00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: course this season of the Bachelor. And here we go.

20
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 1: It's good seeing you, by the way, Oh my gosh,

21
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: it's so good to see you. I'm so excited to chat.

22
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: We have not been able to chat since you know. Actually, okay,

23
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: please remind me because I'm a little bit older than you,

24
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: so please show me some grace because I have memory issues.

25
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 1: Have we met before we I think we have officially

26
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: met very very quickly once, uh somewhere with Ryan, but

27
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: we have never done this together in like a professional capacity. Yeah,

28
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: or had an extended conversation. I know I would have

29
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: remembered that, but um, yeah, if we said hi, I Apploian.

30
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: I'm so bad these days, Jesse, I don't remember my name.

31
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: Sometimes as we get older, we'll trust me. I think

32
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: I'm I'm always blaming football concussions on my failure, right,

33
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: so I have something to fall back on that way,

34
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: But I'm I'm I'll tell you man, it's crazy. I

35
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: was just thinking about this earlier. It is like, it's

36
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: amazing how many seasons have happened since you and I

37
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: were both on this thing, and how it's just changed.

38
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: It evaulved so much as crazy. It's you know, I was.

39
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: I was actually doing a bunch of interviews this morning

40
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 1: and that was a question, how has it changed? And

41
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 1: I mean, there's so many ways that it's changed. It's

42
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: hard to like come up with one profound answer, but, um,

43
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: how do you feel like it's changed because your seat

44
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: has changed? You know, you went from being the guy

45
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: as the Bachelor to being the what are we going

46
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: to call it, the friend, the counselor the obviously the host.

47
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: But how do you feel like it's changed having that

48
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: front row seat? Yeah, well, you know my role, as

49
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: you said, it's looking at everything through a completely different

50
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: lens obviously, right. Um, yeah, I don't know, Like I

51
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: just feel like, you know, from my time as being

52
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 1: the Bachelor, I feel like the budget of the show

53
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: is way bigger. I feel like people are going on

54
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: way better, better adventures. Like I got to write an elephant,

55
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: which was awesome, but that was like that was like

56
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: the Pinnacle versus like Zach, who's like, you know, these

57
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: people are now taking like helicopter rides and lading on. Yeah,

58
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: it's like the Mediterranean. Those are those are things I

59
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: never saw. Um, and I think to like, just Bachelor

60
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: Nation is grown and grown and grown, and with the

61
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: advent of social media that obviously wasn't around when I

62
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: did it, it's just made it an entirely different platform.

63
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: And it's just the scope of everything now. I just

64
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: think it's so so much bigger and different huge. You're

65
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: so right, I mean the budget in particular. I was

66
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: just laughing earlier today because Ryan and I went to Seattle,

67
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: which is awesome. I love Seattle, I love theat I

68
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: would not have turned down flying on a helicopter and

69
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: landing on a yacht in the Aximas or in Australia

70
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: or you know what I mean. You know, damn, I

71
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: know it. Um, Okay, so you had some pretty big

72
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: shoes to fill clearly with Harrison have well, First of all,

73
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: have you talked to him? I haven't talked to him. No,

74
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 1: I'm really happy for him, though. Yeah. I know he's

75
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: got his new podcast. I haven't listened to it, but um,

76
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: if anyone's if anyone is able to talk about pop culture,

77
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: I know he's a huge fan of that. So I'm

78
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: just really happy for him and wish him the best

79
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: of us on his next venture. Yeah, of course. Um,

80
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: did you feel like pressure coming into that position, considering

81
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: Harrison had been doing it for for so long? And

82
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: I feel like the you know, the people Bachelor Nation

83
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: and were you know, there were there were a lot

84
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: of people who were upset. Did you feel pressure or

85
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: how did you feel? Because you know, I tried to

86
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: come in and just just be myself. You know, I

87
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: think I have a lot of my football background to

88
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: sort of lean on for that at times when you

89
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: go to different teams and you know, fans are used

90
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: to a certain player who's playing your position, and all

91
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: you can really do is just sort of go in

92
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: and and be yourself and not try to be somebody else. So,

93
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: you know, obviously, as a fan of the franchise, you know,

94
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: having been the Bachelor and then having watched for years

95
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: and years and years, I just I sort of, you know,

96
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: really decided to come in and just really try to

97
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: be myself, you know, and and try to own it

98
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: the best I could just being me, um, because I

99
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: thought that would be the most authentic thing and that

100
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: would come across the most natural. So, um, you know,

101
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: obviously I'm still I'm still figuring it out right. It's

102
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: still so new to me in so many different ways.

