WEBVTT - Eazy from ‘The Bachelorette’ Is Here 0:00:01.960 --> 0:00:06.040 Welcome back, Happy hour listeners, and happy hump Day Now, Rachel, 0:00:06.120 --> 0:00:08.880 I have to say, Wednesdays are just getting so much 0:00:08.920 --> 0:00:11.400 better now that we have a batcherette back on the air, 0:00:12.000 --> 0:00:14.440 and I feel like this is the perfect time everyone 0:00:14.480 --> 0:00:16.520 needs a little midweek pick me up, and so I'm 0:00:16.520 --> 0:00:19.079 glad that it actually changed to Wednesdays for a little bit. 0:00:20.200 --> 0:00:22.400 But speaking of pick me up, so you know who 0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:24.959 else has given me a little pick me up vibe? 0:00:25.000 --> 0:00:30.400 Easy Easy everybody's favorite contestant this season. He is he 0:00:30.880 --> 0:00:33.400 He's just like so full of life and it's just 0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:35.720 like this great character. I mean, I talked about him 0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:39.120 briefly last week because he was one of the guys 0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:41.239 from the inter packages that really stuck out to me, 0:00:41.320 --> 0:00:43.879 and of course we had to have him on this 0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:46.760 week because I feel like, like I said, he's so 0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:48.640 full of life. Every time I watch him, I feel 0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:50.879 like I want to drink a Red Bull, or like 0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:54.240 chug fourteen cups of coffee or just like have an 0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:56.959 ivy of Easy in me because he's just like that 0:00:57.080 --> 0:01:00.760 lovable and it just portrays through the screen. So I 0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:03.960 can't wait to have him on and hopefully his energy 0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:06.480 rubs up on us today. I don't know how it 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:08.959 can't right. He just seems like his energy just comes 0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:11.880 through the TV screen. And this is important for all 0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:14.959 the Bachelor happy our listeners to pay attention to. We 0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:17.960 always talk about the one who gets like first impression 0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:21.760 rows or we think has a super big connection with 0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:24.880 the lead, or the crier, or the victim or the 0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:27.959 messy one, the bully, whatever it may be. But you 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:31.760 don't talk about the narrator. You gotta pay attention to 0:01:31.800 --> 0:01:35.440 who's narrating the season. One that means they're a favorite 0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:37.400 of the franchise to tell you right now. But two, 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:40.880 it means their voice is important and it's respected. And 0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:43.240 if you've been watching these last two episodes, you know 0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:46.360 that Easy is the narrator. So we're so excited to 0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:48.440 have our boy Easy come on. He's going to chat 0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:51.320 about everything that went down and last night's episode and 0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:54.440 hopefully give us some inside scoop because I have some questions. 0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:57.120 I feel like there's some there's some things that are missing, 0:01:57.240 --> 0:01:59.520 and hopefully Easy can fill us in on that. We'll 0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:02.120 ask him to step into his narrator role. I'm so 0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:04.080 excited to have him on because you said it perfectly. 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:07.480 He's so involved. I feel like we see so much 0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:09.640 of him, but in such a positive way, like he's 0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:12.080 not really getting involved in the drama in a bad 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:15.519 negative way. He just is easy going. I think Claire 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:18.000 like spending time with him, and so yeah, I definitely 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:20.520 want to pick his brain. He's been somebody that I've 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:21.920 been wanting to talk to you for a while, so 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:24.079 I can't wait. But before we have him on, let's 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:26.040 do a quick little recap because we saw a lot 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:29.800 go down last night. I didn't think that anything could 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:32.000 really top the premiere, Like, let's be honest, there's so 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:35.560 much that happens night one, but this episode is up 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:38.120 there and it's only week two, so we just have 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:41.000 to dive in. Let's start recapping from the top, because 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:45.000 we saw this teaser go down where no surprise here, 0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:48.000 Claire and Dale got hot and heavy. But then I 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:50.480 feel like there's pandemonium breaking loose, like all the guys 0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:53.880 are running around kind of like bashing Dale a little bit, 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:57.120 not quite sure what's going on with their relationship. So 0:02:57.200 --> 0:02:59.679 I think we have to get into that because it's 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:02.280 fair he's still on theme with Claire being very very 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:06.520 into Dale. Yeah, I Mean, the thing what I do 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:08.760 love about this season, and we kind of talked about 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:11.880 this a little bit, is that they're giving us so much. 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:15.560 But if they're giving us this much, that means there 0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:18.600 has to be something that we're not getting. And I 0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:21.680 also appreciate that they know, as viewers, were not dumb. 