Speaker 1 (00:10):
All right, welcome to Love in Sight. Uh it is
our Barnett Special and we're gonna have a few of
these because Barnett's got a lot to say. There's a
matter of fact, and uh, we're gonna go by Barnett
Matt money Smith. Here a big thanks to g who,
of course was for who was with us for a
number of episodes, but for the next few Barnett is
going to be our guide to to all things love
is blind on Love Insight. So Barnett, I'm gonna start

(00:33):
with what I think is an obvious question, why why
did you opt to go with Barnett versus Matt when
you were meeting your potential future wife? Well, really, I
just wanted to like seem pretty cool and and go
my mom. No, no, there was another Matt on the show,
Uh Matt Thomas, and uh, I guess they came to
the game to both of us before the show and said,

(00:54):
to either of you have a nickname. And I was
the first one to respond because I went by Barnett
and the baseball because that's that's just what they called me.
So at baseball, friends knew me as Barnett, So I
was like, oh, I go by Barnett sometimes, but I've
never I've never gone on a day in mid length
hime on Barnett now, I think. I think the follow
up is, does Amber still call you Barnett or is

(01:15):
she now settled into calling you Matt? Um she calls
me daddy a lot? No, uh, um No, she just
she called me Barnett every once in a while, Like
I think one of the first times, like she hung
out with my my good friends that actually do call
me Barnett. Um. Uh, she called me Barnett and they're
like that's our girl, Like yeah, They're like really excited
because she called me Barnett was before the show even

(01:37):
came out, So it's like, yeah, and I would assume, uh,
like all the Love is Blind cast people, is that
your name to them? Or or did they call you
Matt a lot? M I think I go, I don't know,
like I don't pay attention that much, like because I
respond to Matt or Barnett pretty much the same. So
I think when I hang out, like when we were
in l A for the Ellen Show, I think Cameron

(02:00):
called me Matt. I'm pretty sure they did all call
me Matt. I'm not. Yeah, I've never really noticed or
paid attention to it that much. It's just funny because
you know, for people that that watched the show, there's
just a scant mention of the name Matt. I mean,
I just assumed your name was Barnett, and we didn't
kind of figure that out until way late. And I
think one of the first dates I went on with Amber,

(02:21):
I was explaining to her that, like, my really close
friends call me Barnett, but like, my name is Matt,
and then like from then on, I was Barnett. And
then I think when she introduced me to her her mom,
she's called me Matt, and people are like, whoa, what,
who's Matt? Exactly? Yeah, I think that's what you snuck
it in at the start, and then we kind of
forgot about it because everybody, and I think especially because

(02:43):
you were kind of you know, we'll get to that
a little bit later, the center of the most interesting
love triangle while I'm in the Pods, and then obviously
the most interesting sort of conflict outside of the Pods. Um,
how did you get on the show? You know? When
she was on with us, she explained that they just
kind of reached out through her Instagram profile, so how
did they track you down? That's the exact same thing,

(03:04):
I think in indirectly, Like my my Instagram was private,
so I didn't know like how they could even know
like who I was, or what I look like or
anything like that because I didn't I haven't had a
picture of me as like a like a like when
I was like four or five, like doing like some
like Spider Man post or something, as my profile was private,
So I assumed that they found me through Tender, and

(03:25):
my Tender was connected to my Instagram, so they somehow
connect the dots. I wasn't actually active on Tender at
the time, but it was still I wasn't act Yeah
you weren't. You weren't active. Somebody reaches out to you,
and I might have gotten like drunk a few times
and did like a bunch of swipe rights and then
you've forgotten about it. But you know, you know, there

(03:46):
there there's certain I think, you know, we've we've seen
so many reality shows that we kind of come to
build a profile of the type of person that would
go on, you know, one of these shows, and it
just doesn't seem like you really fit. Um, would you
agree with that? Kid? You ever thought that you would
find yourself on a dating show. So I had applied
for the Bachelor a long time ago, like I think

(04:08):
I was twenty three or twenty four, and I just
like I had a friend that was like, oh, you
should do it would be funny. And then they reached
out to me, and like they reached out to me
as suit like I had started dating and my ex
girlfriend before, like a long time ago, and uh and
and like they reached out to me like a week
after we started like actually being official like going steady
or whatever. I was like, I can't do that. So

(04:32):
well you could have, you just didn't want to. Well,
I don't want to be that guy, you know, the
guy and was on the Bachelor. So right, so this
is something that that the seed had been planted. Um,
did you jump at it? Did you resist it at all? Like?
How how long did that whole process take from when
they reached out to you too, when you found yourself
on the show. I think they reached out to me. Um,

(04:54):
I want to say like before summer, so like maybe
May or April, and then I didn't actually find out
I was going to be on the show until probably
like two to three weeks before the ship before we
started filming, so and then I think it was still
up in the air. It was like the week before
it was like maybe you don't because they weren't very responsible.

