Starting point is 00:00:00 This is an I-Heart podcast. My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly, and now I'm seriously suspicious. Wait a minute, Sam. Maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit. Well, Dakota, luckily, it's back to school week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon. This person writes, my boyfriend's been hanging out with his young professor a lot. He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her. Now he's insisting we get to know each other, but I just want her gone.

I just totally got lost because, well, last time we had you on, we were in L.A. Yeah, we were in studio in L.A. And I grilled you guys with some questions that I don't think you've been asked before. So if people haven't listened to that episode, they definitely should check it out because I think I got some tea out of both of you all that people had not heard.
Starting point is 00:02:51 You asked me a question. I think like the first question you asked me, I was like, where the fuck did you find that? It's like the deepest dive you ever took on someone within Batonation that you've had to like really go down a rabbit hole and you're like, how did I get here? It was honestly probably that one with you two was probably the deepest dive I've ever done. But I feel like I'm doing those pretty regularly, especially with some of the leads from early seasons that like I didn't necessarily watch in real time. I will just find myself sometimes down like a rabbit hole. I'll find myself everywhere being like, wow, I didn't know that. I didn't know like so yeah I go on bachelor deep dives on the daily it's part of my job quite literally
Starting point is 00:03:31 i believe it well for our listeners uh danny what can they find on bachelornation dot com because for those of you guys that don't know danny basically runs bachelornation dot com it's like your one stop shop for everything bachelor so can you give us a little shameless plug there of course it's got the latest bachelor nation news we have exclusive interviews with some of the leads with anyone who's kind of had big moments lately. We chat with people who have had weddings, who have had babies. You can sign up to be in the audience there. So if you have ever wanted to come to men tell all, women tell all after the final rose, that is the place to do it. You could also apply to be on the show. That is literally where you apply if you are interested in being on, I don't know, maybe the golden
Starting point is 00:04:12 bachelorette, maybe next season of The Bachelor. Get yourself a little application on the apply page on bachelornation.com. I also keep you guys updated with all the big announcements. We get them Like in real time, like when Joan was announced as the Golden Bachelorette, boom, it was up on the front page of bachelornation.com. So I know there are lots of fan accounts and things out there. This is the official show page from the producers of the show. I run it. We get all of the exclusives, all the latest news. So check us out over there.
Starting point is 00:04:41 When one does apply to be on one of the shows, is there a tip that you could give them right now that makes an application somewhat stand out? Oh, that's a good question. You know, I love when people apply themselves and are like shameless about it. I know a lot of people get submitted by like friends, family, whoever, but I think it's really genuine when people apply themselves and like can be really honest and candid and like shameless about really looking for love. So I feel like just be yourself, do it yourself if it's something that you really want to do. I feel like that's probably the best advice I have.
Starting point is 00:05:17 I know a lot of people get on the show in a millions of different ways. Yeah. And I feel like I love hearing the stories about, I know Maria recently was talking about how she'd always really wanted to be on the show and like really wanted to find love or give herself the opportunity to find love in that way. I know Joan talked about being in a restaurant one night and looking around and seeing all these couples around her at the restaurant and then like going home that night and feeling called to apply herself.
Starting point is 00:05:41 So I feel like I love when people just like really put their heart into it and apply themselves. Again, I'm not on the casting team so I don't get to pick, but like I love getting to like hear those kinds of stories and see that. So yeah, just like, duh, always be yourself. But if you've ever been interested, apply, you know? I think that's great advice because I do think that in the recent years, there's so many stories of people either getting nominated or getting scouted on Instagram, on a dating app, Joe got scouted in a like a whole foods. And there is this like shame around applying for yourself of like, well, does that make, like, is that like not as cool as if someone like reaches out to me? But like, if you're interested in doing the show,
Starting point is 00:06:20 like what's the worst that could happen like you just don't get on the show like put yourself out there you never know what could happen i applied myself i mean to do i expect to hear back or plan on hearing back no but like look where we are now you're literally married yeah it worked out i'm gonna spill some tea i applied when i was like right after college and that's daddy so you never know my friends and i went to an in person casting like in i think we was in chicago because i went to school in Wisconsin. And I was like, you know what? We're just going to go and have a good time.
Starting point is 00:06:52 My whole group of friends are my sorority and I went. So you never know where it will take you. Now I work for the show. And I'm married and found love in my own way. But like it's just a fun experience. And yeah, you never know where it can take you. You could be like Joe and Serena and find the love of your life. You could be like me and somehow make your way back to the show in some way, shape,
Starting point is 00:07:12 or form. Nice. All right. Should we get into the imagination news? What we're going to break down. Yes. I know, Joe, you have some experience with this from Clickbait, the Bachelor Nation News of the week from back in the day. I do. And you know what? That was my favorite segment because I used to listen to Clickbait, especially like in the beginning of our relationship. I listened to every single episode like religiously. And I loved the Bachelor Nation News. Bachelor Nation Breakdown. Yeah. We're bringing it back. Bringing it back.
Starting point is 00:07:41 For our listeners, this episode, we're bringing back Bachelor Nation breakdown. And we have four articles within Bachelor nation that we're going to talk about. Yeah, some of the biggest news from this week. Yeah, there's always news going on in Bachelor Nation. But since we'll be diving into some of the big news stories coming out in Bachelor Nation and Danny is our Bachelor Nation news expert, we're going to let Danny take the wheel today and introduce these stories to you guys. Okay, so first up, there's a story that's been blowing up on social media.
Starting point is 00:08:10 If you guys know who Trista and Ryan Sutter are, hopefully you do. If you don't, they're our first Bachelorette couple. They have been married for over 20 years. They have two, I believe, high school-aged kids, a son and a daughter. They've been together forever, deeply in love, probably like the OG bachelor couple that people are obsessed with and ride for. Over the past couple of weeks, people have been concerned about Trista and her whereabouts because of some of Brian's social media activity. He has been posting these black and white kind of cryptic photos with really emotional captions, like missing her, feeling really sad, wishing he could. talk to her. And the comments from Bachelor Nation fans have been concerned. People are worried
Starting point is 00:08:55 did something happen to her? Is something going on in their relationship? Ryan has since clarified and said that she's okay. There is some speculation that she's either away on some sort of trip, or maybe she's filming some reality show. We don't really know exactly what's happening, but the posts are what do you guys think of a post? The post, I don't know if you've seen them, but they're really heavy. I think Joe like two days ago was like are you seeing I think it was even longer I think it was like well I saw yeah Joe was like seeing it on social media he's like
Starting point is 00:09:26 what is going on with this Tristan Ryan stuff and I was like oh I don't know like hopefully they're okay and then I saw the post when I read the article like from start to finish with all the captions and I don't follow Ryan on social media so I don't know what his like standard of posting is if this is like totally normal if this is a little bit unique for him.
