00:00:37
Speaker 4: Taylor Swift goes on Jimmy Fallon every Veterans Day. I come on Bachelor Half every hometown and it's really it really puts a smile on my face because this is famously or I mean, I should never say famously for myself.

00:00:52
Speaker 1: No one knows me. I'm just a troll under a rock yelling at the show.

00:00:56
Speaker 4: I love hometowns and I know you guys are not as big a hometown fans as I am. I just love the premise of person who did not sign up to go on a reality show has to be on a reality show because the families are all there somewhat against their will. It is are the loved One of theirs was like, please go on the show. I might get married to this person, and they all have to show up and we get like four different flavors of family, which is always a blast for.

00:01:34
Speaker 1: Me to date.

00:01:36
Speaker 3: Do you have a favorite that you can remember, a favorite hometown?

00:01:41
Speaker 4: Katie Thurston with her with her aunt and mom is probably one of the better, more uncomfortable ones.

00:01:47
Speaker 1: Do you guys remember that one?

00:01:49
Speaker 2: Yes, that was when she.

00:01:53
Speaker 5: Was the bocherrette and it was her family meeting two of her top guys or whatever. I think Blake Greg, Yeah, I think it was just Blake. I think that he was the only guy left.

00:02:10
Speaker 1: Well well Greg left or something. There was something.

00:02:14
Speaker 4: I'm sure the historians who listen will update us on what happened, but I just remember, you know, you think back like what what it was during COVID, I think too, and it was just you try to think of like what like I just want a family who's not into it, Like I think that is like the most fun thing that could happen. And you know this this week I would say. We had four pretty nice interactions. There were fun moments, there were you know, some it got a little long, it got a little heavy, you know, with some of the people, but it was really I always enjoy it. But how are I I didn't even ask you, how are you two doing?

00:02:51
Speaker 1: You guys?

00:02:51
Speaker 4: Are you're you're separated right now? And in Vegas.

00:02:57
Speaker 1: How we're doing doesn't it doesn't really matter. We're not we're doing, We're doing well. Everything Okay, We're.

00:03:05
Speaker 2: Good, We're great.

00:03:05

00:03:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, trying to spark divorce? What's going on.

00:03:12
Speaker 1: Everyone? It's not like locations. I mean, I don't know if there's video here you.

00:03:18
Speaker 3: Guys, I'm in Vegas. Well I'm going to I had to go. I'm going to l A tomorrow. So it just came out here in golf for a day.

00:03:26
Speaker 1: But I'm up money. So when you're up money in Vegas, it's a win. Okay.

00:03:30
Speaker 3: Back hometown hometowns, go ahead, Sena first hometown.

00:03:34
Speaker 2: First hometown.

00:03:35
Speaker 5: We have Devon, which I was actually surprised they started with Devin because I don't know, I wasn't that's that wasn't what I was expecting. But they have Devon in Houston and they're running with his run club, which I also wasn't expecting.

00:03:52
Speaker 4: That's the thing, I listen, I would rather die alone than be then try to meet the woman of my dreams and run club like like, and here's what I didn't understand. I'm I had actually I blocked this out of my brain. I'm watching the run club and I'm like, didn't these just start? Like? Was I was either asleep when run clubs became the new social scene because for Devin to have already been involved in one enough to have them be his best of friends and wearing shirts with.

00:04:25
Speaker 1: His name on it, I'm like, how is this even possible?

00:04:29
Speaker 2: How do you make these relationships friends? His friends started the run club?

00:04:35
Speaker 1: Okay? Because I was like, are you sure about that?

00:04:38
Speaker 2: That's how I read the situation. I'm not sure, but that's how I read the situation.

00:04:41
Speaker 5: That it was like, oh, a friend of mine or friends of mine started this run club? Was it the other way around? Like he joined the run club and then they became friends.

00:04:49
Speaker 4: I'll believe this, But like these run clubs like just started five minutes ago, Like, how did these people know you this?

00:04:55
Speaker 1: Well?

00:04:55
Speaker 4: Why are they so proud of you, Like I also like the idea, and Devon is sweating like an animal, Like they go on this run. It's not a good like no one is wearing like an under armor material shirt.

00:05:08
Speaker 1: They're all in like common. It's all horrible and.

