0:00:56.760 --> 0:00:58.800
<v Speaker 1>you get on the Bachelorette?

0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:05.200
<v Speaker 5>So funny story. My my best friend's wife, Alexis, she

0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:07.280
<v Speaker 5>actually works for me. I hired her a little over

0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:09.680
<v Speaker 5>a year ago, and she said that her first or

0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:12.800
<v Speaker 5>of business since I was a newly single man looking

0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:15.200
<v Speaker 5>for love, was to give me on her favorite TV

0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:17.840
<v Speaker 5>show of all time that she's been watching since she

0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:20.240
<v Speaker 5>was a kid, and that was The Bachelorette. So I

0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:23.520
<v Speaker 5>actually got a call, thought it was spam, got a

0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:24.920
<v Speaker 5>couple more, didn't answer it.

0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:27.319
<v Speaker 2>They ended up calling and reaching out to Alexis.

0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:30.119
<v Speaker 5>She reached out to me, said, hey, you should probably

0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:35.280
<v Speaker 5>call these guys back. They seem like they're actually real people.

0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:37.440
<v Speaker 5>And I get a lot of spam calls with my company.

0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:42.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so the same thing I had three Bess calls.

0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:45.520
<v Speaker 3>I was like, these freaking telemarketers just won't leave me alone.

0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:48.560
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. Yeah, and I think, I think when I look

0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:50.680
<v Speaker 5>back on it, I had like a missed voicemail like

0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:54.040
<v Speaker 5>from someone saying, hey, I promise, like I'm a real person,

0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:56.920
<v Speaker 5>this is legit, Like, give me a call back if

0:01:56.920 --> 0:01:59.960
<v Speaker 5>you're interested. And I did, and sure enough, I want

0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:02.600
<v Speaker 5>end up on one of the favor my favorite shows

0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:03.120
<v Speaker 5>of all time.

0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:08.320
<v Speaker 1>Now found favorite show. I answered, I see the California

0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:11.840
<v Speaker 1>number coming right away. I'm like, about time Hollywood's calling me.

0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:16.280
<v Speaker 1>I answered immediately, I answered on the first ring.

0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:19.280
<v Speaker 3>I was like, I don't know anyone in al A, Like,

0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:21.480
<v Speaker 3>who would be calling me from California?

0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:22.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:24.040
<v Speaker 5>Exactly, And and like I said, I get a lot

0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:27.120
<v Speaker 5>of spam calls to my cell phone from work. So

0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:30.400
<v Speaker 5>I had just figured it was a telemarketers insurance trying

0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:32.320
<v Speaker 5>to sell me something with commercial.

0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:34.600
<v Speaker 2>Insurance or whatever. So I had no paid no mind

0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:34.840
<v Speaker 2>to it.

0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:37.280
<v Speaker 1>What do you you said, you have your own Do

0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:38.680
<v Speaker 1>you have your own business? What do you do?

0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:39.119
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:41.680
<v Speaker 5>So I I call it a consultant firm. It's a

0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:46.399
<v Speaker 5>transportation brokerage. Basically, we're the middlemen between corporate America shippers

0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:48.760
<v Speaker 5>and industrial manufacturers.

0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:51.240
<v Speaker 1>That yeah, yeah, nice, Good for you.

0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:53.560
<v Speaker 2>It's hectic. I learned to talk a lot in that

0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:55.000
<v Speaker 2>in this industry, I'll tell you what.

0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:57.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, you got to you gotta sell people over

0:02:57.160 --> 0:03:01.640
<v Speaker 1>the phone, right yeah yeah? Okay. So you you know,

0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:05.679
<v Speaker 1>night one, you step out of the limo, your first

0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:09.040
<v Speaker 1>conversation with Jen, how are you feeling? Are there sparks there?

0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:10.000
<v Speaker 1>Do you feel a connection?

0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:14.839
<v Speaker 5>You know, I'll preface it like this. I had never

0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:18.400
<v Speaker 5>seen the show before, so I had relatively little knowledge

0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:21.640
<v Speaker 5>of what I was even supposed to be doing there obviously,

0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:24.640
<v Speaker 5>other than getting to know this person, I'm seeing Jen

0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:25.399
<v Speaker 5>for the first time.

0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:28.359
<v Speaker 2>I think she looks stunning. I mean, she looks magnificent.

0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:31.000
<v Speaker 1>And did you know did you know she was gonna

0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:32.320
<v Speaker 1>be the bachelorette before you went on?

0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:35.320
<v Speaker 2>No, I didn't even know any of the contestants. I

0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:36.160
<v Speaker 2>saw her.

0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:41.880
<v Speaker 5>Premiere when they announced it, and that was the first

0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:44.560
<v Speaker 5>time that I had never seen Jen ever, ever ever

0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:47.400
<v Speaker 5>heard her speak, ever say a word. And so for me,

0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:50.720
<v Speaker 5>it wasn't like I feel like, for me, it wasn't

0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:54.400
<v Speaker 5>about making a shopping cart list of who I could

0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:56.720
<v Speaker 5>think it could be and then going and treating the

0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:58.640
<v Speaker 5>situation like it was. I just wanted to go and

0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:01.880
<v Speaker 5>meet a genuine person and that could possibly like me

0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:04.839
<v Speaker 5>for who I am, and that was all that had

0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:06.640
<v Speaker 5>crossed my mind at that point. It was nice, it

0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:09.000
<v Speaker 5>was nice to kind of go and blind. I didn't

0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:11.040
<v Speaker 5>think there was a connection right away with Jen, especially

0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:12.800
<v Speaker 5>since I started talking about feet right away.

0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:16.840
<v Speaker 2>Thankfully, she's a very good sport and kind of rolled

0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:19.760
<v Speaker 2>with the bunches my use a little bit. But yeah,

0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.080
<v Speaker 2>I was nervous. I mean, there's cameras everywhere, there's all

0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:22.680
<v Speaker 2>these guys.

0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:27.039
<v Speaker 1>So when did you feel the connection?

0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:32.719
<v Speaker 5>I think I think that when I took her for

0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:35.200
<v Speaker 5>ice cream, and how willing she was to have a

0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:37.760
<v Speaker 5>conversation with me away from the group right then and there,

0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:41.360
<v Speaker 5>and because of how my personality is, it kind of

0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:43.719
<v Speaker 5>was telling about who I was and the fact that

0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:46.640
<v Speaker 5>she enjoyed that moment with me told me that she

0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:49.760
<v Speaker 5>enjoyed how I am and who I am and and

0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:51.279
<v Speaker 5>a little bit of that. So that was like my

0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:53.920
<v Speaker 5>first like, okay, this girl's this girl's kind of cool,

0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:56.080
<v Speaker 5>like she's down a skip class and go get ice.

0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Cream with me, Like that's an amazing feeling.

0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:02.000
<v Speaker 5>So it started there and it just, you know, obviously

0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:03.880
<v Speaker 5>only grew over time. But I didn't I didn't know

0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:05.800
<v Speaker 5>right away if she was into me. I didn't know

0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:08.320
<v Speaker 5>night one if I was gonna be there, you know,

0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:09.880
<v Speaker 5>coming the next week.

0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:12.680
<v Speaker 2>But you know, again, for me, it was all about

0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:14.000
<v Speaker 2>the experience.

0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:18.240
<v Speaker 3>So she she compared you to Pete Davidson in episode one.

0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:20.080
<v Speaker 3>I think we've seen people online saying it too. Is

0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:21.640
<v Speaker 3>that a comparison you've gotten before?

0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:26.720
<v Speaker 5>So yes, I actually get that way more than I'm

0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:32.640
<v Speaker 5>proud of I think, I know. But for me, like

0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:35.080
<v Speaker 5>I always had this idea of Pete Davidson, like in

0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:39.160
<v Speaker 5>my mind that he was just this person that they're

0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:41.320
<v Speaker 5>not ugly, but just you know, he's not on the

0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:45.359
<v Speaker 5>better looking side of people in the world, and so

0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:51.600
<v Speaker 5>and so for me, like when people would tell me that,

0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:53.520
<v Speaker 5>and it's happened a lot more, I think in the

0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:56.800
<v Speaker 5>last like three years, I get it quite frequently.

0:05:57.360 --> 0:05:59.240
<v Speaker 2>But for me, it's it.

0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:01.680
<v Speaker 5>I'm like, as long as I don't look like him,

0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:04.159
<v Speaker 5>that's great. As long as I remind you of Pete Davidson,

0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:06.760
<v Speaker 5>that's fantastic. I do a lot of the same. You know,

0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:09.039
<v Speaker 5>I'm very vocal. I guess I moved my head all

0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:12.599
<v Speaker 5>out when I talk or whatever. But reminding him is

0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:13.880
<v Speaker 5>much better than looking like him.

0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:17.719
<v Speaker 1>I actually don't really think you look like him, thank you.

0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:17.839
<v Speaker 5>No.

0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:21.440
<v Speaker 3>I think it's like the energy and the mannerisms and

0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:24.039
<v Speaker 3>kind of the way you talk more so than I appreciate.

0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:27.320
<v Speaker 2>That means a lot. He could never grow a mustache.

0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:31.520
<v Speaker 1>Like this, never ever, so so you so you connect

0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:33.840
<v Speaker 1>over ice cream. But then when you did pull her

0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:35.359
<v Speaker 1>for ice cream, that was kind of I think that

0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:38.919
<v Speaker 1>was the start of like the Devin arc of the

0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:44.640
<v Speaker 1>guys hate me essentially or not are upset with me?

0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:47.120
<v Speaker 1>Did you realize that was going to rub all the

0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:49.160
<v Speaker 1>guys the wrong way when you did make that move?

0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:53.479
<v Speaker 5>And no again, because because I haven't seen the show

0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:55.480
<v Speaker 5>and I don't know how any of this stuff works.

0:06:56.040 --> 0:07:00.280
<v Speaker 5>My my mindset was like, Okay, we have how long

0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:01.960
<v Speaker 5>to talk to this girl and be with this person.

0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:04.360
<v Speaker 5>We're into like a rug store looking at rugs. Everybody's

0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:06.760
<v Speaker 5>doing their own thing at that point. You know, Jen's

0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:09.120
<v Speaker 5>kind of looking around like a shop early She's trying

0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:10.880
<v Speaker 5>to buy something for her house. So for me, in

0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:13.280
<v Speaker 5>my mind, I was like, Okay, this is a great

0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:16.640
<v Speaker 5>opportunity for me to kind of just get to know

0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:18.360
<v Speaker 5>this person a little bit more one on one time.

0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:20.320
<v Speaker 2>And so I didn't know that.

0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:25.000
<v Speaker 5>It was gonna affect a certain select group of people,

0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:28.040
<v Speaker 5>and for the most part, not everybody was upset. In

0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:31.720
<v Speaker 5>my mind, I think it was a playful gesture, taking

0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:34.000
<v Speaker 5>a little bit out of context for what it actually was,

0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:37.920
<v Speaker 5>and that rubbed a couple of people the wrong way.

0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:38.800
<v Speaker 1>And was.

