Hello, Welcome to another episode.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
Of We Except that of My name is Ardo Marine,
coming to you from my bougie garage in Los Angeles, California.
Before we get started, i'll talk later on the podc
I'm gonna talk when we do reviews about my sweet meaw. So,
I just wanted to think my sweet meow passed away
suddenly after the podcast last Tuesday, and so I'll talk

(01:00):
about that later. Katie, you saw her life. She was fine.
I was so sad that I might cry.

Speaker 5 (01:05):
You so sad because I said hi to her and
I pet her and like we touched noses.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
But I wish I had like kindled her. I know
I was gone the night second to last night before
and uh, like I went out of town for one night,
so I wasn't home the second to last night. I
mean somebody was here. But like, but I mean, she
knew how much you loved her. You know, I still
feel I still have uh the one thing that I mean,

(01:33):
I was thankful and I'll talk about it later, but like,
because it was so fast, it was so clear that
something was wrong. Yeah, but like and she wasn't sick
or anything.

Speaker 4 (01:41):
No, I saw her hours before.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
She was fine, and uh, the so I was thankful
that I was there and it was able to it's
like ten o'clock at night. I was able to get
her to the emergency room immediately. But like, I mean,
it was awful, But I still had like guilt over
Mittence that I came home from Atlanta, And it was
because because Mitten's was my mom's kitty and nobody would

(02:04):
take Mitten. So I'd had two months alone filming with
and I was with Mittens who kind of imprinted on me.
And so I thought meow because I was married at
the time, there's two other cats, and she didn't have
a path. I thought she was going to be psyched
to have like a friend. But because she was sort
of my cat. I think she never quite got over
me bringing Minton's home.

Speaker 5 (02:25):
Yeah, but I don't think she was like upset with
you about that. She was just more like, who's this bitch?

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Yeah, that's I always feeling. I hope she knew that.
It wasn't that she wasn't like a good enough kid.

Speaker 5 (02:33):
I don't ever think she felt like that or she
was like, you got Mittens like to replace her.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
I would explain it to her all the time, and
I understand us, and I explained it to her after
she passed. It was like, I wasn't trying to replace you.
Was like she was sort of my sister and we
lost our mom and nobody would take Mittens. So but
it was horrible. But I have to say the love
I got from except this rose listeners who've been on
the Journey the pet compan.

Speaker 5 (03:00):
After Stout died, I got so many amazing messages and
comments from our listeners.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
And by the way, this is not always. This is
not always the case with humans. Can I just say
the amount of humanity on this podcast is giant? So
there we go also with us today, so we'll get
to that later. And I just wanted to take everybody
and it was shocking, and it was the day of
the podcast. And so it's been a week. So shout
out me out in the sky and uh and when

(03:26):
I get her ashes and put her on the lemon
tree with my mom and so yeah, right, I'm put
it on the lemon tree with my w But here we go.
You look afraid your puppy. I know so hard losing pets.
It is so hard. I love them so much. Well,

(03:49):
she slept in their beds and mittens keeps sleeping on me.
I was toys. It's horrible, and she was like, she's like,
it's brutal, but here we are. Here's the thing. Here's
the thing for me. I battened down the hatches. I've
been resting. I mean, I do what I need to
do for work, and then I just have the safest
people around me, because you don't need to do anything alone.

(04:11):
And this is the shit that puts Humpty dumpty back
together again. I allow myself to cancel anything that like
unless it's like to pay the bills or whatever. But like,
this is the kind of stuff I always feel better after.
And like the world is crazy right now. So like
couldn't be happier once again this podcast. I didn't even
realize it nine years ago that I was building my
own medicine. This puts the heart back together. So thank

Speaker 1 (12:46):

me like, are you okay? What happened? What happened? Is
everyone okay?

Speaker 1 (12:59):
Yeah, no they're not.

Speaker 6 (13:02):

I could not fathom what you had just texted me.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
I know it was so well because you saw it.

Speaker 4 (13:12):
I read it wrong.

Speaker 1 (13:12):

She was like, no, no, you don't understand, Like this was
not a cat that was she was just fully herself,
like ten like my other castle up to twenty two. Sure,
she just had a blood clot. It was so.

Speaker 5 (13:27):
Honestly, like had to reread it and I was like,
am I reading this correctly?

Speaker 4 (13:31):
Like it was fucking.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
I'll give you the two second versions, so fast forward
ten seconds if you don't want to hear this. I
fed her. She threw up, cast her up. She started
screeching like a coyote was eating her, and then her
legs started dragging behind her, and then she was dragging
her body and Mittens was like hissing, and she was
like as if she didn't recognize her, and yeah it
was And then it just evolved from there and then

(13:56):
so it was awful. She hid under the bed trying
to get away. I had to bring her in. I
was by myself freaking out. They were like, she's paralyzed.
It was awful. So that was it and then I
had to do it. It was awful, and I was
like holding her, She's trying to get off the table.
It was worse than you can imagine.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
It's horrible.

Speaker 5 (14:18):
Anyway, here I go like just honestly, like one thing
I've learned from like Scouted actually is like I just
I try not to be sad about it and n
youtwo like just think like of the good times and
it's so nice to do it that you had that
relationship and that companionship.

Speaker 3 (14:33):
I had a little ceremony up in Griffith Park.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
Yep. I'm having you and Jessica over for Romeo and
we're gonna do a little thing. When I get the ashes.
We do something here, do you haven't you guys all,
anybody with a new pet is welcome to bring their
pet ash as we could do something. You don't need
to leave them here, but we can do it. Like
some kind of you want to talk about pet pictures

Speaker 1 (15:11):
I hired my friend's daughter to paint a portrait that's
coming coming. I have a portrait on his way. Yep. Okay,
here we are, okay, and we're talking of the Bachelor.
Honestly happy to here we are. And so, by the way,
all the scandals in the news this week, there's a
lot of behind the scenes, Doctor Banana, there's a lot

(15:32):
of So they've canceled the upcoming Bachelorette season, and.

Speaker 5 (15:35):
There was this like what why or they haven't been canceled,
but it's they're not renewing it.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
So there's gonna be no Bachelorette at least this season.
Next year is a bachelotte there. So there was like
a hit piece. But they're doing Paradise and Golden and
there was like a hit piece in deadline? Was it Deadline?

Speaker 6 (15:52):
Doctor b I think so it was one of those There.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
Was like a hit piece on the new producers and
how apparently people don't like them new producers are the
old and new They were saying that. They were saying that, yeah,
it was the the crew and so like apparently they
were saying they like missed Mike flies like.

Speaker 6 (16:13):
Boy, well, I guess there there's there were a bunch
of producers saying that these two like showrunners, create like
a toxic environment and that like that hole making Jen
watch her own breakup was really cruel and everyone was
yelling at the show runners not to make her do it,
and they weren't listening. So there was like all this
toxic stuff going on behind the scenes and they just
you know didn't respect what was going on in leadership.

(16:33):
So a bunch of producers went rogue and like did
this interview?

Speaker 2 (16:37):
Wow, okay, and so who's producing this show? They were
watching now because prox number of months.

Speaker 4 (16:44):
They have a new producer coming for Paradise.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
They have a star that did Summer House, they had
they did like Meridi first Sight. They have a star
coming in, a real trash star, a trash star.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
Great.

Speaker 1 (16:58):
Basically they hired you like they hired like the Fat Producer,
Bachelor Silver Like, they hired like Doc. Don't they have
crazy critics Docter Banana.

Speaker 6 (17:06):
Yeah, it's like married at first sight. Yeah, Summer House,
Winter House. They've been around.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
They've been around and given us garbage that we love.

Speaker 6 (17:14):
Okay, they did that show, the Celebrity Siblings Show or
whatever that was.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
Oh yeah, that Claim to Fame. We love playing That's like,
we're the only people that watched that, but we watched
every season. I love Claim to Fame. By the way,
I'm the Traders and I'm a few episodes behind. I'm
obsessed with Zach Effron's brother right now. I love give
me a Claim to Fame person. Okay, here we are.
So these new producers always started off with sort of
like a fight. So Dina and Carolina, even though Dina

(17:41):
is the henchwoman, last week for Carolina, they were fighting
and so that's a preview to come because she had
her back last week. So we're in Edinburgh, Scotland. They
did the font like we were in a Wes Anderson movie. Yeah,
they made it look cool, but like but like two
thousand and.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
Five cool, yeah, and cooler than the show is.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
The show is and it felt like it was like
from like we works, like it was from the girl
Boss era.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
They were going from that to like, you know, them
playing golf together. Yes, it was a weird.

Speaker 1 (18:10):
Yeah, I feel like Jesse just has like a Roan romance.
But like doctor Banana, reason you texted me you couldn't
believe how hot Grant was playing golf.

