Speaker 1: Hey, everyone, welcome back to Beat your Happy Hour. I'm
Speaker 1: Joe and I'm Serena and we are here with Lexi
Speaker 1: from Joey Sincy. Hi Lexi, Hi Lexi.
Speaker 2: Hey guys, your hair looks so good. You get it
Speaker 2: done recently?
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 4: Yes, I actually just got it done when I came back.
Speaker 4: I talked about this on my Instagram. But I had
Speaker 4: a bit of a hair fiasco when I was in
Speaker 4: the mansion. Some reason my hair turned red, which you know,
Speaker 4: we love redheads, but like it was two red stripes
Speaker 4: at the front. So when I was on the show,
Speaker 4: luckily Jess had men's beard dye for her eyebrows and
Speaker 4: let me use it to color correct. So my hair
Speaker 4: is a lot darker on the show than it is usually.
Speaker 4: But it's a funny story.
Speaker 2: So I just went, oh, my god, use men's I
Speaker 2: didn't know. I have friends that dye their eyebrows, and
Speaker 2: usually they just use boxed hair dye. I've never heard
Speaker 2: of anyone using beard dye.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just for men.
Speaker 2: But I guess that would make sense because it is
Speaker 2: like hair on your face.
Speaker 3: Right right. So God blessed Jess for having that, and
Speaker 3: it was like dark, dark brown it's a funny story.
Speaker 2: Wait, why so I've heard of I've had friends who
Speaker 2: have gone blonde and then like hard water will make
Speaker 2: it look green. But I've never Are you a natural redhead?
Speaker 2: Was it like stripping your eyelights?
Speaker 3: Something was happening.
Speaker 4: I'm naturally pretty dark brown, so I think it was
Speaker 4: just like getting the highlights right before the show and
Speaker 4: then using the water out there.
Speaker 3: Or maybe I don't know. Something something happens that's good.
Speaker 2: Crazy, I would be freaking out. I can't beieve they
Speaker 2: couldn't get you like boxed hair dyed.
Speaker 3: You know it's a they tried their best.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well you had the beard dye, thank god?
Speaker 3: So thank god.
Speaker 1: You know my beard actually used to come in a
Speaker 1: little red. What Yeah, no, it does it now I
Speaker 1: have Now they come in Now they come in gray
Speaker 1: on my chant.
Speaker 2: Ottle salt and peppery. Yeah, well maybe you should head
Speaker 2: of Jess for her box beard died.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I would die my beard. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't keep it long enough to die it.
Speaker 2: I feel like you have to have a significant amount
Speaker 2: of hair to be dying. Like I feel like it's
Speaker 2: for people who have a full beard.
Speaker 1: Why are you coming right now?
Speaker 2: What are you talking about coming? You say, I think
Speaker 2: it's people who have like a full gray beard. I
Speaker 2: want to dye it brown. So that's not great.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just I'm going to lean into the salt
Speaker 1: and pepper.
Speaker 2: You should you lean in cult public and Lexi, you
Speaker 2: can stay away from you.
Speaker 1: Isn't about me though, Solexi, where do you live?
Speaker 3: I currently am in Atlanta, Georgia, col.
Speaker 1: And you you said on on one of these episodes
Speaker 1: that you moved to San Francisco for work and then
Speaker 1: you moved to New York. So what do you do
Speaker 1: and what what happened there?
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I've I've lived all over actually originally from Toronto.
Speaker 3: But I Toronto, I had to say, and I had
Speaker 3: to say it too Ontario.
Speaker 2: Oh nice.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So my family's all up there, my extended family,
Speaker 4: but we ultimately moved down to the States for my
Speaker 4: dad's job. So I ended up in Ohio for a
Speaker 4: while and then yeah, after school, moved out to San
Speaker 4: Francisco for work. I worked at the Gap when I
Speaker 4: was out there, but I work in digital marketing and
Speaker 4: digital strategy, so I work on their websites. I came
Speaker 4: down with a lot of illness when I was in
Speaker 4: San Francisco with my health and so ultimately made the
Speaker 4: decision to move back to New York to be closer
Speaker 4: to my family. And GAP also had a headquarters in
Speaker 4: New York, so it just made sense at the time.
Speaker 4: So yeah, that's how I ended up in the city.
Speaker 1: And do you still work for GAP now?
Speaker 3: I don't work for GAP now.
Speaker 4: I work for another large retail company in Atlanta doing
Speaker 4: the same type of work.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Do you like Atlanta?
Speaker 3: I like Atlanta.
Speaker 4: It was a huge culture shock moving down here, like
Speaker 4: being originally from Canada and then living on both coasts.
Speaker 4: Moving to Atlanta was kind of crazy. It's super southern obviously,
Speaker 4: and then like everyone here gets married at like twenty two,
Speaker 4: so I was this like black sheet moving down here
Speaker 4: single at like twenty nine. So I like it, but
Speaker 4: it's different.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that San Francisco has an exact opposite, it makes
Speaker 1: me exact opposite. Literally, Yeah really might Okay? Cool? And
Speaker 1: how did you How did you get on The Bachelor?
Speaker 4: It's a bit of a long story, but long story short,
Speaker 4: I was originally supposed to go on and went through
Speaker 4: the casting process for Peter season.
Speaker 2: And so wow a few years.
Speaker 4: Yeah, which when I look back, I wouldn't have been
Speaker 4: ready to do that at that point in my life
Speaker 4: and age.
Speaker 3: So I'm so glad it happened when it did.
Speaker 4: But I had just had my endometriosis surgery, so it
Speaker 4: wasn't the right time for me with filming. And then
Speaker 4: I got in contact with a producer and they told
Speaker 4: me it was going to be Joey and I was like,
Speaker 4: this is so serendipitous, and I think he's such a
Speaker 4: great guy. I just turned thirty, like why not. So
Speaker 4: it's kind of crazy that Peter to Joey, like it's
Speaker 4: I don't know. The whole thing was very full circle, that.
Speaker 2: Is you hear you hear some stories like that, Like
Speaker 2: I think Caitlin Bristow was also something that was like
Speaker 2: in casting for someone's season, we had like almost on
Speaker 2: the show and then something happened or like she didn't
Speaker 2: get on and then gets onto another season. I just
Speaker 2: feel like it always falls the way it's supposed to exactly.
Speaker 1: I want to pronounce this correctly, so I don't son
Speaker 1: a fucking war on.
Speaker 2: But you could do it. I could do it.
Speaker 1: I could do this, okay, So when you talk about
Speaker 1: your endometriosis.
