I saw the cameras, I 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:37.640 thought everything was so much fun. But then I did 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:40.800 my waking Up in the Morning song when I was 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:44.600 like nine years old, and that have ever heard that? 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:47.520 I don't think so you definitely have if you're on 0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:49.200 TikTok really. 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:52.480 Okay during COVID, do you remember that sound where the 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:55.880 kid sounds like she's crying, saying waking up in the morning, 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:56.760 thinking about. 0:03:56.520 --> 0:04:01.040 Waking up in the morning, that was you shut up?

Oh my, So imagine COVID We're 0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:19.760 all on lockdown and I'm scrolling through chaos. 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:21.400 Four years ago. Also you looked like a toddler. 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:25.839 Yeah I wasn't That wasn't me four years ago? 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:28.760 You were twenty years or oh, that wasn't you four 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:32.640 years ago?

And but 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:42.360 four years ago is when it popped off out of nowhere. 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:46.200 So in my brain, I'm like, I sang. 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:49.840 That that's so great though, that's iconic. 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:51.359 Though, good for you as iconic. 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:54.560 Yeah, now I look at it as iconic. I own it. 0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:58.240 It's a part of me. That's it. But when I 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:00.880 was sitting there four years ago and I'm scrolling and 0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:05.719 every other video is another like a list celebrity using 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:09.040 my sound, yeah, I was like, this isn't happening. I 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:10.840 feel like I was like living in like some sort 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:11.359 of a dream. 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:12.800 Yeah, that's like some black mirror. 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:15.640 And I was like, wow, And when did I ever? 0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:18.479 Like I would have never thought in a million years 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:22.440 that that would have came out. Now I love that 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:24.040 blessing in disguise. 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:26.640 I guess can you say it right now? Waking up 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:26.960 in the. 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:31.000 Moment, waking up in the morning, thinking about so many things. 0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:33.560 I just wish life can get better. 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:36.919 I try to try to get rid of them, but 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:41.880 nothing seems to say the same. Wow, wow, thank you, 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:46.320 no problem, that's your entertainment for this podcast. But yeah, 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:50.080 so we've all had our cringe moments for sure. 0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:52.200 Oh I wish I had that one, But I appreciate 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:54.200 you telling me that it's okay. 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:57.680 I hope that made you feel better. Yeah. So then, 0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:00.160 I mean, I guess you and Katie kind of did 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:04.000 it on some bad terms when the Batchelor ended. 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:07.159 Yeah, I mean that that part of it was sad 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:11.760 because we yeah, we just left on not the greatest 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:14.640 of terms. But I mean we hashed it out fairly 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:19.080 quickly after the show. She reached out and you know, 0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:22.520 we made amends right away, and I mean it was 0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:25.240 squashed after that. But yeah, in the midst of it all, 0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:29.760 I wish I handled things differently. Looking back on it all, do. 0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:31.600 You wish you stayed after you said I love you? 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:38.160 I mean, I I was in the airport right after 0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:41.000 I said it, and I remember I was really regretful 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:44.280 of leaving, and like, I don't think I under I 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:47.279 kind of almost attempted to. 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:48.200 I was. 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:52.520 I was texting producers non stop, you know, trying to 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:54.800 go back and trying to see if you know, she 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:56.960 was engaged not. But I didn't get any reply, and 0:06:57.000 --> 0:06:58.640 like I realized at that time, I was like, you 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:01.719 know what, this maybe wasn't the right setting for me 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:04.560 to be in this point in time, and I just 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:05.200 try to move on. 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:08.920 Yeah, do you think the environment of the show played 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:12.120 into just a lot of your emotions heightened situations? 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:16.200 Yeah, you know, I think that if you're going through something, 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:20.360 especially in your own life, I mean, going on that 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:24.120 show is not a good idea. I mean, You're you're 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:26.320 going to be put putt in a tough environment where 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:28.840 you know, you're not going to be able to get 0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:32.040 seven eight hours of sleep, nine hours of sleep maybe sometimes, 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:34.800 and you're going to be running on like three to four, 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:37.240 and your emotions are going to be heightened, and and uh, 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:40.600 it's gonna be you know, wine involved, and you're not 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:43.160 going to really see the best version of yourself sometimes. Yeah, 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:46.240 So you know, being being there in a good foundation 0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:48.440 I think is the only move really. 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:53.400 So then after the season ended, I mean, looking back now, 0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:56.760 you realize that that was probably the best decision for yourself. 0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:59.520 How did you handle all the backlash because you know, 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:04.720 you were feeling regretful for leaving then. Obviously the Bachelor 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:09.800 Nation fans are very intense. Yeah they are, so how 0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:11.120 did you cope with that? 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:14.800 I think I just felt very misunderstood a lot of 0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:18.360 the time, and directly after, you know, there was just 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:21.320 like all these things about like I was putting on 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:22.600 an act and stuff, and. 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:23.560 It was scary. 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:27.200 I was embarrassed, truthfully, So I really didn't want to 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:29.880 leave the house that often. I mean I would with like, 0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:31.920 you know, my best friends, my family and stuff, but 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:35.400 I would just keep a close knit circle, truthfully. And 0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:38.440 I just tried to move on, I really did. I 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:40.680 just try to put it in the back of me 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:42.440 and just, yeah, move forward. 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:43.160 But it was tough. 