00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 1: for right now, I want to catch up a little

14
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: bit with Peter. Peter um, the biggest, like I feel like,

15
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: the most recent headline we have from you is the

16
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: fact that you ran the New York City marathon with

17
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: a lot of other Bachelor alum And I'm telling you,

18
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: like I think the listeners are like, actually, holy crap,

19
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: are you really going to go into this again? I

20
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: am mind boggled by anyone who's able to run a marathon,

21
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: So please tell me about your preparation and how it

22
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: felt on your body. Oh boy, um, you mean lack

23
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: thereof I So I it wasn't my I never thought

24
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: I'd ever run a marathon, to be completely honest. Um,

25
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: my roommate Dustin, he had done a New York Sea

26
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: Marathon the year prior, and he actually had run with

27
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: Tyler and Matt and he kind of brought me into

28
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: this whole idea of running it this year with him,

29
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 1: and so I couldn't say no because it was for Achilles,

30
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: which was a great organization. Obviously raison a lot of money,

31
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: so it was for a great cause. But I'm like, actually,

32
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: I'm not a runner at all. Like I'm not long

33
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,199
Speaker 1: distance like I can sprint, but I'm not a runner.

34
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: And to be completely honest, my preparation consisted of one

35
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: six mile run like three weeks prior to this actual

36
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: I was an idiot with it. Like I I am

37
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: so lucky that I did not get seriously injured from

38
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: running twenty six point two miles on a women And

39
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: that's literally what happened. I mean my legs, I'm still

40
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: like not a person recovered. My knees are still pretty

41
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: Sources just over a week after. Um, but I just

42
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 1: gonna be honest, it was. It was probably the most

43
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: rewarding experience of my life. I truly mean that, and

44
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 1: like I'm super happy I did it. I want to

45
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: do it again next year obviously the right way and

46
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: prepare and actually try to get a decent time. Um,

47
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: it was electric though, The energy was incredible. What was

48
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: your time? I got actually got I got my medal

49
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 1: here with it all in grade. There was five sixteen

50
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:44,119
Speaker 1: in nine seconds. And I still find that unbelievably impressive. Now,

51
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 1: hold up, your entire training was six miles a month before?

52
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: Was six miles the longest you'd ever run at one

53
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: time ever? And it wasn't even it wasn't even six

54
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 1: months I did. I ran three miles down the east

55
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: side here in Manhattan, down to the bridge and stop

56
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: for about ten minutes because I needed to catch my breath,

57
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 1: so I didn't even go to the full six without stopping,

58
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: and then I ran the other three back home. Um,

59
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: And that was the full extent of I just I

60
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: needed to get that in to like at least have

61
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: some type of confidence that I could run, you know,

62
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: a decent amount of mileage um, you're like, but then

63
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: multiply it by by three. It was horrible because six

64
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: isn't even isn't even a technically a quarter, it's not

65
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: even a quarter, or it's not even swot two even more,

66
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: because yes, six not even a quarter technically times four.

67
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, okay, I have so many more questions.

68
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: I mean, did you feel like the original marathon runner,

69
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: like back in ancient Greece, like because he ran the

70
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: twenty six miles and then he just dropped? Is that

71
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: how you felt? I was very close to that. I

72
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: my friends all thought it'd be hilarious to show. I

73
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: don't know if you've seen the episode from How I

74
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: Met Your Mother with Barney Simpson. I think it's Simpson.

75
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: I'm not. I haven't seen too many episodes Barney. There.

76
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: There's an episode where he takes over the spot from

77
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: Marshall who got injured, and he's like, yeah, I could

78
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: run a marathon with zero training, literally what I was

79
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: about to do the very next day, and he runs it,

80
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: completes it, surprises everyone, and then I guess the next

81
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: day it's like a delayed reaction and his legs don't work.

82
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: And that was that was quite literally my exact experience

83
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: with it as well. So yeah, that's pretty crazy. Wow.

84
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: So did you run into any bachelor along along the way.

85
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: So I was in the slowest heat I think out

86
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 1: of everyone. Um. I started off with Dustin, my roommate,

87
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: and then he he shortly after we started, kind of

88
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 1: took off, you know, away from me. He finished like

89
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 1: fifty forty five minutes before me. Um. I never I

90
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: know Tyler and Matt running they had left in a

91
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: heat way before me. Zack and Tasia, same thing, um

92
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: Joe as well. So I was liking one of the

93
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: slowest heats. I mean there was I couldn't have kept

94
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: up with anyone else if even if I wanted to. Uh,

95
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: but next year, next year, I'm going to do the training.

96
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna make excuses, and this this little fire

97
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: into my ask for sure, so I don't regret it.

98
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: I could ask you so many questions like how much

99
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: did you eat? How long did it take for you

100
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: to be able to stand the next day? But I won't.

101
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 1: I mean, this is not an a marathon podcast, So

102
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: just one more question, Um, how nervous were you before that?

103
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: I don't know? Do they shoot off like one of

104
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: those gun things, Like I don't even know the amount

105
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: of nerves must have been running through your body. Honestly,

106
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: it was an ignorance is bliss type scenario. I didn't know.

107
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: Everyone kept trying to tell me that you don't know

108
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 1: what you're getting yourself into. This is gonna be the

109
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: worst day of your life, Like you're not able to walk,

110
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 1: You're not gonna be able to finitsh No, I thought

111
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: I was gonna able to finish it. And I think

112
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 1: I just like I was so ignorant that it really

113
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: paid dividends for me, because like I I just the

114
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: entire time like I'm going to finish it. Yeah, it's

115
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: gonna hurt like hell, but um there's just there was

116
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: no there was zero like doubt that I was going

117
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: to finish it, even when the pain started coming. So

118
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: I think it kind of worked out for me in

119
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: a weird way. Well that's amazing, so impressive, So bravo.

120
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: Uh and you can't wait to see what you get

121
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: next year training Yes? Anyway, Okay, Well, you know it

122
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: wouldn't be a Bachelor podcast if I didn't ask a

123
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: former bachelor who is currently single if he's dating Um,

124
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: and you know you you talk, You've gotta you get

125
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: asked this all the time. So I'll let you answer

126
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: the question and give me your nice little PR answer

127
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 1: because I'm sure it's very pure friendly. UM. And my dating,

128
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: I know, I'm I mean, I am. I guess I

129
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: could say I'm starting to day I'm not like serious

130
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: in relationship exclusive with anyone like that. But I listen

131
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 1: what I've been telling everyone, and this is whether it's

132
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 1: not PR, just it's the truth. I really enjoyed this

133
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: like ten eleven months of just being single and like

134
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: not worrying about a relationship because I've for so long

135
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: was that was the biggest focus in my life, and

136
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: obviously the show kind of made it that way. And

137
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: it's been so refreshing and such a great reset to

138
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: just like not worry about that and like just just

139
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: literally worry about myself and working myself and you know,

140
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: just do things I wanted to do and improve myself

141
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: in as many ways as I could. And I've been

142
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: enjoying New York like crazy. Um, you know, I've had

143
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: the time in my life. But I am. I am

144
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: definitely now to the point again where and it's cool

145
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: because like it's I needed this to come like just

146
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: organically and very naturally, couldn't have forced it. Like I

147
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: do feel like I can kind of get back out

148
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: there again and I'm ready to And um, that's that's

149
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: exciting for me to say, what kind of date do

150
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: you take a girl on on a first date? So

151
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: for me, I know this, this sounds crazy coming from

152
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: the show, but I am such like a simple dude

153
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: and like, yes, I love the adventure of life and

154
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: I love living life with the fullest and all that stuff.

155
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: But like on a first date, I truly am that

156
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: guy that like I like the simpler the better, Like

157
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: no glitz, no glad. I'm just like the two of

158
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: you connecting in a very organic, um nonpretentious way like

159
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: that to me is everything and everything else can kind

160
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: of come after that. But if you if from in

161
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: my opinion, I can feel a spark, feel something from

162
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: that kind of date. Um, literally just taking a blanket

163
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: out to Central Park and just like chilling and enjoying

164
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: the beautiful day and admiring the buildings and whatnot and

165
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: just having great conversation. That is everything to me. So

166
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: is it a daytime date? Oh so we're getting into

167
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: exact dates here, Okay, Um, this one that's at the

168
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: top of my mind. Yes it was. It was involved

169
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: the nice walk around the the Kennedy Reservoir. I don't

170
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: know if you've done that in Central Park, but it's

171
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 1: one of my favorite places in the city. Uh felled

172
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: by Yeah, stunning? All right, Well, something now to the

173
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: question that I really want to ask, like, have you

174
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: ever gone on a date with Julia Laploca? The Sure

175
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: of Yours? Like every buddy was speculating you were going

176
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: to end your season with I know literally everyone did.

177
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: I love Julie? And uh the answer is no, that

178
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: has not happened. Why can it happen? Can it happen? Hey,

179
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: I'm I'm you never say never. Honestly, Julie and I

180
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: we do. We get along very well. Um. Obviously, you know,

181
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: you get to know someone so well from spending every

182
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: waking moment with them, right from those two three months

183
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: of the show. I actually just saw her. She was

184
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: at my book launched that nice little picture of the

185
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: two of you. YEA know, she she's great. Her and

186
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 1: her family came out and showed a lot of support.

187
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: We're very close, you know, both of our families are

188
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: very close and um, you never know, Hey he's smiling

189
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: and kind of glowy. Guys, Oh boy, I love Juliet

190
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: really do. All right, well we can, well, were you

191
00:09:55,600 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: close to Julie? She was, Um, yeah, I wouldn't say close,

192
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 1: but but we were friends for sure, you know what

193
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: I mean. She wasn't well, she she wasn't on my

194
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: side of things during the during my processes. I think

195
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: she started to become more involved in the cast later on.

