Speaker 1: What is about our Happy Hour listeners, It's to me
Speaker 1: one of your hosts back up, back again, and I
Speaker 1: am so excited to kick this season up, not only
Speaker 1: because we have to cover my fellow Minnesota girl Michelle,
Speaker 1: but I have my other girl Tasia back joining me
Speaker 1: for the entire season. So welcome back, Tasha, Thank you.
Speaker 1: I am so excited to be on Happy Hour for
Speaker 1: Michelle's season. I think it's just going to be able
Speaker 1: to give us a deeper look into what happened. I
Speaker 1: have so much to say, a lot of insider scoops,
Speaker 1: so I can't wait to get down Durny this season. Listen.
Speaker 1: You know, I love to hear that. I love all
Speaker 1: the tea, we love the behind the scenes. And I
Speaker 1: think we've talked about this before, but premiers like Night
Speaker 1: one is always so exciting, and today's going to be
Speaker 1: extra exciting because we have the man of the Nights,
Speaker 1: the man who received Michelle's first impression Rose, which is
Speaker 1: Nate on today to pick his brain to see what
Speaker 1: he felt night one, you know, kind of take him
Speaker 1: back to that moment when he first saw Michelle again
Speaker 1: and mid all of the men and everything that went down.
Speaker 1: But like you just said you were there, You lived
Speaker 1: it alongside of her, so you know much more. You
Speaker 1: got to know some of these guys much better than
Speaker 1: any of us viewers will, and so I can't wait
Speaker 1: to have you on and pick your brain about everything
Speaker 1: this entire season. Yeah, it's gonna be so fun. I
Speaker 1: think we did something that was really different this season.
Speaker 1: We actually went to select few of the guy's room
Speaker 1: and we're able to really kind of see them in
Speaker 1: a different light before Michelle even got to meet them,
Speaker 1: which I thought was really fun and really cool. But
Speaker 1: we also I don't know if the guys really appreciated it,
Speaker 1: or should I say a certain man appreciated it, because
Speaker 1: well we may have you know, Dug a little too
Speaker 1: hard and found a little something something, which I'm sure
Speaker 1: we'll talk about this episode, but we need to get
Speaker 1: into that. Yea, literally, just do it. Okay, let's just
Speaker 1: start talking about it before we get into the guys though,
Speaker 1: I have to call out Michelle. It's just radiant, radiant,
Speaker 1: and we are both lucky enough to have met her
Speaker 1: in person, to have gotten to know her in real life,
Speaker 1: and how she comes across on TV. I mean obviously
Speaker 1: just from the outside, she is stunning, but she just
Speaker 1: carries herself with so much grace and confidence that I
Speaker 1: think is going to be really great. I'm hoping for
Speaker 1: viewers to see that you can still be kind and
Speaker 1: patient and attentive and just you know, have this confidence.
Speaker 1: And I think, like we sat fresh out the gate,
Speaker 1: when the all of the men met her, I think
Speaker 1: they were just in awe, Like she was glowing. She
Speaker 1: was glowing. I mean, she completely takes your breath away.
Speaker 1: But I think also like, aside from the beauty of
Speaker 1: it all, like she's just a really good person and
Speaker 1: she's extremely levelheaded and she doesn't need anybody to complete her,
Speaker 1: which I think she's well aware of. She's just looking
Speaker 1: for someone to compliment her. And I think that that
Speaker 1: completely changed the dynamic of just how she was dating
Speaker 1: all the guys, because the guy's got that sense from
Speaker 1: her true like they were like, yeah, she's basically the
Speaker 1: whole package. I would be lucky to be in her
Speaker 1: life essentially, you know what I mean. And she just
Speaker 1: she's everything. I cannot wait for you guys to get
Speaker 1: to know her a little bit more. I watching her
Speaker 1: the I wouldn't even call it a hometown package. But
Speaker 1: watching the part where she's sitting down with her parents,
Speaker 1: First of all, okay, sweet, just to see her back
Speaker 1: in Minnesota, like the places that I grew up, everything
Speaker 1: is so nostalgic for me. It's so exciting to kind
Speaker 1: of see through the lens of now a viewer and
Speaker 1: watching her being from Minnesota. But the moment where she
Speaker 1: sat down with her parents and they have this like
Speaker 1: little barbecue grilled on the back, I'm like, this is
Speaker 1: so Minnesota. I love it. I'm like, I'm about to
Speaker 1: invite me and my mom over there next time. We
Speaker 1: all to get her in Minnesota. It just felt like
Speaker 1: to me, it just felt like comforting. It just felt
Speaker 1: like home, which was really nice to see. So that
Speaker 1: was fun, fun for me personally. But I think because
Speaker 1: and this is something that she talked about, you know,
Speaker 1: throughout night one, is she had such a great example
Speaker 1: set in front of her, like a very respectful, loving,
Speaker 1: loyal relationship, and I think she knows what she deserves
Speaker 1: and she saw that in her parents, and so she's
Speaker 1: not going to settle. She's not going to go for
Speaker 1: anything less than that, which she made made very apparent
Speaker 1: to the men that first night and just in her
Speaker 1: speeches and the way that she had her one on
Speaker 1: one interactions with everyone, which I thought was just it
Speaker 1: set the tone very well for the entire night and hopefully,
Speaker 1: I'm assuming it'll carry through the entire season. Yeah, it does.
Speaker 1: But let's get into some of these arrivals and the
Speaker 1: limo entrances showing because Tay, you were there, you and
Speaker 1: Caitlin were watching from behind a bush, and so take
Speaker 1: me back to that night. What were some of your
Speaker 1: favorite guys or entrances that you saw. Okay, first of all,
Speaker 1: this is it's hilarious, like how Caitlin and I kind
Speaker 1: of like fine little nuts and crannies to kind of
Speaker 1: hide in, and the little spot that we were in particular,
Speaker 1: there was a bunch of broad ants. It was so
Speaker 1: funny because like we started looking down and my legs
Speaker 1: were itching. I was like, what is going on here?
Speaker 1: There was red ants everywhere. So I'm telling you right now,
Speaker 1: we will do anything to spy in trying, you know,
Speaker 1: an inside peek on what's going down. But let me think, Okay,
Speaker 1: there are a couple entrances that I was really First
Speaker 1: of all, how hard did you laugh when it came
Speaker 1: to the firefighters, like the one back to back. I
Speaker 1: was laughing so hard and like, god, I feel so
Speaker 1: bad for Daniel coming in on like a toy firefighter
Speaker 1: drug and or a firetrug. And he was like so proud.
Speaker 1: He was like so excited. He's like, yeah, he's like
Speaker 1: I came in a toy one. But it was like
Speaker 1: cute and like she loved it. And the next thing,
Speaker 1: you know, of course, like a Jumbo the real deal.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. And he was like is that another
Speaker 1: one in his face? Oh my god. The whole thing,
Speaker 1: the whole snip was just like my favorite. I really
Speaker 1: liked the guy that rolled in on the platter, the
Speaker 1: all Trey. Yes, we like Rick. Yes. Caitlyn and I
Speaker 1: were hiding behind the bush and we could hear her
Speaker 1: screaming from like way back where we were, and it
Speaker 1: was just like, oh my god, what are they saying?