0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:41.760
<v Speaker 5>No, no, no, I was just gonna say, like I didn't

0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:44.720
<v Speaker 5>I didn't expect the implications of this to be what

0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:47.640
<v Speaker 5>it was, especially when you look back on it from

0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:51.120
<v Speaker 5>that original moment, like, you know, it's just ice cream.

0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:52.400
<v Speaker 5>You know, I may have talked to her for a

0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:55.000
<v Speaker 5>few minutes and then it was back to business. Everybody

0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:56.720
<v Speaker 5>was you know, they didn't let me enjoy the moment,

0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:57.920
<v Speaker 5>that's for sure, you know what I mean.

0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:01.360
<v Speaker 2>So I didn't know it was going to be like that.

0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:03.240
<v Speaker 4>Would you go back and do it again?

0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:06.440
<v Speaker 1>I think? I mean, yeah, I think that was the

0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:09.280
<v Speaker 1>right move, especially if she's walking around looking for rugs

0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:11.120
<v Speaker 1>and no one's even like really talking to her, then

0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:14.480
<v Speaker 1>it's like, yeah, it's almost a genius move exactly.

0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:17.400
<v Speaker 5>And and for me it was like, you know, and

0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:19.960
<v Speaker 5>again it's gelatto. I was corrected on this a lot.

0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:23.000
<v Speaker 5>It's gelatto on, not ice cream. But with the gelato thing,

0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:27.080
<v Speaker 5>it was just an opportunity for me to get some

0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:30.480
<v Speaker 5>side conversation in a little bit of stuff that you know, just.

0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:33.319
<v Speaker 2>Hey, look i'm here, i'm available, I'm a good guy.

0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:34.959
<v Speaker 2>Let's have some fun with it.

0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:37.640
<v Speaker 5>I'm not really going to be concerned with the opinions

0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:41.000
<v Speaker 5>of many as long as I have the validation.

0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:41.360
<v Speaker 2>Of your opinion.

0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:43.480
<v Speaker 5>That's all I care about, you know, So that's that's

0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:45.199
<v Speaker 5>kind of my thought process through that whole thing.

0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:47.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And I mean, look, it was a ballsy move

0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:54.400
<v Speaker 3>for sure, one that paid off. But we see that

0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:57.600
<v Speaker 3>a lot of the time the female leads on these

0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:00.120
<v Speaker 3>group dates feel like they get lost. It happens at

0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:02.000
<v Speaker 3>least like once or twice a season where they're like, yeah,

0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:03.720
<v Speaker 3>all these guys are like growing out and I'm just

0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:04.800
<v Speaker 3>here by myself.

0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:06.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, she forgot that.

0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:10.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So I think it was a good move in

0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:13.679
<v Speaker 3>the sense if she's standing by herself, she would much

0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:16.280
<v Speaker 3>rather be pulled aside and made you feel wanted by

0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:19.319
<v Speaker 3>someone because she started to find love. But we do

0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:21.880
<v Speaker 3>see the guys start ripping into on the second half

0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:24.040
<v Speaker 3>of that date because you have the roasts. Were you

0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:26.320
<v Speaker 3>surprised that it was kind of like the roast of

0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:27.600
<v Speaker 3>Devin or were you expecting that.

0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:32.680
<v Speaker 5>Like, I'll put it like this, It's not that I

0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:35.840
<v Speaker 5>didn't see it coming. I'm like, I'm a person that

0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:38.560
<v Speaker 5>doesn't take themselves too seriously. I say this all the time,

0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:40.480
<v Speaker 5>Like I told this to the guys in the house, Like,

0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:42.600
<v Speaker 5>my friends and I are way meaner to each other

0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:45.240
<v Speaker 5>than you. Guys have ever been to me, so like,

0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:47.800
<v Speaker 5>this doesn't bother me. I think it's it was the

0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:51.360
<v Speaker 5>fact of the matter that it did put such a

0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:54.120
<v Speaker 5>sustainable thought in their mind, like Devin is a problem,

0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:54.880
<v Speaker 5>Devin is a thing.

0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:56.800
<v Speaker 2>But in my mind, I'm thinking, Okay, they're just talking

0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:58.880
<v Speaker 2>about me. Jen's just hearing my.

0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:01.160
<v Speaker 5>Name over and over and over again, Like there's gotta

0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:05.240
<v Speaker 5>be something at least to talk about here. So was

0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:07.720
<v Speaker 5>it funny I left? You know, I didn't take offense

0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:10.160
<v Speaker 5>to it. I didn't take any part in like being

0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:12.000
<v Speaker 5>upset about the jokes yet. Did I think I had

0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:12.360
<v Speaker 5>it coming?

0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:12.880
<v Speaker 2>Probably?

0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:15.480
<v Speaker 5>But you know again, if you're gonna dish it, take it,

0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:16.960
<v Speaker 5>And I think that's what I did in that moment,

0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:18.920
<v Speaker 5>just kind of yeah, roll with the punches.

0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:28.920
<v Speaker 1>So Aaron, now we're friends with I never met Aaron,

0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:32.240
<v Speaker 1>but we're friends with Noah, Aaron's twin brother, and Noah

0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:36.439
<v Speaker 1>actually Noah was a contestant on the show who another

0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:42.199
<v Speaker 1>another guy gave Noah a book about like maturity and

0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:44.960
<v Speaker 1>the like being immature. So it's just like it was

0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:48.240
<v Speaker 1>funny now to see Noah's twin brother give you a

0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:55.319
<v Speaker 1>book on like what is it self growth whatever. Yeah,

0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:56.200
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about that.

0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:57.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, walk us through the Aaron things. We see you

0:10:57.720 --> 0:11:00.200
<v Speaker 3>guys have the ice cream standoff and the and we

0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:03.160
<v Speaker 3>see him giving the book. The ironic thing is, I'm

0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:05.599
<v Speaker 3>curious that they would agree with this. I think, no,

0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:08.240
<v Speaker 3>why is more similar to Devin than he is to

0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:09.640
<v Speaker 3>Aaron personality wise?

0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:11.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? I do too. Yeah.

0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:14.120
<v Speaker 5>See see, I don't know. I've only only heard about

0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:16.360
<v Speaker 5>this from like after the fact, because I didn't know.

0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:18.000
<v Speaker 5>I heard that he had a brother on the show,

0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:21.000
<v Speaker 5>like when we were there, and so I didn't think

0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:21.560
<v Speaker 5>anything of it.

0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:22.280
<v Speaker 2>But I didn't know it.

0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:26.120
<v Speaker 5>Went like the rabbit hole went as deep as it did. Yeah,

0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:28.280
<v Speaker 5>for me, I think with the whole situation with Aaron

0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:31.160
<v Speaker 5>was I knew that he was the vocal one about

0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:34.679
<v Speaker 5>being upset about the ice cream situation, and I could

0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:37.280
<v Speaker 5>have saw myself empathizing with him maybe a little bit.

0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:39.000
<v Speaker 5>For me, I don't see the big deal. I'm like,

0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:40.520
<v Speaker 5>what is the big deal here? You know that we're

0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:44.880
<v Speaker 5>making this commotion about. But when he pulled me aside

0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:46.800
<v Speaker 5>to talk to me at the bar, if you remember

0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:50.640
<v Speaker 5>at the cocktail party, he doesn't like make it a

0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:54.240
<v Speaker 5>situation that talks about him saying, hey, I was uncomfortable

0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:58.440
<v Speaker 5>about this situation because of this. He immediately leads into, hey,

0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:01.760
<v Speaker 5>you're not a man and you're not grown enough to

0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:04.319
<v Speaker 5>be with a woman. I'm judging your character, I'm judging

0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:05.920
<v Speaker 5>your depth. I don't think she wants to be with

0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:08.400
<v Speaker 5>a boy. And I'm like, we don't even know each other, Like,

0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:10.280
<v Speaker 5>we don't even know each other yet. So I think that,

0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:13.920
<v Speaker 5>you know, any inclination that I had to hear him

0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:15.680
<v Speaker 5>out in that moment kind of went out the window.

0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:15.960
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:18.600
<v Speaker 5>I'm like, Okay, we're gonna just make bold assumptions like that.

0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:21.240
<v Speaker 5>Then I can't help you here, buddy. You know I'm

0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:23.840
<v Speaker 5>I'm not the guy that you're gonna rile up, that's

0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:26.640
<v Speaker 5>for sure. Do I think I was a little petty

0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:29.520
<v Speaker 5>with him with the ice cream afterwards, Yes, of course,

0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:31.240
<v Speaker 5>But that's who I am a little bit. You know,

0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:34.160
<v Speaker 5>if I'm gonna get under your skin and and I'm

0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:36.240
<v Speaker 5>gonna see how people act when they're under pressure, because

0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:38.080
<v Speaker 5>I think that shows a lot of who you are

0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:41.560
<v Speaker 5>is is you know, not ideal environments.

0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:43.040
<v Speaker 2>How are you gonna operate? You know, how you're you

0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:43.880
<v Speaker 2>gonna operate.

0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:49.120
<v Speaker 4>Tell us about the book situation, like, I.

0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:50.640
<v Speaker 2>Mean, it's the same, It was the same.

0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:54.320
<v Speaker 5>Had I known it was like something that had happened

0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:56.840
<v Speaker 5>in his lineage before, I would have made probably a

0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:58.199
<v Speaker 5>little bit more of a joke.

0:12:58.040 --> 0:12:59.800
<v Speaker 2>Out of it. For me, I just thought it was

0:12:59.880 --> 0:13:00.680
<v Speaker 2>very condescending.

0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:05.439
<v Speaker 5>Again, as much fun as I'll poke at you, I'll

0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:10.439
<v Speaker 5>never like make assumptions about who you are or what

0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:13.040
<v Speaker 5>your values are and what you believe in and the

0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:14.960
<v Speaker 5>things that you deserve in life and things that you

0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:17.480
<v Speaker 5>don't deserve in life. So for me, what the biggest

0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:19.920
<v Speaker 5>thing was was he was trying to like sun me

0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:23.480
<v Speaker 5>in that moment and try to bestow this wisdom on

0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:27.760
<v Speaker 5>me that he clearly didn't have himself about maturity in

0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:29.800
<v Speaker 5>the stage where if it's if it's bothering you so much,

0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:31.680
<v Speaker 5>let's have a real conversation, let's talk about it, let's

0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:35.280
<v Speaker 5>get over it. He wanted to like get back at

0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:38.040
<v Speaker 5>me in that in that setting, and I'm sitting there like, Okay,

0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:41.440
<v Speaker 5>we're we're having this discussion again about depth, We're having

0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:43.720
<v Speaker 5>this discussion again about character. And then you just follow

0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:45.319
<v Speaker 5>up and you call me Dylan, which could have been

0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:47.680
<v Speaker 5>a joke on his part, but even in the moment, like,

0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:51.240
<v Speaker 5>if it's a joke, then you must realize how silly

0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:53.320
<v Speaker 5>you're sounding right now for making this an argument. If

0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:55.280
<v Speaker 5>it's gonna be, you know, something you make fun of

0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:58.080
<v Speaker 5>my name for so, I don't know, man it was.