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:25.520 There are so many rumors swirling around in regards to 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:29.960 who's bachelorette, who's not, who picked who, all these things, 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:34.080 and they're playing into that, which I think makes this 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:36.680 season even more fun to watch. So we get these 0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:39.240 crazy teachers. Every promo that has come out for Claire 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:43.720 season has been straight fire. I'm loving every single minute 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:45.480 of I mean, here at work, we talk about it 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:47.000 all the time. We're like, did you see the new promo? 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:49.320 Even people who don't even watch this season or into this, 0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:52.160 you know, kudos to Bachelor franchise. Y'all are killing it. 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:56.040 But I do have to say that I believe that 0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:58.840 some of the drama we're seeing is not quite what 0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:00.920 we think it is. Like, I feel like they're giving 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:04.119 us all the high moments in the teaser, but it's 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:05.760 not going to be quite what we think it is. 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:08.360 Except for that Dell part. Right where the guys are 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:11.280 questioning Dell. I need to understand what that's about. Well. 0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:13.480 And it's so interesting because last week we kind of 0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:16.280 I mean, you definitely hit the high points on your 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:19.360 favorite quotes. I mean when Chris Harrison says, congratulations, you've 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:21.960 blown up the Bachelorette. But this week there's a couple 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:25.240 that stuck out to me, one being Riley when he 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:28.159 says there is no we, there is no us, there 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:30.720 is no me and you. And so of course when 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:33.559 they're showing this, they make it seem like it's for Dale. 0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:36.240 But you know, we'll get into that because it's really 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:38.039 that's interesting. That's what you thought it was. I thought 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:39.360 he was. They made it seem like he was talking 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:42.440 to Claire. Oh, I don't know why. I don't know why. 0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:45.039 I was like, yeah, I thought he was talking to Claire. 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:47.480 One other part that stuck out to me was Joseph 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:50.040 when he says you're crazy, And in my mind when 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:52.359 I'm watching this back, I'm like, honey, you better not 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:54.320 be saying this to the baucherette and you hopefully are 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:56.039 saying this to one of the dudes, because that is 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:58.080 not going to go over well with Claire. We know 0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:01.400 how Claire probably would react to that as any woman would, 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:06.360 so that's something The teaser was crazy, it was leaves 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:08.359 a lot to the imagination. So I think we should 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:11.719 just get past that and get into the dates because 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:15.480 I think the first date that we saw, the love 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:19.600 Language one, was perfect for Claire, especially coming out of 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:24.760 quarantine where she has not seen or touched anyone in months. 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:28.240 Whoever put this date together was so smart to do 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:33.039 it as the very very first date. Yeah, I thought, also, 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:36.320 you know, part of watching this season is how are 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:39.120 they going to get creative with the dates? They can't travel? 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:41.440 What are they going to do? And then once again 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:43.120 they knock it out of the park with this date, 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:46.400 which was so relevant but also so fun to watch 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:48.279 if you're a viewer, not if you're the man that 0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:50.520 are in the room. So my question to you as 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:53.040 we first see them, you know, give words of affirmation 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:54.880 and speak to her. Who do you think had the 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:59.000 best speech? Oh I'm trying to think who went first? 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:01.599 Was it? Why am I blanking on his name? Was 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:04.920 it was Ben? And that's who impressed me the most? Yeah? 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:07.560 So Ben win first? And I thought he I mean 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:11.000 like he hit it the nail on the head right away. 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:12.920 So on that date, let's just go through really quick. 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:16.080 So for anyone not watching, it was Ben Bennett, Dale, 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:21.640 Ivan Jordan's c Riley, Joseph, zax C, and Zach j. So, yeah, 0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:24.080 Ben was the best. I felt like it was heartfelt. 