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. iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. How serious is youth vaping?

We have the most exciting episode, one that I have looked forward to for so long because I am here today to officially announce the most exciting news. And that is I finally have my official co-host, Michelle Young. Welcome to Bachelor Happy Hour. Thank you.

It's like Minnesotans. Minnesota, back together. I don't know how they picked both of us. Absolutely. This is going to be a good time. This is going to be great or this is going to be, hmm. It's going to go a little crazy. How are you feeling?

Because you've never, I mean, you've done podcasts. You've done so many interviews. But now like the roles are reversed. So you get to be interviewing, putting everyone in the hot seat with me. I feel like I'm going to enjoy being in this position more than being in the hot seat. You know, like I get to ask the questions. Yeah, rolls are reversed. The rolls are reversed.

It's so fun. I mean, I was only new before we started recording, the last time we officially announced an official co-host with me, I keep saying official, it was two years ago, pre-COVID. And obviously, we've bopped around. We've had different guest co-hosts with me that has been so much fun to recap each season. But like, you're in it to win it with me. We're in it for the long haul. It's going to be a wild ride, but I love that. I have a former bachelor with me.

because you can give so much more insight and just advice and knowledge to the contestants and other leads coming through. So I can't wait. What are you most excited about for Happy Hour? I think just being able to, one, watch the show and not be on the show and not have to watch myself on the screen anymore, but to actually dive into all these other contestants and like really get to talk to them, really get to know them. And advice, hey, like you said, I mean, being a bachelorette like we've been in every single role right you've been in every single role because you've also been on paradise too right but it's just going to be i'm i'm really looking forward to it it's going to be fun i'm so excited and i mean you already know like bachelor nation as a whole

with not only the contestants and the leads but like the followers and the fan base it's crazy it's like no other it's like it is truly a nation and you've seen things you've read things you kind of know what people can expect. And so you're the most primed position to be here with me right now. So before we begin questioning and getting into all the fun interviews and games, I have a cheers to you. Welcome to Bachelor Happy Hour. I've been ready for this day for far too long, far too long.

So it's here. I can't wait. Cheers to you. Cheers to that. And I will say for all of our listeners, this is going to be a fun episode. So grab your wine, grab your cocktails, grab your mottails, whatever you want. Grab your snacks.

I'm a big snack person. Oh. Grab your snacks. Oh, girl. Woman after my own heart. Whatever you need to sit back and relax. Michelle, the last time we had you on Happy Hour was your finale. Obviously, you were very newly engaged, fresh off of the stage of not only being able to say Nate's name in public, showing off your ring, getting the down payment for a house.

So much has happened since then. Can you just catch us up quickly on what life has been like, what you and need are planning for your future? Anything. Wow. How much time do we have? All the time in the world. Hey. We got a full bottle of wine here. Well, it's been, it's been awesome. It's been just this roller coaster of, you know, getting off of the show, but also trying to fit into each other's lives and how that's going to look. And it's been pretty cool just because we have been able to spend a decent amount of time with each other's friends and family. And it's been so cool to see how much our friend groups have, like, embraced each other. Yeah.

And so, I mean, my really, really good friends and his good friends, like, they text each other. Like, they leave us out of the text chain sometimes. It's like, hey. That's how it should be. But, I mean, things are really coming together. And it's been nice to just kind of, like, take a pause and deep breath after everything. Yeah. And just enjoy each other's company.

And, you know, the big moments such as, like, house hunting and, you know, where we're going to be living, those are going to be exciting things to come for sure. But we definitely have just enjoyed being normal. We're trying to enjoy to be as normal as you can be when you're out in public, you know? Yeah, I get it. And I'm sure you still have people flock into you, wanting the photos and all of that, which truly it'll never end. That'll continue. But you'll start to adjust, but you mentioned house hunting. So when we saw you, the show gifted you with a down payment for a house, which at that point, I was, I thought it was going to be in Minnesota. Is that still the case? I think, so Nate and I

are two people who we like to look at every single option. So our initial thought was, yes, Minnesota, but, you know, we're also looking into like investments and things like that. And so we're still deciding. I mean, hey, like, it was pretty, it was a pretty generous down payment. Like, nothing says that we can't get a spot in Minnesota and somewhere else too. Yeah, I mean, that's smart. There's so much that's happening now in your lives and so much that's going to happen and be changing. So it's

good to still just take it slow, keep your options open, look. I mean, Southern California, if you ever need a place to stay, come stay with me in L.A., come stay with Thomas in San Diego. Hey, compared to like Minnesota weather. Oh. That's the one thing. Yeah. I mean, being somewhere

warm. Oh, I know. I mean, you're talking to a Minnesota to transplant. Do you miss the cold? No. I miss Minnesota. I don't miss the cold. I was just talking to my mom, I think like two weeks ago, we were in vacation in Mexico, so obviously like sunny, 70s, and she said that Minnesota got a huge ice storm and I was like, mom, this is why I moved. I love Minnesota. I love everything there besides the cold and the snow. Like I just can't do it anymore. And now that I've been in California for a couple years, I feel like I'm ruined. And so now anything like under 67 is cold for me right well like thomas and i went to the park the other day and

i had a park on and it was 65 and he's like what is wrong with you oh wow yeah i'm weak you've lost it well if you come here you'll get you'll get you'll get the sun every day i know i know i can totally understand where i come from okay one thing i have to ask you about because i love following you and nate on instagram he truly i will say this michel he is your like biggest fan he is your biggest tight, man. He, which I think is so precious. I love watching his stories and his post about you because they're so cute. What has that been? Like, because coming from the show, obviously, you were still very fresh and getting to know each other. And so it's so much more to learn. And that mix with people's criticisms and comments. Like, how has that been just seeing him now in his own element,

embracing your relationship and your life together? Yeah, it's just so different to be, you know, on the show and there's always this spotlight on your relationship. And so I think with him, he's just like, how did I get on a red carpet? He's like, I feel like I have imposter syndrome. What am I doing here? And, you know, what's funny is it's like, he turns to me and I'm like, I don't know what I'm doing. Like, I never pictured myself walking red carpets. And so I'm like, baby, you just got to fake it until you make it. You know, like I look like I know what I'm doing. But I'm probably just panicking on the inside. Okay.