Speaker 3: You could say and I could just call it endo
Speaker 3: ye ye Okay.
Speaker 1: I love that, Okay, So not that I don't love it.
Speaker 1: But so when you had your ENDO surgery, how old
Speaker 1: were you?
Speaker 4: I had my surgery in twenty nineteen, so I just
Speaker 4: turned thirty. So yeah, I would have been twenty five
Speaker 4: twenty six, And so that was a time period for
Speaker 4: me that was crazy and like I said going on
Speaker 4: the show, it wouldn't have been possible, but so grateful
Speaker 4: that I did have the surgery when I was living
Speaker 4: in New York.
Speaker 2: What was the process like, because I know you said
Speaker 2: it took about a year and a half to have
Speaker 2: it diagnosed, which correct me wrong, but I believe that's
Speaker 2: not totally uncommon.
Speaker 3: No, you're yeah, you're exactly right. So really it was
Speaker 3: ten years of me like in pain and not knowing
Speaker 3: what was going on with my body. And then things
Speaker 3: got a lot worse when like the back half of
Speaker 3: San Francisco and when I moved to New York and
Speaker 3: I just started going to so many different doctors appointments,
Speaker 3: and like I was diagnosed with things I didn't even have,
Speaker 3: Like I was diagnosed with autoimmune disorders and taking medications
Speaker 3: for them, and I didn't have it, and I was
Speaker 3: turned away from that, so so crazy.
Speaker 4: Like women, on average, it takes ten years to get
Speaker 4: a diagnosis, per end of so like that's that was
Speaker 4: my timeline and it's so sad to hear that. And
Speaker 4: a lot of the times doctors will turn you to
Speaker 4: like a psychiatrist or almost make you believe that your
Speaker 4: pain is in your head because it has to be
Speaker 4: diagnosed surgically. So it's that even adds another like of
Speaker 4: complexity to get a diagnosis. So for me, it was
Speaker 4: a lot of being like turned away kind of given
Speaker 4: medication to treat me for something I didn't have. And
Speaker 4: then I even started to doubt my pain and I
Speaker 4: was like, is this even real?
Speaker 3: Is this something in my head? Just because I was
Speaker 3: shut down so many times.
Speaker 2: That's so frustrating and it's just so scary that you
Speaker 2: know you have to wait ten years to get diagnosial
Speaker 2: something that you're probably like, I could have been treating
Speaker 2: this ten years earlier. I can imagine too. By the
Speaker 2: time the surgery option comes around, It's like, on one hand,
Speaker 2: you're like, I'll do anything to figure out what's going
Speaker 2: on with me. But on the another you're probably like,
Speaker 2: I've had so many inaccurate diagnoses that diagnoses diagnosisis not diagnoses,
Speaker 2: you know what I meant, but that it's like, is
Speaker 2: this just going to be another dead end? Like it's
Speaker 2: it's got It must have been so emotionally and physically
Speaker 2: draining for you.
Speaker 3: It was.
Speaker 4: I remember walking into NYU that day, because you don't
Speaker 4: know until you wake up from the surgery if you
Speaker 4: have it or not, and I remember thinking do I
Speaker 4: want to have this or do I not? Like do
Speaker 4: you like it's a weird thing because like I've gone
Speaker 4: through ten years of pain and multiple years of going
Speaker 4: to appointments, and I felt like I finally kind of
Speaker 4: had an answer. This doctor had a really strong hunch
Speaker 4: I had it. But then I was like, wait a second,
Speaker 4: the reality of actually having it is a whole other
Speaker 4: thing to deal with, So I didn't. I didn't really
Speaker 4: even know how to feel, like am I going to
Speaker 4: be happy after this? Like if I go through the
Speaker 4: surgery and I don't have it, I'm just at another
Speaker 4: dead end.
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's really it plays with your mind.
Speaker 2: What has your journey like has. What has your journey
Speaker 2: been like since being diagnosed.
Speaker 3: It's it's been an uphill battle.
Speaker 4: If I'm being honest, I have, you know, good weeks
Speaker 4: and I have really bad weeks. I've been on so
Speaker 4: many different medications to try to get it into a
Speaker 4: place where it's controllable. I am at the point right
Speaker 4: now where they want me to have a second surgery.
Speaker 4: A lot of time women have two or three, but
Speaker 4: because I'm thirty, they want me to have it as
Speaker 4: close as possible to when I want to conceive. And
Speaker 4: the reason for that is because they go in and
Speaker 4: clean up all that tissue that's not supposed to be there,
Speaker 4: so it puts you in like an optimal state to
Speaker 4: have a child. That is really hard for me because
Speaker 4: the only solve is something I can't even do at
Speaker 4: this moment in time. And the reason they don't want
Speaker 4: you to have too many surgeries is because they cause
Speaker 4: a lot of scar tissue. And so just right now,
Speaker 4: I kind of feel like I'm being pushed into a
Speaker 4: corner of just having to power through the pain and
Speaker 4: make the most of it.
Speaker 3: But uh, it is challenging.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's got to be such a hard decision because
Speaker 2: you're really I'm assuming like you're probably advised by doctors,
Speaker 2: but you have to probably make the decision evidably if
Speaker 2: you're going to have the surgery and then potentially you
Speaker 2: just have to have another surgery when you are ready
Speaker 2: to have children, or if you're going to power through
Speaker 2: the pain so that you don't have to have as
Speaker 2: many surgeries. Like, there's not a clear right answer there.
Speaker 3: There's not, And I just froze my eggs.
Speaker 4: Actually I had the surgery for that a few weeks
Speaker 4: before I went on the show, which, thank you, that
Speaker 4: came with a lot of its own issues, but that
Speaker 4: I'm trying my best to do everything I can to
Speaker 4: become a mother.
Speaker 3: That's what I've wanted my whole life. But yeah, you're
Speaker 3: exactly right.
Speaker 1: Do you feel like the medical field now today, in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four is better detecting this opposed to ten
Speaker 1: years ago. Are we kind of in the same place
Speaker 1: of it's still very hard for it to get be
Speaker 1: detected in women? Yeah, it's still going through that.
Speaker 3: That's a great question.
Speaker 4: I would like to say that I would like to
Speaker 4: say the diagnosis process has gotten better.
Speaker 3: I don't think it has.
Speaker 4: I think what's gotten better is the technology to.
Speaker 3: Like an MRI.
Speaker 4: Now you can have where they can see if there's abnormalities.
