On the new podcast, Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman. I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I chose option B. I'm Julie Pinero, and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first.

Our hometown is not a test tube. 90 miles northeast of Nashville, a battle for the future of America plays out in one small town.

This is Our Town, a podcast about what happens when a small town becomes the site of a social experiment and fights back. Guess you didn't move in on a bunch of dumb hillbillies now, did you? Listen to Our Town on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Bachelor Happy Hour. I'm Rachel. And I'm Charity, and today we have Bachelor, Bachelor in Paradise, and HGTV Bachelor Home Makeover Alumni. Jill, welcome. Thank you. I know that hearing all of that.

I'm like, damn, I've been around. No, I was like, girl, you got a list. I know. Bachelor, two-time Bachelor in Paradise and HGTV. We will get into all that. But let's start with the Bachelor Mansion takeover. How did it feel getting that call and coming back to the mansion? Dude, I was like so excited.

I mean, when HGTV calls, you answer, you know. Yes, you do. Especially, you know, I'm an architectural historian. I deal with houses all day. So I'm just like, okay, perfect. Like, finally you guys caught on to what I'm trying to do here. So that was really cool. And then being back in the mansion, it's great.

It's such a funny place. And it does, like, it kind of smells the same. And there's so many memories. So, yeah, it was really cool being back there in a different capacity. But it was not at all what I was expecting for, an HGTV show. No, I think we can all like testify to that because we watched it and I was like, oh, this is very interesting.

And I also feel like there was a little bit of like drama specifically with how they cast. Did you know ahead of time like who all was going to be in the house or was that a surprise like when you guys got there? That was a total surprise. I knew that Sam McKinney was probably going to be there. And I was like, Tyler Cameron's got to be. there, you know? I thought he was a contestant, but he was a judge. So, but yeah, no, I had no idea who's going to be there. And some of the credentials were like really good. And some of them

I was like, this is a roach. They were cool. Yeah. You are an architectural historian. You have so much experience in this field. Do you feel like everyone there kind of underestimated you coming in? Hell yeah Dude like I understand I understand like balance and proportion like sure I don't know like

what this fabric is called like and I got blue clay oh my god we have to have like a secondary color and I'm like dude like let's just make it look nice right I don't know I definitely think they underestimate me to me and I was definitely a little more shy a little more quiet which is kind of crazy

because that's just not who I am not at all Yeah but it was so intimidating because everyone, I've never been on a competition show, you know, like typically we're not out there for money. So it was just a different vibe and it was kind of like survivor. And I don't know. Whose personality surprised you the most? Like obviously I'm assuming you weren't like super

close with a lot of these people. Like you knew of them. But who surprised you the most and how they handled themselves? Okay. So it was like obviously I had, you guys are so bad. We're slowly getting into it. I think that obviously I had beef with Alicia and that was not even like pre-existing historical beef. That was just like on the show because you know people like Ella Sean took her and I was like no man like I saw her come in and I was just like you and Sean that makes sense me and Sean what like what am I doing here so and I was like you know I shared some cute DMs with her like oh my God so happy you were there blah blah and then yeah I just did not work out our personality is just really different and which is weird the tension was just so weird um so obviously alicia joan surprised me too joan and i i was surprised at joan and i were kind of beefing um i have a lot of funny to me i know i have a lot of respect for her like as the as a golden bachelorette and

as a human being but working together in a group you know there's some people that that you don't want to be partners with and it was one big group project pretty much all the time um but Courtney Robertson she was there and I actually like really vived with her I love Courtney I don't know if you guys I know Rachel is listened to what charity have you listened to that podcast the almost famous podcast I have not tell me more what's going on there so so crazy like frothing at the mouth like juicy tea so Courtney let's spill it right now so it's Courtney Trista and Joan and the idea is like that they're gonna and there's like a moderator and they're gonna like squash their beef so first starts off with Joan and Courtney like getting into like

the nitty gritty of like why they're beefing and then it goes into Courtney and Trista and they are like fighting like yelling at each other like no resolution it ends with they're just like um okay like the moderator's kind of like um

wait no way it's really bad like I was I was aghast. Why does that surprise me so much? Because I'm like, Trista. Trista, which is crazy. And also, I feel like Joan is our golden bachelorette. Obviously, we've always seen her in this incredible light.

