and then after that I went to California and she
went to Montana with the girlies, Okay, to take pictures

Literally, that was the entire purpose of that trip. Her

Speaker 3 (01:37):
Don't don't keep it cute?

Yeah, how do you feel about that?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
He liked the photos, so that's what matters. He liked
what he saw.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
I saw some comments, Okay, yeah, I didn't like it.
Speaker 6 (01:52):
To celebrate Jess's birthday, and we was like, why not.
We're in Montana, let's dial it up, just a singular
notch okay, And that's what we did. And everyone's photos
were great and we had a great time.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Okay, love that pretty ques Sea. What's the Latia connection.
She seems like the odd man out.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
That was very random. That's a good question. Oh, thank you.
Speaker 6 (02:14):
Now, if you know me, I'm like, I'm like mother
bear to everyone. And yeah, I had Katie and me
and a couple other girls really just connected with her
earlier on she lives in Utahs.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
It was like close you still you still are friends
with most of the girls from your season. Hw, you
guys are all pretty close?
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yeah we are.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Wow a blessing. Are you close with anyone from your
season anymore?
Speaker 5 (02:42):
I think I would say we have the closest season
ever in Bachelor history. Bachelor history. Now, all the guys
were tired. We all went to Mexico, like sixteen of
us last year, which is rare. Right at this point,
I feel like, uh, it's usually like groups of like two,
three or four, and then some of them hate each other,
and we don't have any of that, which is sort
of like what Jeremy's That's like Jeremy's group, they're like
(03:03):
that where they all kind of hate each other. But
we're all we're all real cool, we get along real well.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
I love how Dwton throws out Bachelor history like you've
you've never watched it, you didn't even know. You get
engaged on the show, the history.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
I went back seventeen seasons, and the boys are not
They don't talk to each.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Other that I've been doing this. I've been in these
streets for a while now, Joe put some respect on
my name. Bro, that is true.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Do you not think about all these other guys kissing
your fiance like when you're hanging out with them?
Speaker 3 (03:35):
That's very funny, not original, but the answer no, I
do not.
Speaker 6 (03:42):
So, Jeremy, are you still close with the guys from
your season?
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (03:46):
I mean you know, we're not all like a tight
knit group like like Dying's cast for your cast, I
should say, but yeah, we're still close. I think you
know me awesome. A few of us might go to
Nashville soon. Well, yeah, we'll do some trips.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Well, I see any of you guys that stagecoach?
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Uh. I don't like country music, but I heard the scene,
so I'll go. I'll be there.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Hey you want could you be in Paradise?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
No? I won't. Hi. Yi.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
All right, all right, let's talk about that for some Well,
first of all, First of all, Jeremy, why do you
have your shirt off right now?
Speaker 4 (04:18):
It's a great question. I don't like wearing clothes. No,
it's it's like, I don't know. I mean, it happens
to be fifty degrees in New York today, but it's
been like fifteen degrees, so I booked to book to
flight to LA and it's eighty degrees.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
So you're just trying to get it. It's a beautiful
lap and you're saying you are definitely not going to paradise.
Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 4 (04:40):
I never say for one hundred percent? Okay, it's it's
not in the cards right now?
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Why he's gone?
Speaker 5 (04:51):
You know specific reason you trying to keep cute?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
It is us.
Speaker 6 (04:58):
It is Dowton and Charity and Joe.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Don't keep anything you over here.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Jeremy is the king of pretending, like I don't know, Like, no,
you don't.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Do it, Jeremy, after watching Grant season, has anything? Is
any of the girls that you would want to meet change?
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Like?
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Did any of that change for you?
Speaker 3 (05:17):
No?
Speaker 4 (05:18):
And I happen to meet a bunch of them back
in like November in New York, so they're all cool.
But no, it doesn't, it doesn't change anything.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Okay, Okay, all right, So Jeremy's not not going up here.
But I think do we want to place a wager
on this podcast right now? Charity, do you guys think
he's going.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
To be there? I will bet the house.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
I'm with you. I agree.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
I will bet ABC's bank account. He will be.
Speaker 6 (05:48):
Okay, so we can obviously let it rest that you're
probably or probably will be at Paradise.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
We don't know yet, but you are in LA right now.
So I'm curious you doing out there.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
It was sort of a last minute trip. I wanted
some son and then they were like, yeah, you should
come through the TELLL So I'll be front row maybe
if they like me, I'll be front row getting some reactions.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
From me during the girl's fighting.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Okay, okay, So Engle went after probably all right, uh, Dotton,
have you have you watched? Have you been keeping up
with the season.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
As much as I can? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Yeah, So from what you've seen overall, how do you
feel Grants doing.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Mm hmm, Jesus, I think he's doing good. I mean,
I think he's doing good.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
It's just like he's I mean, he's got a different
personality than anything that like I might sort of approach
it with. So like, I think for the way that
he's doing it, I think he's doing good. And man,
I would say, like it's a tough thing to you
get criticized so much on that show for doing you know,
the smallest thing wrong and I can't really think of
anything egregious that he's done, you know. But yeah, he's
(07:01):
just like he's got a different personality and I think
it comes off a little bit different.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
But nothing nothing bad. I think he's doing okay.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
You know what do you what do you think of
the music? You're a big music of like his music, yeah,
or just like involving music in the show.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Oh, I mean I don't think much of it, Like
good for you. I think it's great. I heard the
one song.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
The one song is good, you know, Yeah, it's not bad.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
It's like this, Jeremy, Jeremy, are you at all surprised
by anything Grant has done thus far? Like, is anything
shocked you at all? Is it all on par with
like his personality and who he is?
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Yeah, because you're like close.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
With him, Yeah, I'm close with them. I feel like
it is pretty on bar. He is a lover boy,
and I feel like when you say you're a lover boy,
it actually might mean you're not. But he really is.
