• 2:14
  Speaker 3: because Perfect Match. What a riot? What a riot? Man?
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Okay, we're gonna start with this again. We're breaking down
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Perfect Match here on the Almost Famous Podcast because we
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: do want to spice the Almost Famous Podcast up a
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: little bit, break down some newer like reality television shows.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: We're not going away from the Bachelor. We are Bachelor committed,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: but we thought Perfect Match was a great entry point
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: for us because we do have two bacheloration contestants on
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: this reality show Easton. We're gonna break down the first
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: episode right here. But a few weeks ago, we had
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Rachel as our co host on the Almost Famous podcast
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: as you remember. Yes, at that point in time, we
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: had watched the trailer kind of preparing for her to
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: be the co host and ask her a little bit
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: about Perfect Match. I want to hear your opinions on
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: your like on Perfect Match and its relation to Bacheloration.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: It feels like two totally different like hemispheres to me.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: It doesn't feel like I watch Perfect Match. And I
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: told Jess as much as I want to be a
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: guy that could be on that show, like and say
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: the things they do and look the way they look,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: and I don't fit on this show at all.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I would like to see on that show,
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: but for for reasons, I'll get into my personal background.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: I am not a reality TV watcher. I know The
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Bachelor because of my work, but I don't I haven't
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: seen a lot of the shows that these these heroes
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: are from on Perfect Match, and I have not watched
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: the first two seasons a Perfect Match. So I was
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: going into this so cold, and I think it's really
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: I think the activities the games makes really exciting and
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: really fun different. I do think this show is much
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: hornier than The Bachelor is. I know Bachelor in Paradise
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: is different, but like, I was surprised at how physical
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: everyone was getting so quickly, and let me tell you,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: I loved it. I wanted to see more. I'm excited
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: to see what happens next. And also this being a
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Netflix show, this is like a Netflix multiverse thing. We're
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: bringing in people from Bachelor, bringing people from CS to Key.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: I'm excited to see how those people mesh with the
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: with the Netflix people, because there's definitely a flavor to
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: each one. And yeah, I mean the you know, I'm
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: going to be anchored a lot in the Bachelor people
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: there on this Rachel and Clayton, because that's who I
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: have the most the longest relationship with everyone else is
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: kind of new to me. Yeah, It's It's a fascinating idea,
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: and I think Nick lache is a great host, and
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: I I just love the idea of people having to
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: become like American gladiators while they're also like making out.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: That's something that's really exciting to me.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: It feels like to me, I had a lot of
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: hesitancy when iHeart asked us to break down perfect match.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: I am not a reality television guru. I feel like
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: I could claim that I know about as much about
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: The Bachelor as anybody else in the world because of
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: my experience on The Bachelor and my long standing relationship
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: with the show. I don't necessary I would never claim
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: to be a reality television person. I don't watch a
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: lot of reality television, so I was hesitant. I'll just
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: say this Easton. I mean, I binged a lot of
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: episodes because I was enjoying it. I started out almost
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: this makes me sound like a prude, but it's not
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: like I was almost started the episode one disgusted, like, Wow,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: this is so horny. People are picking things off of
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: each other without even knowing each other's names. Yeah, they're
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: sleeping in the same beds a couple hours after meeting.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: And then I got into it a little bit more
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: throughout the episode, and I started to really engage and say,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: I like the concept. Now, are you a Netflix like
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: reality show fan? Do you watch any other shows?
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: No, I haven't seen them. I'm familiar with the concepts,
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: but I have not watched any of the Netflix like,
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: I haven't watched like what would that be? Too Hot
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: to Handle? I think and Ultimatum. And it's interesting at
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: least because I only watched The Love Is Blind. I've
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: only watched the first episode of Perfect Match because I
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: followed the homework to a te I watched the first episode,
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: nothing more. But I think it's interesting watching the contestants
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: bring the in my opinion, the attitudes of the shows
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: that they originated on to like the guys from Too Hot,
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: the guy from Too Hot to Handle, He's like, I
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: am I want to have sex, I am here to
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: have I am attracted to people, and I think I
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: am attractive. I can't wait to bone down. And then
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: like Clayton, for example, is like, wow, we stayed up
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: all night talking and like someone who it comes from
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: a show where you build a relationship that you're hopefully
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: going to end in an engagement. You know, I thought
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: that was kind of interesting.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: So we were always honest here. If we don't like something,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: I think we feel free to say it. Oh yeah,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: would you categorize Perfect Match episode one as something you like? Yes?