How do I feel when you met Rihanna then? Because I legit probably would have peed my pants. Okay. I typically do not get starstruck. I don't know. I don't get starstruck. But that was pretty cool. But how can you not?

But that was pretty cool for Rihanna to come in. It's her event. And she walks through the crowd and then spots me and points at me. And it was like, oh my God, Michelle. And it like took me a few seconds to be like, What? Is this real? Who's paying her to do this?

I didn't even have to introduce myself, but really, I mean, in those situations, for me, it's just like everyone, they're just human. Like, they're human like me and all these different things. But it was, it was pretty cool. And it was pretty cool for her to go just talk to me and Nate in about, like, Nate's hometown. We talked a little bit about that. And it was cool. It was a special moment.

I have never seen so many good-looking people in one photo. Like, between if you heard. Nate, I was like, this is like, this is making me jealous right now. Are you still in contact with your Anna? Yeah, we text every, like, every once in a while. Shut up. No, shut out. No, no. But like, should I, I don't know. Should we have her on the podcast? Yeah, I don't know. Maybe we need to shoot our shot. What do you think? I'm down. I'm so down. Maybe we need to like slide into her DMs. Hey, remember me. That's, I think she'll remember you. But that's a crazy part is, I mean, and that's actually one thing that I love most about doing the podcast is we not only have,

have contestants from the show to recap, but we've had people like Kesha, I mean, like musical performers on, we had Andy Grammer, we had Rita Wilson on, like, so many people who are fans of the show and who secretly or not so secretly watch, that's the neat part. It's like your world's collide and you would never think that, but you get to meet some really cool people. It's, yeah, and that's what I, like, we're still, Nate and I were just having conversation about that the other day of just him and I were like, it's a reality TV. show, right? And it's like, it's a part of our lives, but it's not necessarily like what grounds us and makes what, you know, Michelle and Nate are, who we are. But it is pretty funny

just how many people watch the show, how many people embrace the show, and they get so invested. All over the world. All over the world. I had no idea. I don't know if there's a way to prepare for that. No. There's no way to prepare for that. And I remember even like you and I sitting down at dinner and I'm like, okay, Becca, give me all the tips. Tell me, like, you the inside scoop, the do's and don'ts, like, what do I need to watch out for? And it's like, there's no necessarily piece of advice that's kind of like, you know, prepare you for this. It's pretty crazy. Yeah. And it's like, you can talk to anyone who's gone through it and they can give you pieces of advice and little bits of things to keep in mind. But at the end of the day,

you just have to live it. Like, you know, I tried to prep you and let you know kind of what you're getting into before. And there's no knowing until you're in and out of it. It's wild. So you mentioned like what keeps you grounded. And I have to say for all of our listeners, some of us went out to dinner last night. Some people in the world of bachelor went out to dinner. And Michelle didn't come. And I kept expecting her to show up.

And I was like, where's Michelle? Where's Michelle? And Serena was like, oh, she's working. And I was like, she's working. And then I totally forgot for a second. You were a teacher. And probably like grading papers, giving out test scores, whatever it might be. So you are still teaching right now.

is that the plan? Do you still want to stay teaching? Do you want to take a break? I know at one point you mentioned, do you want to be a principal? Yeah. So I had to pause my master's program going into this because I want like my end goal is to be in the administration. And that's something that I'm still looking at and that's something that I still want to complete. But yeah, I'm still living my double life. You know, I'm still teaching. I'm still, you know, taking care of my bachelor's. days when I need to and then I'm still, you know, trying to be a Michelle Young. So it's been kind of crazy and with teaching, it's not like it's a job where you leave or you have to miss a day or call in sick and you don't have to plan. So it's like you could be sick, you could be

whatever is for vacation, whatever it is. Like you have to write subplans. And so all of these days that I have to step away, I have to basically break down every single piece of the day how to teach what it is because someone's walking into your room and they need to know how the day goes with these children and so it takes a really long time and so like last night I'm getting pictures of pasta and like laughs and all these different things and I'm like dang I have I have FOMO right now because it's like I want to be at dinner with all of y'all but well there'll be many many more nights to come I was lesson planning I will so my mom and my grandfather were teachers and so I remember my mom I mean every night coming home with this massive tote bag full of papers to correct like she would even enlist the help of my sister and I to help her to and she'd you know like give us the answers and we would go through all the papers and correct everything but even when she would miss school whether it was for one day like you said or a week like the amount of work she had to put in was so time consuming I have to say teachers do not get enough credit I truly don't know

how you're doing it all, though. Honestly. It's hard. And I think that's like the biggest thing is it's, especially this year, you know, it was even harder than last year. And it's, it's definitely not easy whatsoever. I think you can ask any teacher and they would agree that this year has been incredibly difficult. But yeah, you know, everyone's like, when is Nate going to move in? When is he going to move in? And I'm like, you know, eventually, but I think I might need him to move in a little bit sooner so that he can help me grade papers. Yeah. I'll put him to work. You know? Yeah. When Thomas and I were back visiting you in Minnesota, put us to work will help. I'm a pro at giving stars next to the right answers.

