00:05:40
Speaker 4: I look like I need a tan. Right, this is Dallas. It's snowing right now. I need a tan.

00:05:45
Speaker 9: So you don't complain.

00:05:47
Speaker 10: It's like ten degrees in New York.

00:05:50
Speaker 1: I mean it's really cold on here. Okay, So Grant, what could you tell us about Grant? We're getting ready for his season. You guys are his closest friends from the season.

00:06:02
Speaker 6: What was Grant's style on gen season?

00:06:05
Speaker 5: I feel like everyone kind of has a different approach when they're contestant.

00:06:09
Speaker 10: I'll tell you because so I roomed with Grant in New Zealand. Love the guy, by the way. I think he'll be a great lead. Dude naps all the time. When he was announced, I'm like, Oh, I'm pumped for him, but like, how are you going to do this? Eighteen hour days?

00:06:26
Speaker 2: Yeah?

00:06:28
Speaker 9: Back to my room. He was asleep until the second.

00:06:32
Speaker 2: We'd be having guy talks and then we look around, Grant's gone.

00:06:35
Speaker 6: And just to sleep. He was a stealthy nappert.

00:06:40
Speaker 4: Yeah, I will say I there were a few guys on the show, some on this call that I had some really deep heart t hearts with just one on one, and Grant was one of them.

00:06:52
Speaker 2: Actually pretty early on.

00:06:53
Speaker 4: And yeah, just an awesome guy that's looking for his person, his forever. So I am amped to see him find that being on the show. Prior to being on the show, I hadn't watched the full season ever, and now I'm obsessed with reality TV, so you.

00:07:12
Speaker 2: Rum Yeah, I love the drama. I love it. What am I not watching?

00:07:16
Speaker 5: I actually that totally lines up for me, Spencer, that you're now the reality television having met you yet.

00:07:22
Speaker 2: But yeah, no, I'm just amped to watch. We're going to have bachelor nights.

00:07:28
Speaker 4: Me and my friend group all my best friends who were married with wives, So for them it's socially acceptable.

00:07:35
Speaker 2: For me, it's a little weird.

00:07:36
Speaker 5: You well, it's all fir because you were on the show. But do you think it's going to be more fun watching this season, or do you think it was more fun watching your own season?

00:07:47
Speaker 6: It's not a trick question.

00:07:48
Speaker 5: I just think like watching yourself can be really stressful. Whereas you're watching like your be the lead.

00:07:54
Speaker 4: It's gonna be so much, so much easier watching him. I was, you don't know how things going to turn out when your episodes are airing, and when you're sitting there with your family and your loved ones. You talk a lot on the show, and a very small portion of it makes it on air, but you're always wondering what makes it and what does it? So, Yeah, no, watching Grant's canna be way more enjoyable.

00:08:18
Speaker 1: Did you guys see Did you guys see a change in Grant when he started falling for Jen? Was he a different guy?

00:08:28
Speaker 8: I don't think so. No, I think that's what I was gonna say. Well, I mean, Jeremy, maybe you have something else to say, And you said I saw a really authentic, really genuine dude through and through, and I'm really excited to see that shine.

00:08:41
Speaker 2: I mean, I didn't see much change other than he got a little.

00:08:44
Speaker 8: Simpy sometimes and he would start to tell us like, yo, I'm really really falling for her. But no, like real behavior changes. He's like the coolest guy in the world. So looking forward to Jeremy.

00:08:54
Speaker 4: Jeremy was there when the night that it was actually one of the nights in New Zealand that we were all sitting at a rose ceremony, like a cocktail party, the free Rose ceremony party, and Grant was just sitting there and we're all sitting there talking and randomly he goes, man.

00:09:16
Speaker 2: How do you guys feel about Jen? And we start talking. He goes, yeah, I'm.

00:09:21
Speaker 4: In love with her, and we're all sitting there, We're like, Okay, that kind of came out of nowhere, And so that was a complete shift for me and seeing how he was approaching his relationship with her, and then him and I actually got the acts on the same night and we took the car after the Rose ceremony together and it was definitely you can see that.

00:09:48
Speaker 2: He was he was really really broken up about it.

00:09:51
Speaker 4: So No, I definitely saw a shift that night in New Zealand when he kind of just told us all they loved her before he had even told her, right, Jeremy, I mean that maybe Jeremy can take it, go for it.

