9
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,360

10
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,879

65
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,840

00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: share your story and and have the feedback come back.

67

Speaker 1: have what have fans really related to in it? Um?

69
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: I think it's been great because a lot of it

70
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: shares more than just you know, the Bachelor Bachelor experience.

71
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: So I think it's been great for readers to see

72
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: where more of where I came from and what has

73
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: made me who I am and how you know, faith

74
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: and hope, and how all of that kind of aligns

75
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: into um, keeping keep putting where it kept pushing me

76
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: through in every season of life, that's awesome. If you

77
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: can give like a little elevator pitch as to like

78
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: why your book is different than like a regular tell all,

79
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: what would you tell? Yeah? Well, I mean it really

80
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: isn't a tell all just based on the Bachelor Bachelorette. Um.

81
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: I really share you know, about my heart, my hope,

82
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: growing up not having much and going through really terrible

83
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 1: dating experiences. Um, but also how you know, learning who

84
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: I am, um, finding my identity, finding worth and finding

85
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: my work, and he gustrated me to be and not

86
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: in what other people said. It was a little um

87
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: but also just really, um, I don't know, holding onto hope.

88
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: Hope is truly the key message throughout my statory. So

89
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,559
Speaker 1: I think now more than ever, people need hope. So

90
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: it's much more than about the Bachelor bachelort. That's great, no,

91
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: I love that. Um. Okay, so you guys can get

92
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: Road to the Road to Roses on Amazon today. And

93
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,559
Speaker 1: I just want to talk a little bit to Daz

94
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: about like mommy life because obviously I'm experiencing the first

95
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: beginning of that. How was your first um, well, how

96
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: was your pregnancy? It's like, how do they feel like?

97
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 1: Because I've been talking so much about how like I

98
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: didn't expect it to be like this. I expected it

99
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 1: to be like when people said morning sickness. I knew

100
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: it wasn't just mourning, but I knew that it wasn't

101
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: just morning. But I thought it was gonna be like, oh,

102
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: like I'll be somewhere and then all of a sudden,

103
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: I'll get the urge to throw up. Like nobody told

104
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: me that it was going to be like a nonsub

105
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: nauseous thing. So how how were you both times? They

106
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: should call it like the hour sickness, not not morning,

107
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: you know, iron it. I mean, I was very fortunate.

108
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: I had pretty good pregnancies. I um, I was mainly

109
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: only sick the first time around. And but I just

110
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: ate so like I felt nauseous, I just ate and

111
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,559
Speaker 1: eat some more. So I gained like all my baby

112
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 1: weight in the first three months because I was just

113
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: so hu well. I was just trying to keep like

114
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: the nausea at base. So I just kept eating. No,

115
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: I get it. I need to eat every two hours

116
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: or I get I get nauseous, like a like a

117
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: meal every two hours, which I thought, I was like, oh,

118
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: I have to get in weight, But in the the

119
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 1: month I lost a pound. Really maybe it's just are

120
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: you actually throwing up? But I'm not always throwing up

121
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: the food, which is weird. Like I still am able

122
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: to keep a good mountain down of the food, so

123
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: like maybe I'll throw up like twice a day, but

124
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: like I'm still consuming way more calories than like a

125
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: normal day. So it's still the math doesn't make sense

126
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: to me. But whatever, Yeah, it's so wild, huh, It's

127
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: it's so crazy. How that a little baby like takes

128
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:05,799
Speaker 1: your entire body for for nine months and does whatever

129
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: it wants. Your body just does whatever it wants. It's

130
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: like crazy, it's so weird. We had our second ultrasound

131
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: last week, and it did make me feel a little

132
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: bit like a little more attached to the baby, because

133
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: at first when you see it, it's literally like this

134
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: looks like a speck, right, And then the second time

135
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: it was like, oh my god. Now a month later

136
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: it has like a head and then the body like

137
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: I can see it, and I was like, oh, it's

138
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: so cute. It's cute. Like it's like, okay, well, like

139
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: now I'm not as mad at you for making me

140
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: throw up all the time. Yeah. Oh, just wait until

141
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: you start to feel the baby move. That's that's just heart,

142
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: you know, that's when you really feel that connection. This

143
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: is like maybe a tm my question, but I've always

144
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: been fascinated by this. Um, how are your deliveries? Okay

145
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: mine were really well, I mean so I went all

146
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: natural you did, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So like Chris,

147
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: Chris was born in the same house that his parents

148
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: still live in, so yeah, and so it was just

149
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: kind of their lifestyle and as I learned more and

150
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: I was you know, I went I just like learned

151
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: more about the process of birthing and pregnancy. I decided

152
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: that I wanted to go that route. And yeah, I

153
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: mean I can get real deep and t m I

154
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: but it is tough, you know, it's tough, but it's

155
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 1: just incredible what we can do as women, like incredible. Well,

156
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: you are far stronger than I. I could never do

157
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: the natural route. No, and that's totally okay. Yeah, Like,

158
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: whatever you need to do to get the baby out

159
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: safely and healthy, that is all that matters. Um, all right,

160
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: So let's let's pivot a little bit and get into

161
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: Katie's season. I do believe that maybe you have. You

162
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: were on maybe a week or so before Katie season.