We'll be careful what you asked for. So speaking of teaching, you obviously had some of your students on your season, meet some of the guys. So I'm assuming now they've met Nate. What did they think of him? They've met Nate over FaceTime. Okay. And it was right after, like right after winter breaks and right after the finale when I got home. And so coming into the classroom that morning,

I remember thinking I'm not sure if like I'm not sure which kids are going to know right and which ones are watching I never wanted to ask like who's watching me on TV because oh my gosh I was hoping that it would be as few as possible no of them but when I did walk in the classroom that morning back and they were like they they picked out the ring on my finger real quick I'm sure it's hard to miss we'd show it off really quick I know our listeners can't see but we are recording they yeah they had yeah they had yeah they had a lot of questions. But it was just, it was really sweet and genuine that they cared so much. And they're like, when are we going to meet him? Ms. Young, can we face-time him? So we did FaceTime him. They said, hello. They were all screaming. They were so excited. Did any of them asked him any tough questions? Honestly, I didn't give them the opportunity to. Because I didn't want it to get out of hand. I will definitely let them have a Q&A once Nate can actually come into the classroom. I'm looking forward to that. I want him to have to, like, teach a lesson. Oh, hell yeah. Or like read to them or something. Like, I want him, you know,

and I'm not going to help him. Have him, like, have him spend a full day, like go to gym class, go to art class. Everything. Everything. I just want to, you know, are you going to sink or swim? Put him in a desk with the students and start doing, you know, like math equations on the board. He can't even fit in the desk, though. A six, eight man, like I don't, he can't even fit in a desk. Yeah. Put him and Thomas side by side. I would, I would watch this. This could be a, its own show. Okay, so to preface this, I actually saw Rodney last night at dinner. He's coming on tour. Some of the guys from your season will be on tour with me. So who from your group of men, because there were so many, are you still in touch with? I know him and Rodney are super

close, saying Rodney are close, but who else? Yeah. I feel like I'm kind of just, you know, in a relationship with Nate and Rodney. Nate's in a relationship with me, and Nate is also in relationship with Roger. A nice little triple. I love it. Yes. And so, no, Rodney is definitely the person that I'm the closest to. We've stayed in contact quite a bit.

Clayton. And then there's been some others here, there, you know, as well. It's just, yeah, it's so funny because it's like, even on Instagram when you post, right, that you're with, when I'm with, like, Rodney and Nate, so many people respond. I'm like, that's so weird. That's your exes. Yeah. And I'm like, we genuinely care about each other as people.

you know what I mean? And it's like, Nate, Nate and Rodney, uh, yeah, they are, they're close. And so, he's with you for life. He's with me for life. You picked Nate, but you got two, a two for one deal. 100%. And they apparently talked about that, like when they were rooming together on the show. They're like, just know that we are so close that if you end up Michelle, like I'm in your,

y'all's life. And if you end up in Michelle, then I'm in your life. That's why you picked one of them, isn't it? Because you got the two for one. A little two-friend deals. Yeah, I didn't, let me clarify, I didn't know about this deal until way after we ended filming. But no, Rodney, he's got a good head on the shoulders, and, you know, it's just, it's really fun to watch their friendship. Yeah, yeah.

You know? Well, and that's actually something that Rodney brought up last night is people will DM him and be like, isn't that weird? That's so strange that you're hanging out with your ex. But if you've listened to any Bachelor podcast, do you know, like, this world, it's, this is going to sound bad. I don't want to say it like this, but it's, like, so incestuous in a way where, like, you dated somebody who's now dating your friend or engaged to your friend. Like, it's just everyone's connected somehow. And it's truly not weird, unless there was bad blood or, like, very dramatic moments with somebody.

Usually it's fine. And we all run in the same circles still. You're still going to see a lot of your guys. Did you feel like you kept in contact with them, like, right after the show? did you have a lot of contact with? Some of them. Yeah. I would say like my last couple guys definitely.

Well, you know, like when you're still in hiding before you're public, you go into the happy couple homes. And so I actually, one day when I was with my ex, we had, it was right after mental all. So we had like four or five of the guys come from my season and we like grilled. We went swimming. We just had the best time. But it was so friendly at that point. You know, they understand how the show works and that you can only end up with one person. So, yeah, and I still stay in touch with some of them, again, because we're just at the same event.

So I run into them. One of the guys, Jason, who was my top third guy, he's engaged to Caitlin, and I'm very close with Caitlin. And so it's not weird, though. It's really not. Like, of course, there's people that you want to steer away from if you can. There's always a few. There's always a few. But it's not strange.

And everyone thinks that, but it's not like normal life where you date somebody for so long. and something bad happens and you're like, F you, it's just, it's, it's completely natural, I would say, for us. It really is, but it's like, what's so funny is that it's a weird situation. Like, the show is a weird situation. It's not a normal situation whatsoever. And so after that, there's going to be also not normal situations that happen. It's like, yes, this is not normal, but the show's not normal. So it's like, what can you expect, you know?

You just, like you said, you just kind of wing it and take it by day and nasseting it. I want to ask you this because I remember coming off of my season and finally being in public and, you know, like you said, it's crazy. You're traveling. You're getting invited to these cool events. You're meeting celebrities. It's a whirlwind and it's, I felt so lucky and grateful. But there were also moments where I felt so anxious and, like, so much pressure because of the show. Do you feel that?

Honestly, yes. Okay, good. I'm like, I can't be the only one. No, no. I do feel that a lot. And I think it's kind of actually just starting to kick in, right? Because it's like, when you're on the show and after the show, you do. You have this platform now. You have this platform where you can do something with it. And for me personally, I'm like, I'm going to do good with this, right? And that could look different and go so many different. directions but it's like everything you post there's still so much judgment casted on this you know oh is michelle going to turn into the influencers she's going to go from a teacher to an influencer and it's like nothing's necessarily negative you know it's it's just but it but there is this pressure for to constantly you know what is your brand and who are you and what people think

who you are and so i think that that's definitely weighs on you yeah Um, and it doesn't necessarily cause me to navigate anything differently because I'm still going to do like what Michelle is going to do. Yeah. But yeah, it brings anxiety at times. Like it is, it is a lot. Your life is different. Your life is completely different.