And there seems to be a lot of drama that happened off camera. Did you see any drama that was going on between Joan and Courtney that wasn't shown or that we did see? No, Jill and the binoculars are sending me. I was up in that bitch. I knew every fucking detail of that. Yes, of course I did. So, yeah, like, I saw everything that was going on. It was like, it was a tough environment.

Like, everyone has their own shit, right? Like, everyone's going through stuff. Courtney's going through stuff. You know, Jones, we're all going through stuff. And so I don't really, you know, their beef is their beef. You can listen to that podcast. I was like, oh, I will. It's, I don't know why this isn't like on like, like on the news.

This is crazy. Oh, so it was that deep. I'm like, I'm at a lost. I'm at a loss of words. Me too. I was, I literally listening to it. I was like, like there were some moments I wanted to take off my headphones. It's insane.

And I feel like Jill, because it is obviously amazing having you in this podcast because I know all the answers and I ask you these questions. but you were going through it during the show because of the drama and the environment. How was that show compared to Paradise or The Bachelor? Because you were more stress than I've ever seen you. No, I know it was so bad. I think, so for Bachelor, it was just like, you know, first show, whatever. I'm just like rolling with the punches.

It was, I kind of expected to be, you know, in my role. So, you know. of all, no. We were having a great time besides the times where we were throwing up and screaming and crying. But we had an amazing time. Yeah. That was very convincing. She's like, yes. Yeah. No, we, I did have like fun, but I knew Clayton and I like from like the jump. I'm just like, yeah, like we're not going to vibe. So it's just like, okay, like I'm here for the amenities. Like I'm going to like jump in the pool. Like I'm going to go on the dates. Like, let's go. Yeah. Um, Bachelor, the first Bachelor

Paradise season I did, I was like, oh my God, it was really bad. I had such a tough time. Dude, I had a run. Like, it was really bad. The first one was a little rough. Dude. The image of Jill running up and down that beach screaming lives in my memory. Not even the half of it. Like, I think,

you know, like Andrew describes it. They're just watching me, like sitting watching me run up and down the beach. Like, It was really bad. Because, you know, I had beef, I had drama. It's fine. And then they did split week and that tore me apart over, you know, fucking Jacob or Pini. God bless him. We'll be somewhere good now.

We'll be good for the couch. But damn, like, it was just, I was fighting for my life. I didn't really know what to do. And then back to the- Two years over here. It would still. And you got roasted online for that couch comment, too. Oh, you're going through that as well.

And then, well, because then I said, I said a lift driver. Like really, I got my heart. No, I do remember that. I was like, it wasn't that. It was the lift. She was going through it. The people were like not happy with her. But it went over better than I thought it would because I literally had like a tweet

drafted to all the ride share drivers. I love you. Like I was like, oh my God. We do. Yes. What am I going to do? But actually it went over pretty well because I think we've all been. in there. We've all been like, this guy, like, this is the dude that I'm fucking in tears over.

Yeah. And like, you know, God bless him. He's, you know, got a special place in the, like, like, a tiny ventricle of my heart. But like, that's it. And then the most recent Bachelor Paradise was actually so fun. I had so much fun. I only cried like a couple times. Wait, and let's talk about it. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Completely different format. Everything. Yeah. I want to know your thoughts. on that. You went into Paradise because you were in a long-term relationship that ended. And as soon as it ended, I told her, I'm like, Jill, you're going to Paradise this year. Rachel, you were the one that convinced her?

I said you have to go to Paradise. You're single. It's a new year. A clean slate. And it was nothing like you expected. No, it was nothing like I expected. But also, so Rachel, you know, when she got the SOS that I had been done, She flew out. And so she was like, Jill, you have to make a statement. And I'm like, let people know that you're single.

And I'm like, no, like, why am I, who do I think I am? Like, I'm not making a statement. I was like,

you have to make a breakup post. Black screen. Breakup pose. With the text, like, please, like asking for prayers. Like,

I'm not going to tell you anything. Privacy at this time. Like, give me privacy. Like, clickbait as hell. And then I ended up just doing, like copying Matt, Matt James and Rachel Kirklandle's breakup, Father God, please.