163
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: Do you remember when you were on? Was it like

164
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: the very beginning of Katie season or very I think

165
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: it was the very beginning, probably probably just the first

166
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: episode had aired. So who have you been rooting on

167
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: throughout the season? Okay, so I haven't. I've caught up

168
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: a little bit because I watched the beginning and then

169
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 1: a lot of times in the middle I get a

170
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: little like busy. Um, so I caught up and I

171
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 1: think she has some really good guys in her season,

172
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: like they I think a few, she said, some bad ones,

173
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:45,079
Speaker 1: but I do think they genuinely are there for her. Um,

174
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: I don't have a favorite. You don't, well, I liked, Yeah,

175
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: I don't. Yeah, maybe that's because I missed a few episodes.

176
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 1: But I love her connection with you know, with Greg

177
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 1: and with Lake and oh my gosh, so sad Michael

178
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: leaving Michael, That's what I was waiting for. I don't know,

179
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm like a little he just like brings

180
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: light to the TV screen for me. He I feel

181
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: like without him there, it's just like what am I

182
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: going to just be engaged with during the show. I

183
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: that was heart wrenching for me to see him like leave.

184
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 1: And but but as a parent, like I get it,

185
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: you know, I get it. We will choose your kids

186
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 1: over anything any day. Yeah, let's start there, because that

187
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: is the first scene of this episode, you know, because

188
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: before we get to mental law, we get this fifteen

189
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: minutes segment of Michael on the phone on FaceTime with

190
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: his son, and his son says, I think I know

191
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: why you're not here. I think you're you don't want

192
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: to see me anymore or something all those lines, which,

193
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: oh my god, that is the saddest thing ever. Ah,

194
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: the heartbreaking. I mean you could see it in his

195
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: face the moment his son said that he was like done,

196
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: you know what, I mean, it all back home because

197
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: the moment, well, I was thinking about it too. So

198
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: you know, like a full season is about ten weeks

199
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 1: if you make it to the end. But they had

200
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 1: to quarantine. Do you know how long they had a

201
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 1: quarantine beforehand? I feel like the guys may have I

202
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: feel like over seven days, because if like guests have

203
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: to do seven days, I feel like the the guys

204
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: probably coming and do like at least ten early on. Yeah,

205
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: so he was He's already even gone for almost maybe

206
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: a month and a half. That's a really long time.

207
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: I guess the only thing to say is like, but

208
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: he went all that time to just not wait it out,

209
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: like another two weeks I don't know. But at the

210
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 1: same time, like I haven't felt like I've loved him,

211
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: and like, of course, like I'm supporting I love Katie,

212
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: but I don't know the two of them together, like

213
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 1: You've always made a ton of sense to me. Um,

214
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: so I don't know that. Yeah, we're you shocked of

215
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: her saying like all the time, like she could see

216
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: him at the end kind of because I think that

217
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: she was, like, I think, to be honest, in her brain,

218
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 1: she was like, I've pictured it, but I don't think

219
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: that she like pictured it only with him. That makes sense, Yeah,

220
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: that makes sense. Yeah, I think she pictured it with

221
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: with like two other guys as well. Yeah, Like, well,

222
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 1: I mean if I could have three different you know, husbands,

223
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: and yeah, you'd get in. Um. I don't know. For me,

224
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: whenever there's someone that's like a single parent, I feel

225
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 1: like you're doing you have to really seek that relationship

226
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 1: quickly to see if it's worth in otherwise let them

227
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: go home, you know. But I don't think she wanted

228
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: to let him go home. I think she wanted to

229
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,559
Speaker 1: keep She just like every week there was something more

230
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: and more that she wanted to explore with him. I

231
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: do think there could have been some way to like

232
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: maybe working out, like if she really, like, if she

233
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: thought that was her person. If this is one of

234
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: the Bachelor at seasons where like the Bachelor atte had

235
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: decided who it was like early on, you know, did

236
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: you say who would you would you say, like to leave? Yeah,

237
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 1: Like I if that was the guy that I knew

238
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: I was going to pick all along, then I would

239
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: have been like, oh, okay, well, I guess this season

240
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: ends here, you know, totally totally, no, I hear you.

