• 0:43
  Speaker 3: Literally it has not stopped, but we're approaching the ending.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: So I mean, I do remember this time during the circuit, Yeah,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: kind of not really well at all. Like I I
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: was watching you this morning on television and my wife said,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: do you remember going on those and there's moments and
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: bits and pieces.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: I yeah.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: I always tried to soak it in because you don't
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: know when it's gonna you know, stop and you don't
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: get invited back again. But it's exhausting and you're asked
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: the same questions very often and over.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: We're gonna try to be a little different.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Okay, but yeah, it's like a lot of repetition. But
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: that's that's the exhausting part. But then always obviously so
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: many different press and stuff, so just trying to be present,
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: but also I'm like, yeah, I just need to slow
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: down for a second.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Okay, A couple of questions for you off the bat here,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: since you in the media circuit, who has been your
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: favorite person you've met that you had at one point
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: watched on television but now you're sitting with them in
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: some type of studio.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Jennifer Hudson hands down. I was on that beforehand, so yeah,
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: I listened to her music growing up, loved her. She
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: was like my first Broadway show. So I was like, okay,
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: this is a moment. She seems so nice and she
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: is so so nice.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: And uh, do you still get nerves? Like are you
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: were you nervous this morning when you woke up knowing
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: what your day was going to look like? I mean,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: I know, coming on the almost famous podcast probably made
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: you in the little nervous and makes everybody. Yeah, but
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: outside of us, where their nerves leading up to today?
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: No? I mean, I think because I've done it so
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: much at this point, and like you said, it's like
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: I've been asked, you know, very similar questions. But also
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: it's like a lived experience at this point. I think beforehand,
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: it's like anticipating and don't really know what's going to
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: happen before filming. But now that it's all said and done,
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: I can answer these questions. I can talk about it
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: as much as I can. But yeah, no, no nerves
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: at all. I'm just like, let's do it.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I always felt super nervous, really, yeah, I was. I
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: always got the nervous stomach. I always, you know, had
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: to go to the bathroom like two seconds before I
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: was walking out. And I was mostly nervous. Not as
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: much about being on television, because you do kind of
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: get used to that. Yeah, but it was about giving
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: away something on the season that would make hundreds of
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: people upset. Do you had that fear at all?
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: I will say yeah. I kind of am more mindful
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: of like my answers, which I kind of hate because
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: it's like I feel like it limits me and my
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: personality a little bit of how I talk about stuff.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: That is a very I will say, yeah, that part
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: does give me nerves, but like in the grand scheme
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: of just like obviously talking about the season, like I
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: get excited, I really do.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So okay with that question being asked, Yeah, you
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: don't thin give us way anything. That's not what we're here.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: And none of our listeners want to be spoiled at.
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: All, trust me, we shouldn't do this smile to us.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Well we might at the end. Okay, but is there
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: could you at least tell us is there things on
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: your season that you are when somebody does ask you
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: a question? Yeah, you are not speaking about because they're
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: going to be twists and turns and surprises that you
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: are keep being secret to you. Or is this just
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: hiding the end of the season where you don't want
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: to give away how this ends.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: I don't. Well, obviously I know I can't give away
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: how the season ends, but I will say it's definitely
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: with the twist and turns, there's a lot that kind
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: of picks up towards the middle end that I feel
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: like a lot of people aren't going to be expecting.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: And so that is definitely for myself because I'm like,
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: I know how this plays out. You guys don't. So
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: you guys need to sit tight in and watch this thing.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: On bold yeap that makes more exciting.
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: So we've been seeing you know, seasons, seasons of the
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: season long preview that is super traumatic. And there's like
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: that one moment that we're supposedly waiting for.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: You know, it's.
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: Notoriously Colton's fence jump. Yeah, do you have a moment
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: like that? Because we don't really see anything in the teaser.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: I feel like, okay, so in the teaser there is
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: a sole single shoe. It's a Cinderella moment that is
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: like that, I would say compared to Colton's fence jump.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: That is my fence jomp that has been truly in
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: the fan. And I'm like, all right, yeah, so that's
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: later down the road, but it's there. It's definitely there.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Well you also, I mean, a big storyline even today
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: on television has been that you fell in love with
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: two people. Yeah, I mean I saw you answer it on
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Good Morning America and say you didn't expect it, you
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: didn't know it was possible. Walk us through how that
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: happened for you. From my seat, there's no judgment, and
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: so I want to know how you get to a
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: place where that happens, and then maybe if you don't
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: mind once you realize you're in love with multiple people.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: What was like, what was your reaction to that about yourself?