I think he's approaching it well. I mean, you guys
know how the show works, like not everything will be shown,
so I think as an audience sometimes you could be
surprised that who might make it far who might go home.
(08:08):
But I'm not I'm.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Not necessarily surprised.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
But I think he's doing a great job, and I'm
pumped to see who he's engaged to.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
I think he's done a pretty good job of like
sort of reading out problematic people, which is, you know,
I think one of the most important things. Like as
far as who's left, I don't really see anybody.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
I really agree with that. Actually, yeah, I think he's done.
I think he's done a really good job at that too,
right yeah, well, which also it doesn't it doesn't really
make for the best TV. But I feel like he's caught.
I feel like he's got to the root of the
problem quicker than most leads do.
Speaker 6 (08:47):
I disagree because this man has no Zach Shallcross. That
man sent people packing if they look like so, I
will say it definitely, he has, like to a certain degree,
like yes, and he sent them packing eventually, But I
think it has taken him and not about I think
he definitely is more practical about it. He's not like
(09:08):
quick to like make a decision, which I do admire
to a certain degree, but he has left some I
think there for.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
The plot a little bit longer, I think, so I'm
not gonna do that. Watch the season.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Well, yeah, and I think Zach was Zach was definitely
the bachelor of like, oh wait, you're there for the
wrong reasons. You gotta go like yeah, yeah, yeah, he
didn't play around. Okay, so right now we have we
have four women left, Zoe, Zoe, Letilla, Juliana, and Dina.
(09:47):
Are we surprised at all that he sent home Carolina
and Sarah Fina because I actually I really liked I
really like Sarah Fina. Oh and Alex. But Alice got
the first one on one and then we kind of
never saw her again.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
I know, I I hate it, I love I love her,
I love her.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Yeah, Alex was.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
I feel like it's the most one of the better
best choices, probably like from the little we know, Like, so, yeah,
a little surprised.
Speaker 7 (10:13):
But Jeremy, how about you, I'm actually not too surprised.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
That's not throwing shed I think Alex is great. Saraphina
seems great. I think people were surprised at Zoe because
she didn't have a one on one, But I believe
in the momentum, so like I didn't think I was
going to necessarily get a one on one.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
I still thought I was going to the towns.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
So did you have a one on one before hometowns?
Speaker 4 (10:43):
I got the last one, so right into hometowns. Okay,
But like I wouldn't have been obviously I would have
been upset if I didn't get it.
Speaker 6 (10:50):
But but would you have still been fine if Jim.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
Was like Okay, that's a different story.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Yeah, okay.
Speaker 6 (10:56):
So that's where we see Grant is in the bringing
Zoe home without one on one, and I was like,
I don't know if I personally could do it.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
I don't know if I could.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Yeah, would you, Jeremy, would you have done it?
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Between you and me? I was talking about that with producers,
like I don't know if I would have like actually
brought her home if I didn't get that one on one. Yeah,
well that didn't.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Happen, Jeremy. You not to rub it in. I don't
think you really care, but you got sent home after
your one on one correct or after your hometown after
your hometown oh yeah, after your hometown news or can
you kind of just like yeah, like kind of just
run through that with us, like did you were you
expecting it after that or was it more of a
(11:41):
letdown since she finally did meet your mom and everybody?
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Yeah, I mean my hometown was interesting where I still
think it went great, and obviously it might not have
gotten the best reaction to the audience, like it that
was kind of like the scary one of the four.
I actually was surprised I went home. I'm pretty confident,
slightly delusional. Maybe my producers were too. I thought I
(12:08):
was going all the way. The question in my head
wasn't like if I was getting sent home. It was
like would I be ready to compose?
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Got it? Really? Do you think you would have been ready?
Speaker 4 (12:18):
I wasn't at that point, but like you know, the
show move is in such weird speeds.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
For sure.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Over nights can change a lot of things.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Yeah, oh tell me more.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
If you were talking.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
About it, Dott and how about your how about your hometown?
How was that did that change anything for your relationship
with Charity?
Speaker 3 (12:41):
I definitely for sure.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
I mean up until that point, it was like I
knew I was feeling it, but again, you don't know
how that bubble kind of is affecting you, and like
it's so easy to get delusional and you know, all
the dates are perfect, So it was nice to get
that external validation from my family, who honestly sort of
similar to like almost expecting sort of how I expected
(13:03):
it to be with what's your name?
Speaker 3 (13:05):
The girl who's.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
Dina, like expecting something like that because my parents like, oh,
they're not going to play that. But the fact that
they were her one like so open and supportive, which
was nice for like my personal wayship with them to
know that. But then in terms of the show and charity,
like they saw it like they saw it.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
I didn't ask for them to look at it. I
told them, hey, be as critical as.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
You can be, because this is crazy to me if
there's no way that actually feel this way, and when
they helped me confirm.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
That, so yeah, it was huge.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
And then that was like okay, all all gas, no breaks,
let's let's ride this thing to the end.
Speaker 6 (13:36):
So yeah, I want I want to ask you because
you mentioned like Dina and obviously, like we see in
the Hometown episode that her parents chose not to like come,
so like she didn't have her parents like support, so
it was just her friends and like obviously, like I
like it was no secret, Like I obviously you were
the first person I said, I was like falling in
love with at hometowns. But like if your parents hadn't
(13:59):
had been there, do you think that that would have
like changed your outlook on like our relationship And I
guess I could answer that too.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
No, I don't think so.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
I although I expected them to be more critical, I
went into it also I'm sort of stubborn in this way,
but also feeling like I'm gonna do what I want
to do, like you know, if my feelings are strong,
then it's going to be okay, and I'm going to
move forward. And so no, I wasn't going to let
that be like, you know, the total like the only
thing I made weigh my decision on.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
But it was just a huge added bonus to like
have them there.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
And again I was surprised, you know, I didn't think
they would be that supportive, but they loved it and
they were all super happy, and so yeah, I would
have still moved forward for sure, but yeah, just an
edit bonus and more more weight to to.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
I guess I guess that would be pretty rough if
like you, if you're at your hometown and you're you're
about leaving your parents, like don't fucking do it, Like, yeah,
I'm taking a huge mistake. We hated hat that would.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Have actually destroyed me. Like I was like, I was
so nervous, like for his hometown.