241
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: But she obviously has different connections with the other guys,

242
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 1: so it's like, yeah, so she he wasn't, then yeah

243
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: he wasn't. To me, he wasn't, because I think she

244
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 1: could have tried something more out or at least like

245
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: been like I'm just trying to think from the perspective

246
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: of me in her shoes, I think I would have

247
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: been like, Okay, well, I guess that means I have

248
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: three other guys, and if at the end of these

249
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, I still am thinking about you and

250
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: I'm still thinking like I would rather him be here

251
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: instead of this other guy, then I'll just leave this

252
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: process and be like, Okay, I found my guy through this.

253
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: He just couldn't have been here in the end. Yeah,

254
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: I think I think that's what I probably would have done.

255
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: But then, like I would have kept going because I

256
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: do believe, like what she said to like, things happen

257
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: for a reason, and sometimes you can't control those things

258
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: that happen. But like, like you said, if I got

259
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: to the end and I was still like questioning, and

260
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: I'd probably like peace, I'm gonna go get my man, definitely,

261
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: and it would have been a great ending her like

262
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: going to his house in Ohio. I actually really like that. Yeah,

263
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: I mean too. But I think we end of get

264
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: her answer at mentel all, just to fast forward a

265
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: little bit, because Caitlin says, because says to Katie, well,

266
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: Michael says that the door is still open and he

267
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: still has all those feelings for you. Uh so what

268
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: do you think about that? And she was like basically said, oh,

269
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: I moved on, like I'm I'm not choosing you. Yeah,

270
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: she said that pretty matter of factly. So that was

271
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: funny because as a viewer, you're seeing it like right

272
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: after it it happened, but really months have gone by, right, right,

273
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: that happened like April, late in May or early May

274
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: or something like that. Yeah, so she's already you know,

275
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: moved on, hopefully, engaged, happy and all the things. But

276
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: her saying that's so matter of fact made me think like, okay,

277
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: so then she's definitely with Blake. Or she's definitely with Greg,

278
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: because I'm sorry, she's definitely not with Justin. She not

279
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: with right, Like, oh, did they have something? You know,

280
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: it was the most confusing thing last week. So but like,

281
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: what's so weird is to me like it's definitely blake

282
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: because there was this thing that came up a couple

283
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: of weeks ago in our headlines where so it came

284
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: out on the internet that Greg wanted to pursue acting

285
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: or something, and that was yeah, so he liked to

286
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: get acting classes. I don't know how hard he was

287
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: pursuing it. But there was a tweet out there that said,

288
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: like when you find out that like Greg the whole

289
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: time is really the one that was there for the

290
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: wrong reasons or something like hashtag acting classes. I'm totally

291
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: making up the tweet, but it was something like that,

292
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: and she liked it and then unliked it, which makes

293
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: me feel like it's definitely not Greg. Yeah, if she

294
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: liked it, I know interesting. I'm interested to see what

295
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: happens because the little you know, it's the little previews

296
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: you can't you can I don't know, I can't always

297
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: believe him because I just never know what's being chopped

298
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: up to like create the preview for what's coming. But

299
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 1: it's interesting, like where she says she wants to go home. Oh,

300
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: it's very interesting. It's very interesting. I have no idea

301
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 1: what that is. You think she ends up with Lake? Ye?

302
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 1: I mean my only theory now watching that is that

303
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: she finds out that like Greg is not as authentic. Yeah,

304
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: so I don't know, but it's actually what is with

305
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: all those guys like Hannah's season what was his name? Oh? Yeah,

306
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: I know, um Jed Yeah, yeah, Like they go the

307
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:52,239
Speaker 1: they go the whole way, just to be I know.

308
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 1: All right, Well let's dive into the mentel all part.

309
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: So I think that Tasia and Caitlin did such a

310
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 1: good job hosting this. They were prose, they were so um,

311
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 1: they were so impressive. They Mentel is not an easy

312
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 1: episode to carry because it can't mess up. Yeah, you're

313
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 1: live in front of the audience. You've got to read

314
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: the prompter, You're getting little note notes in your earpiece.

315
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 1: It's hard. And then like the guys are constantly talking

316
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: over each other. You're gonna have to break up fights.

