- 0:23Speaker 1: you sort of guide me and help me out. You
- 0:26Speaker 1: are co hosting this episode. We're gonna talk everything Bachelor
- 0:29Speaker 1: in Paradise. We're gonna pick on Colton a little bit.
- 0:31Speaker 1: We're gonna get the true scoop on exactly what happened
- 0:34Speaker 1: in Paradise, where his head was at, where he went crazy.
- 0:37Speaker 1: We're also going to talk about the mentel All. We're
- 0:39Speaker 1: gonna flash back a little bit because I had questions.
- 0:42Speaker 1: The Colton I know and the Coulton I love and
- 0:44Speaker 1: the Coulton I hung out with was not the Colton
- 0:46Speaker 1: there was. Mente was there at mentel All, and I
- 0:50Speaker 1: want to ask why and figure out why. With that,
- 0:52Speaker 1: we're gonna have a couple of special guests. He's gonna
- 0:54Speaker 1: bring on some friends. We're gonna get the dirt, we're
- 0:56Speaker 1: gonna get the juice. But before we do that, Colton,
- 0:58Speaker 1: how you holding up? I'm good man, I'm good you okay,
- 1:02Speaker 1: before we we just got to get started. A couple
- 1:05Speaker 1: of weeks ago, we watched Men Tell All. Colton Jason
- 1:09Speaker 1: was the co host on that episode with us, and
- 1:11Speaker 1: I said, man, Colton had something he came in angry
- 1:16Speaker 1: about walk Me Through. So, because hey, this whole thing
- 1:20Speaker 1: is crazy. It brings out the wildest sides in us.
- 1:23Speaker 1: Walk Me Through mentel all. Were you angry about Paradise
- 1:27Speaker 1: at the time? Were you sensitive to the people around you?
- 1:30Speaker 1: Was there somebody that kind of like really made you
- 1:33Speaker 1: upset or was just this just the take that you
- 1:36Speaker 1: needed to have when you sat down with all these
- 1:38Speaker 1: guys to protect yourself. No. No, And just like you
- 1:40Speaker 1: said in the intro too, it's like, you know, everybody
- 1:43Speaker 1: was just like, WHOA what side of Coulton is this?
- 1:45Speaker 1: And I think for me, you know, you get to
- 1:47Speaker 1: see such a small portion of our personalities on the Bachelorette,
- 1:51Speaker 1: and that's always been somebody I am. I'm I'm not
- 1:54Speaker 1: afraid to speak my mind. I'm not afraid to stand
- 1:56Speaker 1: up for who I am. Um. And you know during
- 1:58Speaker 1: the season, I was talking about areous things going on,
- 2:01Speaker 1: whether it was my virginity, whether it was tia um,
- 2:04Speaker 1: whether it was you know, bringing her home to my family.
- 2:06Speaker 1: So nobody really got to see that edge. And that's
- 2:08Speaker 1: something I like to you know, I have an edge
- 2:10Speaker 1: to me and I stand up for myself. Well, how
- 2:13Speaker 1: does that edge usually come out? I mean, I think
- 2:16Speaker 1: you said it once during Paradise recently during you know,
- 2:20Speaker 1: your your sports career where you're a professional athlete. You know,
- 2:23Speaker 1: you kind of always had this edge, but you had
- 2:25Speaker 1: to hold in a lot of your emotion. You couldn't
- 2:27Speaker 1: see you can't let anybody see you her or upset.
- 2:31Speaker 1: Now in life, how do you typically let that edge out?
- 2:35Speaker 1: I mean just by being authentic and being genuine. I mean,
- 2:38Speaker 1: I mean the one thing that coming off with the
- 2:40Speaker 1: Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise is I'm so I'm much
- 2:43Speaker 1: more comfortable in my own skin now, and I think
- 2:46Speaker 1: where I would have, you know, sort of bit my
- 2:49Speaker 1: tongue in the past, now I'm not afraid to sort
- 2:51Speaker 1: of have loose lips and speak my mind. I mean,
- 2:53Speaker 1: if if it's something on my on my if there's
- 2:55Speaker 1: something on my mind, I'm saying it. That's you bring
- 2:57Speaker 1: up a great point there. Um, coming off the Bachelor
- 3:02Speaker 1: app and coming off Bachelor in Paradise, you're more confident
- 3:06Speaker 1: in speaking your mind. What We've talked about it many
- 3:08Speaker 1: times in the show, Ashley and I do, and we
- 3:11Speaker 1: bring it up that you know, this show is in
- 3:12Speaker 1: a sense of therapy. Uh, as the contestants kind of
- 3:15Speaker 1: mold into their own maybe true identities while on the show,
- 3:20Speaker 1: especially if they're there long enough. What do you think
- 3:21Speaker 1: it is about this show that allows the contestants to
- 3:24Speaker 1: truly be themselves. You know, for me the Bachelor, it
- 3:29Speaker 1: was so opposite of being in the athletic community. I
- 3:31Speaker 1: mean for me, uh, talking about my feelings, talking about
- 3:34Speaker 1: my emotions, letting people in, letting people see me was
- 3:38Speaker 1: so like you said, therapeutic. But it also helped me
- 3:40Speaker 1: grow as a person. And I think that was the
- 3:43Speaker 1: main thing that I took away from it is I
- 3:45Speaker 1: liked what it did to me. Um. You know, I
- 3:47Speaker 1: always hate when people say, oh, you change because you
- 3:49Speaker 1: went on a show. It's like, yeah, I changed. I
- 3:51Speaker 1: mean I'm changing for the better. I feel like we
- 3:53Speaker 1: all need change in our lives and to continue to
- 3:55Speaker 1: grow and that's what The Bachelor and The Bachelor in
- 3:57Speaker 1: Paradise provided for me. That's a great that's a great
- 4:00Speaker 1: way to say you liked what it did for you.
- 4:04Speaker 1: And so this there's this crazy thing, you know with
- 4:07Speaker 1: The Bachelor and the Bachelor, especially where it kind of
- 4:10Speaker 1: sucks you in. Right. I've talked to many contestants, and
- 4:13Speaker 1: we bring in contestants on this podcast, and people say
- 4:15Speaker 1: I've missed it, like I went back on Paradise, or
- 4:18Speaker 1: I went back on on Our Games or I did
- 4:21Speaker 1: one of these other shows because I've missed it. And
- 4:24Speaker 1: it's not missing the fame because a lot of people
- 4:26Speaker 1: don't really get fame from this show, right, I mean,
- 4:29Speaker 1: they're they're they're they're not there long enough, people don't
- 4:31Speaker 1: recognize them long enough. They have a glimpse of fame.
- 4:33Speaker 1: They maybe do a couple of interviews, but a lot
- 4:35Speaker 1: of people don't get celebrity from the show. And so
- 4:38Speaker 1: the question always then lies why do you do it?
- 4:42Speaker 1: And people tell us that they miss it, And what
- 4:45Speaker 1: you're saying is you miss you like what the show
- 4:48Speaker 1: does for you. And so in a sense, you can
- 4:50Speaker 1: see where people would miss being in those worlds. Yeah, absolutely.
- 4:54Speaker 1: I think being being in that bubble is what sort
- 4:57Speaker 1: of allows you to grow. I think we have so
- 4:59Speaker 1: many just actions and our everyday lives that you don't
- 5:02Speaker 1: have time to focus on yourself and to spend time,
- 5:05Speaker 1: you know, working on self growth. And I think when
- 5:08Speaker 1: you go into that, yes, you're working on a relationship,
- 5:10Speaker 1: but you're also working through issues that you have with
- 5:13Speaker 1: you know, internal issues and working through your own feelings,
- 5:15Speaker 1: working through, um, how you're going to deal with certain
- 5:18Speaker 1: situations as a person. Cool new cook, Oh I love cooking, dude,

- 6:46Speaker 1: Way to Cook Cool and you came on a couple
- 6:48Speaker 1: of weeks ago while we did our live episode in Tahoe.
- 6:52Speaker 1: You're a guest and we have had a huge season
- 6:56Speaker 1: on the Almost Famous podcast. I mean we have really
- 6:59Speaker 1: uh star to kind of roll into this identity of
- 7:02Speaker 1: where we bring on these contestants. We let them speak
- 7:04Speaker 1: their hearts, we get to know them a little better.
- 7:06Speaker 1: Some contestants aren't received very well. Some are once they
- 7:09Speaker 1: come on our show with you, we had a crazy
- 7:13Speaker 1: response of people going, I finally understand Colton. I finally
- 7:19Speaker 1: get Colton. And the emails came in, the tweets came in.
- 7:22Speaker 1: I could pull them up right now and read some
- 7:24Speaker 1: of them for you. Do you feel like people have
- 7:28Speaker 1: got to know you better through this process? Is there
- 7:31Speaker 1: still more to learn? I mean watching them in Paradise
- 7:33Speaker 1: right now, and obviously you are the hot storyline more
- 7:36Speaker 1: two weeks in and and it seems like every scene
- 7:39Speaker 1: is a Colton and Ta scene. Do you feel like
- 7:42Speaker 1: you're coming into your own on Paradise or or do
- 7:45Speaker 1: you feel like people are getting to know you less? No,
- 7:48Speaker 1: I definitely think, like I said, I have a lot
- 7:50Speaker 1: of layers to me. Um, there's a lot more to
- 7:53Speaker 1: me than what people saw on the Bachelorette. I think
- 7:56Speaker 1: I'm using I'm trying to use social media to sort
- 7:58Speaker 1: of show that to whether it's my twe it or
- 8:00Speaker 1: on my Instagram. Um, you know that's that's just who
- 8:03Speaker 1: I am. I'm lighthearted, I'm fun, I'm a big goofy
- 8:05Speaker 1: teddy bear if you want to call it. Um. But
- 8:08Speaker 1: everybody on the Bachelor I got to see me in
- 8:09Speaker 1: such a serious light. So now in Paradise, you know,
- 8:12Speaker 1: I am sort of letting more of my personality out
- 8:14Speaker 1: and they are showing more of that, which obviously I
- 8:17Speaker 1: like because then people have a better understanding of me.
