What do you think it is about your cowboy sweetheart that makes your relationship work so well? Tyler compliments me in all the best ways. For example, I'm a planner and he's very spontaneous. And when I get all anxious and whipped up, he is very go with the flow and very even keeled. Oh, that's, so you guys balance each other out. Yes, and also, like, I like sweet foods.

We both love going to amusement parks. We both love going to church. Oh, amazing. Does Tyler play the guitar for you? He does. You know, he's working on an upcoming album, and he's written several songs about me. I was going to ask,

has he written any songs about you? I mean, he's perfect. Do you guys think you're going to dance to one of his songs for your first dance, or do you have another one of mine? We're deciding, like, doing his, own music like we're doing thinking about doing his own music and he serenades me while we do our first dance i can't that's our plan madison that is a dream that would truly be a dream wedding i want i'm like can he teach dot and how to sing in time for our wedding because he knows the cord he knows the chords

to every song that's beautiful oh he is very musically yeah he's very smart love that i have a question So we saw your engagement play out on TV just like The Bachelor. What was that like watching that all back? It was very happy and emotional watching it all back. He took me back to the place where we had our very first date, which was very special. Yes, I saw that. And then at the end, you guys had an engagement party. Yes, where all the cast came together.

And I and three of my good friends from church came. My aide, Megan, from childhood, flew from California to full. Florida to surprise me, which was very special. And all of Tyler's family came. That is very sweet. That is very sweet. And my parents and my brother were there. That is a dream engagement.

And I loved watching it. No, it was, I just finished watching it. Like, I want to say, two weeks ago, and I was crying. It brought me to tears when he started playing the song for you. And you guys were dancing and having just a special moment in front of everybody. It almost felt like it was just like you guys there. even though you had all your family and friends, it just kind of took us in. And we got to see just all the love in y'all's relationship in that moment.

I had no idea he wrote those songs for me. Oh, you did. And so he kept it a surprise. I'm like, I'm going to cry. He kept it a surprise for that moment. Yes. That's beautiful. He's very special.

Oh, my goodness. Madison, so you're living in Plant City? Yes. How are you liking it in Florida and being closer to your cowboy sweetheart? Yeah, before I dated Tyler, like when season three filmed, I was living in St. Pete at the time. Okay. But I did grow up in California and Massachusetts. Okay.

What's it like being in Florida? I'm from Florida. So I know it gets very, very hot there. Lots of storms. Yes. But, but like I am loving, I am loving living in Plant City, just being five minutes away from Tyler. We've got a church together. Amazing.

Like another way Tyler compliments me is I love dressing up and he is not into dressing up.

So did you have all your outfits planned for your trip in Disney World? Yeah, like I'd all my princess dress is all planned out and I'd all my princess drift. I'd all my pins. Whereas Tyler, he's just, he's just all like, he's just all plain button ups and cowboy hats. No matter where it is. He's not a dress up person. I love that he lets you be the star. Did you get to meet any of the princesses when you were there?

I got to meet my favorite princess, which is Belle. Oh, my goodness. When I was little, it was snow white. Oh, my gosh, I love Belle. Was she in her yellow dress, or was she in her blue one? She was in her yellow dress. That's my favorite. I love that.

What was your favorite park? Do you have a favorite park? Magic Kingdom, especially Fantasyland. Correct. It's a classic. I'm like, you can't beat Magic Kingdom. What's your favorite ride?

Okay, we're going to go into some Bachelor stuff, if that's okay, because I know that's like probably one of your favorites, if not. Okay, so you mentioned being a fan of Bachelor Nation. So I'm curious what originally made you love the shows like The Bachelor? Yes, I believe I was in seventh grade at the time. And my friends were getting into the show. and then Brad Wilmack was the bachelor at the time. We were just talking about him.

Yeah, that was. That was a while ago. 2010, 2011. Yeah. And I, and then I just, and then I got into a season. And then Emily Maynard won that season. Ashley became Bachelorette. Mm-hmm.

And I, and then, and then Ashley found love with J.P. that summer when I first moved to Massachusetts. Oh. And then following, following year, I mean, I remember watching Ben's season, and he's from where I grew up in California. And I remember watching his season, and then I just became hooked ever since then. Those were good seasons. You got in when it was peak.

Charity's favorite was Ashley. Ashley is my favorite Bachelorette, like, hands down. That was like one of the first seasons I've ever watched, and I love her. Do you have a favorite season? you know like you know like I would say one of the best moments was seeing Sean and Catherine get married oh I mean I'm right there with you that wedding was beautiful yes because I kind of knew when when Sean chose Catherine at the end of his season that they would get married do you do you try to guess before the season starts of who might be the final person

at the end yeah I kind of have a I kind of have a feeling like I kind of felt like in Sean like Like when Sean gave Tierra the first impression rose and she became the bad girl. Yes, we remember her and her scarf. Oh my goodness. I love that. Okay. Yeah. Are there any people that you connect with watching the show or any favorite contestants?