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: I would. And that is again from someone that I'll
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: be honest. I watched Bachelor Winter Games because I knew
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: like half the cast, like personally, and I was like,
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: I can't I can't do it, man.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: I got Yeah.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: I saw there's a part where Ashley was like sliding
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: down a snowy hillside like on her butt, and I
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: was like, I can't do this.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, it's tough.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: But I enjoyed Perfect Match. I'm going to watch the
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: rest of the season. I had a lot of fun
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: and I think it's a really fascinating show and I'm
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: excited to see how these people navigate these obstacles and relationships.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I enjoyed it. I think a big reason why
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: I enjoyed it is because I was able to follow it.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: As not a fan of Perfect Match. I was able
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: to tune into episode one, and by the time that
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: episode was done, I was like, I know what this
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: show's about, Like I get it. Yes, I understand it.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: I know the characters, i know how new characters are introduced.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: I'm familiar with the format, and I enjoyed that because
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: it didn't feel like I was playing catch up at all.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: Yes, definitely, they really make it accessible for people that
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: are jumping in now.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah's as simple as can be. I mean, if you
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: can't track this episode, you know what, Like it's just
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: dirty television. Like if you can't get on this, like
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: you might want to figure your life out. So here's
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: how we go. For those that don't know what Perfect
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Match is. It is on Netflix. The series features contestants
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: from other Netflix reality shows, along with obviously shows not
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: on Netflix. I don't know if Rachel and Clayton are
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: the two first non Netflix people on Perfect Match. Our
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: producer is writing in saying it is a first. We're
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: in season three now, so three seasons in the first
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: time anybody outside of Netflix has come into this universe.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: It shows couples pair up to compete in challenges is.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: They compete to formulationships. The most compatible couples then play matchmaker,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: breaking up other couples and sending them on dates with
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: brand new singles they'll invite into the villa. The series
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: is hosted by Nick lache As Easton said, great host,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: really fun for this. I feel like he fits it well.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: It is entertaining. Let's start with the entry of Perfect Match. Easton,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: you want to take it away?
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's The intro was very cute, a little kind
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: of like produced bit of a nick lache, looking like
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: Castaway's like Tom Hanksey sitting on a beach, looking like
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: he's been there.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: For a while.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: He's lost on it as a island. He's talking to
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: a coconut, not unlike Wilson the volleyball in the award
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: winning film. And he gets a message in a bottle
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: that reads, it's time the moment I've been waiting for coke.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: And then he says, Coco, we're out of here. And
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: so I'm assuming he was marooned on this island. But
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: now he's gotten the call. He's headed to Tuloom. He's
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: got to make love happen. It's time for a perfect match.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Ten of the sexiest singles from around the world then
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: show up to this villa. Now Nick calls them ten
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: of the sexiest singles in the world. I think they
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: are ten of the most forward singles, and maybe nine
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: of the most forward singles in the world. I do
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: feel like Clayton did not work or does not fit
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: this show at all, because he is there for a wife,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: and I think everybody else is there for just a
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: fun hookup, like a reason to share a bed with
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: somebody as quickly as possible.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was something I was trying to like kind
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: of talk myself through as I was watching it, is
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: that I I am so in Bachelor World. So I
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: was like when people were talking about the matches and like, oh,
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: I think I found my person, and I'm like, oh
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: my god, they're going to get engaged. How fun? And
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: then I kept remind reminding myself, like the prize is
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: you get to go on a vacation, I think, And
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: so maybe they don't, like maybe they just want to
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: have sex and spend time with this person, they don't
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: want to get married to them, and yeah, I don't know.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: So it's interesting because I too, just like Clayton, I
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: had to break myself of that at that mindset.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: In your opinion, do you like this more or less?
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: Much more? This is much more realistic?
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Okay, yeah I think it is. I think it's
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: much more relatable for the average watching nobody's watching perfect
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Match being like how could you not make out with
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: that human? Or how did you make out with that
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: human twenty four hours? If nomen it's like, well, you
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: know that's happened in our life before. Whereas you know,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: the Bachelor World, I do think has this huge hurdle
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: to prove to the audience that these people actually are
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: in love and want to get married.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Yes, exactly. So ten of the sexiest singles from as
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: Nick said, from around the world show up and they're
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: trying to find their chance at love. I something I
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: thought was interesting as they film the like, god, there's
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: a term for it. They'll like interview segments where there
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: where they contestants are them I TM, so in the moment,
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: is that what that stands for?