I'm actually dead. You posted that, Jill? Yeah, so I took a screenshot of like of his caption. I just like scribbled out like Rachel, Father God, please do it. I'm done. It got the casting producer's attention and they said Jill. The message was received and literally like two weeks after they called me for Bachelor. in paradise. And I was like, all right. I like, I'll be in. No, she was like, I cried for like,

point two seconds. And she was like, yes, I'm, I'm going. I'm absolutely going. Jill, I want to talk about your and Susie's arrival day. You guys got there. It must have been 11 p.m. at night. It was thunderstorming. Tell us what that was like arriving to paradise in those conditions. Dude. Jill was like the writing was on the wall. Like I was just like, well, no, because when you show up to Paradise, usually like, you know, second round, like this is, you know, after the first row ceremony. It's like, those are when like the heavy hitters coming. So I'm like, I'm coming with a date card.

Like, this will be great. And then, you know, they're like, be ready at 6 p.m. I'm sitting in my room fucking dolled up and I'm waiting. There's storms rolling in so they can't film during the storms. I'm like, shit. And I'm like, is there? I literally said, is anybody still a little? awake. Like, is this skin? Like, what are people wearing? What's the vibe? And I walk in and, you know,

it's nighttime. People don't really care. And it is crickets. Like, when I walk in, you can tell, I was like, oh my God, it's so quiet. I literally said, oh, my God, it's so quiet because I'm like, and people are looking at me like, it was a nightmare. And then someone said, oh, I thought you were here to host something, not like be part of the show. And I was like, stop. At least that means you're iconic but when you go down you expect a round of applause. Who said that? Who said that? Let's ask them right now.

It was cat. It was cat. It was cat. Oh, cat is though. She tried it. But I mean, yeah, flattering a guess, but then I looked around and I was like, okay, there were literally four guys and, you know, all booed up. And then Susie comes in, God bless her, she comes in with the fucking umbrella.

And then Justin's there. And it was just like set up. I'm like, you set my ass up. You set my ass up. They really did. I think that format was insane only having, what was it, six guys? Beyond insane. They did you guys also dirty.

Dude, and two of them were on a date, so I had literally four guys. And I'm like, you know, Justin's like my brother. And I'm like, like, incest. Like, it's just weird. So, yeah, it was, it was, and we only had 24 hours. The next day was a rose ceremony. That is, like, ridiculous. Like, I would have been.

like actually I'm just going to leave like there's no need for me. Oh, and then I went back. I went back to my room crying and I was like. And then Susie and I were like, yo, you want to go to a visa after? Like we're planning our next trip because we got all these clothes for paradise. We're like, all right, like let's go somewhere. Mm-hmm. You've heard the chaos.

I was kidnapped and held captive For nine months I survived and I've spent my life exploring how other people survive what should have destroyed them. I'm Elizabeth Smart, and these are the Survivor Files. I just remember this low, taunting voice next to my ear saying, shut up, don't say anything. Every week, I'm with survivors who lived through the unthinkable.

I knew if he woke up, without a doubt, he was going to hurt me. I started feeling that there was someone at the end of my bed, and I just started screaming. They are abducted, stalked, controlled, and nearly silenced. But these aren't stories about what's taken from them. There's stories about what it takes to make it out alive. Listen to the Survivor Files with Elizabeth Smart on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. If your bookshelf and your for you page are equally important to your personality, welcome home. This is Prose Society, the weekly podcast that's part bookbook. Club, part group chat for thought daughters, pop culture obsessives, and anyone who thinks pride and

prejudice and love island deserve the same level of discourse. I'm Eli Rallo and every week we're connecting the dots between books, the internet, and the conversations everyone can't stop having. I'm going to have to look up this story. I'm obsessed. So I'm obsessed. From bestselling authors and your favorite book talk creators to the latest pop culture moments, nothing is off the table. It's like if you can hide some real messages inside compelling characters, and that is a Trojan horse. Whether you're looking for literary deep dives, smart pop culture conversations, or a community of readers who love to think a little too much, you're in the right place. Listen to Pro Society on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

See you between the pages. Hey, this is Hayes Davenport. And Sean Clements. We host the podcast Hollywood Handbook on the Big Money Players Network. Our show is extremely accessible to first-time listeners. Each week we talk to someone in show business, aka the biz, and try to help them with their careers and see what they have to offer us. Everyone has a good time and no one gets mad at their publicists for letting them do our show.