00:05:13
Speaker 5: Disgusting Jens and Flair leggings, Like what are we doing?

00:05:16
Speaker 1: If it makes sense?

00:05:18
Speaker 4: None of it seemed planned out, Like I Devon does a great job, as he usually does, but I just was like if someone was like, like I saw that run club running up, and I was like, if I were Jenna, I'll be like and the date I'm gonna go home.

00:05:32
Speaker 1: I didn't know you were a run club guy. I'm on it, she said.

00:05:36
Speaker 2: She was like this is right up my alley, like I think she's a and she re playing lacrosse. It seemed like it was more she seemed to.

00:05:44
Speaker 5: Be having more fune than Devin, Like anytime they cut to shots of them, she's like beaming and Devin looked like he was sweating.

00:05:51
Speaker 4: Well that's the thing, Like Devon is like it's the hardest workout of his life because think about it, not only are you running, but then you have to fashion yourself left you have to like look to your left and talk and keep on like you're on a date. Being on a date is exhausting in its own right now you got to run during it?

00:06:12
Speaker 1: What is this? What are we checking our cholesterol?

00:06:14
Speaker 4: We're on the treadmill while they like hook up things to our body, like check our heart.

00:06:19
Speaker 1: Right.

00:06:19
Speaker 4: I was like horrified by the whole thing.

00:06:23
Speaker 1: I couldn't think of a date I would want less, But.

00:06:28
Speaker 3: I actually, I actually it kind of made me think a little differently of deafn because I just assumed like Devin to me seemed like he's just seems like and this is a complete assumption on my end, but I was like, Okay, this guy's gonna be He's like a guy that's gonna have like his guy friends that he's been friends with his whole life.

00:06:48
Speaker 2: Like yeah, they're gonna be like drinking beer in a bar.

00:06:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. The forum show up.

00:06:52
Speaker 3: But then it's like this, like yeah, like this random run club from it seemed like yeah, they were dressed like they were running in two thousand and eight, And I was like, yeah.

00:07:01
Speaker 4: I wouldn't have you know, and I would be the most fearful of opening myself up to being insulted because the minute they come over and she's like, you're in a run club. Like if I were Devon, they'd look at me and they'd be like, you run, you've you've ran? Ever what you run?

00:07:21
Speaker 1: Like?

00:07:21
Speaker 4: I the surprise in Jen would really make me feel horrible, Like I like, I, you've you've ran once. We don't really you like the amount of us that I would have get, like for presenting my run club like Devin, like you know, especially like he's you know, not the army ranger that Marcus is, like I would.

00:07:46
Speaker 1: I don't know.

00:07:47
Speaker 4: It was it shows you Devon's confidence to bring her to a run club.

00:07:52
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on his family? The family was great his I love the dynamic of I.

00:08:00
Speaker 4: I always think it's just funny that you spend the whole season being like my dad not the best guy, my dad running around.

00:08:10
Speaker 2: If I know where you're going, I feel the same way.

00:08:13
Speaker 4: And then the dad's there and you're like he's good, Like it's not like the dad. You don't know what he's gonna think of this, Like the dad has to like own his past in a way that like, I don't think a lot of people.

00:08:24
Speaker 1: Do that like it was.

00:08:25
Speaker 5: I was just so the way that it had been said up all season that anytime we hear about the dad, it's like my dad wasn't present and my dad was right.

00:08:34
Speaker 2: I'm not saying I believe him, like I'm not I'm not.

00:08:37
Speaker 5: Saying like I didn't believe the story, but like I was so taking like no part of me thought his dad would be present.

00:08:45
Speaker 2: And then he was like, my dad's yeah, good for you, like honestly good for.

00:08:49
Speaker 1: Him, right, and you know it is funny.

00:08:52
Speaker 4: He's like I did think Devin's dad was gonna come dressed as Sam and in the leather jacket, like smoking a cigarette next to him, motorcycle outside, like what like look at Jen, Yeah, she's hot, Like I like he was like like the way he was described, I thought it was gonna be like but he was great.

00:09:08
Speaker 1: And then the stepdad was hilarious.

