• 0:49
  Speaker 3: but it is very much my own.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, your hair is amazing. I thought that
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: it was definitely there was definitely extensions in there.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: I think I saw so many comments. I was like, no,
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: it's mine. I grew I need credit for it.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, we have to give you credit here. I'm glad
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: that I'm bringing this up because it deserves all the
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: credit in the world. No.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: I mean I've just never gotten any work done, but
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: I've always wanted to just like just like a little tweaks.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Like I feel like people are so against it sometimes,
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: and I'm like, well, if it's out there and I
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: can like tweak something that I'm looking at in the
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: mirror every day that I really don't like, then I
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: might as well give myself a little boost of confidence.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Well, you look amazing and you look great in all
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: the promos. Are you going with your PA school? I
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: know that this is like probably like the boring stuff
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: to talk about a career, but with PA school, what
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: do you want to do with it?
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: So is it a sthetics?
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: No, well, I don't know yet. I'm not totally sure yet.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: I really really like working in the emergency room. So
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: I had a rotation that's before I left. You know,
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: you're helping somebody feel better in some kind of way,
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: you know, whether that's emotional or physical. But I really
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: want to work in the er because I just I'm
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: the kind of person that gets bored really easily. So
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: I like having like different cases all the time. So
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: I want to start in that. I mean, I do
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: maybe want to like work part time in aesthetics at
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: some point, I think it's fun.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Oh, oh, it's so fun. I was going to say,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: if you're going into esthetics, I've always been like the
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: career that I could have taken had I not gone
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: in this pop cultury route would have been like kind
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: of opening my own being a PA and opening a medspa.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: So hey, we'll see, maybe the roads will lead us
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: there and we can work on that together.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: I kind of like, retire and open up a medical spa,
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Like that's definitely in the works for later later on.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: I guess retire and opening up a business, Joe makes sense,
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: but like, retire from like the er and then open
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: up a medical spot.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: I like, your all your goals, all your goals are great.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: We see that there's a couple doctors, nurses pas in
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: your cast list. Was that something that got guys possibly
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: like further because you had that in common.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Oh, it definitely made me. It definitely made them hotter
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: to me, because I think it's really like when you
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: were able to when somebody's in the medical field and
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: can understand the things that you're talking about and can
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: understand what your day to day life is, it just
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: kind of makes things easier and you don't have to
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: explain so much. And also, I think people in medicine
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: themselves are really really compassionate people, So to just kind
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: of have that box already ticked off was really cool.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: What's your normal physical type?
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Normal physical type? I usually go for like tall, dark
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: and handsome, like very basic. I feel like I've always
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: dated brunettes, mostly love some facial hair, and yeah, that's
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: been pretty much like my physical type.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: When you saw the guys come out of the limo,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: were you like, Okay, great, good, Bat's going to be
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: hard to decide or were you thinking it's going to
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: be hard for me to be open to everyone because
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: there was a couple that stand out so much.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: So the thing is I think that with like there's
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: obviously like physical attraction and then emotional attraction. I think
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: the thing that wins me over most of the time
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: is more emotional attraction. So, yes, there were a lot
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: that were physically attractive, but I was also like trying
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: to emotionally connect with them too, and so once I
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: really got to kind of like get to know a
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: lot of them, that's where I was like, oh, okay,
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: like I'm in trouble you know.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Okay, So was there anybody that you after going through
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: the whole season, have been like, oh, I love that
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: I let that one go. So you've arked too early.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: God, No, I don't have regrets about anything. I'm just
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: like not that kind of person. I think everything happens
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: for a reason, and I'm really confident in a lot
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: of my decisions while I was in the process.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: So yeah, amazing. Well you are the first Asian American bachelorette,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: and congratulations and thank you for bringing the diversity to
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: the show.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: What does that mean to you?
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just been really surreal. I feel so honored
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: and so grateful a lot to be in this role.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: And it's like, it's kind of funny because growing up,
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: I never really had a role model of an Asian
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: American in the media because there weren't a lot, and
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: so to now kind of become that role model in
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: the media now and to lead my own love story
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: and be a main character is huge. It's kind of
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: full circle and it's really healing to me, and I
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: know that it's going to inspire so many other Asian
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: Americans as well in terms of like being able to
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: see themselves on screen and being able to see their
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: stories in whatever way that they can relate to on screen.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: It's so important to be exposed to things that are
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: different than yourself will also alike to yourself, so that
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: you can see the potential that you could have. You know,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: to know that you're not you're not alone, and you're
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: not different.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: I remember you telling Joey that you were almost concerned
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: about hometowns because you didn't think that your parents were
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: going to be super receptive to this whole process of
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: finding love in this obscure type of way.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, total, How did they play a role in this season?