196
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 1: Gotcha that makes sense. Okay, Well, let's talk about Michelle's

197
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: season in Macro a little bit before we dive into

198
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: the actual episode. Have you been watching I have? I

199
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: am a huge fan of Michelle Young same. I you know,

200
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 1: the ratings aren't that great. We won't like, I don't.

201
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: I don't understand it. Stupid and it makes me feel

202
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 1: sad because she's such a great bachelorette. She deserves the writings. Honestly,

203
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: she's and this last episode, I mean, there were so

204
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: many moments where I'm just like wow, like she's just

205
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: she's got her together, like she's a he's a freaking

206
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: rock star. Um, It's like, honestly, I'll say, like She's

207
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: one of my favorite bachelrets I think I've ever seen

208
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,319
Speaker 1: like I would not have been mad at all. I've

209
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: been very happy to have been on her season. I know, same, same, same.

210
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,199
Speaker 1: Do you feel like any of these guys are up

211
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: on her, up to her level? Because I don't know

212
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: if I feel like they are, you know, I yes,

213
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a very valid point. I really like

214
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: Brandon for her. Um is Brandon or Brendan? I'm always

215
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: so bad with Brandon and Brendon's. I think this one's Brandon.

216
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: And we had a Brendan you know last season? Yes, yes, um,

217
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: he he's He's honestly the one guy I mean, And

218
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: I think obviously she's very innate and that's like, very

219
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: very obvious. UM and Nate. I like Nate. He still

220
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: comes off though, like I kind of can see what

221
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 1: the Chris guy UM was kind of like hinting that.

222
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe I'm completely wrong, I missreading it.

223
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: I kind of see that. But but obviously, like she's

224
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: very intimate, that's very obvious. But I would say Brandon

225
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: right now is is my top pick for her? If

226
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: I had pick one interesting a guy who hasn't had

227
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: a one on one yet, So I think, especially after

228
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: this episode, I'm thinking that Joe might be in the lead.

229
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: So I think Joe is my pick. Joe's Yeah, there's solids.

230
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: They just look like they make so much sense. Um,

231
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: their whole background, lifestyle, obviously where they come from. This

232
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: date was perfect for them, Like you knew that was coming.

233
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: It was. It was absolutely ideal. Um, he's got a

234
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 1: really cool his shyness and like how reserved he is.

235
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: It really to me, it's it's so loud, like in

236
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 1: the best way possible, Like it's it just works. I

237
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: don't know, like I really appreciate that. I kind of

238
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: saw a little bit of like I see myself and

239
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: him and how he was on this show, just kind

240
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: of being a little bit reserved and taking a little

241
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 1: long to kind of really fully open up. And I

242
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: think that's just it's very it's just very natural and

243
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 1: authentic on how it comes across. It just seems like

244
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: a really solid guy. It's like it was for me.

245
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,719
Speaker 1: It was like a complete one eight because you kind

246
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: of get thrown for a loop in the beginning the

247
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: first episode and totally ghosting here and all that, or

248
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,079
Speaker 1: you think that's what happened, and now his story is

249
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: starting to come out and you really understand who this

250
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: guy is. It's just, like I said, authentic is I

251
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: think the best way for me to describe him. My

252
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,959
Speaker 1: feelings on him have probably changed the most of that

253
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: out of everybody in the cast since episode one, because

254
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: I would agree with that reservations about him at first? Okay,

255
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 1: and then what about Clayton? Because every week here on

256
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: the podcast, Ben and I are puzzled as to why

257
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: the producers seemed so sold on him to become the

258
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 1: next Bachelor. To me, he is nothing glitzy. Um, I'm

259
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: not compelled. We got a little bit more from amount

260
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 1: of this episode, but only like comparably speaking to what

261
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: we've gotten from him in other episodes. So what are

262
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: your thoughts on this? Do you think that his storyline

263
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 1: is going to develop so much in the next two

264
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: to three weeks that we're going to fall in love

265
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: or is it a huge mistake. I don't want to

266
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: say it's a huge mistake. I mean, I listen, they

267
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: to make that decision, so really, I don't know if

268
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: that's ever been done before. I mean, I could be

269
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: complete wrong on that, but she was a lead as

270
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: early as they did without anybody knowing them getting a

271
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: reaction from the public live as this episodes were airing,

272
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: They obviously felt very confident. But I agree with you,

273
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: there is really no glitz or glamour there I do.

274
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: I'll give him props to I. He definitely, to me

275
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: stood out. Um a little bit more of this episode,

276
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: I saw sides of him. I don't think that anyone

277
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: is seen yet. Um. It's like it's like you're rooting

278
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: to see something, like you want to you want to

279
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: get excited for this next next season, the Bachelor coming up,

280
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: and um, you know what what awaits with that, And

281
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: it's been kind of hard to get excited. Um, So

282
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think, yeah, you have to for

283
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: the sake of the show. You have to see something

284
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: in the next couple of weeks. And he really got

285
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: to take off. Um, and hopefully that is the case. Yeah,

286
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: I totally agree. All right, Well, before we take a

287
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: quick break, we have to talk about your new children's book,

288
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: The Adventures of Pilot Pete, which is set to come

289
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: out on November Apparently, Jared and my children's book Lucy

290
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: and Clark, a story of puppy love was in some

291
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: way a spark for you to create your own. This

292
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: is actually yes, this is kind of crazy coming full circle. Um,

293
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: so funny. So Andy, the publisher that you worked with

294
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: on Your Guys children's book, he we had been introduced

295
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: to each other. It's about a year and a half ago.

296
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: And to be honest, a children's book never was really

297
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: the idea like I had thought of in my head

298
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: of of writing, and so he brought up your Guys

299
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: book and that's what kind of like got the spark

300
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: for me to get going. And immediately I knew exactly

301
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: what I wanted to do, um and and what I

302
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: wanted it to be about. So I guess I owe

303
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: you guys a big thanks for this kind of coming

304
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: to Fruition and being the the pathfinders there. But yeah,

305
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's an awesome I mean, you know

306
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: how cool the process it is to write a children's book.

307
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: It's very unique obviously with the illustrations. It's just a

308
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: really cool experience to me. It's a it's a non

309
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: fictional book about my my first love, right and um,

310
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: you know people have kind of seen my romantic love,

311
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: you know, play out or lack thereof, I guess on TV.

312
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: But this is my first love, aviation and how I

313
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: fell in love with it from the first time I

314
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: saw an airplane and through you know, growing up and

315
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: all the work I put in the trial as you

316
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: go through and finally get into, uh, my dream job.

317
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: And you know, my hope is that it can just

318
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: inspire a lot of children, inspire the next generation, have

319
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: some longevity here, and be something really positive that people

320
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: can enjoy. Um. So I'm super excited to share it

321
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: with everyone. And I hope, I hope it. Uh it

322
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 1: just inspires like I've been inspired by so many people

323
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: and you know my life growing up. So is there

324
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: any lessons in it? Follow your Dreams is never give

325
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: up until you find them or tell you to achieve those. Um.

326
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: It literally that that's you know I've had. It's so

327
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: cool to um pay honor. So I guess so many

328
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,199
Speaker 1: mentors that I've had in my life because they're all

329
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: in the book, and um, you know, from high school

330
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 1: teachers to flight instructors, to my parents to my friends. UM,

331
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 1: I get to bring them all back and and and

332
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: tell that story. And UM yeah, it's a Follow your

333
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: dreams Chase your dreams type book and finding whatever that is,

334
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: whether it's flying or you know, whatever it may be.

335
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: It makes you feel so alive that you literally never

336
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: feel like you're going to work a day in your life.

337
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: And um, you know, I feel so fortunate that I've

338
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: been able to find that and people know I'm super passionate.

339
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 1: So being able to put this into children's book and

340
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: relive it through the whole illustration process and the writing

341
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: process was such a joy for me. Uh. So I

342
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 1: hope people enjoy it. And I love to make a series,

343
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: you know this moving forward more fictional um, and uh

344
00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 1: make it educational for kids to going off the far

345
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 1: off places. Um, a little mystery there. So there's a

346
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: lot of potentially I hope for it. It definitely with

347
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 1: the title sounds like it's going to be part of

348
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: a series. Yeah, that's that's the goal. That's the goal.

364
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: flying for one second, since it's related to this. Um,

365
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 1: how does it go when people see you up there

366
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 1: in the cockpit, whether you're saying hello or saying goodbye?

367
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: When when fans spot you and they're like, you're my pilot?

368
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: Have you ever heard anything like super outrageous or or

369
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: like I'm scared pilot Pete like he couldn't decide between

370
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 1: two girls? Am I supposed to trust him in the air? Listen,

371
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: I'm a lot better pilot than I am Bachelor. Okay,

372
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 1: I will, I will put it out there. Um, I'm

373
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 1: a damn good pilot. I'm very confident saying that, Um,

374
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 1: it's it's fun. It's it's really fun. It's cool to

375
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: see the love out there. What's always funny for me

376
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 1: is um is the captains usually have no idea about

377
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: the show. It's usually the flight sentence I really know

378
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: and that it kind of followed it love the Bachelor.

379
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: Uh they do. I mean just last night we were

380
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: talking about the entire time, and I don't mind. It's

381
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,360
Speaker 1: it's always cool, Like they said, all the love I appreciate.

