  Speaker 1: I think it's been great because a lot of it
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: shares more than just you know, the Bachelor Bachelor experience.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: So I think it's been great for readers to see
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: where more of where I came from and what has
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: made me who I am and how you know, faith
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: and hope, and how all of that kind of aligns
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: into um, keeping keep putting where it kept pushing me
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: through in every season of life, that's awesome. If you
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: can give like a little elevator pitch as to like
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: why your book is different than like a regular tell all,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: what would you tell? Yeah? Well, I mean it really
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: isn't a tell all just based on the Bachelor Bachelorette. Um.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I really share you know, about my heart, my hope,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: growing up not having much and going through really terrible
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: dating experiences. Um, but also how you know, learning who
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I am, um, finding my identity, finding worth and finding
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: my work, and he gustrated me to be and not
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: in what other people said. It was a little um
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: but also just really, um, I don't know, holding onto hope.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Hope is truly the key message throughout my statory. So
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I think now more than ever, people need hope. So
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: it's much more than about the Bachelor bachelort. That's great, no,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: I love that. Um. Okay, so you guys can get
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Road to the Road to Roses on Amazon today. And
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: I just want to talk a little bit to Daz
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: about like mommy life because obviously I'm experiencing the first
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: beginning of that. How was your first um, well, how
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: was your pregnancy? It's like, how do they feel like?
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Because I've been talking so much about how like I
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: didn't expect it to be like this. I expected it
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: to be like when people said morning sickness. I knew
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: it wasn't just mourning, but I knew that it wasn't
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: just morning. But I thought it was gonna be like, oh,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: like I'll be somewhere and then all of a sudden,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: I'll get the urge to throw up. Like nobody told
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: me that it was going to be like a nonsub
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: nauseous thing. So how how were you both times? They
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: should call it like the hour sickness, not not morning,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: you know, iron it. I mean, I was very fortunate.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I had pretty good pregnancies. I um, I was mainly
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: only sick the first time around. And but I just
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: ate so like I felt nauseous, I just ate and
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: eat some more. So I gained like all my baby
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: weight in the first three months because I was just
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: so hu well. I was just trying to keep like
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: the nausea at base. So I just kept eating. No,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I get it. I need to eat every two hours
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: or I get I get nauseous, like a like a
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: meal every two hours, which I thought, I was like, oh,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I have to get in weight, But in the the
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: month I lost a pound. Really maybe it's just are
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: you actually throwing up? But I'm not always throwing up
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: the food, which is weird. Like I still am able
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: to keep a good mountain down of the food, so
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: like maybe I'll throw up like twice a day, but
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: like I'm still consuming way more calories than like a
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: normal day. So it's still the math doesn't make sense
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: to me. But whatever, Yeah, it's so wild, huh, It's
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: it's so crazy. How that a little baby like takes
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: your entire body for for nine months and does whatever
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: it wants. Your body just does whatever it wants. It's
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: like crazy, it's so weird. We had our second ultrasound
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: last week, and it did make me feel a little
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: bit like a little more attached to the baby, because
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: at first when you see it, it's literally like this
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: looks like a speck, right, And then the second time
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: it was like, oh my god. Now a month later
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: it has like a head and then the body like
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: I can see it, and I was like, oh, it's
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: so cute. It's cute. Like it's like, okay, well, like
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: now I'm not as mad at you for making me
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: throw up all the time. Yeah. Oh, just wait until
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: you start to feel the baby move. That's that's just heart,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: you know, that's when you really feel that connection. This
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: is like maybe a tm my question, but I've always
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: been fascinated by this. Um, how are your deliveries? Okay
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: mine were really well, I mean so I went all
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: natural you did, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So like Chris,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Chris was born in the same house that his parents