- 8:19Speaker 1: I think after you know, talking with you and Ashley,
- 8:21Speaker 1: two people hopefully got some answers that you know they needed.
- 8:25Speaker 1: How are you feeling after all the tears last night? Yeah?
- 8:28Speaker 1: I mean even watching that back and you know there's
- 8:30Speaker 1: been too anytime watching yourself get emotional on on screen
- 8:34Speaker 1: sort of brings up those emotions again, whether you want
- 8:38Speaker 1: want to or not. Um. And you know, for for me,
- 8:41Speaker 1: I just remember being in that situation thinking like, am
- 8:44Speaker 1: I ready? You know what? You know what is going
- 8:46Speaker 1: on right now? Why why am I here? Um? And
- 8:49Speaker 1: you know the bottom line is what I told myself
- 8:51Speaker 1: when I was, you know, battling whether I needed to
- 8:53Speaker 1: go to Paradise or not, is you have to get
- 8:55Speaker 1: back on the horse. You have to put yourself out there.
- 8:57Speaker 1: I came into The Bachelor at looking for love. I'm
- 8:59Speaker 1: going to do the same when I'm going to Paradise. Yeah,
- 9:02Speaker 1: I mean this is colden. Uh. You know I know this.
- 9:04Speaker 1: You are the co host on this episode. Uh. And
- 9:07Speaker 1: we will get to you co host in the episode.
- 9:09Speaker 1: But I think the first segment here, I really want
- 9:10Speaker 1: to take some time to kind of drill in um
- 9:13Speaker 1: to who you are and where you're at right now,
- 9:14Speaker 1: because you are a big storyline on Paradise. If you
- 9:17Speaker 1: don't let me talking about a little bit um. We
- 9:20Speaker 1: you and I met up right before Paradise and you
- 9:23Speaker 1: asked me, what do you think should I go or
- 9:26Speaker 1: should I not? And my advice to you was not
- 9:27Speaker 1: to go at the time, but I you know, I
- 9:29Speaker 1: remember telling you, if you feel like it's the right
- 9:32Speaker 1: thing for you, if if you feel like it's going
- 9:34Speaker 1: to bring closure or you feel like it's gonna fix
- 9:37Speaker 1: kind of anything that's kind of left out there, um
- 9:39Speaker 1: right now unanswered, then go do it. And then then
- 9:43Speaker 1: I didn't really know what your decision was. And the
- 9:44Speaker 1: next thing I knew, I saw that you went on Paradise.
- 9:47Speaker 1: Are you happy with that? Decision. Yeah, And I think
- 9:50Speaker 1: one thing I took away from our conversation is, and
- 9:53Speaker 1: you know, you never said a definitive yes or no.
- 9:55Speaker 1: You said, hey, here's a pros, here's a cons. And
- 9:59Speaker 1: between you and I, you know there was more. You
- 10:00Speaker 1: had more cons for going on to Paradise. But the
- 10:03Speaker 1: pros that I saw lining up for Paradise was you know,
- 10:06Speaker 1: I admitted, you know, the one hurdle for Tea and
- 10:10Speaker 1: I was not enough time. We weren't in the same location.
- 10:13Speaker 1: So for me, I'm sitting here like, I'm going to
- 10:15Speaker 1: be very true and honest to how I was feeling.
- 10:17Speaker 1: You know, that was the one thing that concerned me
- 10:19Speaker 1: in a relationship. And I know if you're going to
- 10:21Speaker 1: be on the beach for a few weeks like that's
- 10:23Speaker 1: that's going to give me the opportunity to sort of
- 10:24Speaker 1: figure that out and get the answers I needed from Tia. Yeah.
- 10:28Speaker 1: So now we're watching on Paradise today and as Amy
- 10:32Speaker 1: just brought up, we've seen some emotion, we've seen some tears.
- 10:36Speaker 1: What did you think about when the guys all gained
- 10:38Speaker 1: up on you. I mean, so you come to Paradise,
- 10:40Speaker 1: you're excited to get to talk to Tia. You don't
- 10:42Speaker 1: have an definitive answer if you're ready to date her
- 10:43Speaker 1: or not. You don't know where you stand with her.
- 10:46Speaker 1: You're just trying to figure out what the next best
- 10:48Speaker 1: step is coming off of this relationship with Becca. So
- 10:51Speaker 1: you show up the paradise a little confused, you start
- 10:53Speaker 1: talking to Tia. The guys just jump jump on you.
- 10:57Speaker 1: They gang up on you. How do you feel about that?
- 11:01Speaker 1: To be honest with you, it threw me off. I
- 11:04Speaker 1: was not expecting that. I wasn't um I wasn't understanding
- 11:07Speaker 1: where they were coming from. They wanted a definitive answer
- 11:10Speaker 1: right now. Am I here for tr or not? And
- 11:13Speaker 1: it's not that simple. I mean, those same guys who
- 11:15Speaker 1: are questioning me are the same guys who went home,
- 11:18Speaker 1: you know, three four weeks in Tobecca's season, So they
- 11:21Speaker 1: didn't get to get to the level of a relationship
- 11:24Speaker 1: that I got to with Becca. So they couldn't understand
- 11:26Speaker 1: where my head was at, and they were they were
- 11:28Speaker 1: just how they're hounding me for these answers, and I
- 11:32Speaker 1: couldn't give them any answers because I really didn't know
- 11:35Speaker 1: it was weird. I thought it was so weird. Why
- 11:37Speaker 1: didn't they just worry about their own stuff? Well? Right,
- 11:40Speaker 1: and that And that's one thing I actually tweeted too.
- 11:42Speaker 1: I said, you know, I hope everybody spends as much
- 11:44Speaker 1: effort and focuses on their own relationship as everybody on
- 11:47Speaker 1: that you know, on that beach was towards Ta and
- 11:49Speaker 1: I I mean everybody had an opinion. You looked at
- 11:52Speaker 1: you know, you watched that episode. I think because just
- 11:54Speaker 1: because it was talked about so much, I think everybody
- 11:57Speaker 1: was talking about Tia Colton. Tia Colton. It's like, man,
- 12:00Speaker 1: why can't you focus on a relationship with someone else?
- 12:05Speaker 1: I mean, why are you gotta be an ours amy?
- 12:07Speaker 1: You've watched the show for years. Um, Like, like I
- 12:10Speaker 1: said last week, devoted fan, huge fan of The Bachelor. Um,
- 12:16Speaker 1: I have never remember in my days watching a contestant
- 12:20Speaker 1: be so focused on one person, especially in Paradise, as
- 12:24Speaker 1: Tia was to Colton. Have you, I mean other than
- 12:27Speaker 1: maybe my beautiful ghost Ashley Kennedie when it came to
- 12:30Speaker 1: the Yeah, but it's so prominent. I mean I actually,
- 12:33Speaker 1: like I want to say to Tia, like, oh, bless
- 12:35Speaker 1: her heart, Like it was so nuts for me if
- 12:39Speaker 1: I'm going to be honest, and I like Tia, so
- 12:41Speaker 1: this is just me watching the show. She was like
- 12:44Speaker 1: obsessed with Colton, then he's not there, then she's gonna
- 12:47Speaker 1: go out with Chris. Then she's gonna like Chris screwed Colton.
- 12:50Speaker 1: I'm this, I'm not like. She was so all over
- 12:52Speaker 1: the place, and then she was obsessed with and obsessed
- 12:54Speaker 1: with Colton, and then she's like, the poor guy just
- 12:56Speaker 1: got there. He just broke up with Becca, which she's
- 12:59Speaker 1: talking about, and then she's like, I need an answer.
- 13:01Speaker 1: I need an answer right now, right now, right now.
- 13:02Speaker 1: And it's just like oh my god, Oh my god.
- 13:04Speaker 1: And then he like says, I can't give you an answer,
- 13:06Speaker 1: and she's like I am a woman and I am
- 13:08Speaker 1: worth more and blah blah blah. And then now I'm
- 13:11Speaker 1: going back to Chris. And it was so just like, oh,
- 13:14Speaker 1: you know, but that was my first time seeing how
- 13:16Speaker 1: much she brought me up prior, because I mean obviously
- 13:18Speaker 1: I wasn't even I wasn't on the beach, so I
- 13:19Speaker 1: didn't know I was talked about that much. And that's
- 13:22Speaker 1: where I think like it probably drove the other cast nuts.
- 13:25Speaker 1: It's like, hey, we're here to focus on our relationship.
- 13:28Speaker 1: Why is everybody talking about team Colton, Like, let's get
- 13:31Speaker 1: Colton out of here. I think that's sort of where
- 13:33Speaker 1: they're coming from. It's like, hey, I'm tired of talking
- 13:35Speaker 1: about this, let's just get Colton out of here. Well,
- 13:37Speaker 1: and in real life, you would take like at least
- 13:41Speaker 1: a week to decide if you are into somebody and
- 13:44Speaker 1: if you want to be like, you know, committed to them.
- 13:47Speaker 1: This is like one day and she's like, you need
- 13:49Speaker 1: to commit to me or I am out. I deserve better.
- 13:52Speaker 1: And it was just like it wasn't even one day.
- 13:54Speaker 1: I mean, it was a few hours. It was the
- 13:57Speaker 1: craziest part is I'm watching this, uh this this week
- 14:02Speaker 1: and I'm saying, I'm looking at someone I feel like
- 14:04Speaker 1: I've written this emotional roller coaster with Colton and Tilla,
- 14:08Speaker 1: and she's still wearing the same bathing suit like it's
- 14:11Speaker 1: one day, like nobody's changed yet. And then I already
- 14:15Speaker 1: feel exhausted for him. No, And that was something that
- 14:18Speaker 1: I think, I think you guys, you guys see is
- 14:20Speaker 1: in that episode is I was taking punch after punch
- 14:23Speaker 1: after punch from all sides, and it finally just got
- 14:27Speaker 1: to me. And I don't like to ever say someone's broken,
- 14:29Speaker 1: but it just finally broke me. I mean, it just
- 14:32Speaker 1: it just got to be so much that I didn't
- 14:33Speaker 1: know how to handle the emotions that I was going through.