103
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: And and you know, this season of the Bachelor for me,

104
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: hosting is a lot different than when I hosted with

105
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 1: Clayton as the Bachelor, um, and so different, well, you know,

106
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: I think the bachelors are different, the personalities are different,

107
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: the casts are different, and you know it's I think

108
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: when you're a host, you wear so many different hats. UM.

109
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: I feel like with with Zach, you know, I've I've

110
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: had to sort of learn that you know when to be,

111
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: when to be went to where a certain had at

112
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: different times. For instance, Zack's you know this is a

113
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: really emotional season. Um. Yeah, it's the most It's easily

114
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 1: the most emotional that that I hosted. UM. And I

115
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: think a big part of that is because how intentional

116
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,919
Speaker 1: everybody is. I think what made this very unique for

117
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: me at least was how many women got out of

118
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: the limo and looked at Zack and said, hey, I'm

119
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 1: really happy it's you or I'm here because of you.

120
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: And I know Zach is really sort of as people

121
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: have seen. I think through the first two episodes, he's

122
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: really gone out of his way to to try to

123
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: give as many women as he could time. He wants

124
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: to get to know as many as possible. He took

125
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: everybody on a date UM this past episode, so you know,

126
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: he's really he's really intent on on making this work

127
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: and finding his person Um. But I think a lot

128
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: of the a lot of the drama that unfolds throughout

129
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: the course of this year. I think it's very organic

130
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: in the sense that it's not it's not necessarily a Cattinus.

131
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: It's it's people falling in love and people getting their

132
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: hearts broken. And I think goodbyes for Zach are really tough.

133
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: He Um, He's he's the type of guy that just

134
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: does not want to hurt anybody's feelings. Um. And so

135
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: for me, you know where when you know when when

136
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: pass leads would say goodbye, they would just sort of

137
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,559
Speaker 1: say goodbye, and it was it was a tough moment.

138
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: They kind of head back on in the mansion and

139
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: kind of collect everybody and tell them where we're off

140
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: to next. With With Zach, he really like felt the moment.

141
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: And you know, there's times people will see as we

142
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: move along, when when there's a goodbye, whether it's planned

143
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: or it's not planned, but there happens after a ros ceremony,

144
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: or it happens premature to a ROAs ceremony somewhere, we'll see. Um,

145
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: the further he goes, the harder he takes it, and

146
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: he really needs time to sort of collect himself and

147
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: he's sort of this present, he's in the moment, and

148
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: it was some of those moments where sometimes you know

149
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: you've got to kind of as a host go back

150
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: in there and and be a shoulder to cry and

151
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: you got to give the guy a hug sometimes, And

152
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 1: so it was. It was just a different It was

153
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: a different overall field based on the fact that Zack

154
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: is authentic to himself. He's his own guy, and it

155
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: was a bit of a different, a different journey than

156
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: some of the others that I've I've posted so far. Yeah,

157
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: are there times when you want to jump in and

158
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: go do something when they're pretty and are you a

159
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: producer at this point? Okay, so are there times when

160
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: you want to jump in and do something different than

161
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: the producer? Or have there been Has there been a

162
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: time like that where you've wanted to do something and um,

163
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: it hasn't been something that the producers have said that

164
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: you can do any moments like that. Yeah, I think

165
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: I haven't had to too many of those. I would

166
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: say that what I'm trying to do and I'm trying

167
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: to be as mindful as i can about this, just

168
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: not making it about myself, um, you know, and always

169
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: trying to interject with my advice because it's really it's

170
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 1: not about me, you know, it's about Zach, and it's