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: still live in, so yeah, and so it was just
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: kind of their lifestyle and as I learned more and
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: I was you know, I went I just like learned
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: more about the process of birthing and pregnancy. I decided
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: that I wanted to go that route. And yeah, I
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: mean I can get real deep and t m I
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: but it is tough, you know, it's tough, but it's
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: just incredible what we can do as women, like incredible. Well,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: you are far stronger than I. I could never do
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: the natural route. No, and that's totally okay. Yeah, Like,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: whatever you need to do to get the baby out
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: safely and healthy, that is all that matters. Um, all right,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: So let's let's pivot a little bit and get into
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Katie's season. I do believe that maybe you have. You
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: were on maybe a week or so before Katie season.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Do you remember when you were on? Was it like
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: the very beginning of Katie season or very I think
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: it was the very beginning, probably probably just the first
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: episode had aired. So who have you been rooting on
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: throughout the season? Okay, so I haven't. I've caught up
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: a little bit because I watched the beginning and then
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: a lot of times in the middle I get a
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: little like busy. Um, so I caught up and I
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: think she has some really good guys in her season,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: like they I think a few, she said, some bad ones,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: but I do think they genuinely are there for her. Um,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: I don't have a favorite. You don't, well, I liked, Yeah,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: I don't. Yeah, maybe that's because I missed a few episodes.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: But I love her connection with you know, with Greg
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: and with Lake and oh my gosh, so sad Michael
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: leaving Michael, That's what I was waiting for. I don't know,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm like a little he just like brings
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: light to the TV screen for me. He I feel
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: like without him there, it's just like what am I
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: going to just be engaged with during the show. I
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: that was heart wrenching for me to see him like leave.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: And but but as a parent, like I get it,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: you know, I get it. We will choose your kids
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: over anything any day. Yeah, let's start there, because that
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: is the first scene of this episode, you know, because
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: before we get to mental law, we get this fifteen
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: minutes segment of Michael on the phone on FaceTime with
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: his son, and his son says, I think I know
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: why you're not here. I think you're you don't want
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: to see me anymore or something all those lines, which,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: oh my god, that is the saddest thing ever. Ah,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: the heartbreaking. I mean you could see it in his
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: face the moment his son said that he was like done,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: you know what, I mean, it all back home because
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: the moment, well, I was thinking about it too. So
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: you know, like a full season is about ten weeks
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: if you make it to the end. But they had
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: to quarantine. Do you know how long they had a
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: quarantine beforehand? I feel like the guys may have I
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: feel like over seven days, because if like guests have
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: to do seven days, I feel like the the guys
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: probably coming and do like at least ten early on. Yeah,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: so he was He's already even gone for almost maybe
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: a month and a half. That's a really long time.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: I guess the only thing to say is like, but
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: he went all that time to just not wait it out,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: like another two weeks I don't know. But at the
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: same time, like I haven't felt like I've loved him,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: and like, of course, like I'm supporting I love Katie,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: but I don't know the two of them together, like
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: You've always made a ton of sense to me. Um,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: so I don't know that. Yeah, we're you shocked of
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: her saying like all the time, like she could see
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: him at the end kind of because I think that
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: she was, like, I think, to be honest, in her brain,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: she was like, I've pictured it, but I don't think
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: that she like pictured it only with him. That makes sense, Yeah,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: that makes sense. Yeah, I think she pictured it with
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: with like two other guys as well. Yeah, Like, well,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: I mean if I could have three different you know, husbands,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: and yeah, you'd get in. Um. I don't know. For me,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: whenever there's someone that's like a single parent, I feel
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: like you're doing you have to really seek that relationship