382
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 1: But it's always funny if I'm like on a three

383
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 1: or four night trip and the captain will like finally,

384
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 1: like on day two, like he has no idea, and

385
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: then he'll be like, why why does this flights and

386
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: keep coming up? Or why why is she taking pictures

387
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: of you and not me? Like they just have no idea,

388
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: and because I never say anything, like I just don't

389
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 1: want to really bring it up, and and then they'll

390
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: get like introduced to it and they're like what's and

391
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: then they'll be all curious and they'll ask and Uh,

392
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 1: it's funny. We literally this is this is not flying related.

393
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 1: This is you just triggered my memory. Yesterday we're going

394
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 1: to New York. This is hilarious and we, uh, we're

395
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 1: looking for a new apartment because we're gonna go move downtown.

396
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 1: And um, so Dustin myself and uh one of other

397
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: best friends we're gonna move in together. We'll go to

398
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,239
Speaker 1: this apartment this this realtor said, yeah, I mean it's

399
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 1: at this apartment. Um and at this time the tenant

400
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: will be there to uh to show you guys in

401
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: and whatnot. Anyways, we call the number, they don't pick up.

402
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 1: We email the lady. The realtor doesn't reach Bond. Luckily,

403
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: there was a guy that was like at the front door,

404
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 1: so he opens the door for us, very gracious, like, hey,

405
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: we're here to see this apartment whatnot, Like, oh, yeah,

406
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: I guess you guys can go in. So we walk up.

407
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: We knocked on the door and this girl like says hello,

408
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: and we're walking to the door. Before she's walking to

409
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 1: the front door, she opens it. We're both me and

410
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 1: her just like we lock eyes and we're like very

411
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: confused at like who we're looking at. And then she

412
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 1: just looks at me and she goes and then she

413
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: looks over and she sees dust In there and she goes, am,

414
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: I am I getting punked right now, we're here. We're

415
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: here to see in the apartment, Like what are you here?

416
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: And you just kind of just reminded me of that.

417
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 1: It's kind of fun. So whenever I see people out there,

418
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 1: it's cool. I appreciate the love and got some fun,

419
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: funny stories for sure. Do you like have any side

420
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: effects when you go up there, because I don't know

421
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,120
Speaker 1: how you guys do it, like just being the air

422
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: all day. Like I get the worst jet belly. I

423
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: come off any flight that is, yes, with the most

424
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: painful low interesting you don't have any like tummy pains

425
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: or anything like that, like de hystation. And I guess

426
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: I'm not pregnant, so it's been way worth a wet pregnant.

427
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,640
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I need like three hours recovery after

428
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: a flight. I you know, I don't get that. But

429
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: I get my feet sometimes they get really swollen, like

430
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: if I'm in the back. I know people like have

431
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 1: they get triggered by this or whatnot? Something to take

432
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: my shoes off, you know, And I always put a

433
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: blanket over them, so like it's not disgusting for anyone,

434
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: Like I'm one of the guys. Not socks, No no,

435
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: I always have socks on. Everybody should be fine with

436
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 1: having socks on. Okay, see I agree with that too.

437
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 1: Some people like are like, no, absolutely not. You keep

438
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: your shoes seven and I'm not doing this in the

439
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: cock but this is when I'm like a passenger. But

440
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: I'll get swollen feet. You know. I notice when I

441
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: put my shoes on, they're super tight. Um. Honestly, I

442
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 1: I struggle. This is super random. I would struggle with

443
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: dry eyes for the longest time. I kind of got

444
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: through that phase, thank god. But you know, the altitude

445
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,719
Speaker 1: the cab in pressures eight thousand feet, not that much

446
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: humidity up there. So that's been my kind of side

447
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: effects from flying. But luckily it's gotten better. And you're

448
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 1: a United co pilot now, yeah, fly for United Alliance

449
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 1: first officer and uh, I'm really hoping to my dad.

450
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,360
Speaker 1: The reason I came over from Delta and my dad

451
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 1: flies here and he retires in April, and so the

452
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 1: dream is to be on his retirement flight and be

453
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 1: his first officer on his last flight. So I'm working

454
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: to get there. When is he planning on retiring? He

455
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 1: ape is at sixty five. You have to retire when

456
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: you're a pilot. It's a f a laws. So he's

457
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: got just you know, the twentieth I guess April is

458
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,959
Speaker 1: the last day he can legally fly. Oh my gosh, well,

459
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: I hope you're able to do that. That that would

460
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: be so cute. Yeah, the book actually kind of hopefully

461
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: it's a little foreshadowing that kind of that's kind of

462
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: how the book goes to in the story and how

463
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 1: it kind of ends. Oh well it must happen then, okay, yeah,

464
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: well you're manifesting it absolutely. And we're gonna say a

465
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 1: quick break and when we get back, we're gonna break

466
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 1: down this episode of Michelle Seuasan. The best bracket rule

467
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: of the week four Week six is plus ten if

468
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: a contestant uses the word of vulnerable or if Michelle

469
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: compliments them for being vulnerable. And we're back, and this

470
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: cast sends off to Minneapolis, Minnesota, where I think we're

471
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: gonna be spending a few weeks with Michelle and the guys.

472
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: And I'm surprised these guys didn't get more dramatic over

473
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: the fact that Joe got the first one on one

474
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 1: this week and say things like he's getting this advantage

475
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: it's his hometown and he's getting the one on one.

476
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 1: But it also just feels so right because I feel

477
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: like how I feel like these two should have been

478
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,679
Speaker 1: on dates in Minneapolis before today, right? Sure? Yeah? No,

479
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: I I love the day. I think it was super

480
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 1: cute to watch. Um I kind of like I put

481
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: myself in Michelle's chees and I'm like, that would be

482
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 1: you know, I mean actually kind of. I was able

483
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: to do a little bit similar stuff I guess in

484
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: n l A, some hometown stuff, and it means so

485
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 1: much to be able to share something so personal, um

486
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: with you know, people on the show and that kind

487
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,199
Speaker 1: of experience, and then having them both though be from

488
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 1: that area. It just is like a double whammy, so

489
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: super special. I feel like I hear you with like

490
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: the lack of drama with the guys, but it's almost

491
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: like it was such a perfect date. They couldn't have

492
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 1: been mad about it, Like they had to be like, yo,

493
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 1: that's your time, man, go go enjoy it, go out

494
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,199
Speaker 1: the time of your life with her, and UM. I

495
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: thought they handled it well. And from Joe's perspective, he

496
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: must have been just like having more of a sense

497
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: of comfort on this one on one than you normally

498
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 1: would have gotten, just because you're like, oh, I've been

499
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 1: here before, I've been there before, and not everything is new, right. Yeah, no, totally.

500
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: I mean I think for sure him being a little

501
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: bit more reserved and kind of getting him out of

502
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 1: that shell. This was the perfect date. Couldn't have been

503
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: any better for him. So happy for him. He definitely

504
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: definitely grew on me a bunch that during that date. Totally.

505
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 1: So they go to Twin Stadium, she throws out the

506
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: first pitch. They did everything on that date, Yeah, I know. Right.

507
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: Then she goes to her high school, shows him her locker.

508
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: They looked through the year book, and of course I

509
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: talked about basketball. They play basketball, and her old high

510
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,959
Speaker 1: school like gym, and that is super nostalgic. I feel like,

511
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,439
Speaker 1: even if you're not like a basketball player, if I

512
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 1: were to go back to my high school gym, I'd

513
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: get all the fields. Oh totally. And it was so cool,

514
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: like all of her pictures were still up there and

515
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 1: they got to, you know, see her back in high school.

516
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 1: She was I think ninth grade. She was on varsity,

517
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: like girls, an all star, absolutely all star. H I

518
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: was That was pretty bad as She beat him in

519
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: the dress too. She beat Mr. Minnesota. She is really

520
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: good at basketball, Jared said the other week. He was like,

521
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 1: I could take her. I'm like, Jared, she was grad

522
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: at number one in her state. I do not think

523
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: you could take her. She keeps making these three pointers. Yeah,

524
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,439
Speaker 1: the girl does a miss. No she doesn't. I mean like,

525
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure they only edited for us to see her

526
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: keeps running, but it's still quite impressive. How how with

527
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: ease she just tosses it up and it's like in now,

528
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: very very natural. I was. I was definitely very impressed.

529
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: She'd kick my ass out freaking stuck a basketball. So

530
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,919
Speaker 1: definitely given her props um. And then I get like,

531
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 1: the big part of this day is when they go

532
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: to dinner and he talks about m So the big

533
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 1: part about this date is when they go to dinner

534
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: and he talks about how he broke three bones. I

535
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 1: think it was his leg or like his in his

536
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 1: foot and his leg first, I think yeah, and then

537
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 1: in college he broke I think that's when he broke

538
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 1: his his foot right, and they had the surgery. Surgery

539
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: was messed up, and then he had to go back

540
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: in and get like seven screws in his foot and

541
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 1: it led to him, you know, not being able to

542
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 1: play to the best of his ability, and he got

543
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: into like a deep anxiety depression, even having suicidal thoughts.

544
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: And the two of them are just so emotional. But

545
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: if anybody's going to kind of like understand the mental

546
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: space that he would have been in, it would have

547
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 1: been Michelle because she just knows how much playing a

548
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: game means to him. Because I think a lot of

549
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: girls maybe we're like, how were you so affected by

550
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: not being able to just play a sport. It's just

551
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: a sport, you know, wasn't going to be your whole life.