317
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: You have to deliver it with like a certain amount

318
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: of like like a sense of being commanding but also

319
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: being like emotional, and I just think that they really

320
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 1: balanced all of it perfectly. Yeah, I do too. They

321
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 1: did a really great job. Like and they're going to

322
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: be on Michelle season right. I don't know. I don't

323
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 1: know if we even answer about that, but we should

324
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: soon because it's going to start filming anymore. And now, yeah,

325
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: do you think this is like a tryout that they're

326
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: doing the like Caitlin and Tisha. I don't know. We

327
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 1: can end up with just one or I'm that's a

328
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: good thought. I have not thought about that. No, No,

329
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll see, okay. So I think like

330
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: this mental all was when I first started, like when

331
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: I first like remembered today that it was mental all,

332
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 1: I was like, oh God, the last thing I want

333
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: to do is here these guys arguing. But I was

334
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: pleasantly surprised to see that the arguing portion was only

335
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 1: like ten or fifteen minutes because everything that they had

336
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: to argue about was so dumb. Because everything was just

337
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: so dub you know, I actually agree. I was watching

338
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: it and because usually mental I'm like, oh here we go, um,

339
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 1: but you know, it was actually not bad and I actually,

340
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: I actually liked the guys. They were funny. Even when

341
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: they were like bantering, it was still really funny. Or

342
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: when they were fighting, it was just really stupid. So

343
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: it was like kind of funny, but overall it didn't

344
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: overtake the whole the whole night, I completely agree, because

345
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: most of their fights in the house were about like

346
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: who's there for the right reasons? Right, and like catching

347
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 1: guys quote being there for the wrong reasons because they

348
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: said stupid things like I know who the top four

349
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: is going to be, or like I want to be

350
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: the bachelor. So because because there was really no depth

351
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: to those arguments, we didn't have a lot of fighting,

352
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: which was great, But I thought it was very weird

353
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 1: that Thomas wasn't there in person. Any theories as to why, no,

354
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: he's afraid. Honestly, that's my best theory too. The best

355
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: you can just tell by the way he talks. He's

356
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: a really great like manipulator, like says the right things,

357
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: does the right things, and maybe you know deep down

358
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: he has great intentions, but I don't know. Yeah, I

359
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: felt this. I felt like, oh, maybe they just didn't

360
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 1: want to bother with his drama and they wanted it

361
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: to be condensed it as a video call. I don't know.

362
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: I think they have a choice because I remember back

363
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: so many years ago, um Tiara was like the villain

364
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: in our season and think they got her there, but

365
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: because you know, they would do anything to get the

366
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: people there in person. So it had to have been

367
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,679
Speaker 1: something with him where either he didn't want to or

368
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 1: maybe a scheduling although I said he was like in

369
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 1: strmento or something. I forget. It's always hard to believe

370
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: when they say that there's a scheduling thing when it's

371
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: like somebody who was such a big character. I kind

372
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: of feel like I felt I feel like he probably

373
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: chickened out and try I just couldn't be convinced to come. Yeah,

374
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: I agree. Um so then there was let's see what

375
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,199
Speaker 1: was like the other Another big moment and mental I

376
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: think would probably be when Connor got kissed by a

377
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: stranger in the audience that was actually really entertaining. I

378
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: was like, I was like, this is one of my

379
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: favorite mental moments of all time. Yes, And do you

380
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: think that a stage? I wasn't sure. I definitely think

381
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 1: it was stage because she was like miked up. She

382
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: sounds pretty clear that I didn't even think about it.

383
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: I think it was but I think it was cute

384
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: that he said that he was eyeing her from the

385
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,199
Speaker 1: audience already. She was really cute, and then he said like,

386
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: I want to get your number. I think like they

387
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 1: probably went on a date. I think that was a

388
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 1: really cute scereo. I know, I was like, oh, we

389
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: need to know what happens to them. I know, we

390
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 1: got to get an update. That was cute. I actually

391
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: liked having something fun and like spontaneous happened during the

392
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: mental law. I also liked the fact that like made

393
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 1: him probably feel a lot better about the whole kissing thing,

394
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: because this poor guy was so embarrassing one to just

395
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: be called out on stage about it. Then for him

396
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: to be like, oh, yeah, I texted two or three

397
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: x is just to make sure it wasn't that bad,

398
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,919
Speaker 1: and then that was the perfect redeeming moment, and all

399
00:22:55,960 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: the guys were so supportive afterward. It was supportive. That

400
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 1: was so cute, and it was it was cute that

401
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 1: he because I don't think Katie was saying like, you're

402
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: a bad kisser. She was just saying, we don't have

403
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: that spark kiss definitely, but still how sweet of him

404
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 1: to like go and like text his exes and be like,

405
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: was I just a terrible kisser? I know, poor guy,

406
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 1: poor guy. Um okay. But another moment that stood out

407
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: to me and seeing one of my favorite mental moments,

408
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: had nothing to do with this season. It was them

409
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 1: showing Caitlin and Jason's proposal, which we've all I've been

410
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 1: seen on Instagram that it doesn't matter because I can

411
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: watch it over and over again, it will never get old.