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: quickly to see if it's worth in otherwise let them
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: go home, you know. But I don't think she wanted
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: to let him go home. I think she wanted to
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: keep She just like every week there was something more
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: and more that she wanted to explore with him. I
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: do think there could have been some way to like
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: maybe working out, like if she really, like, if she
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: thought that was her person. If this is one of
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: the Bachelor at seasons where like the Bachelor atte had
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: decided who it was like early on, you know, did
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: you say who would you would you say, like to leave? Yeah,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Like I if that was the guy that I knew
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: I was going to pick all along, then I would
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: have been like, oh, okay, well, I guess this season
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: ends here, you know, totally totally, no, I hear you.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: But she obviously has different connections with the other guys,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: so it's like, yeah, so she he wasn't, then yeah
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: he wasn't. To me, he wasn't, because I think she
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: could have tried something more out or at least like
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: been like I'm just trying to think from the perspective
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: of me in her shoes, I think I would have
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: been like, Okay, well, I guess that means I have
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: three other guys, and if at the end of these
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks, I still am thinking about you and
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: I'm still thinking like I would rather him be here
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: instead of this other guy, then I'll just leave this
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: process and be like, Okay, I found my guy through this.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: He just couldn't have been here in the end. Yeah,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: I think I think that's what I probably would have done.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: But then, like I would have kept going because I
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: do believe, like what she said to like, things happen
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: for a reason, and sometimes you can't control those things
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: that happen. But like, like you said, if I got
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: to the end and I was still like questioning, and
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: I'd probably like peace, I'm gonna go get my man, definitely,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: and it would have been a great ending her like
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: going to his house in Ohio. I actually really like that. Yeah,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: I mean too. But I think we end of get
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: her answer at mentel all, just to fast forward a
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: little bit, because Caitlin says, because says to Katie, well,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Michael says that the door is still open and he
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: still has all those feelings for you. Uh so what
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: do you think about that? And she was like basically said, oh,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: I moved on, like I'm I'm not choosing you. Yeah,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: she said that pretty matter of factly. So that was
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: funny because as a viewer, you're seeing it like right
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: after it it happened, but really months have gone by, right, right,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: that happened like April, late in May or early May
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: or something like that. Yeah, so she's already you know,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: moved on, hopefully, engaged, happy and all the things. But
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: her saying that's so matter of fact made me think like, okay,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: so then she's definitely with Blake. Or she's definitely with Greg,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: because I'm sorry, she's definitely not with Justin. She not
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: with right, Like, oh, did they have something? You know,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: it was the most confusing thing last week. So but like,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: what's so weird is to me like it's definitely blake
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: because there was this thing that came up a couple
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: of weeks ago in our headlines where so it came
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: out on the internet that Greg wanted to pursue acting
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: or something, and that was yeah, so he liked to
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: get acting classes. I don't know how hard he was
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: pursuing it. But there was a tweet out there that said,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: like when you find out that like Greg the whole
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: time is really the one that was there for the
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: wrong reasons or something like hashtag acting classes. I'm totally
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: making up the tweet, but it was something like that,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: and she liked it and then unliked it, which makes
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: me feel like it's definitely not Greg. Yeah, if she
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: liked it, I know interesting. I'm interested to see what
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: happens because the little you know, it's the little previews
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: you can't you can I don't know, I can't always
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: believe him because I just never know what's being chopped
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: up to like create the preview for what's coming. But
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: it's interesting, like where she says she wants to go home. Oh,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: it's very interesting. It's very interesting. I have no idea
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: what that is. You think she ends up with Lake? Ye?