Speaker 4: It can't diagnose it, but it can at least point
Speaker 4: in the direction that you might have something going on there,
Speaker 4: which gives woman more confidence to have a surgery. However,
Speaker 4: I still think like it's so I've posted on Instagram
Speaker 4: about my experience and I got I think almost like
Speaker 4: a thousand messages from women saying to me that I've
Speaker 4: had the exact same experience. I'm currently in the process
Speaker 4: of fighting for a diagnosis, Like I've gone to ten
Speaker 4: plus appointments. No one's taking me seriously, so it's not
Speaker 4: spoken about enough, and I don't I really don't think
Speaker 4: it's changed that much, which is disheartening.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like, and I mean this is not endo,
Speaker 2: but I someone in my life has PCOS and they
Speaker 2: had a similar experience, where like there's a lot of
Speaker 2: women's health issues. I feel like that the story is
Speaker 2: connected to where it's like, it took me years for
Speaker 2: someone to finally diagnose me with this, and I was
Speaker 2: doing treatments that were actually like harming what I was
Speaker 2: like actually had and yes, yeah.
Speaker 4: Yes, I went through bladder installations, which is I don't
Speaker 4: need to get into the whole thing, but where they
Speaker 4: like put like an acidic thing like.
Speaker 3: Through your urethruck it.
Speaker 4: I was crying, screaming and pain because they thought I
Speaker 4: had a condition with my bladder, and like, I have
Speaker 4: nothing wrong with my bladder. And like the fact I
Speaker 4: went through that for six months, Like it's traumatic to me.
Speaker 3: So I have a lot of crazy Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's just like the fact that doctor did it,
Speaker 4: like all of the above, it's it's scary.
Speaker 2: Yeah, a major flaw. Yeah, how does it affect you
Speaker 2: on a day to day scale?
Speaker 3: On a day to day scale, like it's so unpredictable.
Speaker 4: Some days I'll have flares and like I'll look four
Speaker 4: or five months pregnant from like swelling. Some days I'll
Speaker 4: have horrible or back pain. I mean, it hits me
Speaker 4: out of nowhere. I've become really good at managing it. So,
Speaker 4: I mean, I work a really demanding job, like I'm
Speaker 4: sitting at a desk all day. So I'm not going
Speaker 4: to lie like it comes with its challenges and I
Speaker 4: don't probably live the exact same life as someone who
Speaker 4: wouldn't be dealing with this, But I've gotten to a
Speaker 4: place now where, like I'm so strong mentally that I
Speaker 4: just pushed through. I like take really good care of
Speaker 4: my health. That helps to a degree, but it's one
Speaker 4: of those things that's it's never leaving my life. There's
Speaker 4: no cure, and so I've just learned how to like
Speaker 4: have a better attitude about it and like make the
Speaker 4: most of every day even though I have a little
Speaker 4: bit of a handicap.
Speaker 2: Is Stage five the most severe stage.
Speaker 4: So I actually so there's technically four stages of endo,
Speaker 4: and on the show, I said five, it's four and
Speaker 4: five are like five is kind of a new stage
Speaker 4: that they're talking about. For me, I had endo growing
Speaker 4: on my lung and so since it spread to like
Speaker 4: an organ outside of my pelvis, I'm kind of four
Speaker 4: or five. Stage four is technically the most severe phase
Speaker 4: within your pelvis, and that just means that, like there's
Speaker 4: a lot of adhesion, so like your uterus could be
Speaker 4: attached to both ovaries. There's a lot of large thiss
Speaker 4: and so even I like to preface though someone with
Speaker 4: stage one could have equal pain as someone as stage four,
Speaker 4: it's just how much the actual tissue has spread. It
Speaker 4: doesn't mean that you're like in more pain or life
Speaker 4: pain at a different stage.
Speaker 1: But if it gets detected at stage one, is it
Speaker 1: curable or is it like.
Speaker 3: It's it's not.
Speaker 4: But I do think you could take actions with like
Speaker 4: certain hormones and getting ahead of your surgery.
Speaker 3: Like for me, when they went in, it was so bad.
Speaker 4: Like I think if they had gone in maybe three
Speaker 4: years prior, like it wouldn't maybe have spread to my lung,
Speaker 4: Like maybe I wouldn't have had so many adhesions.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, which, like that's another layer to it, I'm
Speaker 2: sure is like the fact that it takes so long
Speaker 2: means that it ends up being so much more severe
Speaker 2: in the women when it does get detected. Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 2: it's so frustrating. Okay, so yeah you get on the show.
Speaker 2: We lost track, but I'm glad we're talking about this.
Speaker 2: Obviously it was a big part of your one on
Speaker 2: one day, which we will touch on as well in
Speaker 2: this podcast and just talk more about you know, what
Speaker 2: it was like opening up to Joey about do you
Speaker 2: refer to it as a condition in what how do
Speaker 2: you do it?
Speaker 4: I always say, yeah, a condition disease. I think for
Speaker 4: me it's just something I deal with every day. But yeah,
Speaker 4: I opened up to him about my condition and how
Speaker 4: it impacts me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, gotcha. Okay, Well let's do I want?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you step out of the limo, How you feeling,
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts? What do you think about Joey
Speaker 1: is your type?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I was so nervous obviously that whole day leading up
Speaker 4: to it, But when I stepped at the limo, I
Speaker 4: felt I know, it sounds so cheesy, but like I
Speaker 4: did feel immediately at ease because he has such a
Speaker 4: chill personality and like demeanor that as soon as I
Speaker 4: walked up to him, I kind of felt like I
Speaker 4: know about this guy, like this is our first date
Speaker 4: kind of I don't know, just felt very like an
Speaker 4: initial intro, not like oh I'm on the Bachelor, and
Speaker 4: there's all these cameras and lights, like it was really
Speaker 4: just the two of us in that moment.
Speaker 3: Very special. He was so kind. But then I walked
Speaker 3: in the house and I realized I was the first one,
Speaker 3: and so like that was a.
Speaker 4: Bit of a shock more than meeting Joey. I was like, oh, okay,
Speaker 4: that was I'm glad I knew that after.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's so interesting. I always because sometimes they'll show
Speaker 2: someone come out of the lemo, but they're not necessarily
Speaker 2: the first one that actually came out of the lemo. Yeah,
Speaker 2: like the little switch you through. But yeah, but I
Speaker 2: feel like that's exciting because you probably like, Okay, I'm
Speaker 2: the first girl in his mind tonight, which is kind
Speaker 2: of cool. But I also would have been happy to
Speaker 2: not know that.
