today. It is three o'clock on Friday. 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:53.600 And to the point she threw up, she's like so 0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:57.120 uncontrollably sick. She pissed on the floor. That might be 0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:59.200 a little too much information, but like as she was 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:02.120 throwing up, she couldn't like control herself. And it's like, 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:05.400 I know, everybody is different in some pregnancies aren't that 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:07.600 bad and some people get really sick. But whatever Ash 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:12.040 is going through just is tough. And so it's been, uh, 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:14.560 it's been a hectic day to say the least. So 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:16.520 that's why maybe I'm a little bit on edge on that. 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:18.240 And I feel bad because she's just laying on the 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:20.440 couch right now and she's just you know, she was 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:23.960 throwing up on the couch, and um, it just sucks. 0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:26.440 I feel bad anyway. All right, Well, a lot of 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:27.760 a lot of notes because I feel like you just 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:29.520 covered a lot of grounds and I didn't make sure 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:32.360 I get to each thing. I had that all built up, 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:34.800 you know, and just let it explode out. Thanks for 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:37.279 the events session. I'm glad to help my second and 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:40.720 can be your events session, all right, just to start 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:42.360 from the beginning. So there's a couple of notes that 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:44.920 I want to at least touch real quick. So about 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:47.320 it's a cafe you called it right, Yeah, it's gonna 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:50.200 be a ca, Yeah, cafe, coffee house. The technical name. 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:51.760 We're going with this coffee house because I really like 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.440 the sound of that. Got you. That will lead into 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:57.080 one of the questions I have later on Audrey's. I 0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:59.360 just want to comment on name. Audrey's love the name 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:01.920 it's TI unless it's it seems like one of those 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:04.640 names that when you're walking through a cute little town, 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:06.720 you'd be like, let's go to Addres and grab a 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:08.720 quick cup of coffee. So kudos to you for that 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:12.520 name very well. Um, are you going to be manning 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:15.280 the shop most of the time, Yeah, so I will be, 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:18.080 especially early on because I wanted to be run the 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:22.640 way I wanted to be runned ran um. And I 0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:24.560 also want to be the owner and operator and I 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:26.760 want to, you know, Ashley and I are most certainly 0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:28.360 going to be the face of this place, and I 0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:31.200 want to, you know, be behind the counter and making drinks. 0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:34.440 That's where I thrive as well. I just love uh, 0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:37.560 I love running around. Uh. You know, anybody who's worked 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:39.840 in the restaurant industry knows that. You know, as much 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:42.159 as we complain about it, there is an addiction to it. 0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:45.479 And when you're running around behind the bar or the 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:47.600 counter doing whatever you need to do to get people 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:49.839 in and out. There is this high that you get 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:52.040 and I certainly get that, and I'm excited for that. 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:54.599 And I'm also excited just to you know, introduce myself 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:57.080 as the owner. You know. That's It's it's nice going 0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:59.359 around and people even when I put a banner up 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:01.280 the other day and on in front of the shop 0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:04.000 just to say, you know, Audrey's coffeehouse and lounge coming soon, 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:07.160 and um, you know, people are like, oh, you're You're 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:09.680 opening the coffee shop here. We're so excited when we 0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:12.720 missed it because the plaza that we're in, there's condominiums, 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:14.720 there's a hotel, there's a private neighborhood, so there's a 0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:17.360 lot of people already living in the area, which is great, 0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:19.600 and it seems like there's a lot of people excited 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:21.800 to have a coffee shop back in that plaza. So 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:23.960 it's cool just being like, yep, on the one opening 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:26.640 it and this is what we're doing. And it's certainly 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:30.040 nerve racking, um, just because you know, it's it's not cheap, 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:33.840 but you know, anything worth doing is worth investing in. 