We've had a lot of great guests like Sarah Sherman, not that great. Actually, can you help me shape this? How about we flip it on his head, right? How about we flip the script? What is the surprise woman? But actually you think is the straight man is actually the one who's acting weird. Adam Scott, this entire time you've been expecting Adam Sandler to come to visit the show. I would never expect.

I would never set expectations for something like that to happen. If the universe allows for something like that to happen, I'm open to it. I'm always going to accept. You know, Danny McBride, fine. Yeah, it's all this fragile masculinity exuding. I could smell it walking down the hallway, to be honest with you. I was like, is that weed? Nope, it's fragile masculinity.

Ben Stiller, no. Because a lot of times out of context, people don't get it or even know what a circle is. You know what I mean? They're like, oh, what's a state. Everyone's so dumb. And fake. Right, fake and also not interested. Or just like, oh, I've got my life.

I don't care about your life. and a lot of other big shots that wouldn't be where they are without us. Oh, and by the way, Will Ferrell told us personally he loves the show and he wants to be a guest on every episode, but he's just so busy. Listen to Hollywood Handbook on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On the new podcast Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman. I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I chose option B.

I'm Julie Pinheiro, and I travel by my... because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word solita, trading the pity for possibility. Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people and they were like, you smiled at us. Not a lot of people smile around here. It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is and not the lies you're sold about it. It can be a time where you push your limits, change your mind, or wake up. to a new version of yourself.

So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip, I hope you listen to Solita on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Absolutely insane. You ended up having a connection with a couple of people.

Oh. Yeah. I'm like, who did she leave Paradise with, not that I'll know of. Let's talk about it. You had a connection with Jonathan. Sure. How did that go?

Sure. From your side. From my perspective, see, this is... Because I've... It is, like... Publicly had this conversation with Jonathan. No, I know. Like, I want to know your point of view from your Paradise Connections.

Okay. Well, like, you know, Jonathan was, I would say, like, a trusted friend. I'd never met him, but I knew through you, Rachel. I was like, I mean, and you... And you're responsible. for this too. I'm not like you all fuck. So she was like Jonathan's a good guy like you know if you can find Jonathan like he's a good guy and I was like all right fine. So I go up there's nobody nobody for me to take on a date I was like Dale that. I was like Jeremy. Like I was just like oh my god and I was like you know what

let me just ask Jonathan I was just like as a friend do you want to go on this friend date with me whatever BS. And then we actually ended up having like a really good time. Like we had a good time. We were playing fucking Twister. It was okay. You know, why am I doing Twister in the hotel? I was like, okay, cool. I'm going to go on a date in Bachelor of Paradise. Where are we going? Oh, we're going to the presidential suite to do Twister. Oh, okay. Um, so whatever. He kisses me during Twister. Didn't have to kiss me during Twister by the way but he did so I was like okay then we just making a moment and I'm like yeah right exactly

so you know we were talking we talked for probably like 45 minutes an hour just like the two of us and it was really nice we were like kind of getting into it and I was like okay like this is this could be something so obviously I'm to like shoot my shot like I'm gonna try I want to stick around with like a whole little

like damn so you know he I don't know I don't know the order of operation but he basically I was like just letting him know like hey like I had a good time if you're down like I'm down like I'm open and then what did he say Rachel what he say to me he was like something crazy I forget what it was too oh you're making my decision hard oh yeah you're making my decision harder I said hmm oh she said this chance and he was with Alex at that point so I'm like okay so in the row ceremony happens obviously like Justin tries to see if to Susie That falls through that whole thing. It ends up giving to me. Pity Rose, fine.

I'll take it. Not the Hail Mary Rose. And it was iconic. It was. It was a Hail Mary. Yeah. So I'm just like, okay, I felt so bad for Susie. He was so bad.

Lexi was just a mess. And then afterwards, I was like, why? I said, don't ever play in my face ever again. Because don't tell me that there's a chance. Like, so I said that he's like, I was playing your face. Okay, whatever. Did this make screen? Because I support this.

