• 0:42
  Speaker 1: having you here. Uh did you know that you were
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: the host of the Bachelor When we were talking to
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: you about American Surfer? When were we talking about Yes,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: it was Ultimate Surver? Sorry American? Um, I guess I know,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know if I officially knew. I
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: may have had a inkling. Yeah, how is my poker face?
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Was a good ye, did you have any indicator? Okay,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: I thought that you were definitely in the running. I
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: was like, that's just a natural fit. Um, is it
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: true that you're also going to be hosting The Senior Bachelor.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know this time. This time, I'm being dead,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: I'm being totally honest with you. I do not know.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: No poker face on this one. I really honestly do
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: not know. I think Ben thinks he lost out to
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: you already, but that might be well. No, there's like
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: there's always spinoff shows happening. I don't even know what.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: I'm not even honestly aware of what the spinoff shows are, Like,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: what's what's coming up? I know that I know that
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: in the franchise, I know there's Bachelor, I know there's Bachelorette.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: There's there's you know, Bachelor in Paradise. Outside of that,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: it's like I've heard like Winter Games might be coming back,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Like there's like all these like yeah, like Bachelor pad
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: like I remember that, and there's all these other things.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but the Senior Bachelor, I promised this time.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I literally do not know. I do not know. I
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: do not know, but yeah, Winter Games crazy it's been
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: four years since that, you know, I was part of it,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Ben was part of it. Uh. I don't know where
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: my life honestly would be right now without it, because
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: if it weren't for some jealousy factor, I may not
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: be married. It's it could, Okay, we would have ended
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: up together. I just don't know how much longer I
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: would have taken for him to come out about his
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: feelings anyway. Yeah, that's it's just weird that they wouldn't
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: have done that, because I feel like Bachelor in Paradise
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: right now is like everybody's favorite spin off in the show.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Like if all the shows, people love Bachelor Paradise, and
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I feel like Winter Games is kind of the most
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: similar anyway. Sidetrack note, let's talk about the moment that
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: you found out you were the host of The Bachelor. Yeah,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I was. I was humbled. I was excited obviously, you
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: know having you know was the bathroom in two thousand four.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: I've been a big fan of all the shows kind
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: of ever since, and I remember a part of bachel Nation,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: but um, you know, just just really thrilled. And I
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: think too, like once I finally met Clayton, um, the
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: whole thing really kind of kind of made sense. The
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: first time I met Clayton was actually when he got
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: out of the limo and that first night, Um yeah,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: So I wanted that to be real and authentic and
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: just organic to the whole process, and like it was
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: like he's nervous getting out of a limo. I'm freaking
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: out nervous because I've never hosted the show before. I've
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: never even been to that that mansion, and we're just
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: kind of like looking at each other, like what are
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: we doing? This is crazy? Um. But as I've gotten
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: to know him, I just genuinely like him so much.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: He's such a sweet, genuine guy, and I've learned how
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: badly he wants to get married and find love and
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: find his person. I just know like how much pressure
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: he's put himself on. Now he understands how big of
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: an opportunity this is. Like I watched someone Michelle season,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I watched you know he he talks about when you
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: have a family and having kids, and he cries, he
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: gets emotional. I remember thinking like, wow, that's it's impressive
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: for a guy to do that, but also it was
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: a former football player to break down like that. It
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: supposed to be really important to him. As I've gotten
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: to get to know him since that first moment outside
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: the mansion on one night one, I just know how
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: much he wants this. So for me being the host
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: and to try to try and help guide him to
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: find what he's desperately craving, that's like, I do feel
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: a lot of pressure doing it, but it makes this
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: so much more um what's the word. It's like when
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: you just feel it just feels right, and it just
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: it just feels it's it's it's the best part of
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: this experience for me, kind of trying to help a
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: guy like Clayton do this. Was it your decision not
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: to meet him until night one? Yeah, we we sort
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: of kind of talked about that. There was talks about
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: maybe having a dinner or getting together playing golf, and
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I know some of that had happened in the past, um,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: but I thought it was just going to be more
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: real and more authentic if we had done it that way,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: and knowing that we'd have a lot more time to
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: catch up after that, even off camera. The funny thing
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: is I actually kind of already knew who he was
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: because I had broadcast at his football games before. Um,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: when he was a tight end at Missouri, I was
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: actually at ESPN and I'd be in the booth at
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: in Colombia, Missouri, like calling his game, and I had
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: I had his name on a board and I'd watched
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: him play on film and I knew all of his vitals,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: but of course i'd never actually met him until that
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: that first night. Um, I'm I'm happy we did it
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: that way because I just feel like it was you know,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: like he's a real guy. I you know, and this
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: experience for him needs to be authentic and organic, and
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I think our relationship needs to be the same the
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: same way he has a little NFL experience. Right. Was
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: he on a practice water too? He went to camp
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: with the Seattle Seahawks. Yes, So did you guys have time?
