I was extremely I 30 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: got out of the limo and I freaked out, like 31 00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,040 Speaker 1: I couldn't I couldn't even like make a sentence, and 32 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: that was like, but they edited to make it look 33 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: like you could talk just fine. Right, Yeah, Well I 34 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: I walked up and said, I forgot everything. I was 35 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: gonna say, Well, I think that's I mean, so that's you, 36 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: Like you've literally, in your failures, turned into I'm not kidding, 37 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 1: one of the most endearing people that America has ever seen. 38 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: Well thank you. Well that's not a couple of minute 39 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 1: I'm saying in your failures like I'm it's it's just 40 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 1: it's after me too. I wasn't expecting it, you know, 41 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: after that first after going when when I went home, 42 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, no one's gonna remember me. That was 43 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: it so long? You know, I mean, what is it. 44 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: I'm sitting here again preparing for this and talking to 45 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 1: you makes me nervous. I mean, like, it's not you 46 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 1: sucking at this. There's something about you, Joe that's like 47 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: oddly endearing for everybody involved, and yet nobody can put 48 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: their finger on it. Yeah, you're a good looking dude. Great, 49 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 1: good for you, but there's something about who you are 50 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 1: as a person that has attracted the billions to grocery 51 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,519 Speaker 1: store Joe. You know what I think it's I think 52 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 1: people watching, everybody would be nervous in that situation because 53 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: it's nerve wracking. And I think I do a pretty 54 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: good job of showing that I'm nervous. Like I didn't. 55 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: I didn't try to hide it, like I knew, like 56 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: like I'm gonna be awkward on TV because I'm not 57 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: used to having these cameras in front of me, and 58 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: it's a lot of pressure. And even even just approaching 59 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: a beautiful woman like Becca, I'm like, you know, I'm 60 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: in a suit. I don't wear suits like ever, so 61 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: I'm like I was just I don't know, I was nervous, 62 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: and I think people could appreciate that. Are you nervous 63 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: right now? Um? I mean a little bit, not like 64 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: I was the first night. So some people when they 65 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: get nervous. I was looking this up right now and 66 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: Google a lot of people when they get nervous talk more. 67 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: The most people here as I was research and seemed 68 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: to by studies, found to talk more than than they 69 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: kind of shut down. You shut down, and there's something 70 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: about you, Joe. We're gonna get a little deep here 71 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: for a second. When you shut down, you get away 72 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: with it. Like for me, I feel like if I 73 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: just sat and stopped talking like you do and giggled 74 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: and smiled and just sat there, I would come off 75 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:33,679 Speaker 1: as the weirdest, creepiest, most odd person alive. But there's 76 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 1: something about you, Joe that you do that you get 77 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 1: away with doing nothing, and people love you. Now it's great. 78 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 1: I'm jealous. I mean it's a good I guess I'm 79 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: very envious. Yeah, I don't know why it works. I 80 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 1: really don't. I'm shocked by all this.