Speaker 4: Before saying I'm so glad they didn't tell me before,
Speaker 4: because I think I would have been like, I got
Speaker 4: to really pull it together, like he's been waiting for
Speaker 4: this for months, like I gotta.
Speaker 3: I don't even know. I don't know. It's for the.
Speaker 2: Best, for the best. So how does night one go?
Speaker 2: I know, it's like the longest night ever, but we
Speaker 2: get to talk to him.
Speaker 4: You guys know, it's a long night. I mean I
Speaker 4: didn't anticipate it being that long, so it was. It
Speaker 4: was a long night. I got really lucky and got
Speaker 4: to talk to him. Not everyone did, so I was
Speaker 4: fortunate for that. I gave him a ball marker from
Speaker 4: the golf course my dad and I play in Hill
Speaker 4: and Head, so he seemed excited that I golfed, and yeah,
Speaker 4: we had a good talk.
Speaker 3: We kissed, which I was not expecting.
Speaker 4: Like all my friends back at home were like, what
Speaker 4: this kind of off brand for me. I'm a little
Speaker 4: like stand offish until I trust someone. But I guess
Speaker 4: the trust that was already kind of there. I just
Speaker 4: felt safe around him. But yeah, night when there was
Speaker 4: stuff going on, but I kind of just kept to
Speaker 4: myself and was nervous for the roast ceremony. But I
Speaker 4: felt good about our talk.
Speaker 2: Nice, feel like that's like all you can ask for
Speaker 2: out of night, Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then before so before currently you get your one
Speaker 1: on one what's your connection? Like are you are you
Speaker 1: able to spend any time with Joey? How's it going?
Speaker 3: Yeah? It was going well.
Speaker 4: I got to talk to him at the talent show
Speaker 4: a little bit before we went out or excuse me,
Speaker 4: the pageant, and I got to talk to him that evening.
Speaker 2: So yeah, let's talk about the paget because missus right,
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 3: Yeah that was so Yeah, I did I did, I should. Yeah.
Speaker 2: There was a little animosity surrounding the kiss.
Speaker 4: How the kiss heard around the world. Yeah, there was
Speaker 4: some animosity for sure, which I'm so conflict adverse, Like
Speaker 4: I was like, it's fine, like someone else take the crown,
Speaker 4: Like all good. I understand, you know, I think some
Speaker 4: girls poured their heart and soul. They were doing flips
Speaker 4: and cartwheels and singing, and I mean, they're all so talented.
Speaker 4: I just stood there, but I was trying to think
Speaker 4: of something that I could do to show him I
Speaker 4: do come out of my shell and like I am
Speaker 4: fun and bubbly. I'm not this like super quiet, serious,
Speaker 4: reserved person.
Speaker 3: I think because I was nervous. That's how I had
Speaker 3: been coming across. So I was like, let's do it.
Speaker 3: Why not? You know, I took a tequila shot before,
Speaker 3: but I did it. No.
Speaker 2: I liked it. I liked that your talent incorporated him
Speaker 2: into it. I think that's always nice to like get
Speaker 2: him involved. And like I said, when we were capping,
Speaker 2: and I was like, you know what, sometimes you gotta
Speaker 2: work smarter, not harder. Just because she wasn't upside down
Speaker 2: doesn't mean she didn't have a good talent.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the other girls did great, so we all it
Speaker 3: was fun.
Speaker 2: Did you do you have like a favorite group date
Speaker 2: activity like that you've done up until this point?
Speaker 4: Up until this point, I think the wedding was fun
Speaker 4: because one, I've just never thought i'd be in a
Speaker 4: wedding dress before my wedding day. And then we all
Speaker 4: got to have individual time with him to work the room.
Speaker 4: At the reception, they didn't show everyone's but that was
Speaker 4: like our second time actually talking and it felt comfortable
Speaker 4: because it was just the two of us, like walking around,
Speaker 4: we went to the bar. So I thought the wedding
Speaker 4: was fun, that the pageant was really out of my
Speaker 4: comfort zone, and then there was more group dates that
Speaker 4: were a little more my speed further through this season.
Speaker 2: Nice. Yeah, the pageant, the gimmicky ones are always a
Speaker 2: little more awkward.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's I'm just like, oh my gosh. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 4: definitely an awkward person, So like being in that environment
Speaker 4: just like an answer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's it's tough.
Speaker 4: But I give those date planners credit because they always
Speaker 4: they come together so well. But in the moment, you're
Speaker 4: kind of like, all right, we're doing this, but then
Speaker 4: you see it and you're like, this is awesome.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So we get to Malta and you get your one
Speaker 2: on one date with Joey, were you like, did you
Speaker 2: have a sense that like maybe it was going to
Speaker 2: be you that week, like your time was maybe coming
Speaker 2: or were you totally surprised.
Speaker 4: Well, there's there's two pieces to this story. So the
Speaker 4: first one is my luggage was lost. Upon arriving in Malta,
Speaker 4: I was like, look, Joey's amazing. I want to be
Speaker 4: on a date this week. Just whatever you do, do
Speaker 4: not put me on a date tomorrow. Like I don't
Speaker 4: have any of my stuff. I was the only girl.
Speaker 4: It's just very like of course, uh and so's it
Speaker 4: was funny when they called my name. I was like,
Speaker 4: you know, I was really excited, and they ended up
Speaker 4: finding my luggage, so it all worked out. But it
Speaker 4: was just like I wasn't really prepared for at the
Speaker 4: night before because of that conversation. So like I didn't like,
Speaker 4: I didn't self tan, I didn't take a shower, like
Speaker 4: little things that I would do if I knew I
Speaker 4: was having gome on on one.
Speaker 3: But as soon as.
Speaker 4: I like got there with Joey, I was like, this
Speaker 4: is I mean, it was the best day ever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it looks that's actually funny. On on my season,
Speaker 2: Michelle Young, they she lost a piece of luggage and
Speaker 2: like was never to be found, like it wasn't. It
Speaker 2: wasn't the show, like the airline lost her luggage and
Speaker 2: she never found it, and she was like borrowing her
Speaker 2: roommate Ryan's clothes like the whole season because I think
Speaker 2: like the one that she lost was like all her
Speaker 2: clothes and jewelry, and like the one that she had
Speaker 2: was like toilet trees and like shoes and stuff. So
Speaker 2: she's like, I'm screwed, but I'm very glad that they
Speaker 2: found your luggage. But that is funny because it's like
Speaker 2: the one time you're like I don't want to date
Speaker 2: tomorrow is the time that you're like, okay, I guess
Speaker 2: on the dates.
