This is an I-Heart podcast. I'm Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman, host of the psychology podcast. Here's a clip from an upcoming conversation about how to be a better you. When you think about emotion regulation, you're not going to choose an adaptive strategy which is more effortful to use unless you think there's a good outcome. Avoidance is easier. Ignoring is easier. Denials easier.

Complex problem solving takes effort. Listen to the psychology podcast on the. iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, my name is Enya Eumanzor. And I'm Drew Phillips. And we run a podcast called Emergency Intercom. If you're a crime junkie and you love crimes, we're not the podcast for you. But if you have unmedicated ADHD...

Oh my God, perfect. And want to hear people with mental illness, psychobabble. Yes, yes. Then Emergency Intercom is the podcast for you. Open your free iHeartRadio app, search emergency intercom, and listen now. Every case that is a cold case that has DNA. Right now in a backlog will be identified in our lifetime. On the new podcast, America's Crime Lab, every case has a story to tell.

And the DNA holds the truth. He never thought he was going to get caught. And I just looked at my computer screen. I was just like, ah, gotcha. This technology is already solving so many cases. Listen to America's Crime Lab on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up, Bachelor, happy hour. It's so good to be back with you all again this week.

And I know Michelle and I are both so excited to be here for another episode because we have a very fun plan for you today. Yes, we are so excited. We've been talking about this for a little bit now. I've had to keep a secret. but I'm really, really happy that we don't have to keep that secret anymore. It's finally here. We have our wine ready. I hope you all do too because very soon we're bringing on our guests to get the party started.

And yes, you heard that right. I said guests as in plural because the first one we're going to be bringing on, well, they'll come on together. But the first one, drum roll, please. He comes in at a whopping six, six. He has the best damn smile that I'm looking. at right now and he is the honestly the best hype man for the bachelor franchise for us michel and um my favorite person i just love to love which of course is thomas who i feel like we need

a round of a pause and our second guess is a six-eight man that everybody knows is always the tallest man in the room a good-looking man at that but he's a sweetheart he was a walking red flag according to everybody else but he is here he has proved himself wrong and we're going to have Nate on but before we bring the guys on Becca I feel like we have a lot of catching up to do because last time we spoke you were at the tail end of Bachelor live on stage now you're finally home and you have some new announcements coming I do yes I like you said I'm finally home it feels incredible it's it was very bittersweet the last show was so sad but just so happy that we were able to complete the full tour this time around because

obviously COVID shut it down. So I've been home a couple days. I did not leave the bed and the couch for the first day. I was horizontal for 24 hours and it was wonderful. And since then, right back at it, we've been busy. My sparkling wine line Bordeaux just launched our new rosé, which I am drinking today. I said, I hope everyone has their wine or their cocktails ready because it's going to be a fun episode. Cheers, Michelle. We should just start this out. Well, cheers with the men too once they get in, but

we need cheers with the girls first. Okay, wait, who's more excited that you're home? Thomas or Minow? Oh, Minow. Of course, Minow. No, Thomas was excited to. He came to the last show. He's FaceTiming with Nate right now. Bro, let me go see my mustache to match real quick.

No. Apparently, they're FaceTiming right now. I guess Nate has a mustache. Thomas needs to go shave his stash to match Nate's. Oh, no. I thought, oh, I got excited for a second because I thought that Nate was shaving his mustache before he came on because he was maybe, you know, getting rid of it. Oh, no, I think it's still there. And I think Thomas is going to match him. Now he's brought Thomas on board. Oh, no. Oh, Nate is a bad influence. Oh, my gosh. He is a red flag.

you okay before the guys come on hopefully clean-shaven and looking fine what is up with you what have you been up to oh my gosh i feel like this past week has been the first week where i truly started to get into a routine because i've been traveling so much whether it's to new york l-a and i was eight were able to make that trip to canada so i finally have been home long enough where I've been able to get into a routine. Good. And so it's been really, really nice. I mean, and the sun's out.

It's just, it's been a feel-a-good week. So I love that. That's so good to hear. I love that, too. You say that you're finally getting into routine because, what, in three weeks, it's going to be summer break for you, right? Yes, which I'm so excited for. I'm so excited for.

Except for I'm a little nervous because typically after the school year, my body completely crashes because that end of the school year push is just so stressful and adding everything going on now in my other part of my life. It's, I feel like I'm going to like go into a coma for a solid week. You deserve it. I really haven't slowed down for like a year and a half. And so now my body is going to be like, okay, Michelle. All that time's going to catch up to you. Yeah, exactly. So I'm like, what a wild ride. Did you? ever expect getting into last summer, like how different your life would be come this time around? No, I don't even think I could have imagined that I'd be sitting here. I mean, I was just

trying to enjoy the ride. But yeah, I don't know if I could have foreshadowed all this. And if this would have happened to me. You got, you fell in love. You got engaged after dating 30 plus men. You went back to work. You had press tour after press. two or four year season now you're potentially looking to move in with your fiancee going through another school year starting a podcast with me like you've done it so much so crazy but it's wow i've been you know i've been excited to be able to wind down a little bit and just you know enjoy some things that i want to enjoy so yeah yeah do you innate like i think i've asked you this before but maybe it's changed now that summer's coming around and you have time to actually

actually plan. Have you guys talked more about moving in together, like where that's going to be or when? Like now that you have three months off, is it going to be soon? Yeah. I feel like that's the burning question that, you know, anytime I do a Q&A online, everyone's like, why aren't you moved in yet? Are you moving in together? And really, it's just that we're trying to figure out where we want to be in what location we want to be with or be at. And it's just a constant ongoing in conversation and kind of depends, you know, what is next year going to look like for me? Am I going to be in the classroom? Am I going to try to do something outside the classroom? And then him right now, he's working remotely, but they might be going back into the office.

And so we're kind of just taking both of our positions into consideration. And then once the school year is done, I think that's, I'm going to have a better idea of, you know, where I'm going to be. And then he, you know, we're going to kind of cater to that. Figure it out together. Yeah, figure it out together. I am looking outside in San Diego, and it's about 72. It's perfectly sunny, not a cloud in the sky. Yes, but you said you're moving to New York.

Like, you said you might be moving to New York. But when I say that, I mean. So we could get there and then you'd be like. No, no, no. When I say New York, I mean like for three months. Like, we're not moving. Temporarily. Super temporary.