00:09:10
Speaker 4: He's like the stepdad looked like the mascot for every stepdad, Like he was like his name was Todd, Like I love Todd. The stepdad like it just like he fit exactly how this dynamic. And then anytime you can get a grandma and grandpa on the show, I'm happy. I mean they you know, they tell the story of how they met, and you could tell like Devon's been the Bart Simpson, Devin the menace of his family, like the you know, everything was true, Like the grandma was like, oh you were a g string who could have thought? Like you could tell like Devon is is the character?

00:09:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, the family, Devin the Menace, hometown whose number number.

00:10:01
Speaker 2: Two is Jeremy in Connecticut.

00:10:04
Speaker 5: And you know what bold to put not Camp Crystal Lake because I don't know about you guys had no idea what they were talking about.

00:10:11
Speaker 4: So I guess it's not the camp he went to growing up that he's mentioned.

00:10:15
Speaker 2: So I searched it up because I was like, that's so random.

00:10:19
Speaker 5: No one was wondering if it was Camp Crystal Lake, and I guess it's like a Friday the thirteenth reference.

00:10:25
Speaker 1: Oh is that what it is? Yeah? Yeah, I didn't know what this was.

00:10:29
Speaker 2: Went right over my head.

00:10:30
Speaker 5: I've never seen the movies, but even if I had, I don't know if I would have put it together.

00:10:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess, like, I don't know. It was such an interesting choice for them to tell. I thought it was.

00:10:40
Speaker 1: Because he was Jewish, and they kept bringing up his summer camp friends.

00:10:43
Speaker 4: But maybe that was me making that joke, and I was like, I was like, it just was fine. I thought that was like a like a producer who went to camp who was like happy that a guy went to camp was on the show.

00:10:53
Speaker 5: Like I saw it and just assumed was like I miss something, like maybe he talked a lot about a camp in a past episode. No, it was a it was a reference to Friday the thirteenth, and I guess like that's the camp that it takes place at.

00:11:06
Speaker 1: In one of them, it did look like a murder scene that they walked up to.

00:11:09
Speaker 2: I mean like it was made a joke like are we going on a dat? Are you here to murder me?

00:11:14
Speaker 4: So y?

00:11:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, really it looks sketchy, okay, but it was.

00:11:19
Speaker 4: Weird that they're like, we're going to Stuart Stuart Leonards, which is like a market that is in like Westchester and Connecticut. Like it's like a have you heard of it? Yes, it's like a famous market. It's like people from that area like really, have.

00:11:32
Speaker 1: You Joe, do you know this place?

00:11:35
Speaker 4: No? This is like a known place that like people from that area like you know, it's like wah wah and sheets, like the way people have this nostalgic things.

00:11:45
Speaker 2: Like a classic for Connecticut.

00:11:47
Speaker 1: Right and and Westchester. I would say so, but I didn't.

00:11:52
Speaker 4: I knew they had the characters and like, I mean, they reacted like they had never been to Disney World before, like the way they acted like there's cows everywhere, like they really put it on. But I did enjoy the date and I loved that his aunt was there, and it's like, of course your aunt is there.

00:12:12
Speaker 1: That's what I was gonna ask. Yeah, that's what I was gonna ask. Do you think do you think she figured out that bachelor rolled up and they're filming in this grocery store?

00:12:22
Speaker 2: You is the mom and the aunt twins?

00:12:29
Speaker 1: They looked a lot alike.

00:12:30
Speaker 2: They looked identical to me.

00:12:32
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, they looked very similar.

00:12:34
Speaker 4: I I love the the aunt coming through, like obviously the mom was like this is where they're gonna be. Make sure you're there around twelve o'clock and like see what she's like. You know, like that was like the move.

00:12:48
Speaker 1: Yeah. I liked that. It was fun.

00:12:50
Speaker 4: I liked that he was so surprised, but like you know, with my mom whenever she's up to her high jinks. I'm never surprised, Like I would just be like, yeah, of course, my aunt it's gonna be here, and I'm gonna of course she's gonna make my life harder in any way she can, you know, like I would like I would assume that, and then.

00:13:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, were you were you shocked? We'll just jump to the to the end because he goes home. Were you shocked? He went home?

00:13:18
Speaker 4: Not really, I it kind of felt like, well, also, it's so last second, like he gets this great he has this great date two weeks ago and it was a great date, but like it was a great second or third date. It wasn't we should get engaged, I mean, like and him he was holding back.