Speaker 6 (15:09):
I was like, it's like, well I thought we weren't
going to meet his parents, but then they showed up,
and then I was like Okay, now, like it's actually
really like happening. I hope they like me, and if
they don't, like what does this mean? Because I was
like so like.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Yeah, what do you think that what would have what
would have that done to you? Mentally if you left
Dotton's hometown and he and the parents were like no, no,
like we we vocalized that we don't like you.
Speaker 6 (15:36):
See That's the thing is like I mean I'm very
similar to Dotton in this way.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
It's like I probably would have been like.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Well sorry, yeah, yeah, I'm still.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Gonna do what I want to do.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
And I obviously respect them, but like yeah, like it
would have hurt me. Like I obviously would have wanted
that like validation from them and just like that acceptance,
but like I think it would have been different because
like the problem was is like not if they wouldn't
have liked me.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
It was just like, am I going to meet them
before proposal?
Speaker 6 (16:05):
Like that's where we were like uncertain of I think
I have a little bit of confidence that I just
do well with parents like parents.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Not to treat my own horn, but like I do well.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
You are you are?
Speaker 6 (16:14):
But yeah, yeah, so I was not really worried that
they weren't gonna like me, but just like if I
was going to meet them and have that opportunity to
connect before but luckily all as well.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
So wait, Joe, Joe, what about you?
Speaker 5 (16:27):
I know, obviously like yours, you didn't have a hometowns
on Bachelor TV, But like what about you and Serena,
Like was that a concern or like were you nervous
because you're tough?
Speaker 3 (16:36):
For you you got engaged on the beach, which is.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Like, yeah, yeah, that was It was a tough situation
because like her parents didn't love obviously they and rightfully
so they didn't love the idea of her daughter getting
engaged to someone that they never met. And that was
that was that was initially a tough hurdle and I
(16:58):
kind of I knew that going in, like I knew
like I understood where they were coming from I wasn't
you know, I wasn't gonna be like, well, too bad,
Like I get it, like it's it's a it's kind
of a fucked up situation. But I'm I'm similar to Charity,
where like parents, they eventually they eventually, you know, they
break down. They love me too, So it worked out.
(17:20):
How's your grandmother?
Speaker 5 (17:22):
Oh she's great. I just saw her two days ago.
She was the last person I saw before I flew
back to New York. She's awesome. Yeah, she's doing good,
looking the same as when y'all saw her on TV thriving.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Yeah, really good. Yeah you remember her. She she a
memorable person.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Yeah, that's who everyone remembers.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
Two seconds, two seconds of screen time and like more memorable.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
That the best bar in history. Bonding period she said,
you said we're bonded.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
In heaven and in YopE. But yeah, period.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
And I know that, I know that's a native tone.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Thank you. Yeah, so, Jeremy, I I when I watched
I remember watching you on the show and watching Hometowns
and you and you. I'm a little shocked to hear
that you were like, oh, I thought like she was
gonna choose me because I kind of I was like,
you seem pretty realistic, and I just didn't think. I
just didn't think you guys were there yet. Were you
(18:24):
heart broken? Were you heartbroken when you left?
Speaker 2 (18:26):
What's the other hometowns?
Speaker 3 (18:28):
What'd you say? Charity? All right?
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Who was the I'm trusting? I think who the other
to the.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Final four were me, Devin, Marcus, and Jonathan?
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Yeah, what was I heartbroken?
Speaker 4 (18:40):
I'm not gonna say I was heart broken. I was
definitely a little sad. Yeah, yeah, I definitely understand, Like
if you're watching that without going through like the experience,
you'd be like, oh, yeah that, Jeremy's definitely going obviously
got that I'm going home as h and I knew
you were going home. Yeah, I'm sure you did. No,
(19:00):
Like as a cast member, you don't know how the
other interactions are, so you can only judge it based
on yourself, and that was a pretty tunnel vision with it.
So I actually did not think I was going on.
So I came back I was like, Okay.
Speaker 6 (19:15):
Yeah, Like from audience perspective, it's like what we see like,
but you're obviously living and it's completely different.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
It went better than what was shown.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Is what you're saying, yeah, it definitely went better and
what was shown. But also at the same point, I'm
not going to just cast myself up like I was not.
Me and her were not at that point yet, like
I was not in love with her at that point
and other guys that express that.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
So mhm, it all works out.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Yeah once once it was over, it was was it over?
She she's single? Did you like reach out after or
anything like that or not?
Speaker 4 (19:48):
I don't think she's single, but no, well she.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Was single for she was She was single for at
least a couple of days after.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Are you trying to you trying to get this podcast
a million views? You should?
Speaker 6 (20:03):
I think, I mean, we can give Jeremy a little
bit of credit. I think he is a little bit
of a gentleman and he would have probably waited if
he wanted to reach out to Jin. But we we
all watched the finale. It was not good timing.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
It would have never been good timing.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
I don't think so.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
All as well good timing for a dance.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Yeah, I say, I'm.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Out of conversation now.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
I have nothing else to say.

Can you tell us who you met?
Speaker 4 (20:53):
Yeah, I've met I've met Alex, I've met Beverly, I've

a minute, Charity and Dotton, you're in New York? Anything
anything new upcoming? What are you doing live and life?
Speaker 6 (21:33):
It's really like, I'm sorry, we don't have much to give.