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, how did I get there? I think
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: coming into it, obviously, like I said, it's like I
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: didn't fully expect it because the idea of it, and
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: like hearing this outside of like the Bachelor world, it
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: sounds crazy to be like, oh, like you're falling in
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: love with two people or you're in love with two people.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: It doesn't make sense. And so I was like, that
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: can't happen. But obviously now that I'm in the position
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: for it to happen, I think for me, it's like
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: I wanted to show up in every single relationship and
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: give one hundred percent of myself to every single relationship
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: because as we know it, anything can change in a
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: matter of hours days, Like one day you're on a
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: date and then you go on a date the next day,
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: and it's like people like it's always moving. So I
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: think with that and then me like showing up and
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: giving myself one hundred percent and every time definitely played
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: the full role into how I got to the point
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: of like being in love with two people, and so
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: how did that make sense of that? How did I
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: narrow it down to just the person? The whole time
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: I was filming, I journaled, so I had a lot
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: of thoughts obviously, but like trans those thoughts onto paper
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: for me was so beneficial because you're moving, I'm exhausted,
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: but like to be able to go back and reflect,
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: like what happened on this day, Like what was I
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: feeling in this moment? Like that was? That was so
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: helpful for me. And so being able to kind of
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: take myself back to those moments, place myself of place
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: myself in what I felt, Okay, what happened and how
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: did I feel? All those things kind of helped me
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: just like narrow it down. But then also it's just
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: like I had a gut feeling like this is potentially
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: like this could be my person If that makes sense?
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: It does? It does? I don't. I don't know if
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: you watched season twenty of The Bachelor actually.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: Years ago, you fan, Oh.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I watched. I didn't see your season, but I
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: watched like seasons here and there.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Well, if you go back and you want to feel
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: better about yourself, you could watch when I said it
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: to two people, and I remember I journaled too, and
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: I remember it almost There was freedom when I allowed
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: myself to be like, no, I am, and I don't
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: know if it's I don't know if it's right or wrong.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know how, you know, necessarily like how somebody
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: can feel this way, but I am, and now what
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: do I do with this? There was freedom in that
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: because for a while I was rejecting it. And so
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm excited to watch that process for you. Yeah,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: fall along on that storyline.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: Well, Charlie, I have some fun questions for you regarding
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: what we've already seen on the season.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: All right, let's see.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: Brayden's ear rings turn on or turn off?
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: God?
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: I will say, at first they were like cute. I
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: was like, okay, like he's.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: The diamond stud's cute right temple.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: But then like I feel like as every time I
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: saw him, like there was like something extra ad it
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: and I was like, what is happening? So I want
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: to say a little bit of a turn off as
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: they became more just.
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: Elaborate, started off conservative with the diamond studs.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: We've you said when we started watching you said, Hey,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: the diamond studs are pretty nice, and then yeah, they
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: got longer and like more stuff.
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: Feather is coming down his are like what?
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: I was like, what happy?
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: Did even Jesse say something along the lines of like, Breiden,
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: your outfit screams that you feel safe. I was like, yes, yes, okay, Well,
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: watching back, do you think that you'd still have given
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: brand in the first impression?
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: Rose?
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: I have been kind of defending him. Look, I know,
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: don't respond to the spot. You can respond with your
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: facial expressions, but I know the guy gives out red flags.
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: But I've been defending your choices a lot because I
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: understand that, like at first impression, he definitely comes across
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: as like the sexiest one with the most sweat.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: Yes, and you are not wrong because it's exactly what
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: I felt. I was like, oh, and we know how
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: chaotic night one is. It's like you're having so many conversations,
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: so I was like, okay. I talked to Braydon like
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: some towards the middle and sitting down with him, I
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: was like, oh, like it was just like so natural,
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: it was organic, Like I didn't feel like I had
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: to like sit, you know, think through necessarily conversation of like, oh,
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: these are the key points, like it just came, it flowed,
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: and then obviously we just like had good energy around
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: each other. He is so charismatic for sure, very attractive.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: So I mean it's like a win win.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: Here there we go. Okay.
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: So I even say, watching you back on the first
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: two episodes, I could see myself giving him the first impression, Rose,
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: So do you still watching back and be like, yeah,
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: I get why I gave him the first impression.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: Oh, I definitely do. I understand why I gave him
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: and that's not changing, okaye. Progress Episode two came out
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: a little bit of shock for me, but yeah, definitely
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: Night one that stand by that.