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: And how did they react when it was like not
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: only am I gonna go on the show, I'm actually
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: going to be the lead now.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: Uh. They reacted the exact way that I thought that
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: they were react. They were like my mom was like,
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: are you sure you want to do that? She was like, listen,
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna be on TV, so you're gonna have
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: to hire a fake mom. She was like okay, So
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: she was still like I'm not doing it, so it's crazy.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: But now she's obviously been so so supportive and like
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: since i've taken the role and kind of explained to her,
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: like I like my thought process on everything, and like
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: just gave her a window into like how I was
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: feeling about it. She kind underst me a bit more
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: and it was easier for her to come to terms
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: with the fact that I was going to do this
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: and she's been so supportive.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's good. So does she end up making her
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: TV debut?
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, okay, yeah, she definitely makes her TV debut
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: and she does not hold back.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm excited to see the hometowns. Then, is that
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: when we're going to meet.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: Her during Meet the Family? Yeah?
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Okay, oh yeah, that's right. Not yeah, that's further along. Okay.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: So Ben and I play this game where we go
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: through the cast and we see like we like kind
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: of like do snap judgments on them, and some of them.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: There is this one like a monumental moment for me
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: because everybody always makes fun of the cast photos, right,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: and how like they never are as good as what
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: they look like in real life. Right, It's so crazy.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: So I said, there was this guy at the end
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: of the cast list, Tomas, and I was like, this
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: guy looks like a nerd bomber, and then I looked
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: at his Instagram and I was like, absolutely not. This
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: guy's super hot.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, yeah, totally. It's funny how these photos
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: like I sparely get the worst angles because I didn't
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: even like my photo and I was like, I feel
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: like I looked completely different. It's it's crazy, I know.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: So I was gonna say, did you when you saw
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: the cast list when they came out, where you're like,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: this is representative of my guys or not?
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: Oh like when the photos came out, yeah, a few
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: weeks ago. Yeah, I I don't know. I think I
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: thought so for me, you know what, you're.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Always you're already yeah.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Credit, So for me, I was like, yeah, this looks
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: exactly like like all of them.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: All right, well, I'm excited to like kind of meet them.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Let's go through a few right now. Aaron is already
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: getting a lot of buzz they have. They have like
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: a commercial with him in it because he's well it
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: helps that he's Noah's brother. What can we can you
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: tease anything about your relationship with him?
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean he was always very intentional since the beginning,
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: and he came in on a motorcycle. So yeah, it
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: was definitely a really good connection.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Okay, Sam n reminds us of like, well some sort
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: of like country bad boy. Is that what he's like?
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: I would say you're pretty accurate in that. Yeah, I think.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: So, okay, can you give us a And then Matt?
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: We were like, Matt has such an interesting look. How
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: does how does he play in the house?
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: I feel like he really gave off so much like
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: sweet boy energy, you know, so I think it's gonna
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: be a lot of like you're just gonna be really
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: surprised by his personality for sure.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Okay, Grant, Grant looks like he might be too good
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: to be true.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: I don't know if I would say that. I think Grant, Yeah,
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's very good looking. He played basketball. I'm
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: a sucker for athletes.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: So all right, can you give us like five guys
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: that we should be on the lookout for? Are you
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: allowed to?
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: Am I allowed to? I don't think so? Sadly, unfortunately,
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: I think that that would be giving away way too much.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Come on, Okay, fine, then I would love to. Like
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: later in the season, we do this thing where we
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: ask we like narrow down to the names and then
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: we say which guy. Basically, can't you keep a straight
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: face with when you're when you're saying his name, because
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: that's telling. But I can't I go through thirty names
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: with you right now.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: To way too money. Thank God, I'm gonna practice my
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: poker face until then.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Well okay, wait, let's let's practice your poker face right now,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: real quick? Do you have a happy ending?
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: I'm very happy with the way things panned out, and
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: I'm very happy with Yeah, I'm very happy with the ending.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Are you engaged, Ashley?
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: No, I can't tell you.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: That, okay, but are you smiling? I need to get
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: your reaction, your body language, all that.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I'm happy with the way things ended
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: for sure.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Interesting. So they're not letting you say you're engaged or
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: that you're with somebody, because sometimes they let you say that.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: I didn't know that.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, all right, all right, Well easy question for you.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: You love to foster cats, So what happens if the
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: guy that you pick doesn't like cats or he's allergic
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: to cats?