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:27.359 He really set the standards high, I think to begin 0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:32.400 with everything there on after that kind of fell short. Obviously, 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:34.840 we saw Claire really wanting to hear from Dale, and 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:37.720 you know, she's just enamored with him, She's so drawn 0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:39.600 to him, so she was excited. She mentioned in one 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:42.279 of her interviews that she that's who she most wanted 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:44.680 to hear from. But I think Ben her words of 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:48.240 affirmation took the cake in that one. Did you like 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:54.359 Dale's speech? Uh? I was underwhelmed, underwhelmed It's perfect word. 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:56.919 He was rambling. I was. I was like, Okay, I 0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:58.360 can only imagine how hard it is to be in 0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:00.520 a room and you hear everyone go and then you 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:02.320 have to go. It gets all in your mind. But 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:06.840 I thought, okay, here comes Dell, and there went Dell. 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:11.440 I went right back to bed. Yeah, underwhelmed, perfect word. Yeah, 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:14.360 And you know, like you said, I'm sure It's one 0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:17.800 thing to have to open up and express your feelings 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:20.640 on a first date, like that's not common. Most people 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:23.280 don't really get that that deep and heavy on a 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:25.640 first date, let alone having to do it in front 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:28.160 of multiple men that you're living with. I could see 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:30.280 why it would be offered. I was like trying to 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:32.440 put myself in their shoes, Like if I was on 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:34.680 the state, what would I say. It's difficult because you 0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:38.080 don't really know this person yet, like you've only had 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:41.160 one night with them, and so it's it would be tough. Um. 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:43.800 So I just kept trying to remember, Like I kept 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:46.400 I wanted them to give me more. But then I'm like, 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:48.920 give them some grace. This is the very first date 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:52.440 of the season. But I will say what once we 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:56.000 got past the words of affirmation into the what I 0:07:56.040 --> 0:08:00.240 thought it was cute? What was it? The touch? Not 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:01.800 the touch before that where they had to go back 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:04.400 to the villa get a little gift? Was it acts 0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:07.000 not access service? Yes it was gifts, Yes it was gifts. Yeah. 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:09.000 I thought that was cute. I thought it was thoughtful. 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:12.160 Some of them brought up cute gifts, like the guy 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:15.000 with the chess piece and the first baseball when Riley 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:17.360 gave her the or his last baseball game that he 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:20.040 ever played. That was sweet. Um, but yeah, I mean 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:23.400 obviously it was. It was planned, right, because why the 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:25.720 hell would Riley have bring his baseball with him, right? 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:29.400 Why the hell would Zach Jay have boxes on boxes 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:32.199 on boxes. I was Rachel, if this, if you were 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:33.920 one of the contestants on the state, what would you 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:38.320 have brought the lead? Well, one we I would hope 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:40.640 that we were prepped like these guys. I'm assuming were 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:43.160 to bring something and that you know what, I take 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:45.640 this back, I'm pretty sure that they did say to us, 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:48.480 bring something that means a lot to you that you 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:52.200 want to carry with you. I honestly don't know what 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:54.760 I would have brought. That's a that's a I was 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:56.680 thinking that as I was watching. I don't know, Becca, 0:08:56.800 --> 0:08:59.520 do you know? Well, first that would be minnow, But 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:02.720 I'm not to give her off right because I wouldn't 0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:04.920 want to go too deep. Yeause, I don't know you 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:08.000 like that yet. Well, this is so embarrassing. I've talked 0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:10.040 about this on my Instagram, but I still sleep with 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:13.880 my baby blanket and and that's like the most important 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:17.160 thing probably after mine to me in my house. But 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:18.959 I would also not part with that. I'd be like, 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:20.559 I don't know you well enough. You are not getting 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:22.480 a piece of this baby. I would hope Claire gave 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:24.760 those things back, right, like if you didn't pick some 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:26.400 one of these men that was on the date, I 0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:29.080 really hope you gave them back. Surely, surely, and don't 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:30.760 be ashamed. I still sleep with a care bear named 0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:37.360 Grumpy and part with it. But yeah, I guess physical 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:38.880 touch we have to get into that because that was 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:43.120 that was the moment of the stage. So did I 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:46.520 miss that none of the guys kissed her during physical touch? 