Starting point is 00:09:49 But I was like, yeah, it's giving cryptic. Like, it's giving, it's giving she's not here for Mother's Day. She's still not here. I missed her. But like, where is she is the big question? I feel like on everyone's mind. And like, why can't he talk to her? And how long is she going to be gone for?
Starting point is 00:10:08 When is she going to be back? Like, it's very ambiguous, obviously. It's very emotion forward, but like zero facts about the situation. Zero details. I know. Joe, what did you think when you first saw it?
Starting point is 00:10:20 Yeah. Well, so I've met Ryan a few times in person. I mean, I don't know him too well, but just like we've met, we were, we actually met them.
Starting point is 00:10:31 I met her a few times, but we met them in L.A. when we all went to the Bachelor Mansion. For the Golden Bachelor finale. Yeah, just such a down to earth, just super chill, like really,
Starting point is 00:10:42 really nice guy. Yeah, he's great. So for, so to see. see those kind of posts, I would instantly think like something awful has happened. Because, yeah, like it's weird, like they're in black and white. And he doesn't really strike me as this type of Instagram poster, I guess, anyways. Like, that's not really his, that's not like what he's giving off.
Starting point is 00:11:08 So that's initially where my head went. But then I saw the rumors circulating that she's potentially on special. Forces which that's the rumor we don't know if that's true and that is more of an intense reality show so I guess if I match up those cryptic posts with potentially being on that show that makes more sense because like you said he's come out and already said like nothing's wrong with her so yeah special forces is a very intense show I mean we've seen like clips of it so I can imagine like if I was sitting at home and I couldn't talk to Joe and I knew he was on that show or any reality show can be an intensive filming process,
Starting point is 00:11:50 but that one is especially unique. I would probably be sitting at home with some anxiety about like what he's going through and not being able to talk to him and all of that. And it is the spring. I feel like a lot of reality shows film in the spring. So even if it's not special forces, I feel like it would add up if she was on something right now, filming something. But none of it's confirmed.
Starting point is 00:12:12 So we don't. Yeah, no. I heard rumors about like traitors as well. Yeah, I think Trader's films in the spring too. Yeah, obviously we don't know. There is another Bachelor at Allie Fedatowski Mano is also like away filming something right now. So people are like maybe they're together. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:12:27 But yeah, Ryan did come back, I believe like a day or two ago and said that he is not like a social media guy and that he was kind of just like posting his thoughts and that he usually just posts his dog and has a blue color job and this isn't his thing. So I think, yeah, he realized pretty. quickly that a lot of people still do follow him. And he was touched by the fact that people still really care. But yeah, some of the posts were quite sad, you know, and like I want to know how you're doing. I really wish I could talk to you. I want to know how your day was. I want to hear your voice. And he did clarify that they're okay, their marriage is okay. Everyone is fine. So I am
Starting point is 00:13:06 glad to hear that because I was concerned at first too before he kind of clarified because I think a lot of people had the same reaction as maybe Joe did at first, like, oh, this seems out of character for him. because it kind of started in like the beginning of this month and feels like it's carried on now through the month. And so, hey, I mean, if she's on a show like that, clearly she's doing well because she's still there. So that's good news. And if she's on some sort of like wellness vacation, like live,
Starting point is 00:13:33 I hope she's tracking. Yeah, retreat. If she's on something where it's like I'm disconnecting and I'm on a wellness tree. But you know what? I will say the post seem really cryptic until the fact that he's confirmed like nothing is wrong like she's okay everything's okay looking at them from a new perspective like they're really sweet like it's actually like so emotional seeing and hearing just like this love
Starting point is 00:13:56 and care that he still has for his wife after all these years just like missing talking to her every day like the things that he's saying knowing that they're not coming from a place of like they're in like something wrong is going on it's like oh wow that's like very touching I'm sure she's going to come back and see that and her heart's going to be so warm she did comment on one of them. She commented on the Mother's Day one with like hearts and crying emojis. I'm not sure if she did that herself or someone has her Instagram right now. Maybe someone was like, get in there and comment on this people think you're getting divorced.
Starting point is 00:14:27 But yeah, he did write something like that. He's like, I write what's on my mind at the moment. You know, I write about feelings without like regard for how they'll be interpreted on the internet. So he said, we're fine, just this fine. I just miss her. We miss her, which is sweet. I think it was paired with like the shift in aesthetic to black and white on his feed that like maybe got people nervous because when I see a black and white feed or a post
Starting point is 00:14:49 and feed my heart stops sometimes and I'm like oh god I hope everyone's okay like sometimes people post that when they are trying to share something more like solomon or sacked so totally yeah so I think that maybe it's because he seems to be going for like a new black and white vibe maybe on his Instagram though if you scroll back if you scroll back he kind of does have some black and white photos going on so I mean I also think it I also think it makes sense to that he could be somewhat desensitized from the fact that he does have a large Instagram following just because he's he's had it for so long and then like it happens to all of us where we kind of just fall in this trap of posting what like we usually post and
Starting point is 00:15:27 there's not like the social media engagement isn't as high but then all of a sudden when you do post something that people are like whoa what's going on you realize oh shit like a lot of people just saw that. It's the same thing as when Serene I talk about like, oh, I said that on the podcast. I didn't realize people listen. Yeah. When you're doing something so frequently, sometimes you get desensitized to the amount of people that are paying attention to it. And yeah, having met him, he really just seems like this like down to earth normal dude. I think there are people in this world, not in like a negative way, but maybe we'll be like, ooh, like let's play into the fact that she's gone, like stir the pot a little bit, like have people talking. And that can be a fun game.