Speaker 4: Just how life works out and on you know. It
Speaker 4: was it was truly like I will remember that day
Speaker 4: for the rest of my life. It was so fun,
Speaker 4: Like I got to do the walking tour and I
Speaker 4: travel a lot, so like getting to actually like walk
Speaker 4: around the city and see Malta. It was it was
Speaker 4: just casual and fun, like it didn't feel like we
Speaker 4: were on a bachelor date.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I always say like those are the best dates,
Speaker 2: like just the ones that are the most organic. What
Speaker 2: was it like being in that church? I know, you
Speaker 2: kind of talked about your grandfather, Yeah, and you got
Speaker 2: to interact with Yeah.
Speaker 3: So it was emotional. It was really emotional.
Speaker 4: It was I think being away from you, you know this,
Speaker 4: like being away from your whole family, and then like
Speaker 4: just your emotions are high and then you know, I
Speaker 4: was in the church and I went to church with
Speaker 4: my grandfather growing up, and he had passed away recently,
Speaker 4: and because of COVID, I wasn't able to go to
Speaker 4: the funeral, and just there was so many emotions that
Speaker 4: just hit me at once. I felt like I hadn't
Speaker 4: been in a church like that since I was with him,
Speaker 4: And it was just a really full circle moment because
Speaker 4: he always said he wanted to meet my person, and
Speaker 4: like we both golfed together, like we were just so close,
Speaker 4: and like that was at the end of the day
Speaker 4: and so like that being kind of how we closed
Speaker 4: out the date and just everything going so well with Joey,
Speaker 4: I just felt like I was really supposed to be
Speaker 4: there in that moment.
Speaker 3: Uh. It was. Yeah, it was very special.
Speaker 4: And then the priest came over and talked to us
Speaker 4: about what makes a healthy marriage and talked about a
Speaker 4: couple that he's married in the church and yeah, he
Speaker 4: just gave us some advice and it was Yeah, it
Speaker 4: was it was beautiful.
Speaker 3: I'm excited to watch that back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, are you starting to feel like Joey could be
Speaker 1: your person? Is that happening yet?
Speaker 3: Yeah? For sure, I think.
Speaker 4: I mean I was definitely starting to think like, oh, okay,
Speaker 4: this is like I'm not just on here, you know,
Speaker 4: to meet someone and see if there's something there. Like
Speaker 4: I'm like, the something there is there. It's just a
Speaker 4: matter of like kind of getting down, like opening up
Speaker 4: with a big thing for me that night, Like I
Speaker 4: wanted to open up about my health with him because
Speaker 4: I wanted to make sure like that wasn't something that
Speaker 4: you know, he wouldn't want to that could affect his
Speaker 4: decision with me. So at that point, I was like,
Speaker 4: the feelings are there. I just think we need to
Speaker 4: kind of figure out under the covers, like our values,
Speaker 4: what we want long term in our timelines. Timelines was
Speaker 4: a huge thing for me.
Speaker 1: Yeah we we we see you mentioned and we definitely
Speaker 1: don't have to go there if you're uncomfortable talking about it.
Speaker 1: But your past with your acts of it being an
Speaker 1: issue for him, do you want to talk about that
Speaker 1: at all.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can touch on it.
Speaker 4: I think, you know, for him, my health did was
Speaker 4: ultimately something that impacted the end of our relationship. I
Speaker 4: think he saw it as I would never say a burden,
Speaker 4: but you know, just something that would potentially affect you know,
Speaker 4: us being able to have a family long term or
Speaker 4: you know, my ability to be a mother, like I'm
Speaker 4: not always is one hundred percent every day, And so
Speaker 4: for him, he saw that as sometimes a challenge, which
Speaker 4: you can imagine on my side, like is really difficult
Speaker 4: because you know, when we broke up, like hearing from
Speaker 4: multiple people that it was like he just wasn't sure
Speaker 4: he could handle your health condition, He wasn't sure that
Speaker 4: he could support you in the way that you need
Speaker 4: to be supported. And for me it was very much like,
Speaker 4: but I mean, I do a really good job at
Speaker 4: like holding my pain in and not showing it outwardly.
Speaker 4: So I'm already self conscious about this, and to hear
Speaker 4: it was like one of the deciding factors to ultimately
Speaker 4: not move towards a marriage with me, like has made
Speaker 4: me not want to open up about any of this
Speaker 4: with another person.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can imagine that being on TV opening up
Speaker 2: to Joey this new relationship about your endo is already scary,
Speaker 2: and then to have that added layer of like, well,
Speaker 2: the last time I did this, it ended the relationship. Yeah,
Speaker 2: is just a whole other life of like anxiety exactly.
Speaker 4: I mean, you said it perfectly, but I felt I
Speaker 4: had to because on the show, you have such limited time,
Speaker 4: and so I wanted to be fair to Joey. And
Speaker 4: if it's Joey was never going to go in and
Speaker 4: say like I don't want to be with you because
Speaker 4: you can't have kids. That's not the That's not the
Speaker 4: conversation that we were having. It was more like, hey,
Speaker 4: I'm dealing with x Y and Z. I might be
Speaker 4: on a little bit more of an expedited timeline than
Speaker 4: some of these other girls that are here because of
Speaker 4: x Y and Z. Like how does that make you feel?
Speaker 4: And I genuinely wanted his reaction because it's okay if
Speaker 4: he wants, you know, five to seven years before kids.
Speaker 4: And I'm not saying that's what he said, but like
Speaker 4: his emotions and reaction are valid, and I would rather
Speaker 4: have that early on than like drag out a connection
Speaker 4: and then it come up later that to me wouldn't
Speaker 4: be fair to him totally.
Speaker 2: That totally makes sense because if he were to say,
Speaker 2: like I'm not ready to have kids, I don't want
Speaker 2: a family for ten years, or like I don't I mean,
Speaker 2: we know he wants kids, but like, it's a serious
Speaker 2: conversation to have and it's one that you know you
Speaker 2: have added layers to add to. So how did that
Speaker 2: conversation go? Like, obviously you did an amazing job of
Speaker 2: expressing yourself, he saw. How did it feel, you know,
Speaker 2: hearing Joe's response.
Speaker 4: Hearing Joe's response was well, like probably forever changed my
Speaker 4: perception on opening up about this in my life and
Speaker 4: my story and my health and relationships. He I mean,
Speaker 4: he brought me to tears that night. It was he
Speaker 4: was so genuine and sincere and such a good listener.
Speaker 3: I felt heard. I didn't feel judged or like analyzed.
