He didn't talk about that 37 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 3: before going on The Bachelor. 38 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, he's not into it. 39 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 2: But I think it's working, and I think why, Like, why, 40 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 2: you know, change it when it's working. So I got 41 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 2: some cool shirtless picture pictures of Joey on my phone 42 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 2: right now that I'll be sharing with the world tonight. 43 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 2: Make sure you tune into my instagram if you want 44 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 2: to see Joey and a wig.

Like I'm always confused 48 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 3: if they did it the way American Idol used to 49 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 3: do the two part finale, and I know dansbe the 50 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 3: stars into but I think that's somehow they combine it into. 51 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 4: One night maybe. 52 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 2: I mean I wouldn't be shocked, like why would they 53 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 2: have it the day everybody's traveling for the holidays? 54 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 3: Because I thought that, And producer Hana, please let me 55 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 3: know if you know the answer to this. How do 56 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 3: they collaborate? Collaborate is definitely not the word. 57 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:45,839 Speaker 4: I don't know where you're looking for right now. 58 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 3: What's the tabulate to tabulate the votes? How do they 59 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 3: do that all in one episode? They're from America, I. 60 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 2: Mean they do it quite all. I mean it's pretty 61 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 2: they can probably do it pretty fast. Like these are 62 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 2: all text in. It probably goes into a big database 63 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 2: and spits out. I mean, if Joey doesn't win tonight. 64 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 3: This is me being a millennial who like doesn't realize 65 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 3: like with American Idol, we had to legit, you know, 66 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 3: we called in. We called in from the time that 67 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 3: the episode ended. We had a two hour voting window 68 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,119 Speaker 3: and then the next day they announced it to us. 69 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 3: And Hannah is telling me this, this is how little 70 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 3: I watched Dentic with the Stars. No offense to Joey 71 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 3: and all other Bachelor alung. But she said, because it's 72 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 3: Eastern time zone, they combine it with the judge's scores 73 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 3: and it's that fast because you just text the number. Okay, yeah, 74 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 3: So does that mean that only the East coast votes count? 75 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 4: Oh that's a big question. Actually, I don't know if 76 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 4: that's not. 77 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 3: Very fun with the Pacific you know, the Pacific fans 78 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 3: or the midd East, Midwestern fans or anything like that. Yes, 79 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 3: you could only text the number on Eastern time, so 80 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 3: basically you could vote on Pacific time, but you wouldn't 81 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 3: have been able. You would have to like go on 82 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 3: social media or something to see the dance if you 83 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 3: wanted to actually know if the dance was worthy of 84 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 3: your vote. 85 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, so you would. 86 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 2: You would have to, like you're just pretty much doing 87 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 2: a popularity contest. 88 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 4: Then yes, I don't know if I agree with this. 89 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 3: Then yeah, right, I mean I hope that all of 90 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 3: those people are watching on somebody's Instagram to make sure 91 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 3: that their dances is, you know, worthy of a vote. 92 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 2: Well, I'll be dancing, dancing, I'll be dancing for Joey 93 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 2: and I'll be voting for Joey tonight, and that starts 94 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 2: our first headline.

Supposedly. 143 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 4: No, we've talked about this before. 144 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 2: Any two single people who are in a like the 145 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 2: age and committed to finding love, it's harder and harder 146 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 2: to just be friends for too long. And they've pushed 147 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 2: the boundary now on their social media to where they 148 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 2: hit at them not just being friends, like you don't 149 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 2: have your best girlfriend and you're both attractive. People sleep 150 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 2: over at your house just to like. 151 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 3: Hang out, and that's what it seems is going on. 152 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 3: Like in this video, she says, first, honey, honey, can 153 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 3: you teach me a dance for my birthday? And then 154 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 3: he's like, no, why are you even in my house still? 155 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 3: She's like, honey, can you teach me a dance? Why 156 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 3: are you in my house still? Maybe y'all come over tomorrow. 157 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 2: I think there's no question that there is an attraction 158 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 2: and some type of something going on more than friendship, 159 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 2: and I'm happy for him. I mean, that's great. We 160 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 2: see this from Dancing with the Stars quite often. I 161 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 2: think that's why at the beginning of the season, if 162 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 2: you remember, it feels like forever ago, you had the 163 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 2: Joey and Jenna situation where people are like, they're so 164 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 2: flirty and they're so close to each other, and Kelsey 165 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 2: came out and it's like, yeah, they're dancing back off, 166 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 2: stop these comments. But you see it with single people 167 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 2: on the show is because it is a very intimate process. 168 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 3: But what's so exciting right now and why I feel 169 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 3: and you feel invested in this is because Jen was 170 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 3: so screwed over by Devin and so recently that we 171 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 3: like the fact exactly I had to remember his name 172 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 3: for a minute. We just love that she jumps into 173 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 3: Dancing with the Stars as a last minute add on 174 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 3: because she was so screwed over and now she could 175 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 3: be finding love again with her partner, and it's great. 176 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 3: It's kind of just like the second chance that we 177 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 3: want her to get to have. And then I just 178 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:01,319 Speaker 3: need to read this quote that he haptioned his birthday 179 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 3: post to her. It's someone's birthday today. That already sounds flirting, 180 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 3: So glad our paths cross at the last second. You 181 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,679 Speaker 3: have been nothing but a joy to work with.