0:13:58.120 --> 0:13:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Do you think you guys do you think you guys

0:13:59.880 --> 0:14:02.520
<v Speaker 1>have if you ran into him now? Do you think

0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:04.640
<v Speaker 1>you guys are could hash it out? Would be fine?

0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:10.719
<v Speaker 5>I think I think Aaron. I think Aaron's probably more

0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:17.480
<v Speaker 5>of a salvageable case than Samka for sure, just because like, uh,

0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:21.960
<v Speaker 5>Aaron just didn't seem like, I don't know, he just

0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:25.000
<v Speaker 5>didn't seem like he had too big of an issue.

0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:28.800
<v Speaker 5>It's like the collective group that he associated with once

0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:30.680
<v Speaker 5>he told him about it made such a big to do.

0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:32.640
<v Speaker 2>I think that he kind of felt the need to

0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:34.000
<v Speaker 2>like be that voice or reason.

0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:38.000
<v Speaker 1>All right, So who who is? Who is this collective group?

0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:41.360
<v Speaker 6>Uh so at that time, it's like, what it's Sam

0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:47.200
<v Speaker 6>and Thomas Thomas n I guess you can say Spencer

0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:51.760
<v Speaker 6>maybe a little bit at that time, and then obviously Aaron,

0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:55.400
<v Speaker 6>and then you got like Thomas a who's there?

0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:58.400
<v Speaker 5>But that that that group right there, you know, but

0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:01.560
<v Speaker 5>it was really mainly just those three Thomas, Sam and Aaron.

0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:05.680
<v Speaker 5>Who it was like every time I breathed there was

0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:08.000
<v Speaker 5>a reason to call up arms, you know. Every time

0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:09.760
<v Speaker 5>I moved or looked the wrong way, you know, there

0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:10.640
<v Speaker 5>was an issue in place.

0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:14.320
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, well let's get into Thomas n then because

0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:18.480
<v Speaker 3>Aaron leaves. Actually, wait before we jump off of Aaron,

0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:23.440
<v Speaker 3>how did it feel watching it back seeing kind of

0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:26.680
<v Speaker 3>the hint he gives Jen about people might not be

0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:27.960
<v Speaker 3>here for the right reasons, and do you feel like

0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:29.640
<v Speaker 3>that was about you?

0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:30.120
<v Speaker 4>Soulate?

0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:32.760
<v Speaker 2>He told me that he told me I wasn't here

0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:33.600
<v Speaker 2>for the right reasons.

0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:36.160
<v Speaker 5>At on the conversation at the bar, you heard he

0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:38.400
<v Speaker 5>says it like he's like, I don't think that you're

0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:40.920
<v Speaker 5>here for the right reasons. So in my mind, I'm like, Okay,

0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:43.400
<v Speaker 5>I know he's talking about me, like at least have

0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:45.880
<v Speaker 5>the decency to say my name or something like that.

0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:47.400
<v Speaker 3>You know, do you think he should have just said

0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:49.160
<v Speaker 3>it to Jen, like, hey, I don't think Devin is

0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:50.080
<v Speaker 3>here for the right reasons.

0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:52.720
<v Speaker 2>And at that point in time, who is everyone arguing with?

0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:56.240
<v Speaker 5>You know, I don't think it's very like hard to miss,

0:15:56.800 --> 0:15:59.400
<v Speaker 5>you know, the direct focus of where that message could

0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:01.240
<v Speaker 5>have been, you know, push, But I think it was

0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:03.760
<v Speaker 5>me and I And when when she came in and

0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:06.880
<v Speaker 5>said that, I immediately thought it was me that she

0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:10.720
<v Speaker 5>was talking She was talking about, you know, so didn't you.

0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:12.440
<v Speaker 1>Did you guys have that kind did you? And Jen

0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:15.320
<v Speaker 1>then have that conversation of like, hey, Jenna, I think

0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Aaron was talking about me.

0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:22.200
<v Speaker 5>I I did not have that conversation explicitly where I

0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:23.000
<v Speaker 5>said is Aaron?

0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:24.280
<v Speaker 2>Was Aaron talking about me?

0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:29.800
<v Speaker 5>I just made it more of a reassuring moment for

0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:32.120
<v Speaker 5>her than I was there for the right reasons. I

0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:34.000
<v Speaker 5>kind of just played it like I'm not even gonna

0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:38.240
<v Speaker 5>pay mine to this whatever is going on externally from

0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:40.120
<v Speaker 5>this guy who can't even talk to anymore, because he

0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:42.200
<v Speaker 5>didn't he didn't have the decency to say it to me.

0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:45.080
<v Speaker 5>He did, but he did it kind of backhandidly, and

0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:47.120
<v Speaker 5>then he does it to this poor girl who is,

0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:49.680
<v Speaker 5>you know, on her journey. Jenna is trying to do

0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:51.920
<v Speaker 5>her thing, and she just he throws a wrench in

0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:53.880
<v Speaker 5>it without any implications or any care about it.

0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:56.240
<v Speaker 2>So it was it was a frustrating experience.

0:16:56.640 --> 0:17:00.320
<v Speaker 5>She again, I didn't say like, oh, it is Aaron

0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:01.080
<v Speaker 5>talking about me?

0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:03.000
<v Speaker 2>But did I feel that way? Yes?

0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:05.560
<v Speaker 5>Did I bring it up to her in that way? No,

0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:09.359
<v Speaker 5>but I made it so that she was reassured.

0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:09.280
<v Speaker 2>That I was.

0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:13.240
<v Speaker 3>Therefore, how did it feel hearing him say and what

0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:14.320
<v Speaker 3>would be your sponse to it?

0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:16.800
<v Speaker 4>I guess he talks a lot about how he feels

0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:17.440
<v Speaker 4>like you're.

0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:20.280
<v Speaker 3>More of a boy than a man, and like you

0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:23.720
<v Speaker 3>are not ready for a serious commitment or to settle down.

0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:31.280
<v Speaker 5>I mean, but I could be candid about it, like

0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:34.200
<v Speaker 5>it it kind of pisses me off. You know, it's

0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:36.400
<v Speaker 5>it's again, we don't know each other that well, that's

0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:38.719
<v Speaker 5>something that I don't would even say to you know,

0:17:38.800 --> 0:17:41.280
<v Speaker 5>some friends that I have that I've been knowing for years.

0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:44.960
<v Speaker 5>I think the biggest thing for me was who are

0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:48.119
<v Speaker 5>you to assume you are so much better than me

0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:50.199
<v Speaker 5>when we don't know each other? And and for you

0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:52.439
<v Speaker 5>to kind of put yourself in my shoes when you

0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:53.520
<v Speaker 5>don't know anything about me?

0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:57.760
<v Speaker 1>Again, any did you ever get an answer to that

0:17:57.880 --> 0:18:02.280
<v Speaker 1>question about what you basically what you just said of

0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:05.040
<v Speaker 1>like you putting it back on them, like who are you?

0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:07.040
<v Speaker 1>Like you don't know who I am, Like, well, did

0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:08.040
<v Speaker 1>you ever get a response?

0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:09.520
<v Speaker 2>They would say that.

0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:12.199
<v Speaker 5>I mean, the biggest thing was like that I was

0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:14.479
<v Speaker 5>two face, that I was, that I was like acting

0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:17.520
<v Speaker 5>a different way than I was around everyone else, and

0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:19.520
<v Speaker 5>that never changed. I mean I made the same ass

0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:21.200
<v Speaker 5>of myself in front of gend a bunch of times

0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:23.080
<v Speaker 5>that I did in front of the guys.

0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:24.439
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's just for me.

0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:27.880
<v Speaker 5>I knew when you know yourself so well, and I'm

0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:29.919
<v Speaker 5>not going to say I know myself perfectly, but I

0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:32.480
<v Speaker 5>think with my life experiences and things that I've gone through,

0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:34.639
<v Speaker 5>I know myself very very well. You know, I know

0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:39.199
<v Speaker 5>my flaws, I know my mind. The show, Yeah, thank you,

0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:40.720
<v Speaker 5>and I appreciate that.

0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:41.040
<v Speaker 2>Guys.

0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:44.560
<v Speaker 5>I think that for me, when when I know myself

0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:47.800
<v Speaker 5>that to that extent, none of these little words are

0:18:47.800 --> 0:18:49.159
<v Speaker 5>going to trigger me. And I think that was what

0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:52.640
<v Speaker 5>frustrated everyone so much about me, was that they were

0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:55.719
<v Speaker 5>trying to assume and place this judgment and put this

0:18:55.760 --> 0:18:58.159
<v Speaker 5>like mask on me that wasn't there, and I it

0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:00.320
<v Speaker 5>wasn't going to bother me. You know, I was there

0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:01.879
<v Speaker 5>for Jen. I had no idea about the show. I

0:19:01.880 --> 0:19:05.719
<v Speaker 5>don't care about the antics or the unwritten rules or

0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:08.639
<v Speaker 5>the group collective thinking that I think was going on

0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:10.520
<v Speaker 5>at that time. I was just focused on her, and

0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:11.920
<v Speaker 5>I think that's what rubbed a lot of the guys

0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:12.399
<v Speaker 5>from away.

0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:16.239
<v Speaker 1>So were there any guys that you were I mean,

0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:18.280
<v Speaker 1>obviously there were, I should have phrased it like that,

0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:19.680
<v Speaker 1>But who were you friends with?

0:19:19.760 --> 0:19:19.840
<v Speaker 2>Like?

0:19:19.920 --> 0:19:22.320
<v Speaker 1>Who was team?

0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:26.359
<v Speaker 5>I think it's bigger than you might may expect, you know,

0:19:26.440 --> 0:19:29.800
<v Speaker 5>I Jonathan was really close to me, Uh, Grant, sam

0:19:29.920 --> 0:19:34.560
<v Speaker 5>N Love sam N, Brian, you know those guys.

0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:37.560
<v Speaker 2>Marcus was fantastic to me. Uh, even Austin.

0:19:37.600 --> 0:19:40.439
<v Speaker 5>You know, a lot of the guys were very good

0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:44.640
<v Speaker 5>talking points for me, because again, with with so much

0:19:44.640 --> 0:19:47.560
<v Speaker 5>commotion and chaos it, you know, I'd like to say,

0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:49.280
<v Speaker 5>I'm so high mighty, I don't need to like talk

0:19:49.320 --> 0:19:51.399
<v Speaker 5>about it, but you know, I'd like to get some

0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:53.600
<v Speaker 5>solace and some comfort from the guys in the house

0:19:53.640 --> 0:19:56.080
<v Speaker 5>every now and then. And and that I think was

0:19:56.119 --> 0:19:58.119
<v Speaker 5>the big defining moment. Was a lot of the guys

0:19:58.160 --> 0:20:00.800
<v Speaker 5>like John and then they didn't have a problem with

0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:04.240
<v Speaker 5>how I operated. It was just the small numbers that

0:20:04.240 --> 0:20:06.960
<v Speaker 5>were making such a loud noise. It kind of felt

0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:09.040
<v Speaker 5>like everyone was against me when it wasn't that way.

