• 2:21
  Speaker 2: he said when they announced that they were having a baby,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: not the gender reveal. He said, some of our friends
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: know the gender already, but then we faked some of
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: our friends out and sent them the fake gender just
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: to weed out who's our real friends aduced, not to
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: see if it got out there got leaked.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well that's good. I'm glad he doesn't think that
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: we're gonna leak his gender to the press.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: So we received this video probably like, I don't know,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: six weeks in advance of them actually revealed.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: It's like a long time ago, doesn't it.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: I feel like it's probably six weeks.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess I feel concept at time.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not really good with that.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: I thought, honestly, today today is Monday. I thought it
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: was Thursday for the longest time. Oh and then but
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: yesterday I thought it was Saturday. Saturday, I thought it
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: was Friday.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: So we received the video a couple weeks months ago,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: and we saw them pop the balloon and reveal it
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: was a girl. I'm not surprised at all by this. Uh,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: but Nick is going to be a very protective girl dad.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: And the caption that they that they captured this shared
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Instagram post was her first words will be boundaries. What
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: do you think of that?
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: I think it's very vile files of him. That's what
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: I think it is.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: What does that mean? It's not it's not very Nick
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: of him, but it's very vile files.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Uh yeah, what would if if Nick was being true
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: to himself, what would probably packers? No packers? Yeah?
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: No, what is Nick love? Nick loves like debating? Yeah, okay,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say, like, her first word will be
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: that debate.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: I mean that is funny. I mean, god, the poor
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: soul whoever tries to date his daughter? Oh my god,
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: the psychological evaluation. This man's gonna have to be Robert
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: de Niro, Yeah from parents.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh my gosh. Can you imagine the first meeting
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: will be like? And how he'll just try it? So
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: I always make fun of Nick and Jared because both
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: of them love to play devil's advocate and they both
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: love to argue, So the two of them could spend
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: hours defending a point of view that they both truly
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: don't believe in, but they'll take the position and just
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: fight to the death for that position.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: You know, I think Nick does well too, if I
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: think about it. I know he talks a lot, but
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: what Nick also does very well is let he lets
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: you talk, but almost to your detriment, where things will
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: just be coming out.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Of your mouth. He'll pick up on every single little
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: thing exactly, and whatever you say he will be used
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: against you in the court of Nick viol But let
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: me also say that I think that these two may
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: have lost out on a great a profession that was
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: a calling for both of them. It could have been
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: the have been in viol or, as Nick would insist
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: on the viall and habin my partners in law. Yeah
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: should you guys should Well, you could have gone to
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: law school together in LA But I guess we've all.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we have worked out time in the world to
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: do that. Now Nick and I will just go to
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: law school.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Ah No, but I'm talking a couple of years ago
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: when you guys used to live together.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we could have done that.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: We also are really enjoying Natalie's Instagram content hilarious. She
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: posted a TikTok the other day. I guess you put
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: it on Instagram too. She was like, we were out
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: baby shopping in New York and Nick calls her from
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: across the store and goes, I just found the perfect,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: like first outfit that I want to buy for our child.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: And did you see the picture? No, Jared, I have
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: to pull up my phone right now.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: So the outfit Ashley is speaking of is a pantsuit?
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Is that what you say?
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: It's definitely boyish, it's gray, and it is a pantsuit
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: for a toddler. Yeah, not even a toddler. That looks
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: like a first year outfit.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: I fully expect from this outfit that Nick wants his
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: little girl to run for president one day.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, I was gonna say, be the first guest, like
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: on the couch at the Vile Files.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Well that also, that's definitely She can wear the same
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: suit jacket to her interview on Vile Files and her
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: first town hall meeting.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I think this is going to be the
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: first girl of many children for Nick and Natalie. Actually,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I think they're going to have, well at least three,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: because he comes from a family in which he is
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: one of ten.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean there's a lot of kids. This really
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: goes without saying. I think both you and I think
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: that Nick and Natalie are just going to be fantastic parents.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Nick we've always thought Nick is going to be a
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: wonderful dad. We have no doubt about that. Natalie seems
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: like she's just going to be a fantastic mother, very loving, nurturing,
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: and they're so great together. Yeah, their daughter is going
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: to be very loved. So we're very excited for both them.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, those are two parents i'd like to be born
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: and important too, of course if I had to choose
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: other parents, of course than my own, which are the best.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Former Bachelorette star Katie Thurston joins f Boy Island for
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: season three on the c W. So you guys know
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: that the men who married us our love Alon Gale.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: He created the series and it was on the on
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Max or HBO Max whatever you want to call it,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: two seasons twenty one and twenty two, and now they
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: canceled it on Max, but they've moved it over to
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: the c W. And I feel like the tie to
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: a lawn and Katie, there has to be some sort
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: of tie there as to why he'd want her right.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, even though he didn't produce produce any of
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: the seasons that she was on. Uh, what do you
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: think it was about Katie that like Alon was probably
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: like I'd like to have her be a lead on
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: F Boy Island where if you guys don't know, F
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Boy Island basically there's three female leads. Then there's a
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: cast of like twenty something guys and oh yeah, thirteen
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: self proclaimed nice guys looking for love and thirteen self
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: proclaimed f boys looking to compete for cash.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Uh, there's probably a lot of reasons. One, I think
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Katie is single, she was a bachelor wrette, she's a
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: big name. Bring her on F Boy Island. She's very
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: open about her sex life.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: I think that has a lot to do with it.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Of course. Yeah, yeah, it seems like a perfect match.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: My question because the CW to me like I remember
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: watching Smallville in the flash. Yeah, yeah, I guess there's
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: you know, reality TV shows a model. Yeah, I'm curious
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: how salacious the show hows just show can be.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Well, he's give me more silaicious on MASX.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Of course, I mean that's HBO. You can be as
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: silicious as you want, Like, imagine sex and the city
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: on the CW.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, it would be like the edited version which
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: I watch on E all the time exactly.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, so I'm wonder if this is like an
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: edited version of f Boy Island.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: We'll see. Okay. Next up, Kendall Long and Blake Moines
• 9:23