Don't ever play in my face. No, that didn't make screen. But then he was like, but then after, then the next rose ceremony, guess what? Guess who needs a rose? He does. He does. And then I'm like, no, I'm going to get my rest to Sean because we went on one day and now we're like, you know, I'm just like, at least I'm to choose me. Yeah, right.

I'm just like, all right. I guess I'll take this girl because she'll give me a rose. No, it's Sean. I'm like, it's Sean. Yeah, I'm like, all right. Like, it's just that kind of beat. Like we knew, like, I knew. He, like, showed me into his room and it was like a pharmacy of like, oh, this is my

skincare and this is my this is my, and this is my. Is this Sean? We're talking about. This is Sean or Jonathan? This is Sean. I actually, I do love that. He's like, he's a looks maxer. And you know what?

I'm behind it. I'm behind it. And like, God bless him, but I'm like, all right, like my skin care is like Nutrugina wipes at night. Like, I don't really know. Tate McRae could never. Like, so I just, it just wasn't a vibe. Like, I remember being like, dude, I should probably kiss him.

Like, I should probably, like, try. And it was just bad. It was bad. And then he was, like, making out the April in front of me. And I was like, oh. Beyond. No, April was, like, stealing my man, like, low-key. Be beyond.

It was wild. And then once I saw that, I was like, I've had enough. And then I was, like, dressed as a bird. And I'm like, yeah, I'm leaving. I'm getting out of here. And it was so fun. I was like, I'm having a really good time. But who is here for me?

Who can I date? Literally nobody. So I'm like, yeah, that season of Paradise was hard. It was really hard. I just feel like it wasn't like crafted, like casted well. Like it just was all over the place in my opinion. In terms of like also who I would believe would be compatible, I'm like, yeah, none of this makes sense. And it's actually like obviously I love the couples that are still together from that season, but I'm going to say I'm surprised.

I will say that. Yeah. And then like, you know. know, Sam and Ali Joe. Like, they're together now. They missed each other by a second. Which is crazy. Yeah.

Well, I'm curious because you got to experience both the old paradise and the new. What about the new would you keep and what would you do away with if they were to do another season, which they are? I think they are. That's crazy. Okay. So I would keep the AC. I kind of liked like the like the shanty kind of vibes of, you know,

the old place. Because, you know, you hear the waves and whatever. Did I like being breaded in my own sweat and sand every night? No. But I thought it was like kind of cool. So I would keep that.

And then keep the bedtimes too. We got to go to bed. And they were like, just be out by 10 a.m. And I was like, yes. So I would keep all that. but then, I don't know, maybe just like a slightly better beach location, because we didn't

really go. I went into the ocean like once, maybe twice. What did you think about like the competition aspect? Oh, I wasn't even here for the competition aspect. I wasn't there. But I thought it was kind of like I would get, I would also do away with the money. Give her the money. Like, come on.

I mean, like, do I want the money? Yes. But I think it just added a weird element where people were just. like sticking together so they could be a part of a couple and then get money i just think it doesn't work for like our franchise i think we like at our core like all of us i think we are like you know we can be very dangerous people when money is involved i think everyone has that in them so it's like i think it brought out the worst like not in a good way you know and also you know i i do feel like our franchise is so obsessed well i think all reality tv is now obsessed with like the edit and how it's going to look so it's like

who's going to take the money and leave their you know honestly hello right no one's going to so i mean i i would say pay i would say give us the money up front how about bump that you know daily rate something like day you know who i thought would actually take the money like she's kind of kill me for saying this but actually probably not i think dale would have taken the money and not yeah i could take that yeah i can like it's so on brand i'm so sorry Yeah. He's such a, he's, he's an interesting one. It was good to meet, like, all these, like, other people, but, yeah, it was,

it was what it was crazy. Yeah. So we didn't see you find love on the Bachelor franchise, unfortunately. But can you give our listeners an update on your love life today? No. Now. Yes. So, okay, by the time this airs, I will have hard launched.

My boyfriend. Do you have plans to do it this week? Yeah. Yeah, because the anniversary of our first date was, dude, we've been together for a year. We've been together for a year. Wait, tell us about him. Oh my gosh, Jill, this is amazing. Good for you.

I'm so happy. Hidden away for a year. That's amazing. Yeah, so, and then we took, like, how we're going to do it. This is like, I've always wanted to take a tin type. Do you know what tin type is? No, explain. Okay.