552
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: But she really gets him. Yeah, I think, you know

553
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: the mindset of an athlete, and I wasn't even you know,

554
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: I was not even close to any type of All

555
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: Star athlete, but I definitely love sports growing up and

556
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: and really enjoyed it. And like just the effort and

557
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 1: the time and the commitment that you put into it,

558
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: just from someone like me that wasn't even like an

559
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: All star, I know, is incredible. So I can only

560
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: imagine these two. I think they are both what either

561
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: one was runner up and one was like for the

562
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: Mr and Mrs Minnesota. Like these two are people that

563
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 1: and I had a lot of friends growing up they

564
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 1: were they remind me of that were so just invested

565
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: in their craft and like that was like he said,

566
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 1: I think once in the day like ball his life

567
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: and then and then you know it wasn't anymore. Um,

568
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: you're so invested in Like it's so it's so true.

569
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: It's kind of why I think we said earlier, like

570
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: they just make so much sense. They just understand each

571
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: other on such a common deep level obviously with so

572
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: many similarities and their their you know, their background, where

573
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: they come from. Um, it was for me super cool.

574
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 1: I these are the dates that I love watching. This

575
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: is really why I got hooked on the show and

576
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: I've loved the show. Is like the true like the

577
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: emotion when you see that come through not and like

578
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: Contriver there, it's all just so real and like seeing

579
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: someone that maybe he's not I mean, no one's used

580
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 1: to open it up like that on reality TV if

581
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: you've never been on it before. But seeing that kind

582
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: of like growth as a viewer in real time is

583
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 1: in my opinion, super beautiful and why this show has

584
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: been so successful And like this was one of those moments,

585
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 1: and I really I really enjoyed it and appreciated it.

586
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: Both of them talk about kind of being reserved, and

587
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: he says that he actually feels really comfortable expressing himself

588
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 1: with her, which is awesome. So, yeah, he's my top

589
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: choice right now. Her dad too. That's a huge compliment. Oh,

590
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: that is a huge compliment. All right, Well then we

591
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: move on to the right. Maybe maybe he is over Brandon.

592
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: I don't know, we'll see. Yeah, I think so. I

593
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: think so. But I do think that Brandon has a

594
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: lot of room to grow because we still haven't seen

595
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: a one on one and he's still like in my

596
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: mental top four, don't you Like I've said this before

597
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: right now and in obviously we're hoping to see something

598
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 1: more with Clayton. I feel like Brandon though, is like

599
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: he's a great front runner for that or Joe like,

600
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: I'm I'm just I don't know. I'm so curious to

601
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: see what comes in these next couple episodes. If we

602
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: didn't know Clayton was going to be the Bachelor, we

603
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: would never think he was going to be the Bachelor.

604
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: My only thought is that because of the filming schedule,

605
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: they kind of had to pick somebody that we also

606
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: kind of thought wasn't going to end up with Michelle,

607
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: because then it would have just been a total spoils

608
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: such a good point. Did not even think about that,

609
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: That's honestly probably what it was. Yeah, who's going to

610
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: make the best bachelor who? Obviously? Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, honestly,

611
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 1: I can't think of any other reason right now. So

612
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: you're onto something, thank you, thank you? Alright. So the

613
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: next is the group day and the guys go to

614
00:31:56,320 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: Viking Stadium and they have to compete in Viking challenges,

615
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: like eating really disgusting things, putting on Viking costumes, doing

616
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 1: arm wrestling. What else did they do? They did the

617
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 1: battle cries, battle cries ye ate the crazy food. They

618
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: threw the logs, Yeah, all the Viking stuff. One of

619
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: those dates that's like fun but like doesn't tell us

620
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: a whole bunch about the guys, except except it did.

621
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: I don't Chris, why make yourself so hate herbal? I

622
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: don't know. I think maybe he was leaning into it.

623
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: Maybe he just knew he had no storyline and was like, Okay,

624
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: I'll take the villain role, like making the like you

625
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 1: know that people are just gonna rag on you for like, oh,

626
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: I can't eat like being the one dude that's saying

627
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: I'm not going to eat it. Like you already dress

628
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: like a I mean, I'm not sure to mean, but

629
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: you already dressed like a jackass. I don't ask why why.

630
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: I don't get that he has no self of humor,

631
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: no self, no sense of humor. No, I just I

632
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: don't know. He's puzzled me the entire time. Yeah, okay,

633
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 1: So then at the group date dinner portion. Well, actually

634
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: during this entire date, we see that the like, the

635
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: guys are taking so much more effort with her than

636
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: they did the previous week, which is very important. Brendan,

637
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: Brandon and Clayton probably going their most out of the

638
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: way to show her attention. Uh. During the date the

639
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: nighttime portion, Um, what are some standout moments that you have?

640
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: Let's see here. So that was I think the conversation.

641
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: It's the I think it's the first conversation that stood

642
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: out to me with Clayton, and it's the only one, right,

643
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:53,959
Speaker 1: and it was them talking about their parents and how

644
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: they're race kind of similarly. Yeah, So I think that

645
00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: that that's the first one to kind of give me

646
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: some hope. Um and I'm not gonna lie. I saw

647
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: I did see some chemistry there between between Michelle and Clayton.

648
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 1: I hadn't seen it at all before, but there was

649
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 1: something there. Um Brandon and her and her It's just

650
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 1: it works. Is very easy with them. They're they're really

651
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 1: good at like flirting with each other. They have that

652
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:19,959
Speaker 1: just like natural. See to me, I feel like their

653
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:24,919
Speaker 1: relationship is very physical. It's like it's physically it's based

654
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:28,879
Speaker 1: on physical attraction right now. Yes, I could see that,

655
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 1: and hopefully you see that develop into into something more.

656
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:36,919
Speaker 1: Um and I think it will. Uh. Trying to think

657
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 1: what other in that specific group date one, Well, I

658
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 1: guess it was Chris basically waiting for her to go

659
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 1: up it to him and say like, thank you for

660
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 1: giving me warnings last weeks thing. Yeah, I I that

661
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: didn't make any sense to me too. He was It's

662
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: like he was because he was mad that from the

663
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: previous week that no one was treating or giving her

664
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 1: the attention that she deserved, and and then they are

665
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,839
Speaker 1: doing that exact thing now he's still mad about it.

666
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 1: And then he I don't know, like I said, he

667
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 1: just puzzled me the entire episode. Everything he did. I

668
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:16,879
Speaker 1: would have just been like, dude, do the opposite, like

669
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: what what are you doing? That's such a funny point.

670
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 1: Last week it was all about you guys didn't come

671
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 1: grab me and now and he was like, yeah, everybody

672
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 1: didn't come grab you. I thought that was gross. And

673
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: now this week he's like, why didn't you come grab me?

674
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: Grab me? Yeah? I don't know. Man, Oh the irony

675
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:41,280
Speaker 1: that is wild. Okay, so um, Clayton ends up getting

676
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:44,359
Speaker 1: the group date Rose, and I do believe it was

677
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 1: one of those moments where it was like he got

678
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 1: the group date Rose because they finally like clicked. Yeah,

679
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:53,879
Speaker 1: and maybe even for him too. I know he said

680
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 1: something like he probably figured they're gonna do football right

681
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 1: with the whole stadium date card, and he like fell

682
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: asleep at night and he is like, you know, I

683
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: need to show out, like I need to go all out.

684
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 1: And I remember having moments like that. Where is he

685
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: former football player? I believe he is, and I actually

686
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,720
Speaker 1: think he is. He played for the Seahawks, which obviously

687
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 1: aired fan of so um. You know what, I'm happy

688
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: that he's a bachelor because you gotta we gotta a

689
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: fellow Seahawk there. I think he was don't quote me, Underson,

690
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: but um, yeah, I think you saw him. You know

691
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,879
Speaker 1: he kind of you know what it's like, right, did

692
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 1: you have that you kind of find your group? It

693
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 1: maybe takes a little bit, but like something happens and

694
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 1: you feel like comfortable, you're in a setting that just

695
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: like is your is your place, and then it's just

696
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 1: at least for me, I I resonated with that, the

697
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: confidence just kind of shifts. You saw that with Clayton

698
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: kind of you didn't even play football, it was just

699
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 1: maybe being in the stadium. Maybe I don't know what

700
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 1: it was, but you saw him kind of start to

701
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: find his group a little bit and got the rods

702
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 1: and we'll see what develops. Okay, so he did play

703
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 1: for the Seahawks. He did like that was the only

704
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 1: team he played, the only professional team he played on. Okay,

705
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 1: so now we go to Nate's one on one. He

706
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 1: gets the one on one after saying, you know, after

707
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:13,919
Speaker 1: starting a live drama last week by saying, my one

708
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 1: on one is only a matter of time, which you know,

709
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 1: I can understand why Chris would interpret that as um,

710
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 1: a little cocky, but at the same time, I think

711
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 1: he described when Nate was describing to her friends on

712
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 1: the boat why he said that, I thought it made

713
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 1: total sense. He was just like, you know, I know

714
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 1: what we have between us. She keeps saying I'm going

715
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:38,359
Speaker 1: to be around for a while, that she's looking forward

716
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,760
Speaker 1: to spending more time with me. He has good reason,

717
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 1: and he explained it in a humble way. UM so so, um,

718
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 1: what else was there about that date there on the boat?

719
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: You know? Then she says we're gonna have a group date,

720
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: brings her two best friends Ali and Tia on. Um.

721
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 1: The girls talk about, you know, like when they're leaving.

722
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 1: They said that they feel the chemistry, they feel like

723
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 1: he's there for the right reasons and all of that. Um.