And I think it really does start to sink in that it is going to be different. Right. And, you know, it's just a different role that I got to learn to navigate. And so, yeah, Nate and I are trying to navigate that now. It's like, wow. This is social media. Holy cow. And like you said, you have, you could post anything.

It could be like the best thing in the world and you'll still get negative comments. You'll still get hate. You just have to learn to not please everyone, which I feel like you and it are so good about doing that. And it's also great that you have such a good support system in it that you're doing it together. But also not only for YouTube, but I'm sure for your families. Like that was a really hard thing for, especially for my mom and sister to now kind of be cast into the public eye and have people recognize them and know them. And there were times where they felt like they couldn't even come out with me because it was too

crazy. Like, how has your family been handling everything? You know, my mom and my dad actually recently had a conversation with me about all that just because we are a very private family, you know? Like with my brother, my brother, you know, he had just had a baby and went, so he wasn't able to come onto the show for like hometowns or anything like. that but I was almost happy about that just because he is a very private person and wherever my mom and dad go I mean hey my mom and dad are America's sweetheart it's like you know they are phenomenal people and so it is kind of fun for like me to see people recognize them um but yeah they feel the same way

like they go to dinner and you know people will come up and talk to them at dinner and and everything but you do have in the back of your head that you're always being watched and so my mom and I were going to have like a mom in shell day the other day and she's like we need to figure out how to do this so that we can actually spend time together and not spend time just like taking pictures yeah and so we had disguises like we had a mask on we had a hat we had her hair pulled back with hats on we had a hood flipped up we looked really sketchy but it worked but it worked but it worked well that i think when we first went out before your season started and i think I told you this, but one thing that I tried to set a rule, like a boundary on was when I was like

sitting down with my partner or my family or whoever might be eating dinner and like having a meal and sharing that time, I, and if people would approach us for pictures or whatever it would be, that was like our time. So I'd be like, I'm happy to do that once this meal is done. Like I want to break bread with my family or my partner. And I think that was so important because otherwise it just gets so out of hand. And then you start to kind of resent it in a way where it's like you can't fully enjoy being present in the moment because so much other stuff is going on. So hopefully that helped at all. I don't know. That was probably one of the best pieces of advice that I actually really took and held on to because it's so hard because I don't want to come off mean and I don't

want to come off rude and I don't want to come off like I'm too good to take a picture because I really do appreciate the support but there are definitely days where it's like you know you get done with teaching and you're at dinner with friends and you just have like a mentally taxing day and you're decompressing and it's hard to constantly you know pop back into that sometimes and so the I feel like the place where I put that into effect is the gym where I made the gym my safe space so like I do not take pictures at the gym or anything like that just because it's like that's my getaway you know whether i'm lifting exactly whether i'm lifting whether i'm getting work done whether i'm in the sauna you know it is my safe spot and that's like my mental escape so i've taken that piece of advice

with me and that has been a huge huge help good what has been the weirdest fan encounter you've had people showing up at my house you mentioned that yeah people showing up at my house or just getting getting followed home and it's like it's crossing the line it is crossing the line and it's like i understand people get really excited you know but i guess what happened is i was at i was at a stoplight and this group of girls pulled up next to me and then they saw me they got really excited it started waving I was in Edina, and I, you know, turned green. So, like, I kept going on. And the first time it happened, I didn't realize, like, I didn't think, oh, somebody's

going to follow me home, right? Well, because that's not your natural reaction. People shouldn't be following you. I waved, but, like, I thought that was the end of it, right? Like, if I was out walking in a mall, like, you're more observant, right? But I was like, I waved. I was in my car. I was just going home.

Yeah. And so, yeah, I get home, you know, literally park in the driveway, go inside. and hear the doorbell ring and there's like girls crying outside the door like fan girling and that's when I was like oh my god this is not okay this is my like this is my truly safe spot yeah and they you know asked if they could take a picture and I just said like I'm sorry but like this is this is crossing the line like I appreciate your support but I can't take a picture because I don't want to reward you like this is my home right yeah and so now I make sure to use my garage door opener, I pull in the garage, I shut the garage before I get out my car.

But hey, yeah, things you never thought you would have to think about. Right. It's wild. Well, yeah. And there's, like you said, it's crossing the line. Like there are boundaries of your personal safety and being in your safe space. You shouldn't feel like, okay, is somebody going to just pop up to my door or be walking outside the window?

Right. Oh, it's wild. And you'll still see that. I mean, even with DMs to some of the things that you'll read. And I'm sure also too, I want to actually ask you this because I think it's so funny from a guy's perspective to. And obviously we don't have Nate here. But people know you two are in love. People know you're engaged. Yeah. Women, I'm assuming, still set into his DMs and flirt, hit on him, whatever, correct? Honestly, really did not give much thought into it. But yeah, yeah. Yeah,

they definitely do or like I there was this time where I was in Austin we were out with some friends and I was with some of Nate's girlfriends like walking way behind him and he was walking he walked past this group of girls and these girls like literally turned and started screaming like whispering oh my god this Nate is so hot this and that are like good looking just like drooling over him and then they turn they're not wrong no they turn and look at I they turn and look at me and I'm like they look like they're like oh shit and i literally was like i know right like isn't he i'm like i agree with everything you just said hey i don't blame you go the command you got good tis and it'll still happen i mean i even to this day like we'll ask thomas like every now i'm going to be like what

like in the past week what's a random weird ass dm you've gone and people will still try to hit out and they're like i'm better than beka like really it's like people come on see i didn't even think to ask. I probably won't ask. I mean, hey, they got good taste. I get it. Hey, you can't him, you know. How is your family, totally changing gears here, but how has your family been with Nate? I'm assuming, well, because it seems like both of your moms were like already best friends at the finale. Have they embraced him? Do they still love Nate? Yes. They love him a lot. They, I mean, I feel like Nate texts my mom, my brother, my, or my sister, sister-in-law, and I do the same with his family.