(05:16):
So I was like, like, do I need to prepare
to be on this show or not? Did you bounce
it off anyone in particular? We see, you know kind
of later in Love is Blind that you're close with
your family, um, but in terms of like your peer
group was, did you need to be kind of coerced
to do it or were you in from the go
when they reached out, I think I was pretty much in.
I was like I was in a weird point in

(05:38):
my life where I was like, let's do something crazy
like mix it up, you know, like I was. I
was kind of like I felt like I was in
a rut and I was like I need to do something,
you know out there. I need to get out of
my comfort zone and do something crazy. So and in
terms of work, you know, we it's so like they
were very I guess just sort of Eric Bland and

(06:00):
yeah generic with with the titles, we just see engineer
and I think for most people we we envisioned you,
you know, working on equations, doing a lot of math
and and and pound out, you know, mechanical engineer or
is it a civil engineer? So what what is it
that you did for working? Was it hard to get
away from that to to end up doing this for
a while? So engineer, I I was in Uh, I

(06:21):
still I am, but I was in project management for construction,
and so I had an engineering degree. I have an
engineering degree in environmental engineering. And uh, when I decided,
when I decided to go on the show, like, I
let them know, and they seemed to They seemed to
be pretty okay with it. They were like, oh, yeah,
this is this is crazy. It's once in a lifetime opportunity.
You should go do it. And then I mean I

(06:42):
took off. I think I ended up taking off three
weeks from work, and you know when I came back, like,
I took off two weeks really and then I didn't
know I was gonna be gone for another week after
that to go to Mexico or whatever. But I didn't
you know that they I got the chance to call
them and tell them I wasn't coming back to work
for an other week before I went to Mexico. So

(07:02):
there they weren't like super surprised, but when I came back,
it was like, oh, where were you right? And then
you had to fill them in on the details. I
got married, I went to Mexico, all of these sorts
of things. I hadn't gotten married yet when I went
back before I was I was I had to be
very hush hushed. When I was at work, I was like,
I can't really tell you what's going on, but you know,
I was gone for an extra week. If that gives
you any clue, what you know? Right? So, no big

(07:25):
deal there. You have a dog that you seem very
close with. What about leaving your dog for for three weeks?
And how did that all work out? I left my
dog with my parents, and uh, I have two other
dogs that live with my parents right now, and and
they all got to bond and and there for three weeks,
and she had she had a blast. He had, you know,

(07:45):
a huge backyard and areas to play with. And my
mom loves my dogs. She was like, she was like
making her like ice bass and stuff for her to
go sit out because hot outside. And you know, so
that part was easy. Um, so let's let's take the
next step. Your first impression, like, did you see your
where you're you're where you were living, did you meet

(08:06):
some of the other guys that were gonna be on
the show, like walk us through those first Let's just
say like two hours of Now I'm assessing this situation.
So I think we showed up and we were in
a like where we showed up at a hotel, like
we I think the uber to a hotel. They all
paid for us to uber to the hotel and they
showed up and uh um. We all sat in the

(08:30):
room and it was like I started like eyeing all
the dude and I was like I started getting nervous
because they're all like super handsome guys, and like like
I saw Damien and he's like this big, buff dude.
He's wearing like army clothes. I'm like, this guy is
like a military guy, because he was he looked he
had like a military duffle bag and he looked like
he was a military guy. And I was like this guy, no,
he's not. But all these guys and they all are

(08:52):
like super handsome guys, and I was like, oh, I'm
not gonna compare to any of these guys. And so yeah,
when that that that first that first day, I was
really nervous for sure, and then yeah, I was so nervous.
And then I want to say, like the first day,
like the first night, like the first day actually at

(09:13):
the facility, we like we started drinking a little bit heavier,
and then like after hours, like I started I was like, okay,
let's party. Like I was like ready to party. I
was like, I want to play beer pong. And then
we started playing, and then the producers like, no, no, no, no,
you can't do this. You're going you have a long
two weeks. It sounds like, oh geez, okay, So the