412
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 1: It was way better than seeing it on like big

413
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 1: It was I don't know. I actually didn't watch the

414
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: full thing on Instagram because I well I thought I did,

415
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: but then when I watched it back, I was like,

416
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, he was so sweet, crying and so cute,

417
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: like I think, get the words out. It was so cute.

418
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: It was so cute when getting there hopefully soon, hopefully soon.

419
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,640
Speaker 1: I mean they're in the wedding planning process. It's a

420
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: big you know how stressful that is? Yes, very much?

421
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 1: Um okay. So then as far as like Katie's conversations

422
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 1: with the guys, um, she she really just talks to

423
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 1: one one with Andrew and then with with um Michael,

424
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: and it just feels like she's been kind of like

425
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 1: moved past that she appreciate them. But you know, it

426
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: was like the same word of like, you know, I

427
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: love and respect you, which was great. I think she

428
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 1: always she's really good at saying like the right things. Yes,

429
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 1: I'm I'm very envious of that. She's very good at

430
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: that ends and my feelings get all is in the way,

431
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: and I get all. You know, she's just very like

432
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: straight to the point out her feelings. It's really good.

433
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,959
Speaker 1: It's very impressive. Um. And then there was that moment

434
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: where she she butchered Aaron's name and called him which

435
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 1: like I get like they maybe look like they could

436
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,719
Speaker 1: be brothers. Um. That was so funny though, because they

437
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 1: were talking about Thomas being like the worst and then

438
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: she calls him to Aaron is the worst. Though. I

439
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: seriously think that Aaron's the worst of all of them

440
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: because he was the one that started drama with everyone

441
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: and he was constantly being like I don't like him,

442
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,679
Speaker 1: I don't like him. I don't like him, yes totally.

443
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 1: But he never got called out, you know, he never did,

444
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 1: which is weird. But like he still has like bad

445
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: vibes for me. Yeah, I agree. Um, as far as

446
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 1: other drama, I mean, they brought things up with Carl,

447
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 1: and you know, at the end of the day, I'm

448
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 1: pretty sure like Carl does look a little bit silly

449
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: because he he was like I said, it was multiple guys. No,

450
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: I meant it was just Thomas, and it's just like, Okay,

451
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: you got caught. It's fine. And then there was the

452
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: stuff with um, what's his name, Cody. I mean like

453
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: it was so earlier, like knowing each other or something. Yeah,

454
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: and he was like, I'm going to be famous in

455
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 1: six months, and he was like, no, you took that

456
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: off contact and it probably wasn't out of contact, but yeah,

457
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 1: out of contact. Yeah, Like what else are you gonna

458
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,880
Speaker 1: be famous for? That's the thing like I'm so thankful

459
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 1: for is that back in my day, like Instagram had

460
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 1: just started up, like kind of and so I don't know,

461
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: it wasn't a conversation. It was a conversation like are

462
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,640
Speaker 1: you there for the right reasons? Has always been a conversation,

463
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: but now it's just like more heightened because of social media,

464
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 1: and I don't know if most people are on there

465
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: for the right reasons. It's hard to say. I mean,

466
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: you know, you know that even Sean Lowe, who's like

467
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: the epitome of who do you think would be there

468
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 1: for the right reasons, basically writes in his book that

469
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: he wasn't, And like back then it was you know,

470
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: you make friends, you travel, you like get like a

471
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: little fifteen minutes of attention and it's pretty cool. But

472
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: then you know it's going to be over. Yeah. Yeah,

473
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,160
Speaker 1: it's just so crazy. I feel like it's much harder though,

474
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: now for them to like prove yeah, to prove it

475
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 1: or navigate relationships maybe after the fact too, because of

476
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 1: social media and the pressure. Oh yeah, it's really hard

477
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 1: to prove You're like, it's just a cluster these days.

478
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 1: I don't fit. I don't pity them. I feel like everybody,

479
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: um can be there and be at a risk for

480
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: being called that these days absolutely Um. All right, Well, anyway,

481
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: so the next sneak peek that will will analyze the

482
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: sneak peek a little bit more. Um Blake says that

483
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 1: Katie is everything he's ever wanted. Greg says that she

484
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 1: makes him the happiest he's ever been. Um Gregg says

485
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 1: that he's falling so hard for Katie. He gets he

486
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: gets six, he gets six to it. He gets sick

487
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,120
Speaker 1: to his stomach whenever he sees her kiss other guys.