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: All right, cool, all right, thank you, thank you.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: So, if you had to, I know they've watched a
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: few seasons here or there, rank your guys amongst the
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: other seasons of the Bachelor, like on like a median line,
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: where do you think they would fall? And you could
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: just be totally honest, like first impressions coming out of
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: the limo, were you like.
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: Or are you like? WHOA?
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: Okay? I think I started off as that and but
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: then it picked up so I was like, oh, like
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: and I obviously once I got to talk to them,
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: I was like, no, these are actually like stellar guys,
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: like I have a great like cast of men and
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: in the in comparison to like, I guess other seasons
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: that I've seen, I will say, like they're up there,
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: they're like probably Like I mean, I'm a little biased obviously, time,
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: like I feel like they're they're one of the best.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's good. Well, we are happy to hear
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: you feel that way.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: Is that is because of you know, at first you're
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: a little like math, this is gonna be great, but
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: you know not, Is it because their personalities over time
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: just shine and you found that you had a lot
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: of really good supportive people on your season or was
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: this that they actually became maybe the yeah, better looking
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: because yeah.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's definitely personalities. And then like I'm looking at
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: the whole picture here. It's like there they have great creators,
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: great jobs, a lot of the most part are like
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: very mature, and it felt like, okay, like they genuinely
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: are like trying to you know, settle down or get
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: to a point where they're pursuing a long term relationship
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: and not just here for whatever so for me, that
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: was like, Okay, this stands out, and I think as
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: you can as a season PROGRESSI you'll see like the
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: interactions with not just like them with me, but like
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: also with the guys. Like that's a big tailtale sign.
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: Tom all right, So, speaking of like the hotty user
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: from her season, we definitely ranked Joey amongst the top
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: of those. However, we don't think that a three minute
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: kiss in public could possibly actually be sexy.
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: Please tell us how it really felt.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: Okay, honestly, it wasn't bad, Like it wasn't at all
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: like it was a great kiss. It was long, but
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: I will say like the minute or the record that
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: we broke was three minutes and twenty two seconds, So you, Joey,
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: I think passed up until like four minutes and twenty
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: six or twelve.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: Oh you guys had to take it that far.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: Well, that's the thing. It's like we didn't realize. I
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: was like waiting for them to be like you I did,
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: but like we did, we were so like just locked in.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: We didn't didn't hear anything else. So so then we
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: were like we saw everyone else like just kind of
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: get crazy, and we're like, oh, we need to stop.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: But it was just a moment, like it was just
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: us too, Like I literally no crowd, no nothing.
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: Just oh yeah, so good to know in our future predictions. Now,
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: we did see the scene from the you know, the
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: preview that he used. There was a big lick in there.
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: There's like a big tongue moment, and and we were
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: really concerned about Joey going forward.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: From that no other reason other than the fact that
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: I saw his tongue start at your bottom lip.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: And I saw that too, and I was like, I
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: don't even remember that happening. But we had to get creative,
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: I mean truly, but that was not the still showing
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: that I wanted America to see, but I think it was.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: It was pretty quick, so I don't really like a
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: whole drastic tongue moment.
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: But yeah, so I was in the midst of that,
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: and it really wasn't the It wasn't the majority of
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: the time. It didn't distract from the kiss. It was Okay,
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: he's not a big rosy and if you just.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Started making out with somebody, and that's what they did,
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: like the whole time, they just.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: Like not breaking the record, like it just would have
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: not sorry, there's there's a sex in the City episode
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: about that.
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: I feel like every girl in her life has had
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: that experience.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: That's weird.
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: So right now I'm feeling like Adrian is currently the tattletale.
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: He is like the mister.
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: Right Reasons Police. He and like he never cracked a smile.
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: He's dead serious about everything, and somebody called him out?
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: Was it who called him out? Last week?
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: We liked.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: He was like, you need to spend your time like
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: getting a no charity, not like focusing or like talking
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: about other guys. Correct.
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: So it's not the fact that he's like the Right
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: Reasons Police that turns me off. It's like the fact
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: that he's so dead serious about it.
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: So how did you feel about Adrian?
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, so when I had conversations with Adrian, it's
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: like that wasn't the whole like face of our conversation.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: It came up and like you said, it was like
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: very serious too. But I came in I was like,
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: I don't really want to know everything that's going on
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: in the house because I think it serves sometimes as
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: a distraction and from me. I can sometimes get super
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: fixated on things. So when he like brought those things
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: to my attention. It's like, Okay, I'm grateful, but in
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: a way, it's like, why why are you not like
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: just wanting to like focus on yourself and like focus
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: on us and like spend because time is precious, Like
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: we don't have all the time in the world, So
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: why are we talking about somebody else? But obviously, with
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: watching the episode back, it's like, Okay, well, yeah, it
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: clearly was a big deal. But also I think it's
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: just like he was straight after like Brandon, So I
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: don't know. Yeah, it's it's definitely interesting.