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, look at me. I'm just like I was there
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: getting a rose myself as they're when they're filming the ims,
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: it's they start with this really wide shot where they're
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: sitting in front of like a rainbow rainbow corridor is
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: not unlike the Netflix logo, and uh sitting in a
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: chair and to me, like the angle was very off putting.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: It's like at crotch level. That really wide shot just
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: made me feel like they're just alone in a warehouse
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: talking to It kind of bumped me a little bit.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: But uh, I thought that was kind of interesting and
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: we kind of get to we get introduced to a
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: few of the couples as they enter the villa. One
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: of the first guys is Louis from Love Is Blind
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: and I Ben was texting last night about this guy.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: I have a legit, legitimate question about this guy. I
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: think he's actually a really fun hang and look, I
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: watch him, like, you're like so many of my friends.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: You are like funny, you know, you are young and
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: just excitable. The thing that stood up to me was
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: he continued to talk about how large of an asset
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: he had in his pants.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Like I can't remember exactly what he says, but he
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: comes out the gate just talking about how big a
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: hog is.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: And I feel like so my question to the group
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: last night was, if somebody talks about how big of
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: a hog they have so often and consistently, you would
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: assume that it's not very big, right.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: That's what I would assume as a as a hog
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: honing man, I would assume the more you hear about
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: how big it is, the smaller it is.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're proving something to somebody. You're you're saying it
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: hoping that nobody actually ever has to can never prove
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: that it's true. Again, I enjoy him as a character.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: I question his I question his confidence in himself when
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: it comes to his ability to impress anybody else on
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: that beach. I'm going to make the assumption Easton that
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: everybody there is well endowed because they look like they are.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: There's stuff like they're all right. He's also very insecure
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: about his age. He kept bringing up everyone can ask
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: him how old he was. He's twenty three years old,
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: and he's like, I'm a full grown mind. Don't talk
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: about how old I am. You know he's Yeah. So
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: I'm interested to see how his confidence plays out throughout
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: this show. But we're going into it, I'm feeling like
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: he's very insecure, so I jumped ahead. I'm sorry. Louis
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: just caught my eye originally because of how he introduced himself.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: But he's not the first one to arrive. The first
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: one on the beach is Ad and Sandy from Love
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: is Blind. Sandy is from The Ultimatum, and I enjoy Ad.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: I like her a lot. I think she's a lot
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: of fun. I think I think she's very attractive, and
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: she wants a tall, muscular guy with huge features, and
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: Sandy wants a bad boy on the outside and a
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: softy on the inside.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of innu windows going on in the
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: entries of these contestants. There you can tell right away
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: what kind of show we're getting into. This is a show,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: like you said that are just a couple of people
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: showing up the beach to hook up.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: Yes, exactly exactly. They're trying to set the stage here,
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: like this is a show where it's gonna be people
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: having sex and hanging out. If no one's getting down
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: on one knee, at the end of this show, they
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: might be getting down on two knees.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Been not one. Ady and Sandy, we have Louie and Cody.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Cody is from Temptation Island. He is a Southern gentleman.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: He says he knows he's a catch, which if you
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: listen to the show before you know, I always go
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: if you say you're a catch, you've got some things
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: about you that might make you not a catch le
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: if somebody else tell you you're a catch. Cody thinks
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: he's a catch, and the girls love his Southern twain.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Cody again comes from one of these. He comes
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: from a universe that is like so sexually motivated, Like
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: like the point of Temptation Island is to like try
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: to get you to cheat on your partner, So you know,
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: I'm curious what his ambitions are here, but again reinforcing
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: what type of show perfect matches. And we've discussed Louie,
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: we will continue to discuss Louie. We can move on
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: to Lucy and Madison. Another Lucy, another brit from Too
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: Hot to Handle, and I thought she was fun, but
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: also she was like she was trying to describe herself
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: and her personality and she's like, I'm so fun. I'm
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: like the kind of like person you can get out
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: of your mind. I'm like a disease. I'm like a virus,
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: but like the good kind. And I was like, oh,
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: that's a weird way to describe yourself, but.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: I enjoyed it, especially on this show. It's very very
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: you know, you got to stay away from the disease talk.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: Yes, exactly, And we'll find out if Lucy is it
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: will become a super spreader event. Madison is from Love
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: is Blind and she loves a bad boy with tattoos
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: and she also drives a motorcycle. Madison's very cool. I
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: think Madison has a tattoo on her hand, which I
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: thought was interesting, and her belly and her belly. Yeah,
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: she's bull blasted herself.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, so far we have a trend. It
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: seems like the people coming on Perfect Match and the
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Netflix reality shows want a bad boy. Nobody's describing Clayton here, Like,
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: so far we have no Clayton describers, Right, I want
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: a guy to ask me about my virtual journey and
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: my biggest fears and what I want out of this.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: On Night one, they're like, I am here for a
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: bad boy. I am here for a tall, muscular man
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: with big features. These are not people coming in. Like
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: what I appreciate about them is they're not hiding anything.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: I think on The Bachelor you might have some people
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: that would fit on Perfect Match, they just choose not
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: to say it or it doesn't get aired at least
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Madison and Lucy so far and a d especially like
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: they're saying what they want and they're just having a
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: good time going after it.
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: Yes, exactly, exactly, And I think that's very interesting. And
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: also like when they're doing the ims and you can tell,
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: like the producer asks them like what are you looking for?