171
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: about the women. I mean, it's it's about the women

172
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: as much as it is about Zack. It's their journey too,

173
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: And so you know, as you know, the journey kind

174
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: of it, it takes itself out on its own course

175
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: and it goes where it will. Zack's journey certainly does

176
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: not go totally out. He thinks it's going to go um,

177
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: and there are a bunch of twists and turns and

178
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 1: things that he's prepared for. He's got a lot of

179
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: difficult decisions still ahead of him. Um. You know, my

180
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: job is to try to be there and be a

181
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: confidante for him, and to be an ally and and

182
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,719
Speaker 1: a voice of reason and and to give advice if

183
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: Zach wants it and wants to ask for it. Zach

184
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: is that and by the way, he does do that.

185
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: And and obviously he also has Sean who's who's there

186
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: for him as well, the sort of to give him

187
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: some some some added perspective. But you know, I just

188
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 1: I think as the host, you got to be careful

189
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: not to not to constantly be jumping in, you know,

190
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: and because because you know, I don't want to derail,

191
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: you know, where Zack's going. And by the way, you know,

192
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: things that I think Zach should do aren't necessarily right

193
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: for Zach. Zach knows himself better and what he wants

194
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: than I do. And so I'm just I'm always trying

195
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: to be sort of sort of thoughtful and aware of that.

196
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: Just available. Yeah, always, yeah, always there, and there's you know,

197
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: and there are times certainly that I do have to

198
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: go in and and be there for him, no doubt Jack.

199
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: But I think you have to pick those moments carefully

200
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: and thoughtful, because like, I don't need Zack thinking I'm

201
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 1: always like peeking over his shoulder and I'm hiding in

202
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: the bushes, like ready to jump in and like save

203
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: the guy. It's like, you know, you're proud of him.

204
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: You want to go out and do it, but you know,

205
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: but you you gotta let him figure it out for

206
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: himself too, Yeah, of course. Um okay, So what has

207
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,719
Speaker 1: been your favorite part of this new job for you?

208
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: I think it's just meeting meeting the people. I I

209
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: just love people. I love being around them and I

210
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: love getting to know them and so you know, it's

211
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 1: that that to me has been It's been a lot

212
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: of fun and I've stayed in touch with a lot

213
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: of them. Um, and so it's really really cool. Um

214
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: it's fun sometimes to be on a season and then

215
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: see them again in Paradise and kind of see where

216
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: that goes. And you know, try to help people, you know,

217
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: find their person and find love. And we've been successful

218
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,199
Speaker 1: in doing that as well. Uh. And then I have

219
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,719
Speaker 1: to say, because we've already touched on it, uh, but

220
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: avel doesn't suck, no kidding, right, it's a totally new thing.

221
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: I wish we could have. Well, I mean this season

222
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: on Zach season, he hit like the jackpot when it

223
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 1: came to travel. So you know, when we leave California,

224
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: we go to the Bahamas and we go to London

225
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: and we go to Estonia, place the show has never

226
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: been and I don't even know where that is. It's

227
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: like eastern Europe. It's like close to lot and Riga

228
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: and the Bay of Finland. It's like right across from

229
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,559
Speaker 1: from Finland. It's and I've actually been there before. It's

230
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 1: an amazing place. Um. So so I was really excited

231
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: for Zack on that. Uh. And then we also go

232
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: to Budapest, which is this incredibly beautiful and charming old

233
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: city with tons of history. Um yeah, Zach like totally

234
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: lucked out. There's the things that you and I never

235
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: got to do. We did not Pacific Pacific Northwest is great.

236
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: I just know Zack Za gets a sort of im not.

237
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: I'm not cutting on Seattle, but I definitely would have

238
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: loved to go to buddhadest um okay um. Compared to

239
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: ESPN because you have hosted or commentated or been an

240
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: analyst on ESPN, So compared to esp comparing ESPN to

241
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: The Bachelor, what is what's your face like? If you

242
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: had to pick one? I don't know. It's like hard

243
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: because like football is my wheelhouse. It's what I've always done,

244
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: and I've been doing that, you know, I've been I've

245
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: been working at ESPN for seventeen years now. It's crazy. Yeah,

246
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: I've been there a long time and I love it.