- 14:36Speaker 1: Because you're talking about emotions. I had every emotion going
- 14:39Speaker 1: to hunt you over a girl he's known for a
- 14:43Speaker 1: day all stuff. Literally devoted himself to tea and was like,
- 14:48Speaker 1: I will be here for you. I will never hurt you.
- 14:51Speaker 1: And it's like you met her yesterday. He's he's got
- 14:55Speaker 1: some lines on that guy. Does you know, Hey, I
- 14:57Speaker 1: never put myself above my partner. I'm listening on you
- 15:01Speaker 1: can day me any day. Hey. Uh, we got a
- 15:05Speaker 1: lot coming up, obviously, as you can tell listening so far.
- 15:08Speaker 1: We're gonna just continue to I'm gonna gang up on Cold.

- 17:50Speaker 1: I've slept on a sleep number for years and I
- 17:52Speaker 1: think it's great. Hey, um Colton, coming off of I
- 17:57Speaker 1: was laying in bed last night on my sleep Number.
- 17:59Speaker 1: I was getting a good night's rest before my early
- 18:02Speaker 1: flight today to Chicago, and I was thinking this whole
- 18:07Speaker 1: Tia in Colton situations on my mind right, I mean,
- 18:10Speaker 1: Bachelor in Paradise has literally consume my life. This seems
- 18:13Speaker 1: so intense and so aggressive right now. My question to you,
- 18:18Speaker 1: and the question that I saw on Twitter last night,
- 18:20Speaker 1: and the reason I'm asking you this, why didn't you
- 18:23Speaker 1: two just text each other? You have each other's numbers? Yeah,
- 18:28Speaker 1: I mean for me, for me, I knew that Tia
- 18:32Speaker 1: came back. Um, when Becca broke up with me, she
- 18:35Speaker 1: mentioned it and it just didn't make air. Um. I
- 18:40Speaker 1: was confused and so much confused that I felt like
- 18:42Speaker 1: I was not going to reach out to her. I
- 18:44Speaker 1: didn't I didn't owe a text to her um, and
- 18:47Speaker 1: I was gonna let her reach out to me first
- 18:49Speaker 1: if it was going to happen, and it never happened.
- 18:52Speaker 1: So there was just all this tension built up, and
- 18:54Speaker 1: obviously you're seeing that play out, But for me, it's
- 18:57Speaker 1: just like I'm just getting out of relationship, which I
- 18:59Speaker 1: just use Becca to my family. I said, I love you,
- 19:03Speaker 1: and what am I supposed to as soon as I
- 19:05Speaker 1: find out break up and shoot Tia text being like, yo,
- 19:08Speaker 1: you know w t F or what? Like how if
- 19:10Speaker 1: you then if you had to text Tia what I mean,
- 19:12Speaker 1: what would you just have said? I would have been angry? Honestly,
- 19:17Speaker 1: I think. I mean, so I'm playing this out cold,
- 19:20Speaker 1: and then you help me process do this with you.
- 19:23Speaker 1: I'm a fan of the show right now, I'm watching
- 19:25Speaker 1: this show, and I see you tell the guys last
- 19:27Speaker 1: night that you loved Rebecca, that you were in love
- 19:29Speaker 1: with Becca, that you're still hurt over Becca, and so
- 19:32Speaker 1: I'm thinking, Okay, if I really felt this way about
- 19:36Speaker 1: this woman I was dating and this other woman came
- 19:38Speaker 1: in to kind of step in between. Now Becca saying
- 19:42Speaker 1: obviously that you know it wasn't TIA's words or her
- 19:44Speaker 1: admittance to fall still being in love with you or
- 19:46Speaker 1: liking you or whatever. I just claiming it is the
- 19:49Speaker 1: end of it. But I'm coming from your perspective. You're
- 19:52Speaker 1: we can only ask you. If I'm in love with
- 19:54Speaker 1: Becca and now I'm on the beach with Tia, I
- 19:58Speaker 1: would have been angry. I think maybe I'm wrong here,
- 20:02Speaker 1: and I've admitted my reactions that things typically aren't the best.
- 20:05Speaker 1: But I think I would have been hurt by the
- 20:07Speaker 1: way that my relationship would Becca ended based on this
- 20:09Speaker 1: other person's feelings for me. Yeah. I mean, like I
- 20:14Speaker 1: said earlier on your podcast, I can't fault Tia for
- 20:17Speaker 1: saying it, because if that's how she felt, that's how
- 20:19Speaker 1: she felt. But what I was is I was confused,
- 20:22Speaker 1: and I was trying to work through my emotions, and
- 20:24Speaker 1: I didn't want to just out of emotions, shoot her
- 20:27Speaker 1: a text and not have any thought. And then in
- 20:29Speaker 1: the back of my mind, you know, if I was
- 20:31Speaker 1: considering to go to Paradise, I knew to it was
- 20:34Speaker 1: going to be there, right, um, and why not have
- 20:39Speaker 1: the first conversation me in person? And if we're being
- 20:43Speaker 1: really honest, I mean, for the for everybody else that
- 20:45Speaker 1: had to watch, you know, everything play out. That wouldn't
- 20:48Speaker 1: have been fair to the fans, is to you know,
- 20:49Speaker 1: for us to all of a sudden be on good
- 20:51Speaker 1: terms coming onto the beach. If we would have taken
- 20:53Speaker 1: care of this business off camera, I mean, do you
- 20:56Speaker 1: do you agree with that as an entertain on an
- 20:57Speaker 1: entertainment side of things for the fans, wouldn't would that
- 21:00Speaker 1: have been confusing? I mean, yeah, I don't think as
- 21:04Speaker 1: a friend I would have ever told you to go
- 21:07Speaker 1: if you had like figured it out beforehand, right where
- 21:10Speaker 1: this was like all right, step in and fill in
- 21:12Speaker 1: the gaps from here on now. So I think yes,
- 21:14Speaker 1: and in terms of life and giving it time and
- 21:17Speaker 1: and then having that between to be in Paradise to
- 21:18Speaker 1: not only figure out if you were into Tia, but
- 21:20Speaker 1: maybe somebody else or just move on and move forward publicly,
- 21:24Speaker 1: I think all that you know made sense to me.
- 21:27Speaker 1: The piece that doesn't make sense and we'll close off
- 21:29Speaker 1: your little girl sash here um and move into recapping
- 21:32Speaker 1: episode two of Bachelor in Paradise the part that doesn't
- 21:36Speaker 1: make sense to me and the way I have to
- 21:37Speaker 1: get defensive for you it's saying I don't understand, and
- 21:41Speaker 1: I know Amy feels this way with me. I don't
- 21:43Speaker 1: understand why you had to say and make a decision
- 21:47Speaker 1: so quickly. This was brand new, You just got there.
- 21:50Speaker 1: You had so much to figure out. And maybe it
- 21:52Speaker 1: was that nobody, nobody understood that you were having to
- 21:56Speaker 1: process all of your emotions, all of your feelings, all
- 21:59Speaker 1: these questions within twenty four hours. But I felt like
- 22:02Speaker 1: you were expected to show up to the beach, confess
- 22:04Speaker 1: your love for Tea or not confess your love to Tea,
- 22:06Speaker 1: and have it all figured out from the very beginning.
- 22:08Speaker 1: And I don't think that was what we learned last night,
- 22:09Speaker 1: that you're just dealing with so much heartbreak still from Becca. Yeah,
- 22:13Speaker 1: I mean I think that. I mean, obviously Beca is
- 22:17Speaker 1: showing up threw me off my you know, threw me
- 22:20Speaker 1: off anything that I wanted to talk about. But you see,
- 22:22Speaker 1: the one the one person who sort of understood where
- 22:24Speaker 1: I was coming from was Eric, right, and I actually
- 22:27Speaker 1: talked in depth of Eric, I have Paradise about you
- 22:29Speaker 1: know how he wasn't ready to go to Paradise after
- 22:32Speaker 1: his season with Rachel because he was you know, he
- 22:34Speaker 1: was just coming off of the hometown and being in love,
- 22:37Speaker 1: and he was the only one who could sort of
- 22:39Speaker 1: sympathize with me at that point of being like, man,
- 22:41Speaker 1: you guys just don't get it. The other guys that
- 22:43Speaker 1: are like, hey, make a decision. It's like you guys
- 22:45Speaker 1: don't get it because you weren't to that level in
- 22:48Speaker 1: your relationship with Becca. You were you were just that
- 22:50Speaker 1: friendship more. You know, they weren't there yet, and so
- 22:54Speaker 1: they they are asking me a question that's not fair
- 22:57Speaker 1: to ask me, or they're asking for me to do
- 22:59Speaker 1: something thing that's definitely not fair for me to do.
- 23:03Speaker 1: I'm with you, man, I take your time. Paradise is
- 23:06Speaker 1: Paradise is a place of exploration, and you were going
- 23:09Speaker 1: to explore what could have been uh somebody else that
- 23:12Speaker 1: went to Paradise. First off, Colton, thanks for answering those questions.
- 23:15Speaker 1: I know that's not fun. I know you're gonna have
- 23:16Speaker 1: to answer them a thousand times and and respond to
- 23:19Speaker 1: him a thousand times. But I hope that just getting
- 23:22Speaker 1: you uh the platform to speak on it openly and
- 23:24Speaker 1: honestly allows all of our listeners to get to know
- 23:26Speaker 1: you a little better. It allows me to get to
- 23:28Speaker 1: know you a little bit better. So thanks for doing that.