I feel like 320 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 1: you're going to carry the weight for a while on 321 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: this franchise of the guy that everybody's going to be 322 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: a little confused by because you're only on for such 323 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 1: a short amount of time, also saddened by because we 324 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: didn't get to watch you more, and a huge fan 325 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 1: of everybody's gonna be a huge fan of you because 326 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,680 Speaker 1: you really are the type of guy that kind of 327 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 1: draws people in. Like Amy was saying, as we were 328 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 1: prepping for this podcast, you can't say where you're at, 329 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 1: but if she lives with you and she's been out 330 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 1: with a lot of people from this show in public, 331 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: the attention and love that you get is beyond anything 332 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 1: a lot of people have ever seen. And it's deserved, man, 333 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,120 Speaker 1: it's really deserved. You say things go well because I 334 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 1: I see the spark with you and Kendall obviously on 335 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: the episodes we've seen. If things go well, would you move? 336 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 1: Would she move? Are you going to try and date? 337 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 1: Would you be open to that? Like do you like California? Well, 338 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 1: if things go well, you know, we would. I think 339 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 1: we would have to we would have to talk about 340 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 1: possibly splitting that up a little bit. But I love 341 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 1: California and Chicago winters are ruined. The worst place in 342 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:56,440 Speaker 1: the world, it really is. That's the most beautiful place 343 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,680 Speaker 1: in the summer, the worst place in the one I 344 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,400 Speaker 1: wouldn't blame you forgetting now that. But Joe, you don't 345 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: seem like the kind of California guy to me, Like, 346 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,919 Speaker 1: I think being a Chicago guy has a certain amount 347 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,439 Speaker 1: just a Chicago person has a certain certain amount of 348 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:15,159 Speaker 1: grit to it. Could you handle the California lifestyle. You 349 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,400 Speaker 1: know what, I don't know really early here, like five 350 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,639 Speaker 1: thirty is no problem for us. It is definitely a 351 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 1: different lifestyle. Um, but I am more laid back. I 352 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,160 Speaker 1: mean it is more that laid back lifestyle. But I'm 353 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 1: I think I'm laid back. Do you like taxidermy, Yeah, 354 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with it at all. Like 355 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: when yeah, I think Kendall last, She's like, did you 356 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 1: ever see a dead body? I'm like, yeah, you know, 357 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 1: I think she thought I was going to be like, 358 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 1: oh my god, that's so crazy. Did you see your 359 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: grandma or something? My uncle? Yeah, I mean I saw 360 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,920 Speaker 1: my uncle's that I walked in on, my uncle that 361 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: passed away. Uh, as well, So I'm with you on that, Joe. 362 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,399 Speaker 1: It's not it's not something that you really want to 363 00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:00,680 Speaker 1: live through again. But its body my great grandma. Yeah, 364 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,640 Speaker 1: it was like an open casket. That's a very strange thing, 365 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:10,120 Speaker 1: which this is I'm talking different than just opens. Yeah. Yeah, 366 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 1: we were pretty close. I like walked in the house 367 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 1: and he was same. It was pretty bad. Yeah, this 368 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: is traumatic. It was so okay, Joe. This is a 369 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 1: good segue then, because somebody asks you. So there's two 370 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,640 Speaker 1: things that the ways look at this. Somebody asks you, 371 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: like Kendall, because I've experienced the same thing as you, 372 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: I know it still sticks with me today walking in 373 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 1: on that um. Somebody asks you that that you can 374 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 1: view it two ways. One of two ways. Either once 375 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 1: she really cares and wants to hear that because she 376 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 1: knows it's traumatic, she knows it will affect your life 377 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 1: long term. Or two it's just an odd question and 378 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,360 Speaker 1: you take it as an odd question that's a little 379 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 1: bit offensive and a little bit weird. When Kendall asks 380 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,400 Speaker 1: you this, how do you take it? Initially? I take 381 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: it as her showing off her personality that she's not 382 00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,440 Speaker 1: scared to talk about anything. And I think to see 383 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,680 Speaker 1: how I would play with that, and and I didn't 384 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,439 Speaker 1: want to bring up like that's a that's something that's 385 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 1: was a really like sad thing that happened to me 386 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: in my life. And I didn't want to talk about 387 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 1: that on the show the first day. And I didn't 388 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 1: think she was pushing for that. I think she was 389 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: just being fun and silly. And I didn't take an 390 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 1: offensive at all. There's not I don't I don't really 391 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 1: get offended too easily. Yeah, I get that. I kind 392 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 1: of looked at it as you're right, like playing showing 393 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: off a personality. She kind of has this way tell 394 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong, because we're watching we're all fans 395 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,680 Speaker 1: of the show. You know, I don't know Kendall really 396 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: at all. She kind of has this way of saying, 397 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: how far can I creep you out? Until you stand 398 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: up and stop getting creeped out? And then I'm just 399 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:41,880 Speaker 1: a really cool, funny person that you're actually gonna enjoy 400 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 1: being around because we can talk about anything. Is that her? 401 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: Is that who she is exactly? Yeah? And I was 402 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 1: pretty uh good at calling her out on that. I 403 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: actually hung out with Kendall a few times, and I 404 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: think she's pretty deep, do you know what I mean? 405 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,640 Speaker 1: Her sister is too. They're very like um, which you're 406 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: not going to just talk about the weather like you 407 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 1: can really talk about like stuff. Yeah, she's very intelligent. 408 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: Yeah she knows what she's doing. Awesome, that's good. But 409 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 1: here's my thing. Here's the interesting part about the show. 410 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 1: If anybody asked me that on a first day outside 411 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: of being in Paradise or on the back even kind 412 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: of on the Bachelor. I guess I would be super 413 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,160 Speaker 1: creeped out, like really creeped out by it. It It would 414 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,440 Speaker 1: be a red flag on your your odd your minds 415 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: in a different place than me. But you just kept 416 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: going with it. Was it because you kind of knew 417 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 1: Kindle was semi normal just from watching her in the past. 418 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 1: I didn't even watch her in the past, but I 419 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,399 Speaker 1: I don't know. I just wasn't creeped out by it. 420 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,640 Speaker 1: That doesn't bother me. Now she would have talked about 421 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 1: it the entire time, then I would have been like, Okay, 422 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,239 Speaker 1: this is clearly an obsession, and I don't know if 423 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:48,959 Speaker 1: I'm comfortable with that, but I, um, yeah, I just 424 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,439 Speaker 1: thought for me, it was just it was her showing 425 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,439 Speaker 1: off her personality and I like that. It's interesting, and 426 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: that's what I was looking for coming on the show, 427 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 1: was something different, you know, That's what I was gonna ask. 428 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,679 Speaker 1: Are you looking for something like this or something to 429 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 1: shake it up? Were you super excited me? At this point, 430 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: you're probably already getting like Joe should be the Bachelor tweets, 431 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: and so you had your mindset on what if you 432 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 1: find somebody in paradise you no longer have the option 433 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:18,199 Speaker 1: to be a Bachelor was that? Were you okay with that? Yeah? Absolutely, 434 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: I mean I think, um, the whole all the Bachelor 435 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,479 Speaker 1: talks to me. Of course, I've thought about it. I 436 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 1: think I think everybody that goes on the show thinks 437 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: about it because it is a possibility. Um. I don't 438 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: know how I would handle it. I don't know if 439 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: I would accept it, um, but I mean I would 440 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 1: entertain the idea. Yeah. Well, I'm glad you Joe. I 441 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: tell you one thing, and I mean this.

I was really upset about it. Yeah, 483 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:07,679 Speaker 1: all right, let's Joe third times a charm Becca? Cool? 484 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: How about that? Alright? Becca Becca? No, that was good. 485 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:17,640 Speaker 1: That's fine. I'm gonna take cool. What's to stop there?

You know, last week Tiger Woods 494 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,440 Speaker 1: got second, but yet he is getting a lot more 495 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 1: attention than Brute Brooks Kepka who won. It's kind of 496 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:53,879 Speaker 1: like Joe the Grocer. There's a lot of people in 497 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,439 Speaker 1: between night one and the last night, but Joe the 498 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 1: Grocer has came out on top.