Starting point is 00:16:08 to play but like he's not that dude so i feel like he was just like sharing his emotions sharing his feelings probably forgot that so many people are still like paying attention to him in his relationship and was like damn i really struck a chord with my followers yeah i think we just got to keep in mind um because i've met tristan ryan too that like he's like a 50 year old dad who lives in colorado you know what i mean like think about how they use social media i don't think he thinks about the fact that there are like 200,000 people nearly who follow him. So, yeah, that's, that's kind of what's going on there. I just wanted to clear up all as good with Trista and Ryan.
Starting point is 00:16:46 We are excited to see what she's been up to when she comes back. I'm excited to see like what he posts when they reunite because I'm sure it will also be really sweet and emotional given how, I don't know, thoughtful he's been with these posts while she's gone. So yeah, yeah, if you, I think if you remember from the time on the show, he would like write her love letters and stuff too. And so this is in line with what he does. He's like an expressive person.
Starting point is 00:17:09 Maybe that's his love language. Yeah. Yeah. And I will say like when Joe went and filmed The Goat, which is out right now in Amazon Prime, he filmed it last year. He was gone for quite a while and I could talk to him very like infrequently. And it does make you like kind of like I can relate to Ryan in that way of being like, oh, like I miss him.
Starting point is 00:17:30 Like I want to talk to him. I can't. So like, yeah, wherever I'm excited to see the reunion of these two after. being gone, because she's going to come back and be like, whoa, like, what did I miss? Yeah, I hope it wasn't one of those things where, like, he wasn't supposed to say that she was away. No, for real. I'm sure the last thing on Trista's Bingo card was coming back to Ryan stirring up Instagram drama. Like, people worry.
Starting point is 00:17:55 Yeah, truly, especially knowing him, it's like, what? She's like, you know, I'm worried about, like, her daughter getting to dance on time versus, like, Ryan talking about her being gone on Instagram. Totally. Totally. I love it. Yeah, well, that's the block to Trista with whatever she's doing, and we look forward to their reunion. My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly, and now I'm seriously suspicious. Well, wait a minute, Sam, maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit.
Starting point is 00:18:22 Well, Dakota, it's back to school week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon. This person writes, my boyfriend has been hanging out with his young professor a lot. He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her. Now, he's insisting we get to know each other, but I just want her gone. Now, hold up. Isn't that against school policy? That sounds totally inappropriate. Well, according to this person, this is her boyfriend's former professor and they're the same age.
Starting point is 00:18:45 It's even more likely that they're cheating. He insists there's nothing between them. I mean, do you believe him? Well, he's certainly trying to get this person to believe him because he now wants them both to meet. So, do we find out if this person's boyfriend really cheated with his professor or not? To hear the explosive finale, listen to the OK Storytime podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I never envision being with a woman. I'll just be honest.
Starting point is 00:19:08 I'm Jamel Hill, host of the Sports and Politics Podcasts, Politics. On this week's episode, I'm joined by basketball legend, Candice Parker, who stops by to discuss her candid new book, The Can Do Mindset, in which she shares why she waited two years into marriage to come out. Like, when I close my eyes at night, every night, I was like, I need to find my prince charming. Like, it was never a princess. Like, that never entered into my mind.
Starting point is 00:19:35 But, you know, as I learned, sometimes life gives you things wrapped in a package that you didn't expect it. And that was just, you know, and honestly, it took me a long time to be okay with myself. Make sure to listen to this week's episode of Spolitics on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Imagine that you're on an airplane and all of a sudden you hear this. Attention passengers. The pilot is having an emergency, and we need someone, anyone, to land this plane. Think you could do it? It turns out that nearly 50% of men think that they could land the plane with the help of air traffic control. And they're saying like, okay, pull this, do this, pull that, turn this. It's just... I can do it in my eyes closed.
Starting point is 00:20:26 I'm Mani. I'm Noah. This is Devon. And on our new show, no such thing. We get to the bottom of questions like these. Join us as we talk to the leading expert on overconfidence. Those who lack expertise lack the expertise they need to recognize that they lack expertise. And then as we try the whole thing out for real. Wait, what? Oh, that's the run right.
Starting point is 00:20:49 I'm looking at this thing. Listen to no such thing on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Okay, so our next thing. story is about our beloved Rachel Nance from Joey's season of The Bachelor. I did want to note for those of you that are listening, there are some mentions of sensitive topics regarding sexual assault. So if that is not something that you are comfortable listening to, maybe just fast forward a couple of minutes, skip ahead. Just want to put that out there because Rachel did talk about her journey with sexual assault and the hate that she received online during
Starting point is 00:21:28 Joey's season airing of the show. She also talked about opening up about her family. beautiful culture and the unfortunate backlash she received after that while the show was filming in a really beautiful touching essay that she penned for Today.com. She wrote about it, I believe, like, in some sort of like celebration of AAPI Heritage Month and also just like a celebration of her time on the show coming to an end. So I'm not sure if both of you had a chance to read it yet, but it was really touching and moving. And she talked about how her experience with sexual assault led her to becoming a nurse, which she really just wanted to help people. And her time on the show, her purpose going into the show was to find love. And then she kind of, through the
Starting point is 00:22:11 process, recognized that her purpose was greater. And her purpose was to help people, including herself, embrace herself as she is, embrace her culture, embrace her beauty, embrace her heritage. So it was a really beautiful essay. I really do encourage everyone who's listening if they haven't read it in full to read it in full because Rachel's an incredible human and getting to hear the words from her is really special but i just wanted to like bring it up here today so we could shine a light on her yeah absolutely um we had her on happy hour and she was she was one of my favorite guests from definitely from joey season um and she had gone through a lot and we had her right off of right off of the show and she was receiving so much unnecessary hate um that we
Starting point is 00:22:56 we did address on the podcast but yeah i i i just thought she She was so personable and just such a warm and nice person. So, yeah, I mean, I think Rachel's great. Yeah, I liked the messaging about what her purpose going on the show was versus when she came off, how that perspective has changed. Because I think so many people go on the show with that same intention of like, well, my purpose is to hopefully find love. My purpose is to make connections or, you know, to travel and put myself in a unique situation. And I think that everyone probably comes off the show with a different understanding of maybe what their purpose was or how the show played a role in their life and their growth that they weren't expecting. I kind of want to start asking people that on the podcast because I do think it's like a really insightful thing that she brought up about like that change in purpose and perspective first from going on the show versus like coming off of it.