247
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: I love football, and it's like, you know, you're My

248
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: role really is an analytical role. You talk about football,

249
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: you talk about what you see, you give your opinions

250
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 1: on that you do it in forty second sound bites.

251
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 1: It's all live all the time, and then you're out

252
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: where this is a totally different animal. And I think

253
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: what I love about this is that, you know, because

254
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: I'm so new at it, still I still get nervous.

255
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: I still have those feels, um, you know, but I'm

256
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: fanning out as well because you know, having been The

257
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: Bachelor and having been a fan of the franchise. I

258
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 1: just love where I am and I love what I'm doing,

259
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 1: and I love the people. And like we talked about earlier,

260
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: you wear so many different hats. It's never so much analytical.

261
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: It's it's being a therapist at times, you know, being

262
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: a shoulder to cry on, being a cheerleader, giving advice,

263
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: being a mentor. All those different things were really really fun.

264
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: So um, I love I'm lucky that I get to

265
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: do both at the same time. And it's just they

266
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: just balance and play off each other so well. They

267
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: are incredible jobs. I mean I know that my husband

268
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: when you were announced as um working in college football,

269
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: he was you know, I feel like he would have

270
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: so much fun at that job actually, to the point

271
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: that he was like, you should go do that. I'm like, No,

272
00:14:54,840 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: I know nothing about football compared to you, and I

273
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: would be horrible as you would be great. You would

274
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: be amazing, sweet, but would be incredible. Listen, I know

275
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: Ryan a little bit because my football agent also knows Ryan,

276
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: Peter Schaefer from Colorado. You are Peter Schaefer's client. Yes,

277
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: he was my agent when I played football. I know.

278
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: It's like six degrees of separations. So I've known all

279
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: about Ryan and how much he loves football. But I

280
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: can tell right away you're super talented. If you ever

281
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: wanted to do it, that would be something you'd be amazing.

282
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: Oh you're the sweetest, um. But yeah, no, there's no

283
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: way I would stress out too much. Like it comes

284
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: naturally to guys like you and Ryan who have played

285
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Like it comes naturally. You did it

286
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: for so long, it's part of who you are. For me,

287
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: I could commentate on a dance competition, but not a

288
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: football game. Nope, not for me. But I'll leave it

289
00:15:55,880 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: to you guys the pros. Um. Okay, so I I

290
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: think this is um. This is something that I would

291
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: worry about as a host, is if I said something

292
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: Because I do this? Everyone does this, right, You go

293
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: to a party, you're talking to somebody and you say

294
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: something that you're like, why did I say that? Or

295
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: you think about it like an hour later the next

296
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: day and you're you're like, oh, that just makes me

297
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: want to cringe that I said that. Is there anything

298
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: that you've said so far or in a way that

299
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: you've said it, that you've you've just totally regretted saying

300
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: it or cringed at the fact that you said it.

301
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: It's hard. I mean, I in general hate seeing myself

302
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: on TV. I was like it when I played football.

303
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: I hate it when I played football. I used to

304
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: hate watching myself play back, and when I see myself

305
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: on ESPN after, I absolutely hate it. I hate my voice.

306
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: I hate the way I say things. It's not how

307
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: I think I sound, because what I've learned is it's

308
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: never as good as you thought. Like there were times

309
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: when I played or there's times I say things and

310
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,199
Speaker 1: I'm like, heck, yeah, that was smooth. That was host

311
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: you my friend or a host, And then I watched

312
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,360
Speaker 1: it back and replay and I'm like, that was so basic.

313
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: That's said. There was nothing about that that was unique

314
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: or special. Why did you think it was so good.

315
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: But what I've also learned is while it's never as

316
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 1: good as you think, it's also never quite as bad

317
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: as you think too. You're so right there. Ever, are

318
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 1: times where you kind of say something, or you set

319
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,479
Speaker 1: something up, or you know, you're you know, whatever it

320
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 1: is on the show, like like the things I get

321
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 1: really fired up for. This is probably really a stupid thing.