  Speaker 2: all about her science facts. She gives cool animal facts
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: all the time. And then we know that Blake Moins
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: is basically like he's always been into I don't know,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: we do. You know what Blake Moyin said he was.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: He was basically a park ranger.

  Speaker 2: and bring awareness to critically endangered lemur species. That's cool.

  Speaker 2: I did these two ever? I don't They never cross
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: paths in Bachelor Nation.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know Bachelor it's like, especially if you're
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: into lemurs, there's only a small group of Bachelor reality
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: TV personalities.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Jared just looked up pictures of lemurs. They're kind of adorable,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: but they also have very scary eyes.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: You know, little babies. Look at those white eyes, especially
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: with the tongue out.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Would you go to Africa? Uh?
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: Sure, I mean probably not. I know, I don't want

• 10:43
  Speaker 3: It's not far from the truth, is it.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: I am becoming a little bit more like you because
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: it is like, oh, a pretty water view Rhode Island. Yeah,
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: there's like a lot there is. Rhode Island does offer
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: a lot geographically.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: If you want a city, sure we go to Providence,
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: or we could just go to Warwick, go to Root. No,
• 11:00

  Speaker 3: Chuck e cheese, Tell me what else do you?
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Okay?

  Speaker 3: Wait?
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: So yeah, Jared just in general, like anything out of
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: his physical comfort zone. He's actually worse than than me.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know how you got through Paradise because okay,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: so let's be honest here. Dean and Kiln are getting married,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: and he talked about this with them on Help I
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Suck at Beating Newly What It's their podcast together. He
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: was like, look, you guys, from your imitations to me
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: exploring what I can about this retreat center. Basically that
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: you're getting married at this seems all Dean Dean Kaylan is.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: The one who's like, I love the resort. I chose
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: that I begged Dean and then obviously.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: She didn't have the beg Dean, but did you did
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: you did you say like, this seems like I'm concerned
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: that I'm going to have like internet service at this
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: retreat center.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: No, I didn't say that, but do you feel it? Yes?
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: I feel it.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Jared loves his conveniences. He's like he needs to have
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: a strip mall within ten minutes of where he is.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: I can't deny. I can't deny that that is my
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: preference as well. Bachelor of Thumb Sarah Herron marries Dylan
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Brown an intimate Grand Canyon ceremony. So she was really
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: open about the fact that they were going to go
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: on this trip to the Grand Canyon and they were
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: going to get married. And then like a week after
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: I was realizing I was like, oh my god, I
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: haven't seen pictures yet. So she kind of went off
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: the grid for a little while and she just posted
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: a couple cute reels and the photos of them getting married.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: There's very few people in attendance. It was kind of
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: like obviously en elopement and she basically she wore a
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: wrinkly white dress. It was all very cute, but it
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: was all very Sarah because she she loves being immersed
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: in nature and she likes she just likes the earthy,
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: the you know, the earthy, simple things. And they were
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: just adorable. And they've had quite the year. If these
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: two can make it through what they have gone through,
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: they can make it through anything. As you know, they
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: lost their baby at about twenty weeks and yeah, so
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: they did it. They did it on August twenty seventh,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: at miles seventy five on the Colorado River, standing on
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: hot granite, wearing a wrinkly dress. And she said it
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: was granted.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Why is that so specific?
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: The barefoot assuming? So is this like barefoot barefoot ceremony?
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Man, that's a bonding moment right there.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: And then there is a picture on her Instagram it
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: says just married and the sign is attached to a
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: little river boat. Yeah, so cute.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: That is really cute. I mean, very happy for Sarah.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: Sarah we met I think I'm maybe I can't remember
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: if I met before Paradise, but she was on a
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: second season of Paradise and so sweet, just a really
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: really sweet soul.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: I'm so glad she like found her happily and her effort.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: That's also what she posted about on Instagram, just like
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: stepping out of the limo and like her journey of
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: love that continued after that. Well, this is really sad
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: and a really awful news. Yes, I'm so sorry that
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: we even have to discuss this. But Amanda Kaylor, who
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: was Eric? What is how do you say Eric's last name?