0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:12.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and I feel like it was really this Aaron

0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:15.160
<v Speaker 3>versus Devin situation with a little bit of noise from

0:20:15.240 --> 0:20:18.960
<v Speaker 3>a few other people. And then once Aaron left, thomas

0:20:19.160 --> 0:20:21.280
<v Speaker 3>En and Sam why.

0:20:21.160 --> 0:20:23.840
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't even say Thomas. I mean, thomas En kind

0:20:23.840 --> 0:20:27.480
<v Speaker 1>of just seemed in Krabata almost like he was mimicking

0:20:27.640 --> 0:20:31.359
<v Speaker 1>just whatever Sam was saying.

0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:35.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, maybe I don't know, but I mean we did

0:20:35.040 --> 0:20:39.359
<v Speaker 3>see that big moment Thomas ed Paul at you from Jen.

0:20:39.440 --> 0:20:42.000
<v Speaker 3>I feel like that was the next kind of one

0:20:42.320 --> 0:20:46.480
<v Speaker 3>v one conflict that you had. What was that moment?

0:20:46.640 --> 0:20:48.960
<v Speaker 3>Like walk us through that actually take us back to

0:20:49.000 --> 0:20:52.840
<v Speaker 3>the conversation. Did you agree to let these eight guys

0:20:52.880 --> 0:20:54.840
<v Speaker 3>who didn't get time with Jen on the group date

0:20:55.320 --> 0:20:57.840
<v Speaker 3>all line up and go first and talk to Jen?

0:20:58.280 --> 0:21:05.000
<v Speaker 5>Absolutely, I don't know where that came from for me.

0:21:06.800 --> 0:21:09.399
<v Speaker 5>I remember everybody coming back from the Safari date. They

0:21:09.400 --> 0:21:11.960
<v Speaker 5>were very frustrated, you know. I got that, you know,

0:21:12.000 --> 0:21:14.399
<v Speaker 5>and I'm talking to them, I'm and I'm consoling them

0:21:14.440 --> 0:21:17.560
<v Speaker 5>about how to feel and whatnot. But you know, for

0:21:17.800 --> 0:21:20.280
<v Speaker 5>them to assume that I said I wouldn't go first

0:21:20.320 --> 0:21:23.920
<v Speaker 5>as completely asinine first of all, and second of all,

0:21:24.359 --> 0:21:27.720
<v Speaker 5>in my mind, I'm, like you guys have said it,

0:21:27.760 --> 0:21:30.439
<v Speaker 5>like I'm dealing with a lot right now, you know,

0:21:30.560 --> 0:21:34.880
<v Speaker 5>from all different sides, in all different angles, so as twisted,

0:21:34.920 --> 0:21:38.160
<v Speaker 5>and people will say that I'm this is not true.

0:21:38.160 --> 0:21:40.840
<v Speaker 5>But in my mind, what I thought was the valiant

0:21:41.320 --> 0:21:43.879
<v Speaker 5>effort was to go first, so that I wasn't going

0:21:43.920 --> 0:21:45.840
<v Speaker 5>to bother anybody, because anything that I did at that

0:21:45.880 --> 0:21:47.959
<v Speaker 5>point was going to be perceived as wrong or I

0:21:48.040 --> 0:21:50.320
<v Speaker 5>was doing something against the grain of what the other

0:21:50.359 --> 0:21:51.000
<v Speaker 5>guys were thinking.

0:21:51.000 --> 0:21:53.879
<v Speaker 2>And I think that was that group collective thought. And

0:21:53.920 --> 0:21:54.960
<v Speaker 2>Brian even said it.

0:21:54.880 --> 0:21:56.640
<v Speaker 5>You know, when I was having that conversation with Jen,

0:21:56.720 --> 0:21:59.000
<v Speaker 5>that maybe I was just doing that so I didn't

0:21:59.040 --> 0:22:01.639
<v Speaker 5>interrupt anybody, you know, And that's that's how I felt

0:22:01.640 --> 0:22:03.480
<v Speaker 5>in that moment, was like, Hey, I'm gonna be the

0:22:03.520 --> 0:22:07.359
<v Speaker 5>bad guy no matter what. This is like the path

0:22:07.400 --> 0:22:10.719
<v Speaker 5>of least resistance for me. Let's just get it over with.

0:22:11.240 --> 0:22:13.960
<v Speaker 5>And again, had Thomas had come and said, hey, buddy,

0:22:14.000 --> 0:22:16.280
<v Speaker 5>your time is up, you know, I was ready to

0:22:17.280 --> 0:22:18.600
<v Speaker 5>throw in the white flag, you know, I was.

0:22:18.760 --> 0:22:20.320
<v Speaker 2>I would have gotten up no problems, you know.

0:22:20.560 --> 0:22:24.879
<v Speaker 5>But then obviously that didn't happen, So, Yeah, was there

0:22:24.920 --> 0:22:26.400
<v Speaker 5>a part of you that was like, if I don't

0:22:26.440 --> 0:22:29.400
<v Speaker 5>go first, I'm gonna have to interrupt her with one

0:22:29.400 --> 0:22:30.120
<v Speaker 5>of these guys.

0:22:30.160 --> 0:22:32.320
<v Speaker 3>And I would much rather just pull her than have

0:22:32.440 --> 0:22:34.520
<v Speaker 3>to have this conflict like I did with Aaron, where

0:22:34.520 --> 0:22:36.040
<v Speaker 3>I'm like interrupting her time.

0:22:36.400 --> 0:22:38.720
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely absolutely, and that was that was my.

0:22:40.720 --> 0:22:43.240
<v Speaker 5>Battle in my head, was like, Okay, do I do

0:22:43.280 --> 0:22:48.439
<v Speaker 5>I look like I'm taking initiative and kind of being

0:22:48.480 --> 0:22:51.720
<v Speaker 5>like Devin again doing a devon moment by going first?

0:22:52.080 --> 0:22:54.840
<v Speaker 5>Or am I being you know, a quote unquote bully

0:22:54.880 --> 0:22:56.680
<v Speaker 5>by interrupting somebody during their time.

0:22:56.920 --> 0:22:58.080
<v Speaker 2>And I don't know who it could have been.

0:22:58.119 --> 0:23:00.240
<v Speaker 5>I don't want to find out, you know that have knew,

0:23:00.280 --> 0:23:02.639
<v Speaker 5>because again it was I saw how that happened with

0:23:02.680 --> 0:23:03.440
<v Speaker 5>Aaron already.

0:23:03.800 --> 0:23:07.480
<v Speaker 2>I already felt that like shame when I was.

0:23:07.440 --> 0:23:09.760
<v Speaker 5>Talking with Jen after the fact too that I even

0:23:09.800 --> 0:23:10.359
<v Speaker 5>had to do that.

0:23:10.400 --> 0:23:11.639
<v Speaker 2>So I wasn't gonna do that again.

0:23:13.119 --> 0:23:16.040
<v Speaker 5>So that was my good guy moment, I guess, and

0:23:16.240 --> 0:23:17.320
<v Speaker 5>it clearly didn't.

0:23:18.280 --> 0:23:19.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, back, what.

0:23:18.960 --> 0:23:21.040
<v Speaker 3>Did you think of Thomas n pulling you into the

0:23:21.080 --> 0:23:22.800
<v Speaker 3>hallway and you guys kind of going at it?

0:23:23.040 --> 0:23:24.680
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely ridiculous?

0:23:25.400 --> 0:23:26.320
<v Speaker 1>It's pretty ridiculous.

0:23:26.400 --> 0:23:27.040
<v Speaker 2>It was ridiculous.

0:23:27.040 --> 0:23:30.000
<v Speaker 5>I mean, like I can sit here and say the watch,

0:23:30.200 --> 0:23:31.960
<v Speaker 5>I feel for the guy, but I don't.

0:23:32.080 --> 0:23:33.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't feel for the guy in that moment.

0:23:35.400 --> 0:23:39.000
<v Speaker 5>I get his frustrations, and I'll say this, I think Thomas,

0:23:39.160 --> 0:23:42.120
<v Speaker 5>I feel like he's pushing himself down this path that

0:23:42.200 --> 0:23:44.280
<v Speaker 5>like he doesn't really see where it's gonna end up.

0:23:44.280 --> 0:23:46.440
<v Speaker 5>But I know it's disastrous form if he keeps going.

0:23:46.560 --> 0:23:48.919
<v Speaker 5>So for me, I feel that in my mind. I

0:23:48.920 --> 0:23:51.240
<v Speaker 5>feel that empathy for him. But the way that he

0:23:51.320 --> 0:23:54.399
<v Speaker 5>handled it, I'm like, dude, this is the gotta be

0:23:54.560 --> 0:23:57.000
<v Speaker 5>one of the all time dumbest things I've ever seen

0:23:57.359 --> 0:23:57.960
<v Speaker 5>in my life.

0:23:58.000 --> 0:24:00.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean it had to have been. And you know,

0:24:00.600 --> 0:24:02.480
<v Speaker 2>it took even me to say, like, hey.

0:24:02.440 --> 0:24:05.000
<v Speaker 5>Jen, do you mind if I like get up and

0:24:05.080 --> 0:24:07.480
<v Speaker 5>argue with this guy for a second, Like do you mind?

0:24:08.000 --> 0:24:10.800
<v Speaker 2>And and he didn't even say hi to her, He didn't.

0:24:11.320 --> 0:24:13.679
<v Speaker 5>Exactly what you saw is exactly how it happened, like

0:24:14.200 --> 0:24:18.280
<v Speaker 5>grabs my arm, takes me around the corner, and then fire.

0:24:18.119 --> 0:24:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Ensuits like it was. It was insane, completely.

0:24:20.840 --> 0:24:23.360
<v Speaker 1>As move yees see. I didn't get that because we

0:24:23.400 --> 0:24:26.320
<v Speaker 1>interviewed him he was our first interview of Your Guys season,

0:24:26.359 --> 0:24:29.800
<v Speaker 1>and I just didn't really get just like a side

0:24:29.800 --> 0:24:33.560
<v Speaker 1>that wants to like be involved in drama or anything

0:24:33.600 --> 0:24:35.840
<v Speaker 1>like that. He was super nice in the podcast, So yeah,

0:24:35.880 --> 0:24:37.840
<v Speaker 1>watching it, I was like, oh, okay.

0:24:37.680 --> 0:24:39.240
<v Speaker 4>Like it feels like he got carried away.

0:24:39.359 --> 0:24:42.919
<v Speaker 3>But when you're having a conversation, is in the back

0:24:42.960 --> 0:24:45.359
<v Speaker 3>of your mind that you're like Jen is literally right there,

0:24:45.560 --> 0:24:47.720
<v Speaker 3>like she is in the hall, Like she's right in

0:24:47.760 --> 0:24:48.600
<v Speaker 3>this room next to us.

0:24:48.600 --> 0:24:50.879
<v Speaker 4>There's no door, oh yeah, just a doorframe.