724
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 1: She she said that in an alley. She said that

725
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: she's very particular about the guys that Michelle sees because

726
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: she's put way more effort in than the guys that

727
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 1: have been relationships with her in the past. So she

728
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:20,879
Speaker 1: didn't think she was gonna like him. She wasn't sure,

729
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 1: but she does like him, and that I don't get

730
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 1: I don't see Michelle like I'm I'd be so curious

731
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: to like go back in time and see these guys

732
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 1: at Michelle's. I don't see Michelle tracting these kind of

733
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,439
Speaker 1: guys that she says that she's been with, Like to me, like,

734
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 1: she just seems like she has it all together in

735
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 1: so many ways, and obviously it happened, but I'm just like,

736
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: I'm shocked that she would tolerate that, yeah, like for

737
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: so long, for three years. Like again, like I really

738
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: I think the world of her and like everything I've

739
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 1: seen on the show, like there's really nothing to hate,

740
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 1: nothing really criticized at all, and just respect. And I'm like,

741
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 1: I'm shocked that that those have been the relate sationships

742
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 1: that she's been And you would you wouldn't really necessarily

743
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 1: expect it from a girl like her. You have a

744
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 1: great point there, you would not. Maybe she's matured a

745
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 1: law in the past couple of years. Um, yeah, no,

746
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 1: she doesn't seem like a girl that would put up

747
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 1: with that. Everything happens to a reason, So yeah, well

748
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 1: she actually let's let's kind of go into that because

749
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 1: during the nighttime portion of this day, she talks to

750
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 1: Nate about one of those toxic relationships where she literally

751
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 1: couldn't eat because she was just like so anxiety written

752
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: in this relationship that that she thought that she had

753
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:47,399
Speaker 1: like an actual medical issue, and the doctors couldn't figure

754
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,839
Speaker 1: out what was going on, and it ended up just

755
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:54,399
Speaker 1: like her needing to get out of the relationship, um

756
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 1: to the to the point where they were going to

757
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 1: put a feeding tube in her, Like how wild she

758
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 1: couldn't I make food that much stress? I mean, yeah,

759
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 1: they say like stress kills and I mean that that's

760
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:12,399
Speaker 1: like the definition of a toxic relationship right there. Um yeah,

761
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 1: super sad here, I guess, yeah, even yeah, I just

762
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 1: to my point, I mean, you know, she obviously probably

763
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 1: learned so much from from that relationship and moving forward,

764
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:24,799
Speaker 1: and I guess what we're seeing is like a I'm

765
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,800
Speaker 1: not saying reformed or polished, because she just seems to

766
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 1: such a great person, but she's grown a lot and

767
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 1: learn a lot of lessons you can tell from her

768
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:37,399
Speaker 1: prior her up raising. And um, yeah, it's super sad

769
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: that she went through that, But it's good thing. She's

770
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,360
Speaker 1: not a good things. She's not in it anymore. The

771
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 1: one thing about this is that this was one of

772
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 1: these one on ones where we learn more about Michelle

773
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 1: than we learned about Nate. We don't really get a

774
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:53,879
Speaker 1: story from Nate. Yeah, Um, so that doesn't happen a lot.

775
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: It doesn't happen a lot. I don't know. I I

776
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 1: wonder or what that means. I wonder if they're what like,

777
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: what kind of conversations were picked out of this you know,

778
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:10,880
Speaker 1: a way out of this um? And I wonder what's

779
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 1: going to happen during the teasers because in the teasers

780
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: they talk about how like somebody's an actor, right, and

781
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: they keep directing that at Nate, And I don't know

782
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:24,399
Speaker 1: if I buy that. It's as yeah, it's not going

783
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 1: to Nate one of the they Man, they get you

784
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 1: good editing. I was like, what, that's what it was.

785
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:31,320
Speaker 1: There's a see with Brandon on the on the stairs

786
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 1: and in the previews before it's they dub it with

787
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: the crying, right like a guy that dudes crying and

788
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 1: he was just like I had his eyes closed waiting

789
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 1: for the fish to come. That's really what it Wasn't like, man,

790
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 1: every they're so good. They're so good, So who do

791
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 1: you think that's directed at? If anybody in the cast?

792
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: They literally could have been talking about like Ben Affleck,

793
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,799
Speaker 1: like he's an actor, like someone they just saw like

794
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:57,839
Speaker 1: on a group they on the street or random dude.

795
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,919
Speaker 1: I'm putting money on it's it's not Nate. Guys, they're

796
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 1: going to show you that. Um. I I don't know.

797
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 1: Now that Chris has gone there one thing I'll say,

798
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 1: I'm surprised they have gotten rid of all the villains

799
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: so quickly. Well, that's another villain going to pop up?

800
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 1: And will it be Nate? I think is the biggest question,

801
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 1: because I think that people, if they had to choose

802
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:24,879
Speaker 1: a villain in this bunch, it might be Nate. Now

803
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 1: why not? Sure? Right? Is it the overconfidence that's the

804
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:32,479
Speaker 1: only thing? Because I think I said earlier it's it's

805
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 1: and I could be completely wrong just from what I've seen.

806
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 1: There's some things that kind of like maybe rubbed me

807
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:40,320
Speaker 1: the wrong way a little bit, But I want to

808
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 1: give them the benefit of the doubt. Um it's yeah,

809
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 1: I think, like I said, the over confidence sometimes it

810
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 1: can come off a little like unbecoming. But I don't

811
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know who else I would say

812
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 1: besides him, just because the storyline we've kind of gotten.

813
00:42:54,880 --> 00:43:07,280
Speaker 1: I really don't all right, Well, if we are trying

814
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:10,320
Speaker 1: to figure out who is going to be a villain,

815
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 1: if any, for the remainder, I don't know, five or

816
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 1: six weeks left in the season, why don't we pull

817
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 1: an a lum from this season who was eliminated week

818
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 1: three as a guest. Right now, let's get him in

819
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 1: the Let's get him. He's sitting in the waiting room,

820
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 1: but let's just get him on the podcast. It's Molik Johnson.

821
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:38,719
Speaker 1: Maybe he has some insight into the guy's left. Hello, hello, Malik. Yes,

822
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 1: we're breaking down this week's episode, and we have some

823
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 1: questions for you. Absolutely, of the guys that remain, is

824
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 1: there anyone that you had bad vibes from? Okay, well,

825
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 1: Chris asked when he gets eliminated in this episode, so

826
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 1: this is so there you go. Um, why did you

827
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 1: have bad vibes for with Chris asked, Well, you were

828
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:08,320
Speaker 1: still there because he didn't quite start drama until last week,

829
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:11,320
Speaker 1: right right. I don't know. For me, I just definitely

830
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 1: I definitely felt something off with him. You know, I

831
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 1: remember a basketball game. Every time the cameras came around,

832
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 1: he just was just very anxious to speak and talk

833
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 1: about a lot of things, And as soon as the

834
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:24,319
Speaker 1: camera left, he just stopped and I'm like, hey, what's up.

835
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: Like it just seems as if those very calculated just

836
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:29,399
Speaker 1: just they're just trying to like get like a bunch

837
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 1: of like camera time and just just know what to

838
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 1: say the right time, when to inter checked. It was

839
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: just it was just I just you just rubbed me

840
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 1: wrong with a little bit, seem you sing a little off?

841
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,399
Speaker 1: Was he was he closed with anyone, uh, like any

842
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 1: of the guys Martin not even really like that. It

843
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 1: was more close to Jamie. Um, after Jamie left then

844
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: I think him and Martin press May it came a

845
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 1: little bit closer. But like he was, he was just

846
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:52,880
Speaker 1: there and he just always had something to say. I

847
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 1: was just trying to like be uh the cool guy.

848
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 1: I just had something to say, and I just I

849
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 1: just didn't really feel the vibe. So I just didn't

850
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:01,840
Speaker 1: really you know, interact with him a lot. Well, speaking

851
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 1: of Martin, we haven't really touched on this yet. He

852
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:10,240
Speaker 1: ends up saying to Michelle that the women in Florida

853
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 1: or Miami where he's from, um, they're high maintenance. And

854
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:16,799
Speaker 1: it kind of irks her a little bit because he

855
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 1: says that women who are high maintenance he defines as

856
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 1: somebody or as a woman who expects to be fully

857
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:29,720
Speaker 1: taken care of by a man. Now, we don't really

858
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 1: figure out what specifically she has an issue with in

859
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 1: that statement. I am thinking, in a relationship, you want

860
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 1: to be one you want full effort, which would mean

861
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 1: that you want the guy to care um, and then

862
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:49,840
Speaker 1: you want your heart and all your emotions to be

863
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: also fully cared for. For the two men in the

864
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 1: room right now, how did you How do you feel

865
00:45:56,680 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 1: about that statement? I honestly, I think that I just

866
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 1: think he did a very poor job of actually explaining

867
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 1: what he really meant. I don't, honestly don't think that anyone,

868
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 1: like listen, both a man and a woman. Yes, you

869
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:12,919
Speaker 1: want to feel like the others putting in a hundred

870
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 1: percent effort. But I don't think anyone goes into relationship

871
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 1: wanting someone to be high maintenance. I think he'd find

872
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 1: high maintenance incorrectly, just just the wrong way. I really

873
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:24,359
Speaker 1: don't think Michelle is looking for a high maintenance guy. Um.

874
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 1: She was a hundred percent right and coming right back

875
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 1: at him and saying, well, you know, throwing it back

876
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 1: in his face and essentially and saying that no, you

877
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 1: should be wanting to take care of the person, just

878
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 1: like you know, both you guys should be doing the

879
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:38,839
Speaker 1: same thing and putting the effort in. But I think

880
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 1: he did a poor job of explaining what he was

881
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 1: trying to explain. It's kind of like week two for

882
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 1: him there, because we also saw him explain his relationship

883
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 1: with Jamie a little oddly last week. Um and in

884
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,919
Speaker 1: her decision to eliminate him. Malik, how did you feel

885
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 1: about Martin in the house? UM? At first? Be honest

886
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 1: with you, I mean, I didn't really get a lot

887
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 1: of UM. I didn't have a lot of interaction with

888
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 1: Martin at first. But remember, like the thing it was

889
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 1: the second Rose ceremony. He was having a cover. There's

890
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 1: a group having conversation, and it's when she's talking about

891
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 1: she feel like people were questioning her or her character,

892
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 1: and you know, I just remember there was a conversation happened.