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Was that something that you first talked about as a
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: bonding thing. It was a total growth thing. Yeah, we
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: broke out right away. I love that you love football too. Great.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Every time for time we do this, we always go
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: there and I'm never surprised. I'm always like, that's right,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: she loves perfect. Um. Yeah, I mean it's definitely something
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: that helped bring bring us together because we could sort of,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: you know, talk about our past experiences in football and
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: kind of you know, compare them and relate them and
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: relate to things we learned in football and how we
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: were kind of using that in our lives now. But
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: it's funny like in football, you know, like in the
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: locker room, there's just trash talking. Guys are always kind
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: of riding each other and and Clayton and I sort
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: of kind of carried that over. It was very very quick,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: like at first we were very cordial, Hey, how are
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: you good to meet you? This is great, And now
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: it's like full on locker room like that, you know,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: big brother little brother. Were like blast each other, texting,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: we're killing each other on social media. Um on. On
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: January one, we were at the Rose Parade and we
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: were taking this picture this really cute little girl and
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: she was standing in the middle of us, and she
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: looked at Clayton and then she like in the middle
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: of the photo, she was kind of looking at me,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: kind of funny, and then she like she kind of like,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: you know, told me to come down, and she was
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: like are you his dad? And I'm like, I'm like what,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: And Clayton has never let me forget that he is.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: He was dying. I was so mad, and I'm like,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: it's a little girl, and I'm like, I am a
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: conduit of love. Damn it. I am trying to help
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: this man find his person. How dare You're like, I
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: am eleven years older than him? Okay, just a great whiskers. Fine,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: I have a great whiskers. I get it enough. I'm done.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: I already hate this man because he's taller and better
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: looking and more athletic. Enough, it's over. I'm leaving the parade.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: That leads me perfectly into my next question. How do
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: you feel about all the Clayton Jesse comparisons? Because there
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: are so many memes out there from outlets like Betches
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: and stuff that are like, can anybody tell it too?
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: If he's apart? Yeah, I hate Clayton secretly because because
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: because of what I just said. Again, when they told
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: me it was Clayton and then we finally got out
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: of the limo, the first thing I thought was, Damn,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: he's way bigger than I thought. I'm like, I've been
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: in NFL locker rooms, and like there are people that
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: make big people like I'm six to two thirty, like
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I feel like a pretty big guy. He
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: makes people like me just feel average and look average.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: That was the first thing. But then too, I was like,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: he does kind of look like me a little bit.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: And then and then like he's just he's got like
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: a better physique and all the things, and he's like
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: he's he's walking over and I'm just like the the
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: the jealousy was rising, and then my security was falling,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: and I was like I was just so insecure in
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: the moment. I'm like, all right, I know, I know
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna like you. I know that, but secretly I
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: really hate you. I think it's just because he probably
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: remind did you of yourself a decade ago? Yeah, way
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: less terror product than I had in two thousand four,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: but yes, very very similar otherwise for sure. So I
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: totally see it. I get at least I just at
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: least I could be his older brother. That's cool, but like,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: I just don't want to be the dad. You're just
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: a little girl would think that, that's all. Uh. Fun
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: side note question here. As you may know, I come from,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: um well, I told you last time, Big Giants fan.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: But since I married into I married a Brady absolute fanatic,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: like it goes beyond like I know my ranking in
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: this world is somewhere in between the dog and Tom Brady.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Who do you think is going to the Super Bowl?
