Speaker 1: What is a Bachelor Happy Hour? Listeners, We're back this
Speaker 1: week and it's actually our last one before the holidays.
Speaker 1: We're gonna be taking a quick little break until twenty
Speaker 1: twenty two, but have no fear because we have a
Speaker 1: very exciting episode with a very in love, newly engaged couple,
Speaker 1: and we just have to cover everything from that amazing
Speaker 1: finale and after the final rose. That's right, you guys.
Speaker 1: Michelle's journey is officially come to an end, and her
Speaker 1: and Nate are fascily in love, and we are so
Speaker 1: excited to have them here today. I cannot wait. In Tasia,
Speaker 1: each week we always do a quick little recap, but
Speaker 1: let's just let's just cross it out, because I just
Speaker 1: want to bring on the happy couple. I want to
Speaker 1: see the ring, I want to see the smiles. I
Speaker 1: have to also say, I mean, everyone from this franchise
Speaker 1: is of course beautiful and studying, but they might be
Speaker 1: one of the hottest couples I have ever seen. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna the Bachelor Bautchelorette. I definitely stare at them
Speaker 1: when I watched them on television, like how is it possible?
Speaker 1: Like actually in their babies. God, I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: want to start talking about babies already, but like lord Jesus,
Speaker 1: i'd better be an aunt and they probably name with
Speaker 1: their children. Taient just saying, but I think it's time
Speaker 1: to have them on the show because I have so
Speaker 1: many questions. I want to know if there's a date.
Speaker 1: I want to know if they're living together soon. I
Speaker 1: want to know if Nate knows how to express them.
Speaker 1: So I want to know all of it. So here
Speaker 1: we go. Bran, Well, I'm so sad I was not
Speaker 1: able to be there last night. But hi, guys, welcome
Speaker 1: to have the hour. We're so pumped that you're both here. Finally,
Speaker 1: you guys, I've been waiting for this moment. Oh gosh,
Speaker 1: yes too. It's nice nice, Okay, Well, Nate and Michelle,
Speaker 1: you guys are actually in the same room together, being
Speaker 1: on camera and this together recording, being able to talk
Speaker 1: about your relationship freely. Welcome to the show, future, mister
Speaker 1: and missus Oakora. How are you guys doing right? I mean,
Speaker 1: it's been a whirlwind for sure, going through this. I
Speaker 1: feel like you can kind of prepare yourself as much
Speaker 1: as possible and as it unfolds, like you can continue
Speaker 1: to try to prepare yourself. But man, we learned how
Speaker 1: to communicate, didn't we Believe me, it's we've all been there,
Speaker 1: Becca and I, so don't worry about it. It's nothing new.
Speaker 1: But you guys have done an amazing job thus far.
Speaker 1: So m well, welcome to the club. This is exciting
Speaker 1: if anyone understands just the weird transition that you go
Speaker 1: from filming to then being in this weird secluded hiding
Speaker 1: space now to being able to shout names from the
Speaker 1: rooftop Tasia and I get it. We're so thrilled. What
Speaker 1: has that What has that part been like for you too?
Speaker 1: Where you can't even or I guess now you can,
Speaker 1: but you couldn't even say each other's names in public
Speaker 1: to make it seem like your boyfriend and girlfriend h
Speaker 1: slash fiances. Yeah yeah yeah no. Um for me, I
Speaker 1: mean what I did, because I mean Michelle and I
Speaker 1: are all obviously always texting, so I actually have her
Speaker 1: name in my phone backwards, so it's like eleseum joy
Speaker 1: or right, and so that was kind of funny. But
Speaker 1: that's like one of the like examples of like you
Speaker 1: really like it's just it's just you have to wait
Speaker 1: until you can actually be out in the public too
Speaker 1: to talk about stuff like this, So like nobody really knows.
Speaker 1: People don't can't tell who I'm texting unless they read
Speaker 1: everything backwards. So yeah, that's just like one of the examples,
Speaker 1: like just really excited that. Now, Um, we don't have
Speaker 1: to do weird things like putting each other's names in
Speaker 1: our phone's backward. You know, Wait, Michelle, what was your
Speaker 1: nickname for Nate? Oh there's there's a kidney face. It's
Speaker 1: just like you know, like the kids face emoj Yes, okay,
Speaker 1: got it. Oh that's it, the kiss of the lips. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what's real? What's what's my real? People know kind of
Speaker 1: said yoke, but his Okay, there is a kissy face.
Speaker 1: But before that, it's red because, um, everybody calls him
Speaker 1: the walking red Flags. So I just think name in
Speaker 1: my red, you know, I like that runs a good color.
Speaker 1: It's a sexy color. Yeah, it really flies joke about. Yes,
Speaker 1: his name is, his name's red, just because I mean, hey,
Speaker 1: that first time going through like this man was falling
Speaker 1: in love. He was talking to his family about all
Speaker 1: of his emotions for the first time ever. You are
Speaker 1: in the situation where you're talking about your feelings, Like
Speaker 1: I remember me going through that. That was not easy,
Speaker 1: let alone for somebody who normally doesn't do that regardless.
Speaker 1: And so yeah, only times where like I wanted to
Speaker 1: ask for clarification and we kind of joked about it
Speaker 1: after like the that finale on that day because I
Speaker 1: was like, nit, sometimes like wa is this what you meant?
Speaker 1: Or is this what you meant? He's like, that is
Speaker 1: not what I meant. I'm not that kind of and
Speaker 1: I'm like, WoT it. So we kind of just like
Speaker 1: started to laugh and joke about it, and just the
Speaker 1: fact of like you know, like I'm learning how to
Speaker 1: communicate through this. He's learning how to communicate through this. Um.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's definitely listen people, it's funny because he's
Speaker 1: not a red flag. I think if he actually was
Speaker 1: a red flag, I probably wanted to do that. And
Speaker 1: maybe people we'll just like make like the height the
Speaker 1: red flag, you know what I mean, Like I feel
Speaker 1: like anybody could sort you out through like you're high alone,
Speaker 1: so that's the red flag we're all like talking about
Speaker 1: lessen n Nate. If it makes you feel any better.