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: I thought it was interesting how little we were hearing
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: about like personalities, no, no, no, not at all. Something
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: else I was thinking about while watching this is that
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: I keep forgetting that because it's on Netflix, they can
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: like say bad words like they can say swear words,
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: and uh, I'm in my mind of when we record
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: the Almost Famous podcast. I mean, you guys, are you
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: and Ashley pretty clean? But like most of the time
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: I have to watch out in case you guys say
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: a bad word and after write it down so we
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: can cut it out. And I'm watching Perfect Match and
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: whenever they would say a naughty word, that part of
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: my brain would go off, like, oh I write that down.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: No I don't. I don't work on this show and
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: it's already done, so I don't worry about that. But
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: that's kind of fun. And I'm hoping that beyond beyond
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: the swearing, I hope we get some nudity on here too.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: I'm praying for that. I don't think I'm gonna get
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: it that. I don't see why not. It's Netflix. They
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: can show nudity. I don't think we're going to see it,
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: but they can if they want to.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: I think I think we saw previews for like, uh,
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: maybe Temptation Island or something, and I was like, that
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: feels like aggressive television to watch. Yes, like you are,
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: you are watching like without and I'm with you. I'm
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: in this Bachelor mindset where it's like this is on ABC,
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: like family watches together. And I have never seen a
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Netflix like reality show. So it is taking a little
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: bit to get used to just with what's being said,
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: what's being talked about, and what they can show and
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: not show. Just a side note here, Easton and I
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: would I would put myself into this category when it
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: came to the Bachelor when I did it. If you're
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: going on Temptation Island in the Perfect Match, can you
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: really say that you're a catch like you're going to
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: Like you're going on a show that you know is
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: set up for you to cheat on your significant other,
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: and then you're going on Perfect Match, a show that
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: you know is just like dating around as much as
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: you can to strategically get to the end. I don't
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: know if you're in a place in life to claim
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: that you are a catch.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: I have to agree with you. I think, yeah, just
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: by being involved with this show negates your catchiness.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately, Yeah, I mean I do think.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: So.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Okay, Daniel and Ali come in next. Daniel is from
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: Dated and re Related. Oh. I don't even know what
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: the show is, but it just sounds bad.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: I had never heard of Dated and Related and I'm
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: scared of what the show is.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: It's single siblings that go on a dating show and
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: then like date at the like so you're like sisters
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: in the same house with you.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: You have to date like in front of like your
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: siblings are there and you're like they're watching you date
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: and vice versa. It's like date my Mom. I remember
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: that show on MTV, like your mom would watch you
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: go on a date kind of.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to know the people that like come
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: up with these ideas. I don't love them, but yeah.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: He's an Italian stallion. He's tall, fit, uh and self
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: proclaimed very good in the bedroom. Ollie is a brit
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: from Love Is Blind UK. He's looking for a sweet, natured,
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: kind and funny girl. If she's a batty, it's a bonus. Easton.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Can you describe Battie to us please?
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: I was thinking about that too. Abattie is I think,
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: especially how Allie means it. I think he means someone
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: who is adventure I want to say aggressive, adventurous, uninhibited, attractive.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: I think if someone is described as a baddie. That
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: means they're attractive. Uh, that's how I would describe baddie.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: Okay, baddie. Juliet is next from MTV CS to Key,
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: so a non Netflix show. She keeps hinting at this
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: kind of toxicity that she displayed during her time on
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: cis KEY. I have no clue what she's talking about,
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: but I'm assuming that a lot of listeners out there
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: will know exactly what we're talking about. I think she
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: was a pretty polarizing also a pretty big figure on
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: CS to Key, very pretty. And finally we got Clayton.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Clayton dances his way into his intro package. The dancing
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: that's become something we know and love, and then I'm
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: hoping not only brings some joy but also allows him
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: some type of financial stability, because goodness gracious, this dude
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: is getting either made fun of a lot or celebrated
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: a lot for his dancing these days.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was trained, you know, dancing was such a
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: big part of his like intro package on this and
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: the last time he's been on the Almost Famous podcast,
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: he's talked about his dancing a lot, and I was
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: trying to remember, like did this come up at all
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: during his time as the Bachelor. I feel like this
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: was like a post bachelor thing that he like. And
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: then he says like, Oh, I've always loved dancing. I
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: used to dance as a kid. Now we get made
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: fun of. And then now he's an adult, he's like
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: rediscovering his love of dance. And he's a fine dancer
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: from what I've seen. You know, the passion's there.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's doing it on you know, he claims he's
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: doing it, And I do agree that he's doing because
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: he loves it and that he finds joy in it
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: and that it brings him happiness to know that he
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: can do it because he knows he's gonna get made
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: fun of, but he has the confidence to kind of
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: show the world he doesn't care, which, hey, I'm all
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: for it. Keep dancing, clar and dance your way into this.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: But we find him on Perfect Match again. Nick Lache's
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: the host. He comes down and as Easton mentioned, Nick