Speaker 6 (18:19):
Yeah, there was something about golf plant or golf Grant
playing golf in Scotland that I was like, honestly, like,
have we and like also playing golf? Well, so I
was like, yes, have we ever had a more attractive bats?

Speaker 1 (18:32):
We've never had a more attractive bachelor.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
He's pretty cool, he's hot.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
He's cool. I like him. It's funny because there's other
people Jerry's not liking this season. Karen Are my friend
who wrote Legally Blonde, She's not liking this season.

Speaker 2 (18:45):

Speaker 3 (18:51):
Why?

Speaker 1 (18:51):
Why? Why are you like it?

Speaker 7 (18:53):
Why?

Speaker 3 (18:54):
Just some production choices that are happening. What Like for instance,
we're in Edinburgh Festival. My group date would have been
an improv show. Yeah, I would have made everyone do
an improv show, and then I one on one, I
would have made each of us do a twenty minute
solo set.

Speaker 1 (19:12):
You're okay, so you.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
A fringe festival up?

Speaker 1 (19:15):
Okay, that's a good point.

Speaker 3 (19:16):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
The thing was cute and going to the castle was cute.
But then but Carolina was a drip.

Speaker 3 (19:24):
Yes, what's this? Whole episode was sort of about Carolina.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
Every every episode about absolutely.

Speaker 3 (19:29):
I have to say he lost me with this episode.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
Why oh god.

Speaker 1 (19:37):
We'll get into it as we go through the Okay, okay, okay.

Speaker 3 (19:40):
But and the thing about this episode that was that
I was locked into was who's going to be on Paradise?

Speaker 1 (19:47):
Yeah, that's all that I was Carona, how Alex Alex
will be on Paradise? She got the first impression Rose okay.

Speaker 3 (19:57):
Because I felt like, well we'll get okay.

Speaker 1 (19:59):
So here we are. Okay. So Carolina tries to do
a British accent. She's like, yeah, it's Scotland.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
God, it's awful.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
Doctor Banana, what did you think of her British accent?
Her Scottish accent?

Speaker 6 (20:14):
I thought, I mean it wasn't perfect, but I was like,
better than I could do.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
It wasn't Scottish it was a Scottish.

Speaker 6 (20:22):
It was a vague sort.

Speaker 1 (20:23):
Of European Rob. What was your visceral reacts? You're you're
a Thespian. What did you think of it?

Speaker 2 (20:29):

golf Yeah, you could tell.

Speaker 3 (21:23):
As I've said many times on this podcast, he's actually funny.
He wish they.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
Would because when he does sports commentary.

Speaker 3 (21:30):
He's funny and he does good impersonations. He's got great
sports and he loves a quarter zip oh of his sweater.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
He loves a quarter Touch you. I didn't just touch
your shirt? Wait?

Speaker 2 (21:41):
How did us living his best life? Right now?

Speaker 1 (21:43):
How did you? Where do you see him be funny?

Speaker 3 (21:46):
Well, for instance, he was on the Rich in sports World.
One of the biggest shows is the Rich Eisenshow Rich
Eisen is the face of the NFL network. He's got
a huge show that all celebrities and sports stars go
on all the time. And Jesse Palmer tells a really
really funny story about when he was on The Bachelor.

(22:07):
Yeah but playing for the Giants and the other teammates
were so dumb that they didn't realize that the show
they had watched the night before had been filmed seven
months before, so they would always be like, dude, are
you going to bring her down? Like really funny stories.
And he also played for one of the meanest and

(22:30):
toughest coaches in the NFL and has a great story
about when he had to go to the coach to
ask for permission to be the Bachelor. I'm a big fan.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
I forgot that he even was a pro player.

Speaker 3 (22:44):
He was a he was a mid level quarterback. He
wasn't a star replaced him, but he was still a
quarter Absolutely, absolutely.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
I want to say final thing about not realizing it.
For Southern Charm listeners for our Patreon, I on Riah
the dating app have recently seen Shep, Yep Whitney and
Craig by Riah. Now, I did not like Craig because
I love my page. I would never go against my

(23:18):
best friend page. But I and again, I would never
actually do anything with Craig or Shep, but I always
heard them because I just I want to like. First
of all, I would never be in their age range,
which is like eighteen to nineteen, like well like well,
like I just need I just need to share a
coop with the like of like a mint jew lab.

Speaker 3 (23:40):
It's my wildest, most fondest dream for you to go
on just at least a date.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
Which can you believe I've seen that doctor Banana.

Speaker 6 (23:50):
I mean no, I mean I can believe that because
it's Rayah and those guys all they do.

Speaker 2 (23:55):
Do you see any bachelor or bachelrettes on RYA?

Speaker 1 (23:58):
Yes? I see, Okay, do you do you Remember there
was a guy named Eric who was on uh he
was maybe like five years ago. I see Eric, he
might have been on Rachel's season. I've seen like three
people from The Bachelor.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
Do you hurt them?

Speaker 1 (24:15):
No? No way.

Speaker 6 (24:16):
I saw that guy Ben from I think, oh god,
well the ventatious season. Remember the like the army guy
who was really sad?

Speaker 1 (24:26):
Was see the guy that was the one that brought
the top chef chef as his family to family.

Speaker 6 (24:31):
Yes, I.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
Saw him on.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
Right swiping.

Speaker 4 (24:38):
Yes, yes, just you and.

Speaker 3 (24:40):
Shep going bass fishing would be the greatest footage.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
He's so toxic. I can't decide who's less toxic, he
or Whitney. Like who's less.

Speaker 3 (24:51):
Toxic, Whitney's toxic?

Speaker 1 (24:53):
They're both okay? So here we go to keep going
so one on one dates. There's no roses on the dates.
So the first group, the first solo date, goes to Juliana.
She's wearing a long leather trench coat and they get
in a helicopter. I didn't love the coat. What did
you guys think of the coat?

Speaker 2 (25:11):
I didn't love the coat. I didn't love the eyebrows.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
Eyebrows are wild. The eyebrows like when you get close up.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
It's like a it's like a sharpie.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
It felt tattooed on. They felt because some people do that.
They do like a yeah, maybe that's the look.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
The kids are into these.

Speaker 1 (25:26):
I think it might be it was, but.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
On the Golden Bachelor's Store.

Speaker 1 (25:30):
For me, yeah, eyebrows are in like more full eyebrows.

Speaker 4 (25:33):
Which where was that when I was young?

Speaker 1 (25:35):
My yeah, you've got grape brows.

Speaker 5 (25:38):
Well because I have big eyebrows. But when I was
a kid, they were like, I know, they were like I.

Speaker 4 (25:42):
Never went thin though. I was like fuck it.

Speaker 3 (25:44):
But it wasn't in her shade.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
But I think she I think she micro blades, and
then I think she might tattoo.

Speaker 4 (25:50):
I think she has very thin eyebrows and probably get does.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
I think she does the tattoo and it's wild. It's
wild on each d Here's the thing as a performer
on television, I can tell you as we've all on
our iPhones, but like sometimes you were like, oh I
felt cute that day, and then you see a video
of yourself and you're like, I look like a melting
wax figure.

Speaker 6 (26:07):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
You're like and like in real life I'm like, I
can look in the mirror and be like, I look cute,
and then it's like, what the fuck with? Like these
phones are so like the cameras, what they can pick
up is so brutal. So I think perhaps in real
life it's one thing, but then up close with the HD,
the brown, yeah, maybe tattoo. Yeah, films, and again I've

(26:29):
looked wild on film or I think I've looked fine
in real life. Yeah, I'm gonna guess the camera's been
just picking up everything.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
Yeah, No, your gorgeous in real life. Look, and she's
very pretty. This is the eyebrows weren't for me?

Speaker 1 (26:43):
Yeah, me neither. It's a lot, doctor Banana. What do
you think about the eyebrows?

Speaker 6 (26:47):
I mean it was Yeah, it's a very like sort
of gen Z like. Look. I mean I don't do
that because no, I don't have the energy, but I've
seen that quite commonly.

Speaker 3 (26:58):
That's so funny because I wasn't focus on the eyebrows.
I was just focused on the helicopter. Rob Benedict, have
you ever gone on a helicopter date in your life?

Speaker 2 (27:06):
Never? Ever?

Speaker 1 (27:07):
Have you ever been on a helicopter at all in
your life?

Speaker 2 (27:09):
I am I have not.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
I've never been.

Speaker 3 (27:11):
So you've never been on a helicopter, never.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
Been on a helicolicopters, never been on a helicopter.