0:24:51.280 --> 0:24:53.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah. And for me, I think the biggest thing

0:24:53.880 --> 0:24:57.040
<v Speaker 2>was like I like to talk.

0:24:57.200 --> 0:24:59.640
<v Speaker 5>I don't know if anybody's got that already figured out,

0:24:59.680 --> 0:25:01.960
<v Speaker 5>but and I also know how to carry a conversation

0:25:02.040 --> 0:25:05.680
<v Speaker 5>and flow a conversation. So in my mind, not only

0:25:05.680 --> 0:25:08.600
<v Speaker 5>do I know that he's making an egregious like mistake

0:25:08.680 --> 0:25:12.080
<v Speaker 5>for himself and with Jen, but I'm gonna help him

0:25:12.119 --> 0:25:15.000
<v Speaker 5>flow that completely wrong and let him completely make a

0:25:15.000 --> 0:25:15.719
<v Speaker 5>fool of himself.

0:25:15.760 --> 0:25:16.920
<v Speaker 2>And so I'm so.

0:25:17.680 --> 0:25:21.200
<v Speaker 5>I'm like, at one point I'm trying to like cut

0:25:21.240 --> 0:25:23.800
<v Speaker 5>the argument off, but at another point in my mind,

0:25:23.840 --> 0:25:25.840
<v Speaker 5>I'm like, all right, if you're gonna say all of

0:25:25.840 --> 0:25:27.160
<v Speaker 5>these things, right here, right now.

0:25:27.240 --> 0:25:30.399
<v Speaker 2>Then, I'm really gonna highlight how dumb you sound in

0:25:30.440 --> 0:25:31.639
<v Speaker 2>this in this setting.

0:25:31.960 --> 0:25:36.359
<v Speaker 5>So I was very very surprised that he didn't like

0:25:36.440 --> 0:25:38.800
<v Speaker 5>take precaution to what Jen was saying. I'm surprised he

0:25:38.840 --> 0:25:41.560
<v Speaker 5>didn't like ask me to go, you know, outside or

0:25:41.600 --> 0:25:42.399
<v Speaker 5>something like that.

0:25:42.400 --> 0:25:44.159
<v Speaker 2>That was a shock factor for me.

0:25:44.280 --> 0:25:45.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, what do you think was going through his head?

0:25:46.119 --> 0:25:49.280
<v Speaker 3>Like how do you think in thomas EN's mind he

0:25:49.520 --> 0:25:53.000
<v Speaker 3>saw this looking and playing out?

0:25:53.960 --> 0:25:56.440
<v Speaker 5>I mean there's only one way, right, there's only one

0:25:56.440 --> 0:25:59.240
<v Speaker 5>way that he can possibly look good in this moment,

0:25:59.280 --> 0:26:03.240
<v Speaker 5>and that's if and is like, you're right, Thomas, like

0:26:03.400 --> 0:26:05.400
<v Speaker 5>all of these things that I don't know what is happening,

0:26:05.880 --> 0:26:08.240
<v Speaker 5>I'm validating you for and I'm gonna agree with you.

0:26:08.400 --> 0:26:11.600
<v Speaker 5>And Devin, You're gone get out right now. I can't

0:26:11.600 --> 0:26:15.200
<v Speaker 5>believe that you're even still here. You're disgusting, Like that's

0:26:15.240 --> 0:26:17.320
<v Speaker 5>the only way that it could have worked, And that's

0:26:17.720 --> 0:26:19.520
<v Speaker 5>what are the chances of that happening?

0:26:20.040 --> 0:26:20.280
<v Speaker 2>Zero?

0:26:20.600 --> 0:26:22.480
<v Speaker 5>You know they're not not for my own sake, But

0:26:22.560 --> 0:26:25.080
<v Speaker 5>just like, there's no way you can spend that argument

0:26:25.119 --> 0:26:27.800
<v Speaker 5>the way that you did, especially how confrontational he was

0:26:28.480 --> 0:26:31.000
<v Speaker 5>into a good light. There's no way that you can

0:26:31.040 --> 0:26:31.280
<v Speaker 5>get that.

0:26:31.680 --> 0:26:34.239
<v Speaker 1>He just he just flew off the handle and just

0:26:34.280 --> 0:26:43.000
<v Speaker 1>didn't think about it. All right, So then let's get

0:26:43.040 --> 0:26:47.800
<v Speaker 1>into samm the Samma of all things favorite, you know, yeah,

0:26:48.040 --> 0:26:49.840
<v Speaker 1>like is it is it?

0:26:50.040 --> 0:26:50.119
<v Speaker 3>Like?

0:26:50.880 --> 0:26:52.440
<v Speaker 1>Do you guys really hate each other?

0:26:52.560 --> 0:26:52.639
<v Speaker 2>Like?

0:26:52.680 --> 0:26:55.440
<v Speaker 1>What is what's the situation?

0:26:57.920 --> 0:27:00.919
<v Speaker 2>I don't hate anybody on the on the show. I

0:27:00.960 --> 0:27:02.080
<v Speaker 2>don't hate a single person.

0:27:02.080 --> 0:27:05.360
<v Speaker 5>I've been very atant that I don't hate anyone and

0:27:05.119 --> 0:27:07.439
<v Speaker 5>I and I still don't hate a very strong word.

0:27:10.320 --> 0:27:12.560
<v Speaker 5>It's like, at what point am I going to keep

0:27:12.600 --> 0:27:14.679
<v Speaker 5>trying to pour effort into something I know I'm not

0:27:14.680 --> 0:27:17.240
<v Speaker 5>going to get the results out of? You know, I

0:27:17.240 --> 0:27:20.439
<v Speaker 5>I know that Sam's not gonna like me for whatever reason,

0:27:20.560 --> 0:27:23.080
<v Speaker 5>and and and at this point, he hasn't even discussed

0:27:24.240 --> 0:27:25.200
<v Speaker 5>these things with me.

0:27:25.480 --> 0:27:27.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't even know why he doesn't like me.

0:27:27.119 --> 0:27:29.879
<v Speaker 5>I have no inclination of this other than maybe that

0:27:30.000 --> 0:27:32.240
<v Speaker 5>I pissed off a couple of his buddies like Aaron

0:27:32.359 --> 0:27:32.920
<v Speaker 5>and Thomas.

0:27:32.920 --> 0:27:37.000
<v Speaker 2>You know, I have no reasoning as to why he

0:27:37.119 --> 0:27:38.920
<v Speaker 2>thinks the way he thinks of me. We do not

0:27:39.680 --> 0:27:39.879
<v Speaker 2>like he.

0:27:39.840 --> 0:27:42.080
<v Speaker 1>Should seem like, yeah, cause it seemed like the only

0:27:42.160 --> 0:27:46.720
<v Speaker 1>conversation between you, twoe was I don't respect you. Well,

0:27:46.760 --> 0:27:49.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't respect you, And that's kind of what it's like.

0:27:49.600 --> 0:27:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Why there was never there was he did? He was

0:27:52.520 --> 0:27:55.000
<v Speaker 1>there ever a reason like why I don't respect you?

0:27:55.920 --> 0:27:59.159
<v Speaker 5>I think that he maybe thought that I could have,

0:27:59.720 --> 0:28:03.320
<v Speaker 5>you know, been two faced or somehow, you know, based

0:28:03.359 --> 0:28:04.440
<v Speaker 5>on the way that I've been acting.

0:28:04.480 --> 0:28:07.159
<v Speaker 2>And there's no way that this is who he really is.

0:28:07.240 --> 0:28:08.960
<v Speaker 2>There's got to be somebody different.

0:28:08.960 --> 0:28:12.320
<v Speaker 5>But I think that I think that in my mind,

0:28:12.440 --> 0:28:14.720
<v Speaker 5>the reason that Sam doesn't like me is because he's

0:28:15.440 --> 0:28:17.800
<v Speaker 5>he's probably met someone like me in his life in

0:28:17.840 --> 0:28:20.320
<v Speaker 5>real life that he doesn't like, and he's associating me

0:28:20.480 --> 0:28:23.480
<v Speaker 5>with that person, and no matter what I say or do,

0:28:23.600 --> 0:28:26.560
<v Speaker 5>it's always going to have that effect on him. I know,

0:28:26.680 --> 0:28:31.639
<v Speaker 5>I'm not necessarily like the easiest guy at all times,

0:28:31.680 --> 0:28:34.080
<v Speaker 5>but I'm not like a disrespectful person or anything like that.

0:28:34.119 --> 0:28:36.479
<v Speaker 5>I'll make somebody laugh, you know, I'm very embracing. I'm

0:28:36.560 --> 0:28:39.560
<v Speaker 5>very comforting when it comes to people. So for me,

0:28:39.600 --> 0:28:42.160
<v Speaker 5>I didn't know, but in my mind, I'm like, Okay,

0:28:42.200 --> 0:28:45.239
<v Speaker 5>this isn't going to change. So if it's not going

0:28:45.280 --> 0:28:47.840
<v Speaker 5>to change, I might as well have a little fun

0:28:47.880 --> 0:28:48.640
<v Speaker 5>with it, you know.

0:28:49.160 --> 0:28:50.920
<v Speaker 3>I think you can be onto something of the like

0:28:51.000 --> 0:28:54.000
<v Speaker 3>he's met someone like me, and like he's associating that.

0:28:54.120 --> 0:28:58.320
<v Speaker 3>Do you think there was any element of competition with

0:28:58.440 --> 0:29:00.280
<v Speaker 3>the two of you that he felt in this I

0:29:00.280 --> 0:29:01.920
<v Speaker 3>think it's pretty obvious at this point in the season,

0:29:01.960 --> 0:29:04.000
<v Speaker 3>but also quite early on, like Sam m gets that

0:29:04.040 --> 0:29:08.280
<v Speaker 3>first impression Rose, you're pulling Jen, you're getting early on

0:29:08.440 --> 0:29:10.480
<v Speaker 3>Roses as well. Do you think he looks at you

0:29:10.520 --> 0:29:14.040
<v Speaker 3>potentially as a direct threat as maybe, you know, his

0:29:14.480 --> 0:29:17.120
<v Speaker 3>main competitor in this fight for Jen's heart.

0:29:17.360 --> 0:29:20.080
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I think I think the difference with Sam and

0:29:20.120 --> 0:29:23.280
<v Speaker 5>I is that were so polar in how we operate

0:29:23.320 --> 0:29:27.200
<v Speaker 5>in life. You know, Sam, Sam's good looking guy. There's

0:29:27.480 --> 0:29:29.440
<v Speaker 5>I won't say very many nice things about him, but

0:29:29.480 --> 0:29:30.360
<v Speaker 5>that's one thing I'll say.

0:29:30.400 --> 0:29:31.720
<v Speaker 2>You know, he's a good looking guy.