Speaker 4: I felt like he was really just listening to me
Speaker 4: and empathetic to what I went through. He related to
Speaker 4: me in many ways in his own personal life, and
Speaker 4: he was like, look, that's not an issue for me.
Speaker 4: Like I think with the right person, whoever that is
Speaker 4: for him, that they would figure it out. And you
Speaker 4: know that could be through things like adopt or you know,
Speaker 4: surrogacy whatever. That looks like kids are important to him
Speaker 4: as well, but that's not going to be detrimental to
Speaker 4: his choice and moving.
Speaker 3: Forward with me. And yeah, he was just he was
Speaker 3: so kind that night and it was it was really beautiful.
Speaker 2: That's amazing. Yeah, I feel like he's really demonstrated.
Speaker 1: Like we said, he's the he's the best receiver joke.
Speaker 2: He's like, he's an amazing receiver.
Speaker 4: He he's an incredible he's also he's such a good
Speaker 4: listener and he's yeah, he's he's he was raised well
Speaker 4: like he is, but you know what it is, he's
Speaker 4: just a kind person. So he actually cares because you'll
Speaker 4: talk to some people and it's like you can tell
Speaker 4: they're registering it, but like kind of fifty percent and
Speaker 4: fifty percent out, Like he was locked in. I mean,
Speaker 4: he was listening to me. And in a situation like that,
Speaker 4: it's so important.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's let's jump a little bit too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: your thoughts on the Maria fiasco and why we want
Speaker 1: I want your opinion on two situations, but the first one,
Speaker 1: what were your thoughts on just the Maria in Sydney
Speaker 1: of it all.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because we also know that you were the only
Speaker 2: one there before they went on to them, because everyone
Speaker 2: else is on the group day.
Speaker 1: I forgot.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess, yeah, I can start.
Speaker 4: My initial thoughts were back at the mansion is where
Speaker 4: I think that conversation should have been left. I think,
Speaker 4: you know, everyone's emotions and feelings are valid, Medina's were valid.
Speaker 4: At the mansion, Sidney was trying to stand up for
Speaker 4: her friend, and Maria was trying to, you know, advocate
Speaker 4: for herself and say, hey, I did not bring this
Speaker 4: up in any way, shape or form to hurt someone.
Speaker 4: I brought this up just because I wanted to know
Speaker 4: who was talking and kind of you know, clear her
Speaker 4: name in the situation, because she didn't mean her come
Speaker 4: in a mean way. There was no bad intentions there.
Speaker 4: It's hard. I really think this dragged on for too long.
Speaker 4: It took away time from a lot of girls that
Speaker 4: had also their own beautiful stories to tell, and so
Speaker 4: I wish it was left at the mansion.
Speaker 3: I think it.
Speaker 4: I think the initial conversation could have just been squashed,
Speaker 4: but it continued on, obviously right to Malta in Spain
Speaker 4: and and throughout the season and that day that it
Speaker 4: was just the three of us, Like you could cut
Speaker 4: the tension with a knife. I mean you could just tell,
Speaker 4: like tensions are high, they're going on a two on one.
Speaker 4: They're fully aware of what that comes with, right, Like
Speaker 4: I think the date card that I got, of course
Speaker 4: me had to read it was like one rows, two girls,
Speaker 4: one stay as one goes, And I was like, I
Speaker 4: was even just like I got to go to my room, like.
Speaker 2: Here's the card, how do we get that down?
Speaker 3: I like toss that out the window at the hotel.
Speaker 3: But yeah, it was it was.
Speaker 4: I I did sit down with both of them, both
Speaker 4: of their you know, they they were they were stressed.
Speaker 1: Who do if you had to put money on it
Speaker 1: before they went on that date, who did you think
Speaker 1: was coming back?
Speaker 2: That's a good question.
Speaker 3: That is a good question.
Speaker 4: I think based on what I saw, I thought Maria
Speaker 4: and Joey had a stronger connection. I was on both
Speaker 4: group dates with Maria.
Speaker 3: I was on one group date with Sydney and she
Speaker 3: didn't have one the first week, So I just thought
Speaker 3: I could always tell there was something there between Joey
Speaker 3: and Maria. Like I tell by the way he looked
Speaker 3: at her. I think he was intrigued by.
Speaker 4: Her personality, like she is very outgoing, So I kind
Speaker 4: of thought, if it was solely based on connection, Maria
Speaker 4: was going to come back.
Speaker 2: We saw when Sydney's suitcase gets pulled Leah Jess. I'm
Speaker 2: sure there was a few other people, but those were
Speaker 2: the two main ones. I remember were very surprised that
Speaker 2: Sidney was going home. Where do you think their shot
Speaker 2: came from? Do you think it was like wishful thinking
Speaker 2: or do you think you know?
Speaker 4: I think it was rooted in the fact that they
Speaker 4: have their own perception of this.
Speaker 3: They're very close to Sidney.
Speaker 4: They were you know, when you're on this experience, you
Speaker 4: form strong relationships because it's so unique, and they were,
Speaker 4: you know, really good friends with her, and they heard
Speaker 4: her side of the story, and they weren't as close
Speaker 4: to Maria.
Speaker 3: So I think it was twofold.
Speaker 4: I think it was oh, Maria's still staying like they
Speaker 4: were upset about that, and then I think it was
Speaker 4: also like we're losing our friend here.
Speaker 3: But that night was hard.
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not gonna lie like I've since had
Speaker 4: a conversation with Maria and apologize to her because I
Speaker 4: wish I spoke up that night and it's like, you know,
Speaker 4: you go through this, everyone has their like regrets. But
Speaker 4: when she walked in, it was silent, and I wish
Speaker 4: that I had said, like, look, today must have been
Speaker 4: hard for both of you, but like, I'm proud of
Speaker 4: you forgetting the rose, and like I I know Joey
Speaker 4: made that decision for a reason. She didn't deserve to
Speaker 4: walk into a silent room, like that wasn't fair to her.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I can imagine that would have been super horrible.
Speaker 1: Everyone's like yeah, because then you walk in and you
Speaker 1: you're kind of on this a little bit of a
Speaker 1: high because at least you're still there and he gives
Speaker 1: you a rose, and then everybody's.
Speaker 3: Like, oh, guys, it was bad. Like it was bad,
Speaker 3: but like it was, it was bad. It was bad.
Speaker 3: It was quiet. It was because you know, she didn't
Speaker 3: do anything wrong.
Speaker 4: She was she's also dating Joey, so he made the
Speaker 4: choice and she came back and she didn't deserve to
Speaker 4: walk into that.