00:10:04
Speaker 10: Jeremy, I was pretty I can't say I'm shocked to hear it, Like we were pretty deep in the process at that point, but he was just not afraid to wear his heart on his sleeve, like even just to the guys who were also competing for Jen's hart. So I think I think he'll do great as a lead. I'm super excited to watch the season. I think he'll You know, he's a mature guy. He's thirty one, thirty two, been in long relationships, Like I don't think he's afraid to show his emotions and really, you know, sort of lead a relationship.

00:10:38
Speaker 9: Nice.

00:10:39
Speaker 5: Having not met him, like we've only met him kind of briefly through interviews and stuff, you guys know him way better. I don't know if I would pick Jen as like the fit for him, Like, I don't know if I knew them both, if I would like set them up. Do you think that she's his type and who he's going to go for now as the lead or do you see him maybe with something different?

00:11:01
Speaker 7: Nah, he's he's not going for a girl like Jen's amazing Jens.

00:11:06
Speaker 3: I'm just keeping a bean. Thank you, Jen, Jen's dad girl, Like I rock with Jen heavy. That's my girl.

00:11:15
Speaker 7: Right, she didn't invite me to her birthday party, but we're still chilling, right, But I'm I would say Grant is uh Grant super low key, super duper low key. He's not out there. Jen's out there. She's out there, you know what I mean?

00:11:34
Speaker 3: So like that he's I think he's gonna go for a.

00:11:37
Speaker 7: Girl that is more low key at his you know level type of thing, like because he doesn't want a girl that's gonna be why like really out there, like because she is like a she's a eva, Like.

00:11:47
Speaker 3: She's a little princess, you know what I'm saying.

00:11:49
Speaker 7: So like you you see her, you know, like yeah, like that's that's she's a prison.

00:11:53
Speaker 5: Yeah, she's definitely a feisty check. And I feel like something is that, Like you know, opposites attracting can work. I just don't see it, Like I don't see Grant going for someone as like high energy like Jen's like living life in a big way right now and he's giving like super mellow.

00:12:12
Speaker 7: Super low key, Like he doesn't even post on social media, like you know what I mean, So like he's a person that's.

00:12:17
Speaker 2: Very some car selfie's out there. I don't know.

00:12:21
Speaker 1: He's got the Ferrari, so he's showing it off. I'm gonna I'm gonna throw out a hypothetical here. Let's say one of you two, one of you four where to get a call from Grant and it's near the end and he's in love with two women. What advice would you give him? Haw Cam, you go first.

00:12:41
Speaker 3: Damn, it's gotta be me.

00:12:42
Speaker 1: Okay, Spencer, Spencer, you go first.

00:12:48
Speaker 2: Oh shoot, I mean, uh man, that's really really tough. I've never been in love with two people at the same time.

00:12:56
Speaker 4: I think in that situation, you have to fall back on what realistically fits with you and your life and your day to day and not be as caught up in the moment and actually look okay long term in a marriage. In my day to day, the things I like to do are passions, like everything, can we grow together as a couple, because I think that's where a lot of couples fall apart, is instead of growing together, they grow apart. And so looking at realistically like what does our day to day look like as opposed to you know, you're in this fairy tale.

00:13:31
Speaker 2: Where you're going on these.

00:13:32
Speaker 4: Elaborate dates and you know, such high stakes, being able to ground yourself and look at, Okay, how does everything fit with my family, her family, where we're living.

00:13:43
Speaker 2: Would she be willing to move? Am I willing to move? You know? Just kind of becoming a little more realistic.

00:13:49
Speaker 1: But I don't know that's that's tough anybody else.

00:13:53
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think I think what Spencer said is true. Those like logistical things are important. But even like when you're deciding between two girls, I think it's I go even a little simpler and broader.

00:14:05
Speaker 9: It's like, who do I.

00:14:07
Speaker 10: Want to do nothing with? Like at the end of the day, Like, yeah, dates, our fun trips are fun, butlake, who don't want to just like sit on a couch and silence with? Like who's going to be that person with me for like forty years.

00:14:18
Speaker 9: When we're like doing nothing?

00:14:20
Speaker 2: Yeah?

00:14:20
Speaker 10: And who like between those two girls, like you really feel at home with? Like that's that's where i'd go.