Speaker 3 (27:16):
Because this franchise loves the helicopter. Helicopter day.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
And then they drove really they drove by the castle
and everyone was like, is that her? Like, yeah, obviously
it's her. No ship, what do you think it is.
You're in the middle of nowhere.

Speaker 4 (27:28):
It's one.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
Arrived by happening with the don't even noticed cops, Doctor Banana.
Have you been on a helicopter?

Speaker 6 (27:46):
No, I don't think I would be nervous.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
To go on a helicopter.

Speaker 4 (27:48):
I would never go on one.

Speaker 1 (27:50):
I don't I don't like them. I would, but I
don't want to.

Speaker 4 (27:52):
I never like them. And then Kobe died in one,
and I said, I really don't like that.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
Yes, respective preach, okay, So she goes, I'm like a
literal princess today, and he goes, you are a princess
every day. Now, I'm just gonna say my big headline
for I feel like he's super horny for her. And
then I feel like she really took it home with
the addiction story.

Speaker 3 (28:16):
Oh my god, that was a kidding she might win.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
Because she doesn't he doesn't have to convert to being
a Mormon. And and but I feel like they I
feel like they didn't chat about anything. It was just
like you look hot, you look hot. Like she's a sweetheart,
she's a nice gal. But like there is no talk.
But there's just been nothing. But I think physical attraction.

(28:40):
But I feel like the when we get to it,
she got the prince, she got the Cinderella date.

Speaker 5 (28:45):
What's funny is I didn't even realize they hadn't had
a one on one because to me, their connection felt
really good.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
Yeah, I was surprised.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
That was nice. One on the picture is my number one?

Speaker 3 (28:54):
You guys?

Speaker 1 (28:54):
You did?

Speaker 2 (28:55):
I think too.

Speaker 3 (28:56):
I think yes, that the producers saw that she has
had this is happening.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
They save them, They save them, they save them.

Speaker 3 (29:03):
When Jojo saw Jordan, when my parents first met, they
were like, oh, you're the one from me, and the
producers have to be like, wait, let's do.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
You call Jojo and Jordan mom and dad?

Speaker 3 (29:13):
Mom and dad. Well, now that my real parents, Craig
and Page have broken up, I need new parents.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
Yeah, Jojo on Southern Charm Okay, yea yeah, page, yeah,
Page no. No, so the one that I saw on
Riah Craig, who I love, but I can't like him
because Page is my my icon, my queen will do
my best friend. Yeah, So I feel like the producers
social relationship with her.

Speaker 3 (29:38):
They have to steer them away because it's so clear.
And I turned to my girlfriend as we were watching
last night and I said, that is the moment he
realized you are the one with the addiction story. I
wanted him to open up a little bit more, to
be a little bit more specific about his story, which
we had heard on the first episode.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
Yes, yes, right, we've we've heard throughout this series a
little bit.

Speaker 3 (30:02):
I thought he was going to explain more.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
They might have edited out. Okay, so well, I'll take
this story is basically his dad has had I don't
know if they haven't never said specifically what the substances.
But he really struggled for thirty He just got sober.
His dad, his dad, and his mom is was a
single mom. His dad I guess worked hard, but like

(30:26):
kind of threw his mom under the bus and like
blamed a lot of stuff on his mom. But then
he realized that it is actually his mom wasn't doing it.
His mom worked hard and was a single mom and
like supported the family. But I guess she's not like
a warm, fuzzy gal. So he as he said, he
never They never had faimily dinners. He ate alone in
his room. No one ever said I love you. So
I think he's sin And this is where Karen, my

(30:47):
friend Karen, and I differ. I believe he is looking
for a wife. I know she disagrees, and she's shouting
at home listening to this right now. She doesn't think
he's here for that. I believe he his core wound
is what makes him a good back because I believe
he seems to be leaning towards the warm women who
I think he wants that family feeling with somebody. But again,

(31:09):
I could I could be. I'm always a fool on this,
so I don't know.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
I'm the same way. I mean, I've been kind of
out of it, so you guys know more than I do.
But yeah, my impression of him was pretty good after
the Yeah cool, and he seemed done.

Speaker 3 (31:23):
Some work because of what his dad has gone through.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
He's a relationship, yeah, he does, and his dad's sober
now he's trying. He's just like, you know, he's newly sober,
like it's the journey always, but like I think he's trying, and.

Speaker 3 (31:36):
There was some trauma bonding going on, yeah for sure.

Speaker 1 (31:38):
So so so then they pull up and there's they
go to this castle. It's like it's like their kind
of Bridgerton moment or whatever, or they're like Downton Abbey.
They have a royal valet butler named Killem have played.

(32:00):
There's a stylist Vixie who who like gives them clothes
and he was by the way, Grant looks hot and
everything that should be dumb when he came out in
that blue short coat and he goes, look, there's a
little person it's for it's free.

Speaker 4 (32:14):
And he looked hot and like he loved the purse
he loves.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
He is like very game and like just like when
he put the wig on with Bailey, like he's just
like a good sport. He seems very down.

Speaker 5 (32:29):
Yeah, and also he just seems confident, like not in
a he had a comfortable.

Speaker 4 (32:34):
Confident in himself like himself.

Speaker 1 (32:37):
Yeah, Anna, did you think he looked so fucking hot
in the kill and with the person of the jacket.

Speaker 6 (32:42):
Yeah, he looks good in everything. What is happening here?

Speaker 1 (32:46):
We've never had a sexy bachelor because.

Speaker 6 (32:49):
I'm like, okay, okay, I want to be there.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
Yeah, we didn't know Matt James because he wouldn't go
through it, like he was an out so like in
theory Matt James would have been, but like he was
I think because he had.

Speaker 6 (32:59):
It was kind of cold, Like I don't get the
vibes that I get from like Grant like Matt, Like
Matt was attractive, but like Grant's energy is so good
and he's bringing it.

Speaker 1 (33:11):
He's bringing it. And poor Matt had the weight of
the world. Like they brought him in right after like
like it was right after Dives Matter all our like this,
and he wasn't on the franchise, so like they brought
this poor guy in at the height of like you know,
who had never been never been on television of the
height of black lives like this poor guy. They've never

(33:33):
had a black lead for a man in the middle
of COVID, in the middle of COVID. And they're like
in pensixt our franchise, Matt, Yeah, yeah, exactly, the exactly,
And then they read to give you a child to
be the uh the uh jumping out of the plane
for that when they did when they they had this
little boy that was tied to Rachel Kirconnell. When they

(33:53):
threw out of the plane, who was her skydiving and
she was like the size of like this didn't break?

Speaker 2 (33:59):
So didn't someone tells he broke something?

Speaker 7 (34:01):
He didn't.

Speaker 6 (34:02):
They both broke his arm or something. He broke his
arm and she but she got like face planted.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
When did you find that photo? Anna? He was like
an eighth grader my favorite I had it. And remember
when I made all those coasters, I feel like he's
on one of those coasters. He was like eight years
old during the Ite of Covid to Rechelkircaddle and then

(34:27):
he broke his aren't they dragged him?

Speaker 3 (34:29):
He fell draged remember that I smoke too much pot
I do not remember.

Speaker 1 (34:36):
He was gonna texts.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
They jumped out of the plane with the you know,
with the parachute or whatever, and so her her parachute guy,
the pro was a kid. It was just a kid.
And so when they landed, he landed hard. They face plated.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
Okay, So then she comes out in her pink dress
she looked adorable and he was.

Speaker 2 (34:59):
Like god, I thank you.

Speaker 1 (35:02):
Yeah, and then he's in this sexts like thank you.
And then just like Bridgerton where they have a string
quartet doing contemporaries, they played five hundred miles. That was
Katie tell us, I love this song. I love this
Wait a minute at first.

Speaker 3 (35:24):
Let's go away.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
It was so cute and it was so ana. Did
you love it?

Speaker 6 (35:31):
And it was very Bridgerton like. It was giving her her.

Speaker 1 (35:36):
They gave her her Bridgerton moment. I got chills. That
was it they gave They do modern songs with like
the strings, and I just particularly Season one, like I
just have to say you're right, Like they chose her
to win. They gave her this Bridgerton moment. They played
that and then she came in hot afterwards in the gown,
the pretty woman gown. He gave her the pretty woman.

(35:57):
He didn't bite her hand with the necklace box like
like Richard Gear does when Julia Roberts goes to bite
it and she's like hell right before they fly to
San Francisco and he bites her hand out with the box.
So they the proclaimers, yes, ye, yes, yes. So then Scottish,

(36:18):
So then is it Scottish?

Speaker 2 (36:20):
They're Scottish, Okay, so then.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
I will say the dance hall was very brightly lit,
very brightly lit, no no mood lighting in there. It
felt like an HG TV show.