- 23:30Speaker 1: But now let's transition to you being the co host
- 23:32Speaker 1: of the almost famous podcast. We are going to bring on, uh,
- 23:35Speaker 1: somebody that came to Paradise looking for love, hoping for love,
- 23:40Speaker 1: got a little upset with Colton at times, um, and
- 23:43Speaker 1: we're gonna talk to him about it. We have Nick
- 23:46Speaker 1: from Bachelor in Paradise and also Becca's season of the Bachelorette.
- 23:52Speaker 1: Right now, Nikki out there, Yes, I am How you
- 23:56Speaker 1: doing today? Nick? What's up? Man? How are you doing well?
- 24:01Speaker 1: Doing well? Nick? Where are you at right now? I
- 24:05Speaker 1: am at work. He's a lawyer. Nick's a lawyer, which
- 24:09Speaker 1: I found slightly shocking. Why do you find it shocking, Amy,
- 24:13Speaker 1: because he was a little bit of shirt off Nick
- 24:16Speaker 1: last night. Yeah, but he's like, he's like the ripped lawyer.
- 24:19Speaker 1: But see, Hey, everybody has layers, so you can't portray
- 24:22Speaker 1: Nick as just a lawyer. He's got layers just like
- 24:24Speaker 1: I do on the bat. Hey, I'm keeping it fair
- 24:27Speaker 1: with you. Nick. You know, everybody has different sides of
- 24:29Speaker 1: their personality. You only get to see a small portion
- 24:31Speaker 1: of us on screen. That's correct, That's that's more correct,
- 24:36Speaker 1: We're gonna jump in right here. What in the world, like,
- 24:39Speaker 1: why were you going to Bachelor in Paradise? So we
- 24:41Speaker 1: just talked to Colton a little bit. He explained why
- 24:43Speaker 1: he was going to Paradise where he saw the pros
- 24:46Speaker 1: being for him? What were the pros for you? Um?
- 24:49Speaker 1: I think uh, I think for me, Um, it was
- 24:52Speaker 1: it was just more of a natural environment. Um. For
- 24:55Speaker 1: me Bachelor Bachelorette, I really really enjoyed my time on it, um.
- 24:59Speaker 1: But you know, it was it was more of a
- 25:02Speaker 1: formal setting. UM. And I didn't think, um I was
- 25:07Speaker 1: able to show like, you know, who I was. Um,
- 25:11Speaker 1: I didn't. You know, it was it was difficult for
- 25:13Speaker 1: me to really like open up because it was more
- 25:15Speaker 1: formal setting. UM. And for me, I watched a few
- 25:19Speaker 1: a few episodes of Bachelor Paradise and it kind of
- 25:22Speaker 1: seems more like more of my speed for for for dating. UM.
- 25:28Speaker 1: So yeah, it just seemed more casual, more relaxed, more
- 25:32Speaker 1: fun um. Whereas Bachelor it was fun, but it was
- 25:37Speaker 1: it was nerve wracking, you know. Um, it's one one
- 25:40Speaker 1: woman and twenty eight guys or whatever. Um, where this
- 25:44Speaker 1: is a good mix and and a more casual environment.
- 25:47Speaker 1: I mean I I could speak to that, toun Nick,
- 25:49Speaker 1: because I went through the season with you. I definitely agree.
- 25:51Speaker 1: I think the environment in Paradise fits Nikki Slicks more
- 25:54Speaker 1: than the Bachelorette suit and tie does. I mean that?
- 25:58Speaker 1: So that was Nick's Nick's nickname, Nikki Slicks, because he
- 26:01Speaker 1: was just you could tell Nick and you know this too.
- 26:04Speaker 1: On the season there was times where you know, you
- 26:06Speaker 1: were just uncomfortable with you know, the setting, And I think, yeah,
- 26:09Speaker 1: you're right, Paradise was more Nikki Slicks thing. We didn't
- 26:12Speaker 1: really get to know you with Becca. We got to
- 26:14Speaker 1: know you a little bit more this week. But what
- 26:16Speaker 1: went wrong with Chelsea? That seemed a little I think
- 26:22Speaker 1: I think that there's I think this. You know, Chelsea
- 26:26Speaker 1: and I spoke a lot during Paradise. We had a
- 26:29Speaker 1: lot of conversation. Um, I think that that particular night, Um,
- 26:36Speaker 1: I know for a fact she wasn't feeling well. Um,
- 26:39Speaker 1: I think she had to get an ivy or something
- 26:41Speaker 1: as well and threw up that night. Um. But yeah,
- 26:44Speaker 1: I mean for me, there was a lot of conversation
- 26:50Speaker 1: that Chelsea and I had and you know, we really
- 26:53Speaker 1: did have a have a good connection. Um, But in
- 26:56Speaker 1: terms of what went wrong, UM, don't know if I
- 27:00Speaker 1: can really speak to that. So I think that you know, Chelsea,
- 27:03Speaker 1: Chelsea and I are we we're good friends. So uh yeah,
- 27:10Speaker 1: I mean so whatever they put in Chelsea's I V
- 27:12Speaker 1: led to her decision, then huh must have did she
- 27:16Speaker 1: give her rose to? I can't remember, Um, David, the chicken.
- 27:23Speaker 1: We're gonna talk to the chicken later. You know, we're
- 27:25Speaker 1: gonna talk to chicken. But hey, Nick, on a scale
- 27:28Speaker 1: of one to ten, um, how was how do you
- 27:32Speaker 1: feel like your your game was during Bachelor in Paradise? Um?
- 27:39Speaker 1: I thought I thought that the game that was showed
- 27:45Speaker 1: was was poor. Um, but I think that overall, Um,
- 27:52Speaker 1: you know, I was, I was, I was myself and
- 27:55Speaker 1: uh you know, for me, it was fun. Um. And
- 27:59Speaker 1: I think I think I get I think I think
- 28:02Speaker 1: it was more about showing who you are rather than
- 28:05Speaker 1: rather than some type of game, or or rather showing
- 28:08Speaker 1: something something else. Um. But you know, am I am?
- 28:12Speaker 1: I disappointed? Of course, no one wants no one wants
- 28:15Speaker 1: to go home. But uh, but you know, it was
- 28:19Speaker 1: a great experience and and um, I met phenomenal, phenomenal
- 28:24Speaker 1: people that otherwise wouldn't have met and some some phenomenal
- 28:29Speaker 1: lifelong friends. So I was hoping You're gonna come on
- 28:32Speaker 1: this podcast and just be angry, like I met the
- 28:34Speaker 1: worst type of people. Colton, You're a terrible person. You
- 28:38Speaker 1: would have thought that after last night's episode, right, you
- 28:40Speaker 1: would have thought I was, I was the worst of
- 28:41Speaker 1: the way that the way that Nikki had to sit
- 28:43Speaker 1: down and go after me. Yeah, why what in the world? Yeah,
- 28:48Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, Like I think watching it
- 28:51Speaker 1: back and watching our season back, nick you you could
- 28:54Speaker 1: obviously see like the different levels, and I think that
- 28:57Speaker 1: that would have changed the dialogue of that conversation had
- 28:59Speaker 1: you on the depth. That's great and and you know,
- 29:04Speaker 1: to clear the air on that I was. I was
- 29:07Speaker 1: personally getting a side of I got one side of
- 29:09Speaker 1: the story, and I had not seen the rest of
- 29:13Speaker 1: Bachelor at prior to filming. Um. But as I said,
- 29:18Speaker 1: you know, you know, I have all the love and
- 29:20Speaker 1: respect for Colton Um as much as all all the
- 29:24Speaker 1: other guys. But for me, my my whole thing was Okay.
- 29:30Speaker 1: You know, Colton had known Pia for six seven months
- 29:35Speaker 1: at this point, Like, let's either like give her a
- 29:38Speaker 1: fair shot, like I just I and you know what
- 29:40Speaker 1: I had, No I had I seen all of the
- 29:43Speaker 1: Bachelor Atte prior, definitely would have changed my opinions. Um
- 29:49Speaker 1: but I was just hearing. You know, what I heard
- 29:52Speaker 1: was what I heard, and I just wanted, I want.
- 29:55Speaker 1: I expected Bachelor in Paradise to be a clean sleep
- 29:58Speaker 1: like everyone goes in there, every one, you know, Paradise.
- 30:01Speaker 1: Maybe there's no such thing as a clean slate in Paradise. Hey,
- 30:04Speaker 1: well you know I'm new to this whole thing. Um,
- 30:07Speaker 1: as you can see, I didn't. I didn't make it
- 30:10Speaker 1: very far on Bachelorette, but um no, you know, for me,
- 30:13Speaker 1: it was just like my my perception of it at
- 30:17Speaker 1: that time filming Paradise was okay, you know you've known
- 30:20Speaker 1: to the six seven months, like, of which three of
- 30:24Speaker 1: those months were spent with Becca. Okay, Yeah, But the
- 30:28Speaker 1: whole point is is like, you know, are you gonna
- 30:31Speaker 1: give it a shot or you're not going to give
- 30:33Speaker 1: it a shot, Like let's break this off for like,
- 30:35Speaker 1: look because it because you have to understand like I
- 30:38Speaker 1: was looking at it as like she I didn't even know,
- 30:41Speaker 1: Like I looked at it like she was hummed up
- 30:44Speaker 1: on you and that there was something super serious that
- 30:47Speaker 1: happened before and and blah blah blah. So so when
- 30:51Speaker 1: you come in, I'm just like, all right, like he's
- 30:54Speaker 1: they're going to give it a shot. Oh Nope, not
- 30:56Speaker 1: gonna give it a shot. All right, Well then I
- 30:58Speaker 1: guess like let's then break it off and allow you know,
- 31:02Speaker 1: peace to get his shot. And and that was my
- 31:05Speaker 1: whole take on it. But besides that, I mean to
- 31:07Speaker 1: be honest with you, like that's like, that's it, like
- 31:11Speaker 1: you know what, it had nothing to do with like
- 31:13Speaker 1: you or your character anything or anyone else's character. Is
- 31:16Speaker 1: just like like, let's make this like let's try and
- 31:19Speaker 1: make this like a like a fair shot for everyone
- 31:22Speaker 1: whatever that made it. The thing here, Nick that you're
- 31:25Speaker 1: bringing up that I think makes sense, uh from a
- 31:28Speaker 1: viewer's perspective, is it does feel like watching the show,
- 31:33Speaker 1: there's a sense of there's more to this Tia Colton
- 31:35Speaker 1: story than what we're understanding, right, Like it just felt
- 31:39Speaker 1: like there had been this dramatic thing that have happened
- 31:42Speaker 1: that connected you to and that you know, there was
- 31:45Speaker 1: so many and answered questions and what Colton saying, is
- 31:47Speaker 1: there really wasn't you guys hung out for a weekend.