00:13:40
Speaker 1: So they go to his house.

00:13:41
Speaker 4: And when they go to his house and the mom who looks like the mom looks like the face.

00:13:47
Speaker 1: Of Mischa go Goths.

00:13:48
Speaker 4: There's this thing like Mischi Gos is like like I just imagine this mom's screaming this is Mischi Goos, Like all the time she just looks like that. It's like just always screaming terms like she just like had that like vibe to her.

00:14:04
Speaker 1: Her name was Karen. She looked like the mascot for Karen's.

00:14:08
Speaker 4: Like it was just like perfect and you could tell the not buying it in her and.

00:14:14
Speaker 5: Totally I thought it was so weird too that she basically said to Jen like, I don't know you, so I can't tell you if he's gonna propose, if he like where this is gonna go, because I just don't know you as as a couple, And then cut to Jen in her interview She's like, she just doesn't know if Jeremy's ready for marriage. I was like, I'm pretty sure that's not what just happened to all, but that's what we can go with.

00:14:35
Speaker 2: That's what makes everyone feel more comfortable.

00:14:38
Speaker 4: Right, she didn't buy it. You could tell the mom just didn't buy it. The sister didn't buy it. I mean the sister. I mean she was really grilling everyone, including him, which I enjoyed, Like, and you could tell Jeremy wasn't taking this as seriously as maybe the other guys were. Like that was like the vibe of like we'll figure it out, Like there was like it didn't really feel like a guy who was like it felt like a guy who was like maybe will be Instagram Official not like yeah, see, I.

00:15:08
Speaker 5: Think if you got to the and he would have gotten down on one knee, I think absolutely. I think first, I just think he's like he's just really casual, Like I could just see him being at the end being like sure all proposed, like yeah, like, let's do it. Like I just think he gives really casual energy about the whole thing, which is something you don't see a lot.

00:15:28
Speaker 1: Was it him that you were saying?

00:15:29
Speaker 3: Is definitely I could definitely see this guy getting engaged on paradise.

00:15:33
Speaker 1: Was it him?

00:15:33
Speaker 4: Yeah?

00:15:34
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I stand by that. I could be very wrong, but that's where my head's out right now.

00:15:38
Speaker 1: With him with his Jewish bro vocal fry. I was thinking.

00:15:45
Speaker 4: You could get maybe I could get married, and you don't have to convert.

00:15:52
Speaker 1: I don't mind if you're a Buddhist.

00:15:59
Speaker 3: Who Okay that we have Uh, we'll touch on Jonathan's hometown, which I thought was pretty pretty standard.

00:16:06
Speaker 1: I mean they.

00:16:08
Speaker 2: Were every home was very similar.

00:16:11
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean his hometown his dad kind of looked like a pastor.

00:16:15
Speaker 1: He was in like the funny the khaki suit.

00:16:18
Speaker 4: And though the best part of John's hometown is the brother who's and.

00:16:24
Speaker 1: The sister law.

00:16:25
Speaker 5: Sister Law looks like a Bocheler contestant. She was like, she was buying into it hardcore too.

00:16:31
Speaker 3: I was throwing off, if your family John to me, my brother's my brother's name is John, but to me John and John. I know, I know John is short for Jonathan, but to me, there are two different names. And if your family's calling you John, I would assume that you go around introducing yourself to people as John not Jonathan.

00:16:53
Speaker 1: Well, it is weird to go by full name. Talked about a nickname with the family. Yeah, I agree. Usually families going, oh.

00:17:01
Speaker 2: I think that's weird. I mean, joe your family like, you would never.

00:17:04
Speaker 5: Introduce yourself as Joey, but your entire family calls you Joey, Joey, but Joey.

00:17:10
Speaker 1: But think about it. If I went around, I was like, if my family called Joey and I'm like, I'm.

00:17:14
Speaker 2: Joseph, Yeah, no, that would I was a little formal.

00:17:18
Speaker 1: My brother tried to do that move.

00:17:20
Speaker 4: My brother's a Harry and then he goes to college and he's like, I'm Harrison, and my dad and I were like, what the fuck are you talking about?

00:17:28
Speaker 1: And and he was like and.