Speaker 3 (36:31):
Yeah, how much do you think those people got per
day on.

Speaker 1 (36:34):
That fifty year Yeah?

Speaker 2 (36:38):
It felt it felt very me.

Speaker 1 (36:41):
They didn't seem that Zoe, who's been a drip, she
was a pretty good sport about not getting a one
on one Katie.

Speaker 4 (36:48):
She's turned around and all the women seem to be
like much more friendly.

Speaker 7 (36:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (36:51):
I feel like she checked myself early on.

Speaker 1 (36:54):
It's like it's like, look, we all have our we
all have our quirks. And I felt like very rare
that you see somebody be such an asshole and actually
course correct.

Speaker 3 (37:03):
Yeah, well Carolina has sucked all the oxygen out of
the iron rooms.

Speaker 1 (37:08):
See irony, here's what you not, Rob, I know you
had a baby the irony of Carolina. And we'll get
to this in our next segment. She's such a bitch
about going and a brat and as my mother would say,
a fucking drip. She wouldn't say, she would say she
has such a drip about being on group dates. Meanwhile,
on her first group date, she literally gave it lap
dance to Grant in front of everyone when she won.

(37:30):
It was insane. It was absolutely horrific and unnecessary. She
could have done in private, and uh, like was so.

Speaker 6 (37:40):
On.

Speaker 1 (37:41):
She'd just inconsiderate to anybody that was there, I who
had feelings for him.

Speaker 2 (37:46):
Yeah, I mean well, I could just tell from this
group date that it's just like, oh, this is not
someone you want to be with now, Like she's cute,
but she's like, yes, they're already fighting, she's already difficult. Yeah,
and uh so that was impressed me that he made
the right move.

Speaker 1 (38:00):
At the end of the episodes, meanwhile, so Letia got it,
Zoe's crying. Christina Carolina goes, it is what it is.
It's tough, you know, and the people are like, well,
it's not the amount of time, it's the quality, Okay.
So they're fighting back in the rash pretty woman happens
and then he goes, I'm very tracted to but this
is back back with Juliana. I do want to get

(38:21):
to know you better. She's like to siy, I'm not happy,
bubby person, gring up. I may also just say I
also grew up with addictions, so so I'm allowed to
do it.

Speaker 2 (38:31):
The voice.

Speaker 1 (38:33):
Graham, somebody close to me had a problem of addiction,
and that took time away from me. I was alone
for a while. Is it terrible for me to do this?
I did not know how to cope with anger. By
the way, relate, So I relate. I relate to a
lot of this. I would come off as happy, like
I didn't know the darkness of what I saw, and
going back there, it just felt like there was a

(38:54):
lot of sadness. So I just always like had to
be the happy one. Completely relate, completely relate. I mean,
and I you know, and he said, I relate. My
father had an addiction. And then so they're like, you know,
I'm physically and emotionally attracted to you. So then he
was saying, I really relate. He starts crying adorable, and

(39:14):
he's like, I was always alone. He showed the lone
wolf tattoo. Every hit was left. I handled everything alone.
I ate in my room. My friends saved me. She's
like me too, my wolf pack. And then they're like,
you know, I feel like I could be falling in
love with you. She said it. She was on the
first ones that said it, and think that's going to
get her far. And then he's like, I could see

(39:35):
a future with you, and then the fireworks are happening
and they're kissing. By the way, he was smart because
all these new recent bachelors are like, I'm falling in
love with you too, and you're like, what are you doing?
He said, I could see a future with you. He
is being a great bachelor. Doctor Banana, you're our are
the physician of this franchise. Don't you think he played
that well? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (39:55):
I think so. He's you know, I mean he is smooth,
Like I can't but say that, like I don't want
to say smooth as in like don't trust him, but
he is good with like sort of expressing himself in
that way and like bringing you in, making you think
that you're the only one he's thinking about.

Speaker 3 (40:11):
Yeah, I feel like for.

Speaker 2 (40:12):
The Bachelor, that was a pretty real conversation.

Speaker 1 (40:15):
I agree. I agree with you because again.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
Normally I fast forward over that shit and I was
like I was in.

Speaker 1 (40:21):
But honestly, as a person who did grow up with addiction,
like it's not something that we've seen much on this
franchise watching it and like it is something that affects
you tremendously because it's not something that I'll just speak
for myself, like it's something that you keep private. You're
sort of taught not to like out out a family
member or whatever. Mine was my dad.

Speaker 3 (40:42):
Well, yeah, likewise, and usually that's like month five or
six where you sort of like bring that.

Speaker 1 (40:48):
In, but but they don't.

Speaker 3 (40:50):
Have that time.

Speaker 1 (40:52):
You don't have that, and she's she's waited till now
though this is like week seven. That's that's month five
or six.

Speaker 3 (40:57):
I don't think you would get out of the limb
and be like, Hi, I'm Juliana and it's an alcoholic.

Speaker 1 (41:02):
Yeah, she's actually done pretty well by not revealing it
till now.

Speaker 3 (41:06):
That is true. Wait, do we know if it's her
or mom?

Speaker 1 (41:09):
We don't know.

Speaker 3 (41:10):
We don't know.

Speaker 1 (41:10):
We don't know because she did we see her mom much?
Did we we saw her dad?

Speaker 4 (41:17):
Somebody else? In her face she's somebody close.

Speaker 1 (41:20):
By the way he kissed her and in the preview
her day's like did you just kiss my daughter? That
it was like Boston dad, unless it's like it's like
a mystery where he's like my daughter. He's kissed my daughter.
Job bro, Yeah, yeah, I felt like I still think

(41:43):
now my prediction is when we see him torn between
two women, I believe, and we'll get to this later after.
I believe Letia is the one that he wants to marry,
that he is the one, and then I think that
who knows what happens, but maybe perhaps she might have
to maybe she wants him to convert to being a
Mormon or something.

Speaker 3 (42:03):
I don't know way to talk about.

Speaker 1 (42:04):
This, and that maybe maybe I don't know what I know.
He said he has faith or something like that, But
I wonder if it comes down to I believe he
wants to marry Litilla, and I think that eventually he
it's I think it'll be between Litia and Juliana, is
my prediction, and that I think it would be maybe
a conversion to you.

Speaker 3 (42:25):
Perhaps can we talk about that this now or.

Speaker 1 (42:29):
Should Why don't we take a quick break and then
we'll be right back. I need a sexual time out.
And we're back. We're on the group date. They're tossing logs.
The girl.

Speaker 2 (42:49):
What is it throwing the caber? It's like, so it's
the Highland Games? Is a thing a Scottish tradition. My
girlfriend is Scottish, you know, so that's how I know
these things. But a Scottish tradition then, and.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
One of the Benedict what are you Benedict.

Speaker 2 (43:03):
Is French, but I'm mostly UK and and Northern Europe,
which there's a little wee bit of h of Jewish.
Just did we did a little bit?

Speaker 1 (43:13):
I can see that. Yeah, I see that.

Speaker 2 (43:16):
Like seven percent, but it's it feels strong and I
could see that. That's fun anyway, So uh yeah, this's this,
this this tradition, the Highland Games, and that's one of
the games within the.

Speaker 1 (43:27):
I wanted to throw that long. I didn't think i'd
get it as far as they got.

Speaker 2 (43:31):
Super hard to do what he did. What he did
actually was really impressive. I mean, you hold it up
and it's gotta you toss it you it has to.

Speaker 1 (43:38):
Dina did it and did a good job. She's not
very she's tiny.

Speaker 4 (43:42):
She really flipped it.

Speaker 2 (43:43):
Can I ask a question about Dina because I think
it matters at this point. Are they are they super tight?

Speaker 1 (43:50):
No?

Speaker 2 (43:51):
Why why did she get.

Speaker 1 (43:54):
That's a great question. Let me ask you this.

Speaker 2 (43:56):
I don't want to spoil her.

Speaker 1 (43:58):
Doctor Burnell, like, what, Katie, we've all been on this
ride together. What the fuck happened to Alex? And why Dina?
Do we think that? Do we think the butt plug
and stuff like that where he was like I want
a wife and mom.

Speaker 4 (44:10):
He's like kind of a prude, do you what do you?

Speaker 3 (44:11):
I mean?

Speaker 1 (44:11):
I don't think he is. But if he's like but
like the marrying, it's like they're a Madonna horror thing,
and it's hard to say.

Speaker 4 (44:16):
When they're in person.

Speaker 5 (44:17):
There might just be literally like a physical connection that's different,
you know, some pheromone thing.

Speaker 1 (44:23):
You never know what happened. Why did Alex fall back?

Speaker 4 (44:27):
I don't.

Speaker 6 (44:27):
I think it's the classic case of like impression, I
get distracted by other women, so you lose that connection
a little like the Carolina the Juliana.