Speaker 1: My boyfriend Thomas was considered a huge red flag on
Speaker 1: the past season of The Bad Scherette too, and I
Speaker 1: was like, fuck it, Red's my favorite color. I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna own it. And you know people are gonna say whatever,
Speaker 1: just tune them out. And it sounds like you have
Speaker 1: been making a joke about it and can just laugh
Speaker 1: it off. And that's really all you can do at
Speaker 1: this point. It's we'll get you and Thomas together and
Speaker 1: really give people something to talk about. I want to know,
Speaker 1: kind of plane into the fact that now you can
Speaker 1: say each other's names in public, you can go outside
Speaker 1: and go grocery shopping and hold hands, and everyone can
Speaker 1: now see who Michelle you ended up with. Ultimately, it's
Speaker 1: one thing for you too to be able to feel
Speaker 1: those things together. But I'm sure your families, who are
Speaker 1: so thrilled and excited and have probably been bottling this
Speaker 1: up so hard inside too since you got back from
Speaker 1: the show from filming, how have they been able to
Speaker 1: contain their excitement. It sounds like the families are hitting
Speaker 1: it off, So give us a little bit more of
Speaker 1: the family and how they're doing and how they want
Speaker 1: to welcome you both to their families. I think one
Speaker 1: of My favorite parts about this entire thing is just
Speaker 1: even going through the process, Nate and I were constantly
Speaker 1: talking about what type of family we wanted in the future,
Speaker 1: what we wanted for our families together like after this,
Speaker 1: And I think the best part is that everything that
Speaker 1: we talked about and everything that we kind of put
Speaker 1: in place, it's that's the direction it's going. And so
Speaker 1: like our moms, our moms talk all the time, me
Speaker 1: and his siblings and vice versa, and just like being
Speaker 1: able to truly feel supported by both of our families,
Speaker 1: and it's it's just been really nice that we can
Speaker 1: now really like truly all embrace that together and all
Speaker 1: be together because obviously we were going back and forth
Speaker 1: and able to see each other like here and there,
Speaker 1: But now our families can actually be together too, and
Speaker 1: that Michelle Michelle my sister, like faced on each other
Speaker 1: all the time, like it really is has like another
Speaker 1: big sister now, So it's nice. I love that bringing
Speaker 1: the families together. So difficult during that time of like
Speaker 1: being kind of in hiding, you feel like you're kind
Speaker 1: of living this double life and your parents can't even
Speaker 1: kind of chime in that with you. But now that
Speaker 1: everything's out in the open, because I'm sure you're going
Speaker 1: to make so many memories and be able to spend
Speaker 1: this new year like really getting to know each other,
Speaker 1: have family parties and all that kind of stuff. But
Speaker 1: I'm really dying to know what the kids think. Have
Speaker 1: the kids weren't the kids able to ever guess that
Speaker 1: you were in love and you had found somebody or
Speaker 1: what were they on to you? I have to have
Speaker 1: a feeling that they did, Like honestly, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I feel like we I really did not open the
Speaker 1: floor too much to have them be able to talk
Speaker 1: about it, because then that's just like that's a black
Speaker 1: hole going down that. But I will say that, you know,
Speaker 1: they're excited Nate's tall. They asked about it. It's grade
Speaker 1: like the boys are like whoa and the girls are like, oh,
Speaker 1: I did for the day, where like he gets to
Speaker 1: come in and I don't know, teach him something. You know,
Speaker 1: majority of my life, like once I gave up on
Speaker 1: like basketball NBA dreams, which you guys all show how
Speaker 1: that happens. Please enlighten us when wash or when did
Speaker 1: you give up your basketball NBA dreams? Oh Man, probably
Speaker 1: a really young age like what like three, like two
Speaker 1: three completely, you know, the airballing every shot I took. No,
Speaker 1: like that is that is gonna be something fun? Like
Speaker 1: if that is something that um can be done for
Speaker 1: me to come and meet the kids. Um And and
Speaker 1: you know, teach maybe like class or something that'd be
Speaker 1: really cool, because I did want to be a teacher.
Speaker 1: My mom's a teacher, my stepmom's a teacher, my auntie's
Speaker 1: a teacher, A lot of teachers of my family, and um,
Speaker 1: I went to business route, but I did started my
Speaker 1: college career. I guess I'm going as a going the
Speaker 1: route to be a teacher. Then I just wished, like
Speaker 1: halfway through, oh wow, that's incredible. I give you know,
Speaker 1: I'm just picturing Nate walking into this. I just remember
Speaker 1: elementary schools. You know, everything is so small, like watching
Speaker 1: Nate walking, Like is your head even gonna fit through
Speaker 1: the doorways? Like picturing you at these little tiny desks.
Speaker 1: Not that fifth graders are tiny by any means, but
Speaker 1: compared to you, they would be. That actually leads me
Speaker 1: to my next question, because Michelle, before you ever left
Speaker 1: for filming, you and I actually went out grabbed lunch
Speaker 1: or dinner talked about your future goals, and I'd think
Speaker 1: at that point you had mentioned you you know, you
Speaker 1: still wanted to stay with your career, you potentially wanted
Speaker 1: to become a principal. And last night you shared some
Speaker 1: big news with the world that Nate has plans to
Speaker 1: move to Minnesota and that you two are looking to
Speaker 1: buy a house, which is so exciting to begin with. So, Nate,
Speaker 1: I'm also from Minnesota, so you picked a good state.
Speaker 1: Just bundle up in the wintertime. You will enjoy the holidays.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you what, but what is how is
Speaker 1: that going? What is that like now? You know, getting
Speaker 1: ready to move and to go house hunting and next
Speaker 1: steps in Minnesota? Um, well we started that a while ago.
Speaker 1: But it's it's it's something to really look forward to, right,
Speaker 1: Like I'm excited to be to be moving. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: Austin has been the fun for the last two years.
Speaker 1: But I'm always for the adventure and honestly, like being
Speaker 1: only a seven hour drive from my home city, all
Speaker 1: my childhood friends, my whole family. Um, that's something that
Speaker 1: albums are looking forward to, right because yeah, like we're
Speaker 1: just so close, Like a seven hour drive is nothing, right,
Speaker 1: so it's across the border. And now we're in my neighborhood.