Just to spend, like, it's going to be a super long vacation. Yeah, like we would do a quarter. like a quarter and and like this is home base and once we have thomas on we'll talk about it more but like he's already started looking for houses here so like we will be in san diego we're just going to do new york for a couple months okay got it's not like the joe and serena where we're going to sign a lease for a year plus and yeah move everything it's going to be basically like the same amount of time that i was gone on tour would be us in new york that would be fun yeah honestly that would be so fun and then after that three months would you come back to san diego or

would you try to choose like a different place to no i think i think we would do san diego um yeah there's nowhere else like i mean we love new york and we want to spend time there but san diego is home now and we love it thomas's family is here so we would definitely come back here and that's not to say we wouldn't one day be like oh let's go here for a month or two and work remotely because we have the luxury of being able to do that, which is really nice. So, yeah, we'll see. But San Diego will always be home. I say that now. I still have my place in L.A. Right. I was just about to ask you about that. But going back to my question about you and Nane and kind of plans, I mean, it will all unfold as it should. And I can't wait to follow along. I know you have

so many supporters that are so excited for you whenever your place and time comes. So, but again, San Diego, just saying, Rodney's down here too. And I know that would make me happy. Yes, but I wouldn't see him. You wouldn't see Nate or Rodney. You wouldn't see either of them because they'd be together. I wouldn't see either of them or I would just never see Nate alone, you know? Yeah. I mean, you would date both of them.

No, love Rodney, but sorry. You need to get a place that has an extra bedroom or like ADU guest house in the back that that Rodney can live in. like those shoot no there's actually things because my mom was talking about these before it's like a grandma it's called like a grandma pod or something a grandpa pot like grandparent pod and it's these small little houses that people put in their backyards for their parents to come live in once they start getting older oh yeah granny flats yeah granny flats exactly so like that would be it or the situation where the boys would have bunk beds can you imagine step brothers with love pets your life is going to be so interesting wherever you land oh god i really might need to rethink this uh moving to san diego possibility i don't know just move close because then you and i can hang out and be together okay that's true all of the guys can do their own thing but i will say thomas and i are looking at a house this week that does

also have a granny flat that um you know if you ever need a place to stay to get away from those two you can't. Don't tell them that. I get the house. They can go to the granny pot. Okay. That's true. That's true. Nate and Ryan can have the granny flat together. Thomas will be there with them too because he'll have FOMO if he's not allowed with the guys. Facts. He's just looking at me like, you're looking at me like I'm wrong, but I'm right. That's so great. He said it sounds nice. That's so great. So I guess what do you say? Should we bring the boys on? I think it's time. We're talking about them far too much to not have them be part of this right now. But yeah, we don't want to do it behind their back.

We'll just do it in front of their face. Our first gentleman of happy hour. Look at that stash. I know. I thought Tongues, you're going to show up with a mustache. When I looked and it was too light, but I got to say, Nate, I respect the fact that you probably just did that joke. And they're like, wait a second, this is kind of fire. We're just going to run.

You know, like, it grew on me like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, there's probably like a minute of like, what did I just do? And then minute two, I was like, it's here to stay. Michelle, what was your first reaction? My response was, what did you do? Is that here to stay? Like, I just basically repeated everything Nate said, but in a different town. But, I mean, I feel, did you, I don't think you did it as a joke. I think you legit were like, I'm going to give myself a massage.

No, because I told you, I was like, yeah, I think I'm going to cut off my beard. And then you're like, no, don't do it. I was like, I'm not going to cut it all the way off, just like a little bit. So at first I kept the goatee and just the mustache. I was like, I look wild. So I took off the goatee and just kept the mustache. I was like, all right, you know what? This might have to be it.

This might have to be it. Let's start this off right. Cheers to everyone. Cheers to the first gentleman of Bachelor Happy Hour. Oh, really? I think that's us, Nate. That's you. Yeah.

We're Percy. Where's Percy? Where's Percy? He's all over me right now. we need leo here too but oh there he is fellas i'm so excited we finally have you we've been wanting to do this little double date set up for a while so i'm glad you could both join us what up first such a sweetheart hi sweetie does he have a bowtie on no that's just his hair oh my gosh he looks so proper it's like no he just naturally naturally distinguished

who's just perfect we need we need to get all the dogs together for a play date oh we will well when you guys move to san diego it'll be super yeah it'll be extremely convenient that's what becka and i were just talking about before you guys jumped on because you were talking about how you potentially might move to new york for like or not move but spend a few months in new york and then you know you're looking at something some things i cannot talk either today becca looking at some things in San Diego as well. That's already in the works. I mean,

I heard it is being submitted this week. So we'll see. Oh, it's like really in the works. Oh, yeah. Like it's already, finance are already checked out.

We already have everything planned out. Do we? If we submit, I'll sell this property that we're in right now. And that will fund a down payment and anything else. I don't think we're that far along. He's making it seem like it's all good. And I don't think we're quite there yet.

Oh, there. Thomas has got a plan. Is he the planner in your relationship? Would you say? No. Who's the planner? We both are in different ways. Like, I'm more of the one to plan little things

like dinners, get together, stuff like that. He's the bigger picture guy of like house hunting, business-oriented things, right? I would say I'm the very enthused one. And I get excited over just,

a lot of big picture ideas. So I think she said that perfectly. Yes, but also, we're not quite there yet. But I want to catch up with you too really quick because Michelle, before we had the guys come on, you obviously talked a little bit about how you both were just in Canada. So Nate, how was that being back there? It was great. I mean, it's always nice to be with family, right? So it was fun. It was fun. I got to what did we do? I worked the entire time. So I didn't, I don't know, I was just around family. I don't know if we really did much. We got your dad on the VR headset. Oh, right, right, right, right, right. The world needs to see that, by the way. What did he think? My dad's just hilarious. He had himself a ball. He had

himself a ball. Does your family still love Michelle? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Even if they didn't, I don't know if he would say that right now. It's like, it's like my dad loves Michelle more than anybody else in the family at this point and it's kind of like we all look at my dad like yo like you just met her like I'm your son you know like this is your daughter over here like this is the future daughter-in-law though no no I'm talking about like my sister my I know my sister feels the same way she's like you know what like dad like I'm right here like Michelle just came into the picture like what's up like Nate how many the feeling is that though like the fact of the matter is the woman that you love who you brought home like she's so dearly held in the eyes of your family

Like, how good does that feel? She has my whole family wrapped around her finger, and I spent 27 years trying to get my dad to, I'm too personal now. No, you're fine. My dad is obsessed with Michelle. So it is cute, though. Do we need to have a little therapy session right now?