Speaker 1: What's going on? Like this guy must be hilarious, And truthfully,
Speaker 1: I think he just kind of like took her breath
Speaker 1: away and kind of scaring her a little bit. But
Speaker 1: it was like the perfect way to make a first impression.
Speaker 1: I thought it was really fun and quirky. I hadn't
Speaker 1: seen anything like that. Have you no. I Mean the
Speaker 1: only other thing that I could kind of relate it
Speaker 1: to was when James pulled up in the box, you know,
Speaker 1: because like yes, yes, yes, because they have to stay
Speaker 1: in it all night for the most part, and I listen,
Speaker 1: Rick had me cackling on the couch because first of all,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, like, okay, think of like being stuck on
Speaker 1: this little table. I'm just trying to think about like
Speaker 1: how contorted my body would be for hours on end,
Speaker 1: and how uncomfortable it would be. But to like pull
Speaker 1: up to this stunning woman and have her pull the
Speaker 1: cover off, like he definitely have the best to be
Speaker 1: because he's going straight up at you know, all that
Speaker 1: Michelle has to offer, this staying woman, and then he
Speaker 1: but he like owns it and he just sits in
Speaker 1: it all night until they finally have their one on
Speaker 1: one chat. And at first I was like, He's going
Speaker 1: to walk out and like something I don't I don't
Speaker 1: know what I was expecting, like something more when he
Speaker 1: came out, like something weird still, but but he came
Speaker 1: down and just owned it. And at first, because you
Speaker 1: could tell when he first met her he was nervous
Speaker 1: but like trying to put on such a brave, funny face. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But what he said to her later where he was like,
Speaker 1: I know it was weird and it kind of freaked
Speaker 1: you out, but like I always want to be like
Speaker 1: a fun zone that you can come back to and
Speaker 1: like relax on these that that was the sweet moment
Speaker 1: where he kind of won me over. I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: I was. I was kind of on defense about Rick
Speaker 1: and now no, I'm a Rick fan. Well, because like
Speaker 1: it was actually thoughtful, you know, like a little bit
Speaker 1: more thought came into it as opposed to just being
Speaker 1: funny and just trying to make an entrance. It was like, no,
Speaker 1: like I want you to be, you know, able to
Speaker 1: rely on me to make you laugh and giggle even
Speaker 1: when things are kind of like you're meeting thirty guys
Speaker 1: when you're dating all of us. I just felt bad
Speaker 1: he couldn't drink the entire night. I was these dudes
Speaker 1: hask to just hold a cup and a straw to
Speaker 1: him or something like he's got to be on everyone's
Speaker 1: poor man? Did you think about that? But um, can
Speaker 1: I ask you can we get into one of the
Speaker 1: guys because you touched at the beginning, we need to
Speaker 1: talk about Ryan Ryan with the documents mister folder Um.
Speaker 1: First of all, couldn't arn spell bachelorette? Right? Wait did
Speaker 1: you notice yes, only on the folder. Um, but what
Speaker 1: were your thoughts when you found these documents? Because you did,
Speaker 1: you and call them held it in for a while,
Speaker 1: you waited a day before I would have gone straight
Speaker 1: to Michelle. I'm like, look, don't let him come down.
Speaker 1: This guy is calculated. What were your thoughts when you
Speaker 1: actually found that stuff? We actually had met the guys
Speaker 1: in day priors, so already, Like, it's not like it
Speaker 1: could have I mean, I think if we would have
Speaker 1: found it that day, like on Roastremory day, we would
Speaker 1: have probably waited as well, just because you you know
Speaker 1: how that night is that night you already have enough nerves.
Speaker 1: And honestly, we didn't want to tell her like beforehand,
Speaker 1: so that way she is putting up a wall and
Speaker 1: meeting all these other guys, you know what I mean, Like,
Speaker 1: I really wanted those first impressions to be real, authentic,
Speaker 1: have fun with it. And so we decided to confront
Speaker 1: her and tell her about what we had found, um,
Speaker 1: which by the way, weren't even like hidden very hard.
Speaker 1: They were literally sitting on the table, So it's not
Speaker 1: like he was even trying to, like, you know, be
Speaker 1: secretive about it. It was right there, um and we
Speaker 1: were like, oh my god, is he doing schoolwork? Like
Speaker 1: it wasn't really like, you know, we didn't know what
Speaker 1: he was doing. And it said batchelor. I don't even
Speaker 1: know how what word that wasn't to be in. I'm
Speaker 1: pretty sure. But if my mother was watching, she'd be
Speaker 1: pissed because she she's a grammar queen. She was a teacher.
Speaker 1: It's like a at least spell show. You're going on
Speaker 1: the right way, man. I mean you only you only
Speaker 1: knew for how long that you were going on the show.
Speaker 1: You might want to try to spell it correctly. But
Speaker 1: he had he had deep, long notes. He can I
Speaker 1: to just tell you this so well. He was one
Speaker 1: of our Everything he said was so contradictory because he
Speaker 1: was our bachelor for Bachelor live on stage in his
Speaker 1: city pre COVID. So when Ben Higgens and I were
Speaker 1: on tour and hosting that show, I remember this. He
Speaker 1: was one of the Bachelor's and he was a fan.
Speaker 1: He would ask us questions like he knew all the
Speaker 1: ins and the outs. He was very calculated on stage.
Speaker 1: Like so when Ben and I found out he was
Speaker 1: on this season, we had like a good little chuckle.
Speaker 1: Ben's like I can't. He's like I can't, I can't,
Speaker 1: but um yeah. So when he's like, I've only seen
Speaker 1: two hours of you know, any of the shows and
Speaker 1: I don't know anything, It's like, which is right now, sir?
Speaker 1: It's also lie because two seconds later he was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean like I would watch and see like what
Speaker 1: she would like, and so I would write it down.
Speaker 1: I'm like, hold on a second, so did you watch
Speaker 1: the show or did you not watch the show? And
Speaker 1: I'm sure micheldon just walk out of Limo saying Hi,
Speaker 1: I love ice cream, Like, no, you probably watched the
Speaker 1: entire season, made notes or looked on our Instagram something. Um.
Speaker 1: It just was very contradictory and he's like, no, they're
Speaker 1: just notes like nothing that would like ever make it
Speaker 1: seem like I'm have like going to hit an agenda
Speaker 1: when honestly that was all that was a full document,
Speaker 1: full detail like I mean Excel spreadsheet status like front
Speaker 1: and back, talking about how many pages women do you think? Um?
Speaker 1: Probably U at least eight friend back Ryan, release the notes.