Speaker 1: My family can come down, hang out with Michelle's family
Speaker 1: at any time they want. It's close. So it's we're
Speaker 1: looking forward to this. And so you're used to the cold, Yeah,
Speaker 1: because it's a breeze. Minnesota's a breeze compared to that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Winnipeg is cold. And I actually already did look because
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not a fan of being cold. That's
Speaker 1: why I guess on the average, Whinnipeg is like a
Speaker 1: solid ten degrees colder than Minnesota at all times. So
Speaker 1: you know what, See, you got this cold sun, So
Speaker 1: it's not like that. You know. The last time I
Speaker 1: was in winning Peg was a couple of years ago,
Speaker 1: and I kid you not, it was negative fifty seven degrees.
Speaker 1: And I am not exaggerating negative fifty seven. That's that's
Speaker 1: not real. That was real, Tasia. Let me tell you
Speaker 1: what the frozen bookers in my nose. It was real.
Speaker 1: It was real. What lashes? That's like when your your
Speaker 1: eyelashes these little icicles. Yeah, how do people function? Like?
Speaker 1: Absolutely not? I would not do that. Well. I took
Speaker 1: the city bus everywhere I went, like to class, to school,
Speaker 1: to to university everything, like to practice everything. So like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know that that those are like high You're definitely
Speaker 1: leveling up. Oh no, so I'm just happy. That's not
Speaker 1: that cool. But hey, you know I do, I do.
Speaker 1: I'd even do Winnipeg weather from Michelle, you know. So
Speaker 1: I have to comment on the way you too smile.
Speaker 1: You just are lighting up our screen right now. I
Speaker 1: wish all of the viewers, all of the listeners could
Speaker 1: see this, because I mean, obviously we saw it on
Speaker 1: the season two. I think Michelle, you just you were
Speaker 1: giddy around Nate and you just lit up in such
Speaker 1: a different way when you tour together. But it's really
Speaker 1: special to see you two now just on your own
Speaker 1: in a home, just chilling. It so special. I'm yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm happy that everyone else SUPs to see that. I
Speaker 1: think that that was a hard part of not being
Speaker 1: able to talk about it, because I a producer brought
Speaker 1: it up to me that like anytime somebody said Nate like,
Speaker 1: I was just like, who like my soul just like
Speaker 1: light up? Tasha, you were there like yeah, you will
Speaker 1: go away when you're like at home, And so I
Speaker 1: had to consciously like not smile at times because we'd
Speaker 1: be out in public and like a fan would come
Speaker 1: up and somebody would ask on Nate and I'd be like, like,
Speaker 1: you know, but that was hard. It's the best cup
Speaker 1: of secret. Yeah, seriously, though, it's a hard secret to keep,
Speaker 1: you know, Like my brother just found out, you know,
Speaker 1: five with the with the rest of the world. Um,
Speaker 1: so you know, it's it is. It is a hard
Speaker 1: secret to keep, that's for sure. You know, because you're excited.
Speaker 1: You want to tell everybody. You want to tell your brother,
Speaker 1: you want to tell everybody you know, but you gotta
Speaker 1: you gotta kind of picking shoes exactly who you can tell. Like,
Speaker 1: you know, sister most is my best friend, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. So that's why she definitely, she definitely
Speaker 1: and she she's in love with Michelle. Like it's anyways,
Speaker 1: I'm a tangent right now. It is it is hard. Wait, okay,
Speaker 1: I need to go back to my initial question because
Speaker 1: we went off on such a tangent about Canada and
Speaker 1: it being cold. Have you guys started to look at
Speaker 1: homes in Minnesota? Have you fund anything that's cut your
Speaker 1: eye a lot? Yeah, has caught her eye. What was
Speaker 1: so like we started looking and even like with the
Speaker 1: housing market right now, it goes so fast and times
Speaker 1: where like it pops up and I'm like, we're like,
Speaker 1: is it early to like go for that one. I mean,
Speaker 1: we really would love to be in it, but like
Speaker 1: we're not out in public yet. So now now it's
Speaker 1: just really really to the racist now that we're like
Speaker 1: she came on, really in this really like really well
Speaker 1: uh well built out spreadsheet on Google sheets or whatever
Speaker 1: for we we can like all of our favorite listings. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we've we've been going, we've been going crazy on this.
Speaker 1: Now that we're public, I think it's gonna be a
Speaker 1: lot easier for us to what is spreadsheet or is
Speaker 1: it Nate? It has to be Michelle. Okay, I started
Speaker 1: a spreadsheet and he reorganized it and it's like top quality,
Speaker 1: like y'all, y'all saw it. Ryan, I was gonna teaching
Speaker 1: my student spreadsheets, do you think? Yeah? His like Excel
Speaker 1: technology skills are honestly above and beyond. Okay, so I'm
Speaker 1: organized and efficient, Yeah, I'm yes, he teaches me daily
Speaker 1: like new tech tools. Oh look see that that's not
Speaker 1: a red flag. That's you see you might be red
Speaker 1: still but that's not a red flag. He means, I'm
Speaker 1: going to send you some list to make me some
Speaker 1: exults for you. Absolutely. Okay, wait so we okay, so
Speaker 1: this house. What were you just about to say, You're
Speaker 1: about to say something until I interrupted, No, that we're
Speaker 1: just we're really we're really looking. And I mean with this,
Speaker 1: I think everyone kind of just different couples go different
Speaker 1: directions with I guess I am and him and I
Speaker 1: are like, nah, let's go. Well. I think it's also
Speaker 1: like it's different for you too, because you have a
Speaker 1: career in Minnesota that doesn't really allow you to kind
Speaker 1: of just take time off for months on end and
Speaker 1: just kind of like really get to know each other.
Speaker 1: But I feel like this is such a good way
Speaker 1: for you both to kind of just jump into real life.
Speaker 1: You're gonna definitely see her and her element, and I
Speaker 1: feel like you're going to find your own element and
Speaker 1: this is I don't know, I think this might be
Speaker 1: a recipe for success, and especially if you're finding a house.
Speaker 1: I'm coming over. I'll bring it home housewarming gift. Just
Speaker 1: let me know what you guys need. I got you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're definitely looking forward to this. This is gonna be
Speaker 1: like a lot of fun, finding the house, moving in together.
Speaker 1: We're looking forward. I feel like you were you were
Speaker 1: the first person. You asked me first, like, okay, cool,
Speaker 1: when am I coming to Minnesota? Yeah, he's ready, He's ready.
Speaker 1: I remember that conversation because it was like great after
Speaker 1: the engagement where we're still in Mexico, We're laying bed together.