Nate, do you need a hug? I forget, like, I want my dad to love me the way that he loves Michelle, you know, but, you know. Listen, Nate, I can attest to that because I swear I think my mom loves this guy more than me. and she's like she's obsessed with Thomas she I think probably texts him more than she texts me it's precious but it does feel good knowing that your family like loves and embraces somebody so much yeah no like I'll call my dad I'm like hey like how are you doing I'm good how's Michelle you know first question you know he doesn't ask me actually because I ask him how are you doing he's like I'm good how's Michelle it's like usually you're supposed to ask me like how are you to do it but not

you're like Michelle's great I'm also fine I'm also fine two dads in case you were wondering. Thank you for a hat. No, Canada was a lot of fun, though. And I mean, Nate and I have spoke about this before, just loving different parts of different families. And, you know, Nate's family he grew up with not talking about like a lot of emotions or whatever.

And so the show was a whole new world and has still been a whole new world. But it's been pretty fun to see his dad just like come to life and go on this like VR headset. We threw him on a roller coaster. He should just Nate, tell me when I have the green light to share that video because it is hilarious. He had the time of his life.

He took it like a champ. It was like, was it the Jurassic Park one? I don't know which one it was. But it was a dinosaur one. It was a scary roller coaster and he did really well. Yeah, my step-mom texted me like the day I left. He was like, yeah, your dad wants to buy a VR headset. So we can put you on the roller coaster.

with me while you're in Austin. Christmas present, Christmas present, baby. You're throwing a VR on his head and having dinosaurs pop up. No wonder he's asking how Michelle's doing. He's like, I'm not forgiving Nate yet for this. He's traumatized.

I will say, though, I have, I don't even think Nate knows this, but I have a whole album that is titled Nate VR. The amount of times that this guy throws on the headset, it is comical. Because this is like six, man with these massive glasses and he's screaming and he's just having like the time of his life

how could you not be happy like I just sit there and just smile and also hope that my TV or my walls or my ceilings don't get scuffed up because do you play games on this like how does it have you never had one I get I get stuck in the metaverse I am stuck there like unhealthy man I'm talking to strangers. Like, I've never been a game. What? You're talking to strangers? I have great conversations.

Wait, this is like, what's the movie where the guy falls in love with the, like, recording? Time of her. It's called her. Yes, this is going to be Nate very soon. Until it ends up, like, ex Machina and all of a sudden, we're like, what is going on? Dude, I get stuck in the metaverse. Are you saying you've transcended, like, this human existence? now you just belong to the Metaverse?

It's, yeah, yeah. It's pretty intense. I think that just answered the question. Where are Michelle and Nate moving? They're moving straight to the Metaverse. They're never going to live on the Metaverse. It's really weird since you guys haven't looked into the Metaverse and all that. But I'm looking at buying real estate right now in the Metaverse.

Like, yes. What are your thoughts on that, Michelle? I saw those eyes go up. That's, I'm laughing. That's where our gift from the franchise is going. that's where your first home together is going not a real house but a house in the metavers here's your down payment for the metaverse have fun no it really is kind of great i'm not going to get into right now but offline like if you guys are interested it is insane oh my god i can't wait for legal

reasons this is a joke please no when you're out in san diego please bring the headset please bring the no i don't want thomas to start it i don't want him to get hooked no you will get hooked It's just me, the dogs on the couch chilling and then we're just watching him and we're ready to like adjust because he does swing quite a bit when he, especially when he's in the Matrix version. It doesn't really cool right now, but when she logs on to the metaverse, oh, she is, she's, she's connected. No, no, it, it truly, it truly is fun. It's just more that I, when Nate has the VR headset on, he gets so into the game that he kind of ignores his surroundings. And so I can name a solid for people who have already been clocked by Nate, like full out right, clocked and connected. So me and the dogs just sit there wide eyed, like ready to move and dodge at any time, you know?

Do you guys give yourself time limits of the, like, of how long you can go on for? Does time exist in the metaverse? Do I give him time limits? I feel like I need to give him time. Yeah, no, truly, it's like, here, you can have 37 minutes today. Or you did your chores. you can have an extra 45. How long are we in there for?

Well, I mean, there's something called, what's it called? A fiancé. Something called quality time. Real life, maybe. I'm not like, I'm not selling it. I'm really selling it, but like, you know, like, I'm in there for like, you know, 30 minutes at a time. It's this exact vein though, Michelle, you've experienced it yourself.

do you see like future application for this translating to the classroom yourself as a teacher i'm sure there's going to be uses of this i've actually already brought it into the classroom last year where there are these VR headsets that these kids can go into this kind of situation and they're at a museum or they're traveling different spots in the world and so we um at one of my other schools we had something called festival of learning and so they were able to like go into this VR headset and go you know to the tropics and learn about all these different things and so that's cool Yeah, it has been brought in, but it's something that's still super new. But I think it would be super powerful.

The future of VR is actually like, like, I'm making fun of it because it is kind of like a joke. But like the future of VR, I can see it being like pretty intense. And here's this millennial over here who grew up watching the Disney Channel and loved Smart House as a child. And now we're talking about this shit. It's wild. All I know is Wally is one of my all-time favorite, like new age animated film. like it made me cry like that strong i'm just afraid we're going to end up like that and all of a sudden we just trash everything we can't walk earth is just a desolate wasteland

seriously okay now we're getting dark that's some power we have talked about VR and the metaverse for far too long so we're gonna have been moving along i think we just got sucked in the metaverse like in our i think we get stuck you really get stuck our listeners are going to be like move on they're like we send up to listen to happy hour and to get the dirty details of you couples and not listen to VR. Yeah, welcome to tech junkies with your host, Becca Kufin and Michelle Young. So it happens when we bring the boys on mustache and VR headset. Nate, we're not getting invited back.

