• 0:19
  Speaker 1: And today we have a very special guest who might

  Speaker 1: know a thing or two about this season. The host
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: of the show, Jesse Palmer, is joining us right now.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Hello Jesse, Hello sir. How are you. I'm doing well? Man,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: I'm doing really good. You're busy right now. How you're
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: holding up? I'm holding up good. Stomach feels great. I've
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: been in Mexico for a while now shooting Bachelor in Paradise,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: so digestion is at an all time high. Doing well.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I cannot complain. It's been It's been a lot of
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: fun down here in Mexico and obviously really excited about
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: July eleven for the premier of Bachelorette. Man, you you
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: hit the ground running. I want to start by We've
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: talked about to before on here, but I want to
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: kind of mention it again. Uh, you did just get married.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Uh filming for the Bachelor happened fairly soon after that.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Is your wife able to travel with you, She's able
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: to come out for for short fursts of time, and
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: that is critical to our marriage and a success of
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: that so far in these early stages. Um, it's been
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: really nice through Clayton Season, throughout the Bachelorette, even down
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: here in Paradise, Emily has been able to come down
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: for uh, for for sometimes weeks at a time, which
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: has been really really great to have her company and um,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: just so she doesn't forget what I look like and
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: vice versa. Yeah, I mean, how are you navigating? I mean,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm a newly wed myself. It comes with its amazing, amazing,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: beautiful moments and times together, but it's also challenging because
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: you're kind of figuring out what life looks like. How
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: are you navigating newly wed life while also being on
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: the road. Great question, It's it's really for me, it's
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: always been about one day at a time, I guess,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: and just trying to focus on, you know, that day
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: and whether it's at home with Emily or whether it's
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: on the road filming. You know, we just sort of
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: try to take it and stride. Um. We're really enjoying
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: this process. To kind of add to the complexity of
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: everything that's happening in our lives professionally. We also just
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: moved to Miami, so we're in this new home and
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: we're trying to get it decorated and we're buying this
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: furniture and I've I've been home like six nights and
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: three months, and so, like, you know, it's also that
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: So it's just about trying to find time to to
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: you know, FaceTime each other as much as possible and
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: and interact and get her down here as much as
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: we can. Um. But I gotta say, you know, maybe
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: it's because we're still very new at this whole marriage thing,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: and we've still got a lot of energy and we're
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: still like, you know, very excited. But it's actually gone,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: it's gone quite well. It's gone pretty well, and we're
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: just handling it in stride. What are some of the things,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: like the characteristics that she shares that helps you do
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: this kind of with a free mind, focus on your
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: job and not you know, because none of us are
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: our best and we're feeling guilty or burdened by something.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: So what does she do for you to concourage you
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: during this time? Yeah, that's a great question. I think
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Emily is really good, um at just sort of giving
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: me the mental space to sort of put my best
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: effort into doing this or ESPN or whatever the job is.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: She sorts. She sort of knows that my work is
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: a big part of my life, and I think she
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: gives me space that to sort of do that. Um.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I think we know that balance is obviously a really
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: really important thing for us, and it's really critical that
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: we find the alone time for just her or not,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: whether that's home in Miami or if that's going to
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Brazil to go see your family or traveling somewhere just
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: getting away and turning our phones off. You know, having
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: that happy balance I think is really special. Um. She's
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: she's that the person that knows like, okay, like if
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: you're off the clock and you're not working, we need
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: to be right here. Like I can't see I don't
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: want to see on the phone, I don't want to
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: see you face on and people are doing whatever that
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: that has something to do with work. But one thing
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: I really appreciate about Emily is that she does give
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: me the space to do all this because in my
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Maslow's hierarchy of needs in the pyramid, work is pretty
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: high up. It's important to me, and it's you know,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: this is something I love doing, and I take a
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: lot of pride in what I do and I want
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: to be the best that I can be at it,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: and she gives me the space and allows me to
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: do that. If that makes any sense, it makes a
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: lot of sense. I mean it's important. And you know,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: nobody that's a fan of The Bachelor is unfamiliar with
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: the time commitment that it takes. Uh, you know, especially
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: for the contestants. They get to hear about it. Uh
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: after their season's film. Contestants come on, leads come on
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: and they say, hey, that was wild, Like we were
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: up till ridiculous hours in the morning, up really early
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: the next morning filming again. It's it's you know, months
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: of shooting. You know, for the host, I don't think
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: we get a great picture of your time commitment. So
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: if you don't mind, kind of walk, let's do paradise.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Since you're there right now, you're familiar with what does
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: your daily routine look like? So this is I would say,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: And because of course I'm so new to this and
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's like this every year. I
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: can only talk on my personal experience, but what I
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: would say, Paradise at least is a much more intensive
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: shooting schedule than say The Bachelor Bachelorette. I feel like
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: here in Paradise, we're filming every day, and I have
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: a role somehow somewhere in most days of filming. Sometimes
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: on the Bachelor Bachelorette you might get a day or
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: two days off in between a rose ceremony and maybe
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: a group date or something where you're not needed. You're
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: always on standby and literally you're on call if they
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: need you to kind of run in, um, to help
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: put out a fire or do whatever you got to