Speaker 1: The world needs to see these, Believe me, honestly, I
Speaker 1: don't think you actually do. I wish I had taken
Speaker 1: pictures of it Heal and Field because because Jason was
Speaker 1: listed on one of them, Zach was listed, Jason was listed,
Speaker 1: Multiple people were listed. Also. He wrote out just mind
Speaker 1: you because it was supposed to be you know, he
Speaker 1: was going on the bachelott He was writing notes just
Speaker 1: to help him right, So it wouldn't really make sense
Speaker 1: to write what my dream girl is and have I
Speaker 1: don't know six other celebrity women that look nothing like
Speaker 1: our bachelorette is that you know, maybe a red flag
Speaker 1: oh one thousand percent. And you know the part that
Speaker 1: got me the real kicker for me, where this entire
Speaker 1: time I was I was like, this guy is going home,
Speaker 1: like there's no way. The part where he had to
Speaker 1: write out like his flaws, He's like, you are arrogant,
Speaker 1: you are this, you are that hold it in. It's
Speaker 1: like that to me seemed so off. And maybe it's
Speaker 1: just because I listened to like a lot of weird
Speaker 1: crime podcasts and read a lot of it into that,
Speaker 1: like it really rubbed me the wrong way. When Michelle
Speaker 1: was reading it out loud, I was like, oh, no,
Speaker 1: him home, honey. I mean like, say he wrote that, okay,
Speaker 1: or say he didn't because he said that his friend
Speaker 1: wrote it out. The fact that his friend is even
Speaker 1: writing you are arrogant, you are all of these things,
Speaker 1: isn't that also an issue? Maybe you should be like, shit,
Speaker 1: you really feel this way about me? Maybe I should
Speaker 1: work on myself a little bit. Yeah, yeah, maybe queen
Speaker 1: on a very popular reality TV show, it's in the
Speaker 1: bestment right now. I don't know. Yeah, it was just
Speaker 1: really strange. Yeah, I'm glad though that she At first
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, she's just gonna walk him down
Speaker 1: and maybe keep him around and see where this could go.
Speaker 1: I'm so happy that she just nipped it in the
Speaker 1: bud and it was done. He was out of there.
Speaker 1: Did he get to drive his ice truck home? No,
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure he didn't. I think at that point
Speaker 1: it was like, no, sir, no more plays for you.
Speaker 1: You gotta go. Another guy that stuck out to me.
Speaker 1: Maybe it's just because it's another Minnesota guy was Joe,
Speaker 1: which I found that entire interaction throughout the evening very
Speaker 1: interesting because I was trying to take myself back to
Speaker 1: the mindset of like when I was Michelle Night one,
Speaker 1: I was in a very similar situation where I had
Speaker 1: a guy also from Minnesota, who I knew we actually
Speaker 1: had hung out in a group setting several times, come
Speaker 1: on the show, and I sent him home even before
Speaker 1: the rose ceremony. I mean he was only there a
Speaker 1: couple hours because I was like, we know each other,
Speaker 1: weren't in the same circles, Like, and now you want
Speaker 1: to date me? Because why I'm the bachelor at this point,
Speaker 1: Like it just raised a lot of red flags for me,
Speaker 1: and I just kind of assumed Michelle would have done
Speaker 1: the same. But you can tell when she was taking
Speaker 1: him she's very intrigued by him, very intrigued by Joe Well.
Speaker 1: I mean she and minuted like she was like I
Speaker 1: slid into your DMS, like I was actually interested at
Speaker 1: one point. So I think that she really just kind
Speaker 1: of wanted to explore that. I also I understand that
Speaker 1: it was kind of like a it was a really
Speaker 1: tough year and a half two years, especially for people
Speaker 1: in Minnesota, and my heart goes out to everyone, and
Speaker 1: so I was really touched by what Michelle had said
Speaker 1: to Joe, like, Hi, if anyone gets it, it's me,
Speaker 1: Like you just had to say the word, and I
Speaker 1: would have been the most understanding individual. But I think
Speaker 1: that I'm really proud of her actually for giving him
Speaker 1: a little bit of a chance and kind of exploring
Speaker 1: it just because you never know, you don't want to
Speaker 1: leave a situation being like, shoot, I actually wasn't to
Speaker 1: that guy, you know at some point, and yeah, there
Speaker 1: was a little bit of a red flag and he
Speaker 1: kind of ghosted me. But I think she would have
Speaker 1: thought about it. I'm not gonna lie. I think she
Speaker 1: would have kind of said I wish I would have
Speaker 1: given a little bit more of a chance, and I'm
Speaker 1: glad that she did. Overall, she has a great looking cast.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you every single year, the cast but is
Speaker 1: do not do them justice? And honestly, all of these
Speaker 1: guys are so tall too, and what is going on
Speaker 1: and where these men come from? I mean she had
Speaker 1: football players, basketball players, like guys that was Nate is
Speaker 1: six eight, okay, m man, and that's not the only
Speaker 1: guy with hype. It was crazy like looking at one point,
Speaker 1: I think it was like the beginning clip of the
Speaker 1: Rose ceremony. You know, when all the men are lined
Speaker 1: up and there, it just looked so wide because there
Speaker 1: were so many big, tall bodies, like which I understand
Speaker 1: usually that's the case, but it just looked like I
Speaker 1: was like, how many guys does she have? This is
Speaker 1: like it looks like people filling up this big bass ballroom.
Speaker 1: She she she got, she got a good crew here.
Speaker 1: I'm excited to get to know them more and to
Speaker 1: see them more. I can't wait. Um, I mean, did
Speaker 1: you know any other I have to say, like, I
Speaker 1: think this group of guys, everyone is going to really like,
Speaker 1: they're really fun. They are down to like really challenge
Speaker 1: themselves and put themselves on the line like for comical relief,
Speaker 1: and it's just they're great. They're really great guys. So
Speaker 1: I'm excited. And with that, I think we should just
Speaker 1: bring on the man of the hour because we saw
Speaker 1: him get the first impression rows we saw him come
Speaker 1: out of the limo. He was the first man out
Speaker 1: of the limo. As you said, he is six eight
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, like, he is a tall, big man,
Speaker 1: but he still also came across as just very kind
Speaker 1: and sweet and kind of just like took it all in.
Speaker 1: Like he seems like he had a calm in presence.
Speaker 1: Especially for Michelle. She was all eyes on this man.
Speaker 1: So I think we just have to bring the one
Speaker 1: and only Nate to Bachelor Happy Hour. Hi, Nate, it's
Speaker 1: great to meet you. I don't know, I mean you
Speaker 1: obviously notation because you saw her throughout the season. I'm Becca,
Speaker 1: but welcome to Happy Hour. It's awesome to be here, Nate.
