Welcome back to Bachelor Happy Hour. Today I have an exciting episode. We are filming from South Africa. I know we just had Blake on the podcast. But today's going to be fun. We're going to talk all about his previous trip, this trip, and everything that's going on in between. So Blake, welcome to Beto Happy Hour. Thank you for having me.

Thank you for being here. We do have tea to talk about. We have so much tea to talk about. And it's so funny because we, I feel like, don't see each other for a year. It's been at least a year. It's been a year. And then we see each other and we talk all the tea, everything in between. But let's start at the top.

You just went on a trip with Greg. And Justin, it looked amazing. How was it having Justin and Greg on the trip? And were they more fun than I was? Because for those who are listening, the trip that you just went on, I went on with you last year. And we had the best time ever.

Yeah, I mean, listen, but they're both, the dynamics are very different. So different, because I want to get into that all. You haven't really really. seen Greg? No, I haven't. Since Katie's season. No, I haven't.

So how did that all go? I've seen him one time and it was downtown, oh, downtown, I'll like, we're at Venice Beach. I think it was Nate, Rodney, Andrew, Greg, and maybe that was it, the five of us. Randley met up and we had drinks and we did a whole night out and things got a little crazy that night. And like we spilled tea there,

but it's not like I'm, we honestly have the most interesting relationship where we, I think there's a lot of respect there coming down towards the end with Katie and I. And then from there, obviously through everything with a lot of the, um, the tough debate between them and, you know, who was right and who was wrong and how it all ended. What do you mean if who was right and who was wrong doing like the internet? Like what they thought? Yeah, just like everything, right? There's this rumor this, all these things, right?

And I think knowing Katie's whole side of the thing and being engaged to her, it was very easy to just be supportive of her regardless of any, any fucking rumor. And so it was an interesting development over time, but there was always a respect level there because I do felt like he really was in it and feeling it, especially down towards the end. Totally. So then we always had just an interesting relationship where like it was like interesting memes because he has a very interesting sense of humor. and I do too deep down and so we would send each other interesting memes that's how we communicated

but very sporadically if it was something that was like and it would trigger it so that was really a lot of the conversation that we had had up until then but there was such a respect level there and then with Andrew and Justin who we didn't have that same type

of weirdness because of it wasn't the same between you feel like because you were engaged to Katie you didn't get to really have the same friendship that they all have Yes, but I just think they're very different from my, you know. I can't, I'm that, I can party and I can do all those things, but like, I think they just really bond it, but they're all very much the same style of humor and that's just, you know, a different lifestyle and tone and style that they are. So we get along great, but like, I can't, I don't hang with anyone even fucking back home my own friends, let alone trying to hang her out with the season.

And we'll get into all that. Because you obviously have shared so much on social media sense. But before we get into you, because I really do want to dive into what you've been going through. But let's talk about this trip and how this trip happened. Because it was so out of the blue. You called me and you asked, can you come to South Africa? And I was like, I have this, this and this going on. And he goes, okay, well, when's the soon as you could be here?

And I said, well, you know, I have a wedding on this day. And all of a sudden I wake up and my flight is booked. So walk me through this trip. Yeah, because you gave me the inkling that like, yeah, like if, like, if you could, if it could happen after Cleveland, I could potentially fly from Cleveland. I don't have time when I'm out here. You see how, so I'm just like, I pull trigger. I don't.

It's like, and I will figure it out. So if you gave me the 70% vibe to which I. I just made it up in my head that that's what it was going to be likely. If I booked, you would have felt terrible if you didn't then pull through when you said, yeah, if it's after Cleveland, should be okay. So I just booked it. So I want to ask you, because people see us going on these trips together. What makes a trip be like, okay, Rachel could come on this trip?

Because some things you do, you know I could never accompany you on. No, and I think if a lot of things didn't pan out last minute, the way they did here, you probably would have gotten a plane and went home. Absolutely. And let's talk about that. So Blake sends me pictures. This lovely tent behind us shows me the accommodations. And I get here. The water, you know, we're in Africa, not necessarily always warm. But luckily, I am staying across the way in a beautiful home owned by a woman who truly is my hero and we'll get into all that and why we're here.

But when I come on a trip, it has to be not in a tent. Yeah, I think there's certain levels in which you can manage to handle. You know, cold water is one thing. You know, that's not really working out right now. Bed. Right. But that's not too terrible. But, I mean, there is a piece of like that tent right there, two weeks before you came.