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:36.000 So that's the kind of way I'm thinking about it 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:39.719 right now. Um. Follow up question to that, can I 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:41.560 be hired as a part time employee? I would like 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:43.479 to work. I would like to work at Audrey's for 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:47.159 one week a year, okay, and I want to do 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:50.239 it solely as you know what you wy. It's funny 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:54.200 is like you have obviously like you and your friends, 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:56.960 Like let's say like me, Ben Nick, you Tanner, like 0:06:57.279 --> 0:06:59.640 we've done. Then this is gonna sound super vague and narcissistic, 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:02.000 but like it's gonna be there's a point to it, 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:05.080 Like we'll get paid by bars or like by events 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:08.839 to like show up and just like say hi to people, 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:11.640 and so you could like leverage your friendships and be like, listen, 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:13.680 just come to the coffee shop for a like a day, 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:16.160 a couple of hours maybe, and that enough to like 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:18.040 be like draw some people in. So hopefully like that. 0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:21.000 Oh dude, I've already thought, like I'm gonna have Bachelor 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.120 watch parties. I'm gonna fly you guys out. So it's 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:25.360 gonna be like, come meet Dean from the Bachelor, you know, 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:28.560 come meet Dean and Kalin while watching you listen, You're 0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:30.200 gonna do it and you're gonna like it, and you 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:32.880 have no say in the matter, I'm offering my services 0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:35.640 as a barista, not as a passive participant in a 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:37.680 watch party. Okay, I want to I want to work 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:41.360 this the five am to one pm shift Monday through Friday, 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:43.440 one week a year, and that's all I'm offering. And 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:45.679 I want to make whatever minimum wage in Rhode Island 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:48.880 is or whatever barrices make, whatever the running wages for 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:51.840 it is that Okay, I mean that sounds fantastic to me. 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:55.040 I would love nothing more. Great. Um, And then let's 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:56.400 move on to the next thing. Okay, So what was 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:59.200 the next thing? You were talking about? The burden that 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:02.880 you feel starting stuff? How come I know that you're 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:05.400 about to finish up your bachelor's Yep, you should have 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:07.960 taken more entrepreneurship classes or have you have you considered 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:11.440 even like doing like a minor entrepreneurship or anything. I 0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:13.760 have not. I really just went back to school to 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:15.880 get my degree as fast as humanly possible, and the 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:18.440 way to do that was to graduate with my degree 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:20.800 in history liberal Arts. So I actually just finished my 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:23.200 last class. I took my final exam yesterday. I got 0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:24.760 a ninety four on it. So it looks like I'm 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:27.000 gonna get an a minus in the class and then 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:30.080 I'm done. It's so weird, man, Like, it's just like, okay, great, yeah, 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:32.400 now I have my bachelor's. Like cool on a Thursday, 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:35.080 you're gonna walk aut graduation. No, I don't think so, 0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:37.400 because I have to apply for graduation in August. They 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:38.920 were just waiting for my last grade to come back 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:41.520 to make sure I passed, and so I don't think 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:47.800 about it. I definitely should would graduation. I'll fly out 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:50.360 and watch you walk with all. Right, well, if if 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:52.360 I'm allowed to, like for code restrictions and all that 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:55.199 kind of stuff, well hopefully hopefully things don't get worse. 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:57.400 But you know, everyone of your family would love it, 0:08:57.400 --> 0:08:59.480 actually would love to see it. Your parents, her parents, 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:02.480 like everyone. They would be like a big, big spectacle. 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:04.400 I think that's definitely something you should at least consider, 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:07.440 don't just immediately discount the idea. Um. And then my 0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:13.920 very last question. Ashley is now three months along, right, 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:17.440 yeah she is. She'll be fourteen weeks next week, so 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:20.920 she's a little over. There is this ordinary for because 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:23.440 like I wouldn't I mean, again, knowing nothing when it 0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:25.320 comes to pregnant or anything like that. I would just 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:29.840 assume that the real sickness, like the real like side 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:32.120 effects would come later in the pregnancy. Is this pretty 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:35.920 standard for like earlier first second trimester? So apparently the 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:41.480 first trimester usually is the most sick you'll be. Um, yeah, 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:45.040 I but it depends, like you know, it's so it's 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:46.960 so weird. I was talking to a friend of mine, 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:49.800 she has to two kids, and she was like, oh, yeah, 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:51.680 my first trimester, I was. I was pretty in bad 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:54.080 shape too, but I only threw up once. And I 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:56.880 was like, Ashley has thrown up I'm not joking, probably 0:09:56.880 --> 0:10:00.360 fifty times. And so she's just I think um are 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:02.040 more extreme than others. And we all knew that if 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:04.040 Ashley was gonna get sick, she was gonna be throwing 0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:06.720 up constantly, because you know, she can't do anything subtlety. 0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:10.959 Uh So I just at some point, it's starting to like, 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:14.120 there are there are moments when she feels like she's 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:16.880 trending in the right direction. We'll she'll go a couple 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:19.720 of days and feel you know, okay, but then she'll 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:22.280 immediately revert and go back to a daylight today where 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:23.959 she can't get off the couch and she's just throwing 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:26.319 up constantly, so I think she's definitely got one of 0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:28.640 the worst of it. You know. It was funny because Raven, 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:32.360 Raven and Adam just announced their pregnancy, which is so exciting. 