Speaker 1 (44:37):
All Right, the first ones for the men always fall
by the way.

Speaker 2 (44:40):
Who's the one who never got one on one?

Speaker 6 (44:43):
Zoe?

Speaker 1 (44:44):
Zoe? Okay, Zoe has been a nice.

Speaker 6 (44:46):
Still got a rose. That's so crazy, I.

Speaker 1 (44:48):
Know, I feel like now we know who the final.

Speaker 2 (44:52):
Two are close with Serafina.

Speaker 1 (44:55):
No, but she was a sweetheart. They had a nice
she was a sweet peace. She'll go to Paradise and
you think she'll go to Paradise.

Speaker 2 (45:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (45:01):
Yeah, Because again this episode for me was all and
yees Carolina.

Speaker 2 (45:11):
Carolina.

Speaker 1 (45:12):
I was like, oh Paradise, Oh for sure, Zoe will
be in Paradise. If Carolina and Maria are at Paradise together,
it'll be insane.

Speaker 3 (45:19):
Yeah, because this is kipping forward. But the Carolina and
Dina conversation that happens later I felt was like, we
need to make peace before we both go to Paradise.

Speaker 2 (45:29):
I thought it was before you get voted out and
I stay. I thought there was a little bit of
that too, Okay, you know, because she was we may
never see each other.

Speaker 1 (45:36):
Carolina thought she was going to stay and not Dina.

Speaker 6 (45:40):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (45:40):
So then so Carolena is powder they're doing musical chairs,
Sarah Fina loves it. She throws that log. They're doing
musical chairs. Carolyna is pouting. She's a total drip. He
has to go check on her. She's popping great, she's
got a bow in her head. Oh my god. Uh.
I got a really funny text from Karen McCollough this morning.
M hm, that was uh okay, wait, let me read

(46:04):
it to you. This is from she wrote, as we
all know she wrote Legally Blond and the House Bunny
the eighteen eighties. Bo on Carolina's head is both the
lamest and most interesting thing in this game episode.

Speaker 3 (46:21):
Hi Karen, Hi Karen.

Speaker 1 (46:24):
I know you think he Grant wants to be married,
but I don't buy for for a second. He is
here to be on TV.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
Well could be, okay, yep, could be with every single
one of them.

Speaker 1 (46:35):
Yep yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. Okay.

Speaker 3 (46:39):
So we're in the Wounded Bird conversation, which drives me crazy.
It's the franchise wise, and she's.

Speaker 1 (46:46):
Done it every week. She's done it every week.

Speaker 3 (46:49):
Yeah, I can't stand.

Speaker 1 (46:50):
Up, Katie, Doctor Brenana, how it's sick of Caroline?

Speaker 5 (46:52):
Are you?

Speaker 1 (46:53):
Are you still glad she's fucking gone? Yes?

Speaker 6 (46:56):
I mean I found I have thoughts I have we's
hear it, Okay. I don't think Krolina was that bad.
I think like it was so much was put on
her because she's hot, Like it really was like a
femme fatale thing where like the girls were kind of
just threatened by her, but like like she was a buzzkill,

(47:17):
but like just ignore her ass, Like, I mean, you know,
like so they were so stuck on everything.

Speaker 1 (47:23):
She was like, but like, let's just go to her.
How she behaved at the game. You signed up to
be on the Bachelor?

Speaker 6 (47:29):
Yeah, then yeah, but she that, yes, I agree with that,
but she's like, it's like some people can't control their
like emotions.

Speaker 1 (47:37):
She was she grinded on him, and then she powdered
and didn't participate. She's like, I don't want to see
my body's like, well, then don't go on the Bachelor.

Speaker 3 (47:43):
I also think that during the day, whether they're in
wardrobe or they're in makeup, or they're getting ready for
a shot or whatever it is, Yeah, she might be
a pill then as well.

Speaker 1 (47:56):
I think she's just a pill.

Speaker 3 (47:57):
Yeah, exactly a pill.

Speaker 2 (48:00):
But I think the way this is what you're saying too,
the way they let.

Speaker 6 (48:03):
Her bring them down was unnecessary to me. I was like, guys, this,
this this crazy girl is not worth it.

Speaker 1 (48:10):
We can go look, we can all get we can
all get distracted when somebody sucks so hard that you
can't believe how much like they're annoying and so.

Speaker 2 (48:18):
But that particular conversation that we're on right now. It
was annoying because she just kept it going. She was like,
she was like, he's there, he's paying attention. She's like yeah,
she kept arguing him. I would have been like, all right.

Speaker 1 (48:30):
She was such a drip. She's like I did, I
think you have other connections that are more than just
like you sign up for the Bachelor, like that's what
this is. And it also feels like you're doing this
to get airtime, ye like, and you don't. She was
just such a brat. I found her to be such
a what Katie Katie's leaving for it.

Speaker 4 (48:50):
I was a brat too.

Speaker 5 (48:52):
I thought that she just wasn't like and maybe she
just wasn't explaining herself right, But like she did come
off as like, I don't know, like cocky and stuff
like yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (49:03):
I understand why the other women would not like her.

Speaker 5 (49:06):
And I thought, you know, there was a way when
she was confronted to be like, oh no, sorry, like
this is what I meant, and she didn't, and she
kind of doubled down.

Speaker 1 (49:13):
She's like, it's hard for me to be here. It's
obviously it's not me. I'm not even sure if you
want me to be here, and I was just like, well,
you're not participating, so like go home.

Speaker 6 (49:25):
I did think she should have bowed out herself.

Speaker 3 (49:27):
Like he thought she was gone. Yeah, I thought she
was gonna.

Speaker 1 (49:30):
Like he also said sometimes it's better just to let go.
I thought he was about to cut her, and then
he did it, and he's like he's like you know,
and she starts crying and she's like I am a
cloud of negativity. He's like, yeah, you are get out
of here. And then he's like, I like you, this
is real. Ever done? She sucks. He's like he's like, you.

Speaker 2 (49:50):
Know, three exes. By the way, we.

Speaker 1 (49:51):
Started off so well. And then she thinking I was
crying at dinner and he's like, he's like, can I
tell you something about me? My name is Grant something Alice,
and I'm here. I'm like, oh my god, I'm just
a boy looking at a girl. I'm like, shot, I can't.

Speaker 4 (50:04):
It's funny for him to do all that and then
cut her.

Speaker 1 (50:06):
I know, true story.

Speaker 3 (50:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (50:11):
He's like he's like, I want to trust my partner
and he's like, are you ready to move forward? And
it was just like it was just so so then
the rain came, so like, well we have to go
into the castle. The girls are pissed. They're so pissed,
like this bitch took away because they were. Actually they're
all being good sports, including Zoe. I mean, anyone's gonna

(50:32):
be a drip. It should have been Zoe. So like there,
nobody wants to be doing this, but they're all like
making the best of it, trying to get their moments,
being sweet and their little kilts and they're like plaid
and stuff. They were. I thought they were like, he's
got nice women. And so he was like, look, yeah,
it was a weird day for me. It's tough, you know, Carolina.

(50:52):
And he's like, look, all it takes is one conversation.
I will say he did give her a rose because
like she didn't get the one on one. What do
you think, Katie, you're having that okay? And then he's
like he's like, look, maybe it's for the best. She's
like okay or whatever, dude, He's like, no, it just
leaves me wanting more. She's like, ah huh. She's like,
look if I and again this has made her more likable.

(51:15):
She's like, if you came home, I haven't had a
traditional upbringing. It makes me feel like I'm damaged goods.
He's like, but that gives you character and grit. He
likes her.

Speaker 3 (51:24):
He's definitely physically attracted.

Speaker 1 (51:26):
She's beautiful. Yes, she's beautiful.

Speaker 3 (51:29):
I'm still surprised that she didn't get one on one
date earlier in the thing.

Speaker 1 (51:34):
She hasn't got one yet.

Speaker 3 (51:35):
I know it's it's that was a head scratcher.

Speaker 2 (51:38):
Yeah, but agree, But we'll get to the roaster, okay.
And how can you go home to the family.

Speaker 1 (51:45):
You're like, I'm going to get married, but we haven't
had one day yet.

Speaker 3 (51:48):
Yeah, here's my family, like me.

Speaker 1 (51:51):
Marrying somebody who came into one podcast?

Speaker 3 (51:56):
Are you ready to go?

Speaker 1 (51:58):
But I know you her, I feel like somebody who
came in for one would it be like Rob's mom
viv v So then Sarah Fina, she was like, you're
the first person who would I would have brought home
in six years. But like, you know, I feel like
my family would really like you. Alex has had a

(52:22):
difficult week. Alex is getting emotional too. We saw Alex
crying last week with the Lama like hanging by the pool, that's.

