But the photo doesn't do him justice. 75 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 2: That's what I'm trying to say, is his photo does 76 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 2: not do him justice because it makes him look so tiny. 77 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 4: I feel like, oh, it kind of looks like he's 78 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 4: leading his butt on a stool. 79 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 2: That's not It's not fair to him. 80 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 4: Okay, you're always looking out for the guy's heights, just 81 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 4: to let you all know, they tend to be taller 82 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 4: than they appear on TV. It's just like the opposite 83 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 4: of Hollywood when it comes to the Bachelor of Bachelorette. 84 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 4: So this guy was thought to be engaged to Lana 85 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 4: del Rey. It does not seem like they were engagement 86 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 4: was ever like really confirmed, but like she was wearing 87 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 4: an engagement ring on Jimmy Fallon and then she has 88 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 4: this ring on in this photo. 89 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,239 Speaker 3: That we're seeing of them kissing. 90 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 4: This was back in December twenty twenty, and apparently they 91 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,479 Speaker 4: broke up during like that quarantine time. 92 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 3: It was apparently a rough time to be. 93 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 4: Isolated together and we don't know like a ton about 94 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 4: their relationship. One commenter said, like, leave Clayton alone. They 95 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 4: broke up, Like how is this messy? And another one 96 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 4: said that I'm a friend of his and he broke. 97 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 3: Up with her and it's like over and it's not 98 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 3: a big deal. 99 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 2: She's like married now is she? 100 00:04:59,279 --> 00:04:59,359 Speaker 1: No? 101 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 2: She's oh yeah married and you know it's goodness, Like, 102 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 2: give the guy a break? Is he not supposed to 103 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 2: ever date again? 104 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 3: So I think the question is actually more so is 105 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 3: he a cloud chaser? Is he just want to be 106 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 3: in this for the fame? 107 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 4: And that friend who was commenting under the photos said 108 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,359 Speaker 4: something along the lines of he like signed up for 109 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 4: the Bachelor years ago. He's been getting asked to go 110 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 4: on the Bachelor for years. He's a friend of mine. 111 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,600 Speaker 4: I love seeing him try a new a route. 112 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 2: So the moral of the story is, we don't know 113 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 2: for a fact that he was engaged to Ana del Rey. 114 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 2: We assume, and it seems like it's pretty spot on 115 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 2: that he is. But that was years ago and now 116 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 2: he's on her season. Ashley. As we close out the 117 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 2: Frankie Friday, there is one thing that was said in 118 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 2: one of the videos. They've put so many videos out 119 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 2: now of the cast that it's hard to keep track 120 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,600 Speaker 2: of it all. One of the cast members said that 121 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 2: he had been to more countries than cities in the US. 122 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,039 Speaker 2: I just I don't know how that makes sense. 123 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 4: More countries and yeah, that doesn't make sense. There's absolutely 124 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 4: no way that that's possible. 125 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 3: You know what it does for me, Ashley, It makes 126 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 3: you think he's a liar. 127 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, red Flag kick him off Night one. 128 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. 129 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 4: Wait, there's also something really worth noting about this guy, 130 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 4: kind of burying the lead here. 131 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 3: He's a singer songwriter from Nashville. As we know. 132 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 4: Producer Heather had that very intense theory that she ends 133 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 4: up with a singer songwriter because he she has a 134 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 4: song narrating one of her reels from It was late December, 135 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 4: early January, and it was from It was from a guy. 136 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 4: But like the on Instagram, you won't know who the 137 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 4: artist is. It's not like something that's it's an original audio. 138 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 4: So the thought is that possibly this guy is the 139 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 4: singer songwriter that she ends up with. We also thought 140 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 4: that there was like something about Nashville. 141 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 2: Nashville, they're good people that grow up in Nashville. 142 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, it could be that. And if he is a 143 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 3: cloud tracer, he was the one. 144 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 4: We're getting to a lot of theories here, okay, and 145 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 4: they were all producer Heather series because she's got a 146 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 4: really great creative mind when it. 147 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 3: Comes to this. 148 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 4: Her thought is that Taylor is going to end up 149 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 4: with a guy that she's already been seeing, because there 150 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 4: has been some speculation that in September she was like 151 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 4: casually seeing someone, and her theory is that this guy 152 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 4: that she was casually seeing comes on the show either 153 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 4: the beginning or midway through or something. So if you 154 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 4: put all the puzzle pieces together, she might really have 155 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 4: a theory here. This could be a guy that Taylor 156 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 4: was dating and then she ends up with him, and 157 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 4: then she uses his original audio as the back round 158 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 4: of that rate. 159 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,239 Speaker 2: They want to be unlike The Bachelor, to make somebody 160 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 2: who's a front runner. 161 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 3: Look like the cloud Chaser. 162 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 2: No, not great in his photo. 163 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 4: I was gonna say it's very Jordan Rodgers of them 164 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,239 Speaker 4: to be like, look this guy is out for frame. 165 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and look where that ends up.