0:29:31.800 --> 0:29:33.880
<v Speaker 5>And I think that he's kind of had it easy

0:29:33.880 --> 0:29:36.480
<v Speaker 5>and maybe the women department a little bit, not saying

0:29:36.480 --> 0:29:39.200
<v Speaker 5>that I've had such a hard time, but me and

0:29:39.240 --> 0:29:43.760
<v Speaker 5>me and him we do things completely differently in life,

0:29:43.800 --> 0:29:47.040
<v Speaker 5>and I think he doesn't understanding that I can achieve

0:29:47.120 --> 0:29:50.040
<v Speaker 5>the same things that he's necessarily achieved by being getting

0:29:50.040 --> 0:29:53.520
<v Speaker 5>all this attention, being validated by this woman that you like,

0:29:53.920 --> 0:29:56.200
<v Speaker 5>you know, having these experiences with her and her enjoying it.

0:29:56.480 --> 0:30:00.840
<v Speaker 5>I think that it's frustrating him that he almost sees

0:30:00.920 --> 0:30:04.800
<v Speaker 5>himself as better than me. Why is this guy, you know,

0:30:05.440 --> 0:30:07.400
<v Speaker 5>on the same level in Gen's eyes or maybe a

0:30:07.400 --> 0:30:08.920
<v Speaker 5>little bit low. I don't know where the rankings are

0:30:08.960 --> 0:30:10.320
<v Speaker 5>at this point, but you know what I mean, Like,

0:30:10.760 --> 0:30:11.320
<v Speaker 5>he's just.

0:30:11.280 --> 0:30:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Well you think that you think that's true? Do you

0:30:13.040 --> 0:30:16.760
<v Speaker 1>think he looked looked down on you? Like I'm better

0:30:16.800 --> 0:30:19.520
<v Speaker 1>than this guy? Why? Why does Jenn even like him?

0:30:19.960 --> 0:30:20.440
<v Speaker 2>How about this?

0:30:20.560 --> 0:30:23.400
<v Speaker 5>I'll say this, I'll say in my mind, I think

0:30:23.440 --> 0:30:28.000
<v Speaker 5>he thinks he thinks he's better than me, but he

0:30:28.040 --> 0:30:31.400
<v Speaker 5>doesn't know why. It's not translating into real life.

0:30:31.440 --> 0:30:33.280
<v Speaker 3>The first time we see you guys kind of go

0:30:33.360 --> 0:30:35.720
<v Speaker 3>head to head, because you know, we've seen you with Aaron,

0:30:35.760 --> 0:30:37.720
<v Speaker 3>we've seen you with Thomas, but sam M is kind

0:30:37.720 --> 0:30:39.640
<v Speaker 3>of always mixed up in it. But the first time

0:30:39.640 --> 0:30:41.480
<v Speaker 3>we really see you guys go at it is over

0:30:41.680 --> 0:30:45.600
<v Speaker 3>the sam N drama which sam M and sam N

0:30:45.640 --> 0:30:47.560
<v Speaker 3>has just been really confusing for us this season. But

0:30:48.120 --> 0:30:50.640
<v Speaker 3>sam N, for those of you listening, was the love virgin.

0:30:51.320 --> 0:30:54.760
<v Speaker 3>He confesses his feelings on that down under group date.

0:30:55.880 --> 0:31:00.800
<v Speaker 3>We see Sam m and Thomas have a reaction to

0:31:00.920 --> 0:31:03.640
<v Speaker 3>that that is not supportive. There's a lot of laughing

0:31:03.680 --> 0:31:05.280
<v Speaker 3>and a lot of teasing going on, and we see

0:31:05.320 --> 0:31:09.840
<v Speaker 3>you stand up for Sam and what motivated you to

0:31:10.000 --> 0:31:12.520
<v Speaker 3>speak up in defense of Sam hatton.

0:31:14.560 --> 0:31:16.280
<v Speaker 2>A couple of things.

0:31:16.680 --> 0:31:18.760
<v Speaker 5>One I I had been I had been the brunt

0:31:18.800 --> 0:31:21.240
<v Speaker 5>of their ship for so long, you know, So it

0:31:21.280 --> 0:31:23.640
<v Speaker 5>was just like that fume to a point where I

0:31:23.680 --> 0:31:26.560
<v Speaker 5>was tired of hearing about it, especially like you said, like,

0:31:26.600 --> 0:31:29.640
<v Speaker 5>they don't they don't confront people directly. Me if I've

0:31:29.680 --> 0:31:31.600
<v Speaker 5>ever had a problem with somebody, I'll walk right up

0:31:31.600 --> 0:31:33.680
<v Speaker 5>to your face and I'll say, hey, like I do

0:31:33.720 --> 0:31:34.480
<v Speaker 5>we have a problem.

0:31:34.520 --> 0:31:36.200
<v Speaker 2>What's our problem? If so, are we gonna fix it?

0:31:36.240 --> 0:31:37.800
<v Speaker 2>If not, then we need to go our separate ways.

0:31:38.160 --> 0:31:41.000
<v Speaker 5>Them they they like to, you know, whisper a little

0:31:41.040 --> 0:31:43.720
<v Speaker 5>bit and kind of let that problem fester. So that

0:31:43.840 --> 0:31:46.120
<v Speaker 5>was a boiling point for me. I'm the oldest brother

0:31:46.240 --> 0:31:48.480
<v Speaker 5>in my family. I have a younger brother who's very

0:31:49.000 --> 0:31:53.280
<v Speaker 5>like shy Uh didn't have a much harder life than

0:31:53.280 --> 0:31:57.320
<v Speaker 5>me growing up, So I protected that little dude all

0:31:57.360 --> 0:31:59.520
<v Speaker 5>the time. He's my best friend. He's one of the

0:31:59.560 --> 0:32:01.400
<v Speaker 5>people that I look up through the most. And even

0:32:01.400 --> 0:32:04.960
<v Speaker 5>though he's my younger brother, and I saw a little

0:32:04.960 --> 0:32:08.400
<v Speaker 5>bit of similar characteristics. Not like saying Samn is my

0:32:08.480 --> 0:32:12.760
<v Speaker 5>brother by any means, but you know, Sam just went

0:32:12.800 --> 0:32:16.320
<v Speaker 5>through the ringer already, you know, with Jen, without anyone

0:32:16.320 --> 0:32:20.080
<v Speaker 5>else needing to make him feel about the situation. You know,

0:32:20.160 --> 0:32:23.400
<v Speaker 5>he's imagine what's going through his head in that time,

0:32:23.560 --> 0:32:26.400
<v Speaker 5>not at the night portion, just wall, you know, think

0:32:26.440 --> 0:32:29.200
<v Speaker 5>about it like he's he's he just said he loves

0:32:29.240 --> 0:32:32.000
<v Speaker 5>you after seeing my ass on TV or on right

0:32:32.080 --> 0:32:33.120
<v Speaker 5>before him, you know what I mean.

0:32:33.160 --> 0:32:36.160
<v Speaker 2>And you know he doesn't know how to feel.

0:32:36.160 --> 0:32:38.480
<v Speaker 5>He's got a ride home thinking about that, then get

0:32:38.520 --> 0:32:41.600
<v Speaker 5>ready for the Imagine how long that shower was, you know,

0:32:41.760 --> 0:32:44.800
<v Speaker 5>probably the longest shower ever. And so for me, it

0:32:44.880 --> 0:32:47.200
<v Speaker 5>was like, why kick a Why kick a man when

0:32:47.200 --> 0:32:49.360
<v Speaker 5>he's already down? You know, if you're gonna if you're

0:32:49.360 --> 0:32:51.200
<v Speaker 5>gonna whisper a whisper, nobody can control that.

0:32:51.240 --> 0:32:53.680
<v Speaker 2>I can't stop you guys from talking wherever you guys talk.

0:32:53.800 --> 0:32:58.520
<v Speaker 5>But when he's trying to have this moment where he

0:32:58.680 --> 0:33:01.840
<v Speaker 5>needs us, you know, he needed us in that. Hey,

0:33:01.960 --> 0:33:04.560
<v Speaker 5>I'm sorry that this kind of came off this way.

0:33:04.600 --> 0:33:05.960
<v Speaker 5>And I don't even think he was doing it for us.

0:33:06.000 --> 0:33:07.920
<v Speaker 5>I think he was doing it for himself, you know,

0:33:08.000 --> 0:33:11.400
<v Speaker 5>to validate himself and to get shot down like that

0:33:11.520 --> 0:33:13.360
<v Speaker 5>right in his face, you know, just laughing at him.

0:33:13.360 --> 0:33:15.560
<v Speaker 2>I was like, fuck this too.

0:33:15.800 --> 0:33:19.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, I agree that that was a little Uh,

0:33:19.520 --> 0:33:21.440
<v Speaker 1>that was rough. That was rough to watch the whole thing.

0:33:21.480 --> 0:33:25.400
<v Speaker 1>And then then sam End's exit wasn't wasn't wasn't great?

0:33:25.680 --> 0:33:30.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah it was. That was not great between you and Sam?

0:33:30.920 --> 0:33:36.440
<v Speaker 1>M was there was there ever any like nice moments

0:33:36.440 --> 0:33:38.320
<v Speaker 1>of like hey, like we just both got to drink

0:33:38.320 --> 0:33:40.080
<v Speaker 1>at the bar like chairs kind of like did you

0:33:40.080 --> 0:33:45.200
<v Speaker 1>guys ever? Or is it just like crazy? Well, there's

0:33:45.240 --> 0:33:47.160
<v Speaker 1>a part of me that's watching it, right, and I

0:33:47.240 --> 0:33:50.360
<v Speaker 1>get like this feud between you guys, well, I guess

0:33:50.400 --> 0:33:53.400
<v Speaker 1>there's a part of that's watching it, like maybe they

0:33:53.520 --> 0:33:56.600
<v Speaker 1>both like chill out and like could kind of like

0:33:56.640 --> 0:33:59.200
<v Speaker 1>make amends and and almost become friends.

0:34:00.240 --> 0:34:04.120
<v Speaker 5>But no, okay, no, I am in my mind and

0:34:04.760 --> 0:34:07.520
<v Speaker 5>in Sam's mind, I am the embodiment of everything that

0:34:07.600 --> 0:34:10.680
<v Speaker 5>he has disagreed with his like entire life, you know, so,

0:34:12.160 --> 0:34:12.719
<v Speaker 5>and but but.

0:34:12.760 --> 0:34:14.719
<v Speaker 2>Also not just that. I mean, I'm friends with a

0:34:14.719 --> 0:34:15.759
<v Speaker 2>lot of the guys in the house.

0:34:15.760 --> 0:34:18.480
<v Speaker 5>Even at this point, you know, Sam and Thomas would

0:34:18.520 --> 0:34:22.400
<v Speaker 5>isolate themselves willingly from the group and just like do

0:34:22.520 --> 0:34:25.200
<v Speaker 5>their thing, and and so you know they're not They're

0:34:25.239 --> 0:34:27.560
<v Speaker 5>not making it any easier for us already in this

0:34:27.640 --> 0:34:31.480
<v Speaker 5>uncomfortable environment. Everyone else is like getting secondhand embarrassment or

0:34:31.480 --> 0:34:33.560
<v Speaker 5>not uncomfortability, I guess the better word, you know. So

0:34:33.600 --> 0:34:37.239
<v Speaker 5>it's like I'm at least trying to is what does

0:34:37.239 --> 0:34:39.080
<v Speaker 5>he say? Keep the main thing, the main thing? So

0:34:39.120 --> 0:34:41.759
<v Speaker 5>I'm trying, you know, I'm trying at least, and they're not,

0:34:42.000 --> 0:34:44.200
<v Speaker 5>you know, So that I think is the big discrepancy

0:34:44.239 --> 0:34:45.640
<v Speaker 5>between you know, Sam and I.