Speaker 2: So but then we do see Leyah, the Leyah Jess
Speaker 2: call calling her Maria bitch and all, well, I was
Speaker 2: going to refer to Leah pulled Medina aside and said, like,
Speaker 2: you were so nice to her when she came in.
Speaker 2: Was that like later in the night then, like do
Speaker 2: you think Medina maybe had those same feelings you did?
Speaker 2: Of like that was really awkward, Like I'm gonna go
Speaker 2: say something to Maria, just basically saying like hey, happy
Speaker 2: you're back, you look great, like hope your hope your
Speaker 2: day was good.
Speaker 4: Here's the thing, like, yes, she brought up the initial
Speaker 4: comment so people could say, like, why is she not
Speaker 4: still involved? But her and Maria said so at the
Speaker 4: end of the day at that point, she was not
Speaker 4: involved anymore. I think that the description or maybe what
Speaker 4: was mis confused was like Leah and Sidney were so close,
Speaker 4: so I think Leyah was standing up for her friend,
Speaker 4: but Medina didn't really do anything wrong, like she were
Speaker 4: allowed to be friends with multiple people right across different groups,
Speaker 4: Like that's inevitable with thirty two women. So I just
Speaker 4: again it was kind of like why are we still
Speaker 4: dragging this on in Spain?
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, totally, who are your friends in the house.
Speaker 4: I was really good friends with Kelsey A. She's an
Speaker 4: amazing human. I think Madina's great Maria, the sisters, Evelyn, Chrisa.
Speaker 4: I mean, I could go on like just Daisy's wonderful,
Speaker 4: but you know, I think obviously you gravitate to certain people,
Speaker 4: and like Kelsey A, Caitlin, Medina and I were definitely
Speaker 4: the closest.
Speaker 2: Nice I do want to jump back to what you
Speaker 2: were asking, which was which was what is your take
Speaker 2: on the blow up between Jess and Maria.
Speaker 4: It was crazy to watch, and I think there was
Speaker 4: a lot of built up emotion. You know, everyone gets that,
Speaker 4: like it's a pent up anger that's like week after
Speaker 4: week after week. And like in Malta, Sinney went home
Speaker 4: and Jess and Sidney were such good friends, are such
Speaker 4: good friends, and you know, I think Jess and Maria
Speaker 4: like you can go back to kind of night one,
Speaker 4: right when Jess kissed him twice, like there's been like
Speaker 4: people kind of poking the bear, and I think in
Speaker 4: Spain it finally just erupted and Jets obviously called Maria
Speaker 4: a name, and you know, I don't think that was
Speaker 4: warranted at all, and I do think that they've they
Speaker 4: had the opportunity to talk that night, but it was
Speaker 4: it was crazy, It was very explosive.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say I feel like as much as
Speaker 2: there was a lot of Sydney Maria confrontation, that was
Speaker 2: like the most heated moment I've seen, Like there was
Speaker 2: a lot of emotion behind that one. We do see
Speaker 2: you like console Maria when she's kind of trying, yeah,
Speaker 2: to leave with the Leyah drama. You just say, you know,
Speaker 2: it's okay. You've been like pushed and pushed and pushed,
Speaker 2: so like it's okay that you're having a moment. And
Speaker 2: then we see you make a comment in regards to
Speaker 2: the Jess and Maria argument where you say, you know,
Speaker 2: I think there might be some jealousy on Jess's side.
Speaker 2: Do you think that Maria now getting this attention and
Speaker 2: reassurance from Joey kind of rubbed some people the wrong way,
Speaker 2: especially maybe the girls that were friends with Sidney.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Look, I mean, I'm thirty, I'm confident in who I am.
Speaker 4: If I was on this twenty four, i'd be jealous
Speaker 4: of Maria too, Like she's so confident, she's stunning, Like
Speaker 4: she's seemingly good at everything. The girls like doing like
Speaker 4: you know, backflips across the stage, like she's hilarious. I mean, right,
Speaker 4: it's intimidating to be in a room with someone like that.
Speaker 4: I'm not I don't know if if it was jealousy
Speaker 4: with Jess or if it was more just like the
Speaker 4: personal uh feeling like personally attacked as her best friend
Speaker 4: went home because of an output of Maria's action. But
Speaker 4: I do think, yeah, I think that some of the
Speaker 4: younger girls in the house, which I hate to say
Speaker 4: that because this whole season feels like it's been about age,
Speaker 4: but like, I think someone at twenty four and someone
Speaker 4: at thirty one are in a different phase of life,
Speaker 4: and I think sometimes there might have been some jealousy
Speaker 4: there just seeing how strong of a connection Marian and
Speaker 4: Joey had.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Was it at least entertaining? I mean, because you guys
Speaker 1: don't have anything to do.
Speaker 3: You guys, I was just eating charcuterie and having sangria,
Speaker 3: which was.
Speaker 2: Great and as you should in Spain, sounds.
Speaker 3: Terrible, but yeah, I was. I was. I wasn't like
Speaker 3: entertained by people feeling sad, but I was like, it's crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I get it out of the two places
Speaker 1: so far that you traveled to. Which one do you favor? Spain?
Speaker 3: Well, I love, I love Spain. I took Spanish all
Speaker 3: through college and like, I love the culture. But if
Speaker 3: I'm thinking about just like the experience there Malta.
Speaker 4: Because of the date, the one on one, I got
Speaker 4: to see so much of Malta. When Jesse told us Malta,
Speaker 4: I don't I don't know if it was dumb or like,
Speaker 4: I just didn't know where that was.
Speaker 1: I was just going to ask you that because like
Speaker 1: I feel like no one has even heard of it.
Speaker 2: I was like, is it a country? Is it a city?
Speaker 2: Like where is it located?
Speaker 3: I was like, are we going to Asia? Like I
Speaker 3: didn't know?
Speaker 4: And so I he said international and like I hate flying.
Speaker 4: It was the whole thing I was taking in a
Speaker 4: lot in that moment. But the fifteen hours to Turkey
Speaker 4: was like I thought we were going to Nashville.
Speaker 3: The rumor in the house was we were going to Nashville.
Speaker 3: So like I really had to like shift my mind, like,
Speaker 3: oh no, We're going to Turkey. Like anyways, I loved Malta.
Speaker 3: It's beautiful.
Speaker 4: It's right below the boot in Sicily, and I feel like,
Speaker 4: I mean, it was a dream.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw when Maria when they were on there too,
Speaker 2: and when Maria was like, we're only a thirty minute
Speaker 2: boat ride from Sicily, I'm like, oh that's kind of cool.