893
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 1: I looked over and I just said, hey, you know,

894
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 1: if you're not here for the right reasons, you're gonna

895
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 1: get found out ver sooner or later. And so I

896
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:26,720
Speaker 1: looked over, I just saw like a fish expression and

897
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 1: since that moment, I kind of just kind of sat

898
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 1: back and I was trying to observe more. But you know,

899
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:32,439
Speaker 1: obviously I wasn't there for much longer to really really

900
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:34,120
Speaker 1: because I'm very observant, so I really like to sit

901
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 1: back and like, watch what's going on here, And so

902
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:39,880
Speaker 1: I sent I sent a little something there which was

903
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:43,279
Speaker 1: it was with which I was trying to figure out.

904
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 1: But you obviously didn't stay long enough to figure out

905
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 1: what's off about him entirely. Ah, So you're insinuating that

906
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 1: Martin could be there for the wrong reasons. I mean, listen,

907
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 1: I'm a good judge of character, and I picked up

908
00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 1: on some things real quick and easy, and so I

909
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 1: just I wasn't you, Um, I wasn't feeling a great,

910
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 1: very very very great or positive towards him. Interesting. Interesting, Now,

911
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 1: what about Nate, Because before you got on, Peter and

912
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 1: I were talking about Nate and how of all the

913
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 1: guys that remain. For some reason, I feel like maybe

914
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:25,320
Speaker 1: the edit is trying to make us hesitant of Nate,

915
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:30,800
Speaker 1: even though we haven't really seen anything of proof yet. Yeah,

916
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 1: and it's always says one of those things you never

917
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:34,960
Speaker 1: really know until you really know right, and for me,

918
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 1: minor actually with Nate was very positive and Nate was

919
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 1: a very genuine person to me, an individual, and so

920
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 1: I'll actually liked me a lot. And I don't know

921
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:44,960
Speaker 1: his true intentions are, like you know what's going to

922
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:47,120
Speaker 1: happen at the end, but um, I feel like he's good.

923
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 1: It's a great human Okay, Greg, great. So when you

924
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 1: left the house, I know you only left weeks you know,

925
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:54,919
Speaker 1: you left week three and there's a lot of time

926
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 1: after that. But who did you go home and say, Oh,

927
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:04,720
Speaker 1: I think it's this sky who's gonna win? Nate or Joe?

928
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 1: What about Brandon? You know, I said this, and I

929
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 1: remember saying this, Brandon would be the right choice for

930
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 1: her because Brandon is smitten by her, and man, Brandon

931
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 1: is just like like he's like that young puppy child.

932
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 1: He's like you just will do anything for her. So

933
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:23,319
Speaker 1: if she wants someone who's just gonna be all about her,

934
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:25,359
Speaker 1: then I felat Brandon is the right choice. But when

935
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:26,640
Speaker 1: it comes to Nate or Joe, I think they're a

936
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 1: little bit more mature, a little bit more advanced, you know,

937
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:33,759
Speaker 1: ready to potentially you know, make her their fiance or

938
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:36,839
Speaker 1: their fiance. I wonder if you're right. And we've seen

939
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 1: the preview. There's a father that's talking to Michelle is

940
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 1: saying he's not ready. I saw that and I was

941
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:45,560
Speaker 1: just like, and that she doesn't make sense because like,

942
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 1: even though I love all these men, like you must

943
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:49,600
Speaker 1: say is great? Like is he real to be engaged?

944
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, I said to the end, as as

945
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 1: great as he is. Maybe at the end it could

946
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:56,759
Speaker 1: be his father, could be Joe's father. I don't know,

947
00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:58,799
Speaker 1: could be any of them, because some father is like,

948
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:02,520
Speaker 1: I know my son. We've got to analyze that dad's

949
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:05,319
Speaker 1: face and figure out which one he looks. I'm trying to.

950
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 1: I know, it's like, think you do I see that.

951
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:10,919
Speaker 1: I think it could be Joe. It could be Joe

952
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:15,640
Speaker 1: or Brandon. I don't think it's name. I think all

953
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:19,719
Speaker 1: their dads are African American. So alright, Malik, you got

954
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 1: to know Clayton. We've been talking on this podfact this

955
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:26,880
Speaker 1: on this podcast for weeks as to why Clayton was

956
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:29,720
Speaker 1: chosen to be the Bachelor. Please give us some insight.

957
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 1: I wish I knew. Tell us that, bro, don't tell

958
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 1: us that I'm serious. I wish I knew, because you know,

959
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 1: when I was there, Like I'm honest with you, I

960
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 1: thought he was going home like week after week and

961
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:46,920
Speaker 1: when like when I got does he know? Who? Did

962
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 1: you know on the show? Jock, I'm Florida. There's a

963
00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 1: lot there's a lot of comparison with him in previous bachelors,

964
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:55,239
Speaker 1: so maybe he has a right Look, I don't know.

965
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 1: All right, Well, I mean that has to lead me

966
00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:01,320
Speaker 1: to another question. When we get off sea in mostly

967
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:05,000
Speaker 1: or So, I feel like there's a big group message

968
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 1: between the cast of that season where you kind of

969
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 1: bringing new people into the chat each week once they're eliminated.

970
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:18,560
Speaker 1: So did you guys have a group chat? Yeah, we

971
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:21,799
Speaker 1: got a group chat and Clayton is he was he

972
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:24,440
Speaker 1: in it? Clayton's not in it because Clayton has been

973
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 1: busy and my probably wasn't allowed. Yeah, you know, so

974
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:29,400
Speaker 1: he was suing. Maybe he wasn't allowed to be here.

975
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:33,200
Speaker 1: All right, Well, you've been a wealth of knowledge. Thank

Speaker 1: you mo league for all your insight. Thank you man,

Speaker 1: We appreciate you, hope to have you back. Appreciate You'll

979
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:47,279
Speaker 1: have a great day. Alright, Well, Peter, we got some

980
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 1: answers there. We did. We did, honestly. I think I

981
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 1: think he's honest something. Yeah, I think I can see

982
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:54,920
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie, I'm a big Brandon fan, but

983
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:56,920
Speaker 1: I can see what he's talking about. The little the

984
00:51:56,960 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 1: smitten nous. He feels young. That's the only thing. Yeah,

985
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 1: I see that a lot of youth there, which is

986
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:08,400
Speaker 1: sweet and endearing, but like ready to be married. I

987
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:11,840
Speaker 1: don't know, not yeah, and not quite the same levels. Yeah.

988
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:14,920
Speaker 1: Anything else we haven't spoken about, well, I guess I

989
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 1: guess Chris, the conversation with Chris. We need to talk

990
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:20,839
Speaker 1: about this. Chris comes and crashes the date, which is

991
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 1: the weirdest thing, um, but also like not surprising because

992
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:31,000
Speaker 1: Chris keeps proving to be weird and selecting times to

993
00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:35,080
Speaker 1: talk to Michelle when he you know, and in also

994
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:38,759
Speaker 1: weird times. He said, I think I think even goes.

995
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:41,560
Speaker 1: He's like, dude, this is weird. He keeps saying, this

996
00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 1: is weird, this is weird. Yes, Okay, So he comes

997
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:48,560
Speaker 1: and he's just like I just wanted to like let

998
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:52,800
Speaker 1: you know again that Nate's not a good guy or something,

999
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:58,319
Speaker 1: and she's like Okay, well, um, this is just like

1000
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:01,399
Speaker 1: we have nothing. She's like, I'm having a great time

1001
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:06,279
Speaker 1: with them, So I disagree respectfully, and she's like, I

1002
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:08,719
Speaker 1: don't have a good time with you, though, so I

1003
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:11,320
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna send you home again one of the

1004
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 1: she like, and then her whole like her whole, like

1005
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 1: her response. She's so freaking polished. How does she do

1006
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:22,520
Speaker 1: it on the spot there, I'm just like, I just

1007
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:24,200
Speaker 1: I wish I would have seen your season before I

1008
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:26,680
Speaker 1: ever attempted to do this, like you were just She's

1009
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:29,120
Speaker 1: I keep saying a rock star, like I don't need

1010
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:31,920
Speaker 1: a man to speak for me. I can speak for myself,

1011
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:34,400
Speaker 1: going back into like how she's been treated in the

1012
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 1: past and examples, and like it's just it's such an

1013
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:39,759
Speaker 1: empowered like she said it, she feels empowered now and

1014
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 1: she's able to speak for herself, and I'm just there

1015
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:43,840
Speaker 1: like rooting for her, and I'm like, yes, yes, and like,

1016
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:46,719
Speaker 1: I honestly feel bad for Chris because it looks a

1017
00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:49,799
Speaker 1: little ridiculous, but I mean, Michelle, she handled that as

1018
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:51,800
Speaker 1: perfect as she could handle it, with so much grace

1019
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:55,400
Speaker 1: and walked him out, and that was that. She's so articulate.