322
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: But you know when you go in and you know

323
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 1: when you dropped the date cards. Sometimes when when the

324
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: women are the guys are all in the room and

325
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: you're telling them where they're flying to next, and you're

326
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a big reveal and it's gonna be

327
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: like this really incredible international destination. Everybody, go pack your

328
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: bags and get out because your flight leaves in an hour.

329
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 1: Let's go. In my mind, I always make it sound

330
00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: like I think I'm making it seem like it's just

331
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: this huge, amazing thing, And sometimes I watch it back

332
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: and I'm like, you really sort of let your foot

333
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: off the gas on that one, Like you didn't really

334
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 1: like drive at home, you know. And I know part

335
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: of it is the fact that normally we've had a

336
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 1: rose ceremony the night before and you've like slept for

337
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,959
Speaker 1: like three hours maybe when you go back in the

338
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: mansion to tell everybody. So it's like you're like stumbling

339
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: in everybody's half awake and they have to go back.

340
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: But I always wish like I would, I would deliver

341
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 1: that with a lot more. We'll see, We'll see how

342
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: it goes on Zach season, because like I'm fired up

343
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: for them because they're getting to go to these amazing

344
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 1: places and so yes, hopefully that hopefully it comes across better,

345
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,360
Speaker 1: but it's again never as good as I thought, never

346
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,679
Speaker 1: quite as bad. Also, yeah, that's a great way to

347
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: look at it. I think you're right. I remember hearing

348
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: something from someone about, um, don't worry too much about

349
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: what other people think, because they really aren't thinking that

350
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: much about you, you know, like, don't worry so much.

351
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: It's not good, you know, just do you? And yeah, um, okay,

352
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: So I would love to know like about you personally.

353
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: Obviously you being on the show as the host, we

354
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 1: don't get to know a lot about who Jesse is

355
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: and you're like day to day. I would love to

356
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: know how you met your wife and tell me a

357
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,959
Speaker 1: little bit about her. Yeah, thanks, So I'm super lucky.

358
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: I'm married to this amazing woman who's way out of

359
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: my league. And I met Emily. Emily's from Brazil and

360
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: she lived in New York City for eleven years. I

361
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 1: was there for twenty one years. I stuck around after

362
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: I played during all my different TV stuff, and I

363
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: actually met Emily in a very organic way, which I'm

364
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 1: really happy about. I met her at a boxing class actually,

365
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: uh in New York City. Yeah. So I watched this

366
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: gorgeous woman, all sweaty, and she was punching this bag

367
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: and she was just beating the crap out of it.

368
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 1: And I was so turned on, but I was also

369
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:53,919
Speaker 1: kind of scared. And it was like this this like

370
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: fine line in the middle, and I was like, man,

371
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: if I'm ever lucky enough to date this woman, I

372
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: am never gonna lie to her. All right, good, And

373
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 1: so that's kind started. Yeah, it's just kind of how

374
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 1: it started. And our first date was a boxing class

375
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 1: and then it kind of involved the protein shakes and

376
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: then lunches. Emily really slow play. She really kind of

377
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: wanted to see what I was about. Um, And you know,

378
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 1: here we are, like almost six years later, and uh,

379
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: she's still putting up with me, so it's great. Stop.

380
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure if you speak French to her,

381
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: she's like a puddle. She's yeah, she's she. It's like

382
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,360
Speaker 1: when she speaks Portuguese to me. I love it when

383
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 1: she speaks to her parents or her friends. You're just

384
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,239
Speaker 1: sort of sitting there and you're like, coma just uh.