So it was right after we got back from Botswarn. here. A Mozambique spitting cobra was in their tents. And I've been hearing that people are waking spider bites and frogs in their shoes. And the worst problem I've had is a couple of wasps in my room that I asked like to come and kill. Yeah, listen. But it's been fantastic so far. Yeah, it's been two days and there's four left. But yeah, the thing is once you got here, you would kind of, just there was no, you would have to buy in. So for the listeners who, know about the Botswana trip. How is this trip that we're doing right now different from that one? The Botswana trip was a one-off luxury tag along, see what is what we're doing, and you could be supportive in, you know, minor ways.

This is a massive impact project where we're trying to shine light on a bigger picture story in the underbelly of conservation and rhino poaching and rhino conservation in South Africa. This is more raw. It's real. We're following the lives of people that dedicate their life to protecting these animals from anti-poaching team, Blake at the orphanage, Karin. Karen is the one that we all connect to the most and that I connect to the most. Yes. And you can see why.

Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to a... We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys?

I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band. Before Jonas Brothers was... This is how you guys remember it going down. Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, Hey, Jonas.

And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Keith Gianmanca seemed like a mild-mannered suburban dad. But secretly, he became someone else,

a master of disguise who went on a crime spree. At the time, did it seem like a crazy idea? It seemed very crazy. But I felt so desperate that I felt it was the quickest, easiest way out. Did you allow yourself to think about how it could go wrong and what that might look like? No, I didn't want to manifest that. I was trying to manifest success.

Every family has its secrets. But what happens when you discover that your dad has been living a double life? That is not the look of an innocent man. This is going to change my life and my family dynamic forever because everything that had existed prior in my reality is now untrue. Listen to Deep Cover the Family Man on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is.

is, getting a racist statue removed. And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is, getting a new one put up in its place. As long as there's a politics of race in America, there's going to be a politics of remembering the Civil War. To get to school, I had to go down Robert Lee Boulevard. Get to the grocery store, I had to go down Jefferson Davis Parkway. If you're an historian and you leave out half of what the history is, you're not doing your

job. I'm Akila Hughes, and Rebel Spirit Season 2 goes deep on both of those things. The fights, the politics. the people who won, and my personal campaign to add something to the Kentucky State House that's actually worth the wall space. We are more than our bodies. We contain essence. We contain spirit. How do you represent that? They are just fueling a fire that is really catching.

You'll see what I mean. Listen to Rebel Spirit Season 2 on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. You can have opinions. You can have like a strong stance. And then there's your body having its own program. I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and hosts of the podcast, a slight change of plans, a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans. We share stories and scientific insights to help us all better navigate these periods of

turbulence and transformation. There is one finding that is consistent, and that is that our resilience, on our relationships. I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change. We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes. Listen to a slight change of plans on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. So what we're saying here is basically that this here is not a luxury trip. This is conservation and this is people who are dedicated.

their lives to the rehabilitation of rhinos, to the conservation of where we are at. And I would love if you could talk a little bit more about Karin, who is this amazing woman who I've truly never met anyone like her who dedicated her life to saving these rhinos. And I think this story is so important to you because you discovered that this is your passion because of a rhino. Well, let's spin it around because real, I know all these things. But for someone that's only spent just under 48 hours with her, the amount that you come over and say like, fucking iconic. How many times a day do I say I love her?

Yeah, how would you describe her? Because I know and I can do it. But like for someone who's never doesn't know this space and is coming into this space and seeing her move and do what she's doing. Yes. Like how would you describe that to one of your best. I met this person, this is what, like how, because I can do it, but it hits differently for you, not knowing this space. So, I mean, realistically, when it comes down to it, this conservation space and reserves and running lodges and all of this is usually dominated by men. And so you have this woman that's come in and you see how she owns who she is and makes moves.

It kind of wants to become this queen of Zuland. There's no reason why she couldn't. she manages Manioni game reserve. She's the director. Mani everything across the board. And that means there's two different organizations underneath that. Zuland Conservation Trust.

You've got the Panglin Research. You have leopard programs. You have all the rhino. And the orphanage. There's so much happening here in managing reserve. It's 25,000 hectares, which is a massive piece of land. Then you have the orphanage.