00:14:27
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:14:27
Speaker 8: And another thing, I think I think everybody's got like a set of non negotiables and a set of principles that they'll stand on in a relationship. And I think in that moment, if he gets to that tough decision, he's got to think of his relationship with both women coming across each of those principles and each of those non negotiables. Will we argue over X, Y and Z, Will we both enjoy this that whatever that is for him and kind of let his gut make the decision. That's tough, that's a very tough call to make. But you got to maybe like close his eyes and just think about himself, think about himself woman and both of those women in those moments, and hopefully it comes up with.

00:15:04
Speaker 2: Something good luck to him. That's what that's what's going down for me.

00:15:08
Speaker 7: I would think about it is I know one of the things that me and him connected on is our families weren't the most I would say, functional families.

00:15:15
Speaker 3: We come from a little bit more broken families.

00:15:17
Speaker 7: I know he has like a I'm not going to speak on, you know, his relationship with his father and everything, but I know one of the most important things for him is to become a father and have a family of his own. And I have a healthy family and kind of cut off like generational curses and so forth. So I would say, like looking at it like deeper in like twenty years from now, thirty years from now, who would I want to be the mother of my kids, and like, who would possess the same values and morals that would be able to like help me raise my kids to be the best men or best women that they can be in the you know.

00:15:48
Speaker 3: In the world.

00:15:49
Speaker 7: So I think that's for me, That's what I think about, you know, when I'm getting married, like I'm starting a family, So I just think about my kids and who would be in my opinion, who would be the best mother. I'm sure both of the ladies if he does fall in love with two ladies, would be phenomenal mothers. But the type of parenting style that would be affected for both of you guys in the sex right, because everyone.

00:16:10
Speaker 3: Has different kind of techniques on how they parent.

00:16:14
Speaker 7: If you say, like, so, I think if you find somebody who's going to be on the same like wavelength, the same kind of just mindset on like how parenting and what they want for their families, do.

00:16:31
Speaker 5: You think And I mean, look, anything's possible. But when he goes into being the bachelor, where any of you, like, I could definitely see him falling for more than one person or like, no, I really don't expect him to do that like we're you being pulled one way another.

00:16:47
Speaker 9: Yeah.

00:16:47
Speaker 10: I mean to me, he seems like or maybe it's just me, like I'm a tunnel vision type of guy, and I thought he was sort of the same way. But I guess we find out.

00:16:57
Speaker 5: I feel like I feel like he's screaming, like fall in love with like seven girls.

00:17:03
Speaker 6: About to fall like everyone.

00:17:05
Speaker 7: Yeah, Grant is a love That boy falls in love and he falls quick.

00:17:12
Speaker 3: That boy's a motion.

00:17:15
Speaker 9: One for one person.

00:17:16
Speaker 6: Like nine girls gonna catch his eye and he's going to be like all in.

00:17:21
Speaker 3: He's not, I'm sorry.

00:17:23
Speaker 8: Go ahead until I also think he's really intentional about what he's doing. And I think I think someone's gonna fall in love with just anybody if you don't really have a purpose. I think he really wants to find love, so he's gonna look for it and he's gonna find it.

00:17:35
Speaker 2: He's not gonna just say that I love you, I love you, I love you and not mean it.

00:17:39
Speaker 3: I don't think I'll get no.

00:17:41
Speaker 2: No, he's actually gotta fall in love with a lot of them.

00:17:44
Speaker 7: I bet you, I will bet you my my life savings that Grant will fall in love with two women at the end, I will bet you that as his best friend, I will tell you that who is not seven.

00:17:56
Speaker 5: When I say seven, I don't think he's actually gonna fall love women.

00:18:01
Speaker 7: Yeah, like your wild she's not serious, but two women at the end when he has to propose to both of them, he's gonna be tor up.

00:18:09
Speaker 1: Do you think there's a chance that Do you think there's a chance he doesn't fall in love?

00:18:16
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's yeah, no, yeah for sure.

00:18:22
Speaker 1: What do you think? What do you what do you think are some red flags for Grant when it comes to women?

00:18:29
Speaker 3: Drama, drama, drop, he hates.

00:18:33
Speaker 1: That's not great.

00:18:34
Speaker 2: He was, Yeah, he was.

00:18:37
Speaker 4: Not great, but he was like I think Kaking was just saying he was Switzerland. When we were all in the house, he was the one playing devil's advocate for people that we were like, no, this guy sucks. So yeah, I think drama, especially drama with other girls in the house, will probably be a no go for him.