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: What are your predictions? I think the Bucks have a
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: very hard game this week against the Rams. They do.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: That's a good segue. So unfortunately the Giants are not
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: going to the super Bowl. We'd be totally not for
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: quite some time, saying that for about ten years, ten years.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: It's been ten years. I went to that Super Bowl
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: ten years ago, and my dad's like, can you believe
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: it's been that long? And it's been like we've been
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: bad for like that long now anyway, continue, Yeah, well
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: so no, no big Blue fine for another year. So
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: I do think the Buffalo Bills are going to make
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: the super Bowl. It's the first time in a long
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: time they're going to get there. Josh Allen is playing
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: phenomenal quarterback. They have the best defense in the NFL.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: They're dominating in the trenches. I think they're going to
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: beat the Chiefs this weekend. That'll be a huge statement.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: I think they're gonna end up getting there. Now, like
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: who today in their right mind, honestly, if we're being honest.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Who's betting against Tom Brady? Ever? You can't, you cannot.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: It's never a smart decision. And like, I get it.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Backers look awesome and Aaron Rodgers and like the super
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: it's gonna go through lambeau Field, the Tundra and it's
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: gonna be great. Dude, come on number twelve. Number twelve
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: rolls up in there. It's like all bets are off.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: It's like everybody's like, no, they don't have the weapons
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: they have. Injury tackle injury does yeah, like the right
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: tackle injury. I think it's a big one. But like
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: their defense is healthy. They have one of the best
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: defensive coordinators. And dude, it's Tom Brady. Like, yeah, it's
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: gonna be cold. No one could throw the ball in
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: the cold except Tom Brady because he did in his
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: whole life with a New England Patriots, and he did
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: it last year in the NFC Championship game. He beat
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: the Packers and was amazing. That game was way better
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: to watch than the actual supervol I don't know, alright,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: So you're saying that it could be Bill's Bucks, Bill's Box,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Bill's Mafia, It's so Fi Stadium, And then all the
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Brady like you like your husband, like all the Brady Brady,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: the Bradyites what we call them, Yeah, let's call them that,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: like the Bradyites. They're all gonna be there. It's gonna
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: We're all gonna be there. You'll be there. It's gonna
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: be We're gonna Well, I would be there, but my
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: due date is two days the first. When I let
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: my has been good to that Seer Bowl, I don't know,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: he's already been to. We've already We've already done that
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: thing together, that bucket list. That's going to be the
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: true test of where you are in the hierarchy. See
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: if if Brady isn't the Super Bowl, you're really gonna know,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: that's going to be a telling moment. That is that
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: is such a good point. Alright, well, we're probably boring
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Bachelor fans. I could actually pick your brain with that
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: stuff even more. That'd be fun because I just have
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: to say, the Bills, after losing four straight ser Bowls
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: in the nineties, they deserve this. I'm rooting for them
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: for I love how you get off to the side.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: It's like it's like as if they can't hear me anymore.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: What's also been a meme this week is the show
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: making it seem like you met your wife on the Bachelor.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Did you feel like you did that intentionally? Or the
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: show like, how do you word things in a way
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: that it was, Oh, by the way, I found my
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: happily ever after via the Bachelor too, or do you
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: think that people are just misinterpreting? Uh My, looking back
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: on it, maybe it was like the order in the
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: way things were, like said, hey, maybe you remember once
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: upon a time I was the Bachelor and now I'm
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: a happily married man. I don't think it necessarily connects
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: the two things. Both things are totally true, but I
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: never said, like if I had said I found love
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: and I'm now a happily married man or I met
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: my wife on the Bachelor, those are two totally completely
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: different things. So I think I would say misinterpretation. It's
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: probably my call on that, all right, because my wife's like,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: I was never on the Bachelor, Like she's Brazilian, She's like, yeah,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: I never did that. She also might have been trying
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: to do the math. Now. I don't want to say
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: how old she was, maybe when I was. We'll just
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: pax next next time skip. How much did you hang
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: out with the girls on set? Because when Harrison was around,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: he maybe like pop by once a week, and I
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: was so intimidate. I was like, I can't even have
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: a conversation with him. With you being your first season
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: as hosts, I feel like it would be a little
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: bit less intimidating. Oh well, I hope so, Um, there's not.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: There's there's not been a lot of interaction. To be honest, Um,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: I actually had to formally introduce myself to them when
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: I dropped the first day card because on the first night,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: like they had never seen me host that show before. Um,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: a lot of them probably didn't know who I was.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Literally popped in for a second to put a first
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: impression rolls down on the table, and then they saw
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: me at the road ceremony and that was it. So
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: that's why at the beginning, when the women finally moved
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: into the to the mansion, I actually have to like
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: go in and be like, hey, um, so you know,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: I'm Jesse, I'm hosting the show, and sort of do that.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: I really don't have that that much interaction with them. Um, directly,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: I'm always sort of there and I'm kind of omniprepresent
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: I really made it a point to kind of be
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: be there for the group dates, for the one on