And so I feel like our families have just really embraced each other. And, you know, my mom and him FaceTime, they, yeah, she loves him. I love it. She loves him. And she's so happy that, you know, even just after I had gotten home from filming, you know, they had that conversation that seemed to end rough when it was, when I was hometowns. But she, like, absolutely loves him. Good, good.

I mean, and obviously, like, it's a show. There are certain things that are placed in at weird times to make it look. probably more exaggerated than it was. But yeah, that was what I remember watching it. It was kind of a rough go for him. And I felt so bad. But then finally when you guys came out on stage, you seemed so in love, so happy.

We're watching you two together. I'm like, this makes sense. It fits. And I'm sure your family saw that right away too. Yeah. And that's exactly where, you know, a mom looks at, you know, their daughter and she's going to know. She's going to know that she can look into my eyes.

She can see us together and be like, okay. Yeah. And it happened right away. So did Nate ever ask for your parents' blessing? Or does it claim to? Yes, he did. He did. Why do I feel like I don't know the answer to that question? It's okay.

I didn't know. Oh my gosh. That is the first thing that I need to ask when I get home. When I came off the show, because I mean, at that point, you're already engaged. There's so much whirlwind around the proposal and then the finale. So why do I feel like I don't? I need to know. Should we call your mom right now?

No, because what if it's no? What if it's no? Like, will that make me upset? I don't know or something so. I will say, like, to his credit and to give him, you know, some support, it's, like, you guys are still getting to know each other, too. You didn't get engaged in normal circumstances. You have time.

No, but I really, I think he did. I'm pretty sure. Like, I'm 99% sure because I, I want to say, ask that question. Well, Nate, if you're listening and you didn't yet, do it before I get home. Do it before she gets home. Somebody sent out on text. Okay, wait, wait, wait. So speaking of getting the blessing and going into wedding planning, when we had you on happy hour,

I think you said, and I don't even know if you meant this summer, but just you wanted to get married in the summer at some point. Do you have any more wedding? Is that right? I'm laughing because we were, when we talk about that, I was asked that question. You know, that's the question that is going to be asked. Oh, yeah. That's the first question.

I hate asking you. I'm so sorry. That's the first question. No, it's fine. It's totally fine. And Nate literally said summertime, which is very true. We mean like we want like seasons. Yeah.

We want to get married. But a season, one of the four seasons. Well, yes, yes. Not Lowry seasoning, but summer season. If you know what I'm talking about, listeners. Uh, hey, that'll give you a good laugh. But I mean, I, yeah, summertime, warm weather. you know because okay because when I asked you that question I took it as like just what you said

in this summertime at some point not necessarily summer of 2020 I mean it makes sense though because people in this position do move fast right you just got engaged after knowing somebody for what 50 days you know I kind of joked I can't remember the first time I got home from mat season and I was actually thinking about how fast this was and I was like I don't understand I was watching a show with my mom was like I don't understand how people can go on like this 90 day And then I was like, time out. You're like, wait. Time out.

My mom called me out. Yeah, she called me out. She's like, shell. Like, you do that in like 50 days. I'm like, dang. But things do move really fast. And so I think people assume that like everything else is going to come just as quick. And sometimes it does.

And sometimes it's like, you know, we want to take our time. But also we know a lot of people and we have a huge friend group. And so a pandemic wedding would be really stressful to like think that not everybody could come. Right. And so I think that's something that we want to just make sure that we're completely out of. Totally. I better get an invite. That's all I have to say. Oh, without hesitation. You and Thomas right there. Speaking of just like the fact that you mentioned 90 day fiance, I still to this day do this. But even some of my friends, like some are happily married. Some will rush relationships. And so I get so judgmental. So I'm like the best judge duty. I'm like

you've only known each other for three months. How are you already moving in together? And I'm like, wait, oh, God, Beckett, this is you. I know, I know. That's so hard, right? That's so hard. But kind of to give an idea of it, it's just like you've also, we've spoken about so many different topics that you would normally not speak about.

Yeah. Right? So I feel like in that you are kind of channeled to talk about. Right. Nothing that's small talk. I think that's something I told you too is like you'll only have limited time on the show with these guys so ask the questions and I will say

I didn't do the best job my time around which is why going into paradise I was like oh I'm going to ask all the questions they will never make TV because they are too boring or too normal but to just like be in that mindset to know okay at the end you this person sitting in front of me could be my fiance I have to know like for me personally who'd you vote for?

Do you have debt? Like, how is your savings? Like, how do you live life? Yeah. Financially, like, everything. It was so important to me. So, like you said, like, those are conversations you have usually on a second or third date that you probably have with them. Okay, so I want your opinion on this.

One thing that I'm really curious about is when people go on this show and you learn to be vulnerable, like you really do. I think that's one of the positive things about the show is that you really learn how to open up genuinely. I was not a vulnerable person. I did not talk about emotions. I didn't not talk about my feelings. And I sure as heck did not let people see me cry. And so now I cry all the time and I can tell you. He's like, geez. That's one thing you're like, I'm not going to cry. And I was like, you're going to cry week two. They will break you. It will happen. Yeah. The fatigue, you know, the fatigue gets to you. But when people come off of this show, if it doesn't work, right? Like if you don't end up with that person, whatever it is. And if you go back to real world dating do you go back to real world world dating speed or no like Nate and I had this conversation the other day and you're kind of going back and forth and it's like is it hard to go back to dating normally because now for me I feel like it'd be personally like I'd sit down on the first date and be like I don't care about your favorite color I don't care about I mean I do but I don't get to things you know what I mean like there's just so many things that you can figure out

quickly. Is this going to work or do I even want a second date or not? You know, like it's hard to go, it'd be hard to go through those small talk conversations. Yeah. I, well, I'm probably not the person to ask because I went from Bachelor, right away to Bachelorette, obviously was with my ex for a while and then went, you know, went through the breakup, had, was not ready to date, and then went up Paradise. So I never went back to the real world, oh, as Thomas slowly walks by with bagels. What a sight to behold. Oh, my goodness. So I never went back into, like, quote, real-world dating, but I think that's something also that comes with age, that, like, for me, if I were to, I would probably want to ask more of those questions early on just to see if I'm compatible.