00:18:59
Speaker 5: I'm always interested in that because I think there's a lot of women too. But there's a lot of men that are like, I hate drama, But sometimes that doesn't mean that they're tolerance for their partner's drama is low. So like, I mean, I'm curious to see how he feels about women coming to him because he is a very compassionate person, so you can see him also like giving a lot of empathy towards the women, being like I'm.

00:19:24
Speaker 6: Having a hard time and like this isn't going well.

00:19:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, great question.

00:19:29
Speaker 1: All four of you could potentially be in paradise and some of grants women could be in paradise. Are you going to judge them off of what you see on the television or will you give them a chance when you're there, Like, if there's someone that let's let's just say someone's labeled the villain, is that going to be in the back of your mind when you're in paradise.

00:19:56
Speaker 9: I don't think so.

00:19:56
Speaker 8: I think I think you got to get another person before you just cast like ready judgment. Because here's the thing. We say, talk do a lot, so you never know, you never know.

00:20:08
Speaker 4: I would I would like to say no, but come on, yeah, it's gonna be in the back of your mind for sure.

00:20:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you.

00:20:16
Speaker 7: But you.

00:20:18
Speaker 9: Though no that I don't think.

00:20:22
Speaker 2: You know.

00:20:22
Speaker 10: The show can get edited, a lot of stuff can get cut out, like.

00:20:25
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, but no, no, no, no, no, because what you say on camera is what they have on cameras. So you can't get to be a person that you're not if you said something here but like but.

00:20:37
Speaker 1: You but you only but you potentially only see ten percent of who the person is.

00:20:44
Speaker 4: But yeah, it's definitely go to be in the back of your mind like it. It doesn't have to be like you don't have to cast any judgment. You can still get to know the person, but it's definitely gonna be in the back of your mind, like if you see it, it's going to be it's gonna be sitting there like you saw it, you know.

00:20:58
Speaker 2: Absolutely absolutely the sale, end all judgment.

00:21:02
Speaker 1: No, yeah, I agree. I think that's I think that's the way to do it. Are you guys all comfortable with your reputation if going into Paradise, if you are all were all to go with what everyone's.

00:21:15
Speaker 7: Seen of you, I mean sure, I would say yes, But I don't want any more spiders.

00:21:22
Speaker 3: That's about it.

00:21:23
Speaker 7: Like that's cool, Like I'm cool with like what how like what you guys think of me?

00:21:27
Speaker 1: But I spider, you're definitely getting spiders.

00:21:30
Speaker 2: Why would that? What do you mean?

00:21:35
Speaker 7: Don't say that I gotta tell them what I don't and don't want. So I'm gonna tell them I don't want that ship.

00:21:42
Speaker 2: You're right, that's gonna work. That's gonna work. Keep doing.

00:21:44
Speaker 4: You guys know what I'm terrified of. I'm terrified of finding my life partner and my perfect person I could spend forever with.

00:21:50
Speaker 2: It scares the ship out of me. It's terrifying. I can't deal with it.

00:21:55
Speaker 10: That.

00:21:55
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I just couldn't do it.

00:21:58
Speaker 7: Psychologist, so scared, Serena, Can I can I say something?

00:22:03
Speaker 1: Yeah?

00:22:03
Speaker 7: So I was watching because I've been watching back the later seasons, So like, first of all, I thought you were black.

00:22:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then your mom added me on Instagram.

00:22:12
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:22:12
Speaker 7: Mom, and missus by the way, she's a total doll. Mom's total doll. And she's a total babe too. She's gorgeous. But I just don't want to know it. I had no clue you were half Indian. So I just I just think everybody needs to know that because people think.

00:22:28
Speaker 1: I do mention it.

00:22:29
Speaker 6: I do talk about my Wait, you're not black. I know I talk about.

00:22:35
Speaker 5: My Indian culture, but I just don't appear half Indian.

00:22:40
Speaker 6: I do a lot. A lot of people think I'm half black.

00:22:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know.

00:22:45
Speaker 7: I I definitely did some creeping so I definitely did some digging with the family tree.

00:22:49
Speaker 2: So are you.

00:22:49
Speaker 7: Literally family on my Instagram? Loved the fam Just wanted to give a shout out to you, but yeah I did.

00:22:56
Speaker 3: I didn't not know you were half Indian until your mom ANDed me.

00:22:59
Speaker 5: So I'm glad you're lived in. I'm glad that. I'm glad that's out there now.