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: one dates, cocktail parties, rose ceremonies, travel all that stuff,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: to try to be sort of dialed in as much
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: as I could. But really the majority of my my interaction,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: especially one on one, is really with Clay. Okay, uh.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Well that that kind of leads me to my next question,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: what did you want your vibe to be as host
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: um with? With Harrison? You know, I don't. He just
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: is all we've ever known, right, And then with Caitlyn
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: and Taitia, their vibe was more of like, we're your girlfriends.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: You can come here with us, you can come to
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: us whenever you need advice. It was more of a
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: friendly vibe. And when did you go in with a
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: mindset of how you want to come across? No? And
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: and really the reason why. Of course, I had watched
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: the show guide for for for years and years and years,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: so I was very very aware of sort of sort
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: of the different styles of hosting that that we had
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: had before. I think for me in some ways similar
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: to when I was the batcher, because I wasn't on
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: the bachelot the year before. I just wanted to be
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: authentic and just be myself and just try to do
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: it my way. Um. You know again, like I'm always
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: trying to think, like how can I help Clayton? What
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: can I do? Um? You know, It's one thing to
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: kind of set up the group dates and go in
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: and give those talks, and I'm trying to do it
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: in my own tone and sort of you know, in
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: my own in my own voice. But you know, for
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: really my focus is just Clayton and just being myself.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: I know he's trying to be as authentic as he
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: can be. I'm trying to be as authentic as I
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: can be. And that's kind of why, you know, I
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: was kind of joking about it on the first night
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: when I met Clayton, like I am nervous, like standing there,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: like I wish I could. I was trying to come
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: across as being very stoic, but in that moment I
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: was thinking, like crap, like I've never even been to
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: this mansion before. I haven't i haven't hoped this show yet,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Like I just don't want to screw this up for
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: clay And so you know, that's that's really, you know,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: kind of what I'm trying to do is just just
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: be me and and it's it's got to be a
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: different you know, I can't be like Holiday Baking Championship
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: host Jesse that I'm always like doing like dad jokes
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: and like making fun of the time. And I can't
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: be like ESPN College Football Jesse Um, where it's like
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: super analytical and forty five second sound bites all the time.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: You know, it's it's it's it's kind of I guess
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: it's taking on a life of its own, and it's
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: something that I sort of have to kind of find
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: as I'm as I'm going along with it. I think,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: when did you feel like you found your groove? I
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: thought you came across a very natural night one. Oh
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: that's good. Well, that's that's nice. It's nice to hear.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's what I'm hoping. Um. You know, of
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: course i'd be again, I'd be lying if I said
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: like I had it in the bag when I do
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: exactly what it was going as I did. And you
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: know this at this point, you know, I still don't.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if if I feel yet
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: like like I've got I've got a real handle on
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: it and probably wise because you know, every episode I'm
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: doing something new for the time. So it's like like
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: dropping the first impression Rose Rose ceremony, group date card
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: um first, like the first one on one talk with Clayton.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Like the conversation I'm about to have with Clayton now
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: as he's pondering whether or not he's taking this Rose
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: back from Cassidy is like is like that that was
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: the first for me as well, And so you know
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: it's it's I don't think there's like you know, Women
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Tell all will be new after the final Rows will
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: be new. I don't know, like I don't know how
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: how it's gonna go or how that's going to feel.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: I won't be able to, I think, feel comfortable in
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: this until you know, way down the road and if
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: I'm still doing it. So does that make you want
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: to have another opportunity to host the show? Yeah? I
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: mean listen, I would be totally game to have that
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: conversation if they wanted to do that. I just after
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: what I just said, it's like I'm listening to myself
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: like I've got my hands so full right now just
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: with just with Clayton. Yeah, and it just all the
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: things he's dealing with. I never in a million years
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: thought like I would have to watch him juggle everything
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: that's happened in the first two episodes, like three women,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: self eliminating before the first row ceremony, his first rows
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: being rejected before he even gets to the match, and
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: the self doubt that's already creeping in now, the stuff
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: happening with Cassidy, more drama between Shane and Elizabeth. Um,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: he's kind of he's had these sparks with Teddy and
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Susie and some of some of these other women too.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: He's hopeful and at the same time he's he's doubting
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: himself and he's got like drama happening on two fronts.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: There's so much going on, and now he's potentially going
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: to take a rose back. We're not even an episode three.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Like this is great, Like it's a lot happening. So um, yeah,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: it's been. It's been a lot, but it's been it's
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: been a lot of fun. Ye spoiler alert, guys, We're
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: gonna talk about Cassidy's Instagram story this week. Just are
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: you aware of what happened? No, talk to me, let's
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: go what's she basically said on her Instagram story that
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: he eliminated her. She spoiled that storyline, assuming the producers
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: are really piste off. She says, isn't it just unbelievable?