Speaker 1: We are so excited to have you on. Obviously, this
Speaker 1: is the start of Michelle season, so you are the
Speaker 1: first men from her cast of guys to join Happy Hour,
Speaker 1: so you're really set in the tone here, so we
Speaker 1: can't wait to pick your brain. We saw you. You
Speaker 1: were fresh out of the limo, the first guy to
Speaker 1: meet our queen Michelle and the first guy to get
Speaker 1: that first impression Rose. So now knowing that Night one
Speaker 1: is over, we've all begun to see Michelle's journey. How
Speaker 1: are you feeling. I'm feeling great. I'm feeling great, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's totally good. I'm excited to see how how everything
Speaker 1: unfolds and to kind of just watch with everybody else. Okay,
Speaker 1: so I know I was there, Nate, but I still
Speaker 1: as much as I wish I had, like, you know,
Speaker 1: a little microphone on all of y'all, and I can
Speaker 1: hear every single word that you guys were saying. I
Speaker 1: couldn't hear everything, but you came. Well, I guess I'm
Speaker 1: gonna I just want to get to know you a
Speaker 1: little bit more so? Were you a fan of the
Speaker 1: show before coming on? So I'd only watched one season
Speaker 1: when I first moved to Austin. One of my coworkers
Speaker 1: and friends used to have like faschelor watching parties. One
Speaker 1: and only season I ever watched UM and you know,
Speaker 1: just just meeting new people within the company that I
Speaker 1: was working for UM. And so it was a pilot
Speaker 1: Pizze season. That's all all I really knew about it.
Speaker 1: That's actually interesting. We do ask most of our guests,
Speaker 1: you know, how they got on the show, whether it
Speaker 1: was them applying themselves or if a friend send them up,
Speaker 1: or if it was casting. But it's always interesting because
Speaker 1: we get a mix. We get we get people that
Speaker 1: you know, we're fans and had watched seasons and knew
Speaker 1: a lot about what already went on, you know, in
Speaker 1: past seasons and in the spinoffs and everything, and then
Speaker 1: we get people like you that you know, you maybe
Speaker 1: watched one season, you don't know all that much. Do
Speaker 1: you think coming on like only seeing one season, do
Speaker 1: you feel like that helped or hurt you in any
Speaker 1: way going into what all is you know on a
Speaker 1: full season, because there's a lot and I know some
Speaker 1: people are like, oh you should know intel, and we
Speaker 1: people like Ryan who have pages and pages of research
Speaker 1: of what to do and what not to do and
Speaker 1: what you shouldn't say and do. Um, So how do
Speaker 1: you feel coming in, Like, were you like, I'm good
Speaker 1: not knowing a lot of Yeah, it was good not
Speaker 1: knowing like a lot of like all the ins and
Speaker 1: outs and whatnot. But I mean, at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, like I kind of just figured that as
Speaker 1: long as you are who you are, like, there's like
Speaker 1: what like just be yourself, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: So I kind of like I didn't know what to expect.
Speaker 1: I didn't have any expectations. I was just like, let's um,
Speaker 1: let's do this. Let's see if if Michelle not connect.
Speaker 1: If we connect, great, If we don't connect, I'm not
Speaker 1: forced to be here. I can leave it anytime I want,
Speaker 1: because I was super hesitant. Right. Look, it took me
Speaker 1: and it took me a while to actually like sign
Speaker 1: the contract and actually like say okay, yeah, I want
Speaker 1: to do this. Like it took it took a lot.
Speaker 1: It took a long time for me to be like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, it was such a weird thing and
Speaker 1: like it's not like I applied to be here, like
Speaker 1: the story of how I even got in contact with
Speaker 1: with with Matteaette. It's kind of like I kind of
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, I'm not doing it, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, tell us about it. I want to know. Oh,
Speaker 1: long story short. Um. I like to go out a lot,
Speaker 1: and when I go out, it's more for like the
Speaker 1: networking and met people. I just love making friends whatnot, whatnot.
Speaker 1: So I went out on a Friday, I met this
Speaker 1: guy named Mike Um and he texted me the next
Speaker 1: day while I was out again. Um, I was at
Speaker 1: I was at this kind of like pool party with
Speaker 1: UM with my really good friend from college. And so
Speaker 1: he texts me, He's like, hey, man, I met you
Speaker 1: last name that last night. My name's Mike. UM. I
Speaker 1: think we should hang out. Like I just moved Austin
Speaker 1: like a month ago. I want to make you friends
Speaker 1: and I just like your bobs. I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure. Well I'm actually at this pool right now.
Speaker 1: Um pull up whenever you want. Here's the ads. So
Speaker 1: remember I only met the guy the night before and
Speaker 1: so now we're now hanging out getting to tell each
Speaker 1: other better. And he's like, man, like, how crazy is
Speaker 1: it that? Um, somebody actually reached out to me from mashelarette. Um,
Speaker 1: they do filming on X date. But I'm actually taking
Speaker 1: my bars out. He's a lawyer, so I can't do it. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just gonna send them your profile. I
Speaker 1: was like, you know how to do all that? It's
Speaker 1: kind of crazy. He does it anyways, And um, I
Speaker 1: get reached out to apply. I'm like, Nope, not gonna
Speaker 1: do it. Not gonnapply. Like I'm just I don't know
Speaker 1: much about the show. But I was like, it's not
Speaker 1: really my personality. I'm kind of more like a I
Speaker 1: don't know, this is more of a private person in general.
Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah, there's there's not a chance.
Speaker 1: And so, um, long story short, UM got reached out
Speaker 1: to again. I was okay, I'll throw out the application.
Speaker 1: What's the worst that can happen? And then fast forward
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, we want you here and I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think I'm so And then they
Speaker 1: were like wait what and I was I called my mom,
Speaker 1: called my family, called my friends, and long story short,
Speaker 1: was like, you know what, what's the worst that can happen? Um,
Speaker 1: you know, Chelle seems like a really great person, and
Speaker 1: either we're gonna really hit it off, We're gonna connect,
Speaker 1: We're gonna have a lot of common um and and
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be like the best case scenario, or
Speaker 1: it's gonna be two people were great people, but hey,
Speaker 1: we just don't connect in that way. And I just
Speaker 1: like the sounds like I'm hell hostage. I can leave
Speaker 1: at any time on one right. So um so yeah,
Speaker 1: I just went into it with no expectations, just wanted
Speaker 1: to be myself, see what happens, and next you know,
Speaker 1: it was it was it was really awesome experience. That's crazy.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. Our stories gonna sound a little similar.
Speaker 1: Like one of my girlfriends was actually wanted to be
Speaker 1: on it. She's like, I'm just I don't want to
Speaker 1: do by myself. I'm just gonna send yours too. And
Speaker 1: I got the phone call and she didn't unfortunately, I
Speaker 1: mean against too. No, she was actually so happy for me,
Speaker 1: which is nice. But another one of my girlfriends also
Speaker 1: nominated me, so it was just kind of odd and
Speaker 1: they don't know to it's weird, but that story kind
Speaker 1: of sounds very familiar. I like that. So so now
Speaker 1: your friend, this, this new friend Mike is probably like
Speaker 1: Nate owes me. Yeah. Yeah, so they're a nice bottle
Speaker 1: of one or something. Yeah, I know he's super supportive
Speaker 1: though you Actually, I think I was him all the time.