(09:34):
old lubricant of conversation helps you out, Yes, a lot
of lubricant. We um. We we talked to uh to
Rory and and that was very interesting. It seemed like
he was I don't want to say, like the alpha,
but he seemed like a very important person in in
the in the male sort of dormitory, however you want

(09:54):
to describe it. Um that then everybody sort of went
to him to I don't know, discussed kind of how
they were feeling and what was going on. Is that
act it it is accurate. We tried to we tried
to bounce everything off of everybody. But he was the
most I want to stay emotionally mature or I don't,
I don't understand. I don't know exactly what the right
word is. But he was definitely like the best at

(10:15):
bringing out what you really wanted, Like he was like
really good at talking you through things and and yeah,
so he was definitely the guy you wanted to go to,
and he was definitely there for me a lot um there,
like every day we had a long conversation about everything
that was going on. So was um, you know, I
think just naturally you mentioned you played baseball. Um, you know,

(10:36):
there's always an alpha. Doesn't matter what you do, whether
it's work, whether it's sports, you know, there seems to
be one person that tends to ascend to that alpha spot.
Did that happen in the room, because it seemed it
seemed like it was you, Um, And I don't know
if that's because you found yourself in in a conflict
and you seem to handle it better than than anybody else.
But but would that be accurate? Do you feel like

(10:57):
you were the alpha or was there one alpha? I
wouldn't consider myself the alpha. I kinda I kind of
kept myself a lot um. I think they were. They
probably have some film film real of me just like
sitting around like doing like the thinking man, because I
was like in my head like constantly. So I was
I was sitting in a corner doing my own thing,
and then like everybody was talking about everything going on

(11:19):
and like discussing stuff, and I was like, I don't
want to discuss this with you guys. I don't want
to just keep to myself. And then like yeah, So
so I didn't feel like the alpha. Maybe there were
a couple of people that were a lot more um vocal.
So like me'd be hanging out in the uh in
the in the in the whatever lounge area, whatever you
wanna call it, the kitchen or the living area, and uh,

(11:41):
there'd be somebody that would just like, hey, hey, hey guys,
let's have let's have a conversation and then like have
give this like long like toastmaster's speech about some like
the situation that we're in and how crazy it is
and stuff like that. And I was like, I'm not
that guy. I'm not the guy that's stand up the
middle of the room and give a giant speech. I'm

(12:02):
not that guy. So that's that's the alphae in my opinion,
that person that's put themselves out there. I'm like, it's
not me. Did you get along with everybody? Was there anyone?
You know? And it's up to you if you want
to name them by name, just people that, like you said,

(12:22):
maybe we're too overbearing or forthcoming that just kind of
annoyed you a little bit. I would assume that's the
case if your sequester with these guys as long as
you were so, I mean, honestly, like initial reactions to everyone,
like there are people that that came off like this,
they're not genuine initially to me. And then once we

(12:43):
started going so that my my my thoughts about these
people changed completely. Like I don't want to be like,
I'm not trying to call anybody out, but but but
Damien and Taylor both were very like vocal people, and
I was like, I felt like they were doing that
just to put on shows for the camera. And I
was like until until I saw them later on down

(13:04):
the road, like going through all the emotional stuff that
they were going on, I was like, I mean, they're
here for the real thing. They're it just it just
like initially didn't feel like that. I feel like they
were there to you know, play to the cameras and
I was like, okay, then I didn't. They came off
poorly to me initially, but I mean I've grown a
lot more with those guys for sure. So it's and
Taylor's completely different opinion of them than I did the

(13:24):
first two or three days. And I have to say it,
and I know every time I did, you would would laugh.
But Taylor the virgin, right, that's because we didn't get
we didn't get see him. No, no, and that's right,
that's Taylor. It is unfair. But hey, like you said,
if you're gonna you're gonna flap your gums and you're
gonna get some camera time, then it's up to them

(13:44):
to edit it however they want. And man, it really
got him. Huh. You don't think about that when you're
making a joke, and he got stuck with it. We
saw him on camera for maybe three to five minutes
total in the entire series, and that's the only takeaway
we have. I'm a vision and then hey, need more one.
But the only thing I think exactly So you mentioned

(14:05):
that it surprised you that well, I shouldn't say it
surprised you, but you mentioned that like emotionally you saw
that these guys were in fact there for the right reasons,
if that's how we want to describe it. What did
you think when they explained the premise of the show,
because you didn't know that that's kind of what you
were getting yourself into, right, I kind of had like
I knew from going in that I wouldn't be able