Speaker 1: I'm like, we were just talking having fun. I think
Speaker 1: it was like a couple of days passed by and
Speaker 1: I was like, so I could probably cancel my lease,
Speaker 1: like really soon, like sho, He's like next month if
Speaker 1: you want, Like oh, like Michelle, this this is so important.
Speaker 1: You have to find somebody that actually gets excited and
Speaker 1: loves coming to Minnesota, because I feel like most people,
Speaker 1: and I will say I've been in relationships in the
Speaker 1: past where people have kind of pooh pooed and they've
Speaker 1: been like, no, what, it's cold, I'm not that excited.
Speaker 1: But I will say it's game changing when you have
Speaker 1: a partner who is thrilled like Nate. I love this attitude.
Speaker 1: I love that you are already what's the word, Um,
Speaker 1: you're already Minnesotan or whatever. Yeah, you're only projecting of
Speaker 1: what your futures could look like together. And I mean
Speaker 1: we've I mean Tasiana, We've seen season after season and
Speaker 1: people sometimes couples come from the show and they're like,
Speaker 1: see you, we're not quite sure yet, and well, maybe
Speaker 1: we'll go here, maybe we'll go there. But it's so
Speaker 1: important when you guys are on the same page and
Speaker 1: can actually make plans and put down roots because at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, like, it's you too in
Speaker 1: your relationship, and that's really all that matters. But having
Speaker 1: somebody who is supportive and gung ho about coming to
Speaker 1: Minnesota is so key. You get some points, Nate. Yeah, see,
Speaker 1: these are the points that I've been wanting to share
Speaker 1: with everybody, but I couldn't. So now, well, let's talk
Speaker 1: about some more points that Nate has possibly scored throughout
Speaker 1: this season. Because now you guys are out in the open,
Speaker 1: we can really talk about your true feelings now and
Speaker 1: get some better insight between both of you. But let's
Speaker 1: go back to Night one. Nate, You've got the first
Speaker 1: impression Rose and the first kiss. I mean, did you know,
Speaker 1: okay for both both of you, Michelle, did you know
Speaker 1: he was the one? And Nate, did you know she
Speaker 1: was the one? Just from that kiss alone or just
Speaker 1: from that night I think, I think, well, we've actually
Speaker 1: had this conversation before. We are both not really like
Speaker 1: love at first sight people, and I think for us,
Speaker 1: but I was like, we just always have wanted to
Speaker 1: make sure that there's like depths there and we like
Speaker 1: connect on all these different levels and that we're going
Speaker 1: to connect outside of this entire point. So as much
Speaker 1: as it seems like you spend a lot of time together,
Speaker 1: like you really don't like our conversations. They definitely were progressive,
Speaker 1: but they were also so quick and so I feel
Speaker 1: like we're asking the questions that we needed to ask.
Speaker 1: But for sure, like we were both like nah, I
Speaker 1: love that first site. No, Like I mean he was attractive, dude.
Speaker 1: I remember him walking out a limit and be like, okay, partly,
Speaker 1: but it definitely that whole season to make sure that
Speaker 1: we were on the same page with each other and
Speaker 1: that we you know, we could see a partner and
Speaker 1: both of us yeah, and like and going back to
Speaker 1: kind of like that night one, Like Night one was
Speaker 1: really special, especially getting like like I'm not the type
Speaker 1: two to like going for for kisses and whatnot. So
Speaker 1: I remember like when Michelle did kiss me, I was like,
Speaker 1: you just unlocked a can of worms because every time
Speaker 1: I know, and I learned my lessons really quick at
Speaker 1: the date when she she she sweared me. But but anyways,
Speaker 1: m Michelle, that very first night when she came down,
Speaker 1: she said something along the lines of I'm looking for
Speaker 1: somebody to make or be or make the most natural
Speaker 1: out of an unnatural environment. I was really like what
Speaker 1: I was focused on pretty much the entire time. Okay,
Speaker 1: I want to know because it might not have been
Speaker 1: love at first sight for you too, but for both
Speaker 1: of you, when was the moment that you knew and
Speaker 1: it clicked where Michelle you were like, Okay, it's Nate.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be Nate. This is it, and vice versa
Speaker 1: for you, Nate, m that's do you want to start?
Speaker 1: You want me to start? For me, i'd have to
Speaker 1: say after the basketball group day, the conversation that Michelle
Speaker 1: and I had, the conversation that Michelle and I had
Speaker 1: after that basketball day, I just remember kind of going
Speaker 1: back to my hotel room after that cocktail party, laying
Speaker 1: in bed and just thinking to myself, like, well, you know,
Speaker 1: like I was just like, okay, this is what's going
Speaker 1: on here? Like I didn't, I just I was fully
Speaker 1: I guess I was like, okay, I'm, I'm, I'm I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have to like really see, like see what's going
Speaker 1: on here because this is this is somebody that after
Speaker 1: that one conversation, I was like, okay, like I am,
Speaker 1: I'm seriously drawn to this individual. Um And I don't
Speaker 1: know what I was expecting, but I didn't think I
Speaker 1: was going to feel that so soon. And so it
Speaker 1: was that I was on and I remember Yeah, like
Speaker 1: I said, we had a conversation and everything that was
Speaker 1: said in that conversation and the way that we were
Speaker 1: just the conversation that we had, the way that we
Speaker 1: were bouncing off each other, the way that we couldn't
Speaker 1: stop smiling, like I haven't felt that way before. Um
Speaker 1: and maybe like per se, the whole like sparks and
Speaker 1: and and love at first night wasn't necessarily the first night.
Speaker 1: There was so much going on that first night with Yeah,
Speaker 1: that that first conversation, the true conversation after a cocktail,
Speaker 1: like for me at least, I was a definition of
Speaker 1: like sparks were flying and I never experienced that before,
Speaker 1: and I was like, I was, I just remember being nervous.
Speaker 1: I was just like, I need to hold on to this,
Speaker 1: like I gotta I gotta like really see this through
Speaker 1: and see what's lawn here, because I've never felt this
Speaker 1: way before. And that was, you know, the first group date.
Speaker 1: So that was when I was like, I'm happy I came.