00:17:31
Speaker 4: Like all these girls in his freshman dorm were like Harrison, Harrison, Harrison. We're like, why are they calling you Harrison? And that is his full name. But he's like I made a change, like he went like what he went into college, Like this is a a grand decision that I'm making. And I literally stopped him and I was like a year into the working world whatever, and I was like, you should go back to Harry.

00:17:53
Speaker 1: There's because no one forgets a young Harry.

00:17:57
Speaker 4: I was like, you're making a bad des You think this this is a more formalized way to go about life and make yourself more serious, you will be wrong. Young Harry fun young Harrison easily forgotten.

00:18:11
Speaker 1: That was my advice.

00:18:11
Speaker 5: But I feel like Harrison it sounds sexier than Harry, right, Harry Styles and yeah, Harry Styles.

00:18:19
Speaker 2: There's yeah, there's.

00:18:20
Speaker 1: Some what does he go by today? Harry? He's back to.

00:18:25
Speaker 2: Harry took he took your advice.

00:18:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. I believe in this to this day.

00:18:30
Speaker 4: Like I've never had a nickname, Jared is like I never I was like, what's the nickname? And then recently I was at the Comedy Seller and there's a band at the Village Underground one of one of their stages as a band, and the piano player is a friend of mine and he's Red and one day he pulls me to said, he goes, you know, my name's Jared too, And I was like, wait a.

00:18:51
Speaker 1: Minute, Red was an option. I could have been read freed Jared, I'd be a lot cooler. Well, Jared like comedian.

00:19:06
Speaker 4: Red is like sexy hot, you know, musician, Like I could have a different life.

00:19:17
Speaker 2: We'll sir, call you read next time on the podcast.

00:19:25
Speaker 4: Law doing the classic tell you our extreme meeting story to normalize all meeting and extreme ways, which was really annoying. Like she's like, we met on Tinder and two weeks later we're moving in and having a baby.

00:19:40
Speaker 1: And I loved when she was telling it.

00:19:43
Speaker 4: John's brother just looked the most miserable you've ever seen someone look like you could just see on his face, like, yeah, we've probably moved a little too quick. And she's like it worked for us, and You're like, did it?

00:19:57
Speaker 2: I liked her? But I think to Andrew's saying, so he said nothing.

00:20:02
Speaker 5: Her and the husband slash Jonathan's brother, felt like they were on very They had very different strategies going into it, like as a couple who comes in with yeah.

00:20:12
Speaker 2: Like they've moved fast. They have kind of a unique dating story.

00:20:15
Speaker 5: She's trying to bond with them over it, like they couldn't have taken a different approach to the situation, Like she.

00:20:20
Speaker 2: Was all in and he couldn't have been less in.

00:20:24
Speaker 1: I totally agree.

00:20:25
Speaker 4: It felt like he was like sitting behind her being like, we move too quick, don't do it, don't make the mistake.

00:20:30
Speaker 2: Though I'm just trying to protect her.

00:20:32
Speaker 5: It's like from what you seem like, you're in a happy, beautiful marriage.

00:20:35
Speaker 1: Wow, I'm gonna tell you.

00:20:37
Speaker 4: John's brother and that wife got in a fight in the car after that taping because she was all like, if we can do it, you can do it, and he's sitting there being like I'm just trying to.

00:20:47
Speaker 5: Maybe I'm just trying to offset him. Like maybe she was like I'm gonna like, you know, when someone's like.

00:20:53
Speaker 4: Your good cat bad, I felt, you know, I you know, when you can feel an energy. I just looked at him and he and he looked like a guy who was stuck and I and I that guy.

00:21:10
Speaker 2: Has not decided to put the relationship on blast. But Jared has this.

00:21:14
Speaker 4: Kind of I want the I want the footage of John's brother pulling him into another room, going dude, I got a mortgage. Now. Three months ago, I was in Vegas hooking up with Broad's and now I'm got a kid on the way. Don't do this to yourself, you know, like that's what it felt like he was gonna do.

00:21:33
Speaker 2: He was very skeptical.

00:21:35
Speaker 3: Okay, last one, not least marcus hometown.

00:21:46
Speaker 1: Thoughts heavy heavy.