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: kind of explains during this that the winning couple wins
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: a romantic vacation anywhere in the world to continue their relationship.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: So if you win the Perfect Match, you get to
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: spend more time with your person from the show anywhere
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: in the world. I hope it's a good vacation. The
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: episode kind of transitions fairly quickly Easton into a game
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: that they're gonna play get to know you game. More
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: or less, nobody there really knows each other. There's a
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: few from similar shows, or maybe they watch somebody's show.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: It's called Let's Puck again. That's puck, p u c K,
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: Let's puck. It's fun game. They drop a puck down
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: a board. It lands on a specific category including like
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: yoga moves and truth and truth or dare or body shots.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's a good get to know you game.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: Like it definitely starts to fire out hot. But the
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: thing I'm missing here is as Nick comes down, he
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: starts asking questions. Clayton right away throws out more aggressively
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: than anybody else there, and I think this is part
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: of his strategy when it comes to Perfect Match and
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: his new revived Clayton persona is He says, I'm into Lucy,
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: like I like that girl. Right away he shoots his shot.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: Yes, I admire how because like again we've been talking
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: about how Clayton is a more emotionally connected guy on
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: Perfect Match than the other people, but I appreciate him
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: singling someone out right away as we play let's puck
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: and it lands on, it lands on body shots. And
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: we were talking about this off the air before we started.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: But this show, this show is filmed with very high
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: definition cameras and we're in twenty twenty five. We're using
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: state of the art stuff. And I know other reality
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: shows deal with this too, but we can really see
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: how people are feeling in the temperature and tu loom.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: Everyone is sweaty, everyone is glistening, and we get to
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: find out that that sweat goes all the way down
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: because when Juliette does a body shot out of Clayton's
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: belly button and she says to everybody, there was some
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: sweat mixed in there.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: And I just don't feel like that's a good start.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: No, it's not.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's like a thing that's fun for anybody.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: I don't. I have never met a human that's like,
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: you know what, I'm into sweat.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's yeah, it's gross, and even in the best circumstances,
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: you know, it's still kind of bumps me. It's salty
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: and weird.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: It's salty and weird, and it's and it's an excretion
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: things in our body that we need to get rid of.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: So it is it is a bodily you know, liquid
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: that comes out of our pores and does taste very salty.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: Juliette does not seem to love it quite honestly. I mean,
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: I think from the initial kind of comment she's like,
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: it was fine, but I didn't love what I tasted.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: So Clayton does drop the puck, gets a body shot
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: from Juliette. Next up is or Juliette drops a puck,
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: gets Clayton. Next up is Clayton. He drops a puck
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: and luckily for him, he gets Lucy and gets to
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: tease her. Is the category with an ice cube wherever?
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: He may like, Yeah, I thought that was interesting because
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: it just says tease with an ice cube, So I
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: was like, what what does that mean? Is it like,
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: are you gonna like wiggle the ice cube in front
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: of them or like that's honestly the first thing kid in.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: My mind, that'd be amazing a power move yep, well no,
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: no not.
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: But Clayton, Clayton knows what he's doing. He puts it
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: in his mouth and he drags it up her body,
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: and you know, like, I think Clayton is a goofy dude,
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: and but I thought this was I thought this was
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: pretty hot.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: And then he ends it by putting ice cube in
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: her mouth, and uh, I thought they were gonna end
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: up kissing. They don't. He just puts it in her
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: mouth and I think she starts chewing on it.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know if Lucy showed much affection towards
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: Clayton at any point this episode, even though he was very,
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: very forward in his interest to her. We also got
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Lucy and Cody doing a yoga pose. We got Adi
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: and Ali doing a yoga pose. Madison and Louie get
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: paired up again. We're getting netflixy here. Louie gets eats
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: a strawberry from between her breasts, and Daniel chooses Juliette.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: At the very end, he lands on truth or dare
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: dares Juliet to kiss him. They do kiss, really the
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: first like real kiss we have seen this season.
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: Yes, I mean, Adi and Ali do this like yoga
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: post thing, and they do lock lips a bit, But
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: when Daniel and Juliet kiss, it's a that is teetering
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: on makeout. If you ask me, there was tongue. That
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: was an intense, intense kiss in front of everybody. Everyone's
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: really riled up to to get physical here.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: Ollie really matches AD's description for us. She's looking for doesnty, Yes,
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: very much so tall, handsome, strong.
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: They they do I'm sorry, I can't remember. This is
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: later in the episode or not, but they do a
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: flashback to a d on Love is Blind, and h
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: I was blown away by the clip they showed because
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: it's like, it's it's a and I forgive you know,
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: forgive me. I've not seen Love is Blind. I don't
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: know how the show really works. But they're they're at
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: a wedding. It's a full blown wedding. They're at the altar,
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: she's in a wedding dresser, a guests and the guy
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: she's with they're like, do you take you know, I
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: can't remember what her full name is, but you take
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: Ad to be your wife? And he's like, I'm sorry,
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: but I can't do this. And I was like, wow,
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: what is this show? You get to do a full
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: wedding and the guy is like undecided still, And that's
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: the when you find out. I felt terrible for her.