Maybe give it a couple months. Give it a few months. No, no, no, but we actually do have a list of fun questions that we do want to ask you guys that I'm sure our listeners are dying to know. So I'm going to kick it off first. Michelle, I'll just ask them a question. And this is for both. you guys. So Nate, you can answer first and then Thomas can go. But what is the, what do you think is the most romantic thing that Michelle has done for you? Oh, okay. So, um, she got me this job. Let me go get it. I have no idea what this is. If he comes back with an Oculus headset on Oh, I do.

Okay, no, I do. She comes to this jar, and each jar is a reason why she loves me. Oh, I love that. What is that one? See right there, Nate. First one you picked up. I love that you want to have new experiences in life. Oh, that's good.

You're pretty romantic, you know. It's pretty more romantic, so, yeah. When did you make him that, Michelle? That was when we were still, like, at our happy couple weekends, and we were, you know. Back when she, like, really liked me. back before the VR headset became a reality back before he pissed me off no no it was just it was just something where I'm not necessarily always good about talking about my emotions or verbally you know speaking about them and so I was like I do have all these things that I really like about this person

and so let me write them down and so I actually would write them down when they come to my mind and then once I had a decent amount then I put them on like those pieces of paper into a jar so that I can give them to him. I love that. Did you go through all of them right away, Nate? Or do you just take them out one by one whenever the mood strikes you? No, I dumped out the jar. It was like, ego boost, yes.

Nate attacked that jar like he attacks a bag of candy. He just dumped it all right. 100%. It's like it would have been super romantic. Like he could read one every single day until the time we were going to see each other again. But he was just like, Oh, my girl, laughing and, like, tossing them. He's like, keep it coming.

Keep it coming, Michelle. Keep writing down. Either way. Either way. Okay, Thomas, do you want to answer it? Yes. I'm nervous. I would say the most romantic loving thing that Becca's done for me

isn't necessarily like one particular grand gesture. You're just really good at just checking in on a day-to-day basis and just making sure that I feel loved, whether it's just little things. Like, what can I get you? do you need this oh i would love to cook dinner tonight oh no don't worry about i'm to take care of that like for me being take feeling knowing that you're going out of your way to check in on me and make sure i'm taking care of like that's the most loving thing that you do to be in my eyes oh this is so cute sorry nate i can't i can't kiss you through the screen i guess i could

lean forward and plant one on the camera you know soldier boy has a song kiss me through the phone I mean, let's just listen. When I get home, when I get home, wha, but that's okay. Remix. Okay. All right, Becca, I have a question for you about Thomas.

Yes. How do you think you have influenced each other? It's like being around Thomas. How has he influenced you? Oh, God. How has Thomas influenced me? Yeah, like what's rubbed off? He, well, I can be a monster.

And so he has truly made me at times take steps back to be, and it is a work in progress. So I have not mastered this yet. I will say that. But to be more patient and to be, I think especially just to be more grateful and appreciative of the things we have in life because we are very lucky to be blessed with such an incredible life. And sometimes especially I think like getting wrapped up in the show and like the battle. sure world where, especially when you're filming and you have this whole season about you and

everyone's kind of catering to you, it's easy to lose sight of that or to take things for granted. And so he has really made me step back and appreciate the little things and to be more cognizant and aware and vocal about that. Again, it's a work in progress. I don't always do it. The fact that you just acknowledge that, because right when the question was asked, the first two things that popped in my mind was, I hope, like, gratitude and patience. And I mean, speaks volumes that you go when you went there too oh oh i'm very just take it away i'm very impatient so um and thomas is very slow sometimes i love you but i just like to progress every day i just like to enjoy the most out of every moment life some people call it slow i call it

perspective but i at each their own you Thomas you you're very much like a stop and smell the roses kind of person okay in the moment for sure absolutely he sure is yeah yeah yeah What about Nate? Nate, what do you have to say? No, I guess Michelle, let me start with you first. Yeah. What has, how is Nate influenced you? And then I want to have Nate answer that same question. Right down what you think she's going to say and then hold it up right before.

This is actually a good idea. Do you have any idea what I want to say? Um, no, not at all. Not at all. I would say that I think what Nate really helps me do is just it is, it is, easy to like there's so many just different things that are going on at one time whether it's you know being emotionally attached to work being emotional about just every other thing that is going on in my life and I think what Nate does is like in those moments where I'm feeling anxious or

I'm really struggling with that he's able to even just today we had a situation where he's he helps me take a step back and look at it realistically of like this isn't something that we need to spend energy on or you know he he he is a very realistic honest person and I think for me sometimes I can be really positive but then that's like ignoring an issue at times and so he really does help me and challenge me to actually like push and actually talk about that issue and be real about it and so I think like you said Becca it's not how I'm worried that it's not how I'm wired necessarily but it's it's a way that has really helped to me a lot. Yeah. I love that. May, how would you say Michelle's influenced you? Um,

I think it's Thomas's turn first. It's all you, Gene. I got this. I mean, it influenced me. I think that like, let's see, for me, I'd have to say with family, just because of how, like, family-oriented you are, Michelle. And then just, like, obviously I'm family-oriented, too. I don't know, you're just different with your family. And, you know, like, I think that kind of rubs off, call me sometimes with how I am with my family or, like, how I've interacted with my family and things like that. So I'd have to say, just in the family aspect,

you definitely influenced me in a positive way. Oh, this kind of is a therapy session. Wow. I'm not crying. You're crying. Okay. What was a big deal at the beginning? These are hard questions.

What was a big deal? at the beginning of the relationship that isn't anymore. Thomas, you want to start this one? The funny, obvious one was initially, she's like, oh, well, I just bought this house in LA and we have, and then like 10 months later, that wasn't really a big deal. But I would say that the biggest deal was just coping with who we were and just the situation that we found ourselves in,

where we have your story coming from your experience with the franchise and the mind and then how we blend that together and just put all that on the backburners and just enjoy life day to day. That came just naturally. I mean, when we were even on the beach to the time we just spent time each other's homes,

everything just felt natural. I think one thing for both of us, I would say, is when we met each other, it was obviously Katie's season of The Bachelor was airing, when we were on the beach. And I was watching clips and the episodes of him looking like, you know,

this terrible villain on the TV show and seeing him firsthand in daily life, how he interacted with everyone on the beach was totally different from what the show was making him out to be. And so for a while, I was like this weird mind fuck of like, okay, but who are you really? Like,

are you who I'm seen in real life in real time? or is it, you know, what this show is portraying you to be? And so to just go from that for a while and to not like fully understand like the why behind of like why that was happening and like why he was giving that edit was really difficult for me personally for a little bit. But I will say what helped a lot was the fact that once we were done filming Paradise, we still had to be in hiding until the show finished airing. So for months, what was it, three months, three or four months. tell the finale, we had to be in hiding. And so I literally just had to get to know him for him. And we would sneak out and like see his family and some of his friends.