385
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:46,959
Speaker 1: You probably just called me a bunch of bad names,

386
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 1: but I don't care. It sounds amazing. Who cares? Yeah,

387
00:20:49,960 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: your lunch order is making me drool? Are you guys

388
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: based out of New York? Still? We know? We moved

389
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: to Miami actually back in April. Amazing. It was over

390
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: the cold weather. Oh that's amazing. I actually lived in

391
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 1: Miami for seven years. I went to University of Miami

392
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: and dance. I didn't when we were there, um Coral Gables,

393
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: so I stayed close to school and UM. And then

394
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 1: I worked at Miami Children's Hospital, which it's called something

395
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: else now it's the Children's hospital there, but I was

396
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: like five minutes away from work, which was amazing that

397
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: it was fun. They actually just announced that we're having

398
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 1: a reunion in March where all of the Heat dancers

399
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: are going to come and we get to dance on

400
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: the court, um and just re unite, and I'm trying

401
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: to make it work. I don't know, but I'll let

402
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: you know. If we come to Miami, Um, I'm glad

403
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: to see. Do you ever bump into Ashley or JP?

404
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: I do not since I've been down there, And I

405
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: also haven't been there at Ton too. It's like with

406
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: the schedule, I'm sort of there for a couple of

407
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: days and I'm gone. But Emily is so happy. We're

408
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,919
Speaker 1: close to the beach and we've got the dog and

409
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: she she walks the dog into the water every morning

410
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: and it's just like her paradise that it's great love

411
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 1: it has she been able to travel with you, she has,

412
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 1: which is really really important for us and our relationship

413
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 1: because I'm I'm constantly on the go, and so what's

414
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: really really neat is that she gets to come out

415
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 1: to l A when we're filming in l A. And

416
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: then on some of these trips we take, she's able

417
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: to kind of pop out and join along. And so

418
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: over the last year and a half she's got to

419
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: sort of meet everybody on the crew and there's like,

420
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 1: you know, the Bachelor crew, it's like it's like four deep.

421
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,679
Speaker 1: There's so many people and so there's a lot of

422
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: familiarity there with her, which is really nice, meeting people

423
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 1: in our producers and like the camera people in the US,

424
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: an audio and everyone that that makes the show so great. Um,

425
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: she's kind of she's kind of becoming, you know, sort

426
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: of this extended part of that family, which is which

427
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 1: has been really really cool, and it's it's great for

428
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,239
Speaker 1: us to be able to spend that time away from

429
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 1: home too. Yeah, of course, I think it's so important

430
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: to get away. And like I said, I was doing

431
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: some interviews this morning and people were celebrating our twentieth

432
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 1: wedding anniversary in December, and you know, the question has

433
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 1: come up, what's your what's your secret? Or you know,

434
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 1: how do you keep going? And I think it's all

435
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: about prioritization and making sure that your relationship is is

436
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: at the top of the list. You know, when you're

437
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: when you're traveling, you try to do stuff together. When

438
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: when you our home, you try to do stuff together.

439
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 1: And just making sure that each other knows that, yeah,

440
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 1: you are each other's top priority. I think that's that's

441
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 1: the best way to go about life and make or

442
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: that you're happy. Um, so are you guys looking to

443
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: expand your family at all? And got something more? No,

444
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: we we've talked about Yeah, we would love to have kids,

445
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 1: and so I think we're sort of both at a

446
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: point where we're ready to have a little Jesse's and

447
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: emilies running around. So we're you know, we're excited and

448
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 1: hopeful and we'll see what happens. Yeah right, I mean

449
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 1: she's got a busy schedule following you around, but hopefully

450
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 1: you can have little bachelor babies. And I've waited, Yeah,

451
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: I've waited a long time to do this. I mean

452
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: it took me a lot of years to finally get

453
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 1: down on the knees. So I feel like it's it's

454
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:42,919
Speaker 1: time to kind of hustle it up a little bit,

455
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: start getting Yeah, it's a little ones running around now. Yeah,

456

460
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,719
Speaker 1: for a little girl. That would be great? Oh yes,

461
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: would you? Would you be? You know, I hate saying

462
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: this because as a parent. You can't pick a favorite.

463
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: And when I was pregnant, Everyone's like, what do you

464
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: hope you would have? Um? I just wanted a healthy baby.

465
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: But do you feel like being a girl dad would be?