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: But I know you have a couple of questions about
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: our fans.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Okay, we saw in this episode. I have two big
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: questions about your family. Now, Okay, how in the world
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: has your parents been married for forty six years?
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: Okay forty eight Okay, yes, forty eight years. And that's
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: the thing I know they everyone has. It's a burning question.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: My parents look so young, great jeans, but my mom
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: is sixty four, my dad's sixty six.
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: It was, yeah, the math that would really make sense
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: unless they were very young.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: So I will say my mom was eighteen or seventeen,
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: and then my my mom was seventeen my dad was
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: or nineteen Yeah, that's the right math there, three years
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: afore something like that. Yeah, so got married young. My
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: dad went to the military after.
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: So okay, okay, it's it's incredible, Like my mom got
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: married when she was twenty, which was young, and I
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: look back on that now, yeah, and that was fourteen
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: years ago for me, Like, that's that's incredible to me
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: that you got married, Like I would have gotten married.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Four I would have been married for fourteen years at
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: this point, exactly.
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: Wild wild, Hey, Charity. So they didn't have kids though
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: for quite some time.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: Well, so that's the thing. A lot of people don't
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: know the age gap too. So I have two other siblings.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: I have another brother and another sister. So there's a
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: six year gap between me and my sister.
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: Oh darn yes.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: So my parents had my sister she's the oldest, and
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: then my brother.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: And they're like they started it all over again, Yes.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: And they waited twelve years to start completely over, had
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: Ne and Maya and then had me. So no one
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: gets the dynamic because it doesn't make sense. You look
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: at all of us and we're like, oh, like everyone's
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: close in age. Your parents look so young but I'm
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: like forty eight years and then me and my sister
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: are sixteen years a party, it doesn't make sense.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're like, let's have one more kid. And this
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: kid goes on national television and dage a bunch of
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Peo people.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: All the men in the world.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: They had to get a little surprised they did there.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: So all right, So speaking to me, Amyah, do you
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: wish you would have step around longer? Like, would you
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: been cool if you would have said, Hey, I'm actually
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: going to be here for the next five weeks.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: Kind of hide Now, five weeks is too long. I
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: wouldn't mind if he stayed for like maybe like two
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: more weeks. Considering how everything plays out, I think it
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: would have been hilarious had he stayed for like any
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: a week or two and definitely been able to give
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: me a little bit more insight. But I think, yeah,
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: what what he gave me night one was was plenty.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: You're coming for his sanity in a lot of ways too. Yeah,
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: I would imagine that he needed to get out of
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: there because he could only hear about his sister making
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: out with people so many times before he like blew
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: AGAs exactly.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: The whole episode, Like we were just cracking up at
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: his facial expressions because I obviously know my brother so well,
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: but like people in his life too, It's like he
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: has this like cringe smell that he does, and so
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: every time like a guy was coming back was like
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: I just said, how to talk with Trinity went so good?
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: Or like Brandon obviously talking about the kids, like he
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: just had this awkward smell, like just like he was
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: so uncomfortable.
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: You're steep comment was so reright on, and I was like,
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: I like these people.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: It was accurate.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Well, I have two more big questions for you. One,
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: I always like find this out because everybody's answering a
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: little different. Yeah, looking back now through your process and
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: you're still in it, your season is just hearing. What
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: was your least favorite part about being a Bachelor, Like
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: when you were filming the show and you'd have with
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: some times that were quiet, which are very few and
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: far between, what did you like be like I hate this,
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Like I don't like doing this.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: I would say, uh, Rose ceremonies easily, like sending people home.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: That was really hard for me. It was hard for
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: me all night one and I was like I just
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: met these people what's going on? But obviously it picks
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: up as the season progresses. But I'm a person I
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: just like no matter if that's like my person for life,
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: a friend, like when I connect with the person, like
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: to have to say goodbye and then also know like
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: for them like they have like this vision like oh,
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: I could potentially be there life partner too, so then
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: it's very hard for them to come to terms with that.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: Like that was really hard. And then just obviously knowing
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: like I'm probably not gonna be able to see them
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: again or whenever I do it be at Mentel all.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: But yeah, it was hard. It was awful. I cried everybody.
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: Besides love, what was your favorite part? Like did you
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: like the glam and the dresses and all that or.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: That's what Ashley is So Ashley asked that question, says
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: the glam and the dresses because that's what she loves.