- 31:50Speaker 1: It wasn't that serious. You decided to go on the show.
- 31:53Speaker 1: You met Becca, you fell in love with Becca. Tia
- 31:55Speaker 1: comes back into the picture. Now you don't know if
- 31:57Speaker 1: you want to pursue it or not. Nick, You're watching
- 31:59Speaker 1: all of this from the beach going there's got to
- 32:02Speaker 1: be more here, Like this feels like a love story
- 32:04Speaker 1: that has like been dramatically broken up, and really it wasn't.
- 32:09Speaker 1: And so now watching it back the picture makes more sense.
- 32:13Speaker 1: That's right. I don't disagree with that. I don't disagree
- 32:16Speaker 1: with that whatsoever. And as I've told you know, as
- 32:20Speaker 1: I think the reason that I wasn't shown much on
- 32:23Speaker 1: Bachelor that was because I I didn't get into drama,
- 32:27Speaker 1: and I typically don't get into drama. And I even
- 32:30Speaker 1: even think the conversation with with with Colton, Uh, I
- 32:34Speaker 1: don't really have much to set because again like I'm
- 32:38Speaker 1: I'm focused on my thing. I had no interest in
- 32:41Speaker 1: too you. I was simply all I was simply doing
- 32:44Speaker 1: was trying to be like, all right, you know has
- 32:47Speaker 1: feelings for whatever, you know, like your Nikki slick. You
- 32:53Speaker 1: you focus on Nikki slick and Nicki Slick alone and
- 32:55Speaker 1: the rest of the people can date who they want
- 32:57Speaker 1: to date. And why do you guys call that guy
- 32:58Speaker 1: the Goose? That's that's not my my nickname for him,
- 33:03Speaker 1: that's just what everyone calls him because I think it's
- 33:05Speaker 1: because he had a bad haircut and he has like
- 33:07Speaker 1: little baby hairs, so they called him goose. I think
- 33:11Speaker 1: I think so nobody ever knew. I just knew he
- 33:14Speaker 1: was so human by goose for the whole season. There's
- 33:17Speaker 1: nothing less attractive for a nickname. And he refers to
- 33:20Speaker 1: himself as Goose. But nick, but NICKI, you're part of
- 33:25Speaker 1: Goose gang? Can we talk? Can we talk about you're
- 33:27Speaker 1: part of the Goose Gang? To be honest with you,
- 33:30Speaker 1: I didn't know that I was ever part of the
- 33:32Speaker 1: gang until last night. But apparently apparently so apparently I
- 33:37Speaker 1: got initiated while I was sleeping or something. But that's fun. Yeah, Hey,
- 33:41Speaker 1: Nicki Slick, We appreciate you, thanks for coming on the podcast,
- 33:44Speaker 1: Thanks for answering those questions. Best of luck with everything
- 33:48Speaker 1: now post Bachelor in Paradise and post Bachelor will possibly
- 33:53Speaker 1: see you again and if not, um Man, enjoy this
- 33:56Speaker 1: wild ride. Hey, thank you guys so much for having me.
- 33:59Speaker 1: Really have a great day, Nick, go kick some mass
- 34:02Speaker 1: in the courtroom. I can't believe that guy's a lawyer. Hey.
- 34:07Speaker 1: So during during the season, we actually had mock trials
- 34:09Speaker 1: and I got to see him like go to work.
- 34:11Speaker 1: It was really cool. He and the things you do
- 34:15Speaker 1: when you get bored. Um. All right. Episode two of
- 34:19Speaker 1: Bachelor in Paradise aired this week. It's juicy, it's hot,
- 34:22Speaker 1: it's full of a lot of Colton Antia. But we've
- 34:24Speaker 1: talked Colton a tilla um to length already in this podcast.
- 34:27Speaker 1: We still might bring it up. I mean, why not.
- 34:29Speaker 1: We've got Colden here. But before we do that, we've
- 34:32Speaker 1: got to talk about Anales and Jordan's one of the
- 34:35Speaker 1: most surprising relationships on the beach. Coolt and you had
- 34:38Speaker 1: a front row seat at this Did you see it
- 34:40Speaker 1: come in? Does it make sense? Um? What's this all about? Yeah?
- 34:45Speaker 1: You know, I didn't know much about Analyze other than
- 34:50Speaker 1: I remember watching our season and knowing that she had
- 34:52Speaker 1: like a lot of fears and she had she she
- 34:55Speaker 1: led with her emotions, which makes sense. Um. And then
- 34:58Speaker 1: obviously the one thing I do know about Jordan's was,
- 35:01Speaker 1: you know, he's Jordan's uh so for me, and let
- 35:05Speaker 1: me just clear this up with with Jordan two is like,
- 35:07Speaker 1: I'm okay with Jordan as long as I'm not dating
- 35:09Speaker 1: the same girl. So I had no interest in antealize.
- 35:11Speaker 1: So I was actually pro Jordan and Annelie on the beach.
- 35:16Speaker 1: I mean, why not Jordan's come off the show. I mean,
- 35:20Speaker 1: so far, Bachelor in Paradise has been a redemption story
- 35:24Speaker 1: for him of sorts, right, I mean, we've watched him.
- 35:26Speaker 1: We we He's still Jordan. He still makes the weird comments,
- 35:29Speaker 1: He's still a character. Um, but we start to see
- 35:33Speaker 1: more and more of him in Paris, and we also
- 35:35Speaker 1: I mean I honestly watched this week's episode and saw
- 35:38Speaker 1: Jordan's sitting there with Annelie's and what I thought in
- 35:41Speaker 1: my head was, I'm seeing this guy actually be a
- 35:44Speaker 1: real person for the first first time. Yes, ever, like
- 35:47Speaker 1: he's he still had his like moments where like stop
- 35:50Speaker 1: being such just weirdoh, but but he was actually a
- 35:55Speaker 1: real person that that I liked, that I enjoyed watching.
- 35:58Speaker 1: And that's something that you know so prized me too,
- 36:01Speaker 1: is you know, he Jordan's slowly slowly started growing on me. Um,
- 36:05Speaker 1: just because I got to see, like I said, everybody
- 36:08Speaker 1: has layers. I got to see another layer, another side
- 36:10Speaker 1: of Jordan's, and it was one that I actually liked
- 36:14Speaker 1: because it was real, it was genuine, it was authentic,
- 36:16Speaker 1: it was it was what, you know, what I was
- 36:18Speaker 1: expecting him to bring to Bachelorette that he didn't. The
- 36:22Speaker 1: only thing I've known in Jordan's so far to this
- 36:24Speaker 1: point is that he is a model and he loves fashion.
- 36:27Speaker 1: And for anybody out there listening, if you love fashion
- 36:30Speaker 1: as well, maybe you aren't as obsessed with it as
- 36:33Speaker 1: Jordan's is. And right now, Colton's wearing a purple jacket,
- 36:36Speaker 1: and and like I said, you come off the show
- 36:37Speaker 1: and you just have a level of confidence that's on
- 36:39Speaker 1: that's never been seen. You can wear a purple jacket
- 36:42Speaker 1: and actually good doing it. But anyways, that's beside the point. Um,
- 36:45Speaker 1: if you love fashion, if you love looking good, if
- 36:47Speaker 1: you want to look good any time for uh I
- 36:50Speaker 1: mean really for an affordable cost. I have to tell
- 36:53Speaker 1: you about threat up. You have probably heard me talk

- 39:14Speaker 1: Analys and Jordan relationship. We also see something Belasa mean
- 39:20Speaker 1: between Kevin and Asterrid. This one looks like it's gonna work.
- 39:25Speaker 1: It's quiet, Astrid's beautiful. I know Kevin from Winter Games. Colton,
- 39:31Speaker 1: what's your take? Yeah, I mean I think you know
- 39:34Speaker 1: Kevin better than I do at this point. Um, And
- 39:38Speaker 1: I really had no clue who Astrid was, but you're right,
- 39:42Speaker 1: they're quiet. She's a good looking woman. Yeah. Um And
- 39:46Speaker 1: I mean, obviously I saw last night Astrid and her
- 39:49Speaker 1: interviews at least, you know, had a lot to say,
- 39:51Speaker 1: but you know, being on the beach and being there,
- 39:53Speaker 1: she didn't really get into much drama. So they kept
- 39:55Speaker 1: to themselves. And I think that's that's a key in Paradise,
- 39:58Speaker 1: keeping to yourself and working on your relationship. That's the
- 40:02Speaker 1: way that it's gonna work. And this whole relationship blossoms
- 40:06Speaker 1: from what what we saw last night was Crystal and
- 40:09Speaker 1: Kevin kind of had this thing. Kevin was a hot commodity,
- 40:12Speaker 1: Crystals a hot commodity. Kenny comes in, steals Crystal off
- 40:16Speaker 1: her feet. They go on this wrestling date that was
- 40:20Speaker 1: so weird. I mean, Kenny being a wrestler is great.
- 40:23Speaker 1: But like, I mean, it's not the most romantic setting.