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: go do that. But I'd say here, uh, it's basically
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: every day, and um, a day could be four hours,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: a day could be fifteen hours down here. Um, the
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: rose ceremonies here in Paradise just as long as the
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: rose ceremonies on The Bachelor for the Bachelorette. So, UM,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I hope I won't get in trouble by saying this,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: but uh, I wrapped one ROAs ceremony down here at
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: like six am, six thirty am. I don't think people
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: can watch this and see the sun coming up. Nobody
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: shocked those like last out, Like dude, it's like the
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: cocktail party. Like you're you're in the palapa and you're
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: like kicking off the cocktail party at like like right
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: as it gets dark at like and then all of
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: a sudden, you know, you look down and it's it's
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: five am, and you know you're you're your tink tinking
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: and trying to get everybody into the set up for
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: the rose ceremony. So these are definitely very long days.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: They're just one after another after another. Um, So I
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: have I have a tremendous respect not just for the cast,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: but the crew and these cameramen and these ops and
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: lighting and producers and everybody that have the real hard
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: jobs out in the sun and like a hundred degree
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: weather all day, wrong days, every day for a month.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, it is brutal. And what they do, the
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: job they do, the people, the hundreds of people, and
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: you've seen this. They're literally hundreds and hundreds of people
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: to get on planes and fly places to make this
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: show happen. What they do to me is amazing, and
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I think I have a much I have much more
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: of an appreciation for them after watching them do this show.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Because this this this is a unique beast in itself.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: It really is. Yeah, I I remember Jesse. I think
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: we were in the Bahamas during my season, and there's
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: men and women behind the scenes that are working, like
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: you said, tirelessly on making sure that the content is
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: being filmed. There was a moment it was really hot
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: and two of their um I won't say their names,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: but it was a man and a woman. They're they're
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: kind of working together doing the camera and then the
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: cameras assistant. And it was so hot that they took
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: off their shirts and they were ringing out the sweat.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I still just from dripping because you're carrying I don't
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: know how heavy these cameras are, fifty pounds, forty pounds
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: on your shoulder for hours. Now. They love doing it.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: This is what they've wanted to do there, you know,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: but like and they do it with joy most of
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: the time. But it's a hard job. It's so true,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: you know, it's so funny you say that. I was.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I was taking a golf cart this morning with one
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: of our camera ops and she was telling me about
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: filming recently on one of the seasons she's been on.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: She's been on working on the show for a couple
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: of years now. Um, she loves doing it so much
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: so that she was pregnant and still did it. She
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: was carrying these cameras around and luging all this equipment.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: She's like five six months pregnant, and she just loved
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: She just loved being out here doing it. And I
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: mean she just didn't want to be away from and
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: obviously she was able. She told me later that she
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: took some maternity leave and she was able to get
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: away and sort of settled down and make sure everything
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: was in order. But it's their credit too. I think
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: that's what makes this so much fun, is that it
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: really does feel like a family. I don't know how
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: you felt about what you did, but what I've sort
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: of learned in these last couple of seasons is that
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: it's the same. Like I love seeing the same faces
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: behind the cameras and the same person setting up your micre.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: There all are a big family. They travel the world,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: and they work these insane schedules all throughout all throughout
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: the year. They have to give up things and sacrifice
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: things with their own families and being back home to
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: make this whole thing even possible, and so it really
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: really is amazing. It is uh. And we won't say
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: any names, but they do share with me it is
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: a family. They give me hugs when I come back,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: which makes me feel very loved and accepted and special.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: But I do know that filming Paradise is easier than
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: filming a show that takes place on an island on
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: a different network, in the middle of the jungle with
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: snakes and gaiters and everything else. We won't mention the names,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: but they do tell me that this is a lot
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: better and a lot easier. Jesse, I do want to
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: walk into then this season of your life you have now,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: you're not completely done with paradise, but you you get
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: a good grasp of what paradise is. You've done a
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: bachelor season, a bachelorette season that we're gonna talk a
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: lot about here coming up. Uh, and you are familiar
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: now with paradise and how that works in films. Uh.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Is it more than you thought it would be? Is
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: it less? Are you stressed? Are you having good time
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: with it? Just? Where are you at now that you
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: kind of get an understanding of this whole bachelor universe again? Yeah,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: I'm really having a good time with it. I think
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: it sort of goes back again to just trying to
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: itemize each thing and doing one thing at a time.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: It started with Clayton season, and my focus was just
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: on Matt and that was a real big learning curve
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: every single day, you know, hosting that show for the
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: first time and sort of reacclimating to the Bachelor verse
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: and sort of being in it and kind of understanding
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: that role and trying to feel comfortable doing it, trying
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: to be authentic doing it UM. And then into Rachel
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: and Gabby season, there were there were a few subtle
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: differences and I think you know that that you know
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: that came about with that and that was its own
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: learning curve as well. And obviously Paradise Paradise to me
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: feels like an entirely different show Bachelor Bachelor that, at
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: least to me sort of felt like they sort of
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: mirror each other. This one, in particular, I think is