00:23:04
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you for that. You know what, hell is great? Thank you? What about Okay, Grant Grant, what about his rapping abilities and like now we're seeing spoilers where he's like he's giving me a little like R and B nineties kind of vibe here.

00:23:24
Speaker 9: Well, I'll speak on this.

00:23:26
Speaker 10: There was a there's a piano in our like living room in New Zealand.

00:23:32
Speaker 9: That dude is talented.

00:23:34
Speaker 10: I would just be like sitting it would be like me and maybe I don't know, like Jonathan in the room. Grant would come in and you just start like riffing on the piano and just like lyrics. I'm like, yo, you're amazing at this. Like he's I don't know how to any of the cross like on on TV and like what they're gonna do with that, But like in the trailer he's playing, uh, he's playing a song on the piano. He wrote that during our Oh.

00:23:57
Speaker 6: Yeah, we sensed that that was an original and original for sure.

00:24:01
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then on any bus ride whenever we were freestyle wrapping, Grant was the ringleader for any of it. Super talented.

00:24:12
Speaker 2: I did not freestyling, but granted, he's really good.

00:24:16
Speaker 10: I feel like they.

00:24:17
Speaker 6: Need to show because.

00:24:19
Speaker 5: He's clearly a naturally musical person and he's passionate about music. He's like expressing himself through different like instruments and vocals and all these things. I just think they need to show it in a way that doesn't come across as kind of cringey, because like, if they just show me, I think he could potentially I haven't seen the season yet, but I think it can potentially come across when you're watching it as like, ooh is this cool or is this an awkward moment? Like if I'm in the room for it, But like if you guys are all on a bus and you're just freestyling and having a good time and he jumps in and he like say, then that's cool.

00:24:58
Speaker 6: Cool, but when like, I like, they get to show.

00:25:01
Speaker 5: It in a more like organic way so it doesn't feel like someone's thrown him at a piano and be like, hey man, go sing to that girl that you love.

00:25:07
Speaker 1: I think they will. I mean he's the only guy on I mean remember so now he's got a lot.

00:25:13
Speaker 9: Of yeah there the lead.

00:25:15
Speaker 5: Yes, And I thought it was like when he came out of the limo and his wrap to gen we were all like, where is this going?

00:25:21
Speaker 6: And then I was like, oh no, like this was actually like he came across really great. So I'm curious to see how looks.

00:25:26
Speaker 1: Could could each of you. John will start with you give us a fact about Grant that the viewers may not know.

00:25:36
Speaker 8: Grant can probably moon walk better than a lot of a lot.

00:25:40
Speaker 2: Of people, you know. But oh, y'all saw that. Y'all saw them when we were thundered down under it.

00:25:43
Speaker 1: I didn't know that, so that counts.

00:25:45
Speaker 2: That counts well yeah, yeah, everybody else.

00:25:47
Speaker 8: Everybody else is worried about embarrassing themselves. Here he goes walking out on stage like coolest dude you'll ever meet.

00:25:53
Speaker 2: So there's my fact.

00:25:55
Speaker 11: Hakeem, Mom, let's think I had Jeremy.

00:26:08
Speaker 12: I'll Grant's actually a super philosophical person where we'd just be like in the room and he'd like throw out these scenarios like civilization type philosophy questions and he'll like, he'll really try.

00:26:28
Speaker 9: To engage people.

00:26:30
Speaker 10: And yeah, he's he's very philosophical.

00:26:33
Speaker 3: He's a Dominican and Jamaican.

00:26:37
Speaker 2: The sec.

00:26:38
Speaker 3: How is that something that no one would know because you don't know that.

00:26:42
Speaker 6: I didn't know that.

00:26:43
Speaker 1: I mean, no one even knew Serena was Indian. So I trust trust to.

00:26:50
Speaker 6: Checking people's back cross.

00:26:54
Speaker 3: Like what I mean, I know it's anyways.

00:26:57
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would just say Grant's just incredibly talented person.

00:27:01
Speaker 2: We've been over the.

00:27:03
Speaker 4: Musical talent that he has, moonwalking, and he can also gritty. I mean, he's just got he's got dance much for days, he can sing, he can I mean, just a super talented guy and I'm excited to see.

00:27:15
Speaker 2: That shine on every Monday night.

00:27:18
Speaker 1: Right, do you guys think he's someone that could could potentially be blindsided as far as like falling for a woman who may not be as far as as far along as he thinks she is.