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: I don't know Eric, but you Gabby's Eric. She has
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: passed away at the age of twenty seven. It was
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: a suicide. The worst part about this is that she's
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: a single mom to a young a young child. I think, yeah,
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: he was born in twenty twenty.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: Three years old. Yeah, is do we know if Eric
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: is the father?
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: No, Eric's not the father. So her story and how
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: it relates to the Bachelor is that if you guys
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: remember Eric was caught on Gabby's season, well not like
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: wall Gabby season was airing, there were headlines about how
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: he was dating Amanda prior to going on the show,
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: like very very recently to going on the show. They
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: started dating in January of that year, and then he
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: started filming in March of that year. So after what
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: she says was a WorldWind romance. She told Reality Steve
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: in an interview in September of last year all the details,
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: but basically she said that they had quite the romance.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: And then he said, hey, I'm like, you know, in
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: March before he would go on the show, like very
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: soon before he could go on the show, he said, like,
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: I'm stuck in this career that I'm not happy with.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: I need a big change in my life, and like
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: going on The Bachelor can like possibly bring me that.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: And then a couple weeks later, like I feel like
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: maybe the day that he got his phone taken away
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: possibly like really close to them filming, he sent her
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: flowers and also sent her a text saying like this
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: is this was a mistake. I hope that like we
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: can see each other when I'm out of this and yeah,
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: and that's and then he ended up getting getting engaged
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: to Gabby, and obviously I don't think she heard from
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: him afterward, but that's obviously just her horrible horrible news.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just tragic news. Obviously, our thoughts are with uh,
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: specifically the Sun. You know, he's born January twenty sixth,
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty, so he's two years, two years old than
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: Dawson and a half. I can't imagine. Obviously, I thought's
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: go to the entire family that's being affected by this
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: and friends, but specifically the Sun, because I can't imagine she.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Was already a single mom, you know, so like we
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: don't even know how much the dad was involved in
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: his life.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I can only hope that the family is really
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: rallying together to this point to ensure that he is
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: in the best hands possible, which I'm sure they are.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: But just tragic, sad news all around. I mean, there's
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: nothing else to be said about that except just horrible,
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: absolutely horrible.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Bachelor Nations Blake Hortzman is sick of Team Caitlin or
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Team Jason after their recent split.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but is he Team Jason or Team Kaitlyn, like
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: we want to know.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: I think he's pretty close to both of them. So
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: he said, all right, I'm ready, I'm already sick of
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: this BS. He wrote those O on an instant story.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: There are no teams. These are two friends of mine
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: who gave everything they had to a relationship that didn't work.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: He also said, like, I think you think you are helping,
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: but you're not helping either of them by sliding into
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: DMS or attacking people in the comments section. Let them
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: heal on their own. They don't need your help. And
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: I think we can like echo those sediments. I mean,
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: I also think that these like two have it seems
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: amily amicably split. They just wasn't working for either one
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: of them. It seems like they're like on It's obviously hard,
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: but I do think that they're on good terms.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it seems like the breakup in Seinfeld where Jerry
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: has the first ever level playing breakup where it wasn't
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: one side or the other, they both just look at
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: each other like I hate you. That's great, all right,
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: I have a good life.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: See way to bring love in each of this man.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: But I I A they're definitely both going through it,
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: and I just really think that this was something like
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: I just there's nothing they're not even putting anything bad
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: about each other out there. That's another reason that, like
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: you just know, like there's so much love and respect there,
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: so like, why would you pick a team if there's
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: just obviously not one person who did any wrong.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we're also talking about people who are constantly commenting
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: on social media. Of course, everybody who's doing this is
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: just saying stupid stuff, even though there's a lot of
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: wonderfulness on social media. You know, we have a lot