00:21:49
Speaker 4: I mean Marcus's whole story who heavy yeahs. And he just seems like such like he's an American hero. He got you know, like he got you know, injured in war. He was a foster kid and his sister's there and their bond so strong, and then like the there was only one funny part of like it all was super serious, and then you could see like Marcus is fighting with giving in to like this whole thing and like showing emotion like that's his big story. There was one guy that was like his Army Ranger friend who did the classic like wait till she meets this group and it's like, you guys know from like doing events. I know, from doing like corporate shows or going to like doing like meeting people on the road.

00:22:42
Speaker 1: Everyone thinks their group is like wild and crazy who can handle us? And they're all the same.

00:22:51
Speaker 4: And when he went into that speech, like, really, dude, you think she's not gonna be able to handle like a former army ranger who was trained to be the most respectful, wonderful person, Like I think we're gonna be okay.

00:23:03
Speaker 1: I just hate that, Like, wait till you meet my family. Oh my family is Oh my god. My aunt Phyllis is just crazy.

00:23:10
Speaker 4: And it's like, have I met an aunt who doesn't shut the fuck up before?

00:23:14
Speaker 1: Yeah? I have. Okay, not gonna be a problem for me.

00:23:17
Speaker 4: Not gonna be a problem hearing about how work is crazy. I'm not gonna be an issue to hear you go. I went on a date and then like cool, cool story, bro, I I I can't stand that. And honestly, eat our family. Oh my god, we have a crazy cousin who goes to college. Like not that cool.

00:23:43
Speaker 5: You know what I found interesting too, is they usually show the whole front of the house like a big zoom out image of the house, and they did it with this one, and I only noticed because the front door looked really nice. I was like, I wonder what this house looks like?

00:23:55
Speaker 4: At first, I was like, is this a prison like when they showed it at first, and like it looked very very much like a county like space, Like it looked like a Knights of Columbus. I I I I. I did notice the home and I was like, where is it like? And then the room they were in was very much like you know, like Y M c A, you know, hangout.

00:24:18
Speaker 2: With the party. Yeah, it was going to be a party room.

00:24:21
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:24:21
Speaker 4: I didn't have the vibe of like that's where I go watch t g IF on a Saturday Friday night, you.

00:24:26
Speaker 1: Know, like g I F Wow, that's that's what That's that's wild. That one was for you, Joe, Thank you, thank you. All right, Red, before we.

00:24:34
Speaker 2: Let you go, wait, one more thing we have to talk about.

00:24:37
Speaker 5: What did you think of them throwing all the guys together and having them chat about their hometowns, because I feel like we we rarely see that, we rarely together outside of a rose ceremony really cut off and I actually I really wanted them to break the fourth wall here and talk about how their family's experience was with like being on the show.

00:24:56
Speaker 2: But right, no, I thought that would have been a good time.

00:25:00
Speaker 4: Well, the four of them being together, like I thought kind of was a breaking of the fourth wall because they start talking about like it didn't feel like they enjoyed it as much as they thought they were going to enjoy it, Like they're like, we're boys, cheers beers for the boys. And then you see them like kind of unraveling, and I'm like, yeah, this does make if you really do like love this woman, like we've been a part for long enough to kind of like believe, you know, you go back to being like on Tinder, you know, where you're like I'm the only one.

00:25:32
Speaker 1: They're talking to.

00:25:33
Speaker 2: You know.

00:25:33
Speaker 4: It's I think it's easy to go back to that like delusion a little bit. And I wouldn't you know, delusion is a strong word, but I wouldn't blame them for that. So then the minute you put back together and you're like, we are friends, but we're also four friends who are still not dumped by the same woman, Like I kind of felt for them, and then like it was funny, like Jeremy is the only one that can joke about it, because I believe Jeremy was the only one that really wasn't emotionally that far along, you know, Like you have Marcus who's like questioning his own sanity for not being as in love as the other ones.

00:26:07
Speaker 5: Yet I want to see I think he's going to send himself home to the to.

00:26:12
Speaker 1: The contestants that go on the show that are like that get down to the end and.

00:26:16
Speaker 3: They're like, like Marcus, like I can't, like what is wrong with me? I don't well, I want to be like it's okay that you may not be fully involved with this woman right now, Like it's okay.