00:27:34
Speaker 9: I think I get to anyone.

00:27:38
Speaker 10: Be blindsided like love blondes.

00:27:41
Speaker 2: Yeah that's fair.

00:27:42
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think I think with him, he's a person that wants to get to know everybody, and he's willing to get anyone a fair shot.

00:27:48
Speaker 3: He doesn't look at just like looks.

00:27:49
Speaker 7: He kind of wants to get to know their souls, find if that's their soulmate. So I he has potential maybe getting blinded by love, and hopefully that doesn't happen. But I do think with his big heart, he wears his hard in the sleep. I think it's a very very very big possibility.

00:28:04
Speaker 5: Do you think Grant's red flags are like if like, oh, like if you were to warn the women about anything other?

00:28:11
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, what would you say his red.

00:28:13
Speaker 1: Warn some of these women about Grant gossip?

00:28:18
Speaker 2: I wouldn't.

00:28:18
Speaker 7: I just don't gossip. Don't if you have nothing good to say, just don't say it at all. I mean, he's gonna get picked out by the.

00:28:25
Speaker 1: No, no, we're saying that. We're saying the opposite way.

00:28:32
Speaker 6: You're gonna tell these Grant red flags.

00:28:36
Speaker 2: Got nothing Grant as a.

00:28:40
Speaker 3: Red flags? Oh he'll get a red flags.

00:28:44
Speaker 1: That's two guys, let's see Spencer, Jeremy, what do we got anything?

00:28:47
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're a offuly quiet down there.

00:28:49
Speaker 2: Oh no, yeah, no, I got red flag.

00:28:53
Speaker 4: Grant doesn't know how to pack accordingly because he almost had to use some of my clothes during GEN season.

00:28:59
Speaker 2: Some make sure make sure you're packing for the trips. But outside of that, I mean, you also had really nice clothes during the trip.

00:29:07
Speaker 8: He might have just been doing that to try to put on some of your drip, though, I don't know.

00:29:13
Speaker 2: In his defense, in his.

00:29:14
Speaker 1: Defense Jeremy, well, okay, grants red flags.

00:29:22
Speaker 9: Maybe timeliness.

00:29:25
Speaker 1: He's late, he's late to the party.

00:29:27
Speaker 5: He's gonna be real tired. They need to make sure they load him up with coffee and energy drinks.

00:29:32
Speaker 7: He doesn't have any red flags. He'll be on time for every day.

00:29:36
Speaker 1: Everyone's got everyone's got the flag. He's got something.

00:29:42
Speaker 13: Okay, Okay, you've got red flags, you guys.

00:29:56
Speaker 1: You guys have been you guys have been off GEN season for a decent amount of time. Now, have any of you gotten into relationship that maybe didn't last as Long's.

00:30:46
Speaker 4: No, hm hmm, it's just you know, awesome, awesome woman. The date was actually good. I'm just very narrowed down to focus on what I'm looking for. And I'm old, so I've dated a lot of people and I kind of know what works, what doesn't work, and there are some things that just might not have worked the long term.

00:31:06

00:31:08
Speaker 6: Term, So what's your dating life like?

Speaker 1: Because what is that? Because you know you're going on Paradise?

00:31:22

00:31:25
Speaker 3: I'm broke, and because yeah, I'm paradise too.

00:31:29
Speaker 7: Like to be honest with you, when you like meet a woman and you kind of exchange information and then they find out, oh, you go on another dating show to kind of be like, oh, so what's that going to be? Like? I just kind of just want to take you know, I don't, so I just don't want even want to take it there and then something comes down there like oh well me and the camebra, dam you're about to get married?

00:31:47
Speaker 3: Then he went on paradise.

00:31:48

Speaker 9: Yeah, I.

00:32:28
Speaker 10: Just started dating again, Like I wasn't dating for a long time after the show, partially because I didn't want to, partially because I was busy, But like, now that life's been settled, I'm starting to get it back.

00:32:38
Speaker 5: You guys have your eyes if you do or don't go to Paradise. Just past cast members current cast members from Grant season. Do you have your eye on anyone Keen. Last time you were here, you mentioned liv.

00:32:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I don't. I don't know her, but.

00:32:55
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean she's uh, I think she's gorgeous.

00:32:59
Speaker 3: She's absolutely gorgeous.