488
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 1: And then she says that everything is blowing up her

489
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: in her face and she just wants someone to book

490
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,719
Speaker 1: her flight home. So I mean, oh my gosh. And

491
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 1: Justin also says he's fully in love with her. It

492
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: just doesn't feel real. No, do you think Justin's falling

493
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,959
Speaker 1: in love with her? It's just more oh, he's in

494
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: love with the thought in his head thought, Yeah, I'm

495
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 1: interested to see her meet the families too, because it

496
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: looks like it couldn't I couldn't tell, but I mean

497
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: it looked like maybe Greg's family or Katie had questions. Um,

498
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: there wasn't clarity there in that, but um, yeah, I

499
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 1: don't know. I feel like that's always a telling sign

500
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: when you meet the family. Yeah. And then there was

501
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: also this moment where it was like, if Katie doesn't

502
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: get engaged to at the end of this, she's going

503
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 1: to be like devastated or something like that. And was

504
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: that that was coming from somebody in her family? Was

505
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: that I didn't know who that was? I think so,

506
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. Could you imagine if one of the

507
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 1: guys is like, I just don't know if I can

508
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: propose next week, Oh my gosh, that would be crazy.

509
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: I mean, it happens. I've definitely seen it happen recently.

510
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: All right, Well, I mean I guess, as always, the

511
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: preview just looks great and juicy at this point. But

512
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 1: of course, and I don't I don't think she actually

513
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: goes home. I mean, I don't know. When I was

514
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: on the show, I said I wanted to go home,

515
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: And that's usually just because you're like emotionally drained and

516
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: you're just kind of like you it's not that you

517
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:35,959
Speaker 1: want to go home. You just really want like a

518
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: big hug and a glass of wine. You just want

519
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: a loan time. You want a loan time. You want

520
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: your friends to like help you out. And so I

521
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: don't think she actually goes home. It's just more so

522
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: of like she just wants space to think through what

523
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: she needs to do. Yeah, that's actually a really good point.

524
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 1: I would feel like probably really trapped at the end,

525
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: like the top three, if I couldn't get advice from

526
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: my family mm hmm, just being like, who do you

527
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 1: guys feel like I guess, I guess you do get that,

528
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: especially with top two. Then you start getting feedback. Yeah,

529
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 1: but I feel like but when things start to you know,

530
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: get hard or like confusing, then you're just overwhelmed. And

531
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: so I feel like everyone would say I want to

532
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: go home. I mean I actually did say that, So

533
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: it's like I feel her. Yeah, I bet you every

534
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: lead says that. Oh, I'm sure at some point. All Right, well, Dez,

535
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: thank you so much for joining us. I appreciate you

536
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 1: so much for being here and breaking out this episode

537
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,719
Speaker 1: with me. I truly couldn't have done it without you.

538
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me. Alright, talked to you soon, Bye bye.

539
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: All right, Well, before we have out of here, I'm

540
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: doing Bachelor headlines by myself, which seems like it might

541
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: be weird because Ben always like it's really dramatic and

542
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: reads the headline and I kind of explain it. But

543
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: it's okay, I'll read the head I'll do both today.

544
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: So the first one is actually quite juicy. I think

545
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: it's Bibiana, you know, you know, Bibbie Julian. She admits

546
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 1: that she slept on quote quote not slept on directly

547
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: because when I first read this headline, I was like,

548
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 1: she slept on top of Joe amabla. No, she slept

549
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 1: on him as if she kind of didn't realize he

550
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 1: was there during Bachelor in Paradise, and she she also

551
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: ranks her her experiences on the Bachelor. So she says

552
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: that when she was on Bachelor in Paradise season five,

553
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: her only regret and she keeps thinking about it today,

554
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: was that she slept on grocery store Joe. I totally

555
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: slept on him, she said. She said, I talked to

556
00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: him prior and it was something like obviously they were

557
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: already talking to him about going, but he wasn't sure

558
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 1: if it was going to be an easy decision um

559
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: for him, like do I do this? Do I not?

560
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 1: And then she here, she sees him. He's back in

561
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 1: the mix, he's on click bait, he's single, and she's like,

562
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: if things don't work out for him on Paradise this

563
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 1: time around, he would be a bachelor pick for me too.

564
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: So is she's saying here that she slept on him

565
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: as in like he was a bigger catch than she

566
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 1: thought he was, and now she thinks that he'd be

567
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 1: like a great bachelor, or she's thinking about like this personally,

568
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: like she's personally disappointed that she didn't like pursue him more.

569
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: I'm not quite sure out there, baby, Um, do you

570
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: want to date Joe if this doesn't work out for

571
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: him this time around? Or are you just hoping to

572
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 1: see Joe as a future bachelor? Either way, I get you.

573
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: This is another juicy headline. Katie Morton says that she

574
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: was torn after Colton Underwood came out, and she's also

575
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 1: giving us a little update on how Cassie ran off it.