So I could actually see him in his real life with his people that, you know, have known him for his entire life, which helped. But that actually was nice because I could actually get a baseline for who he truly was and not what the show made him out to be, which was very helpful. But it was just like that weird limbo phase of like, you know, why are you a villain on TV? but really great in person. Because one of our, within our last conversation on the beach, one of the big striking points I had was your biggest problem with our

relation at that time was we didn't have problems. You're asking you, is this real life? Is this really who you were? And then in that time we got to spend together, like this is who I am, this who I've always been. Yeah. And then just finding that trust and faith in each other, that was the biggest roadblock we had to climb.

And then in that, I mean, that's what brought us to where we are today which is everything so yeah we're going to go through that little hurdle but it was all worth it's a wild experience i know it's crazy right it's crazy what about you two um let's see does anything come to your mind neat um so we just repeat the original question really quick what was a big deal at the beginning of your relationship that isn't necessarily an issue anymore I don't know if it was a big deal I think like both Michelle and I were like

hyper aware that we've never gone through a fight or argument and just like how unnatural that is because usually when you meet somebody in like a natural cadence you're going to have disagreements you're going to have fights you're going to have arguments things like that early on or not early on me you know I mean like somewhere early on something before you get engaged you know what I mean so like so I think it wasn't like a big deal to us it was kind of just like

super like hyper aware of like all right like we like this has been super easy like we're smooth sailing like no fights no nothing um but it's not a big deal now because michelle and i fight every other day so uh we're working we love her laugh nailed it real quick so follow a question on that with that awareness that you guys had coming off the show what have you guys learned about yourselves and each other now in this engagement being long distance and not being able to live with each other all the time um shoot for me i mean like we're both kind of the type of people that whenever we're upset like we just need like hey give me 510 we're good you know and 510 we're like what are we fighting about like this this is nothing you know you know without that 510

you know the fight can kind of like grow from there but if michelle and i take our 510 we're good not to be yeah that's definitely that's my takeaway of how how how her and I like handle toughy situations like give me 510 give Michelle 510 and we're good so yeah I think I mean just even with me and Nate what I've realized is that a lot of times we're saying or agreeing on the same thing but the way Nate communicates and the way I communicate and the way that we receive communication is very very different than we're both used to and so there's times where it's like we get done like working something out and it's like we were saying the same thing the whole time but i was hyper focused on

this area and you were hyper focused on this area where you know for me i just i'm very i want you to know what i mean and like my meaning and you know for him he's he's very literal also and so it's like we kind of go back and forth but like nate said just taking that five to 10 minutes i feel like we're able to i'm able to think through the emotions part he's able to think through the literal part And then we come back and we're like, okay, like we're both on the same page. This is what we need moving forward. We're good. Move on.

That's beautiful because that directly reflects what you guys both said, what you've learned from each other. I mean, Michelle, you were saying Nate helps you really hunker down and see what really matters in that breathwork. Nate, you were saying you as a person, you need a process and literally go through every single focal point of things. Then that's what's making you guys relationships strong and long distance. Like, are you kidding me, y'all?

That is amazing. How symbolic are we? But not even the fact that like long distance is hard enough and being in a relationship with, you know, men and women operate very differently for the most part. And add on the fact that you are in the public eye and everybody saw your relationship unfold and of course have their two cents to say about you too and have their opinions and their comments and their criticism. that layer adds on so much extra stress and if you can just recognize that and be able to talk through that and like still have each other's backs and be supportive and get through whatever the argument or conflict is is so important and it and it's always probably going to be that way I mean just speaking from experience that's always going to be there it makes it so difficult

but it's good that you guys are both on the same page and can kind of take that five to 10 talk through you know okay you're probably coming at it this way I'm coming out of this way, let's meet in the middle and work through this is so important. Right. Yeah. Was it, I want to ask you guys this, because when you go on the show, you know, like, of course, Michelle, you are there to date all of these men, Thomas, pour that margarita baby. You're there to date all these men and like, yes, they're your boyfriends, but do you feel like you missed that boyfriend, girlfriend, stage in a way? Because you literally went from

dating multiple people to then getting engaged and it's it's such a weird transition did that ever bother you or hinder you to be like we miss such a huge chunk of our relationship do you want me to go first date or do you want to go yeah you can have that one i feel like we both have had so many conversations about just taking our time and enjoying each other's company and figuring that out where it's really important for me um to never leave that dating stage, whether, you know, we're engaged or been married for however many years. I think what's weird is that you go from this situation where all of these dates are planned for you and all of these, you know, massive gestures are planned. And I think what

Nate and I really love to do is just have things that are simple. But we're also still in long distance and so getting to that point where eventually when we're living in the same area to pick up that dating piece but i think that comes when we are in that you know in that stage just because right now it's like going to new york like that whole thing it was a date that whole weekend was a date going to l a day together that whole that whole weekend is a date in a getaway going to conrad you know in mexico again so i think yeah yeah that makes sense I like it. I like it.

And it's like ditto. I mean, I think like for Michelle and I honestly, like early on we had that conversation of like, okay, that was that was a whirlwind, that was an experience that we're never going to forget. I think the first day, yeah, the first day that we all met Michelle, she came down and she was like, I want somebody who can make natural of the unnatural. And so after the engagement, it was kind of like, okay, like, you know, usually people don't get engaged after 49 days of knowing each other.