00:33:00
Speaker 7: I think she has a personality that can probably match mine, and I think she can keep up with me, maybe can like kind of humble me a little bit, kind of like bring me down to her. So yeah, I'm kind of looking forward to possibly meeting her and Alex. To Alex, I get if he's not engaged to uh, to.

00:33:17
Speaker 3: Grant, you.

00:33:21
Speaker 7: Have a chance what possibly? But I want the best for him. So if it's her, I love that for him, you know so?

00:33:28
Speaker 1: But yeah, Okay, so let's say let's say let's just let's say that Alex goes really fine in the season and Grant breaks her heart and then you meet her and she's like, I still have feelings for Grant. What would you say about Grant to make her be like I no longer like him? You have to talk, you have to talk a little shit about Grant. What would you say, because now you're trying to date this girl? Is that I know I'm just thrown it out there.

00:33:57
Speaker 7: I mean, well, it's my best friend, so like if they made it to the point that he's like in love with her, probably not going to talk to her to keep it one hundred percent honest with you.

00:34:08
Speaker 14: But that because there's a girl on Grand Season that actually went on a date with my brother, so I couldn't who is this.

00:34:19
Speaker 2: Girl it is? It was lat Yeah, that's where I'm from.

00:34:31

Speaker 6: Yeah, but what happened?

00:34:51
Speaker 2: Why?

00:34:51
Speaker 6: I know, second date? You know I should and then let us know I haven't.

00:34:57
Speaker 2: I haven't done. He wasn't even one that told me. Producers told me because she had.

00:35:03
Speaker 6: Mentioned it interesting. Are you close with your brother?

00:35:06
Speaker 2: Well?

Speaker 5: He was like, hey, man, you know that show you went really far on. I actually went on a day with a girl who's on it now.

00:35:23
Speaker 2: No, No, he never said anything. He has to know, right, you know what, he doesn't.

00:35:29
Speaker 6: He might not.

00:35:31
Speaker 4: Yeah, if he doesn't, he's not reality TV guy. Yeah, he got a kick out of me being on the show. I heard that from my brothers. So maybe he has no clue, so he doesn't.

00:35:44
Speaker 6: He doesn't follow the show. It's still early.

00:35:46
Speaker 1: John, not you because you're potentially dating someone, but Spencer, Jeremy. Any names you would want to throw out or be willing to throw out that you are interested in.

00:35:57
Speaker 9: Yeah, probably that girl.

00:35:58
Speaker 5: Look at Lewis, you know, are you saying that because he's looking so mad at you right now?

00:36:06
Speaker 3: That's exactly no.

00:36:08
Speaker 10: No, no specific names. Also, like the goals to not go on Paradise, I'd love to meet someone before then.

00:36:17
Speaker 7: So so wait, So so Maria goes on Paradise and she's like, yo, I want to meet Jermy.

00:36:21
Speaker 1: You go to put their friends they know each other.

00:36:26
Speaker 3: But that's what I'm saying.

00:36:27
Speaker 7: If they went on Paradise and she's like, you know what, I want to get to know them on a romantic level, You're not going to want to get to know anybody specifically on a romantic level.

00:36:34
Speaker 9: Ill say, like, you could have texted me.

00:36:40
Speaker 1: Okay, by Spencer, how about you?

00:36:46
Speaker 4: I mean, the producers do their job, and everyone that's on the show is gorgeous, and I'm kind of an in person. Get to know them, see if we vibe, if we work well together. As we've mentioned already, they can only show so many assets of someone's personality, So I guess we just have to go and see who I gravitate towards, who gravitates towards me, and kind of go from there.

00:37:10
Speaker 3: Ooh boo, you guys are boring, boo boo.

00:37:17
Speaker 5: I kind of predicted that was the only one to throw a name. I would have been shocked if spensor Jeremy thread.

00:37:24
Speaker 1: Keim's got backups to He's got about seven more names to people will throw out.

00:37:31
Speaker 7: There's girls that attracted to there's girls that you would see and you're like, oh, she's beautiful. You had kept every audacity like, yes, she's gorgeous. I wouldn't mind seeing her on the beach. It's not They're gonna be like, you can only talk to that girl now that you mentioned her on I'm gonna talk to everybody and get to my subjected to just one person if you say the person's name man, you feel me.

00:37:59
Speaker 3: Like I'm watching I'm just the pot.

00:38:03
Speaker 2: I don't know who's gonna be there.