0:34:46.840 --> 0:34:51.400
<v Speaker 3>What was your reaction seeing all of Sam EM's interviews,

0:34:51.600 --> 0:34:54.040
<v Speaker 3>because there was a few episodes where he had a

0:34:54.160 --> 0:34:56.759
<v Speaker 3>lot of things to say about you in his interviews,

0:34:56.840 --> 0:34:59.560
<v Speaker 3>which I'm sure you know, maybe I don't know if

0:34:59.560 --> 0:35:01.440
<v Speaker 3>you were sp because I know he was saying a

0:35:01.440 --> 0:35:02.480
<v Speaker 3>lot to your face as well.

0:35:02.560 --> 0:35:03.640
<v Speaker 4>But what was your reaction?

0:35:04.040 --> 0:35:08.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh, oh, it was very telling in my mind, you know.

0:35:09.239 --> 0:35:12.520
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, he would say, like I don't respect you, or

0:35:13.360 --> 0:35:15.160
<v Speaker 5>you know, I don't like you to my face, I

0:35:15.160 --> 0:35:17.120
<v Speaker 5>get that, but to like call me a bitch and

0:35:17.120 --> 0:35:20.000
<v Speaker 5>stuff like that behind the cameras, Like, it's very telling. Again,

0:35:20.120 --> 0:35:25.200
<v Speaker 5>I'm not I'm not talking about these guys the way

0:35:25.239 --> 0:35:27.160
<v Speaker 5>that they're talking about me. If I if I make

0:35:27.200 --> 0:35:30.160
<v Speaker 5>a joke about them or about Sam in particular, it's

0:35:30.200 --> 0:35:32.680
<v Speaker 5>usually about like I just did like to keep the

0:35:32.719 --> 0:35:34.600
<v Speaker 5>main thing the main thing. It's one of those things like,

0:35:34.680 --> 0:35:37.160
<v Speaker 5>you know, I'm never like taking shots. So for me

0:35:37.239 --> 0:35:40.960
<v Speaker 5>to see that, and I mean, I'm not gonna lie

0:35:40.960 --> 0:35:43.040
<v Speaker 5>and say I was shocked. I knew the guy didn't

0:35:43.120 --> 0:35:45.560
<v Speaker 5>like me. It's just kind of funny to watch back

0:35:46.920 --> 0:35:50.000
<v Speaker 5>when you say someone doesn't bother you and you're not

0:35:50.000 --> 0:35:52.759
<v Speaker 5>gonna let someone bother you, and then you proceed to

0:35:52.880 --> 0:35:55.120
<v Speaker 5>let them bother you so much and talk about it

0:35:55.160 --> 0:35:59.160
<v Speaker 5>so much. It's very telling about what you are, you know.

0:35:59.239 --> 0:36:01.080
<v Speaker 5>So I took no offense to it was like a.

0:36:04.160 --> 0:36:08.080
<v Speaker 1>Whatever, I guess. Okay, let's let's move past all the

0:36:08.800 --> 0:36:11.680
<v Speaker 1>all the guy drama. You have a one on one

0:36:11.719 --> 0:36:14.839
<v Speaker 1>date in New Zealand with Jen. Let's talk a little

0:36:14.840 --> 0:36:18.319
<v Speaker 1>bit about that and where you felt your relationship was

0:36:18.400 --> 0:36:19.120
<v Speaker 1>after that date.

0:36:19.239 --> 0:36:21.359
<v Speaker 4>How did you feel about the activity of your one

0:36:21.400 --> 0:36:21.799
<v Speaker 4>on one date.

0:36:22.800 --> 0:36:24.160
<v Speaker 2>I thought, I mean to be honest, I thought I

0:36:24.239 --> 0:36:24.960
<v Speaker 2>was right up my alley.

0:36:25.080 --> 0:36:27.759
<v Speaker 5>You know. It was, uh it was a break from

0:36:27.800 --> 0:36:29.880
<v Speaker 5>all the chaos in my mind. You know, it was

0:36:29.920 --> 0:36:33.200
<v Speaker 5>something that I needed. And when I went there and

0:36:34.719 --> 0:36:38.359
<v Speaker 5>experienced this amazing culture from the Mounting people with Jen,

0:36:38.400 --> 0:36:42.840
<v Speaker 5>you know, it was such a uh refreshing moment for

0:36:42.960 --> 0:36:46.600
<v Speaker 5>me because again I'm I'm stressed out. I mean, I'd

0:36:46.600 --> 0:36:48.200
<v Speaker 5>be lying to you if I said I wasn't stressed

0:36:48.239 --> 0:36:49.840
<v Speaker 5>out with all the stuff that was going on. So

0:36:50.239 --> 0:36:54.640
<v Speaker 5>to have just this cutaway moment with Jen was was fantastic.

0:36:54.840 --> 0:36:57.920
<v Speaker 2>And she was very very open and reciproc.

0:37:00.320 --> 0:37:01.840
<v Speaker 1>How do you say that receptive?

0:37:02.040 --> 0:37:05.920
<v Speaker 2>Receptive? Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the reception.

0:37:06.040 --> 0:37:09.400
<v Speaker 5>Was very open and receptive to how vulnerable I was

0:37:09.400 --> 0:37:11.680
<v Speaker 5>getting in and and I it wasn't easy for me.

0:37:11.960 --> 0:37:14.759
<v Speaker 5>I didn't really know kind of what the date was

0:37:14.840 --> 0:37:16.520
<v Speaker 5>going to track to look like. You know, we did

0:37:16.560 --> 0:37:19.839
<v Speaker 5>a lot of things. So to be able to talk

0:37:19.880 --> 0:37:24.279
<v Speaker 5>about my life experiences and my family just helped me

0:37:24.320 --> 0:37:27.879
<v Speaker 5>bond closer to her because I feel like we've had

0:37:28.040 --> 0:37:30.200
<v Speaker 5>a lot of those small discussions and I want to

0:37:30.200 --> 0:37:32.440
<v Speaker 5>get to the real ones, and that helped preface a

0:37:32.440 --> 0:37:34.400
<v Speaker 5>lot of you know, the conversation that her and I

0:37:34.440 --> 0:37:35.480
<v Speaker 5>had later on that night.

0:37:35.600 --> 0:37:38.480
<v Speaker 2>So it was it was a fantastic day for us.

0:37:38.520 --> 0:37:41.800
<v Speaker 5>It was a beautiful day. I said, I always like

0:37:41.840 --> 0:37:44.120
<v Speaker 5>to joke I left I left the villain of me

0:37:44.440 --> 0:37:47.799
<v Speaker 5>in that temple in in New Zealand, because when I

0:37:47.840 --> 0:37:49.719
<v Speaker 5>walked out of that place, man, I felt like a

0:37:49.760 --> 0:37:50.879
<v Speaker 5>new man with him.

0:37:50.920 --> 0:37:52.480
<v Speaker 2>So it was it was great. It was great to feel.

0:37:53.000 --> 0:37:55.000
<v Speaker 1>It does kind of actually that actually make sense. It

0:37:55.000 --> 0:37:57.239
<v Speaker 1>does kind of seem like that as if you were

0:37:57.560 --> 0:38:00.120
<v Speaker 1>it seems like that, do you now, Like, where are

0:38:00.160 --> 0:38:04.399
<v Speaker 1>you with your feelings towards Jen after the state?

0:38:04.920 --> 0:38:07.880
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, so so the daytime, obviously, I you know, I

0:38:07.960 --> 0:38:08.400
<v Speaker 5>let her know.

0:38:08.440 --> 0:38:10.000
<v Speaker 2>You know, I like her. I like her a lot.

0:38:10.040 --> 0:38:15.279
<v Speaker 5>At that point, I had been feeling a certain type

0:38:15.280 --> 0:38:17.680
<v Speaker 5>of way about her. I think the week leading up

0:38:17.719 --> 0:38:21.799
<v Speaker 5>to that, especially with how she validated me with the

0:38:21.800 --> 0:38:22.680
<v Speaker 5>group date rose.

0:38:22.960 --> 0:38:24.800
<v Speaker 2>You know, she was so warm and open to me.

0:38:24.920 --> 0:38:26.839
<v Speaker 5>Then you know, there were a lot of things that

0:38:26.880 --> 0:38:28.960
<v Speaker 5>she had been doing for me without even realizing that

0:38:29.000 --> 0:38:33.839
<v Speaker 5>made me feel strongly about her, so so going into

0:38:33.880 --> 0:38:36.759
<v Speaker 5>the night portion of our date was monumental for me

0:38:36.920 --> 0:38:39.880
<v Speaker 5>in my mind because it was it was the I

0:38:39.920 --> 0:38:42.279
<v Speaker 5>can finally play like play like. My next piece that

0:38:42.360 --> 0:38:44.680
<v Speaker 5>I really really wanted to get across from her was

0:38:45.600 --> 0:38:47.600
<v Speaker 5>this is why I am the way I am. You know,

0:38:47.680 --> 0:38:50.800
<v Speaker 5>It's not just some facade that I'm putting on, and

0:38:50.800 --> 0:38:53.120
<v Speaker 5>and it's not some cloak or a tough guy act like,

0:38:53.200 --> 0:38:55.400
<v Speaker 5>this is why I am the way I am and

0:38:55.400 --> 0:38:58.759
<v Speaker 5>and all of the things that associate with that, and

0:38:58.840 --> 0:39:01.960
<v Speaker 5>for her to accept that and have we had so

0:39:02.040 --> 0:39:05.960
<v Speaker 5>many bonding moments during that conversation, you know, similar upbringings,

0:39:06.520 --> 0:39:09.840
<v Speaker 5>similar family style, like not having it easy, you know.

0:39:09.920 --> 0:39:13.880
<v Speaker 5>That was that was all the reassurance I needed to

0:39:13.880 --> 0:39:15.480
<v Speaker 5>to let her know that I was falling for them.

0:39:16.280 --> 0:39:19.120
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I was gonna say so never watching the

0:39:19.160 --> 0:39:24.279
<v Speaker 1>show and it's it's you know, obviously not a normal situation.

0:39:26.200 --> 0:39:29.279
<v Speaker 1>Can have you like looked within yourself? Can do you

0:39:29.360 --> 0:39:32.040
<v Speaker 1>think you could fall in love in a situation like this?

0:39:32.680 --> 0:39:34.400
<v Speaker 4>Are you surprised? By half asked?

0:39:34.560 --> 0:39:37.400
<v Speaker 2>I was very surprised. I was. I was very very surprised.