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:35.040 Congratulations to both them. They're gonna be incredible parents. That 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:38.040 I've only met Adam and Raven once, but I really 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:40.400 really liked them a lot and I wish them nothing 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:42.400 but the best. But it was so funny. Raven and 0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:46.240 Ashley were talking before Raven and Adam announced, and um, 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:48.800 Raven was like, oh, have you thrown up yet? And 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:53.400 as she was like have I thrown up yet? She's 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:57.720 puking into a garbage bag. Um. So it all depends. 0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:00.560 Like I don't mean to scare anybody, it's just I 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:02.760 think it's frustrating as a guy because I was so 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:06.600 ignorant to how bad, you know, how sick somebody could 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:09.600 possibly be while being pregnant, you know, I mean everybody 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:11.800 says morning sickness, and I'm like, oh, it's okay, you 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:13.240 get sick in the morning and then you can feel 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:15.200 better in the afternoon and the evening. Like, no, that's 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:18.120 not what happens. And then I knew, like I think 0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:20.800 I've just seen from TVs and movies, Like I remember 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:24.960 from Knocked Up when Katherine Heigel realizes she's pregnant when 0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:27.000 she's interviewing James Franco, and she just like goes to 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:29.480 the side and throws up, and then she's watching it 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:31.720 back and then she's laughing, and then she just throws up. 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:33.920 And that's when Bill Hayters like, wait a minute, you pregnant. 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:35.839 So I in my head, I was like, Okay, that 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:37.520 just kind of happens, like you just throw up to 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:39.079 the side, and then you go on with your day 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:41.720 and you're not nauseous all that much, which is not 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:45.040 what's happening to Ash. It's pretty bad, asked. If you 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:47.760 think about it, a one pound baby fetus is calling 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:51.360 the shots, you know. Oh yeah, dude, our our kid 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:55.360 is h If there's any indication our kid is gonna 0:11:55.400 --> 0:12:00.000 be uh high maintenance to say the last, good for them. 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:02.240 All Right, Well, ja, we gotta get to a quick 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:04.439 break because we have some great guests coming up.

I'm 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:43.280 a busy dude. You know, my my uh my careers 0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:44.640 were listening in the the best sor I travel a lot, 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:47.240 so it's hard for me to actually you know, find people, 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:50.920 actually make general connections, you know. So Love is was 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:52.920 was a great place for me to be isolated and 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:55.200 just get to know somebody one on one and hopefully 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:59.360 to build something. But you gotta see how that happened. Well, 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:01.719 house things go for you right now? Like how is uh? 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:07.040 I know you're what's going on with your with Olivia? Right? Yeah? 0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:10.400 I was. I was coming up with Olivia, and uh 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:12.320 it was you know, it was great. I tried, I 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:15.319 tried my best, you know to make things work with us. Um, 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:17.440 you know, because she obviously she was coming into the villa, 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:20.280 she was there, she was a businesswoman. I'm I'm attracted 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:23.160 to business minded women, and um I was seeing something 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:25.680 co work there and um, you know, there was sparks. 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:28.040 But then eventually it just faded. I wasn't her type. 0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:30.680 I guess you know she's she's lasting the girl. I'm 0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:33.560 a South Florida dou so you know I'm outgoing wild 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:36.360 and wild individually. I speak my mind. I tell you 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:38.800 how this, and you know, I guess I wasn't her speed. 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:40.280 You know I wasn't. I wasn't a speed and what 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:43.400 she was looking for, so you know, And again dumped 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:46.640 from the island and I shaved my chest. Save shaved 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:51.000 your chest. I've never seen somebody grabbing clippers so fast 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:54.160 and everything. I'm like, baby, you gotta listen to me. 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:56.960 Let's let's at least making a castle more like the 0:14:57.400 --> 0:15:01.640 fin did so when I was when I was on Bachelorette, 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:03.160 I was one of we had a boxing day and 0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:05.160 I was one of the only guys that had hair 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:07.320 on my chest. And so when I went on Bachelor 0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:10.040 in Paradise, the producers were like, hey, listen, we have 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:13.200 this really funny idea for your intro. What if we 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:15.680 shaved your chest? And it was like forty year old 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:17.720 virgin And I was like, there's no way to do that, Like, no, 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:19.800 I can't do it, guys. I like the chest hair. 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:22.520 I gotta support the chest hair on one of the few, 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:24.840 so I'm not gonna latch Javonna. I'm a little disappointed 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:26.520 to shade, but that's okay. I get it. I get 0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:30.320 it real man, man, Yeah, I don't shave my face. 