1020
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:58,400
Speaker 1: I'm so jealous. I feel like I do on this

1021
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:02,240
Speaker 1: podcast every week and just be like b Michelle, speak

1022
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:05,000
Speaker 1: like Michelle, and like she should just be my role

1023
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 1: model in life. I feel like you can't really will

1024
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:10,680
Speaker 1: see if she gets flustered. I mean, she had a

1025
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 1: little bit of this stuff with that last episode and

1026
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:14,959
Speaker 1: guys not giving her attention, but like you really haven't

1027
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:17,759
Speaker 1: seen her fully like breakdown or like has something she

1028
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:21,759
Speaker 1: couldn't really handle. I'm curious to she gets pushed to

1029
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:24,400
Speaker 1: her limit and if we get to see that, I

1030
00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:27,320
Speaker 1: don't know. I think she'll even be articulate in that moment.

1031
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:32,680
Speaker 1: I agree, I do. She stands up for herself beautifully. Okay,

1032
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 1: so with the cocktail party not a whole one she discussed,

1033
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:39,719
Speaker 1: I have to say I don't get the Rick thing.

1034
00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:42,560
Speaker 1: He seems like a nice guy, and I think I

1035
00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:45,439
Speaker 1: said it in last week's episode. I still can't think

1036
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 1: about him without just seeing his head on the tray,

1037
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:52,920
Speaker 1: and I wonder if I would have a different perspective

1038
00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:57,360
Speaker 1: if he didn't do that. Yeah, And I think because

1039
00:54:57,400 --> 00:54:59,880
Speaker 1: like so that's our first introduction to him, and he

1040
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:03,399
Speaker 1: does have very expressive eyes. That's what it is because

1041
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:06,359
Speaker 1: I keep seeing his eyes on the tray. That's all

1042
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:09,560
Speaker 1: you saw. There was nothing really to look at besides

1043
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:12,480
Speaker 1: the eyes. They're just so captivating. And I think she

1044
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:15,120
Speaker 1: even said that too, like he did his little strut

1045
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:16,720
Speaker 1: and he was more of his eyes in the strut.

1046
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 1: She said, oh, you're eyes and yeah, there he's got

1047
00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:24,960
Speaker 1: nice eyes. Um. I thought that had a nice date. Uh.

1048
00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:27,200
Speaker 1: I don't know what an episode that was, but yeah,

1049
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:30,160
Speaker 1: I don't know necessarily, I think I had had We

1050
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:33,239
Speaker 1: did a top five and he was one of my

1051
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 1: top five for the For the end, I don't know

1052
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:39,320
Speaker 1: if I'll necessarily make it there. It might be top five,

1053
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:42,880
Speaker 1: I think Sam maybe the five. I don't think the

1054
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:45,520
Speaker 1: top four. Yeah, because if we were going to break

1055
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:47,920
Speaker 1: down the top four, okay, well you and I on

1056
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 1: the same page, we got Joe Brandon, um and in

1057
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:55,200
Speaker 1: Nate and then there's like one more spot to fill,

1058
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:59,080
Speaker 1: which I think I would fill with Rodney. Yes. I

1059
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:02,799
Speaker 1: was surprised Eyes was the last rows this week because

1060
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:04,600
Speaker 1: I thought they were going to leave us hanging with

1061
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:08,839
Speaker 1: the Martin decision. Yeah, I was. I was shocked by

1062
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:11,759
Speaker 1: that too. And then I'm curious, see if how that

1063
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:14,439
Speaker 1: gets if that just gets blown over because you see

1064
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:16,400
Speaker 1: in the previews like they're full on making out in

1065
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:18,920
Speaker 1: episodes that come her and Martin, so it seems like

1066
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:23,080
Speaker 1: that's not an issue with their conversation. Yeah, yeah, I know.

1067
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:26,160
Speaker 1: So who's gonna get a limited next week? I mean,

1068
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:28,560
Speaker 1: like it's been so obvious up until this point, and

1069
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:32,720
Speaker 1: now it's like, Okay, are going to have a little

1070
00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:37,400
Speaker 1: bit more intensity to them, truly truly dramatic. I think, honestly,

1071
00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:42,760
Speaker 1: I think Rick maybe on the cutting board here, chopping

1072
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:46,480
Speaker 1: block here. We shall see, And I think she's going

1073
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:48,839
Speaker 1: to bring her parents out on a date soon and

1074
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:51,919
Speaker 1: we'll know that she's pretty serious about that. Guy. I'm

1075
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:55,000
Speaker 1: just excited to you, Like, I love seeing the travels

1076
00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:57,279
Speaker 1: coming back and seeing new places and being able to

1077
00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:00,040
Speaker 1: have them explore and do these cool things. Like I

1078
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:02,520
Speaker 1: think it helps the show too. So I think these ratings,

1079
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:04,440
Speaker 1: I think it'll it'll pick up this week. If I

1080
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:06,040
Speaker 1: had a guess, it was a good episode. I liked it.

1081
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:12,400
Speaker 1: She deserves it, she does all right, guys. Um, after

1082
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:15,279
Speaker 1: this break, we're gonna do hot topics and Easton and

1083
00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:18,200

Speaker 1: thanks for having me. Peter Easton is one of our engineers.

1087
00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:41,200
Speaker 1: He's been with us for the past four years. He's

1088
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:44,240
Speaker 1: an amazing dude. And I saw him for the first

1089
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:47,080
Speaker 1: time in almost two years in person at Ben's wedding

1090
00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:50,800
Speaker 1: the other day. Um, let's take them through the evening

1091
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:54,120
Speaker 1: a little bit eastern, right. So the ceremony happened in

1092
00:57:54,160 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 1: a tent and it was Reba McIntyre's former estate right there. Yeah, yeah,

1093
00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:03,880
Speaker 1: in a in a lovely town called Lebanon, Tennessee, right

1094
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:05,919
Speaker 1: on the water of a of a body of water.

1095
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:07,760
Speaker 1: I'm not familiar with the name, but a little like,

1096
00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:10,600
Speaker 1: yeah it was. It was an a tent and it

1097
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:12,880
Speaker 1: was very cold, but there were a lot of heaters

1098
00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:15,000
Speaker 1: in there. I was surprised at how warm that tent was.

1099
00:58:15,560 --> 00:58:19,400
Speaker 1: It's hilarious because as a pregnant person, man, am I

1100
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:24,680
Speaker 1: like immune to cold. I feel like I'm always fifteen

1101
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:27,920
Speaker 1: degrees hotter than what it really is. So everybody was like,

1102
00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:31,320
Speaker 1: I'm freezing I'm freezing, and I'm like, really, I'm fine.

1103
00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:34,640
Speaker 1: I was so cool in that tent, like cool as

1104
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:38,120
Speaker 1: in like fine, not like cold. Anyway, we all had

1105
00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:42,440
Speaker 1: a good laugh when Ben's grooms men came down the aisle,

1106
00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:46,480
Speaker 1: because there was like fifteen of them. Okay, there was thirteen.

1107
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:48,920
Speaker 1: I was being a little dramatic. I counted there was thirteen.

1108
00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:52,040
Speaker 1: And just to see all these guys walked down the

1109
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:55,080
Speaker 1: aisle and it just never stopped was hilarious. But it's

1110
00:58:55,520 --> 00:58:58,959
Speaker 1: a cheap. It just it describes how many friends Ben

1111
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:03,800
Speaker 1: has and Ben even had in addition to those groomsmen ushers,

1112
00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:07,040
Speaker 1: which Wells was one of them who didn't stand up

1113
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:10,120
Speaker 1: there with him, but there was like five and they

1114
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:13,840
Speaker 1: they seated people. The grooms was very I had a

1115
00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:16,720
Speaker 1: really good laugh at that. They just kept coming and coming,

1116
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:21,680
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, the lighting in there was beautiful. Um

1117
00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:24,120
Speaker 1: it was did you eat to see Ben's face when

1118
00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:28,480
Speaker 1: he saw Jess walk down the aisle, clearly I was

1119
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:34,040
Speaker 1: like on my tiptoes. Yeah, yeah, he got emotional. I

1120
00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 1: got emotional just watching him. That was. Seeing Ben's reaction

1121
00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:40,919
Speaker 1: through the whole thing was like, quietly my favorite part

1122
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:42,960
Speaker 1: of the ceremony because you could tell he was just

1123
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:46,600
Speaker 1: beaming with love that guy. I know. It was definitely

1124
00:59:46,680 --> 00:59:50,440
Speaker 1: a Seven Dresses moment where half the crowd was looking

1125
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:55,120
Speaker 1: at Ben to see his reaction. Jess so so sweet.

1126
00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:58,520
Speaker 1: Their vows were beautiful. We talked last week. I mean,

1127
00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:00,400
Speaker 1: the valves are probably my favorite part of the ceremony.

1128
01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:05,080
Speaker 1: You oh, yeah, definitely, definitely. I remember Ben saying, you know,

1129
01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:08,160
Speaker 1: he had so many important things to say it to Jess,

1130
01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:09,680
Speaker 1: and he wanted to do it in front of everyone,

1131
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:13,720
Speaker 1: and it really lived up to expectations. People were joking

1132
01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:17,040
Speaker 1: afterwards that Ben should be like a vowel writer, and

1133
01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:19,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, that would be really sad for whoever

1134
01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:23,400
Speaker 1: hired him right fast, but I know what you mean.

1135
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:28,800
Speaker 1: They were fantastic and Jess looked amazing. Ben was kind

1136
01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:31,120
Speaker 1: of right about the dress in the sense that it

1137
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:37,440
Speaker 1: wasn't bedazzled. It was strapless. It showed enough back, um,

1138
01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:39,240
Speaker 1: but it was not a line. It was more of

1139
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:43,120
Speaker 1: a body con it contoured her body. Um. And then

1140
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:46,040
Speaker 1: there's four people there, so it was a pact tent,

1141
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:52,000
Speaker 1: and then there are then the The reception was like

1142
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:55,240
Speaker 1: kind of it was just pretty much a big dance party.