So, you know, those big. big old cameras. This is so me, you know, like, those big old cameras, you'd, like, sit for, like, 10 minutes, and then it comes out on a, like, an actual piece of metal. Oh. So, like, that's how they, the photos were taken, like, back in, you know, 1840. The year old. The year old. So I was like, I've always wanted to take a tin type. So for my birthday, he surprised me with tin types, and we took pictures. And so we're going to do that. You look stunning. I'm like, come a model. No, it's like, it's giving like, okay, like get us into the mind.

When I was 14 years old, I was kidnapped and held captive for nine months. I survived and I've spent my life exploring how other people survive what should have destroyed them. I'm Elizabeth Smart and these are the Survivor Files. I just remember this low, taunting, voice next to my ear saying shut up, don't say anything. Every week, I'm with survivors who live through the unthinkable. I knew if he woke up, without a doubt, he was going to hurt me. I started feeling that there was someone at the end of my bed, and I just started screaming.

They are abducted, stalked, controlled, and nearly silenced. But these aren't stories about what's taken from them. There's stories about what it takes to make it out alive. Listen to The Survivor Files with Elizabeth Smart on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. If your bookshelf and your For You page are equally important to your personality, welcome home. This is Prose Society, the weekly podcast that's part book club, part group chat for thought daughters, pop culture obsessives, and anyone who thinks Pride and Prejudice and Love Island deserve the same level of distance. course. I'm Eli Rallo and every week we're connecting the dots between books, the internet,

and the conversations everyone can't stop having. I'm going to have to look up this story. I'm obsessed. Someone says. From bestselling authors and your favorite book talk creators to the latest pop culture moments, nothing is off the table. It's like if you can hide some real messages inside compelling characters, then that is a Trojan horse. Whether you're looking for literary deep dives, smart pop culture conversations, or a community of readers who love to think a little too much, you're in the right place. Listen to Pro Society on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

See you between the pages. On the new podcast Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman. I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I chose option B. I'm Julie Pinero, and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word solita, trading the pity for possibility. Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people and they were like,

you smiled at us. Not a lot of people smile around here. It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is and not the lies you're sold about it. It can be a time where you push your limits, change your mind, or wake up to a new version of yourself. So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip, I hope you listen to Solita on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, this is Hayes Davenport. And Sean Clements. We host the podcast Hollywood Handbook on the Big Money Players Network.

Our show is extremely accessible to first-time listeners. Each week, we talk to someone in show business, aka the biz, and try to help them with their careers and see what they have to offer us. Everyone has a good time and no one gets mad at their publicists for letting them do our show. We've had a lot of great guests like Sarah Sherman, not that great. Actually, can you help me shape this? How about we flip it on his head, right? How about we flip this script?

What is the surprise woman? Actually, you think is the straight man is actually the one who's acting weird. Adam Scott. This entire time, you've been expecting Adam Sandler to come to the, visit the show. I would never expect. I would never set expectations for something like that to happen. If the

universe allows for something like that to happen, I'm open to it. I'm always going to accept. You know, Danny McBride, fine. Yeah, it's all this fragile masculinity exuding. I could smell it walking down the hallway, to be honest with you. I was like, is that weed? Nope.

It's fragile masculinity. Ben Stiller, no. Because a lot of times out of context, people don't get it or even know what a circle is. You know what I mean? They're like, oh, what's a state. Everyone's so dumb except for you. And fake. Right, fake and also not interested or just like, oh, I've got my life.

I don't care about your life. And a lot of other big shots that wouldn't be where they are without us. Oh, and by the way, Will Ferrell told us personally he loves the show and he wants to be a guest on every episode, but he's just so busy. Listen to Hollywood Handbook on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast. or wherever you get your podcasts. Wait, okay, so can you tell us, like, how you guys met? I need to know. Yeah.

I love organic stuff. Yes. Yeah, we could say organic. No, it was. So, okay, so I was on the hellscape that is hinge, obviously. Mm-hmm. And I was, like, going on dates with, like, some, like, whack people. Like, you know, it's just, like, bad.