I think it's something that comes with age because at that point, you know, dating when you're younger, say in college and in your 20s, it's so fun, but you really do have, I would say, so much more time to kind of explore things. Like for me now, I just hate wasting time and I want to see if I am actually compatible and we'll work out in the long room with somebody. So I think had I had the opportunity to date in the real world, I don't think I personally would have had a problem with asking those types of questions, especially if they knew kind of like where I was coming from. Yeah. But I think like now that I see some of my friends date now that we're in our 30s and we're a little bit older and I would hope to think more mature at times. that we wouldn't have as much of an issue, you know, like getting down and dirty. Really? Yeah.

What do you think? I think, yeah, I think it kind of comes with, I mean, you bring a really good point with, like, the whole age thing. You know, some contestants, I want, like, the younger contestants, do they come off? And obviously, each person is different, right? But, like, do younger contestants tend to come off the show and then really go back to that, you know, just exploring, just having fun? Whereas, like, you know, coming off. the show is 28. You're like, I want to find my person. I'm going to settle down. Let's do this. Yeah. And no wasting time. And especially to, I mean, the fact that we were able to date 30 men

of all walks of life from everywhere in the country, different backgrounds, different races, different religions, everything, you can really get to know what you gravitate towards and what you're compatible with and what you're looking for in a partner, which helps. And you learn how to see it so much quicker. Like you do actually learn those questions to ask. Yeah. To learn that very quickly. Yeah.

And I will say for me, it was, I didn't do it the first time around that I kind of fucked up there, but I did learn. I will say that. Okay, so a biggest question, what is like a super important question that you felt like you should ask? Well, so for me personally, when I was in paradise this time around, and also I went in with the mindset of like, I'm not going to date. fall for any guy. I'm not going to like any guy. I'm just going to have a good time.

So when I actually started to spend more time with Thomas and start to like him, I was like, okay, shit, now I actually do have to ask these questions. And so I kind of went into it. We had one night that was never shown. It was the night after our first date. And we had all night to just, we laid on like this beanbag in the middle of the beach for hours. It started raining. And I was like, okay, here's my experience in life. Here's my dating history. here's kind of why we broke up. And so I gave the backstory to everything. And I was like, so because of the reason,

there was many issues of why we broke up, but because of that, these things now are important to me, where do you stand? And so I kind of went into it of like, where do you stand? Like, I would say part of it was politically, but also just like, where's your mindset

and how you want to raise kids? Because that was such a huge thing for me as I know one day I want to have kids, but I also want to be on the same page as my partner or my husband. And so things like that. And so, and Thomas was so great and open. And he, he didn't watch my season. And so he didn't really know about that.

So he's like, well, you know, from my experience, I'm this way. And it just all seemed to line up perfectly with him. But I really wanted to go in being like learning from, I would say, my mistakes and where I messed up in the past and, like, didn't necessarily ask questions right away. So, yeah. Yeah. It was, it's so funny to think. about that now because those are moments that I like kind of forget about you know yeah but um I have so many

more questions I want to ask you we're going to get into some fan questions but one thing is and we don't have to get into Clayton's season or the finale because obviously that is done and he's living his life but overall like at this point in Clayton's life now that he's done airing he can finally like be who he is yeah what's advice now for this point in his life that you can give him you know I think the biggest thing that I, the biggest piece of advice is just, I think I said this somewhere else as well, but to truly give yourself grace. Because you have all these different moments, all these different stages of this position. Like pre, pre-lead, pre-bachelorette and what you kind of have in the forefront of your mind and the advice that can help you. And then, you know, the show unraveling and you

navigating through seeing yourself on the screen and you know coming into that criticism and that that that spotlight and then now that the show is done you kind of feel like you can take a deep breath but then at the same time you know I have this platform and there's just still so much learning and figuring out like where you stand what you want to do with it do you want to do something with your platform and kind of still navigating all of those different pieces and so to just understand that it's going to feel like you have this constant large learning curve and it's going to be like that for a little bit but to just listen to your gut and to give yourself grace with how you're navigating things you're going to

make mistakes you're going to you know okay like I need to make sure that I am just you know navigating social media is a whole somebody give me a class on navigating social media because wow oh but even like if you could do a class but then even when you when it happens to You read something or see something, it's like, it's still like, it's like a knife in the heart sometimes. It's just ever changing. It's just ever changing. And it's just, it's so easy to mess up. It's so easy to not think past your post and like how, you know, this post could come off or how it could be received or how it could, you know.

It's just like you do. You have to be very tactful with the way that you move forward. or you could not be tactful and, you know, word vomit, too, you know, whatever you're looking for. But it is, it's just a lot. And so to just keep holding on to who you are, keep your support system around you and just understand that it's going to be, it's going to be a ride. Totally. And I think that's, I mean, that's perfect advice for Clayton because we both know him and he's such a kind dude.

But he also likes to please others and make sure others feel good. And he doesn't like that confrontation. or the drama, if he will. And so at the same time, he also still needs to please himself as well and be okay with his decisions and just, yeah. Yeah, give himself patience.