Starting point is 00:23:55 because I also think it's very similar going on, but everyone comes off with such a greater, more unique purpose than they expected to. And I think for her, it's like, like, it would have been really easy for her to just be like, I'm heartbroken and I'm not getting, you know, she's getting love, but I'm also getting hate on social media and for it just kind of to be an overall negative experience. Yeah, like through this, I didn't end up finding love and now I'm getting verbally abused on the internet. So the fact that she was able to turn it around and do it so quickly and then and be like, yeah, and I actually did have a purpose for being on this show. And then this is how I'm going to use it.
Starting point is 00:24:36 I think is the healthiest and the best way you can go about it. Yeah, it was really reflective. She talked about that conversation that she had about the purpose with one of the shows therapists that they provide. And she talked about how like this wasn't the first experience that she had experiencing racism. but like she got so emotional during the women tell all because she felt like it kind of all came up from her whole life all at once. And for the first time with like all of the women from her season and the people in the audience rallying around her, she's like for the first time I didn't feel alone. You know what I mean in that moment? And I think it was really beautiful to see and it was cool to see her kind of
Starting point is 00:25:15 discover that purpose in real time almost. And I think that's why she had so many feelings in the moment and has been able to continue to share in such a yeah, polished, beautiful, elegant way after and take such a positive from a really difficult thing to go through that, like Joe said, could have led her to kind of have maybe regrets about going on the show. But in the essay, she wrote that she has no regrets about going on the show. And I think about so many others who have gone on the show. Like, I know Abigail just released or announced that she's releasing her book, which is so incredible because, like, she went on the show looking for love just like everybody else
Starting point is 00:25:50 and ended up finding love on Paradise. but I don't think she realized how many people she was going to touch, not only in the death and hearing loss community, but just disability community overall. And I think about like the impact that someone like Rachel has right now and will continue to have for many years to come with so many people who see themselves in her or see parts of themselves in her
Starting point is 00:26:12 and maybe we'll feel more brave, maybe we'll feel stronger, maybe we'll, yeah, just feel empowered by her being able to take something that was negative and turn it into a positive. You know, I love, love, love our Bachelor Nation fans. They're like why we all get to continue to do what we do. But it is also a continued reminder that these are real people who are like having real life experiences. And I think Rachel really reminded us of that this time around.
Starting point is 00:26:37 Like her family opening up and showing their culture so beautifully on the show was a brave thing to do and a really awesome thing to do and an educational thing to do for so many people who haven't been exposed to her family's background that I think. It's a reminder that we should be like celebrating that and embracing that. And the fact that she had to, you know, even like put safety filters on her Instagram for certain words is such a shame. That's not what any of this is about, you know, like we want to be lifting these people up. And so I was really glad that Rachel had the platform to do so because she did it in such a,
Starting point is 00:27:10 yeah, beautiful way that I could have never. So. Yeah. I agree. I agree. Agreed. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:27:16 We are going to shift gears. Another friend of ours from Joey's season. our girl, Daisy, has gone public with a new, new-ish, I suppose, relationship, new old relationship, okay? So she, just this past week, I believe, has revealed that she officially has reconnected with her college boyfriend. His name is Thor. And she talked about it on. Which is wild. What?
Starting point is 00:27:44 His name is wild. His name is Thor. Oh, and he doesn't look like a Thor. I've seen photos. Well, there's only one Thor that anyone knows. A Colin or like a Jacob. Yeah, like something like, yeah, his parents must be like really cool. And also to have named someone Thor like that many years ago,
Starting point is 00:28:00 they must have been like a big Marvel fan or something. Do you think it's like based on Marvel? I don't know where else the name. Yeah, I don't know where else the name comes from. Like Thor is, yeah, the Marvel character. Is there like? When I hear Thor, I think of, yeah, you think of Chris Hemsworth. I think of Chris Hemsworth.
Starting point is 00:28:16 No, for sure. That's the only thing I'm picturing when I hear Thor. I mean, he must have heard. this his whole life. Like, yeah. Yeah. I would dress up as Thor every year for Halloween if I was half. Just like, you've got to.
Starting point is 00:28:30 So easy. They went to San Diego State University together. I think that she talked about it a little bit on Beckettilia and Tanya Rad scrubbing in podcast. She did mention that they reconnected. She had been talking like a little more vaguely about someone she had reconnected with from her past or she was dating again. But she confirmed with them that it is Thor.
Starting point is 00:28:49 He is like a member of. a famous racing family, like off-road kind of racing. And I believe that's what he does with his life, too. I don't know exactly what his career is. Like car racing? Like, yeah. Yeah, like off-road. Like off-roading, like ATV.
Starting point is 00:29:05 Yeah, that kind of stuff. That seems to be what... Well, ATVing is different than race cars. It's not a car. It looks like these like monster trucky kind of things. Oh, okay. Like on the dirt, though, you know? I'm not like an expert in car chings,
Starting point is 00:29:20 but it's what's on his Instagram. Okay. And yeah, so we don't know a whole lot about how they reconnected yet, but it does seem that they are really happy. Daisy was sharing about it saying that they didn't date for very long when they were in college, but they were good friends after. And their friend group is still really close. So it kind of just happened naturally after that she, you know, wrapped her time on the show. They decided to give it a go. And they're giving it that go and it's going really well. How long were they broken up for? It's been like over four years because Daisy, I think, has been out of college for some time now.
Starting point is 00:29:53 So he said it was like, and they didn't date for very long. She said that he did break up with her when they were dating, but they just like both weren't out of place to have a relationship. They were just like very much in college. Yeah. How long did they date the first time? She said it wasn't very long. She didn't specify.