Speaker 1: You know. So back to I thinking back to your
Speaker 1: first conversation where he yelled like, I'm so happy I
Speaker 1: signed that contract. I'm so happy. I'm so happy. Oh
Speaker 1: you mean to be on the show happy that you
Speaker 1: did too, But for me, it was um that. So
Speaker 1: the conversation that Nate was talking about was after that conversation,
Speaker 1: I had actually taken a minute to step aside because
Speaker 1: I had become really emotional. It's just like that I
Speaker 1: was having for Nate and not realizing that you could
Speaker 1: feel that strongly for somebody. But then you know, him
Speaker 1: and I are both very um realistic, like logical people too,
Speaker 1: and wanting to make sure, okay, is this something that
Speaker 1: can last. I don't want this to be infatuation, you know,
Speaker 1: especially from his point or from his point, there's a
Speaker 1: bunch of other men. From my point, it's like I'm
Speaker 1: the only girl, I'm the only option. Wait, didn't you know?
Speaker 1: There's just all these different layers and for me coming
Speaker 1: into it. And I think, Tasha you know this too,
Speaker 1: because we had some conversations about this. But I give
Speaker 1: everything one hundred and ten percent. Maybe that's that maybe
Speaker 1: too much at times, but I really did like force
Speaker 1: myself to be open and so that you know, could
Speaker 1: I have shut off early on and been like, Yep,
Speaker 1: this is my strongest connection, this is who I'm madly
Speaker 1: in love, like feeling like I'm falling madly in love.
Speaker 1: What can be done? Yes? But I also felt like
Speaker 1: are you left with what ifs? And so I did
Speaker 1: really challenge myself to stay open. But with that said,
Speaker 1: like that also puts a lot on him, you know,
Speaker 1: watching all of this back and having me be so
Speaker 1: open with everybody and you know, really instilling one hundred
Speaker 1: percent into this entire journey and process, and it can
Speaker 1: it's a beautiful thing, but it's also a really difficult
Speaker 1: thing to handle. And I mean he, I mean, he's
Speaker 1: been awesome, but it's not going to be easy and
Speaker 1: it hasn't been. But to be able to actually finally
Speaker 1: like be together now and start taking steps forward where
Speaker 1: it's like yep, okay, like this is mine, like let's
Speaker 1: you know, do you feel like that? And yeah, but
Speaker 1: it was There's definitely a lot of moments where I
Speaker 1: felt so so, so so strong, and it's like is
Speaker 1: this do I say it? Do not say? Well, Michelle,
Speaker 1: we knew. I think everyone watching just knew how gravitated,
Speaker 1: gravitated towards Nate you were. Is that the right phrase
Speaker 1: to use? Towards gravitated towards me? And you just And
Speaker 1: it's easy for us as viewers to kind of pick
Speaker 1: up are every relationship that you have and be like, oh, well,
Speaker 1: she's more like this with somebody and more like this.
Speaker 1: But every time you were with Nate and you two
Speaker 1: were together, it was just it was like you could
Speaker 1: just tell you just radiated and you were just and
Speaker 1: I kind of remember being in your position like trying
Speaker 1: trying to keep things in enough where you don't give
Speaker 1: all of your cards away, you know, like you can't
Speaker 1: because again, like you are dating multiple people at that point.
Speaker 1: But now, like you just said, you are in public
Speaker 1: like he is yours. Now you can shout it from
Speaker 1: the rooftops. It's just this is where your true story begins.
Speaker 1: But it's not easy. And going back to when you
Speaker 1: said you know you had to be open to every relationship,
Speaker 1: I think that that just solidifies how you now feel
Speaker 1: for Nate because you went through every relationship, you had
Speaker 1: the what ifs, you asked, all the questions, you got
Speaker 1: to the very end to know, Okay, who can I
Speaker 1: not live without? Who can I not picture leaving here
Speaker 1: without this? Whatever man is by my side, and it
Speaker 1: of course is Nat And I think that's so important,
Speaker 1: And you been such I would say, a solid foundation
Speaker 1: for Nate to feel open, and you know it's not
Speaker 1: always easy expressing everything we're feeling and all of these
Speaker 1: crazy emotions that are basically on a roller coaster through
Speaker 1: each season. So Nate, I want to ask you, because
Speaker 1: if Michelle has been very vocal about where she's at
Speaker 1: in your relationship, how she's feeling, and trying to get
Speaker 1: the right questions from you answered. So last night we
Speaker 1: saw your final date between the two of you was
Speaker 1: with the Shaman, and you know you struggled a bit.
Speaker 1: I think it was maybe uncomfortable to completely open up,
Speaker 1: especially in front of a stranger. I totally get it,
Speaker 1: and I would have laughed. I would have felt uncomfortable too,
Speaker 1: So I totally understand how you were probably feeling in
Speaker 1: that moment. So and so you were finally able to
Speaker 1: open up more towards the evening with Michelle about where
Speaker 1: you were at and give her the reassurance that she
Speaker 1: was looking for in that moment. So what was it
Speaker 1: about her that helped you finally let your guard down
Speaker 1: and be fully vulnerable and get to the point on
Speaker 1: that last day where you both were able to say
Speaker 1: yes to an engagement. Yeah. Um, honestly, I think, like
Speaker 1: I think for me, it's like I I just don't
Speaker 1: know how to properly. I just just I don't think it, Honestly.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a bad thing about me. Everybody
Speaker 1: has their own like opinions, but like when it comes
Speaker 1: to like moments like that of trying to express yourself
Speaker 1: and you know, especially just you know, I don't know, Um,
Speaker 1: it's hard for me to like really get into expressing myself.
Speaker 1: You know, for whatever teach their ow and everybody everybody,
Speaker 1: you know, some people are really good at baking cakes
Speaker 1: and some people can't bake. For I express myself those
Speaker 1: type of environments like you know, Um, but I tried
Speaker 1: my best. You know, I tried my best, and I
Speaker 1: think at the end of the day, like my um
Speaker 1: how I felt came out clear enough for Michelle to
Speaker 1: understand in that moment exactly where I was. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: I think I think Michelle knows now you know that
Speaker 1: we left that bubble that I'm much better at expressing
Speaker 1: myself when there isn't a lot of weird things going on,
Speaker 1: and there isn't play and smoke being blown in your
Speaker 1: face and the shaman and twenty people watching behind the cameras. Yes,
Speaker 1: I think, Um, when I have time to fully understand,
Speaker 1: like or fully get how I feel inside down on
Speaker 1: a piece of paper, Um, that's where I really shine.