1143
01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:58,000
Speaker 1: Would you say, Yeah, yeah, I was because there were

1144
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:01,520
Speaker 1: so many people there and I knew so few people there.

1145
01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:03,760
Speaker 1: I was like, oh man, We're gonna be like seated

1146
01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:05,880
Speaker 1: at some table and I have to like make small

1147
01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:09,040
Speaker 1: talk with like a third you know, cousin Higgins or something.

1148
01:01:09,080 --> 01:01:11,840
Speaker 1: But it was I really liked how they did it.

1149
01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 1: It was just like like they had a buffet with

1150
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:15,280
Speaker 1: a lot of great food and it was just like

1151
01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:16,800
Speaker 1: a big party the whole time, and you could just

1152
01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:20,560
Speaker 1: kind of walk around and hang and uh yeah, you

1153
01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:22,720
Speaker 1: know again, it was plenty warm. There's lots of heaters

1154
01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:26,280
Speaker 1: everywhere because the temperatures got kind of low. Uh but um,

1155
01:01:26,560 --> 01:01:28,240
Speaker 1: but really quick. I did want to say, you know,

1156
01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:30,760
Speaker 1: Ben's been talking about how you had three officiants at

1157
01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:33,120
Speaker 1: this thing. I thought I was really confused how that

1158
01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:36,040
Speaker 1: was gonna go. I'm like, are they gonna like round

1159
01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:37,800
Speaker 1: robin or like just all stand up there at the

1160
01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:39,920
Speaker 1: same time. It was really seamless how they did it

1161
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:44,120
Speaker 1: was just like a transition from like Jesse's um family

1162
01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:48,640
Speaker 1: pastor to their pastor in Denver and then Ben's childhood

1163
01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:52,400
Speaker 1: uh pastor. And it was really really beautiful how they

1164
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:57,320
Speaker 1: did that I thought it was really seamless. And then um,

1165
01:01:57,360 --> 01:02:00,720
Speaker 1: their their band was awesome. That Jordan's Con band, who

1166
01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:03,960
Speaker 1: was actually the band that we had at our wedding,

1167
01:02:04,080 --> 01:02:06,480
Speaker 1: not the City, Like it's the same ownership. Um, they

1168
01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:10,080
Speaker 1: have this ownership. Jordan Con has a couple of different bands.

1169
01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:13,520
Speaker 1: They sound out, but they were awesome and Ben and

1170
01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:16,640
Speaker 1: Jas were seriously just like glowing the entire time. It

1171
01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:20,000
Speaker 1: was awesome to see everyone and our first like real

1172
01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:23,520
Speaker 1: headline kind of goes off of the wedding and that

1173
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:27,200
Speaker 1: is the fact that Nick Vile and Seawan Booth had

1174
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:31,280
Speaker 1: a beautiful moment at the wedding. There was no tension

1175
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:34,880
Speaker 1: to be found. Guys, uh and Wells got on I

1176
01:02:34,920 --> 01:02:38,280
Speaker 1: think it was Instagram and confirmed this. He goes it

1177
01:02:38,360 --> 01:02:42,600
Speaker 1: was not awkward. They were fine. And yes, they've seen

Speaker 1: each other a number of times since Caitlin season, and

1179
01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:52,080

1194
01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:43,160
Speaker 1: worst to be talking about this? Isn't it true that

1195
01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:46,240
Speaker 1: like when you get married, like you're absolutely exhausted after,

Speaker 1: of married couples like don't have sex on their wedding night.

1198
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:57,680
Speaker 1: I think that's like a real stat And I didn't

1199
01:03:56,720 --> 01:04:01,640
Speaker 1: I talk about honest, we did. I had to for

1200
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:08,560
Speaker 1: the tradition of it, and and then I don't. I

1201
01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:10,600

1202
01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:13,760
Speaker 1: are we going to add extra stress to Jess like

1203
01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:16,960

1211
01:04:46,320 --> 01:04:51,200
Speaker 1: his wedding night? All right, well, we we've got to

1212
01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:53,320
Speaker 1: wrap up here, but we do have one more headline.

1213
01:04:53,360 --> 01:04:58,360
Speaker 1: I want to get to um Corney Robertson. She turned

1214
01:04:58,440 --> 01:05:03,320
Speaker 1: down oh underd and fifty thousand dollars to compete on

1215
01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:06,320
Speaker 1: Dancing with the Stars. Are you shocked by that, Peter,

1216
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:09,400
Speaker 1: I am shocked. Yeah. If I feel like I would

1217
01:05:09,400 --> 01:05:12,000
Speaker 1: be a fun, fun experience, I mean I probably do

1218
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:15,640
Speaker 1: it for less than that. But um, I did she

1219
01:05:15,720 --> 01:05:18,800
Speaker 1: like explain anything why or just like she just wasn't

1220
01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:21,280
Speaker 1: about it? I guess huh. She said, I had a

1221
01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:24,280
Speaker 1: meeting with them right after my season of the Bachelor.

1222
01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:28,080
Speaker 1: That was one one thing that I would have loved

1223
01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:30,960
Speaker 1: to have done. Um was offered, you know, I was

1224
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:34,840
Speaker 1: offered again a hunter fifty thousand plus tens of thousands

1225
01:05:34,840 --> 01:05:37,600
Speaker 1: of dollars for each week or she remained on the show.

1226
01:05:37,680 --> 01:05:40,680
Speaker 1: But apparently Ben Flinnik, who she was engaged to it

1227
01:05:40,760 --> 01:05:45,480
Speaker 1: at the time, didn't like the idea. He said, if

1228
01:05:45,560 --> 01:05:52,000
Speaker 1: you do it, you won't have a fiancee. Al Right, Peter,

1229
01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:54,920
Speaker 1: how do you feel about that? What if? What if

1230
01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:58,040
Speaker 1: that happened to you? Well, I think that's b s

1231
01:05:58,120 --> 01:06:02,360
Speaker 1: And I think I mean they're not together anymore. Correct. Yeah,

1232
01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:07,240
Speaker 1: so now she really just lost fifty for no reason. Yeah,

1233
01:06:07,440 --> 01:06:10,640
Speaker 1: now that that's that's a shame. I don't know why, if,

1234
01:06:10,680 --> 01:06:13,120
Speaker 1: like I was in that position, I never that's such

1235
01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:14,960
Speaker 1: a cool opportunity, like kind of a once in a

1236
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:17,520
Speaker 1: lifetime opportunity. I don't know why he would have been

1237
01:06:17,760 --> 01:06:21,240
Speaker 1: anti that. Um, I don't know. I think I would

1238
01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:23,080
Speaker 1: have been a little bit more supportive. But maybe he

1239
01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:25,160
Speaker 1: was jealous. He didn't want her to get close to

1240
01:06:25,200 --> 01:06:29,400
Speaker 1: the partner because everybody always speculates about a romantic relationship

1241
01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:31,840
Speaker 1: between the partner. And also it's hard getting off of

1242
01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:36,320
Speaker 1: your season and then like going into like being so

1243
01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:39,240
Speaker 1: physically intimate with some other person and then having to

1244
01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:43,040
Speaker 1: do all those rehearsals and dedicate all the time, Um,

1245
01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:46,360
Speaker 1: with that with that person, to that craft and not

1246
01:06:46,600 --> 01:06:50,240
Speaker 1: to your new fiance. Totally, and you know, I mean

1247
01:06:50,280 --> 01:06:52,000
Speaker 1: to look at it from both sides. Yeah, if this

1248
01:06:52,080 --> 01:06:56,000
Speaker 1: was right after their season, I totally get him probably

1249
01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:59,040
Speaker 1: wanting to maybe just have some more privacy and like

1250
01:06:59,120 --> 01:07:01,640
Speaker 1: focus on just the two of them and not really distractions.

1251
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:04,000
Speaker 1: And this obviously would have caused that, So I could

1252
01:07:04,040 --> 01:07:07,720
Speaker 1: see that side of it. But if she was excited,

1253
01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:09,800
Speaker 1: like I put myself in his shues, if like I

1254
01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:12,120
Speaker 1: had a fiance that was super excited and really wanted to,

1255
01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:14,880
Speaker 1: I would have been a hundred percent behind her to

1256
01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:19,520
Speaker 1: do it. But um, it's a bummer. Why weren't you

1257
01:07:19,720 --> 01:07:22,240
Speaker 1: asked to do Dancing with the Stars? I feel like

1258
01:07:23,120 --> 01:07:26,200
Speaker 1: most bachelors do you get you were you never asked.

1259
01:07:26,760 --> 01:07:31,200
Speaker 1: I was never asked. I'm not quite sure why ABC.

1260
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:34,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe I'll never know, but it is

1261
01:07:34,680 --> 01:07:38,520
Speaker 1: what it is. You and Ben are the only bachelor's

1262
01:07:38,560 --> 01:07:41,960
Speaker 1: I think of recent Oh, I guess Colton didn't do

1263
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:44,240
Speaker 1: it either, That's right, Well mine, I guess was with

1264
01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:47,960
Speaker 1: the pandemic, but no, they were still doing it. Um,

1265
01:07:48,040 --> 01:07:49,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. I'd love to do it,

1266
01:07:49,880 --> 01:07:52,320
Speaker 1: but it's like every other bachelor gets to do it,

1267
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:55,800
Speaker 1: you know, Well, your time may still come at some point,

1268
01:07:56,200 --> 01:07:59,400
Speaker 1: you never know. Al Right, Well, um, anything else you

1269
01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:02,320