Starting point is 00:30:08 What's a college relationship? You know? Yeah. It was like casual. He wasn't like her boyfriend. I don't know what like college. It doesn't really. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:17 Those titles can be loose. I feel like I'm not sure. I think I'm not sure. I think it makes sense. I think it all, it checks out. Okay, wait, I searched up this off-roading thing. So this is what it looks like. If it's like, looks like small monster trucks in the desert,
Starting point is 00:30:34 racing around. This is so cool. I just didn't, I didn't even know this was the thing. Did you know this was a thing? Yeah, off-roading like, yeah. Like, you called ATVing like two minutes ago. Well, it's off, whatever. It's all the same shit.
Starting point is 00:30:47 I think that's what he does. I think his family comes from like a lineage of that. but yeah she did also talk about how like they're still trying to figure out like how public they want their relationship to be because um she doesn't feel like she like owes it to everybody you know to like share everything but he's super supportive of like whatever she wants to do um but was definitely surprised when like yeah people started to like talk about it and know who he was and so i think that's maybe why she decided to talk about it herself yeah i think it checks out too i think for so many people that go on this show i feel like the show really helps open them up to their own feelings and being vulnerable. And I think when you come off the show, even if you do end up being heartbroken at the end, you are usually ready to take that next step and to be in a real long-term relationship.
Starting point is 00:31:39 So that Daisy has now rekindled with an ex and it looks like it's serious makes total sense to me. Yeah. I feel like people that come off the show either have like looked back on their past relationships and been like, oh my God, it's so much clear why these aren't for me or maybe are encouraged like veer back towards one because like you do do a lot of self reflection both on yourself and on your dating a relationship history while you're on the show. And it's such a learning experience. And I feel like people come off the show either like I'm really ready more than ever to be in a serious relationship or like. they go the opposite way and they're like living up their single life and they're like whoa I need to take some time for myself but I feel like there was rumors for a hot minute
Starting point is 00:32:27 that she was dating someone and that she'd gotten back together with an ex so I'm glad that she kind of came out and confirmed it because I feel like there was talk about it for a hot minute before she was like is she is she back? Is she not?
Starting point is 00:32:43 We know she's not the bachelorette but like is there a man involved what's going on? Yeah, it's possible that maybe that's why she was not wanting to do The Bachelor, you know, like, who knows how soon after they reconnected. But I also do love when someone like Daisy, who has really blown up since the show, like, has become such, like, beloved Bachelor Nation member and Internet star in her own, you know, right?
Starting point is 00:33:09 It's cool to see her go to someone, like, from her life that she just really loves and connects and cares about. That, like, shows me that, sorry to use a Bachelor Nation trope, but, like, it's very right reasons coded, you know? she really just genuinely wants to be with someone and find love. And it's not like she, you know, left the show and is downating the most famous person in the world. You know, it's like she really just seems to have wanted to find that person. And it's cool to see her reconnect with someone that clearly has been impactful in her life
Starting point is 00:33:37 and has she remained friendly with in that way. So I think it's cool. And I'm happy to see her happy. I also saw those rumors and stuff about her maybe reconnecting with someone. I know I didn't want to cover it at all until she confirmed it. because who knows, maybe they were like figuring it out, you know? Like they deserve, like she said, she doesn't know how public she wants to be with the whole relationship.
Starting point is 00:33:56 So I think that they deserved a minute to kind of like figure out what they wanted their relationship to be and how they wanted it to work despite how famous and public her whole life just became. Yeah, absolutely. He has a famous name. So she got that. Yeah. Yeah, it's giving Ari. Like what was Ari's last name?
Starting point is 00:34:16 Wasn't he from like a race car driving family? Yeah. Yeah. Well, no, I'm just saying Thor itself. But what's Thor? I'm just saying. Oh, you mean Thor, not the last. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:34:25 Thor is like an iconic name. Thor and Daisy is like a new movie title. No, that's a Hallwork movie for sure. Thor and Daisy and the Christmas tree part. Like, oh my God. Like imagine my wedding invitation one day. No. No, but I'm happy for it.
Starting point is 00:34:41 I do agree with you. Like it is kind of nice to see, you know, she blew up so massively. I'm sure there's people in her DMs. Yeah. reaching out, trying to connect. she could easily be like, you know what? I'm going to like have a little fun, like see what's going on out there in the dating scene and just to hear that she kind of reconnected with someone from her past who like
Starting point is 00:34:59 she's friends with. They have mutual friends. Like I feel like the whole like J-Lo Ben Affleck thing is screaming like don't go back to an X these days. But like I feel like this is a unique situation where yeah, like they dated four years ago. It was like casual. It was in college and like now they've kind of found their way back to each other. So I think that's sweet.
Starting point is 00:35:19 And I think it's like something every couple in the semi-public I has to talk about is like the boundaries of how social media is going to play a role in that. And I think it's totally fair if she wants to like blow up her Instagram page with him or like not show him at all. Yeah. I think that's valid. I also think that there are specific circumstances in which it's like cool to go back to an ex. And I think someone like you dated when you're really young is one of those exceptions in my opinion because like as long as no one did anything nefarious and like her. each other and you know no one was like it doesn't sound like there was anything like that that went down between them it seems like they were just young and not ready for something serious i have i have a
Starting point is 00:35:57 friend um a couple that are friends and they dated like in college and then they kind of like went their separate ways really grew up five years they were apart and then they found their way back to one another and it kind of sounds like a similar situation so they are very happy and in love and live together and so i feel like it's totally possible i don't like always recommend going back to an ex but this seems like one of those circumstances where sounds like it's all 100% I agree yeah okay we've got one more story for y'all today we have some big news this week former bachelor colton underwood is expecting his first child with his husband jordan brown we're so excited for them i know this has been a road for them like colton has been really open about
Starting point is 00:36:39 experiencing some male factor in fertility and his sperm count being really low he talks about it on his podcast he's talked about in interviews obviously being a queer couple They have a different road to parenthood than any hetero couple would or a lot of heterocouples would, but they are now in the process of working with their surrogate and they're really excited. They have a baby boy coming this fall, which we are so excited for him. I feel like any time you hear about a new life coming into the world, it is such a blessing. And especially with Colton and his husband, I know they had to work really hard for this. They also just celebrated their first wedding anniversary.