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: And like these are so many words. She cursed a
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: lot throughout this. She's like, don't you think it's unbelievable
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: that he offered a rose to a girl who was
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: previously engaged as of like the week before the Bachelor,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: But then with me, I have a friends with benefits
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: and he eliminates me, so he takes her rose back,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: or so it seems. Can you can? Can you have
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: thoughts on this? And I confirmed nor did not? Are
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: we sure her Instagram did not get hacked by any
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: chance she's talking to the screen. Did did Reality Steve
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: hack her Instagram and just dub over her voice? Did
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: he put on a wig and just really really just
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: like winning an Oscar and Academy award? Honestly, I gotta
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: I gotta be I gotta be real. I didn't know
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: what I could neither confirm nor deny. No, I wasn't
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: even aware. Well, we will find out, I guess for
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: sure how it unfolds on Monday's episode I'm also going
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: to give you another theory, and I want your response
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: to it, even it's just a facial reaction, because I
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: will over analyze your facial expression. Nick Vile and I
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: have this theory that Teddy, who is h self proclaimed virgin,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: will be losing her virginity in the fantasy suite, which
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: is why Clayton has led to reveal that he slept
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: with all the women in there. Yes or no, think twice.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: If it's a yes, he has a good face. Actually,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: that's actually amazing. That's actually an amazing conspiracy theory. Interesting.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: I will say, I will say this what what is what?
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: It has been kind of fun fun to watch a
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: lot of people think they already know what happens at
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: the end based on the different teases that they've shown,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: But as you know better than anybody, there's a lot
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: of very smart people working on the show that think
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: about the editing what they're going to show before things
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: actually come to fruition. So um, what I can say
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: is that a big theme this year on Clayton's season
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: will be there are no rules in the Bachelor. Clayton
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: never watched the show before he went on the Shell season.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: He has, there's no precedence for anything in his mind.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: He's doing things for the first time. He's willing to
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: do very drastic things and take chances and risk. It's
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: a drastic a nice word for dumb. Drastic is a
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: word for sometimes authentic, okay, not well thought out. Clayton
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: knows how to do things his way and how to
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: handle tough situations his way. And we know Clayton's an
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: open book. He wears his heart on his sleeve. We've
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: seen that, and you're going to see more of that
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: this season. But there's gonna be a lot of things
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: that happened. You've already seen a couple of first there
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: are way more first to come that have never happened
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: on the show in twenty years. And I would venture
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: to say that anything you've seen in previews is not
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: the most dramatic thing that happens, honestly, really, Yeah, you
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: and Nick are going to have an opportunity for some
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: more sweet conspiracy theories. Oh nice, Okay, really fun? Love
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: that was Did you have a favorite date activity or
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: as a favorite date in general that you can tease
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: for us? Well? Oh, coming up now, I can't well
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: what what I can but I mean, like, okay, so
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: like I love his dates and I hate his dates
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: because his dates are way better than my dates, Like
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: like the budgets are so jealous of him. Can you tell?
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Like I'm harboring a lot of resentments. Like I just
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: feel like everything Clayton gets is better than what I got,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Like I just I feel like that. It's like the
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: little brother always gets like big better gifts and everything
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: gets better closed. Clayton's like that dude took a helicopter
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: and landed it on a yacht Russian Olio dark style
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: and then jumped into a hot tub and pop champagne.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: I wrote an elephant. Yeah, no, I get it. They
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: definitely have amped up like the emission Impossible scenes totally.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: And it's like where he gets to travel and go
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: around the world, like I like, no, no disrespect to Washington,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: d C in Quebec City, like I love those cities.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: That was kind of my peak. That was like sort
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: of my mount Ever's pinnacle. Clayton's jets say, He's about
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: the jet set around the world, go to all these
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: amazing places and do things that like Russian oligarchs do. Jesse,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna make you feel better with one
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: last statement. You know what you had that Clayton doesn't
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: a spy. This is hard. It is harsh. By the way,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: I'll go ratings. Oh, I didn't have to. I didn't
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: have to go up against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Night or the College Football National Championship. But you were
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: an NFL quarterback, so like you had that too. That's
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: another one. Are you saying that people just love the
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: hair product? Yeah, you had really great hair in your
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: season two. All right, Jesse, thank you so much for
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: joining us. This was fun. We will hopefully have you
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: back throughout the season and we can talk about more
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: of those conspiracy theories that you say it's coming up.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Let's do it. Let's go go Brady, Go Bill Brady.