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: I mean my only theory now watching that is that
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: she finds out that like Greg is not as authentic. Yeah,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: so I don't know, but it's actually what is with
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: all those guys like Hannah's season what was his name? Oh? Yeah,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: I know, um Jed Yeah, yeah, Like they go the
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: they go the whole way, just to be I know.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: All right, Well let's dive into the mentel all part.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: So I think that Tasia and Caitlin did such a
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: good job hosting this. They were prose, they were so um,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: they were so impressive. They Mentel is not an easy
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: episode to carry because it can't mess up. Yeah, you're
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: live in front of the audience. You've got to read
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: the prompter, You're getting little note notes in your earpiece.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: It's hard. And then like the guys are constantly talking
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: over each other. You're gonna have to break up fights.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: You have to deliver it with like a certain amount
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: of like like a sense of being commanding but also
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: being like emotional, and I just think that they really
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: balanced all of it perfectly. Yeah, I do too. They
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: did a really great job. Like and they're going to
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: be on Michelle season right. I don't know. I don't
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: know if we even answer about that, but we should
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: soon because it's going to start filming anymore. And now, yeah,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: do you think this is like a tryout that they're
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: doing the like Caitlin and Tisha. I don't know. We
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: can end up with just one or I'm that's a
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: good thought. I have not thought about that. No, No,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll see, okay. So I think like
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: this mental all was when I first started, like when
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: I first like remembered today that it was mental all,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh God, the last thing I want
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: to do is here these guys arguing. But I was
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: pleasantly surprised to see that the arguing portion was only
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: like ten or fifteen minutes because everything that they had
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: to argue about was so dumb. Because everything was just
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: so dub you know, I actually agree. I was watching
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: it and because usually mental I'm like, oh here we go, um,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: but you know, it was actually not bad and I actually,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: I actually liked the guys. They were funny. Even when
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: they were like bantering, it was still really funny. Or
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: when they were fighting, it was just really stupid. So
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: it was like kind of funny, but overall it didn't
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: overtake the whole the whole night, I completely agree, because
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: most of their fights in the house were about like
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: who's there for the right reasons? Right, and like catching
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: guys quote being there for the wrong reasons because they
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: said stupid things like I know who the top four
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: is going to be, or like I want to be
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: the bachelor. So because because there was really no depth
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: to those arguments, we didn't have a lot of fighting,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: which was great, But I thought it was very weird
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: that Thomas wasn't there in person. Any theories as to why, no,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: he's afraid. Honestly, that's my best theory too. The best
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: you can just tell by the way he talks. He's
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: a really great like manipulator, like says the right things,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: does the right things, and maybe you know deep down
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: he has great intentions, but I don't know. Yeah, I
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: felt this. I felt like, oh, maybe they just didn't
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: want to bother with his drama and they wanted it
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: to be condensed it as a video call. I don't know.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: I think they have a choice because I remember back
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: so many years ago, um Tiara was like the villain
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: in our season and think they got her there, but
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: because you know, they would do anything to get the
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: people there in person. So it had to have been
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: something with him where either he didn't want to or
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: maybe a scheduling although I said he was like in
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: strmento or something. I forget. It's always hard to believe
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: when they say that there's a scheduling thing when it's
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: like somebody who was such a big character. I kind
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: of feel like I felt I feel like he probably
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: chickened out and try I just couldn't be convinced to come. Yeah,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: I agree. Um so then there was let's see what
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: was like the other Another big moment and mental I
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: think would probably be when Connor got kissed by a
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: stranger in the audience that was actually really entertaining. I
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: was like, I was like, this is one of my
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: favorite mental moments of all time. Yes, And do you
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: think that a stage? I wasn't sure. I definitely think
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: it was stage because she was like miked up. She
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: sounds pretty clear that I didn't even think about it.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: I think it was but I think it was cute
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: that he said that he was eyeing her from the
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: audience already. She was really cute, and then he said like,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: I want to get your number. I think like they
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: probably went on a date. I think that was a
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: really cute scereo. I know, I was like, oh, we
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: need to know what happens to them. I know, we
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: got to get an update. That was cute. I actually
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: liked having something fun and like spontaneous happened during the
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: mental law. I also liked the fact that like made
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: him probably feel a lot better about the whole kissing thing,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: because this poor guy was so embarrassing one to just
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: be called out on stage about it. Then for him
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: to be like, oh, yeah, I texted two or three
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: x is just to make sure it wasn't that bad,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: and then that was the perfect redeeming moment, and all
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: the guys were so supportive afterward. It was supportive. That
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: was so cute, and it was it was cute that
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: he because I don't think Katie was saying like, you're
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: a bad kisser. She was just saying, we don't have
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: that spark kiss definitely, but still how sweet of him
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: to like go and like text his exes and be like,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: was I just a terrible kisser? I know, poor guy,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: poor guy. Um okay. But another moment that stood out
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: to me and seeing one of my favorite mental moments,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: had nothing to do with this season. It was them
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: showing Caitlin and Jason's proposal, which we've all I've been
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: seen on Instagram that it doesn't matter because I can
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: watch it over and over again, it will never get old.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: It was way better than seeing it on like big
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: It was I don't know. I actually didn't watch the
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: full thing on Instagram because I well I thought I did,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: but then when I watched it back, I was like,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: oh my gosh, he was so sweet, crying and so cute,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: like I think, get the words out. It was so cute.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: It was so cute when getting there hopefully soon, hopefully soon.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: I mean they're in the wedding planning process. It's a
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: big you know how stressful that is? Yes, very much?