I know, like what everyone wants to hear, but we
have just we are not speaking out on that until
we have everything solidified, until we are ready to like
speak out and move forward with everything.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
I was really just like curious if you guys are
like going out to dinner this weekend. I wasn't, So
you're coming at.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
Me like I just like it's like, Okay, what's the
what's the update? And like I always feel like that's
the update.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
People are like, Okay, what's next?
Speaker 6 (22:09):
Yeah, well, yes, we will be going out to dinner.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Would you like to come?
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Joet Like, yeah, yeah I would, Actually I would. Serena's
been gone. Serena has been on a cruise. So I
live in New York to Saturday. Yeah, but you're in
l A right now, Jeremy.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
I'll be back Monday.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
Give me a break.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Okay, we can all do we can all go out
this weekend, coming up next on a cruise next weekend.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Serena's on a cruise without you.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Yeah, she's on a cruise. About me?
Speaker 3 (22:35):
You know what? They say.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
That I have a child, honestly, honestly, like, I'm not
worried about a guy that goes on a cruise a
single Jeremy, how about how about you? When are you
you come back to New York? What do you got
going on?
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (22:59):
I wish I had like a huge life update, but no,
I'll be back in New York in a few days
and chilling. It's cold. I'll probably be on my couch,
go to whatever events I get invited to and yeah, cool,
nothing crazy.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Wait, Charity, are you going to the woman? Tell all?
Speaker 2 (23:18):
No, right, no, I will not be there.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
But you are going to AFR.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Hell listen.
Speaker 6 (23:23):
If the universe alignes, yes, I will be present front row.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Okay, okay, how about predictions for Grant season? Who do
you think's going to end up with? Who's going to
get their heartbroken?
Speaker 6 (23:37):
Okay, so right now, after hometowns, I think top two
would easily be Letia and Juliana. I just I had
my thoughts in your amazing, incredible girl, but I just
don't see it with her and Grant.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
I am wanting.
Speaker 6 (23:57):
More from Juliana and Grant's relationship, and right now I
think Letia is.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
His strongest his strongest relationship.
Speaker 6 (24:05):
So I am very excited to see this all unfold. Yeah,
it seems like things will get a little dicey. So
I would love to be at AFR.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Do I like that?
Speaker 4 (24:20):
I agree with you? Yeah, I agree with Charity. I
think that's the final two. I mean, I'd be shocked
if it wasn't. I loved Letia's hometown with Grant. I
think they have something special. I loved her a little
conversation with her grandpa and then her mom after. She
seems like a super quality girl. But I love to
(24:43):
be at AFR.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Two guys, Donna gives like some realistic answer.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Come on, no, I'm gonna pick it back off with you, Elsea.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
Really, I mean yeah, I was surprised, like I was
fully expecting actually a pretty bad hometown because of the
little Mormon things. But I forgot that Mormons are like
the nicest people on her, so of course it went
well and they're like super sweet, and yeah, she had
a really really sweet home town, Dina. I feel bad
for her. I feel so bad, No, truly, like so sad.
She was strong, she was a little ice queen.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
So I don't know.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
I don't know if they were endgame. Anyways, I'm trying
to think who else? Who are the last two?
Speaker 3 (25:22):
Again? There's a Julian.
Speaker 5 (25:25):
Yeah, I think Zoe was a potential I see, I
actually see, like I don't know, based on the little
I know, like some similarities between him and Zoe, and
I think there's a lot of potential that but he
hasn't taken our one on one yet, so it's not
it's kind of untapped. But out of all the four,
I feel like that's the one that he should definitely
explore the most and that there's potential otherwise. Yeah, it's Lydia,
(25:48):
so I see Lydia and Zoey. Yeah, oh sorry, Lydia.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
That is true. That is true, though I forget like
Mormons are like the nicest. I would have left that
house be like, I'm not Mormon, but like you guys
are so happy, I'm gonna be more. You're doing something
right because this looks great.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Yeah. Yeah, a beautiful family house.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
You know, everyone's smiling, like they're smiling the full time,
like this is this is fantastic. Yeah, okay, one more.
If there if there was going to be a Bachelorette season,
who would you have liked to see as the lead
from this season?
Speaker 4 (26:27):
I think it depends on who wins or not, Like.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
I well, let's let's just let's just figure yeah, let's
just figure grand picks no one, right, Like, who out
of everyone would you like to see be the lead?
Speaker 4 (26:41):
I could see it being Latia.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Yeah, yeah, I agree, I would say not Letia. Actually
I would say, I mean, who do I want? Who
I want?
Speaker 5 (26:52):
I guess would be Alex. I don't know if she
seems to seems smart cool, normal. Yeah, I mean yeah,
I think Carolina would make for interesting TV. You know,
if you're looking for that.
Speaker 6 (27:02):
I feel like, and you said it, Alex is normal,
but like her one liners this season delivered, and I
feel like that's a side that probably didn't have to
come out as much, or probably she wouldn't want to
want to come out as much with like the girls,
but like on a season of your own, it would
inevitably come out.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
And I feel like she would have a gray season.
Speaker 6 (27:22):
And also I would pick Letia if she yes, of course,
miss miss build a bear Workshop.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Chill.
Speaker 6 (27:32):
She kept her demeanor, but she also she let it
be known, and like I respect that, let it be known.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Okay, right, I see her in you. I see that.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
I think I think Alex would have had a messy
season too, because I think a lot of guys, a
lot of guys would have fell hard for her, and
it would have caused a lot of commotion.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
In the house exactly.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
That's what we need. That's what we need, but we're
gonna need. Uh, we just got to see now if

Speaker 3 (01:07):
We didn't know?
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Tell them how much.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
He missed me so much, I had to sprint it
back home. Uh No.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
We went on the cruise and that ended in Miami,
and then after that I went to California and she
went to Montana with the girlies, Okay, to take pictures
in the snow and in bikinis.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Literally, that was the entire purpose of that trip. Her
journey was for all, he's.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Really cute and that's a half hour right now, you
know how it goes.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Don't don't keep it cute?