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: I hope she she seems to be having a lot
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: of fun with with Allie here, but I feel so
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: bad for her having ended love is blind in that manner.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: That's crazy. Yeah, I think I think I watched that
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: clip and when this is even crazier television. And here's
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: my concern for myself Easton. The Perfect Match is going
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: to get me into watching a lot of reality television
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: because I'm gonna be so hooked on the craziness. The
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: fact that I cannot see myself there on this show
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: is also the same thing that makes me go, I
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: want to know about these humans that do agree to
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: go there on this show.
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: It made me wonder, like because the Bachelor does this,
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: like they'll do little games and stuff like that, but
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: like when you were the Bachelor, Like, did they make
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: you play a game where you like, did you have
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: to do like a truth or dair type of thing
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: or was there anything that made it physical for you
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: when you when you were on when you were the Bachelor?
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: Uh No, there was never that. Uh And and most
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: of the games were like very PG. In fact, I
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: think they were incredibly PG. And I think that's what
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: you get in like Netflix is, they push the limits.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: But for me, I would have felt very uncomfortable and
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: probably based on how I want to operate in life,
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: would have to say no to most of the things
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: I saw in the first episode of Perfect Match, Like
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: I would not be a good contestant on that show.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: I would be saying no. Somebody's like, hey, you roll
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: body shot, take a body shot off of them, be like,
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: I can't do it. Not my thing. It's not who
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: I want to be. But I respect and enjoy watching
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: people do it that aren't me. Yeah, I'm having a
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: good time with it. You know. At this point, I
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: think in the episode Eaeson, I'm learning that this show
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: is not about a future love connection. It is about
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: a partner to get through this process with. We get
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: through the game, it's a lot of fun. They get
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: to know each other very intimately, and then we kind
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: of get our traditional reality television cocktail hour where everybody
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: gets to meet and chat. A few things stand out
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: to me during this cocktail hour. One the couples that
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: already seem to be coupling very quickly, that does seem
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: to be at first, it does seem to be Daniel
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: and Juliette. I think, isn't juliet the one he sucked
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: the toes of Yes? Yeah, he's very into it to
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: second count, he could have gone twenty, no questions. He
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: and Juliette seem to have a spark. Clayton is still
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: going for Lucy. I don't see it happening Ady and Ali,
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: I think right away, I'm like, this is a couple
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: that could last, actually last, Like, I hope this show
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: doesn't break them apart because I feel like they've got
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: something special. It's that bachelor chemistry that's oozing through the screen.
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely, and during this cocktail hour, and I believe
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: this is when this happens. Leuis starts freestyling, that's always
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: to me. I don't mean to harp on Louis so much.
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: I'm interested in him. I think he's a cool guy
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: and I really love his energy. But like when when
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: guys start freestyling, it always gives me pause.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: And I agree it's a wild thing to do or
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: claim you're good.
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: At exactly, and I'm excited to see if he continues
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: to do it throughout the season. Is this the last
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: time we hear his freestyling? I'm hoping not as much
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: as it kind of bumped me. But but yeah, and
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: the toast sucking too, I want to go back to
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: because like they're on a beach, they're walking around. Man,
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: I don't I don't care how into it I into
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: somebody I am. It's gonna take a lot for me
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: to want to suck toes. I'm also there's another foot
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: part in this episode. Cody spills his drink on Madison
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: and she's like, oh no, my my Balenciaga is just
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: kidding their target and then like he's like cleaning it up,
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: and the camera like really zooms in on her feet
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: and they're taking it off, and I'm like, oh man,
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: what producer has like a foot thing on this show.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: I do.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: Think in that course of that Cody did mention he
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: would look at off her feet, and I think he did.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: She was kind enough to be like, I wouldn't do
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: that if I was you, Like, I don't think they're
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: in a good place to be getting licked right now.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: It's been a long day. I am in shoes, I
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: have walked the beach. You just spilt on me. There's
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: a lot of things going on down there that I
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: just would probably prefer you and you would probably prefer
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: not to taste.
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: Yes, exactly.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: Easton. Am I fair to say that when it comes
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: to these shows, any level of elementary hygiene lessons are
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: thrown out the window.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, especially the ones that like take place on the beach.
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: You're going in pools, you're going swimming a lot, you're sweating.
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: Most importantly, I think you really got it, row all
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: your expectations out the window. I know you you haven't
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: been in paradise, but like, I'm so curious, like is
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: everyone how much grooming do they allow?
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: You?
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: Are you able to not just allow, but like are
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: you able to do? Like does everyone just smelling like garbage?