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: Um okay. So then as far as like Katie's conversations
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: with the guys, um, she she really just talks to
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: one one with Andrew and then with with um Michael,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: and it just feels like she's been kind of like
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: moved past that she appreciate them. But you know, it
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: was like the same word of like, you know, I
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: love and respect you, which was great. I think she
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: always she's really good at saying like the right things. Yes,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm very envious of that. She's very good at
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: that ends and my feelings get all is in the way,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: and I get all. You know, she's just very like
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: straight to the point out her feelings. It's really good.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: It's very impressive. Um. And then there was that moment
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: where she she butchered Aaron's name and called him which
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: like I get like they maybe look like they could
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: be brothers. Um. That was so funny though, because they
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: were talking about Thomas being like the worst and then
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: she calls him to Aaron is the worst. Though. I
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: seriously think that Aaron's the worst of all of them
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: because he was the one that started drama with everyone
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: and he was constantly being like I don't like him,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: I don't like him. I don't like him, yes totally.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: But he never got called out, you know, he never did,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: which is weird. But like he still has like bad
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: vibes for me. Yeah, I agree. Um, as far as
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: other drama, I mean, they brought things up with Carl,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: and you know, at the end of the day, I'm
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: pretty sure like Carl does look a little bit silly
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: because he he was like I said, it was multiple guys. No,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: I meant it was just Thomas, and it's just like, Okay,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: you got caught. It's fine. And then there was the
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: stuff with um, what's his name, Cody. I mean like
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: it was so earlier, like knowing each other or something. Yeah,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: and he was like, I'm going to be famous in
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: six months, and he was like, no, you took that
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: off contact and it probably wasn't out of contact, but yeah,
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: out of contact. Yeah, Like what else are you gonna
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: be famous for? That's the thing like I'm so thankful
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: for is that back in my day, like Instagram had
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: just started up, like kind of and so I don't know,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: it wasn't a conversation. It was a conversation like are
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: you there for the right reasons? Has always been a conversation,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: but now it's just like more heightened because of social media,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: and I don't know if most people are on there
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: for the right reasons. It's hard to say. I mean,
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: you know, you know that even Sean Lowe, who's like
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: the epitome of who do you think would be there
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: for the right reasons, basically writes in his book that
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: he wasn't, And like back then it was you know,
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: you make friends, you travel, you like get like a
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: little fifteen minutes of attention and it's pretty cool. But
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: then you know it's going to be over. Yeah. Yeah,
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: it's just so crazy. I feel like it's much harder though,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: now for them to like prove yeah, to prove it
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: or navigate relationships maybe after the fact too, because of
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: social media and the pressure. Oh yeah, it's really hard
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: to prove You're like, it's just a cluster these days.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: I don't fit. I don't pity them. I feel like everybody,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: um can be there and be at a risk for
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: being called that these days absolutely Um. All right, Well, anyway,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: so the next sneak peek that will will analyze the
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: sneak peek a little bit more. Um Blake says that
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Katie is everything he's ever wanted. Greg says that she
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: makes him the happiest he's ever been. Um Gregg says
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: that he's falling so hard for Katie. He gets he
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: gets six, he gets six to it. He gets sick
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: to his stomach whenever he sees her kiss other guys.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: And then she says that everything is blowing up her
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: in her face and she just wants someone to book
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: her flight home. So I mean, oh my gosh. And
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Justin also says he's fully in love with her. It
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: just doesn't feel real. No, do you think Justin's falling
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: in love with her? It's just more oh, he's in
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: love with the thought in his head thought, Yeah, I'm
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: interested to see her meet the families too, because it
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: looks like it couldn't I couldn't tell, but I mean
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: it looked like maybe Greg's family or Katie had questions. Um,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: there wasn't clarity there in that, but um, yeah, I
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: don't know. I feel like that's always a telling sign
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: when you meet the family. Yeah. And then there was
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: also this moment where it was like, if Katie doesn't
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: get engaged to at the end of this, she's going