Speaker 1: Because if it's just right there in the moment and
Speaker 1: there's everything's going on and you want to tell you
Speaker 1: like you know, like hey, how do how exactly do
Speaker 1: you feel about this? It's like okay, like let me
Speaker 1: like have some time to really like I don't want
Speaker 1: to misspeak, you know what I mean? So like one
Speaker 1: thing that I do, it really enjoys like letting Michelle
Speaker 1: know all the time how I feel so I am
Speaker 1: like a love letter type individual, right. Michelle has received
Speaker 1: a few of those, and I think it's just a testament.
Speaker 1: It's like people feel comfortable in different settings, and by
Speaker 1: no means is having cameras in your face, catching every conversation,
Speaker 1: every kiss easy. And that's why I mean, I will
Speaker 1: say that you did have the best person by your
Speaker 1: side in Michelle to kind of pull that out of you.
Speaker 1: But now now is the time, like now is where
Speaker 1: your story actually begins as a couple and you can
Speaker 1: and I'm sure you've already done this in your happy
Speaker 1: couple weekends when you spend time together. Is now this
Speaker 1: is when you can really have those conversations away from
Speaker 1: everyone else, the things that are important to both of
Speaker 1: you to ask to answer. And I trust both of
Speaker 1: you and I know that you've probably gotten there, and
Speaker 1: you'll have so much more time now to be able
Speaker 1: to feel comfortable and open up in those safe spaces
Speaker 1: away from all of our prying eyes and ears. Exactly.
Speaker 1: I mean the first time that Michelle and I said
Speaker 1: that we loved each other, that we were falling in
Speaker 1: love with each other, that we were falling for each other,
Speaker 1: we did all that the best we could to be
Speaker 1: off camera, you know, like we I remember the first
Speaker 1: time I told her that I loved her, there was
Speaker 1: like a lot of noise going on and the camera
Speaker 1: wasn't pointed at us. So I was like, this is
Speaker 1: a perfect opportunity, Like I told her, like, I do
Speaker 1: not want the first time I tell you this to
Speaker 1: be shared with anybody but you. I don't need America
Speaker 1: to see me saying this for the first time. So
Speaker 1: like there's there's so much stuff going on in the background,
Speaker 1: and I noticed that there's no camera on us. I
Speaker 1: was like, I need you to know that I genuinely
Speaker 1: love you. Obviously, I know that this is a television
Speaker 1: show and it is for entertainment, but like, my feelings
Speaker 1: aren't entertainment. My feelings aren't just this thing for people
Speaker 1: to watch, right, So that's why it was really important
Speaker 1: for me that every single like the first time that
Speaker 1: Michelle hears me say I love you, and the first
Speaker 1: time that Michelle's hears that I'm falling in love with you,
Speaker 1: I want that to be between you and me only
Speaker 1: like the very first time, the second, third, thousand times. Sure,
Speaker 1: let the rest of the world that, but the first time,
Speaker 1: I only want you to hear that, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. So like that's when I would like wait
Speaker 1: to wait for that small little moment where there's not
Speaker 1: a camera on us and that there's a lot of
Speaker 1: people talking in between, like what we're doing, activities on
Speaker 1: on on different dates and whatnot for me to like
Speaker 1: say like teller, like I just want you to hear this,
Speaker 1: and like this is the first time I'm telling you
Speaker 1: this time I generally love you or I'm genuinely falling
Speaker 1: in love with you, because that's not that's not anybody
Speaker 1: else else's business. For the first time I say something
Speaker 1: like that, that's for me and you you know, so um,
Speaker 1: and it was just like it was first Yes it
Speaker 1: was the first time you're saying it to me, but
Speaker 1: it was the first time you're saying it. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't. Yeah. I hope hopefully that's you know, doesn't
Speaker 1: come across weird or anything like that. But like I
Speaker 1: know that this this is for entertainment, but like to
Speaker 1: a certain point, like this this is so my feelings,
Speaker 1: Like this is somebody that wants to the rest of
Speaker 1: my life with and I don't need that to be
Speaker 1: people's entertainment. I need that to be for you and
Speaker 1: I you know, I respect that. I think the hell
Speaker 1: about that so much, and I want you, I want
Speaker 1: you to hold on to that as I feel like
Speaker 1: as much as it's exciting and it's so fun to
Speaker 1: share it with everyone and we all are rooting for you,
Speaker 1: we all want to like kind of like, you know,
Speaker 1: put our advice to help everybody like flourish in the
Speaker 1: situation like it's between you two, and I just really
Speaker 1: want you guys to remember that and hold on to
Speaker 1: that because it gets loud. It gets real damn loud,
Speaker 1: but at the same time, like it's just like when you're, well,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you a dignity. I was gonna say
Speaker 1: it's when you're playing a basketball game, but but it
Speaker 1: just gets really loud in the stands and you're like
Speaker 1: there's so much like noise going on. But you have
Speaker 1: to be like centered in yourself and like talk, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like give yourself a pump up,
Speaker 1: and you two need to just have these conversations behind
Speaker 1: closed doors and remember what you fell in love with
Speaker 1: and why you guys are together, and that'll make all
Speaker 1: of this, all of this so much more worth it
Speaker 1: and so many more happy memories. Like it's just that's
Speaker 1: what this is all about, not all of our little opinions,
Speaker 1: you know, obviously, you know, we want to include people
Speaker 1: and we want you know, like it is. It is
Speaker 1: this amazing thing to be able to to showcase like
Speaker 1: these relationships and falling in love and yeah, but it
Speaker 1: is really nice to have that private moment and I
Speaker 1: think Nate and I will definitely continue to do that
Speaker 1: where there's a moment that we have to step back
Speaker 1: and be like, okay, like let's just be humans together.
Speaker 1: And they kind of explain it as there are times
Speaker 1: where you do you do feel like you're in like
Speaker 1: a zoo exhibit where everybody's constantly, like you know, watching
Speaker 1: everything you're doing and wanting to take pictures and they
Speaker 1: forget that you're human. And in that moment when Nate
Speaker 1: was able to do that, it was like, I, you know,
Speaker 1: I was a bachelorette and there's a lot that comes
Speaker 1: with that, but to be able to have that private
Speaker 1: moment was actually just really special for me. It's always
Speaker 1: a good thing to set boundaries and if there's any
Speaker 1: advice that we could give you at this point in time,
Speaker 1: it's okay to step aside and not be in this
Speaker 1: quote unquote bachelorette and contestant role, Like you will need
Speaker 1: to say no to people at times. You will need to,
Speaker 1: you know, have your private moments when you're still in
Speaker 1: public and just focus on the two of you, And
Speaker 1: that's totally okay. One thing, and this is actually something
Speaker 1: that he should touched on a couple of weeks ago
Speaker 1: with Rodney and your final four. But you two have
Speaker 1: made history within this franchise and it's such an incredible
Speaker 1: moment for you too, because you truly are the first
Speaker 1: couple of color to come from the Bachelor or the Bachelorrette.