Starting point is 00:37:15 So it's just like a time filled with so much love for them. and I was really, really happy to see this news. Yeah, I feel like I, so Colton was, he was on my season. I haven't talked to him in a while, but I'm friends with Colton and I'm really happy for him. I feel like every time, I feel like every six to eight months, he's posting something that's like a major life change. So yeah, very happy for him. Yeah, he's had a couple of years of like just multiple big announcements. Yeah. I haven't met his husband, but yeah, really happy for them. And I'm sure I'm sure that whole like the fertility and going through all that cannot be easy. I know it's very from what I heard it's very expensive. Well, it says in the article that they spent $35,000. I know not $35,350. I'm missing a zero. $350,000 on the entire fertility process from like getting an egg dome.
Starting point is 00:38:18 to getting a surrogate to probably like the doctor's appointments dealing with like the sperm count all of that's like it is a lengthy process and it is an expensive process yeah there are a lot of straight couples that deal with that's kind of stuff too but I I know even more common obviously in the queer community and yeah Colton has said that they have a fertility team of nine people in the article he talked about that and so that's a lot of that's a big team again yeah having to do IBF. I know he talked about how they found their egg donor as well and you have to pay for the eggs as well because that is not like as simple as donating sperm. It's a little bit more of an invasive process. And so they found an egg donor that they really connected what they talked
Starting point is 00:39:04 about how they like didn't care at all about what this person looked like. We wanted someone that was like adventurous and spontaneous and they have created a bunch of embryos. And right now they don't know who they're surrogates, who the sperm that the surrogate is carrying the moment. Is that now is that a conscious choice that they've made to just not know or did they or they just don't know? I think it's a conscious choice that they have made because I'm sure you could say like, okay, the first, because they say they are intending on having two children. One will be Colton's biological son. One will be Jordan's biological son. but they don't know
Starting point is 00:39:43 what sperm was used for this child. But they also said that they feel like they'll be able to tell. So that'll be interesting. I can't imagine not knowing. Well, Colton's like six, six. So he's a big guy.
Starting point is 00:40:00 And blonde. I think eye color plays a role here as well. Like if the baby has, doesn't have Colton have blue eyes? Like if the baby has blue eyes. Yeah, but so many. I feel like majority. 40 babies come out with blue eyes.
Starting point is 00:40:13 Yeah, baby, your eye color, the eye color isn't like settled for like six months to a year. Eyes kind of changed. But yeah, and hair color, I guess, too. Like a lot of babies are born blonde. Yeah, but Jordan also has light hair. I think he's got gray hair now. Yeah, they did say that they plan on having two kids. And so
Starting point is 00:40:31 whoever sperm wasn't used this time will be used next time. And so I think if they end up not being able to like quote unquote tell, they'll figure it out. They'll ask, you know, their facility team of nine people to know which one. And I guess when they have another kid, they will use the other persons. I know like we were talking about this beforehand, but Neil Patrick Harris and his husband have twins and they used, I believe, sperm from each of the dads
Starting point is 00:40:59 for the twins. And they still don't know which one was which and they don't want to know which one was which. I just like really feel like that's giving Mamma Mia and like the kid is going to be like, which one of you is my biological dad? But also like, then they're going to be like, but I don't care because like you're both my dads. It's nature versus nurture too. I feel like kids so often just like take on the environment they're in. Like I think nurture for me in my family was so much stronger than nature. You know what I mean? Well, and then Colton said he believes in nature over nurture. He believes like that's why they were really keen on finding an egg donor with certain personality traits
Starting point is 00:41:34 because he feels that that will play a big role in the child's personality. But I've always, I'm so intrigued by the whole donor process because everyone is looking for something different, right? Like some people are like, I just want these genetic traits. Some people are looking for personality. But I've always like, I don't know, like imagine someone's coming in and they're like, yeah, this is who I am. I'm like very adventurous and very spontaneous. But I also sometimes feel like people don't have a very accurate opinion of themselves or like they see themselves one way and other people see them another way. So it's like, am I just going to trust this person? Like they think they're adventurous and spontaneous. But like maybe if I spent like
Starting point is 00:42:10 two years straight with them. I'd be like, that's not who you are at all. I don't know. I'm overthinking this. I'm sorry. You definitely put a lot of trust in the donor process, whether that's sperm or egg. But I feel like I'm just really excited for Colton and his husband to get to like showcase a cool way of building their family and a cool like LGBTQ plus family. Because I feel like I mean, it is obviously so common. There's millions and millions in the world. But to get to see it on a platform like his to get to share his experience with not only male factor fertility, which is something that not a lot of or male factor infertility, that's something that not a lot of people talk about, but also getting to see like how a gay couple builds their family. You know, there's millions of ways they could do
Starting point is 00:42:53 it. They could adopt. They could have a surrogate. They could, if it's two women, one could carry, they could do reciprocal IVF. Like, there's a million ways to do it. And so I think it's cool that just like for Colton and his audience and the Bachelor Nation audience to get to like hear about his story and hear about how they're building their family in their own really unique way because I feel like it's not talked about publicly enough. And yeah, especially someone like Colton who, you know, was like a football star and was The Bachelor. It's just really beautiful to see him come into himself and to see him build this really beautiful life with his husband. I'm like loving getting to, like, Joe said every few months, Colton has like something new and big going on. And like I'm living
Starting point is 00:43:31 for all of them. I love getting to see this side of him. He seems like so authentically right now. Yeah, and I do think that for till like there's so many different fertility journeys and I think being able to have them be so open about theirs is just it's great. You know, I feel like everyone gets pregnant in different ways and goes about having children in different ways. Yeah, yeah. I hope it will help others, you know, in similar situations and I hope it will help like inspire other families to look into like many different ways to build their family. And I, yeah, I'm really excited for Colton and his. husband. I can't wait to see their little baby. It's going to be really cute. It's like a boys club. There's going to have three of them. It's going to be cute. Did they talk about how they picked their
Starting point is 00:44:17 surrogate at all? They did. They said they have like a it's almost like an online dating kind of thing. They said. It was like you could see different like profiles. I think it was like a concierge service that that's kind of like what they do. Wait, did you say surrogate or donor? Surrogate. That's actually a good question. Because that was for the donor process. I'm not sure about their surrogate. A lot of times surrogates are really private, you know, like they don't, they don't share. I know like Claire Crawley talked about her surrogate when she had one and was like, we are still really, really close with her. I like send her updates and things like that. I'm actually not sure if Colton talked about how he found the surrogate, but maybe it's through another one of those like kind of services. Right. But that's
Starting point is 00:45:02 interesting that the egg donor was like almost like a dating profile. Yeah. Yeah. I do recall him, yeah, talking about that in the article and how it was kind of like a, it was, it must be really kind of fun to do that with your partner, you know? That's cool. Yeah, it's really cool. Yeah. But yeah, so that is the update on Colton. We're very excited for him. We're wishing him and Jordan and their growing family all the best. And that's the latest Bachelor Nation tea. I hope you guys feel caught up to speed. I hope you guys feel like you are queued in on everything that's happening. We're sending love to everyone. I, you know, We, like, it's been fun to, like, chat about everyone, but I also feel like it's, again, a good reminder, like, we are sending positive vibes to all these people all the time. We're keeping it love and positive in our comments and things like that. So, yes, all right. My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly, and now I'm seriously suspicious. Oh, wait a minute, Sam.