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: to be like devastated or something like that. And was
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: that that was coming from somebody in her family? Was
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: that I didn't know who that was? I think so,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Could you imagine if one of the
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: guys is like, I just don't know if I can
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: propose next week, Oh my gosh, that would be crazy.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, it happens. I've definitely seen it happen recently.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, I mean I guess, as always, the
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: preview just looks great and juicy at this point. But
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: of course, and I don't I don't think she actually
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: goes home. I mean, I don't know. When I was
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: on the show, I said I wanted to go home,
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: And that's usually just because you're like emotionally drained and
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: you're just kind of like you it's not that you
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: want to go home. You just really want like a
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: big hug and a glass of wine. You just want
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: a loan time. You want a loan time. You want
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: your friends to like help you out. And so I
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: don't think she actually goes home. It's just more so
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: of like she just wants space to think through what
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: she needs to do. Yeah, that's actually a really good point.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: I would feel like probably really trapped at the end,
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: like the top three, if I couldn't get advice from
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: my family mm hmm, just being like, who do you
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: guys feel like I guess, I guess you do get that,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: especially with top two. Then you start getting feedback. Yeah,
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: but I feel like but when things start to you know,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: get hard or like confusing, then you're just overwhelmed. And
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: so I feel like everyone would say I want to
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: go home. I mean I actually did say that, So
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: it's like I feel her. Yeah, I bet you every
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: lead says that. Oh, I'm sure at some point. All Right, well, Dez,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: thank you so much for joining us. I appreciate you
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: so much for being here and breaking out this episode
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: with me. I truly couldn't have done it without you.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: Thanks for having me. Alright, talked to you soon, Bye bye.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, before we have out of here, I'm
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: doing Bachelor headlines by myself, which seems like it might
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: be weird because Ben always like it's really dramatic and
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: reads the headline and I kind of explain it. But
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: it's okay, I'll read the head I'll do both today.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: So the first one is actually quite juicy. I think
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: it's Bibiana, you know, you know, Bibbie Julian. She admits
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: that she slept on quote quote not slept on directly
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: because when I first read this headline, I was like,
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: she slept on top of Joe amabla. No, she slept
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: on him as if she kind of didn't realize he
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: was there during Bachelor in Paradise, and she she also
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: ranks her her experiences on the Bachelor. So she says
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: that when she was on Bachelor in Paradise season five,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: her only regret and she keeps thinking about it today,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: was that she slept on grocery store Joe. I totally
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: slept on him, she said. She said, I talked to
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: him prior and it was something like obviously they were
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: already talking to him about going, but he wasn't sure
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: if it was going to be an easy decision um
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: for him, like do I do this? Do I not?
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: And then she here, she sees him. He's back in
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: the mix, he's on click bait, he's single, and she's like,
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: if things don't work out for him on Paradise this
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: time around, he would be a bachelor pick for me too.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: So is she's saying here that she slept on him
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: as in like he was a bigger catch than she
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: thought he was, and now she thinks that he'd be
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: like a great bachelor, or she's thinking about like this personally,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: like she's personally disappointed that she didn't like pursue him more.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: I'm not quite sure out there, baby, Um, do you
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: want to date Joe if this doesn't work out for
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: him this time around? Or are you just hoping to
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: see Joe as a future bachelor? Either way, I get you.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: This is another juicy headline. Katie Morton says that she
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: was torn after Colton Underwood came out, and she's also
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: giving us a little update on how Cassie ran off it.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: So she says Cassie is doing great. She seems very happy.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: She says she's noticeably moved on, and then when the
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: news came out about Colton, she said she was torn,
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: feeling relieved and happy for him to be free to
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: be himself, but also angry with him for not treating
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: her friend the way she should have been treatedim and
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: for putting her through what she went through. She says,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: I was a very torn in that situation because there
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: was part of me saying and not fair, how dare you?