And the orphanage is a, rescue center. And you never know how many, yeah, you never know how many babies are going to come in on a regular basis based on the poaching crisis. So mums will be shot and killed for their horns. Caps usually left to die. And one of the closest orphanages in this area, which is one of the highest densities in the world of rhino. They get hit the most by poaching. So I mean, we lost seven over here and they're on the reserve to, to the right over here. On the left, we lost two. and this was like in the last three weeks. These things are happening regularly. And so the rhinos are coming in at a crazy rate. And this is why we have little rhinalt here. Karen manages all those things from the orphanage to all the panglin research, all that.

And then the actual reserve itself and trying to balance the ecosystem and the amount of animals. And there's just so much that goes on here. And it's this woman that handles all of it. And you see she's like the Laura Croft of, of wildlife. It's wild to see her do her thing. And for the listeners who know anything about Bravo, I always say she's like the Lisa Vanderpump of this game reserve. She runs everything here and all the men respect her. I have never seen someone take control of a group of men the way she can. And to me, as a woman coming in who is in a male-dominated field, I was so excited to come on to

this project when Blake told me about her because she is here dedicating her life to something that she loves. And it is so hard, I feel like as a woman to command that respect and still feel like a woman and still do the things that she does every single day. And it's been so inspiring to see her just dominate this space and dominate what she does, but still have so much compassion for everyone that works under her and everyone that's here. And she's just so open to having us here. And it's been so amazing.

So thank you again for bringing me on because I feel like I connect so much to her. And I love that this project goes back to the reason that you started Sosa. Yeah, I think there's just a lot of alignment. So I think it's so easy for me to like get behind and support and respect her. It's like I would trust her with anything because I just see all decisions she has to make this

very challenging and difficult. You can saw those things yesterday. It's like it's not normal and it's not, but it's just things that you have to pull trigger on. Yeah. So let's just, if we can give one example to the listeners about things that she has to do, can we talk about the rhino dehorning, which is a big thing that they do here? So yesterday we got to experience something that. I didn't even know happen.

So what happens is that there are poachers who will kill the rhino on this reserve for their horns because in certain countries they believe that the horns have medicinal properties, that they're just valuable to have on their mantle. And so what is really, really sad, but what has to be done, and this is what Blake has to talk me through is that they have to find these rhinos. And often they'll go up in a helicopter and they will dart the rhino. They'll be tranquilized and they have to chainsaw the horn, which to everyone listening, I ask this. I feel like it's so funny because I asked the same questions.

It was like traumatizing to see, but she said it's something like their nail, like almost like a horse hoof that they can't feel it. But to watch this happen and to know that this is for the better of the population of rhino here, it's so sad to see. But to watch her be so confident in what she does and to dehorn these rhinos, it's a big thing that they do here to make sure that the population of rhino don't dissipate. Is that the right word? Basically, I mean, they're trying to relieve the pressure off this reserve, right? So if a rhino has massive horn, this reserve is going to get a ton of pressure.

So poachers want to come in and break the fence lines, come in, and they'll devastate. Just like just over here, seven were lost within a matter of time. Yeah. Yeah. But if you can take the horn off the rhino, you decrease the value of that animal and decrease the risk in which people will come in and then kill the animal. So is it worth having really fucking long nails? Or is it not, right, to save your life.

And although it's the iconic piece of what the rhino is, it unfortunately is the most prized part of them. And if you can trim it and keep it down, although it's terrible, it costs a lot of money to do, especially depending on how many rhino we have and all the rest of that we can't get into here, then it's something that has to be done. And it is sad. The thing is, it's this really interesting complex between trying to find the money for it to what you allow tourists to come and view it from the side, right, to see.

see it happen because otherwise you can't trim the rhino the cost to go into the the helicopter and the fuel and the teams to go in to do this across you know i can't say the number of rhino then it's challenging because turas will just be like this is really cool this is fucking awesome but that's where i have little moments because and i had a moment so hard when that was happening sometimes i just can't talk about rhino i know so anyways but it's the one thing that gets me every time. So I have little moments when I'm with the animal because I'll sit there and be like, why?

Does they have to go through? You know? Always and there's always a moment I take because I see people really pumped about it and like this is fucking awesome. And it's like, take a moment and try to be present as to why this is happening. Yeah.