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: He's gonna just have to take a bed and troll
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: every day that we're together.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: Every day he's gonna go have to get the weekly shot.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: He's gonna have to get like an IV of beta.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Drill at that.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: That's how important the cats are to you. I love that.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: I love they give you a boost of serotonin like
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: nobody else can do.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: That is so cute. My son is obsessed with cats.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: I am, like, maybe very mildly allergic. When my sister
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: and my mom are definitely allergic and I can't get one.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: I would totally get one, but I mean then they
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: can never come and visit and help.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: So honestly, I'm mildly allergic too, and it is it's
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: so painful because every time I touch my eyes right
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: after him, like yeah, like you know, you shouldn't be
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: doing that, And then I'm like, sure, I shouldn't be
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: having a cat in the first place. But it's fine,
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: It's all worth it.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: What did you do that was different from Joey? Like
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: did you go into your season being like love Joey?
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: He was a great bachelor. But I'm gonna do I'm
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: gonna edit this part.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: I don't think so like I I mean, I don't
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: really know his mentality going into it or like how
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: he made his decisions. But for me, I really tried
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: to do it in my own way and be as
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: authentic to myself like as possible, and like as you
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: saw on Night one, like, I take kissing somebody in
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: that level of affection very seriously. So for me, I
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: was like, I'm not gonna kiss everybody on Nightline because
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: I know myself and I know I'm not gonna have
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: a connection with everybody. But I also wasn't gonna restrict myself.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: I wasn't going into it being like I'm not going
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: to kiss anybody. But I left it up to me
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: and how I felt with each individual relationship.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Okay, I was gonna say, have you were you a
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Bachelor fan for a long time?
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: Okay, so funny enough. No, I my friends and stuff
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: would watch in college and I would be like, I'm
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: not into reality TV, Like I don't do that. And
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: then after college, I got into Matt James's season, which
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: is the first season I watched, and then I watched
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: a couple of seasons after that. But I my first
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: real exposure to Bachelor Nation was actually you and Jared
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: What which is hilarious because this just came to my
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: memory right now.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: As I look like a crazy person right now, She
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: tells me that I played her role.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: A huge role actually, because it's funny. I like, I'm
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: such a hopeless romantic. I've been through so many toxic
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: relationships and I think I was just like in the
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: deep like rabbit hole on YouTube of like looking up
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: like love stories or something, and yours and Jared's came
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: up like your interview talking about like, yeah, your time
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: on the show and how you were chasing him and
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: he didn't like you at first all too much whatever,
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: And I was like, that's my that's the story of
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: my life. This is gonna be me, Like I'm going
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: to turn the bad boy into loving me.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: What that is so crazy? You watched it without having
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: watched us on Paradise.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so then after I went thank you. Yeah, well,
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: it was like it was a really beautiful interview. And
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: I think that was around the time of your wedding,
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: or maybe I saw it and then saw your wedding,
• 14:55

• 15:03
  Speaker 2: to ask you if you had a role model going
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: into it, like what kind of like bachelorette you wanted
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: to be? Was like they're a favorite, or did you
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: want to pick and choose?
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: Not really because I hadn't really seen a lot of
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: the seasons of the Bachelerette yet, but like after watching
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: Matt James' season, I did watch Michelle young season, so
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: I definitely saw how she moved about her season and
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: she was so poisoned to coffin.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: She was an amazing bachelorette.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I was like, I'm a chaotic mess, Like
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: I don't know how you even got into this, So
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: it was it was hard. I was like, I don't
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: know if I fit this role. But I did have
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: a phone call with her, like before I even accepted
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: the role of the Bacherette, because I really wanted to know,
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: especially from a person of color standpoint, like how she
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: felt about everything.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: How did you feel about everybody being like, oh, but
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: we wanted it to be Maria Daisy.

  Speaker 3: wanted this person on this person, she sucks, she's boring.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: It's like all of this hate was just like building

  Speaker 3: Yeah, so go knocking on her door if you want
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: to find out.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: That's awesome. I got one more question for you, what
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: is how do you deal with the stage fright that
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: you have when you're the bachelorette, because now you are
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: on such a public stage and basically every single way
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: you did a TikTok about about that about your stage.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I remember. It's honestly, I still get nervous
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: all the time, like doing interviews and making speeches or
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: just like being on a camera in general. It's like
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: obviously very it's not it's not a normal thing for me. Uh.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: It's not something I'm used to. And I'm definitely getting
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: more used to it as time goes on because it's
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: just been exposed to it so much. But I really
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: just try to be myself as as much as I can.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: And and you know, sometimes I'm like I'm having an
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: off day, I'm not as funny as I can be.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: Or sometimes I'm having a really good day and I'm like, oh,
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: like I really was, like I shined and I was
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: like one hundred percent myself. But I think I just
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: need to remember that I'm human and I can't be
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: like one hundred percent all the time and some days
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: I'm just gonna have bad days. And hey, that's the
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: reality of it. I'm human.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Well, I think You'll be very relatable and people are
• 19:24

• 19:26