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: I can't believe you? And then there was a part
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: of me that was saying, it's starting to make sense.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: How conflicted you must have been. How I feel for you,
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: She says she's definitely torn, but at the same time,
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: good for him for moving on and owning who he is.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: In sad news this week, Um, Lauren Burnham or Lion Dyke.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: You know Lauren, I always call O Lauren Laron Dyck,
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: but maybe she's still learned by Burnham because I still
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: go by Lionetti. Um. She had to go to the
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: hospital with a case of mastitis, and that's when you
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: have painful inflammation in your breast tissue, and I believe
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: that it's from breastfeeding. So she stayed overnight at the hospital.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: She received antibiotics through an ivy drip, and she had
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: scans to look for any potential abscess. Is already said
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: on Instagram, she's been going through a lot this week, um,
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: And he was up all weekend with the baby's survival
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: over here, he said, ha ha, when he has his
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: handfull of three three kids. So our thoughts go out
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: to Lauren. We know she's home now and I hope
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: she's feeling much better. Becka Martinez, she had a a
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: moment being really upset over on Instagram because she's very
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: overwhelmed by raising her two kids and her nanny quit. Uh,
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: so she felt a lot of guilt back in March
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: when she decided that she just needed somebody to be
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: a part time babysitter. She said that she just felt
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: like really strung out, like she she just couldn't handle
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: everything on her own. And she finally found this babysitter
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: at the Kids Love that she got along with Ruth.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Her her oldest was asking if she was coming in
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: and she said she couldn't hold it together. She was crying.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: She just said it was a really rough day. And
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: she said all this on her podcast, which is Chatty Broad's,
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: and I think she'll be looking for somebody else. So, hey,
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: if you are nanny out there, which ironically Becca was
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: when she went and became you know, went onto our
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: season of The Bachelor, well maybe send in your resumes.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you know, look out for Becca's Instagram post.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: Maybe she'll post something looking for nanny's in the southern
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: California area soon. And Chris Harrison responds to fans saying
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: that they miss him on the Bachelorette. He's saying, I
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: miss you all too. I think that's so sweet. Um.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: It's one person on instagrams or via Twitter said I
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: think Chris Harrison misses us as much as we do.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: You think that Chris Harrison misses us as much as
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: we miss him hashtag Bachelorette and he said, I truly do.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: And then another Canadian viewer said the shows just aren't
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: the same without Chris, and then he said I miss
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: you all to so many loyal fans up in Canada.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Um. And then another social media user said
• 36:23

• 37:59
  Speaker 1: so cute that I it's kind of exciting that I'm
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: able to kind of go through this with somebody else
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: in Bachelor Nation. Um. She did tell people a little
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: a little bit of detail about what she's been going through.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: She's not really been, um that nauseous. It says that
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: despite not experience any nausea, she's had some food aversions.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: And what she told me was that like all the
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: foods that Adam would normally like, that that she normally
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: wouldn't like, she's been liking. So it's like all of
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: a sudden, she wants to eat when Adam eats. Um.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: She also said that she's just had some lack of
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: energy and um, that has been kind of tough. But
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: it's all great, and I'm excited, and I'm also glad
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: that the baby doesn't come right away. She goes, I
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: have nine months to get ready. Um, they haven't found
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: out the sex yet, and I wonder if they are,
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: because she's just about that week where they should be
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: able to know, So I'll have to ask her about that.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: But very happy for Raven and Adam. They are o
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: cute and they look beautiful in their announcement and I'm
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: very excited. And this is a shocking, shocking headline because
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: how are we just finding this out now. Clay Harbor
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: is cousins with andrew S from Katie season. Yeah, he's
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: cousins and he was talking to him a lot last
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: week when he had his departure from the show. He said,
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: we were texting all last night. He was saying how
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: hard it was to watch the show because it brought