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: of comments sometimes about us or Dawson that are very
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: positive and they make us feel fantastic. Yeah, but of
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: course there's a lot of dumb stuff too. That's just
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: what happens. It's the Internet. So I think, of course
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: there's gonna be people going at Blake being like, bro,
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: you can't be friends with Kaitlyn anymore. You got to
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: be team Jason or being like, hey, you should stick
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: with Kaitlyn. She needs you more right now than Jason does.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: Just what's gonna happen? People suck. It's quite all right,
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: that's my opinion on it right there. Yeah, So what
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: team are you on? Team Kaitlyn or t Jason.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: I am not on anyone's team. That's the correct answer,
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Will's Adams confesses that Bachelor Paradise ripped off Love Island.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: Now listen, I get what he's saying. Here. He goes
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: every season on Love Island basically they split the girls
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: from the guys, and then in season eight a Bachelor
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: in Paradise. Last season they split the girl from the guys.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: They brought the girls over to Vendonza, and then Wells goes, well,
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: guess what, no one's making news anymore. It's like everybody's
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: kind of copying each other. Like you know, Bachelor in
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Paradise was kind of the first really popular season's long
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: show where people are like dating in a tropical area,
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: and then Love Island came along and it's huge now too.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: So in a way, it's kind of like Love Island
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: ripped off Bachelor in Paradise. But you just told me
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: off the record that you think people are making news.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: Uh yeah, I think people rip people off. I think
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: people are making new stuff. I think it happens all
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: the time. I mean, how long how old is Love
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: is Blind? Two? Three years?
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: I would say it's maybe four years now?
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: Four All right, off, time flies by. But anyway, that
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: felt very new and fresh when it came out, and
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: that was only four years ago. And then what else
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: is uh? I mean, we're about to watch a seventy
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: year old bachelor.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: No, yeah, good point, bet.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: So I mean I think that there is being new stuff,
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: but I also I think it's both. I think there
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: are people who rip other people off because what's good
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: for McDonald's is good for a bird king. But at
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: the same time, I think there's new stuff as well.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: So it's just like, there's only so much you could
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: do with having people dat in a tropical location that's
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: different than the other show.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: That's so true.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: It's like, oh, well it's about love and we're at
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: a beach, and so you can like, well, this one's
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: about money and this one's about engagement or this one
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: blah blah blah blah blah. But yeah, it's all going
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: to be kind of similar concept. I didn't even think
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: about Love Island honestly when they did that thing last year.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: But also I don't.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: But you also never seen Love Island, I know, and
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: I have all been on around for it's been around
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: for quite some time. I couldn't get past episode one.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: I guess I was watching the UK version, which I
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: think is the original. I heard that's good and it
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: was so effing trashy I could not continue. I watched
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: one episode. Babe, Remember I told you that was the
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: guy who like said he had slept with four hundred women,
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: And I was like, I don't want to watch this.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: I mean, that is impressive and disgusting.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Okay, thank you. I knew that you were gonna say
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: disgusting and then you added impressive because you didn't want
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: to be super gudgic.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: It's like, my god, the energy that man must have.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like every night you have to go out and
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: like find someone.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: How old he was? I want to do the math
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: on that when he lost his virginity, Like how many
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: does the average a year?
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Sounds like a job, Okay. New headline
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Rodney Matthews hard launches with new girlfriend Ari, calling her
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: the love of his life. So wow, wait wait, wait,
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: why do you don't like that?
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: I'm just I hoped. I hope that they've been dating
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: for a very long time and this is a very secure,
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: stable relationship because Rodney's a very nice guy. But saying
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: he's loved that, like this person is the love of
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: his life. I hope it's not like two months in
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean. I hope it's like, oh,
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: we've been together for like six to eight months and
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: this is feeling really good.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: We actually don't know how long they've been together, but
• 23:11