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Yeah, how do you feel about that?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
He liked the photos, so that's what matters. He liked
what he saw.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
I saw some comments, Okay, yeah, I didn't like it.
Speaker 6 (01:52):
To celebrate Jess's birthday, and we was like, why not.
We're in Montana, let's dial it up, just a singular
notch okay, And that's what we did. And everyone's photos
were great and we had a great time.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Okay, love that pretty ques Sea. What's the Latia connection.
She seems like the odd man out.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
That was very random. That's a good question. Oh, thank you.
Speaker 6 (02:14):
Now, if you know me, I'm like, I'm like mother
bear to everyone. And yeah, I had Katie and me
and a couple other girls really just connected with her
earlier on she lives in Utahs.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
It was like close you still you still are friends
with most of the girls from your season. Hw, you
guys are all pretty close?
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yeah we are.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Wow a blessing. Are you close with anyone from your
season anymore?
Speaker 5 (02:42):
I think I would say we have the closest season
ever in Bachelor history. Bachelor history. Now, all the guys
were tired. We all went to Mexico, like sixteen of
us last year, which is rare. Right at this point,
I feel like, uh, it's usually like groups of like two,
three or four, and then some of them hate each other,
and we don't have any of that, which is sort
of like what Jeremy's That's like Jeremy's group, they're like
(03:03):
that where they all kind of hate each other. But
we're all we're all real cool, we get along real well.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
I love how Dwton throws out Bachelor history like you've
you've never watched it, you didn't even know. You get
engaged on the show, the history.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
I went back seventeen seasons, and the boys are not
They don't talk to each.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Other that I've been doing this. I've been in these
streets for a while now, Joe put some respect on
my name. Bro, that is true.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Do you not think about all these other guys kissing
your fiance like when you're hanging out with them?
Speaker 3 (03:35):
That's very funny, not original, but the answer no, I
do not.
Speaker 6 (03:42):
So, Jeremy, are you still close with the guys from
your season?
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (03:46):
I mean you know, we're not all like a tight
knit group like like Dying's cast for your cast, I
should say, but yeah, we're still close. I think you
know me awesome. A few of us might go to
Nashville soon. Well, yeah, we'll do some trips.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Well, I see any of you guys that stagecoach?
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Uh. I don't like country music, but I heard the scene,
so I'll go. I'll be there.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Hey you want could you be in Paradise?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
No? I won't. Hi. Yi.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
All right, all right, let's talk about that for some Well,
first of all, First of all, Jeremy, why do you
have your shirt off right now?
Speaker 4 (04:18):
It's a great question. I don't like wearing clothes. No,
it's it's like, I don't know. I mean, it happens
to be fifty degrees in New York today, but it's
been like fifteen degrees, so I booked to book to
flight to LA and it's eighty degrees.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
So you're just trying to get it. It's a beautiful
lap and you're saying you are definitely not going to paradise.
Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 4 (04:40):
I never say for one hundred percent? Okay, it's it's
not in the cards right now?
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Why he's gone?
Speaker 5 (04:51):
You know specific reason you trying to keep cute?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
It is us.
Speaker 6 (04:58):
It is Dowton and Charity and Joe.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Don't keep anything you over here.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Jeremy is the king of pretending, like I don't know, Like, no,
you don't.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Do it, Jeremy, after watching Grant season, has anything? Is
any of the girls that you would want to meet change?
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Like?
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Did any of that change for you?
Speaker 3 (05:17):
No?
Speaker 4 (05:18):
And I happen to meet a bunch of them back
in like November in New York, so they're all cool.
But no, it doesn't, it doesn't change anything.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Okay, Okay, all right, So Jeremy's not not going up here.
But I think do we want to place a wager
on this podcast right now? Charity, do you guys think
he's going.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
To be there? I will bet the house.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
I'm with you. I agree.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
I will bet ABC's bank account. He will be.
Speaker 6 (05:48):
Okay, so we can obviously let it rest that you're
probably or probably will be at Paradise.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
We don't know yet, but you are in LA right now.
So I'm curious you doing out there.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
It was sort of a last minute trip. I wanted
some son and then they were like, yeah, you should
come through the TELLL So I'll be front row maybe
if they like me, I'll be front row getting some reactions.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
From me during the girl's fighting.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Okay, okay, So Engle went after probably all right, uh, Dotton,
have you have you watched? Have you been keeping up
with the season.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
As much as I can? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Yeah, So from what you've seen overall, how do you
feel Grants doing.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Mm hmm, Jesus, I think he's doing good. I mean,
I think he's doing good.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
It's just like he's I mean, he's got a different
personality than anything that like I might sort of approach
it with. So like, I think for the way that
he's doing it, I think he's doing good. And man,
I would say, like it's a tough thing to you
get criticized so much on that show for doing you know,
the smallest thing wrong and I can't really think of
anything egregious that he's done, you know. But yeah, he's
(07:01):
just like he's got a different personality and I think
it comes off a little bit different.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
But nothing nothing bad. I think he's doing okay.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
You know what do you what do you think of
the music? You're a big music of like his music, yeah,
or just like involving music in the show.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Oh, I mean I don't think much of it, Like
good for you. I think it's great. I heard the
one song.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
The one song is good, you know, Yeah, it's not bad.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
It's like this, Jeremy, Jeremy, are you at all surprised
by anything Grant has done thus far? Like, is anything
shocked you at all? Is it all on par with
like his personality and who he is?
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Yeah, because you're like close.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
With him, Yeah, I'm close with them. I feel like
it is pretty on bar. He is a lover boy,
and I feel like when you say you're a lover boy,
it actually might mean you're not. But he really is.
I think he's approaching it well. I mean, you guys
know how the show works, like not everything will be shown,
so I think as an audience sometimes you could be
surprised that who might make it far who might go home.