Speaker 2: Like yeah, it's like maybe we'll go to Sicily and
Speaker 2: then we'll go to Malta.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you guys should go.
Speaker 2: Okay, we are going to get into a game with
Speaker 2: you before we let you go. It's super it's rapid fire.
Speaker 2: It's just like all easy, fun questions about you and yeah,
Speaker 2: you ready, I guess, let's do it. Okay. What is
Speaker 2: your go to breakfast?
Speaker 4: Go to breakfast is probably an Osi you bowl. I
Speaker 4: love them. I like make one every morning.
Speaker 2: You make it at home?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do.
Speaker 4: I used to buy them, but they're like twenty dollars eat,
Speaker 4: so I was like, this is not fiscally responsible. So
Speaker 4: I get the little package and whole foods and like
Speaker 4: you know, like for the granola and some fruit.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. So yeah, what is your favorite color
Speaker 2: to wear?
Speaker 3: Green?
Speaker 2: Which I mean perfect do green eyes?
Speaker 3: They're like green blue. I don't know, it changed, it
Speaker 3: kind of changed with my emotions. Sometimes people would say
Speaker 3: that like if I cry, they get more green and
Speaker 3: then if I'm so interesting.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, it's like a Disney character. What's your
Speaker 2: favorite season?
Speaker 4: My favorite season, I mean typical answer, but fall. Love
Speaker 4: the fall and everything that comes with it. Halloween is
Speaker 4: my favorite holiday.
Speaker 2: Halloween to be your holiday.
Speaker 3: I love Halloween. I know that's so retroversial. It is rare.
Speaker 4: I just I love like spooky things. And I know
Speaker 4: it's like leading up to Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2: I don't know, I love is that weird? I just
Speaker 2: feel like, yeah, I.
Speaker 1: Just don't like dressing I just don't like dressing up.
Speaker 1: But I love the idea, you know.
Speaker 2: Spooky season. Yeah, I love like we'll get like fall candles.
Speaker 4: Like yeah, like passing out candy, like you know, Christmas
Speaker 4: is on its way. Yeah, it's a good time.
Speaker 2: What is a big green flag for you?
Speaker 3: Good relationship with their family?
Speaker 2: What a relationship deal breaker for you?
Speaker 3: A relationship deal breaker would be someone who.
Speaker 4: Cheats, for sure, or someone who's not driven in their
Speaker 4: career or I shouldn't even say their career, but like
Speaker 4: not passionate about what they're doing in their life.
Speaker 2: What's your dream vacation destination.
Speaker 3: I want to go to Japan so badly.
Speaker 2: We are saying maybe this we might go Joe's bend.
Speaker 1: Ben It's amazing, Is it amazing? Yeah, we want to
Speaker 1: try to go this year.
Speaker 3: You guys have to tish.
Speaker 2: We'll see, we'll see if it happens. I'm hoping it,
Speaker 2: cross my fingers. What's one thing on your bucket list?
Speaker 4: I think on the bucket list would be I really
Speaker 4: want to run like a marathon or a triathlon, just
Speaker 4: because when I was originally diagnosed with like all my
Speaker 4: health stuff, they were like, you probably won't be able
Speaker 4: to do like extreme sports or anything that's really hard
Speaker 4: on your body anymore, which like growing up playing sports
Speaker 4: that was devastating for me to hear.
Speaker 3: And I kind of want to prove my doctor's wrong and.
Speaker 4: Be like, even though I like because it's a long
Speaker 4: time and heard on your body, so they're worried it
Speaker 4: might like exasperate my symptoms or make me feel like
Speaker 4: a lot worse with my back. So I kind of
Speaker 4: want to like run one and then give my doctor,
Speaker 4: like my like bib to put in their off.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you should do it the city if you if
Speaker 1: you could run it anywhere, were would you want to run?
Speaker 3: Probably New York?
Speaker 2: Joe did the New York Marathon this past night.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was it's they say it's they it's I
Speaker 1: didn't know that. They say New York's one of the
Speaker 1: harder courses. Yeah, but yeah, it was very rewarding. I
Speaker 1: did on the right under four hours, so it was
Speaker 1: three three fifty eight, three fifty eight.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I did not run it.
Speaker 3: I didn't.
Speaker 2: No, I told one of the signs I did. I
Speaker 2: had a sign that said run joe Run, I love it.
Speaker 2: What is Oh? Do you have any tattoos?
Speaker 3: I do not, but I'm not a post to them.
Speaker 3: I just haven't found the right thing. Yeah.
Speaker 2: What's your favorite physical quality of Joey's physical quality?

Speaker 4: just since the color, like they're very kind.

Speaker 2: when you need advice?
Speaker 4: My best friend again we she was my first friend

Speaker 4: like a sister.

Speaker 2: I'm struggling to read them, like, wait, what is this?
Speaker 4: So I know the answer to this one the Elf
Speaker 4: lip oil because on the show, all the girls use
Speaker 4: the dr one, but it's so expensive and I just
Speaker 4: can't justify that. So the Elf one's like nine dollars
Speaker 4: and it's amazing.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's a good due.
Speaker 3: To do, not to do a product placement.
Speaker 2: No, let me.
Speaker 1: See, I love Elf is blown up because of that.
Speaker 2: Yes, because the Oil Good Job Joe podcast we're just
Speaker 2: talking about the other day of Clarence has a good
Speaker 2: a good dupe for it as well. What is your
Speaker 2: favorite memory of your time on the show.
Speaker 3: My favorite memory is would be the dinner with Joey.
Speaker 4: It was one just like an incredibly beautiful setting and
Speaker 4: then it was something like it was something I didn't
Speaker 4: even know its possible to have in a relationship, like
Speaker 4: his reaction really changing how I view dating and myself.
Speaker 2: That's amazing. And then to end it off, can you
Speaker 2: give us a teaser for what's to come this season?
Speaker 4: I think what's to come this season? I think, you know,
Speaker 4: obviously it's a very romantic season. I think Joey has
Speaker 4: an incredible cast of women, so there's going to be
Speaker 4: stronger relationships starting to form, and I think with that
Speaker 4: comes heightened emotions.
Speaker 3: Obviously some drama.
Speaker 4: You know, that's continuing from previous episodes, but I really
Speaker 4: think the rest of the season is just going to
Speaker 4: focus on the love stories. And yeah, I'm just hopeful
Speaker 4: that Joey, he's very deserving to find his person, and
Speaker 4: hopeful every hopefully everyone gets to watch that come to life.