It was I, ironically looking. Ironically, I went to high school with Juliana Pascarosa's cousins. Oh, wow. in Massachusetts, I met Juliana Pascarosa at her cousin's graduation party in 2015. Oh, wow. That's amazing. And I graduated high school the next year and saw her again at her cousin that was in my graduating class classes graduation party.

So it was her cousin, Alana, who's graduation party met her at. And I saw her again her cousin Sophia's party the next year. Oh, wow. So you guys have kind of always known each other or seen each other. Yeah. It's such a small town where I grew up. And so it was so funny all these years later, seeing her on the, seeing her on The Bachelor.

I'm like, I know her. I was going to ask, how was it when you saw that she was going to be on this show? I was like, it was like, wait, I know her. And I'm like, I'm like, I was like, wait, I know her. Were you surprised when she got engaged or were you so excited? I was so excited. I was so excited for it. And the fact that she kept making it week after week, I was rooting.

I was rooting for her. I'm like, this girl's from where I'm from. And I was like, wait, I know her. And the fact they showed Massachusetts, they showed Boston. I was like, wait, I'm like, I want this girl to win. The fact that she, the fact that her cousins were in her cousins that I went to high school with were in my home, we're in her hometown date. I was like, pausing. I was like, that's them.

Oh, you saw everyone you knew. That's so special. I'm sure they were excited watching you as well. Yes, they were. Did you get a chance to meet Giulia? Wait, or have you seen Juliana recently? You know, what's so funny was she and her cousins FaceTimed me about a year ago. Oh.

What a special relationship? And then Grant was there, too, so I got to meet Grant over FaceTime as well. Did you like Grant? Yes, he was so nice. It was like they were on a trip in Fort Lauderdale. That's sweet. Oh, so they were close to you. Yeah, yeah.

Out of all the shows, The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, and Bachelor in Paradise, which one do you like watching the most? I like all of them. Us too. I don't know if I could pick. She's a true fan. She's a real one. If you could go on any of them just for fun, which one would you pick to go on?

Like, to be honest, like, as much as I love The Bachelor, I've already found love on the spectrum. That's correct, sister. I love that answer. She said, I got my sweetheart. She has the ring and the cowboy sweetheart. I love that. Madison, have you had the chance to watch The Golden Bachelor or Bachelorette?

Yes, of course. I've watched Gary Seas and Jones season, Mel's season. I've watched it all. Oh, my God. Do you have any favorites from The Golden's? I would, to be honest, like, I enjoyed watching all of it. All of them. They are very fun.

Did you see the Golden Wedding? as well. I did see Gary and Teresa's wedding and I'm sad it didn't work out for them. Us too. She's a sweetheart. We are very sad. We were there and very heartbroken after. I have a question. What do you think shows like The Bachelor get right or wrong about love compared to your experience on love on the spectrum? I enjoy the drama on The Bachelor's. It's very entertaining. It is entertaining. Yes, but I love how love on the spectrum is very sweet. Yes, yes, I would agree. It's very wholesome.

You guys, it's straight to the point. There's no, there's no messing around. It's about love. I agree. The drama is fun to watch, not very fun to be a part of. So I'm glad you got your engagement ring, you got your man, and you didn't have to go through. And you're a drama. Yeah, Charity, like, with, like on your season, there was drama with Braden.

I met Braden in Nashville last summer at CMA Fest, and he was so nice. See, and you know what? He is so nice. He was nice. He was the opposite of how he was portrayed on TV. You're right. It's very true. You're telling me.

I was shocked too. I told Braden I'd mail him some earrings. Oh, we. He would love that. He really would. Rachel, you got to meet Braden on Bachelor in Paradise. I did. Rachel, too, had her time.

I think I still have one of his earrings. He loves earrings. Did you get to meet Christina as well? I did. Christina Mandrell. She was villainized on Zach. I was going to say you saw her. saw her on Zach's season.

She was much nicer in person than she was on TV. And that's usually how it goes. It's crazy. But yes, me and Christina and Braden are all friends now, and life is good. So we love that. Yes. Okay, we're going to go into Autism Acceptance Month. That's April.

And so we love how much awareness and how much you advocate for it. So what does autism mean to you personally? autism for me autism is a journey non-disorder autism is meant to make you it is not meant to break you yeah there's so many gifts associated with autism for for me i can i'm a speedy crafter i like i like i can make jewelry i can make jewelry very i can so very very very speedy and some get and some other gifts i have is i know the whole entire disney encyclopedia i know everything about there is to know about bachelor bachelor nation and i i know an american girl dolls were were released and and and i've a and i know to say hello in 50 languages oh my goodness that's amazing madison yeah i have i've had

To be clear, 84 was big to me, not just because of crack. I'm down to talk about crack on day, but just so y'all know. I mean, at this point, Mark, this is the second episode where we've discussed crack. so I'm starting to see that there's a through line. We also have AIDS on the table right now. Thank you for finishing that sentence.