(08:08):
But I'm not I'm.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Not necessarily surprised.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
But I think he's doing a great job, and I'm
pumped to see who he's engaged to.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
I think he's done a pretty good job of like
sort of reading out problematic people, which is, you know,
I think one of the most important things. Like as
far as who's left, I don't really see anybody.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
I really agree with that. Actually, yeah, I think he's done.
I think he's done a really good job at that too,
right yeah, well, which also it doesn't it doesn't really
make for the best TV. But I feel like he's caught.
I feel like he's got to the root of the
problem quicker than most leads do.
Speaker 6 (08:47):
I disagree because this man has no Zach Shallcross. That
man sent people packing if they look like so, I
will say it definitely, he has, like to a certain degree,
like yes, and he sent them packing eventually, But I
think it has taken him and not about I think
he definitely is more practical about it. He's not like
(09:08):
quick to like make a decision, which I do admire
to a certain degree, but he has left some I
think there for.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
The plot a little bit longer, I think, so I'm
not gonna do that. Watch the season.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Well, yeah, and I think Zach was Zach was definitely
the bachelor of like, oh wait, you're there for the
wrong reasons. You gotta go like yeah, yeah, yeah, he
didn't play around. Okay, so right now we have we
have four women left, Zoe, Zoe, Letilla, Juliana, and Dina.
(09:47):
Are we surprised at all that he sent home Carolina
and Sarah Fina because I actually I really liked I
really like Sarah Fina. Oh and Alex. But Alice got
the first one on one and then we kind of
never saw her again.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
I know, I I hate it, I love I love her,
I love her.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Yeah, Alex was.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
I feel like it's the most one of the better
best choices, probably like from the little we know, Like, so, yeah,
a little surprised.
Speaker 7 (10:13):
But Jeremy, how about you, I'm actually not too surprised.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
That's not throwing shed I think Alex is great. Saraphina
seems great. I think people were surprised at Zoe because
she didn't have a one on one, But I believe
in the momentum, so like I didn't think I was
going to necessarily get a one on one.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
I still thought I was going to the towns.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
So did you have a one on one before hometowns?
Speaker 4 (10:43):
I got the last one, so right into hometowns. Okay,
But like I wouldn't have been obviously I would have
been upset if I didn't get it.
Speaker 6 (10:50):
But but would you have still been fine if Jim.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
Was like Okay, that's a different story.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Yeah, okay.
Speaker 6 (10:56):
So that's where we see Grant is in the bringing
Zoe home without one on one, and I was like,
I don't know if I personally could do it.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
I don't know if I could.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Yeah, would you, Jeremy, would you have done it?
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Between you and me? I was talking about that with producers,
like I don't know if I would have like actually
brought her home if I didn't get that one on one. Yeah,
well that didn't.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Happen, Jeremy. You not to rub it in. I don't
think you really care, but you got sent home after
your one on one correct or after your hometown after
your hometown oh yeah, after your hometown news or can
you kind of just like yeah, like kind of just
run through that with us, like did you were you
expecting it after that or was it more of a
(11:41):
letdown since she finally did meet your mom and everybody?
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Yeah, I mean my hometown was interesting where I still
think it went great, and obviously it might not have
gotten the best reaction to the audience, like it that
was kind of like the scary one of the four.
I actually was surprised I went home. I'm pretty confident,
slightly delusional. Maybe my producers were too. I thought I
(12:08):
was going all the way. The question in my head
wasn't like if I was getting sent home. It was
like would I be ready to compose?
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Got it? Really? Do you think you would have been ready?
Speaker 4 (12:18):
I wasn't at that point, but like you know, the
show move is in such weird speeds.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
For sure.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Over nights can change a lot of things.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Yeah, oh tell me more.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
If you were talking.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
About it, Dott and how about your how about your hometown?
How was that did that change anything for your relationship
with Charity?
Speaker 3 (12:41):
I definitely for sure.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
I mean up until that point, it was like I
knew I was feeling it, but again, you don't know
how that bubble kind of is affecting you, and like
it's so easy to get delusional and you know, all
the dates are perfect, So it was nice to get
that external validation from my family, who honestly sort of
similar to like almost expecting sort of how I expected
(13:03):
it to be with what's your name?
Speaker 3 (13:05):
The girl who's.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
Dina, like expecting something like that because my parents like, oh,
they're not going to play that. But the fact that
they were her one like so open and supportive, which
was nice for like my personal wayship with them to
know that. But then in terms of the show and charity,
like they saw it like they saw it.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
I didn't ask for them to look at it. I
told them, hey, be as critical as.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
You can be, because this is crazy to me if
there's no way that actually feel this way, and when
they helped me confirm.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
That, so yeah, it was huge.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
And then that was like okay, all all gas, no breaks,
let's let's ride this thing to the end.
Speaker 6 (13:36):
So yeah, I want I want to ask you because
you mentioned like Dina and obviously, like we see in
the Hometown episode that her parents chose not to like come,
so like she didn't have her parents like support, so
it was just her friends and like obviously, like I
like it was no secret, Like I obviously you were
the first person I said, I was like falling in
love with at hometowns. But like if your parents hadn't
(13:59):
had been there, do you think that that would have
like changed your outlook on like our relationship And I
guess I could answer that too.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
No, I don't think so.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
I although I expected them to be more critical, I
went into it also I'm sort of stubborn in this way,
but also feeling like I'm gonna do what I want
to do, like you know, if my feelings are strong,
then it's going to be okay, and I'm going to
move forward. And so no, I wasn't going to let
that be like, you know, the total like the only
thing I made weigh my decision on.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
But it was just a huge added bonus to like
have them there.
Speaker 5 (14:34):
And again I was surprised, you know, I didn't think
they would be that supportive, but they loved it and
they were all super happy, and so yeah, I would
have still moved forward for sure, but yeah, just an
edit bonus and more more weight to to.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
I guess I guess that would be pretty rough if
like you, if you're at your hometown and you're you're
about leaving your parents, like don't fucking do it, Like, yeah,
I'm taking a huge mistake. We hated hat that would.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Have actually destroyed me. Like I was like, I was
so nervous, like for his hometown.