(14:26):
to communicate, like I wouldn't be able to see the girls,
Like I just didn't know how Like I thought they
were gonna like put like bags over ahead and let
us talk. I didn't have any clue out I was
gonna work. But I mean I think we knew from
the beginning, like what the name of the show was,
Like it was Love is Blind so or yeah, I
think that's what they called. It was something along those lines.
But you knew like you weren't gonna get to see
the other person. So and if anything, anything surprised you,

(14:49):
like that first that first day and like anything that
would leads you to say, crap, what did I get
myself into? Uh? No? Um, I mean the like how intricate,
like the cameras in the in the in the facility
was all set up like I wasn't expecting that. I
didn't really know what to expect going into it, so

(15:11):
so fucking part for me. So how quickly, um, you
arrive you guys, you know you, you get you, you
kind of loosen up, everybody starts talking, and then I
assumed the next day, is that what it is? You
have a night together with just the guys and then
you kind of get into the pods or like what
do you remember what? Because it seems like time is
very hard to figure out in the facility. Oh my gosh. Yeah,

(15:32):
I mean like being there nine days or ten days,
it felt like like months or at least a month
of just like being emotionally vulnerable. So it was kind
of exhausting experience for sure. But well, I don't even
remember the first night. Uh, I think, yeah, I think

(15:53):
we were all just I don't think we even really
did much the first night. But the first actual day,
like going on dates was was I think we're all
getting pretty lubricated pretty early. So let's let's go to
that the first Let's start then night. So now we're
we're through that, we're into the pods. Uh, you certainly,
and I assume you watched the show back. Uh, you

(16:14):
look more comfortable than anybody in the pods. Was that
you maybe putting something out there or did you feel comfortable, like,
like did you enjoy that? It seemed like you really
kind of enjoyed that process. Well, I don't know. I've
I've always been okay like talking on the phone and
stuff like not face to face stuff, so it kind
of kind of fit where I was comfortable. Yeah, I

(16:34):
mean I was a little nervous right off the bat,
like I think my first couple of days were kind
of like I didn't know what I was doing yet,
and then kind of and then kind of like I
kind of started feeling more comfortable. Maybe it was a
little alcohol, I don't know, but the pods were set
up in a way that were you're very calm, Like
it was very calming, so like the blue lights and
then the shag carpet and the couch was soft, like

(16:57):
everything in there was soft, and like, yeah, you could
like if you wanted to, you can fall asleep pretty easily.
It's a very comforting thing. And then you look up
and you see a camera fleg right, So when you say, um,
you know, you've always been comfortable talking on the phone.
I think it kind of speaks to social media as well.
But that you say things or you're writing things that
you wouldn't if you were in a face to face situation.

(17:19):
Do you think that helped you that, like you you
said things in there that you would have never maybe
said if this was set up differently and you would
have met these people face to face. Yeah, I mean,
I don't know. I think it took away a lot
of the nerves of like seeing someone's reactions to the
things you say or how you talk to them, or
like or like just seeing you in general. So, like,
you know, I whenever I am like hanging out with people,

(17:41):
I kind of try to focus on their like facial
expressions and stuff like that when I'm talking to them,
so I know, like how they're feeling my vibe basically.
So it's kind of it's it's much different like when
you're when you kind of just kind of have to
hope that they like what you're saying and who you are,
who you present yourself. That you had a you had
a very distinct approach um and it seemed like some

(18:03):
people really enjoyed it. And gravitated to it. Is it
fair to say that others didn't that others didn't quite
get it? You seem to have a sense of humor,
you know, you were comfortable kind of cracking jokes a
little bit, and maybe other people were a little too
serious about this. Is that you know, it's hard for
us to tell because there's hours and hours of this.
Did you feel like anyone was just like, no, I
do not like this guy. I think there were a

(18:23):
couple of people I might have pushed a button or two.
I think Diamond obviously you saw that one, and I
was just joking around, but you know, still like people,
you don't joke around somebody's you know, name and stuff
like that like that. I guess, but I don't know honestly,
Like I felt like I did. I had a good
conversation from everybody initially, and uh, I think, I don't know.