So call that the unnatural for sake of conversation. Let's now bring this back to the natural. So yes, we're engaged, but let's definitely put our focus on getting to know each other and dating and kind of going back to the basics of everything. Yeah. You know, and I think that's definitely how we've treated this relationship. Yeah. Yeah. And I will say, and you, I'm sure you can attest to this. And Thomas, you probably can too, even though we're not engaged, is so many people have their, you know, especially in social media, their comments, their criticisms, like I said earlier. And so many people want you to do things or expect you to do things on a certain timeline or on their timeline because you met on a television show. And so the fact that you're not planning a wedding right now or not, you know, actively.

in the process of getting married, like they can't handle that. It's a lot. And I'm sure you've seen this too of like, get married already, have the wedding, have babies, do this, do that, because they saw you get engaged so fast. Isn't that funny? And like that part is so unnatural. Like you, if you were to have a conversation with any one of those people who are like, hey, get married, have this wedding, have babies, do all the things.

It's like, you do realize, like, we've known each other a very short amount of time for what this world actually is and like what a relationship. could be so like why are you who do you think you are to tell us to have babies right now or to tell us to get married asap like but it's like you can't you can't win though it's like you get off the show and they're like you're not going to like your relationship's not going to work because you've only known yourself like you only known each other for this amount of time and then you're like okay and then they're like how come you're not married yeah how come you're not moved in i'm like you're just saying that we don't know each other like pick one at least it's it's like yeah

There's no happy media the world of Bachelor. That's for sure. Okay, I want to ask you about this. Since you are obviously doing long distance right now, if you could go anywhere together, just the two of you at this moment

in time, where would you be? All right, baby, you already are the answer. Three, two, one, grease. Grease, okay. You hesitated that definitely was not answered at the same time. It was not answered at the same time. On the count of three,

Greece, Greece. Hey, Michelle, is that what you would ask to say? We talked about that in overnights, actually. We need a new question on this one because those results were just going on. I'm sorry, like, I couldn't hear it like on the right time. We demand the right now. But I also knew there was a small chance that it could be Europe.

Manow comes running. So we have this thing in that I used this with my sister for the dogs of like, if we were going in the car on a trip, we would call it Greece. And so we always be like, we're going to Greece. We're going to Greece. and of course walking over here running. Yeah, she's so confused now.

She's like, why aren't we going in the car? She needs some water. Okay, wait. Here's what I want to know about your relationship. What is like the funniest moment that has happened? Greece. Greece. Funniest moment.

Funniest moments. Oh, there's one that immediately stands out to me. We're literally on our kitchen table playing dominoes. And out of nowhere, I don't know what overcame this woman. right here she was just like cry laughing over the smallest little comment and then i start cracking up there was like eight minutes of i couldn't tell you the origin of this that we were just we were just laughing is i have the videos if you want to give me that little scrunch face i don't remember you lost your damn mind and it was amazing um i don't funniest moment with thomas i don't know what is the fun

we laugh a lot um what's the funny can i tell this story it was also in a target you don't get my permission just go for okay i'm going to tell a story okay so Okay, so I took Thomas Universal Studios for the first time and he had to get a, he had to get a Harry Potter cloak and a wand. And so he went through this phase after that for like a week or two straight where he had to wear this cloak and bring his wand absolutely everywhere. Like we'd go to the dog park. He'd have the cloak and wand. We'd go to freaking Starbucks. He'd have the cloak and wand. We had to go to Target one night to get some stuff. You know, we're picking up the necessities and like maybe. some food at the grocery store and he's wearing this cloak and wand and I'm pushing my car in front of him and he's walking behind me and he just rips one so freaking loud I was so

embarrassed I have never seen her run away from me faster just great separation from his random man wearing a wizard road throw it a spell and it was like late at night like target was about to close so I didn't think anyone was going to be there and I turned around and there was somebody literally right behind Thomas walking and I beeline it. I booked it all the way like on the other side of the store. I was like, I cannot be near you. And everyone's already kind of looking at him anyways

because he's the six-six man in a Harry Potter gripping wore a robe with his hawthorn wand. And I was like, what? Meanwhile, I see her sprint and it just sets me off. And I'm standing in the middle of produce now. I'm just cackling wearing this rope. I can't control myself. You truly can't control yourself.

That was a good one. That was one moment. Oh, my God. I can just totally see you, Thomas, like, trying to blame it on a spell. What is it? Expecto patro. Aloha, Mora, truly opened up everything. Wait, Thomas.

Wait, Thomas, what would your spell have been if you were to blame that moment on a spell? That's my patroness. You hit that one out of the part. it was so embarrassing and like and it was a there was a duck in there my patroness just happens to be a duck that was going down that aisle and it was and like here's the thing too and I don't want to say this in like a cocky way but like people know thomas lives in san diego and like there's a lot of bachelor fans all across the country and for whatever reason going to that target we always get stopped and like this sounds so conceited and I don't mean it to sound like

but like stop for photos or like just to say they love the show i pray to god the person who heard that knew exactly who we were so they could just have that story please reach out to us so i was convinced like somebody's going to see thomas in his cloak and like take photo and i was just like this is it's a great cloak what you're trying to say here baby what are you trying to say here it's a it's a lovely very foddered 2.0 that's that um thank you to everyone listening same question to you to turn turn the tables can i tell the burrito story when we're filming they got me farting in target nate of course you could tell the burrito story

i got to tell that one i got okay yeah okay Nate you tell the burrito story so this is one of the first this is one of the first stories that Nate told me in fantasy sweet actually we're real fancy sweet conversations okay yeah another fantasy suit insight i love the fact this is like there are no microphones what do they talk about this This burrito story. I'll tell you.

I'll make this up. This like dead ass happened. I was traumatized. So we just got to, to California and start filming. Like, this is before we even met Michelle. We're just like quarantining for our few days, whatever. And we're getting,

we're getting all of our food delivered to the hotel room. Right. And so on this particular day, we had a burrito delivered to the hotel room. Right? And I glanced out the window. I sit my feet down, whatever, whatever, and I glance at the window and I see Michelle. She's like, like, it like went like my, my hotel room, then like the pool and then the other

side of the building. And I see Michelle, she's over here waving. On the balcony. Waving on the balcony. Is that for some B-roll? Yeah. It's V-roll. This is like day two.

I don't know what V-roll is, right? But it looks like she's looking at. I was waving to Tasha and Caitlin for some insight. I was waving at them. They were down by the pool. I am sitting in the hotel, butt-ass necking. Tamma, tell me. Do you all-you-all?

Eat a burrito right by the window. Just eating the burrito. I'm, like, munch, and I look to the side. I see Michelle. I'm like, and I'm like, I'm like, what? Wait, how are you? Like, I'm buying his burrito, you know?