466
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: You know, in your wheelhouse? Or would you rather be

467
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: a football with a little boy? I mean, you hit

468
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: it on the head. For me, it would just be

469
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 1: if we had you know, at this point, beggars can't

470
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 1: be choosers. I'll take anything, totally, take anything. And hey,

471
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: you can have a daughter and throw the football with

472
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 1: the daughter. Totally totally. I just I would. I would

473
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: love to have a little a little baby girl, and

474
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 1: because I know I would be a total daddy's girl

475
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: and she would have me wrapped around her finger and

476
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 1: I would do it. I would do it without any hesitation.

477
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: We just somehow don't make a lot of girls in

478
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 1: our family. I have two brothers. My brother has three boys.

479
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: My other brother has a boy. So something's got to give.

480
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: I think it's me. I'm going to manifest this. You're

481
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: going to do it right now? Yes, every night, you're

482
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: just going to think about it. Okay, So I'm sure

483
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 1: this is your job. Let's go one job. Um, Okay,

484
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: I want to end on UM on Zack season, give

485
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: us a little tease if you if you will. Obviously

486
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: I know you can't spoil anything. It comes with a job.

487
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 1: But is there something you can tell us that you

488
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 1: haven't told anyone else, or something you can tell us

489
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 1: about this season that is super exciting that we'll get

490
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: people to listen to this podcast, you know, like like

491
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,920
Speaker 1: for me, like I what I what I kind of

492
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: feel and why I'm so excited about this season, especially

493
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:01,679
Speaker 1: for Bachelor fans out there and people that have been

494
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 1: watching the show a long time, including when we were

495
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 1: we were on the show. UM, is that I think

496
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: this is gonna feel very nostalgic to a lot of them. Um.

497
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: This season really is a throwback in the sense that

498
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 1: it is so much more about the love story and

499
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: less about the drama. There absolutely is drama, no doubt

500
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 1: about it, and you can't like you can't avoid that,

501
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: but that's not going to be the prevailing, overriding theme

502
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: of this season. We know Zack's intentions on being there

503
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: and these women are very intent as well. They can't

504
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,719
Speaker 1: you know, they really are there for Zach and so,

505
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: like we were talking about earlier, UM, it's extremely emotional

506
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 1: and and you know, we're sort of going to ride

507
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 1: the lightning and ride the wave here with Zack as

508
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: he tries to navigate all of this. But um, you know,

509
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: his his soul main focus is finding love. He's not

510
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 1: there to play the drama. And you kind of saw

511
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: that in in this most recent episode. He just Zack

512
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,199
Speaker 1: is able to make decisions and not let things manifest

513
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 1: and fester. He he he can, he can step up.

514
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 1: He can make tough decisions and move on. I think

515
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: that's endearing him right now a lot with a lot

516
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: of the women in the house. Um, and so you know,

517
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: I I just spoke with Zach. I can't give the

518
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 1: ending away. Zach is extremely happy and he wouldn't change

519
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 1: anything about how this journey unfolds. So there's just a

520
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: lot of kind of old Bachelor vibes going on. We've

521
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 1: got the Bachelor Bowl coming up in the next episode,

522
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: which is something that's become synonymous with the franchise. There's

523
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 1: a massive pool party, which we had on my season

524
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,120
Speaker 1: at the Mansion when I was a Bachelor's acts about

525
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 1: the partake and that coming up as well. And there's

526
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: just you know, I think people are just going to

527
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: sort of see and feel a lot of a lot

528
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: of the love, which which really at the core of

529
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: this show. That's what it is about. That's what it

530
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 1: should be about. And I think we're really sort of

531
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 1: getting back to that on this season. Good. That's why

532
00:28:55,760 --> 00:29:00,040
Speaker 1: I've always watched. I feel like I love love and

533
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: I love to see a love story unfold and root

534
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: for the couple and and you know, see how it

535
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: pans out after the show. So I'm glad to hear that.

536
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I wish only the best for every single

537
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: person who has filled the shoes that we have been

538
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: lucky enough to Phil Prior, and um, I hope that

539
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: for Zach too, So thank you so much. I do

540
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: have one last question, So, um, do you think you