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: back so many feelings, and he said, you know, I
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: know it's tough. People don't realize that you really are
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: feeling all these feelings, and once you separate from that
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: environment a little bit, you're like, Okay, I'm back in
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: the real world. But then you have to relive it
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: all and you go back and then you're like, wow,
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: that really was how you feel. You know, it was
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: really real at that point in time for me. Um,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: So I mean, wow, how did we just not know
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: that these two were cousins and had each other to
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: lean on? Um and then find The headline of the
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: of the week is that Michelle Young her Bachelorette cante.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: The contestants the guys for her Bachelorette's season have kind
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: of come out, so they're not the official releases yet,
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: but they are like those early releases that always seemed
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: to hit the internet, um, a couple of days before
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: like the official ABC dot Com release. Um, I would
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: go through them, but I think like, we're just gonna
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: end up going through the official release next week and
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: then I'll have been here and we can do the
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: thing or really kind of make fun of the guys
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: and make up wacky first impressions. So we'll wait for that. Um.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: But a little interesting tidbit according to Reality Steve is
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: that this season looks to be filming Ian Michelle's hometown
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: of Minneapolis, Minnesota, which kind of brings us back to
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: the days of Emily Maynard and I'm wondering why they
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: decided to do it in Minneso. Soda. Um, they're actually
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: staying at a hotel that is not like a campus hotel,
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: you know, like the past couple of seasons we've seen
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: like hotels where they're like far out. They're the kind
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: of like in the middle of nowhere and it's just
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: completely shut down for production and cast and crew. And
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: this I looked up the hotels and this hotel just
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: like is it it's like as not a skyscraper, but
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: it's a really tall building in the middle of an
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: actual city and they say that that's where the guys.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: That's what Reality See was saying that the guys in
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: Michelle will be staying at that hotel, And it looks
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: like they'll be doing rose ceremonies at this place called
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: the Simple Mansion. And this Simple Mansion I also looked
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: up and it looks kind of like a a wedding venue. Um,
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: it's definitely, like, you know, not in the smack middle
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: of a city, but it's also doesn't look like it's
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: totally remote either. Um, and it's not huge, so I'm
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: not sure that they're going to have a whole bunch
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: of places to shoot for it. It'll be interesting if
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: maybe they start using Minneapolis as like a city to
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: explore and they're not totally locked down, like maybe they're
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: not traveling throughout the country or throughout the world, but
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: maybe they are just staying local and doing local dates.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: So that could be really fun for her, especially to
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: be able to show guys her home and to do
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: things that she would actually do around there. And they're
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: apparently also um filming something in Palm Springs over the summer.
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: But it seems like the majority, or so says Reality See.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: If the majority will take place in Minneapolis, so very
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: interesting stuff. Um that makes me think that, like I
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: would you know, with michael A's departure, and I really
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: just have been really on the Michael A should be
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: the Bachelor train. Um. I would love to see them
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: bring the show to Ohio, just like they brought the
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: show to North Carolina for Emily Maynard, um, because of
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: her child, and and do it do it somewhere in
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: Ohio and he'll be able to have his kid with
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: him throughout the entire time. I just think that he
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: is such a front runner become the Bachelor, and he's
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: so so sweet. But that does but then you also
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: have to think that there are going to be a
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: lot of contenders I'm sure from Michelle season, so we'll
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: have to see after that. And plus, like, have we
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: even gotten official word that The Bachelor has been renewed?
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: That's crazy. I don't think that the ABC has officially
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: renewed The Bachelor yet, which is just wild. But they
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: do normally film in September and that is just around
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: the corner. Final casting week is usually in August, so
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: we shall see. Well anyway, guys, um, thanks for sticking