And I don't swear, I thought she was waving at me. I'm like, like, at that moment, you can't just get up and go put my clothes on it. like, yes, I am buttoning. Michelle, are you crying? Yeah. I was going to tell this. Because I know the exact moment because I had to walk out on the balcony and wave to Caitlin

and Tasha a few times. So to like do that, right, and know that moment and then, oh, geez, talking with my hands, know that moment and then know that he's in there, like, pauses in the middle of eating over here to look over and be like, crap. Like, you know, one of those moments where you just like want to slide down? I had to own up to. Because at that moment, like, you're not going to hop up and hide, like, no, you're going to own that.

Yes, I'm butt-naked eating a brito. What's up? Hey, you treat yourself, Nate. This is how you got the first impression rose. Seriously. Yeah, spill the tea on this one. Since then, have you seen Nate eating a burrito naked. No.

I think we found your next romantic date. I'll let you know when that happened. Wait, you know how every friend's episode has the, like, like the title is like the one that or the one with whatever this is the one with the naked burrito you have to name every podcast episode like this absolutely I'm 100% improved that actually sounds very pleasant I want to try eating my next burrito naked yeah I'm gonna do it honestly makes me a little nervous with the dogs around but I'm gonna give it a go bring a new meat into some hot sauce okay let's do it That was a good question. Our listeners are in for a treat this week. Okay, I want to ask both of you fellas this. Nate, you can start because Michelle obviously is beautiful in so many ways,

but what is one thing that you find most beautiful in her? Ooh, okay. Give me 12 minutes. I'll get right now. It takes me a while. I can't just say it over her eyes, but let me see the most beautiful part about Michelle. I mean, okay, like, we're not going to go physical on this one. I'm going to, like, kind of the same theme. How she was with my family. I mean, it's beautiful to watch.

So that's got to be like how she was with my sister and my dad and my stepmom and my stepbrother and my stepbrother and my step sister and my brother and just everybody in the family. My mom, like, I mean, she's just, she's great with the whole family. So, yeah. She's great with everyone. Family's family. I love that. I have to say, I'd have to say that's alone.

Oh, Michelle, you are great with everyone. All right, Thomas. I'm going to go ahead and say it's a shared Minnesota thing with this one because Beck has a warmth in her that no matter the scenario we're in, whether it's family, friends, strangers, the tour, the people she's around. She just wants to see everyone around her just experience like that same level of happiness is enthusiasm like that she would want herself and for me I think that's a beautiful thing to see in action and like try to wish upon those around you and then more importantly try to do

the things to put that into action so that's that's been my my favorite thing when I'm around her I say that and like he's a poet over here but it's one of those things like Nate I'm sure you feel the same way I need I feel the most pride is where we're just sitting back and you're just washing your loved one do the thing that they do and you're like see You know what, you know what, Rebecca, you have yourself a good one, all right? Because, like, you see how expressive Thomas is? Like, I need lessons from you, Thomas. Because I'm going to realize, oh, yeah, Michelle, really good with my family.

You know, she's, no, no, no. It's the half, or the, it just takes him, you know, a minute, you know. It's not like that you don't feel that. It's just it takes them a minute. Well, the thing is the metaverse takes a second to process. So we've gone full circle, and you are you, just keep doing. you, but Nate, you know what I actually love and appreciate about you is the fact that you don't like a time limit. You're not like the rapid fire. It's like you really want to genuinely

give an answer that means a lot and you're not afraid to express that, which I think is a beautiful thing. Most people just say whatever comes to mind and you're like, I need some time. I want to think of actually the best thing for my woman here. And the big power in that, Nate, is like everything you're coming from. It's not just from the hip. Like that is some resolve. That is some heart. That is some thought going into things. Thomas is he going to take over the podcast. Talking with Thomas, therapy with Thomas, seriously, though. Well, no, Michelle, I want to ask you the same thing.

What do you find most beautiful about Nate? Hmm. His willingness to accept the people around them for who they are. So, like, he truly embraces who someone is, whether that's their flaws or not. He wants people to be, like, very real and acknowledge that, you know, acknowledge what they struggle with, acknowledge what they're good at, but he would, with whatever that is, he accepts it. And so I think that's the biggest thing. I could name a few other things, but. I love that. I feel like more people need to be like that. That's a great quality. Yeah. Yeah. You know, if he has like a friend, like, and he really does. He has this amazing group of friends around him. And I think you can really see who somebody is by the people around him. And he also has some, you know, friends that are crazy. But like, he really does. He has.

loves him because they're crazy. He's like, yeah, they're crazy. But he still genuinely sees a lot of good qualities in that person and just completely embraces who they are. Yeah. Oh, I love that. Thanks, good. Well, Thomas, do you want me to say something about you? I will. I'm going to do. So for Thomas, one of the most beautiful things is he truly, truly is the most welcoming, accepting supportive person for anyone. He truly wants everyone to succeed in life and really builds them up and welcomes everyone. Like he's the type of guy that you ask for the shirt off his back. He'll give you that and he'll give you his pants. He'll give you his sneakers. He'll make you a meal. He'll make sure you have a good drink. Like he will give everything and more to anyone.

And that's, I don't think enough people are like that, especially in this day and age. And so he truly wants to lift everybody else up around him. I agree. I remember the first time I truly met Thomas. Like, I got the exact same vibes. Like, I was like, this dude, this dude goes above and beyond for everybody. Well, just so, so inclusive, because I remember being at when we did, like, this photo shoot for, like, you know, all these different podcasts, Nate was, like, the significant other that

couldn't be there, but he, because he was working, but Thomas face timed him during the photo shooting and was like look at your girl like and at that time you guys haven't even met in person yet correct yeah no not yet and so yeah so he completely just made sure to bring Nate into that situation and because he wasn't able to make it so yeah and then he was back there taking our photos he's blowing the winds he's throwing up the rose pedals checking the rose I know for a fact Nate would have been doing that same exact thing oh they both put out Naid would have been pelting the roses at me. Like baseball movement at me.

I don't know. Somebody smacked me. We need to get that photo of like just the whole rose. It was like a full. It wasn't just the pedals. It was like a full on rose. That smacked the side of my face. So whoever did that, I mean, thank you because that's exactly what Nate would have done.