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: Like I'm hoping you said the same thing you Cater too.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: You're not wrong. The glam like just being able to
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: pick out the outfits and like working with Carrie was
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: my favorite thing because you'll see a lot of like
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: my style incorporated into this season, which obviously any bachelor
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: at stream is like, okay, like I want my style
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: to like transpire, and we did exactly that. So even
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: if I had like a bad night, I got to
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: wake up and no, I get to put on this
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: like awesome fit and look great.
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: Definitely, that definitely amps you up to get ready for
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: another j another road ceremony.
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: You're like, well, at least I get to a little Okay.
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: Burning question for me is if you were to pick
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: a top four based on what you felt after week two.
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: Which is what we've seen so far, Okay, what would
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: you who would you have picked?
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: Okay, after week two top four? I will say.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: It's okay if you have to say Braiden.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: You know what, you.
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: Don't need a spoiler to know this girl did not
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: pick Braiden.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: But I'm like, let's let's actually go back to what
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: I was truly probably feeling in that moment. I will say, oh, Braiden,
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: because I did not know everything that was going on.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: It was just what all so writ in Warwick, Joey
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: and Aaron Bean.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: That helps. It helps give us perspective here on kind
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: of where your head was at. That's good because it
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: changes a lot, I'm sure it does for you too. Everywhere, Yeah,
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: every direction it works.
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: The shock or not bunched us. We have not talked
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: about him.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: Right, he hasn't. Yeah, you haven't seen I don't think
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: necessarily a lot, But in that moment, for sure, I was.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: It's always helpful, and you know you made a comment there,
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: and I always like to clarify. People ask you all
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: the time. They will now for the rest of your life. Fortunately,
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: how scripted is it?
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: They always say, how scripted is this show? When I say,
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: I never felt scripted. There was never a line that
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: I had to give or a thing I had to say.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: I said the way And they said, then, how do
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: you always keep the people that are driving us crazy?
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: And I would say, well, because you don't always know,
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: like you see it on television, but the lead doesn't
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: see it. And if the lead doesn't see it, they're
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: not getting told like they don't you're watching it thinking
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: they have the same perspective exactly. You don't have it.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: None. We get like twenty percent of that maybe if that,
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: and then that's all obviously all revealed to us when
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: we watch it back. So that's why I said, I
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: was definitely shocked with like the Braden stuff in episode two,
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: like how vocal he was that was alarming. But yeah,
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: in the moment, it's like, no, nothing is scripted. It's
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: like what I'm feeling is what I'm feeling, and I'm
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: going based off of our interactions, our conversations alone, like
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: nothing else.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: So and I think that's important for people to know.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: And it's also really fun for viewers to note that,
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: yes you as the lead, Yes you're the twentieth Bachelorette.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: You were watching it along with everybody else, and you're
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: learning things as this Arizon Television and that's really fun. Charity,
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: we only have a few minutes here with you left.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: If you're gonna tease the rest of your season for us,
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: like if if people are listening and they are watching,
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: or maybe they haven't watched yet, Yeah, but you're going
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: to tease them and tell them this is why you
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: should watch the rest of this season. This is what
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: you're going to expect mm hm or is yours? Say
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: as much or as little as you want?
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I always say I like to like give the
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: three words that sum up my season or what we
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: could look forward to. So I think the words I've
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: been using is romance. There's about to be tons of
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: that kissing date that don't count, but there's so much
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: more room thrilling. I will say a lot of the
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: dates that I go on are exciting. I have a
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: bungee jumping date. When we start to travel a little
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: bit more, we definitely do a lot more things that
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: are super fun. And then I mean, it's chaos. What's
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: the season without it. We see some stuff kind of
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: pop off in a couple of weeks, but that's all right,
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: Charity gets down to business.
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: We like that. Though it's fun for us to watch.
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: I know it's like, you see like this sweet side
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: of me, but I have to bring out the sass.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: But yeah, no, it's it's definitely full of a lot
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: of I think twists and turns. I think people might
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: have like an idea of how this season might play out,
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: but I will say, like everybody will be thoroughly surprised.
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: They'reoughly surprised.
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: You got me hooked with that one, because I just
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: feel like it's gonna end in a happily ever after.
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: So I hope it's not a surprise in that sense.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: You still hope it's ever after?
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: Alrighty that is a good cliphanger. Girl.
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: It has been great talking to you. Hope you come
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: on again before the end of the season. It is
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: so beautiful. There's like, uh, you're undeniably likable. There's just
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: like you're so easy to watch and root for.