Speaker 3 (52:28):
What she disappearing. She's almost like visible, just floating away
on the show.

Speaker 1 (52:35):
Yes, which is what happened to our little Rose. Rose
floated away. I feel like I would. I could easily
if I got knocked off, I could float away. So
she got emotional, Dina, I know exactly. I'm like, can
I just pretaid I'm not here anymore? So then uh yeah,

(52:56):
and so the so then Dina and kind of was like,
you got to cut this shit to like Carolynina, you know,
it's like, you know, you're negative. I advocated so hard
for you last week. You're pulling this damsel in distress.
She's like, do you not have free will? She's like nah,
I know. She's like, okay, so you do. She became
the lawyer, so if you do not have free will,

(53:17):
then you know then I can't like be your friend.
Like like I was like, whoa, she's a good lawyer.
And she's got a point. She's like, so you're telling
me I should have cut it short. So she's like,
you're just coming off as ungrateful, and she goes, I
can't account for the weather gods because it rained insane,

(53:39):
and then she says, you can't take anything. You're not
playing nice. I have a soft spuffery. She's like, I
guess I'm just something in evil.

Speaker 3 (53:46):
I can't well. There was an interesting moment with the
weather God's thing where Sarah Pina called her out for
her like one liner thing yes, which I thought was
really fascinating because I think you yes those kind of
things all day long too.

Speaker 1 (54:02):
Like shut the fun shut. They're gonna have Sarah, Fina
and Carolina on a double date together in Paradise. In
Paradise be a two on one. There was no two
on one this year. It wasn't long enough.

Speaker 3 (54:18):
I'm sure.

Speaker 2 (54:19):
I can't believe we're already at hometown. That's crazy.

Speaker 5 (54:21):
It's crazy nine weeks, it's ten weeks total. One week is.

Speaker 2 (54:27):
And it's a shortened pool of women, isn't it.

Speaker 1 (54:30):
Yeah yeah, yeah. So she goes, I guess I'm just
crazy and evil, knowing exactly what she's doing to make
a little meme of herself.

Speaker 5 (54:39):
Annoying she can put that on her Instagram Before the
show even started, she sacks.

Speaker 1 (54:44):
She sucks, I respect to you, doctor Banana. So then
she pulls by the way I picked her as the
fire starter.

Speaker 2 (54:50):
I know, wow.

Speaker 1 (54:51):
And Juliana was my number one, which is very rare.
I usually have a very bad picker, Carolina. The other
ones I picked were not good. So then Carolyn appuls Grant.
She's like, I am excited for you to my hometowns,
but I don't want them to get too attached. They
would love you, and yeah, it just was like so

(55:15):
then they started fighting, Sarah FINA's fighting where they're like,
can we be real for once? And so then they
kept being like, let's talk, stop talking. Then they would
get talked to talking like no, no, we're not going
to talk about it. Dina feels played. She's like, I
rode so hard for her. I rode so hard for her.
So Dina's like, you know what, I'm going to talk
to Grant now. Snitches get stitches. It's never I was

(55:37):
shocked that she got the road shocked.

Speaker 3 (55:39):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (55:40):
It never works when you talk about somebody else's right,
particularly the hot one, because they want to like the
hot one. They don't want to hear it.

Speaker 3 (55:47):
I think her tone, though, in the way that she
said it was more appropriate because a lot of times
it's dramatic and there might be some tears and some emotions.
She was very rational. Yeah, and I think that that's
like she has grown on me. She's a sharp tack,
she's pretty cool. She's pretty cool, and so I feel

(56:10):
like she came to him with a snitch, but with
the right lawyers.

Speaker 1 (56:14):
See that she was. She was like high grant.

Speaker 3 (56:16):
Yeah, She's like, how do you.

Speaker 1 (56:18):
Feel like today? When that's like you like, hang yourself in.

Speaker 3 (56:22):
A conference room for a couple of minutes. Grand I
got to talk to you from into town.

Speaker 2 (56:25):
He's like, I think it went okay. Yeah, that's a
good point.

Speaker 3 (56:28):
He put the doubt, she put the doubts.

Speaker 1 (56:30):
How do you feel about okay? She's like, look, I
don't want to be a damsel in distress. I think
I trust that you're making good decisions, smart complimenting. I
feel like you've seen what you needed to see in me.
But there's just like with one person, so many consistent issues.
I'm not going to say what it is. You're a
smart man, you can figure it out.

Speaker 4 (56:51):
Maybe that was it.

Speaker 5 (56:51):
She was going at him like calmly, like you said,
but also being like I'm looking out for your best
interests and I'm not trying to spill tea here on She.

Speaker 1 (57:00):
Wh what did Dina Win, did you kiss my daughter exactly?
I saw you?

Speaker 3 (57:06):
Are you?

Speaker 2 (57:07):
Is that that's her dad?

Speaker 3 (57:11):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (57:12):
Okay, so then he makes it to the end.

Speaker 1 (57:14):
Got incredible. We also we also got a really fun
email about Dina from a listener named Hannu. Dina the
Romanian attorney and our sleep queen hi Arden eighty Arden,
Anna Katian, all of your amazing guests. I have written
in and also attended your live show in Brooklyn in

(57:35):
twenty twenty three with my mom, the original Doctor Banana
no respect to our girl, Doctor Banana, and you were
also amazing and friendly. I'm writing because I was dying
when I was listening to your draft episode for the
season when I heard JAKEI say, Okay, she's a Romanian attorney,
but like, if she comes from a family of doctors
and lawyers, you know she's a nightmare. I am a
Romainian attorney and my parents are both doctors, and my

(57:57):
aunt is a lawyer and judge. And I was like, yep,
that's right lol. Aside from my own realization that I'm
a total nightmare and mess, I promise I'm fun. Dino
was spot on about how Romanian females and families are.
When she said in her bio that she was the
most organized person in the world or something along those lines,
I was like, holy hell, that's my mom and my
sister in law, who's also born and raised in Romania.

(58:19):
They are both super ocd and extremely clean and direct
with their speech. So and I honestly just loved and
understood Dina's hole in manner. She's probably an awesome person
when she opens up. This has been raised by people
who usually aren't super open and communicative. I know because
I do address to my own mother's method of communication. Anyway,
there we go. We love her for I mean, how

(58:40):
great is that? Thank you for your email?

Speaker 2 (58:41):
Amazing?

Speaker 1 (58:42):
Okay, So so that was. That was the end of
the group date. Any final thoughts on the group date
before we take a great I'm.

Speaker 3 (58:52):
Glad they're over.

Speaker 1 (58:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (58:54):
Yeah, I'm not a fan of group dates. I never
have been.

Speaker 2 (58:56):
You know, it all looks pretty vague, yes, yeah, no.
At this point I was like, oh, wow, I'm thinking,
you know, Carolina is definitely gonna make it till next week. Yeah, right,
and Dina's going home. That was what I was thinking of.

Speaker 1 (59:09):
Yes, yep, yes, oh boy, I know, right, it was Okay,
we're gonna take a quick break. We're gonna come back,
and we're going to talk about Lytia, who I don't
know about you, but things a getting so hot in here.
I think I got to take I'll pay your break

(59:32):
and we're back. Okay, So here we are. Litia has
gotten the final solo day. In my mind, it's hers
to lose, and there's a piece of information that it's
coming out that I mean, maybe or maybe, Honestly, I
think it's where the struggle of the I think it's

(59:53):
a big decision. It's a huge it's a huge decision.
I think he loves her, and I think I think
he's the one, and I think she's wonderful, and it's
just a.

Speaker 3 (01:00:05):
Big ask of somebody.

Speaker 1 (01:00:06):
But we don't know. We don't know, we don't know,
We don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:00:09):
That, we don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:00:10):
I would be raise our kids like that.

Speaker 5 (01:00:12):
I bet you she wouldn't want him drinking, having caffeine
stuff like that.

Speaker 3 (01:00:16):
But I bet her she would start talking about this
because I think her family would.

Speaker 1 (01:00:20):
Be like, Okay, well, let's know.

Speaker 4 (01:00:22):
I don't think her family is going to be excessed.

Speaker 1 (01:00:24):
We don't know that yet we don't know that yet.
Let's see what happened. But but it's but it will
definitely be on the table.

Speaker 3 (01:00:29):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:00:30):
So they go and they go to a brewery and
they they drink stuff and he plays the bagpipes.

Speaker 2 (01:00:37):
Does she drink?

Speaker 1 (01:00:39):
No, you can't help.

Speaker 3 (01:00:41):
She held a glass to participate.