Exactly. I think that's great advice. Don't read the comments. Don't read that. I've talked to him so many times. Clayton, get off, get off the comments. I know. We've all told him as we sit

because we're like, just stop reading everything. Do what you got to do, Clayton. But it's just, I mean, no. I feel like that comes with time, though. I feel like everybody kind of goes through that. And then there comes a certain point where, like, you're okay. I'm good with putting it down. Oh, yeah.

Like, I remember getting to that moment where I was like, why am I feeding so much of my time and energy into people who don't actually know me? And, like, half the time, things that you read aren't even accurate. So I'm like, why am I caring so much about things that are just always wrong anyways? Hey, I own a food truck actually. According to the internet. I would not be math about that if you did. Honestly, it's really, really kind of a good thing.

It was kind of one of those rumors that I'm almost upset that it's not true. I wish it was. Hey, let's go. Should we start one in Minnesota? Let's just travel around the world. What would we sell? I would sell. Well, for sure we would have champagne.

We would need bourdon there. Champagne. And then like, I would say just anything with a carbonate or a chicken nugget. You think there's a chicken nugget food truck? I think we might be on to something. What about chicken nugget? champagne. That is quite the combo. Chicken and champagne. Bubble chicken. Yeah. Okay. We'll fendez it a little bit. Okay, we're going to get into some of these

fan questions. What couples are you hoping get together? I'm going to give you some time to think about who your dream, Paradise couple with me. I have my couple. But we did hear the rumor on women to all that Genevieve and Aaron Clancy know each other and may or may not have had a little fling. So how would you feel about those two in Paradise? I don't know much. So I can't sleep on it. But I would love to see Olu and Eliza. They'd be a good couple. Just because they both seem really sweet.

Olu is so sweet. We had him on the podcast and I really enjoyed him. Also, like I watched, he's with Rodney now. Or, whoa. Clayton. Riley. Olu and Riley work out all the time together. Have you seen there?

Oh, yeah. They're power squad. I was like, how many muscles can we fit on the one screen? They. Honestly. I know. I know. Oh, man.

Okay. I like that. I could get on board with that. I would like that. Okay. I have one question I want to say for the end. Okay. This one, dream celeb to have on our podcast.

Honestly, after this weekend, Rihanna, let's go. Okay, I will back you up. I'm going to manifest that. Rihanna, come on now. Can I also say, I don't even know if there's a name for this person, but whoever is the founder of Chipotle, I would love to have you on. I feel like I need the background story just a little bit, like a little snippet of this background story of Chipotle because I have been with you probably a few hours today

and the amount of times Chipotle has come into the conversation has been insane. Thomas and I are just obsessed. We go far 20 times a week and when we had Clayton on the podcast, he got a gold card and I was like, dude, I have been plugging Chipotle and taking them on Instagram. What's a gold card? Unlimited Chipotle. No.

Yes. So I'm like, what does a girl have to do? Does Thomas have to propose to me in a Chipotle? Do I have to go streaking through? How did Clayton get a goal card? Because he loves Chipotle, but I love it more. I don't eat as much as him, but I love it just as much. I'm about to like rip off my, I'm going to get like those tear away pants and like jump behind the buffet bar just and like. Let's come up with something. Yeah. The other night, Thomas and I got it, surprise, surprise. And I was like, do I just have to get a part time job there? I'm a. about to sign, I'm about to submit my resume to them. At least it'd be breaking even, right? Yeah. I wouldn't, no, I would, I would, I would gain too many pounds and not gain any money, but I'm okay with it. Okay. What is your bucket list trip? Greece. It's actually Nate's bucket trip. Bucket list trip. Right? Two? Bucket list trip. Why am I tripping over those words so much? Oh my gosh. Yes. That's something we discovered in overnights. Greece. We both

want to go to Greece. Oh, you should. Yeah. Oh, and then let me come and I'll be your handler. Perfect. Okay. This is going to be one last fan question. Then we're going to play a little game, okay? But this is a good one. So what can we, everyone do to help support teachers? Oh, my goodness. So this might sound like a really weird thing, but mental health has been such a huge thing with teaching, like these past few years, always is, but specifically these past for your years and there's this pressure there's this pressure to stay in the classroom where we all love what we do we all are incredibly passionate but you know when people come up to you

there's so many different pressures that are put on us where like you know when somebody says I appreciate what you're doing like that does so much just saying that but to have someone come up to you and say like I appreciate what you do you need to continue to stay in the classroom because those kids need you. And that right there, like that comment right there put so much pressure on it. It's like, okay, I have to continue to put, you know, my mental health below, you know, my passion, which this year is hard. And so just, you know, when you're showing your appreciation, one, just show appreciation. But when you're showing your appreciation, like these past few years, like we are really struggling. Like, it is really difficult. And, you know,

we're bobbing and weaving and catering and doing everything possible because we truly do love our students more than we we love ourselves but you know when when you're showing your appreciation kind of being tactful with your words in a way where it's not adding pressure you know and and then when they say that it's kind of them projecting what they want selfishly like you know like teachers are incredible and again like I grew up with them my sister as a current teacher you do not get enough credit all of you you like every teacher should be paid way way way way way more than what you are with just the time the effort you don't it's not like a normal nine to five where you clock in and then you'll leave and it shut off for the day it's like you take it with you home it's it is your

life and it's so much and you just you are so emotionally invested and you will truly do anything for your students and you know it's not like you come into the It's not like you come into the classroom and, you know, teach and then you just take off all those emotions and leave the classroom. Like, you truly, like, lose sleep over different situations and, you know, you know what kind of households your students are going home to. Like, you worry about them at times as well. And it's like you want to do and you are willing to do anything for them. Yeah. But, yeah, you can't be a good teacher if you don't take care of your mental health and that balance too.