00:26:27
Speaker 5: Like that is a top I will say, Like I could relate to him, cause I remember hometown Week being like looking around we did like a chot at the beginning of the week and being like, oh, I'm not where you guys are, And then you kind of start to internally be like, well, what's wrong with me?

00:26:44
Speaker 2: Like why am I the outlier here? Why are they in a place that I'm not?

00:26:48
Speaker 1: Like?

00:26:48
Speaker 5: It is kind of disorienting. So I really did feel for him.

00:26:51
Speaker 4: I and also the guilt like you're being told by all of your the women in your life, go for it, just say you love her so that you get her. And then if Marcus is like not sure, is he gonna like is he gonna be the one that's in the way of someone who actually wants to you know, Like, like I listen, in my own dating life, I have this moment where I'm like, I wish I knew if this was the temperature I should be, and then I'll cut things off because I'm like, I'm not at a temperature that I don't even know what that temperature feels like. Like I have that in my own dating life where you go, I feel something for this person, but like is this what it feels like?

00:27:33
Speaker 1: No one knows.

00:27:34
Speaker 4: And then it's like, well, if I'm not sure, I should just cut this off completely because I'm like, who am I to take to you again? The phrase most women use don't waste my time? And I don't think any guy who's just a normal Jim or Joe wants to be the accused time waster.

00:27:55
Speaker 1: So this is this is a little deeper than I expect.

00:27:58
Speaker 4: I'm sorry to bring us there, this is sorry to ruin your Vegas Boys trip, Joe.

00:28:03
Speaker 1: I know, is the conversation.

00:28:06
Speaker 4: You're having at the win You're probably like, they'll hit on a soft seven.

00:28:11
Speaker 1: Well, I'm married. What's right there?

00:28:14
Speaker 4: No, I'm saying you're having you're not having deep conversations.

00:28:18
Speaker 1: While there No, no, no deep conversations.

00:28:21
Speaker 4: You're talking about action on the Patriots under for season wins.

00:28:25
Speaker 1: Just walking around and I think that slot's gonna hit. I think that was gonna hit.

00:28:30
Speaker 4: You do the slots, that's what you're doing. You're a trader who does slot machines. I don't.

00:28:34
Speaker 3: I don't play slot machines only once in a while. What do you play Roulette? I love roulette?

00:28:40
Speaker 4: You play Roulette and I hit you're married to a roulette player.

00:28:45
Speaker 3: And but this this trip, this trip, this trip, I wanted playing blackjack.

00:28:50
Speaker 1: But okay, Jared, give me man craps. I hate craps. Jared, before we let you go, give me a prediction. Who do you think Jen ends up with?

00:29:02
Speaker 2: And who do you think the next person to go home is? Who do you think goes home off Fantasy sweets?

00:29:06
Speaker 4: I think after the Fantasy Suites, John.

00:29:12
Speaker 1: Or Jonathan goes home.

00:29:15
Speaker 4: I think she's gonna propose a non proposal. I've been calling her fun Jen since the minute she came on the screen because she's all about fun, she's tequila shots.

00:29:27
Speaker 1: I don't think she wants to get married. I don't think she.

00:29:29
Speaker 4: I think she's looking for someone to like have a serious boyfriend that respects her and she feels like valued by and I think that's enough of a win for her, the idea that she is. She says on this episode, I've never introduced a guy to my parents, and it's like, to me, that's too much, too soon, like for for some like let's I think they're going to walk before they run. So I think it's gonna end with her being like, hey, Devin, let's date and you can worship me. And that's how I kind of like, because Devon's gonna that Is that your answer? That's my answer? I think Devon. I think Devon she's already even said she loves she loves him, falling for him. She didn't she said that earlier than anyone else.

00:30:15
Speaker 1: That's true.

00:30:16
Speaker 4: I think Devon offers like everything she wants, like a warship, which she does. You know, like Jen likes being liked and you can see that who amongst us doesn't. But it feels like Jen just likes the idea of someone's like into her, and I think Devin gives her that.

00:30:36
Speaker 3: Okay, well all right, well well we will see pretty shortly. Well, this is a perfect place to end it, and we'll pick back up. So everyone, thank you for tuning into.

00:30:47
Speaker 1: Best your Happy Hour. Make sure you stay tuned into part two with Jared. Thank you, thank you for listening.