(18:48):
It's kind of hard. It's kind of hard to to
to go back and think about all the conversations that
I had. But I mean, the first day I felt
like I was really it was really tough because I
was like, everyone sounds pretty cool, Like, you know, had
seven minutes to go on a date. I've never been
one to go on like one day and be like
I'm never talking to that person again. Like I've always
been like, Okay, I'm gonna go in a couple of

(19:09):
dates and kind of see how they are after like
a few days, because the first date it's never a
good indicator of who a person is because there's a
lot of nerves and a lot of things like that
going on, and then they're trying to present a certain
wet themselves a certain way, and you kind of you
have to get past that first date or first couple
of days before you kind of figure out who they are.
So g G told us that you were like a

(19:31):
number one way up top for her after the first date.
Do you remember your your initial kind of meeting with
with g I do, because she was mine. I think
she wasn't my number one the first day. Um, I
don't know, she was. She was one of my top
like the first in the first couple of days for sure,
and she kept being the top initially because she was

(19:52):
very like fiery and feisty and like I'm drawing towards
fiery fightsty women, so so can't tell. So so she
was she was very, very Uh. Yeah, she's very high
on my list. I think I think she was number
like when when I broke it down. I think she
was like the four, like when I was still dating

(20:14):
for people. She was in that for so up until
I think like three or four days before the last day.
So I think of of all the you know, we
we talked quite a few of the girls, you know
up to this point, and they all had one guy
that they did not like. Uh and his his name
is Jim. Does that sound right. It's John, It's John, Yeah. John.

(20:37):
I I never had a problem with John. I only
I mean he was only there for a couple of days.
He didn't like. He didn't like I think like three
or four days, and they sent people home that weren't
connecting with anybody, and uh, he was there. Uh yeah,
I've never had a problem with him. But then, you know,
going in the you know, some days, people would talk
about their previous dates and you'd hear like stuff about
what he said and how he was acting, and it

(20:59):
was like, maybe he's a different guy, like not around
guys like I mean, he was very personal like you.
I think we had multiple conversations about like his work
and stuff and he's he's a nice guy overall, but
you know, I guess when it comes to talk to women,
he's kind of can push the wrong buttons when when
you get out of the dates. UM. You know, the

(21:21):
girl said that they seemed to be kind of open
about who they liked, um and and shared that with
one another. How did you feel about it, Like, did
you want to share with the other guys who you
were into or did they feel like they wanted to
share with you? Um. A lot of the guys were like,
we didn't want to share who because we didn't know
who were dating, so we didn't want to be like, oh,

(21:41):
we really like this person and then this other like
start some conflict because I like this person too. And
I think there was a point where we started realizing
who we were dating and who we were into that
it kind of got a little bit more tense. I think, Uh,
I think I tried my I don't know, maybe the
first couple of days I kind of tried to hide
who I was talking to and who I liked because

(22:03):
I didn't want I kind of I don't know, I
didn't want composition. I guess I don't want to compete
with somebody else for another girl, and because I like,
in my mind, if I'm if I'm competing with somebody,
I'm like, I really don't want to like you you
can have them, because I don't. I don't know I
did that way, but that's the way I indially thought
about it, like I don't want to compete with any

(22:24):
of these guys. Because also I didn't think I was
as good as any of those guys there, because I
was like, they all were very interesting and all had
like great careers and and like so personal, like had
all these cool talents, and you know, I didn't feel
I felt like I was kind of the outcast there initially,
but it did seem like of of all um the
and just obviously again it's the way that that we

(22:45):
is is you know, the people that consume the show interpreted.
But it seemed like Cam and and and Lauren really
connected fast um and and that is that accurate? Or
and do you remember kind of being like, all right, well,
well Cameron's with Lauren and that's that's that. Nobody's mess
that thing up. I think I only dated Lauren once
or twice. Uh, I don't really remember our dates, but

(23:07):
I think there were a couple of people that were
after Lauren Um initially and then I think Cameron. Cameron
was always emotional when he came back from dating Lauren,
and you kind of knew because who he was dating
by how he came back and how he was acting afterwards,
because you know, he was one of the ones that
had talked about who he liked very often. So I
think I think it was he was dating Lauren and

(23:30):
I don't know who else, but he had two girls
that he was about for a little while, and he
eventually turned into strictly Lauren. So once that happened, he
was like, I know who I'm Marrian, and okay, go
for it. She's yours, will stay away, alright, So we

(23:55):
have Cameron, Lauren, anybody else? Like what was? It seemed
like g made it sound like she and day Amy
and kind of connected pre early, Like what what was
And did you feel threatened? I shouldn't say threatened, but
like were you Like, man, these these people are connected
and I'm not. Is there something maybe not happening for
me here? Oh? Man? Uh, it's hard to say when. Okay,