So basically what like you're saying, because I'm, it's so funny because you are so like educated on this topic and I'm so new to all of this, but basically, Basically what happened yesterday was we went out with the team here who their job is to D-Horn these rhinos and it is a very like, the process is long and it's thought out and they have to plan this, but they do allow tourists to come view it who were along with us

yesterday. And to them it's this like exciting thing, but to you and to people who work here, it's devastating to know that to have the money to fund this, that the tour have to in a way fund it. Where are you going to get the money from? And they're so excited to see it. And it is so hard to watch because knowing that that's the only way that they could survive. Pride is like love.

Mainstream media is full of cruel depictions of the unhoused, stories that shame and blame and paint the unhoused as a monolith. We, the in-house, is the podcast that's changing that.

I'm Theo Henderson, creator, and host. And for years, I've created a space where the unhoused and their advocates can tell their own stories. In the last few months alone, I've interviewed unhoused parents, immigrants, mutual aid organizers, veterans, the LGBTQIA plus community,

and the policymakers who make the laws that impact the unhoused existence. Whedian Houses a two-time Webby and Signal Award-winning show with many exciting guests on the horizon. Tune in this week for my interview with Dr. Gio Wichler, a street doctor turned influencer whose work with the unhoused community

has made a huge impact online and in her community. Listen to Weezy &House on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Yeah, I think that's the piece. And that's where you see such a long briefing that you, like, sat and listened to it all

to really understand the dynamics that go into this, because it can look terrible. The thing is, is they would, the rhinos would lose their life if they didn't remove the horn. That's what happens, the place that don't. And it's challenging, and there's so much we get into, but we can't. Right, of course.

Because it's literally so many crazy layers. Of course, do you want to go to a reserve? Would it be better for this reserve to sell the tourism in their lodges to have one big, big, massive horn? Yes. but it's not worth bringing tourism dollars then lose all those rhino when there's, you know,

getting to the kids that, you know, do a hit on all these reserves locally and you lose dozens at a time just because you want to make sure that your lodge has had, you could market, you know, rhino with a massive mournals for photographs and all that stuff.

So do you want to save the light of the animal or do not? And so you find tourism dollars in other ways that will never pay. But horning a rhino is going to protect it. You're not going to make nearly as much money, but it's the way to protect the animal. And for Karin, who's the one that has to take on all the orphans if they do from all these reserves. We'll talk about that too on a lighter note once we get off the dehorning because it is so devastating to watch

because these animals should be allowed to just, I mean, live free and not have this. But again, it's just unfortunately the circumstances we're in. But there is such a beautiful light note happening here because on, this, I guess I always don't know the terminology, game reserve, is that the right word? Not even a couple feet away from us is such a beautiful thing that I got to see today, which is a baby rhino orphanage, and I love to call it the nursery, because you get to see these baby rhino that are fed by bottle that are so loved and cared for by the team. So the polarity of having to see these rhinos get to.

horn but then to get to go to the nursery. Let's talk a little bit about the baby rhinos and why they're here. Yeah. So, I mean, there's dozens that come through here, unfortunately. But the orphanage here is the one that takes in all the calves that are left to essentially think for themselves in the wild. So when a poaching happens, helicopters go up, they'll find the calf, they'll bring it here. Carn and the team will then manage them. For the, so I'm just, I know what you're saying, but I'm trying to like, listener-wise, like, okay. So when a poacher comes and kills the mom, the team here is alerted that there was a mom that was poached. So then they go find the calf.

And they bring that calf in so that it doesn't have to fend for itself. Because I also learned this, that the rhinos are very social. And so it is really important for them to be. brought in in the case that their mother is poached because then they can be raised by the team here, right? Yes. So they require milk. They need to be with their mother for potentially up to two years, oftentimes a little bit less.

So a long time. They're highly sensitive animals that can be to stress. And so they need bonds. Just the exact reason why Reinold, the little tiny baby. Yeah. Let's talk about Reinold. So they, first of all, our bottle fed like every three, what? Every three hours, is that correct?

And there is the newest baby to what I love to call the nursery, and that is Reinold. And how old is he? I think he's really close to about maybe two months now. He is two months. He is not even up to your knee, that tiny. And he lives in the nursery, and he has a companion because he can't be with the other rhino babies yet. So tell them about his little companion.