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:48.640 It didn't seem like it. Some of them might think 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:50.760 kissed her cheek and her neck and got in there. 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:53.079 No one. Well, that's what I was wondering. I was 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:55.080 waiting for somebody to go in for the kiss, because 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:58.160 there's always that one person, and no one did. And 0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:00.600 I wonder if that was one of the up front work. 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:03.920 Chris is like, Okay, use other parts of your body, 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:06.240 like really show her, but just don't, you know, go 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:09.040 for the gold at this point, Yeah, because I probably 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:10.920 just would have kissed. So this made it a little 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:13.160 bit more sensual. Okay, I changed my mind. That could 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:15.760 just change my mind. I like that. And I love 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:17.600 that she has a strong sense of smell and she 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:20.719 could smell them because I'm I'm the same way when 0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:23.880 it comes to people. But I thought it was so 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:26.920 funny to watch like Ivan, who was clearly uncomfortable with 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:30.480 the entire stay. Honestly, I would have turned and put 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:33.600 my head in a corner, you know, didn't did anybody 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:35.680 try to look away, did anybody try to cover their 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:40.080 eyes like her ears or whatever? And then like such 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:42.640 rule followers, right, Like I would have turned around and 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:46.400 face the corner. Yeah, yeah, I would have been hiding 0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:48.280 behind a tree or something. Also, I feel like if 0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:51.240 I was one of the contestants and had to blindfold 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:55.560 and touch somebody, I would like get a lockerroun. I'd 0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:58.720 be like, I would go for the butt grab or something. Yeah, 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:02.000 and and and you know wanted to we got to 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:04.560 talk about another failure on Dale's part. I'm just looking 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:07.280 at this. Let's go back to the gifts Delle gave 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:13.119 her puppy perfume. Now I'm now, I'm I'm I'm I'm analyzing. 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:16.079 I'm giving Dale a harder time, and I'm analyzing him 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:19.360 with a keen I like with with I'm really like giving, 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:23.160 like scrutinizing him because you know, the rumors are out 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:26.280 there swirling, so I'm obviously anybody who's watching is like 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:29.320 z rode in on Dell. And for goodness sake, she said, 0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:32.760 I met my husband after and I was like, puppy perfume. 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:35.640 I didn't think that that was a thing. I mean, 0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:39.480 did he did he just make that up? Puppy perfume? 0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:47.800 Just once again, and the words of Becca Koufren under wow, 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:53.200 just oh my gosh. Okay. So we go onto the 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:56.480 group date that night. Um, I think the guy that 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:59.120 stood the most to me was Riley. I mean I 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:04.360 really like Eiley. I just I liked that he took 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:06.800 the moment to still have this physical touch, like to 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:08.800 still dance with her and just make her feel calm. 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:12.520 I mean, obviously she was. Her thoughts were stirring in 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:14.240 her head because she thought none of these dudes wanted 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:15.880 to hang out with her and talk to her that night. 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:18.959 So I thought he did a great job of showing up. 0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:23.120 I never had that experience. Did that happened to you? No? No, 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:26.040 But I always thought it was thankfully somebody always pulled 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:28.120 me away right away. I think I just realized the 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:31.520 importance of time. But yeah, I found it very very 0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:35.320 strange that everyone just sat there for a little bit. Yeah, like, 0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:39.400 why didn't any of the guys step up? But I 0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:42.560 don't It obviously was real because it noted it affected Claire. 