- 40:27Speaker 1: So he gets he gets in the ring and starts
- 40:29Speaker 1: tossing chairs over somebody. It was absolutely ridiculous, but I
- 40:33Speaker 1: mean it worked right. You saw these relationships up close
- 40:36Speaker 1: and personal, and I think for me, this is the
- 40:38Speaker 1: one that's like, Okay, it makes sense. We didn't get
- 40:41Speaker 1: to see a lot of depth because of the like
- 40:43Speaker 1: the wrestling date this Crystal and Kenny, Like, is there
- 40:47Speaker 1: a connection there that you were seeing on the beach? Um,
- 40:50Speaker 1: I mean for me, you're right though, then with the
- 40:53Speaker 1: with the wrestling, like, I don't I don't know if
- 40:55Speaker 1: seeing somebody tossed chairs and other people over their shoulders
- 40:58Speaker 1: the most romantic thing and like being like oh yeah,
- 41:00Speaker 1: that did it for me. Um. But also, Crystal, isn't
- 41:03Speaker 1: your your typical you know women that you go after.
- 41:07Speaker 1: She's got you know, she's got her edge to her
- 41:09Speaker 1: and she's a little she's a little out there, and
- 41:11Speaker 1: we's got her layers. She's a little Crystal's got a
- 41:16Speaker 1: lot of layers in which I'm still trying to figure out.
- 41:19Speaker 1: But you know, exchangely enough, the weirdest things can work
- 41:22Speaker 1: out in paradise. I think that's what makes Paradise awesome.
- 41:26Speaker 1: And we've seen it right and and this is what
- 41:28Speaker 1: the show really celebrates, the Carlen and Evans of Bachelor Nation,
- 41:32Speaker 1: where it's so like the people coming into this show,
- 41:37Speaker 1: we don't really know them because they're probably either gone
- 41:40Speaker 1: early on in the Bachelor Bachelor at seasons, or they're
- 41:43Speaker 1: quieter or whatever, and they fall in love in Paradise
- 41:46Speaker 1: and these real relationships blossom. So people go onto these
- 41:49Speaker 1: you know, kind of you know, spinoff shows thinking it's
- 41:53Speaker 1: gonna be fun. Like Nick said, it's going to be different.
- 41:56Speaker 1: It's going to be a new environment. And I think
- 41:59Speaker 1: before people know it and I've never been there, so cool,
- 42:01Speaker 1: and I'm kind of asking you to fill the gaps here,
- 42:03Speaker 1: they find themselves like falling harder and quicker than they
- 42:06Speaker 1: could have ever imagined. Yeah, And I think one thing
- 42:09Speaker 1: that you guys have to realize in Paradise is, you know,
- 42:12Speaker 1: sort of what Nick was bringing up, it's like, well,
- 42:13Speaker 1: you need to make a decision, and everybody's like, you
- 42:15Speaker 1: need to figure out what you're doing. I understand it's
- 42:18Speaker 1: an accelerated process, but what you realize when you're there
- 42:20Speaker 1: is there's other couples forming, and there's other relationships developing
- 42:24Speaker 1: right in your eyes. So naturally, as a human you're
- 42:27Speaker 1: benchmarking yourself and your relationship with another person against them,
- 42:31Speaker 1: and it creates this sort of competitive environment to really,
- 42:35Speaker 1: you know, like dig deep. It really it really motivates
- 42:38Speaker 1: you to like, Hey, I'm gonna give this relationship my
- 42:40Speaker 1: all because I want to, you know, I want to
- 42:42Speaker 1: be the best, strongest couple here. Do you think digging
- 42:44Speaker 1: deep and giving your aw is why Chris was so
- 42:47Speaker 1: mean to you during these interviews that we watched last night.
- 42:49Speaker 1: I mean, we've talked about you and TiO. You know,
- 42:52Speaker 1: we we saw Tia give this emotional speech at the
- 42:55Speaker 1: Rose ceremony where she's saying that she wants somebody to
- 42:57Speaker 1: put her first and that she's not going to be
- 42:59Speaker 1: set get and she goes right to Chris and all
- 43:02Speaker 1: this stuff happens that just kind of makes me feel awkward.
- 43:05Speaker 1: And at the same time, sorrybody, I love watching it
- 43:07Speaker 1: because it's just great TV. Um, but Chris is being
- 43:11Speaker 1: so mean to you in these interviews. Why is it? Yeah?
- 43:15Speaker 1: And you like him? Are you guys friends? Like what's
- 43:17Speaker 1: going on? You know? And that's this is the first
- 43:20Speaker 1: time that I'm seeing this. I mean, the thing about
- 43:23Speaker 1: Chris is he never said this to my face other
- 43:25Speaker 1: than the one time they confronted me. So for me
- 43:29Speaker 1: watching this back, it's like, Wow, you had a lot
- 43:31Speaker 1: of strong opinions and said some things that honestly, we're
- 43:34Speaker 1: a little uncalled for um for what I mean, I'm
- 43:39Speaker 1: trying to figure it out too. It's like you're saying
- 43:42Speaker 1: you're falling in love with Tia already after one date.
- 43:44Speaker 1: I mean, I guess, I guess Tia did that with me.
- 43:49Speaker 1: I don't. I'm just trying to grasp it, like that's
- 43:51Speaker 1: just not where my mindsets hat. So I can't even
- 43:53Speaker 1: relate to what Chris getting the girls. So it's like
- 43:56Speaker 1: take the high road, bro chill right, I mean, yeah,
- 44:00Speaker 1: I don't. I don't get it. I honestly, I can't
- 44:03Speaker 1: relate to what Chris is saying. I can't understand where
- 44:05Speaker 1: he's coming from. And like I said, I mean during
- 44:08Speaker 1: the mental all two. It's one thing if you say
- 44:11Speaker 1: to my face because I could be there to defend it,
- 44:12Speaker 1: But if you say an interview and I don't get
- 44:13Speaker 1: to see it till it's on TV, it's like when
- 44:15Speaker 1: we know he gets in his head and as hard
- 44:17Speaker 1: as he works to not be in his head. Oh,
- 44:19Speaker 1: Chris is in his head whether he wants to. Hey,
- 44:22Speaker 1: he's not. I think, especially in Paradise, a lot of
- 44:24Speaker 1: people are in their head. Yeah, well we could see
- 44:27Speaker 1: it all right. To close out this episode, it was
- 44:29Speaker 1: a good one, the kind of I feel like a
- 44:30Speaker 1: filler episode. This connect the dots um to some of
- 44:34Speaker 1: the relationships. I'm excited for the rest of the episodes
- 44:36Speaker 1: coming up, especially this week. But to close out this episode,
- 44:39Speaker 1: Angelie gave her rose to John. Then out of nowhere, Babiana,
- 44:43Speaker 1: let's Colton around for another week. Colton, Congratulations, she gives
- 44:46Speaker 1: Colton her rose. Tia is so mad. Oh this is
- 44:50Speaker 1: her beach, this is her island, and col and you
- 44:52Speaker 1: are not invited into it. Bye bye, Nick and Wills.
- 44:56Speaker 1: And let's move on to the next episode of Bachelor
- 44:59Speaker 1: and Paradise. Hey, we have special guests. We're gonna pull
- 45:02Speaker 1: back like we do every year during Bachelor in Paradise,
- 45:05Speaker 1: the who the heck are you segment? Before we do that,
- 45:08Speaker 1: I want to tell everybody out there about third love.
- 45:10Speaker 1: All right, everybody's talking about it. Everybody loves it. Ashley
- 45:14Speaker 1: loves it. She talks about it. Amy's talking about all
- 45:16Speaker 1: the time. I don't understand it. Colton, you don't understand
- 45:19Speaker 1: it either. I mean, Amy, help us out. What's your
- 45:22Speaker 1: shoe size? I mean my shoe size, the twelve and
- 45:25Speaker 1: a half. Okay, that seems like a lie, but pretend
- 45:28Speaker 1: you always just had to wear a third team because
- 45:30Speaker 1: there was no half. It wouldn't fit you right. Your
- 45:33Speaker 1: sho wouldn't fit right. And that's what they can't find half.
- 45:35Speaker 1: But it's my shoe size is a perfect twelve and
- 45:38Speaker 1: a half. But I can't find half sizes well, similar
- 45:40Speaker 1: to most people shopping for bras. So that's the same situation.
- 45:44Speaker 1: So Third Love. They just added twenty four new sizes,
- 45:47Speaker 1: making them the industry leader with seventy bra sizes. It
- 45:51Speaker 1: is a quality bra. It is super convenient. You don't
- 45:54Speaker 1: have to go bra shopping at a store. You get
- 45:57Speaker 1: to shop online, get it sent to your own home
- 45:59Speaker 1: where you can make sure it fits perfectly. They have
- 46:02Speaker 1: cup sizes from A through h Yeah, guys, cup sizes.
- 46:06Speaker 1: I know you want to I know you want to know,
- 46:09Speaker 1: and each size design cup size Honestly I have no
- 46:12Speaker 1: clue what cup sizes, like the size of the boob,
- 46:15Speaker 1: Like I'm like a see but half of women fall
- 46:19Speaker 1: between cup sizes. So that's why third level is amazing.
- 46:23Speaker 1: And you get the perfect fit, comfortable, great quality, no
- 46:28Speaker 1: itching because there's no tags, so sometimes like the label
- 46:31Speaker 1: can cause the kind of itch. The straps won't flip,
- 46:36Speaker 1: ultrasmooth fabrics, lightweight, They're awesome. Okay, here's my question. There's
- 46:41Speaker 1: gonna be a lot um amy for you. But I
- 46:44Speaker 1: like to take this podcast sometimes and ask super weird
- 46:47Speaker 1: questions because I just I need to educate myself. And
- 46:49Speaker 1: just from the show and what Colton's admitted, I think
- 46:52Speaker 1: he needs to educate himself a little bit too. Um Our, braws, breathable.