Yeah, so he's so small that he's... just he just started growing a little bit of one tiny bit to which he can start to kind of defend himself he can't so until you get to a point where they can bond them with other rhinos they can get lonely they can kind of get depressed and so they brought in a goat and forget the goat's name now it's like what is it yeah is it what is his name Lenny what is it there's a goat there's a goat there's a goat and the goat lives within the pen with Reinhold and now they're

they're a bonding pair The goat can't hurt the rhino obviously But it's small enough where they can It's just a replacement until Rinal can then be released Which I think is very soon Yeah because he's growing today He actually gained 20 pounds

I learned But also a story about the goat Is the goat Got thrown out of the pen Pretty recently by Ronald The baby rhino And when the goat got thrown out, everyone on the reserve was convinced that overnight it would be eaten. But the next day, they ended up finding this goat being protected by a pack of wildebeest.

And now Reinhold has his companion bag, which I think is so beautiful. It was protected. It was literally Christian that came over. He's like, the goat caught out. What are we going to do that next way? I get the drone up with infrared in the nighttime trying to find this goat. His friend. They were trying to find the baby rhinos friend.

It's so important. They're bonded. Yeah. So now they're back together. Rhinos actually super healthy. Went through a lot of health challenges. We were here and we were documenting a lot of that. It wasn't looking good for a while.

He's on the right track now. Hit a milestone today of 100 kilograms, which is huge. Yes. Over, a little over, I think. 100 pounds. Sorry, 100 pounds. Because he got switched to horse milk, which he actually likes, they said. Yes.

Yeah, it's like sweeter. Yeah. And yeah, he's growing well. And we're going to have a lot of footage of him. There's a lot of stuff that we've been built in to help support. Reinhold, his adoption and getting him a little formula and everything that he needs to be released back in the wild another two years from now. So we're really excited for him. And this project is obviously very exciting.

But along with that, and as much as people want to support, project. I think people are also very invested in you. And it's so funny because when I got picked up at the airport, the first thing I said to you, I'm like, are you okay? And I know that we talk about this on the phone. And you always tell me and you always are like, I'm fine. But I think for me, what like brought me to ask this was what you posted recently. Because you always put on such a brave face, even when we talk, and we're very close. But when I see you and I see everything that's going on, there is so much that's happening behind the scenes. And I think it could bring such a good impact to what you are doing here

for everyone to know that this isn't glamorous and to know kind of what you go through. Let's go through a couple of things that you posted and we can get into detail with some. So the first one says, you see me traveling the world, working with cool animals for conservation, but what you don't see is this sacrifice is made, the personal relationships lost, the financial burden and the stress that it's caused. Can you go into that a little bit? Or should we go to the next one? I don't know if that one has that much. No, I mean, it does. I've spent, I've sold my house. I've taken all my investments that I put into it. I put everything into this.

and now it's forced me to be on the road. There's no way out other than through it. I don't have the same relationships that I used to have with my best friends. Why I don't get notified that my best friends are having kids in the next four months. And I'm finding out through the grapevine. And it's almost like at a side, I don't mind. And I've just kind of become that unfortunately through not responding to text. I don't time for anything.

You see how I am. I have no time for anything other than this. Between being on the road and the time zone differences, while I'm on the computer or in the field, like there is no time for anything, and I neglect everyone and everything because I have no money left other than making it happen through these projects.

And so I can't have pit or patter. Because all your money goes into making this. And small talk conversations through text. Like I'm literally work, you see me. I'm nuts, right? nuts right now. And so. So you feel like because you're not checking in on your friends, they forget you. And then you see posts of them like having children or getting married. And you didn't even know that was happening. Yeah. Like I'm, you know, some of my best friends I,

their kids are three years old now. I've never met their kids. Because the last three years, I've been so deep in this. And when I get home, you know, maybe I have a week before I'm off to Alaska to wherever I am in the world. and it's back to back to back to back to back that you don't even find the time when you're home because why is typically okay i've got to see mom i got to see maybe my dad first if anything before trying to get time with every single one of my friends in a two-week period but i also have all the back end of the accounting and the this and that that i have to get the computer time down because i'm out here doing this because for those who are listening i don't think he slept more than three hours since i've been

here with him so on top of the fact that you're trying to make relationships happen you are mental health is suffering at the cost of all this that you are doing for these organizations and for the animals and not sleeping. I literally I think at 4 p.m. today said have you eaten? Did not because you've been so busy with everything today, which is just showing the dedication and like I really want to get across to everyone listening like how much you really do put into this.