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: is kind of a different animal um which was which
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: is good in a lot of ways. I think it
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: feels fresh, it feels new, Uh, it sort of allows
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: you to be a little bit more re energized going
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: into it. UM. You know, I feel like it's nice
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: having little breaks of time in between each show, um,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: which has definitely helped. But I've really just tried to
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: sort of be present in the moment, uh, throughout each one,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: and for me at least, I really feel like that's
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: helped me a lot because this whole year, this whole
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: year of these seasons of shows has been uh eye opening,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: and it's been uh, I've learned a lot. I've just
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: tried to not talk a lot and just sort of
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: watch and and try to learn and figure it out
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: and ask a lot of questions. And I'm just having
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: a blast, Like I love it, like to the point
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: where I can't wait now for the next like Bachelor,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: like I can't wait for the next show whatever it is,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: just because it's like I'm having so much fun doing it. Well,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: that's great to hear because it is a lot, and
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: you could easily have walked into this the whole world
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: and then a year later been like, this is not
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: what I thought it was, this is what am I doing.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: It's been it's been good. It's been good. Like what's
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: helped me too, is there are a lot of familiar
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: faces here from when I was the Bachelor fifteen years ago,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: and so I think that the family atmosphere here has
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: really helped helped me feel and everybody has been so great.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: They've been so nice and welcoming and helpful. So I'm
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: sort of internally grateful for that, and just you know,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: for people support at home and online and Battel Nation.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Everything has really helped me along tremendously throughout all this. Yeah,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: you know, it's uh, and we won't go into any diesel,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: but it was just a it's a it was a
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: big transition for a lot of people, right. Uh, it
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: was a legacy and then Bill and then a whole
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: new thing. What are you doing to kind of add
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: your own flavor to the show? A show that is
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: for years and if you talk to the executive producers,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: like it has a bread and butter, it knows what works,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: it knows what doesn't. How are you adding your own
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: you know, mixed to this show? Yeah, people people ask
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: me that sometimes, and I don't know what it is
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: specifically I'm doing. All I'm trying to do is just
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: be authentic and real and me. But you're absolutely right, then,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: like this thing is formulaic, Like there is a formula,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: and it's a set formula and it's sort of it
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: works every year, and so it's you're trying to sort
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: of put yourself in that and fit into that formula,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: and you know the role you have, But you know,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: I just want to be me, and I don't really
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: know what that is. Like. I'm trying to be compassionate,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to show empathy. I'm trying to give advice
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: when when called upon an asport. The biggest thing I
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: don't want to do is make it about me. That
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: That's one thing that's always in the back of my
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: mind as I do this. This is not about me
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: at all, and I don't I never want to sound
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: as if I'm trying to make it that it's about
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Clayton and his cast. It's about Rachel and Gabby and
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: their casts and their journeys to find love. And and
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: it's to use like an awful sports analogy, it's like
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: being a quarterback or a point guard and you're just facilitating.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: You know, you're you're you take the ball, you told
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: them what's going on, you give them the ball back,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: and you get out of the way. That's really what
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to do and fit in the formula as
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: best I can. I guess that's it, And I mean
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: I think that's important too, because if you tried to
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: make it about you or control it, it would be
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: found out very quickly, right, I mean when the show
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: brought out a new host, Uh, it was important that
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: somebody had I guess the humbleness and the lack of
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: ego to not say no, this is my big moment.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: ABC's calling, this is my time to shine. Well, it
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: brings me into then, uh, my final question kind of
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: my my overall arcing questions, and we'll get into the
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: gabbing Rachel's season here. Uh, you're the host of this
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: show now, you have been for a year. You agreed
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: to do it for multiple reasons. But do you believe
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: in it? Like, do you think this can work or
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: is it just a really cool time or do you
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: see this actually bringing about anything good to the world.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: I believe in it, you know, And I believed in
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: it when I did it fifteen years ago, and in
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: the time I've been watching since then, I still believe
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: in it. I think there's a lot of examples of
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: of couples and beautiful love stories and diverse love stories
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: that have come from this show. Um, does it work
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: every single time? No, it doesn't, Um, and we obviously
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: know that. But this show is about giving people an
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: opportunity to find love in a very unconventional way. And
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: I think, UM, what people are going to see what
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: they saw sort of on Clayton season that was that
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: was a love story that we had never seen before.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: It sort of went off the rails, Um. But at
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: the end of the day, you know, Clayton and Susie,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: you know, they're they're together today and they're happy, and UM,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: you know, and it's it's that's really to me, what
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: what it's it's about. And I think they're going to
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: see that on Gabby and Rachel's season as well. They're
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: going to see these beautiful love stories sort of developed
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: with all different types of people from different backgrounds, um
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: and and so I do. And that's that's part of
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: why I think as a host, you keep coming back
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: to do it, or hopefully you keep coming back to
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: do it, is because you want to see it happen again,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: and you're hopeful and you believe that it can happen again.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: And UM and I do believe in it. I really
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: do at the end of the day. Wow, we have
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: so much to talk about with Jesse. We have to