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:35.320 Say boy, I said it now, bad face, now going ahead, 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:37.120 and now like I was trying to make it work, 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:38.840 and you know I was. I was just doing too 0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:42.240 much to make us work too. You know. Just see 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:45.400 what she liked and that just just me. Jesus didn't 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:47.600 like me. Yeah, she's got to accept you for you 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:51.560 chest hair, facial hair, everything. I feel like, I feel 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:52.920 like the chess hair would be good to not have 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:55.040 on the beach, either Love Island or Bachelor in Paradise 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:57.840 because then it's like, okay, you lost the underlayer. You know, 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:00.920 that's like a little sweater. But that's okay. It's more 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:04.200 of like, you know, just like chest. You know, hey, 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:07.080 when you get caught, got the chest they keep warm 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:10.760 at night. You know, that's nice to give you guys 0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:13.040 a c um. We didn't get that. We didn't get 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:14.840 that that luxury. But sickle, I want to hear from you, man, 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:19.640 tell us about your experience, because you were dating uh cash, right, yes, 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:23.160 dating cash and a couple of cash still going to 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:26.240 know each other. Then, Um, I don't know. She kind 0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:28.480 of like I didn't feel a vibe at least she 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:29.600 as she wanted to open up to me, you know 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:31.400 what I mean, And that's all I was looking forward 0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:33.920 for her, and so I moved the trainer to see 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:37.320 how that connection would go. And after that, I felt 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:39.600 like between the two connections I made, my connection with 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:42.720 Cash was a lot stronger, so I want to pursue that, 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:44.680 but by that time it was kind of too late. 0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:48.240 Cost some more happened, and then she came back to Charlie. 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:50.840 So I was kind of stuck in window like day, 0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:55.400 like a yeah, bro it really it was a good check. 0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:57.080 I's how everybody. I was like Dann like, I'm mentally 0:16:57.120 --> 0:16:59.240 I was trump andre paring for it, but obviously it 0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:02.800 wasn't prepared to as I wanted to be, so uh yeah, 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:04.560 I was just like Dagn. I was a little bit 0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:07.120 spain whatever. The girl I wanted close in to see 0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:09.480 if other people can come in here and sway me 0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:12.520 and stuff like that obviously didn't work out. I got 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:15.480 the boot for it too, and the money we're here, man, 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:20.760 we all know out was still sucking. Sorry you guys, 0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:22.439 I feel I'm a feeling you guys are gonna be 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:25.639 just fine. I think. So when you finally got the 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:27.560 call to be like, hey, we want you to be 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:29.800 on Love Island, what was your initial thoughts? Were you 0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:32.439 hesitant at all? Or you were like in, I'm in, 0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:37.680 obviously this will be a great experience, new experience, and 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:40.639 so I never did before, and so I'm all about that. 0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:42.960 I'm all about new experiences and trying things new and 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:45.160 me new people solid you know this is gonna be dupe. 0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:48.879 I was ready. I was suwer ready. So I'm a 0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:50.840 little unfamiliar with Love Island, like the way that it's 0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:53.440 isn't it Like, so you cast means that are still there, 0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:56.639 They're still there like now right, like it basically films 0:17:56.640 --> 0:17:59.520 and then gets there the next day, right literally, yeah, 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:01.600 both of you. So both of you guys haven't even 0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:04.680 really had a chance then to like see if there's 0:18:04.680 --> 0:18:06.760 gonna be any type of connection outside a Love Island 0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:08.439 with the people that you're with. I mean, we we 0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:11.600 got an idea, we got an idea of who who's 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:13.800 who's a true connection? You know being in the villa, 0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:16.200 you know, like like you know, you know, you know 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:19.640 what's real and Russ fake. You know, we're not kids 0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:22.000 hit so you know, Josh and Shannon, that's definitely a 0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:25.399 real connection. Um, I feel like that was the strongest 0:18:25.400 --> 0:18:27.359 connection there, Josh and Shannon, like they hit offs in 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:30.159 this day one Oh no, bro will and heroes like 0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:33.679 that too, though, well we're right, we will. Carol was 0:18:33.760 --> 0:18:36.360 like that. But like for me, like I really see 0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:38.440 that Josh and Shannon will take it, you know, above 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:41.760 and beyond, like the last longer outside the villa. Well then, Giovanni, 0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:43.520 for you, do you think once Olivia is out of there, 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:45.200 do you think that there's any chance for you guys 0:18:45.240 --> 0:18:51.520 to rekindle anything? Man, that was the last trip. That 0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:54.639 was Olivia's last trip, Like like if like if you 0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:56.600 as being in the villa, you know should like tell 0:18:56.680 --> 0:18:57.920 you know, we have all the time in the world. 0:18:57.920 --> 0:19:00.200 It gets to know each other and just just been 0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:02.919