576
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 1: So she says Cassie is doing great. She seems very happy.

577
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: She says she's noticeably moved on, and then when the

578
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: news came out about Colton, she said she was torn,

579
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: feeling relieved and happy for him to be free to

580
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: be himself, but also angry with him for not treating

581
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: her friend the way she should have been treatedim and

582
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: for putting her through what she went through. She says,

583
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: I was a very torn in that situation because there

584
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: was part of me saying and not fair, how dare you?

585
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: I can't believe you? And then there was a part

586
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: of me that was saying, it's starting to make sense.

587
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 1: How conflicted you must have been. How I feel for you,

588
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: She says she's definitely torn, but at the same time,

589
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: good for him for moving on and owning who he is.

590
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: In sad news this week, Um, Lauren Burnham or Lion Dyke.

591
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: You know Lauren, I always call O Lauren Laron Dyck,

592
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: but maybe she's still learned by Burnham because I still

593
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: go by Lionetti. Um. She had to go to the

594
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: hospital with a case of mastitis, and that's when you

595
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: have painful inflammation in your breast tissue, and I believe

596
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:11,760
Speaker 1: that it's from breastfeeding. So she stayed overnight at the hospital.

597
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: She received antibiotics through an ivy drip, and she had

598
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 1: scans to look for any potential abscess. Is already said

599
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 1: on Instagram, she's been going through a lot this week, um,

600
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 1: And he was up all weekend with the baby's survival

601
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 1: over here, he said, ha ha, when he has his

602
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: handfull of three three kids. So our thoughts go out

603
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 1: to Lauren. We know she's home now and I hope

604
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: she's feeling much better. Becka Martinez, she had a a

605
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: moment being really upset over on Instagram because she's very

606
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: overwhelmed by raising her two kids and her nanny quit. Uh,

607
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: so she felt a lot of guilt back in March

608
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 1: when she decided that she just needed somebody to be

609
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 1: a part time babysitter. She said that she just felt

610
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:02,280
Speaker 1: like really strung out, like she she just couldn't handle

611
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: everything on her own. And she finally found this babysitter

612
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 1: at the Kids Love that she got along with Ruth.

613
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 1: Her her oldest was asking if she was coming in

614
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: and she said she couldn't hold it together. She was crying.

615
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: She just said it was a really rough day. And

616
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: she said all this on her podcast, which is Chatty Broad's,

617
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,399
Speaker 1: and I think she'll be looking for somebody else. So, hey,

Speaker 1: California area soon. And Chris Harrison responds to fans saying

634
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 1: that she loves and misses him and he says, love

635

Speaker 1: way they wanted to get married during I think they're

658
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 1: just supposed to get married. They got married this past April.

659
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 1: I think they're supposed to get married in two thousand nineteen.

660
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 1: And they wanted to start having kids in two thousand nineteen,

661
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,800
Speaker 1: right after the wedding. Well they ended up having babies

662
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 1: still right after the wedding, just a little bit later.

663
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 1: And we are so happy for them. I just I

664
00:37:57,880 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: don't know what to say. It's just like, so it's

665
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 1: so cute that I it's kind of exciting that I'm

666
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 1: able to kind of go through this with somebody else

667
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,720
Speaker 1: in Bachelor Nation. Um. She did tell people a little

668
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 1: a little bit of detail about what she's been going through.

669
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: She's not really been, um that nauseous. It says that

670
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: despite not experience any nausea, she's had some food aversions.

671
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 1: And what she told me was that like all the

672
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:26,320
Speaker 1: foods that Adam would normally like, that that she normally

673
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 1: wouldn't like, she's been liking. So it's like all of

674
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 1: a sudden, she wants to eat when Adam eats. Um.

675
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 1: She also said that she's just had some lack of

676
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 1: energy and um, that has been kind of tough. But

677
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 1: it's all great, and I'm excited, and I'm also glad

678
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 1: that the baby doesn't come right away. She goes, I

679
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 1: have nine months to get ready. Um, they haven't found

680
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 1: out the sex yet, and I wonder if they are,

681
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 1: because she's just about that week where they should be

682
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 1: able to know, So I'll have to ask her about that.