Speaker 5 (01:00:45):
It would be like, you know, sparkling cider, like apple
juice or something like. You know, I'm sure like if
I was her, I would be like, oh, just give
me something that's not so I can't.

Speaker 1 (01:00:55):
He wrote a poem for her, and then they stumbled
upon these women were so cute. They were knitting in
the square and she goes are their wedding bells? And
he said, yes, she's someone I could see as my wife.
They're so cute together.

Speaker 3 (01:01:09):
They look like a couple.

Speaker 1 (01:01:11):
Yeah, and she feel they feel like a real couple. Yeah,
they feel like husband and they feel she is warm.
And by the way, she her job is no slouchy job.
She is a vesture capitalist. I mean like that's never discussed.

(01:01:31):
It's never once been discussed. And so they do the
not tying thing on their wrists or they slide it out.
They tied the knot and he's they go home is
where the heart is. And then she wears this beautiful
gray dress and he's like, oh no, he goes, he goes, sorry,
he goes, I remember the conversation where you just got me.

(01:01:52):
And they both go so haws there in the gray
dress and they're like, yeah, the gray dress, you just
got me. And then she says to him, he says,
I'm so happy, and then she says, I like you
and other stuff like they're cute, they're not giving it
away for free. She's lovely. They're nervous but excited, and

(01:02:13):
they keep kissing. There's a lot of kissing, a lot
of kissing, and then they have they sit at a
table where they're really far away from each other a
lot in the castle for dinner, and he goes and
sits next to her, and she's nervous. I'm not something,
she has to tell him. I grew up very conservative,

(01:02:34):
very religious. I'm not sure what you're gonna think of this.
We are Church of Latter day Saints. We're Mormons. I
typically in the past only dated other Mormons. I've never
dated outside of Mormons. I want God to be but
she didn't say they have to be Mormon. She said
she want to it, but she said I want God
to be part of my marriage and that I want

(01:02:57):
my children to know that God loves them. And then
he and she said, what do you think of that?
And he's like, and then so he was saying that
he'd made some bad decisions and that and that he
found God and that he had compassion and love and
that love is everything, love is where it is. God
loves you. And he liked that she wants to raise

(01:03:19):
her kids knowing that God loves them. Okay, and then okay,
so then so then he's like, then he's like, so
it sounded like there's some logistics to work out. And
then he's like, but when you love so then he
was like, when you love someone, you love their family.

(01:03:39):
I can't wait for my wife's family. It's a big deal.
We did not eat dinner together. My family didn't. We
didn't eat dinner together at night. I would often eat
alone in my house. She teared up thinking of him
eating alone, and she kept kissing, and he felt like
he was like a work in progress. She's like, you're
enough right now, You're enough. She kept waiting his tears
with her palm and kissing him. She says. He says,

(01:04:02):
I crave a family. I've held a lot of this
in I would always to He starts crying. She's like,
I want him to feel love. You're also already enough
as you are. You are enough. I'm falling for you.
And then the piano players sit on plays and they
it's the Emily Sunday and she's like, I love him,

(01:04:25):
and uh, I mean, this day felt almost the most
like a married couple of any I've ever seen. But
there's a big elephant in the love row.

Speaker 3 (01:04:37):
Yes, and that elephant is going to show up next
week when she goes to visit her family. Yeah, and
her family, may I please? It's a radio okay, because
if if her family they are conservative Mormons, there will
be a not so subtle pressure for him to think

(01:04:58):
about converting to the Church of Jesus Christ.

Speaker 1 (01:05:04):
Now she hasn't said that yet.

Speaker 3 (01:05:06):
She was saying it it will she doesn't have to.

Speaker 1 (01:05:10):
We don't know, we don't what is she just gonna lie?

Speaker 4 (01:05:13):
I know we can be Christian.

Speaker 1 (01:05:14):
I think it's on the table, or maybe I think
they maybe I don't know. I feel that that's where
the struggle lies when he doesn't know which limba. I
think he wants to be with Letia, so but maybe
she does ask him to convert and that's.

Speaker 3 (01:05:29):
Too bad, or a family member, I could see it
coming from a parental unit, like how do you like,
we are we we are Mormon?

Speaker 2 (01:05:38):
You consider exactly only marry our own exactly?

Speaker 1 (01:05:42):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (01:05:43):
I mean, like this is important to because I know
people that have gone.

Speaker 5 (01:05:46):
Through that, it seems, and the way she says that
they're so religious, yes, like and how she hasn't dated
anyone who's not Mormon makes me think that the family
might not be super accepting of that and might be like.

Speaker 2 (01:05:58):
Well, who was the bachelor that was Mormon?

Speaker 1 (01:06:01):
Mormon?

Speaker 2 (01:06:02):
Bat was he the one that came out?

Speaker 3 (01:06:05):
He was just there have been some contestants, There's been
some some bachelorette there have been some Mormon.

Speaker 1 (01:06:13):
Was Emily Maynor.

Speaker 6 (01:06:14):
I feel like.

Speaker 2 (01:06:14):
Somebody was a Mormon in the bachelor world anyway. But
this conservatives this conservative. This seemed very conservative. The way
that she said it's felt.

Speaker 1 (01:06:25):
Well, if you notice she always wears like turtlenecks and
her arms always covered.

Speaker 2 (01:06:29):
And like where do they stand on sex? Those Mormons
not no, no sense.

Speaker 4 (01:06:33):
Isn't that like what the underwurst was. I don't know
a lot about Mormon.

Speaker 3 (01:06:36):
We have I do, okay, and and I don't know
if it's appropriate.

Speaker 5 (01:06:44):
I am just like genuinely curious, like would like if
if she makes it the fantasy suites, they're not fucking Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:06:51):
So we have another your email. We have another email
from our Mormon console. Okay, so he is Mormon, he's
a listener. We have a new email. Love it short answer? Kissing? Okay, Uh,
premarital sex or not? Okay, But there was a new.

Speaker 4 (01:07:07):
But is it like is it like do they do
like butt stuff?

Speaker 1 (01:07:10):
Okay? I don't think we can't have a new email. Okay,
wait here we go. If you want clarification on anything
prior to recording this week's podcast, let me know. But
I think Lytia did a great job being clear about
her beliefs during their short conversation. In the previous for
next week, Grant references tattoos and piercings. The church is
anti tattoo and anti piercing, with the exception of his

(01:07:32):
single ear piercing for women, but these areas are typically
only addressed in general ways. Your body is a temple,
et cetera, compared to other things that are more explicitly
defined no tobacco, no alcohol, et cetera. And we obviously,
we obviously don't expect non Mormons to follow non Mormon rules.
So it is it is the in the unlikely chance

(01:07:54):
that Grant were to convert, the fact that he's coming
into the church with the tattoos and piercings would not
be an issue. I feel like if any of Latia's
family were at all confrontation in the hometown visit, they'd
have shown it in the trailer. So I'm hoping that
means they were so welcoming that there weren't even any
statements made that could be taken out of context in
a preview.

Speaker 3 (01:08:13):
That's good, great email. Yeah that's a great email.

Speaker 5 (01:08:16):
All right, So maybe they're saying no sex before marriage.

Speaker 1 (01:08:19):
Probably not, so she's a virgin, I would imagine.

Speaker 3 (01:08:22):
But there's also I once read this great read, this
great sort of nonfiction account of a young guy going
on a Mormon sort of teen tour, and the girls

(01:08:43):
did things on that trip up until a certain point,
but then you never hear from them ever again. It's
almost like Okay. There are certain situations where am I
making sense? There are certain situations where you can get
jiggy to a certain point. They can so but then yeah,
I mean you know now now, but after that, you're

(01:09:04):
now you're looking for.

Speaker 5 (01:09:05):
There's there's a TikTok that I like sometimes get fed
where it's like this dude at b y U and
he goes up to people and he's like he asked
them questions like would you would you rather Like it's
like crazy, would you rather drink keffee?

Speaker 4 (01:09:16):
Or like kill a person? Literally?

Speaker 5 (01:09:18):
But he like went up to people and it's like
have you ever soaked? And the amount of people were
like yeah, I mean good for the.

Speaker 1 (01:09:23):
They don't count it as good for that, don't count it. Okay, Look,
we'll find out more and more to be revealed. I
think he wants to marry her, so we'll just see.
I do feel I do sort of agree with our
email listener that we would have seen it, that we
would have seen it, but we might not see.

Speaker 4 (01:09:40):
Outright of like passionate, pass passive, aggressive.

Speaker 5 (01:09:43):
Demand or anything, but we might see hints, thank you, Jeff,
would thank you do this?

Speaker 4 (01:09:50):
Would you do that? How do you feel about converting.
You know, like I think you'd be able to give
up alcohol.