Speaker 1: Great guys, So I think he's like, you know, what
Speaker 1: I might have to I might have to apply myself
Speaker 1: now that I'm like done in reflecting. Yeah, this is
Speaker 1: for example. So he's now aficianly lawyer, so yeah, sign
Speaker 1: him up. So coming in, you know, because Michelle was
Speaker 1: announced back in March, so everyone was aware she was
Speaker 1: going to be the bad store at coming up. Was
Speaker 1: she somebody that you were intrigued by, that you were
Speaker 1: excited about. What did you want in a partnership, you know,
Speaker 1: whether it was with Michelle or anyone else. What were
Speaker 1: you hoping to get out of it. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: like I guess what I was looking for. Something that's
Speaker 1: like really outgoing. Um, somebody who you know can like
Speaker 1: kind of be a part of me and my group,
Speaker 1: and I can be a part of them in their group,
Speaker 1: and like everybody can kind of mesh well together. And
Speaker 1: I just like, like I don't really take life too serious.
Speaker 1: I take life serious when it needs to be taken serious, right,
Speaker 1: but like just like the ins and outs, Like I'm
Speaker 1: just like a really laid back, kind of quirky, corny,
Speaker 1: go with the float type of guy. But again, I
Speaker 1: kind of didn't want to put I just don't believe
Speaker 1: in like setting expectations or I'm not setting expectations, but
Speaker 1: like going into something expecting something. I mean, at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, like I've only watched one season
Speaker 1: I've ever done TV type of stuff like this, so
Speaker 1: I was like, let me just go in there, take
Speaker 1: a day by day, you know what I mean. Like
Speaker 1: even during the quarantine period, I wasn't really focused on
Speaker 1: like day one. I was just like, Okay, right now,
Speaker 1: it's quarantine. When I get to day one, we'll go
Speaker 1: to day one. But right now, let me just enjoy
Speaker 1: my time in quarantine, you know, like I just I
Speaker 1: just don't think too too far and the kind of
Speaker 1: set like those um or try and like guess how
Speaker 1: things are going to be. I just wanted to be
Speaker 1: like as organic as possible so that it can actually work.
Speaker 1: If it is going to work right right, Well, let's
Speaker 1: dive into last night because there's a lot that happened
Speaker 1: in the first episode, and now that it's all out
Speaker 1: in the open, we can talk about it. And I'm
Speaker 1: excited to hear what you have to say. But as
Speaker 1: former bachelottes, we know how long and and I mean
Speaker 1: how long Night one is, how exhausting can be, and
Speaker 1: how nervous you get. So how is it for you,
Speaker 1: um did you have any idea that you would actually
Speaker 1: be staying out till the next day, till about ten
Speaker 1: am eleven am filming Night one? No clue I was
Speaker 1: told I was gonna be a long night. I was
Speaker 1: not expecting that, but it was still still something that's
Speaker 1: like fun to like reflect on and like kind of
Speaker 1: just look back. You know, it is just a memory
Speaker 1: that you're definitely going to hold on for the rest
Speaker 1: of your life. So were you nervous. Well, I was
Speaker 1: terribly nervous. Oh my goodness. And you were the first
Speaker 1: man out of any of the limo entrances, Like you
Speaker 1: really set the tone and A did you feel like
Speaker 1: you were going to be the first one fresh out
Speaker 1: the gate to meet Michelle? And after you met Michelle,
Speaker 1: what was that first impression interaction between the two of you, Like, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I had no idea. So we were in the limo,
Speaker 1: was like the four of the guys that ran the
Speaker 1: limo and why we work to like I don't know.
Speaker 1: We we came to the conclusion that this is the
Speaker 1: first one up, and I was like, Okay, that's exciting
Speaker 1: that it was a little nerve wracking, but it's exciting.
Speaker 1: And the way that we were sitting the order. I've
Speaker 1: been third up, so I was like, okay, good, Like
Speaker 1: I gotta watch these first two guys go, you know,
Speaker 1: get to see how that goes, see how long it's
Speaker 1: supposed to be, Like it's like a thirty second conversation,
Speaker 1: it's a five minute competition. I have the idea. So
Speaker 1: I'm perfectly like, I'm gonna be able to watch these
Speaker 1: two guys do their thing and then I'll I'll I
Speaker 1: see how the process is. Maybe I can like calm
Speaker 1: down the nerves, because I swear I was shaking and
Speaker 1: she's standing right there too, like you see her, she's right.
Speaker 1: And then last minute we get rearranged and I'm first
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh God, like this is this is nerve wracking.
Speaker 1: So I get out quickly adjust myself. I'm looking at
Speaker 1: Michelle and I just remember just blacking out, like just
Speaker 1: everything that was coming on with no idea, and I
Speaker 1: think I introduced me. I was just like staring at her.
Speaker 1: I think I interrupted her and was like, wow, you're
Speaker 1: just so beautiful. I couldn't, you know, just it was
Speaker 1: just it was just like this crazy moment. And yeah,
Speaker 1: I remember feeling like I was like walking away from
Speaker 1: her while she's still talking. I was like, what am
Speaker 1: I doing right now? I'm just watching? Well what they
Speaker 1: don't prep you for. I remember on our season of
Speaker 1: The Bachelor, you know they put you all in the limo.
Speaker 1: I thought it was going to be and this is
Speaker 1: me just being naive, like because I'm also from a
Speaker 1: small time episode, I had no idea what TV world
Speaker 1: was like. I was like, Okay, you pull up in
Speaker 1: the limo, there's gonna be one camera, a couple of lights,
Speaker 1: and that's it. I didn't realize it's lighting all around.
Speaker 1: It's cameras all around. You have so many people standing
Speaker 1: in the back watching and making sure everything is going
Speaker 1: the way it should. Like it's a full obviously, it's
Speaker 1: a production. Like it's massive, and so I don't think
Speaker 1: they prep any of us for that. So it's you know,
Speaker 1: you're not only seeing Michelle this like stunnying goddess of
Speaker 1: a woman in this beautiful gold dress, but you're also
Speaker 1: seeing all this other stuff happening, and you're like, how
Speaker 1: am I supposed to be charming and trying to alert
Speaker 1: when everyone's listening in. It's a lot to take in
Speaker 1: that first night. I know, it's definitely a lot. Like
Speaker 1: you're kind of just like like thrown into this this
Speaker 1: new world and it's just like, hey, go do your thing.
Speaker 1: It crazy. Yeah, it's definitely crazy to kind of take
Speaker 1: in and process all while trying to like have a
Speaker 1: conversation with like the stunning individual so and stay focused.
Speaker 1: It's a lot. Yes, we were you one of the guys,
Speaker 1: because Caitlyn and I were laughing so hard. None of
Speaker 1: y'all knew where to go after leaving the platform, like
Speaker 1: you were supposed to walk around the foulain and go
Speaker 1: into the hotel yo, with ten different directions. Were you
Speaker 1: one of those guys? I don't remember one hundred one
Speaker 1: of those guys. Because that's okay, So you're gonna talk
Speaker 1: to Michelle, then you're gonna turn that on the right
Speaker 1: side of the stairs. I literally did exactly when you
Speaker 1: told me to. I was just walking around like I
Speaker 1: don't like it just looks so funny. You're just like, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: and then you go commit to that and then no,
Speaker 1: no, no no, no the other way you're like, okay, you
Speaker 1: guys looked so hilarious. God, and we couldn't help you.