Yes. I don't think there's a more important year for black people. Really? Yeah. For me, it's one of the most important years for black people in American history. Listen to look back at it on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Do you feel like the media is improving in how it portrays autism? Yes, it's definitely improving. a lot since I was a kid because autism has become a lot more prevalent now. Autism is a spectrum, so autism comes in every different shape and size nowadays. Yes. And I love how it's being, you guys obviously have your own show now. So we're getting to see like, you know, the life and the intricacies of that. So that's really special. And one saying about autism is if you've met one person with autism, you've met one person with autism. That means no two people on the spectrum are the same.

That's right. I love that saying. That is so true. That's beautiful. All right. The last question. What are some ways people can be better allies to autistic individuals in everyday settings? This question. I would say, I definitely would say for that one is by including others on the spectrum, no matter if it's school or in public, like having a sensory friendly room like at loud events, like concerts or sporting events because I get overwhelmed in those situations. and nowadays people are becoming more inclusive of that. Like they even hand out sensory bags, which I tend to provide for myself. Because I'd rather use my own stuff than use what's provided. Because I've been doing that long before that stuff became prevalent.

Right. What do you keep in your sensory bag? Like tons of fiddits, dolls, beads. Everything that can help. I love it. Noise cancelling headphones. I was going to say, do you have noise cancelling? I'm like, I do like this.

When I fly, those help a lot. Yes. Amazing. Well, Madison, you are awesome and you're advocating for autism, and we love how April is Autism Awareness Month, and we are going to forever do what we can to continue to support an uplift always. Thank you. Yes.

Okay, before we go, do you mind if we pay a little Bachelor super fan game? Of course. Okay. These are going to be fun questions, I'm excited to hear your answer. Okay. Would you rather have your one-on-one date be on a yacht or a helicopter? A yacht or a cruise ship?

She said. I had a cruise ship, so I feel you better than the helicopter. I remember you and Gabby's season was on a cruise ship and you guys stopped in Paris, which is my dream. Yes, we did. I remember it was like you and Tino and Gabby and Jason had that one-on-one date. We did in Paris. I remember it was raining. It was a beautiful date.

It was a dream. Yes. The best part. I love their season. Okay. Would you have a Disney Day with Hannah Brown or do bracelet making with Jojo Fletcher? Hannah Brown because she's the I,

the Taylor Swift of Bachelor Nation, as everyone likes to call her. Period. She is. Honestly, yes. Having a Disney Day with Hannah Brown would be so much fun. It would be like, she would. make it so special too.

Like I actually kind of need this to happen now. Like every like like just from watching Colton season back like like like I could like I could tell like she was going to be the Bachelorette the next season. Oh you knew. Like I can't even though she was, she was portrayed as the villain. It was like all these people. Everyone kind of wanted her to be the bachelorette and then she was on dancing with the stars one dancing with the stars.

That woman is an icon. Oh, she is an icon. Hannah, make sure you watch this episode. I know. Hannah's going to be so excited to you. hear this. Yeah, I also want to meet Maddie Pruitt. Oh, yeah. Pilot Pete's season. Because he's very strong in her, in her Christian face.

Yes, she is. Okay, would you rather go on a double date with Joey and Kelsey or Alex and Andrew? Joey and Kelsey, because I met them last summer at CMA Fest in the Spotify lounge and they were very nice. Oh, they are actual angels. I think you can't lose with either. They would be great to double date with. Truly. Okay. Go have a girls' night with

Caitlin Bristow or Gentrian. I am torn because I met Caitlin in the Spotify lounge at CMA Fest last summer, and she's an icon. And also, Jen and I are both from Boston. Oh, amazing. You've met so many people. I'm like, you literally know everyone. She knows more people than meet.

Holy sweet and greets last summer. Yes. And I bet they're just as excited to meet you. Honestly. I told Caitlin that I watched her season. Oh. Caitlin had a great season, didn't she? I think one of the best seasons.

It was so funny because Nick Vile, he was on Andy's season, then he was on Bachelor in Paradise. He was again on Caitlin season. Then he went back to Bachelor in Paradise. Then he went back to Bachelor in Paradise. Then he became The Bachelor. I think he holds the record. No, he does. I'm like, he wasn't giving up.

He really wasn't. He's another Bachelor Nation icon that I want to meet. Oh, he would be so excited. He'll probably meet you at the Netflix summer event. Then he started Age of Attraction. There we go. Have you watched? as well. Yes, it's another good show.