- 46:56Speaker 1: I just have a feeling. M yeah, but they seems
- 47:00Speaker 1: so thick and so like I feel like after a
- 47:02Speaker 1: big day outside mine or not. No, not necessarily, it
- 47:06Speaker 1: just depends. I mean. Also, if you're working out, you
- 47:08Speaker 1: maybe would wear a separate brad then you would if
- 47:10Speaker 1: you're going out. Like also, what's kind of cool now
- 47:14Speaker 1: is I think in the olden times the bra needed
- 47:18Speaker 1: to be hidden, but like I show mine every day
- 47:20Speaker 1: it's like it really cute stylish bras from Third Love
- 47:23Speaker 1: and I'm trying to figure out. Then then educate me.

- 49:09Speaker 1: Holden really has no clue who you are. We're we're friends.
- 49:11Speaker 1: We've done a couple of things together here recently that
- 49:14Speaker 1: we'll talk about. But to fill our listeners in, how
- 49:18Speaker 1: would our listeners know you? Where are you from? Have
- 49:21Speaker 1: you been on this franchise before for how many days?
- 49:24Speaker 1: And what did it end up doing for you? Yeah,
- 49:27Speaker 1: my story is a little bit different. Obviously, I was
- 49:29Speaker 1: on the season with you and then Caitlyn and Britt
- 49:32Speaker 1: with a two bat surette. I live in Nashville, That's
- 49:36Speaker 1: where I'm front frum, So I flew out there and
- 49:38Speaker 1: we kind of were part of that crazy season where
- 49:41Speaker 1: on the first night we all voted on Sue to keep,
- 49:43Speaker 1: and I remember I was lobbying for Britt the whole night,
- 49:46Speaker 1: and then at the end of the night, Britt got
- 49:48Speaker 1: voted off. And so I decided in the middle of
- 49:50Speaker 1: first night Throws ceremony to piece out and see what
- 49:53Speaker 1: Britt was up to and see, uh should be opened
- 49:57Speaker 1: to the ice cream? And uh, yeah, that's sort of
- 50:00Speaker 1: my uh three seconds the same wha you can't end
- 50:04Speaker 1: it there? Did you get ice cream? We did get
- 50:08Speaker 1: ice cream. Actually, we did it for a few months
- 50:10Speaker 1: and it was really exciting. The The Bacherette franchise followed
- 50:15Speaker 1: our stories throughout the season. We were sort of the
- 50:17Speaker 1: last few minutes clip update and probably one of the craziest,
- 50:23Speaker 1: most transformative experiences of my whole life, you know, That's
- 50:27Speaker 1: what I actually was just talking to them about two.
- 50:29Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like you go in there, you
- 50:30Speaker 1: go in there expecting to, you know, only dive deep
- 50:33Speaker 1: into a relationship. But it's so self discovering too, it is.
- 50:37Speaker 1: And I talked to him, they said, well, how was
- 50:38Speaker 1: it you? And I say, you know, it was probably
- 50:40Speaker 1: the most exciting and the most painful, and both of
- 50:43Speaker 1: it led to me, led me to understand, you know,
- 50:46Speaker 1: I don't know myself hardly at all. And when you
- 50:49Speaker 1: watch yourself on national television and the way you talk
- 50:54Speaker 1: and the way you interact with people, and then have
- 50:57Speaker 1: to deal with sort of the pushback of either being
- 50:59Speaker 1: loved if they're hated her a little bit of both.
- 51:02Speaker 1: I think it forceds somebody to find a bit deeper
- 51:05Speaker 1: of a center at least to know why they do,
- 51:08Speaker 1: why they what they do, and then hopefully and that
- 51:11Speaker 1: in that process to grow and evolved and and uh,
- 51:15Speaker 1: you know, become a better person, better human. Brady, Just
- 51:20Speaker 1: to be clear, you made you were one of the
- 51:23Speaker 1: most I guess well known characters from Caitlin's season of
- 51:27Speaker 1: The Bachelor atte because of your pursuit of brit You
- 51:32Speaker 1: left that room. You knew it was her, the one
- 51:34Speaker 1: that you want to pursue. You left the room. I
- 51:37Speaker 1: still remember that rose ceremony where you just walked out
- 51:39Speaker 1: chased after her. You guys dated for a little bit
- 51:43Speaker 1: um and like you said, they would show highlights back
- 51:45Speaker 1: and forth. But yeah, even though you're only there, I
- 51:49Speaker 1: mean literally six hours, this show still transformed your life
- 51:53Speaker 1: in a lot of ways, it really did, you know,
- 51:57Speaker 1: even though it's after six hours on too nights a row,
- 52:00Speaker 1: because the thing that date and show was that it
- 52:02Speaker 1: took two nights of filming for the one night of edited.
- 52:05Speaker 1: Uh first you know, first night. But yeah, I think
- 52:08Speaker 1: I was fortunate in the sense that I didn't have
- 52:11Speaker 1: to experience all the craziness that you guys did in
- 52:13Speaker 1: the house and the staying up late in the getting
- 52:16Speaker 1: up early and having to do really uncomfortable croup dates
- 52:20Speaker 1: and lots of interviews. I feel like I got to
- 52:24Speaker 1: do the show and got the best parts of the
- 52:27Speaker 1: show and the date one on one with some person,
- 52:31Speaker 1: while while also not having to experience all the craziness.
- 52:35Speaker 1: So I know, I feel like I feel like I
- 52:37Speaker 1: was a lucky one in the midst of the whole process. Yeah,
- 52:43Speaker 1: so we dated for I think about two months. I
- 52:46Speaker 1: don't remember the exact time, but I do remember when
- 52:49Speaker 1: we started dating, it was like we would hang out
- 52:51Speaker 1: sixteen hours a day. I was in l A. You know,
- 52:53Speaker 1: you have to clear out your schedule for a couple
- 52:55Speaker 1: of months, so I had cleared it out. I'm a musician.
- 52:58Speaker 1: That's what I've done the last ten years, and I
- 53:00Speaker 1: didn't have any concerts or anything, and we would just
- 53:02Speaker 1: hang out the whole time. And then I think we
- 53:05Speaker 1: actually ended breaking up around the airing of Night one.
- 53:10Speaker 1: I think maybe just after that first Monday night of
- 53:13Speaker 1: the of the show of our season going live, which
- 53:17Speaker 1: actually was a massively traumatic thing that people probably didn't
- 53:22Speaker 1: realize because I actually got by heartbroken. I was really
- 53:25Speaker 1: into brit and um, she's the one officially that kind
- 53:29Speaker 1: of broke it off. And then I had to watch
- 53:31Speaker 1: the whole season and try to keep it hush and
- 53:34Speaker 1: couldn't really say anything. And so basically what I did
- 53:38Speaker 1: for the next two two and a half months while
- 53:39Speaker 1: the Team season was airing is I grabbed my guitar
- 53:42Speaker 1: and I wrote the shaddest songs Haven't Married a process
- 53:48Speaker 1: saying you know, hey, Brady, what are you doing now?
- 53:53Speaker 1: We just did a podcast together, UM that I enjoyed.
- 53:57Speaker 1: You're coming kind of with this, I guess the best
- 54:01Speaker 1: way to be to do this is the podcast you're
- 54:04Speaker 1: working on now is a little different than anything anybody's
- 54:07Speaker 1: really done from the franchise before. I just did the
- 54:10Speaker 1: podcast with you, and I enjoyed it a lot. So
- 54:13Speaker 1: tell our listeners, um, how they can find you, what
- 54:16Speaker 1: your podcast is about, and why they want to listen
- 54:18Speaker 1: to you. Yeah. Well, I remember our conversation. We basically
- 54:22Speaker 1: talked for three hours. I edit it down, but I
- 54:25Speaker 1: think it started to get good when when you were
- 54:27Speaker 1: on your third Bourbon and I was switching from wine
- 54:30Speaker 1: to bourbon, and we really got into it. So I
- 54:33Speaker 1: was inspired. Yeah, I was inspired by a quote from
- 54:38Speaker 1: a Jewish philosoper in the twentieth century named Martin Martin
- 54:40Speaker 1: Buber who said that when two people authentically and humanly relate,
- 54:45Speaker 1: God is the electricity that surges between them. And I've
- 54:49Speaker 1: always been fascinated by that electricity. I think you experienced
- 54:53Speaker 1: it in certain conversations, You experienced it in certain of
- 54:56Speaker 1: romantic love relationships. Well, my favorite thing to do is
- 54:59Speaker 1: to sit o people and ask them all the big
- 55:01Speaker 1: deep questions about life, questions like what is God? What
- 55:05Speaker 1: is the meaning of life? What happens that you die?
- 55:07Speaker 1: If you could ask God one question, what would be
- 55:09Speaker 1: and then see what they say. So really, my podcast
- 55:12Speaker 1: is a podcast that explores spirituality from people with people
- 55:16Speaker 1: that are at all different sort of stories and backgrounds,
- 55:19Speaker 1: And I think I just love to hear people's stories
- 55:22Speaker 1: and why they believe what they believe and and why
- 55:24Speaker 1: they practice what they practice. And you know, we we
- 55:28Speaker 1: had a beautiful conversation that's up in the podcast. The
- 55:31Speaker 1: podcast is called The unravel with Brady two. Is probably
- 55:34Speaker 1: the best way to find is just go to my
- 55:35Speaker 1: Instagram at Brady two and look at the link in
- 55:38Speaker 1: the bio. It's the Unraveled podcast dot com. But I
- 55:41Speaker 1: had you on it, and I've had a number of
- 55:43Speaker 1: other artists, um creative people about TV stars. I just
- 55:47Speaker 1: had well with Adams on the podcast where I asked
- 55:50Speaker 1: him questions at the at the end of in our podcast.
- 55:54Speaker 1: And basically, I think I just stole a bunch of
- 55:57Speaker 1: questions from Oprah and a few other people and put
- 55:59Speaker 1: it together. And I love to just see what people say.