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:46.040 I mean, that's all you can do with anything that 0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:50.240 happens that sucks. That's the worst part. I feel like 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:54.960 Bachelor Nation fans, Bravo fans, I feel whenever you're on 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:58.559 such as a reality TV show. Yeah, the fans are 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:02.280 very intense. Yeah, and they have they have a big opinion. 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:03.440 Yeah, for sure. Yeah. 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:05.160 I feel like every rally show, there's so many of 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:07.000 them nowadays, but I feel like everyone has like the 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.520 Ride or Die fan base at this point, So you 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:11.480 just gotta be ready ready. 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:12.839 Is that whatever one you're in here? 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:14.240 Yeah? No, for sure. 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:15.000 Yeah. 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:17.400 Did they reach out to you to be the Bachelor? 0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:22.480 Yeah, they did it, just it wasn't the right timing. Honestly, 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:25.959 it was directly after my season, so. 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:27.760 You were just dealing with a lot of back lives. 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:31.440 I was, and it just I was I was straight 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:33.120 up with them. I was like, guys, I'm not too 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:37.120 ready for this, and we just you know, parted ways 0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:37.400 on it. 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:39.920 Yeah, and they never reached out to you ever like 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:44.160 since then. No, No, you would be a great contender. 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:45.640 A contender for the Bachelor. 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:47.480 Would you do it now or you feel like that's 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:48.600 so behind you now? 0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:49.480 Be the Bachelor? 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:54.520 Yeah, I mean I envisioned myself and like, you know, 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:59.760 hopefully after my parents being the role models they were 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:03.319 and their marriage, I really, you know, would like it. 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:06.240 And I understand that there are real love stories that 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:10.920 come out of the show. I just uh, I think 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:16.400 I would have anxiety truthfully about you know, for instance, 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:18.880 sometimes people don't know who they're going on for. I 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:21.840 think that would be one thing that I would want 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:24.560 to happen, is that they don't usually like tell people 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:27.160 beforehand who it's going to be, and so I would 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:29.680 want them to know prior. You know, if like people 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:31.559 are going to on the on the show to get engaged, 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:33.319 I would want them to know who they're going on for. 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:38.520 And so I think people being like one hundred percent 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:41.480 in for you is just I think that. 0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:44.240 Would create more success also for the show. 0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:47.319 Yeah, yeah, that's actually a good point. Yeah, I mean, 0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:49.200 because it kind of is like love is blind in 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:51.520 a way, in a way that show you're going and 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:55.240 blind and then I mean you're figuring out if you 0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:58.080 have a connection or not. But I mean, please, I 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:01.000 feel like if anyone heard Grippo is going to be 0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:03.600 the Bachelor, you would have a line out the door. 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:05.760 That's a nice thing. 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:08.480 So since then do you kind of just want to 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:10.200 want it to happen the organic way? 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:17.120 I mean yeah, I uh, I haven't really counted out 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:21.559 anything in life said you know, if something happened organically, 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:25.720 I would do that. I never really wanted to ever 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:28.000 say like point blank no, I would never do like 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:33.040 another show, but you know, I have faith in myself 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:35.840 that it's gonna happen, just more organically for me probably. 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:40.520 Yeah, I mean, speaking of anxiety and everything like that, 0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:42.840 when you are on a reality TV show, it puts 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:45.360 a lot of pressure on yourself absolutely, and then like 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:47.400 you you already dealt with the backlash of the fan, 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:50.160 so to really put yourself in that position again, like 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:53.599 you said, it would definitely give you anxiety, anyone anxiety. 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:54.240 Yeah, without a doubt. 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:57.920 Yeah, And I mean you know that you can only 0:11:57.920 --> 0:12:01.320 show so much of one per it also depends what 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:03.960 they use. That's true too, So like I think that was, 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:06.520 you know, the one thing for me. And maybe it 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:08.319 was a time of life that I was in where 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:11.320 I just maybe looked perpetually sad throughout the day. But 0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:14.160 I have such like I I guess my face looks 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:17.600 sad when it settles, and so everyone always like if 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:20.200 I'm at a bar, at a party or something, people like, 0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:22.199 what's wrong. And it's always happened to me ever since 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:22.800 high school. 0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:24.959 Yeah, I have a resting bitch face. 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:26.920 Yeah, so yeah, yeah, you understand. 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:28.840 So I mean that happened on the show and then 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:30.840 I just looked sad, and then I just got labeled 0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:34.320 as like a very sad, sad man, which like I 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:36.400 wouldn't want to happen again if like, yeah, say I 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:37.240 would ever do that? 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:39.480 You know, and you have to be on especially if 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:39.920 you were the Beast. 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:52.360 Oh yeah, clicking clicking, would. 0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:54.640 You ever do Paradise or any of those other shows? 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:55.959 Or you feel like that's just not. 0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:59.160 Oh no, I'm going this year. Oh no, I'm just joking. No, 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:02.640 they didn't even call them. I know, they didn't call me. 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:05.840 No, honestly, if they called me, I was really truthfully 0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:08.120 on the fence about it if I were to go 0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:11.880 or not. But no, I mean they didn't call and 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:15.640 kind of made my decision for me. So I mean 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:17.920 I'm fine with that. 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:18.240 You know. 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:21.440 I kind of wanted to just move on to this 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:23.560 next stage of my life for good and it feels good. 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:24.679 I'm comfortable with that. 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:28.640 Yeah, I mean, you're living your life.