And then all, and then when Tyler and then when, and then when Tyler and I and all the other love on the spectrum cast, we were at the premiere, then the age of attraction people, they had their premiere the same week. Oh, yes, they did. Okay, last question. Would you rather get the first impression rose or the final rose? Obviously the final rose. Come on now.

Obviously. You know what I mean? The meal lane. We're here for the rings, Madison. Yes. I'm going to jump in really quickly before we let Madison go because I have a question for Madison. Okay. Madison, if you could set our Rachel here up with any guy from Bachelor Nation, who would you set her up with?

I'm going to have to, like, I'm thinking about who's still single, who's still single. Grant is now single. Grant is single. Grant is single. Grant is single. Grant's now. Grant's now single. Jonathan.

Which Jonathan? Jonathan from Jen C. He actually has a girlfriend now. He just... Really? Yes. I'm thinking about the guy from... I'm thinking about charity from your season.

Aaron from your season single. Mercy. Aaron, Aaron B. He's not single. Aaron B. He's not... He's actually... Yeah, he's not.

He's dating Medina. Do you remember Medina from Joey's season? Now I remember her. They're dating, so they're not together. And then... And then Xavier from your season, charity. Well, yes. Xavier is.

Those are all great. You can't go wrong with any of those guys. I love those picks. I'm just thinking about, I'm thinking about, I'm thinking about, I'm thinking about, I'm thinking about, I'm thinking about recent, I'm thinking about recent guys. Yeah, we haven't had a season come out in so long. In so long. Madison, what are your thoughts about Pilot Pete? Pilot Pete, like he, he took, he dated so many girls.

Like, he chose Hannah Ann and then they didn't work out. Then he got back with Maddie Pruitt. They didn't work out. then he got back with Kelly, they didn't work out, now he's with another girl. Right, maybe he should just, yeah, I think we'll leave Pilot Peter out of this one.

What did you think? He was runner up on Hannah Brown's season. Why is runner up? Who do you think Hannah Brown should have picked if she didn't end up with Jed? Peter, obviously. Peter, yes. He was my favorite guy on that season was Pilot Pete.

Pilot Pete is great. I was rooting for him from the beginning and then he did not get chosen and then he became the Bachelor. Well, it was going to say, say it worked out, but no. Madison, I have one more question. When you watched mine and Gabby season, who did you think me or Gabby should have ended up with?

I was thinking for Gabby, I really liked Nate. I did too. We loved Nate, too. I was sad. I was reading for him because he was a single dad. Me too. I was rooting for Nate. I do like Nate a lot.

But then Gabby didn't, but then he came in fourth place on Gabby's side. But then she, when she was at her, she was at his hometown. She's like, I can't see myself as a dad, which was the saddest thing ever. Yes. On your side, I rooted for Zach on your, on your end. We love Zach. We do. And it all worked out because then he had his own season, and now he's with Katie.

And now he's married. We love Zach. Yes. Yes. And then Charity, on your season, I believe it was either Joey or Doughton that I was hoping for. Listen, and you know, somehow I picked the right two at the end. You did. Thank God.

You had a great. Final three. Yes. And I kind of knew that Brayden would go on Bachelor Pad. I kind of had a feeling. Yeah. He was perfect for Bachelor in her. Honestly.

And him and Christina and Mandraal, they're meant for each other. That's, that's right. We all said the same thing. It was like, perfect. Everyone finds their perfect person. Did you watch Bachelor Pat and do you think we should bring it back? I definitely think so. I agree.

Yeah, I did, I did watch it. I remember, I remember on, I remember, I remember, I remember how like, Michael Stagliano. I need to go back and watch this. She knows every lore about Vagelina. I love that. I have to just jump in. I'm one of the producers.

I cannot begin to tell you how much I appreciate your encyclopedic knowledge of this franchise because I am sitting here as the only one who talks about how Bachelopad is the greatest show this franchise has ever made. And just to hear you even say Michael Stagliano's name

has a screaming in the booth because nobody else here understands what a key player that man was in the history of this franchise. How dare you, Rachel Rikia? Yeah, Madison will let us know. What season was Michael on? Julian's season. Julian, there we go.

Duh. See? Yeah, Madison's going to be our third host. Madison, we need you on this podcast. Jesse Palmer's a good host, and he was the Bachelor for Season 5. He was. Wow, that's right. And he's the reason we can't eat on camera, because he was eating so much on camera he wouldn't talk to his date.

Jesse Palmer would? Yeah, that's why when we eat our food, our food is not real in front of us because of Jesse Palmer. Oh, we could talk about Bachelor all day long. Madison, this was so fun. We adore you and we want you back whenever, truly, because we have so much more clearly to talk about.