0:39:37.560 --> 0:39:43.000
<v Speaker 5>Again, I I didn't come into the show fully knowledgeable

0:39:43.040 --> 0:39:45.680
<v Speaker 5>of how it worked. And one thing that I will

0:39:46.640 --> 0:39:50.400
<v Speaker 5>will come in the show on doing is is putting

0:39:50.440 --> 0:39:53.120
<v Speaker 5>you in that moment where you really have to reflect

0:39:53.160 --> 0:39:54.239
<v Speaker 5>on what you want in life.

0:39:54.239 --> 0:39:56.879
<v Speaker 2>You know, you all of the all of the filler.

0:39:56.520 --> 0:39:59.680
<v Speaker 5>Conversations go away, right, you have to you really have

0:39:59.719 --> 0:40:01.799
<v Speaker 5>to cut down to the meat and potatoes of who

0:40:01.840 --> 0:40:04.160
<v Speaker 5>you are in your essence. And and it really helped

0:40:04.160 --> 0:40:08.440
<v Speaker 5>me open those walls for her to see who I was,

0:40:08.520 --> 0:40:09.879
<v Speaker 5>and it was it was great.

0:40:09.920 --> 0:40:12.040
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I think it's one hundred percent possible.

0:40:12.080 --> 0:40:14.520
<v Speaker 1>All right, So now let's let's cut to this episode,

0:40:14.680 --> 0:40:19.040
<v Speaker 1>the episode that's currently aired, and we see Jens X

0:40:19.080 --> 0:40:22.520
<v Speaker 1>come back, Matt, and you're one of none of the

0:40:22.560 --> 0:40:25.200
<v Speaker 1>guys are happy. You're one of the guys like if

0:40:25.200 --> 0:40:28.480
<v Speaker 1>he stays, I think I'm out. Would you? Was that

0:40:28.600 --> 0:40:30.600
<v Speaker 1>was that real? Is that really how you felt?

0:40:30.600 --> 0:40:30.680
<v Speaker 5>Oh?

0:40:31.120 --> 0:40:36.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? And that was that was a moment that I

0:40:36.239 --> 0:40:37.120
<v Speaker 2>don't think.

0:40:41.239 --> 0:40:42.480
<v Speaker 5>I think that was in one of the moments where

0:40:42.480 --> 0:40:44.600
<v Speaker 5>I didn't really I like to say, I think through

0:40:44.600 --> 0:40:46.800
<v Speaker 5>a lot of the things that I'm gonna say versus

0:40:46.840 --> 0:40:49.400
<v Speaker 5>just spewing them out, that was really just pure emotion

0:40:49.560 --> 0:40:51.760
<v Speaker 5>for me, Like I I've done.

0:40:51.960 --> 0:40:53.600
<v Speaker 2>I've played X games before.

0:40:53.719 --> 0:40:57.360
<v Speaker 5>You know, it's it's been a theme in my life

0:40:57.400 --> 0:41:00.440
<v Speaker 5>in the past, and for me and and my mind

0:41:00.640 --> 0:41:03.319
<v Speaker 5>to have the strength to turn all that away, I've

0:41:03.400 --> 0:41:05.640
<v Speaker 5>I've turned a new chapter in my life and I'm

0:41:05.680 --> 0:41:07.319
<v Speaker 5>putting it all out there for this woman that I

0:41:07.360 --> 0:41:11.200
<v Speaker 5>want to see where go. And we just had an

0:41:11.200 --> 0:41:13.400
<v Speaker 5>amazing one on one day. So it was personal for me,

0:41:13.520 --> 0:41:15.600
<v Speaker 5>you know, those feelings were personal. I had just told

0:41:15.640 --> 0:41:18.000
<v Speaker 5>her I was falling for her all of these new, developing,

0:41:18.360 --> 0:41:23.480
<v Speaker 5>budding emotions that I'm you know, experiencing, and then the

0:41:23.520 --> 0:41:26.120
<v Speaker 5>hammer drops. You know, some guy that dated her in

0:41:26.160 --> 0:41:28.200
<v Speaker 5>the past could just take her away, and that could

0:41:28.200 --> 0:41:30.800
<v Speaker 5>be that because I know how I know how easy

0:41:30.800 --> 0:41:33.839
<v Speaker 5>it is to fall into that feeling of comfortability with

0:41:33.960 --> 0:41:35.440
<v Speaker 5>like an ex partner in X.

0:41:35.800 --> 0:41:39.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, what did you think of Matt coming in and

0:41:39.920 --> 0:41:44.319
<v Speaker 3>telling you, guys, hey, I'm not saying I'm leaving. What

0:41:44.560 --> 0:41:46.880
<v Speaker 3>was your like, how did you feel hearing that he

0:41:47.040 --> 0:41:49.680
<v Speaker 3>wasn't going to be joining the journey? And what was

0:41:49.760 --> 0:41:52.120
<v Speaker 3>also your opinion on the guy's response to what he

0:41:52.160 --> 0:41:52.480
<v Speaker 3>was saying.

0:41:55.760 --> 0:42:00.600
<v Speaker 5>So for me, I was very happy that he wasn't

0:42:00.600 --> 0:42:02.759
<v Speaker 5>saying you know, I mean, I don't want to deal

0:42:02.760 --> 0:42:04.040
<v Speaker 5>with that that again.

0:42:03.920 --> 0:42:06.360
<v Speaker 1>You and sam am at least bond over. I was

0:42:06.400 --> 0:42:07.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna say we bought it.

0:42:08.239 --> 0:42:10.840
<v Speaker 2>There was a very budding moment where him and I, like,

0:42:12.280 --> 0:42:12.760
<v Speaker 2>I think.

0:42:12.560 --> 0:42:15.239
<v Speaker 5>We found an comed Yeah, I think we had a

0:42:15.520 --> 0:42:18.120
<v Speaker 5>conversation where I was like, I may hate you, you

0:42:18.160 --> 0:42:19.880
<v Speaker 5>may hate me, but we both hate.

0:42:19.680 --> 0:42:22.680
<v Speaker 2>This guy way more. So, Like, you know, that was

0:42:22.719 --> 0:42:29.000
<v Speaker 2>like probably the one you know it was.

0:42:29.080 --> 0:42:31.000
<v Speaker 5>It was it was insane to think about, you know,

0:42:32.080 --> 0:42:34.239
<v Speaker 5>because I can only put myself in my shoes, right,

0:42:34.280 --> 0:42:36.239
<v Speaker 5>but if I can think about what all the other

0:42:36.280 --> 0:42:38.600
<v Speaker 5>guys are feeling, I don't know how far along any

0:42:38.640 --> 0:42:41.160
<v Speaker 5>of these guys are in their relationships either, So you know,

0:42:41.239 --> 0:42:43.680
<v Speaker 5>I can only imagine what the collective feeling is to this,

0:42:43.840 --> 0:42:46.520
<v Speaker 5>you know, stranger walking in and saying, Hey, this, this

0:42:46.600 --> 0:42:48.759
<v Speaker 5>girl meant so much to me in the past, and

0:42:48.760 --> 0:42:51.319
<v Speaker 5>I'm gonna try and make her mean so much more

0:42:51.360 --> 0:42:51.920
<v Speaker 5>to me again.

0:42:52.480 --> 0:42:55.879
<v Speaker 2>That that's a very you know, drive a stake in things.

0:42:56.000 --> 0:42:59.440
<v Speaker 5>So it was a very refreshing feeling to know that

0:42:59.480 --> 0:43:02.000
<v Speaker 5>he was leaving, But not just because he was leaving,

0:43:02.880 --> 0:43:03.960
<v Speaker 5>but because Jen.

0:43:05.280 --> 0:43:08.080
<v Speaker 2>It's like you watch her grow like, I watched her

0:43:08.120 --> 0:43:09.000
<v Speaker 2>grow in that moment.

0:43:09.760 --> 0:43:12.600
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, we've really seen grow a lot through the season,

0:43:12.760 --> 0:43:13.960
<v Speaker 3>especially in this episode.

0:43:14.200 --> 0:43:16.680
<v Speaker 5>Yes, and I know where I've faltered in the past,

0:43:16.680 --> 0:43:20.040
<v Speaker 5>where I've made that mistake of going back to an

0:43:20.040 --> 0:43:23.480
<v Speaker 5>ex partner before and not having the strength to know

0:43:23.520 --> 0:43:25.360
<v Speaker 5>that something else is better for me in my future,

0:43:26.200 --> 0:43:30.439
<v Speaker 5>And to watch her kind of do that where I

0:43:30.480 --> 0:43:33.640
<v Speaker 5>have failed in my life made me that much more

0:43:33.680 --> 0:43:35.799
<v Speaker 5>attached to her because I was like, Wow, you've just

0:43:36.560 --> 0:43:38.200
<v Speaker 5>like everything that I've tried to do in the past

0:43:38.200 --> 0:43:39.799
<v Speaker 5>that I had to work so hard to get to do,

0:43:40.200 --> 0:43:42.239
<v Speaker 5>or like to get to be able to be at

0:43:42.560 --> 0:43:45.080
<v Speaker 5>in a place in my mind, you just did it

0:43:45.160 --> 0:43:45.560
<v Speaker 5>right there.

0:43:45.600 --> 0:43:48.520
<v Speaker 2>And that was amazing to see that she chose, you know.

0:43:49.200 --> 0:43:52.600
<v Speaker 5>The uncomfortable moment versus just the safe and reliable what

0:43:52.680 --> 0:43:54.480
<v Speaker 5>I know in the past moment. You know, it was

0:43:54.960 --> 0:43:56.799
<v Speaker 5>I know something better is out there, and I want

0:43:56.800 --> 0:43:57.600
<v Speaker 5>to see where that goes.

0:43:58.640 --> 0:44:05.160
<v Speaker 1>I wanted him to stay. I like, rented man, all right,

0:44:05.440 --> 0:44:08.200
<v Speaker 1>can you We're gonna play a quick game before you leave,

0:44:08.280 --> 0:44:14.160
<v Speaker 1>but before we get into that, if you could, if

0:44:14.160 --> 0:44:17.719
<v Speaker 1>you could tease the rest of the season without spoiling it.

0:44:18.280 --> 0:44:18.799
<v Speaker 1>What would you.

0:44:21.360 --> 0:44:24.200
<v Speaker 5>There's a lot of Oh man, there's a lot of

0:44:24.200 --> 0:44:29.120
<v Speaker 5>twists and turns coming up, a lot more drama, as

0:44:29.160 --> 0:44:33.440
<v Speaker 5>if you haven't seen enough already, some crazy, some crazy,

0:44:33.480 --> 0:44:34.440
<v Speaker 5>crazy experiences.

0:44:34.480 --> 0:44:37.600
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, hold on to your seatbelts.

0:44:37.640 --> 0:44:40.600
<v Speaker 4>Boys, that's wild because the top half of your eyes.

0:44:40.640 --> 0:44:44.520
<v Speaker 3>This season has been so nuts with so much drama,

0:44:44.600 --> 0:44:46.600
<v Speaker 3>and then this last episode we were saying, Okay, it's