(24:16):
So Cameron and Lauren, I mean Cameron was like dead
set on her, so it was kind of like clear,
you know, she was you know that was that was
a thing. I didn't know if they were going to
get engaged, but you know, I knew that they were.
I think, um, Damian G. So me and G had
dated what up to probably like my my last four

(24:39):
girls that I was dating, and uh, I I don't know.
Damian didn't seem like he'd be able to handle her. Initially,
she seemed like a lot and I mean, I love
you to death, but she was she We had a conversation,
I think are one of our last conversations where we
were talking about, um, how we were like in real

(25:00):
relationship and how we both kind of we're I think
she was trying to get me to open up more emotionally,
and then like, I like the fact that she was
trying to control the conversation so much. I was like,
you seem very controlling. And then she was like, yeah,
I tend to be controlling a relationship and I was like, yeah,
I do too, And then like that was kind of
where we we broke apart, is like we both couldn't

(25:22):
be the dominant controlling person in a relationship, and uh
that's I think that's pretty evident from watching the show
back that she was very controlling of that relationship. But
so I think I was kind of surprised because I
only got to see Damian outside of the pods, so
I never knew how he was in the pods, So

(25:43):
I didn't really I kind of was surprised that they
were even a thing, honestly, clearly, Yeah, But but I
mean even Amber she told me that she had really
good dates with Damien, and I was like, he seemed
kind of too much for me, So I didn't I
didn't understand how that could have been a thing. But
then again, you know, it is. It is what it
is now, So but yeah, there was nobody else that

(26:05):
really seemed Cameron was the most emotional guy, like in
love the emotional guy, and then everybody there are a
lot of guys that were emotional, but it was just
like they didn't know what they were wanting to do
more than anything, and they didn't really know how to
handle the situation. I think, So it's kind of I
didn't really I didn't see anybody else that was that

(26:26):
like connected as them. I guess so so before because
you mentioned she was in your your last four and
we now know that it was a very interesting last
three and I think that one is is an entire
episode for us, So we're gonna We're gonna do that
in the next episode next week with you. But before
I wrapped this, i'd love to you know, I'm trying

(26:47):
to figure out, and I think a lot of people
that watched the show trying to figure out was there
like a sprint mentality, like if I don't get really serious,
then someone else is gonna get in here. And do
you feel like maybe some of the guys rushed things
a little bit just out of fear that that maybe
someone else was gonna propose before they did, and then
they were going to be shut out and this thing

(27:09):
was going to move on without him. I don't. I
don't think there was like a rush mentality. I don't
think everybody anybody was trying to rush to get engaged
to prevent anybody else from getting engaged to their person.
But I do think there was a little bit of competition,
and there was like, you know, I know, we didn't
really talk about Taylor, or we talked about Taylor a

(27:29):
little bit, but he wasn't really showed on the show.
But I know him and Mark, we're all like all
about Jessica. So like at one point, like when they like,
I think they both I don't know if I don't
know if Taylor proposed her, but I know that they
had a conversation, uh, at the same time that that
like the same day as as Jessica and Mark, So

(27:50):
I don't know if. Yeah, I think they're both trying
to just compete for Jessica's heart. So was it uncomfortable
at all in the in the facility and were there
ever or can you think of like maybe one specific
like really uncomfortable moment then maybe even you had to
just kind of refuse yourself when you're like all right,
I'm out of here, I don't want to deal with this.
I think there was like when when me and Mark

(28:13):
both were found out that like we had any interest
in Jessica at any point. I think like there was
a moment of tense tenseness between us because we were
also roommates at the place. Okay, so so there's a
little bit moment of tenseness and then kind of we
got past that. I think you got pasted it pretty quick,
but there was like a little inns winty bit of
just like we didn't know how to handle the situation

(28:34):
because we're both going for the same person. And I
also Taylor was involved in that, but it wasn't as
h I don't know, he wasn't as I wasn't as
worried about him as much. I guess, you know, he
said he's a virgin. I mean, why would you be
worried about him. I don't know. All right, that's a

(28:55):
perfect place. Well, we'll wrap it there and then it's terrible,
but it's hilarious. I just absolutely love the That's the
way that whole thing played out. Uh, we'll wrap this
there and then uh, we'll get back with you know,
moving forward with with l c Amber Jessica, because that
certainly was a major plot point through about an episode
and a half to three episodes. Uh, and we'll pick

(29:15):