683
00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:00,080
Speaker 1: But very happy for Raven and Adam. They are o

684
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 1: cute and they look beautiful in their announcement and I'm

685
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 1: very excited. And this is a shocking, shocking headline because

686
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,360
Speaker 1: how are we just finding this out now. Clay Harbor

687
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:17,839
Speaker 1: is cousins with andrew S from Katie season. Yeah, he's

688
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:21,399
Speaker 1: cousins and he was talking to him a lot last

689
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 1: week when he had his departure from the show. He said,

690
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 1: we were texting all last night. He was saying how

691
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 1: hard it was to watch the show because it brought

692
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: back so many feelings, and he said, you know, I

693
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: know it's tough. People don't realize that you really are

694
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 1: feeling all these feelings, and once you separate from that

695
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: environment a little bit, you're like, Okay, I'm back in

696
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 1: the real world. But then you have to relive it

697
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 1: all and you go back and then you're like, wow,

698
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 1: that really was how you feel. You know, it was

699
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 1: really real at that point in time for me. Um,

700
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 1: So I mean, wow, how did we just not know

701
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 1: that these two were cousins and had each other to

702
00:39:55,640 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 1: lean on? Um and then find The headline of the

703
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 1: of the week is that Michelle Young her Bachelorette cante.

704
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 1: The contestants the guys for her Bachelorette's season have kind

705
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 1: of come out, so they're not the official releases yet,

706
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 1: but they are like those early releases that always seemed

707
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:21,720
Speaker 1: to hit the internet, um, a couple of days before

708
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 1: like the official ABC dot Com release. Um, I would

709
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: go through them, but I think like, we're just gonna

710
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 1: end up going through the official release next week and

711
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 1: then I'll have been here and we can do the

712
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 1: thing or really kind of make fun of the guys

713
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:41,439
Speaker 1: and make up wacky first impressions. So we'll wait for that. Um.

714
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 1: But a little interesting tidbit according to Reality Steve is

715
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: that this season looks to be filming Ian Michelle's hometown

716
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 1: of Minneapolis, Minnesota, which kind of brings us back to

717
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 1: the days of Emily Maynard and I'm wondering why they

718
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,800
Speaker 1: decided to do it in Minneso. Soda. Um, they're actually

719
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 1: staying at a hotel that is not like a campus hotel,

720
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 1: you know, like the past couple of seasons we've seen

721
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:10,799
Speaker 1: like hotels where they're like far out. They're the kind

722
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 1: of like in the middle of nowhere and it's just

723
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 1: completely shut down for production and cast and crew. And

724
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 1: this I looked up the hotels and this hotel just

725
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: like is it it's like as not a skyscraper, but

726
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 1: it's a really tall building in the middle of an

727
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 1: actual city and they say that that's where the guys.

728
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 1: That's what Reality See was saying that the guys in

729
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,319
Speaker 1: Michelle will be staying at that hotel, And it looks

730
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:35,959
Speaker 1: like they'll be doing rose ceremonies at this place called

731
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:41,319
Speaker 1: the Simple Mansion. And this Simple Mansion I also looked

732
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 1: up and it looks kind of like a a wedding venue. Um,

733
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 1: it's definitely, like, you know, not in the smack middle

734
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:49,839
Speaker 1: of a city, but it's also doesn't look like it's

735
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: totally remote either. Um, and it's not huge, so I'm

736
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: not sure that they're going to have a whole bunch

737
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 1: of places to shoot for it. It'll be interesting if

738
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 1: maybe they start using Minneapolis as like a city to

739
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:06,359
Speaker 1: explore and they're not totally locked down, like maybe they're

740
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 1: not traveling throughout the country or throughout the world, but

741
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: maybe they are just staying local and doing local dates.

742
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:13,840
Speaker 1: So that could be really fun for her, especially to

743
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: be able to show guys her home and to do

744
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 1: things that she would actually do around there. And they're

745
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 1: apparently also um filming something in Palm Springs over the summer.

746
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 1: But it seems like the majority, or so says Reality See.

747
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:32,439
Speaker 1: If the majority will take place in Minneapolis, so very

748
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 1: interesting stuff. Um that makes me think that, like I

749
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:37,959
Speaker 1: would you know, with michael A's departure, and I really

750
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 1: just have been really on the Michael A should be

751
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 1: the Bachelor train. Um. I would love to see them

752
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:47,880
Speaker 1: bring the show to Ohio, just like they brought the

753
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 1: show to North Carolina for Emily Maynard, um, because of

754
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 1: her child, and and do it do it somewhere in

755
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:56,800
Speaker 1: Ohio and he'll be able to have his kid with

756
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 1: him throughout the entire time. I just think that he

757
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 1: is such a front runner become the Bachelor, and he's

758
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 1: so so sweet. But that does but then you also

759
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 1: have to think that there are going to be a

760
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 1: lot of contenders I'm sure from Michelle season, so we'll

761
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 1: have to see after that. And plus, like, have we

762
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 1: even gotten official word that The Bachelor has been renewed?

763
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:21,480

764
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 1: renewed The Bachelor yet, which is just wild. But they

765

Speaker 1: do normally film in September and that is just around

766
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 1: the corner. Final casting week is usually in August, so