00:38:05
Speaker 7: Okay, so you don't know who Grant's girls are, but you know Dad is your homie. You don't you know what t Dad is your brother, but you don't know the girl.

00:38:12
Speaker 9: We have one picture of girl.

00:38:15
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I'm just throwing the pot too. You are my boy, these are these are my guys?

00:38:24
Speaker 2: You too, James.

00:38:25
Speaker 3: You're not You're not You're.

00:38:27
Speaker 9: Not a single.

00:38:28
Speaker 3: So no, no, no, no, no, hold on, hold on, hold on, no.

00:38:30
Speaker 1: Hold on Now you're not taking all right, John, But do you want to Is there is there someone that you would throw I mean you would throw out that. I didn't want to put you in that situation, but your friend's doing it.

00:38:37
Speaker 2: So no, and no, there's nobody that would throw out like we would have to. We would have to see, we would have to see if you got.

00:38:53
Speaker 6: Gonna say you throw the girl, make sure she looks liked. Go to the girl that you're dating.

00:38:56
Speaker 1: Right now, I came you sent You're out of roll and just going to start with you. Is there anything that you've learned about yourself in the in the dating world, since being on Gen season that you may have changed.

00:39:11
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think I'm a people pleaser, so like I've learned that about myself, so I kind of value the person more than I value myself. So I put everything into that person and then there's nothing left for me in that situation. And that's a big problem for me just in life is in general, like my friends, I put everything, everything in my friends, my family, and then I kind of have nothing left for myself. I don't think that's very healthy for me. I know that's certain things that I have to work on, and I know there's reasons why that happens, but yeah, I think that's the most important thing is to make sure not to lose myself when I'm in a relationship and not just put all and everything just into that person. Because I am a person too that needs my love and my energy and my time too, So I just need to make time for myself as well and my goals and what I want.

00:39:58
Speaker 1: And I humble brag, You're just a self, this wonderful man who just I know you that I can see I see you taking it like, wow, that's so sweet, that's so that's so nice.

00:40:13
Speaker 3: Joe Hey, listen, you're pushing hockey.

00:40:16
Speaker 1: You're pushing all your friends right now, and I'm enjoying it. But somebody's gotta fun with you a little bit.

00:40:26
Speaker 7: Jeremy on a daily basis, fucks with me every day every week.

00:40:32
Speaker 6: This one podcast.

00:40:33
Speaker 7: Send us lyrics to songs that we don't give a fuck about you as his background background, Uh my best friends to all about the rest of you guys, anything that anything.

00:40:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, push their nerves no, go ahead, go ahead, Johnny, you go for ut. I was gonna say, pushed them nervous.

00:41:00
Speaker 8: I mean a lot of times I was nervous to tell and I would let it like get in my head a little bit. But having gone through like what we experienced on the show, it's like, you push through, you're gonna have a great time regardless of just beat itself.

00:41:12
Speaker 2: That's what I learned.

00:41:12
Speaker 8: I took that away and I feel like it's it's it's helping me kind of thrive, not only dating, but like in.

00:41:17
Speaker 6: Life, like Spencer, you're up.

00:41:22
Speaker 4: My time on the show has shown me how valuable my time is, and I just don't want to waste any time dating. I know what I want, know what I'm looking for, So I'm not just going to go on dates to go on dates, which I had done previously.

00:41:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just putting a lot more.

00:41:40
Speaker 4: Thought into how I spend my time with people and making sure that the time that I spend with people is with people that I want my life long term. And that's extends to friendships as well. You know, obviously these guys on the call are guys that I want my life for a long time, so I spend time talking with them, But there have been other people that, you know, I don't see myself knowing them for very longer, wanting to spend time with them or being interested.

00:42:11
Speaker 2: So just being selective with my time.

00:42:13
Speaker 1: Jeremy, how about you?

00:42:14
Speaker 2: Yeah?

00:42:15
Speaker 10: Yeah, Like two things. One something that I was trying to like work on even before the show, and the show just helped like speed that up. Is just how important communication is. Like obviously on the show you need to not not force it, but like it's it's a small timeline. You only get so much time, so you really need to learn how to how to communicate very openly. And then just like in dating in general, like I'm so I mentioned this before, but I'm so tunnel vision like I don't. I don't like every girl, but then when I like a girl, like I want to be with you, I want to spend time with you. So it's more about like me trying to set like personal like boundaries, like self control, like if I like you, I want to see you every day.

00:42:55