Speaker 1: We were just laughing behind the bushes watching you. Did
Speaker 1: you guys know Caitlin and I were there by the way, Well,
Speaker 1: I had no idea idea that he always watching you. Um,
Speaker 1: what was your first impression of Michelle's speech when she
Speaker 1: came back into the room. I feel like she was
Speaker 1: just gliding down those steps. I'm surprised, like no one tripped.
Speaker 1: I would have eight shit walking down those stairs. But um,
Speaker 1: she like glides down those stairs. And gives this beautiful
Speaker 1: first speech. What was your first impression of that? Um, Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: it was awesome, right, Like, like obviously she talked about
Speaker 1: her family, Like something I really stuck out to me
Speaker 1: was talking about her parents being together for thirty three years.
Speaker 1: And that's that's goals, right, Like, that's just beautiful. Like
Speaker 1: I said, that's what like everybody aims for. Nobody aims for, um,
Speaker 1: you know, getting married and soon after getting going through
Speaker 1: a divorce, right, And so I'm saying that I'm listening
Speaker 1: to it. I'm like, that's so beautiful. That's definitely like
Speaker 1: what I'm looking for, Um, is that the relationship that bond.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, okay, so here I am. My parents
Speaker 1: got divorcing. I was for my mom and my stepdad.
Speaker 1: They just recently went through a divorce within the last
Speaker 1: like two years, and I'm like, dang, like I can't relate.
Speaker 1: I want to relate, but I can't relate. And so
Speaker 1: I was Actually I think that's like one of the
Speaker 1: first things that we talked about together was I just
Speaker 1: kind of opened up a little bit about my family dynamic,
Speaker 1: Like I have such an amazing family, but the whole
Speaker 1: like that that happily every ever after and like, um,
Speaker 1: you know marriages that don't end in divorce. I just
Speaker 1: wasn't a part of um of kind of like me
Speaker 1: growing up and and whatnot. So I was I was like,
Speaker 1: I think our first conversation together was just talking a
Speaker 1: little bit more family, because it was definitely a little
Speaker 1: like nerve racking, right, Like she's like this crazy family
Speaker 1: oriented person. She has that perfect example from her parents,
Speaker 1: and I guess I didn't really have that, so UM,
Speaker 1: it was a little like intimidating at first. I just
Speaker 1: wanted to get off my chest. You kind of saw
Speaker 1: that in your guys, this first conversation where you're like no,
Speaker 1: no, no no, I don't really want to dive into this,
Speaker 1: or like I really don't want to talk about it.
Speaker 1: But um, did it feel good to kind of have
Speaker 1: hers like, no, this is like what I want you
Speaker 1: to talk about and it doesn't scare me away, like
Speaker 1: I want to hear about your dynamic has that like
Speaker 1: quality um that like calms you down. She was like
Speaker 1: a really calming presence. It was nice, nice first conversation. Well,
Speaker 1: what I said before we had you on is that
Speaker 1: it seemed like you both kind of I like that
Speaker 1: you said she had a calling presence because I said
Speaker 1: that about you to her, Like you just seem you know,
Speaker 1: especially in the midst of so much craziness in Night one,
Speaker 1: where there's thirty plus men and you know, everyone's already
Speaker 1: kind of on edge and ner risk, you don't quite
Speaker 1: know what to expect. I felt like when you two
Speaker 1: sat down, it was actually a really beautiful thing, like
Speaker 1: as a view where I could tell she was drawn
Speaker 1: to you, and I feel like you both kind of
Speaker 1: just leveled each other out a bit in the midst
Speaker 1: of all that chaos, and just like we're very hyper
Speaker 1: focus on one another in those moments, which was special. Um,
Speaker 1: So I want to I want to ask you this too.
Speaker 1: You know you met Michelle, We had a great first
Speaker 1: impression of her. What was your first impression of most
Speaker 1: of the other guys, Like, did you feel like, like,
Speaker 1: did you feel like, okay, some of these guys you know,
Speaker 1: I can hit it with, like we can potentially become
Speaker 1: friends if we stick around, or were you just like, wow,
Speaker 1: this is a lot of different personalities stuck into one room.
Speaker 1: It was awesome, right, Like, I just I love meeting people.
Speaker 1: I love networking. I love making friends, like you know,
Speaker 1: like even how I got here is because I met
Speaker 1: a guy like twelve hours before, just like had a
Speaker 1: great time with him the night before, invite him to
Speaker 1: to where I was next day. Um so yeah, and
Speaker 1: especially being like the first guy out the limo, you
Speaker 1: got to see literally every single person outside of yourself
Speaker 1: come down, um and great guys like I know, like, um,
Speaker 1: I know that, like Rodney. When I saw Rodney come
Speaker 1: down as this big brolic dude and his arms popping
Speaker 1: out of the apple, I was like, guy, he's about
Speaker 1: things up, Like he looks like like an angry individual,
Speaker 1: but like we hit it off night night one, like
Speaker 1: Ronie used to helmey um Peter full of energy love Peter. Um. Yeah. No,
Speaker 1: it was that first night just getting you see all
Speaker 1: the guys as they're as they're coming in. It was awesome,
Speaker 1: Like no no guys that I was like, oh, this
Speaker 1: guy kind of sucks, like honestly, like like I think
Speaker 1: even during the row ceremony, like every single time Michelle
Speaker 1: called a name of a guy who, like I had
Speaker 1: like a genuine conversation with the God to know, I
Speaker 1: was like, oh yeah, like cool, I gotta like kick
Speaker 1: it with this guy a little bit before, you know,
Speaker 1: to see how things go whatever whatever. But yeah, so
Speaker 1: I love that mentality where you're genuinely excited to get
Speaker 1: to know people longer, you know, because at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, it is a competition, and you know,
Speaker 1: people don't want to go home right away, but they
Speaker 1: also don't want to they don't want to see other
Speaker 1: men stick around. So I'm glad that you said that.
Speaker 1: That's a really great way of putting that. Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: It was a really cool fun on first night for sure,
Speaker 1: just like because everybody's just excited, Like everybody's nerves are
Speaker 1: on cloud ten, everybody's excitements on cloud ten, and so
Speaker 1: like you have to just like kind of lean on
Speaker 1: each other on like how interesting the experience is. You
Speaker 1: just got thrown into this new world, and so like
Speaker 1: we're be definitely all vibe um sure, and it's a
Speaker 1: lot to adjust to, like right off the bat. Like again,
Speaker 1: like how you're kind of saying, no one really gives
Speaker 1: you any direction. You're just kind of like, hey, you're
Speaker 1: getting in the limo and go, And so I feel
Speaker 1: like just a way watching you guys all navigate it
Speaker 1: has been. It's always really fun because you guys our
Speaker 1: DOORCS number one. I remember watching Guys all on the
Speaker 1: couch and I was like, these guys are such fools.