Speaker 1 (01:09:56):
I think I think he's gonna pick Letia. I I
mean like I think is going to convert. I don't think.
I think he's not going to convert.

Speaker 4 (01:10:05):
Just I mean, I guess they could raise their children
Mormon and he's.

Speaker 1 (01:10:08):
I think he's not going to convert. I don't know
they're going to get married. I think she's going to
win the game. It may become more of it. I
think he loves her, and I.

Speaker 2 (01:10:17):
Think they'll break up in six months and they'll be
and they'll.

Speaker 1 (01:10:20):
Go with Julia.

Speaker 3 (01:10:20):
If they get together, I think they should go f
l d S and start a little polygamy colony. Okay,
flds are the old the you guys raise fldst.

Speaker 1 (01:10:37):
It, Doctor Banana, What did you think of all that?

Speaker 6 (01:10:41):
I kind of find it to be really really unfair
to come on a show like this knowing that your
family is so religious and there's so many rules to
be like, you know what, I'm going to go on
the Bachelor and I'm.

Speaker 1 (01:10:53):
Not going to tell you, and I'm not going to
tell you toll the and if you expect somebody to
convert it is unfair. You're right, but we don't know
that she expects him because she has not said that yet. Okay,
but she hasn't said that yet, so that hasn't been
said yet.

Speaker 2 (01:11:06):
It is true that it certainly if her family needs
him to convert, that would be unfair.

Speaker 1 (01:11:11):
You would have to say it earlier. You have to
say a pretty like date one like you.

Speaker 6 (01:11:17):
Know, you have to say walking out the Limma, like,
hey girl, I'm Mormon. This is what's up. Yes, you know,
my family's really religious. There you go. Can't wait to
trauma bond.

Speaker 1 (01:11:26):
Okay, Okay, all right, we're gonna take a quick break.
We're gonna come back with the rose ceremony outcome who
we think the top three in order our post of
the week and review of the week now even gift
going out to a review of the week. And so
uh that's where we are.

Speaker 3 (01:11:49):
Oh, bone zone.

Speaker 1 (01:11:53):
Time for the bone zone and we're back. Okay, here
we go, Rose ceremony. First Rose goes to in my mind,
his favorite Lytia. Okay, Katie, here Katie, the.

Speaker 4 (01:12:16):
First first he didn't get a rose on the date.

Speaker 1 (01:12:22):
I write them down, I write but roses. Okay, first
Rose went to Lydia. Okay, I think she he loves her,
but he's got he's gonna have a lot to chew on.
Second date goes to Julian. Third one, shock went to Dina,

(01:12:45):
doctor banana, crazy crazy. I think there's a little mommy like.
She scolded me, and I kind of liked it, you
know what I mean. No, she did it elegantly, but
it was like, you know what the right thing to do.
You're a smart man. Did you think it went well?
Did you think it went well? Okay, think about that.
I know you're smart. Did you think it went on?

Speaker 6 (01:13:06):
One conversation they had where she's like, do you get
what I'm putting down? I was like, he has no
idea what you're talking about.

Speaker 1 (01:13:12):
And then the final one Zoe no shocking, shocking, doctor banana,
doctor banana.

Speaker 6 (01:13:19):
He that was a my bad. Hope you're not mad
at me. Rose, I'm sorry she's not making it past hometown.

Speaker 1 (01:13:26):
But like Alex didn't get a rose, so he cut Alex.

Speaker 4 (01:13:31):
Sarafina, you didn't have to apologize, Alex. She already got
a date and Carolina goes.

Speaker 1 (01:13:37):
Carolina goes, I'm not gonna lie. I'm very like disappointed.

Speaker 2 (01:13:42):
Yeah, it was insane that I mean, I was surprised
she didn't get a rose, but I was also happy
that she didn't.

Speaker 1 (01:13:47):
Get I was so happy she didn't get she was chaotic.

Speaker 3 (01:13:50):
I was surprised that Sara Fina didn't get the rose,
and I was really surprised that they didn't show their interaction.

Speaker 1 (01:13:57):
I think he liked her as a friend and he
didn't want to like get attached to her. I think
he knew it would be unkind to go meet her fail.
I think she was never going to win, and I
think that she couldn't maybe shake it off like a Carolina.

Speaker 2 (01:14:10):
It's just hard to go to a hometown with a
woman that you've never had a date with.

Speaker 3 (01:14:13):
Great, Yeah, has that ever happened?

Speaker 1 (01:14:16):
I don't ever happened, not that I remember.

Speaker 4 (01:14:20):
I don't think so.

Speaker 6 (01:14:21):
I think it's happened once because I have a memory
of like a parent being like you guys haven't been
on a date, and it being awkward. But I don't
remember what, who or what.

Speaker 5 (01:14:29):
There's parents who've been like you guys, spent like two
hours together and like giving them about that.

Speaker 4 (01:14:35):
Yeah, it is crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:14:38):
What is it about my daughter?

Speaker 7 (01:14:39):
You know?

Speaker 2 (01:14:39):
I don't know yet.

Speaker 3 (01:14:41):
You've never gotten on a helicopter ride with my daughter.

Speaker 2 (01:14:43):
No, Yett, you've.

Speaker 3 (01:14:45):
Never done the gravity machine thing where you guys float
in the air and do the other hot people. Thinks
we've bunge never bungee jumping.

Speaker 2 (01:14:51):
No, we've stilln the cabr corseback riding eight other girls.

Speaker 1 (01:14:54):
Literally. Okay, who do you think? Three? Two on? Second
runner up, first order up winner? What do you think?

Speaker 3 (01:15:03):
I think?

Speaker 1 (01:15:03):
I think that we have Lytia, Juliana, and Zoey.

Speaker 3 (01:15:06):
I think the final three.

Speaker 1 (01:15:08):
I think in order, who's the third, who's the second?

Speaker 3 (01:15:10):
It's going to be Dina. Yeah, then I think it's
going to be Lytia. Then I think Juliana gets the Rose.

Speaker 1 (01:15:16):
I swear to God, okay, and then the and then
the bad Chelorette Zoe.

Speaker 2 (01:15:21):
That's no well, no one this year, right.

Speaker 1 (01:15:24):
Yeah, yeah, there's no one. Okay, Okay, are you who
do you think?

Speaker 2 (01:15:29):
Rob?

Speaker 3 (01:15:29):
Three?

Speaker 1 (01:15:29):
Two one?

Speaker 2 (01:15:30):
I'm gonna be I'm gonna mix it up and say
that magic happens in Zoe's family. Zoe's number three, okay?
Uh and uh?

Speaker 1 (01:15:38):
And then number two is Lytia.

Speaker 2 (01:15:42):
Or Leanna number two? Lytia going to win.

Speaker 4 (01:15:46):
I don't think she is.

Speaker 2 (01:15:47):
A lot depends on the next week.

Speaker 1 (01:15:49):
But what do you think? What do you think?

Speaker 2 (01:15:51):
I think Zoe three just because I'm trying to be
different and Lydia to Juliana one.

Speaker 1 (01:15:58):
Okay, so you're with him, Okay, literally the same thing.

Speaker 4 (01:16:01):
Okay, So it's gonna be between Latia and Juliana.

Speaker 1 (01:16:04):
But I think I'm gonna say Zoe Juliana winner is
gonna be Latina. He loves her, he loves her.

Speaker 2 (01:16:13):
Honorable mention to Juliana's eyebrows.

Speaker 1 (01:16:18):
You're gonna definitely go to Paradise. Okay, Doctor Banana, give
us your three two win.

Speaker 6 (01:16:24):
I think I think three and four are absolutely relevant.
He gave those roses to truly just as filler.

Speaker 1 (01:16:33):
Yeah, I think.

Speaker 2 (01:16:34):
That's what you're the doctor.

Speaker 6 (01:16:35):
Two. The two that he wants wants is Litia and
or Juliana. And I think so I I for three,
I would say whatever Dina as like, maybe like hey,
he thanks for beating my mom or whatever, and then
three two. I think it's gonna be two is Juliana

(01:16:56):
and one is Letia.

Speaker 1 (01:16:57):
Thank you. Doctor.

Speaker 6 (01:16:59):
He doesn't convert.

Speaker 2 (01:17:03):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:17:05):
I think he is going to win, and I feel
like eventually they're not going to get married.

Speaker 2 (01:17:10):
On the previews, you know they're on their way, just.

Speaker 1 (01:17:13):
If he doesn't know, because I think it's the religion thing.
And I think he's super horny for Juliana, and I think.

Speaker 2 (01:17:20):
She's got the Italian dad did you kiss my daughter?

Speaker 1 (01:17:23):
And the addiction thing, the bond of the Okay, so