Speaker 6 (15:09):
I was like, it's like, well I thought we weren't
going to meet his parents, but then they showed up,
and then I was like Okay, now, like it's actually
really like happening. I hope they like me, and if
they don't, like what does this mean? Because I was
like so like.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Yeah, what do you think that what would have what
would have that done to you? Mentally if you left
Dotton's hometown and he and the parents were like no, no,
like we we vocalized that we don't like you.
Speaker 6 (15:36):
See That's the thing is like I mean I'm very
similar to Dotton in this way.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
It's like I probably would have been like.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Well sorry, yeah, yeah, I'm still.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Gonna do what I want to do.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
And I obviously respect them, but like yeah, like it
would have hurt me. Like I obviously would have wanted
that like validation from them and just like that acceptance,
but like I think it would have been different because
like the problem was is like not if they wouldn't
have liked me.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
It was just like, am I going to meet them
before proposal?
Speaker 6 (16:05):
Like that's where we were like uncertain of I think
I have a little bit of confidence that I just
do well with parents like parents.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Not to treat my own horn, but like I do well.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
You are you are?
Speaker 6 (16:14):
But yeah, yeah, so I was not really worried that
they weren't gonna like me, but just like if I
was going to meet them and have that opportunity to
connect before but luckily all as well.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
So wait, Joe, Joe, what about you?
Speaker 5 (16:27):
I know, obviously like yours, you didn't have a hometowns
on Bachelor TV, But like what about you and Serena,
Like was that a concern or like were you nervous
because you're tough?
Speaker 3 (16:36):
For you you got engaged on the beach, which is.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Like, yeah, yeah, that was It was a tough situation
because like her parents didn't love obviously they and rightfully
so they didn't love the idea of her daughter getting
engaged to someone that they never met. And that was
that was that was initially a tough hurdle and I
(16:58):
kind of I knew that going in, like I knew
like I understood where they were coming from I wasn't
you know, I wasn't gonna be like, well, too bad,
Like I get it, like it's it's a it's kind
of a fucked up situation. But I'm I'm similar to Charity,
where like parents, they eventually they eventually, you know, they
break down. They love me too, So it worked out.
(17:20):
How's your grandmother?
Speaker 5 (17:22):
Oh she's great. I just saw her two days ago.
She was the last person I saw before I flew
back to New York. She's awesome. Yeah, she's doing good,
looking the same as when y'all saw her on TV thriving.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Yeah, really good. Yeah you remember her. She she a
memorable person.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Yeah, that's who everyone remembers.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
Two seconds, two seconds of screen time and like more memorable.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
That the best bar in history. Bonding period she said,
you said we're bonded.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
In heaven and in YopE. But yeah, period.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
And I know that, I know that's a native tone.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Thank you. Yeah, so, Jeremy, I I when I watched
I remember watching you on the show and watching Hometowns
and you and you. I'm a little shocked to hear
that you were like, oh, I thought like she was
gonna choose me because I kind of I was like,
you seem pretty realistic, and I just didn't think. I
just didn't think you guys were there yet. Were you
(18:24):
heart broken? Were you heartbroken when you left?
Speaker 2 (18:26):
What's the other hometowns?
Speaker 3 (18:28):
What'd you say? Charity? All right?
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Who was the I'm trusting? I think who the other
to the.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Final four were me, Devin, Marcus, and Jonathan?
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Yeah, what was I heartbroken?
Speaker 4 (18:40):
I'm not gonna say I was heart broken. I was
definitely a little sad. Yeah, yeah, I definitely understand, Like
if you're watching that without going through like the experience,
you'd be like, oh, yeah that, Jeremy's definitely going obviously
got that I'm going home as h and I knew
you were going home. Yeah, I'm sure you did. No,
(19:00):
Like as a cast member, you don't know how the
other interactions are, so you can only judge it based
on yourself, and that was a pretty tunnel vision with it.
So I actually did not think I was going on.
So I came back I was like, Okay.
Speaker 6 (19:15):
Yeah, Like from audience perspective, it's like what we see like,
but you're obviously living and it's completely different.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
It went better than what was shown.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Is what you're saying, yeah, it definitely went better and
what was shown. But also at the same point, I'm
not going to just cast myself up like I was not.
Me and her were not at that point yet, like
I was not in love with her at that point
and other guys that express that.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
So mhm, it all works out.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Yeah once once it was over, it was was it over?
She she's single? Did you like reach out after or
anything like that or not?
Speaker 4 (19:48):
I don't think she's single, but no, well she.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Was single for she was She was single for at
least a couple of days after.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Are you trying to you trying to get this podcast
a million views? You should?
Speaker 6 (20:03):
I think, I mean, we can give Jeremy a little
bit of credit. I think he is a little bit
of a gentleman and he would have probably waited if
he wanted to reach out to Jin. But we we
all watched the finale. It was not good timing.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
It would have never been good timing.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
I don't think so.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
All as well good timing for a dance.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Yeah, I say, I'm.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Out of conversation now.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
I have nothing else to say.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Jeremy. You you mentioned that you're not You're you don't
want to go to paradise. You're probably not going to
the paradise. There's a chance you're going to paradise. But
you've also said that you've met some of Grant's girls.
Can you tell us who you met?
Speaker 4 (20:53):
Yeah, I've met I've met Alex, I've met Beverly, I've
met Chloe.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Any like any sparks flying with anyone?
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Like, No, this this is just like friendly encounters, like
first time meeting them.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
They're all good people.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
But did you guys like say like, hey, like, are
are you going to Paradise?
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Thou Paradise conversation exchange?