- 56:03Speaker 1: It's a it's a really fun time and I love
- 56:06Speaker 1: doing it. I you know what, Brady, I think it's
- 56:09Speaker 1: awesome man. As you know, I enjoy, you know, talking
- 56:14Speaker 1: and processing the depths of life with somebody likes to
- 56:17Speaker 1: talk about it also, So Brady, thank you for doing it.

- 57:09Speaker 1: just continues to pop up on this podcast. Amy. I
- 57:13Speaker 1: don't know how this always happens, but the David the
- 57:17Speaker 1: Former Chicken has became one of our favorite guests on
- 57:21Speaker 1: the podcast because I just think he adds a level
- 57:25Speaker 1: of of sincerity and um brilliance and humor to life
- 57:30Speaker 1: that we need on the Almost Famous podcast. So we're
- 57:33Speaker 1: having David the Former Chicken in his weekly segment back
- 57:39Speaker 1: on the podcast how's it going done? What's the fastid? Uh? Hey,
- 57:44Speaker 1: my name is Colton? Not actually nice? Try chicken? What
- 57:49Speaker 1: is up man? Nothing, I'm just hanging to Ben today.
- 57:53Speaker 1: You guys having some fun here? Oh yeah, David, it's
- 57:56Speaker 1: always more fun when you come on the podcast. Um, you,
- 58:00Speaker 1: like I was just saying, I mean, you've become a regular.
- 58:02Speaker 1: I remember the first time you stopped in. You're a
- 58:03Speaker 1: little nervous, you're blushing your red. Now you just answer
- 58:07Speaker 1: the phone confidently. Uh, there's not a crackle in your voice.
- 58:10Speaker 1: You're ready to take on these questions. I'm ready for it. Then,
- 58:14Speaker 1: I'm ready for it. All right, David. The very first
- 58:18Speaker 1: thing we got to step into is what was your
- 58:19Speaker 1: opinion of the Colton into your relationship in Paradise and
- 58:23Speaker 1: and and David, I'm gonna before you start, I'm gonna
- 58:26Speaker 1: warn you. I can't have you dancing around this question. Okay,
- 58:30Speaker 1: I'm ready answered as direct as possible. Um. Yeah, So,
- 58:38Speaker 1: I mean we all knew that Tia was there from
- 58:41Speaker 1: day one, and we knew Colton was going to be there.
- 58:43Speaker 1: So when you got the day card, initially, um, you know,
- 58:47Speaker 1: we were all like, well, Colin's not here, What're you
- 58:49Speaker 1: gonna do with it? And then when you went Colton
- 58:51Speaker 1: Shows Update two, it was all like, all right, you know,
- 58:55Speaker 1: Colton here, he is here. They can figure their stuff out,
- 58:58Speaker 1: and um, you know, I think we'll have to watch
- 59:01Speaker 1: the rest of the season to see how that plays out.
- 59:04Speaker 1: But it looks like it was off to a pretty
- 59:05Speaker 1: good start. You thought that was off to a pretty
- 59:09Speaker 1: good start, would you not agree? Um? I think yeah.
- 59:15Speaker 1: I think the start of it was getting answers to,
- 59:19Speaker 1: you know, questions that I had. Right, I don't know
- 59:23Speaker 1: if i'd call it a good start. I mean, I
- 59:25Speaker 1: think it was a start. It was, it was a restart, right,
- 59:32Speaker 1: Maybe maybe the chicken suit, David, let's just call you David.
- 59:36Speaker 1: You know what I feel like the chicken suit is
- 59:37Speaker 1: the meaning at this point you're regular on the podcast
- 59:40Speaker 1: you deserve better. I feel like you're analyzing this Colt
- 59:44Speaker 1: and Ta situation a little differently than the rest of America.
- 59:46Speaker 1: That's okay. Um. The thing that came up last night
- 59:51Speaker 1: and I expected better from you because I thought we
- 59:54Speaker 1: had talked about it, was he brought up Jordan's again.
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: When did I bring up Jordan's? When have you not right?
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: As you went right up to Annalise, she was sitting there.
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: I remember this moment and you said, I just want
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: you to know what you're getting into, and then I
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: think you deserve better. Do you remember that now? Um?
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: I guess yeah, no, I guess that did happen? Um? Yeah,
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: I mean honestly, no, not really. UM put me in
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: a little bit. Uh. I think David, or I think
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: Jordan was sitting on the day bed with Analyze and
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: as you walked down, oh, when I walked yeah, oh um, yeah,
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: I mean I was just going to shake Jordan's dead there,
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: and you know, I'm just trying to make my rounds
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: in Paradise, coming down the stairs and well what everyone, no, no, no, this, no, no,
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: we're off track here. No, there's a separate conversation that
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: you brought up Jordan. Again, you warned somebody that Jordan
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: was pursuing about him and and and this is again,
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: this is before you on the podcast the first time.
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: So what happens is you you didn't even get to
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: see your episode that you were released from the Bachelor
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: at until after you got back from Paradise, right or
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: was that right before? No, we saw the first episode
- 1:01:21Speaker 1: and then we um, then we went to the Stone Paradise.
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: So so do your benefit. You actually weren't able to
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: like learn from your mistakes by watching The Bachelor at first? Yeah,
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: I mean I hadn't watched anything back and I hadn't
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: talked to you yet, so before, you know, before I
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: was able to get from you, I mean I didn't
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: know anything. Oh, David, you we are well, and I
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: don't know how well you got to know David during
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: these seasons that you've now participated with him. But he
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: is a gym. I mean, this guy is one of
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: the kind. He's genuine, he's authentic, he cares, he listens
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: very very well to two critical feedback. Um, if I
- 1:02:05Speaker 1: had a whole season to spend with David on the beach,
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: I don't think I can contain myself from laughing. The
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: guy just makes me know, And you know, he's so
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: optimistic about everything. But Jordan's like even like my relationship,
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: He's like, your relationship with Tia was so great, Colton,
- 1:02:21Speaker 1: and then he'd be like, you know, on the opposite hand,
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: you have just Jordan's He's pro everybody but Jordan's and hey,
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: by the way, David I appreciate you coming up and
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: talking to me. I know obviously I was emotional. It
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: was a different side that you got to see what
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: in that episode you came up and I you know,
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: obviously I had somebody talked to. I appreciate it that
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: that was a good moment. I mean, obviously it was
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: tough for you. You were going through a lot and
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: you need someone there. And um, you know, I think
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: that we get to see, you know, a couple of
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: few people kind of a taking you and the right
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: reasons police, but I feel like you needed some one
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: in your quarter and d for you, yep, David how Okay.
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: We've talked to a few people. We talked to Nicki
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: slick Um, we've talked to Colton. Now, Uh, for you
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: going into Paradise, what was your hope and and it's
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: going to come off a little bit contriving to manipulated here,
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: but what was your strategy going into Paradise? Was it
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: define love? How are you planning on doing that? Were
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: you planning opening up to everybody? Do you have your
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: eye on somebody's particular? Um? But mostly what was your
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: mindset going in to the beach? Yeah? So, I mean
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: I knew I was going to have a good time regardless,
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: you know, regardless of finding while of finding someone, you know,
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: I was gonna have a good time. And um, you
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: know I didn't go into it expecting to keep just
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: one person, expecting to see, you know, a single person.
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: I just wanted to meet a bunch of different people.
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: Now like that said, Um, I not, I didn't play
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: the game. Um, and you know, I think we'll have
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: to see how the season unfold. Um. So you know,
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: I don't, you know, I don't. I don't like to
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: open up to too many people. If I like someone else,
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: certainly open up to them. Um. But you know that's
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: definitely tough for me. And that was a tough situation
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: to scenario. And I think we'll get to se how
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: that kind of plays it out over the season. David,
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: you're stud We like it. Man. This is a safe
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: place for you. I can't wait to continue to bring
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: you on keep saying weird stuff. At least it just
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: gives me a reason every episode and then have you
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: on here and just be like, David, you did it again, man,
- 1:04:31Speaker 1: you just you did it again. Oh man, Yeah, it's uh.
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: In front of the cameras being in that environment a
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: little difficult, but I'd like to be able to sit
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: back that with you, bench out with you, Coole, and
- 1:04:44Speaker 1: then you guys are good people. David. I love you
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: many here David, the former Chicken, the current stud, and
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: the man on a mission in Paradise. Thanks for coming on,
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: Thanks for having you, David. This has been an incredible
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: podcast cool and you've lived up to the hype. You
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: continue to be a man on a mission and a
- 1:05:06Speaker 1: man that comes on this podcast adds clarity, adds vision,
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: ads heart to everything that the listeners already love about you. Um,
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: before we go, I have one one question. As I said,
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: I was laying in bed last night thinking about you,
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: and I also started thinking about the last season of
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: The Bachelor at saying about Garrett and the fact that
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: we don't know how to say Becca's last name. And
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: then I thought about Garrett and I have no clue
- 1:05:29Speaker 1: how to even spell, say or even hardly look at.
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: His name is hard to look at because I can't
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: process it. How do you say Garrett's last name? Garrett?
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: You're growing? And is she gonna become Becca? Your growing?
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: I think they're going to hyphenate. That's the hardest last.
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: Please don't it's either gonna I think personally, personally, I
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: think Garret should just go by Garrett Couperin. I'd be
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: way easier. It really would be. Can you imagine their
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: children in school you're growing. I mean, they can't even
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: say they're literally going to live their whole life being
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: that that there air kids with the whole life being
- 1:06:07Speaker 1: that person that never gets their names said correctly, and
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: they're not going to spell it right until they're like
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: ten or eleven either. It's so sad. That's so sad. Well, anyways,
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: um hey, we're gonna keep pumping along on the Almost
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: Famous podcast. We've got huge, huge weeks in front of us.
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: We're lucky enough to have some of the biggest names