I was just like, you know what? Like, let me just try it. I haven't gone on a date in so long. let me just fucking do it so whatever did a couple practice runs and then um i matched with him on hinge but it's crazy because i saw him and i know him from high school he went to my high school and so yeah so i screenshot it's the invisible string no i know so like i screenshot his profile we both did the same thing we screen shouted each other's profile and we sent it to the group chat and i was like guys it's like what do i do it's like joe you have to you have to do this for i was like clean

Like you have because back in like high school we all had my friend group had a crush on him because like he was in a band like he hung out with all the cool kids like he was kind of this year so so they're like Jill you have to do it for us and I was like fine fine fine and he was doing the same thing in his group chat like guys like and he literally said to his group chat he was like the stakes have never been higher. Anyway funny the stakes have never been higher. I love that. I know. So then we went on a date. And so he was only supposed to, like, we're only supposed to get dinner. So we get dinner. And then we come back to my place.

And we're talking, talking, talking. And then it's 2 o'clock in the morning. And I'm like, you can't, like, drive home right now because it looks like two hours away. So I was like, you can't drive home right now. And then so we just like literally laid in bed. We did not sleep a wink. We literally just were like, like so nervous.

We're like, oh my God. And it was like, it was so crazy. But I could just like feel. It was like electricity. be like it was really like crazy it it was honestly kind of disgusting like to be like sick in love you know what i'm saying that's okay no i i love it i'm like oh my god i'm actually like like sick um yeah and that was a year ago and yeah and you're just happy and glowing and i know i'm so happy oh my god it's so nice to have somebody who just like you're just like you're just like you're

you're not, I feel like with all my other, you know, with all my exes, my head was on a swivel. Like, I just didn't, like, trust, you know. That's the worst. And having, it's so bad. And just having somebody who, like, shows up consistently, like, gentlemanly in a non-misogynistic way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Love that. Um, just supportive and, like, truly, I, I just, oh my God, I love him so much.

So he's the best. I need to meet him ASAP. Well, you will in two weeks. I know. I'm excited for your guys' hard launch. Are there any other big steps that could be coming up in the future? I mean, I would love to. We were supposed to move in together this fall.

I was going to ask. Okay, Hugh. So we were supposed to. But so the thing is, yo, I had some crazy shit happen. Like with my housing situation, I'm like in the middle of moving. And he teaches. So he is a, he teaches carpentry at a high school and which is like perfect for me. And he can fix all my stuff and he, you know, does carpentry.

We love that. And so he teaches and in Massachusetts and I'm in Rhode Island. And so, you know, like the licensing and everything for teaching. So, you know, we couldn't make it work with the job. And then my landlord decided to sell my apartment, which I'm now vacating. So it was just like a whole slew of things, which is. why we didn't move in. But hopefully next year, fingers crossed after the school year. Wait, Jill, are you in Newport? I am. Yeah, dude. I love that place so much. Okay, so Rachel's

coming to see you soon, but I will have to come and also see you because Dot has not been to Newport and I'm like raving. I've been at this point two or three times and I'm like, it's quite literally one of my favorite cities. It is beautiful. The best place. And, And obviously, like, the summer is the best time. And it's so funny because I feel like now all I'm seeing is people come to Newport. All the influencers. All the influencers. Haley Bieber was in Newport.

You know, Haley Bieber was in Newport. Did she stop? Jill approved the road pop up. It's so great thing. She did. And I was like, yo. Because I work at City Hall, so whatever. But, yeah.

So everyone's just kind of discovering like, whoa, Newport. Yeah. So cool. It's cool to see. And I'm happy to be here. My lifestyle here is the best. I dip in the ocean like every night. I can walk to the water. Like I walk to work. It's just like it's the best. It's perfect. No, it really is perfect. It's also I would argue like fall is also unmatched there. You were like summer's the best. But I was like the fall there is quite literally out of a scene of a movie. No, literally like the pumpkin pass. Yes. Just like it's just perfect. So it's really good.

Rachel, let's plan to go visit Jill too. I want to come. Absolutely. I am always down for a trip and I can't wait to see you soon. But before we let you go, Jill, we are going to play a little game. We're going to show you some behind the scenes photos that the audience has never seen and you are going to give us the backstory to the photos. And if you are listening on audio, you can go to the Bachelor Happy Hour Instagram and you can see all the photos there. I'm so excited for these.