And so having, you know, other people truly understand that. Yeah. Takes pressure out. When it's like any main aspect of your life, you have to take care of yourself before you can fully invest in your career, your passion, your other relationships with friends or family or your partner. And so I'm glad that you said that because I feel like it's probably something that most people probably don't even think about, to be honest. Right. Because it's like, yeah, I mean, supplies. Absolutely. Always grateful for supplies. but, like, if I'm actually thinking about, you know, what would truly help me, I guess, in this moment, it's that. It's showing appreciation in a way where it's not putting pressure on me to put my mental health below. Yeah.

You know? All right. I love that answer. I'm going to switch it up a bit now. We're going to get into one game, which, I mean, you will soon learn that we love our games here about your happy hour. So I'm ready for you. And we also love, I feel like every week we play our superlative games. But this one is Bachelorette superlative.

So basically, I'm going to give you a question or a phrase or something. And you just, I hope that you know most of your fellow bachelorette's. Holy cow. So I'm going to give you this one. And you can say yourself too if you want. Yeah. So best smile. Tasha.

Oh, that's a good one. She's got a good smile. Okay, there's. She's got a really good smile. She does. She's stunning. All of you are stunning. Okay. Miss Congeniality. Oof. Which part of this congeniality? I'm going to say this. I will say it's probably Trista. Okay. Because she is the number one bachelor's to constantly be reaching out to everyone else. Whether you're going through an incredible time in your life, whether you're going through a rough time, she will always text, call, check in on you. She's the first to remember.

birthdays. So, yeah, throwing it back to the OG Trista. Okay, Trista. All right. All right. Okay. I just lost the list. Let's find it. The best laugh. Rachel. She doesn't have a good laugh. Rachel's got a good cackle, doesn't she? Yeah. I'm good. Kaylin. Okay. Caitlin. Okay. Okay. Sorry, Rachel. I'm switching to Caitlin on this one, she, Haleylin has a cackle. Oh my gosh. There are times where even, even on my show, there was like a clip where I'm like, just, just listen to your laugh here for a second. I asked them to piece together a compilation of all of her cackle laughs from like her time on The Bachelor, her season as the Bachelette, like when she was hosting. Yeah. She has the best laugh. She does. She does. Okay. Okay. Yep, that one took me a minute, but.

Rachel does have a great laugh. Rachel has a great voice. I love Rachel's voice best dressed oh i'm gonna probably say i'm gonna say joel jojo i don't know why i just called her joel i would say jojo that's kind of who i was nothing to she just because she has such a good range of classy dressy also casual i'll go with her joe joe okay yeah okay um most likely to get the party started. Oh, Becca. Me? I feel like you're always upbeat.

Oh, I just don't. It's because I always bring wine with me wherever I go. 100%. That could be a part of it too, but nonetheless, it still gets the party started. Oh, hell yeah. Oh, thank you. I'll take that. Who gives the best advice?

That's so hard because it's like I feel like I've only taken advice from a few people. Who gives the best advice? Best advice. Can we repeat? Yeah, totally. Honestly, I feel like the people who I've spoken to, the best advice that I've ever gotten was from Caitlin Bristow. And it was her advice to surrender and talking about how like surrender is usually seen as a weak word or has like, you know, a weak meaning to it. And she talked about how really like when you're in that lead position, surrendering to your feelings. Like allow yourself to fall, even if it's falling for more than one person. Allow yourself to be in the moment. Allow yourself to have those emotions and allow

yourself to just accept that the situation is different. And that right there, changing the word surrender from a weakness to almost like a string, helped me through so many situations. So Caitlin, I love that. That's such a good bit of advice. And I will say she is incredible about giving advice for really anything because she's been in this world for so long. She's gone through the happy times, the engagements, the breakups, everything. So she's, she's so well-rounded and such a good person to get that advice from. Yes, she really is. Okay.

Here's this one for you. Most likely to get everyone laughing. Oh. I would also probably say Kaelin, honestly. Kailen is just the queen of the superlatives. I will also say this. We did the Bachelorette reunion a couple years ago. and after we were done filming, about half of us went back to a room and just like ate and drink

and had a good time. Emily Maynard had me cracking up all night. She was so much fun. It was, and I didn't expect it, I guess, because I didn't know much about her other than her time on the season. Yeah. But she was hilarious. At one point, she took out her extensions and like popped them in my hair and she's very blonde and I'm not. And it just, she surprised me and such a good way. So I will also say Emily. Okay. Okay. Most fun to share a glass of wine with. Oh, God, any of us. Honestly, I would love to sit down and have a glass wine with anybody. Yeah. If there's wine involved, anyone. I feel like all of these is so hard to just not go into stories, right? Oh, another one, too, who I have to give credit for is Deanna. I've done her podcast

several times. She was part of the reunion. She's, She's incredible too. You will meet her too. She lives in Southern California, so one day. Okay. I mean, you'll meet her one. Okay. Last and not least, who is your favorite to follow on Instagram?

Hmm. I don't know. Because that means I would have to be on Instagram, like, actively following. That's true. What would your answer be? It depends on, like, what kind of content I want. I mean, like, I follow most of them for different reasons. Like, I love seeing some of their kids.

I love following Jillian because she's so well-rounded. She's such a badass boss woman. She has so many incredible business ventures that I just aspire to. Also, it's been nice for me personally to follow Caitlin lately because she's currently on tour and I'm about to go on tour. So it kind of helps me get in that mindset of like the tour bus behind the stage, all of that. Will you be like going via tour bus? Oh, I will.

Yes. That's who we're life. I understand why you have anxiety now. Yeah, it's going to be a lot. Are you the only girl? Time out. Time out. I never thought about this.

You're going to be the only female. Because like, Caitlin, they're male and females on this tour of us, right? You are going to be the only female on this tour bus. Well, so I, so we'll have separate ones. So I have, I'm the host of the show and then I'll have like the female dancers. And then we have a casting team. Wow. This is a production.