0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:45.360 She couldn't even have a conversation with whoever it was 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:47.880 she was talking to. I don't remember, because the way 0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:49.840 the guys were acting, and I like to think that, 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:52.679 you know, like maybe Adele, you know, let me get 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:55.560 some dell some positive points here. You know, probably didn't 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:57.120 want to step up because he had had so much 0:12:57.120 --> 0:12:58.679 time with her, and maybe he was trying to give 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:01.480 the other guys a chance. But still, like, it's so weird, 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:04.840 and I also find that extremely unattractive that no one 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:07.240 stepped up and grabbed her. Yeah I know, I know 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:11.320 I will. And it's like the people by now kind 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:13.600 of know the name of the game. Every night, when 0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:15.760 you have a moment, you go for it. So I 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:19.880 didn't understand why everyone was just sitting back. I felt 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:23.400 so bad for her, But I think once she addressed it, 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:26.480 that's the thing Claire is so great about addressing these 0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:30.880 men in any sort of given scenario. And because I 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:32.760 probably would not have reacted that way. I would have 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:36.360 said some like weird awkward joke throwing myself under the bus. 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:39.480 And so I really like how assertive she is. And 0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:42.760 they listened. They took it to heart so well, some 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:45.760 of them listened, not all of them. Yes, and you 0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:48.880 had what do you think about him? Because like this 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:52.440 is where we start to see his true colors. I'm 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:55.440 not a fan and I'm not gonna lie. Oh even 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:58.400 night one, I wasn't a huge fan. I mean we 0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:00.880 talked about him in the drama with who was it 0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:03.480 last week? Tyler? See I mean Granny Like that wasn't 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:09.760 really drama. Yeah, I just I'm not a fan. And 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:14.360 he's starting to obviously rub me the wrong way. We 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:19.600 see him slowly, slowly sparrowed onward real quick in this episode. 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:22.280 So we saw Riley get the group date rose, and 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:25.600 then we go on to the one on one, the 0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:28.800 first one on one of the season with Jason. I'm 0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:32.000 really glad she picked Jason for this one. I really 0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:34.680 liked the date that they had planned. I love the 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:38.840 date that Claire and Jason had because it might have 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:43.160 been one of the deepest dates I've ever seen a 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:47.480 contestant hat, especially the first one. Yes, yeah, and were 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:50.560 you shocked she picked Jason because we know he came 0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:52.600 out with the belly and he was the pregnant guy, 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:55.440 and like that could have gone horribly wrong. But obviously 0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:58.320 it did something to Claren. It really really impressed her. Yeah, 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:01.160 well I think she picked it. I mean, I will 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:03.480 say I was shocked because, yeah, at night one, he 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:09.760 just seemed so humorous and easy going. But she did 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:12.640 say she saw herself in him, and they had a 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:15.840 lot of similar tendencies of you know, kind of resorting 0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:19.280 to humor when things aren't always going their way or 0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:22.880 as planned or if things get tough. So I think 0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:27.080 that's why she did choose him. And yes, it was 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:31.920 definitely for the first week and the first one on 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:34.680 one it was heavy. I feel like the things that 0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:37.480 they talked about and admitted to each other and opened 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:39.720 up about our things that we don't see and tell 0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:43.280 right like a second date maybe you know, like even 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:45.960 closer to hometowns. I would say it was a lot 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:50.760 and so but I really enjoyed Jason. He pleasantly surprised me. 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:55.560 He was able to do what she was asking together 0:15:55.800 --> 0:16:00.200 without I think getting awkward or shutting it down. So 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:02.280 I feel like they were a good team. I loved 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:07.720 the fact that they burned the dress. Yeah, I wanted 0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:09.960 to be there, right there with them. I still have 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:13.160 my dress from the Bachelor season when I got engaged to, 0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:15.720 and it's just sitting there and I'm like, I should 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:18.080 have been there. Can I just like have extra love 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:23.000 your dress that you got engaged to. Yeah, listen, nothing 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:25.800 but a word. I'll come over tonight and we can 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:31.960 burn that sucker. Yeah, no, we should. Somebody actually DMed 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:34.360 me like last year and she was getting married for 0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:36.400 a second time and wanted a black dress for the 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:38.160 wedding and she's like, can I have it? I'm like, 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:40.200 I don't think you want that, Juju, Like, I don't 0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:42.240 think you want to watch out the aisle with this dress. 