Speaker 1: And so how does that feel for both of you?
Speaker 1: It's about time, Yeah, I mean it is a very
Speaker 1: cool thing for that to be to be shown. And
Speaker 1: I think with that is just I mean, Nate and
Speaker 1: I have have always been like goal setter. As we
Speaker 1: talked about that, I have always been a goal setter
Speaker 1: um when he's when he came in and our conversations
Speaker 1: that we had, like we definitely really align with that um.
Speaker 1: And so it's been cool to be a part of
Speaker 1: this experience intimate history in this way, um, but yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's just kind of a trampoline for us with
Speaker 1: all we're gonna do night. No, I agree back maybe,
Speaker 1: Hey Nate, Michelle, one thing you've said since the beginning
Speaker 1: is you want to change the world, and I think
Speaker 1: so many, especially young younger people, younger I don't want
Speaker 1: to say kids, but just the younger generation watching this
Speaker 1: can now see you two and this this successful love
Speaker 1: story from the franchise and the first time that this
Speaker 1: has happened on a batcherette season, and it's so incredible
Speaker 1: and you know, taking it back to Rachel Lindsay season,
Speaker 1: this is why she signed up to be the Bachelorette
Speaker 1: years ago, is because she hoped she would pave the
Speaker 1: way for young women and men people of color to
Speaker 1: join the franchise and to you know, depict these real
Speaker 1: life love stories. And I think that's so important. So
Speaker 1: this is just a small baby step in how I'm
Speaker 1: sure you both will change the world. But I can't
Speaker 1: wait to see you too do it together. One thing
Speaker 1: I want to say before aletatia aside question is just you.
Speaker 1: You seem so up and this is a compliment. You
Speaker 1: seem so calm and just grounded with each other. It's
Speaker 1: of course such an exciting time for you both, but
Speaker 1: you both just have this content I would say, ease
Speaker 1: with one another. That's really great to see. I mean,
Speaker 1: don't let this flu you. But no, it comes down
Speaker 1: to what it really did. Like this, there's a lot
Speaker 1: to deal with, there's a lot to navigate through, and
Speaker 1: it's like we both have our moments where we like
Speaker 1: where he struggles, where I struggle, and then we both
Speaker 1: struggle at the same time, and then we figure out
Speaker 1: a way through it. Um. But definitely I use planes.
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean we literally, uh like how we
Speaker 1: spent our time during the Fantasy Suits the overnights, was
Speaker 1: sitting criss cross album sauce in bed and just talked
Speaker 1: for like five six seven hours, like just not so
Speaker 1: talk like super aggies, like we're just kicking. I just
Speaker 1: had a good time. Um. And that that definitely is
Speaker 1: a good way to sum up how I feel when
Speaker 1: I am with Michelle is just you know, I'm just
Speaker 1: I'm just with my person. You know, I'm just with
Speaker 1: my first time uncomfortable. We're just your guys are giving
Speaker 1: me the chills over No. I mean, I have to
Speaker 1: say at least you guys have you know, started the
Speaker 1: relationship off with the firm foundation that you guys know
Speaker 1: that you love each other. So that's all that matters.
Speaker 1: But how are you going to spend the holidays? I
Speaker 1: want to know you guys are making your memories. Christmas
Speaker 1: is coming up, New Year's is coming up. Nate, you
Speaker 1: better get some mistletoe. You got a cute girl to kids,
Speaker 1: and Michelle's gold probably to jump up there and get you.
Speaker 1: But how are you guys gonna sit in the holidays? Um?
Speaker 1: Our family, So we'll be with my family to start off,
Speaker 1: and then we'll be driving into Winnipeg to visit his dad,
Speaker 1: his sisters to mean I for the first time. I'm
Speaker 1: so excited. Get ready for the waterworks. Oh my gosh. Well,
Speaker 1: and then his mom Charles are going to come back
Speaker 1: to Minnesota spend some time with both Nate and I
Speaker 1: and my family. So we're gonna bring the families together,
Speaker 1: uh yeah, yeah, you know, and then next Christmas it
Speaker 1: will definitely I can see all this being together in
Speaker 1: the same room. This year, with travel and with COVID
Speaker 1: and everything, we definitely have to you know, travel to
Speaker 1: see you know, families in different areas. But yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: just I'm happy that we are going to get some
Speaker 1: time with both of our families together. Okay, driving distance
Speaker 1: isn't bad. That's that's amazing actually that you guys are
Speaker 1: able to do that. Seriously, it really all worked out
Speaker 1: for the best. Really, didn't you another like pro to
Speaker 1: to moving to Minnesota? It really is just a seven
Speaker 1: hour drive, you know, quick one hour flight, you got it.
Speaker 1: So I hate to be this person. I remember cringing
Speaker 1: every time I was asked this, right when I was
Speaker 1: newly engaged in don't do it. I have to I
Speaker 1: have to do I have to be the first person
Speaker 1: to ask this for anyone else, because they are a
Speaker 1: first interview any wedding plans, any dates, any ideas anything.
Speaker 1: Told me later, Yeah, summertime, um, and we are going
Speaker 1: to leave it at that summertime. Just okay, but in
Speaker 1: the next year. Hey, this is more than most couples
Speaker 1: of every day know and give us. So this is good,
Speaker 1: this is gold. This is what I wanted. Absolutely told
Speaker 1: me later for asking that again. He was a person like,
Speaker 1: so when do you want to start talking about dates?
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, keeper, Nate, you are just
Speaker 1: I'm very proud of you. I am too. I am too, Nate.
Speaker 1: I will say last week on the podcast, I was
Speaker 1: a little hesitant because of the whole you know, you've
Speaker 1: never been in love before. But I am eating my
Speaker 1: words now and again. I trust Michelle, and just seeing
Speaker 1: you too, talking with the both of you together just
Speaker 1: reassures me. And it just this is such a good period.