Speaker 1: They're so funny. Like you see, you guys don't understand
Speaker 1: like your nervous twitches. Like you, I think you play
Speaker 1: with your thumbs. Don't you play with your thumbs? Oh
Speaker 1: I don't know. I probably play with my thumbs. Are like, oh,
Speaker 1: you you tap your knee, that's what you do. I
Speaker 1: like on my foot, like back. All of you have
Speaker 1: like these nervous twitches. It's so funny to watch from
Speaker 1: far away because like you're trying to like hold together.
Speaker 1: But really you guys were like freaking out inside. Um.
Speaker 1: But I think when you guys really started getting nervous
Speaker 1: was when the first impression Rose was kind of like
Speaker 1: sat on the table or put down on the table
Speaker 1: by Caitlin, Um, And you actually got the first impression Rose.
Speaker 1: So when you look at that smile, I look a smile, Um,
Speaker 1: did you understand the weight of what that Rose carries?
Speaker 1: Like in Bachelor Old Clue wasn't so I mean first
Speaker 1: impression Rose. I mean obviously you can assume that it's
Speaker 1: just boo. Michelle had like a really good first impression
Speaker 1: of right, yea like the world of Bachelor Nation. No,
Speaker 1: I didn't have a clue. I didn't have I did
Speaker 1: not have a clue. Wasn't until Brownie was my roommate.
Speaker 1: And so later that day he kind of he's like, man,
Speaker 1: that's that's a big time, Like you got the first impression, Rose,
Speaker 1: and you kind of told me just like, um, in
Speaker 1: this it's kind of like Bachelor Nation world. Just how
Speaker 1: I don't know. People people like to see who gets
Speaker 1: the first I guess, well, let me take you on
Speaker 1: a quick history lesson real, real fast. Um. Usually for
Speaker 1: batched Shorettes there is a really really good track record
Speaker 1: of whoever gets that first impression Rows is the last
Speaker 1: man standing who typically she gets engaged too. So I
Speaker 1: was bachelor back in twenty eighteen. The three Batchlorettes before me, Caitlin, Jojo,
Speaker 1: and Rachel all gave their first impression Rows to the
Speaker 1: men that they ended up getting engaged too. And so
Speaker 1: I walked in night one and they all told me
Speaker 1: that because I met them, and I was like, oh shit,
Speaker 1: no pressure here, Okay, it ended up being true. Um,
Speaker 1: I think since then it kind of went off the
Speaker 1: rails a little bit and Tasia really weird. Watch yourself.
Speaker 1: I grow, no, no, no, you didn't. You did not
Speaker 1: break it. I think Hannah Brown, Hannah Brown broke it,
Speaker 1: but you had Brown broken but but it went back.
Speaker 1: It was reset with Claire. But then you came in
Speaker 1: at a really weird mid season point. So you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't only have first impressions like I have had
Speaker 1: one Limo and my first impression did come from the
Speaker 1: first guy that walked out of limo. Though. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: but it does it, but it does carry weight especial
Speaker 1: especially in the bachelorette world. Um, just because I think
Speaker 1: our pickers as women are a little bit better. So
Speaker 1: it's a it's a big deal, I think. And you know,
Speaker 1: I'm assuming probably some of the men knew that. So
Speaker 1: you probably did have a target on your back at
Speaker 1: one point where the guys are like, oh, she gave
Speaker 1: it to him, We got to watch out for Nate.
Speaker 1: What was going through your mind? Did you have an
Speaker 1: inkling that she would maybe give that to you? Oh No,
Speaker 1: not not an inking at all. No, because really, like
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell you what like for for a very
Speaker 1: long time. I'm like, I blacked out so hard in
Speaker 1: our conversation's effort, I couldn't tell you what I talked about.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm like towards us, and she had already
Speaker 1: pulled Joe aside, and she that she had already pulled
Speaker 1: Ryan aside, and then she's walking towards me, and I'm like, oh, no,
Speaker 1: like what's going on right now? And to me and
Speaker 1: I'm like pointing to the guy next to me, like
Speaker 1: who are you talking to? And then she pulls me
Speaker 1: aside and we go upstairs and and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: first appression, this is nice, this is nice. Okay when
Speaker 1: she gave it to you, like where are you stoked?
Speaker 1: Like yeah, yeah, no, it was it was just like,
Speaker 1: you know, we got to kind of hang out for
Speaker 1: a little bit longer, but everything was just moving so fast,
Speaker 1: like it was, yeah, like I don't want to take
Speaker 1: in we and you not only got that, but I'm
Speaker 1: pretty sure you got the first kiss. Took this. I
Speaker 1: cannot we get even right now that first place I
Speaker 1: was that that caught me off guard because like I've
Speaker 1: never been that guy to like, you know, how crazy
Speaker 1: this is just like going for the first kiss Like
Speaker 1: that's that is nerve wracking, right, I've never been like
Speaker 1: too too smooth of a guy to be able to
Speaker 1: pull those off. Um, like what you see in the movies,
Speaker 1: like a smooth right, Like that's not I'm like, right, okay, date,
Speaker 1: So I'm not a smooth individual. And so so yeah,
Speaker 1: she kissed me and you see that like genuine reaction.
Speaker 1: While I was like I was not expecting that, but boy,
Speaker 1: am I ever happy? You know? I was like that
Speaker 1: was like genuine. I was like I was like, oh wow,
Speaker 1: like just kissed me. This is what a great first night,
Speaker 1: you know, And and like I remember right joke with
Speaker 1: her like like you just opened up like can of
Speaker 1: worms because like every time I see now I'm gonna
Speaker 1: want to kiss me. Connection was just like like I've
Speaker 1: never had sparks fly and and it sounds it sounds
Speaker 1: kind of like all weird to say, no, like like yeah,
Speaker 1: that that initial connection, it was like definitely sparks. So
Speaker 1: it's hey, you're talking to two girls that know what
Speaker 1: that feels like. So you're good. You're in good company.