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:45.280 And so but I'm all I'm all for. I've talked 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:47.040 about this many times, like in the past with my 0:16:47.280 --> 0:16:50.080 with my girlfriend's back Minnesota, we've had burn parties when 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:53.400 people break up with somebody, and so that this is 0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:56.080 my kind of dates. Do it. Let's do it. I 0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:59.200 love it. We'll plant to be continued, you guys, we 0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:02.840 will document on the socials. But back to Jason and Claire. 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:06.080 What I just like, kind of like piggybacking on what 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:09.560 you said. What I loved is that Jason wasn't afraid 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:12.920 to tell or maybe he was, but he powered through 0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:15.800 that to tell Claire some of the things like using 0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:18.320 where it's like manipulative and selfish and unable to love 0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:22.520 how people have described him, and he trusted her with that, 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:25.440 and then she didn't break that trust, like he didn't 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:28.360 scare her by telling her those things. And I thought 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:30.840 it was a really beautiful moment between the two. And 0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:33.879 even if Claire doesn't pick Jason at the end of this, 0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:36.920 I think that Jason can always look at that moment 0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:38.639 and say, you know what, I don't have to be 0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:42.080 afraid to tell women you know some of the scary things, 0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:45.040 because the right one won't run away from it. I 0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:48.439 just I loved that that whole moment once again, and 0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:53.199 kudos on a great date. It was meaningful and I 0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:54.919 feel like that's a lot of what we're seeing in 0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:58.440 these these episodes. Like this episode particularly, we saw deep, 0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:02.040 rich conversations and vagination is always saying we don't have 0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:04.040 anything to talk about, and that might be true over 0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:07.320 these last couple of seasons, but you cannot say that 0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:10.080 about Claire's season, right, And we'll get to that when 0:18:10.080 --> 0:18:13.680 that we saw that happen in this episode, m M. 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:16.600 And maybe chalk it up to and I don't even 0:18:16.640 --> 0:18:18.800 want to say because Claire's older. I think she just 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:21.560 is mature. She's lived life, she knows what she wants, 0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:24.000 and so are these guys. They're a little bit older. 0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:25.840 And so I love the depth that we're seeing. I 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:29.000 feel like it's something that we haven't really had much 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:31.120 in the past couple of seasons, and so it's so 0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:37.680 refreshing to see. It's so funny we pivot from this 0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:43.399 very heavy, deep, you know, connective date to strip dodgeball. 0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:47.359 It's called a balance, right, Like that was a little 0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:49.560 heavy for us. That was a lot. There was screaming, 0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:52.080 there was burning, there was you know, like the breaking 0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:55.000 of the tablets. So we needed to lighten the mood 0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:59.199 and for this we thank you. I thank you for 0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:03.880 the shrimp dodgeball. So we see the Blue team just 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:06.840 get demolished by the Red team. And what I also 0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:09.800 loved about this is that Claire was like, Nope, I'm 0:19:09.840 --> 0:19:12.080 setting the rules and this is what I want because 0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:14.920 this is what you see. And I know, I know 0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:17.720 people are going to have their opinions on the fact 0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:20.000 we're gonna have some Yosef's in the room. We'll just 0:19:20.000 --> 0:19:22.280 put it that way. You know, you're either a Claire 0:19:22.560 --> 0:19:25.680 or a Yosef in this situation. And I love what 0:19:25.720 --> 0:19:28.280 Claire did. I thought it was it was her decision. 0:19:28.680 --> 0:19:30.919 It was empowering. She set her own roles. If you 0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:32.560 didn't want to play by them, you didn't have to. 0:19:32.680 --> 0:19:35.240 We all have a choice here, and I love that 0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:38.080 the guys were just like having fun with it. It 0:19:38.200 --> 0:19:40.760 wasn't to me. And because I really want to hit 0:19:40.800 --> 0:19:42.040 on this because I feel like it's going to be 0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:46.560 an issue. It was jest and I didn't really see 0:19:46.600 --> 0:19:49.960 it sexualized in a way that I know, like in 0:19:49.960 --> 0:19:52.440 the way that Joseph talked about it or being humiliating. 0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:55.679 It wasn't that way. And I'm curious as to your thought. Yeah, No, 0:19:55.800 --> 0:19:58.439 it was all in good fun. I never got I 0:19:58.600 --> 0:20:03.199 never got cringey like. It never to me was borderline 0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:05.600 like this is inappropriate. I think the guys were laughing, 0:20:05.720 --> 0:20:08.919