Totally joke. Oh my gosh. We got we need the lost footage archives of this photo. Let's do it. Let's do it. Okay. We're going to ask one more question. And then we're going to get into, um, just a quick.

little game here. So if you two had to describe your relationship in one word, what would it be? One. I think you're actually like that at that point I'm going to be here for literally 15 minutes. Oh my goodness. Babe, you can take this one. Oh man. That's a lot. Um, do you guys have one ready? See, okay, this is also the funny thing about Becca and Thomas is that they make out during really important times as they're kissing while we're just trying to think

about our word, okay? They're making out they're making out when during the finale break up we didn't know the cameras were that you were sitting right behind me I thought they were straight on so I thought it was from the front

and you guys and we were to that was the best moment I was like we're not on TV we're going to be fine and in that moment I looked at the most like never break up with me like that and that's when we made out um okay i'll i'll say one that we used to describe our relationship and it's going to be very simple um and i'm just going to say it's right oh it's my right relationship that i have always i think belonged in

belonged with is that stupid no no no Nate did you come up with one i don't know one word i mean That's tough, baby. You know, we're blanking. Use Becca's word. We're on a time crunch. Are we good to move to the game? We're going to ask the gentleman of Bachelor Happy, our first gentleman, Thomas, are you okay?

Rapid Fire. Don't forget the first. It's a rapid fire game for the first gentleman of Bachelor Happy Hour. We're basically going to ask both of you, very easy question. You just have to answer whether it's you two or us ladies, okay? yes so basically I'll ask you who's the better cook so Nate would you say you or Michelle yeah okay ready that's the question wait too honest oh he's a better cook no I know no he is not the better cook let me I knew he was going to say this and I actually came prepared because

one here's my recipe book because one when we cook dinner for Thanksgiving he pulled the turkey out of the oven it was still raw okay even but he didn't want to listen to me but he pulled it out and two um last night he sent me a picture of his dinner from hello fresh that he completely botched is like one of those Pinterest fails check this out okay this is what it was supposed to look like this is it's like these zucchini boats and then this is what his looked like he just and he said it tastes like grass it doesn't look that bad he said it tastes it awful but he He's, he's, okay, I'll say this.

He's a good cook, but I don't know if you're better. I think we need to have an Iron Chef showdown. Let's go. Okay. Can Thomas and I be the taste testers? Deal. Yes, let's go. 100%.

Just don't make those zucchini boats, Nate. You two come out to San Diego for a few days. We will have the, it'll be like the great burst breakup. We'll have the recipes ready for you, and you both have to make it side by side. We have to do a taste test. Yes, I'm laughing because it's supposed to be rapid fire, and it gave a whole experience. Okay, Becca and Thomas, who is the neat, who's the neat one? Becca.

Me. Yeah, we're both not very neat, but she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, I am so neat. What are you talking about? I have seen your closet upstairs and your corner and the downstairs and the boxes. I don't know why anyone thought this was going to be a rapid fire between couples. Next one. Who is the biggest baby when they're sick?

names later. Just confirm it on this, Nate, like the Nigerian culture, like Babatundi stays in it correctly? Because of that is for the first born son when the father's father passes away. So, you know, God forbid, let's say my dad were to pass away. Whoever in the family, the first born son after my father passes away, that's about my team. Got it. Oh, okay. Yeah.

I do have a list. I've had a, I don't know why, since I was like 10 years old, 11 years old. Wait, throw us, if you want, throw us one name that's on the list. One boy, one girl. I don't really have a lot of girl names. I know it's kind of messed up, but I'm like. Damn. I know. I know.

Man doesn't want a replica of me. I really like the name Ayo Dele, which is my sister, she's Ayo Wumi. So the male version of that is Ayo Dele, and I've always loved that name. I love that. Oh, look at this. We asked this question. Yeah, do we wait, I feel like Thomas had baby names picked out. We've talked about baby names.

Yeah, we love the name Sloan. No, no, no. Okay, first of all, Stevie, after my father. First girl name is Stevie. Stevie, Stevie Jill most likely. Coofran. Jacobs.

Jacobs or Jacobs Coophrin. But we're working on that part. And then the first boy, I want John Gerald, Jacobs. Dude, I like the name John. John's a great name. John is like the definition of basic, but I fuck with that name. Thank you. I'm not mad at it.

I'm going to call it. Sorry, I dated a Johnny. Nope. That Johnny in particular, he's out of here. Our Johnny is going to be great, though. Fact, 100%. But I'm also looking for all girls. So there's that two fingers crossed.

Okay, you guys, it has been so much fun having you both on. I've loved our double date here. Why are you smiling like that? All girls. Are you kidding me? All girls. All girls. And we're going to hit it on a high note and kick you off our podcast.

Well, how about one more toast before we had that? Yes. One more toast. Naishel. My best. One more toast to our favorite guys. Thank you both. You are,

I will say, you are both incredible. We love you. Michelle and I are so lucky to have you in our lives. And we got, we have. And you're so lucky to have us. Let me make that clear.

Yeah. Very true. Nate, we lucked out. We hit the jackpot. We did. All right. I love you guys.

Thank you for joining. Cheers. Cheers. Michelle, that was so much fun. We didn't even get around. to a rose and thorn because I feel like we could have honestly chatted for

hours and hours. Like we just have to get you guys in San Diego or we have to come back to Minnesota. No, we for sure will. It's going to happen very soon. Let's, we're not ever going to do a rose and thorn because that is going to end on a high note. That is my rose of the week being with all four of us together. It was so much fun.

I love that you're currently rocking Thomas's hat right now. For those who can't see, I'm not sure who wore it better. That is maybe a little big. Do I look like a guy in the mask? Yes. You actually like identical. Identical.

This is a good. That's wild. A little, little, not snug enough, but that's okay. But Michelle, thank you for such a fun episode. I can't wait to listen to this one back because I just love listening to the fellas. So thank you, Nate and Thomas. And until next week, we will chat with you all then.

Adios. Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman, host of the Psychology Podcast. Here's a clip from an upcoming conversation about how to be a better you. When you think about emotion regulation, we're not going to choose an adaptive strategy which is more effortful to use unless you think there's a good outcome. Avoidance is easier. Ignoring is easier. Denials is easier. Complex problem solving. Takes effort. Listen to the psychology podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