Like if I ever 195 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 2: said that to Jess, like, you know what, You've been 196 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 2: a pleasure to work with, I. 197 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 3: Know, Well that's the beginning, and then he evolves it 198 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,040 Speaker 3: into you make me laugh but I'm down, saved, I 199 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 3: realize that life is one big dance and we're going 200 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 3: to dance together through it. 201 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, just beautiful. He crushed it at the end there. 202 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 4: If anybody's wondering. 203 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 2: Kelsey is also very supportive of Joey going into the 204 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 2: Dancing with the Stars finale, she had a TikTok just 205 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 2: explaining her admiration for Joey and his commitment to the process. 206 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 2: It's awesome to see how well she's not handled it, 207 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 2: because this doesn't feel like something to be handled. She's 208 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 2: just been amazing to see how their relationship has probably 209 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 2: gotten stronger and probably had some really difficult moments too 210 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 2: as he's gone through this process, and it's coming to 211 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 2: an end, so the two of them will be able 212 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 2: to be back together without the stage, without the dancing, 213 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 2: you know, practices. But it's great to see a partner 214 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 2: support a partner, and Kelsey has been that partner through 215 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 2: the whole thing. Well yeah, talking about Bachelor Nation stars 216 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:07,319 Speaker 2: supporting others, the headline is this see inside Andy Dorfman's 217 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 2: baby shower, and the question is which Bachelor Nation stars attended. 218 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 3: The Bachelor Nation stars that attended include Hannah Ann and 219 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 3: Tasha Well.

But also 224 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 3: I guess Tasha and Andy, but Tasia Andy were both lead, 225 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 3: so that makes me feel like she went to her 226 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 3: for advice and stuff. So yeah, they had a big 227 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 3: backyard bash and Andy called Tasha anti Tasha, so they 228 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 3: obviously are very close. 229 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 2: They are very close.

Some people are asking in the 353 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,920 Speaker 3: comments like why a second proposal? And I think if 354 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 3: you've been on The Bachelor, you understand the reason to 355 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,680 Speaker 3: do a second proposal is because, like, the worst proposal 356 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,640 Speaker 3: is well, you dumb somebody else the same day, so 357 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 3: it feels a little weird, and then you kind of 358 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 3: a lot of you consider after the proposal, then you 359 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,400 Speaker 3: really start to date, and so the second proposal is like, hey, 360 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 3: this is like actually our real life proposal. 361 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not for everybody, I don't think, but I 362 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 2: think as a couple, you kind of feel like your 363 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 2: relationship has changed so much since that time on the show. Yeah, 364 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 2: that it is in a sense, it's a recommitment and 365 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 2: it's also a reminder. And then it's also I think 366 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 2: it's really sweet to show that, hey, this show did 367 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 2: this for us. We met and it worked, like we 368 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 2: actually did love each other and we are meant to 369 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 2: be together. But that's been years ago, and now we're 370 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 2: ready to actually start the process of planning a wedding 371 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 2: and getting married. And if a few years have gone on, 372 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 2: I think it's nice to kind of say, hey, we're 373 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,639 Speaker 2: still doing this deal, like this is still us. So 374 00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 2: I think that's probably it. I think it's different for everybody. 375 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 2: I get it. I understand why it would be not 376 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 2: like something that almost felt necessary, especially because, like you said, 377 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 2: the proposal day is sweet and it's nice and I 378 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 2: don't take it away from anybody does it, and that's 379 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 2: how they've proposed.