Speaker 1: But um, we normally ask all of our guests on
Speaker 1: this show, what the rose and the thorn of their
Speaker 1: experience was. So since we're only talking about night one,
Speaker 1: we don't want to give too much away. Can you
Speaker 1: tell us what your rose and your thorn was for
Speaker 1: night one? Um? The Rose were definitely just having like
Speaker 1: those those moments with Michelle. Um, you know, the first
Speaker 1: impression Rolls was really cool, but but like just having
Speaker 1: like those moments with Michelle and actually like getting that
Speaker 1: first like I guess because because I know, I know
Speaker 1: nothing about it and I know like the very bare minimum,
Speaker 1: and I went into this kind of like you know,
Speaker 1: Michelle is looking for somebody, but I'm so am I right,
Speaker 1: and I think I think you ask me, um, and
Speaker 1: not like there's no names that come to mind, but
Speaker 1: if you asked me, it's kind of like this already,
Speaker 1: Like Michelle was the most perfect person and she's perfect
Speaker 1: for me kind of mentality with some of the guys,
Speaker 1: and I was just like that sounds really nice, but
Speaker 1: like we we all are kind of like at point one,
Speaker 1: like we don't really know her just yet. And so
Speaker 1: that's how I was with this whole thing, is like
Speaker 1: I want to generally get to know this girl and
Speaker 1: see if like like we can actually mesh right, and
Speaker 1: it was it was like the conversation that we had
Speaker 1: in the moment that we had that I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: like you know what, like I could see something here,
Speaker 1: I could see's like it's really easy to talk to
Speaker 1: this girl. You know, I'm nervous this heck Like it
Speaker 1: was just it was it was a really refreshing conversation
Speaker 1: for me. And so that would definitely be the rose
Speaker 1: of night. Is just like like noticing and realizing that
Speaker 1: you know, and maybe they're maybe maybe this this is
Speaker 1: like this was a good idea for me and to
Speaker 1: of to come here, right. And then the thorn. That
Speaker 1: was a great night. I don't know what the porne
Speaker 1: would be. It was long, it was long. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: have to be the thorn. It was, it was, it
Speaker 1: was it was a long it was a long night.
Speaker 1: But um yeah, and like zero complaints, zero complaints. I
Speaker 1: love them and I can't wait to see how your
Speaker 1: journey unfolds. And usually with all of our guests, we
Speaker 1: love to play games here in about our happy hour
Speaker 1: and we've obviously now had the pleasure of getting to
Speaker 1: know you a bit more, but the rest of the
Speaker 1: guys on a season are still a bit of a
Speaker 1: mystery to us. So you are privy too much more
Speaker 1: information than us at this point. So in order to
Speaker 1: learn more about the rest of the guys on this season,
Speaker 1: we're gonna play a little game called the Rose Goes

Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll see a lot more of Peter to come.
Speaker 1: But it's just this is what we love. This is
Speaker 1: why we love doing the podcast, because we get to
Speaker 1: know you men for who you are a little bit
Speaker 1: more than what we see for two seconds on the
Speaker 1: big screen. So we were so happy to have you
Speaker 1: on today, Nate. We're so happy to get to know
Speaker 1: you and to really just set the tone for the
Speaker 1: rest of the season. Yeah, no, no, this is this
Speaker 1: is a lot of fun. This is a lot of fun. Well, good,
Speaker 1: we see more of you. Hopefully you get a stick around,
Speaker 1: Take care and we'll talk to you later. Hey, thanks
Speaker 1: for having you guys. Thanks say tuxy bye, Tasha. I'm
Speaker 1: so glad to have you back. I'm so glad we
Speaker 1: were able to have Nate on. He's such a chill dude.
Speaker 1: I mean he really is just like this, like cool, calm,
Speaker 1: collected dude, like you would think. I guess you can
Speaker 1: kind of expect that from him. Huh, well, I guess.
Speaker 1: I mean, well that's why I would have had no
Speaker 1: idea how we had him on today, But now I
Speaker 1: can kind of see, like it makes sense when and
Speaker 1: here instead of they like him and Michelle kind of
Speaker 1: balanced each other out and are like these calming presents together.
Speaker 1: I get it, especially not even with Night one, which
Speaker 1: is chaotic in itself, but like going through a whole season,
Speaker 1: it's a lot to take in. And so if she
Speaker 1: has someone like him to Lena, I could really see
Speaker 1: it working out. Yeah. Well, I'm so happy to be
Speaker 1: back on Happy Hour. This was super fun and I
Speaker 1: can't wait for the best of the season ten fold.
Speaker 1: You guys, it's going to be crazy. There's so much
Speaker 1: that's going to happen. One thing that I am excited
Speaker 1: for is, well, we're kind of not so much in
Speaker 1: a bubble that much anymore. We have some fun guests,
Speaker 1: we had to travel a little bit, we got to
Speaker 1: shake things up. It's going to be super fun. It's
Speaker 1: going back to how seasons used to be. And I
Speaker 1: think it's been so interesting to see the dynamic of
Speaker 1: how Quarantine really shifted the show. And you know, you
Speaker 1: experienced firsthand when you were in your season, like living
Speaker 1: in that bubble. But I think the fact that you
Speaker 1: now will be able to travel to some new places
Speaker 1: and just have that change of pace, I think we'll
Speaker 1: just breathe new different life back into the show, back
Speaker 1: into Michelle, back into the men that are on her season.
Speaker 1: So I can't wait to see how it all unfolds.
Speaker 1: I'm excited. I mean, I know you spend some time
Speaker 1: in Minnesota, that's no surprise. I cannot wait to just
Speaker 1: see my hometown, the spots that I grew up in.
Speaker 1: It's just going to be very nostalgic for me. One
Speaker 1: thing that I will say I'm very interested to see,
Speaker 1: and it's only because I had a conversation with Michelle
Speaker 1: before she left is and she even said this, I
Speaker 1: think night one. She's not like a super emotional person.
Speaker 1: She's not one to really cry and break down. And
Speaker 1: that's something that she told me before she left, is
Speaker 1: she's like, I don't know if I'm going to be
Speaker 1: able to get there and like have those moments. And
Speaker 1: I laughed and I was like, Michelle, I love you.
Speaker 1: You will cry, and it's going to happen a lot
Speaker 1: sooner than you think. I was like when I was
Speaker 1: bout short, I was like, I'm not going to cry
Speaker 1: for a month. I'll be good. And I was like
Speaker 1: day three I was crying. I was like, it will
Speaker 1: break you down in ways you never thought possible. And
Speaker 1: you know, we do see some tears in the teaser
Speaker 1: to come not only with her, but with some of
Speaker 1: the guys too, So I just I'm excited to see
Speaker 1: how everything unfolds. Obviously, I never want to see anyone
Speaker 1: like really sad and down and crying, but I think
Speaker 1: that's what's going to get her to the end of
Speaker 1: this and like, you know, hopefully really find a lasting partner.
Speaker 1: You have to go through all of the ups and
Speaker 1: the downs that this show carries with it and just
Speaker 1: go through all of the motions and feel everything to
Speaker 1: make it so much more worthwhile. So yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I try not to breathe any spoilers or know what's happening,
Speaker 1: so I truly have no idea who she ends up with,
Speaker 1: if she ends up with anyone. So I'm just going
Speaker 1: in blind and I can't wait, you know someone It's
Speaker 1: more so it's gonna be fun to have you want
Speaker 1: to pick your brain. Honestly, It's gonna be a little
Speaker 1: hard for me to kind of like keep a you know,
Speaker 1: straight face. But I was at the same time, there
Speaker 1: are some things that like I was in Privy too,
Speaker 1: Like I was telling Nate, like I didn't get to
Speaker 1: hear all the ins and outs of every single conversation,
Speaker 1: so it's gonna be really fun for me too to
Speaker 1: kind of like put the pieces together and try to
Speaker 1: like paint this picture for you guys. But it's gonna
Speaker 1: be fun, and it's gonna be fun having you alongside me. Station.