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: And you have to like pretend like everyone looks good.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: That's my that's my hope and assumption. Yeah, yeah, my
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: hope is that everybody is so stinky all the time.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: I love the idea of that. I love the relatability
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: of that. I think on this show, you see a
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: long day of hot beach in a villa with cameras
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: and nerves. So here's what the thing. You know, Nervous
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: sweat is the smelliest sweat, and so nerves happening, and
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: so there is a lot going on. I'm also assuming
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: that they're not waiting thirty minutes after eating to get
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: into the pool.
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, be fair, that's fair to say. There's probably some
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: cramping going on.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I got assuming aches. Yeah, think about tummy eggs
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: that are happening Easton. We have some matches happening about
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: at this point in the episode. The matches so far,
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: Daniel and Lucy are the first to match. Ady and
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: Ali are the second. Sandy and Louis match kind of
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: a shocker, honestly, kind of came out of nowhere at
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: the time. Madison and Cody match, Juliet and Clayton match.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: Definitely the funniest part is the two of them like
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: like kind of wanting to match, but like also not
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: really wanting to match, and it's agreeing to match, and
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: it feels like there's no worse scenario than you're on
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: a beach set up to match with another human. It
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: is how you get through the night and to be
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: the last two standing like you definitely didn feel like
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: the rejects.
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: Right, absolutely, you are the people pick last in basketball.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: You are assigned to each other. You did not match.
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: That's bad times for Clayton. I think overall, Clayton's.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: Not having a good experience on the show so far,
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: but he's learning about himself as he goes, and goodness gracious,
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: with the years Clayton's had, we need him to get
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: a win. But he does kind of get into a
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: when the next morning when he says, Hey, juliet I
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: know we're gonna probably have to kiss today. Should we
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: just do it now? Should we just do it now?
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: That was okay? That whole scene they show everyone else
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: go into their rooms and implying and kind of showing
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: that they're having sex, like a lot of people are
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: hooking up, they're staying the night together, and then we
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: show Clayton and Juliette and it's it's clearly morning. They
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: could not be further apart from each other. He's like,
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: I guess we should kiss, and it's just like, goddamn.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is amazing. This is perfect guys. Nice job this, Clayton.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: What a way, What a way to enter into that
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: first kiss with this human that you are going to
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: spend at least a day with, is saying, hey, like,
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: guess we have to kiss today? Like, should we just
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: get out of the way now? I don't know if
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: that was game. I don't know if that was necessity.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: It was awkward, I will say as a viewer it
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: felt very uncomfortable for me and him probably, but they
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: do kisses an he's smart to do it. Because we
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: get our first challenge of the season. It's a big challenge.
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: It's a rowing challenge. They're kind of on a raft together.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: Each couple are, and they have to hold a card
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: in between their mouths as you row back and forth
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: to grab these cards and then drop them off. The
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: only thing you can use to touch the card is
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: your mouth, and so if you drop the card in
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: the water, you got to go back and grab a
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: new one with you with your mouth. It is a
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: very intimate challenge. It does bring these couples closer physically
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: then you know, probably they had been in the last
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: two hours since they woke up in the same beds
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: one night after meeting each other.
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: It's an interesting challenge because everyone on this show is
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: in incredible shape. Everybody's very fit. The guys are jacked,
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: the ladies are very toned. Like the first before I
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: realize kind of how the game worked, and they have
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: to like pull the rope they're having no problem with it.
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: But also I was like, what really like it took
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: me a while to understand the like card element. I
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: was like, are they just going back and forth on
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: this raft? But it's it's a lot of fun to watch.
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: At one point, Louis and Sandy just end up making out,
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: like they forget the cards completely and they're just laying
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: on top of each other just making out, which I
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: thought was was fun. We enjoy people giving into the passion.
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: Juliette and Clayton are when they're coming they they're going
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: for their first card and they're coming back and they're
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: Clayton's underneath, Juliet's on top. They're kind of sink the water.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: He's a big dude.
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: He's a very big dude. It appears his head is
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: extremely heavy and it's the uh the stern of that
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: boat is going is in the water, and I was like,
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: is Clayton going to drown?
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: This is crazy? He is I will say this. He
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: when he went to our event. I believe you were
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: there Easton when he came to an iHeart event with us.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: He is a massive man, Like there is no joke here.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: When I would say I am not a tiny person.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm a six foot four to two hundred pound
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: what I would say, you wouldn't want to fight me
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: in the streets, but you could probably beat me if
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: he tried. Type of person that's who I am. Clayton
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: is easily three times as big as me, like shoulder
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: with like huge Yes.
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: The internet says he's six' five and two hundred and fifty.
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: POUNDS i would argue bigger than that just based on
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: his Mond he's a very muscular. Man he's a huge.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: Dude this raft was not built for. Him their strategy
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: immediately starts to. Fail we start to get signs that
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: the two of, them even though they work together as a,
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: team maybe not as compatible as. Others but this game
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: is not about. Compatibility the team that wins Is cody
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: And madison win the. Challenge But madison here says one
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: of the most shocking shocking things that we see in episode.