I cannot. So this was taken at the old paradise in the girls getting ready room, the girls' vanity room. And it is of lace, Brittany, Jill, Serene, Genevieve, Chenet, and Victoria Fuller. And everyone is looking absolutely stunning in their row ceremony outfit. Yeah, except for me, dude. Oh, you look amazing. Yeah, I'm like, Joe, don't start this. I thought I was eating like so hard.

I liked the billy chain. You are. Okay. I'm like everyone's glowing, tan, like bronze. I'm like this is like sun kissed. Yeah. I think I forget like if the girls had the roses this time or not. But I also like, why am I so short?

I didn't realize that how like short I was until I saw. How tall are you? I'm 5'3. Oh. Normal. You and Jen look the same height. Yeah. You're probably just barefoot.

I am barefoot. I don't know. No, you can see us all glistening in sweat. Like that was crazy. So, yeah, that paradise, I was like, oh, my God, I'm going to have, like, belly out, whatever. I was also, like, shopping for myself. So it was just, like, bad time. And then I remember reading the comments, you're like, why should wear pregnancy clothes?

So I was four. Pregnancy clothes. Jill, this is not the B-TOP. Yes, we're talking about you look fantastic. Tell us what was happening in the moment. What was the drama? What was happening? It's like before the rose ceremony.

Who did I give this rose to Jacob? I probably gave the rose to Jacob, which is pretty tough. This was before split week. So this is probably my last night of like peace. Last night of peace. I love this photo. I also love the fact that Chenet. is in this photo and everyone had such beef with her coming off of our season and then in paradise

she just had a full redemption arc no one thousand percent it was kind of crazy okay i love this uh okay so this next photo is of jill and the iconic bob wig the bob wait i'm like it's kind of eaten on you I'm like, it eats on everyone. What's up with this bob? I know. I need to get into that. Dude, I used to have a bob when I was little.

But I have a good face for it. Oh, thank you. You do too. Brilliant. So this was when we were in Paradise Season 10, and it was storming. So like, obviously in Costa Rica, every night there were big storms. And so, you know, if lightning strikes, you have to wait 30 minutes before you can pick up filming so we were just like in our rooms and they kept us separate from the boys just like i hate when

they do that so they keep us separate from the boys and bailey had brought the bob like she had brought some wigs and so we're all trying it on um and we were singing you know that song gooputab bob bob yeah yeah and then um so we were you know we were all donning the bob and then you know she went down and the boys tried it on too um and then i put on my big glasses to be like Edna mode. I was going to say it's giving Edna with the glasses. But you're still serving. Yeah.

Thank you. It's kind of hot. Love. Yeah. Oh my God, Jill. Yeah, that's accurate. This is funny. This is really funny.

You need to describe this because you do this all the time in every season. Yeah, I know. I do this all the time. This is just classic. So I'm laying in bed and I have my journal, which I only, I only journaled during duress. Like, so Paradise, I have like, you know, Bachelor, Paradise, Paradise Again, HGTV, like, I have these, you know, journals.

And then, so I have a rose on my stomach and I'm laying in bed and I'm crying, sobbing loudly. And I believe that was a screenshot that was taken from a BTS of me, you know, just being like, oh my God, like, thank God I got a rose because that was. Hail Mary Rose. That was the one that I got it from Justin. And yeah, so I was just like, holy shit, like I'm actually here. I packed. Like, I was like, all right, like, when's my flight?

Like, let's go. And then I was there. And you were there. And I was there. And I realized after the fact that the girls that I went home were not so happy. That's there. They were so big. I don't know.

What? She said. They hadn't been through what we've been through with Jesse Palmer. When he gave you that, Rose, I said, if it's not going to Susie, it's not going to Lexi, it has got to jail. Yeah. And I mean, like, and I was worried that it was like a plant. So I was like, guys, like, I'm really okay.

Like, you can give it to somebody else. Like, it's fine. And then they're like, you know, like Justin specifically asks that you say. And I'm like, oh, okay. And then I saw him after wheeling his fucking baggie out. And he goes, and he just goes, go get him tiger. Oh, wait. I love that.

I do love that. I love Justin so much. I text him just like funny memes or when someone does something whack on the internet. I said it to him. He is insane too, but I love how insane he is. He's the one person. I feel like that can always make him. Yeah, he's so ridiculous.