Speaker 1 (21:18):
No, there, okay, So stepping away from the show for
a minute, Charity and Dotton, you're in New York? Anything
anything new upcoming? What are you doing live and life?
Speaker 6 (21:33):
It's really like, I'm sorry, we don't have much to give.
I know, like what everyone wants to hear, but we
have just we are not speaking out on that until
we have everything solidified, until we are ready to like
speak out and move forward with everything.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
I was really just like curious if you guys are
like going out to dinner this weekend. I wasn't, So
you're coming at.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
Me like I just like it's like, Okay, what's the
what's the update? And like I always feel like that's
the update.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
People are like, Okay, what's next?
Speaker 6 (22:09):
Yeah, well, yes, we will be going out to dinner.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Would you like to come?
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Joet Like, yeah, yeah I would, Actually I would. Serena's

live in New York to Saturday. Yeah, but you're in
l A right now, Jeremy.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
I'll be back Monday.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
Give me a break.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Okay, we can all do we can all go out
this weekend, coming up next on a cruise next weekend.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Serena's on a cruise without you.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Yeah, she's on a cruise. About me?
Speaker 3 (22:35):
You know what? They say.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
That I have a child, honestly, honestly, like, I'm not
worried about a guy that goes on a cruise a
single Jeremy, how about how about you? When are you
you come back to New York? What do you got
going on?
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (22:59):
I wish I had like a huge life update, but no,
I'll be back in New York in a few days
and chilling. It's cold. I'll probably be on my couch,
go to whatever events I get invited to and yeah, cool,
nothing crazy.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Wait, Charity, are you going to the woman? Tell all?
Speaker 2 (23:18):
No, right, no, I will not be there.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
But you are going to AFR.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Hell listen.
Speaker 6 (23:23):
If the universe alignes, yes, I will be present front row.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Okay, okay, how about predictions for Grant season? Who do
you think's going to end up with? Who's going to
get their heartbroken?
Speaker 6 (23:37):
Okay, so right now, after hometowns, I think top two
would easily be Letia and Juliana. I just I had
my thoughts in your amazing, incredible girl, but I just
don't see it with her and Grant.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
I am wanting.
Speaker 6 (23:57):
More from Juliana and Grant's relationship, and right now I
think Letia is.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
His strongest his strongest relationship.
Speaker 6 (24:05):
So I am very excited to see this all unfold. Yeah,
it seems like things will get a little dicey. So
I would love to be at AFR.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Do I like that?
Speaker 4 (24:20):
I agree with you? Yeah, I agree with Charity. I
think that's the final two. I mean, I'd be shocked
if it wasn't. I loved Letia's hometown with Grant. I
think they have something special. I loved her a little
conversation with her grandpa and then her mom after. She
seems like a super quality girl. But I love to
(24:43):
be at AFR.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Two guys, Donna gives like some realistic answer.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Come on, no, I'm gonna pick it back off with you, Elsea.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
Really, I mean yeah, I was surprised, like I was
fully expecting actually a pretty bad hometown because of the
little Mormon things. But I forgot that Mormons are like
the nicest people on her, so of course it went
well and they're like super sweet, and yeah, she had
a really really sweet home town, Dina. I feel bad
for her. I feel so bad, No, truly, like so sad.
She was strong, she was a little ice queen.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
So I don't know.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
I don't know if they were endgame. Anyways, I'm trying
to think who else? Who are the last two?
Speaker 3 (25:22):
Again? There's a Julian.
Speaker 5 (25:25):
Yeah, I think Zoe was a potential I see, I
actually see, like I don't know, based on the little
I know, like some similarities between him and Zoe, and
I think there's a lot of potential that but he
hasn't taken our one on one yet, so it's not
it's kind of untapped. But out of all the four,
I feel like that's the one that he should definitely
explore the most and that there's potential otherwise. Yeah, it's Lydia,
(25:48):
so I see Lydia and Zoey. Yeah, oh sorry, Lydia.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
That is true. That is true, though I forget like
Mormons are like the nicest. I would have left that
house be like, I'm not Mormon, but like you guys
are so happy, I'm gonna be more. You're doing something
right because this looks great.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Yeah. Yeah, a beautiful family house.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
You know, everyone's smiling, like they're smiling the full time,
like this is this is fantastic. Yeah, okay, one more.
If there if there was going to be a Bachelorette season,
who would you have liked to see as the lead
from this season?
Speaker 4 (26:27):
I think it depends on who wins or not, Like.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
I well, let's let's just let's just figure yeah, let's
just figure grand picks no one, right, Like, who out
of everyone would you like to see be the lead?
Speaker 4 (26:41):
I could see it being Latia.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Yeah, yeah, I agree, I would say not Letia. Actually
I would say, I mean, who do I want? Who
I want?
Speaker 5 (26:52):
I guess would be Alex. I don't know if she
seems to seems smart cool, normal. Yeah, I mean yeah,
I think Carolina would make for interesting TV. You know,
if you're looking for that.
Speaker 6 (27:02):
I feel like, and you said it, Alex is normal,
but like her one liners this season delivered, and I
feel like that's a side that probably didn't have to
come out as much, or probably she wouldn't want to
want to come out as much with like the girls,
but like on a season of your own, it would
inevitably come out.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
And I feel like she would have a gray season.
Speaker 6 (27:22):
And also I would pick Letia if she yes, of course,
miss miss build a bear Workshop.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Chill.
Speaker 6 (27:32):
She kept her demeanor, but she also she let it
be known, and like I respect that, let it be known.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Okay, right, I see her in you. I see that.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
I think I think Alex would have had a messy
season too, because I think a lot of guys, a
lot of guys would have fell hard for her, and
it would have caused a lot of commotion.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
In the house exactly.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
That's what we need. That's what we need, but we're
gonna need. Uh, we just got to see now if
Jeremy goes to Paradise, you guys, thank you, thank you
so much for taking the time. Charity You've been a