Starting point is 00:45:56 Maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit. Well, Dakota, it's back to school week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon. This person writes, my boyfriend has been hanging out with his. young professor a lot. He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her. Now he's insisting we get to know each other, but I just want her gone. Now hold up, isn't that against school policy? That sounds totally inappropriate. Well, according to this person, this is her boyfriend's former professor and they're the same age. And it's even more likely that they're cheating. He insists there's nothing between them. I mean, do you believe him?
Starting point is 00:46:26 Well, he's certainly trying to get this person to believe him because he now wants them both to meet. So, do we find out if this person's boyfriend really cheated with his professor or not? To hear the explosive finale, listen to the OK Storytime podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I'm Jemel Hill, host to the Sports and Politics Podcasts Politics. And on the latest episode of Politics, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries joins me for a candid conversation about the state of the Democratic Party. What do Republicans say to you privately that they won't say publicly? Many of them are in fear of their political lives. And that's been part of the challenge.
Starting point is 00:47:02 But we continue to say to them, you were elected to do. defend your constituents to stand up for your constituents and there's life after congress and you should be willing to actually want to be able to look back on your time in the house of representatives knowing that you can keep your head held high because you did the right thing Donald Trump is gone in three and a half years but their legacy or their failure to stand up to the extremism and the unprecedented assault on America as we know it will be with them forever Make sure to listen to Spolitics on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

Starting point is 00:48:23 So, yeah, before I go. I always... We do a game with our guests at the end of every episode, and I always get so stressed when we have to be the ones to do the game. Yeah. It's just going to be some Bachelor Nation. opinions. We're just going to do some rapid fire questions with you guys, kind of like how you do with other folks that come on your podcast. So first up, I know you guys are rewatching a lot of seasons of The Bachelor right now with Happy Hour. Do you have a favorite lead, a favorite Bachelor or Bachelor at this to watch? Obviously, you know a lot of them personally, but do you have a favorite one to watch? Oh, so we only, we've only watched, we only rewatch two. We watched the first episode of Peter, the first episode of Ben. Yeah. So, so. So I guess if we're going to go, I mean, this is rapid fire.
Starting point is 00:49:07 I'm Pete. I like watching Pete. I think Joey, I know it's easy because he was the most recent, but he might be one of the most unproblematic bachelors in a while. Like when I think back through like, even like Ben, who was such an amazing bachelor, like telling two women at the end, he's falling in love with them. Like he had some like iconic controversial moments. I feel like Joey's one of the few that's come out like really clean.
Starting point is 00:49:31 Well, watching Ben that first night, I was like, I would. actually want to watch more of him because you saw him like slowly step out of his shell just like that night one like as the episode went on like he got more and more like charismatic and comfortable and I was like oh this guy's going to be fun to watch yeah as the season goes on we had a great interview with Ben if you haven't listened to it um listeners you guys should go check it out because he was so young but he was telling us about how he was like I was 25 being like I'm going to be single forever and I just need to like accept that like it was a really interesting interview but anyway we yell at our guests all the time because it's supposed to
Starting point is 00:50:11 rapid fire and they give long answers and look at us having a full conversation that's okay do you have a bachelor nation couple that has surprised you like who you really didn't expect to hit it off but has a bachelor that that has hit it off that surprised us oh you know what this I actually I have one um Christina mandrel and Braden. That's who I was going to say. They were in my brain. I was like,
Starting point is 00:50:36 if you guys didn't have one, yes, they are so cute. Because they totally make sense. Yes. But like would I have independently been like, you know who the two people we should like set up are? I don't know if I would have thought about it.
Starting point is 00:50:48 So yeah, they surprised me. They seem really happy. I'm going to say, I'm going to say Ashley I and Jared. They had a journey. Yeah. Is there someone that you would love to see as elite?
Starting point is 00:51:03 either maybe that hasn't been a lead yet or maybe that has that you'd love to see have another go. I mean, I would have like to see Maria as the lead. I think she would have been cut. You know who I would have loved to see as a lead even more
Starting point is 00:51:19 now knowing her? She'll never be the lead because she's now married with a kid but I know that she was close a couple times is Tia Booth. I think Tia would have been so fantastic and her time just kind of like never came unfortunately. She was close a few times and I think that
Starting point is 00:51:34 she would have been terrific. Yeah, she would have. That's a good answer. I like always, I think about this question a lot in my free time. I'm like, who would I like to see as a lead? What would you like to see? Oh, I.