Speaker 1: I get it now. It totally fits, and I'm so
Speaker 1: happy for you both. Many double dates to come. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say that, I'm going to manifest that now. Wait,
Speaker 1: I want to say, Wheel, that's so rude. I'm here,
Speaker 1: I don't. Well, we will, we will triple date. We
Speaker 1: will find a nice Minnesotan man for you. But listen,
Speaker 1: I just okay, we'll we'll talk about so aside from
Speaker 1: all of that, you know, before we start getting into
Speaker 1: the game and have some fun with you both. Um,
Speaker 1: I want to ask you what the rose and thorn
Speaker 1: of this entire experience was for each of you. Who
Speaker 1: wants to go first? Okay, my rose would definitely have
Speaker 1: to be meeting a person that I had no idea
Speaker 1: that any like man like him existed when like but
Speaker 1: when it really though when it comes to like intellectual setting,
Speaker 1: just supporting and how do you want, you know, your
Speaker 1: partner to be in a relationship. But then also like
Speaker 1: showing me all these new things that I've truly come
Speaker 1: to like love and enjoy. So I feel like he
Speaker 1: just takes me as I am, you know, whether I mean,
Speaker 1: I had this really bad habit of like getting out
Speaker 1: of the shower without drying off. The whole bathroom is soaked,
Speaker 1: and to the point where like he slipped before, my
Speaker 1: mom has slipped, Like I've gotten grounded for it in
Speaker 1: the past because it's been like thing to do and
Speaker 1: I have places to be, Okay, so I get out
Speaker 1: and I you know, I've noticed, like he's like, you
Speaker 1: get the like why is the bathroom always soaked? And
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm sorry, Like I'll work on it. I
Speaker 1: know that I've made a lot of people mad with it,
Speaker 1: and he's like no, no, no, He's like, leave it.
Speaker 1: I love it because it's your flaw, and I just
Speaker 1: love it. It's because because you do it. So he
Speaker 1: just he truly accepts me. And that's that's my rose
Speaker 1: m my Thorn would probably have to be just like
Speaker 1: honestly just navigating through all of this, all these different things,
Speaker 1: and so many of the moments you know, where you
Speaker 1: really do fall in love and with everything how the
Speaker 1: edit goes, and it's not like obviously all of that
Speaker 1: isn't shown or can't be shown or wasn't shown. And
Speaker 1: so I think that was the hardest part at times,
Speaker 1: is because you know, but those are memories for us.
Speaker 1: For me, I would have to say the rose is
Speaker 1: I mean one hundred percent just falling for the first time,
Speaker 1: really really being able to um experience what this is like,
Speaker 1: and and and feeling just like just so lucky, right,
Speaker 1: Like I don't I truly feel like I felt the person.
Speaker 1: I wow, I truly feel like I've met the person
Speaker 1: for me. Um. And I'm seven years old, you know,
Speaker 1: I got the rest of my life to really like
Speaker 1: just continue having this this once in a lifetime type
Speaker 1: of experience type of love. UM. And I'm you know,
Speaker 1: it's just it really is beautiful, right, it really is beautiful. UM.
Speaker 1: So I'm really happy about that. UM. And then for
Speaker 1: the Thorn, UM, I mean, it has it has been difficult.
Speaker 1: I was just kind of watching this season play back,
Speaker 1: UM and and and at the end of the day.
Speaker 1: I understand that that this is a television show for entertainment,
Speaker 1: and that, um, you know, people have like this, this
Speaker 1: is people's jobs right to edit the show and tell
Speaker 1: the story that they wanted that they want to tell.
Speaker 1: So that that was a little frustrating at times. Um.
Speaker 1: And and to be questioned too, Um, it is never fun,
Speaker 1: you know. I don't. I don't really like being questioned.
Speaker 1: I kind of kind of lead my life to make
Speaker 1: sure that I don't get questions too too often, and
Speaker 1: so it does kind of sucks to be questions so
Speaker 1: um publicly. But hey, at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: my rose, my rose, what was it, the rose in
Speaker 1: the thorn? Yeah, my rose definitely out weighs my thorn.
Speaker 1: So you know, I can't I can't be Um, I
Speaker 1: can't be disappointed for too long, right, I have Michelle,
Speaker 1: So I'm not. I was just gonna say at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, like, if you guys have anything,
Speaker 1: you guys just you have you found true love and
Speaker 1: like at aside from all of that, I feel like
Speaker 1: it is really difficult. It's really difficult to put yourself
Speaker 1: out there. Um. Michelle and I even talked about it,
Speaker 1: like definitely going to it wholeheartedly, like challenge yourself, make
Speaker 1: sure you feel all the feels about the end of
Speaker 1: the day, like she knows that she want to do
Speaker 1: and you wanted her and that's all you guys need.
Speaker 1: So it's difficult, Believe me, I understand that I have
Speaker 1: definitely been there, and that's what I was trying to
Speaker 1: tell you guys earlier. It doesn't necessarily get easier with
Speaker 1: all of the noise, but that's why you guys have
Speaker 1: to keep yourself grounded and with each other and really
Speaker 1: just keep relying on each other. You have all of us,
Speaker 1: you have me, you have all the other bachelorettes to
Speaker 1: always come ask for help, and you've got this. You
Speaker 1: absolutely do got this, and at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: this makes you ten times stronger. But when you get
Speaker 1: through all of this, you'll have all this look back
Speaker 1: on and know that you guys freaking did it and
Speaker 1: you're stronger than ever. So Roses and Thorn's hey, you
Speaker 1: gotta have them both. But I have to say, you
Speaker 1: guys are such a beacon of light together. I think
Speaker 1: you guys radiate positivity and I can absolutely see that
Speaker 1: you guys are going to be a power couple, a
Speaker 1: force to be reckoned with. And I cannot wait to
Speaker 1: just watch and see what you guys do in life.
Speaker 1: So I have a quick game for us all to play.
Speaker 1: I really want to put you guys to the Chestis
Speaker 1: are gonna be very difficult, Okay, very difficult. I hope
Speaker 1: you guys know each other very well. It's called the
Speaker 1: newly engaged game? Are you do you? Okay? Who is
Speaker 1: the funniest? Why do you know? Okay? I don't Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't know, because I would say we sit and
Speaker 1: we are rolling laughing all the time. Okay, that's fair,