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: One madison says she Likes, cody which is always a
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: nice thing to say about the. Person, again you just
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: spent the night WITH i like that, guy but he
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: his mouth is not the. Fit her favorite. Part he
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: needs a tongue scraper and. Mouthwash this is gonna last Him, Easton,
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: like this is not going. Away you claim somebody has bad,
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: BREATH i don't know if you can also claim that
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: you like them too.
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: Much, yeah that's. Brutal that's brutal to. Hear AND i
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: wonder if you're if you're we were talking earlier about,
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: like you, know what would it take to suck someone's?
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: Toes what would it take to endure the taste of?
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: Sweat but, like if you really like, somebody can you
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: ignore bad? Breath apparently that is a bridge too far
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: From madison and something THAT i REALLY i don't know
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: if you noticed this, Too, ben but SOMETHING i really
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: enjoyed about the rest of the episode is that after
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: she drops that, bomb there's a couple, moments there's at
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: least two Where madison And cody are like talking to
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: the camera and then they finish a thought and then
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: they kind of they don't zoom in On, cody but
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: THEY i think they boost his mic and you hear him.
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: Go but, REALLY i can smell it through the.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: SCREEN i can't get it out of my. Head she
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: ruined this, Guy she put a stake in him right,
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: there and then we knew this was not going to end.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: Well she. Ruined this poor, man this southern gentleman who's
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: going to try so hard to be a good, catch
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: has now also been defined by the guy that has
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: such bad breath that somebody on the show had to
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: talk about it on camera and announce it to all the.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: Viewership they do, win which means they get to go

• 42:36
  Speaker 2: HOW i want these dates to. Be, quick, painless, easy,
• 42:39

• 42:45
  Speaker 2: easton of this whole show happens. Next for, Me it's
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: the MOMENT i SAID i like this. Show this is
• 42:51

• 43:06
  Speaker 2: get to go into what they call the. Boardroom it
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: might be the only boardroom most of these people ever,
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: see but it's a room with a very high tech
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: table that shows all the couples currently paired, together along
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: with some people that must be hiding out in the
• 43:27

  Speaker 2: on a date with somebody that already exists with in the,
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: villa so they break up a relationship for a period of.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: Time or there's a third, Option, madison because the women
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: have the power this, week can bring a guy in
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: to go on a date herself and Tell cody to
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: just go back to the house and hang. Out.
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah so if she does, that then there there a
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: match is over right like that that breaks their.
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: MATCH i think as soon as the Boardroom my my
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: assumption and kind of What i've learned is as soon
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: as the boardroom is, done like as soon as they
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: walk out the, door the next week, starts.
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: Okay and then there's the new.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: Matches they already, matches everybody has to rematch up, again.
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: Okay uh. Yeah when they when they announce they're going
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: into the, boardroom having not seen perfect match, BEFORE i was,
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: like what is the?
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: Boardroom is it a?
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: Surfboard is?
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: It?
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: Like did they have to Face netflix? Executives what are they?
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: Doing and uh like they show the big logo And i'm,
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: like not going to is this a thing THAT i
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: don't know? Now and thankfully it was easy to, understand
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: but the the gravitas of the boardroom was not. Exaggerated
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: that's it was very important and uh and kind of
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: interesting to see how they how they handle. It we
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: have a guy FROM U Love island or, yeah a
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: guy From Love, island which is a peacock show right AT,
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: nbc and there's a there's someone From love Is BLIND.
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: Uk madison chooses him.
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: A lot of Power easton in the. BOARDROOM i love the.
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: IDEA i kind of Think paradise should adopt. This not
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: to make this always come back to The, bachelor BUT
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: i love the idea of contestants winning something and then
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: getting to strategically choose who comes onto the beach next
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: instead of the always. Unexpected because here's what can. HAPPEN
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: i see throughout the, season people's feelings are gonna get
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: hurt because, Say clayton is loved by, everybody but he
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: really doesn't Like. Ali, yeah he could Send ali on
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: a date just to mess with him If clayton wins the.
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: CHALLENGE i love the idea of the drama starting not
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: based on a producer saying head down the, stairs but
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: by the contestants having the power to choose.
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: Yes it gives it like a survivor kind of, aspect
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: like you, know knowing, that like the people you're there
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: with could be your greatest ally or your greatest. Enemy and,
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: uh it is really exciting and it shows that like
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: this could go any. Direction it's not just like what
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: the producers think will be the most. Interesting and then
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: we get some random person walking. In, no IT'S i love.
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: THIS i love The wardroom, too AND i, UH i
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: can't wait to see what happens with.
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: It were you shocked That madison chose to break up
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: With cody after they just won the challenge to go
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: On This day With? FREDDY i was not.
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: SHOCKED i especially even before the Bad breath. THING i
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: did not feel That cody And madison were a great
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: match when they were the second to, LAST i think
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: to match. Up madison clearly reacting To. Clayton she called
• 46:52
