Speaker 3: I think Zach and Bryce obviously romance. Gotta say, gotta
Speaker 3: say Zach and Bryce my year, My year, the bromance
Speaker 3: I liked. I liked Austin and Jeremiah's bromance. They really
Speaker 3: had each other's backs in there.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Do you think you bring up Zack and Bryce? Do
Speaker 1: you think they're playing it up for the cameras? Do
Speaker 1: you think it's all real?
Speaker 3: I don't. I know guys who do that stuff, you know,
Speaker 3: like I have close relationships with my guy friends too,
Speaker 3: you know, like.
Speaker 2: I think it's real.
Speaker 3: I would like to imagine, or i'd like to hope
Speaker 3: that they're not just you know, faking it. But you know,
Speaker 3: I mean, you're in there forever, so they're probably putting
Speaker 3: like some good clips together, right, you know, so I'm
Speaker 3: sure they don't do that all the time, right, is
Speaker 3: what I'm trying.
Speaker 1: To say, right, Right, do you think people in Love
Speaker 1: Island are true to themselves? Or do you think people
Speaker 1: do play it up for cameras because on some other
Speaker 1: reality shows you see it a little bit. But what
Speaker 1: do you think?
Speaker 3: I think I would say majority of people A majority
Speaker 3: of the time. It's hard to do that because it's
Speaker 3: you're in there for so long and you're being filmed
Speaker 3: twenty four to seven, so you can't be perfect twenty
Speaker 3: four hours a day, right, you know, seven days a week.
Speaker 3: If you're in there for three weeks, you know, like
Speaker 3: even one week is hard, three days is hard, one
Speaker 3: day is hard. So I would say no, But I
Speaker 3: think there's some people that like went in there with
Speaker 3: you know, let me see if I could, you know,
Speaker 3: get something out of this, you know, right, I would
Speaker 3: like to think.
Speaker 2: Now, okay, we're gonna go with that. I like it.
Speaker 1: OLiS is a fun one. What is Iris's biggest green flag?
Speaker 2: Green flag? She is the nicest person ever?
Speaker 3: Yeah, sweetest, like super caring, like if she just met
Speaker 3: you today and you talked about how you broke your
Speaker 3: finger last week, Like she would ask you next week,
Speaker 3: how's your finger?
Speaker 2: She'd remember that.
Speaker 3: And she's very intentional and cares a lot about people, animals. Yeah,
Speaker 3: her family, close ones, friends, everybody.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like you're like that too. You seem
Speaker 1: to have very similar values and morals and how you
Speaker 1: treat people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. She's uh, she's better than me though. Yeah,
Speaker 2: she's super sweet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: Thanks, who's most likely to embarrass the other in public?
Speaker 1: You are iris me for sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's sometimes like, don't say that, don't say I'm
Speaker 3: New York Italian, Like we say crazy stuff.
Speaker 2: We're loud, like I don't know. I always got told
Speaker 2: I was loud as hell, you know. But definitely me
Speaker 2: for sure, because.
Speaker 3: I'm just like who cares at the end of the
Speaker 3: day when we're on social media posting whatever, people saying things.
Speaker 3: You know, now we'll be in this room and not
Speaker 3: see everybody. I could say whatever and I won't see
Speaker 3: half these people again. You know, we're inner or something.
Speaker 3: And I said something too loud. Yeah, but yeah, definitely
Speaker 3: me over She's very like quiet sweet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm the loud Italian. She'll be like don't say that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good balance.
Speaker 2: Yeah it is.
Speaker 1: I'm the same way. I'm like, I'm Jersey Italian and
Speaker 1: we're maybe more unhinged than New York Italian.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm not really sure what.
Speaker 2: I spent a lot of time down there, so I'm
Speaker 2: probably just like yeah, yeah, yeah, you know how it
Speaker 2: can go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what is the most chaotic thing you've done for
Speaker 1: a crush?
Speaker 2: Chaotic thing? Chaotic?
Speaker 3: These are one of the things I gotta think about.
Speaker 3: That's all right, We'll be an example of a chaotic thing.
Speaker 1: I don't know, like showing up to someone's house, you,
Speaker 1: you know, with thirty five hundred roses staple to your body.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Well, I this isn't chaotic.
Speaker 3: But after the show, I stayed in La I extended
Speaker 3: my trip to see Iris off the plane, and she
Speaker 3: had no idea, Like you surprised, Yeah, Like, I just stayed.
Speaker 3: I wanted to see if she'd get back and want
Speaker 3: to talk to me. So I was like, all right,
Speaker 3: let me extend three more days. What's what's three more days?
Speaker 3: And uh yeah, not super chaotic, but.
Speaker 1: That's like a big rom com grand gesture.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was sleeping on Austin Charlie's couch just wait
Speaker 3: extra days like okay, yeah, and you had no idea
Speaker 3: how it would go, no idea because I didn't you know.
Speaker 3: I didn't speak to her until she got her phone back,
Speaker 3: so she was like she got her phone back, she
Speaker 3: was probably already on the plane.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: And then when she landed, we spoke and I was like, okay,
Speaker 2: she she wants to speak.
Speaker 3: She wanted to tell me everything that happened in there,
Speaker 3: let me know that, you know, what we had was
Speaker 3: real and she wasn't just faking it or like or not.
Speaker 3: She wanted to see if everything she heard about me
Speaker 3: was was true you know, or you know, true fake whatever. Right.
Speaker 2: So, yeah, that's taking a risk, Yeah it is. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Have you always been like that?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think so. Yeah. Like I'm like, I don't know,
Speaker 2: I'm not like the risk taker.
Speaker 3: But like my mom always says that I would watch
Speaker 3: my younger brother do something ten times and then I
Speaker 3: would do it. So I'm a little more sketched out,
Speaker 3: like a little more like let me think about this
Speaker 3: first and then I'll do.
Speaker 1: Something, but not when it came Yeah, like I got
Speaker 1: one shot, let's go, Yeah, this is it, let's go,
Speaker 1: even knowing it could have gone either way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you just got to find out, like
Speaker 3: I would have hated to leave and not you know,
Speaker 3: find out for myself like what's the what's the deal?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Was she?
Speaker 1: Was she cool with you doing that? Like did she
Speaker 1: find that romantic?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I mean she she was like she was telling everybody
Speaker 3: like I need to speak to Tej, Like I want
Speaker 3: to speak to Tej Like that's and it was like