Starting point is 00:51:47 Even if they're like in a relationship, like who's someone you're like. Well, because she's still single, I always be curious to see Demi Burnett as a lead. I feel like she's just so unique and says whatever is on her mind. And I also think it's cool that like she's got a really interesting background and I feel like Demi could be someone that could be interesting to see in that role
Starting point is 00:52:06 but yeah I think about that all the time like who I'd like to see as the lead yeah I actually this is like a weird thing to say because you're my husband and I don't want to you to date other one but I always I actually think you would have been a great lead Joe thank you you're welcome thank you okay if you could pick five single people from bachelor nation to go on bachelor in paradise I want to know who you would pick Jesus these are loaded these are loaded questions single like let's let's come up with like a dream paradise scenario um sorry sorry no nothing all right i'm gonna go i'm just gonna just rattle them off i'm gonna go clayton neckard oh good one good one joe we'll do maria yeah uh let's go rachel from this current season um give me Xavier from charity season
Starting point is 00:53:10 I'm going to do I think you're at four you're at Clayton Maria Xavier and Rachel Rachel okay and then five would be Bring Back Lace again Oh bring back Lace I know she's in her single mom era
Starting point is 00:53:30 Yeah I love that Oh, that's a great, great cast. I like that. I like that. I think Katie Moe would be fun to bring back. I believe she's single. I think I'm trying to think who else is single right now. I mean, I would love to see Peter Weber on it again.
Starting point is 00:53:55 I think he would be so good. Yeah, Peter. I'm trying to think if there's, like, anyone else. Peter replaced lace at Peter for me. I mean, there's a lot of, there's a lot of single people. Like, I think Andrew Spencer is always really fun to watch. I'd like to see Andrew and Greg on the beach. Andrew and Greg on the same season would be fun.
Starting point is 00:54:17 With Victoria. With Victoria also. And Peter. And Peter. Yeah, that's what I want. Yeah. We're going for. There's a lot.
Starting point is 00:54:24 There's actually a lot of, like, good single people to do a Paradise season with. I think that sounds like a really fun all-stars. I like the idea of Clayton, though. Yeah, because he would be, I think he would thrive in paradise. Yeah, I think he'd have a great time. Yeah. All right. Last one.
Starting point is 00:54:44 Out of any like Bachelor Nation kind of like lore news show, do you have a Bachelor Nation hot take? Do I have a Bachelor Nation hot take? Or like unpopular opinion. Yeah, I do. Let's hear it. film golden and one and cast people from one area of the country
Starting point is 00:55:04 that's my that's my unpopular opinion I don't know if that's unpopular but I mean yeah it's definitely an opinion like cast them all in Florida cast them all from Florida yeah or just from one place hmm I don't know if
Starting point is 00:55:21 like it's an unpopular opinion I'm trying to think Danny do you have one I do. I thought about this. And I actually don't hate when I know it's like obviously not the goal of the show ever, but like I don't hate when couples break up. And I think that's kind of a hot take because there are so many beautiful, successful couples,
Starting point is 00:55:45 marriages, families. But I also think that like it is reality and part of reality TV is like real life. And real life also comes with breakups and divorces. And that's just real. who says it's like scripted or not real it's like well it doesn't always work out and so I kind of think it's like I never am rooting for that ever ever ever but like I also like when couples are willing to talk about it reflect on it I think like JP and Ashley Rosenbaum have done such an amazing job at like continuing to co-parent and people were so myself included like devastated when they split but I also
Starting point is 00:56:21 think that like they both seem really happy now and thriving and they have like a really beautiful family still. And so I don't think it's like the end of the world per se, which I guess is a hot take because obviously the goal is always like finding love. And I look at people like you too and I'm like that is the goal. But it's also not always reality. And so I guess my hot take is that like, not that I like, yeah, like like like like that's okay when I don't I don't like my life doesn't come crumbling down. You know, like I think it's like that's part of that's part of relationships in general, not just relationships that come from the show. Yeah, I like that take because I do think so many people are like, oh, the show doesn't work if they don't end up together
Starting point is 00:57:00 for the rest of their lives. But it's like, that is just life. Like people date and then they break up. People get married and they get divorced. And like there's so many relationships that are, you know, maybe have ended in divorce or separation, but lasted a really long time. Like they were a success. Like they found love like Ashley and JPR a great example.
Starting point is 00:57:19 They have kids together. They're like, you know, maybe didn't work out for forever, forever. But like that doesn't mean that they. weren't a success story. Like, look at the, like, they wouldn't have their beautiful children. Yeah, people sometimes can focus on the negative in those situations, but I like to like spin it. And even if the, even if it isn't a long lasting relationship, like kind of talking about what we talk about with Rachel Nance, like, there's still purpose there. Like, I don't look
Starting point is 00:57:44 at that as something that's like, oh, that's a quote unquote failure. Like to me or like the show quote unquote doesn't work. Like to me, that's a opportunity for people to like grow and find what they really are looking for and it doesn't mean that they didn't really value their time together. And so, yeah, I guess that's kind of a hot tape that it's just like it's okay when that happens and there still can be a lot of beauty and love and growth that comes out of it. Just like any relationship anywhere, that's the kind of relationships that happen that come from the show. They're very real, which comes with good and bad. So yeah. Yeah. What a lovely. What a positive lovely, lovely take, Dey. Well, my hot take is. My hot take is.
Starting point is 00:58:23 not as positive. I'm going to say that everyone out there that says, like, I don't want the drama. I'm just here for the love stories is not being honest with themselves because this franchise is built on both drama and heartbreak and feuds and fighting as much as it is built on love and romance. And I do feel like you need both elements for the show and the season to be successful and exciting and enjoyable and people love to hate like that's part of the fun is like it's sometimes it's not that deep it's like oh this person drives me crazy like they're the villain or whatever and I mean some people take it too far to the next level on social media but like people that are like I see comments that are like I don't want the drama like I just want the love
Starting point is 00:59:09 but like I truly don't think the show would be as successful if the drama wasn't a part of it and I think the drama can make it fun sometimes yeah I mean I could yeah spot on I also think that they should make, like, a competition show. Like, I think the franchise should just keep expanding into. Oh, like, I mean, we had Bachelor Winter Games, like the Olympics. Yeah. Or like Bachelor Pad. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:31 That's true. That's true. Yeah. Let's make more shows. There was money involved in that. Yeah. I'll go back and compete for money. I already failed love.
Starting point is 00:59:39 Yeah. That's true. Yeah. Bring back, like maybe like a couple's Olympics and you guys can go win some money. Yeah. Pretty cool. Well, Danny, thank you so much for coming on. Betcher Happy Hour. Truly, it's always great when you come on because you do all the work.