• 23:14
  Speaker 2: happiest I've ever.

  Speaker 3: Been good for him.

  Speaker 2: Yeah, and there was a video and he wrote, the
• 23:20

• 23:22
  Speaker 2: night I'll never forget. Her name is Ari. We don't
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: know much more about her, but Bachelor Nation is very
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: happy to see the two of them together. We had
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: comments from Nate and Serene and Susie Evans and Mike Johnson. Interestingly,
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Andrew also Hard launched this week at Joe Instagrena's weir.

  Speaker 2: Up, this podcast is fun. This is fun, little tidbit fun.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: That's what we do here. We do fun things, guys.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: We're about fun.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: So Dylan Barber and Hannah they're just of course we
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: got married, they got married, we broke down their wedding.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: And forget that wedding.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: I know, it's like that thing. That wedding is like
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: hurt the competition to our wedding.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: I got news for you. It probably blew us out
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: of the water. Our wedding is amazing and beautiful, and
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: there's so many weddings within Bachelor Nation. But like if
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: you have a wedding like that in France with fireworks.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: The fireworks show was twenty minutes.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: Twenty minutes. Yeah, we talked about it. Help we so
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: I could be news. How much do you think that
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: wedding costs had at least a million?
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Well, it just depends on what the trades were. But
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: also it depends on what the the what the what
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: is it called? Like between the US dollar and the
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: France doll and like the euro.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: I can't imagine that's they had a twenty minute fireworks show.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and people who did our flowers did they did theirs,
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: and well we got a nice deal. And I'm sure
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: they got a nice deal anyway, So they went to
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: they went to the Maldives on their honeymoon, and on
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: the last day of their honeymoon, which was over a
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: week long, close to two weeks long, I think they
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: did this funny reel where it was like, oh, what
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: you think that your honeymoon would look like with the
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: last day of your honeymoon would look like super romantic,
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: like dancing under the stars. And then what like your
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: last day of your honeymoon really was? And it was
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: Dylan trying to break the world record in dim sum eating,
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: so he would need to eat thirty one dim sums
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: is how much you call it? A dim sum, like
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: a dim sum, like a dumpling, dim sum, dumpling in
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: two minutes. He said that the whole result was going
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: to come to watch. Let's go. Do you think I
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: can do it? And then Hannah said yes, one million percent.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: And then Hannah and Dylan arrive at the restaurant and
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: the staff was waiting there ready to watch Dylan attempt
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: to break the record. And he says the staff it
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: has totally hooked them up with thirty two dim sum
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: dumplings waiting for them. When they got there, he was
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: a little nervous because the entire resort showed up, and
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: he goes, the second I started, I realized there was
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: absolutely no chance I was gonna be able to do this.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: I almost threw up in like five dim sums in
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: it was pretty impossible. I don't know how the winner
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: of this world record has ever done this. I'm not
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: a quitter, so I decided to keep trying to find
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: some random world records to try to beat once he
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: gets home.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: Fantastic.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: You would never be able to do.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: This sounds like a choking hazard.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: It does. It really really does, because.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: Those dim sums what's in the middle of them?
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: Beef?
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's like it's not a meatball, but.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: And how chewy? Yeah? The the what is the dumpling?
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: Shit casing is just.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, everything about this don't like it. Dylan survives.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Well that's that. We appreciate you guys
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: being here, and again tomorrow we'll have Raven Gates on.
